don't wear no acquaintance

"When did my uncle learn how to cook?"

Standing at the door of the kitchen, watching Bai Shile skillfully mixing stuffing inside, Yuxiao asked Xia Guang in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, Xia Guangwen was confused by this question!

Yup!

When did the 'young master' master this cooking skill?

Did you learn it secretly behind his back?

Or did you learn it from 'Young Madam' again?
However, I haven't seen 'Young Madam' ever go down to the kitchen!
Don't tell me, this is really weird!
Xia Guang, who couldn't figure it out, looked at the skillful movements of his 'young master' in the kitchen and gave him a far-fetched explanation that he was self-taught.

Yes, it must be so!

After all, his 'young master' has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he has a photographic memory of what he learns. It seems that cooking is not unusual!
However, something seems not right...

Zhao Yunshen was extremely calm. He stood aside and watched the tall Bai Shile put in the seasonings, then stirred the meat filling in one go, then added chopped cabbage to get out the moisture, then took out the dough and kneaded it skillfully into a long and even strip, and then kneaded it into a long and uniform strip. Form the dough into evenly sized pieces, then pick up the rolling pin prepared by the maid and roll it out skillfully;

Three or four times, a dough with even thickness, suitable size, thin edges and thick heart is enough. Those slender and beautiful ones were rolled out while turning the dough. In the blink of an eye, four or five were rolled out. The maids who looked at them were amazed and felt in their hearts. She was extremely confused as to when she had learned such a skill, but she didn't dare to ask because of the majesty of the "adult".

"Wrap them all, no matter how they are wrapped, but the secret cannot be exposed."

Seeing that his three maids were dumbfounded, Bai Shile started to remind them.

"Yes--"

The three maids are all very clever, and they often make dumpling baits on weekdays. It is really not a problem for them, so they agreed and got started.

"Miss, the stuffing made by my uncle smells very fragrant, I guess it won't be bad at all!"

Yurun approached Zhao Yunshen and laughed softly, quickly holding the dumpling bait in his hand.

"I'll try it too!"

Suddenly, Zhao Yunshen also became interested, and as he spoke, he stepped forward to pick up the dough and wrap it up like Yurun and the others;

However, the first one couldn't control his strength well, and his hands were a bit too strong and the skin was broken. However, the turtle-haired Bai Shile couldn't bear to say anything and even encouraged him. For a while, Zhao Yunshen actually started learning with enthusiasm.

After making about four or five ugly dumplings, Zhao Yunshen finally got the hang of it, and gradually got a feel for it, and the dumplings he made took on a different look.

By the time they finished making dumplings while playing and making trouble, it was almost time. Someone came from the old house to urge them, saying that the old man had asked them to come over earlier. Bai Shile and Zhao Yunshen simply tidied up and changed into clean and festive clothes. Then he took the three maids, Xia Guang, and the dumplings they made to the old house next door.

As soon as they arrived at the front yard of the old house, Zhao Sanliu, the most trusted person of grandfather Zhao and the housekeeper of the old house, stopped him and asked Bai Shile to come over.

With Zhao Yunshen's reminder, Bai Shile naturally knew that she was being asked to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense and worship to the ancestors of the Zhao family, and she was immediately frightened and panicked;
If the ancestors of the Zhao family recognized her as a fake, they would not be able to take her away on the spot!
bah bah bah!
Bai Shile, who had personally experienced the wonders of the world, hurriedly sighed three times in her heart, fearing that she would be taken away, so she could only bite the bullet and ask Zhao Yunshen for help;

"Husband, go ahead and come back quickly!"

Zhao Yunshen had no choice but to gently squeeze Bai Shile's big hand under the cover of his sleeves to show encouragement.

"Then...then I'm going!"

Bai Shile had a serious face, but the look in her eyes was as if she was on the execution ground with an inexplicable sense of determination. Zhao Sanliu on the side couldn't help but look at her a few more times and thought;
When he went to pay homage to his ancestors, why did the 'eldest young master' feel like he was dying?
Looking at 'her' eyes, it was as if she would never see the young lady again!
After all, they are a young couple, and they are so tight!However, this is the first time that the old man has seen the 'eldest young master' being so clingy!
In the end, Bai Shile followed Zhao Sanliu towards the ancestral hall;

But what can be done? She can’t go if she doesn’t!

I only hope that the ancestors of the Zhao family can show mercy!

Watching Bai Shile enter the archway of the backyard, Zhao Yunshen turned around and headed towards the front hall. When he arrived at the door of the hall, he heard his grandmother's laughter, followed by his mother's joyful voice;
"I don't know for sure. Maybe there will be good news in the new year!"

Zhao Yunshen roughly understood what his mother meant by the 'good news'. His steps to cross the threshold suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but lower his head to look at his belly. Then he heard his cousin's cute and joyful voice;
"Then am I going to be an aunt?"

"Then I have to ask my nanny to teach me how to embroider some nice clothes for my nephew as soon as possible!"

Zhao Wenxue had always been well-behaved and sensible, but her voice was inexplicably excited at this moment, as if she already had a nephew, leaving Zhao Yunshen speechless at the door.

"It's time to prepare, maybe we already have one!"

Grandma's slightly older voice was also full of joy, which showed that she was in an excellent mood at this time and was looking forward to her great-grandson.

"What mother said is that I will have them get ready in a few days. They need to be more prepared. Little people are good at what they do, so they need to be well prepared!"

Mother Zhao was also very excited, wishing she could go back to the house right now to thread her needlework, sew clothes and trousers for her grandson, and trace flowers and embroidery.

"Young lady is here? It's very cold outside. Come inside quickly to warm up!"

At this time, Granny Tian who happened to be in her grandmother's room came out from behind the curtain. When she saw Zhao Yunshen outside the door, she happily led her inside.

When the grandmother, mother, and cousin Wen Xue in the room heard that their grandson-in-law/daughter-in-law/sister-in-law had arrived, they immediately stopped talking and smiled at the woman who was wearing a plum-print silver-red brocade white fur-edged cloak and a calamus-colored pleated skirt. Wearing a collared coat and skirt, with only a gold-encrusted ruby ​​​​pin on her head, Zhao Yunshen, who was simple, elegant and festive, walked towards them with elegant little steps.

Grandma’s eyes were full of joy, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were telling her joy, so she started to smile;
"We, the three of us, just told you that you are here right now. You are such a clever person!"

In more than 20 years, Zhao Yunshen, who had never been praised in such a tone by his elders, felt a little uncomfortable, but it must be said that it was very novel.

After getting along with each other in a different way in recent months, Zhao Yunshen was able to joke with them and immediately asked with a smile;
"Is grandma going to say bad things about her grandson again?"

After speaking, the people also arrived, and they bowed gracefully and obediently to the grandmother in the main seat and the mother on the side.

"Okay, okay, don't tire my son!"

Grandma Zhao, who had some thoughts in her mind, quickly raised her hand to stop her, fearing that she would tire her 'granddaughter-in-law''s stomach.

Even Zhao's mother stood up quickly, took Zhao Yunshen's hand and went over to sit down.

"Sister-in-law is such a good person, what bad things can we say?"

Zhao Wenxue, who was sitting on the other side, stood up, knelt down, and then joked.

"Xue'er is right. After much thought, my old lady really can't think of anything wrong with you, so I can't say such bad things. You can just do a bad thing someday and tell grandma about it! "

Grandma Zhao is a very lively and funny old man. As soon as she said these words, the four young people, the old and the young, as well as the maids and women in the room all burst into laughter...
