Chapter 11 They actually had a quarrel?
While Su Xuanming was spending high-quality food at the tea shop, Gu Nanxi was not idle either.
“This egg custard is not as fresh and delicious as usual.” Gu Nanxi frowned as she scooped a spoonful of crab roe and egg custard.
Lu Mei looked around and saw that the servants were far away, and then whispered in Gu Nanxi's ear: "Master, I went to the big kitchen to see that the dishes were not fresh. . ”
Food is the most important thing for the people. One of the important criteria for judging whether the quality of life is high or not is food!
"What a new method?" Gu Nanxi asked with concern.
“The leaves of the cabbage are full of insect eyes, the dried fruits are old dried fruits, the eggs smell strange, and even the crabs are dead!”
Gu Nanxi It's numb, there's no delicious food, and if you lead a shabby life, you'll lose most of the joy of life.
"Why is this happening? The servants in the house are so arrogant?"
Gu Nanxi frowned. They were usually greedy, but now they dared to eat rotten leaves for their master. ?
Lu Mei looked solemn, shook her head and said: "I have gone to the housekeeper to inquire about it. Originally, there are merchants in the house who have cooperated with me for many years for this purchase. Although the price is a bit expensive, the quality is guaranteed."
"No, a few days ago Li Jingjing said that she would be responsible for the expenses, so the shopping fell on her father and brother. "
Gu Nanxi realized that it was better to buy things with other people's money than with her own money. , is that a thing?
The Li family does not have a strong financial background. If they want to supply the huge Hou Mansion, they will of course have to withhold money.
But, understanding is understanding, Gu Nanxi doesn’t want to eat rotten leaves.
Gu Nanxi motioned Lu Mei to go to the money box and took out a bunch of copper coins: "Go find some idle men and buy some food while the night market is still open."
Lu Mei responded. go.
The commercial economy of the current dynasty was relatively developed, and there were dedicated idlers responsible for delivering food.
Lu Mei thought about it, during this period, Mrs. Hou’s appetite was much greater than before, so she ordered a lot of meals: "The bad crabs from Qiaodongzi, the spicy canned lungs from the night market, Ketou fine powder, ginger shrimp, and the suet chive cake from Dingfenglou..."
The list was too big for the idle man to eat by himself, so he called a few more idle men and dispersed buy.
When these delicacies arrived in Gu Nanxi's hands, they were still warm.
“It’s great to have money.” Gu Nanxi took a bite of spicy canned lung.
Because chili peppers have not yet become popular on a large scale, the spicy canned lung uses garlic and the like to make it spicy, giving it a unique flavor.
As soon as Gu Nanxi took a bite, she saw Su Yunyan burst in crying.
Gu Nanxi didn’t blame the gatekeeper for not doing his duty. After all, with this girl’s strange strength, who would dare to stop her?
"Auntie, I can't live this life. In a bowl of papaya stewed with bird's nest, they actually used crushed bird's nest!" The more Su Yunyan cried, the more she felt that her life was miserable.
Before he was born, his biological father went to the border gate. He stayed there for more than ten years and never came back once.
The eldest brother is loved by his grandmother, while the second brother is in poor health due to premature birth and has always been grandma's eyeball.
I am the only one who is not loved by my father and my mother. Now, when I eat a bowl of bird's nest, I still use the crumbs!
"I went to Jing Niang's father to question her. What do you think he said? He actually said that whole bird's nests and broken bird's nests are not both bird's nests? They are all eating swallow's saliva anyway. What's the difference?"
Su Yunyan cried so hard that she was out of breath.
Gu Nanxi felt that what Jingniang and her father said made sense, but unfortunately, this was unacceptable to a delicate girl who grew up in a wealthy family.
No one is right or wrong, it is just a matter of different consumption concepts. Before Gu Nanxi could figure out how to comfort this little girl, she saw a little maid at the door, cooing at Lu Mei.
Then, Lu Mei ran over with bright eyes and a red face.
"Master, Li Jingjing and Dalang got into a fight!"
"Where are they? Let's take a look!" Su Yunyan stopped crying for a moment, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and wanted to run out immediately.
Gu Nanxi, who happened to have read all the story books, also decided to go together.
Lu Mei was embarrassed: "But, Master, you are still grounded."
Gu Nanxi nodded her forehead: "It's hard to think about it. Go and call some tall boys. , carrying the bamboo chair out. I lay on the bamboo chair without even touching the ground, so it certainly didn’t violate the ban.”
Foot ban, foot ban, what is foot ban?
Only the feet are prohibited, not other parts!
"Master! So this is what grounding means!" Su Yunyan felt that her trip was not in vain and she learned something again!
Gu Nanxi and her mother were afraid of missing the excitement, so they went straight to the place of the quarrel without dressing up.
In the back garden of Yongchang Hou Mansion, a pretty woman pinched the waist and scolded the taller man until his head almost dropped to his chest.
Gu Nanxi motioned Lu Mei to go forward: "Go to the stone mountain. It's too far here to hear clearly."
The boys were huffing and puffing from exhaustion, but the thought of being able to see Li Jingjing The joke made me feel full of energy.
"Hey, second brother, why are you here?" Gu Nanxi looked down from a high position and suddenly saw Su Yunting sneaking behind the stone mountain.
Su Yunting was startled. When he turned around, he saw that it was his mother and sister. He breathed a sigh of relief and motioned to them to keep their voices down: "It's so noisy, don't disturb them."
Su Yunyan lowered her voice and said: "Didn't you say that you were so angry that you couldn't get out of bed? How come you still have the energy to come here?"
Su Yunting chuckled: "This one is more effective than a century-old ginseng. It's just that the eldest brother is a bit unsatisfied. If it were me, I would have to push back."
"You should be less angry, second sister-in-law, in the future. With your body and bones, any woman could slap you away." Su Yunyan was really worried for her second brother.
Su Yunting: "Shut up and watch the show."
It was getting late, and the mother and son were hiding behind the stone mountain, not even daring to breathe.
Not far away, Jing Niang's scolding voice could be heard clearly: "Su Lang, you still blame me? Do you know that my Li family's wealth has almost been wiped out just to be with you."
Jing Niang wiped her tears: "Other nobles don't like me and boycott my business. Have I complained to you about these difficulties?"
"The little people in the house don't obey me, but they look respectful on their faces. Respect, I still feel in my heart I don’t know how to arrange it for me.”
“I thought you were considerate and understanding of me. But what did you do! You spent a hundred taels on a trip to the teahouse! Tea is made of silver? Is the tea made of gold? "
Su Xuanming was weak and begged: "Jing Niang, please help me this time. I have already written the IOU. They came to the door to demand payment. "Identity."
Jing Niang was furious: "Identity, identity, what is your identity? You are just the eldest son of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. How can you get it if you haven't even obtained the title of heir apparent?"
Su Xuanming looked very embarrassed, but still couldn't bear to get angry at Jingniang. He only suggested in a low voice: "Jingniang, how about you return the housekeeping rights to Aniang? As long as Aniang is here, I can pay back the money in a month." End.”
