Xiangyun burst into laughter with a "puchi", quickly shook his head and said, "Grandma didn't say there is any restriction, so there should be no restrictions."

Only then did Mrs. Fang happily pick up the chopsticks again, but Duan Tingxuan beside him said: "Grandmother, you really can't eat too much."

"Why? Isn't this your filial piety to me? Could it be that you are greedy and afraid of being eaten up by me, so you don't allow me to eat more?" Mrs. Fang "glared" at her grandson: What about filial piety? Is it that filial? Bully my wife

"grandmother."

Duan Tingxuan couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect his grandmother who always valued etiquette to be a foodie, no wonder he couldn't move his legs when he arrived at Meiyue Tower, well, the root cause is here. He just said, his parents take food very lightly, so who does his suddenly appearing delicious character look like? It turned out to be like an old lady.

"Huh?" Mrs. Fang snorted out of her nose, the meaning was obvious: what explanation do you have

"Grandma, there are two more dishes. If you eat this big plate of Liangpi, will you still have stomach for the leftovers? Don't blame my grandson for not reminding you, that bone soup is really rare. Unbelievably delicious."

"It's dangerous, I almost forgot about this." In front of the food, the always serious old lady could actually joke, and even wiped her forehead with her hands on purpose, as if she was really scared into a cold sweat, and then She was puzzled again: "Bone soup? Isn't that stuff usually used as a side dish or as a side dish? Why? Can you drink it directly?"

Duan Tingxuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, this bone soup contributed by grandson can be drunk directly. When you drink it, you will know that it really tastes like it should only be in the sky. How many times can you drink it in the world?"

"It's so delicious? You even tampered with the poems of your predecessors?" Mrs. Fang was angry and funny. Here, Duan Tingxuan couldn't wait any longer. He reached out to lift the third lid, but saw that the plate was quite ordinary. Things, bean sprouts with fresh bamboo shoots, just stir-fried in the pot. This kind of dish is often eaten in Hou's mansion, and everyone is relieved to see it, secretly thinking that there is a normal dish.

It's just that although it's a very common dish, what kind of cooking skills does Su Nuannuan have? After many years of self-reliance, he has already mastered all kinds of seasonings to the point of proficiency. This culinary skill, even the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room can't match it, how can it be compared by a few cooks in the Hou's mansion

Mrs. Fang ate half a plate of bean sprouts with the rice in one go, until she was almost full, and then remembered that the meal was not ready yet. I really can't believe that I will have such a day of ecstasy, so the old lady's face is a little embarrassed, and she keeps saying: "Let's eat, let's eat, I don't feel comfortable if you watch me eat."

Everyone couldn't help but quietly rolled their eyes, thinking to themselves, are you always embarrassed to say such a thing? You ate half of the plate when you were uncomfortable, but if you were more comfortable, would you have to swallow the plate as well? Really, it's just fried bean sprouts with sour bamboo shoots. As for eating something so sweet? What good things haven't you eaten

Though thinking this way, everyone smiled and comforted them. Mrs. Yang has always been reticent in front of her mother-in-law, but today, because of her son's brilliance, she smiled and joked for the first time: "Why is the old lady in such a hurry to drive us away? It's not too late, so let us see That taste should only exist in the sky, and you can drink bone soup a few times in the world before leaving."

Before the words fell, everyone burst into laughter, and the old lady Fang also pointed at Mrs. Yang and laughed up and down, and finally stopped laughing and said: "Well, well, it's obviously your son's brilliance, you mother-in-law are also fighting with me It’s up. Forget it, so that you don’t say that my wife eats alone, I’ll let you all see it, and I’ll open your eyes too. I know that bone soup is very delicious, but it can also be drunk directly? I’ve never heard of it.”

While speaking, Duan Tingxuan had already lifted the lid on the fourth big bowl, and immediately, a strong meaty fragrance spread out. Xue Zhilan smiled and said: "It really is very fragrant. Is this the bone soup that the master said? Why doesn't it look like it? What are those inside? It seems to have red dates. This...is peanuts?"

For a while, everyone chattered. Mrs. Fang couldn't wait to drink a small bowl, and she was full of praise. Looking at the daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law and several young grandchildren around her, she laughed and said, "Okay, I can't finish eating these, Qiuling, you give the big guys a share, so you can eat as much as you want." It’s impossible to be full, let’s taste it, it’s really delicious like I’ve never tasted before.”

Everyone's curiosity had already been aroused. Hearing Mr. Fang's words, he thanked Mr. Fang noisily, which made the old lady laugh again, and then said to Qiu Ling: "That's all, I'm really happy today, and my appetite feels good, you peel a rice dumpling and I'll eat it, I want meat stuffing."

Duan Tingxuan said with a smile: "The old lady should eat less, they also make zongzi there, but they can make them at night. I heard that there are many tricks, and I will ask some for the old lady to try."

The old lady Fang was stunned, but immediately came to his senses, nodded with a smile and said, "Where are they? Well! Okay, let me see what tricks the rice dumplings can make this time?"

There are a lot of things, but if you give such people a point, there is not much. Because of their young age, the children almost rounded up those smoothies. The adults just tasted it. Although they also thought it was delicious and wanted to eat more, whoever had the nerve to argue with the children could only I can watch a few children rob each other and eat happily.

Because of such an unexpected joy, this Dragon Boat Festival family banquet was really enjoyable. It's just that when the luncheon was over, Mrs. Fang excused that she was tired, leaving only Duan Tingxuan to talk in the room, and after spending all the others, the smiles on the faces of many people faded away, and all kinds of thoughts Unable to hide it anymore, they appeared on the faces of the masters one after another.

"Where did the eldest brother get these new dishes to eat? Well, this is a Dragon Boat Festival. We prepared so many rare spices. We thought we could show our filial piety in front of the old lady this time, but we asked him to use some of them. The food stole the limelight, and it turned out to be a waste of effort, not reconciled, I am really not reconciled."

Shi chanted bitterly in the room, but her husband did not respond. When she looked up, she saw Duan Tingye pacing slowly, so she said angrily: "What's the use of you just walking around? Find a way."

Duan Tingye glared at his wife, and said angrily, "So what if I don't walk around? Is there a way?"

Shi Shi stood up and said: "It is impossible for these foods to come out for no reason. I thought, someone who has such a delicate mind and is good at cooking must be a woman. According to the nature of the eldest brother, is there someone outside him? Because it’s not good, I took it home like this, so I had to find a way to please the old lady first, as long as the old lady is satisfied, he will be able to mention this matter.”

The more she talked, the more she felt that her analysis was correct, because she pushed Duan Tingye and said with a smile: "You usually walk outside, don't you hear any news about this? If there are rumors, just try to find out, and then reveal it. Are you still afraid that the big house will not be lively? By then, won’t the master be even more disappointed with the big brother?”

Duan Tingye shook his head and said: "You have a good idea, but I haven't heard such rumors. What's more, big brother's temper, even the courtesan in the brothel was carried in the door that day, what else would he care about? There is no need to start The old lady started? In my opinion, although today's incident is strange, it is not without trace. Those two girls were clearly by the sister-in-law's side that day, and the old lady recognized it today. You say... will these Could it be made by my sister-in-law?"

Shi frowned, and said with a disdainful smile: "How can that incompetent poisonous woman have such a delicate heart? If she really had, she wouldn't have been sent to Meiyue Tower in the first place. Listen to me, those two girls It’s just that elder brother used them to cover up people’s eyes and ears, he must have someone outside again, you should put in the effort to find out, if you really want to find out, it will be of great benefit to us.”

Duan Tingye couldn't help but be moved by his wife's analysis. Or is it important to say that it is important to marry a wife? Look at Duan Erye, just because he married such a greedy and insidious woman, but this Shi family has great potential to write novels, once his imagination spreads, he can't stop it. As a result, Second Master Duan spent the next half month trying to find the non-existent "woman outside Duan Tingxuan", but in the end it was a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket. .

Of course, although Shi Shi is a bad woman and Duan Erye is not a good bird, but the husband and wife are really like-minded in this regard, so under the same heart as the husband and wife, there are no other women in the second room except for the two maids. , we have to admit that, in this respect, Erye Duan still has a lot of devotion to dumping his flirtatious elder brother Batiaojie.

In the final analysis, it was the lack of information and Shi's imagination that should not be underestimated, which led to Duan Erye's tragedy. Someone like Xu Ranyun would not make such a mistake.

The appearance of Honglian and Xiangyun suddenly sounded an alarm in her heart. A few days ago, Duan Tingxuan went to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but after she came back but there was no sound, she had already raised the threat of the three servants of Meiyuelou Building. up two grades. It's just that because the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, there are too many things to do, and I didn't take care of it for a while, thinking that after the Dragon Boat Festival is over, I will strictly guard against it, and I must extinguish the small flame of my father's resurgent love for that woman in the cold stove. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the small flame suddenly burst into a big fire, and suddenly burned in front of Mrs. Fang. Maybe it would wrap the woman and burn back to the backyard soon. Can it not make her frightened and angry
