The weak princess is super fierce

Meng Shisan smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Go back to your eldest aunt and say that I don't choose. I like mooncakes with any filling."

"No!" Huan Hua retreated happily.

When she returned to Zehuiyuan, she told Mama Cai, who turned around and told Mr. Shang.

Mrs. Shang smiled and said, "Look, Yaoyao has grown hair this year. Not only has she become more enlightened, but her taste is no longer so tricky!"

Mother Cai echoed: "Once this person grows up, he will be more sensible."

"That's right!" Mrs. Shang was happy and immediately made arrangements, "Go to the big kitchen now and give me instructions. Quickly prepare all the fillings for me, mix them properly, and have more shapes and patterns. Be sure to make them This year’s mooncakes are not only more delicious, but also more pleasing to the eye.”

"No." Cai's mother was also beaming from ear to ear.

After she agreed to her promise, she walked out of the council hall to deliver Shang's orders.

But Mrs. Shang called out to Cai’s mother: “Wait!”

Mother Cai had no choice but to turn back to the director's desk: "Madam?"

"According to the practice of previous years, although there was always Zeng Mansion in the mansion where we exchanged gifts, after all, my late brother-in-law was long gone, and Yaoyao was not close to Zeng Mansion in previous years. She completely pretended that Zeng Mansion, her maternal ancestral home, did not exist. The Zeng family took the initiative to get close to each other, but they were all rejected by Yaoyao. At Yaoyao's hairpin ceremony this year, the entire family of the Zeng Mansion came to congratulate her, and they also got a thumbs-down in front of Yaoyao!" Shang said! Shi was talking about what happened at the beginning of the year.

She felt a little thirsty at this point, so she reached out to pick up the tea bowl and took two sips before continuing: "Therefore, the annual gifts sent to the Zeng Mansion in previous years are all in accordance with the normal rules for personal interactions. , this is also what my mother-in-law nodded."

"What does Mrs. Cai mean?" Cai's mother understood Shang's intention, "We are going to change the Zeng family's etiquette this year? Are we going to increase the rules?"

Mrs. Shang nodded: "That's for sure. I have to discuss with my mother-in-law how many things I want to add to the gift list. After all, in terms of the value of this thing, there are rules and regulations, and you can't add it randomly. But as for the mooncakes alone, judging from the fact that Yaoyao is willing to communicate with the Zeng Mansion this year and gets along so well with the young master of the Zeng Mansion, the mooncakes sent to the Zeng Mansion this year must be of various flavors, shapes, and quantities. More than in previous years.”

Mother Cai understood: "Madam, don't worry. When I go to the big kitchen, I will make it clear to Manager Li that this year's mooncakes must be prepared in large quantities, no matter which kind they come from."

"Go." That's what Shang meant.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Shang entered the Changchun Courtyard, went to the upper room to see Old Mrs. Meng, and asked Old Mrs. Meng for advice.

Mrs. Meng received the news last night.

Because Manager Li, who is in charge of all matters in the big kitchen, belongs to Mrs. Meng.

So Shang went to the upper room to discuss the matter, and she had already left the Changchun Courtyard before the wind was blowing all over the Meng Mansion.

As soon as he left Changchun Courtyard, Shang returned to the council hall of Zehui Courtyard. He called all the stewards in the mansion into the council hall without stopping, and prepared all the things that should be prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival, one after another in detail. He ordered.

By the time I was almost busy with work, a day had passed.

"Aping hasn't come back yet?" Mrs. Shang sat tiredly in the chair, leaning on the back of the chair with a sleepy look. In order to arrange things properly, she was too busy to take a nap today.

They were all used to taking naps. As soon as she didn't take a nap, the day had just darkened, and as soon as the lights were turned on in various places in the corridor, she would yawn all the time, and she could hardly keep her eyes open.

But no matter how sleepy she was, she never forgot that her eldest son was busier than she was.

I was so busy that last night, the little chamberlain of the East Palace came to inform me that the eldest son was staying in the East Palace by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Another whole day passed today, and the eldest son still hadn't returned home. She had no time to think when she was busy. After sitting down for a while, she immediately thought about it.

"No." Mother Cai gently tapped Shang's shoulders and said softly, "The old slave asked Huanhua to guard the front yard. Once the eldest son returns home, there is no need to wait for the eldest son to walk to the building. Madam can know the gate of Fengyuan." Mrs. Shang sighed: "He has been busy all day long, so busy that he didn't even go back home. I think he doesn't want to get married and have children!"

"What are you talking about madam?" Mother Cai comforted her as always, "The eldest son has a promising future and will be the lintel of the Meng family in the future. This future eldest grandma will also be the future mistress of the Meng family. Just like the wife, she has to take care of everything in the house. In this way, the eldest son must be chosen more carefully. In addition to the eldest son, he must be agreeable, and the eldest wife must be a good wife to the eldest son in the future. "

These soothing words kept coming back and forth for several years, with the same meaning.

Even so, no matter how many times Shang heard this kind words, he still felt very comfortable.

Then he smiled and stopped complaining.

Taichen Courtyard, Mingxiao Hall.

Meng Shisan also just received a reply from Xiu Yu: "Miss, the eldest young master hasn't come back yet, so he might have to stay in the East Palace again tonight. The servant also saw the eldest lady and sent Huan Hua to guard the gate room. .”

Meng Shisan nodded.

A moment after Xiuyu exited Mingxiao Hall, Baozhu ran in from outside in a hurry, almost hitting Shangchun who came in carrying freshly brewed tea soup.

"It's reckless." Thanks to Shangchun's sharp eyesight, he was able to protect the lid of the teacup that almost fell off in time.

"Aunt Shangchun has taught you a lesson, don't dare to do it again!" Baozhu's hand quickly held Shangchun in the midst of lightning.

Shangchun glared at Baozhu who admitted his mistake in time: "Go in, the lady is waiting."

Baozhu chuckled: "Auntie, please come first!"

Shangchun also smiled, holding the tray and stepping forward to the threshold.

Entering Mingxiao Hall, Shangchun gently placed the tea bowl on the table next to Meng Shisan, then handed the tray to Bing'er beside him, and asked Bing'er to take the tray back to the tea room.

Baozhu went to Meng Shisan and reported: "Miss, I went to Ji's Mansion to inquire. I said that Mr. Ji was also staying in the East Palace last night. He didn't come back to the manor all day today. I guess the situation is similar. Just like the eldest young master, His Highness may have to stay in the East Palace tonight!"

It's been two days in a row.

He didn't even return home.

Meng Renping didn't come back, and Meng Shisan couldn't find anyone to ask about the specific situation. All he could find out was just superficial information.

However, these superficial things were enough to make her think a lot.

If the water snake could come back, she could ask it.

But this She Xiaoqing really gave up her old love and made a new one!

I don’t know if I should come back first before going to the East Palace!

It really pissed her off.

Meng Shisan calmed down the restlessness in his heart, thinking that the three people she had sent out, Xiuyu and Baozhu had already reported back, but Kite was still missing.

Could it be that he was stumped by Cui Yu?
