Life's Hidden Memories Chapter 5

Qin Zhenniang thought for a while and softly uttered: "A bunch of troublemakers!"

These words were not too outrageous. Mira Shiben did not hear it and called Vada in: "I will also tell you to send some food to the fifth girl. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it is suitable for people who are sick."

This is to make something new in the kitchen. Don't fool with the existing ones. Vada responded quickly and said with a smile: "The pear blossom at Thea Aunt's place asked just now, saying that Thea Aunt wanted to make a cloak for the girl. I wonder if the girl likes it." What kind of tricks, so sensible, it’s not worth my wife’s love for them. "

"This Thea Aunt is too shrewd." Qin Zhenniang glared at Bi Xi and said, "Are you so short-sighted that you let them flatter you?"

Vada knew that her girl had a bad temper these days, so she hurriedly softened her tone and said, "Where are you? The pear blossom was asking Dujuan. Duzai said peony, but she was afraid that she didn't say it well, so she asked me if Maris was really good. If you come to me and ask, I won't talk about it."

Qin Zhenniang also knew that she was angry for no reason, but she couldn't bear it. After a while, she snorted and said: "In that case, I have wronged Thea Aunt and Miss Wu. I will add some money and make a sweet and sour golden cake for them." I gave the orange cake to the fifth girl. She has no taste in her mouth. It's good to eat this to appetize. "

"Yes, the fifth girl likes to eat salty snacks on weekdays. I'm afraid she will like to eat this when she is sick." Vada knew that her girl deliberately chose something that the fifth girl didn't like to eat. The wife may not take into account the preferences of a Concub!ne on weekdays. But she couldn't help but mention it. If she really got this reward and made a fuss, I'm afraid it would make her wife look bad.

Mira didn't object at all. She nodded slightly and said, "It's good for Zhenniang to do this. If she has a reason, she has the upper hand. No matter what she wants, others can't say much."

Vada sighed slightly in her heart. After all, the mother still favored her daughter. The girl clearly meant to tease the fifth girl. Seeing that the girl was not wrong on the face of it, the madam let her go. At least she had to deliver the cake herself and describe it more. Just to add a few words, Thea Aunt has been a trouble-free person in recent years. She will not be like Cora Aunt, pouring a jar of sarcastic words in front of the master.

After a long while, the little maid Zhu Yeer brought the food box to Bi Xi. Bi Xi opened the lid and took a look. Qi Xi knew the kitchen well and made it exquisitely. The light red rice cake was made into a five-petal pattern with kumquat jam in the middle. The stamens were made, and they were quite acceptable, so I carried them myself and brought them to Thea Aunt.

Elara Qin could not help herself but Thea Aunt fed her a belly of strange-tasting medicinal chicken soup, and she was grinning strangely. When she heard Vada bringing snacks, she quickly leaned up from the pillow and said, "Sister Vada, please sit down. What delicious snacks did you bring me?" "

Bi Xi and Thea Aunt were on good terms here. Seeing Elara Qin's innocent look, she smiled and said as if coaxing a child: "It's a flower cake. The fourth girl specially ordered this kumquat cake today. I thought It will taste better if you eat it. Let’s see if you like it.”

Thea Aunt couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard this. Her daughter doesn't like sweet food, let alone sour food. The sisters often eat together in the upper room. Doesn't anyone in the upper room know?

Elara Qin's eyes shone brightly: "This flower cake is so beautiful. Thank you Fourth Sister for me!" She reached out and took a piece, and took a bite. The warm and soft rice cake was sandwiched with the faint scent of kumquat, which instantly soothed her. Her tongue was numb from the pain of the medicinal diet. After taking two bites, she squinted her eyes and let out a long sigh of satisfaction. These ancient snacks were not as fragrant and delicious as the modern ones, but they had a fresh taste, which was really to her liking.

Looking at this look in Thea Aunt's eyes, she just felt sad. Her daughter had a serious illness and her whole temperament had changed. It was better to be noisy and joyful than before. But my wife wanted to take her to educate her. It would be a good thing to change her temper from now on. Just looking frustrated. Thea Aunt was in a complicated mood and didn't think about talking for a while. The mother and daughter looked at Bi Xi with interest in this situation, and they told Mira about it when they got back.

"Madam, I see that Thea Aunt knows what's going on this time. In the past, she was a nice person, but she just couldn't keep her mouth shut. This time, she was clearly at a disadvantage, but she didn't talk too much. I gave you snacks today, five The girl ate two pieces on the spot and praised the taste, but Thea Aunt didn't say anything. "

Mira nodded and said, "In that case, I'll give them two good horses. Thea Aunt loves Sister Fen and has spent money freely in the past few years. I don't think she has saved much money. They kindly made a cloak for Zhen Niang. You have to spare them the material for free."

"Madam is really virtuous, oh, is Vada back?" Rowan Qin came out of the back room, put his hands in his sleeves, and nodded to Vada with a smile.

He had been replying for a long time. The master could clearly hear him in the room, but he still talked to her in vain. Vada couldn't help but feel bored. She vaguely knew what the master was thinking, but neither the master nor his wife revealed it. So what could she do if she was a slave?

Fortunately, the wife is quite decent and has no intention of using her to please her husband. She just said lightly: "Vada is going to pass the meal and ask Amethyst to come in and serve. You personally pick two good things and send them to the fifth girl." Vada responded hurriedly. Back off.

Rowan Qin didn't bother, he sat opposite Mira with a smile and said, "Madam, please don't be too lenient. I just came back and have already heard about Shu'er. This matter is because Cora Aunt lost her sense of proportion. Madam, you can knock her down." She is."

After receiving these few words, Mira knew that her husband was not partial after all, and she couldn't help but feel very satisfied. She was no longer angry about Cora Aunt's pretending to be sick. She casually said a few beautiful words and urged: "Master, come back to get the letter. Can you find it? Mr. Shangfeng is coming soon. There must be many important things in the yamen, so you should go quickly. "

Rowan Qin didn't stay long. He told him not to come back for dinner and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Mira pondered for a moment and called out in a loud voice: "Mother Zhang!"

A stocky woman came out from behind the screen and stood aside with her hands hanging down.

"Cora Aunt said she's not feeling well. Don't let the third girl get over her illness. Go and ask a doctor to come into the house to take a look at Cora Aunt. Then ask the third girl to pack her things and move to Jiangcaoxuan tomorrow. The same goes for the sixth girl. The fifth girl is ill. It doesn't matter if she waits for a few days before moving."

Zhang’s mother agreed and left without mentioning it.

Rowan Qin didn't return home for several days. Without the man in the back house of Qin Mansion, there was no reason to fight and it became much calmer. Elara Qin rarely enjoyed a few days of leisure.

Thea Aunt loves her daughter, and Elara Qin has just recovered from a serious illness. Whatever she wants, Thea Aunt will do whatever she wants. It is closer than the family relationship that was related by blood but indifferent in the previous life. One day she would be quiet and submissive, and Thea Aunt would ask her heartily if she was not in good health. Although Elara Qin was not used to it, she also liked this warm feeling.

"Auntie, my mouth is a little tasteless and I want to have a salty snack."

"What's the problem? Just ask Maris to go to the kitchen and ask for a plate of straw sandal cakes. Since you want something salty, make a few of onion, spicy pepper and salt to try."

Seeing Thea Aunt's immediate response, Elara Qin felt warm in her heart, and she couldn't say the words she had prepared.

"Does Fen'er have anything to say to aunt?"

"Auntie, I heard that the third sister and the sixth sister moved into Jiangcaoxuan the day before yesterday. I heard that Jiangcaoxuan is very good, and I also want to live with my sisters. It would be better if we all live together in harmony. Auntie, I'll see if it's okay. good?"

In the past, Elara Qin no longer wanted to be restrained with her sisters and only liked to play by herself. However, Thea Aunt has adapted to Elara Qin's changes a lot, so it is not surprising at this time.

Thea Aunt originally thought that her daughter was smart, but she was still young and a little arrogant. After Cora Aunt's hard work, she found that it was not strange to grow up suddenly. After listening to Elara Qin's words, she couldn't help but nod secretly. Furthermore, her daughter As a child, he only thinks about one level, and a deeper level. The mistress's grace for a few days is a kindness. If he relies on the grace and indulges endlessly, he will become ignorant. So he responded: "Fern'er is right... Maris!"

Maris came in in response, and Thea Aunt said: "You take a hundred big bucks and go to the kitchen, and tell the fifth girl that she wants to eat straw sandal cakes, which are called sweet and salty. Make sesame, brown sugar, green onion, and salt and pepper for twenty or so each." indivual."

Maris couldn't help but laugh: "It's true that my aunt loves girls, but this is too much. Straw sandal cakes are not easy to spoil. If kept for a long time, they will get damp and become unpalatable."

"I'm not being taken advantage of. I'm asking for a lot of food for nothing. Why don't I ask the ladies in the kitchen to get it for free? Just now Fen'er said that she should go to the room to say hello, but suddenly she left. I'm afraid my wife will be too worried, so why don't I just go there? She said that Fen'er wanted to eat straw sandal cakes, and we thought that the fourth girl would also like to eat them. We would make more and send them to her. We would like to say hello and hear what the wife says. "

"Young lady and aunt are so thoughtful, I never thought about it." Maris nodded and praised, "If the madam asks us to take a rest, we will rest for a few more days. If the madam asks us to move, we can move immediately." She said and left without mentioning it.

Thea Aunt immersed herself in sewing again. She and Cora Aunt were angry and said that they wanted to make a cloak for Qin Zhenniang. It was not easy to make the promise in vain. They had been working non-stop for the past two days and were only busy embroidering Qin Zhenniang's cloak and Elara Qin's. I haven't had time to move the needle yet.

Elara Qin thought of Tan Chun embroidering for Jia Baoyu in Dream of Red Mansions, and thought that she might have to embroider two stitches to please her eldest sister, and was afraid that she would reveal her secret. After a little exploration, she found out that Thea Aunt loved her daughter very much and never called her Elara Qin had studied nühong, and she heard that Seren Qin slept at midnight and woke up at five o'clock in the morning, so he didn't even ask his daughter to learn how to read. Elara Qin had never learned anything in her life except eating, drinking and acting coquettishly.

Although she was just an ancient Concub!ne, Elara Qin's life was pretty good.

Over the past few days, Thea Aunt has filled Elara Qin's mind with family knowledge, and Elara Qin has learned a lot more about the back house of the Qin Mansion.

Mrs. Mira comes from a wealthy family and is the favored youngest daughter. When she married into the Qin family, she brought a lot of dowry, so her backbone in the Qin family was straight. Mira's education is very good, and she is fair and reasonable in dealing with others, so as long as the aunts below her live in peace, their lives will not be difficult.

"The Mira family is rich, Uncle Mira is an official, and he respects his wife. Everyone in the house is at her disposal. In the play, the princess in the play is drunk and beaten with golden branches when she gets married. I look at my wife's fate. It's the best."

However, Elara Qin always felt that Mira's life was not as smooth as it seemed on the surface. Think about this era where men are supreme, but the Mira family does not have a biological son, but there is a B@st@ard. Although this B@st@ard is exempted from the crime of jealousy, it can still make Mira breathless.

After talking about the mistress, Thea Aunt sighed and said, "Thankfully we didn't worry about ourselves first and made the fourth girl's cloak first. Otherwise, we won't be able to bring out anything when we meet tomorrow. It won't look like we are pretending."

Elara Qin smiled and picked up the teacup on the table: "Auntie, you have worked hard. Let's take a drink of water and take a break."

Thea Aunt drank the tea her daughter gave her, and she felt very comfortable eating ice cream in the summer. After talking about the mistress, I talked about Cora Aunt.

Cora Aunt was a female accountant who came to the Mira family as a dowry. She was a good abacus and a good bookkeeper. She was originally from a salt merchant's family. The Mira family spent a lot of effort to find her and put her next to the Mira family. Help.

Mira never said whether Cora Aunt was originally going to be a nanny or a shopkeeper, and no one knew. How she later became the bridegroom was a secret in the Qin Mansion, and no one discussed it. But Elara Qin felt that the more she hid it, the more something was going on inside. She was afraid that Cora Aunt had become her own master, and had fallen in love with Rowan Qin, the male master, and betrayed Mira, the female master.

Thinking of this, a strong woman with a shrewd face unexpectedly appeared in Elara Qin's mind.

As for Thea Aunt herself, her background was not high. She was originally the daughter of a poor family. Her family could no longer survive, so they sold her to someone else. Although she was basically a girl from a good family, she was still a slave in the end. Elara Qin Seeing that although the servants in the mansion flattered Thea Aunt, they didn't have much respect in all seriousness, I couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, she was the daughter of a wealthy family, otherwise her life would have been very difficult.

There was also Aunt Shang, who was said to have entered the family later and gave birth to a sixth girl, Tamsin Qin. Elara Qin asked several times, but Thea Aunt refused to elaborate and only vaguely said that Elara Qin was a little girl and she shouldn't ask. Elara Qin could only give up on the adults' matters and leave it to him to inquire about it later.
