Chapter 291: Imbalance
Chen Afu led Xia Yue and Qiu Yue to the kitchen to be busy, and only the ancestors of the Chu family and Chen Dabao were left in the house.
Old Marquis Chu had already guessed when he saw Chu Lingxuan's excited appearance, and when he saw that there were no outsiders, he asked in a low voice, "Is it ......?"
Chu Lingxuan nodded, sat down and whispered to him, "I can stand up." ”
When the old man heard this, his eyes turned red, and he muttered, "If you can stand up, you won't be far from being able to walk." It's been so many years, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it......"
"Hmm. Chu Lingxuan agreed, and said to Dabao at the other table who was looking at him blankly, "Grandpa and Daddy are happy today, Dabao is a little man, and he will accompany us to drink to help the fun." ”
Dabao was overjoyed to hear that he could drink like a man. first compared a scissorhands, and then reminded him, "Daddy, you snubbed your sister." My sister greeted you for so long, and you ignored her. ”
Chu Hanyan was pursed and looked at Chu Lingxuan with tears in her eyes. When he heard Dabao's words, he was even more aggrieved, and opened his mouth to cry.
Chu Lingxuan hurriedly got up and picked up his daughter, and said with a smile, "Daddy is happy today, and he only cares about talking to grandpa." snubbed his daughter, and his father apologized. ”
Chu Lingzhi was so anxious that he said loudly, "Dabao is a little man and can drink, what about me, master?"
The old marquis laughed and said, "Of course you are also a little man, and you can also drink." ”
But when Chu Lingxuan asked Chu Huai to go to the kitchen to get rice wine, Chu Lingzhi's mouth reached the root behind his ear. I got it for a long time, it's rice wine!
Chen Afu was busy in the kitchen, and she guessed that it might have something to do with the Nine Emperor Princes. Because the old monk asked for the green bird's nest in March, seven months have passed, and the condition of the Nine Emperor Princes should have progressed.
She was also happy. If the Nine Emperors' legs are healed, the Chu family will be able to plot a great cause, and there is no need to wait for Dabao to grow up, and Dabao will not rush to the front line.
She fried and cooked eight dishes. There were eight dishes before, a total of 16 dishes, which means "to be smooth".
Chen Afu took off his apron, put the last dish on the tray, and served it to the restaurant himself.
Dabao shouted, "Mother, my father said that I was a man, and he also let me drink." As he spoke, he lifted the half bowl of rice wine in his hand, and he was proud.
Chen Afu nodded with a smile, and said that this dish is called "Fortune Dangtou", in fact, the method is very similar to the lion's head, that is, she added more chili peppers in the juice poured at the end, and the color was more red, so she took this auspicious name. She was afraid that the two children would be spicy, so they could only eat the middle of the big balls. I thought, it would be nice if there was a red parch, and it could be colored, but it was not spicy.
Chu Lingxuan asked Chen Afu to drink rice wine to cheer up. In fact, Chen Afu really wanted to drink the kind of blue and white liquor they drank, and in his previous life, he was the amount of eight taels of liquor. But just thinking about it, it's not good for women to drink a lot in this era.
The old marquis and Chu Lingxuan drank this meal for nearly an hour, and drank all the jars of wine. Chu Lingxuan helped the rickety old man, and Mother Song led Chu Hanyan back to Tang Garden.
Walking under the bare willow tree, Chu Lingxuan stood down, turned around and waved his hand to Chen Afu and Dabao who were standing at the gate of Fuyuan, and under the urging of the old man, he turned around and walked towards Tangyuan.
Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan have been separated for many days, and they haven't seen him at the end of the winter month. Only occasionally would I receive a letter from him telling about the pain of lovesickness.
During this period, Chen Afu also received a letter from Chen Shilai, saying that Yang Mingyuan had personally gone to the Chen family in Dingzhou Mansion to propose marriage, Chen Shi agreed, and was scheduled to get married in August next year. At the same time, Yang Mingyuan also sent someone to write a letter to Chen Afu, saying that he had asked to marry her cousin Chen Aman.
Chen Afu was very happy and sent people to send letters to congratulate them.
Chen Shi wrote letters to Dafang and Chen Ming respectively, telling them the good news.
The Hu family is psychologically unbalanced again, not to mention the Hu family, even Chen Ye is sour. The daughters in the second and third rooms have all found good families, one is looking for a big official from a family, and the other is looking for a businessman with a lot of money, but Chen Aju of his family has not said anything about being a family yet.
If others look up to their family, they don't look down on others. What they like, others look down on them.
Chen Aju fell in love with Hu Laowu's son Hu Wei, and thought that he was good-looking, his family was rich and land, and he was now a small official in the county yahufang.
Chen Ye and Hu both felt that it was good to be close to each other and know the roots. If it was the original, they would not have the confidence to be in-laws with Hu Lao Wu, but now the situation is different, not to mention that they have money, Hu Lao Wu will also have a relationship with Chen Ming and Tang Yuan through them.
What they never expected was that Hu Lao Wu found an excuse to push ......
This day is the twenty-ninth day of the winter month, and Luyuan kills New Year's pigs. The reason why it was chosen today is because of Ah Lu and Dabao Xiumu.
Early in the morning, not only Dabao went to Luyuan to be the master, but even Chu Lingzhi and Old Man Chu, as well as the animal family, also went to Luyuan early to watch the excitement.
This is the first time that Chen Ming's family has killed a New Year's pig, and even Chen Ming is excited. Now he is very famous in the surrounding area, and many villagers have invited him to kill New Year's pigs, so his family has also invited many people, not only Xianggong Village, but also Shangshui Village and Gujing Village. Fortunately, his house is big enough to fit so many people.
Hu Lao Wu and several landlords and Li Zheng were all busy coming, not only did they want to make friends with Chen Ming, but they also knew that the old marquis and Steward Luo would definitely go to Luyuan for dinner today.
Although Chen Afu also wanted to go to Luyuan to join in the fun, Chu Hanyan was afraid that there would be too many people, so neither of them went over. asked Xia Yue to call Chen Daya and Wu Xiaoqing over there, plus Luo Mei, a few little girls were playing in the West Wing.
Chen Afu closed the doors and windows of the west chamber tightly. Because the backyard of Luyuan is too lively, the screams of pigs and the excited roars of men are afraid of scaring the little girl.
At noon, Qiuyue came from Luyuan with a food box, which contained a large pot of pig-killing vegetables. Aunt Zeng had already cooked rice and fried a few side dishes, and Chen Afu led a few children to eat together with the pig-killing dishes.
Qiu Yue smiled with Chen Afu, "The two pigs are more than two hundred catties, and the butcher said that it is the fattest pig in this area." ”
Chu Hanyan ate a piece of blood sausage, wrinkled her little nose, and said in wonder, "Auntie, my brother said that the pig-killing dish is delicious and the most delicious." Why doesn't my sister think so?"
This is the first time that Little Miss Chu has questioned Chen Dabao's words.
Chen Daya had already eaten several pieces of meat, and after listening to Chu Hanyan's words, she wiped her little grease mouth and said, "Killing pigs is very delicious." ”
Wu Xiaoqing also nodded and said, "Well, the pig-killing dish is delicious, and my brother likes it the most." That day, my grandfather's house killed pigs, and my brother didn't go to school, and he cried. ”
Chen Afu went to the kitchen to make a dipping dish, dipped the meat and vegetables in the pig-killing dish in the dish, and gave it to the little girl to eat, and the little girl nodded with satisfaction.
