"shameless!"
Princess Pei secretly scolded Princess Huyang.
"A disrespectful woman, the concubine has only been dead for a long time, and she is messing around outside. I really don't know what to do."
The servant girl Cherry smiled and said: "Everyone in the house is talking about it, saying that the princess got a little husband because of a misfortune."
Mrs. Pei sneered, "Little husband? It's her big spring and autumn dream. Could it be that Huyang thought that the Daihou Mansion would obediently hand over Han Wulang to marry him?"
Cherry said: "But if you don't hand it over, Han Wulang will have to be imprisoned. The servant girl heard that the old lady of the Daihou Mansion loves Han Wulang very much, and she must not be willing to let him be sent to prison."
Pei Shi didn't take it seriously, "Isn't it just sleeping in Huyang, it's a big deal, why go to jail. The prince said this purely to scare the Han family and Huyang."
Cherry looked confused, "Since there is no need to go to jail, why is Han Wulang so frightened?"
Pei smiled, "Because His Majesty has been very angry recently, if this matter is not handled properly, His Majesty may order them to be sent to the palace to serve."
ah
Cherry was shocked.
Nibbling is the place for eunuchs.
Cherry asked cautiously: "Will Han Wulang, the majestic son of the Marquis, be sent to nibble too?"
Pei laughed lightly, "He won't be sent to nibble, His Majesty will at least give the Daihou Mansion a face. However, this is also the most difficult part of this matter.
If Han Wulang was just an ordinary person, he could kill or cut him at will. But he happens to be the son of the Hou family, he can't be killed or eunuched, so what can he do
You can't sleep in vain Princess Huyang. Then I had to marry the princess of Huyang.
But the Daihou's Mansion will not give in easily. Just wait and see, Princess Huyang must still suffer.
A man in the Daihou's Mansion was harmed, and he was also the grandson of the old lady's favorite, how could the Daihou's Mansion just let it go.
Even if Han Wulang is to be handed over, he will first take off a layer of Huyang Princess. "
The maid Cherry was frightened, "I don't know what the Daihou Mansion will do."
Pei smiled, "Don't ask the Pei family, the Pei family will not handle this mess for them."
…
Up and down the Daihou Mansion, the atmosphere was dignified.
The servants dare not make a sound when they walk, for fear of being hit by a board.
Gu Mei supported her big belly, glanced at Han Wulang, who was kneeling on the ground, without the radiant spirit of the past, and said to herself: You deserve it, you deserve it.
Calling you a prostitute every day, telling you to be greedy and lustful, hooking up with big girls and young wives all day long, this time you kicked the iron plate.
Is it really easy to be bullied when you are the princess of Huyang
Even if Princess Huyang is easy to bully, King Ning behind him is not a good one.
From now on, it's up to me to see how you make waves.
The old lady of the Daihou Mansion is surnamed Pei, and Princess Pei still calls her aunt.
The old lady had already been angry for a while, now she calmed down a little, and sighed again and again.
She said to Daihou: "Master Hou, hurry up and think of a way to prevent Wulang from marrying the princess of Huyang. Huyang doesn't obey women's morals, it's not enough to harm the Chen family, but also to harm our Han family. It's really deceiving people too much."
Daihou's facial features are tough and his complexion is dark. At first glance, he looks like he has been in the military all year round.
If it wasn't for Han Wulang's accident, he should be training in the barracks instead of dealing with such bad things.
Dai Hou said angrily: "You bastard, I remind you again and again on weekdays, don't mess around.
Not only did you not listen to what your father said, but you even got entangled with Princess Huyang even more. The princess of the royal family is also someone you can get your hands on
Princess Huyang, she is a princess first, and a woman second. You thought you could get out of it as easily as in the past, but in the end, it will take you all your life.
Seeing that this matter has spread all over the capital, maybe His Majesty has already heard the news.
Tomorrow morning, my father will enter the palace to make an apology for you. You bastard, look at what you have done, it is better to apologize with death, so as not to implicate the whole family. "
"You bastard, are you going to kill Wulang? You might as well kill the old man first." The old lady beat Daihou with a cane.
Daihou called his son an asshole, and the old lady called her son an asshole.
Sure enough, it's retribution, retribution for retaliation.
Daihou was annoyed, "Mother, what time is it now, and you are still protecting him. Shouldn't he be taught a lesson for causing such a disaster? He should also provoke people from the royal family. I think he owes a lesson."
"You are the one who owes a lesson." The old lady was furious, and she didn't show any face to the Marquis.
Daihou said angrily: "Mother insists on doing this, so my son doesn't care about it. Let this kid marry Huyang Princess and become Huyang's son-in-law."
"You bastard, Wulang is your own son. Do you have the heart for him to be spoiled by that bad woman in Huyang?" The old lady was furious.
Dai Hou gritted his teeth, "Mother wants me to do something, it's fine. First let my son beat up that bastard Wu Lang."
The old lady pointed at him, "You, you..."
Daihou will never give in, and Goro just needs to be beaten.
The old lady had no choice but to grit her teeth, "Okay, okay, I can't control you anymore. You hit, you beat Goro to death."
Dai Hou immediately ordered, "Come here, drag the fifth young master down and beat him hard."
"Grandma, grandma, help!" Han Wulang cried and shouted.
The old lady was heartbroken, but turned her head away cruelly.
Han Wulang was dragged down, and soon there was a crackling sound of hitting the board.
Mrs. Daihou rubbed her brows and said, "I don't want to have a daughter-in-law like Huyang. Wulang is really going to marry the princess of Huyang, and I must be pissed off. Lord Hou, think of a way, what should I do about this matter?" Do? Can you cancel this marriage? "
Daihou asked Han Dalang, "What is your attitude when you look at King Ning?"
Han Dalang said succinctly, "King Ning and the princess will not let Wulang go. Those two servants are King Ning's people, and they sent someone to monitor Wulang."
"Then what should we do? If you really want Wulang to marry the princess of Huyang, you can pretend that you never gave birth to this son." Mrs. Daihou said angrily.
Daihou thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow I will enter the palace to find out what His Majesty is saying. Dalang's daughter-in-law, this Marquis remembers that you are sisters with Mrs. Zhao of Prince Ning's Mansion."
Gu Mei was stunned for a moment, she didn't want her to stand out.
She has a big belly to remind everyone that she is a big belly woman and she is going to give birth soon.
She said: "Mrs. Zhao and I are indeed sisters."
The Marquis Dai ordered: "Find a chance and ask Mrs. Zhao, what is the attitude of the palace? Is there any room for change? You can give money or things."
"This?"
Gu Mei was very embarrassed.
Mrs. Dai Hou and the old lady came out together, pulling Gu Mei to do ideological work.
Gu Mei was really embarrassed.
…
Gu Jiu was a little surprised when he received the invitation from the Hou Mansion.
It's not the year or the festival, why did the Hou Mansion issue an invitation card
When she opened the invitation, she realized that it was Mrs. Xiao Wei's birthday.
Because it's not a whole life, I don't plan to make a big deal. Only close family members are invited to Fuchu to drink.
Gu Jiu accepted the invitation and asked the servants to reply, and then she would go over to drink the birthday wine on time.
Then, she asked Qingmei to draw up a gift list.
The servant came to report, "Madam, Wangfei invites you to go over."
"What happened?"
"Miss Chen Min has a stomachache. She said she ate something bad. Princess Huyang suspects that there is something wrong with the food in the kitchen. The princess asked Madam to ask her."
Gu Jiu sneered, "If you don't eat early, you will spoil your stomach, and if you don't eat late, you will spoil your stomach, but my wife has eaten badly when she was ordered to take care of the kitchen. Come, come with me to the guest house. Miss Chen Min eats bad food I have to go over to see my belly, because of emotion and reason.”
Gu Jiu brought people to the guest house.
An imperial physician has already prescribed medicine to Chen Min.
Gu Jiu asked the servants of the guest house, "Where is the princess?"
"The Princess Princess is in the Chunhe Hall."
Gu Jiu asked again: "How is Miss Chen's condition?"
"I just took the medicine and it's better."
Gu Jiu skipped over the servants and walked into the bedroom to visit Chen Min.
Chen Min was lying on the bed, a small person with thin cheeks.
During this period of time, the little girl also experienced many things, but she also suffered when she grew up.
"Why is my cousin here?"
Chen Min sat up from the bed.
Gu Jiu hurriedly took two steps forward, holding her hand, "How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
At the same time, Gu Jiu calmly checked Chen Min's pulse.
Chen Min nodded, "After taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, I feel better."
Gu Jiu took out a handkerchief and wiped Chen Min's cheeks, "What did the imperial doctor say?"
"The imperial doctor said that I ate bad food, which is why I have unbearable abdominal pain. But it's not serious. Ah, cousin, I don't mean to blame you. Although you are in charge of the kitchen, I know that this time I ate bad food, it must be Not your responsibility."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Thank you, sister Min, for your understanding. In the end, it's because of my poor management. By the way, what did you eat today? How could it hurt your stomach?"
Chen Min reported the name of the dish, "Today I ate sweet-scented osmanthus cake, red bean cake, a spring bamboo shoot, and white fungus soup..."
When a list of dishes came up, Nanny Fang knew how good they were, and immediately said, "Your maidservant, go to the kitchen to investigate thoroughly, who has handled these pastries and meals."
Gu Jiu said, "Bring Rong Xin, Huang Zhuo, and let them help you."
Nanny Fang knew well that Madam was worried that she would be bullied, so she specially brought Rong Xin and Huang Zhuo as thugs.
"The servant knows."
Nanny Fang left with her, while Gu Jiu continued to care about Chen Min.
Chen Min did eat something bad.
But it is still uncertain whether the abdominal pain is caused by eating something from the kitchen.
Chen Min timidly asked, "Will my cousin be hurt?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "You can rest easy and recuperate, don't worry about me. I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation. If it is because of poor kitchen management, I will definitely not shirk my responsibility."
"It's embarrassing for my cousin."
"It's time for me to apologize to you. I'm really sorry that you were a guest at the palace, but you ate up your stomach. Take care of me, and I'll go to the princess first."
"Cousin, go slowly."
Gu Jiu led the people to Chunhe Hall.
Princess Pei and Princess Huyang are waiting for her.
When Mrs. Pei met, she asked her: "Why did you come here at this time? I sent someone to call you early in the morning, but you delayed coming until now. Did you not take this princess seriously?"
"Mother and concubine forgive me. Knowing that sister Min has eaten badly, my daughter-in-law is very worried. I hurried to the guest house to visit sister Min, that's why I came late."
Princess Huyang's eyeballs rolled around, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, the business is important."
Pei Shi listened to it, but she still kept a straight face and said to Gu Jiu: "You have a reason for the incident, so this princess doesn't care about your late arrival.
After Chen Min ate the food cooked in the kitchen, she suffered severe abdominal pain. The imperial doctor checked that it was because her stomach was damaged by eating.
You are in charge of taking care of the kitchen, but something like this happened. The princess has to doubt whether you have the ability to take care of the kitchen. If you can't do it, then hand over the errand and let those who can live there. "
Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, she knew it would be like this.
She turned the kitchen upside down, and even the Pei family was ashamed, losing five useful people.
It's normal for Mrs. Pei to hate her.
It was expected that Mrs. Pei would find an excuse to take away her right to take care of the kitchen. But they didn't expect that the Pei family would join forces with Huyang Princess and use Chen Min to achieve their goals.
Gu Jiu was puzzled, the Pei family had always looked down on Princess Huyang, why did the aunt and sister-in-law join forces to deal with her all of a sudden.
After thinking about it carefully, she did not offend Princess Huyang.
However, Princess Huyang is a typical ungrateful person for the sake of money. It is possible to sacrifice Chen Min's health for a little money.
Gu Jiu raised her head and said loudly, "Returning to the mother and concubine, the daughter-in-law is certainly capable of taking care of the kitchen. It can be said that in the whole house, except for the mother and concubine, only the daughter-in-law can take care of the kitchen."
What a big tone.
Gu Jiu didn't care about other people's gazes, and continued: "Since my daughter-in-law took over the kitchen, the kitchen has been organized up and down, which not only saves money, but also completes the daily meals with quality and quantity. Not to mention, raiding Mrs. Zhu and others to add more food to the mansion." A profit of tens of thousands of taels."
The owner of Huyang County yelled at Gu Jiu, "Daughter-in-law, you keep saying that you keep the kitchen in order, but my family, Minmin, clearly suffers from stomach pains because of the food in the kitchen. How do you explain this? Min If Min eats a bad stomach, it proves that under your care, the kitchen is full of filth and dirt, which is extremely unbearable."
Gu Jiu said: "Sister Min has a bad stomach, this matter is quite strange. So I have ordered someone to thoroughly investigate the kitchen, and I think there should be results."
The owner of Huyang County looked at Mrs. Pei.
Pei immediately said angrily: "Whether there is something wrong or not, there is a problem with the kitchen under your care. I think you are still in charge of the kitchen, let others take care of it."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, and then asked: "Mother and concubine, if the daughter-in-law is not qualified to manage the kitchen, who is qualified? Could it be the second sibling? Or the fourth sibling? Why not invite the fourth sibling and ask her if she is willing to take over the kitchen?" .”
How could the power that fell into her hands be let go.
Gu Jiu didn't fight with others, it doesn't mean that she will give up what she got.
Power is like a hill, if you don't occupy it, others will. After others occupy the top of the mountain, they will step on you in turn and drive you into the abyss.
This is true of the imperial court, and so is the palace.
Pei sneered, "Qin'er is naturally willing to take over the kitchen."
Gu Jiu laughed, "I think it's better for Concubine Mu to ask first."
Pei stared at Gu Jiu suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, "Come on, please invite the Fourth Madam."
Gu Jiu said again: "In addition, please allow me to find out about sister Min's bad stomach. If the problem really lies in the kitchen, I will naturally take responsibility and I will never shirk it."
"This princess will give you a chance."
Nanny Fang brought many women from the kitchen to Chunhe Hall.
"Princess Qi, princess, madam, everything Miss Min eats and drinks today is handled by these people."
"The cakes made by the servants are absolutely fine. Not only Miss Min ate the cakes, but also several other girls. Now only Miss Min has a stomachache, so it's not a problem with the cakes."
"The white fungus soup made by the servant is also fine. The second lady and the third lady ate the same pot of white fungus soup, and there is no problem..."
Everyone chattered and said that there was no problem with what they made.
Nanny Fang brought up all the food Chen Min had eaten.
"Princess Qi, the servants have tasted these foods, and there is no abdominal pain at present. You can also ask the imperial physician to come and check. From this, it can be seen that the problem does not lie in the kitchen."
The master of Huyang County said angrily: "Of course there will be no problem with self-examination. Who would admit that there is something wrong with the cakes and meals I made? Poor my family, Minmin, who went to the palace as a guest, but ended up with a bad stomach and had to lie in bed for several days .”
"Don't worry, princess, I will give you an explanation."
Gu Jiu stood up and walked towards the cooks, "You all made these today, is there any problem?"
"I promise there is no problem. We are also at a loss as to why Ms. Chen has a bad stomach."
Gu Jiu clapped his hands, and a servant brought in the leftovers from Chen Min's meal, and put them away one by one.
She turned around and said to Mrs. Pei and Princess Huyang, "Fortunately, Sister Min still kept the leftovers. I'll ask some cooks to identify and identify which dish is wrong."
The cooks followed the instructions and identified Chen Min's leftover meals and cakes.
Nothing else was found to be a problem, only the cook who made the white fungus soup, smelled it again and again, and even tasted it.
She suddenly said: "This white fungus soup is too sweet. The white fungus soup made by slaves never put so much sugar."
"Aside from being too sweet, are there any other problems?"
The cook thought for a while, "It's still a bit rough, and I can't tell the specific slaves."
Princess Huyang asked: "Could it be that the problem lies in this bowl of white fungus soup?"
