Mrs. He smiled and said a few words about the two juniors living a good life in the future, and saw that the daughter-in-law beside her was pale and in poor health, so she didn't keep the two juniors.
But when He Changdi wanted to leave with him, he was stopped by the old lady.
"Sanlang, you send your daughter-in-law back first, and then come to grandma. Grandma has something to say to you."
He Changdi was startled, but finally nodded and agreed.
After Chu Lian bowed to the elders, He Changdi grabbed his wrist and took him out.
He Erlang had a black face and white teeth dazzled his eyes when he smiled, "Hey, the third brother usually looks like a cold temper, but I didn't expect that he loves his younger siblings a lot. After all, he is a good son of our family."
As soon as He Erlang spoke, He Dalang gave him a big white eye and condemned everyone.
That's right, he's an annoying person at home, he was about to stand up and slip away, so He Dalang twisted up this guy's "pig ears" and took him to the study to talk.
"Peiwen, go back and rest first, you can't toss about your bones." As soon as He Changdi and Chu Lian and his wife left, Mrs. He said to her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Liu's body is indeed weak, and she forced herself to get up today to receive a bowl of tea from her son and daughter-in-law. After sitting for half an hour, she really couldn't hold on anymore.
"The mother helped the daughter-in-law to take care of the third child more, and the daughter-in-law resigned." Liu's voice was weak and weak.
Mrs. He waved and asked Nanny Liu to take two maidservants to send Mrs. Liu back to her yard.
Now only the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law and two daughters who were married long ago are left in the flower hall of Qingyu Hall.
Seeing that it was all right, Mrs. Zou got up to salute Mrs. He, and then went to the front yard to preside over the ceremony.
Mrs. He is no longer the home of Mrs. Jing'an House. Before Mrs. Jing'an's health was not broken, it was Mrs. Jing'an who took care of her. Later, after Mrs. Jing's health was broken, Mrs. He took over. After a while, when the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law passed the door, the gift from the He family was handed over to Mrs. Zou.
She is now in charge of everything inside and out.
As soon as he got out of Qingyu Hall, He Changdi returned to that cold face. He shook off Chu Lian's arm and walked towards their courtyard in He's residence.
Xi Yan stared at the straight back of the new uncle, her whole face wrinkled, she called out "Miss Six", Chu Lian shook her head with a wry smile.
He comforted Xi Yan beside him with his eyes, and then went to the yard.
Who knows what's weird about this He Sanlang.
Back in their own yard, He Changdi only sat outside and drank a cup of tea, then went to Qingyu Hall again, Chu Lian sat in the inner room, watching the two geese, Happy Goose and Fu Yan, helping him clean up from the British government. He brought the dowry and heard the noise from outside, so he knew that he had gone out.
Dare to feel that this time and time again is just for the ancestors to see!
Chu Lian frowned unconsciously.
Hey... What is it all about? Why is this He Changdi different from what is said in the book! What went wrong
But apart from him, everything else is exactly the same, right
I can't figure it out, and I simply don't want to, the heroine in the book, the four "wild geese" maids named X Yan, are all little beauties, and each has their own strengths. However, only Xiyan and Fuyan grew up with the heroine, while Jingyan and Mingyan were gifted by the British princess when the heroine got married.
She now knows all about the characters and minds of these four servant girls, as well as their future endings.
Even Fuyan's glances at He Changdi from time to time did not escape her eyes.
Xi Yan glanced at her master from time to time when she was packing the box. Now she was holding back something and wanted to tell Miss Six, but it was really difficult for her to speak with the other big maids by her side.
Thinking of Miss Six rushing to the old matriarch's yard to serve tea in the morning, Xi Yan didn't eat much at all, Xi Yan thought for a while and said: "The third grandma is hungry, how about slaves to bring some refreshments?"
Chu Lian nodded absently.
Soon Xiyan came back with an exquisite food box. The nanny in charge of the big kitchen in Jing'anbo Mansion was very polite. When Xiyan said that it was the third grandma who wanted snacks, she picked up the freshly made snacks Brought it back to Xiyan.
Xi Yan brought out the snacks in the food box one by one, and in order to make Miss Six happy, she even raised her voice and said jokingly, "Third Grandma, look at these kinds of snacks that we have never seen in the British government." ! This is beautifully done, you have a taste."
Chu Lian took the time to look down, and wanted to curl his lips. For a modern foodie who eats all over the country, these square-shaped snacks are clearly made of pumpkins. Can it be said that it looks good? Does this girl Xiyan have aesthetics
A smell of kitchen vegetable oil wafted from the pumpkin snack, with a pungent smell.
Chu Lian couldn't help but think, the kitchen steward could not be ordered by someone to give her a bad name, right
Thinking back hard, there is no such plot in the original work
Unable to bear Xiyan's expectant gaze, Chu Lian picked up a piece of pumpkin snack and tasted it.
There is obviously too much icing sugar added to this dessert. After eating a piece of dessert, not only does it not taste like pumpkin, but it is like eating a spoon full of white sugar.
this…
Chu Lian forced himself to eat one piece, and never wanted to touch the second one.
Fortunately, this Jing'anbo mansion is a noble family, does the family only eat such snacks
Chu Lian, who was almost choked up, grabbed a cup of tea that Fu Yan had poured beside him and drank it down without even looking at it.
But as soon as the tea entered his throat, Chu Lian's eyes widened instantly, and in the next second he spit it out in a gulp without any image.
The big servant girls who were close to her were all horrified, thinking that something happened to Chu Lian.
"Third grandma, what's the matter with you, is there something uncomfortable?"
Xi Yan, who is used to serving her, was about to cry.
Chu Lian put the teacup in his hand on the table, and took a few sips of "peh pee pee" before spitting out the tea with all kinds of strange flavors such as onion, ginger, and garlic in his mouth.
"Quick, bring white water!"
After hearing Chu Lian's order, Xi Yan hurriedly poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her.
Chu Lian learned a good lesson this time, first she stretched her head to see carefully that there was indeed a glass of white, crystal clear warm water in the celadon tea cup in front of her, and then drank it without any scruples.
After diluting all the strange taste in his mouth, he was finally able to breathe a long sigh of relief.
"What's in this teacup?" Why are there all kinds of condiments like onion, ginger, garlic, cinnamon powder, and as soon as he got his breath, Chu Lian asked urgently,
"Third grandma, fried tea, isn't it your favorite drink?" Xi Yan said with blinking red eyes, and handed the handkerchief in her hand to Chu Lian to wipe her mouth.
Sencha! By the way, she remembered that when the tea culture was popular in ancient China, it was true that sencha was popular first, but she never expected that the Great Wu Dynasty in this novel also drank sencha...
The sencha here is completely different from the sencha of later generations. Maybe it is because sencha has just become popular not long ago, and there are no special rules at all. It is really that various ingredients are added to the tea powder and boiled, and then cooked with special tools. Make foam, if a smart tea doctor can paint on the foam, it looks a bit like the cappuccino that is freshly ground in coffee shops and has a foam pattern.
But all kinds of strange flavors can't be compared with coffee at all.
I was a little nervous when serving tea this morning, and Chu Lian didn't even notice what the tea here looked like.
Chu Lian waved at Happy Goose and Fuyan, so he had to find an excuse, "I haven't had a good appetite for the past two days, and I want to eat something light. From now on, I don't need to serve this fried tea, just lukewarm water."
When Xiyan heard Chu Lian's words, she was a little anxious, "Third Mistress, how can this be, sencha is your housekeeping skill! You have to use it to make a face, so what if you don't drink sencha in the future!"
Yes, sencha has been spread since the Great Wu Dynasty, and many daughters of noble families will learn the skill of sencha in their boudoirs. The more flavor of sencha and the more graceful the person who sencha is, the more elegant they will be praised by people. .
When Xi Yan said this, Chu Lian really recalled that it seemed that the book mentioned that the heroine's skill in frying tea was mentioned a little bit. When the British government was entertaining guests, she was specially invited to fry tea.
Nowadays, it is not so easy to be a noble lady in the Great Wu Dynasty, one must have a few skills to show off.
In fact, Miss Chu Liu is not valued in the British government, other skills are common among the sisters, and only this kind of sencha can be used, no wonder Xiyan is so anxious when she hears that Chu Lian does not drink sencha .
It's a pity that this Chu Lian is not that Chu Lian. Even if she likes to drink fried tea, she doesn't know how to make fried tea.
Besides, she really doesn't think this sencha tastes good, so many condiments put together, it's almost called dark cuisine.
"Okay, I just said I don't want to drink it, and I didn't say that I won't make tea anymore?" Chu Lian had to deal with it first. She is not the original heroine. Although her status is here, it is not appropriate to change too much all at once.
After hearing what she said, the big maids breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Chu Lian helped his forehead.
Fu Yan rolled her eyes wide, and her eyes fell on the golden plate of mouth-watering dim sum on the table. She swallowed secretly, and it was indeed as Xi Yan said, such beautiful dim sum had never been sold in England. Have eaten in the government office!
"Third grandma, what do you think of this dessert?"
Chu Lian was so impacted by the fried tea that she almost forgot the first plate of dim sum. She shook her head in disappointment, "The taste is average, too sweet and too greasy. Try it too and see if you like it."
Chu Lian simply wanted to try the taste of the people here. Xiyan Fuyan used to be with the hostess, and probably knew the hostess' taste best, so letting them taste it was the best way.
The eyes of the four maidservants lit up when they heard her words. Both Mingyan and Jingyan were chosen by the British princess as dowry before Chu Lian's wedding. They used to be the second-class maids in the mansion. it is good.
