Lian'er is the maid she brought from her parents' home and has served her since childhood. Needless to say, she is sincere. But what happened now.
She suddenly thought of the strange feeling Mei Yuanqing had given her just now, and asked in a strange way, "Lian'er, how long have I been married?"
"Miss, this is your first year."
Wei Jingwei took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment.
It seems that she is really dead, so is God seeing pity on her and allowing her to be reborn? Since she can live another life, why not let her go back to before she was married.
Wei Jingwei felt hungry when she smelled the aroma of fruits and snacks on the table.
Now that this body can eat and drink, she will never seem to have treated herself harshly.
In her previous life, before she got married, the Mei family had just come to the capital from the countryside and were almost impoverished. It was because of her hard work and hard work and frugality that she was able to have a rich family fortune.
She suppressed the complicated thoughts in her heart and said, "Lian'er, tell someone to prepare the food. I want eight-treasure duck, squirrel fish, and a dish of japonica rice porridge."
Lian'er was slightly surprised. The young lady used to be very frugal for the whole family, but now she is different.
She was happy in her heart. In the past, she could not bear to see the young lady living a hard life for this family. Now she finally figured it out and she was happier than anyone else.
"Yes, miss, I'll go down and give you instructions."
When we came to the kitchen, the cooks had cleaned up early. When they heard Lian'er's order, they looked embarrassed.
"Miss Lian'er, it's not that I refuse, but it's that we really don't have these ingredients in this house now. Even we just eat porridge with radishes. How can we get ducks and fish for Madam..."
She muttered a few words, and Lian'er's face darkened.
In the past, Mrs. Mei's house was always filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas. The young lady was frugal, but she didn't skip the food from Ci'an Hall. Why now, when the young lady wants to eat something, the mother-in-law in the house refuses.
She was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and rebuked angrily: "I think you ladies are just lazy, or something is secretly eaten by you. The lady asks you to prepare all kinds of food from Ci'an Hall every day. How can the madam eat it alone?" It’s not finished.”
The mother-in-law also choked back and said: "There is indeed nothing today. Miss Lian'er, please come early tomorrow. Now there are only some simple ingredients. It will take an hour to make a fire and cook the pot."
The implication is that I won’t do it.
Lian'er was angry and threw her back. The young lady used to be very tolerant towards the people in the yard, but she actually let them know how generous they were.
She hurried back to the yard and saw Wei Jingwei chewing a piece of snack. She stepped forward with an aggrieved look on her face and said, "Miss, the people in the kitchen are really disgusting. They actually excused themselves and said they couldn't make it because there were no ingredients."
Wei Jingwei sneered in her heart, her husband was cold, and his wife often asked her to stand in line and serve her, and she often shouted at her in front of the servants. The servants in the mansion are also very flexible, so it's strange that they can be respectful now.
She waved her hand and said, "It's okay, you don't need to be angry. Tomorrow I want to see what the servants in this yard are like and whether I can eat the food."
Hearing this, Lian'er was in disbelief at first, almost thinking that she had heard wrongly.
After feeling aggrieved for so long, the young lady is finally taking action to rectify the situation.
I think about how angry they, Hongxiayuan, have been in this past year. The young lady always refused to lose face to the old man in the house because of her status as a housewife and the reputation of the new wife.
Now you can vent your anger. Then let’s see if they dare to treat them like they do now!
After breakfast the next day, Wei Jingwei packed up and deliberately dressed up, which was very different from the simple and elegant style of the past, and she became more gorgeous.
Then he took Lian'er and Su'er, plus two rough ladies, and the group headed to the big kitchen.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw several big-bodied women sitting together with their legs crossed, knocking melon seeds, drinking tea, and chatting about the gossip of the house. There were also some expensive fruits and tea in front of them for the owner's use.
With that look, those who didn't know better thought he was the serious master of this mansion.
The few people were chatting happily and didn't notice Wei Jingwei's arrival at all.
She walked slowly behind a few people, and then ordered Lian'er and Su'er behind her, "Take away all the fruits and refreshments on the table that are not part of their share."
Before the women could see clearly who was coming, they saw the fruits on the table being taken away, and they immediately became anxious.
Immediately he stood up, put his hands on his hips and cursed, "What little hooves are you coming to stir up trouble on my head? I think you are..." After seeing that the person coming was Wei Jingwei, she reluctantly turned her back The words were swallowed.
His lips twitched a few times, and he said reluctantly: "It turns out it's Madam who is here to visit us, but I don't know why she came to the kitchen so early in the morning. Is it just to bully us wives?"
She said this skillfully, which made several people in the kitchen next to her look dumbfounded.
After Lian'er and Su'er cleared a clean area, Wei Jingwei put a piece of her own handkerchief on the stool where her mother-in-law had been sitting. Seeing that her mother-in-law looked a little indignant, she spoke calmly.
"Why, I have to come to the kitchen because I have something to do. I don't know where else I can't go in the Mei family."
"I don't dare, slave."
Seeing the mother-in-law saying she didn't dare but with a look of disapproval on her face, Wei Jingwei slammed her palm on the table and made a "bang" sound.
"You don't dare? If you, Mrs. Li, don't dare, no one in this house will dare. What happened last night?"
This was the first time that Mrs. Li saw this formerly gentle and virtuous lady speak so harshly. Although she was shocked, she still didn't take it seriously.
"Yesterday I told Miss Lian'er that the food in the kitchen has been finished. There is nothing I can do about it. I can't let my wife conjure it up. I am not a living god."
She rolled her eyes as she spoke, and it seemed like she wasn't telling the truth.
Wei Jingwei snorted coldly, "Have you finished eating? I checked the ledger early this morning. There are five ducks, five chickens, 6 fish, and a lot of other ingredients such as japonica rice in the kitchen every day. You You said you've finished it? Then I want to ask Mrs. Li, did your wife finish the five ducks, five chickens, six fishes, and three bags of japonica rice by herself?"
After she finished speaking, she remained silent, but glanced fiercely at Granny Li and the others in front of her.
Mrs. Li was a little panicked, but she quickly calmed down. She was an old man in the mansion, and the maid Xing'er beside her was her biological daughter. She didn't believe that her wife would embarrass herself for these things.
After all, in this mansion, the lady’s words don’t count.
"No matter how Madam asks, these food items were gone yesterday. There are many masters in this mansion, and there are even more pampered maids. It is normal for the food to run out, but why Madam is so fussy about it..."
