Chapter 25: Serving Mother-in-Law

Capital·Jin Mansion·Seven Bedrooms.

"This letter came by chance, and God helped Huang Zhong succeed. Standing at the gate of the camp to deliver the order, the young and old listened to Genmiao: the first drum was used to fight the war, the second drum was used to tighten the shirt, the third drum was unsheathed and the knife was unsheathed, and the four drum handles were

Soldiers are fighting. Everyone who comes forward will be rewarded, but those who retreat will inevitably get a knife. The generals will return to the camp with me, and we will succeed at three quarters of noon tomorrow."

At this time, many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen like to listen to the opera, and even those who can sing but not sing will sing a few lines. When they get up in the morning, they like to let the piano player accompany them to sing their voices. It is said that this can live a long life.

Jin Rong flattered him and said, "Master Qi, how about we hire two piano players to play music every morning?"

Jin Yanxi shook her head, forget it, who wants to get up early and hang their throat!

When Jin Rong saw Jin Yanxi's refusal, he didn't mention it. He thought about finding a few piano players to establish a good relationship with him, so that if one day Jin Yanxi wanted to sing a few lines again, it would be better to be prepared.

Bai Xiuzhu came up and said, "Aren't you going to the Yamen today?"

Jin Yanxi complained: "Only fifty yuan a month, what the hell am I doing? My body is my own when I am tired and vomiting blood."

Bai Xiuzhu said contemptuously: "You are strong enough to pull a cart, but you dare to say that you are not in good health."

Jin Yanxi said: "The inspector doesn't have much work to begin with. I took care of the task force yesterday. I'll have nothing to do today, but I have to go to Liu Baoshan's house for dinner."

Jin Yanxi often doesn't eat at home, but she usually comes back before nine o'clock and doesn't ask Bai Xiuzhu to stay alone in the empty boudoir. After the wedding, the seven rooms also open a party, so you can eat whatever you want without having to go to the room.

After breakfast, the Yanxi couple took another nap. They didn't get up until the afternoon, but they still stayed at home. The weather was still a bit hot. Jin Rong got some big ice cubes and put them in the house. Xiao Lian tried his best.

Make delicious food, sometimes it is iced grapes, sometimes it is watermelon that has been drained from the well, and sometimes it is sour plum soup.

There are different opinions on which sour plum soup in the capital is the best at this time. Taste is a matter of opinion, but the ones that have been written about most by literati are either Xinyuanzhai or Qiujiapu.

In fact, there are three kinds of sour plum soup. The most inferior one is the one sold on the roadside. It is for the poor to quench their thirst and relieve the heat. Even those with a little money will not drink it. Why, because it does not taste good, so if someone says that it is sold on the roadside.

It's basically nonsense to drink a bowl of sour plum soup at a stall and drink it all in one gulp.

The sour plums sold at the stalls are made by boiling sour plums in water, and then adding cold water directly. The good ones will boil it with cold water for you. The bad ones will just add water from the moat to it, and then add some saccharin. Industrial production of saccharin has long started.

Now it is very popular with small traders.

The most important step came. They bought very cheap river ice dregs and threw them directly into the bowl. This was sour plum soup for the poor. Many people got upset and even lost their lives because of drinking this.

The better one is the sour plum soup sold in various dried fruit shops. Although the sour plums are boiled in water, the utilization rate of the sour plums is high, and the ice used should be better, and the sugar should also be regular white sugar.

The best ones are Xinyuanzhai or Qiujiapu. They use water from Yuquan Mountain, boil it, then soak the sour plums in it, filter out all the residue, then add tribute sugar, add some osmanthus and sweet-scented osmanthus, and put it in a jar.

and then put the jar in the ice basin. You will never add ice cubes directly to the sour plum soup.

Xiao Lian brought the jar over, took a small bowl and poured half of it into it. Jin Yanxi took a sip. It was indeed very delicious, with a sour taste, very refreshing, but not so strong that it would make people lose their teeth. The sweetness and the

The floral aroma is just right, and although it is iced, it won’t taste so cold that it will cause toothache.

Of course, only Jin Yanxi's strong physique can enjoy these, while Bai Xiuzhu can only taste them briefly. In fact, this autumn is already very cold for Xiuzhu.

But Bai Xiuzhu is not short of delicious food. Nowadays, big restaurants and big businessmen are very good at protecting customers, especially those in big houses in key areas. Some restaurants often make some small food and snacks for Xiaoliba who runs errands.

Send some to every big house, so that these rich people don't forget about their own restaurants.

However, the food of the Jin family owners is more exquisite. For example, a box of candies given by Jin Yanxi to Jin Meili is worth five yuan. One month's salary of recruiter Fuhai, after deducting food expenses, is not enough to buy this box of candies.

But Jin Yanxi has no way to live such a wealthy life, or she doesn't want to have any way. Look at the gorgeous decorations in the upper room. Black Panther and his three wives are all used to extravagance, and Bai Xiuzhu

, I can’t stand a simple day. In fact, even Jin Yanxi herself has been corrupted by the luxurious life. Just like Tang Ao persuaded Wu Zetian to retire in Jinghuayuan, but Wu Zetian said she couldn’t go back. I’m used to it.

Prosperity and wealth can only be said to be easy to change from frugality to luxury.

……

Beijing·Wangde Tower.

Huaihua followed Jin Yanxi's order and came to treat Bai Jiali to eat roasted sea cucumbers with green onions. The main reason was that she beat Bai Jiali that day, which made Jin Yanxi reflect. During this period, the dandy young master seemed to have entered the role. In fact, he was beaten to death that day.

Rouge Tiger showed signs, but Jin Yanxi didn't notice it. If this continues, who can tell clearly who is leading the consciousness, so Jin Yanxi is determined not to lose her original temperament, and she can't lose herself because of her identity.

Bai Jiali put down her bowls and chopsticks and said, "Sister Huaihua, you'd better come back to the old lady."

Huaihua shook her head and said: "No, Miss Bai is very good to me. Besides, my mother has arranged for Bai Mansion to be properly settled. I will do my best to repay Miss Bai."

In fact, Bai Wenshi has never mentioned Sophora japonica once, because the girls in this mansion are like the ministers of the Jinluan Palace. Once they have been stained, they can no longer be trusted. Sophora japonica is the girl Bai Jingye lost with his own hands, even if she wants to come back again

I will no longer think that she is loyal, reliable and boring.

Huaihua has a clear mind, and using her own mother to make a fuss is really speechless.

Huaihua took out the letter and said: "Master Qi was so impulsive that he hit the girl and felt very guilty. This is a letter to you. I hope you can forgive him."

Bai Jiali opened it and found that there was no apology in the letter, but an analysis of grievances, human nature, and hierarchical rules. At this time, Bai Jiali was still young and her thoughts were not yet settled, so she could still make sense, especially to Jin Yanxi.

Jin Yanxi did not express the truth by complaining, but analyzed it from the perspective of a bystander. Although Yang Jiuhong was humble in the eyes of Baicao Hall, Baicao Hall was equally humble in the eyes of the Prime Minister's Office. If the upper class did not treat the subordinates

When officials treat businessmen as human beings, wouldn’t that be a tragedy for the world?

Huaihua took out the sound box and said: "This is a gift from Master Qi to express my apology. It's late, I should go back."

Bai Jiali nodded subconsciously and didn't come back to her senses until Sophora japonica walked away. She looked at the exquisite music thoughtfully, then gently stroked her cheek that was hurt that day, thinking about who this Jin Yanxi was.

Where are the people?

(Yang Jiuhong: Don’t think about it. If Kun’s face wasn’t so beautiful, would you still be curious about him?)

(Bai Jiali:......)

……

Beijing·Jin Mansion·Shangfang.

At Liu Baoshan's invitation, Jin Yanxi went out to eat. Bai Xiuzhu had dinner alone and suddenly felt bored.

Jin Yanxi's uncharacteristic behavior after the wedding actually made everyone very uncomfortable. This was more obvious than continuing to be a playboy. Although everyone didn't say anything, Bai Xiuzhu still felt her influence on Jin Yanxi.

My family members are a little uncomfortable with it.

It happened that Jin Quan was spending the night in the third aunt's mother-in-law's room every day these days, so Bai Xiuzhu followed Wang Yufen's suggestion and went to the room alone to accompany Jin's mother and please her mother-in-law.

Walking into the upper room, Bai Xiuzhu saw the girl Xiaohong kneeling aside to wash the feet of the Golden Mother. Xiuzhu had an idea and made a silent gesture and waved Xiaohong away. After that, Xiuzhu squatted down and washed the Golden Mother's feet.

Come on.

The golden mother chanted: "Mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy..."

Jinmu closed her eyes tightly, twisting the beads in her hand, and still murmuring words. She felt her feet were being wiped dry and didn't notice anything. She didn't think much about it and just enjoyed Bai Xiuzhu's foot massage.

The golden mother scolded: "If it's heavier, it's like scratching an itch."

When Bai Xiuzhu heard this, she didn't have any unnecessary reaction. She just moved her kneeling body forward. After deciding on a suitable position, she hugged Jin Mu's feet and pressed them hard. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pressed them peacefully for a long time.

Yes.

Jin's mother did not embarrass Xiuzhu anymore, but when she took her feet back from her arms, she found that the person serving her was actually Bai Xiuzhu. This shocked Jin's mother, and she quickly helped Xiuzhu stand up, but Xiuzhu took her mother-in-law's

Put your feet down, put on your shoes and socks, and then got up and sat on the sofa nearby.

The Golden Mother called Xiaohong in again, took away the copper basin, and went out to pour water.

Jin Mu said in a panic: "Oh, it's Xiuzhu. Come, come, sit, sit, sit. I thought it was that girl Xiaohong. I'm really embarrassed. I'm sorry."

Bai Xiuzhu said humbly: "This is what a daughter-in-law should do. It is my blessing to be able to serve my mother-in-law like this."

Jin's mother said: "But how dare you do this? If you are wronged in the Jin family, let alone your brother, even Yanxi will not agree."

Bai Xiuzhu expressed her position: "I know Yan Xi has changed a lot for me, but this was all done by him on his own initiative, not my original intention. I really didn't ask him to do anything."

Mother Jin understood: "I understand that Yanxi's changes are all his own reasons. My son, I understand Yanxi's character. If he doesn't want to sit down, no one can force him. Besides, even if it's because of you,

The influence is also a change for the better. It’s too late for me to be happy, so why should I blame you? So don’t pay attention to the rumors outside. My father and I don’t believe it at all.”

Bai Xiuzhu said happily: "Thank you, Mom."

(Jin Yanxi: That’s not what you said yesterday.)

(Golden Mother: I gave birth to seven of you, plus four daughters-in-law. This is the first person to wash my feet. Of course you have to be partial.)
