Chapter 137
The sky is getting cooler, and the weather in Guangzhou is not particularly cold. Zong Ruchun looked at the pair of shoes in front of her. They were silver-blue satin, with a tall shaft and fluffy inside. She tried them on. Suddenly, the shoe shaft actually put her entire calf inside.
Zong Ruchun asked in surprise, "Why is the shoe barrel so high?"
"I often hear old people say, 'The cold starts from the feet,' I thought, the weather in Guangzhou is said to be cold, not too cold, but it can't be underestimated. If the feet are warmed up, we will Even if I still wear unlined clothes, I am not afraid of the cold, and I use the lightest material for the shoe shaft, and it is as soft as if I have not worn it on my legs. Although the shoes look big, my sister stood up and tried it. But it’s very light.”
Zong Ruchun really tried to walk a few steps according to her words, and it turned out to be a bit lighter than the shoes she usually wears, and the shoe shafts are just like what Rong Lanxue said, soft and comfortable, as if light and nothing, a warmth But the idea came from below, and she couldn't help admiring: "Sister Lan is really a good craftsman, this kind of thinking is really unmatched by anyone."
Rong Lanxue smiled and said, "Sister, do you like it?"
"I like it, I like it." Zong Ruchun nodded and said, "It's light, comfortable, and fits very well. I'm most afraid of wearing those restrictive shoes, which are painful and swollen every day. Sometimes, I I really envy Xue'er for your lack of bag."
"Hehe, my mother has complained to me many times just because of the natural foot. These shoes are specially made according to my sister's size. I also specially made the upper higher and wider. There are some small shoes inside. Sister, did you see the design, the inside is loose, and the outside is pleated, so that, looking beautiful, the inside is spacious after all."
Zong Ruchun said gratefully: "Xue'er took care."
"Sister, don't say such polite words, we are a family." Rong Lanxue smiled, took Zong Ruchun's hand to the outside room, Lianxiang had already fetched warm water, they washed it with water, and sat at the dining table .
Today's meal is particularly rich and big, two people, full of dishes.Oily and green vegetables are what Rong Lanxue must eat every day. There is a bowl of fresh fish soup on the table. Lianxiang hurriedly made a bowl of soup for Zong Ruchun. In front of Ruchun, Zong Ruchun smelled a burst of fragrance before drinking it, and couldn't help but praise: "This soup is so fresh."
"This is the new cook's specialty soup, sister, try it." Rong Lanxue persuaded after taking a sip by herself.
After taking a bite, Zong Ruchun nodded again and again, "Well, it's much better than Cook Liu, that old bastard really doesn't know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people beyond people, Xue'er is soft-hearted, and she just followed me and kicked him out. "It turns out that Peach Blossom just leaned into Zong Ruchun's ear, and she told her the evil deeds of Liu Chef. When cooking, he thought he was an old man in the house, and he messed up the oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and said The young mistress is a country person, so she can't taste it.
Rong Lanxue gently picked up a piece of tofu and put it on Zong Ruchun's plate, and said with a smile: "Sister, let's stop talking about the delicious food. Sister, try this tofu. It's very hot. Sister, be careful." .”
Zong Ruchun took a bite and savored carefully: "I never liked tofu, I always thought it was tasteless. I ate it today, it was fresh, soft and tasty. This is where Xueer found the cook. what?"
"Hehe, speaking of it, my sister may know me." Rong Lanxue put another piece of fish in front of Zong Ruchun, and said softly: "This mother Qin who was in charge of the back garden, I watched her clean up, and asked her if she would I can do some small things, and I thought about letting her do odd jobs in the kitchen, but I didn't expect her skills to be really good."
Zong Ruchun sighed and said: "Oh, Mama Qin, I also know that she managed the back garden of a very neat person in the past. "
Rong Lanxue smiled slightly, and Zong Ruchun asked as if remembering something: "Who is managing the back garden now?"
"After Qin's mother entered the kitchen, it was Uncle Zhao. Later, Uncle Zhao left and Aunt Li took care of it." Rong Lanxue said calmly, picked up the bowl, and drank the soup.
Zong Ruchun frowned immediately, and just about to ask a question, Lianxiang persuaded: "Miss, don't think about these things any more, please have dinner first, the food is cold, and it makes my stomach feel uncomfortable."
Zong Ruchun pushed the bowl, and said angrily: "Xue'er, I don't have any objection to you transferring Mother Qin to the kitchen, but Uncle Zhao is also the gatekeeper of our mansion for a long time, why do you let him manage the back garden again. Uncle Zhao is gone, you should choose another young person, Aunt Li did a good job in my room, why did you get it there again?"
Rong Lanxue put down the bowl aggrieved, and said that before she said anything, the circles of her eyes turned red. Yupan was impatient, and couldn't see Miss's grievances, so she immediately took a step forward and said loudly: "Miss, these things are not our family. The young lady did it, it was Yang's mother who did it, and our young lady didn't even know about it."
"Oh?" Zong Ruchun glanced at the jade plate and asked in surprise: "You are the mistress of the Zongfu, how come you don't know these things?"
"Miss, Young Master Zong was injured a while ago. Our eldest miss is devoted to taking care of Young Master Zong, and has no intention of managing the affairs of the house." Lianxiang pulled a jade plate, fearing that her loud voice would upset the young lady, He replied softly.
"It's mine, no, I made a mistake for Sister Lan, Xue'er, don't be wronged, my sister will make it up to you." Zong Ruchun said with a smile on his face when he heard this, comforting Rong Lanxue.
Rong Lanxue wiped her eye circles, and said with a forced smile: "What did my sister say? Xue'er thought that my sister would hand over this house to me, but I didn't manage it well. It's because of my lack of ability. Where is there any grievance? Sister, come on!" Stop saying that."
Zong Ruchun raised his brows, and immediately said angrily: "This old slave is really used to bullying the master."
Rong Lanxue shook her head and said, "Forget it, don't talk about her anymore, I also know that I am young, and there are many things in the house that I don't understand. The meal is getting cold, and my sister has finished the meal, let's talk about it."
Zong Ruchun felt as if a fish bone was choked in his heart, and he couldn't eat happily. He put down his chopsticks after only a few mouthfuls, stood up, walked a few steps in the room, and ordered: "Taohua, go and tell the person who came with me. Boy, let him go back to the mansion and tell my aunt that I won't go back tonight, I have something to deal with here."
Rong Lanxue secretly smiled in her heart, but without showing any expression on her face, she buried her head in eating her own food and ordered: "You guys take it over there to eat, Lianxiang, and you go to the kitchen to pack some new food, I'm afraid Peach Blossom, Plum Blossom girls are not enough."
Zong Ruchun listened to Rong Lanxue's order, and asked in surprise: "Why don't the maids go to the kitchen to eat?"
"Master Fuzhong and I have enough food for four or five people. I thought, if you can't finish a good meal, throw it away. It's a waste, so I let the servant girl and Ji Qing finish eating here. If you don’t have enough food, go to the kitchen to get some more, so that it won’t be wasted, and it will save them from running around again, which is not good for the stomach.”
"Our clan is a big family in Guangzhou, so we still have some money." Zong Ruchun was somewhat disdainful.
Rong Lanxue didn't argue, but said softly: "My sister is a little impatient, let me do the math for her."
Lianxiang over there has already poured tea, calling Taohua and Meihua to have dinner.
Rong Lanxue took a sip of tea, and said softly, "This year's green vegetables have increased to twenty copper coins a catty, and the meat is even sixty copper coins. There are also these fish, chicken, and other vegetables, which can be bought in Fuzhong, and then bought from them." Give some rebates, send it to the kitchen, let the cook have some sweetness, add firewood, various oils, and the cook's salary, and if you cook a meal, there will be 20 taels instead of 15 taels."
Zong Ruchun heard Rong Lanxue's calculations so delicately, he couldn't help looking at her, and thought to himself, "It's not easy for this Xueer, the daughter of the Rong family, to understand the transactions in the market like this."
Rong Lanxue went on to say: "In our house, everyone has their own quotas. The young master and I must have ten dishes and one soup every day. How can the two of us finish it? Next, Mama Yang Eight dishes, one soup, six dishes for Jiqing, one soup, four dishes for Lianxiang Yupan, and one soup. In this way, the six of us will spend 100 taels of silver, and it is still a waste. Nowadays, except for Mama Yang , the dishes for the two of us, that is, Jiqing, Lianxiang, and jade plates, are still a little more than enough. Invisibly, we can save nearly 50 taels of silver. Sister, a meal is 50 taels, and a day is 100 taels. After a month, there will be a lot of money, and this money is also earned by Yunlong outside, my sister thought, why should we waste it like this?"
After listening to Rong Lanxue's words, Zong Ruchun admired and rejoiced, and said gratefully: "In the past, Yunlong said that he would marry a wife from another place, but I thought about not agreeing. After we met, I liked it from the bottom of my heart. I saw your care for Yunlong a while ago, and I was grateful in my heart. Now that I heard what you said, I would like to thank God for giving Xueer to Yunlong. The family is blessed."
Rong Lanxue blushed slightly, lowered her head, and said softly: "My sister praised me, but I'm only in the mansion, and my words don't have much weight now, most of them are still decided by Yang's mother, and it doesn't matter if I'm young. "
"Hmph, don't mention this Mama Yang again. Aunt Li in my room is so taciturn and docile, how can I offend her and let her manage the back garden?" Zong Ruchun thought of it now, Immediately became angry again.
Rong Lanxue smiled secretly: If you heard about the system set by Mama Yang, sister, I am afraid that you would not be angry, but would directly rush to Mama Yang's room to slap her.She wanted Zong Ruchun to know, but she couldn't say it from her own mouth. Then Zong Ruchun would suspect that she was suppressing the old servant. She looked at the servant girl who had finished her meal and was cleaning up.Rong Lanxue coughed lightly.
Lianxiang hurried over and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Rong Lanxue shook her head, "It's nothing, I just feel a little dry in my throat, and I always feel like coughing."
Zong Ruchun immediately said with concern: "Do you want to ask the doctor to see how long it has been like this, don't delay, and treat minor illnesses as soon as possible."
"Yes, my sister is bothering you, I will pay attention." Rong Lanxue gave Lianxiang a wink, Lianxiang immediately understood what the young lady was thinking, poured tea for the two ladies again, turned around and cleared the table. Yupan, who ran back from the kitchen, winked.
Although Yupan is stupid, she has gradually learned to observe words and expressions by following the young lady. Seeing sister Lianxiang winking at her inadvertently, she looked at the young lady, who was sipping tea from a teacup, suddenly Thinking of Aunt Li's topic just now, she immediately understood a little bit, and walked over to the young lady pretending to pour tea.
Rong Lanxue said intentionally: "Just now Lianxiang passed away, you don't need to do so anymore, you don't have any winks, and you will never learn from others. You are so stupid, you can only follow me. If you follow that powerful master, I'm really worried about you for Yupan."
