In the bright room of the east wing, a lamp is like a bean.
Yuzhi sat there quietly alone, thinking about her thoughts.
The sounds of talking in the main room outside, the sound of "stinging" when the vegetables in the stove are cooking, the barking of dogs from the east neighbor, and the "wow" of the evening wind blowing through the treetops all make a sound, which is more and more obvious. The silence in the house.
Yuzhi sat there blankly, her mind was full of Ah Qin.
Aqin is only six years old, with black and soft hair, big eyes and long eyelashes, two dimples on her white and tender cheeks when she smiles, she likes to nest in her arms when she sleeps, and even clicks her mouth when she sleeps
Her Ah Qin started studying in the study room outside when she was five years old. She is so small and soft, but she can already recite "Three Character Classics" and "Thousand Family Poems"
?Thinking about it, Yuzhi felt more and more chilly. She folded her arms around her chest and shrank back into the chair. Princess Zhang's fair little round face appeared in her mind.
Concubine Zhang is in her twenties, but she still looks like a little fairy, with a small and exquisite figure, thick black hair, a small round snow-white face, willow-leaf eyebrows, big eyes like crescent moons when she smiles, cute and sweet.
But Yuzhi has always known that in front of Lin Xin, Prince Yong, Princess Zhang will always be an innocent, lovely and sweet little fairy; but in front of her, Princess Zhang's smile is poisonous, and her words are full of thorns.
Yuzhi knew that she was poisoned to death by Princess Zhang.
Zhang Duan, the brother of Concubine Zhang, served as the governor of the Southwest, and the Miaodi, which was rich in strange poisons, was Zhang Duan's ruling land.
Ten years have passed, and Princess Zhang is now in her thirties. I don't know if she is still in harmony with Prince Yong Qinse.
Yuzhi sneered silently in the dim light.
Lin Xin and Zhang Lin, one is selfish and the other is vicious, they are really made for each other, I hope they will never be separated forever!
The girl's crisp laughter came from the main room outside, it should be Chen Jiaoniang's voice.
Yuzhi's thoughts turned to her Aqin again.
Ah Qin is sixteen years old this year, how tall is he? It shouldn't change much in appearance, right?
She is tall and slender, and a boy looks like a mother. Ah Qin should also be tall and slender!
Thinking of the tall and slender Lin Qin with a small white and tender face, big and dark eyes, and lips like rose petals, Yuzhi couldn't help but smile.
Anyway, I still have to find a way to earn money to go to the capital!
Wang and Dong's sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law cooked the meal, sent it to the main room in the Mingjian on a tray, and placed it on a square table. Then the in-laws, sister-in-law Chen Jiaoniang, Dalang Chen Yaozu and Sanlang Chen Yaowen were invited to the table.
There are two dishes tonight, one is boiled Chinese cabbage and radish vermicelli with sliced ??meat, and the other is minced garlic and spinach.
There is a bamboo dustpan next to it, with four cornmeal steamed buns inside, and a white flour steamed bun on top.
The head of the family, Chen Fugui, sat at the head seat, watching with satisfaction that the big man Chen Yaozu picked up the jug and poured him a glass of wine.
Gao first picked up the only white flour steamed bun and broke it open, handed half of it to Chen Fugui, and held the other half in his hand. Then he took the chopsticks and turned over the white porcelain bowl containing sliced ??meat boiled with Chinese cabbage and radish vermicelli. Put the three slices of meat on the half-drawn steamed bun and handed it to Chen Jiaoniang, and said softly: "Jiaoniang, you are too skinny, you need to eat some meat!"
Chen Jiaoniang took the white flour steamed buns with her mouth pouted: "Mother, there is too little meat. The eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law are too stingy. They know that I love meat, so they only order so much meat every time they stir-fry!"
Mrs. Dong stood aside and gave her sister-in-law Wang a wink.
Wang frowned.
Gao continued to rummage through the dishes with his chopsticks, picked up two more pieces of meat and put them in Chen Fugui's bowl, then found two more pieces of meat and put them in his own bowl.
She was too lazy to continue searching, so she said: "Dalang, Sanlang, you two should find the two pieces of meat yourself, you can't be a person in your 20s or 30s, and I have to take care of you as a mother!"
Chen Yaozu and Chen Yaowen muffledly agreed. Seeing that their parents and sisters had started to eat, they also picked up chopsticks and cornmeal steamed buns and started eating.
Seeing that the five people sitting around the square table started to eat, Mrs. Wang gave Mrs. Dong a wink, and the two went out together.
When we arrived at the stove house, Mrs. Dong stood at the door to keep watch.
Mrs. Wang took out two bowls of vegetables from the empty noodle jar behind the stove, put two steamed buns of corn seedlings on each, then looked at Mrs. Dong with a smile, and said in a low voice, "After returning to the house, ask the child to give the meat to Mrs. Dong first." Eat it, lest mother-in-law suddenly go in and check!"
Dong covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister-in-law, I know!"
Yuzhi was thinking about it when she suddenly smelled the aroma of cooking.?Looking up, seeing Mrs. Wang coming in with food on a tray, she hesitated for a moment, and softly called: "Mother¡ª"
Mrs. Wang agreed briskly, and while putting the tray on the table, said: "Yuzhi, go outside and wash your hands, there is soap on the basin stand!"
The soap for washing hands is made of cotton oil, and there is a strange smell after washing hands.
After Yuzhi washed her hands, she couldn't help but put it on her nose and smell it. Although the smell was a bit strange, it wasn't unpleasant.
In fact, in her previous life, her family used soap made of cotton oil to wash and wash hands. After entering Prince Yong's Mansion, she began to wash her hands and face with various fragrant soaps, and her clothes were washed with fragrant soaps by a special person. Incense with a smoker
Thinking about it now, it really seems like a lifetime away¡ªno, it¡¯s really a lifetime away.
After washing her hands, Yuzhi slowly walked back to the East Wing.
Mrs. Wang had already filled the corn porridge. Seeing Yuzhi coming in, she hurriedly handed the chopsticks and cornmeal steamed buns to Yuzhi: "Eat quickly, my son, I'm afraid you will be very hungry today!"
Yuzhi took a slice of radish and put it in her mouth.
The radish melts in the mouth, with some meaty aroma, it is not unpalatable.
She hasn't eaten such rough food for many years.
Yuzhi was about to pick up some Chinese cabbage leaves to taste again, but Mrs. Wang handed her a small plate with a few slices of oily pork belly on it.
Seeing Yuzhi in a daze, Wang smiled softly: "My son, this is hidden by mother for you, eat it quickly, if your grandmother finds out, none of us will be able to sleep tonight!"
Yuzhi obediently put a piece of pork belly into her mouth.
The pork belly was sliced ??a little thickly, and it was fried before cooking. It was a little old, but it was still very fragrant.
The reason why Yuzhi was favored in Prince Yong's Mansion was not only her beauty, but also her good cooking skills.
One of the important reasons why she was able to climb up step by step from the ordinary maid in the small kitchen of the palace was the good cooking skills she learned from the old cook.
Yuzhi finished eating the piece of meat, then looked at Wang, and said in a low voice: "Mother, when frying pork belly, you should boil water with star anise first, then put the pork belly in and cook until it is half-cooked, then take it out and slice it. The thinner the better; in addition, cooking wine should be added in the middle, and a little sugar should be added when cooking, the taste will be more delicious.¡±
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang laughed: "My son, there is no such thing as being so particular about big pot dishes. When the family is separated in the future, mother will make small fried pork belly as you said!"
While she was talking, she handed Yuzhi a bowl of hot polenta.
Yuzhi put down the bowl, picked a piece of meat for Mrs. Wang, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, grandma probably won't agree to split the family?"
Chen Fugui and Gao's couple are only fifty years old, and they are still so strong, but they insist on staying at home and letting their son support them. Such parents will let their son go out?
"They won't agree," Wang said with a sneer, "but if we don't separate, sooner or later they will eat the meat, dismantle the bones and suck the marrow!"
She put down her chopsticks, and said bitterly: "Isn't Mrs. Gao making a fuss about selling you to prepare a dowry for Chen Jiaoniang?"
Yuzhi's eyes were shining brightly: "Since that's the case, mother, let's think of a way so that grandpa and grandma have to agree to separate the family!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
