Chapter 91 Dog Claw Beans

Shen Jia carried the fish and dog claw beans home. As soon as he entered the gate, he met six pairs of eyes ready to gossip.

Shen Jia held his forehead, and sure enough, there was gossip everywhere, regardless of gender, age or child.

Shouldn't they care about what Xu Fan said to her alone?

Why did her mother's demeanor change when she was whispering in her ear every day that she should guard her sex?
  Why didn't her father, who worried about his daughter being abducted all the time, not care now?

Shen Zhuoyun took the wooden bucket from Shen Jia's hand, and Mrs. Gu also took the dog claw beans. Shen Hao moved a small stool and said in an awkward manner: "Sister, please sit down." After saying that, he went back to the house and poured a cup of tea for Shen. Chia, "Sister, drink tea."

Then he took out the cone fruit from his pocket and started eating it.

Vertebral fruit is also called pointed chestnut or rice vertebra. Its shape is somewhat similar to chestnut, hazelnut, and acorn. Its shell is thinner than chestnut, and its fruit is about the same size as peanuts.

In September, the mountains near Beili Village are full of fallen vertebrae. Whenever adults and children in the village have free time, they will go to the mountains to pick them up and cook or fry them. They taste pink, glutinous and sweet, with a delicate texture, and can be paired with Many ingredients are cooked together.

Shen Jia glanced at his parents and eldest brother who looked like a bunch of people eating melons, pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Jia'er, that boy Xu Fan has been talking to you alone for so long. What did he say to you? Can you tell us?" Shen Zhuoyun asked first at Gu's signal.

Is Shen Jia's gossip so good?

I saw her talking nonsense seriously: "Brother Xu Fan said that dad has promised to betroth me to him..."

"What? This brat, when did I say such a thing? No, I have to go find him to reason. If this word gets out, your reputation will be gone." Shen Zhuoyun said angrily.

Mrs. Gu grabbed Shen Zhuoyun who was about to walk out, "You! It's true that caring leads to chaos. All the wisdom and wisdom of the past have been thrown away. Don't you see what's wrong?"

Shen Zhuoyun understood it immediately after thinking about it carefully, and glared at Shen Jia: "Smelly girl, is dad's joke funny?"

Shen Jia said seriously, "It's okay!"

Shen Zhuoyun was so angry that his head almost started to smoke, and he turned away from Shen Jia.

Shen Jia was just joking as a price for them wanting to see her gossip. Now seeing that Shen Zhuoyun was really angry, he just gave up and said, "Don't guess, Xu Fan didn't say anything! Anyway, I rejected him righteously."

Shen Zhuoyun looked at Shen Jia and asked seriously, "Jia'er, Xu Fan is above average in terms of appearance, character and knowledge. Do you really not want to consider it?"

Shen Jia shook his head, "Don't think about it."

"Okay, dad knows." After Shen Zhuoyun said that, he returned to the kitchen with the bucket, and Shen Hao also followed to help kill the fish.

"Jia'er, how do you make this pod?"

"I'll teach you how to do it!"

Shen Jia left two bunches out to make seeds. Rinse the rest and put them into the pot, add water to cover the dog claw beans, and cover the pot.

Mrs. Gu sat in front of the stove and burned firewood. Three-quarters of an hour later, she heard the gurgling sound of water.

"Mom, the water is boiling, put out the heat, let it simmer for a quarter of an hour and then take it out. The reason for this is that the skin of the dog claw beans is easier to tear."

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Jia took the dog claw beans into a plate, brought two small stools, and began to tear the dog claw beans skin.

"Jia'er, do you want the dog claw bean skin?"

"Yes, you don't need to soak the tofu skin. Cut it into fine pieces and stir-fry it. It's fragrant and chewy. Some people like to eat dog claw bean skin the most."

"Do you want bean shells too?"       "Yes, they are delicious when fried."

Shen Yun and Shen An lost interest after watching the fish killing for a while. When they saw Shen Jia and Gu sitting on small stools handling dog claw beans, they joined in the fun.

Shen Yun was more patient and tore the skin cleanly.

Shen An tore up a few of them like a dog chewing them, and soon lost his patience. His little buttocks moved around as if they were bitten by insects.

"An'er, do you have teeth in your butt?" Shen Jia teased.

"Jia'er, be careful with your words." Mrs. Gu glanced at Shen Jia disapprovingly, how could a lady like us say such inelegant words.

Shen Jia smiled and said, "I will change it next time."

When Shen An saw that her sister had been scolded by her mother because of him, Shen An immediately sat up straight and worked seriously.

After half an hour, the dog claw beans were processed and soaked in water.

Shen Zhuoyun and Shen Hao also killed the fish. The big one is braised fish with perilla, and the small one is fried over slow heat.

The strong aroma of fish slowly spreads in the air, making every nerve in people yearn for the delicious taste of fish.

Not surprisingly, everyone in the Shen family was full tonight.

Wucheng magistrate's office.

Qi Xuan, the magistrate of Wucheng, held the hand of his wife Wen Mingxue and said softly: "Xue'er, are you really going to Yixian to see Miss Shen for medical treatment?"

"Well! I must give it a try. Maybe it will work this time? Miss Shen can cure her father and brother's malaria and the plague, which shows her superb medical skills. What if I don't even want to try? Are you worthy of your husband?"

Qi Xuan hugged Wen Mingxue emotionally, "It's all because of my bad husband, and I didn't protect you well."

Wen Mingxue leaned in Qi Xuan's arms, tears flashing in her eyes, "I don't blame my husband for my body, I only blame myself for my bad luck."

Qi Xuan sighed and said, "That's all. My husband will accompany you to Yixian tomorrow! It's just in time to see who the girl who the emperor's eldest son specifically ordered me not to leak her information to be."

"Yeah!" Wen Mingxue nodded.

Qi Xuan is the second son of An Guogong, and Wen Mingxue is the sister of Wen Mingrui, the minister of Dali Temple.

The marriage between the two was proposed to Wen Mingrui by Duke An Guo himself. This made Mrs. An Guogong, who had originally planned to let Qi Xuan marry her natal niece, extremely unhappy. There were a lot of things going on overtly and covertly, but Qi Xuan and Wen Mingxue had an affection for one man and an interest for a concubine. Mrs. An Guogong couldn't get rid of them at all, so she had no choice but to hold a wedding for them.

After the marriage, Mrs. An Guogong was naturally very dissatisfied with this undesirable daughter-in-law.

It is simply too easy for a mother-in-law to tease her daughter-in-law. At the beginning of Mao Shi, I would go to my mother-in-law's yard to set the rules, serve tea and pour water. If it was too hot or too cold, I would be punished by kneeling down if I disagreed. It's not that Qi Xuan has never fought, but every time he spoke up for Wen Mingxue, she was punished even more severely.

This kind of nit-picking behavior would not be easy to solve even if the Wen family comes.

Once Wen Mingxue accidentally broke a cup and was punished by kneeling in the ice and snow for an hour, which eventually led to her miscarriage.

Qi Xuan was furious, and Duke An Guo and the Wen family were also angry. In the end, Duke An Guo's wife was punished to spend half a year in seclusion. But half a year later, something happened to her again. She started looking for someone to be Qi Xuan's concubine on the grounds that Wen Mingxue had been childless for two years, but was rejected by An Guogong in the end.

Qi Xuan also saw through his mother, so he discussed with his brother-in-law Wen Mingrui to get an official position in Lingnan, and took Wen Mingxue to Lingnan to take up the post.

After all, Wen Mingxue's miscarriage still hurt her body, and after three years in Lingnan, there was still no movement in her stomach. Although Qi Xuan always comforted her and told her to let nature take its course and to have no heirs, how could she not worry?
