happy event

Chapter 115 Who in the palace dares to bully her?

There are two doors and two windows in this kitchen, and a small door is separated in the middle, which is usually bolted and only opened when meals are served to pass meals.Wen Niang filled out the stew from the big pot, and then picked up half a pot of pancakes, and when she opened the small door, Fu Zi was already waiting outside with a smile on her face, "Auntie, I'm hungry, what can I do today?" food?"

Wen Niang quickly glanced at the master who was focused on frying meatballs in the distance, and said in a low voice, "The master is here, don't be rude! Go and call those children to come over for dinner together. After eating, put the dishes and chopsticks away. I will collect them later. "

Fuzi smiled honestly, quickly took the pancakes and vegetable bowls and closed the door.

Wen Niang simply tidied up the stove, seeing that the meatballs in the small pot were floating, she quickly found a deep dish to hold it.Dong Rong glanced at her approvingly, carefully filled out the meatballs, and said, "Don't skip the food in the front yard. When these children are growing up, try to let them eat as much as possible."

"Yes, ma'am." Wen Niang responded respectfully, and finally said something more rare, "Madam is kind-hearted, they are really happy to come to our house."

Dong Rong couldn't help laughing, Wen Niang has always been reticent, it is not easy to be praised by her.

The master and servant were busy for a while, and the sweet and sour short ribs, braised pork, mapo tofu, vegetarian fried shredded potatoes, and a soup with meatballs and mushrooms were ready.

Dong Rong took off her apron, and after careful consideration, she finally ordered Wen Niang, "In addition, take some sweet and sour short ribs and braised pork on a plate and send it to Guanshi Zhang, as well as a bowl of meatball soup."

A look of doubt flashed in Wen Niang's eyes, but her subordinates swiftly followed the master's orders.

Guanshi Zhang has been fidgeting since he smelled the fragrance wafting from the inner courtyard. After finally waiting for Fuzi to call for dinner, he hurriedly washed his face and hands and changed into a set of clean clothes, just waiting to enter the inner courtyard to invite him to dinner.Needless to say, the mistress's craftsmanship is complete in color and fragrance, but what he is looking forward to more is another "beauty".

It's a pity that perhaps his expectations were too ardent, and disappointment naturally followed.When he saw Wen Niang put the vegetable bowl on the table, he could only express his thanks with a stiff face, and finally let out his anger and poked the braised pork in the bowl full of holes.Fuzi and a dozen boys were so greedy that they were drooling, but they still kept the rules and ate pancakes silently.

Manager Zhang sighed, pushed away the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Don't be ashamed, wipe off all the drool! The master is kind, as long as you work hard, you will get tired of eating meat. I'll go for a walk , share these dishes with you.”

After speaking, he opened the door and walked out.A group of teenagers looked at each other with some doubts, but in the next moment they rushed over, chopsticks rained down, and quickly snatched up all the good food and soup.

In the hall of the main room in the inner courtyard, Dong Rong and his younger brother sat around the table with their younger siblings. The whole family was eating, drinking, talking and laughing happily.Xizi took a small bowl and sat at the door while looking eagerly at the big bowl of meat on the table while sipping the rice. Dong Ping saw it amused, so he called him up and filled him with a large spoonful of braised pork. Xizi laughed so hard The eyes are all squinted in one place.

Dong Rong smiled and said, "This child, if outsiders see him, they will think you are hungry for him."

Dong Ping was also helpless, and replied, "Maybe he is going to grow taller, and he has eaten more than me recently." Finally, remembering that there was one person missing at the table, he asked, "Has Uncle Zhang gone out for errands?"

Dong Rong pouted at Second Sister Cao who was gnawing on the ribs, then smiled and shook her head.Dong Ping understood, knowing that his sister wanted to establish the rules inside and outside the family, so he hurriedly talked about interesting things about the academy to divert the conversation.

Silly Zhu raised his head and glanced at the siblings, and when he lowered his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.His little daughter-in-law finally looks like the mistress of the family. If she enters the palace in the future, she will not be bullied.But if she relied more on her, she would have more confidence...

After dinner, Dong Ping clamored to go out for a walk. Dong Rong picked up some fruits and a plate of snacks on a whim, and took her younger siblings to the nearest grass pavilion to sit and enjoy the scenery.But Sha Zhu said that he was going to visit Mr. Feng, Dong Rong was not worried seeing that it was only noon, and just told him to go early and return early.Silly Zhu agreed with a smile, and sent them all the way to the Caoting before turning back down the mountain.

Guanshi Zhang just came back from the outside, his eyes lit up when he saw the master's family going out, and he quickly called the youngsters to follow him to serve the master.So, a family of three sat in the small grass pavilion, but there were two long rows of servants standing outside to serve them.Steward Zhang's scolding came from time to time, "Zhang Jiang, bow your head! It's best not to poke your head around when serving guests. If you do it again, you'll be hungry at night!"

Second Sister Cao probably felt it was a novelty, her little head lay on the railing beside the pavilion, watching with great interest Zhang Guanshi teaching the boys.As a result, Guanshi Zhang was provoked as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, his back was straightened, and his voice was raised. It's just pitiful for those teenagers to stand with stiff legs and sore necks.

Dong Rong's sister and brother didn't notice Zhang Guanshi's strange words and deeds. Dong Rong peeled a red apple and gave half of it to his younger brother, and then cut the smaller half into pieces and fed them to lazy Guoguo.Guoguo squatted in the middle of the stone table, biting the fruit with her small mouth, squinting her small eyes happily, it was extremely interesting.

Dong Ping saw it interestingly, so he handed over the fruit in his hand, but Guoguo was not rare, and Dong Ping was so angry that he yelled, "You little thing, how dare you look down on the dignified scholar!"

Dong Rong laughed and said proudly, "My Guoguo is a hero who defies power."

The siblings chatted a little, and Dong Ping asked about the refugees, "Sister, have all those hooligans returned to their hometowns?"

"I'm back." Dong Rong nodded, "Manager Zhang has found them a companion in the motorcade going south, and the family has prepared dry food, and they all have some money with them, so they can have enough food and clothing for a few months when they return home."

"That's good." Dong Ping let out a long sigh of relief, and whispered, "I've been dreaming these past few months, dreaming that there are many dead people stepping on my feet, but holding a pile of gold ingots in my hand..."

"Don't think about it." Dong Rong patted his younger brother and smiled, "Even if Xiangrui Guozi borrowed the power of natural disasters to earn a lot of money for the family, but the four southern states were exempted from food taxes, and we helped hundreds of refugees. I did my best. Although everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, we are just a small villager, and we can sleep peacefully every night if we are worthy of our conscience."

Dong Ping thought about it for the same reason, so the wrinkles between his brows and eyes completely relaxed.Seeing this, Dong Rong said again, "After a while, when the peach blossoms at home are in bloom, remember to post a post to invite the teachers and students of the academy to come and have a day of fun. If the teachers are happy, send some calligraphy or pick up a piece for the pavilion. A more elegant name would be better."

"Really?" Dong Ping was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "My friends heard that our family has an orchard, and they always nagged that they wanted to come and play. This time they will be happy." After speaking, he remembered another thing Glancing around again, he lowered his voice and said, "If the gentlemen know that the auspicious fruits come from our orchard..."

"Don't worry, you can just invite me, and my sister will take care of the rest, so that you won't be blamed by your husband."

Dong Ping took the reassurance pill given by his sister and went to worry about it. Thinking of how happy his classmates and friends were when they heard about this, he wished he could run back to the academy right away.

Not to mention the jokes between the Dong family siblings, Murong Huaide is sitting cross-legged in front of the window and playing chess with Mr. Feng. Mr. Feng has been raised for a winter, his face is much rosier than before, and he laughs loudly from time to time, looking like Full of spirit.

Murong Huaide was very happy in his heart, he lost one or two pieces in every game, which really made the old man even more happy.Once the three games were over, Qingfeng hurried forward to quickly put away the chessboard, and then brought a pot of tea.

Mr. Feng poured two cups with his own hands, pushed one cup to his disciples and took one by himself, and persuaded with a smile, "Have a cup of tea, the account books at Xiaoyi Garden have been collected, and the cost is not small, you can take a look at it later." .”

Murong Huaide took the tea bowl and rubbed it in his hand for a long while, but he never handed it to his mouth.Mr. Feng also sensed that there was something strange about his disciple, and the smile slowly faded from his face.

Qingfeng shrank her neck and carefully glanced at the two masters, not daring to take a breath.

After what seemed like a lifetime, Murong Huaide finally took a sip of tea slowly.Qingfeng let out a long sigh of relief, and just about to pat his chest secretly, he heard the master say indifferently, "Sir, it's time to treat guests with a different kind of tea, Mrs. Dong... It's time to have a baby too."

Qingfeng's face turned pale in an instant, and he knelt down with a "plop".

Mr. Feng's arms stiffened for a moment, and at last he sighed softly, "Let's go down the breeze, remember to bring a new pot of tea later."

"Yes, sir." Qingfeng ran out almost scrambling, and closed the door carefully.In the end, he wiped the cold sweat off his head with all his strength, and said angrily and puzzled, "How did you know that Mr. moved his hands and feet in the tea, could it be that brat Jia Yi found out?"

After Qingfeng went out, Mr. Feng didn't speak for a long time.Murong Huaide didn't urge him either, and tapped his fingertips on the table, seemingly unintentionally and seemingly intentionally, it was actually a tune of ambush from all sides.

Mr. Feng couldn't stand it any longer, and said in a low voice, "Have you ever thought about what to do if your mother and concubine don't like Mrs. Dong?"

Murong Huaide raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Dong is living with me, so it doesn't matter if she likes it or not?"

Mr. Feng was choked up, but he still didn't curse, and continued to persuade patiently, "After all, she is your mother and concubine. Although she is greedy for power, she still puts you first in her heart. Your wife is the future of the entire palace. The hostess is also a first-rank wife, Dong is kind-hearted and shrewd, she is a rare good woman. But sitting on the position of princess, I am afraid that there are still some shortcomings."

"If the entire palace belongs to me, then the woman I like is the mistress of the palace. Who would dare to talk about whether she is competent or not? If that person puts the palace under my name, but still wants to control the palace, hmph, I can't help it." I don't like being a puppet. It's okay for me and Mrs. Dong to be carefree in the mountains!"

"You kid..." Old Master Feng rubbed his temples angrily, and said angrily, "She is your mother, how can you disregard filial piety for a woman?"
