A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 367 It's Smart

Meng Yan looked at Tang, and said, "Madam will send us off if she doesn't invite the cook to check it out. Is it so indiscriminate?"

With a sullen face, Tang asked someone to invite the cook.

As soon as the cook came, she insisted that there was no bird's nest stewed for Tang in the kitchen.

Meng Yan asked her again which vegetables were missing, but she hesitated and couldn't tell. She raised her finger and pointed to the vegetable basket, and said in general that it was the ones in the basket.

Meng Yan asked with a smile, "What's in the basket?"

The cook said, "That's all."

Meng Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "You can't even name it. Could it be that you stole the ingredients from your kitchen and blamed me? Chongyi just bought this basket of vegetables from the vegetable market."

The cook hurriedly shook her head and said: "Madam is clear, servants will never dare!"

Meng Yan said: "Come on, let's match the name of the dish. If it doesn't match, you must have kept it for yourself."

Meng Yan casually reported the names of a series of dishes, and the cook insisted that it was precisely these that were missing in the kitchen.

In the end, Meng Yan said: "Ah, I don't have any of the dishes I mentioned here. Then where did the ones that are missing in your kitchen go?"

For this reason, she also asked Chongyi to take out the vegetables in the vegetable basket for everyone to see, and sure enough, none of the dishes she mentioned just now took up the names.

The cook was a little dazed, and after realizing that it was Meng Yan who was cheating her, she turned to Tang and said, "Mrs. Mingjian! There are detailed records of the kitchen's daily purchases, and the slaves dare not steal them for themselves! It's her who is talking nonsense. , she doesn't recognize these dishes, then the bowl of bird's nest she stole is an undeniable fact!"

Meng Yan looked at the cook and said, "Are you sure your wife is missing a bowl of bird's nest?"

The cook gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sure!"

Meng Yan brought the soup bowl unhurriedly, there was still half a bowl left in the bowl, she scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, and said, "Come on, take a look, is this the bowl of bird's nest that your kitchen threw away? "

Everyone took a closer look into the bowl, only to find that this is no bird's nest, it's obviously white fungus soup.

The cook muttered and was speechless.

Annoyed, Tang asked someone to take the cook away.

Meng Yan looked up at Tang, and said, "We didn't take your ration or rice. In the future, you will continue to cut off yours, and we will continue to take ours. Don't let anyone get in the way. So you, the wife in charge, should It’s enough to worry about.”

After a pause, she raised the corners of her mouth wickedly again, and smiled at Tang shi, "But if you don't want to worry about it, there are many ways to do it."

Tang's heart sank slightly when Meng Yan saw it.

It seems that I have underestimated Meng Yan. I thought Meng Yan was just uneducated, but now it seems that is not the case.She is surprisingly calm and calm, not an easy little girl at all.

It's not good for the Tang Corporation to push too hard, otherwise it would be a waste of time to bring Meng Yan to the capital.

In the end, Tang Corps left with someone again.

Tang's people paid attention to it, and there was indeed not a single vegetable leaf missing in the back kitchen, but did they really buy these ingredients in Meng Yan's courtyard by themselves?
Tang Corps couldn't find out exactly who it was entrusted to buy it for.

After the people left, Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, according to Madam's instructions, I prepared tremella soup first."

As for the bird's nest sent by Chongyi, it has already entered Meng Yan's stomach.

It was also when everyone was eating dim sum earlier that Meng Yan noticed that someone was watching outside, so she asked Yan'er to boil some white fungus soup and said something about bird's nest, and the people outside hurried back to report.

Meng Yan knew that the Tang family went to the courtyard to fast, and they lived well, so sooner or later they had to bring it up.

It's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard.

In the evening, the afterglow sprinkled bits of gold on the pond.

Meng Mei sat playfully by the pond, took off her shoes and socks, played with her feet in the water, and smiled at Meng Shu: "That Meng Yan is not stupid at all, but rather smart."

Meng Shu, who has always been proud, couldn't help but frowned when she heard the words.

Meng Mei had a great time playing, her snow white feet were dripping with water, and she said again: "You said she is willing to marry to another family to pave the way for Daddy's official career?"

Meng Shu said: "If she is really a smart person, she should be very grateful. No matter which family she marries into, it is a high marriage for her. Otherwise, she is a lowly country girl, and she still expects to be famous?"

Today, Tang corps was going to attend a tea party in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing, so he brought his two beautiful daughters with him.

The tea party was hosted by the queen in the palace, and all the ladies rushed to bring their daughters with them.

Soon, it will be the palace draft.The queen took this opportunity to get acquainted with all the ladies. If the ladies can please the queen, they may be pointed out to the princes who have reached the age of marriage.

The same is true of Tang's thoughts.If her daughter can marry the prince of the dynasty, she will be prosperous and carefree.

It's just that Meng Mei is a few years younger than Meng Shu, Tang's plan is mostly for Meng Shu this time, once Meng Shu is married, Meng Mei will be able to talk more.

The Tang family first communicated with the sisters who are concubines in the palace, and asked her to walk around with the queen, so that the queen can get acquainted with the Meng family sisters first.

Regardless of who the biological fathers of the Meng family sisters are, their backgrounds are also very prominent.

Their grandfather is the Duke of Yipin, their aunt is a concubine in the palace, and their nominal father is also a member of the cabinet.This kind of background is also better than most official ladies.

Coupled with Meng Shu's dignified demeanor and Meng Mei's playfulness and vivaciousness, the two sisters attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the palace.

The queen summoned the two of them to her, and asked them a few words in an amiable manner.

Tang's heart was happy, these two daughters were brought up by her since childhood, of course she was very relieved.

Tang turned around and socialized with the ladies again.Their circle is often related to the official social life of their husbands, which should not be underestimated.

Tang's heart is still towards Meng Yunxiao, and now that Meng Yan has come to Beijing, she has to make the next step, to find a marriage for Meng Yan.

As for this marriage, she had already fallen in love with Xu Ge's hometown.

This Xu Ge is always a cabinet bachelor with considerable prestige and qualifications in the cabinet. Winning him over will be very helpful to Meng Yunxiao.

Elder Xu Ge's wife also came today, Tang shi began to chat with her.

------------

When Tang took her daughter to the tea party, Meng Yunxiao came back early.

In the back garden, he happened to see Mrs. Xia and Yan'er coming out of the yard to fetch water from the well.

There is a live well for water in the Meng family's house, and Meng Yan and the others' yard need water for daily use, it's impossible for the Xia family to stay in the yard all the time, and they have to come out for a walk occasionally.

It was still the same as before, Meng Yan and the others made a cart, which could be pushed back with a bucket full of water, so it was not difficult for Xia Shi and Yan'er to fetch water.

The Xia family didn't let Meng Yan go with her, but let Chongyi guard her.
