Su Wan listened to what Su Xun sent someone to say, but he couldn't recover for a long time. He finally sent the person away. Xiao Sang had already brought the dinner back from the big kitchen.
Eight-treasure meatballs, steamed fish, dried bamboo shoots and bacon, vegetarian fried vegetables, ginkgo cake, mini muffins, lotus seed soup, a combination of meat and vegetables, suitable for salty and light dishes.
Most high-ranking nobles eat in a large kitchen. After the food is prepared in the large kitchen, the masters of each courtyard will send people to pick it up.
Of course, in addition to the large kitchen, some courtyards are also equipped with small kitchens. For example, the Jinning Marquis Mansion, that is, the Wang family's Fuping courtyard has a small kitchen. Even the wife of the eldest son of the Yang family does not have this qualification.
Every day, the kitchen will list meals. If the masters want to eat something, they will send someone to notify them in advance and let the kitchen cook it. This is why many unfavored girls live in misery in the mansion.
The host who presides over the feed decides what you can eat every day and whether you will be hungry.
Fortunately, the housekeeper is the housekeeper of the Wang family. No one dares to mistreat Su Wan, the direct granddaughter. She always eats rich food, but if she wants to eat something special, someone will buy it and make it with money. OK
The maids and maids around the girls of the big clans also have different treatment in terms of food. The eldest maids like Xiao Sang and the second-class maids can take their meals back to their houses to eat, and other servants who do rough cleaning work The maids all went to the big kitchen to eat.
Our clan also has an unwritten rule: the eldest daughter should be accompanied by two eldest maids and four second-class maids, and the concubine should be accompanied by one eldest maid and two second-class maids.
Therefore, Su Wan was surrounded by two first-class maids and four second-class maids. The first-class maids usually served closely and took them wherever they went, while the second-class maids took care of some daily trivial matters.
The person in charge of making clothes is an embroiderer named Zhixiu, the person in charge of the inside and outside of the yard is called Zhiyue, the person in charge of the jewelry store is called Azhu, and the person in charge of daily food is called Zhiwei.
Ah Zhu is Yue's personal maid. Su Wan wanted to call her Aunt Ah Zhu. After Yue's death, she asked herself to stay with Su Wan. However, she didn't like to go out, so she came to see Su Wan on the night of their engagement. Meet Su Wan.
After learning that Su Wan was willing to marry him, the Duke of Zhenguo also agreed, so he didn't say anything.
Because of Azhu's special status, although she works as a second-class maid, she still receives the monthly payment of a first-class maid.
Su Wan has no feelings for her. She has been here for so long and they have only met her once.
Su Wan gave the steamed fish and small waffles to Xiao Sang and Xiao Bao, and asked them to go down to eat. He didn't have to wait on them and finished the dinner slowly. Xiao Sang Xiao Bao shared the remaining lotus seed soup and drank it.
As night fell, Mei Gu took the two of them to Wanyuan, saying that she was here to give a gift on behalf of Wang. Wang felt sorry for her granddaughter, so she gave her a set of ruby heads and faces and an eight-treasure jade bracelet.
There are also some nourishing supplements for women, such as jujube, donkey-hide gelatin, isinglass, salvia, cordyceps, etc. There is a box full of them, all of which are of excellent quality and valuable.
Meigu said: "Madam ordered me to send these things to Miss Sixth, saying that Miss Sixth was ill and needs to be nursed back to health."
Things have been delivered to your door, so there is no reason to refuse. It is said that elders dare not refuse gifts. If you refuse, it will be a slap in the face.
Su Wan had no choice but to take the things and keep them, thinking, let's treat Su Ling's trivial matter as work. She has already received the money, so she should spend some time.
Su Wan said: "It's troublesome for grandma to worry about me, so let me rest assured that grandma will take good care of herself."
"Miss Sixth thinks so, Madam is relieved."
Aunt Mei came and went in a hurry, leaving only these things behind. Su Wan asked Xiao Sang to pick out the nourishing medicinal materials and put them in a wooden box. He planned to go to see Su Ling tomorrow to use them. The rest were gathered and put in the warehouse.
Xiao Sang marveled at her behavior: "The girl is so smart."
I didn’t have to pay anything, and I got a lot of things for free.
"Okay, go and finish things quickly. Let's get some rest early. I'm a little tired after going out today."
"Yes, girl."
The next day, after breakfast, Su Wan and Xiao Sang Xiaowei went to Ruoling Garden with gifts. From a distance, they heard Su Fu's extremely angry yelling. The image of a wealthy lady was gone, and she was like a shrew. Swear in the street.
"Su Ling, come out here. Don't think I can't do anything to you if you hide in the yard. Come out here!"
"Come out! If you don't come out, I'm going to have the door knocked down!"
Su Wan paused, and then said to Xiao Sang, "Go and ask what's going on."
Xiao Sang took the order and went forward, but came back after a while. She whispered in Su Wan's ear the reason of the matter: "This morning, the third girl took people to the fourth girl's yard and took the food from the fourth girl's yard. The peonies were plucked, and the fourth girl is going crazy."
Su Wan clicked her tongue: "No wonder she yelled so much."
Although the courtyard where Su Fu lived was called Furong Garden, her favorite was peonies, which were planted all over the yard. Their flowers were shining brightly, making the world rich and noble.
She cherished her very much, but now that Su Ling had pulled her out, she might even have the desire to kill Su Ling.
Su Wan was too lazy to confront Su Fu, lest she couldn't deal with Su Ling and end up taking out her anger on herself, so she said: "I'll wait here for a while, and Xiaopi will go to her grandmother's Fuping Courtyard quickly to explain the cause of the matter. Grandma sent someone to call her away.”
Xiao Fei nodded: "I accept my order."
After saying that, she left in a hurry, while Xiao Sang and Su Wan found a stone table nearby to sit down and rest. Across the green wall of smoke and willows, they listened to Su Fu's angry curses and the sound of someone banging on the courtyard door. .
After a while, someone from Fupingyuan came to invite her, saying that the Wang family invited her over. Someone in Su Fu wanted to deal with Su Ling, but Su Ling stayed behind closed doors, so she had no choice but to give up and leave in a hurry with her people. I plan to go to the Wang family to file a complaint against Su Ling.
After Su Fu left, Xiaobao also returned to Su Wan. Su Wan led the two of them and knocked on Ruolingyuan's door.
When the people inside saw that it was Su Wan and saw that Su Fu had left, they opened the door and invited Su Wan in for tea. Su Wan was led to the main hall, where Su Ling was already waiting.
She was wearing a bright red dress, with delicate makeup on her face. She was charming and seductive. She had a towering bun on her head with a few precious pearl flowers, making her look extremely luxurious and noble.
Su Wan was stunned for a moment and called Third Sister.
"Here you are, sit down and drink tea. This tea is Junshan tea from the Dongting Lake. It's a rare thing. The prince gave it to me a few days ago. It's a coincidence that you're here today. Let's have a try."
