Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 150
"Look at the girls in this mansion. Sister Yan is smart and sensible, and has the support of a powerful grandparent; Sisters Naya and Sister Miao are young, and your third uncle is also the most loved by the old lady." , if your third uncle makes some military exploits in Xiliang in the future, won't the two sisters be able to ascend to heaven? Besides, that wild girl who just came back from the countryside is also very good at everything, coaxing the old lady to go around..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Chengyu felt a lot more comfortable: Look, my mother hates that wild girl just like her.

Touching her daughter's hair, Yuan Shi sighed and said, "You are the only one who doesn't rely on you. Your father is already like this, and he can't be more promising. If he is not favored for a while, he will not be favored for the rest of his life. He even dragged you down." Not favored either! That's all, your maternal ancestor's family doesn't have the foundation to be an official butler, so it can't help you much."

As she spoke, her voice also softened: "My mother can make troubles while she is young, so I don't want to save some money for you, what will you do in the future?"

"Mother..." Zhao Chengyu's eye sockets heated up, and the words from the bottom of his heart came out: "I don't want any gold, silver and jewelry, I just want my mother to accompany me more, as long as my mother has me in her heart, it is better than anything else!"

"Stupid child." Yuan touched her daughter's cheek and looked into her eyes, "Mother naturally has you in her heart. Mother only has two children, you and your brother. Your brother has been with your father since he was a child." Running outside, you are the only one I watched grow up by my side, if you don’t love me, who else will I love?”

"Mother..." Zhao Chengyu murmured.

Yuan's gaze slowly turned calm again, and she earnestly taught: "My child, you have always been a careless person. If Mother doesn't plan more for you, why won't you be angry at your in-law's house when you marry in the future? You see Look at Wei girl today, pretend to be confused when she should be stupid, and be strong when she should be strong.

Obviously she used my rice to please the prince, but in the end the shop that the prince rewarded her was firmly in her hands, and she had no share in me at all.Even though I had 1 reluctances in my heart, I just raised my mouth a little, and the old lady prepared a basket of words to send me away...Why is this happening?Can a wild girl born outside be better than us?It's not because her father is an official in the court, but your father is just a businessman. "

She was complaining, but there was no loneliness in her expression, some were just planning ahead: "So, you have to be smarter, I don't ask you to have any scheming in the city, at least you can't let a concubine step on one end, you know ?"

"Well, I get it." After hearing these words, Zhao Chengyu was not only not worried about the scheme he had set up in his heart, but even more complacent.

As long as I give that wild girl a good look this time, I don't believe she can still be so arrogant!

Coincidentally, I also helped my mother vent her anger!
When Zhao Xiwei returned to the Rose Garden, it was sunset.

The maids brought up the dinner, she washed her hands and changed into a homely dress, then sat down at the table.

She was busy with several things in one day, and the tossing back and forth had already made her hungry.

Today's meal is very rich.

A steamed sea bass, a plate of fried beef, a bowl of steamed pork ribs, a plate of fried bean sprouts, a plate of hot and sour cabbage stems, and a cup of stewed chicken soup.

Zhao Xiwei took a piece of beef with his chopsticks. It was fragrant and tender in the mouth. It tasted the best he had ever tasted before, so he was a little surprised: "Where did this beef come from? Why is it better than the previous ones?"

Mother Liu put a plate of stir-fried peanut sprouts on the table, and said with a smile, "Miss, you forgot, this is the beef Mr. Cao Tang gave you."

"..." Zhao Xiwei suddenly felt that the meat was not tasty.

Aside from being happy, the servant girls were also very surprised: "Why is Mr. Tang so nice to Miss? He is giving meat and books, what exactly is he trying to do?"

What do you want to do?
Tang Heng's words before parting are still in my ears: "The prince is both talented and beautiful, with a noble character, and never indulges in female sex. All the women in Chang'an who want to marry him are lined up from the south of the city to the north of the city..."

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiwei almost choked, "Cough, cough—"

The maidservants on the left and right were busy pouring tea and patting the back: "Miss, please slow down."

After dinner, Mother Liu took the little girl to remove the bowls and chopsticks.

Zhao Xiwei washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, and then asked someone to bring a small clay stove over.

Yinbao was puzzled: "Miss, we use this to roast sweet potatoes, you want to exchange the fire for the small copper stove in the flower hall!"

"It's okay, just use this." Zhao Xiwei ordered the little girl to put the stove under the window, and brought some small bamboo sticks, a pot of lychee charcoal, and a small iron pot.

Several servant girls surrounded her, not knowing what she was going to do.

Zhao Xiwei went to the outside room, and after a while, the wind rolled up the curtain, and a faint fragrance of plum blossoms wafted in. She came in with a bamboo dustpan.

The maids looked up and saw a dustpan of fresh plum blossom petals.

Jinxiu suddenly realized: "Miss, do you want to make plum blossom tea?"

"Yeah." Zhao Xi nodded slightly, picked up the flowers one by one with bamboo tweezers and put them into a small pot, and said casually: "There is a jar of snow buried under the plum tree in the yard last month, go dig it out, Will use it in a while."

"Yes." Jinxiu lifted the curtain and ordered to go down.

Yinbao moved a small pot and sat by the stove to add charcoal.

The whole body is warm, and the fragrance of flowers fills the room, which makes people feel a little drowsy.

Seeing that she was really bored, Zhao Xiwei said, "Don't you like to eat roasted sweet potatoes? Go to the kitchen and get some, put them in the charcoal fire to simmer, after a while the flowers will dry up, and the sweet potatoes can be eaten too."

"Yes! Thank you, miss!" Yin Bao went out happily.

When I came back, I carried a small bamboo basket, which contained sweet potatoes, taro, chestnuts, peanuts and everything else that could be roasted and eaten.

Half an hour later, Zhao Xiwei put the dried petals into a ceramic jar and sealed it, while Yinbao was peeling peanuts and chestnuts.

The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes overflowed, and even Zhao Xiwei couldn't help but take a second look.

Mother Liu was worried about scalding the girls' hands, so she carefully cut them into small pieces and inserted them one by one with bamboo sticks.

As night fell, the lights in the room were turned on.

The orange light was warm and cozy. The master and servants sat around the stove, eating baked sweet potatoes, talking and laughing.

At this time, a voice came from the yard: "Miss San, Miss San."

Jinxiu hurriedly got up to look.

Zhao Xiwei was sitting under the window and was still peeling chestnuts. The reason why she didn't get up was because she heard that this was Zhao Chengyu's big maid, Cuilian.

"Oh, it's Sister Cuilian, what's the matter at such a late night?"
