peasant girl wedding

Chapter 255
It is no accident that the old lady behaved like this.

Back then, she witnessed with her own eyes a woman who took the initiative to take on herself a mistake that she should not have taken on in the first place.

If the old lady told Tong Zhi'er about this, she would probably say two words: Our Lady!

"Grandmother, I'm fine..." Tong Zhi'er smiled and shook her head, "It's my granddaughter-in-law who is not good, so my grandmother is worried."

The old lady was getting old, and Tong Zhi'er didn't want to disturb her too much time, so she went back to her yard after talking for a while.

After she left, the old lady had someone call Ji Li over.

.........

A rumor about the princess of Anping quickly spread among the people.

"Do you know who has been targeting Mrs. Ji?"

"It's the princess Anping who was rejected by General Ji."

"Is she a princess after all? Such a narrow mind!"

"It's just that a gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and she's just a princess, and she's educated, tsk tsk..."

"What princess? Use some dirty tricks, you won't be able to get on the stage!"

"........."

In just one afternoon, such rumors spread in various circles in the capital.

Today, Princess Anping has a banquet.

She tidied up and went there with enough energy. Along the way, she saw many en whispers, and she didn't know what to say.

"Go and find out."

Princess Anping gave instructions to the girl, and he chose a seat to sit down, and greeted the others with a smile.

After a while, the girl came over with a pale face and whispered in the ear of Princess Anping.

Princess Anping's complexion changed abruptly, but he soon regained his composure, saying that he was not feeling well, and left quickly.

"Asshole! Who is talking about this princess behind her back?"

Everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to face the anger of Princess Anping.

"Trash, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and inquire!"

Princess Anping shouted.

The crowd dispersed, but they did not find out who dispersed.

No one could be found, Princess Anping blamed Tong Zhi'er for this matter, and hated her even more.

Tong Zhi'er didn't know about Princess Anping's hatred, nor did she want to know.

She played very well in the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.

Appreciating plum blossoms, making tea, playing cards, and checking accounts, the days passed leisurely.

spring is coming.

This is a season of vitality.

After a winter of precipitation, the buds break out of the ground, and with the warmer and warmer sunshine in spring, they become greener day by day.

On a windy afternoon, the eldest princess sent Tong Zhi'er an invitation.

The invitation is five days later, inviting Tong Zhi'er for an outing to enjoy the spring scenery.

Tong Zhier replied happily, saying that she would definitely go.

Tong Zhi'er has a good impression of the eldest princess, and she is willing and fond of being able to make friends with such a character.

Ji Li has been very busy recently.

The emperor assigned him a new task, not only to do a good job in the Nine City Division, but also to train soldiers to deal with emergency situations.

Tong Zhi'er hasn't been able to see him during the day for several months.

If it wasn't for the night, Ji Li would hug her to sleep when he came back, and the bed sheets would roll every now and then, this life would be no different from before getting married.

The eldest lady gradually handed over the affairs of the mansion to her.

Tong Zhi'er didn't make any changes, and came according to the original arrangement of the eldest lady.

However, she changed the reward and punishment system.

For example, purchasing, this was originally a very good job in the mansion, and the person in charge of purchasing could get a lot of kickbacks openly and secretly. Therefore, in the past, this was a matter that everyone envied and envied.

However, after Tong Zhi'er arranged for three people to buy, and the three belonged to different people, the old lady, the eldest lady and the second lady, the shopping work was not easy.

No one dared to take kickbacks in private, for fear that the other two would report.

Another one is about the arrangement of the girls and servants in Fuzhong.

In the past, for the position of the first-class girl next to the master, the big guys often pinched and plotted against each other openly and secretly.

why?
It's not that the first-class girl does less work, takes more money, and dresses decently.

However, as Tong Zhier said, different girls who do more work, work hard, and do well can not only increase the monthly salary, but also get a certain amount of rewards every quarter.

In addition, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, every season, you can get two new clothes.

In previous years, their arrival in one year was nothing more than two pieces of clothes.

With Tong Zhi'er's arrangement, they can have eight pieces of clothes a year.

At that time, not only can I wear it myself, but I can also take it back and give it to my younger brothers and sisters at home.

With such a system, everyone in the Duke's Mansion, from the girls to the servants, will work hard.

Don't put your mind on pinching and framing each other.

For such a change, the old lady and the eldest lady are naturally very happy.

The second lady was a little unhappy.

With her son not around, after falling out with those hypocritical little friends, her biggest hobby is playing cards and watching girls and boys pinching each other.

Tong Zhi'er's reward and punishment system is gone, good guy, the Second Madam's fun of watching people pinch each other is gone.

Although this poker is also a fun game.

However, I can't stand playing poker every day.

It's like drinking porridge one day is very pleasant, and it's nothing for a month, but drinking porridge every month is unbearable.

Tong Zhi'er would often walk around the various yards in the mansion, and the second madam's mood naturally couldn't be hidden from her eyes.

After asking, Tong Zhi'er was dumbfounded.

The second lady's hobbies are really... extraordinary!
She is so anxious because she has nothing to do.

Tong Zhi'er came up with an idea and said, "Er Niang, if you are interested, how about we open a restaurant together?"

The second lady's eyes lit up instantly.

She immediately ran into the house and opened a box.

The banknotes, precious jewelry and gold in the box dazzled Tong Zhi'er's eyes.

Seeing her surprised appearance, the second lady said proudly: "These are my son's filial piety to me, come here, how much money does it cost to open a restaurant, just tell me!"

"Er Niang, we need to plan carefully for this. First we need to set up the restaurant, then we need to find a cook and staff, then we need to decorate it, and finally we need to open it."

"Then let's go to Pan Restaurant!"

As the second lady spoke, she pulled Tong Zhi'er outside.

Tong Zhi'er stopped her and said: "Er Niang, we still have to leave the restaurant business to the steward to inquire about it first, otherwise, depending on us, we may return without success."

The second lady felt that this was very reasonable, she dragged Tong Zhi'er back into the house.

If the first step is not carried out, the second step cannot be carried out.

However, Tong Zhier talked about the menu and the special dishes of the restaurant they were going to open.

Tong Zhi'er asked the second wife which dishes are generally sold in restaurants in the capital.

After hearing this, Tong Zhi'er was secretly relieved, some famous dishes of later generations were not sold in these restaurants.

At that moment, Tong Zhi'er decided to go back and think about it carefully, and came up with a menu.

The matter of the housekeeper's inquiry soon became clear.

"Second madam, young madam, the owner of Yipinju in the west of the city wants to sell the restaurant."

"Yipinju? Yipinju's business is so hot, how can his boss change hands?"

The second lady frowned and asked.

"Reporting to Second Madam, the owner of Yipinju is not from the capital city. His ancestral home is Jiangxi, and he intends to return to his hometown to take care of himself."

The second lady nodded, and said to Tong Zhi'er: "This is a first-class residence, the location is good, and there are many guests, we must make it available."

But Tong Zhi'er was a little distressed, "Er Niang, since this Yipinju is so good, the owner of Yipinju must definitely ask for a lot of money!"

"Young Madam, I forgot to mention it just now. The owner of Yipinju said that Yipinju is the greatest achievement in his life. He said that if someone can make a new dish that he agrees with, and he will continue to use Yipinju after serving the restaurant. He will sell Yipinju at twice the price of ordinary restaurants."

"Only twice? That's a great thing."

Tong Zhi'er thought about it and agreed.

However, making a new dish recognized by Yipinju's owner made Tong Zhi'er worry.

Her cooking skills are really bad.

If Fang Ruyan was here, there would be no problem.

With Yan'er's talent and craftsmanship, she can definitely win Yipinju's owner.

But now...

Ugh!
Tong Zhi'er sighed, she had to find the cook first.

Putting the matter of the restaurant aside for the time being, Tong Zhi'er cheered up and prepared for the outing activities invited by the eldest princess in the future.

The location of the outing is at the foot of Hanshan Temple, a very open grassland about twenty miles away.

Tong Zhi'er fell in love with this place after getting off the carriage.

Surrounded by forests, green grass under your feet, and the warm spring wind gently blowing on your face makes you feel comfortable.

"Zhier..."

Tong Zhi'er raised his head and blessed the visitor, "His Royal Highness."

"Okay, okay, don't be too polite, today is not only a good day for outing, but also a good day for kite flying."

The eldest princess smiled.

Tong Zhi'er was a little distressed, "Ah, but the eldest princess, my wife, my wife didn't bring a kite."

Her straightforward temperament made the eldest princess feel happy, "It's all right, I've brought two kites here, I'll just give you one."

"Thank you, princess."

"Come on, let me introduce you to some ladies..."

After the eldest princess took Tong Zhi'er to meet several Mrs. Hou Ye, she took the kite given by the eldest princess and flew it.

Speaking of which, this is Tong Zhi'er's first time flying a kite in this world.

Xiao Tao held the kite, she held the string, and the two ran quickly.

"Little Tao, let it go."

"Yes, young lady."

Little Tao let go, and Tong Zhi'er continued to run forward, letting go of the line while running, and after a while the kite was chosen high in the sky.

"Zhi'er is not only eloquent, she even flies kites so well!"

The eldest princess praised.

After hearing this, the people around were both envious and jealous of Tong Zhi'er.

As a peasant girl, her luck is really good. Not only did she marry General Ji as his wife, but now she is also appreciated by the eldest princess!
