There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 647 Wait For Me (One More)
When Li Jiaoniang blushed and rushed back to the outer room, Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Sang had already prepared dinner.

There are stewed rabbit meat, simmered duck soup with shredded winter bamboo shoots, and cabbage stalks in salt water.

The cabbage stalks are cut into thin shreds, marinated in salt water, put a small amount of oil in a hot pan and boiled for a while, then picked up, it is crisp and delicious.

There was also a plate of crispy quail eggs.

The quail eggs are boiled, wrapped in flour with various seasonings, rolled in the oil pan, and fried until crispy on the outside.

Luo Cheng was very satisfied with the dinner dishes, and nodded with a smile, "Ms. Sang's cooking skills have improved again."

Mrs. Sang said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wrong. For today's dinner, only one plate of cabbage stems was fried by me, and the rest were made by the eldest lady."

Li Jiaoniang washed her hands, looked back at Luo Cheng and smiled, "I'm free in the afternoon, so I went to the kitchen."

After washing his hands, Luo Cheng sat at the table, glanced at the dishes and said, "Cabbage stems are the best."

Mrs. Sang and Mrs. Tian looked at each other, and they smiled at each other.

Well, the two had a quarrel today.

You fought in the house for a few rounds just now, haven't you let your anger go?

Li Jiaoniang didn't perform well today, she didn't coax Luo Cheng well.

Mrs. Sang and Mrs. Tian smiled and put away the tray, and went outside.

There were only Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang in the room, and the two of them could eat and talk more casually.

While ladling soup and vegetables for Li Jiaoniang, Luo Cheng said, "Why are those four people left behind? There are not many houses in the village."

The implication is that there are four more people and it seems crowded, so Li Jiaoniang asked Li Jiaoniang to drive them away.

When he was in the bedroom just now, he wanted to ask her.

However, Li Jiaoniang made a rule that quarreling is not allowed in intimate places in the bedroom.If he talked about those four people, Li Jiaoniang would definitely object.

The two will inevitably not quarrel.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Isn't that small courtyard always empty? Where can't it be crowded?"

Luo Cheng, "..." Why did this woman suddenly become stupid?He sneered and said, "I don't support idlers."

"I don't want to support idlers either, but isn't this a reward from above? Can we not accept it?" Li Jiaoniang raised her eyebrows.

Luo Cheng sneered, "They have lived a quiet life for a long time, and they are starting to interfere with others again?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Luo Cheng, don't worry, how can I raise people for nothing? I will go to them tomorrow morning and arrange things for them."

Luo Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, "What is the arrangement?"

Li Jiaoniang said, "I heard that Mrs. Wang is from Xiuzhou. Her family used to run a large embroidery shop there. She has lived in the embroidery shop since she was a child and knows how to do embroidery well. I want to ask her Ask the female red for advice."

Luo Cheng was surprised, it turned out that this was her idea.

Only then did he feel relieved, "If that's the case, then stay here for now. But, you have to control them not to harass me."

Li Jiaoniang tilted her head, looked at him and smiled, "What if I can't control it?"

Luo Cheng snorted coldly, "Then I'll move out."

Li Jiaoniang was amused: "..." It's not like that, is it?
……

Gradually, the night fell.

Mrs. Wang and the three of them found Mrs. Sang and asked for some hot water. After a simple grooming, they fell asleep.

Li Peiyu couldn't sleep.

Although she also asked for hot water to wash, but she was hungry, how could she sleep?

Tossing and turning on the bed until the third watch, she still couldn't fall asleep.

She rubbed her stomach and groped out of bed, and quietly went to the outer room, where there were several bowls scattered on the table in the outer room.

There was some leftovers in the bowl. She looked into the west room and found that the room over there was very quiet and there was no sound.

Li Peiyu picked it up quickly, and drank the poor residual soup in the three bowls.

But it only moistened the mouth and throat, and the stomach was still hungry.

Li Peiyu gritted her teeth, gently pushed open the door, groped in the dark, and came towards the kitchen.

Before falling asleep, she went to ask for hot water and memorized the route to the kitchen.

When she got to the kitchen, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the kitchen window was not closed.

Overjoyed in her heart, she moved a stone and put it under the window, tied up her skirt, and climbed in by stepping on the stone.

Unexpectedly, on the ground behind the window, there is actually a water tank!
After Li Peiyu climbed down the window, she fell directly into the water tank.

On the night of the twelfth lunar month, the cold air went straight to the bones when the legs and feet touched the water.

Li Peiyu was shivering from the cold.

But at the thought of being hungry, she still endured it.

Li Peiyu crawled out of the water tank and groped around the kitchen for something to eat.

However, at this moment, footsteps came from outside the house.

Wushuang yawned and said, "Oh, I'm not full. I'll look for something to eat in the kitchen."

Li Peiyu was startled, what?
Is Li Jiaoniang's maid here?
That little bitch!
She was so frightened that she hurriedly looked for a place to hide.

But the kitchen was small, and she couldn't find a place to hide. She gritted her teeth for the last time, and got into the water tank again.

Wushuang hooked the corner of her lower lip, took the key and opened the kitchen door.

"Oh, it's pitch black, I can't see it."

Wushuang said to himself.

She took the torch and lit the candle.

"Well, it's bright now."

Wushuang rolled up her sleeves, searched here and there in the kitchen, and finally opened a cabinet and took half a roast chicken to eat.

"Remember, there's still wine here."

She poured another bowl of wine, sat alone at the table, crossed her legs, and ate roast chicken while drinking.

The aroma of wine and chicken floated into Li Peiyu's nose in the water tank, making Li Peiyu almost drooling.

She scolded Wushuang in her heart, why didn't she leave quickly?She's freezing to death, no no no, starving to death.

Wushuang ate slowly, and Li Peiyu had to wait a lot. She felt that after waiting for a year, Wushuang finally finished eating.

"I'm full, I'm going back to sleep." She hiccupped and yawned.

When he came to the door, he snorted, "There are water stains here..., what is this?"

Wushuang narrowed her eyes, staring at a vermilion silk ribbon hanging outside the water tank cover and said.

Her voice was right above the cover, and Li Peiyu, who was inside the cover, was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe out.

Wushuang sneered and lifted the cover.

Seeing the people inside, she hummed softly.

"Hey, you Peiyu, what are you doing hiding in there?"

When Li Peiyu was discovered, she stopped pretending, wiped the water off her face, and got up from the water tank trembling.

"Hey, why am I here? Where is this place? Ah, someone, come and save me, I fell into the lotus pond." Li Peiyu pretended to be confused, she must have not seen Wushuang, pretending that she was still in the palace look, calling out to serve the servants.

Wushuang folded her arms and sneered, "Okay, stop pretending, Li Peiyu! I've been following you since you walked out of the bedroom, you're cursing, cursing that Mrs. Li won't give you food, cursing You are being abused here, and when you came to the kitchen, you moved stones to step on your feet, and climbed through windows, do you dare to say that you didn't come to steal food?"

"I...I didn't..." Li Peiyu was shivering from the cold, gritting her teeth and refusing to admit it.

"Oh, well, you don't admit it, then I will report to the official, and let the prefect of Lin'an come to interrogate you." Wushuang patted her sleeves, turned around and left.

Li Peiyu panicked and pulled her, "Don't, Wushuang, don't report to the police."

Wushuang turned around, looked at her and smiled, "Why didn't you report to the police? You didn't admit it."

"Okay, okay, I admit it? I... I just came here to find water to drink, and I accidentally fell into the water tank. After you came, I was worried that you would tell you Li Jiaoniang."

"I still want to tell Li Jiaoniang, come with me!" Wushuang dragged Li Peiyu out of the water tank, and dragged her to Li Jiaoniang's residence.

Li Peiyu was so frightened that she had no choice but to beg for mercy, "Wu Shuang, Wu Shuang, you let me go, I... I'll give you money, how about it?"

Wushuang sneered, "I'm not short of money."

Li Peiyu just remembered that Wushuang is the favored girl in front of Mrs. Hengyang, she usually eats and uses the best food, how can she be short of money?
Li Peiyu gritted her teeth, and could only say, "Then tell me, what do you want me to do before you agree to let me go?"

Wushuang stopped, looked at her, rolled her eyes, "It's not impossible to let you go."

Li Peiyu heard the truth in Wushuang's words, and said pleasantly, "Then speak quickly."

Wushuang glanced at her, pointed to the big water tank in the kitchen and said, "You dirty the water in that water tank, what will Mrs. Sang cook with tomorrow? Go, clean the water tank and fill it up. If you do this, I will let you go."

Li Peiyu took a deep breath, jumped up and shouted, "What? You asked me to carry water?"

"What? Do you still think you are the empress of the palace?" Wushuang sneered, "To tell you the truth, everyone has to work in this village, otherwise there will be no food."

"I'm going to sue you in front of the officials! How dare you abuse the women of the officials!" Li Peiyu yelled angrily.

Wushuang was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile, "You tell me, I'm not afraid of you." She reached out and tapped Li Peiyu's forehead, "But now, you have to work, otherwise you won't eat tomorrow's meal. , I'll see how you enter the palace to file a complaint! Hmph!"

Saying that, Wushuang dragged Li Peiyu back, "Let's go, let's fetch water!"

Li Peiyu was so angry that she cursed in her heart, "Bitch girl, don't be arrogant, just wait for me!"

The two returned to the kitchen.

Wushuang lit the lamp and lit the stove. She found a few walnuts and watched Li Peiyu while knocking on them.

Li Peiyu couldn't steal even if she wanted to be lazy, so she had to work honestly.

Wushuang knows kung fu, but she can't beat Wushuang.

Dragging wet clothes and starving, Li Peiyu took the water tank first, then took water from the well in front of the kitchen, and picked it up bit by bit into the water tank.

Li Peiyu, who was pampered and pampered since she was a child, couldn't pick a whole bucket, so she picked a half bucket.

Wushuang didn't care.

She doesn't have to procrastinate in carrying water, what does love have to do with her?

It was not until late at night that Li Peiyu filled the water tank.

Wushuang nodded in satisfaction, "It's not too bad."

Li Peiyu was tired and hungry, and sat on the ground with her buttocks tilted, "Hey, I'm done picking up water, can I go?"

Unlucky, I didn't find anything to eat, and I even picked up water all night?
"Okay, then you go back!" Wushuang waved to her.

"You have to give me something to eat. If I starve to death, your village will be in trouble!" Li Peiyu snorted coldly.

Wushuang sneered, she really asked for it, she said she wanted to eat, why bother to suffer?
"Wait!" Wushuang brought out a bowl of pancakes from the food cabinet, "Beef pancakes are cold, you can eat them if you want them, and I'll take them back if you don't eat them. It's late at night, but there are no good ones you want to eat. "

Li Peiyu is so hungry now, and has done heavy physical work, how can he care about the cold or hot food?
Fearing that Wushuang would repent, she rushed over to snatch the bowl of pancakes in her hand, turned around and ran away.

"Bandits!" Wushuang smiled contemptuously.

Li Peiyu went back to her residence in the dark, and didn't bother to wash up. She took off her wet clothes and got under the quilt, hugged the quilt and ate two meatloaf before falling asleep comfortably.

The next day, the three of Mrs. Wang got up at dawn.

They took a look at the east room, and went straight to Li Jiaoniang's main room without calling Li Peiyu.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng had already woken up and were sitting in the main room, waiting for Lady Tian to bring breakfast.

Wushuang quickly talked about what happened last night, but Li Jiaoniang just raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

Seeing that Luo Cheng was also there, Mrs. Wang and the other three stepped forward with even more regular small steps, and bowed in a regular manner.

"Concubine, I have met Mr. Lang." He called Li Jiaoniang again, "Mother."

Luo Cheng's face was ugly and he didn't speak.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Get up, sit and talk." She pointed to the chairs on her right.

We thanked each other and sat down.

Luo Cheng looked at the account book, pretending he didn't see them coming into the house.

The three of them had already heard about Luo Cheng's temper, and knew that except for Li Jiaoniang, he didn't pay attention to other women.

They didn't care about Luo Cheng's cold temper.

If they are not hungry and have a place to live, they will be satisfied.

The three of them, some of their family members died, some scattered, they entered the palace to find someone to rely on, but they didn't expect that Empress Wu couldn't tolerate them and kicked them out of the palace.

Fortunately, Li Jiaoniang didn't treat them harshly and let them live in the village.

As for whether Luo Cheng would like to accept them as housemates, they didn't care.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Li Jiaoniang asked with a smile.

Mrs. Wang is the oldest of the three, and also the most thoughtful.

She looked at the other two and replied with a smile, "I slept well, the three of us don't choose a place."

Li Jiaoniang nodded, "That's good." As she spoke, the smile on her face gradually faded, and she sighed slightly, and said, "You have been living in the palace, and the situation in our Liuyue Garden may not be good. Clearly, while everyone is here and I am free, I will talk about the rules here."

When the rules were mentioned, the three of them immediately sat upright and looked at Li Jiaoniang seriously.

"Ma'am, please tell me."

Li Jiaoniang said, "Although Mr. Lang was recognized by the officials, he didn't get a penny of salary, that is to say, we don't have money to support idlers."

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Qiu looked at each other at Mrs. Wang, and looked at Li Jiaoniang suspiciously together.

Madam Wang said, "Is the eldest lady going to drive us away? But the empress dowager arranged for us to be sent to the manor. If the eldest lady sends us away, the eldest lady and the gentleman may be punished by the officials."

Li Jiaoniang already knew their backgrounds, and when they said this, she immediately understood what they were thinking.

These words sound superficially, they are for Li Jiaoniang's sake, but they actually mean that they don't want to leave.

Li Jiaoniang sighed slightly, "Thank you ladies for reminding me, but our village is really too poor, and the future of sitting and eating will be nothing but a family. The people in the village don't want to live like that, everyone is doing things. You understand me the meaning of?"
