Jiang Shuyao wants to earn some credits. Respect and modesty are not suitable for her, but she can be a good performer. Of course, in modern terms, being sweet and good is what is commonly called "sucking up".
Jiang Shuyao was also quite fierce. She got up early and ran to the main hall. Fortunately, it was getting hot and the temperature in the morning was not too low. After waiting for two minutes, the old madam woke up.
At this time, Xu -shi also arrived. After being married to this family for so many years, she has never been late to offer greetings in the morning.
When Jiang Shuyao saw Xu -shi 's arrival, she has a good idea. Isn't Xu -shi is the standard template for a good daughter-in-law? It's okay to follow her.
Thinking about this, Jiang Shuyao smiled friendly at Xu -shi .
Xu -shi 's heart couldn't tell what Jiang Shuyao was thinking. Seeing that she smiled at her, she was still a little bit horrified, okay? Is she holding something against her?
She is cautious, sensitive and thoughtful, but no matter what she thinks in her heart, she won't show it on her face.
"Third sister-in-law came early today." She talked to Jiang Shuyao in a kind and gentle manner.
Before Jiang Shuyao spoke, the second branch's lady, Zhou -shi, came. She didn't think that Jiang Shuyao would be here already. Seeing the two of them talking, her eyes swept over them, and she smiled in a meaningful way, "Sister-in-law, third sister-in-law."
Xu -shi did not want to bother with her. Seeing that the old madam's maid came out, she stepped first into the hall.
Jiang Shuyao hurriedly followed, fearing that the lagging students would not be able to copy their homework. She is so close behind Xu -shi and seemed to be stepping on the corners of Xu -shi 's skirt.
Zhou -shi glance at this, and feeling that there is something afoot! She also hurried to chase in.
Xu -shi heard the footsteps of the two behind her, and didn't know what happened. Her footsteps also became a little flustered.
The old lady was sitting on the Arhat bench waiting for her daughters-in-law to greet her. When she raised her eyes, she saw the three of them rushing in like dogs.
After all, the Xu -shi has been dignified and cautious for many years. She was just a little confused but quickly stabilized, and respectfully pleased the old lady.
This action made Jiang Shuyao feel comfortable. She deserves to be everyone's lady, her greetings have a special charm.
She reacted quickly, and following Xu -shi 's back as if she is looking in a mirror to greet the madam.
Zhou -shi is still thinking about what is this trick, and was half a step behind.
The old madam's eyes swept away, and Zhou -shi 's heart tightened. What is going on! Did she made a mistake?
Fortunately, the old lady didn't say anything, so Zhou -shi 's thoughts drifted away. The day before yesterday, when she order clothes, the embroiderer she arranged had eaten some silver, hopefully Xu -shi would never find out...
No matter how they greeted the old lady, Jiang Shuyao stood aside like a piece of wood, showing the appearance of being stern and careful.
Until the maid put the meal, Jiang Shuyao's aloof mask instantly collapsed to pieces.
It's over, she got up too early and didn't eat breakfast.
The old madam likes to eat light breakfast. Plain congee with two plates of stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of pickles is enough.
Although Jiang Shuyao is a foodie, she can't eat a plain rice porridge. He just looks at the white rice porridge and thinks of salted duck eggs.
Roll on the table, peel off the eggshell, use chopsticks to clamp it. Then separate the white, tender and salty egg whites, revealing the red and orange egg yolk inside. With marinated egg yolk, the red oil will come out with a poke.
Or white rice porridge with Xiaolongbao. The small steamed buns must have a bite, so hot. Bite open the fluffy hot steamed bun skin, and savor the tender and salty meat inside.
As she thought about it, her belly makes a very untimely "guru guru" sound, which stood out in the quiet moment.
Everyone looked at her, and she smiled embarrassedly, "I thought of coming over to greet the old madam earlier, so I didn't have breakfast."
The old lady put down her chopsticks, and said indifferently, "My third daughter-in-law, there is still some congee and side dishes in the kitchen. Why don't you have a meal with me."
Jiang Shuyao is not stupid, and know how to refuse, "No, old madam please eats. Daughter-in-law will naturally serve by the side. How can mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to have breakfast on the same table." Of course, she didn't really want to eat this bland porridge and pickles.
The old lady replied unhurriedly, "Yes, also these dishes are not suitable for your taste, otherwise you wouldn't have set up a small kitchen in your courtyard as soon as you got married."
This yin and yang tone was strange, but Jiang Shuyao pretended not to hear it. She blinked, her eyes gleamed and her eyes were clear, "Daughter-in-law's mother's appetite is not very good, so daughter-in-law loves to think about food on daily basis, hoping that her mother can eat two more meals. After I got married, I saw my husband's hard work, thinking that if I could make some warm vegetable soup to relieve him once or twice, it would be better." As she said this, her face was not red and her heartbeat is not fast.

Is her cooking delicious? That is inevitable.
To feed Xie Xun? Uh... he has freeload some meals a few times, so it's not a lie.
Xu -shi is in charge of the domestic affairs of Duke Xie's mansion. There are her people everywhere. Naturally, she knows that Jiang Shuyao is lying.
Her gaze swept across Jiang Shuyao's face. This woman is... really thick skin.
However, she did not give less food for the twins, even Xie Yao, a picky eater, could eat a lot every time.
Thinking of this, Xu -shi spoke for her in an unprecedented way, "The third brother can't put the book down when he starts reading. If the small kitchen is always ready to make some soup, it is better than letting people go back and forth to the main kitchen."
The old lady nodded. It's acceptable to think so, but... What kind of good dishes can Jiang -shi 's temperament do? It's better to send a few cooks and maids to Xie Xun's courtyard.
She asked people to clean the table and chatted for a while as usual. Xu -shi and Zhou -shi left, leaving Jiang Shuyao to copy the scriptures in the small Buddhist hall.
Knowing that she hasn't eaten, but asked her to copy the scriptures. Jiang Shuyao knew that the old madam wanted to fix her.
Although she doesn't have the talent for fighting in the big house, she has read novels. There are a lot of means to clean up daughter-in-law in secret, and the old madam's method is still mild.
She kneeled in front of the table in the small Buddhist hall, and when the nanny was gone, she took out two cakes wrapped in oil paper from her arms. She made last night, and let Bai Zhi to help her heat it up in the morning when she washed. Hidden inside her arms, it is still hot.
Uncovering the oily paper, the scent of the fried brown crust on the outside came out. Jiang Shuyao took a satisfied breath and took a big bite.
"Kacha", the outer layer of the puff pastry is crispy and the inner layer is soft. After biting the cake, the oily smell of lard instantly penetrates into her nasal cavity. The peppery dough are sufficient and the seasoning is simple, just some chopped green onion and salt. The meat filling has a faint numbing taste, but it retains the most fragrant and tender side of the meat, without a trace of fishy smell.

The fat of the pork belly has been roasted and dipped into the crust, giving the crust the smell of fat and fire.
Jiang Shuyao finished the meat pastry in three bites, and took out another shredded carrot cake.
The shredded carrot cake tastes much more refreshing than the meat pastry. The shredded carrot has a bitter taste, but it is very weak. There are more of a fresh vegetable fragrance, crisp and refreshing, and there is still sweetness in the mouth after eating.
This meal was very comfortable, Jiang Shuyao sat on the futon comfortably and waited for the taste to dissipate.
She doesn't want to start copying the scriptures until she was full, and when she was idle, she saw the Buddha statue, and feel a little embarrassed.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, I'm really sorry. I'm too hungry, I don't mean to be disrespectful." She turned over, knelt on the futon and knocked her head a few times.
After the prayer, Jiang Shuyao went outside to ask for a cup of tea, but the mother mistakenly thought that she was extremely hungry and drank a cup of tea to pad her stomach.
The nanny was too old and she couldn't bear it. Her eyes full of pity stayed on her for a few moments, and Jiang Shuyao was very guilty.
In the next few days, Jiang Shuyao was very disciplined. She was the first to come, and the last to leave. After seeing more on how Xu -shi served the elderly, she also learned a little bit. From time to time, she helped the old madam to put on a backrest or something, with attentive eyes and quick hands.
Finally on the seventh day, Jiang Shuyao saw that the old madam was in a good mood and handed in the scriptures that she had copied.
The old madam took it. She almost forgot about this. Which of her first two daughters-in-law did not finished copying it on the second or third day.
She flipped it casually, but with only one glance, her brows wrinkled fiercely.
"What are you writing!" The old lady has never seen such an ugly characters in her life.
Jiang Shuyao was depressed, "Scriptures." She really feels that her writing was not that bad.
"You, you are just perfunctory!" The old madam became more and more angry. After ten days of copying and the result is this ghost image, it is better not to write. If she says that it is serious, this is a disrespect to Bodhisattva.
"Daughter-in-law dare not." Jiang Shu was wronged. Who can understand the pain of a scum, "Daughter-in-law is not good at academics, no matter how hard I write, the words will be like this, but I wrote every word seriously, with sincere respect. So why not just pay attention to my 'sincerity' when copying the scriptures."
"Okay, you still talk back, I think you will start talking about flowers." The old lady insisted that she was perfunctory and rubbed her temples, "Forget it, forget it, since you are unwilling to pay attention, how can I force you?"
Jiang Shuyao was too wronged. Her wrist was sore after copying scriptures these days, but she was detained.
The old lady saw that her head is drooping, and her pitiful appearance made her heart more congested.
Why does her perfect son marry such a woman?
The more she thought about it, the more distressed she became. She waved her hand to make Jiang Shuyao to leave quickly, and not to dangle in front of her.
The nanny hurriedly stepped forward and rubbed her temples, "Old madam, it's not worth it to be angry."
The old lady could only mutter her hopes, "Just wait for the time to come and he could leave her."
Jiang Shuyao returned. In the yard, she stood under the corridor for a while, and called Bai Zhi, "You say, will Duke Xie's mansion dismiss me?"
Bai Zhi and the maid behind her were so scared that they knelt down, "Miss!"
Jiang Shuyao really didn't understand. She just wanted to ask them about this. So when she saw them do this, she said anxiously, "If you kneel then what am I doing! I'm just asking you."
"Miss." Bai Zhi tremblingly looked up at her, and saw that she was not angry, so she stood up tentatively and asked. "Why do you ask this?"
"I have always had this confusion. When I married into Xie Guogong's mansion, I was forced to marry. If I wanted to quit, I have to care about Xiangyang's mansion and the imperial concubines, but if I found a way, I wouldn't fall for this."
"Miss..." Bai Zhi felt distressed when she saw her clearly. Although the young lady used to be stubborn and arrogant, she has changed now, simply because she has a deep admiration for her husband, but this admiration has broken her heart.
Bai Zhi lowered her head, and couldn't say any words of comfort.
Jiang Shuyao held her chin and thought, "You say, what will it be like when I go back to my maternal family after I have divorced?"
"Miss will definitely find a beloved person again." This also agrees with the idea that Jiang Shuyao will be abandoned eventually.

Jiang Shuyao's scalp is numb, "Then what if I don't marry anymore?" Who knows who will marry her next? In case the other party is a pervert or have group of masters in the backyard, she will not know how she died. Xie Xun can be regarded as an excellent stock. Whether he does or does not touch her, although he has a coffin face all day long, he has a good temper and looks pleasing to the eye. Looking at him a few more times will make her mood better.
"Then looking for a Taoist temple to live there." Bai Zhi is puzzled by Jiang Shuyao's reluctance to remarry.
Taoist temples are not comparable to large houses. The safety, housing and food are major issues.
Jiang Shuyao feels that her future was dark. She is rubbing her head and wailing, "God, I hope Xie Xun will leave me later."
Xie Xie came back to pick up a letter, and heard Jiang Shuyao's words at the corner of the corridor.
He paused and frowned slightly. His already cold face became even more alienated.
Stepping forward slightly, he looked at the back of the woman down the corridor.
Her hair is piled high, and a few jade hairpins were simply inserted. Her black hair is like ink, and her slender neck looks more white and fragile. Even if she is wearing an elegant white dress, she could not hide her graceful and luxurious temperament.
He retracted his gaze and pulled his thoughts back from his memory of saving people in the water that day.
Jiang -shi , after all, is too obsessed with him.
But why bother? Even if she marry him, he can't give back the same sincerity.
