Chapter 314: Cousin

Lin Ziqing was thinking in her heart, the oranges picked today are so sour, they can be made into candied fruit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Some things may not taste good to you, but they may be delicious in the eyes of others.

Food, as the name suggests, is delicious food, the expensive ones are delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and the cheap ones are street food.

In fact, food is naturally not divided into high and low, as long as it is what you like, you can call it food.

We are known as the "Kingdom of Cooking". Whether ancient or modern, every family has its own special cuisine.

Having expectations before eating food and aftertaste after eating it is not only a simple taste feeling, but also a kind of spiritual enjoyment.

Sour oranges are hard to swallow right now, but they are delicious when made into preserves.

Lin Ziqing doesn't think about what others pick more for, she naturally has no shortage of fruits to eat in modern times, but in this era, a little orange is also delicious in the eyes of her friends.

At this moment, a dark twelve or thirteen-year-old boy ran in front of several of them out of breath, grabbed Li Chenglin's hand next to him, and said anxiously: "Third cousin, come with me to take a look, something happened to the sixth uncle!"

"What?" Li Chenglin's eyes widened, the basket of oranges in his hand smashed on the ground, almost touching his feet, he hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Cheng Song, what's wrong with my father?"

"Brother, don't ask now, just follow me to the wood-cutting pavilion in the East Cave and have a look. Li Chengsong's eyes swept around, and Lin Ziqing seemed to have thought of something, and they were unwilling to say it on the spot.

Li Chenglin sighed in his heart, turned around and followed Li Chengsong and ran into the woods.

But because of anxiety, he didn't pay attention for a while, didn't run two or three steps, tripped over a small branch, and the whole person fell to the ground, and hit his head on a small cedar tree next to him.

Li Chenglin looked back and saw that he had fallen and hadn't gotten up for a long time, so he panicked and hurriedly ran over, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Did you fall somewhere? I'll help you up!"

He struggled to his feet, "I'm fine, let's go quickly." ”

Li Chengsong's heart trembled, and just as he wanted to say something, the person in front of him got up from the ground, and he had already run away in his stunned spirit.

He panicked, and hurriedly chased after him, muttering in his heart, alas, what a sin, I don't know what he should do when he finds out about the sixth uncle?

"Let's go and see. Lin Shumei said.

"Well, let's go, let's see what happens all of a sudden. The biggest Fu Aimei made a decision.

The big guy also followed the two brothers of the Li family to the wood-cutting pavilion on the other side of the woods......

The Ling family's mansion was originally a separate courtyard of Huang Shangshu's family, and Huang Shangshu was a three-jinshi, and he loved the beauty of the garden, and spent a lot of money on the construction of the mansion.

Therefore, the whole house is full of flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions, the west garden and the north garden are all hidden in the flowing fragrance and flying pavilion, it is ingenious, exquisite and extraordinary, and there is a big theater in the center, sometimes the juggling team will be invited to come.

At noon, Ling Mansion, who had just moved to the town, was busy preparing lunch for several women in the kitchen.

It's just that the one who showed her skills in the kitchen today was Ye Tianxue, who was originally in charge of commanding, and she was Ling Feng's cousin.

Originally, she was just watching the cook cook, but when she heard that Ling Feng's eldest brother Ling Hao had returned home today, she couldn't help but grab the spatula and do it herself.

"Miss Cousin......" The cook Aunt Zhang was nervous and thought that Miss Cousin was dissatisfied with herself and was going to be driven home to eat herself.

"It's okay, I just want to cook a few dishes today, and you can do the rest!" Ye Tianxue concentrated on seasoning, stir-frying, and then scooping up with a pot and spoon to taste the taste.

"I heard that the eldest cousin is back, my uncle must be in a good mood, I have to cook two delicious things, show my hometown dishes, and then prepare a good wine, so that the eldest cousin can be happy!"

Aunt Zhang was speechless, because every time the eldest young master came back, the most excited and attentive person was Miss Biao.

Usually when men are in a good mood, good wine and good food are one of the ways to catch their stomach and heart, and Miss Biao's skills are exactly the same as her deceased mother, and she is very good at cooking.

Especially cooking the dishes of the Ling family's hometown, it just meets the appetite of several men of the Ling family, at this time, the eldest young master is back, and the cook who knows Miss Biao's mind will naturally not continue to say anything uninteresting.

Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang willingly started to do it.

"Okay, the eggplant stewed beans and slices of meat are ready! Ye Tianxue put the dishes in a big bowl.

"Let's talk about chicken stew mushrooms again, I'll handle the mushrooms, you are responsible for the ingredients, and your Lan'er is responsible for bringing the stewed chicken in front of you! ”

So the three of them worked together, Ye Tianxue took a look, and planned to make a tofu stewed fish.

"Miss Biao, when the eldest young master comes back this time, is he going to the capital for the exam soon?"

"Probably!"

"Is the second young master going?"

"How do I know!" Ye Tianxue was busy boiling water, and replied casually: "The second cousin knows about gangsters all day long, and he doesn't study at all, who knows if he can't take the exam, even if he goes to the exam, he will be blind!"

"Really, the second young master is fourteen years old, but he can't do anything well, it's all because the old lady really spoiled him too much since he was a child!"

"I don't bother to care about him, he doesn't listen to me anyway, I'm nothing in his eyes!" said Ye Tianxue, who was cutting tofu cubes in one hand.

"Then again, have you heard, last time the old lady actually listened to the words of the second young master, and sent someone to invite a little girl to our house during the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

"I know about this, Chunmei said that the second young master has taken a fancy to someone, but she must be embarrassed to come over if she invites someone over at will!

"I've always felt that the second young master is too willful! ”

"Not to mention being willful, the second young master is simply arrogant and domineering! However, when we were subordinates, he didn't bully, but just gave the old man a headache. After a pause, Lan'er muttered again, "Actually, it's not bad to the bone!"

Aunt Zhang smiled, "I hope someone will discipline him well in the future, in fact, Miss Biao's temperament is more suitable." ”

"Don't mention me, I don't want to care, although I want to stay here forever, but the second cousin, forget it......" Suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, Ye Tianxue turned his head to see that no one was eavesdropping, and then he continued to talk with a wink.

"I heard that the master is going to let General Li's daughter, that tiger girl, marry her second cousin!"

"Miss Biao, are you talking about Li Guanhui!" Lan'er exclaimed, but only one voice, she couldn't help laughing again, "That is really a tiger girl, okay!

"Be quiet, the tofu is blanched! You can fry the fish, Aunt Zhang will take a big casserole and stew the mushroom chicken in a while." ”

"Provincial, the lord is really hard, the eldest lady died early, the second young master is willful and does not grow, and the nine young ladies are also pampered and don't know anything, they will only play horse hanging every day, go out to play polo, and compare flowers. The old man has a headache just to deal with the trouble caused by the nine young ladies, and sooner or later he will get angry and send them to the palace to teach them!"

"My nine cousins were obviously not born to the same aunt, so why are they so similar. "It's weird.

"Actually, I think the second lady should have suggested to the lord a long time ago to forget about the early marriage of a few young ladies! The oldest is nineteen, and the youngest is fifteen. Other families have already married and had children. ”

"Because they don't want to suffer anything, they just want to live easily, and they don't want to enter the palace, and they don't want to marry their mother-in-law now. Ye Tianxue muttered.

"It's also because they are picky, and because they feel that they don't have to worry about getting married anyway, they can play for a few more days, and the sister-in-law who is really going to marry after suffering is so much, so many sisters-in-law are not fuel-efficient lamps. ”

"I think so too. Ye Tianxue nodded in agreement.

"If anyone can solve the big trouble of the nine sisters-in-law in our house, it will really be a living bodhisattva invited by burning high incense, it will not be easy. ”

"It's not easy, I don't think it's possible!" Lan'er said with a smile.

"That's it!" Ye Tianxue began to chop a big fish head with more force.

Aunt Zhang glanced at her, smiled and shook her head, "I said Miss Table, why don't you worry about yourself, I heard that Miss Table's fiancΓ© Situ's family in the capital has invited you to attend the flower party several times, but Miss Table has delayed it, this is not good, Miss Table is fifteen years old, isn't it?"

"I don't want to go!"

"Why?"

Ye Tianxue glanced at Lan'er again and again, but did not answer.

The cook Aunt Zhang knew in her heart that this was because Miss Cousin liked her eldest cousin, but she was engaged to the second young master of the Situ family at the age of six, and she was going to marry sooner or later.

There is no reason, it is not easy for a woman to withdraw from the other party, and she can't come nonsense for the sake of fame.

Ye Tianxue also knows and understands better. However, she only likes her eldest cousin Ling Hao in her heart, and she doesn't like Situ Jin, who she has never seen before!

Originally, she was also the eldest lady of Ye Shangshu's family, although she was not proficient in calligraphy and painting from Xiaoqin, chess, and calligraphy, but the knitting girl learned well, and her cooking skills were also good.

She could have easily let someone serve her, but since her father died, she was brought to live in Ling Mansion by her mother when she was only seven years old.

At the beginning, her mother was bent on marrying her uncle to fill the house, so it was impossible for her to be with her eldest cousin.

Now that the eldest cousin is seventeen years old, sooner or later he will have to discuss marriage, and he also wants to delay the marriage, and it is good to delay it until the Situ family begins to be dissatisfied.

It's just because she's worried that her eldest cousin will talk about marriage with others before she finds out her sincerity, and she's afraid that she'll put family affairs on the agenda after trying it out of the capital.

In her mind, there is no woman worthy of being her cousin.

There is no half woman to match, she has to think of a way this year anyway, so that her eldest cousin can find out her heart.

If she gives another woman a head start, she'll die of grief.
