The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 142
"In short, you may be required to be a hostage in the capital for a long time," he said, "but in terms of food, drink and clothing, I will not treat you badly."

After Zong Che finished speaking, he walked to the kitchen.

Standing outside, Mrs. Lin thought for a while before she finally understood why someone suddenly said that her son was going to take her to the capital.

If Mrs. Lin had known earlier, she would definitely not have brought the two younger sons, but the eldest son also said just now that he would find a way to take the sundial away.

There is nothing wrong with letting her be a hostage in the capital.

Zong Che walked into the kitchen, and Yan Diu and Yan Zhun, who were already helping An Xu wash the pig's trotters, stepped aside quickly.

"I wanted to eat soybeans and pig's trotters yesterday." Zong Che unceremoniously occupied the space given up by the two little guys, squatted down, and said, "I'll help."

An Xu gave him a funny look, as if he made soy and pig's trotters just for him to eat.

Some of the pig's trotters were not cleaned up. After washing it, An Xu held it and roasted it on the fire again, but Zong Che took over this job later.

A tall and tall man stood by the stove, with a blue apron tied around his waist. Just looking at his back, he actually revealed the feeling of a good man in IKEA.

Seeing such a son, Lin's heart was sore. When she left the Zong family, this child was not as tall as a stove, and so many years had passed in a blink of an eye.

An Xu gave Lin Shi a cucumber, and Lin Shi waved his hand: "I won't eat it."

"Is the clothes easy to make? Swallows and parrots are good at needlework, you can ask them to help." An Xu put the cucumber in the basket, and held one in his hand, talking to Lin while eating The matter of Zhuangyuan's mansion.

"My needlework is okay." Mrs. Lin listened carefully, and asked, "I can live in this Zhuangyuan Mansion for a few years. Do you need to take a look at the house first?"

Since she may live in the capital alone in the future, the house does not need to be big.

An Xu smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about these, there is Zong Che."

This is Zong Che's voice: "It's baked, what should I do next."

An Xu put the half-eaten cucumbers in the basket and went to clean the burnt pig's feet again.

In the evening, when the stewed soft pig's trotters were brought to the table, the three of Lin's mother and son couldn't believe it. It was just a delicious-looking pig's trotter, the kind they had eaten before.

"Braised trotters with soybeans are milder in taste, and trotters in sauce are more flavorful. You can choose according to your own preferences." An Xu said, and immediately started, taking a braised trotter with soybeans.

The pig's trotters stewed with soybeans have a very special fragrance, which is very attractive when mixed with the fragrance of the seasoning.

An Xu likes this better, and one person can eat one.

Seeing her hugging the pig's trotters and gnawing on them, Lin's mother and son, who felt uncomfortable everywhere since they entered the capital, felt a little relaxed unconsciously.

Following An Xu's example, Mrs. Lin first scooped up a smaller piece for each of her two sons, and took a piece for herself. While eating, she suddenly remembered her uncle's nephew, and said to An Xu, "Xu, Xu'er, my one Nephew, can you give him some?"

An Xu said: "There are still a lot in the kitchen, I'll ask someone to give it away."

In fact, she completely forgot that there was a guest from Yan's family in the outer courtyard, and she was about to get up to order. Zong Che held her arm with one hand, and said, "You eat, I'll talk about it."

When they eat, they usually don't let the servants around, so in the kitchen at this time, several maids and ladies are also eating.

Naturally, what they ate were the pig's trotters that An Xu gave them.

After Zong Che came in, everyone stopped joking and stood up to wait for orders. Zong Che went to find a bottle of garlic chili sauce before saying, "Pick up a few pig's trotters and send them to the front."

Aunt Luo thought she was going to give the guards a taste, thinking of the many young men in the family, she scooped up the remaining half of the pot.

When it was sent to the front yard, the guards couldn't eat it by themselves, regardless of their relatives, so Yan He also ate one.

A pig's trotter is always more than half a catty, and Yan He couldn't eat enough of one. He just felt that everything in the capital was delicious, and even things like pig's trotters could be made so delicious.

After another two days, I became more familiar with it, so I wandered all over the street, looking for a place that sells such delicious pig's trotters. I couldn't eat enough of the one that day.

One day, after dinner, Yan He came out from the street of Zhuangyuan Mansion, and walked to a street where there was a stewed meat shop every three houses. .

I only bought three catties of stewed pork, and I wanted to go back and ask my second aunt to taste it. I was hungry, so I just sat at a tea stall and ordered a pot of tea, and bought half a catty of cakes from a bakery next to it.

Use clean chopsticks to put the stewed meat into the biscuits, and sit there to eat.

While eating, I heard the guests at the next table talking about the Shen family, about flying a kite outside, and met old Mrs. Shen several times.

Before Yan He could understand, a middle-aged man wearing a hat rushed out from the side, grabbed the two people who were gossiping, and beat them up.

Yan He hurriedly took his own meat and cakes, watched outside for a while with a group of people, and heard many people say that the old lady of the Shen family had climbed a sparrow on a branch, but she couldn't see other girls like her climbing a high branch, It is purely because she feels that her own background is low and noble, and it is impossible for other girls to be like her.

Some people also said that the woman who was redeemed by Master Shen who was scared out of the capital by her was now an ordinary peasant woman.

Mrs. Shen is very skilled.

But their Shen family can't escape this circle, the old man likes the daughter of the little scholar's family, the old man likes prostitutes, and now their grandson is going to marry a woman from a brothel.

I heard that Zhuangyuan Lang's fiancée was almost engaged to Mr. Shen back then.

After listening for a long time, Yan He understood this sentence.

Seeing those people fighting more and more lively, Yan He hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and left.It doesn't matter if you watch the excitement, if you are involved in yourself, the second aunt's eldest son doesn't care, he will have no good fruit to eat.

Coming out of this Braised Pork Street, Yan He saw a seller of preserved fruit, went over to buy a few catties, and then weighed in a silver bag. The 20 taels given by his father when he went out turned out to be only three or five taels left.

But there is no way, the money has to be spent. When they were in their hometown, they didn't take much care of their second aunt and two little cousins.

Only now pay more attention and make up for it.

Just walking to the street of Zhuangyuan Mansion, seeing more than a dozen large carriages parked at the door from a distance, I was puzzled and worried that some important person had come to Zhuangyuan Mansion.

Yan He Xun patrolled at the door and did not dare to go in. The gatekeeper saw him and hurriedly said, "Master Yan, why don't you come in outside?"

Only then did Yan He come forward with a smile and asked, "Who is here in the house?"

"Miss's family," the gatekeeper said with a smile on his face, "it will be the wedding date of the young lady and the adult in 20 days, and everyone from the young lady's family is here."

Yan He was surprised, pointing to the many carriages outside, and asked, "Why are there so many carriages? Wasn't Mr. Zong a countryman before he was admitted to the top prize?"

"Yes," said the janitor, "but our lady is a good cook and has several shops under her name."

Shocked and envious, Yan He crossed the threshold with his things, but he always felt that there were so many things in his hands that he couldn't take them out.

Thinking about spending a lot of money to buy these things, and being reluctant to eat them by myself, I walked along the path in the mansion to the second gate.

There was a young man standing by the second gate, seeing him, he asked, "Master Yan, are you looking for two young masters?"

Yan He, who didn't know what to say, nodded quickly, and said, "I bought some stewed pork on the street, and gave it to my cousin and second aunt."

The little bottle said: "Then you go in, just now it was said that people from Miss's hometown want to see you."

Upon hearing this, Yan He unconsciously moved back.

Although the people in Linhe Village are also from the countryside, Yan He is still a little apprehensive.

Besides, all right, see what he does.

"Master Yan, go in." The little bottle reminded.

In fact, it wasn't that the An family in Linhe Village wanted to see Yan He, but they saw Mrs. Lin, and when they met with acquaintances, they naturally wanted to talk about the past years, and learned that she was sent to Beijing by the nephew of the married woman. Uncle Mother just said don't be someone who wants to cling to Zongche.

He also said that Zong Che is now an official, and many relatives are rushing to come. Lin, as a mother, since she came back at this time, she has to take care of this for him.

In order not to let some villains with bad intentions attach themselves to do evil outside in the name of Zong Che.

The uncle opened her mouth and didn't stop for a long time. The uncle would cut off a few sentences at first, but after hearing what she said was exaggerated, it made sense, so he stopped talking.

When Yan He came in with a little maid, he saw his second aunt sitting on the main seat, and beside him was a woman with gold all over her body, sitting sideways on a chair, pulling his second aunt. My aunt's hands are talking.

"You don't know that a lot of bad things about officials are caused by some irrelevant clan members. Our two families, even if there is no marriage between the two children today, we have to worry about who your clan is with."

"Ma'am, the second master of the Yan family is here." Yanzi reminded.

"Come here?" The auntie turned her head, looked up and down Yan He, who was standing not far from the door, and dared not go in, glanced aside, and said Lin: "You can't do this. At least I'm sending you off." The nephew from Shangjing is a close brother to your two sons, what will he look like if he is asked to go in and out of the Zhuangyuan's mansion wearing this look?"

Lin's experience these days left her with little time to think about herself, so she never thought about buying new clothes for her nephew.

At this moment, I saw that he was still wearing the same clothes he wore on the day he arrived in the capital, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "I didn't expect this, He'er, I will send you two new clothes later." go."

Yan He hurriedly said, "Second Aunt, what I'm wearing is also new."

Before he finished speaking, the aunt reprimanded An Yu who was sitting beside her and whispered to her younger brother: "You too, your aunt of the Lin family didn't think of it, why didn't you think of it? After all, I've lived in Zhuangyuan Mansion for so many days. It will still be your home in the future, and there are certain masters that you should do as you please.”
