[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Rong Enqing knew what Jiang was here for, and he didn't want her to cause trouble for him. So, he pouted and told Meixiang, "Go tell Jiang that I don't have time to see her now."

Meixiang took the order and left, but soon came back and said with some embarrassment, "Madam, Aunt Jiang said she is not in a hurry and can wait for you."

This clearly means that he will not leave until he sees Rong Enqing.

Rong Enqing sneered, "Then let her wait."

Having said this, he got up and left the inner room to have breakfast.

The breakfast was placed in the side room of the west wing. When Rong Enqing arrived, A Shou had just put the breakfast on the table.

"Madam, this morning we have wontons with three fresh ingredients, steamed buns with three fresh ingredients, and porridge with three fresh ingredients... The three fresh ingredients in the wontons are spring bamboo shoots, leeks, and shrimps. The three fresh ingredients in the steamed buns are spring bamboo shoots, dried tofu, and eggs. The three fresh ingredients in the porridge with three fresh ingredients are spring bamboo shoots, peas, and bacon...."

As soon as Rong Enqing sat down, A Shou began to introduce today's breakfast to her.

There is a reason why Ah Shou is fat, that is because he loves to eat!

Not only do I love to eat, I also love to cook.

Despite his young age, he has mastered the cooking skills.

After just a few days of coming here, he already outclassed the cook who cooked for Rong Enqing in the big kitchen and volunteered to cook for Rong Enqing.

Because he was too short, Rong Enqing had someone build a small kitchen in the northwest corner of Baishou Hall two days ago. The stove was specially built according to Ah Shou's height.

Since he had this small kitchen, Ah Shou has devoted all his attention to the kitchen. All day long, he either thinks about food or about making food.

Rong Enqing saw Ah Shou introducing his delicacies with great enthusiasm, and couldn't help but joked happily: "I heard that today's breakfast cannot be separated from spring bamboo shoots?"

Ah Shou smiled and said as he served Rong En some porridge: "The spring bamboo shoots are fresh and delicious these days, so of course I want to let Madam enjoy a feast. Try this porridge and then the wontons. Everything is delicious."

Rong Enqing couldn't help laughing.

Ah Shou's cooking skills were indeed impeccable, but she suspected that if things continued like this, she would become as round as Ah Shou.

Rong Enqing also ate half a bowl of snacks. As expected, the taste was very good. "The rest is yours. Take it down and eat it while it's hot. Don't waste it."

"Thank you, Madam." Ah Shou responded happily. As soon as Rong Enqing left, she took the remaining breakfast back to the small kitchen.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Nanshan and Yannian eating breakfast. Their breakfast was brought back from the big kitchen. It was steamed buns and some pickled vegetables.

"Nanshan, Yannian, let's eat together. There are still a lot of food that the lady gave me." Ah Shou greeted the two of them warmly.

Unexpectedly, the two of them just curled their lips coldly and ignored it.

Nanshan snorted coldly and sneered, "You have the nerve to show off after getting a reward of some leftovers?"

"That's right. You received a reward of two cents of silver from the lady, but you didn't show off like her." Yannian also echoed and lowered his head to continue eating his breakfast.

Ah Shou pouted and argued aggrievedly, "How could I show off? I just think good things should be shared with everyone. The porridge, wontons, and buns I made are really delicious. Forget it if you don't want to eat them. I'll share them with Sister Meixiang and Sister Eryue later."

"Tsk, she's just like her father, always good at flattering and fawning." Nanshan said disdainfully.

"Isn't it? If it weren't for his father's extraordinary means, it would be a joke for her to be able to serve in the mansion with her appearance." Yannian agreed again, and his words became more and more unpleasant.

Ah Shou was simple-minded, but not stupid. She could hear the bad intentions in the two people's words. She frowned and said angrily, "I warn you, it doesn't matter if you say that I am fine. If you dare to slander my father again, I will tell the lady."

Nanshan and Yannian were stunned for a moment, then both laughed out loud.

"Listen, you still want to complain to the Madam. Do you think the Madam is your grandmother? Will she listen to your complaint and give you justice? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at when you tell others about it?"

"That's right. If you have the guts, go and file a complaint. See if the lady will pay any attention to you."

Just as the three were arguing, February came.

"What are you arguing about? Let me hear it, too."

Before, Rong En cleared out the people around him, leaving only Meixiang, a first-class maid, two third-class maids, and two maids who did menial work.

Eryue was one of the two third-class maids. Now she has been promoted to second-class, and is considered the most prestigious maid in Baishou Hall besides Meixiang.

Meixiang looks hard to approach, but actually she has a gentle temper and is a good person. Eryue is just the opposite, she looks smiling, but actually if you dare to offend her, she will make you pay for it.

The maids in Baishou Hall were always terrified every time they saw Eryue, especially the new Nanshan and Yannian, who were particularly afraid of Eryue.

A Shou is okay, he is brave and thick-skinned, and can smile when he meets anyone.

As soon as February came, Nanshan and Yannian immediately changed their expressions. Yannian smiled carefully: "Sister February, we didn't say anything."

Nanshan also quickly gave A Shou a wink.

Ah Shou bit his lip and said reluctantly, "Sister Eryue, I made breakfast for the Madam, but she couldn't finish it, so she gave it to me. I wanted Nanshan and Yannian to eat with us, but they didn't want to, so we had a few words."

Er Yue heard Ah Shou say this, so she didn't pursue the matter any further. She smiled and came up to him and asked, "What delicious food did you make for the Madam? Give me some."

Ah Shou quickly agreed with a smile: "Okay. Sister Eryue, I made three-fresh wontons and three-fresh buns..."

The two began to share the food.

Nanshan and Yannian on the side didn't dare to say much. They could only glare at A Shou angrily, quickly finished their breakfast and left the kitchen.

Rong Enqing came out of the west wing, walked along the corridor out of the courtyard, walked around the garden for a few times, and then slowly turned back.

When she returned to Baishou Hall, Jiang had already become impatient and was throwing a tantrum in the flower hall.

"Where has your Madam gone? Why hasn't she come to see me yet? How long have I been waiting for you? Are you little rascals trying to trick me? You didn't even report it?"

"Aunt, we have informed the Madam that you are here. But the Madam really doesn't have time to see you. We have also told you this. It was you who said you wanted to wait."

The one who spoke was Xiaoyu, another third-class maid who stayed with Eryue.

At that time, two-thirds of the dozen maids and servants in Qinghui Hall were bribed. Xiaoyu was able to keep her original intention and not be bribed, which shows her loyalty.

Xiaoyu was not too polite when speaking to Jiang.

Jiang had been waiting for nearly an hour and her patience was running out. Now, Xiaoyu was pushing her, so she raised her hand and splashed the tea in front of her onto Xiaoyu's face.

"Who the hell are you, you bastard? How dare you talk to me like that? It's fine that the Rong family bullied me, but you, a lowly servant, dare to do this to me? Who gave you the courage?"

"I gave it to you."

Rong Enqing sneered and walked into the flower hall.
