Rise of the Poor

Chapter 526: The secret at the dinner table

Views:

When Zhu Pingan saw a red scarf after getting up in the morning, he felt his face turn red. Seeing it reminded him of the scene he couldn't bear to look back on last night, and of course the crotchless pants of a girl and the scenery inside her pants...

When the little maid Baozi came in to help Li Shu wash and dress, she couldn't help but glance at Zhu Ping'an with a smile. She also knew the truth about Luo Hongjin. It was she who suggested raising hands to stop the bleeding last night.

While helping Li Shu to wash and dress, the two maids would glance at Zhu Ping'an from time to time and whisper in his ear.

"Cough cough..." Zhu Ping'an coughed in dissatisfaction while eating noodles.

"Why are you blushing?" Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile and asked in a tender voice. Her big watery eyes were charming and coquettish, and her small, rosy lips were slightly upturned, exuding a charming scent.

"The noodles are too hot." Zhu Ping'an pursed his lips, his face abnormally red.

The noodles are too hot? Haha, everyone in the room, including Zhu Ping'an, knew that Zhu Ping'an's words were an excuse. From the time his mother Chen made the noodles and brought them to the time Zhu Ping'an got up, almost half an hour had passed. No matter how hot the noodles were, they should have warmed up.

"Oh... husband, don't just eat noodles, eat the vegetables too. I personally asked the kitchen to prepare them." Li Shu blinked and pointed to the table in front of Zhu Ping'an, full of care and love.

What a naughty little goblin!

Zhu Pingan gritted his teeth when he heard this. He really regretted not pressing this little devil on the bed last night and changing positions to do it again. Because the food on the table in front of him made Zhu Pingan grit his teeth: a dish of nourishing mutton soup, a dish of yellow leeks and mixed jellyfish, a dish of stir-fried pork kidneys, a dish of braised pigeon chicks, and a cup of milk tea.

It's so obvious that people really have the urge to press Li Shu down on the bed to prove it.

Mutton is rich in protein and has the effects of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, warming the middle and dispelling cold, warming qi and blood, and appetizing and strengthening the spleen.

I guess every Chinese person knows the benefits of leek, which can be called "leeks gold".

Jellyfish is a jellyfish, it looks like a parachute, and also like a white mushroom head. Wait, what the hell is a white mushroom head?! You can tell at a glance that it is not a serious dish!

The blood-stained landscape is picturesque, but what about the stir-fried kidney? I believe that every married man, seeing a plate of stir-fried kidney carefully cooked by his beloved wife, will have the awareness of a fierce battle on the battlefield today, and working late into the night is inevitable.

Pigeon chicks are young pigeons, which have the effects of "nourishing the kidney and replenishing qi, dispelling wind and detoxifying". The ancients believed that young pigeons were a natural tonic for men. The ancients believed that eating young pigeons regularly would allow men to carry a gun and ride a horse in their seventies and eighties. Those with better conditions could even imitate Zhao Zilong and do seven ins and seven outs. Therefore, those who have the conditions will often put out this tonic when needed.

One dish might be accidental, but a table of this kind was definitely not accidental. Especially the tone of Li Shu’s voice and the curve of her mouth proved that this table of delicious food was intentional.

So

What it means is now clear!

Damn it, I just had a nosebleed, it has nothing to do with kidney problems! The logical relationship is all wrong!

"Why don't you eat, my husband? It's because it's not to your taste. The mutton was bought by the servants from the streets of the East Corner Tower in town early in the morning. It's very fresh." Li Shu packed up everything, adjusted her earrings in the mirror, walked lightly to sit down opposite Zhu Ping'an, stretched out her slender little hand to pick up a piece of mutton for Zhu Ping'an, and asked with a smile.

The air is as fragrant as orchids, but it's useless! Black-bellied little goblin!

"Noodles are enough." Zhu Ping'an said lightly, then picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and sucked it into his stomach.

"Oh, the noodles taste salty. Husband, please have some milk soup." Li Shu attentively handed the small bowl of milk tea on the table to Zhu Ping'an.

It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. I was actually a little thirsty. The effects of those dishes were so good that I gritted my teeth. This milk tea was more pleasing to the eye.

So Zhu Ping'an took the milk tea and took a sip.

This sip of milk tea had just entered my mouth, but before it even reached my stomach, when I heard Li Shu's faint voice say:

"This is a small piece of milk that the wet nurse Xiao Zhao's family squeezed out this morning. It's very fresh."

Wait, nanny, is this freshly squeezed

Human milk

Ugh... ...

Hearing this, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but spit it out by leaning away from the table. It turned out to be human milk. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Even the scene of squeezing appeared in his mind! Before modern times, when Zhu Pingan saw the news about adult wet nurses, he felt a little nauseous and sneered at the maintenance methods of some people. It was just that it felt far away, but he didn't expect to be in it now. When he heard that he was drinking human milk, he was suddenly overwhelmed.

"My husband is so ungrateful. Girls have such a hard life. It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Once you get married, you have no choice. I wanted to please my husband, but he spat on me..."

Seeing Zhu Ping'an's reaction, Li Shu laughed heartlessly and made a resentful look on her face. Zhu Ping'an secretly resented this.

After breakfast, Zhu Ping'an took Li Shu to offer tea to Zhu's father and mother Chen. Li Shu also prepared gifts for his mother Chen and elder sister-in-law Juan'er - two sets of full gold head ornaments, the set for his mother Chen was heavier, and the set for elder sister-in-law Juan'er was lighter.

Originally, Baozi's maid prepared an agate and jade headpiece, but Li Shu changed it to a pure gold headpiece. "Although agate and jade are expensive, if you don't know the value of them, they are just a pile of broken stones. Gold is different."

Judging from the happy expressions of her mother Chen and her eldest sister-in-law Juan'er, Li Shu's decision was correct. If she had really given them agate jade, they would definitely not be as happy as they are now.

After serving tea, Zhu Ping'an took Li Shu to the old house. This is also a necessary procedure after marriage, just like returning to the parents' home after three days.

Xiahe Village is located in the mountains and beside the water, with beautiful scenery of green mountains and clear water. The paths in the village are shaded by trees, the river in front of the village is rich in fish and shrimp, the simple fences are entwined with vines, and the vines are blooming and bearing fruits. Walking on the paths in the village, you can smell the fragrance of fruits.

When walking across the slope at the west end of Xiahe Village, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but think of the days when he sat here in a daze as a child. When he first came to Daming, he often thought about life on this slope.

When they met villagers from time to time on the road, Zhu Ping'an always stopped to greet them and exchanged a few words. Li Shu also followed Zhu Ping'an to greet them, which made the villagers like Li Shu more. She was both beautiful and sensible. Where can you find such a daughter-in-law

Soon, we arrived at the old house. As we got closer, we heard a lot of noise from the old house, as if it was very lively. (To be continued.)
