"Today's dishes are all vegetarian. I wonder if the Second Young Master and the Young Miss can eat their fill."
Yan Zhu looked at the stir-fried rapeseed, stir-fried bamboo shoots, sauerkraut stewed with tofu, and mushroom soup on the plate in his hand. As he walked, he wondered whether the two little ones' often hungry stomachs could be filled.
Rong Yuanyou and Rong Chaoxi have excellent appetites and are never picky about food. They only prefer meat, and other meals are difficult to fill their stomachs.
If I don’t eat meat, I will basically feel hungry within an hour.
However, both children are blessed and the general's mansion can afford to feed them no matter how much they eat.
"Qin! We haven't seen each other for just a few days, and you dare not acknowledge me as your mother-in-law!?"
An old man's angry roar came from the courtyard where they lived.
Yan Zhu knew who the voice came from as soon as she heard it, and she trotted forward.
Although he was running, his hands were very steady and no soup splashed.
As soon as she arrived at the courtyard gate, she saw the old lady scolding Qin Nanjing with a haughty attitude, "You usually act so virtuous in front of others, but now that no one can see you, are you ready to reveal your true nature?"
The old lady's face was extremely stern.
Qin Nanjing simply placed her chopsticks in order, her expression calm, as if no one else was around.
Anyone who sees this scene can guess that one party is being aggressive while the other party is trying hard to be tolerant and not to care.
Seeing herself being ignored, the old lady became even more furious. She raised her wrinkled fingers and was about to start...
Seeing this, Yan Zhu hurried forward and stood in front of Qin Nanjing.
They used to be a family. As the younger generation, the lady was ordered around by the old lady and asked to do this and that. No one else dared to say anything.
But the general was abandoned by their Annan Marquisate first and wanted to break off the relationship with him. Why is he acting like a mother-in-law now?
Yanzhu is the managing nanny of the General's Mansion.
Although she usually did not allow the maids in the mansion to call her "Mammy".
But now the general's wife has been bullied by outsiders, and as the first-class housekeeper, she should act like a quarrelsome nanny.
Yan Zhu put the meal on the table, put his hands in his sleeves, and said loudly with full confidence,
"Old Madam, although you are a Marquise, my wife is also the wife of a first-rank general, and her status is not much lower than yours."
"Our General's wife, considering you are her elder, has always been tolerant and refrained from arguing with you. That's just our wife's magnanimity. Please don't take advantage of your seniority and take advantage of Qiao too much! If you get too arrogant, you might not be able to come down from it."
"You damn girl!"
After hearing the strange sarcasm and the undisguised impatience on Yanzhu's face, the old lady became so angry that her mouth was on fire and smoke was coming out of her seven orifices.
Since when did an inferior person dare to bully her and act so arrogantly?
"The master is speaking, how can a servant like you interrupt? Come, slap him in the face!"
"Madam Rong." Qin Nanjing pulled Yan Zhu behind her, slowly sat opposite the old lady, and looked at her leisurely.
"You've probably forgotten that our families have severed ties for a long time. To me, you're just an old acquaintance. How can you call me mother-in-law? Why are you treating me like a relative for no reason..."
As if thinking of something, Qin Nanjing sneered,
"Why? The Annan Marquisate is afraid that our family will bring disaster to your family, but you also want us to serve them? You want to take advantage of both the reputation and the status. How can such a good thing happen in the world? I'm afraid Madam Rong is still asleep."
Her tone was gentle, as if she was just narrating an insignificant, trivial, and extremely trivial matter.
But it was this kind of nonchalant attitude and leisurely posture that made the old lady feel as if Qin Nanjing was some kind of high and mighty, unattainable nobleman from heaven.
And I am just a cloud that is trampled upon by others.
This reminded her of the year when her family fell into poverty and she came to Kyoto to seek refuge. When she first entered the circle of noble ladies, everyone whispered contemptuously about her and looked down on her.
At that time, she vowed to become a noble woman in the capital and trample under her feet those who looked down on her in the past.
At that time, she had thought about entering the palace to become a concubine.
However, the late emperor was already old at that time and no longer held beauty pageants.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a very deep relationship.
If we wait until the feelings between the two fade away, we don’t know how long it will take.
She came from a small place, and her talent, conversation, appearance and etiquette were not as good as those noble ladies in Beijing who were spoiled and brought up with poetry and books.
Therefore, her best choice was Marquis Annan, with whom she had a brief childhood friendship.
But at that time, the Annan Marquis's Mansion was extremely poor, and she hesitated from time to time.
But she has given everything to Marquis Annan, and can only follow him for the rest of her life.
Later, in order to gain money and enhance the influence of Annan Marquis's mansion, Annan Marquis planned to "marry a wife for wealth".
But no one would have thought that Gu Yan, the daughter of a merchant, would be so appreciated in the circle of noble ladies.
Not only is Gu Yan's speech and behavior comparable to those of the noble ladies in Beijing, she is also beautiful, and her whole body exudes the gentleness and care of a girl from a water town.
After spending two months with her, Marquis Annan actually began to feel a sense of regret.
So she panicked and tried her best to win back Marquis Annan's heart.
Everything went smoothly afterwards, even though Gu Yan lived a year longer than expected and gave birth to a son.
But it's not a big deal, it's common for young children to die young.
After Gu Yan's death, she soon became the wife of Marquis Annan in the name of taking care of the children.
From then on, everyone would respectfully call her "Madam Hou" when they saw her.
He had been praised for so many years, but now he was being despised again, and by a junior who he could use at will before.
