The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 158 Laba Congee

"Let's not talk about couples."

Mrs. Zheng sneered, her eyes full of chills, obviously she had no interest in the Hu family, and all she had left was hatred: "You have the guts to say that I don't have the guts to listen to it, things that are not ashamed, do you still know what a husband and wife are? "

She pointed at Hu Da: "Husband and wife, you husband, have you ever earned a penny to support the family? Have you managed our mother and daughter once? You only know how to play with me for money all day long, and you also dislike me for giving birth to a daughter. Pooh, with your virtue, you are worthy of a son."

After scolding Hu Da, Mrs. Zheng made a slight salute to Duan Zongqi: "Excuse me, my lord."

Duan Zongqi smiled and pointed at Hu Dao: "Listen, I don't want to be with you anymore, it's serious to reconcile and leave, otherwise..."

He blew his fists: "I'll beat you up once, and then arrest you and put you in prison. I think you'd be very happy."

When a threatening word came out, Hu Dazao turned pale with fright, lowered his head and trembled, and did not dare to say a word.

Mrs. Zheng became more and more sad and resentful, she was really blind, she spent so many years being humbled by such a bullying thing.

Mrs. Zheng pulled Daya, and then Erya and smiled: "Mother is determined to reconcile with your father, what do you want? Do you want to go with your father or mother?"

The big girl wiped her tears, her little face was firm: "I'm going with my mother, I don't want to stay in this house anymore."

Erya was obviously also frightened by the behavior of the Hu family who betrayed everyone just now, first she flattened her lips, and then said: "I will follow mother."

"Okay." Zheng smiled.

But at this time, Duan Zongqi had already explained the situation to the head of the village, and the head of the village asked someone to invite the elders of the Hu family to come over. He only said that he wanted to reconcile, and both Zheng and Hu Da agreed.

So a group of people under the high pressure of Duan Zongqi wrote the document of reconciliation, which stated that the two daughters born to Hu Da and the Zheng family followed the Zheng family, and they had nothing to do with the Hu family in the future. They talk about marriage without interfering with each other.

This document was in triplicate, Hu Da and Zheng each held one copy, and Duan Zongqi took the other copy and said it would be put in the yamen.

Afterwards, Duan Zongqi looked at the Hu family and asked Mrs. Zheng and her two daughters to pack up her dowry and put all the dowry on the ox cart. Mrs. Zheng took the two girls into the ox cart. heart.

This matter has been done successfully, and Mrs. Zong Xian must be satisfied. In the future, it is impossible to say that he can also be promoted to some official positions.

Mrs. Zheng got into the carriage, and turned her head suddenly the moment she left Hu's house. Hu Da was overjoyed, thinking that Mrs. Zheng had regretted it, so she hurriedly chased her a few steps over. Mrs. Zheng smiled: "I'm leaving, I wish you all the best before I leave. From now on, the Hu family doesn’t talk about sons, but they don’t even have a girl, don’t you look down on women, I’ll wait for you to be reborn as a daughter in your next life, and understand the pain of women.”

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zheng asked the coachman to drive away immediately without looking back, leaving Hu Da alone with an extremely brilliant expression on his face.

Seeing that Mrs. Zheng seemed to be a well-established and domineering person in the Hu family, but when she got in the carriage and left, she hugged the two girls and cried loudly, and the crying girls also cried.

Duan Zongqi followed on horseback, listening to the distressed cries of Zheng's mother and daughter, he also felt a little uncomfortable.

After a while, Duan Zongqi persuaded: "Miss Zheng, look forward to everything. Do you think that our wife, the chief constitution, cares about you now? Don't say anything else. It's just that my wife will help you a little bit. You will have many good days in the future, so why bother to think about such bad things."

Mrs. Zheng stopped crying as soon as she heard it, and said to Duan Zongqi seriously in the car: "Thank you, sir, for your explanation. I'm not overwhelmed, I'm just happy, that's why I'm crying."

"Where Miss Zheng is going, I'll take you there." Duan Zongqi asked again.

Zheng Shi thought for a while: "I don't know where to go?"

Duan Zongqi suddenly remembered what the servants of the married family said when they were looking for him, and said with a smile: "That's it, why don't I send you to see the madam first, if the madam takes care of this matter, she won't be called You have no food and clothing, so there must be some arrangements."

"This..." Mrs. Zheng hesitated: "This is not good, I always trouble Madam..."

"Is there anything good or not? It's not for yourself, but for the two girls." Duan Zongqi persuaded again, and said forcefully: "That's it, I'll send you there first."

Mrs. Zheng didn't object anymore. As Duan Zongqi said, she was fine with herself, but for her two daughters, she could only trouble Mrs. Cheng.

After Duan Zongqi brought Zheng's mother and daughter back to Jinling City, it was almost curfew. He hurriedly took the mother and daughter to the family, handed them over to the servants of the family, and hurried away on horseback.

However, after Ji Songxian told someone to help Zheng to reconcile and leave, he no longer cared about this matter. Now that the New Year's Day is getting closer, although she and Cheng Huaijin are the only two masters in the family, there are only a few things that are needed for the New Year's Day. Can't be less.

As the mistress of the house, Ji Songxian asked her to prepare some things by herself.

While preparing the things for the New Year, Ji Songxian thought that the New Year's Eve would be easier for future generations, but the atmosphere of the festival would be less and less festive. Whereas it is now, it is really hard to celebrate the New Year at this time.

Just like Ji Songxian is like now, just because tomorrow is Laba, Ji Songxian asked the servants in the kitchen to prepare a lot of porridge things, wash what needs to be cleaned, peel what needs to be peeled, and then soak the rice.

Today, after Mrs. Zheng left, Ji Songxian changed his clothes, put a big apron around his waist and started cooking porridge.

Laba is the best season to test the cooking skills of a headed mother. The porridge for the servants is cooked by the cooks, but the porridge given away must be cooked by the headed mother. After sending it to acquaintances or relatives and friends, those who receive the porridge will comment on whose porridge is cooked well and whose porridge is the worst.

Therefore, on the first day of Laba, the mistress of the house is very busy, and she also puts her best effort into cooking porridge.

Whether it is a wealthy family or a poor family, girls will cook Laba porridge with their mothers when they are young. After many years of practice, this porridge cooking skill is amazing after they get married. Laba porridge can also be cooked. Come up with many tricks.

What Ji Songxian cooks now is thin porridge, which is different from ordinary thick porridge. It takes more effort and time to cook carefully.

In the courtyard of the front yard, there is a large stove, on which is a large iron pot, filled with warm water, and Ji Songxian put many washed and soaked things into the water one by one. The last thing to put is lotus seeds or various rice grains that are easy to cook.

Various beans, pitted dates, walnuts, lotus seeds, glutinous rice, sesame...

It is said to be eight-treasure porridge, but there are eighteen kinds of things added in it.

There are only two people in this family, Cheng Huaijin and Ji Songxian, and the two of them don't like extravagance on weekdays. The cost is tight, even Cheng Huaijin's salary and money can't be spent, let alone Ji Songxian and Cheng Huaijin. The Zhuangzi shop was run by someone else, and Cheng Huaijin had a lot of money and jewels in his hands. With such consumption by the two of them, the existing money alone would not be used up in a lifetime.

Naturally, many good ingredients are used when cooking porridge.Looking at ordinary beans and dates, they are all produced in the best places, and there are just a few kinds of dates, such as big dates, small dates, candied dates, etc. There are also many kinds of beans, and the same is true for rice.

Adding things in, and then carefully cooking, watching the fire control, or adding some water, or removing some fire, is always a trivial and cumbersome thing.

And waited for Ji Songxian to cook the porridge almost, and only warmed it slowly with a small fire, she was relieved, and went to the kitchen to instruct the cooks to make some exquisite snacks and side dishes.

After everything was done, Ji Songxian felt exhausted, so he took off his apron and wanted to go back to his room to wash and change his clothes, but he heard that Mrs. Zheng came with her two daughters.

Ji Songxian hurriedly asked Rao Liang to take them to the guest room to settle down and come to see them again.

Washing up in a hurry, Ji Songxian changed his clothes, soft satin apricot jacket, moon white long skirt, added a light ginger yellow gown, combed his long hair into a cloud bun, and only wore A light yellow peony silk flower, after dressing up, Ji Songxian went to the front hall, but saw Mrs. Zheng waiting with two girls.

It is only said that Mrs. Zheng went to the guest room to settle down with her around the beam, and after tidying up the things she brought, a little girl from Chengfu brought a kang table with the rough envoy woman, and put some food on it, the little girl slightly With a smile: "Sister Zheng is afraid that she hasn't eaten yet, so take the two ladies to eat something to fill their stomachs, so as not to starve the little lady."

Mrs. Zheng also laughed, and ate something with the two girls.

The big ya and the erya lived a miserable life in the Hu family, and they didn't eat anything good at all. Today when Mrs. Zheng came out, they were starved again. At this time, they were too hungry to see the food. Only Mrs. Zheng raised them normally. It was good, he didn't rush forward to force his life, but ate slowly and politely.

Although it seems that eating is very slow, there are a lot of things to eat.

After eating, the three mothers began to look at the room.

Although it is a guest room, the furnishings are very good. There are some rosewood furniture and some antique calligraphy and paintings. The bookshelves, desks, tables and chairs in the room are also complete, and the desks are equipped with the Four Treasures of the Study.

Seeing these arrangements, Mrs. Zheng became more and more careful, and at the same time told the big girls not to touch them.

After resting for a while, Mrs. Zheng proposed to visit and thank Ji Songxian, and a girl reported to him, and a little girl took them over for a while.

In the front hall, Mrs. Zheng was fine, only the two children were almost dazzled, they just whispered, could this be Tiangong?
After a while, she heard the sound of many footsteps, Mrs. Zheng got up quickly, and the two children also stood up, and saw the first two girls opening the curtain, and then a girl in a satin dress helped into a The dress is very unique, but she is really good-looking, an indescribable beauty.

Although Mrs. Zheng came to pay a visit to Ji Songxian first, she had something in her heart and never paid attention to Ji Songxian's appearance. Now her son took a closer look, and was unavoidably surprised, thinking that Mrs. Cheng is really a beautiful person. It's strange that someone once said that the girl from Ji Xiang's family is the best looking girl in Jinling City.
