It's not fair, it's not fair! How come all the good cabbages are taken away by this pig Duan Tingxuan?
Looking at Aunt Jing standing with Xue Zhilan, both women were extremely beautiful. Even in the three palaces and six courtyards of the emperor, there might not be two such beauties, but they were all Duan Tingxuan's wives and concubines. Looking at Xu Ranyun and Aunt Jiang over there, although they did not have the heavenly appearance of Xue Jing and the other two, they were also beautiful and charming. This was just the presentable ones. In memory, the concubines were also very pretty. How could Su Nuannuan not sigh with pain? She really felt sorry for these beautiful girls: Are you afraid that men will not line up to propose marriage when you look like this? Why do you give yourself to Duan Tingxuan, that playboy?
Looking at the women, the grandmother had a feeling of "sorry for their misfortune and angry at their lack of struggle". She forgot that Duan Tingxuan was also a top diamond aristocrat among men. His appearance, status and power were all the best among the tens of millions of young men in Daxia, not to mention that he was both civil and military. Who wouldn't love such a man? She was willing to be his concubine. Flirtatious? Isn't being flirtatious a good thing? When did being flirtatious become a sin?
Su Nuannuan obviously knew that the gap between her modern thoughts and these ancient women was too narrow to be described as a natural moat. It must be as wide as the Milky Way to describe it. Therefore, apart from shouting a few words in her heart, she did not behave abnormally. She just looked at Aunt Jing and Xue Zhilan greedily, thinking to herself, beauties, these are real beauties of the level of disaster. Duan Tingxuan has two such beauties around him. He doesn't immerse himself in the land of tenderness all day long, but also has to worry about the court and the world. He is simply a beast. The most hateful thing is that after worrying about it, instead of rushing to indulge in luxury and debauchery with the beauties, he goes to Meiyue Tower every day to be a thief. What's thinking? Is there really water in his brain?
"Nuannuan, you haven't come to my place for a while, and when you came, you didn't talk. When did you become so dull?"
Old Lady Fang had been looking at everyone in the hall with a smile on her face. She now estimated that the time left for the two parties to observe each other was almost enough, and finally spoke to bring the atmosphere back to normal.
"The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. My granddaughter-in-law didn't understand this principle before, which led to this end. How can I not learn from it now?" Su Nuannuan smiled slightly. She came to the side of Old Lady Fang, looked her up and down for a few times, and then smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You look better and better."
"It's all your credit." Old Lady Fang said cheerfully. Before she finished speaking, she heard the voice of a little girl outside: "The second young lady is here?" Then the door curtain was lifted, and a girl walked in with her shoulders hunched and her head lowered.
Su Nuannuan stared at her, but because she was looking down, she couldn't see her face clearly. However, she knew that she was the only girl in the mansion, born to Lin Yi Niang, the concubine of the old marquis. Liu Min also had a daughter, one year older than Duan Tingxuan. But she married far away in Jiangning. Two years ago, she received news that she died of illness. She cried bitterly for this.
"Why did the second girl come here just now?"
Aunt Lin, who was standing behind Madam Yang, asked in a panic, with a tone of blame. The girl lowered her head even more. She mumbled, "I tripped outside, so I was delayed for a while."
"Okay, since she tripped, don't blame her. Qi girl is a weak person to begin with, and she's even more scared after what you said." Old Lady Fang said lightly. Although her words showed concern, she didn't ask Duan Xinqi to go forward to check. So Su Nuannuan understood: the old lady didn't like this girl very much, maybe because she was born out of wedlock, or because she was cowardly. In short, this little girl was pitiful.
This was just a small episode, and no one would spend too much energy on Duan Xinqi. They were still concerned about Su Nuannuan, so they only turned their heads to look at her, and then turned their eyes back to Su Nuannuan. Old Lady Fang smiled and said, "I didn't know you were such a good cook. Everything you sent me suits my taste. The kitchen sent some seafood today, and I'm afraid they won't know how to cook it and it will be wasted, so I want you to see how to cook it so that I can also enjoy a good meal."
Su Nuannuan finally understood: No wonder Honglian couldn't get the seafood back from the kitchen, it turned out that the old lady was waiting for her here. She is indeed Duan Tingxuan's grandmother, cunning as a fox and greedy as a snake. At such an old age, she still wants to eat and eat, and she is not afraid of eating too much.
The grandmother complained in her heart, but on the surface she was very submissive and smiled, "In this case, I will go and check for the old lady. However, there is one thing. I am afraid that the seasonings in our kitchen are not complete. It is absolutely impossible to prepare all these seafood." Haha! There is no free lunch in the world. Old lady, you should understand this truth, right?
"Hmm! Are the seasonings incomplete? Do you have anything special? Then take them all to the kitchen and teach them how to cook. Then you can just sit back and reap the benefits, right?" Well, it really is different from before. She dared to make conditions with me. She wanted to exchange all these seafood for just a lunch. Isn't that too greedy?
"I don't have any special seasonings in my kitchen. Even if I do, they are all freshly made. Otherwise, if I make too much, it will go bad if I leave it there. People in the Marquis' Mansion all pay attention to moderation when eating." Su Nuannuan was still smiling like a flower. She almost choked Old Lady Fang with her words and spit on her face. She thought to herself, how dare you say that? My good grandson said that you like to eat like your life, and now you are showing me the moderation of the wife of a prince?
Although she despised Su Nuannuan for being too shameless, the old lady knew that her wishful thinking had failed. This granddaughter-in-law was obviously not going to show up until she saw the rabbit. Helplessly, she could only nod and smile: "Since you said so, you can take all the seafood back, prepare them, and give us some."
The hypocritical smile on Su Nuannuan's face suddenly became sincere, and her eyes curved into crescents. She nodded and said, "Since the old lady trusts her granddaughter-in-law so much, I really have to show off my cooking skills today. Please sit down, and I will prepare something for you." After that, she turned around and nodded to everyone, then walked out with floating steps.
Except for the old lady and Aunt Lin and Duan Xinqi, all the women in the room were stunned. Did this woman and the old lady fight for a long time just to get those seafood? Damn, are you so useless? This is a big house. You, an old feudal lord and a prince's wife, talked to each other for a long time just for those jars of seafood? This... is this a deliberate way of showing that you don't take us seriously? Otherwise, how is it possible? How is it possible?
It was a question of dignity, and the people who were seriously neglected all roared in their hearts. But how could Su Nuannuan care about their feelings? When she thought that the seafood would become hers, she was so happy that she wanted to fly.
