Chapter 421 Pretending to be puzzled

As the owner of the fragrance-smelling space, Gu Qingling, in addition to learning various fragrance products in the space, doesn’t mind taking some time to satisfy her stomach.
The things watered from the spiritual spring are quite different from the ordinary things outside.
Gu Qingling was able to maintain her body so well, but she was "eat" the good things she grew in the space.
She had eaten well herself, and she didn't mind that some of them would occasionally come out in the gaps between her fingers, picking up some of them and putting them into the fruits and vegetables transported from the farm, and letting someone give them to her daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
However, Gu Qingling didn't dare to do too much, for fear that she would attract other people's attention if she did it too much.
"The old lady sent it?"
When Mrs. Yao Er tasted it, she found that today's melon was particularly crispy and her eyes suddenly lit up.
The eldest maid Qiuhe laughed: "Yes, madam, I just sent it this morning. I specially picked up what you like and asked someone to cut it and send it to you."
"Then you have to eat more carefully. The fruits and fruits produced in the old lady's village are very delicious. I am used to it and don't want to eat from other families." After saying that, Mrs. Yao second thought of several sons and daughters again, and asked Qiuhe if she had left them.
The eldest maid Qiuhe: "Madam, don't worry, every time I follow your old rules, I keep them for you all. Even Master Yu and Master Zhou, I have to keep them, but they are still young, and the responsible nanny doesn't allow you to eat too much, and there are a few spoons of them at a meal."
"They are still young, and they can just taste the flavors. When they get older, they will eat them by themselves. By the way, did Brother Hong come here today?"
"Come here."
"Remember to send him a copy of the past. His teeth are growing now, and it's time to be greedy."
"Madam, don't worry, most of the fruits are eaten by Master Hong, and the rest are those of Mr. Yu and Mr. Zhou, and there is no waste at all." It means telling Mrs. Yao Er that no one dares to steal the fruits sent by the old lady, and they are eaten by several masters themselves.
As he was talking, a servant came to report that Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao San were here.
Mrs. Yao quickly asked someone to invite them in.
When they saw Mrs. Yao Er eating melon seeds, they laughed.
"Second sister-in-law, you gave this fruit from the old lady, right?"
"Yes, it was just delivered today, it was very fresh. I'll ask the maid to cut one for you."
"Then I'll trouble my second sister-in-law. You can tell at a glance that it must have been delivered by the old lady from the village, and it looks better than the ones elsewhere." Mrs. Yao San said with a smile, "As soon as the old lady came, I ate two of them, almost stuffed my stomach and didn't want to use breakfast."
"One, I, if I hadn't asked the maid to help me with it and eat it more carefully, I would probably have used it as breakfast."
...
While eating the fruit, Mrs. Yao Er took out the pigeon chess and started playing with them.
When they didn't have this thing before, they stayed in their own yards and wouldn't get together even if they had nothing to do.
Later, the magistrate's wife came to the house occasionally, and they had more opportunities to get together. Then they had pigeon chess, and one day they didn't get together to play a few games, and they felt so nervous.
In addition to playing by themselves, the maids and servants below will also play for a few while they are resting.
As long as the people below do the work they should do, Mrs. Yao also thinks that she doesn't know and turns a blind eye like the old lady, and forget it.
Of course, if she delayed her work, she confiscated the pigeon chess without saying a word and told her that anyone would dare to take that person to play together.
In this way, the people below dare not be lucky.
"I heard that the old lady hopes that Jackie Chan has been doing business recently. Many people go to her shop to buy pigeon chess. I guess there are so many pairs in the family in Jinling now." Mrs. Yao Er said, "You guys, are they like us, and they gather together to play so many games?"
"I heard it too," said Mrs. Yao San, "Sanlang is running outside. Someone asked him about pigeon chess and wanted Saburo to pull the line and do the pigeon chess business."
Mrs. Yao: "Then have you told the old lady about this?"
Mrs. Yao San: "I said that Sanlang had reported to the old lady before. The old lady gave Sanlang money, and the matter below was taken over by the manager."
"Okay, the old lady's reward is so generous. I've wanted it long ago. What a pity..." Mrs. Yao sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have the good luck of your Saburo."
Mrs. Yao San covered her mouth and smiled: "Second sister-in-law, don't ruin me. Which Jinling family doesn't know about your Baixiang Pavilion and auction house? My Sanlang dares to follow the old lady and sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to have some soup."
"That little thing I am still exposed in the cracks of the old lady's fingers? So I said, the person we really should please is the old lady," Mrs. Yao turned her head and asked Mrs. Yao, "You said yes, sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Yao's eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled without revealing her eyes: "Why isn't it? Who is not picking up the things exposed in the old lady's fingers for dinner? Whoever dares to run to the old lady and say that I must admire her."
"Sister-in-law, you are now modest. Our mansion has been hiding from your parents' home. I heard that the new construction team in your hand has a cement recipe, which is particularly magical. Now it has almost become the most popular treasure of the major families in Jinling." Mrs. Yao Er said, "This is really enviable. Unlike my third brother and sister, my parents' home cannot be used. Apart from snatching the old lady to eat meat and drink soup, there is no other choice."
"Cement recipe?" Mrs. Yao first pretended to be puzzled, then showed a sudden realization and said, "Oh, you are talking about the toilet, right? I forgot if you don't say it... It's really a coincidence that I just took the old lady's task to help repair something, and I was determined to do the things well, racking my brains, and various ways..."
Not to mention Mrs. Yao Er, who was already tempted, even Mrs. Yao San couldn't help but prick up her ears when she heard about the cement prescription.
Just as Mrs. Yao said, they all seem to have relied on the old lady to make a living, but Mrs. Yao took out a "baby" from her parents' home. How can this matter not be enviable?
As a concubine, if Mrs. Yao San had not been in front of her mistress when she was in her parents' home, she would not have been the one who married into the Yao family.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the original owner saw that Mrs. Yao San was cowardly and was easier to control, so he chose her.
"I didn't expect that I was holding such a prescription in my hand. When I took it out and used it, I just wanted to be filial to the old lady."
"I didn't expect that the results were good, and it even hit the eyes of His Majesty. My mother's family also received such a reward."
...
Anyway, Mrs. Yao meant that it was an "accident" for her parents' family to receive this reward, because none of them expected that this cement prescription could actually catch the eyes of Emperor Mingguang.
