When the second wife came out of the old lady's yard, she felt as if there was a huge stone blocking her chest.
She should have felt relieved to hand over the housekeeping power, but who would have thought that the old lady didn't even say a polite word to keep her, and just took the keys and account books.
She suddenly felt as if the old lady had been waiting for her to hand over the housekeeping power.
The Second Master looked at the Second Madam's unhappy face and felt a little sorry for her. "Forget it, it's tiring to manage this family. If you hand it over, you won't have to worry about those trivial matters, and you can relax a little."
The second master knew what she was feeling. To be honest, his mother's behavior just now made him feel a little disheartened, not to mention his wife who had been working so hard.
"Well, let's stop talking and go back." Although the Second Madam felt uncomfortable, she did not continue to dwell on it. Anyway, it had nothing to do with her in the future.
After arriving at her own room and sitting for a while, the second lady asked the maid to bring her paper and pen.
"Madam, what are you going to write?" Siyu asked curiously as she put paper and pen in place.
The lady just came back from the old lady's yard, and she looked quite depressed. But now that she mentioned holding paper and pen, she seemed much better.
"Write a letter to the Crown Prince's wife." The Second Lady was a little depressed, but she couldn't help but express herself. Thinking that she hadn't written to Xia Tian for a long time, she decided to write a letter to tell him about the situation in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion.
When Chen Ke got married this time, Chen Nian didn't express anything and didn't even send a word back. It can be seen that he no longer has any brotherly feelings for Chen Ke.
The Second Madam also felt relieved by this, and she was waiting to see what kind of trouble Chen Ke and Liu Jin'er could stir up in the mansion.
Xia Tian knew nothing about what was happening in Wu'an Marquis Mansion. She was busy preparing for the opening of the braised food shop with Xia Yang.
"Brother, have you set the date?" Xia Tian asked Xia Yang while eating braised chicken feet.
"It's settled, June 29th, an auspicious day!" Xia Yang looked at Xia Tian's protruding belly and replied with a smile.
She has been pregnant for more than four months and her appetite has improved a lot recently. Although the weather is hot, she can't stop eating and always wants to eat.
Recently, Cuiling has also made a lot of braised snacks according to her recipes, which is a good opportunity to try them out.
"That won't be long." Xia Tian took another bite of the chicken feet and said, "Brother, try this braised dish. We made it a little spicier, so it's more suitable for the taste of people in Linzhou."
Seeing that she was eating with gusto, Xia Yang also took a bite and said, "Ahem! This is too spicy!"
Xia Yang felt so spicy that he was sizzling and quickly drank a large glass of cold water to feel better.
"Is this spicy?" Xia Tian was a little confused.
She felt it was normal. It should be similar to the Hunan cuisine she had before, right?
"Don't you think it's spicy?" Xia Yang's face wrinkled. The bite just now made him feel hot all over his mouth. Even after drinking so much water, his throat still felt hot and burning.
"You guys try it too, is it really that spicy?" Xia Tian called Ningxiang and the others.
A few people tried it and started coughing because of the spiciness.
"Madam, this is really spicy!" Ningxue quickly drank half a glass of water to relieve the heat. "Looking at how delicious your wife was eating, I thought it wasn't that spicy!"
"That's right, how much chili did Cui Ling put in it?" Cui Yun also couldn't stand the spiciness.
Cuiling had tasted it a long time ago and almost choked to death when she made it herself. But her wife still complained that it was not spicy enough, so she had to add more chili peppers.
"Madam said it tastes just right!" Cui Ling muttered.
Anyway, she didn't dare to taste it after it was made, thinking that she couldn't eat spicy food!
Xia Tian looked at Ningxiang and the others and felt that it was very spicy, and suddenly thought, could it really be because it was too spicy?
Thinking that Ningxiang and the others grew up in the capital, it was normal that they couldn't handle spicy food, so he ordered someone to go to the kitchen, "Call Sister Fu and Aunt Fu. They are from Linzhou. Let them taste it and see if it's spicy."
After Aunt Fu and Sister-in-law Fu tried it and thought it was delicious and the spiciness was acceptable, Xia Tian realized that it was not just her taste that was spicy, but that everyone in Linzhou liked spicy food.
"Brother, prepare the braised food according to this level of spiciness. Also prepare some less spicy ones. People in Linzhou probably like spicy food."
Anyway, the store hasn't opened yet. Since we are opening a store in Linzhou, we have to cater to the tastes of Linzhou people.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Although Xia Yang felt it was too spicy to eat, since people in Linzhou liked it, he naturally had no objection.
June 29th soon arrived, and Xia Yang went to the nearest store early.
He did not open both stores at the same time, but opened them at auspicious times in the morning and afternoon.
The main reason was that he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of it if he was not in the store.
Xia Tian is pregnant now, so he doesn't dare to ask her to keep an eye on her.
The only way is to stagger the running.
He has been staying in the governor's residence these days. In the summer, he will study braised food, and he has been learning it seriously. These are the foundations for whether his shop can survive. Although his business is bigger now, the secret recipe still needs to be in his own hands.
Xia Tian also got up early and packed up. Chen Nian didn't go because he had something to do. The main reason was that Chen Nian was the governor now, and it was not easy for him to appear directly at the opening ceremony of the braised food store. But there would be no problem if Xia Tian went.
"There may be a lot of people opening today. You must protect the lady and don't let anyone disturb her." Chen Nian instructed Ningxiang and the others before leaving.
I’m mainly worried about getting pregnant in the summer, and it would be bad if I got squeezed.
Shen Nian went to the yamen, had breakfast in the summer, and then prepared to go out.
Anyway, there is still time to leave Zhang, so she doesn't need to go so early.
After she slowly walked out of the door, she met Mrs. Cao, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Wang after just a few steps.
The three ladies came together, and when they saw Xia Tian, they immediately came over with a smile.
“Oh, Madam Shen, you didn’t even tell us about such a happy event.” Madam Cao joked first.
"We just heard the news too. Fortunately it's not too late." Mrs. Li also agreed with a smile.
Xia Tian was a little confused by what the two said. After listening to a few sentences, he realized that they knew that Xia Yang's braised food store was opening today and they came to congratulate him.
"Oh, you are too polite, ladies." Xia Tian quickly smiled and said politely, "Today is my eldest brother's shop opening, not mine. Why should I trouble you ladies with such a small matter?"
"Oh, we have such a good relationship. I heard that your eldest brother's braised food shop is the best. We must go to support him, right?" Mrs. Cao exaggeratedly threw her handkerchief and smiled like a flower.
Seeing that they were indeed going to show their support today, Xia Tian didn't hesitate any longer. "Then I would like to thank the three ladies for their support on behalf of my eldest brother."
"Okay, don't be polite, let's go over there quickly!" Mrs. Cao called them.
She was the oldest among them, so she took the lead in greeting a few people.
Mrs. Cao and her companions had originally come here in a carriage, but in order to show their close relationship, they all got on Xia's carriage.
The few of them chatted and laughed all the way and soon arrived at the door of the braised food shop.
