From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 51

Even though he knew that Zongzheng Mingzhen had made up his mind and that the safflower juice was too thick to change, Li Yu still couldn't bear to say: "Master, is this too cruel? She is pregnant with Madam lifeblood."

"My mother doesn't know what lifeblood is. Don't bother, go quickly. If you can't handle this matter, you will stay at home forever." Extremely suspicious that Li Yu was bribed or was influenced by his mother, he rambled It's annoying.

Li Yu really wanted to keep Mrs. Zongzhenghou's precious grandson, but the little Marquis refused.Forget it, he tried his best, if the wife finds out later, he will be punished with a cane.

Li Yu's back ached a little at the thought of being beaten, but there was nothing he could do.With his head drooping like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, he resigned himself to his fate and said, "Okay, then, then I'll go."

Lifting his foot and kicking Li Yu to get out quickly, Zongzheng Mingzhen pricked up his ears against the wall and listened again.Mei Xin, who had already inquired clearly, didn't know anything about it. After talking about the Qingfeng Pavilion, Su Yu'an talked to Wu Liu about the East China Sea.

Wu Liu was very interested. Seeing that Mei Xin seemed to be interested in letting him go, he agreed after careful consideration.

The three of them were very happy when the matter was settled, and Su Yu'an and Wu Liu drank happily while pushing and changing glasses.Not long after, the waiter from the shop came to serve the dishes, and the color of a braised fish was extraordinarily bright and beautiful.

Mei Xin doesn't like to eat fish, she thinks there are too many thorns and it's too troublesome.Therefore, he directly pushed it in front of Wu Liu and said, "This fish is their signature dish. You both love fish, so hurry up and try it."

For some unknown reason, she suddenly felt a bit fishy, ​​her stomach was churning as if something was bumping upwards, Mei Xin turned her head, covered her mouth and retched.

Concerned about Mei Xin's body, she specifically asked her mother about the woman's reaction after she became pregnant.Knowing that she was having morning sickness, she immediately poured a cup of hot water and handed it over, saying, "My sister never likes to eat fish, I think I just don't care about the smell, so take it away."

There are the most fish, shrimp and crabs in the East Sea, and he doesn't know how much he has eaten this year.Therefore, I have long been used to it, and I don't want to eat much.

Mei Xin is not yet married, Wu Liu naturally dare not think about pregnancy.Guessing that the fish was not fresh, he picked up the plate and smelled it.Salty, spicy and delicious, the taste is very good, and it doesn't smell fishy at all. He said suspiciously: "It's not fishy. I think the major general doesn't like it. The waiter..."

Mei Xin quickly waved her hand before she finished speaking, took a sip of hot tea and said, "No need to withdraw, you can eat. I'm full, and the room is a bit stuffy. I'll go down and see what Sanniang and the others are doing."

After saying that, she stood up, Mei Xin resisted the nausea and went out.

Wu Liu was at a loss when he got up, but Su Yu'an said, "My sister has a bad stomach, and you also know that during the war, she ate every meal and it hurt her stomach."

Pulling Wu Liu to sit down, Su Yu'an poured him another bottle of wine and said, "Come on, we brothers continue to drink. It's rare that I can talk to brother Liu. Today we brothers will not go home until we are drunk."

Wu Liu also felt the same way, and felt that Su Yu'an was a worthy person, so he raised his glass and said solemnly, "Thanks to my second younger brother for looking after me, sixth brother will follow you from now on."

"Sixth Brother is serious. I will rely on Sixth Brother a lot in the future, and I hope that Sixth Brother will not hesitate to teach you!" Su Yu'an drank it all in one gulp.

Wu Liu didn't play tricks with him, and didn't say anything more, he drank the wine glass to the brim.

In the private room, the host and guests had a good time, and outside the private room, Mei Xin also went downstairs.Sanniang and the others hadn't finished eating yet, when they saw her coming down, they immediately got up and called out: "Young general!"

Raising her hand to signal them all to sit down, Mei Xin turned her head to look at Yuan Ying who came down with her and said, "I remember your sister likes to eat the roast chicken here, and I'll ask the waiter in the shop to take two of them home."

Surprised, Yuan Ying never thought that Mei Xin would remember these little things, let alone what his sister likes to eat.I was grateful in my heart and saluted immediately: "Thank you, Young General!"

"The family doesn't talk about the two families, let's sit down and eat." Sitting casually, Mei Xin took a piece of dried apricot in her hand, and said: "You all sit down and continue eating. After eating, let's go out for a walk. Half a year I haven’t been around the city, so I don’t know what’s changed.”

More than half a year, if counted according to the previous life, she has not been to Liangzhou for many years.

Liangzhou, the place where the Mei family has been stationed for generations, and the place where she grew up, compared to the capital, she feels that this is her home.

Although following Mei Xin's campaigns and never treating herself as a woman, San Niang and the others are still women after all.Therefore, everyone likes to go shopping, especially Luoqiu, who was delighted when he heard it, clapping his hands and applauding: "Okay, I'm just wanting to eat candy cakes. It's not long before the genius is dark, and the old Wu will definitely confiscate the stall."

Luoqiu salivated at the thought of the soft, glutinous but non-sticky sugar cake, fearing that she would be too full to eat the sugar cake, so she simply put down the chopsticks in her hand.

Smiling without saying a word, Mei Xin signaled them to eat quickly, and after the meal was finished, tell Su Yu'an to go out quickly.As the night got darker and colder, all the people who set up stalls outside went back, and they couldn't buy anything they wanted.

The meal in the lobby downstairs was cheerful and enjoyable, while Zongzheng Mingzhen in the private room upstairs almost fainted from anger.Looking at Li Yu, who didn't know whether he was against him on purpose or really unintentionally, he whispered angrily, "Pour safflower juice into braised fish, what did you think at that time? Braised fish , How much juice can there be, and how much can be poured in? The most important thing is that she doesn't like fish, and she still has morning sickness. Tell me, to be honest, have you written a letter back to Beijing?"

Thinking of his mother's pervasive eyes and ears, Zongzheng Mingzhen almost died of depression.His father died early, his sister entered the harem, and his mother just stared at him when she had nothing to do all day long.

His eyes dodged and he didn't dare to tell the truth, Li Yu replied timidly and timidly: "I didn't dare, I didn't think so much at the time, I poured a lot of soy sauce for braised fish, I thought the color was about the same , is not easy to detect. So, so..."

Even though he really didn't want to do this, he didn't dare to do what he wanted, so he really couldn't be blamed.In fact, only the braised fish is easy to put, it is not conspicuous, and other dishes are not suitable.As soon as it was poured, the color changed immediately, not to mention serving it to Mei Xin, I guess the waiter in the shop would have noticed something was wrong when serving the food.

He was angry, but after thinking about it carefully, Li Yu still didn't dare to disobey his order.So, I thought for a while and said, "Forget it, if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, just wait and see."

After making up his mind, he must succeed today, or he will leave the day after tomorrow, and it is even more hopeless to leave this matter to Yan Jingchen.

Li Yu originally thought that he would be scolded, but he thought of it and let it go.With a gloomy and troubled expression on his face, he had the courage to bite the bullet and said, "Young Master, otherwise, forget it, you see, this is not God's will."
