Young is good.In just three days, Li Haitang has been walking slowly under the support of Yang Yan's wife, which is not only thanks to Zhuge Yi's life-saving pills, but also various rare medicinal materials sent by the eight major families to nourish the body.And in order to save Haitang's life, the Li patriarch couldn't wait to send all the precious medicinal materials at the bottom of the box in his vault to the Pavilion.In just three days, the warehouse in the backyard of the Pavilion was full of medicinal materials sent by various families, and Li Haitang stood at the door and saw at a glance......
Medicine, medicine, medicine, medicine, one after another boxes with the word "medicine" sealed are piled up into small hills, and the scene is extremely spectacular."
Sister-in-law Yang, do you have any good ideas?"
Sister-in-law Yang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "The eldest girl left some useful medicinal materials, and the rest were sold to the medicine store in exchange for more affordable silver." ”"That's a good idea."
Li Haitang nodded, thought about it and vetoed: "No."
These medicinal materials are really rare, and if they are sold in a pharmacy, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the eight major families.I'll think again. ”"If the eldest girl is willing, it is better to give it to Mr.
Painter, he will always use medicine all year round."
Yang Yanchang suggested tentatively, but she was afraid of provoking Li Haitang to suspect that she was biased towards Zhuge Yi and did not take Haitang in her eyes.Li Haitang noticed the worry that flashed in Yang Yan's eyes, and patted the rough hand held in the crook of her arm, "I am a family with Master, as long as Yang Yanchang does not betray Master, I will also treat Yang Changyi as a caring person." ”"Thank you, big girl, for trusting the old slave."
Yang Yanyan bowed down gratefully, and her heart was finally peaceful.Li Haitang asked Yang to accompany her to the back kitchen to watch Chef Liu cook.She really wanted to eat big meat buns today, and she heard that she made meat buns for her younger brother Wanghu on the day her mother died, but she didn't have this kind of blessing.The kitchen yard is in the northwest corner of the backyard, a small courtyard divided separately.There is a chef Liu in the back kitchen, and two rough old women.With good cooking skills and knowing how to protect herself, Chef Liu is a maverick in the Xiqiao Pavilion.She is a person who doesn't like to deal with anyone, and she won't deliberately stammer because of anyone's deep back, and even the owner of the Pavilion, Feng Xiannu, will not take the initiative to please.No one dared to mess with her, and she was not co-opted by any clan.When she has a big temper, she can scold whoever she wants, scold whoever she wants, hit whoever she wants, and whoever dares to throw her face, she dares to chop someone's face into flowers with a big kitchen knife.In terms of willfulness, no one can fight Chef Liu; In terms of hypocrisy, everyone has to admire Chen Yannan.Chen Yan, who was rewarded with a board and locked up in the firewood room, can always make people make unexpected moves, such as now......
In the kitchen courtyard, Chen Yan's grandmother was holding a wooden stick as a crutch, and she commanded the two rough old women to chop wood and carry water, while Chef Liu sat next to the grinding plate and chewed the cabbage core, completely with the attitude of an outsider.Li Haitang let Yang Yan Yan support her, stood in a corner outside the courtyard and watched everything that was happening in the courtyard, watched how Chen Yan showed off her might, looked at Chef Liu's disdainful and mocking expression, and looked at the grievances of the two rough old women who were angry and did not dare to speak."
Sister-in-law Chen, sit down.Your old body is not yet well, don't be tired. ”An old woman took out a small stool from the warehouse where the grain was stored, ran behind Chen Yanyan, straightened the stool, and helped her sit down.Chen Yanyan nodded with satisfaction, gave the old woman a "you are very good" approving look, turned her head and still stared at the two working old women, pointing at them and scolding."
A bunch of useless stuff.Don't think that you dare to bully me because you are the old man of the Pavilion, I am the person next to Mrs.
Li Yan, and I am the most trusted by Miss Li.You want to live in peace in the Pavilion, and keep your eyes bright. ”"Yes, yes, Sister Chen is right.We still expect Sister Chen to say a few kind words in front of Miss Li. ”The flattering old woman flattered and flattered, eager to kneel down and show Chen Yanyan how sincere her smile was.The shed of the tuncai is enclosed by an orange stalk mat to protect the winter vegetables inside from frostbite.In the corner of the shed, the orange pole mat was torn open, and two old sisters-in-law came out.They stroked their round bellies with one hand, wiped the grease stains on their mouths with a handkerchief in the other, and squinted their eyes with a smile of enjoyment.The old sister-in-law in the gray cloth jacket spit out the shredded flesh stuffed between her teeth, and her fat round ass sat on the low stone table next to Mrs.
Chen, cocking Erlang's legs, and shaking her five-inch big feet.The old sister-in-law in a blue cloth jacket walked up to Chef Liu and sat down, quietly looking at the two old women who were sweating, chopping wood and carrying water in the center of the courtyard.Sister-in-law Chen squinted at the greasy old sister-in-law beside her, and said in disgust: "Mrs.
Li sent you here to let you eat and drink spicy food?"
”The old sister-in-law in the gray cloth jacket sneered and retorted: "If you don't come to eat and drink spicy food, will you be beaten and punished like you?"
”Chen Yanyan said disdainfully: "Hmph!
You are less complacent.When I am loyal to Miss Mingli and push you out one by one, are you still worried about the days when you don't have to eat and drink spicy food?
”The old sister-in-law in the gray cloth jacket grinned, and the big fat finger stained with oil stains pointed at the old woman who was chopping wood in the center of the courtyard, "You, if you don't finish cutting that pile of firewood today, don't think about taking a sip or eating a grain of rice." ”The old woman who was chopping wood thumped her sore back, looked along the point, and knelt on the ground with her legs limp.That pile of firewood is enough to burn for a whole year, how is she going to cut it?
The old sister-in-law in the blue cloth jacket smiled and said nothing, her eyes glanced inadvertently at the entrance of the courtyard, her eyes were dull, and her body stood up as if she had been burned."
Chestnut, chestnut, chestnut, chestnut girl!"
This panicked call woke everyone in the courtyard up, but Chef Liu continued to sit calmly, admiring this group of fools who appeared to be loyal and hidden.Walked in by Yang Yan's sister-in-law, Li Haitang is like eating and walking after a meal, leisurely and comfortable, as if walking in the garden.Her every move is the posture of a little girl, and she is polite and freewheeling."
Is chopping wood fun?"
Li Haitang opened her mouth and asked the old woman who was chopping wood, and her innocent and lovely appearance made people unable to warn her.The old woman who chopped wood put down her axe, lowered her head and was silent.It's not that she doesn't want to answer, but she ......
Glancing at Chen Yanyan, she lowered her head.Li Haitang didn't see it, and innocently blinked his big eyes and looked at the old woman who was carrying water, "What did you do wrong?"
When did I punish you for carrying water?
What was your original errand?
”The old woman who carried the water looked at Chen Yanchang coldly, ran to Li Haitang with the intention of fighting for life, knelt down and kowtowed and begged: "Please save your life!"
The old slave is the old slave maid of the Pavilion, who has served the refreshments of Miss Mo before.The old slave didn't make a mistake, but he didn't pay filial piety to the monthly silver this month, so he was punished to carry water. ”"Oh, there's no filial piety to the moon."
Li Haitang pretended to be abrupt, and looked at Chen Yanyu, who was cramped and panicked, and the two fat women with oily corners of their mouths.A faint smile is more beautiful than a hundred flowers blooming.With a delicate face, she spoke softly, and asked in a whispered voice: "Sister-in-law Chen, what do you think I should do with this matter?"
”Seeing that Chen Chang Yan was in a hurry to speak, he raised his hand to stop it, and advised: "Chen Yan Yan, you have to think about it before answering."
This is a good opportunity for you to show your loyalty. ”originally wanted to pick herself clean and put the mistake on the heads of two old women who didn't know each other, but Chen Yan's mind was disturbed by Li Haitang's advice, how should she choose?
It's a conundrum.() Glory to the end
