Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 420 Pretending to be Puzzled
As the owner of the scent space, Gu Qingling doesn't mind taking some time to satisfy her stomach in addition to learning various fragrances in the space.

The things watered by the Lingquan are quite different from the ordinary things outside.

Gu Qingling was able to maintain her current body so well, but it was "eating" from these good things grown in the space.

She ate well by herself, and she didn't mind occasionally getting a little bit between her fingers. She picked some out and put them in the fruits and vegetables brought from the village, and sent them to several daughters-in-law and grandchildren.

But Gu Qingling didn't dare to do too much, for fear of doing too much and attracting others' attention.

"Where did the old lady send it?"

As soon as Mrs. Yao tasted it, she found that today's melon was extremely crisp, and her eyes lit up immediately.

The eldest maid, Qiu He, laughed: "Yes, ma'am, it was just delivered this morning. This servant specially asked someone to pick up your favorite food, cut it up and brought it to you."

"Then you have to eat carefully. The melons and fruits produced by the old lady's village are very delicious. I am used to eating them and I don't want to eat other places." After speaking, Mrs. Yao thought of her sons and daughters again and asked Qiu He Is there anything left for them.

The eldest servant girl Qiu He: "Madam, don't worry, you will follow your old rules every time, and keep them for all the young masters. Even Young Master Yu and Young Master Zhou can keep some, but they are still young, the responsible mother Mama won’t let you eat too much, and there are a few spoonfuls per meal.”

"They are still young, just have a few spoonfuls to taste the taste, and when they grow up, they will eat it by themselves. By the way, is Brother Hong coming over today?"

"coming."

"Remember to send him a copy. Now that his teeth have grown, it's time to be greedy."

"Madam, don't worry, Master Hong will eat most of the fruit, and the rest will belong to Master Yu and Master Zhou. It's not wasted at all." It means to tell Mrs. Yao that the old lady will give it to you. No one dared to steal the melons and fruits that came, they were all eaten by the masters themselves.

Just as he was talking, someone came to report that Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao had arrived.

Mrs. Yao Er hurriedly asked them to come in.

When they saw Mrs. Yao eating melon seeds, they laughed.

"Second sister-in-law, the old lady sent you this fruit, right?"

"Yes, it was just delivered today. It's very fresh. I'll ask the servant girl to cut one for you too."

"Then trouble the second sister-in-law. You can tell at a glance that it must be sent by the old lady's village, and it looks better than other places." Mrs. Yao said with a smile, "Once the old lady sent it, I will I only ate two, and my stomach was almost full, and I didn’t even want to have breakfast.”

"It's the same, I, if I didn't let the servant girl take care of it for me, and eat carefully, I would probably eat it for breakfast."

……

While eating the fruit, Mrs. Yao took out the pigeon chess and played with them.

When they didn't have this thing before, they stayed in their own yards, and they wouldn't get together when they had nothing to do.

Later, when the magistrate's wife occasionally came to the door, there were more opportunities for them to get together, and then there was pigeon chess, and one day they didn't get together to play a few games, and they panicked.

In addition to playing by themselves, the maids and servants below will also play a few games during their breaks.

As long as the people below do the work that should be done, Mrs. Yao will act as if she doesn't know, and just turn a blind eye and close her eyes like the old lady, and that's fine.

Of course, if the work was delayed, she confiscated the pigeon chess without saying a word, and confessed that whoever dares to take that person to play will be seated together.

In this way, the people below will not dare to be lucky.

"I heard that the old matriarch's Wangzi Jackie Chan grocery store has a good business recently. Many people go to her store to buy pigeon chess. It is estimated that there are several sets in every family in Jinling now." Mrs. Yao said, "What do you say? , are they also like us, a few people get together and play so many games?"

"I've heard that too," Mrs. Yao San said, "Sanlang is running outside. Someone asked him about pigeon chess, and they wanted Sanlang to pull the string and do the pigeon chess business."

Mrs. Yao: "Did you tell the old lady about this?"

Mrs. Yao San: "I told you, Sanlang reported to the old matriarch before, and the old matriarch gave Sanlang a reward, and the following matters will be taken over by the stewards below."

"That's good. The old matriarch's reward is generous. I've wanted it for a long time. It's a pity..." Mrs. Yao sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have the good luck of your family's Saburo."

Mrs. Yao covered her mouth and smiled: "Second sister-in-law, don't embarrass me. Who in this Jinling family doesn't know about your Baixiang Pavilion and auction house? My Sanlang dares to follow the old lady, sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law. Some soup."

"The little thing of mine was exposed between the old lady's fingers? So I said, the person we should really please is the old lady." Mrs. Yao turned her head and asked Mrs. Yao, " You say yes, sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled without revealing: "Why not, who in the whole house didn't pick up the things protruding from the fingers of the old matriarch to eat? Who dares to go to the old matriarch and say, I will admire her."

"Sister-in-law, you are so humble. Our family has been in the glory of your natal family. I heard that the new construction team in your hand has a cement recipe, which is very magical, and it is almost done now. The most welcome baby of all the great families in Jinling." Mrs. Yao said, "This is really enviable. Unlike me and my third sibling, my mother's family can't do anything about it, except to eat meat and drink soup from the old lady. There is no other choice."

"Cement formula?" Mrs. Yao first pretended to be puzzled, and then showed a look of sudden realization, and said, "Oh, are you talking about the toilet? It's really a coincidence, I just took the task of the old lady to help repair something, and I just wanted to get the job done, so I racked my brains and tried every possible way..."

Not to mention the second Mrs. Yao who was already trying to test it, even the third Mrs. Yao couldn't help pricking up her ears when she heard about the cement recipe.

As Second Madam Yao said, they seem to rely on the old matriarch for food, but Madam Yao took out a "treasure" from her natal family. How can this not be enviable?

As a concubine, when Mrs. Yao was in her natal family, if she hadn't gained some face in front of the mistress, she might not have been the one who married into Yao's family.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that the original owner thought Mrs. Yao San was cowardly and easy to control, so she was chosen.

"At that time, I didn't expect that I still held such a prescription in my hand. When I took it out and used it, I just wanted to be filial to the old lady."

"Unexpectedly, the effect was good, and it caught His Majesty's eyes. My natal family also received such a reward."

……

Anyway, what Mrs. Yao meant was that it was an "accident" that her natal family received this reward, because none of them thought that this cement recipe could actually catch Mingguang Emperor's eyes.

If she had known this earlier, her natal family would not have held this prescription for so many years, and would not have thought of using it.
