Chapter 198

The little eunuch took the things and left happily, and the reward was generous. He was also sensible and did not ask questions. He was also very careful and knew where he was when he went back.

In fact, Xiaodongzi is from Qianqing Palace, so he didn't tell her.

After Wenwen finished, she waved to Xiaoya, "Let's go to grandma and tell her old man."

"it is good."

When we arrived at the main hall, Mrs. Zhou was settling accounts with Mrs. Qian. Usually, Mrs. Qian helped to settle the accounts of the family affairs.

Ma Shi was sorting out the account books and helping out.

In fact, Qian is not the wife of the clan, so she doesn't need to worry about it so much, but she and the old lady have been in-laws for more than ten years, and they are already relatives.

Mrs. Zhou is upright and fair. She never cares about the affairs of the men's house, and she always helps her daughter-in-law. She is very tolerant and kind to her daughter-in-law. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is rare.

"Grandma, let me tell you that the eunuch Xiaodongzi from the palace came over just now and asked for some pickles. I gave some as a gift, and I gave you two more wild vegetable dumplings."

"Oh, how did you figure it out?"

It's not surprising that Mrs. Zhou just nodded lightly.

"I thought in my heart that maybe the emperor or the empress dowager stayed with Hunchun for dinner. I wanted to taste the folk things and understand the meaning of the people's suffering. The gift was miscellaneous grains. I can't go wrong with some farm food."

Mrs. Zhou glanced at Mrs. Qian, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"You did a good job. Xiao Dongzi is from the Qianqing Palace. He didn't come to my place. He went directly to yours. I guess the emperor wants to test you. Maybe your grandfather is also in the palace. You will find out when you come back."

"Then I didn't do anything wrong, did I miss anything? I asked more tentatively, and I said that Miss Jinxiu, who is in front of the imperial concubine, asked me to bring something so that people can see through it."

Wenwen touched her nose in embarrassment, I have only been in the palace once, how did I know you have so many twists and turns.

"It doesn't matter, I dealt with it very well, with me here, don't be afraid."

"Wenwen, how do you know that you want to send miscellaneous grains?"

Qian raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

"It's not wrong to give white rice and noodles, but it's not uncommon, and it's not uncommon for a concubine to ask her natal family to send a mouthful of white noodles. If she wants to eat a mouthful of her family's vegetables, it's justifiable, and it's not like the palace can't afford a mouthful of white noodles.

It is impossible to treat guests to dinner with only two people, because Huizi is a foreigner, even my aunt has to avoid it, the person who spread the word did not say that there are other people, I guess it may be the queen mother or the emperor, it must be the elders so there is no need to worry .

Then the people in the palace are used to delicacies from mountains and seas, so giving rare things may not be very attractive, whether it is the queen mother or the emperor, giving some snacks of miscellaneous grains for a fresh taste, to experience the sufferings of the people, this Hunzi also has something to talk about in front of him.

You can talk about the life in the village and how busy you are in the autumn harvest. This topic will be covered, and there will be no embarrassment. This is also the tacit understanding between the two of us.There is definitely nothing wrong with saying this, and the nobles are willing to listen. "

Wenwen expressed her thoughts frankly.

"What a powerful girl, this childhood sweetheart really has a perfect understanding."

Qian made fun of Wenwen and made Wenwen blush.

"Come on, good boy, it's just that you're here, you help me settle the accounts, my head hurts."

The old lady is getting old, and she really can't bear to be so tired.

"Then you rest, I will fix it for you."

Wenwen is also not polite, she does her part, the old lady has a sharp and domineering personality, and if she opens her mouth, she is sincerely inviting you, which is not polite, otherwise she would not have said that to you.

Wenwen took a few pieces of paper and a pen, and began to settle the accounts. She didn't need an abacus, she just did the calculations in her head, and made a note as soon as she found something.

When it was almost noon, An Guogong and others came back.

"Who did it today? It's done so well. Your Majesty is delighted."

An Guogong yelled as soon as he entered the door, his loud voice was also full of joy.

"Your granddaughter-in-law did it. People went to her directly and bypassed me. Why are you here?"

"Isn't that right, the boss and I had dinner with the emperor, and we used the name of the noble concubine to spread the word."

Today is the meal given by the emperor, there is no noble concubine present, but it is also a test to use her name to go home and send a message to get things.

"I didn't do anything wrong. I don't know that eunuch. I tried a word and someone found out."

"I got it all, the emperor praises you for your cleverness."

"What do you bring me so much money for? How can I use it?"

Zhou Hui smiled angrily, and got a purse of small bank notes.

"Didn't I think that you would definitely give a reward? It would be bad if you offend someone. I'm afraid you don't have enough money in your pocket."

Wenwen gave him a white look.

"Isn't it you who sent the steamed buns and dumplings today, the emperor is very satisfied."

An Guogong hasn't been this happy for a long time. Finally, more people in the family can use their brains to think about things, instead of relying on his wife alone.

"I was sending a message to Hunchi, asking him to talk about the sufferings of the people if he had nothing to say. You will definitely be willing to hear this."

Wenwen blinked obediently.

"Good job, things are done beautifully today."

The prince was also in a happy mood, the food was delivered well, the emperor even tasted it himself, Zhou Hui also had something to talk about, the chat between the monarch and his ministers was very pleasant, and they didn't worry about breaking any taboos.

Zhou Hui was a farmer who knew a lot about farming. The emperor knew it when he asked him, so he was naturally happy and liked that he was down-to-earth and pragmatic.

"It's good that I didn't do anything wrong. For the first time, I was asked to bring a pickle into the palace out of nowhere. It scared my heart out."

"Don't be afraid, the emperor just tested you on a whim, and even said you, the child raised by the old fox is also a little fox, hahahahaha!"

Shi Ziye couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking.

Wen Min said unhappily with her mouth flat: "Why does the emperor scold people after eating my food, it's not kind."

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone in the room was laughing, and everyone was having a good time.

Things were done well today, Wenwen showed her face in Zhou's house, although it was a trivial matter, but if it was not done well, it would really embarrass the men outside.

"Today, let's also eat dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables."

The old lady Zhou spoke happily.

"Okay. It's not bad for me to eat, it's refreshing."

"Then I'll do it."

Wenwen went to the kitchen, and Qian also went to Zhang Luo
Everyone was very happy, and didn't notice that Ma Shi was in a low mood, but she was usually relatively silent, so no one noticed.

In fact, it is not easy to be a stepmother, Ma Shi also has his own grievances and bitterness.

Xiaoya sighed but didn't say anything. Mother is not a smart person and makes mistakes all the time, so it's not surprising that her in-laws don't like her.

In the afternoon, Wenwen and Qian made a table of dishes. Of course, wild vegetables are just a condiment, so they can’t really be eaten as a staple food.

The fried dumplings stuffed with wild onions are also delicious, and everyone is very satisfied with the food.
