Le Lin raised the food box in her hand and smiled at Bai Zhi: "Bai Shanggong, I brought Poria cake and bamboo shoot noodles, if you don't dislike it, you can try it first." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she suddenly raised her head again.

I saw her staring at the ivory food box and seeing God.

"The Queen Mother?"

Bai Zhi saw that her expression was different, and called softly.

"This food box ......"

The Queen Mother came back to her senses and blurted out, "It's still there." ”

Hearing this, Le Lin looked sideways at the food box. It was just an ordinary ivory food box, with some bamboo leaf patterns carved around it, and it was not even exquisite. She didn't understand, why did the Queen Mother pay so much attention?

Bai Zhi on the side took the ivory food box in Le Lin's hand, looked at it carefully, and was a little stunned, but immediately came back to her senses and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, in the past, in the Zhao Mansion, there was a commonly used ivory food box, which was probably like this." ”

"Yes, it's very similar...... Queen Mother nodded lightly, and her tone seemed to sigh: "It's my old eyes that are dizzy, how can it be the same?" ”

Le Lin did not doubt him, and replied briskly: "It is such a coincidence, you can leave this food box Baishang Palace together." ”

Bai Zhi lightly blessed her body, nodded and said, "The slave thanked the Hou Ye." ”

After that, he opened the lid of the food box, and there were really about two or three people's portions of Poria cocos cake and bamboo shoot noodles inside.

When he set off today, Shi was afraid that these foods would taste bad if they cooled, so he made a special trip to have a hand stove on the mezzanine below. For more than an hour, pastries and pasta are not as hot as they were in the morning, but they are still slightly warm.

Bai Zhi touched the plate and asked the Queen Mother: "It's a little cold, but you have to order someone to send it to the Imperial Catering Bureau to be hot?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the Poria cake, turned her head and asked Le Lin, "But the Poria cake of Yinghu Zhai?" ”

"It's Yinghu Zhai's, and I ordered someone to buy it early this morning."

"What about the noodles? But Ji Changshun's? ”

"Well, it's Ji Changshun."

The Queen Mother put down the gilded hollow flower and bird spherical hand stove in her hand, picked up the ivory chopsticks in the food box, skillfully picked up a piece of Poria cake, and chewed slowly.

"I thought it would be different."

She muttered.

Le Lin said with a smile: "Yinghu Zhai is a time-honored brand, and the quality should be guaranteed." ”

The Queen Mother didn't answer her words, and only tasted the bamboo shoots and noodles again.

"It still tastes like the same."

She let out a long sigh, as if she had suddenly realized, and sighed as if she had let go of the big stone in her heart.

Then, the Queen Mother did not say anything, nor did she eat again.

In the bronze furnace, the red charcoal fire made a tiny sound like a steel needle breaking.

There was a sudden silence.

It's the kind of people who are chatting and talking, but for no reason they are silent for a moment.

Just when everyone was thinking about what to say to break the silence, the Queen Mother suddenly said to Le Lin: "The mourning family has not eaten Yinghu Zhai's Poria cake for decades, as well as Ji Changshun's bamboo shoots and noodles." ”

"Hmmm......"

"You know, a person who has been thinking about something for too long often thinks about it better than it actually is." The Queen Mother said, her eyes on the snow outside the window.

Snowflakes piled up, more than a foot high.

Le Lin agreed: "Yes, after tasting it again, I often complain about the difference from the past, in fact, it is all because of my own memories and thoughts, which have already beautified and sublimated things." ”

"However, the Poria cake and Yi noodles I eat today are still the same as those of many years ago."

The Queen Mother turned her head, stared at Le Lin again, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, thank you." ”

There were a few deep folds at the end of her eyes, and her eye sockets were slightly sunken, but at this moment, her eyes were as bright as a girl.

Lelin also lost her mind for a while.

She was thinking, if time goes back decades, the Queen Mother is also a beautiful person.

The Queen Mother called her "Hou Ye"?

Le Lin wondered, isn't this title a little weird?

But the Queen Mother was pleasantly surprised: "Are you wearing this pendant?" ”

It's about the emerald pendant that hangs from Lelin's chest.

It is also strange to say that the length of this ancient pendant is generally hung a little lower than the neck, but for some reason, the pendant given by the Queen Mother hangs down to the position of the heart.

Le Lin arched her hand and replied: "Since it is a gift from the Queen Mother, the younger generation will definitely cherish it." ”

As soon as she arched her hand, the Queen Mother saw the ring on her hand at a glance.

"This emerald in your hand is very beautiful." The Queen Mother said with interest: "Can you pick it up and show it to me?" ”

Lelin nodded, took off the ring, and offered her both hands.

The Queen Mother took it, put it in a brighter place by the window, and looked at it carefully.

"Emeralds of this color are not very common."

"It's kind of an heirloom in my family."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said curiously: "It was passed down by your father?" ”

Le Lin shook her head: "It was passed down by my grandfather." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she suddenly froze as if someone had clicked on the acupoint.

After a long while, she asked in a repetitive confirmation, "Your grandfather?" ”

"Hmm."

"Your grandfather also collected emeralds?"

There was an imperceptible tremor in her voice when she asked.

Le Lin didn't notice it, she nodded and said, "Yes, he collected a large box of fine emeralds." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, even the hand holding the emerald ring couldn't help but tremble.

She blinked violently and pinched herself vigorously, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

"The Queen Mother's ......"

Bai Zhi helped her and called softly, as if to remind her to come back to her senses and not to lose her temper.

But the Queen Mother didn't pay attention to Bai Zhi, and only grabbed Le Lin's shoulder hard, her expression was both surprised and happy, and she asked eagerly: "Your grandfather collected a large box of emeralds?" ”

Since the first meeting, the Queen Mother's impression of Le Lin is sometimes dementia, sometimes mysterious, in short, elusive, so Le Lin's reaction to her now is not strange.

"Yes, he collected a lot of fine emeralds for my grandmother."

"Your grandmother? What does it have to do with your grandmother? ”

The Queen Mother frowned and asked blankly.

"My grandmother's name had the word 'emerald' in it, so my grandfather went around collecting green gems for her. ”

She pinched the ring in the Queen Mother's hand again, turned around, pointed to the word 'Cui' engraved on the ring ring, and showed it to the Queen Mother: "It was carved by my grandfather himself." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she took a closer look at the inscription on the ring, and was so stunned for a while that she was speechless and at a loss, like a clay sculpture and wood carving.

After a long time, she said to herself in a daze and stunned: "It turns out that it's 'Cui'." ”

Le Lin said: "Every emerald treasure is engraved with the word 'emerald'. ”

"An Guohou," the Queen Mother finally came back to her senses a little and asked Le Lin: "The mourning family really likes this ring very much, I wonder if you are willing to cut your love?" ”
