I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Chapter 19 Don’t expect others to have an easy time either

Why does this little girl look so pitiful every time I see her? Lin Weiqiao muttered in her heart, shouting: "Stop."

Yinxiang was startled and said more cautiously, "Mom."

"Open the lunch box and take a look."

"what?"

Her original intention was to see if the kitchen had deducted Aunt Lian's share, but Yinxiang was so trembling with fear, as if she was facing a great enemy, and she was holding the food box and was reluctant to open it.

This made her anxious, so she took the food box and opened it. There was a plate of bean cakes, a bowl of coarse grain soup, a few sesame balls, and the rest were hawthorn preserves, dried green plums, dried ginkgo nuts, and pickled radish.

She swallowed and asked, "Does your aunt usually eat these?"

Yinxiang didn't know what she was panicking about, and she stammered, "Mom, no, it's, I love to eat it."

"what?"

"it's me……"

She waved her hand, and Yinxiang hurried away with the food box. She looked at Yinxiang's back and wondered if she looked too stern, or was this little girl too timid?

Also, the taste of this incense is quite unique. Instead of eating rice or grains in the morning, it only eats dried fruits and anything sour.

When we arrived at the big kitchen, we found that it was no different from other places. People had been busy there since dawn. There was heat everywhere, the fire under the stove was burning fiercely, and everyone was busy and sweating.

She was a big idler, standing there, looking a bit out of place.

Compared to her, Aunt Wu, who seemed to be giving orders here and there, was only busy with her words.

"Mrs. Lin is here again. What can you do for me?" Aunt Wu said in a sarcastic tone.

"Let's see, are you welcome, ma'am?"

"How dare I? I'm afraid my place is too small to accommodate you, Mother Lin."

"You have the final say on this territory. Whether or not we can tolerate it is just a matter of a word from you, Auntie."

She looked at the freshly cooked wontons, sprinkled with chopped green onions, fresh vegetables, and freshly ground tofu pudding, and her stomach growled uncontrollably.

Aunt Wu heard this and smiled contemptuously, "Are you hungry, mom? But these are all prepared for the old lady and the others first, so there is no portion for mom yet."

She curled her lips, thinking that if someone didn't know, they would think that this big kitchen belonged to Aunt Wu. "Really? Aunt, you are still free, so please go and make me a bowl of wontons with pork and shepherd's purse filling."

"You, how dare you order me around?"

"Oh, oh, I just asked you for a favor, how dare I point fingers at you? Why are you taking it so seriously? If you don't want to, just say so. What's the point of getting angry?"

After saying that, she found a place to sit down. She just came to take a look and take the breakfast back to avoid Sister Huan being greedy for her breakfast and giving her the leftovers.

This damn girl never changes her ways and always tries to get her food.

She couldn't do anything about the big kitchen for the time being, so she might as well look for trouble. If she was the one who suffered, then others wouldn't have an easy time either.

Aunt Wu didn't bother to pay attention to her and turned around to continue giving orders.

Huang Niangzi was enthusiastic and asked as she worked: "Mom, why did you come so early today?"

As he said this, he handed her a piece of freshly baked carrot pancake and said, "Mom, try it."

Otherwise, she thought Mrs. Huang was a good person, beautiful and kind-hearted, and should be in charge of the kitchen!

At that time, people from each room started to get breakfast. As soon as Xinlan entered the kitchen, she ordered arrogantly, "Second Miss said that she wanted something sweet in the morning. She wanted glutinous rice jelly, osmanthus sugar cake, milk rice cake, silver thread cake, lotus seed soup, cream cheese, and a bowl of bird's nest porridge."

Just listening to it, Lin Weiqiao felt it was too sweet. She thought that the second girl was still a child, and she wouldn't be afraid of tooth decay if she ate something so sweet.

In addition, the girls in each room of the Bo's mansion have a fixed daily quota of pastries. If they exceed the quota, they have to pay extra money to buy more.

Obviously, the pastries Xinlan ordered today exceeded the allowance.

Just like last time, the same mistake was made. I really don’t know what the second wife is thinking, and what the second girl is thinking. Do they really think they are the only one in the Bo’s Mansion?

Aunt Wu wanted to agree, but her eyes unconsciously looked at Lin Weiqiao who was eating radish fried cake. Seeing that she didn't say anything, she felt a little unsure.

However, Xinlan looked at the freshly baked wontons and said she wanted a bowl too.

While serving wontons, Aunt Wu glanced at Lin Weiqiao out of the corner of her eye, muttering to herself.

Xinlan naturally saw that Lin Weiqiao was also there, so she didn't take it seriously. She was just a housemaid. How could she go beyond her master no matter how powerful she was? This was specifically requested by the second lady, who dared to say no?

Last time, it was the people from the first wife's house who made trouble, causing the second girl's share to be the same as the other girls. The second lady also temporarily asked them to follow the share and not to ask for anything extra.

But the second girl is still a child after all. She used to eat whatever she wanted without having to think about this or that. After enduring for a while, she lost some weight. How could she endure it anymore?

Now the Second Madam is in charge, and the Second Girl is her eldest daughter. How can she be treated unfairly?

Aunt Wu nervously packed the things she wanted into the food box one by one. Xinlan took it away with satisfaction. Before leaving, she did not forget to give Lin Weiqiao a smug look.

Lin Weiqiao was amused and stood up and clapped her hands, "It's time for me to go back too."

After saying this, he walked a few steps, then turned back and said to Aunt Wu, "Remember, don't forget."

Aunt Wu was confused. "Remember what?"

She said very seriously: "Remember what the second young lady asked for just now."

"Aren't they all ready?"

"The second girl's has been packed and sent, but what about the other girls?"

"Other girls?"

"Yes, this is in excess of the original quota, and you didn't ask the second girl for money, so I thought it was for all girls. How come it's not, it's only for the second girl?"

Aunt Mu Ju, who was in charge of shopping, said, "The other girls didn't ask for it, but the second girl specifically asked for it."

Lin Weiqiao smiled and asked, "Oh, so you mean that if other girls ask for it, you will make it for them? And they don't have to pay for it? Okay, then I understand. I will give the order and ask the other girls what they want to eat. You can prepare it."

Aunt Wu was stunned, but she realized later that Lin Weiqiao was waiting here. She and Aunt Mu Ju looked at each other, and their expressions were as if they had eaten a fly, which was indescribable.

Aunt Muju said, "Mother Lin, that's not what you said. It was the second young lady who specifically asked for it."

Lin Weiqiao casually grabbed a handful of fried peanuts and ate them while saying, "I'm not deaf yet, I heard it was the second girl who wanted it. If the second girl can have it, then the other girls can't have it too?"

As she spoke, she walked out the door, looked left and right, and said seriously: "This is the big kitchen, right? It's not the second young lady's own private kitchen, right?"

Aunt Wu and the other woman looked very unhappy, but they couldn't find any words to refute.

After holding it in for a long while, Aunt Mu Ju said, "I'm afraid the Second Madam won't agree to this."
