049: The beginning of the Houfu

Lv Ning has had a stomachache for three days.

Yancui felt that her master was overeating on a table full of food that day, but Lv Ning said that it was just the discomfort caused by hunger for too long to eat.

Even if the opinions of the two masters and servants cannot be unified, the recipe given by Lang Zhong must be fried according to it.

"Madam, please drink the medicine." Shuizhuer took the boiled traditional Chinese medicine in a small bowl, walked to the front of Lv Ning and presented it up.

Lv Ning sighed and frowned at the bowl of bitter medicine. Thinking about this food medicine, she felt even more uncomfortable in her stomach.

"Madam, just drink it and leave Chen Ji carefully. I'm afraid you will suffer in the future." Shuizhu'er advised.

"I listened to you. I won't suffer until he eats!" Lv Ning didn't think about it. As soon as she thought of it, she was not angry.

The immortal Luo Jin made himself so uncomfortable that he couldn't catch the opportunity to deal with her fiercely.

"But..." When it came to Luo Jin, Shui Zhuer sighed worriedly and said, "The marquis has never come back since he went to Chi Caiqingyuan that day. Could it be that Chi Caiqing did any means to the marquis and take the marquis by her side?

"She let her do the tricks. What are you complaining about here?" Isn't it enough for Lu Ning to be far away from Luo Jin and eat so much tofu? How do I look at you like a resentful woman?

"Oh, my good lady, why can't you turn this corner again?" On the side, Yan Cui, who was playing with the beads in the dressing box, stamped her feet in a hurry, "Do you think that Chi Caiqing is a fuel-efficient lamp?" She stared at the seat of Mrs. Beijinghou, and it was not a day and a half with this 'Liaoxia Pavilion'. At this time, the marquis was invited away from under our eyes, and it was already declaring war on your wife. Haven't you seen it yet? Think about what she used to do to your wife? Obviously, she is a partial room, and she still thinks of herself as the second lady. She doesn't want to replace it, but what?

Lv Ning didn't have the heart to take care of Yan Cui. She just took the medicine by herself, frowned, bitterly, and drank it all at once.

"You, you just have a confused life here," Yan Cui saw that Lv Ning didn't pay attention to her. At that moment, she turned her eyes in anger and snorted coldly, "It's only two days to live a good life. The marquis's heart is also on you, but she was robbed by that vulgar powder. If Chi Caiqing is like a flower and jade, and the maidservant can still swallow this breath, who wants to be so arrogant and frivolous. Let the maidservant watch them bully their wives, it's better to teach me to be clean.

"Presumptuous!" Lv Ning drank the medicine and was so bitter that her eyebrows were tangled together. She was angry. At this time, when she heard Yan Cui talking like this, she was so angry that she throwing the medicine bowl on the tray in Shui Zhuer's hand and said angrily, "I'm just not feeling well these days. I don't bother to pay attention to you, but you, a dead girl, have more and more rules. It's easy to die, but did you pay attention to my wife!"

When Yan Cui saw that Lv Ningguo was really angry, she did not dare to speak up at the moment. She just pouted and lowered her head to play with the pearl flowers.

"What are you doing with those things?" When Lu Ning saw that Yan Cui didn't say anything, she had an unconvinced expression on her face, and became even more angry. But when she thought that this girl was still for herself, but also for her heart, she sighed and said, "Go, bring me Uncle Zhang."

"Yes." Yan Cui knew that her master had been busy with these days, so she immediately answered happily, stood up and walked down.

After a while, Zhang Bo hurried over.

"Speaking to your wife." This uncle has always been very respectful to Lu Ning, and his words are full of sincerity.

"Bun Zhang, I invite you to come today, not for the side," Lu Ning winced at Yan Cui and others, and all the little girl in this line retreated. Lu Ning looked at this uncle with a smile in her eyes and said, "Bun Zhang, you are a reliable person. I knew this when I first saw you. At present, there is no one else in this room, but only you and me. I might as well talk to you directly.

"Please speak, madam." What kind of person is Uncle Zhang? At this time, looking at all the maids in the room, she naturally knew that she had something to say to herself, and of course she nodded.

"Bun Zhang, let me ask you, all the dry items in the kitchen were bought by Chi Gui?" Green Ning asked.

Zhang Bo nodded, "It's just that the green vegetables were sent by the vegetable seller A Shan in the early morning, and other slightly valuable items were bought by the late price."

"But according to the rules of the house, isn't it that bird's nest and other things only have five catties a month? That day, I looked at the things in the basket, which was much more than five catties, right? Green Ning asked.

"Madam said very well," Zhang Bo nodded repeatedly. "Since the beginning of this year, every time you send more ginseng and other things, there will be more. Although the little ones said that they were afraid that they would not keep them well if there were too many things, they asked him to buy less. If it was not enough, he would buy them again, but he didn't listen and asked the little ones to just accept them.

"Is there any spare time every month?" Lu Ning asked doubtfully.

"But... there is no more than enough." Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment and replied.

"Isn't it more than enough?" Lu Ning asked in surprise, "Since it is sent more every month, why is there no more than enough?"

"This..." Zhang Bo lowered his head and muttered, saying nothing.

"Uncle Zhang, you are an old man in Houfu. If you don't take me as your master, you will never ask me to go to the kitchen to see the things sent by Chi Gui." Naturally, Lv Ning knew that Uncle Zhang was taking care of him. At that moment, he said pleasantly, "It's okay for Uncle Zhang to say that it's okay. I will deal with this matter in a sense."

After hearing this, Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Madam, Zhang Jiu has been in the Hou Mansion for most of his life, serving the old marquis and the marquis for two generations. The old marquis and the marquis have been waiting for Zhang Jiu for a long time. Zhang Jiu has only one son. Although he has been reading poetry for a long time, he finally has no money to study because his family is poor. Thanks to the marquis's kindness, in addition to the monthly money, he also gives Zhou Ji Zhang Jiu some money every month, so that children can study. Although Zhang Jiu is a rude person, he finally knows the four words to repay kindness.

Lv Ning nodded, but the bottom of his heart moved slightly. She really didn't know that Luo Jin would be a steward of Zhou Ji's kitchen in private, which surprised her.

"Madam, I think you are too old, perverse and arrogant, but in the end, there is also some background. The villain is just a subordinate, and no matter how much ambition his backer has, he is finally the master for the villain. How can a servant win over the master? So even if there is something, the villain has to close one eye and dare not speak out, not to mention that there is no person in charge in the house at all?"

"But when he saw his wife, the villain respected her as an insightful woman. The third aunt and the second lady could not be compared with the lady at all. Seeing that the lady was a person who could suppress things and did it, the villain dared to report it to his wife. I hope you can understand the suffering of the villain.

This uncle said sincerely and sincerely. Lv Ning nodded repeatedly and said, "Bun Zhang, it's enough to see that you really think of Hou Fu, but it's also difficult for you."

"Madam, you're welcome. It's what the villain should do to share the worries for the master." Zhang Bo bowed and said, "It's just that many masters, except for my wife, are just staring at the silver and things in the house. How can they really care about Houfu? So the villain said that the marquis and his ancestors had foresight, and only his wife could benefit the house in an orderly manner.

Uncle Zhang's words made a strange light flash in Lv Ning's heart. At this moment, Lv Ning raised her eyebrows slightly and said to Uncle Zhang, "Bun Zhang, so, the remaining ginseng, bird's nest and other things have entered some people's own pockets?"

Uncle Zhang just smiled and didn't say anything. He lowered his head.

That's true.

Lv Ning took a deep breath. She knew that this uncle had said enough, and no matter how much she said, it would be impossible. At that moment, he nodded and smiled, "So I know, Uncle Zhang, thank you for your painstaking efforts. It's really lucky that our Beijing Marquis Mansion can get such a loyal person like you."

After saying that, he called Yancui, took ten taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Bo and said, "I didn't know that you had such an aggressive son before. Although this silver is worthless, you can still buy a few volumes to read. People say that there is a general from a poor family, and I hope that Zhang Bo can cultivate the talent to work for the country.

Zhang Jiu has respected Rong Yan as a visionary woman, but now he has heard that this Mrs. Rong has spoken out and is quite general, so he once again strengthened his determination to trust her. This side refused several times and finally accepted it.

Seeing that Uncle Zhang walked out of the house, Yan Cui smiled and said, "Madam is sympathetic to these servants. No wonder there are more and more people in the Hou Mansion who admire her now."

"Oh?" Lv Ning was surprised, "How can I see this?"

"When I walk in the house these days, I often hear people mention my wife. They all say that I misunderstood my wife in the past. Thinking about it, he was also young and energetic at the beginning, but now he really has a room with the marquis, and he has become more and more like a wife. If he had known this, the marquis should have had a room with his wife earlier, so as to teach people to rely on.

After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.

"I'll take you as an unruly thing," Lu Ning was also so angry that she laughed and said, "Look, I won't twist your mouth."

As he was talking, Shui Zhuer came in and said with a smile, "Look, madam is smiling happily. I don't know what I missed?"

"It's not the most lively," Yan Cui said with a smile. "It's just that if you come back later, I'm afraid my mouth will be twisted and swollen by my wife."

The three people laughed to themselves for a while, and then Lu Ning asked Shui Zhuer seriously, "Have you understood what I told you?"

"I have made it clear." Shui Zhuer nodded with a smile.
