When Master Bai came out from Qili Village, he brought a lot of local goods, especially Zhou Zhoulang, who packed several jars of bamboo shoots peeled and pickled this spring.
Xiaoqian took out a handful of bamboo shoots from the jar, chopped the beef and stewed it, and when the stew was almost done, he put the chopped bamboo shoots in and fried them together, and stewed them again.
Then she turned to pull the noodles.
She prepared the noodles, took them out and put them in a bowl. She put only a handful of green vegetables in a bowl of noodles, and poured a spoonful of the prepared glutinous rice dumplings on it. After a while, a bowl of noodles was placed in front of everyone.
Man Bao immediately mixed it with his hands, calling everyone to eat quickly, you are welcome...
Naturally, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were not polite, they started to eat after mixing, and they couldn't help filling another bowl after finishing one bowl.
Yin had a weak spleen and stomach, but he couldn't resist eating the whole bowl of noodles. Sure enough, as Zhou Man said, once he ate it, he would never forget it again.
Only then did he vaguely understand why Su Guogong likes beef so much, because beef is really delicious.
They had a simple bowl of noodles, while Lao Zhou followed Mr. Bai and the others to have a very sumptuous lunch with officials from the Ministry of Rites and Gu Zhong.
When sending off the officials from the Ministry of Rituals, he still had some unfinished thoughts, but as soon as he returned to his yard, he smelled a special fragrance.
He couldn't help asking: "What is so fragrant?"
Man Bao poked his head out from the kitchen and said, "Father, you are back, sister-in-law is cooking bones for us."
Old Zhou came forward, licking his belly, and asked, "Master Bai's house has a lot of delicious food, why are you still starting the fire yourself?"
Bai Erlang nodded again and again, and greeted everyone, "You can come to my house to eat tonight, my father is happy, he must have made a lot of delicious food."
Man Bao asked: "Father, did the officials from the Ministry of Rites mention the approximate wedding date?"
Old Zhou said: "I didn't say anything. I heard that another princess will be married. I heard that. It will be two or three years later. But I asked if Master Bai will live in the princess's mansion or in the future." Buy another house in the capital to live in."
Old Zhou couldn't help but glanced at Bai Erlang, and said: "Actually, it's good for us to live together. There's no need to buy another house to live in. When the princess gets married and has a princess mansion, it will be more affluent."
The main reason is that in the past year, it has been much more convenient for the three families to do many things together, and various expenses have been reduced, and everyone living together is also affectionate.
Especially now that Master Bai has become in-laws with the emperor.
Old Zhou Tou didn't know if Mr. Bai was dizzy or not, anyway, he was a little dizzy. All he had to think about was that Mr. Bai was the emperor's in-laws, and not to mention that he was living with the emperor's in-laws, he and Mr. Bai were also relatives.
His daughter's husband's cousin = his daughter's relative, which is equal to his relative, so when mixed, he is also the emperor's relative.
Old Zhou Tou never thought that he would still have such a moment, and he hadn't recovered from his nerves until Bai Shan and the others took Yin You back to his yard to rest.
He called Man Bao and asked, "When I go back to the village, if I say that I am a relative of the emperor's in-laws, the officials will not accuse me of crimes, will they?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "Probably not, who doesn't have a few poor relatives."
Old Zhou thought about it, but he retorted: "Our family is not poor now."
Seeing that her father was so happy to be a relative of the emperor, Man Bao remembered that she was going to resign, and she still didn't say anything, got up and patted her clothes and said, "Father, take a rest first, I'll go see Mr. .”
Bai Shan and the others are also with the husband, there is no way, Master Bai doesn't really want to see the children today, now that he has calmed down, he feels a little ashamed of being excited before.
But Mrs. Bai didn't take it seriously, she sat beside him and chattered, "...I heard that Princess Mingda is the daughter of the emperor and the empress, and she is the most favored princess among all the princesses. How much dowry do you think we have to prepare to be worthy of her? "
He said again: "Should we buy another house in the capital to live in? We can't all live in the princess mansion. I don't mind. I'm just afraid that Erlang will be in trouble. If the royal people say that he What about eating soft rice?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Bai became troubled again, "I don't know if the princess will get along well, and if she will bully Erlang in the future."
Master Bai said: "You are too worried. Didn't you hear what Erlang said? They are friends. Haven't you met someone and said that he is very gentle?"
"But Princess Tian is always majestic, right?"
Master Bai said: "No matter how majestic she is, she is still your daughter-in-law. You must keep the etiquette. Don't be too vain. That would be embarrassing Erlang."
"You are honest, why are you dizzy today?"
Master Bai: "I... I'm so happy. I'm so happy that Erlang can marry a wife."
But in fact, he was still in a trance. Master Bai was a very self-aware person. Although he was born in the Bai family, he was considered a side branch of the family, but his father died early.
Why did he choose to settle in the remote Qili Village with so many properties
Apart from the fact that the land in Qili Village is really good in Fengshui, it's just to avoid some people.
It is said that a single tree is hard to support. His grandfather divided their branch, and he has only two sons under him.
Although my family can't get involved in his branch's affairs, I always find excuses to repair my family's ancestral hall, or ask him for some money to support the widows and widows in the family;
Not only the family, but also some officials in the prefecture and county can always find an excuse to come to get money.
Master Bai didn't have any ambitions, and he also knew that he would not be an official examiner, so he simply moved to Qili Village with his family, just in time to avoid the disturbances outside, go out to socialize occasionally, and keep close to the outside world relationship is fine.
He always thought that their team could establish a firm foothold in the prefecture and county after Dalang. As for Erlang, he was already very satisfied that he could be a farmer in peace.
After all, the child was genuine leather when he was a child.
Master Bai didn't expect such a naughty boy to be favored by the emperor, and took their family directly to a new level. He swallowed and said, "I have to thank Mr. Zhuang for this matter."
Mrs. Bai nodded, "I have to thank Mr. Zhuang. I didn't make a mistake just now thanks to Mr. Zhuang for smoothing things over."
Master Bai glanced at her and said: "I have to thank Zhou Man and Shan Bao. I remember that my uncle sent a piece of Lantian jade? Just divide it into four pieces and make a jade pendant for each of them."
Mrs. Bai was taken aback, and asked, "Don't you want to give it as a gift, and make Da Lang famous at that time? You also said that you need to take the imperial examination to make your name famous."
Master Bai said: "I don't need it now, take it out for the children to use."
He is already the emperor's in-laws, is there still a need to send a piece of jade around to seek fame
