Chapter 106 Happiness
Magpie smiled and said: "Miss, you haven't seen it, that guy's whole face is sour with jealousy. My brother, he feels sorry for me and doesn't want my things. He just asks me to follow the lady and don't worry about it anymore." The mess at home."

The magpie is really like a magpie, talking about her family's affairs non-stop, An Xu felt a lot better after hearing the family's gossip.

Life is all about chicken feathers.

Old Mrs. Shen still felt uncomfortable. Her grandson had never disobeyed her since he was a child, but today he repeatedly spoke up for the merchant woman who crawled out of the farm land. .

"I'm so disappointed in Xiao'er." Mrs. Shen couldn't bear it any longer when she got in the car, and said, "Before I saw her, I thought she was someone who finally had some merits in appearance, but who knows it's her?" Such a bland person. It’s fine if he’s not beautiful, but a regular wife doesn’t want to be beautiful, but she doesn’t even have dignity and grace. So what is Xiao’er looking for in a woman?”

The eldest maid hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, it's easy to throw away such a woman. The young master Xu is just confused for a while, I haven't seen such a thing, it's just rare."

Mrs. Shen said angrily: "He is not confused at all, I have never seen him talk so well."

The carriage was almost at Shen's residence, and only then did the coachman say: "The eldest young master is back."

The fire in Mrs. Shen's heart almost burst out all of a sudden, and she ordered: "Don't stop, just go in."

The child that I loved and raised so much, would rather be wronged and protect others when he grows up. Mrs. Shen doesn't want to go through this feeling again.

The An family must not enter the Shen family.

When Shen Xiao returned to his grandmother's yard, he was still thinking about how to coax his grandmother not to be angry, but before he entered the door, he heard his grandmother's laughter coming from the room.

He stopped in his tracks and asked the maid who was pulling the curtain, "Who's in there?"

The servant girl saluted and said: "It's Miss Biao. The old lady seemed to come back in a hurry, but Miss Biao didn't say a word when she came, and the old lady laughed heartily."

Shen Xiao walked in, seeing his grandmother was also smiling when she saw him, and he was relieved.

"Cousin, you're back." Ming Su'er got up.

Shen Xiao said: "Sit down, I'm not a guest."

Old Mrs. Shen smiled and took the tea offered by the servants, and asked: "Your darling is not angry anymore, it's because grandma is too confused, and she doesn't know what to say."

"Grandmother is an elder, so you don't have to think about it when you talk to the younger generation." Shen Xiao said modestly, "She also said that she couldn't hold her breath and made you angry."

"He's quite sensible." Mrs. Shen said.

What I thought in my heart was that I would swallow my anger.

Ming Su'er showed a puzzled expression, but she didn't dare to ask more questions.

Mrs. Shen saw it, and said: "You don't know, your cousin picked up a treasure from somewhere, and he insisted on taking it home as an offering. I don't want to palm my eyes, lest he be deceived."

When Shen Xiao heard this, a rare burst of displeasure surged in his heart.

But the cousin said with a cute face: "What kind of treasure? Antique jade? It should be taken to the dealer and asked the master to appreciate it."

Shen Xiao was amused, only to hear grandma say again: "No, that's a good baby, so it's not easy for people to see it."

After joking for a while, Mrs. Shen asked Ming Su'er to go to the kitchen to see what was delicious. She dismissed the people and said to Shen Xiao: "I just watched it today. To be honest, I'm not satisfied. But After all, it is a major event in your life, everything depends on your wishes, grandma doesn't want my grandson to face someone he doesn't like for the rest of his life."

Shen Xiao knew that when his grandmother said this, she was willing to let go of her grievances. If he insisted, her grandmother would accept Xu'er as Shen's daughter-in-law.

"Thank you grandma." Shen Xiao stood up and thanked her.

Mrs. Shen smiled stiffly, and said: "It's just that marrying a wife is like buying shoes. Whether it fits or not, you can feel it most clearly. You two come from very different backgrounds, can you talk about it in the future? I see this side , you know that a woman who can't even taste tea is unlikely to be suitable for you."

Shen Xiao said: "Grandmother still doesn't know Xu'er well enough, she knows a lot."

Besides, he can teach her what she doesn't know.

When An Xu arrived home, Zong Che happened to be riding a horse from the opposite side. Even if he had someone he liked, seeing him still felt like his eyes were washed.

As bright as the stars in the dark night, as cold as the gods relegated to the mortal world.

Compared with the youthful teenagers four years ago, Zong Che and Zhou Shen at this time seem to be haunted by an invisible majesty.

When An Xu got out of the carriage, he just came over and offered his arm.

After looking at it, An Xu still helped him up.

There is such a pleasing younger brother, his face is bright.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Zong Che asked, "Did things go well?"

An Xu: It's emo, don't mention disappointing things when you're happy.

"What have you been doing?"

Seeing her avoiding this question, Zong Che felt relieved, and at the same time was angry that the old lady of the Shen family looked down on her, what the hell, she didn't like Xu'er.

"I'm going to the outskirts to survey the terrain." I was thinking about other things, and my mouth was tight.

The two entered the mansion one after the other, and Zong Che asked, "Do you need any books for Chong'er to take the provincial examination?"

In the past two years, a kind of bookstore has become popular, specializing in imperial examination articles, with annotations and explanations by famous experts. Anyway, it is somewhat similar to the guidance materials of later generations, and all the used ones are good.

An Xu has already bought a lot for his younger brother, but it is better to have the Zhuangyuan Lang specify the list of books than to buy blindly, so he said: "Okay, when you are free, choose a few books for him, and I will send someone to send them."

Zong Che smiled, looked at her sideways, and said, "Why didn't you mention it earlier if you need this? Don't worry, for the sake of getting along with me for so many years, I can't ignore it."

An Xu said, "I don't think you're busy."

Zong Che said: "If you have something to do, I won't be busy."

An Xu didn't answer the question and asked, "What do you want for lunch?"

"Jelly," Zong Che said, and smiled again: "Did you only ask me this question from the beginning?"

An Xu hehehe, I'm feeding you guys, right?
When he came to Beijing, An Xu did bring a bag of pea flour, and he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.

Put the mixed pea powder into the pot, and gradually become crystal clear during the stirring process.

Zong Che helped to light the fire for a while, then got up and took off a hanging garlic from the wall, and peeled two bones in two or three strokes.

"Sister, sister!"

The shouts came from far to near, An Xu turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Zhao Cheng, no, now it is Rong Cheng, the little guy obviously ran all the way here, and he was still panting when he came to him.

"What delicious food does my sister make?"

"You have a small body, don't you have no physical training in Taixue?"

The two spoke almost at the same time, Rong Cheng shook his arms and said, "Sister, I'm very good now, the entire Taixue classmates can't even kick me in Cuju."

An Xu smiled and said, "Really? But I haven't seen you for two years, and Cheng'er has really grown a lot taller."

For the first two years, Granny Zhao and Rongcheng would go back to their hometown to have a look at each new year, and spend the New Year at Anjia by the way. In the past two years, Granny Zhao's health was too much for the long journey, so they stopped running every year.

Rong Cheng put his hand on top of his head, compared with his sister, and said with a smile, "I've already reached my sister's shoulder. In another year, I will definitely be taller than you. By the way, when will Brother Chong come to the capital?"

An Xu said, "I'll come when he finishes the provincial exam."

"Okay," Rong Cheng said, "My family still has a place, and then ask Brother Chong to go to Taixue with me."

An Xu asked doubtfully, "Don't you have a younger brother?"

"Sister, his name is Rong Mingxian," Rong Cheng said, taking the chopsticks from An Xu's hand, and then quickly stirred, "He listens to my mother very much, and he doesn't get close to me on weekdays. It seems that he always He thought that I would harm him, and not long after I went to study in Taixue, he stopped going and asked my father to invite a famous Confucian to study at home."

An Xu touched the little guy's head.

If Granny Zhao hadn't followed, Mrs. Rong favored him more, and it would not be a good thing for him to return to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Rongcheng said: "I want to eat jelly with hot and sour sauce. Sister, when will you grow some chili peppers in the capital? There are no shops here that can make spicy food. I want to eat it, but I can only endure it."

"It's coming soon," An Xu said with a smile, "But don't I send hot peppers to your house every month?"

"The ones in the house are not authentic, even good spicy peppers can't make good taste." Rong Cheng curled his lips.

There are several shops in the capital that can make spicy food. They all learned their skills from Linhe Village. An Xu gave all the classic recipes. Yesterday, I saw a shop that specializes in hot and sour fish soup. Meter.

This little guy still thinks it's not authentic, and that's completely out of mouth.

"By the way, sister, I heard that the three restaurants on the first floor, the taste building, launched new dishes yesterday, including fish head with chopped peppers, fish with pickled vegetables, and boiled pork slices. Many of my classmates have ordered them, and they are all full. The head is sweating profusely, but it is addictive. They bought their prescriptions from my sister."

An Xu nodded, "Yes. I also specially supply chili peppers to them, and their master chefs will develop new products in the future, and they will be delivered to our house for tasting as soon as possible."

"I knew it was my sister, but my classmates didn't believe it. Today I will help my sister, and my sister will make some to let them know."

No wonder the mouth is so sweet, my sister never leaves her mouth.

An Xu was funny and was about to agree, but Zong Che frowned first and said, "Aren't you afraid of tiring her?"

Rongcheng: "My sister cooks very well. I enjoy watching my sister cook. It won't be too tiring. And I can help."

Zong Che vetoed: "That's not okay either."

"You will protect my sister too much." Rong Cheng pouted, but my sister doesn't like you at all.

"It's okay, I was planning to make some spicy lo-mei in the afternoon, and I just made a few dishes." An Xu said.

Rongcheng cheered, he actually wanted his classmates to envy him for having such a good sister.
