Chapter 260: Support
Chen Afu had just finished checking the accounts and was about to go to the kitchen to fry two dishes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info She's so busy that she hasn't been in the kitchen these days, and she even wants to eat her own fried dishes. I heard that the old man Zeng came to report that there was a distinguished guest at home, and it was Lord Chen.
Chen Afu went out and saw Chen Shiying leading Chen Yulan's three sisters and brothers into the courtyard.
Chen Afu thought that Chen Shiying would come in the near future, this is the territory under his jurisdiction, and he must care about such a good new watermelon. But he didn't expect him to bring their three siblings with him.
She hurriedly went over to greet Chen Shiying, and Chen Yulan's sister and brother gave Chen Afu a salute.
The three siblings looked around, and they were all curious, and felt that it was different from the countryside they imagined. In the yard, the bamboo trees are shaded, the flowers are in full bloom, the house is also carved and painted columns, there are more than a dozen bird cages under the eaves, the birds in the cage are very good-looking, the coat color is bright, the call is tactful, and the extreme eye over the courtyard wall is the continuous green hills. There's something else to see here.
"Sister, your home is so beautiful. Chen Yulan said with a fan.
"Well, I feel like there's a smell in the wind. Chen Yuqing smiled again.
Chen Yuxia only smiled shyly and nodded.
Chen Afu smiled, "If you like it, just stay a few more days." ”
A few people entered the upper room, served tea, and sat down.
Chen Shiying said, "Dad has long wanted to come to you to have a look, but I can't spare time." When I was free today, your younger brothers and sisters wanted to come and see you, so I brought them with me. He praised the watermelon sent by Chen Afu for its deliciousness, and proposed to go and see the melon field.
Chen Afu regretted, "The melons in the melon field near my house were picked a few days ago, and now there are no seedlings, and I am preparing to turn over the ground, apply some fertilizer to nourish it, and plant autumn corn in a few days." If you want to see the melon field, you can only go to Wangshan Village to see it. ”
Chen Shiying still wants to go to Wangshan Village to see it with his own eyes, so it will take half a day, and I am afraid it will be too late to return to Fucheng today. It is said that after dinner, he took a carriage to Wangshan Village alone, and then stayed in Zhuangzi there for one night. Let Chen Yulan's three sisters and brothers return to Dingzhou Mansion in the evening.
Chen Yulan, Chen Yuqing, and Chen Yuxia were unwilling. Chen Yulan said, "My father stayed in Wangshan Village for one night, and we stayed at my sister's house for one night. ”
Chen Shiying shook his head and said, "You still have to go to school tomorrow, so you can't delay your studies." After you have a vacation, you will come to my sister's house for a few more days. ”
Chen Afu hurried to the kitchen to lead Aunt Zeng and Chunyue to be busy. Aunt Zeng has already made a few lo-mei, braised pork ribs, braised pork liver, braised chicken, braised tofu, etc., which are common dishes at home. The old marquis wants to come to Fuyuan for dinner every day, and he has to cook these dishes and make wine for him. Because Chu Lingxuan is resting today, he is more prepared.
Chen Afu stir-fried bitter gourd fried meat, fish-flavored shredded pork, golden prawns, golden hook winter melon, two-color mushrooms, and mixed sweet and sour cucumbers, sesame sauce cucumbers, refreshing watermelon skins, sour and hot watermelon skins, and cold salad.
Now that it's hot, eating these dishes is refreshing and refreshing.
When she was almost ready, Chen Shiying called Chen Afu to the courtyard, he blushed and said that he had brought some gifts to the Wang family, and wanted Chen Afu to invite Chen Ming and Wang over for a meal together, "...... Your mother is my sister, and your father is my brother-in-law, they are all relatives, so they will leave as relatives. Qing'er and Xia'er haven't seen them yet, so they should be greeted as well. ”
Chen Afu guessed that neither the Wang family nor Chen Ming would want to see Chen Shiying. Chen Shiying can treat them freely, but they can't treat Chen Shiying freely.
But he had already brought it up, and he couldn't go away, so he took Chen Yulan's three sisters and brothers and the gift to Luyuan to Luyuan.
Chen Ming, Wang, and Mrs. Chen were talking in the upper room, when they saw Chen Afu leading two girls and a son in gorgeous clothes to walk in. Chen Ming and Wang knew Chen Yulan and guessed that the other two might be Chen Shiying's daughters.
Chen Yulan saluted them, and Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxia got Chen Shiying's orders, and they both knelt down and kowtowed to Wang, saying, "I have seen my aunt, may my aunt be healthy and auspicious." ”
Wang quickly helped them up, and gave each of the two sisters a handkerchief embroidered by her own hand with red eyes, and said, "Good boy, this is a handkerchief embroidered by my aunt, don't dislike it." ”
Chen Yuqing said with a smile, "The handkerchief is so beautiful, we all know that my aunt's embroidery is good." ”
Chen Yulan gave the gift, a snack candy and wine, and also gave a pound of bird's nest for Chen Ming's body, and also brought some candy and wine to the old lady.
Several people sat awkwardly for a while, and Chen Afu invited Chen Ming's family to Fuyuan for dinner. Wang and Chen Ming both refused, on the pretext that the old lady was here, and they wanted to accompany the old lady and asked Ah Lu to go to Fuyuan to accompany the guests on their behalf.
Chen Ming whispered to Chen Afu again, "When they leave, we will pick some fresh cucumbers and vegetables and send them to them, and your mother will make a few cans of mash and give them two cans." Countrymen, they may like these wild meats. ”
The mash made by the Wang family is quite a legend of Chen Afu, and the well in Luyuan also puts swallow agarwood residue, which tastes very good.
Chen Shiying was a little disappointed when he saw that Wang didn't come over. But seeing that Chen Alu looks very much like Wang's, delicate, white analysis, and advanced and retreated at a young age, I like it very much. Ah Lu also kowtowed to him and called him "uncle". He gave Ah Lu a jade pendant and encouraged Ah Lu to study hard.
was lively, and the people from Tangyuan came, only the old marquis of Chu, Chu Lingzhi, and Chu Hanyan came. They said that Chu Lingxuan also went to Sanqing County because of temporary trouble.
Chen Shiying and Old Marquis Chu were drinking wine at one table, and the other few people were eating at the same table. Both tables are placed in the dining room, with no screen in between. Even if there is only one more adult old man, Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxia, who are not out of the door, are not very embarrassed. But the dishes on the table were delicious, better than the dishes in their own homes and even restaurants, and they forgot to be shy while eating.
At the dinner table, the old marquis told Chen Shiying that the watermelon was different because the seeds were bought from Fanren, and Chen Afu had other different seeds in his hand, which were given to her by Master Wuzhi. Today, not only Chen Afu has planted rice and corn, but even their Tang Garden has planted corn in a large area......
Chen Shiying was very happy when he heard the special nature of these seeds, as well as the way Fan Ren and Master Wuzhi said about dealing with the seeds. He said, "If you can really use those good seeds of wheat, rice, and corn to grow new products, like these watermelons and cucumbers, to increase yields, improve taste, and reduce pests and diseases, it will be a blessing for the people." ”
The old marquis said, "If these crops are planted, it is not only a blessing for the people, but also the political achievements of you, a parent official." Although our Chu family will protect Ah Fu, you are the parent official of this side, and you also need your support for some things. Keep it secret when you should keep it secret, and block it when you should block it......"
Chen Shiying hurriedly said, "Definitely, definitely." Not to mention that Ah Fu is my daughter, that is, an outsider, with such a great thing with the country and the people, the lower officials must vigorously support it. ”
PS: I'm sorry, in the previous chapter, Qingquan miscalculated the silver earned by six acres of watermelons, not so much, it has been changed.
