Gu Yanjing is a third-generation rich man, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and has been living a life of luxury since childhood. He was appointed as the overlord of the Gu family at the age of five. Does such a person need to cook? Would the Gu family agree? It must be because the ancestral craftsmanship cannot be lost!
The more Xia Qianqian thought about it, the more it made sense. The burden in her heart was relieved and she began to enjoy the braised pork happily.
The soup was bright red, rich but not greasy, moderately salty and slightly sweet... Xia Qianqian ate while commenting in her mind, and unknowingly finished a small half of it.
"Delicious." Xia Qianqian finally put down her chopsticks and rubbed her belly with great satisfaction. She had to save some of this delicious braised pork and let her mother and sister taste it tomorrow.
She leaned back in her chair and thought of a new question: Who is Gu Yanjing's ancestor? Why did the ancestor send her braised pork
After much thought, there is still only one suspect: Gu Changsheng.
First, Gu Changsheng and Gu Yanjing seemed to be cut from the same mold, and their genes could be confirmed. Second, she had dined with Gu Changsheng at Juxianlou before, and she disliked the braised pork at Juxianlou, so he knew her preferences. Third, she was Gu Yanjing's wife, which meant she was Gu Changsheng's great-great-great-great-great-grandson's wife. They were family, so they had a good impression of each other.
In this way, Gu Changsheng's kindness to her can be explained: helping the younger generation is the responsibility of the elders!
Haha, she has a backer now. When she meets Gu Changsheng next time, she knows how to deal with him - the younger generation must respect the elders!
Xia Qianqian was overjoyed. She hummed a little tune, put away the leftover braised pork, and went back to her room to sleep.
——
The next morning, Xia Ruyu, Xia Yu and Liu Wan'er came to see Xia Qianqian impatiently. To show her sincerity, Xia Ruyu also brought a gift - two packs of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes bought from the county.
"Sister, I'm here." Xia Yu ran in happily.
Xia Qianqian was washing rice and preparing to cook. Seeing Xia Yu coming so early, she asked curiously, "Yu'er, why are you here again?"
"Grandpa said that I can come here every day from now on. He asked me to learn to read and write well from my elder sister so that I can take the exam to become a scholar in the future," said Xia Yu.
Xia Qianqian was very happy: "This is great, we can be together every day."
"Sister, aunt is here too."
Xia Qianqian was stunned. She looked up and saw Xia Ruyu and Liu Wan'er standing at the door. Her first feeling was: Damn it, they are here to fight!
She put down the work in her hands, rolled up her sleeves and prepared for the battle.
Xia Ruyu walked in with a smile on her face and said kindly, "Qianqian, I'm here to bring you some osmanthus cake."
Xia Qianqian was stunned again.
Liu Wan'er was holding two paper bags in her hands. "Cousin, this is osmanthus cake from the most famous cake shop in our county. It's delicious."
Xia Qianqian looked down at Xia Yu in confusion and asked with her eyes: Are they really here to deliver food
"Sister, I told your story to my family yesterday. My aunt and cousin Wan'er liked it very much. We came here today specially to listen to your story." Xia Yu blinked at Xia Qianqian.
Xia Qianqian suddenly realized: Xia Yu was successful in dealing with people at home, and she had caught Xia Ruyu's eye!
Xia Ruyu said: "Qianqian, I didn't expect you to be so capable. You really bring honor to our old Xia family."
"Not bad!" Xia Qianqian smiled, as if accepting Xia Ruyu. It is better to make friends than to make enemies.
"I have already made an agreement with your grandparents that Xia Yu can come over anytime in the future. You should teach him well, and if possible, let him go to town to study, pass the imperial examinations, and lead the Xia family out of Yangliu Village." Xia Ruyu.
Xia Qianqian didn't expect Xia Ruyu to be so family-oriented. She was surprised but also somewhat appreciative: "Don't worry, aunt. As the eldest sister, I also hope that Yu'er can have a great future."
