Rebirth of the famous family

Chapter 248
Jinse saw that her younger brother had grown up and looked a bit like a handsome young man, but he still looked like a child when he spoke, so he immediately laughed, and hurriedly ordered Bai Zhi to set the meal, and at the same time patted Wen Qing's shoulders and hair off falling snowflakes.

The two entered the flower hall together. The table in the flower hall was already filled with celadon plum bowls of porridge with various seven treasures and five flavors. Appetite whetted.

Put more red dates, lotus seeds, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds, pine nuts, longan, hazelnuts, peanuts, red beans, water chestnuts, ginkgo and other things in Qibao five-flavor porridge. The taste of porridge is also different due to different materials. In addition, the rice used to make porridge with seven treasures and five flavors is also different in different mansions, so the taste is also different.

Bai Zhi filled a small bowl of porridge from each mansion for Wenqing and Jinse, and Jinse recognized the porridge from Liao's family at a glance, and saw that Wenqing and she both served the soup with a reddish color A bowl, the two immediately looked at each other and smiled.

Grandmother said Qibao five-flavor porridge is a lively meal, so every year Liao Mansion likes to put red dates, goji berries, peanuts, red beans and other red-skinned fruits in the Qibao five-flavor porridge. This is still the case over the past few years.

Stir the thick porridge with a white porcelain spoon, and you will have a familiar taste in your mouth. It is sweet, soft and waxy, warm, and the warm heart overflows with bubbles of happiness.

At this moment in Liao's mansion, the old matriarch is also eating a bowl of porridge with seven treasures and five flavors.She used up half a bowl before she put down the spoon and said with a smile: "This girl Wei Wei still likes sweets, this porridge is so sweet and greasy."

Nanny You took the bowl from Old Madam Liao, and said with a smile, "Old Madam Liao Ya still ate half of the bowl? After all, she loves Miss Biao the most."

The old lady laughed when she heard the words, pressed her lips with a handkerchief, then looked at the porridge with seven treasures and five flavors and sighed, "Wei Wei's taste followed her unlucky mother's. This porridge is similar to that made by girl Hua They are exactly the same, even the fruit lion is carved in the same way."

The seven-treasure and five-flavor porridge made by rich families all carve various fruits into animals, and the patterns are boiled in the pot.After the porridge is served, fruit lions are placed on it to add color. The fruit lions are made of crispy dates that have been peeled off and dried. The body is made of half a walnut kernel, the lion's feet are made of peach kernels, and the lion's feet are made of sweet almonds. Lion's tail, glued together with sugar.When Liao Hua was not out of the cabinet, every year in Laba, she loved to play with the fruit lions herself. The fruit lions she made were vivid, exquisite, small, cute and tight...

Mrs. Liao thought about this, and wished she could bring the Jinse siblings into the mansion right away, she sighed and then asked Aunt You, "Can you send a copy of the porridge sent by Weiwei to Qiu Feiyuan?"

You Nanny smiled and said: "Give it away, it was picked up by Zijuan next to Da Furen, I'm afraid Da Furen will use it now."

Mrs. Liao nodded and smiled, then remembered another matter, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, and a worried expression changed instantly.

Four days ago, the imperial court received an official document from the prefect of Guzhou, saying that Mianling County was invaded by exile bandits, who only plundered the rich. He was attacked, but fortunately Master Li Conglu, who was stationed at the border, arrived in time with his troops, which saved the safety of the county government and quelled the banditry.The fourth master of the Liao family, Liao Zhizhe, is currently serving as the magistrate of Mianling County. Apart from Liao Shuxiang, the fourth wife, Mrs. Wang, and the fourth young master, Liao Shujian, are also serving as the fourth master.

How could Mrs. Liao not be worried about her youngest son's family when the gangsters besieged the county government office? Mrs. Liao has been sick for the past few days, unable to eat or sleep well.The old man and the old man were very worried, and the whole house seemed to be covered with a cloud, and the servants were also cautious in their actions these days.

Because it is Laba today, Mrs. Liao is now a little happier. Seeing her worried face now, Madam You knew she was thinking of the fourth master again, and hurriedly persuaded: "The old master is right, since the prefect of Guzhou There are no official casualties written in the memorial, so the fourth master’s family must be safe and sound. Don’t worry, old matriarch, the old slave reckons that the fourth master’s letter to keep you safe will arrive in Beijing in a few days.”

Mrs. Liao sighed, and said: "Mianling was originally a place of bitter cold, but now it is plagued by bandits. I don't know if Si'er's family can eat a bowl of hot porridge with seven treasures and five flavors..."

She was worried about this, when Liao Zhengqi's laughter came from outside, following the laughter, he quickly entered the room, raised the letter in his hand and said to his old wife: "It's the letter from the fourth child, I will tell you Believe it or not, the fourth child's family will be fine, you should feel relieved now."

As he spoke, he sat down on the grand teacher's chair, and handed the letter to Mrs. Liao. Mrs. Liao smiled when she heard that it was the letter of safety from the fourth child, but after reading the letter, her face paled slightly, and she was afraid for a while. , repeatedly said: "Fortunately, General Li went in time, otherwise, wouldn't my poor fourth grandson be in danger? This is really God's blessing. I just didn't expect that Wei Wei had married Princess Pingle in Jiangzhou that day. The good fate has actually benefited Si'er's family now. Back then, the eldest son died because of these two children, but now the fourth son's family survived because of this child. Cut it all the time!"

Master Liao Si wrote in a letter saying that the thieves had invaded the county government that day and wanted to capture him alive, and that his eldest son, Liao Shujian, had fallen into the hands of the thieves. If General Li Conglu hadn't arrived in time to save the two, I'm afraid that both the fourth master and the fourth young master would become dead souls under the knife of the thieves.

Li Conglu is guarding the border. It is reasonable to say that there is a banditry in Mianling. He has not received an order from the court, so he must not go there privately to quell the chaos. The Liao family and the Li family have never had a close relationship. It would be wrong to be selfish.Therefore, when the memorial from the prefect of Guzhou was handed over that day, Liao Shangshu guessed that Li Conglu must have dispatched troops in the face of Jinse's rescue of Princess Pingle, and now reading the letter from the fourth master confirmed this point.

He also felt guilty when he heard Madam Liao's exclamation, and said: "We have treated Wei Wei and brother Mao badly in the past three years. Now that we have the letter from the fourth child, the matter of taking the children into the mansion is that the eldest wife is not happy." If you like it, you can only agree, you can't let these two children spend the new year alone outside, you can ask the eldest daughter-in-law to clean up the yard in the past two days, and take the two children into the mansion."
