Chapter 284 The Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Trick ([-])

When Jiang spoke, Mai Xiang and Huai Ci naturally couldn't leave, and Wan Chengyao was still watching.

"Isn't there a maid? Let the maid clean up, Mai Xiang stays, and the serious cook of this family takes it to the capital. I, a mother-in-law, can't cook this dinner, right?"

Jiang raised his eyelids, said unhurriedly, and beat his shoulder while talking, complaining that he was sore after sitting in the carriage for a long time, and he needed someone to beat him hard.

The maids and mother-in-law next to her didn't step forward either, they all looked at Mai Xiang.

"Yes, yes, let Mai Xiang cook us a meal. I still remember that the meal she married was pretty good. Hurry up, I'm hungry." Wan Chengyao said before Huaici opened his mouth.

Mai Xiang patted Huai Ci's hand, telling him to be calm, it's just a meal, it won't trouble her.

"Sir, you take the red leaves and apricot leaves to clean up the house. They haven't been here before, so they can't find a place."

Huai Ci listened, thought about it, and had no choice but to do so. His small courtyard was very remote and had never been taken care of. If he didn't take someone to clean it up first, he would definitely not be able to live in it. Not to mention how dirty the house was, it was The room must have been as cold as an icehouse.

"Are you okay?" Huai Ci still felt sorry for Mai Xiang.

"Zhiyuan, since when did you look like an old woman?" Wan Chengyao couldn't see Huaici acting like a little bit low beside Mai Xiang.

Huaici didn't glance at Wan Chengyao, seeing Mai Xiang nodding, she took the two maids and left.

Then Mai Xiang said to Jiang: "Madam, I'm not familiar with the situation here, and I don't even know where the kitchen is. Please ask Madam to assign two old people to me."

Hearing this, Jiang shi showed a smug smile, pointed to the two women, and asked them to lead Mai Xiang into the kitchen.

Mai Xiang chatted with the women all the way, and gave each of the two women a piece of silver, and then got the news she wanted, and the two women also tried their best to help Mai Xiang.

Half an hour later, eight hot dishes and four cold dishes were on the table. Naturally, Mai Xiang couldn't sit down, she had to stand behind Jiang Shi to serve dishes, and Kang Yi was not there, so Jiang Shi asked Ziju to stand beside Wan Zhigao, Huaici served vegetables behind him. Of course, Huaici would not eat vegetables served by other women.

"Master, madam, after breathing in the air-conditioning for a long time, let's have a bowl of hot soup to relieve the air-conditioning. This hot and sour soup is the best to drive away the cold." Mai Xiang respectfully served Wan Chengyao and Jiang Shi alone. Bowl of hot soup.

"What soup? I don't eat spicy food, don't you know?" Jiang Shi pushed the bowl away when he heard it was hot and sour soup, and asked with a dark face.

"Madam, I'm really sorry. I really don't know about this. You know that I have not been married for a long time, and I haven't served my wife for a few meals. I just heard from the doctor that this pepper and ginger can drive away Cold, vinegar can prevent wind and cold, so I took the trouble to make this soup, and it's not too spicy." Mai Xiang humbly and carefully defended a few words.

Wan Chengyao heard that what Mai Xiang said made sense, so he quickly took a sip and said, "It's not too spicy, but the taste is okay."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to give up, but he absolutely did not drink that bowl of soup.

Seeing this, Mai Xiang hurriedly poured half a cup of egg custard with a spoon. Jiang shi just took a bite of the egg custard, then spat it out and said, "What's in the egg custard?"

"What? Eggs." Mai Xiang pretended to be confused.

After hearing this, Wan Chengyao dug a spoonful and tasted it, tasted it, and said, "It's nothing, it's normal, it's tender and smooth, and it's not bad."

"What's good, there is ginger in this egg custard, I don't eat ginger."

"This?" Mai Xiang was speechless, pretending to be innocent, and looked at Wan Chengyao.

"Forget it, don't eat this and eat something else." Wan Chengyao felt that his wife was making a big fuss, and he didn't know that she didn't eat ginger when he usually saw her eat fish.

After hearing this, Mai Xiang hurriedly picked up a piece of cumin mutton for Jiang Shi, but Jiang Shi took a bite and vomited again.

"What's wrong with you?" Even Wan Chengyao was a little annoyed.

"Why, why don't you try it?" Jiang's face darkened, she wanted to see, the old lady and the old man are not here, who can protect Mai Xiang?

Wan Chengyao, Wan Zhigao and Huai Ci took a piece of mutton at the same time and chewed.

Huaici first said: "Mother, I like to eat, but you don't like it, I ate it by myself."

After Huai Ci finished speaking, he was about to bring the plate over. Mai Xiang was made according to his preferences and taste, and also took into account Wan Chengyao's preferences, and of course, also took into account some of Jiang's "preferences".

"Leave it alone, did I say I don't want to eat it?" Wan Chengyao said after taking a sip of water.

Although this numbing and spicy taste is a bit uncomfortable, it is undeniable that it is very unique and enjoyable.

Jiang's face was livid with anger when he saw it. There were only two dishes on the table, one was tofu made by Maixiang, and the other was sauced pork brought back from the capital.

"I can't eat these things, you can make a few more." Jiang thinks that Mai Xiang did it on purpose.

"Ma'am, there are so many dishes that are not satisfactory to you, and it will still be the same. Besides, I am so hungry that I can't stand up now, and I can't guarantee that I won't faint in front of the stove. Please tell me what my wife likes to eat." .”

Wan Chengyao glanced at Mai Xiang, who was clutching his stomach, and thought that this child really didn't eat anything seriously during the past half day, which really made her fall ill. If Prince Li found out, the consequences would be , but it's a little serious.

"Forget it, let's make do with it. With such a table of dishes, is there anything you can eat?" After Wan Chengyao finished speaking, he took the initiative to ask Mai Xiang to sit down and eat.

Seeing this, Huai Ci hurriedly pulled Mai Xiang to her side, and personally served Mai Xiang a bowl of hot and sour soup. Mai Xiang drank a bowl of hot soup comfortably, and then she smiled, and said, "It's warm now." too much."

Jiang Shi was so angry that he slapped his chopsticks and said, "Mai Xiang, eat quickly, come over and beat me for me after eating."

After hearing this, Mai Xiang said: "Madam, it's okay to beat it, but I grew up doing farm work in the countryside. I'm clumsy and clumsy. I'm afraid I'll make my wife angry again. There's nothing wrong with it." On the contrary, it will cause trouble, my wife should find another smart one."

"You? I think you are really from the country. You don't understand any rules. Whose mother-in-law keeps talking back when she talks to her daughter-in-law? I slapped myself." Jiang looked at Mai Xiang contemptuously, she couldn't believe that she couldn't deal with a country girl.

Unexpectedly, Mai Xiang was not angry at all when she heard this. She picked up a piece of fragrant sauced duck, carefully gnawed all the bones of the duck, and then said slowly: "Madam, I am originally from the country. I am a little girl from the country. How can a family be so particular about it? Some food is good, how can you be picky and picky?"

"Okay, okay, aren't you tired? Let the girls help you beat it, go to bed early, and wake up early tomorrow will be a matter." Wan Chengyao smoothed things over.

He has already seen that Mai Xiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Jiang's fight with Mai Xiang will definitely not be able to please, because Mai Xiang's backstage is too hard, it really makes me anxious, Huaici doesn't do it, and takes Mai Xiang Moving out of Wanjia, no one can do anything to these two people, and Wanjia is not far from bad luck.

The smart Wan Chengyao naturally also knows that Jiang's purpose is to embarrass Mai Xiang, and wants to drive Mai Xiang and Huai Ci out of Wanjia again, not to mention that these two people will definitely share half of Wanjia's property in the future if they stay in Wanjia Let’s just say that their current annual expenses are four to five hundred taels of silver. Moreover, the old man and the old lady reward them with some good things from time to time. Can the Jiang family be willing?

Isn't today's crane cloak an example?Others don't know, but Wan Chengyao knows how narrow-minded and jealous his wife is. As long as he stays in a woman's room for one more night, Jiang will definitely find a reason to torture her severely.But she still had to pretend to be virtuous and generous in front of others. After Huaici's biological mother left, she took the initiative to find four concubines for Wan Chengyao, but there was one thing, if Wan Chengyao showed any signs of Whoever falls in love with a girl, this girl is not far from bad luck.

Wan Chengyao only discovered this later. At this time, Huaici's biological mother had already died, and he didn't bother to pursue these things. In his heart, although there was a little heartache, it was not as important as reality after all. .

The reality is that no matter what Jiang shi said, he wholeheartedly treated him well and assisted him to go up. It can be said that without Jiang shi, Wan Chengyao would not be where he is today.

The Jiang family naturally understood a little bit, so she was confident in the Wan family. If the Wan family's property was not in the hands of Wan Baocai, she would not have wronged herself to play a virtuous and virtuous character in front of the old man and the old lady for so many years.

So, seeing that her husband was not on her side, Jiang actually scolded her to go to bed earlier, how could she be willing to swallow this tone?
Wan Chengyao saw Jiang's dissatisfaction and knew that she hadn't turned this corner yet, so he couldn't help being a little annoyed. No matter how smart a woman is, she will become stupid and short-sighted when encountering money benefits.

"Zhigao, help your mother back to the house." Wan Chengyao said.

"Yes, father." Wan Zhigao stood up and walked towards Jiang's.

Although Wan Zhigao disagreed with some of his mother's actions, he knew that everything his mother did was for him.In front of him all these years, his mother has instilled this idea that he is the only legitimate son and grandson of the Wan family, and Wan Zhigao should inherit the Wan family's family business.

Wan Zhigao didn't have such big greed in the beginning. He knew that the Wan family had a lot of property. Family property, he can also live well.

Facts have proved that he was wrong. He actually lost to the stubborn younger brother in the eyes of others in the past. This was a blow to his self-confidence.

It's also no wonder that Wan Zhigao was praised too much since he was a child, and this fall was so hard. Because of this, Wan Zhigao's mentality is also changing a little bit. Seeing his younger brother's success and favor, he will become more and more lost.
