"Madam Su, don't be so polite. You are a person of real ability. It doesn't matter if you take my bounty now. In the future, you don't have to call me Madam. You can just call me Aunt Lu."

Lu Nianyou held Su Xiaomu's hand affectionately, and now she felt that Su Xiaomu was her benefactor.

After all, if this face can be good, she can be proud in the Hou's mansion, and make all those who watched her lively before pay the price.

"Then I'm not going to be polite, Aunt Lu, you have to apply ointment and eat medicated diet for [-] consecutive days for the pimple on your face. Come, so I am afraid that I will continue to bother Aunt Lu for the next fifteen days."

Su Xiaomu agreed with Lu Nianyou, and then told her some precautions for acne treatment.

The two of them gossiped for a long time, the more Lu Nianyou talked to Su Xiaomu, the more she felt that she was a decent girl and a good girl worth getting along with.

So he admired her more and more, and began to care about Su Xiaomu's affairs in the capital.

"Xiaomu, I saw a man beside you yesterday, are you already married or just engaged?"

Lu Nianyou thought about how many younger children there were in his family. Although Su Xiaomu came from a lower family background and had no foundation in Beijing, she was a rare good girl. If she could really marry into the family, she would definitely be her husband. A big help.

In this way, to some extent, she is better than ordinary noble girls from aristocratic families.

Of the younger generations in her family, some of them may be good.

Hearing what Lu Nianyou meant, Su Xiaomu wanted to give her a red line?

"To tell you the truth, Aunt Lu, the one yesterday was my husband. This time I came to the capital to see the world, and also to accompany him in the imperial examination. Is it just a few days before the exam time? "

Lu Nianyou acted as a matchmaker for himself, which can be regarded as a glorious thing to say.

But Su Xiaomu didn't want to get involved with other men, especially when it came to marriage.

Gu Jingcheng, no matter how you say it, he can already be regarded as an excellent person.

"It's a pity." Lu Nianyou sighed, with a look of regret on his face, "I also said that if you are not married, I will find a way to match you with the younger generations of my family. Although I don’t have any fame now, but this time I’m going to take the imperial examination, I don’t know if I can be a Jinshi.”

Although Lu Nianyou felt it was a pity, Su Xiaomu already had a husband, and judging from the intimate gesture of the two of them last night, it didn't seem like they had a bad relationship, so it was inconvenient for her to continue talking about these things.

Then he changed the topic: "Then you have been in the capital for so long, so you can see something new?"

"The food in Fanlou is good, and the roses in the Western Regions are also very fragrant."

Hearing Lu Nianyou's question, Su Xiaomu realized that he really didn't see anything in the capital.

Although I had a little free time before, I didn't go anywhere to play. Most of the time I spent time in the yard.

It's a pity to think about it this way, after all, Gu Jingcheng will have an exam next time, no matter what she does, she has to worry about him, it seems that she really doesn't have much free time to do her own things for a while.

But when it came to Gu Jingcheng's exam, Su Xiaomu suddenly remembered that she was going to see him off on the day of his exam, and she was afraid that she would come to the Hou Mansion later.

So I communicated with Lu Nianyou in advance: "I'm going to send my husband to take the exam on the first day of the imperial examination, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come to Aunt Lu in time, so I will trouble you to wait for me on that day."

"It's nothing. My family also has children who are going to take the exam. Maybe we can meet there then."

Lu Nianyou didn't take this matter to heart, as long as she didn't delay her [-]-day treatment time.

So Lu Nianyou left Su Xiaomu to have lunch at the mansion, and Gu Jingcheng hadn't returned from the Shangguan mansion when she went back.

Presumably because the imperial examination is coming soon, Shangguanrui wants to keep Gu Jingcheng in the mansion to discuss articles.

I don't know if someone who is as good at studying as Gu Jingcheng has pre-exam anxiety?
Su Xiaomu bought vegetables and went home. After she went back, she rested for a while, and then estimated the time. Seeing that it was getting dark, she made sure that Gu Jingcheng must be coming back soon before going to the kitchen to cook.

Today was a happy day, and it was the first time for the two of them to eat at home, so Su Xiaomu cooked a large table of sumptuous dishes.

When she was shopping at the market today, she saw clams and shrimps for sale, so she bought some and planned to make clams stuffed shrimp slippery.

Speaking of which, Su Xiaomu has been here in ancient times for so long, and this is the first time he has eaten seafood.

In the past, I could occasionally see some seafood in the market in Fucheng, but because Fucheng is not close to the sea, and there is only a small river around it, most of them are stale and expensive seafood.

Su Xiaomu wanted to buy something to try something new before, but he didn't see what he wanted to eat after shopping a few times, so he gave up.

Put the bought clams in an iron basin and add clean water to cover them, and drop a few drops of clear oil in it, so that the clams can spit out the sand.

After the shrimp is made into shrimp paste, add chopped carrots and mix well, then put the clams that have spit out the sand into the pan and stir fry, then add green onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell.

After all the clams in the pot have opened, take them all into another container and put them away, then stuff the shrimp slips mixed with chopped carrots into the open clams, then put them in the pot and steam for a quarter of an hour.

Of course, what is more important is the sauce poured on the clam stuffed shrimp slide.

Add a spoonful of starch into two spoonfuls of soy sauce, then add half a spoonful of sugar and a small bowl of water, stir in the pot until it becomes thick, then pour it on the stuffed clams and shrimps, and finally sprinkle a little green onion, this dish is easy It is done.

The second dish is shredded pork with Beijing sauce. Su Xiaomu wanted to make this dish because he was hungry.

Cut the cucumber, carrot, green onion and tenderloin into shreds for later use. After the shredded meat is shredded, add spices to remove the fishy smell, then add salt, light soy sauce and an egg white starch to mix well and set aside for later use.

Add the special sauce to another clean bowl, then start another pot, heat the pot and put in the oil, then pour the marinated shredded pork into the pot and stir fry.

The sauce is poured on the shredded pork, and it is constantly stir-fried to color it. In about three to four minutes, a plate of shredded pork with Beijing sauce is out of the pan.

After Su Xiaomu finished cooking, he thought that Gu Jingcheng would have an exam soon, so he wanted to eat something light, so he cooked a pot of vegetable soup non-stop.

Finally, when two dishes and one soup were served, Gu Jingcheng just opened the door and walked in.

Gu Jingcheng once defined many definitions for a good life.

He originally thought that being a Jinshi after the imperial examination would mean a happy life.

I also thought that the family would have enough food and clothing, and that they would no longer have to live in poverty like they used to.

I even thought that if he is happy alone, he is happy.
