"Forget it, don't eat it if you don't like it, Gui Zhi, go to the kitchen and bring me two bowls of sweet soup." Liu Min obeyed immediately after hearing what her husband said. Here, Guizhi agreed, and went out to the kitchen.
Not long after Guizhi left, the family was sitting around the dining table talking and waiting for the sweet soup, when they heard the girl outside say: "Master and wife, the red lotus next to grandma came over, saying that it was a gift for the master and wife And the cabbage and beef ball soup carefully made by grandma."
"Oh? Call in quickly."
Duan Ni's interest was immediately aroused, and he quickly asked Honglian to come in. Just now, he was tired of the fat chicken and big fish on the table, but after hearing the cabbage and meatball soup, he suddenly felt his tongue salivate .
Liu Min frowned slightly, while Duan Tingye and Shi Shi glanced at each other, feeling a bad premonition in their hearts at the same time.
Not long after, Hong Lian came in with a food box. She first paid homage to Duan Ni and Liu Min. Then she put the food box on the table, took out the vegetable soup from inside, and said with a smile: "Today, my grandfather is outside. Nothing to do, so I came back early, thinking that the weather is hot, and it is best to drink a la carte soup, which relieves the boredom and relieves the fire, so I made this cabbage and beef ball soup with my grandma. After I tasted it, I found it light and delicious , so I specially ordered the servants to bring it, and asked the master and Mrs. Min to taste it."
Duan Ni nodded, stroked his beard and asked, "Did the old lady deliver it too?"
Honglian smiled and said: "Of course I sent it. The old lady likes our grandma's craftsmanship, so whatever she makes on weekdays, grandma always thinks of the old lady."
Liu Min laughed at the side and said to Duan Ni: "It's true, Grandma thinks she has learned a lesson in Meiyue Tower this time, but after she came out, she restrained her previous domineering spirit in front of people and was very filial. Even the eldest son is much more sensible than before, otherwise, no matter how filial he is with his temperament, why would he think of cooking in person? This must be forced by his wife."
Hong Lian curled her lips inwardly, what Master Undao said was right at all, the wife really made a fuss about this. Seeing Duan Ni, he really frowned, looked at her and asked, "Why did the son suddenly think of cooking with his wife in person today?"
Honglian hurriedly smiled and said according to Duan Tingxuan's teaching: "This servant doesn't know, and the master didn't cook before. He came back today. He told grandma that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, so he has to experience it today. After experiencing the skill of cooking small fresh food, I also said that it happens to be filial piety for the old lady. So grandma can't do anything about it. It's up to you."
As soon as these words were said, Duan Ni's displeasure disappeared, he laughed and said: "Oh? He said that? This is true, so has he realized anything?"
Hong Lian laughed and said: "How dare this slave girl ask the master? I just listened to what he and the eldest grandma said about how to behave properly. I think I have some understanding, but these slaves don't understand."
Duan Ni nodded and said: "It's rare to be able to comprehend this. You go back and tell your master to come to my study after dinner, and Yeer, you also go there, and let's listen to your elder brother's comprehension together. Cooking fresh food? It’s your career, and it’s the same, after you hear it, maybe you can understand it by analogy.”
"Yes." Duan Tingye nodded respectfully in agreement, and the anger flashed away in his eyes. Shi Shi also snorted angrily and turned his head away, but Duan Ni was happy at the moment and didn't pay attention to them, so he didn't notice this little move.
Honglian resigned, here Liu Min personally served Duan Ni a small bowl of soup, saw her husband couldn't wait to take a sip, her eyes lit up, and then she took out a meatball with a spoon, and put the soup and vegetables into her mouth When Duan Ni closed her eyes and tasted carefully, her complexion was a little ugly, and suddenly she heard a soft hum from the side, and when she turned her head, she saw Shi's face full of contempt, but it changed again the moment Duan Ni opened her eyes. With a flowery smile on her face, she said courteously: "It can be seen that the master hasn't eaten anything good outside these few days. You like this bowl of cabbage meatball soup so much, and you taste it with your eyes closed. My daughter-in-law doesn't understand, it's just so good drink?"
Duan Ni didn't understand his daughter-in-law's dissatisfaction, and took her as a joke, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really delicious, come on, you all have a taste. I didn't know that cabbage soup can be so sweet, that's all, this But I don’t know how the meatballs are made. Not only are they chewy, but when you bite them down, a stream of meat juice comes out. The delicacy is hard to describe in words. Oh, I’m not one of those literati, no matter how you say it, you can’t understand this. It tastes delicious, try it yourself, and you will be full of praise when the time comes."
Liu Min and Shi Shi really didn't want to be full of praise, but Duan Houye had already left the words here, what else could they say? What's more, the cabbage and meatball soup is really delicious. The three of them drank a few sips, and they were very surprised. I don't know why Su Nuannuan suddenly became so capable.
At the same time, in the Spring Garden, the young master was gearing up for a large bowl of cabbage and meatball soup on the dining table, and when he saw Su Nuannuan walking in, he couldn't wait to ask: "Is it finally possible to eat this time? If you don't eat it, it will be cold."
Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "When it's cold, it's cold. Drinking some cold soup in this summer is just a relief from the heat. Well, let me think about it, have they been sent everywhere? Are there any omissions?"
Duan Tingxuan gritted his teeth and said: "I gave them all away, you didn't even miss Aunt Lin's place, so thoughtful, where else could I miss? I didn't know you are such a thoughtful person now. Now we are left as husband and wife Hey, I was so exhausted that I made a pot of soup, but I haven’t even taken a sip yet. I’m so warm, so don’t hold back, or I’ll drip my saliva into the soup, so don’t scream .”
"Okay, okay, let's drink." Su Nuannuan was also speechless for the dignified son to use such a low-level threat. When she came to the table and sat down, she saw Duan Tingxuan put a bowl of soup in front of her, and said with a smile: "Young lady is busy in front of the stove, it can be said that you have made a lot of hard work, come, let my husband personally serve you a bowl of soup, and reward you for your hard work. "
"The concubine is very grateful to the master. The master chopped the beef with a lot of effort, and the concubine will serve you a bowl of soup as a reward for your contribution." Su Nuannuan also filled a bowl of soup with a smile and sent it to Duan Tingxuan In front of her, she didn't want to be courted by this guy for nothing. She felt hot while making soup, so she slightly opened the neckline a little, but after a while, she found that there was something wrong with the way this guy looked at her. Regret it.
Honglian, Xiangyun, Cong'er, Hua'er, the four girls, big and small, looked at this scene, and they only felt that Grandpa and Grandma were really a loving couple who respected each other as if they were guests, not to mention the comfort in their hearts. After hearing that Duan Tingxuan took a sip of the soup, Shixing was full of praise there, such as "there is no such thing as suffering in the world, but there is soup for everything." and the like popped up, Hong Lian smiled and persuaded: "Mr. And don't rush to praise, it's better to have a bowl of soup early, otherwise, if something happens later, don't you want to do it hungry?"
"How could such a situation happen." Duan Tingxuan scolded Honglian: "Don't talk nonsense, I am not so unlucky."
Before the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard. It was obvious that someone was running in. Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan put down their chopsticks at the same time. Before they could stand up, Siping stumbled and ran in, panting He shouted loudly: "Master, Eunuch Chang was ordered by the queen to invite you to enter the palace quickly."
"Do you know what's going on?"
Duan Tingxuan stood up abruptly, and couldn't care less about regretting the bowl of cabbage ball soup that he hadn't finished. The queen would suddenly give such an order.
"The slave doesn't know, Eunuch Chang is still panting in the front yard at the moment, and he came on a fast horse, and his legs become weak when he dismounts, so he sent the slave to report to the master quickly."
"Okay, I got it." Duan Tingxuan started to get busy when he came back, he hadn't changed his clothes yet, and he didn't care about changing clothes at this time, he hurried out with Siping. Here Su Nuannuan watched him leave, and then said to Honglian and the others in a daze for a long time: "Your master is gone, there are no outsiders here, let's eat all these meals together, or it will be a waste."
"Grandma, I don't know what happened in the palace? I am so anxious to let the master go." Honglian Xiangyun knew Su Nuannuan's current temper, so she sat down at the table with Cong'er Hua'er, and asked worriedly.
"How would I know what happened? Anyway, listening to Siping's words, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." Su Nuannuan sighed and murmured, maybe it's related to Duan Tingxuan's fate, this foodie can't be calm after all After taking a sip of the soup, he put down the bowl and said softly to himself: "Speaking of which, it's not easy for your master."
"Yeah, so grandma should treat me better on weekdays. Although the former master was ruthless, grandma knew that you were wrong at that time." Hong Lian finally heard a good word from the master, and hurriedly Strike while the iron is hot and persuade it.
After getting along for so many days, Su Nuannuan is also very clear that Duan Tingxuan's character is really not a bad scumbag to the bone. On the contrary, this man is not bad in this ancient times except for being romantic and a bit black-bellied. , the family background is noble, both civil and military, just by looking at the identities of Xu Ranyun and Xue Zhilan, they did not hesitate to commit themselves to him, so you can know the charm of each other.
However, it is precisely the personality of "romantic and wandering", which is not considered a shortcoming in the eyes of the ancients, but Su Nuannuan, Duan Tingxuan's wife, cannot accept it. After all, she is a modern soul, and it is impossible for her to share a husband with a group of women.
Think about it carefully, for Duan Tingxuan, Su Nuannuan is willing to treat him as a friend, but the problem is: she is not the friend of the other party, she is the wife of the eldest son, the wife Duan Tingxuan Mingmei is marrying, and the other party obviously refuses to just treat her as a friend. Treated like a friend. So Su Nuannuan never dared to give Duan Tingxuan a good look, for fear that he would make more progress, and after getting along well, he would exercise her husband's power, share the same bed and have sex with each other, which is really impossible for a concubine to do.
