Three hundred and five

Qin Ying looked embarrassed after answering, and slapped Mei Sanniang's shoulder socket in embarrassment, telling her not to be so presumptuous in her laughter. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The servant who was standing in the distance and swept away heard the laughter of the two people in the pavilion, and the relationship between the master of the heart and the lady was really harmonious, but he didn't know that these two people had an invisible cold war in the afternoon.

In the evening, the hairpin lady had nothing to do, so she went out of the palace to visit Aya in Xingdao, and had dinner here by the way. Qin Ying asked Mei Sanniang to greet the hairpin lady, and she called someone to give Li Chunfeng a message, telling him to hurry over and take care of his future daughter-in-law.

Li Chunfeng has a deep affection for the hairpin lady, which Qin Ying knew when she entered the Hanlin Academy a year ago. Although Qin Ying didn't quite understand why the hairpin lady didn't want to see Li Chunfeng, their relationship had eased recently, and Qin Ying was ready to strike while the iron was hot and create more opportunities for them to get along, in order to seek the beauty of adults.

Qin Ying watched her senior brother Li Chunfeng work hard to get the beauty back, which was also a matter of heart.

Halfway through the unitary hour, Li Chunfeng hurriedly took a bath, then rode into Xingdao, and after seeing Qin Ying, he bowed to her, stood in one place and whispered a few words of praise: "Those who know me, adults too." ”

When Qin Ying heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Since Senior Brother is grateful to me, can I take less red envelopes to congratulate you when you hold a wedding banquet?" ”

Li Chunfeng curled the corners of his mouth as if he was unhappy: "How can you be willing to pit your senior brother?" At that time, there will be no shortage of real money in the red envelope. Now Li Chunfeng already knows that Qin Ying is his cheap junior sister, but he doesn't treat her as an outsider. After all, it has become a habit for two people to get along like this and ridicule so much.

After that, she waved her hand helplessly and said, "-Senior brother is really picking." ”

Dinner was made by Mei Sanniang again, and most of the remaining dishes at noon were put in the ice cellar in the backyard and put on the shelf, ready to be stewed into a table tomorrow morning.

Qin Ying didn't care about the cooking in the house at all, and didn't ask Mei Sanniang about the dinner in advance, but just called the guests and entertained the seats, fortunately, Mei Sanniang was a steady and thoughtful lady in charge.

At this dinner party, Pei Lonely's wine worm was on his body, and he drank two or three glasses of chilled buttermilk and was not addicted, seeing that Qin Ying had a pot of warm Lanling wine in front of his desk, and asked the hairpin lady to pour herself a glass.

A jar of Lanling wine in Qin Ying's house was sent by Empress Xiao two days ago.

Queen Xiao, who came from the Xiao family in Lanling, has a soft spot for wine from her hometown. However, she has been wandering for a long time, and she has not drunk Lanling wine for countless years. The eighth brother Xiao Yu knew her thoughts, and spent a lot of effort to get her ten jars of authentic wine. The relationship between Empress Xiao and Mei Sanniang is not shallow, so Qin Ying also has a good mouth.

Lanling wine is not only a specialty of Shandong, but also one of the famous wines of Chang'an City. However, many vendors use their names to produce sake that does not taste the same as that produced locally. can also be blinded to a layman who doesn't know the truth, and a well-informed person like Queen Xiao disdains a taste of its fragrance.

"You can't mix hot and cold drinks." Qin Ying frowned, and said after glancing at the hairpin lady who walked over on her knees. However, seeing the troubled look on the hairpin lady's face, Qin Ying couldn't make the elders embarrassed, and said after a while, "Mix the wine with the lotus seed pulp made by Mei Sanniang some time ago and drink it." ”

The lotus fruit clears the heat and neutralizes the pungency of the wine.

Mei Sanniang, who was sitting next to Qin Ying, heard this, and felt that this seemed to be feasible, so she put down her chopsticks and got up and walked out of the front hall to get a large jar of lotus seed pulp that she had made according to the secret method in the market.

In the past, Mei Sanniang worked as an official prostitute in Zhongluge in Pingkangfang, and she never left her mouth in the summer, but after she became a family, she knew how expensive the lotus seed paste was, so she didn't dare to buy it and drink it. Once visiting the West Market, Mei Sanniang heard about the practice of lotus syrup, so she bought a large cloth bag of lotus seeds and went to the kitchen to cook them in person.

After two or three experiments, I saw that the taste was no different from what I had drunk in the past, so I boiled out the remaining lotus seeds in one go, and stored them to prepare to drink them with water later.

Pei Lin saw that he was drinking and Mei Sanniang went out, he was a little embarrassed for a while, and muttered to Li Chunfeng childishly and casually: "How can you still be so particular about drinking a glass of wine." ”

Qin Ying's gaze crossed the hairpin lady, looked at Master Pei who was sitting at the table, and said with a serious face: "Your body is no longer as good as when you were young, you can deal with it at will, and if you indulge a little, it may cause a big disaster." ”

The hairpin lady looked back at her Aya, thinking that he had returned to Chang'an under a serious illness, and her heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness. She knew that Aya's body wouldn't last long, and now she only hoped that he would be able to spend his old age worry-free. As everyone knows, he blindly fulfilled all his wishes, and he was also unintentionally harming Aya.

Qin Ying picked up a piece of steamed yam and chewed it carefully in his mouth, swallowed it and said softly: "It is better to raise people's bodies than to raise people's hearts." The heart of raising people is not as good as the ambition of raising people. The relationship between parents and children can also be considered in reverse. ”

The hairpin lady inexplicably felt that she was talking about herself, and she was stunned for a moment, and before she understood the sound of her words, she saw Mei Sanniang come in with a jar of lotus pulp.

The lotus pulp is made by Mei Sanniang herself, so the consistency is very high, and it must be diluted with water to become a shallow appearance sold in the market, Qin Ying proposed to dilute the lotus pulp with Lanling wine, and it cannot but be said that this is a very creative move.

Qin Ying took an empty cup, opened the jar with lotus syrup, scooped a little with a wooden long spoon and pressed it to the bottom of the cup, then mixed the warm Lanling wine into the cup, and then took the wooden spoon and slowly stirred it evenly, so that the amber and bright liquor in the cup gradually brought the turbidity of the silk lotus dregs.

The hairpin lady hesitated about the color of the contents of the cup, but handed it to Aya.

Pei Lin tried to taste it, and gave a thumbs up in surprise: "Qin Ying is a wonderful person. "Qin Ying has a life-saving grace for Pei Lian, although Pei Lian knows that Qin Ying is a lady, and he can't completely see her as a boudoir lady. So I called her by her full name.

Qin Ying curiously concocted a cup in the same way, took a sip of it, and found that the taste was refreshing but not astringent, it was indeed a rare drink mixed with the two, and raised a glass to Pei Lin and smiled shyly: "Master Pei has won the award." ”

Seeing this, Mei Sanniang's hands were itchy, and she also took a wooden spoon and mixed the two in a cup in turn. However, Mei Sanniang couldn't get used to drinking Lanling wine, and felt that this was really a tyrannical thing, wasting a good jar of lotus syrup.

Qin Ying saw Mei Sanniang in the seat next to her frowning while drinking, snatched the cup in her hand, helped her drink it in one go, and said, "If you don't like it, don't force it." The estrangement between the two people has been completely eliminated at this point.

Mei Sanniang nodded, buckled the lid of the lotus pulp, and sealed it tightly in front of the desk. (To be continued.) )
