Chapter 138
The family dinner on New Year's Eve ended in peace, without wind or waves.

But until Xi San, Gan Ji did not come back.

Coming out of the main courtyard, Mrs. Zhai rolled her eyes: "My lord and Ah Jia are here, so I'm a little bit scrupulous, and I just flirt with each other during the dinner, what kind of dignity is that?"

Jiang Fosang was thinking about something, but couldn't hear clearly: "Sister-in-law, can you say it again?"

From the corner of her eyes, Mrs. Zhai saw Lao Wu crossing the threshold and coming this way, swallowed back the words when she reached her mouth, snorted, turned around and walked away quickly with her followers.

Jiang Fosang also noticed Xiao Yuandu.

Xiao Yuandu pretended not to see her and the concubine Jiu beside her, and was about to leave.

"Fifth Uncle!" Mrs. Bian caught up and pushed Jiang Fosang to his side, "It's getting late, Fifth Uncle can rest in Fufengyuan tonight."

Before Xiao Yuandu opened his mouth, his palm was stuffed into a soft and boneless hand.

"During the Chinese New Year, where should we rest if we don't stay at home? The door of the house has been unlocked, and it is not auspicious to open the door in the middle of the night. You have to wait until tomorrow morning. Fifth brother," Xiao Yuanyin who came out afterwards looked at Xiao Yuandu, "You can come back, Father didn't say anything, but he was very happy in his heart. You should spend your time with your sister-in-law when you watch the New Year's Eve."

Jiang Fosang lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Xiao Yuandu raised his eyelids, looked at his wife and his wife, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with some sarcasm: "Brother ordered, do you dare to disobey?"

After saying that, he grabbed Jiang Fosang's wrist with his backhand and walked towards Fufengyuan.

The servant and the nine concubine came back to their senses and hurriedly followed.

"Fifth brother's temper," Mrs. Bian shook her head, a little worried, "I don't know if it will embarrass my fifth sister-in-law."

Xiao Yuanyin frowned: "He should have a long memory when he becomes a family and still messes around all day long."

Xiao Yuandu was a tall man with a big horse and a big stride, Jiang Fosang had a hard time keeping up with him, but when he turned to the stone bridge, he let go and went back to Fufengyuan by himself.

Jiang Fosang took a steady breath, turned around and looked at the nine concubine who was trotting along: "My husband's master is rarely coming back, and it's New Year's Eve, why don't we go to Fufengyuan together to watch the new year?"

The incident of Xiao Yuandu throwing Xiao Yuanmou into the ice lake in a fit of rage is still in front of her eyes, Nine Mistresses still have lingering fears, and seeing him rudely pulling the female monarch just now, she knows that it will not be good to come forward at this time. If I am not careful, I am afraid that I will follow in the footsteps of the Fourth Young Master.

Then he waved his hands and shook his head.

"Your Majesty's kindness, I shouldn't have declined it, but I'm already tired... Besides, it's not in line with the rules."

"That's right, spend New Year's Eve with the lady and husband..."

"That's it," Jiang Fosang didn't force them, "Go back and rest earlier."

Nine concubine bowed and turned to the northwest, while Jiang Fosang continued southward.

Back to Fufengyuan, the courtyard was completely silent.

Ji Lian, who stayed behind, waited at the entrance of the inner courtyard, wiped her neck and stared, indicating that the fifth young master was inside.

Jiang Fosang was not in a hurry to enter the main room, and stood on the porch watching the maids busy.

On New Year's Eve, there is a custom of presenting New Year's Eve. The gifts sent to various places have been prepared and sent out for her, and the received gifts must be counted and stored.

In addition to feeding the year, we must also keep the year.That is to say, the family is reunited in one place, invited to eat and drink, the elders and the younger gather to drink, eat and drink around the stove, and welcome the arrival of the new year together.

Keeping the old age, you must stay up all night to wait for the dawn.

Jiang Fosang thought about the person in the room, then looked up at the dark sky, wishing it would dawn in the blink of an eye.

"It's freezing cold, why doesn't my lady go in?" Liang Nai came out of the kitchen with her knees in her hands.

Since the beginning of winter, she has suffered from leg pain and cannot stand for a long time. Jiang Fosang didn't let her accompany her tonight.

The good woman thought that this kind of family banquet must not be good for a lady, so she made a fuss in the small kitchen to cook some of her favorite food, and waited for her to come back to use some.

Unexpectedly, the fifth son came back first.

Although she is very dissatisfied with this new son-in-law, but for the sake of the second half of the woman's life, if there is a chance, the good wife also hopes that he can turn his prodigal son back and live a good life with the woman.

"Come inside." Liangyu said with a smile, "There is fish that the lady likes to eat."

When you come to the Northland, if you say the most difficult thing to adapt to, it must be the climate first, and the diet second.

The eating habits of the north and the south are very different. Taking the ingredients alone as an example, in addition to the commonly raised livestock and poultry such as chickens, ducks, pigs and geese, the meat in the north is mostly mutton, while the south prefers aquatic animals.In addition to common fish such as carp, crucian carp and perch, there are also aquatic products such as shrimp, crab, cockles and oysters.

This is because the rivers in the Southland are crisscrossed, and the aquatic products are abundant and cheap, so it is natural for people to eat them every day.

Of course, there are also rivers in the north, which can also catch very valuable fish, such as Yiluo bream carp and Luokou yellow croaker, which are praised as "the most beautiful in the world".

But generally speaking, there are still fewer rivers and lakes in the north, and the aquatic products are far less than those in the south.

Especially in the north of Hanshui, mutton can be eaten casually, even beef, which is banned by government orders, is easier to get than fish.

After the stir-fry restaurant opened, Fan Sou tried to buy aquatic products.

Unfortunately, fresh fish is rarely seen in the market.There may be sporadic sellers, each costing thousands of dollars, and the asking price is too high.The price of pickled dried fish is cheap, and it is only liked by the poor, and it is not available on the table.

There are also very few folk fish farmers.Some wealthy households built fish ponds in accordance with "Tao Zhu Gong's Fish Raising Law". Fan Sou went to see them, but the fish ponds were very small and there were few varieties.

"Fan Sou got a few live fish in the city a few years ago, put them in other fishponds and raised them carefully until today, just to show respect to the queen, how can I disappoint Fan Sou's kindness?"

After Liang's words fell, Jilian and Wan Qing also echoed: "Fang Po is good at cooking, she made dried fried fish, and mushroom fish soup, almost as good as Fan Sou."

This sentence is worth a hundred sentences.

Jiang Fosang really didn't eat well at the family banquet, and he hadn't eaten fish for a long time, and his tongue was full of saliva just by hearing the name of the dish.

Stepping into the room, I found Xiao Yuandu sitting behind the desk in the middle to the north, with his hands propped on the edge of the desk, his eyes darkened, obviously worried.

Others may not know what he is thinking, but Jiang Fosang knows it.

Pretending to be ignorant, she walked to the side dining table and sat down.

Fang Po and others put the dishes together, and Liang Nai specially warmed up a cup of wine.

Jiang Fosang doesn't drink alcohol, it goes without saying who it's for.

Liang Nai winked over there, Jiang Fosang sighed and nodded helplessly.

I originally wanted to keep Calamus and others to share with me, but after thinking about it, I decided to give up.Normally he would not, especially with Xiao Yuandu, the God of Plague, around.

Sure enough, Mrs. Liang took the lead, and in the blink of an eye, everyone in the room was completely evacuated, not even a cloth was left.

Before leaving, Mrs. Liang still did not forget to tell her earnestly: "Remember to invite the five young masters to eat together."

The aroma of the fish soup rushed towards his face, Jiang Fosang raised his chopsticks to eat, paused, then turned his head to look to the north side: "The chef has made some southern food, why don't you try it?"

During the banquet, Xiao Yuandu only drank alcohol blindly, and hardly touched decent meals.

At this moment, I smell the fragrance of the food in the room, this kind of fragrance is different from the mediocre fragrance at the family banquet, it is very domineering and seductive, and I suddenly feel hungry.

But Ginger Girl...

He snorted and said, "No need."

Just as he was about to say no, a grunt suddenly sounded in the silent room.

Jiang Nu glanced at it, and it was coming from someone's belly.

Xiao Yuandu: "..." Gritting his teeth, his face was colorful.

Jiangnu looked back, smiled and called to Changpu: "Go and invite the sixth son."
