The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 285 Delicious Food and Warm Life
The three sisters-in-law got out of the sedan chair, and Xiao Gao came up, holding Xiuyan's hand with a smile and walking towards the door together.

Jiang shi made a half-step backward, seeing the affectionate two people were bored, shook off the brocade handkerchief in his hand, and took a small path to Mrs. Song to answer.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Song had just taken the medicine and fell asleep, and Mrs. Jiang wanted to sue but lacked a judge, so she had to go back to her yard in disappointment.

Xiao Gao must take Xiuyan to her place for dinner: "I saw a dish of Diaochan tofu on the table, which looked good, but unfortunately it was not easy to eat raw. I ordered the big kitchen to make a single dish for the two of us. My brother and sister also Go to my yard, let's sit together and have a good talk. Your second brother got a few jars of good Huiquan wine from others a few days ago, so it's okay for us to have a few cups."

Xiuyan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law's kindness will be received in another day, I'm a bit windy by the water today, I want to go back and drink ginger soup to sweat, so as not to wake up tomorrow morning, my mother-in-law will laugh at me for not knowing the rules."

Xiao Gao felt uncomfortable when she was declined, but she didn't want to force others to make things difficult for her, so she could only agree.After going back, I finally complained to my husband at home.The second master of the Song family heard about this and hurriedly said: "You have forgotten what I said, you should have ordered the servant girl to go to the kitchen and bring the ginger soup."

Xiao Gao laughed angrily: "I'm too unreserved to be a sister-in-law, right? My brother and sister said they had a headache, so I just posted it so that my sister-in-law saw it, and she must be a joke!"

The second master of the Song family carefully put aside the waxed bergamot he was playing with in his hand, and complained: "No wonder my mother often said in front of the mother that you will not please and behave, and you are not half as good as the third sibling. This kind of ginger soup It's just a matter of little effort, if you want to give an order, do you still force you to do it yourself? The things are small, so it's hard to be so kind, even if the third brother and sister don't eat it, the third brother sees it, and feels that your second sister-in-law is considerate in every way People, I can think of you even if there are good things in the future."

The second master of the Song family beckoned and called Xiao Gao's eldest maid: "Go to the big kitchen and tell me to stew three bowls of ginger soup, one for the eldest young lady and one for the third young lady."

The eldest maid went away with a smile on her face, and came back shortly after to reply, her words were full of surprise: "Second master, grandma, when I went to the kitchen, I ran into Meilian who was in the third young lady's room, and she also ordered the kitchen to do things alone. What I wanted was The Diaochan tofu that Second Young Mistress ordered just now! Meilian saw me go and explained with a smile, saying that she asked the kitchen to make it to honor Second Mistress."

The second master of the Song family looked at his wife: "Look at how people behave."

Xiao Gao's face was tense, unwilling to admit it, and forced his face to say: "They are all using the money from the public for favors. I just don't bother to do such cheap things."

After hearing this, the big servant girl hesitated to speak several times.The second master of the Song family said: "Just say what you have, and cover it up."

"When the maid went, she saw Meilian took two strings of money to Mama Ou in the kitchen, and Mama Ou kept talking about a few dishes and how the money was spent."

Xiao Gao's face turned blue and red, the corners of the Song family's second master turned up, got up and went to the outer courtyard.

Xiuyan just entered the house, and the people in the room prepared hot almond tea for her to warm up.The courtyard of the third room is the largest in the entire mansion, the other two rooms are either magnificently built, or novel and elegant. The only reason is that Song Chen practiced martial arts, the yard in the front yard is a serious martial arts training ground.

Because Xiuyan entered the door, Song Chen had already ordered people to make drastic changes, but he still carried a lot of masculinity.Xiuyan thought that she wouldn't live there for long, and Mrs. Song didn't like it if she moved too much, so she just tidied up a small hut with an inner room by herself.

A large welcome pillow made of foreign brocade satin, with a golden velvet mattress underneath, and a pot of narcissus placed in the corner, the room is warm and sweet.Eating a bowl of hot almond tea is a pleasant thing that is never seen in early winter.

Even Song Chen fell in love with this place, and always stayed here whenever he was at home.

Meilian came back from the outside, stomped the residual snow on her feet, took the hand stove that Cuimei handed over and said with a smile: "Just now in the big kitchen, I saw Fei'er, the maid of Second Young Mistress, who said she was going to give ginger soup to our family. Let me represent it." Grandma thanked her."

Xiuyan personally poured a bowl of almond tea for her to drive her away from the cold: "I don't have much contact with the two sisters-in-law, but the second sister-in-law took the initiative to give me ginger soup. This is a bit surprising. It's probably because of the second brother! I heard that The eldest brother was raised by the deceased old lady since he was a child, and our third young master practiced martial arts since he was a child. Only the second brother was brought out by his mother-in-law, so he is very fond of him. Among the three daughter-in-laws, the mother-in-law prefers the second sister-in-law. It's clear. However, I never think about my mother-in-law's private house, so I don't have any jealousy, but my sister-in-law always looks hot and always wants to drag me into the water."

Although the relationship between Song Lian and his wife in the early years was not harmonious, they were decent, and Mrs. Song never worried about money.Gold and silver jewelry is second, and the property under his name is increasing every year.These things should be divided equally among the three sons, but since Mrs. Gao came in, Mrs. Jiang discovered that her mother-in-law always supplemented the second room in private.

The second master of the Song family has no other hobbies, but likes playing with rocks.Qingtian's Fengmendong, Changhua's Chicken Blood Stone, and Shoushan's Tianhuangshi Erfang spent countless money on them in a year.

It's fine if the amount is small, but after Jiang took over the accounts, she found that the second uncle not only transferred money from her mother-in-law, but also spent a lot of money from her father-in-law.Mrs. Jiang only complained a few words in front of Mrs. Song, but she was scolded by Mrs. Song so shamelessly.

Xiuyan doesn't covet Mrs. Song's things, but she doesn't want others to get her involved in right and wrong.

Song Chen sent a letter home earlier, saying that he had dinner outside.But as soon as he entered Baoxia, he saw his wife sitting on the edge of the Kang, chewing with relish the pancakes wrapped in duck meat.

"Yo, this taste is really delicious!" Song Chen washed his hands, took the lotus leaf cake from Xiuyan, and stuffed it into his mouth.The duck meat is ruddy in color, tender in texture, mellow in taste, and the most important thing is that it is fat but not greasy.

Xiuyan had already eaten half full, and saw that Song Chen liked it, so she made a bag for him: "Yesterday, my mother-in-law asked someone to buy the roast duck from Liuhefang. I don't have the nerve to eat more from my elders. I thought again, I'm coming back." At that time, I asked the boy to abduct them to Liuhefang, and brought back two more."

Song Chen ate another bowl of fish maw pork rib soup, and then put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I used to eat these, but they were tasteless. Now that I have you by my side, even home-cooked dishes are better than delicacies from mountains and seas."

Xiuyan smiled and scolded: "You are ashamed to say this is a home-cooked dish!" She pointed to the fish maw pork rib soup in it: "Just this bowl is enough for an ordinary family's rations for four or five days."

Fish maw is a rare and fine material, and what Song Chen eats now is all brought by Xiuyan from her natal family.Fish maw is actually fish maw. It is not easy for fishermen in the East China Sea to catch it. Moreover, this kind of fish maw needs to be dried from the swim bladder of large fish.

The top quality fish maw is priced like gold.

Today Xiuyan ordered people to make white flower gum, which is only a little worse than money cod fish gum, but it is already a rare and good product.It is modest to say that a bowl of rations is enough for four or five days, but in fact it is much more than that.

Song Chen only felt fresh and moist and soft, and had no other feelings. He hurriedly put down the bowl: "It's ruined for me to eat, these good things are nourishing only after you use them." Song Chen touched Xiuyan's belly with a smile : "We also strive to give birth to a cute big baby like Fu Geer as soon as possible."

Speaking of Brother Fu, Xiuyan hurriedly told Song Chen what happened today.

"Although I am annoyed at King Beijing's behavior, that child is very cute. When I hugged her, tears were still hanging on my eyelashes. If she was really thrown to the ground by Princess Fu's people today, it would be a crime!"

Song Chen was silent for a moment: "I have revealed to the emperor the news that the King of Beijing is collaborating with the Japanese, but His Majesty obviously doesn't believe it."

The four kings and eight princes are gradually declining, but the Beijing Palace is still favored, which cannot but explain the problem.

Xiuyan also persuaded: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. As long as the King of Beijing doesn't mess around, why do we have to beat him up again? Besides, Princess Beijing treats me well. Today's incident probably touches my heart. She was tearful when she looked at me, so pitiful."

Song Chen held Xiuyan tightly in his arms, and sighed briefly: "You are just too kind, no one wants to think of evil. Let's talk about today's matter, how can there be no one around the prince of Beijing?" Someone to take care of it? How could it be possible for Prince Fu to take away a brat as soon as he said he would take it away. It’s probably because you broke Princess Fu’s good deed!"

Xiuyan lifted up the broken hair on her forehead, showing her smooth forehead for Song Chen to look at: "Look at this scar, it's the good deeds done by Prince Fu back then."

It is said that a full heaven is a sign of good fortune, and Xiuyan's forehead is not only full, but also bright and moist, which is a sign of longevity.There is a shallow fine line on the top, which is hard to find unless you look carefully.Different from the surrounding whiteness, it is like a light rose red.

Song Chen felt very distressed, kissed his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Wait for me to avenge you."

Xiuyan was sweet in her heart, and put her arms around Song Chen: "I don't know as much as a child! However, if Princess Fu troubles me, I will not be lenient."

Joy and laughter came from Baosha from time to time, and there was no way this young couple had so much to say.

Let's say that Princess Fu returned to the palace with resentment. King Fu was teasing with the girl who stayed at home with Princess Fu. Seeing his wife rushing in angrily, she was so frightened that she quickly let go of the girl's hand and said with a salivating face, "Why do you look unhappy? Is it someone who made you angry? This king will ask him to argue."

Concubine Fu looked at King Fu angrily: "My lord always says such pleasant words to coax me, but when will he really stand out? It's not that the old father who is a concubine has given up his face and put on a show!"

King Fu smiled embarrassingly: "Father-in-law has a lot of face, so naturally he is not comparable to this king."

"But you are the prince!" Concubine Fu glared: "Now our palace is about to be bullied to death, and the prince still has the leisure to sit here and drink tea!"

Fu Wang hurriedly suppressed his smile and asked why.

"The concubine is a good matchmaker for the king of Beijing Jing, and wants to marry Jiuniang to be a side concubine, but their family doesn't appreciate it at all."

Seeing that he was angry because of this, King Fu laughed and said, "What's the big deal with this king, since people don't want it, don't we, Jiuniang, still need a good marriage?"

Concubine Fu looked at her husband with hatred, because he always behaved like this, and everyone who caused troubles no longer took Fu Wang's mansion seriously. After a long time, who would run around for Fu Wang's enthronement? ?
