"Alas! After all, it's all my fault. If I wasn't born into a wealthy family, I wouldn't have these troubles." Su Nuannuan sighed, but heard a few girls laughing together. She was confused and turned her head to ask, "What did I say? Is it so funny?"
Honglian also smiled and said, "Grandma, this is really what you said as a rich lady. Look, Cong'erhua is so happy. If you were not born in a rich family, do you think those poor people would have an easy life? Let alone other things, just look at your mouth. How many families can afford to support you? Even if they can, poverty, illness, or meeting a pervert, or meeting a bad man, or having unpromising children... There are so many troubles in the world. Otherwise, why do they say that every family has its own troubles? On the contrary, even if this rich family has all kinds of troubles, at least they are not short of money."
"Haha! Honglian, you are so young, yet you can see things so clearly. Is this because you are born with wisdom? I will send you to a temple to be a nun tomorrow. With your great virtue and wisdom, you may become a great nun in the future."
Su Nuannuan gnashed her teeth as she spoke. Honglian knew that her master understood all these principles, but just refused to face them. Now that she had been cornered by a few words from her, she would be angry and embarrassed. She laughed and waved her hands quickly, saying, "No, no, I am too greedy for the secular world and have committed countless sins. I even slaughtered two ducks the other day. I'd better not cause trouble for the nuns in the temple."
"Forget it, go cook. I'm going to make a new dish today, and I guarantee you'll eat it so hard that you'll want to swallow your tongue." Seeing the sun rushing towards the mountains in the west, Su Nuannuan stood up and put the key in her arms: Honglian is right, since I have traveled to such a place, I have to face reality. This key is a layer of protection after all, so don't be hypocritical. But Duan Tingxuan must know the ins and outs of this. He still wants to fool me, hum! The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, let's see how to deal with him when the time comes.
As she was thinking, she left the house. When she heard that there was something new to eat, the maids became interested and followed her out the door. Cong'er said with a smile, "Madam, which food is not edible? We would like to swallow our tongues. The night before last, I carefully calculated the days I spent with you. I couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, our tongues are still strong, otherwise they would have been swallowed into our stomachs along with the food, and we would have to pull them out. I don't know how much effort it would take."
Before he could finish, everyone burst into laughter. Su Nuannuan couldn't help laughing, "Bah! If you really swallow it, you'll die. Why are you trying to pull it out?"
They walked down the stairs while chatting and laughing. Before they even entered the small kitchen, Siping came in excitedly. He laughed and said, "Grandma, our grandfather asked the fourth prince for a few pounds of the best bird's nests today. Apart from the ones for the old lady and the madam, the rest are for you."
"Where's your grandfather?"
Su Nuannuan asked Honglian to take the bird's nest while smiling.
Siping looked at that obviously kind and gentle smile, and somehow felt his scalp tingling. He thought to himself, "Our grandfather?" Our grandfather is still squatting fifty steps away. He will only dare to come in if he sees that I haven't been kicked out.
It turned out that Duan Tingxuan also knew that although he gave the key this morning for Su Nuannuan's good, the negative impact would definitely not be hidden from her. But that woman kept saying that the joy of life is eating and drinking, and showed a very obvious disgust for the open and secret struggles in the mansion, so once she figured it out, she would definitely not get any good results. The best result would be that she would have to suffer for a few days and could not eat the delicious food of Chunfeng Garden.
This was not a big deal. The worst thing was that the woman would get angry and show her true colors. She would chase me out with a kitchen knife as soon as I entered the house. This was not Meiyue Tower. If the servants saw me running away with my head in my arms, I would be too ashamed to live like a human being. Although it was a bit too much for a woman to do this, did the woman care about the rules of etiquette and the three obediences and four virtues after she was reborn? If she really went too far, I could only swallow my bitterness.
Therefore, after thinking about it, the young marquis who was unwilling to take risks easily decided to let Siping, the number one lackey, go and explore the way for him first. If he was not kicked out, then he would probably pass this level. After all, his private vault was very rich, and giving the key to Nuannuan was like a big pie falling from the sky, and she happened to catch it. Maybe she would understand and not be too angry.
So Siping stepped into Chunfeng Garden with a tragic mood of "The wind is whistling and the Yishui River is cold, and I will never come back once I leave", but he was treated calmly, except that the grandmother's smile was a little creepy. When he heard Su Nuannuan's question, he naturally wouldn't tell the truth, so he smiled flatteringly and said, "My master has something to do in the back, and will be there in a moment."
"Oh!" Su Nuannuan nodded calmly, turned around and said to Honglian: "Bring the big rooster that was sent from the kitchen this morning. The main ingredient of our fresh meal tonight depends on it."
When he heard that there was new food, Siping's eyes immediately lit up. This good servant really wanted to turn around and shout: "Master, come in quickly, grandma is going to make some new delicious food."
"Grandma, are you going to bring the rooster... here and kill it?"
After all, it was Honglian, who was worthy of being Su Nuannuan's confidant. As soon as she heard her master's words, she guessed what she wanted to do. Sure enough, Su Nuannuan nodded expressionlessly and said, "That's right, bring it here, and I will kill it myself."
"oh……"
Siping suddenly regained consciousness and realized that his master was in a bad situation. He was about to go out to inform his master when he saw Su Nuannuan turned around and sneered at him, saying indifferently: "What? Siping, what's wrong?"
"Ah... um... well, there is something..." Siping made a bitter face, hoping that the grandmother would let him go to report the news to the master.
"You are not allowed to go out even if you have something to do." How could Su Nuannuan let this guy succeed? With just one sentence, all hope of Siping was cut off.
"Then why are you asking?" Siping couldn't help but retort with strong resentment, but Su Nuannuan smiled proudly and said, "That's the effect I want. Humph! I'll kill you if I don't make fun of you."
Siping held his forehead weakly and muttered softly: "Grandpa is cunning and grandma is unruly. You two are really a couple made in heaven."
"Hmm? What did you say, you killer?" Su Nuannuan took the kitchen knife and the rooster handed over by Honglian, and compared the kitchen knife in front of Si Ping, scaring the servant so much that he jumped away and said repeatedly: "It's nothing, it's just that I was talking nonsense."
"Hmph!" Su Nuannuan ignored him. Seeing Cong'er bringing a stool, she sat down with the rooster and the kitchen knife. Sure enough, after a while, Duan Tingxuan appeared outside the door with a folding fan in his hand and a dashing posture. Su Nuannuan sneered and chopped off the rooster's head with a knife. Unexpectedly, the rooster was so mighty and domineering that it struggled hard at the critical moment, and the knife passed by its mouth, missing the target.
This was naturally Su Nuannuan's deliberate letting go. She noticed the rooster's fierce struggle, and its powerful legs and wings actually exerted some of the strength of an eagle. Duan Tingxuan happened to have just walked in, so she pretended to let go. After a scream of "Ah!", the rooster fluttered and flew towards the unsuspecting young marquis.
Duan Tingxuan hid outside for a long time. Seeing that Siping was not beaten out and Chunfeng Garden was peaceful, he felt relieved. He thought to himself that Nuannuan might have finally learned how to be a wife and she didn't intend to embarrass me too much. I had to accept her favor.
Thinking of this, he became excited. He saw a clump of hibiscus trees in full bloom nearby. He thought that if Su Nuannuan had such a flower in her hair, wouldn't it make her look more beautiful? And it would also make him look kind and gentle to women. So he immediately plucked a few large flowers and rushed to Chunfeng Garden excitedly.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a colorful unidentified object flying towards him, making a whooshing sound. The young marquis was startled and screamed, "What is this thing?" Just as he was about to use his eagle claw hand to break its neck first, he heard Su Nuannuan shouting from behind, "Catch it alive, catch it alive."
Duan Tingxuan was feeling guilty at the moment, even if he was arrogant at that time, he would not dare to ignore Su Nuannuan's words. When he heard the words "catch him alive", he wanted to change his tactics, but it was too late. He had to raise his hand and twist his arm abruptly. Well, he almost twisted his shoulder. This change of direction was too sudden.
Su Nuannuan is such a smart person, how could she not know Duan Tingxuan's Kung Fu is powerful. If he doesn't help, wouldn't it be a joke to let him suffer with a rooster? That's why there is the phrase "catch it alive", and sure enough, this phrase played an immeasurable role in this battle between man and rooster. Perhaps it was because of several escapes that the big rooster mastered the escape skills and improved its fighting power. Even under the pursuit and interception of a master like the young marquis, it still fluttered around the yard three times before falling into the net and being locked in the cage again.
Looking at Duan Tingxuan again, he was no longer as carefree and relaxed as usual. His clothes were frayed, his hair was a little messy after being scratched by a chicken claw, and although his face had no scars or blood, it was darker than the bottom of a pot. Seeing the big rooster struggling to survive in the cage, he shouted angrily, "Whose chicken is this that's so fierce? Nuannuan, what are you going to do with it alive?"
"Raise it. The chicken coop of Meiyue Tower is missing a precious hen. If we send it over, even a weasel might come and get away with it."
Su Nuannuan came over and said with a smile, looking at the big rooster with great admiration and praise: "Wow, it's really amazing. Even I suffered under its claws. It is indeed a fighter among roosters."
"Fighting chicken shit." The young marquis who suffered a loss was depressed: "I was caught off guard, and you insisted on keeping me alive, so I fell into its trap. Otherwise, I would have strangled him to death with one hand." At this point, he suddenly reacted and glanced at his wife suspiciously: "Nuannuan, you did it on purpose, didn't you? The reason you kept me alive was actually to make me look bad."
