The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1117
Jin Yang is a new daughter-in-law who has just passed through the door. In the past, she only heard that the Dongshan Hou Mansion was lively during the New Year, but she had never experienced it herself. Now this place has become her home. Although it was busy years ago, she lived a fulfilling life. It is very lively.

She and Xuan Shijing did many things in the mansion by themselves. In the past, they only tasted good food. In the past few days, I can see Xuan Shijing do it by himself, some pickled lo-mei, deep-fried fried food, etc. goods and the like.

"I didn't expect these delicious food to be made by my husband. My husband really likes to tinker with these things." In the kitchen, Xuan Shijing was in front of the pot, flipping the strainer in his hand, and some fried goods were fried in the pot.

"Food is the most important thing for the people. Who made your husband greedy? You stay away. There is too much oily smoke in this kitchen." Xuan Shijing saw Jinyang sitting on the long bench behind him. It's full of fumes, don't choke.

"It's okay, my husband is busy with his work, and my concubine is my husband's helper." Jin Yang smiled slightly.

Jin Yang felt that occasionally the husband and wife doing something in the kitchen was considered a joy of life, and it was no wonder that his husband liked to cook occasionally, and occasionally, it was indeed a fun thing.

Xuan Shijing fished out the contents of the oil pan with a strainer, and put it in the porcelain basin beside it.

There are not many kinds of vegetables that can be eaten in winter, and lotus root is one of them. Xuan Shijing cut the lotus root, and then cut a gap in it, stuffed the prepared meat stuffing, wrapped it in flour, and put it in the oil pan. Deep-fried, just fried to the temperature that can be eaten, it is called a crispy outside and tender inside.

The noodles wrapped outside were fried into golden yellow, and another batch was put into the pot. Xuan Shijing took one out of the porcelain pot, blew it, and sprinkled some salt and pepper and cumin on it from the side, Pass it to Jinyang.

"Try it, it's just out of the pot."

Jin Yang took it, blew the hot air on it, and carefully dissipated it in one gulp. The outer skin was very crispy, and the lotus root was also crispy. The meat inside was tender and juicy. The mixed aroma spread in the mouth, making people feel Can't stop.

"good to eat!"

Jinyang also ate these dishes sent to the palace by the Hou Mansion earlier, but they were already cold when they were delivered, and the taste will be different when Shangshi Bureau heats them up.

Shangshi Bureau cooks, steaming, boiling, and toasting. Three tricks are fresh, and you can eat them all over the world.

"Husband makes so many?" Jinyang saw that there were still some unfried lotus root boxes piled up on the pot table, and if they were all fried, it would take more than two pots.

"It's just what we eat at our own house. It's ready, and it's durable. It's two pots for farmers and merchants. It's good to heat it up when it's time to eat." Xuan Shijing said: "This is an indispensable dish for the New Year at the house. What about the food?"

"Does your husband want to do anything else?" Jin Yang asked while eating.

"There are still some purple melons, we need to do the same." Xuan Shijing responded.

Purple melon is eggplant. There are two kinds of eggplant, one is stuffed with meat, and the other is stuffed with leek and egg.

"Then I'll help my husband clean up those purple melons." Jin Yang stuffed the last piece of lotus root box into his mouth and stood up.

"Just let the kitchen help do it."

"But my husband is so busy with work, and I want to help my husband too. For the kitchen helpers, let them get some firewood and prepare the ingredients."

"Okay, Sizi, just wash the purple melon and cut it open."

The whole afternoon, the couple were busy in the kitchen. Tomorrow was the New Year's Eve. At noon on the New Year's Eve, everyone in the Hou Mansion would have a banquet, prepare sacrifices in the afternoon, and send them to the ancestral hall.

This year, there is one more person who can enter the ancestral hall of the Xuan family, and that is Jinyang. Jin Yang is now the eldest wife of the Xuan family, and it is also a courtesy to visit the ancestral hall during festivals.

After lunch at noon, Mrs. Wang brought Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang to the Xuan family's ancestral hall. The chief steward Zhong Zishuo was also there. He could only wait outside the door until Xuan Shijing and the others came out. Only Zhong Zishuo could go in and offer incense to Xuan Mingde.

The Xuan family's ancestral hall is very empty, and there are two tablets enshrined on the top, one is Xuan Mingde, and the other is Xuan Mingde's adoptive father, Xuan Shijing's grandfather who is not related by blood.

The sacrifices enshrined in the ancestral hall, a sheep, a dolphin, and cattle are not available at Xuan Shijing's level. The rest are grains and some dried fruits and vegetables.

Cigarettes curled up in the ancestral hall. Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang knelt on the futon and respectfully kowtowed. After saluting, they told Xuan Mingde about some major events that happened this year. The next thing is that Mrs. Wang talked with her deceased husband in the ancestral hall.

"I've heard that my husband's family is a separate family. Today, I entered the ancestral hall. It's true." On the way back to the courtyard, Jin Yang talked about it.

"That's right, my father is a child adopted by the grandson of Xuan's parents. He has no status in the Xuan family. If it is true according to the tradition, the family business of the Xuan family should also be inherited by the Xuan Lindao family." Xuan Shijing Said: "It's just that during the war, the Xuan family fell and even the ancestral hall was destroyed. When my father followed His Majesty, he was considered capable in Chang'an, so he rebuilt the Xuan family's ancestral hall. It’s just that later, when Xuan Lindao’s family came to Chang’an and told so much right and wrong, they simply returned the ancestral hall to them. I have relied on my father's shadow, but apart from this name, most of the rest are the result of the hard work of this big family, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Xuanlindao family."

"That's the case of my husband being poisoned."

"It's more or less related to their family, but it's just that they haven't pursued it too much." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "What will happen if we really investigate it? Murdering a Marquis, Xuan Lindao's family will not survive. The real Xuan family will have no sons or grandchildren."

"Husband, do you still hate them?" Jin Yang asked.

"Hate, why don't you hate? But think about it the other way around. If there was no Xuan family back then, there would be no my father. Without my father, where did I come from? My grandfather died early, and it was a troubled time back then. My father did not repay the Xuan family's upbringing." The kindness owed to others should be repaid by me as a son. Now, this kindness has long been clear. If there is any relationship between the current Hou Mansion and the Xuan family, it is that my grandfather is the root of the family. Zheng Miaohong belongs to the Xuan family."

When I was young, Xuan Shijing wished for Xuan Lindao and his wife to die, but after so many years, it has passed, and the two families are in good condition now.

"Speaking of this, it can also reflect how important it is for a man to marry a wife." Xuan Shijing smiled at Jin Yang.
