"It's really hard to guard against house thieves by day and night." Looking at the messy kitchen, Su Nuannuan couldn't help sighing and shaking her head. Honglian and Xiangyun, who looked at the watery eyes, were ashamed, and the two girls lowered their heads together. Hearing Su Nuannuan say: "Forget it, anyway, it's not that there is no material, and you can do it again. Hey, when the wife came just now, why didn't you and Siping go out? Are you afraid of this?"

Hong Lian covered her lips and smiled: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that the opportunity for my wife to come is too coincidental. It just so happens that grandma and master are in the yard, which is the craziest time when they are out of shape. In grandma's words, the servants can only wait for that Say you don’t know you when you meet people? Where are you willing to go out?”

Su Nuannuan: ...

When I went, it turned out that people were not afraid of their wife, but felt that their master was too embarrassing and didn't want to admit it. Su Nuannuan was so angry that she began to seriously reflect on whether she was too kind to these two girls. This is a rhythm that is going to shake the sky. Why don't you see them acting so boldly towards Duan Tingxuan? Is it wrong for me to be too easy-going and gentle

"Sometimes, you don't have to tell the truth." Su Nuannuan poured the oil into the hot pot with no expression on her face. The topic said: "As for Siping, I'm really afraid of my wife. Grandma thinks, my wife must be angry with my grandfather's appearance, but if she gets angry again, it's not easy for my wife to beat me, right? Why can't I just hold my grandfather by his side?" Has the person taught me a lesson? Siping hides in the house and makes his wife think that he is not around, this is the way to protect himself."

"Cut!" Su Nuannuan smiled disdainfully: "Isn't he afraid that his master will sell him if he changes hands?"

"No." Hong Lian continued to smile: "Master is just a bit romantic, and he is actually very kind to people, especially to the servants. He protects his shortcomings. Grandma probably doesn't know about this incident today, and my wife is just being punished." The two grandmas came to force me to divorce my wife. It is not easy for me to keep my grandma with a few words, but it will be difficult to keep Siping again. So Siping is better to hide, and I will only praise him for his cleverness and winking. , how could he betray him? Grandma really underestimated Grandpa."

"What do you mean underestimating your master? I didn't take him seriously at all, do you understand? Don't slander me." Su Nuannuan tapped the red lotus head lightly, and then put the white sugar that had been shaped before Put the cakes into the pot one by one, fry them until golden brown, and take them out. This is the first time she has made white sugar cakes. Honglian and Xiangyun have never seen them before. When they smell the sweet aroma, they can't help but salivate. Xiangyun said : "Grandma, what is this? It's so sweet."

"This is also called white sugar cake. Didn't you see the effort I put into it? Soak the good glutinous rice, wash and filter..." Before I finished speaking, I heard Xiangyun say: "Yes, it was just a few days ago that grandma asked Hong Lian and I grabbed the glutinous rice flour that Siping pounded in the stone mortar, is that for this purpose?"

"Smart." Su Nuannuan nodded with a smile, but Honglian said: "I was not around when grandma made it this morning. What is the method? This shape is too strange. You teach me, wait for the servant to learn Now, grandma doesn’t have to do it herself, just let me know if you want to eat it.”

Su Nuannuan glanced at her, nodded and smacked her lips and said, "Okay, you have a conscience. In fact, it takes a lot of time to make rice noodles. It's no problem to make rice noodles. After making rice noodles, mix them with boiling water and knead them. Thin sliver, and then roll the thin sliver into thin slices, stack multiple thin slices together, turn it into a circle like this, put it in the pan to fry, and then take it out... "

"I know, you can eat it right away, right?" Xiang Yun yelled from the side, looking at the several white sugar cakes that were fished out of the basin, looking like she wished she could pounce on them and eat one right away.

Su Nuannuan gave her an annoyed look, and said lightly: "Congratulations, you will answer quickly, but unfortunately the answer is wrong. I said that this thing is called white sugar cake, but did you hear what I said has anything to do with white sugar?"

"Oh!" Xiangyun blinked his eyes: "I thought it was like twisted doughnuts, you can eat it after frying. Don't be fooled, grandma, what are the other steps? Tell the maidservant soon, and the maidservant is hungry."

"Who's trying to tell the truth? It's not that you are grabbing words. I've finished talking a long time ago, and you dare to frame me." Su Nuannuan snorted, and then said to Honglian: "Go and get a big white plate from the cupboard, put it on Put eight pieces of cake on top, then sprinkle with sugar and rice flour, and that's it, because of this, it's called white sugar cake, understand?"

Hong Lian smiled and said: "It's quite difficult to say. We also eat white sugar cakes on weekdays, but we don't do it this way."

Su Nuannuan paused slightly, then smiled nonchalantly: "The white sugar cake we eat on weekdays is filled with white sugar, but it's actually quite common. I also use white sugar for flavoring, so it's also called white sugar cake. Why bother?" No matter the name, just eat whatever you have."

"Yes, grandma is right." As Honglian said, she had already placed the white sugar cake on the plate as she said, and then sprinkled white sugar and rice flour, and said with a smile, "Look at it, grandma, does it look like the ground has fallen?" A layer of light snow? It looks tempting, and smells sweet, it really is a delicious snack, fortunately, this thing was not ready when Grandpa came, otherwise there might not be any left."

Su Nuannuan said angrily: "Your master is just greedy. Otherwise, he also gave me the fine snowflake white sugar, and he also gave me the fine glutinous rice. Why don't I let him eat two pieces? He's lucky, every time The next time I saw something to eat, I became greedy like a snake, wishing I could swallow it whole, and I was not afraid of being overwhelmed. The wife did not say that there are not many people in this mansion who do not hate me, the old lady is one of them, but those wives, concubines and friends, why should I make things cheaper for them? Hmph!"

Honglian wiped off her cold sweat, and said in a low voice: "Oh, grandma, wives and concubines understand, but... Who is the grandma of friends and friends?"

"It's his friends, except for the prince of the East Palace, aren't the others all dudes?" Su Nuannuan curled her lips, but saw Honglian's eyes straightened, and it took a long time to wipe the sweat from her forehead again: "Grandma, except for the prince of the East Palace Among my friends, there are also a few princes, young officials in the court, and young nobles, those dudes who are fighting chickens and running dogs, I actually disdain to associate with them."

"Really?" Su Nuannuan was puzzled, secretly thinking that a flirtatious guy would be so reliable in making friends? But the words have already been spoken, so of course they cannot be taken back, even with tears in them. Yin put his hands on his hips and said, "I don't care. Anyway, I don't know those people. I don't know them. They are friends. What's wrong with the young officials and nobles? Take that seat?"

The red lotus chicken nodded like pecking at rice: "Okay, grandma is right. The servant girl wondered why the master gave grandma so many things, and every time he ate something, grandma would scream and kill him. It turned out that it was because of this. In fact, the servant feels that the master is quite wronged."

Su Nuannuan said indifferently: "He was not wronged." As he spoke, he took out the last few pieces of white sugar cakes in the oil pan, and Xiangyun here quickly stepped forward to pick up the oil pan and put it on a shelf, and then poured it into the basin After scooping up the water, Su Nuannuan said in a serious voice while washing his hands: "My husband and I have long since broken off the relationship between husband and wife. No matter what he thinks, I will never be reunited with him in this life. With such a mentality, I can I can get along with him on an equal footing, which I think is pretty good. Now he provides me with food, teaches me kung fu, and in return, I also cook some delicious food for him. Everyone gets what they need, how wonderful. But he seems to be Don’t think this way, I’m trying to get me back to the backyard, you say, what am I going to do? Continue to intrigue with those wives and concubines to the death? I can’t live such a leisurely life, but I’m looking for something to block my heart, am I stupid? ?”

It was only then that Honglian really realized it, and said in a voiceless voice: "So it's like this, grandma just gave up on you and didn't want to go back, so she acted in such a aggressive manner to force you to give up on you, right?"

"Yes, that's it." Su Nuannuan wiped her hands on the white scarf, looked back at Honglian Xiangyun and smiled: "I know you two want me to go back, but it's a pity, what kind of wife do you value?" I don’t care about my status, my husband’s pets, I almost died once, and I can see everything clearly. In this world, the most important thing is to be able to live the life you want. So, don’t always talk about you in front of me. The good words of the Lord, even if you call him Erlang God, it is useless."

Honglian nodded and said: "The servant understands what grandma means. The servant and Xiangyun are grandma's dowry maids, so naturally only grandma obeys. But grandma, forgive me for being presumptuous, I have to remind you, you know the temperament of this man Yes, I’m afraid I won’t let it go so easily.”

Duan Tingxuan's temperament, as his first wife, how could he not know? How to use Red Lotus Reminder? So it's strange for this girl to say such a sentence at this time. Su Nuannuan understood, secretly thought that the two girls already knew her identity well, but since you don't tell me, they still regard themselves as the past master, even worse than the past master. It's good to take care of love. There are some things that cannot be announced in the first place, and it is good for everyone to know it well.

After finishing what should be said, Su Nuannuan pointed to the plate of white sugar cake on the table and said to Hong Lian: "Okay, you send this to the old lady in the North Courtyard. If you get all the fabrics from her today, it should be fine." Thank you very much, old man, this white sugar cake is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, soft and sweet, very suitable as a snack for the old man, but there is one thing, you have to tell me, glutinous rice is not easy to digest, so don't let the old lady eat too much."

Hong Lian smiled and said, "Since grandma has such filial piety, why didn't she go there in person? What's the matter with letting the servants go?"

Su Nuannuan glared at her, and snorted coldly: "Are you forgetting what you said just now? I'll go in person? In case the old lady is so popular these days, as soon as I go, she will detain me and throw me back in the backyard." What should I do? Didn’t I shoot myself in the foot with a stone? If I told you to go, then go, waste so much talk?”

Honglian couldn't laugh or cry: "Grandma thinks too badly of the old lady? How is this possible?"

"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, only by being careful can you sail for ten thousand years." Su Nuannuan has a firm attitude, thinking that she is the grandmother of Duan Tingxuan, a black-bellied man, and she can't be too careful, the genes are there.

"Grandpa, what does your wife say?"

As soon as Duan Tingxuan came out of Mrs. Yang's yard, he saw Siping sneaking up to him. He immediately had a place to vent his anger from his mother. He kicked Siping lightly on the buttocks. The young master shouted angrily. : "Where did you die?"

"Look at what I said, where can the slave die? The slave just thought that the master didn't enjoy his meal in Meiyuelou, so he ordered two more plates of food from the grandma, and just put them in the study."

Siping's flattery was very timely. Hearing the delicious food, the young master immediately calmed down, and was about to go to the study excitedly. However, he stopped after taking two steps, and the smile on his face disappeared. He thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and went west to Xu Ranyun's Xia Yuxuan.

"Grandpa, are you not going to eat in the study?" Siping was stunned, this was the first time I saw that Grandpa had such a strong heart for the food made by grandma.

"Save the food for me. I'll eat it later. I'll go to Ran Yun's first. You go back to the study and talk to Shuangxi, and then go home."

Hearing Duan Tingxuan's words, Siping understood, secretly thinking that it was not a coincidence that his wife went to Meiyuelou earlier, not to mention, with Grandma Yun's temperament, she is not enough to do this kind of thing. This is a miserable situation. Although the master somehow comforted his wife, he must have had a good meal. If you don't want to vent your anger on Grandma Yun, who should you vent your anger on
