Shi Qianshuang was looking forward to it in her heart, but she said:
"No need, it won't help if we go there."
Meng Li sighed: "Anyway, I should give it a try."
Shi Qianshuang didn't say much, so he acquiesced. After Meng Li had washed up, he took Meng Li out to eat a bowl of Chaos. Chaos from a street stall was the client's favorite food in the morning.
It is also because the client loves to eat that the restaurant has become famous. After all, the county magistrate's daughter often visits, so many people like it.
After eating Huan Chaos, Shi Qianshuang took Meng Li to buy some pastries. This pastry shop was very famous. He said that his ancestor was the imperial chef. The taste was really good. Of course, the price was correspondingly expensive and ordinary people couldn't afford it.
But they were okay. After all, they were from the county magistrate's family. They bought a lot and took them home. Meng Li saw that she bought large and small bags of various flavors and asked:
"Can we eat all this?"
"And the price is really high."
I don’t eat much on weekdays, so it’s considered a luxury in the county.
Shi Qianshuang glanced at Meng Li and said, "Of course I can't finish it. This is sent to her, so she can choose whatever flavor she likes."
Buying more would prevent her from saying she was stingy in front of Liu Ruiguang.
Meng Li pondered for a moment and said:
"Mom, we'd better buy less things for her. We can give her more money and let her buy it herself. Don't cause any problems."
Shi Qianshuang said dullly:
"I really wanted to pick it off, but your grandmother told me this morning that I had to go out anyway, so she asked me to buy it back."
Meng Li said oh.
This grandmother really doesn't distinguish between priorities. She lets the wife buy things for her concubine, and there are no servants in the family to run errands.
I don’t know what An’s heart is.
Probably it was Shi Qianshuang's docile personality that allowed her grandmother to do this.
"Mom has to learn to say no in the future. There are servants in the family." Meng Li said.
"Then your grandmother will definitely give me a slap in the face." Shi Qianshuang said worriedly.
Meng Li: "We don't care about her."
Human beings don't think about bullying people who are easy to bully all day long. They are better at bullying people who are easy to bully.
Back in the mansion, Shi Qianshuang hesitated and said to Meng Li:
"You pick something you like to eat first."
Meng Li smiled and picked some mung beans, red dates, and pear flavors. In fact, these were Shi Qianshuang's favorite foods. When she saw them, she said with some emotion:
"My daughter has grown up."
Meng Li smiled, and Shi Qianshuang asked his servants to send the remaining pastries to his grandmother.
Anyway, she would go there to see Liu Congdie every day, so even if she brought pastries there, she would not be empty-handed.
During lunch, Meng Li, Shi Qianshuang and his grandmother sat together to eat. Nowadays, this family does not advocate equality for everyone, so Liu Congdie, as a concubine, cannot eat together.
Some old social rules are still retained.
The old god grandmother was sitting on the ground. Meng Li called out politely before serving the table: "Grandma."
She nodded, and when the servants brought the food, she didn't move her chopsticks. She didn't move, so Meng Li and Shi Qianshuang naturally couldn't move.
She was probably thinking about something. After a moment of silence, she said:
"The pastries, Congdie said the snow pear tastes good, so don't buy any other flavors next time."
Shi Qianshuang's expression changed. What did the old lady say? Why did she feel uncomfortable listening to it.
Is she, Liu Congdie, the only one who deserves to eat it
Meng Li said:
"Grandma, what do you mean? You mean we can only eat snow pear flavor at home?"
Grandma nodded and said:
"The price of their pastries is a bit high. I usually only dare to buy a small amount to satisfy my craving. But Congdie's situation is different. What I mean is, in order to save money, just buy it for her alone. We want to eat. Just eat something normal.”
"I heard from my servant today that you bought a lot of pastries. Now that the situation is unstable, it's better to save a little in case of emergencies." She took a deep look at Shi Qianshuang.
She felt that Shi Qianshuang was still ignorant at her age and asked her to buy it, but she bought just that much.
Shi Qianshuang: "..."
Anyway, it's very sad, why can I find faults no matter what I do
If she bought less, it should be said that she bought less.
Buy every flavor so you can know what flavor she likes, right
As a biological granddaughter, Meng Li was not as cautious when speaking as Shi Qianshuang. She looked at her grandmother and said:
"Grandma was right, so my granddaughter suggested that we eat vegetarian food for three meals in the future."
"What?" The old lady looked at Meng Li. This girl was always very sharp-tongued. What did she want to do
Meng Li said: "Actually, none of us have any special circumstances. We can just eat a normal meal. But Aunt Liu should be treated well. Let's eat less and save the money for her to spend."
"What are you talking about?" The old lady felt that her granddaughter's words seemed to be ironic and sarcastic.
But look at her serious look...
"This way our expenses will not exceed. If we live the same life as before, plus Aunt Liu's side, it will definitely exceed. In the long run, we will have to use our savings to maintain our lives." Meng Li had an innocent expression on his face. Evil, one group sincerely considers the family.
But it sounds funny. Since he wants to marry a concubine, and the whole family has to save money to support her, it will be a joke if word spreads. It depends on what the old lady thinks.
After all, what she meant before was to let everyone eat more ordinary food so that she could save money for the concubine and let her eat more special food.
"Eh..." The old lady was silent for a moment and thought about it. It is true that because of this concubine, the family expenses have increased a lot.
Can…
"That won't work."
"We are human beings too, we can't live a bad life just because of her." Obviously the old lady was unwilling to save money for Liu Congdie.
She came to her senses and it wouldn't be nice to hear about this.
How can one grieve a whole family and satisfy one person
What's more, this person is a concubine after all. In fact, it's not a concubine who cares about her. She just cares about the child in her belly.
When the old lady said this, Meng Li looked disapproving and said:
"But there's only so much money. If we eat it, won't Aunt Liu eat less?"
"How much can she eat as a woman? Besides, our family is not that poor. We can still afford some food." The old lady looked at Meng Li angrily:
"You little girl, don't get into trouble all day long. No matter what happens, I won't be able to deprive you of your food."
Meng Li snorted and said helplessly:
"Oh well."
Grandma was not in a good mood, so she picked up her chopsticks and started to pick up the vegetables, and ate with her head down. Shi Qianshuang stood silently on the side and also followed the meal. After a while, grandma raised her head and looked at Shi Qianshuang and said:
"If you are free tomorrow, go to the temple on my behalf to ask the Bodhisattva to bless the safety of her unborn child."
Shi Qianshuang: "..."
Meng Li: "..."
Did this old lady do it on purpose
It felt like she was fine just to kill Shi Qian Shuang's heart.
