(The long comment of Hunzhi's recruiting girls will be added!)
Thinking that the shameless censor with a dead face who ate longevity peaches even participated in his book today, he was not happy.
Everything is not going well today, is it because I didn't eat birthday peaches yesterday
Master Yang coughed lightly, "Send it to the Flower Hall, I will bring it to Madam when I go to the backyard later."
Master Yang also didn't like the roasted tea, so he asked Chang Sui to pour a cup of warm water and sit in the flower hall to rest, his belly groaning, Master Yang's eyes fell on the brocade box beside him, and he stretched out his hand to open the brocade box.
After seeing the food inside, a pair of shrewd eyes that were often squinted instantly widened.
There were only eight snacks of different shapes in the small blue delicate bamboo basket, and a red half-bloomed peony next to it was eye-catching.
Smell it slightly, there is a faint floral fragrance mixed with the crispy fragrance of dim sum.
Master Yang couldn't help swallowing, picked up a bat-shaped one, looked at it again and again, and then took a bite, oh, there is actually a filling, with raisins in it, refreshing and crispy, sweet but not greasy, good eat!
Master Yang couldn't help reaching out to take the second piece, which was in the shape of a peach, huh? This is the taste of red dates, fresh and sweet, and there is still a good smell of dates in the mouth after eating.
The third piece is bergamot-shaped, with a faint rose fragrance, not greasy, and has a light and elegant taste. Well, this is his favorite taste.
…
When Master Yang came back to his senses, he found a small box of snacks, only a few pieces left, and the hand that went in finally retracted in embarrassment.
The eyes of Chang Sui Kan who was next to him twitched, thinking, my lord, this is a return gift from the Jing'anbo mansion to his wife, and it all went into your stomach in just a short while...
"Ahem, carry it, go to the backyard to find your wife." Master Yang coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and said to Chang Sui.
On the way to the backyard, Master Yang was still complaining in his heart.
This Jing'anbo mansion is too petty, it's so stingy to give a snack in return, there are only eight in a box, the taste is not heavy, and it's so small, one snack is gone for two bites, and I want to eat the second nothing.
When she arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Yang was talking to her daughter-in-law, she turned her head and saw her husband, she stood up to greet her with a smile, "Master, why did you come back earlier than usual today?" Seeing the brocade box in Chang Sui's hand, her face He even smiled, "Why, did you bring me a gift today?"
There was a moment of embarrassment on Mrs. Yang's face, "This is a thank you gift from the Jing'an residence."
Chang hurriedly put the brocade box on the table and withdrew.
Mrs. Yang raised her eyebrows, thinking of the girl she saw at the birthday banquet in the Dingyuan Hou's Mansion, and walked to the table without paying attention to Master Yang's expression.
"A thank you gift from Uncle Jing'an's mansion? What is it? You can bring your daughter-in-law to see it too." Mrs. Yang's eldest daughter-in-law was not present at the old Ding Yuanhou's birthday banquet that day, so she also came over after hearing the news.
Master Yang couldn't stop him, so he just pretended to be nonchalant and sat aside.
Mrs. Yang opened the brocade box and saw that there were only two solitary pieces of dim sum lying on the plate...
She looked at Master Yang in surprise, "This..."
"Just now I was hungry, so I ate two pieces at will." Master Yang explained stiffly.
With such a large space vacated, are you sure you only ate two pieces
Madam Yang twitched the corners of her mouth and closed the brocade box.
The eldest daughter-in-law was dumbfounded when she saw the situation in the brocade box, and shut her mouth wisely, "Father is back, daughter-in-law is going to the big kitchen to have a look and order some dishes that father likes to eat."
After the daughter-in-law left, Mrs. Yang finally couldn't hold back her laughter, and laughed out loud, "Is this sent by the third grandma of Jing'an uncle's mansion?"
Master Yang pretended to drink tea and nodded as if nothing had happened.
"That can't blame you, the food made by that girl is really delicious." As he spoke, he opened the brocade box, picked up a piece of dim sum, and after tasting it, his eyes lit up instantly, "Girl, what is the name of this dim sum made this time?" , actually suits my taste better than that birthday peach, um, it's actually salty."
Master Yang licked his lips, is it salty? It's a pity he hasn't had it yet.
"There are only eight snacks on this plate, and it seems that each tastes different."
Mrs. Yang was surprised, there are such delicate dim sum
Hastily ate the last one left, and it really tasted different from the previous one. After eating, I picked up a smaller brocade box next to it and opened it. I saw her coral bracelet lying under the silk satin inside. Mrs. Yang The corners of her mouth twitched, "It seems that this girl from the British government is not only easy to give birth to." Finally, she has some brains!
Mrs. Yang immediately wrote a reply and asked the family's capable servant to send it to Jing'anbo Mansion.
Ever since Master Yang ate the Beijing eight pieces sent by Chu Lian, he fell in love with the rose-flavored desserts, and ordered the housekeeper to let the cook make more, but none of them tasted like the one Chu Lian sent that day. Mr. Yang didn't know how to eat, and he lost several catties of meat, but this is something for Mr. Yang, who is a foodie.
The same return gift was also sent to Wei Wangfu.
Princess Duanjia couldn't wait to open the brocade box, saw the glistening snacks inside with big eyes, and carefully carried them to her courtyard to enjoy alone, even the greedy second brother who came to visit, she didn't give any. The appearance of protecting the puppy cubs made the prince of the small county of Wei Wang's mansion very happy.
Immediately went to Wei Wangfei and began to complain, "Mother Concubine, the third sister doesn't know what delicious food she got, but she is so stingy that she won't let me have a bite!"
"Oh? What's more?" Princess Wei raised her eyebrows. Princess Duanjia has a bit of aloof temper. There are few things that can arouse her heart on weekdays. She didn't expect that she would add food to her personality. It's really interesting.
As the mother and son talked, Princess Duanjia came in, "Second brother, you are so old, and you are still suing me in front of your mother!"
The king of Xiaojun sat down next to Princess Wei, "It's not because I wanted to know what delicious food to hook my precious sister's soul."
Princess Duanjia glared at Prince Xiaojun, and walked to Princess Wei, "Concubine Mother, I will invite someone to come to the house in a few days."
Princess Wei sat in the main seat, dignified and luxurious, with a faint smile on her lips, "But the person who gave you the snacks?"
Princess Duanjia smiled mysteriously, "Don't tell my concubine right now, when she comes, concubine mother will know."
Concubine Wei reached out her hand lovingly and tapped the only daughter's forehead, "Mother and concubine will not stop you whoever you associate with, but you must remember your identity."
Jing'an House, before it was time for dinner, the housekeeper in the front yard ordered his wife to send two posts. One of them also came with a gift.
Chu Lian took the post and looked at the content.
One was from Mrs. Yang, and the other was actually from Princess Duanjia.
Mrs. Yang sent back the coral bracelet, saying that it was originally given to her, how could she take it back, let her keep it well, and if she has the opportunity to meet in the future, she might as well make some more snacks to honor her.
Although Mrs. Yang never mentioned the relationship, it was already a great deal of face for Chu Lian, and it was considered a good relationship.
What surprised Chu Lian the most was Princess Duanjia's post.
Princess Duanjia actually invited her to a gathering at the Prince Wei's mansion.
Chu Lian recalled that Princess Duanjia had some strange feelings for her in the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, and frowned slightly. In the original text, Princess Duanjia was only mentioned a few times, and she didn't even make an official appearance. The Lord and even the Prince Wei's House don't understand it at all.
However, since it was an invitation from the princess, and it was an official post, if you refuse, you will be ignorant.
In Shengjing City, I don't know how many noble girls want to climb up to Duanjia princess without such a good chance, not to mention, Chu Lian has no ill feeling towards this Duanjia princess.
After accepting Princess Duanjia's post, Nanny Gui and Nanny Zhong next to her were also happy.
Princess Duanjia has always been used to being alone in Shengjing City, at most, she has occasional contacts with those clan women, but she has never heard of a serious handkerchief exchange, and even if the king of Wei is a cabinet minister, he has to give some face, If Chu Lian can really communicate with Princess Duanjia frequently, then the entire Jing'an Manor will be highly regarded.
In the evening, Chu Lian went to Qingweitang to have dinner. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Qingweitang, he heard a burst of laughter from inside.
Chu Lian walked in curiously, and Mrs. He waved to her, "Sanlang's daughter-in-law, come quickly, I was talking about you just now!"
Except for the two young ladies in the house, Chu Lian had the smallest status. She politely bowed to the elders as a junior, and was dragged by the old matriarch to sit on the soft stool at the bottom of her head.
"Grandmother, what do you say about granddaughter-in-law?" Her wide-eyed and curious expression made Mrs. He laugh again.
"Your elder brother was talking about the birthday peaches you made that day in the Dingyuanhou's Mansion! Grandma also tasted it today, it's really delicious!"
Chu Lian replied with a smile, "As long as grandma likes it, after grandma's birthday, I will make some fresh birthday peaches to honor grandma."
"Look, that birthday peach is actually not the best, but there are new tricks!"
Immediately everyone in the flower hall laughed, Chu Lian looked around, and suddenly found that the depths of Zou's eyes were dark, and quickly shut up, "Second brother came back early today, I heard that there is venison at the family banquet today, Sun Daughter-in-law can't wait!"
Chu Lian changed the topic, and then went to visit her sister-in-law, Zou Shi, and found that her complexion had improved.
However, He Changqi wanted to add fuel to the flames, "Third brother and sister, since you can make those exquisite dim sum, I wonder if you can make this venison?"
Chu Lian screamed in her heart that it was terrible, Mrs. Zou was already thinking about her a little bit, and her elder brother wanted to add more anger.
"Venison is rare, and my siblings have no secret recipe for making venison."
After Chu Lian finished speaking, he could clearly see the disappointment on He Changqi's face.
Later, the whole family ate together around the table, Chu Lian didn't want his sister-in-law to think about it, and didn't talk much after the meal, except for a few words back to the old lady.
When he returned to Songtao Garden from Qingwei Hall, Chu Lian patted his chest without any image.
She was really scared to death. She was still doing well. She just made a few snacks and made her sister-in-law jealous. It seems that it is not that simple to hide in the backyard and be a carefree rice bug.
Today, Mrs. Yang returned the coral bracelet and Princess Duanjia's post to invite everyone. I don't know how my sister-in-law Zou would think if she knew about it.
After thinking about it, Chu Lian immediately planned to talk about this matter with the old lady alone when she went to Qingwei Hall tomorrow.
Princess Duanjia made an appointment with her on the twenty-sixth day, and there are still two days to prepare, so there is no rush.
