Chapter 262: Let go of personal qualities and enjoy a bad life.
The old woman ignored her flattering smile: "Add another dish of rice dumplings with fermented rice wine, which the old lady ordered just now."
"Yes."
Rong was an old lady by the side of old lady Zhu. She usually relied on her master's favor and was very good at showing disdain to the servants under her.
Usually, the little maids were sent to deliver messages, but there were not enough people at the temple fair, so many were sent out.
She couldn't find anyone for a while, so she had to make this trip herself.
"When will it be ready? If it's soon, I'll take it away directly."
The cook could read her face, and seeing that she was impatient, she hurriedly said: "Except for the rice dumplings with fermented rice, the fish soup is almost done, sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions, and then put it into the stew pot." "
The other dishes are ready, and they have been put into the food box with hot water to keep them warm, so they won't get cold."
The old woman raised her chin: "Okay, I'll send it to the old lady first. As for the rice dumplings with fermented rice..."
She sneered: "I'm busy serving the old lady, and I can't compare to you idle people."
The cook understood, and while serving the fish, she hurriedly said: "How can I let the old sister make another trip? I'll send it to the old lady as soon as I'm done. It's just right that this kind of dessert is eaten after dinner, so I must be able to catch up."
Rong was satisfied, and when she left with the food box, the cook spat.
"Bah, they are all servants, but she is noble, and what good stuff is she."
But no matter how much she scolded, the old lady couldn't do without the rice dumplings with fermented rice, so she hurried to get flour.
Here, Rong Pozi carried a food box into the courtyard of Old Lady Zhu.
After entering the house, she went to the inner room.
After entering the inner room, she pushed the door and walked inside. Inside was Old Lady Zhu's small Buddhist temple. There was a Guanyin inside.
"Old lady, it's time to eat."
"I've looked at it all. It's all your favorite. There's stewed pork elbow, rouge goose breast, honey pickled tofu, and a mushroom fish fillet soup."
While she was talking, Yu Tingwan was pulling the window.
Wei Zhao raised his hand to help her poke a hole in the papered window paper.
Yu Tingwan felt that he was not polite at all, but the next moment, the girl followed suit and poked a hole. She leaned in to look inside.
Old Lady Zhu was kneeling on the futon without opening her eyes. She was very old, with gray hair, but she looked mean.
The girl turned her head and did not forget to cover her mouth and whisper to the man who was standing next to her with a leisurely posture.
"I like to eat too."
Wei Zhao:...
What don't you like?
Old Mrs. Zhu didn't know someone was watching her. She had deep wrinkles between her eyebrows and sighed, "I've been feeling uneasy these days."
The old woman asked behind her, "Are you worried about the eldest son?"
Old Mrs. Zhu turned her Buddhist beads, "I only have one good grandson. Who else should I worry about besides him?"
"It's just that the Zhu family has been doing evil for years."
"I'm afraid of retribution after all."
Her tone was cruel, "But..., as long as I can extend his life, everything is worth it."
"The descendants of our Zhu family are not comparable to those cheap people outside. It's their blessing to use them. Only those ignorant people think they have gained benefits and send their children here one after another."
They abused them.
Afterwards, they still praised the benevolence of their Zhu family.
"But after all, it's an evil magic."
Old Mrs. Zhu: "When they went out today, my eyelids kept twitching. I'm afraid something will happen. Go back and tell them to be more careful after dark. Things in the temple cannot be seen in the light. Don't let others see it. Then the Zhu family will be finished."
Doing good things will be praised by hundreds of families.
But if something goes wrong, it will fall quickly.
The old woman agreed and did not forget to comfort him: "You worry too much, what can happen?"
"The county magistrate was beheaded by the imperial censor sent by the court, and our Zhu family is doing well. "
Old Mrs. Zhu liked to hear this.
"Do you think the money spent over the years was wasted?"
As the two were talking, Yu Tingwan and Wei Zhao had already started eating.
They walked in from the main door.
Yu Tingwan was afraid of being caught on the spot, so she quickly served the rice and prepared to get some dishes to eat outside.
But Wei Zhao sat down as if no one was there and slowly served her a bowl of fish soup.
"Eat slowly if you like."
"Eat slowly, don't rush."
Yu Tingwan, who was standing, hesitated for a moment and sat down beside him.
She took a mouthful of rice.
It was free food, and it smelled pretty good.
Yu Tingwan knew that he was finished.
His bad character would be brought out by Wei Zhao sooner or later.
"But I'm a little scared."
Wei Zhao: "It's just the Zhu family who has committed many sins. What are you afraid of? If you have to be afraid, it should be them."
This... makes sense.
Yu Tingwan drank a mouthful of soup and said: "It's not as good as my mother's."
Wei Zhao: "Indeed ."
Yu Tingwan took another bite of the elbow he picked.
"This is okay."
Wei Zhao: "Eat it for now. When we go to Beijing later, I will take you to Zuizhailou to eat crispy bone fish."
"It's a recipe passed down from our ancestors. The rich fragrance penetrates the fish meat and every bone spur. The bones are crispy and the juice is full."
It's tempting to listen to it. Yu Tingwan swallowed his saliva: "Okay."
Each dish is not large.
When they were full and ready to leave. Yu Tingwan was very kind and polite to clean up.
Old Mrs. Zhu finally bowed to the Buddha sincerely and was helped out by the maid.
There was no sign of outsiders entering the room.
Mrs. Zhu thought she looked elegant and graceful and sat down.
She was indeed hungry.
The maid opened the food box and took out a half-eaten fish soup.
Mrs. Zhu:?
Then there were several plates with only soup in them. And there were used rice bowls and chopsticks that appeared from nowhere.
Mrs. Zhu:? ? ?
She screamed: "Who did it!"
The instigator walked to Mr. Zhu's study at this time.
The door of the study was locked.
Yu Tingwan: "Ah, do you want to find an axe?"
"No."
Wei Zhao: "Lend me the hairpin."
Yu Tingwan didn't know what he was going to do, but she still took it off and handed it to him.
Wei Zhao took it in his hand and turned it casually towards the keyhole.
With a click, it opened.
Yu Tingwan:!!
Wei Zhao put the hairpin back on her and pushed the door open.
The study had everything it should have, even luxurious.
Yu Tingwan looked around, locked onto a few expensive items, and was ready to move the gold ingots on the desk.
Wei Zhao said gently: "Wait for me."
He turned around, and finally stopped on the bookcase, raised his hand to grope, and locked onto a place.
A heavy sound came, and the bookcase moved to the right, and a passage appeared.
Wei Zhao stretched out his hand to Yu Tingwan: "Come."
Yu Tingwan: ! !
The two walked in.
It was a dark room.
There were boxes of gold, silver and jewelry hidden in it.
Yu Tingwan: ! ! !
This, this, this... all hers!
She looked left and right, and couldn't see enough.
Then the girl looked at Wei Zhao.
"You..."
Wei Zhao subconsciously felt that it was not a good thing.
Yu Tingwan: "You have a strong sense of stealing."
She comforted: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a good person either."
Let go of personal qualities and enjoy a bad life.
