From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 412
Thanking him for his help just now, Mei Xin personally carried the pot and refilled a cup of tea for him, saying: "The family ugliness must not be publicized, let the Hou Ye laugh!"

Anyway, Mei Jingxuan's surname is still Mei today, and she is still from the Mei family. If the word "rebellion" is spread and people add fuel to it, I'm afraid it will lead to disaster.Therefore, she reminded him with a pun, and at the same time hoped that he would keep his mouth shut.

As a son of a family, Zongzheng Mingzhen is not a noble son who does not eat fireworks in the world. On the contrary, he has heard too much about the dirty things in the families of the ministers of the court.And not only the ministers of the DPRK and China, but also the children of rich families are not up to date, and there are also unscrupulous hob meat.Therefore, in comparison, this incident is nothing at all, not worth mentioning.

Smiling slightly, he said very gently: "Didn't you say to call me by my name, why did you call him Lord Hou again?"

Originally, he wanted her to call him by his own name, but who knew she would not, the next best thing was to let her call him by his own name.

But only met a few times and had a meal, Mei Xin always felt that she was not familiar enough to call her by his first name.However, in view of his familiarity and the fact that he had said good things for her in front of the emperor before, she respectfully called out: "Ming Zhen!"

The voice was neither soft nor heavy, neither fast nor slow, and it wasn't as nice as Huang Li, but I don't know why Zongzheng Mingzhen found it particularly pleasant, and always felt that the two words from her mouth were full of affection.

He was very satisfied with a smile on his face, and after a soft "um", he brought out the food box he brought and said: "My mother is good at making pastries, and I heard that you have morning sickness and poor appetite, and specially made Poria cakes, jujube yam cake, hibiscus cake, chestnut yellow and bean curd.”

While talking, he opened the four-storey food boxes one by one, took out the plates one by one and put them on the table, and continued: "I don't know if you like salty bean curd or sweet ones, my mother packed a bowl of each, and the food There’s charcoal in the box and it’s still hot, try it.”

It was also a coincidence that just as he got off his horse at the gate of Prince Liang's Mansion, he ran into Lamei who came to deliver food.Seeing that he was going to see Mei Xin in a while, she gave him the food box and gave him instructions carefully.She said that her mother Bai Yulan got up early in the morning to make all these, and if it was okay to eat, she would make them and send them tomorrow.

He was stunned when he heard it, because his mother had never made a pastry since his father passed away.

In fact, not to mention the pastries, even the kitchen was seldom entered, and in the first two years, he wanted to eat the pastries she made a few times, but she didn't make them at all.It's useless to make a fuss, so I dragged my sister to make a fuss, and she really had no choice but to do it.

On the surface, I agreed to do it, but the taste of the food was not right. After asking, I found out that it was made by her, and it was all made by the cook.And the small kitchen in her main yard, the pots and pans are probably rusted.

Surprised by surprise, shocked by shock, he still carried the food box into Prince Liang's Mansion, and sent his mother's heart to Mei Xin.

Seeing that these snacks are all mother's best, and bean curd was also father's favorite food during his lifetime, Zongzheng Mingzhen's heart was filled with mixed feelings.His father died early, and now he can't remember his voice and smile clearly.I just remember that he was very kind to his mother, sister, and himself, and as long as he was at home, the smile on his mother's face would never stop.

For many years, he could no longer remember what it was like when his mother laughed.

In his previous life, he had practiced the ability to hide his emotions and anger, and Zongzheng Mingzhen did not show the sadness in his heart.He put two porcelain spoons into the bowl of bean curd one after another, and said: "It is thanks to you, since my father passed away, I haven't eaten pastry and bean curd made by my mother for many years. Don't you Seeing my mother carelessly as if she doesn’t care about anything, and she is very busy doing things, but in fact she is very, very lonely. My mother has only two children under her knees. My elder sister entered the palace, although she can enter the palace from time to time Visiting, but it is inconvenient to speak in the palace. In addition, my sister has a lot of palace affairs to deal with, and my mother is not willing to go after a long time."

With a bitter smile, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Seeing that Mei Xin was listening seriously, he opened his mouth again and said, "I'm working in front of the emperor. It looks like I'm in the capital, and I go home every day, but in fact, it's hard to touch people who go out early and return late every day." To her. Talking is even less, and I am now an adult, and I don’t seem to have anything to say except asking about your health. After seeing you that day, she felt that she was very compatible. Now that I'm playing with you, I can come to your house to drop by."

"Mei Xin, if my mother disturbs you or causes you trouble, I am here to apologize to you first, and at the same time, I hope you can take more care of me in the future." Grateful.

Although Shangguan Xinrou is not a loving mother, he knows that Mei Xin is filial, and he knew it in the previous life.Therefore, I want to win her sympathy and then take the opportunity to get close to her, and slowly develop feelings.

Because Bai Yulan was very enthusiastic before, Mei Xin became suspicious, thinking that her motives were impure and had some purpose, so she was wary of her.However, she is kind-hearted and unwilling to save others with evil, and what Zongzheng Mingzhen said about her seems to be quite pitiful. After thinking about her current situation as a widow, she suddenly felt that she might be thinking too much.

Bai Yulan was different from her. She was a weak woman who was widowed at a young age, not to mention she was guarding Nuoda's family business to raise two children. It was not easy.It is estimated that the friend who is lonely on weekdays and has nothing to say, sees that he is easy to talk and is the neighbor next door, so he wants to get closer and wants to move around more on weekdays.

It was understandable, and she even felt the same way. The kind and soft-hearted Mei Xin pointed to the pastries on the table and said, "You're saying the wrong thing. It's not my aunt who is causing trouble to me, but I am causing trouble to my aunt."

There are so many pastries, although the portion is not large, but there are many patterns, and they are all made by themselves, so they must be up before dawn.And the beancurd must be ground with a stone grinder, which takes a lot of effort.It seems that she really likes her as she said, and she hits it off. Otherwise, how could Mrs. Hou, who usually doesn't touch Yang Chunshui, get up so early to make food.

Seeing that Mei Xin took a spoonful of salted bean curd and put it into his mouth, Zongzheng Mingzhen was overjoyed and blurted out: "The soy sauce on the bean curd is made by my mother herself. If you like it, I will send a small jar. It is also sold in the store, the recipe is the same, but the taste is not as good as my mother's. My mother likes to eat cold noodles in summer, put some soybean paste and sprinkle with oil and chili, the taste is not to mention how good it is."

He also loves to eat, and his father loves to eat even more. To this day, he still remembers the picture of the family eating under the grape arbor.
