Do you know that it starts with Meng Tong?

Mother Fang smiled and echoed: "I'm not boasting, Miss Six is ​​really considerate and filial. She would hit her back when the old lady coughed, and she would hand over the tea bowl when the old lady frowned. I have served the old lady for half my life, and I am not like Miss Six." It’s so careful and appropriate!”

The three of them struck and struck, creating a warm scene of deep love and joy between ancestors and grandchildren. However, Sheng Hong and Mo Lan were left out in the cold, as if they had become outsiders.

Sheng Hong could still laugh twice to relieve the embarrassment. Mo Lan was young, but he couldn't swallow this breath, and his teeth were itching with anger.

She had been serving the old lady for two or three months, but she never heard a word of praise from the old lady.Minglan had only been here a few days, and the old lady was already so favorable to her.

The gap between people is really too big!

Sheng Hong smiled and followed the old lady's words and said: "Mother, it is a good thing to be filial, but after all, she is young and ignorant, and she does not know the depth of things.

Just like this decoction, in order to remove the bitter taste, it is very inappropriate to add apricot nectar to it.If honey and medicinal properties conflict with each other, wouldn't it mean that good intentions lead to bad things? "

"Father is too worried."

Minglan smiled sweetly and looked at Sheng Hong: "My cousin told me that when he was sick, my aunt and uncle fed him medicine like this. My cousin was cured within two months."

Sheng Hong frowned when Minglan spoke up, and reprimanded: "Everyone has his or her own physique, how can we generalize it! You are young, it is right to speak less and listen more, your little mother has never taught you ?”

Seeing Minglan bowing her head in aggrieved silence, her eyes slightly red, the old lady slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "My old lady likes to drink sweet drinks. Whether the doctor is right or not, I will drink it. As long as I serve it tomorrow." Even if you drink it and poison me to death, I will admit it!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point. Sheng Hong did not expect that the old lady would lose such a temper because of Minglan.

The ground fell silent.

At this time, Fang's mother came out to smooth things over and said, "Don't worry, sir. The sixth lady has thought carefully and asked Miss Xiaodie to ask the doctor early. The doctor said it was nothing, so the sixth girl added apricot nectar to the soup."

"Since the doctor said there's nothing wrong, it's naturally the best thing to do, but I'm worrying too much."

Sheng Hong was speechless and could only laugh twice, but he came with a mission and would not give up easily.

Sheng Hong waved his hand and motioned to Fang's mother to take Mo Lan and Ming Lan out to play. After the two daughters left, Sheng Hong raised his eyes and looked at the old lady again, trying to make a sincere expression.

"My son is just afraid that tomorrow's child will be young and ignorant, and he will be tired of mother and you, so why not let Mo'er come. Mo'er is sensible and well-behaved, and speaks and does things properly. He has served in Shou'an Hall for several months before, and he is also very good at serving you. Okay?"

"is very good."

The old lady took a deep look at Sheng Hong and said quietly: "Her mother is an old man who has been with me for many years. She has been influenced by everything and knows a lot about my hobbies and habits, and she knows how to pretend to be pitiful and clever to please me. However, I have experienced so many things over the years, and my temperament has changed a lot, but now I don’t like her mother-in-law’s style anymore.”

What happened to the old lady these years?

Naturally, it was the secret affair between Lin Sushuang and Sheng Hong when she was raised in the old lady's room!

Sheng Hong heard what the old lady was referring to and suddenly felt embarrassed.In any case, he was at fault for this matter in the first place, and it is understandable that the old lady is angry.

After the old lady had said this, Sheng Hong was too embarrassed to speak up for Mo Lan anymore. After staying in Shou'an Hall for a short time, he left with Mo Lan in a gray tone.

After sending the two of them off, the old lady asked Fang's mother to call Minglan in, and asked with a smile: "Why, your cousin Chen also likes to eat apricot nectar. Do you want to give it to him when he goes to school later?" Bring him a can?"

Minglan didn't seem to understand what the old lady meant and blinked her big eyes innocently.

"Grandma, what my cousin likes to eat is up to the people around him to worry about. What kind of food do you want me to send?"

After finishing speaking, he paused and added: "But if grandma wants to give it away, she must have considered it. My granddaughter will just obey."

The old lady saw Minglan pretending to be calm and glanced at her slightly red earlobes. She couldn't help but feel funny in her heart, but she didn't try to expose her. She just said calmly:

"I also heard Mr. Zhuang say something about the school. Your cousin doesn't get paid as a leading student, but he does no less work than a serious gentleman. Speaking of which, this matter is due to our Sheng family's lack of consideration. We should thank you properly. People are the ones.”

"Grandma means..."

"Since we want to thank you, this gift of thanks must be sent to someone's heart. Your cousin must not look down on gold, silver and other common things..."

The old lady tapped Minglan's forehead lightly with her finger: "Don't you always talk about your cousin? Then go and ask me. If your cousin has any preferences, come back and tell me."

"No need to ask, my granddaughter can tell grandma now." Minglan said confidently: "My cousin has nothing to do these days. He just likes to play Go with his second and third brothers. Why don't we give him a chessboard? Bar!"

"Chessboard? That's a good idea."

The old lady pondered for a moment and whispered instructions to Fang's mother, who followed her instructions and left the house.

After a while, he turned back again, followed by two maids, one holding a torrewood chessboard, and the other holding two bowls of clouds.

The old lady stretched out her hand and rubbed it gently on the chessboard for a moment. Feeling the familiar warm touch on the surface of the chessboard, she couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness recalling the past on her face.

"This chessboard is a tribute from other countries. It was given to your great-grandfather by the emperor back then. It can be considered as a thank you gift for your cousin."

When Minglan heard her grandmother talk about the preciousness of this chessboard, she couldn't help but secretly marveled: her grandmother actually gave it away as soon as she said it would be such a good thing.

Then I thought again: These days, my cousin is almost drying up on urging me to practice calligraphy. Should I also prepare some thoughts?

Chapter 124 Sea bass soup with water shield

After breakfast, Minglan and Fang's mother left Shou'an Hall and came to the school early.

It was still early, Qi Heng and all the children of the Sheng family hadn't arrived yet, and Wei Chen was the only one sitting alone in the hall preparing lessons for Zhuang Jun.

Fang's mother came forward to find Wei Chen and took the torreya chessboard from the maid's hand, saying it was a thank-you gift for Wei Chen for teaching the children of the Sheng family.

Although Wei Chen didn't know much about the goods, he could tell just from the texture of the chessboard and the faint scent of wood that this thing was very precious, so he naturally had to refuse it.

Fang’s mother insisted on giving it, but Wei Chen insisted on not giving it, and both sides pushed back and forth.

In the end, Minglan couldn't stand it and asked Fang's mother to stuff the things directly into Wei Chen's arms before giving up.

After Fang's mother completed her task, she said hello to Wei Chen and went back to Shou'an Hall.

Although Wei Chen declined very hard just now, he was really happy after getting the things. He got a good thing and was about to appreciate it carefully, but Ming Lan reached out to stop him.

Wei Chen wondered: "What?"

Minglan asked dryly: "Have you had breakfast?"

"Forehead……"

Wei Chen caught a glimpse of Xiao Tao holding a food box behind Ming Lan and asked in a tentative tone: "So should I say I ate it or didn't eat it?"

"Don't you know whether you've eaten or not?"

Minglan rolled her eyes at Wei Chen angrily, stopped talking to him, asked Xiao Tao to open the food box, and took out an open white porcelain bowl with her fat, short hands.

"Is this also a thank you gift from your grandmother?"

Wei Chen smelled the aroma wafting out and looked curious: "What delicious food is this?"

"Water shield and seabass soup."

"It's true, it doesn't look like it. I heard that water shield and seabass soup is also a famous Jiangnan dish. Why does it look like this?"

Wei Chen lowered his head and glanced at the soup in the bowl, and couldn't help curling his lips. It smelled okay, but the appearance was terrible, and I don't know which cook in Shou'antang made it. Bad review!

Seeing the disgust in Wei Chen's eyes, Minglan suddenly became furious. She put the bowl on Wei Chen's table with force, gritted her teeth and said, "Are you going to eat it or not?"

"Eat, eat, eat. Why don't you eat something delicious?" Seeing that the little girl was really getting angry, Wei Chen quickly sat down with a smile, took the peach, brought it up with a wooden spoon, and scooped a spoonful into his mouth. inside.

"Hmm~"

Wei Chen's eyes lit up. Although this bowl of water shield and seabass soup, made by someone unknown, didn't look very good, and even a little daunting, when you taste it, it is really delicious.

The fresh sea bass is extremely tender and has a fragrant aroma in the mouth. The equally fresh water shield is also crispy and refreshing.

The two together create an incomparable taste, which feels like... the taste of love?

No no no.

Wei Chen raised his head and glanced at the little girl in front of him who had not grown yet. He felt guilty inexplicably and quickly shook his head to dispel the random thoughts in his mind.

"What does it taste like? Is it delicious?"

Minglan held Wei Chen's desk with her hands and tried to look forward. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing her inner nervousness.

"Um... let me taste it again."

Wei Chen scooped another spoonful of soup, slurped it carefully for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "When the rain comes, the water shield will slip on the boat, and in the spring, the bass will fall into the fishing fat. This water shield

The seabass soup still needs to be cooked with water shield from West Lake, seabass from West Lake and water from West Lake, and then you can enjoy the delicious food while admiring the scenery of the West Lake. This is the most authentic! "

Wei Chen shook his head and was minding his own business, completely unaware of Minglan's increasingly darker complexion.

Minglan clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and tried to convince herself not to beat the bastard in front of her to death. Then she stretched out her chubby hand to snatch the bowl in front of Wei Chen.

Only then did Wei Chen come back to his senses. Although he was still confused, he still subconsciously hugged the porcelain bowl as if to protect his food: "What are you doing?"

Minglan looked bitter and resentful: "Didn't you say it's not authentic? Don't eat it!"

This little girl is really so angry even after entering Shou'an Hall...

When Wei Chen saw Ming Lan's angry look, he felt like he was laughing or crying. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and a trace of understanding flashed across his face.

"Cousin, you didn't make this bowl of water shield and seabass soup yourself, did you?"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Minglan denied, but her erratic eyes still allowed Wei Chen to see through the truth at a glance.

"Tell me! Did you fail to finish the book you were punished for copying yesterday, so you came up with this method to bribe me?"

Wei Chen raised his hand and flicked the small bag tied on Minglan's head, and asked in a deep voice.

Minglan seemed to be irritated, she raised her eyes and stared back without showing any weakness.

Hair is a restricted area for girls. Boys will never know how long it takes a girl to tie up an ordinary-looking hairstyle after getting up in the morning!

Wei Chen saw that Minglan looked wrong, took back his hand angrily, and coughed lightly.

Just when Wei Chen was about to say something to ease the embarrassment, he suddenly heard an excited voice coming from outside.

"Little sir, Sixth Sister, why are you here so early? What fun things were you talking about just now? Do you want me to hear it too?"

Sheng Changfeng, who had just stepped into the school, threw his book bag to the book boy, walked to Wei Chen's desk in a few steps, looked at Wei Chen, and then at Ming Lan, with curiosity on his face.

Seeing the softened expression on Minglan's face, Wei Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Sheng Changfeng without any pretense: "How did you do with yesterday's homework? Can you show it to me?"

"what?"

Sheng Changfeng hasn't figured out the situation yet.

Wei Chen spread his hands: "Take out the homework that Mr. gave you yesterday."

"Oh."

Sheng Changfeng had a bitter look on his face, ran back in a gray manner, and rummaged through his book bag.

It was almost time for morning classes to start. After Sheng Changfeng, the other students also arrived one after another.

Minglan gave Wei Chen a sharp look, then turned around and returned to her seat without paying attention to the bowl of water shield and seabass soup on the table.

Wei Chen immediately moved his spoon like flying, finished the fish in the bowl, drank another big mouthful of thick fish soup, and let out a long sigh of satisfaction, then called Yuan An and asked him to put away the bowl and take it away. Go down.
