Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Zhang, then withdrew her gaze and smiled lightly at Nanny Zhu, "We came here a little late and kept my mother waiting for a long time."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old lady deliberately insulted Mr. Zhang. If she were an ordinary person, she would probably add insult to injury at this time.
Even Mrs. Zhang was well prepared and even thought about how Li would ridicule her or what she would say to refute her.
But Mrs. Li didn't. At this time, she just did her duty.
An Hongshao followed behind Li, imitating Li's example and moving forward slowly.
When entering the door, only Nanny Zhu glanced at Mrs. Zhang a few times.
I sighed slightly in my heart, no wonder people say that even if you marry a servant girl, you won't marry a girl from a small family. This is not as good as not knowing, but you can really tell the difference by comparing.
The reason why the old lady blamed Mr. Zhang was not because it was just a trivial matter, and the trouble would never end. No one likes a noisy woman.
If Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang get into an argument here at this moment, it will also disgust the old lady.
A thought flashed in Nanny Zhu's mind. If Mrs. Li had given birth to a son, the eldest son of the eldest son, An Xinyou might not have had any problems.
But then I thought about it, if Mrs. Li really gave birth to a son, he probably wouldn't be alive now. This man's destiny is up to him, good or bad, and he has no control over it.
Inside the room, the candlelight was bright, and the old lady looked festive in her tan uniform.
She saw An Hongshao waving to her, "Look at this girl, she looks like you did back then. I still remember you looked like this when you came in."
The old lady originally wanted to get close to Mr. Li, but after she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and quickly changed the subject with a smile, "Anyway, she is just beautiful. You don't know. I heard that my child was sick yesterday, which made me worried."
Li's face changed slightly. She looked down on everything else, but she was a little more stubborn about being a concubine. When someone else mentioned it, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
After seeing Li sitting in his seat, it took him a long time to calm down. He smoothed over the red color all over his body and always curled up his lips, "It's true that years have passed by. Thanks to mother's care, Hongshao girl. It’s also a blessing. Yesterday he was so injured, but now he seems to be in good spirits.”
Li Shi followed the old lady's words, which made the old lady feel a little unreasonable, and she touched the tip of her nose unnaturally.
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Ms. Li coughed twice, and then said immediately, "My daughter-in-law should not interfere with my mother's decision-making, but my sister-in-law is in charge of the family. It is not good for her to punish her in this way, and let the people below her When I saw it, I couldn’t help but feel inspired.”
An Hongshao glanced sideways at Mrs. Li, was she trying to intercede with Mrs. Zhang? But when did his mother become so kind?
An Hongshao listened calmly.
The old lady snorted without thinking, "Why, isn't this a scene you want to see?"
Aunt Zhu was watching from the side. She was afraid that the old lady would be angry when she saw her like this, and she was going to try to persuade her not to get into real work.
Li shook her head unhurriedly, "To be fair, my daughter-in-law has never thought that my younger siblings are better housekeepers than me. But my mother has already made the decision for me. If I fall on my younger siblings' faces for two days in a row, I'm afraid my head will be unstable. After all, Anjia Well, everyone can be good.”
Li said calmly, but she calmed down the old lady's anger, and sighed helplessly, "If she was half as capable as you, I would be relieved."
Li did not step on Zhang, at least she openly interceded for Zhang, but she still had the upper hand.
She is not as flattering as Mrs. Zhang, nor does she have to please the old lady like Mrs. Zhang. She can still get what she wants by just chatting peacefully.
An Hongshao just learned from the side. This is the skill of a lady.
The old lady thought for a moment and then said, "Although Hongshao girl is about to get married, she still has you, so the matters in the small kitchen should still be put on the agenda. It just so happens that these days, you will take care of the matters in the big kitchen. Waiting for the small kitchen to open, you will have an idea of what you will use."
Mrs. Zhang was disgusted by the old lady. How could Mrs. Li think that letting Mrs. Zhang blow in the cold air would be considered a punishment?
You have to be diplomatic and say something.
Now that the old lady had spoken, Mrs. Li was not polite, "My daughter-in-law will naturally do whatever mother asked." After saying that, she glanced at Aunt Zhu behind the old lady.
The old lady understood and asked Nanny Zhu to go to the big kitchen to spread the news.
The old lady personally gave the order, and even Mr. Zhang had no ability to change it. It was a certainty that the big kitchen would be handed over to Mr. Li.
After Mrs. Li finished thanking her, she immediately looked at An Hongshao, "I haven't thanked your grandmother yet. I just have time to look at the account books, and I won't know anything after marrying into the Lian family."
After Li said this, An Hongshao stood up and said, "Thank you, grandma."
"Good boy, really good boy." The old lady nodded with a smile.
"Grandma." At this moment, the door of the house was pushed open forcefully.
Cousin An Hongye and cousin An Xinyou walked in aggressively.
The first brother and sister went to a banquet in the foreign palace. I don't know what Mrs. Zhang was thinking, but she didn't want the two children to go out. It just so happened that An Hongye was not engaged, and An Xinyou was a bachelor. If the young master and the young girl fell in love with him, it would be a big deal for the Zhang family.
No, I didn't leave after attending the banquet. I stayed at someone else's house for a day and came back just before curfew yesterday.
Today the old lady asked everyone to come over for a meal. The brother and sister probably slept late and couldn't get up in the morning.
An Xinyou was still imitating others, with a flower pinned to his ear, pretending to be a pink-headed scholar, but unfortunately he didn't have any ink in his belly. The more fancy he dressed, the stronger his body smell.
On the other hand, An Hongye was well-dressed and there was nothing wrong with her.
"Grandma." An Hongye pouted aggrievedly when she walked up to him, but didn't say much.
Those eyes can hold tears in their eyes and keep them from falling.
"Grandma, what mistake did my mother make? Why is she allowed to stand outside and not let in? Who is looking for trouble all day long?" An Xinyou was born tall, but fortunately he was thin, otherwise his eyes would have been pointing. Sweeping it away always feels a bit oppressive.
"Okay, no one is looking for trouble, just let your mother in. But you, I didn't see your aunt sitting here, where are the rules you learned on weekdays?" An Xinyou is the old lady's only grandson. He walked sideways at home, and the old lady rarely scolded him in front of outsiders.
This was the first time this happened. An Hongye looked at An Hongshao as if he was poisoned.
For this cousin, they were born in the same year, so they should have a close relationship, but An Hongshao had not dealt with her since they were young.
An Hongye is sometimes bad. She is the kind of disgusting person from the bottom of her heart. Once when she was angry, she directly threw her underwear stained with sunflower water at An Hongshao. Without asking for anything else, she just wanted to break An Hongshao. Her bad luck made her unlucky for eight lifetimes.
