Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

"Miss Lianxiang is so arrogant! I didn't know that Miss Lianxiang is the boss of this mansion? Are you showing off in my kitchen?"

When they were knocked down at first, Mrs. Zhang didn't take it seriously, thinking it was no big deal. At most, the two women would just apologize and be done with it. Lianxiang had always been a bully, so there was no need to confront her.

Who would have thought that Lianxiang judged people by appearance, and her words were dirty and smelly, which annoyed the two women. The two women were not easy to deal with, and they actually retorted back. The string of words, like a string of pearls and cannons, made Lianxiang, who was usually sharp-tongued, speechless.

When Lianxiang just finished speaking, she wanted to step forward to help, but she stopped as soon as Zheng Yuan and the others spoke. These two women were as good at talking as Lianxiang, and she couldn't stand Lianxiang's usual superiority, so she took advantage of these two women to teach her a lesson.

At this moment, seeing that Lianxiang couldn't win the verbal battle and wanted to fight, he spoke up.

Lianxiang was standing at the door just now and didn't notice Mrs. Zhang inside. Today was market day and she thought she was out shopping. But she spoke and scared Lianxiang.

Soon he calmed down and acted like a master: "Mrs. Zhang, are you here? Are you just going to watch the people in the Madam's yard being bullied by outsiders? Come up and help me arrest these three country folks, or I will report you to the Madam and you will be in big trouble."

“Then I will ask Miss Lianxiang to go to the Madam and complain as soon as possible, asking how could you bump into someone under the Madam’s name and not apologize, but instead complain first.” Mrs. Zhang was not afraid, because she was brought in by the Madam and was able to manage the kitchen because of the Madam’s trust in her.

This maidservant is just a messenger in the lady's courtyard. She usually relies on the fact that she is a family-born child and works in the lady's courtyard to boss the people around. Everyone has long disliked her.

Another reason is that Lianxiang's mother was originally a purchasing woman in the mansion. Later, when the lady married in, she found that the kitchen was blatantly embezzling money. Considering that she was an old lady in the mansion, she was not punished, but Zhang was replaced by her.

But this made Lianxiang's family hate her, always thinking that it was Mrs. Zhang who took her mother's position and cut off her family's financial resources. From time to time, she would come to the kitchen to make a presence. Usually, Mrs. Zhang would not bother to pay attention to her. After all, she was someone from the lady's courtyard, and it would be embarrassing for the lady if the two of them quarreled. She would only give her a beating when the quarrel was too much.

Today's incident was also Lianxiang's fault. Even if it was brought to the Madam's courtyard, she would not be afraid. Not to mention that she was Madam's person, Madam was the most reasonable person, and she would not tolerate this maid taking advantage of the power of others.

Seeing that she was not afraid at all, Lianxiang became furious, but she also knew that Zhang Po was the Madam's person and was deeply trusted by the Madam, so the Madam would not help her at all.

After thinking about the purpose of her coming here, she said proudly, "Mrs. Zhang, don't be so arrogant. Young Master Jiang was not satisfied with the meal you sent this morning. I don't know how you usually manage this kitchen. You can't even serve a decent dish. If you can't cook something that suits Young Master Jiang's taste at noon, he will leave. If you delay the important matters of the master and the mistress, I wonder if she will tolerate you."

"Then there is no need for Miss Lianxiang to worry. I, an old woman, will naturally have my own way."

Seeing that she couldn't get what she wanted, Lianxiang left with a gloomy face.

They didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang would quarrel with the maids in the Madam's courtyard over them. Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were very embarrassed. They were just wondering whether they were in cahoots with each other, but now they felt ashamed of their narrow-mindedness.

Seeing Lianxiang walking away, the two hurried forward to apologize to Mrs. Zhang: "Sister, we are really causing you trouble. You are so kind to help us, but we have caused you such a big trouble. The lady will not really listen to Lianxiang's words and come to trouble you, right? We will wait here. If the lady blames us later, we will bear it ourselves."

Mrs. Zhang helped pick up the bucket that had fallen on the ground. She saw that most of the porcelain bowls in it were broken. "No need. Madam, you won't blame me for what that little bitch said. She was just pretending. Besides, so many people saw this today. How can she confuse right and wrong? I have disliked her for a long time. Today, you guys have helped me vent my anger."

"It's you, this bowl and spoon must have cost a lot of money, but it was all broken by that little hoof. Fortunately, she slipped away quickly, otherwise I would have made her spit out twice as much!"

Duan Minmin took it and looked at it, and found that a lot of them were broken. Although she felt a little sad, it was not a big deal. She could just buy a few more later.

"These bowls and spoons are not a big deal. Since they were broken by someone from the mansion, I will compensate you."

"Chun Tao, go to the cupboard over there and get out fifteen porcelain bowls and fifteen spoons for these two sisters."

The maid named Chuntao received the order and responded, "Yes!" and walked towards the inner room.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin waved their hands: "Sister Zhang, this is embarrassing. I've already caused you so much trouble today, how can I accept your things again?"

"Hey, these bowls and plates are simple in design, and the master doesn't like to use them, so they are all collected under the cupboard and are gathering dust. Since you happen to need them, it's okay to give you a few sets."

Seeing that she insisted, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin did not refuse. If they continued to push it, it would hurt Mrs. Zhang's good intentions.

Chuntao took out a bowl and a spoon and handed them to Duan Minmin: "Auntie, keep them."

The attitude is respectful, without any contempt.

Duan Minmin took the bowl and spoon, thanked her sincerely, and put them in the bucket. Take these broken pieces out and throw them away. It doesn't make sense to leave garbage in someone's yard after they were kind enough to give them the bowls.

After getting the things, they felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so they thanked Mrs. Zhang again and left with their things.

"Alas, Young Master Jiang's taste is too picky. The cooking skills of our family are already the best in the whole town, and even if we take them to the county, they will be ranked well-known. Why can't he get used to it? And it happens that the master has a request from his father. If he really leaves because he can't get used to the food, I wonder if the master and his mistress will really blame him." After the farce ended, a maid thought of what Lianxiang had just said and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"That's right. I have presented all the dishes I have learned throughout my life, but my ancestors still said they were not to their taste. Manager Zhang, I don't know what to cook for lunch today." The old woman in charge of cooking said with a bitter face.

For a moment, the kitchen was filled with gloom.

Mrs. Zhang was also very upset. She had gone out today to see if there were any new things in the market that she could buy to deal with this ancestor, but Lianxiang interrupted her and she couldn't go. Seeing that it was time to prepare lunch again, not to mention the old woman who was in charge of the kitchen, she had no idea what to do.

"Okay, stop talking, it's getting late. Let's think about what we can make to deal with that guy. Tell us what you think. It doesn't matter what it is. As long as you have eaten something that you think is good, you can try it. What if the young master likes it?"

Mrs. Zhang was helpless, even though she said she had a way to make Lianxiang worry less. But in fact, she had no idea at all. As the wife's confidant, she naturally knew that this young master Jiang was a distinguished guest invited by the master, and he would have to stay for a while.

If she lets the young master go because of poor service in the kitchen, the master might blame her. Even if the lady wants to protect her, it will be difficult to say so. It will also implicate the lady.

Even if I want to leave, I can't let the kitchen take the blame.
