Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 42

Shen Yunrou's eyes almost went out of frame: "Those two nuns, are they really the nuns who serve by Prince Qingping's side concubine?"

Aunt Wang nodded: "It took me a lot of effort to inquire about the news. The Qingping Palace is gone now. Most of the servants in the Palace were pretended to be official slaves, some were sold, and some were slaves. Now that the rewards are gone, your father didn't know how your father found out about these two nuns, and then bought them back. These two people can protect the prosperity and wealth of King Qingping's side concubine in Qingping Palace for decades, which shows that it is not easy. I don't ask too much, they certainly won't teach you about the inner house, but even if you just learn a little bit of etiquette, it will benefit you a lot."

Shen Yunrou was still a little unhappy: "But Shen Jiamei's nurturing mother was invited back from the eldest princess' mansion..."

"It's not the nanny that the eldest princess serves personally." Aunt Wang said indifferently: "You don't have to take it too seriously, besides, looking at the madam now, it's still a question of whether this nanny can stay in the future. , you just need to listen to me now, go and be good sisters with Shen Ruyi, and when the second bedroom and the third bedroom are suppressed, then no matter what you do, I won't stop you."

Shen Yunrou is not really stupid, even if she is not happy, but Aunt Wang has analyzed the words to this point, even if she is not happy, she took her little basket to find Shen Ruyi, and she was a little embarrassed when she entered the door: "Just now I was Afternoon nap, because I slept so soundly, the maid did not dare to wake me up, is there something wrong with eldest sister calling me over?"

Shen Ruyi raised her head, looked at Shen Yunrou and smiled: "I brought a lot of gadgets from the Daming Mansion, originally intended to give to the sisters in the mansion, you are my own sister, these things are naturally for you Pick, when you finish picking, I'll send some to Jiamei."

Shen Yunrou was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Is there a gift? Then I have to choose carefully. Elder sister, don't dislike me for taking too much later. I have never been to Daming Mansion, and I don't know what fun there is in Daming Mansion." Yes, Eldest Sister will have a good talk with me later."

Shen Ruyi nodded with a smile, and asked Xia Chan to move out the boxes, and showed them to Shen Yunrou: "This is a mud call, and it can make a sound. I don't know if there is any in the capital. I asked my father before, and my father said I don’t know, he never asked people to buy these things, does the capital have these?”

"Yes, there is a shop in Beijing that specializes in selling these things. The third uncle bought one for Ming He's cousin last time, but it was broken by Ming Xiang's cousin. I just looked at it and didn't play with it. " Shen Yunrou picked it up and looked at it carefully: "Are you going to give this to the third sister? The third sister definitely doesn't like this..."

After hesitating for a while, Shen Yunrou continued: "Third sister learned the rules from the nanny. Once she said it herself, saying that this mud call is dirty, and noble girls can't blow it. She doesn't like it when you send it over."

"I didn't intend to give it to her. I heard from my father that the third sister has always liked very gorgeous and noble things." Shen Ruyi said with a smile. Girl's usual words, she still has more than enough: "This is for the little cousin. I heard from my father that the old lady likes third-bedroom people very much, so..."

Shen Yunrou's face suddenly became gloomy: "Are you planning to curry favor with the third house?"

The words were very rude, and Shen Yunrou felt a little embarrassed after saying that: "I didn't mean that..."

Shen Ruyi nodded: "I understand, Second Sister, you have to know that you and I are real sisters, and our eldest room is the master of the Hou Mansion. Whether it is the second room or the third room, they will be separated in the future. Grandma Those who dote on the third house now, let the third house take all the money from the Duke of the Marquis and put it into their own pockets, and grandma... our long house will suffer in the future."

Shen Yunrou pinched the mud and sighed: "Then there is no way, but fortunately now that my mother and you are back, I finally have someone who can take care of the house. When my mother takes care of the Hou's mansion in the future, the third room just wants to make money. The pen is useless. Sister, you must tell your mother that Sanfang has spent a lot of money over the years. It is a big expense just to celebrate grandma’s birthday every year. Sanfang needs to please grandma. , the birthday banquet is just how rich and noble it is, and then the third aunt will enrich her own pockets from it."

Shen Ruyi nodded: "This is natural, but speaking of it, the third aunt really has a way. My mother said before that your aunt is smart and capable, and the third aunt can hide it from your aunt's eyes. Playing tricks on the Internet to gain benefits..."

Shen Yunrou's face was flushed: "Didn't I hide it from my aunt! It was my grandmother who helped my third aunt, and more than half of the people in the kitchen were my grandmother's confidantes, especially the little mother Liu who was shopping. Didn't my grandmother ask her to pay for it?" Does she just pay for something? There is also that Madam Zheng, who was inserted by the third aunt, who only listens to the third aunt..."

Shen Ruyi listened carefully, and checked with the people in her head. There was no way. After she got married in her previous life, she never went back to the Hou's Mansion. It has been more than ten years. How could she remember everything about the Hou's Mansion? people?
The two sisters got together and talked for a long time, Shen Ruyi called Xia Chan: "Go to the kitchen and bring some snacks, I want lotus paste manna cakes, oil horns and fresh flower pancakes, all on the same plate, by the way, Aunt Wang likes it." What snacks do you want?"

Shen Ruyi turned her head and asked, Shen Yunrou was a little puzzled: "I like to eat emerald crisps and money crisps, what's wrong?"

Shen Ruyi smiled and shook her head, and continued to order: "I want two more emerald crisps and money crisps, and send them to Aunt Wang, and two more three-color sticky cakes and walnut muffins, and send them to my mother, remember." ?"

Xia Chan repeated it, she was sure she was right, and then went out to the big kitchen.

This pastry is the most labor-intensive, and it cannot be mixed together.Not to mention the different materials used, the steaming methods are different, and the cooking time is also different. For six or seven dim sum, at least three pots need to be working together to ensure that they will be delivered within half an hour.

It was probably because Shen Ruyi asked for dim sum for the first time after returning home, or because the people in the kitchen got the news and could not make trouble in front of Mrs. Shen for the time being, or because they did not understand what Shen Houye meant, so the dim sum from the big kitchen was delivered. very timely.

Shen Ruyi smiled and invited Shen Yunrou to have some snacks: "There is a delicious snack in Daming Mansion, called Dragon and Phoenix Cake, and you need to add a sour thing, which is not available in the capital, so you have to buy it from Southwest. Mother and son, sweet and sour, very delicious."

Shen Yunrou's eyes widened: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I'll ask you to make some for you to try later." Shen Ruyi said with a smile. Seeing that it was getting late, she called Xia Bing and the others over and shared the things she and Shen Yunrou had picked out. Several piles were sent to the people in the house.

Only people of the same generation have them. As for the elders, Mrs. Shen has already asked people to prepare gifts before, and these are not under Shen Ruyi's control.

For three days in a row, Mrs. Shen took care of the housekeeping according to the "rules" every morning and looked at the account books in the afternoon.Shen Ruyi took Shen Yunrou to learn the rules from Nanny Song in the morning, and she and Shen Yunrou did needlework and gossip in the afternoon.Ask the big kitchen for dim sum once a day, and ask for six or seven items at a time.

On the fourth day, by coincidence, Shen Jiamei, who met the second room, also wanted dim sum, and ordered three.This adds up to ten items, and the people in the big kitchen can't do it, so they must give a few less items.

The favored daughter of the second wife, the unfavored daughter of the first wife, and the old lady above, of course, more than half of Shen Ruyi's dim sum was cut off, and only three were sent.

Shen Ruyi immediately led the people to the big kitchen, smashed the dim sum plate on the ground, and glanced at the people in the big kitchen: "Who made the dim sum today?"

The head chef, Nanny Bai, stood up while wiping her hands on the apron, and saluted Shen Ruyi neither humble nor overbearing: "Greetings, Miss, what's wrong with the dim sum here today?"

"I ordered seven snacks, but only three came. Do you think there is any problem?" Shen Ruyi sneered, but Bai Momo's expression did not change: "Back to the eldest girl, this servant knows about it, please ask Forgive me, Miss. I ordered seven dim sums for several days. Didn’t the servants and others prepare them properly and send them over? It’s just that I’m too busy today. Miss is magnanimous. Please spare the servants and others."

Shen Ruyi raised her eyebrows: "Can't be too busy? How could you be so busy yesterday? Didn't you also be too busy the day before yesterday?"

"As for the eldest girl, the first two days happened to be free. On weekdays, the old lady, the second wife and the third wife seldom use dim sum, so it happened to be able to cook for the eldest girl, but these two days, the big kitchen has to be busy making snacks for other places. Sending snacks is a bit overwhelming. After all, there are many masters in the Hou Mansion, and the tastes are different. Every place has to serve one or two kinds of dim sum, which adds up to a lot."

Bai Momo lowered her eyes, didn't look at Shen Ruyi, and her voice didn't fluctuate too much. Anyway, it was the same sentence - the Hou Mansion is not just a big girl and you are the master. Some are not ranked.

Shen Ru's face was flushed with anger, and she stretched out her hand and nodded to Nanny Bai: "Okay, okay, you are really eloquent enough. Once you say this matter of neglecting the master, it will become that I don't understand you. It really is. I have already found an excuse, no wonder I dare to skip my snacks, you wait, we will never end this matter!"

After saying harsh words, Shen Ruyi led the maid and left.She didn't go around the kitchen for nothing, and she didn't want to ask Shen Houye to make the decision at this moment. Shen Houye is the trump card, and it can only be used at critical times to play its greatest role.

Right now, she is going to cry to the old lady, yes, she is crying, why is she so unreasonable.Of course, there has to be a sense of how to make a fuss, at least, she has to prevent the old lady from publicizing this matter and hurting her reputation.

How can the old lady suppress the matter?Hehe, isn't there Miss Shen San who is messing with it?Except for the people in the third room, Miss Shen is the heart of the old lady, and Miss Shen's reputation for delicious food cannot be spread.
