Aunt Jing lowered her head and pondered for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Grandma Yun is impatient and vicious; Grandma Lan is weak and deep; A young master sent it over. That’s all, just be careful. After Brother Chuan’s incident came out, I expected that no one would dare to make fuss about the children. The master has not relaxed about this matter, and everyone in the house knows Now you want to use the children to make a fuss, aren't you in a hurry to give Grandpa a handle?"
The two chatted for a while, and Aunt Jing's maid came over, saying that some women were waiting to ask for some arrangements and expenses for the New Year's Day, and Aunt Jing got up and left. Here, Honglian served Su Nuannuan a bowl of tea, and said with a smile, "Grandma, my aunt is taking care of more and more things now, which is a good thing."
Su Nuannuan sneered and said, "It's forgivable to do evil in the sky, but you can't live in self-inflicted evil. Grandma Yun has been creating evil winds in the mansion for so long, and even Brother Chuan's things are probably caused by her. She brazenly manages the house, wouldn't it make people see that there is no one in our Marquis's mansion? Aunt Jing is fair, and there are many changes. I asked a few people, and they all praised them. It is the right way. Grandma Yun loves to dance, so let her dance in Xia Yuxuan from now on, so as not to harm everyone in the mansion."
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the new year, and this day was exactly the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, and the house was full of excitement for a new year.
After finishing the dinner with Mrs. Fang in the North Courtyard, Su Nuannuan wanted to go back to Chunfengyuan, but when she saw Duan Tingxuan approaching, she whispered: "Grandma Yun is now in charge of housekeeping, look at her face, pitiful It looks like, why don't you go and sit down."
"She brought it on herself, I've clearly reminded her." Duan Tingxuan glanced at Xu Ranyun. The tone is not very good. Although the investigation of Duan Maochuan's diarrhea incident has come to an impasse, several clues point to Xu Ranyun vaguely, and it seems that there are shadows of people around Xue Zhilan in it. However, this was all speculation in the young master's own heart, without any direct evidence, as Su Nuannuan said, it was too eager at the time. All evidence is destroyed. At this moment, it is extremely difficult to find clues again.
Because of this, Duan Tingxuan's attitude towards the two flat wives has changed. From the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want to be with them anymore, and once in a while, he feels that there are temptations and complaints in the words, and he gets tired of it even more. It happened to be busy during this time, so they spent the night in Chunfengyuan. It's just that except for the two girls Xiangyun Honglian, no one knows that he and Su Nuannuan have never shared the same bed.
"Whether it's self-inflicted or not, it's already happened..." Su Nuannuan wanted to speak earnestly, but was glared at by her husband: "Did I ever say that I hate your attitude of pushing me away? Let's go. There is something important I need to discuss things with you."
"You hate me for pushing you out today. What did the three wives and four concubines do? Since you are in the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being fifteen." Su Nuannuan still has resentment in her heart: such a handsome and wealthy man A good-looking husband who is a foodie, humorous, strong and reliable. But because of her own principles, she can only watch but not eat, and she is also very depressed, okay
Go back to Spring Breeze Court. Paying all the girls, Duan Tingxuan pondered for a long time, Fang asked Su Nuannuan softly: "I may go to the south of the Yangtze River after the beginning of spring, would you like to go sightseeing with me?"
"Traveling in the mountains and rivers?" Su Nuannuan was surprised: "You are in a high position, but you still have time to travel in the mountains and rivers? Why? Could it be that the crown prince is suspicious of you?"
"Don't think about it." Duan Tingxuan glared at Su Nuannuan: "Can't you think of me?" After finishing speaking, he knocked on the table with his fingers, and said in a low voice: "Pingzhang has been dead for almost three months, and even the body is dead. I can't find it, after the emperor was furious, he seemed to let go of the matter, but today he called me to the study, saying that he intends to send me to the south of the Yangtze River, and asked if I would go there openly or secretly."
"The emperor wants to send you to the south of the Yangtze River?" Su Nuannuan was even more shocked: the emperor sent Duan Tingxuan to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the death of a censor. It shows how much he attaches importance to this matter. Could it be that even the emperor paid attention to Xiangyang? Is Wang Qi suspicious
"I tend to investigate secretly. When the time comes, I should dress up carefully so that I can't show my feet." Having said that, he looked at Su Nuannuan, and seduced Su Nuannuan in a very contagious tone: "How? Are you going or not?" Jiangnan, a small building listening to the spring rain overnight, deep alleys in Jiangnan where apricot flowers were sold in Ming Dynasty, 480 temples in Southern Dynasty, Jiangnan in misty rain with many towers, old man leaving Yellow Crane Tower in the West, fireworks in Yangzhou in March... "
"Enough, I'll go."
Su Nuannuan was defeated, Duan Tingxuan was well versed in the way of seductiveness, these few lines of poems hit directly at his own vitals. She has been to Jiangnan several times in her previous life, but in this life, what is the style of Jiangnan in the superficial era? I really want to see it, especially when the season is good, the grass grows and the warblers fly, the flowers are red and the willows are green. After a night of spring rain, there are crisp and clear cries of flower girls in the narrow and long alleys. There are dozens of flowers in the basket with raindrops. apricot blossom...
"Okay, then it's settled." Duan Tingxuan smiled with a successful plan, and clapped his hands with Su Nuannuan: "You are too useless, I only read three poems, and I agreed, so I am ready The remaining 70 or 80 sentences are useless." The typical face of a villain who wants to be cheap and still behaves.
"I don't understand one thing." Su Nuannuan also deeply hates her lack of concentration, but she really wants to go out, travel around the south of the Yangtze River with Duan Tingxuan, and secretly investigate the inside story of Long Pingzhang's death. In this way, the great conspiracy of the King of Xiangyang will be uncovered, and it may be possible to vindicate the unjust case for his parents. The most important thing is: What delicacies and snacks are there in Jiangnan in this era? It should be different from my previous life, maybe I can learn a few tricks back.
"Which point don't you understand?" Duan Tingxuan was very happy when Su Nuannuan agreed to this matter, and the young master asked enthusiastically.
"What I have always shown is that I just like food, and I am a little greedy. How did you know that I also like these romantic romances? So you deliberately used these poems to deceive me?" Su Nuannuan was indeed very strange, The romantic cells in my bones have almost been taken over by foodie cells, where did Duan Tingxuan find out.
"Last time at Pushan Temple, the night was as cold as water, and you just wanted to collect dew under the moonlight. If you didn't like these romances in your bones, how could you do such a stupid thing..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Su Nuannuan narrowing his eyes dangerously. The young master realized that he had slipped his tongue, and quickly stood up and said, "Well... I remembered that I still have something to discuss with my second brother, so I'm leaving first."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Su Nuannuan yelled a few times, but Duan Tingxuan turned a deaf ear to it, and the wind under her feet left the courtyard in a blink of an eye, making her angry and funny, and muttered to herself: "I didn't say anything, as for you?" ?” After finishing speaking, he picked up the kang and embroidered a few stitches, and his mind could not help but fly to the south of the Yangtze River where the grass grows and the warblers fly in February. The scenery of the twenty-four bridge on a moonlit night should be extremely beautiful, right? But I don't know what identity Duan Tingxuan would use if he wanted to disguise himself for a private visit? Is it possible to pretend to be a fisherman, and because of the lack of a fish lady, that guy will take aim at me
No matter what the reason is, Su Nuannuan's heart was aroused, and even the New Year that she was excitedly looking forward to before couldn't extinguish the heat.
"Grandma really worked hard today. During the new year, everyone can have a few days of leisure, but you are busy in the kitchen yourself. Who can see it?"
The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day for making dim sum. Su Nuannuan brought Xiangyun to the kitchen early in the morning, and directed the cooks to make a lot of dim sum, except for the sourdough marijuana and golden shortbread that everyone in the house likes. In addition to the snowy bean paste, there are also many oiled corners wrapped in oil. After wrapping the oiled corners, the shapeless broken noodles are thrown into the pan by her and fried. They are sweet and fragrant fried slices. Because Duan Tingye specifically asked for rose cakes to be kept secret, they couldn't be made in the kitchen, but other than that, a lot of preparations were made for siu mai, pumpkin cakes, red dates rice cakes, and peanut cakes.
The daughter-in-law of the Xue family naturally had to work hard to flatter her at this moment, she moved a clean chair herself, let Su Nuannuan sit down and rest, and brought a cup of hot tea and two plates of freshly fried snacks over, but Su Nuannuan just After drinking the tea, he said softly: "You have to know what is in the kitchen. After I leave, let everyone continue to work. Then everyone in the house can get it. Wait until the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Things are arranged, go to my small kitchen to help me for two days, and I have to make some new tricks, and it’s Chinese New Year, so I can’t just use these old things to deal with it, can I?”
"Is this still called Laobayang? The fried slices and oil horns that grandma said have never been eaten..." Xue's daughter-in-law was excited, but Su Nuannuan shook her head slightly and smiled: "It's something from Lingnan, even if I If you don’t make it, it will come back sooner or later. You go to my small kitchen on the 28th, and the real fresh dim sum is made at that time. In fact, according to my thoughts, I will make it in this kitchen, but your second master is like guarding state secrets. Well, if it is done in the kitchen, he has to lead people to surround the kitchen, and one person has to be in charge of it. Anyway, I can’t let people learn all the methods. I have no choice but to ask you to help. Fortunately, Everything is ready-made, and we will start making it directly after you go.”
"Yes, grandma, don't worry, even if the servants go all out and stay up at night, they will ensure that the kitchen is properly settled before the twenty-eighth. The second master is actually right. We must guard against others. Our restaurant in the Hou's mansion is counting on This makes money."
The daughter-in-law of Xue's family happily agreed, and only then did she understand Su Nuannuan's intention to ask her for a lot of ingredients a few days ago. Because she sent the master and servant out respectfully, she became more vocal after returning to the kitchen. More than 20 people in the entire kitchen were sent around.
