Chapter 265 Depth of the Third Test
Yan Kaizhi's attitude made Shaohua happy for a long time, so that Xu Xinru came to the door again and again, and she also treated each other with a smile.
"What on earth do you want? Don't you want to help him?" Xu Xinru felt like a ripe fruit. She had to look at the other party's face when she threw it on the ground and sold it cheaply.
"I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry? Don't you want to rely on the marquis?" Shaohua's words easily provoked Xu Xinru's anger. Just before she jumped, she said lightly, "Do you think the marquis's decision can be controlled by anyone? If you are in such a hurry, come to him and tell him yourself. Maybe he will satisfy you for the sake of your urgency."
Shaohua's contemptuous eyes were like looking at Goulan Jizi, as if his eyes stayed on her for a moment, and she was afraid of staining her eyes. Xu Xinru knew that he was the first to give in. He secretly gritted his teeth to resist this humiliation and turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Shaohua called her footsteps and nodded to Chu He. Chu He hurried out and brought a bowl the size of a basin in front of Xu Xinru, mixed with all kinds of beans. In response to Xu Xinru's doubtful and dissatisfied eyes, she smiled kindly: "Go back and separate all these beans. If the sunset is not over, you are not allowed to eat tonight."
Xu Xinru immediately changed her face and said angrily, "Why!"
The more impatient she is, the happier Shaohua's mood is. "It's up to you to make me unhappy. Remember, you must do it yourself and let me know who will replace it. Next time it will be one by one. She narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Don't try to take risks. I'll let people watch it at any time."
Xu Xinru didn't expect Shaohua to make such a tricky request. He waved his hand and almost knocked over a bunch of beans. Fortunately, Chuhe reacted quickly and took a step back, only a few.
"If I don't pick it up, don't bully people too much." Xu Xinru gritted his teeth.
Shaohua raised her eyebrows. She hadn't heard others say that about her for a long time, which made her a little happy. So what if I just bully you? Don't forget that this is Xingyong Houfu. I'm Mrs. Xingyong Hou. You are just a concubine who sent it to your door. What right do you have to talk to me about bullying? Xu Xinru choked in half a sentence and felt indescribably uncomfortable. "I didn't tell you earlier that if you enter this door, you have to be subject to the rules of the strict family."
"How can the Yan family have such rules!" Xu Xinru felt more and more that Shaohua was a terrible demon.
"I'm the hostess of this family. If I say yes, I will naturally have it." Shaohua said happily. Suddenly, she put away her smile and lowered her eyes and said, "If you really don't pick it up, I really can't help it." Just as Xu Xinru was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she said happily, "But I have more ways to torture you."
When Xu Xinru heard this, she couldn't help taking a breath, "You witch!"
"Youhan." Shaohua gave a sweet call.
The young man immediately answered, holding a bowl of stones in his hand, the size of mung beans. When he came to Chuhe's side, he buckled the stone on the food bowl with his backhand. Originally, there were six or seven kinds of grains, but now there is another bowl of stones. Xu Xinru almost lost her heart and screamed.
Shaohua looked at her pale face in an instant and said, "Will you pick it up? I should still have seven or eight things to add, and I'm afraid you won't be able to pick them up at dawn. In addition to the mixed grains, she also prepared Sichuan pepper, fennel, kernels, pine nuts, barley, pumpkin seeds, wolfberries, and solid. When Xu Xinru continued to be in trouble, she added the same way.
Unfortunately, Xu Xinru did not give her this opportunity. She rushed over, grabbed the miscellaneous grains in Chu He's arms, and looked at her fiercely.
"I picked it up, but don't forget what you promised me." Xu Xinru gritted her teeth and said.
"Next time bring the rules and let me hear your presumptuous tone, I won't just let you pick beans." After Shaohua said that, he asked Chu He to see the guests off.
Youhan looked at Xu Xinru holding a heavy food and left with a sense of resentment. Although it was not clear what kind of riddle she was playing between her and Shaohua, she had to admit that this move was really cruel. If two beans are mixed together, it will be enough to give them a headache, not to mention six or seven kinds, and the weight is so much. Not to mention that the day is not yet, even if you get up early in the morning to work, you may not finish it by dark.
When you think of Xu Xinru's impatient temper, you will run away in less than half, and others will never stand by. As long as you send someone to stare outside, you can hold her little braids at any time and beat her to death.
Suddenly, Youhan felt that Shaohua was simply Zhuge's reincarnation, and such a wonderful way could come up with it.
Shaohua was a little uncomfortable by her and frowned, "What's wrong with your eyes all day? Have you flashed?"
The young man said excitedly, "I just think that my wife is really too smart. It's simply wonderful. How can I come up with this method?" She patted her thigh and said regretfully, "If there had been a way at the beginning, the second lady would probably not have been so pitiful."
Shaohua felt powerless about her exaggerated dog legs. She said in her heart that even if Ling used this method against Su at the beginning, Su's wisdom must have been able to quickly come up with a way out. In the final analysis, her husband's attitude works. She can only make it so difficult because Yan Kaizhi has no interest in Xu Xinru. If Yan Kaizhi is a concubine like her father-in-law, she probably has to think more about it.
Therefore, instead of thinking about how to fight a concubine, it is most important to keep your husband's heart.
Youhan is insinuating Shaohua to find another way to make things difficult for Xu Xinru. Be sure to hit her thoroughly at one time so that she dare not jump up and resist again. But in Shaohua's eyes, as long as Yan Kaizhi ignores her, this is the greatest torture for her. The empty name of a concubine has entered a cold palace without any freedom and expectation. Is there anything more sad than this?
However, Shaohua was surprised by Chu He's report, "When I looked at it in the past, it was true that Aunt Xu was the only one doing it, but I think of those postures are definitely not what Aunt Xu can think of."
Chu He told Shaohua what he had seen and heard when he went to Xu Xinru's yard. The white cloth covered the yard was different in size and dense bamboo sieves. Several piles of beans have been picked out on the ground, all of which are granular, and the rest are divided into several places, roughly arranged by particle size. This layer of screening distinguishes beans of different sizes first, and screens out stones and miscellaneous beans in a bumpy way.
Although there are many processes, it saves less time and effort than picking one by one.
Seeing Chu Hemu stunned, Xu Xinru still stared at her disdainfully, as if he was making fun of Shaohua's self-made cleverness.
After listening to Chu He's words, Shaohua couldn't help thinking deeply. Xu Xinru should not be such a thoughtful person and should not have thought of such a smart way. Suddenly, I thought of the water spirit that had been following Xu Xinru, and Shaohua was thinking for a moment.
Until it was dark, when Shuiling brought back all the good beans to Shaohua, Shaohua specially looked at her a few more times. But Shaohua was quite impressed by her calm and calm attitude.
The next day, Shaohua asked people to send walnuts of equal weight. Although they looked the same, they were much less than the number. However, her request is that she must peel it with her bare hands. If it is smashed, there will still be no food. This trick was learned by Mrs. Xin in those years. It is said that many concubines have broken their nails and almost smashed walnuts with their heads.
Xu Xinru, as Shaohua expected, was so angry that he threw the walnuts all over the ground, and the result was picked up one by the water spirit. As soon as she heard that she had borrowed the kitchen, Shaohua immediately asked Youhan to wait and see. He only said that the water spirit made a fire and boiled water. He steamed all the walnuts in a steamer for half an hour and went to cold water. After repeated several times, he let Xu Xinru peel walnuts, which was really easy to solve it.
Youhan said it in a mess, and Shaohua listened attentively. After thinking about it, he asked someone to send a bag of olive cores. According to its beautiful name, Yan Kaizhi likes to eat olives the most. If Xu Xinru has the heart, he can do it by himself and knocks a plate of stir-fried vegetables for Yan Kaizhi to eat. The premise is that it can't be broken olives, but must be complete to pass.
Youhan complained that this was too simple. Just take a small hammer and open it with a hammer. However, Shaohua doesn't think so. Xu Xinru seems to be lazy to replace other things. But if she really likes Yan Kaizhi as much as she said, at least in this matter, Xu Xinru will never want others to interfere.
Anyway, she doesn't expect Xu Xinru to knock it out. She just wants to find something to do for her, otherwise she won't be upset.
Xu Xinru can find trouble for her. Why can't she return an eye for a tooth? At most, it's just a sadistic body and a sadistic heart. What's more, there is a water spirit around her who seems to have the ability to do well, which makes her have to be energetic.
Only when the water spirit sent the selected olive kernels again, Shaohua looked at the water spirit for a longer time than the olive kernels. In such a short time, he picked so many olive kernels. This is not like picking beans. You can do it with patience. Many of them are about skills. When she was a child, she was punished a lot. Although she found the trick, she didn't make it so delicate.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Shuiling seemed to have been aware of Shaohua's difficulties for a long time and took the initiative to ask.
"It's okay. Tell Aunt Xu that I will tell the marquis about her feelings for her." Shaohua asked Chu He to take over the plate and said with a smile.
"In this case, the maidservant will leave." The water spirit blessed the body respectfully.
"Shuiling, how old are you? You haven't made anyone yet." Shaohua's words immediately made Shuiling cold. He only heard Shaohua say slowly, "Xu is impatient and doesn't know the rules. If I had half of you, I wouldn't have embarrassed her so much."
Shuiling hit a thrill and immediately turned around and knelt down. "Please forgive me. I have no intention to do anything. These are all done by my aunt's own hands. I'm just mentioning one or two."
Shaohua nodded and motioned Chu He to help her up. "You are right to have this heart. All right, go down."
Shuiling couldn't guess Shaohua's idea, so he had to salute and retreat again tremblingly.
Seeing her like this, Shaohua's heart became heavier. Until the evening, when Yan Kaizhi came back for dinner, he saw the olive bean curd soup, and the fresh taste made him take a few more bites. Seeing that Yan Kaizhi was so enthusiastic about this dish, Shaohua tasted a little, "My husband likes this dish so much, and he doesn't forget Xu's olive kernels for a long time."
When Yan Kaizhi's hand reached for the bean curd soup again, he immediately stopped when he heard her words, "Why did you let her do this?"
Shaohua pouted and sighed, "Why are you heartbroken? Since my husband likes Lanren so much and some people are willing to do it, I am also the beauty of adults.
Yan Kaizhi squeezed his lips and obviously asked knowingly, "Who made this dish?"
Shaohua was stunned and immediately put on a proud face: "It's me. What's wrong?"
Yan Kaizhi nodded and continued to go to the tofu soup. He chewed carefully and said, "No wonder it tastes so good."
Shaohua smiled, but he didn't expect him to say this. For a moment, his jealousy disappeared and deliberately took a few more mouths for him. "You have been with Song Yu for a long time, and your mouth has become slippery."
That's good. She likes to listen to this sentence!
Yan Kaizhi smiles and doesn't say anything. Anyway, it's best for everyone to be happy.
