The concubine is also very good today

Chapter 15 Greedy Mouth
Xiao Cao is in her thirties, with a ruddy complexion, young and rich, and a look of blessing. While fanning the round fan leisurely, she greeted Xu Ruyi and said: "My good boy, don't stand here, come and sit in the house." Go. At noon, the fifth sister still said, did the second elder brother marry a fairy? She has never seen such a beautiful person in her life!"

Xu Ruyi smiled and said: "If there is a chance in the future, I will bring Fifth Sister into the palace. There are many angels in the palace, and she will definitely feast her eyes."

"Hey! What a pity, the fifth sister is a concubine. I'm afraid it's against the rules to bring her into the palace, right?" At this point, Xiao Cao's face looked sad, "The five children of our Hou's mansion, I am We treat everyone equally, but this is only at home, we still know the rules when we go outside. So, our fifth sister doesn't expect to see many angels, as long as she sees you, she will be very happy."

"That's good, I often come back to see Fifth Sister." Xu Ruyi asked as she followed Xiao Cao into the house, "But speaking of it, why didn't you see Big Brother at the wedding banquet yesterday?"

When Xiao Cao heard this, she smiled ashamedly and said, "Ruyi, mother-in-law is just trying to tell you about this! Brother Xi of our family only took office the year before last, and he is doing more work under his boss at the moment. When he was young and promoted to the rank, besides, he also wanted to exercise more outside, so that he would not be in a hurry when he attacked the rank in the future. So, now he can report his family's safety in ten days and half a month, and the family is also safe. Don't worry."

It's not that Xu Ruyi is ignorant of the affairs of the Marquis of Anding. The eldest son Jing Xi is the son of Xiao Cao's sister, Da Cao, who died six years after giving birth to Jing Xi. After the first anniversary, Xiao Cao became a stepmother and gave birth to Jing Yu the following year. Two years later, she became pregnant again, but due to miscarriage, she became infertile for life.Later, the third brother, fourth brother and fifth sister were all from the concubines of the mansion.

However, Xiao Cao's spiritual leader is obvious to all nobles. She is enthusiastic and has not been affected at all because her only son gave up the scientific examination to become an official. In front of Ruyi, she also talked eloquently: "My brother Xi is busy all day long and doesn't care about his family, so he has no intention of getting married in the past two years, but brother Yu, don't look at him in the capital. There are many industries, but he is now either the owner or the partner. To put it bluntly, he is the shopkeeper. He has a lot of time to take care of you at home. You are blessed to marry him!"

Xu Ruyi nodded, and Xiao Cao continued: "Come on, let's go into the house! My mother-in-law will tell you something about Brother Yu's childhood! Our brother Yu has always had ideas since he was a child. The ancestor asked him and Brother Xi what they wanted to do when they grew up. Brother Xi said he wanted to be an official, and Brother Yu said he wanted to make a fortune. The ancestor laughed from ear to ear. Look, the two brothers have their own differences. Ambition does not come with fighting! So you will know in the future, our Marquis Mansion is in harmony..."

……

At the same time, Jing Yu, who was in a drowsy sleep, always felt uneasy in a trance, so he opened his eyes, but found that there was no one in the room.

My aunt isn't in the house?

Chaoming and Xingtao are not there either?

Jing Yu put on a piece of clothing and pushed open the door. He didn't know the way, and was afraid that he would get lost in this huge mansion alone, so he went to the kitchen to find Fangmao who was busy.

Seeing Jing Yu asking about this, Mother Fang replied, "The princess told me before leaving that she would go to Mrs. Cao's place to sit for a while."

Jing Yu was stunned: "Why did she go to my mother again? Didn't she go to offer tea in the morning?"

Mother Fang replied: "My lord, it's not that this old slave is talking too much. Although the princess is honorable, she is the daughter-in-law of the Marquis Mansion after all. It's fine if you don't do the ceremony, she always has to. Otherwise, there will be gossip outside. of."

Jing Yu sighed helplessly.

He originally thought that my aunt was a princess, so she could be confused, but after all, she was still a woman, and she would still be trapped by the rules of this world.

But Jing Yu knew even more in his heart - his mother was not easy to get along with!

"Then why did she go alone? Why didn't she wake me up?"

Mother Fang replied: "Princess said you are tired, let you have a good rest, she will be back in a while."

At this time, the cook at the side said: "Before the princess leaves, let us cook some delicious food for the master. We are roasting duck on the stove right now! Are you satisfied with it?"

Roast Duck? !
Hearing this, Jing Yu's eyes lit up.

He hurried to the oven, and he saw a roast duck hanging on the oven.

But after seeing the roast duck, Jing Yu frowned suddenly.

"Not satisfied!"

The cook came to the oven humbly, and asked cautiously: "Master, what are you dissatisfied with? Or what needs to be improved, we will do it according to your request..."

Jing Yu pouted, pointed at the oven with a look of disgust, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you bake just one? Can you eat it? At least three!"

The cook heard the words and hurriedly responded: "Hey! Bring two more ducks!"

Jing Yu thought of something at this time, and added: "No! You have to bake four! Prepare one for the princess!"

Such a fragrant roast duck, what if my aunt also likes it?

The cook on this side responded, and the cook on the other side said: "Master, your favorite roast chicken is cooked for you!"

Jing Yu replied excitedly: "Hey! Seriously burn it, and still have the same taste as before!"

"Don't worry, my lord. When we were in the palace, we often made roast chicken, and the taste will not change."

Jing Yu was nodding his head in response when he heard various voices coming from the kitchen——

"Master, I made Longjing shrimp in this pot!"

"Grandpa, do you like to eat old duck stew with dried bamboo shoots?"

"Master, do you need to add spice to this grilled eel?"

Jing Yu's face was full of little happiness, and he didn't have time to see how they cooked the dishes one by one.

After a while, these dishes were ready. Jing Yu didn't wait for them to bring the dishes into the house, and started to gobble them up in the kitchen.

How did Jing Yu know that before Xu Ruyi left, she told these cooks that the son-in-law is a greedy one, and whoever cooked the dishes made him happy, and his salary for the month would be doubled!
So, Jing Yu ate in the kitchen and almost forgot about Xu Ruyi's visit to the Hou Mansion.

It wasn't until the last roast duck was left in the oven that he remembered that it was specially reserved for Xu Ruyi.

It's too dishonest to eat Hesse in the kitchen without giving her a share.

So for the last roast duck, Jing Yu asked the cook to put the sauce and roast duck on the plate at the same time, and he walked into the house with the plate.

Little did they know that Xu Ruyi had already returned by this time, and was taking off her makeup alone in front of the dressing table.

From a long distance, Jing Yu saw her taking off her makeup at the table with the doors and windows open, and Chao Ming and Xingtao were not by her side.

I'm afraid it's because women don't want people to get close when they remove their makeup!
So, Jing Yu stood at the same spot with the plate in his hand, and didn't rush over.

But the strange thing is——

The black cat I saw on the fence in the morning was sitting by the window, wagging its tail constantly.

Xu Ruyi wanted to chase the black cat away at first, but it wanted to stay in front of the window, so she didn't chase it away, but said to it while removing makeup in front of the window: "I moved it!" hands, so what?"
