Chapter 299: Eat Tofu for the New Year
The father and daughter are both soldiers, and they are in good health, so they slept on their stomachs on the table for half the night, and when they woke up, they were refreshed.
The father and daughter woke up with a sense of embarrassment, saying that they would stay up together, but they didn't expect to fall asleep in the middle of the night after drinking.
Mu Tingya smiled, tidied up some wrinkled clothes, then pulled Xie Long's sleeve robe, and went to the offering table, she invited Xie Long to sit on the chair next to her, and she stood in front of the offering table, kneeling on the pu mat, kowtowing to the offering table.
first kowtowed four heads, then stood up, rubbed his hands, knelt down and kowtowed again, and said in his mouth: "Xie Yao, a descendant of the Xie family, kowtows to the ancestors and ancestors." ”
He stood up again, bowed, and knelt down again: "Yao'er kowtows to her father, wishing him good health and a safe life." ”
He stood up again, bowed, and knelt down: "Yao'er kowtows to her mother in heaven, and wishes her mother a good day in heaven." Mother, Yao'er will take care of her father, please rest assured. ”
Xie Long, who was on the side, listened to his daughter say this, and he was very relieved to be moved by the old tears.
Wan'er, did you see that? Our daughter, grown up.
After the prostration, the family went to breakfast.
Breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year is very simple, it is to stew ten kinds of dishes into one pot, which means perfect, and everyone must have ten kinds of cuisine in their bowl.
Because of the Chinese New Year, Xie Long exempted Aunt Chen from being grounded and specially approved her to dine with them.
No, at the dining table, Xie Long, Mu Tingya, Xie Chunxiao, Aunt Chen, the four of them were sitting in their places.
For breakfast, each person will receive a bowl of perfect dishes, a bowl of auspicious ruyi porridge, a small steamed bun with a meaning of prosperity, and a bowl of shrimp dumplings.
The style is simple, but the meaning is beautiful.
But, here's the problem.
Mu Tingya's perfect dishes do not have tofu.
Tofu, as the name suggests: Doufu.
If you don't eat tofu during the Chinese New Year, it means that you will not be blessed in the following year.
Mu Tingya's face darkened.
She didn't believe that people were so careless. Will not give her tofu, not to mention the superstition of the ancients, if you don't eat tofu during the New Year, it will be unlucky.
Mu Tingya looked at Aunt Chen and Xie Chunxiao out of the corner of her eyes.
saw that the gloating smile in the eyes of these two people had not had time to hide.
Present. She knew that it must have been the mother and daughter's hands.
Aunt Chen's methods are really not covered.
Obviously, the father took back her power and banned her feet, but he didn't expect her hands to be so long, and he really underestimated her.
Mu Tingya's lips overflowed with a sneer. She looked at Xie Long and said lightly: "Dad, I don't have tofu in my bowl, how can this be broken?" ”
"What?" Xie Long, who was about to move the chopsticks, heard this, his face was a little unkind, he looked at the bowl in front of Mu Tingya, his daughter used chopsticks to stir up all the dishes in the bowl, and he didn't find a piece of tofu.
Xie Long had a calm face and asked the senior executive behind him in a cold voice: "What's the matter?" Why is there no tofu in Miss's bowl? ”
The executive immediately stepped forward and saluted, respectfully: "Impossible! The old slave personally looked at the perfect dishes served by the cooks. The tofu in Miss Yajiang's bowl is all large, which means that you are rich and expensive, how can you not have it! ”
This executive is not Aunt Chen's person.
When Mu Tingya first came to the General's Mansion, the housekeeper she met was Aunt Chen's person, but she was sent away by Gao Yu, and she took Uncle Gao back and took up the position of housekeeper.
This executive is very loyal to Xie Long and Mu Tingya, so he must be right when he says this.
That's it. Mu Tingya's perfect dishes were dropped by someone.
Xie Long was immediately angry: "Gao Yu, send someone to investigate, who changed Miss's dishes?" The executive's family assisted Gao Yu in jointly ascertaining the matter. Be sure to find out who approached Miss's meal. It passed by the hands of several more people. If no one confesses, then they will be sold along with their families. ”
"Yes." Gao Yu and Gao Bo received the order.
Aunt Chen's mother and daughter didn't expect things to be so big.
Didn't you just give Mu Tingya tofu? As for making things so big?
Aunt Chen was worried, and she didn't know if she would find her head.
Mu Tingya looked at Aunt Chen, who was nervous, and sneered in her heart, she said, "What's wrong with Auntie?" Feeling restless? ”
"I didn't ...... No. Aunt Chen pretended to be normal and said, "The concubine stayed up last night. I feel a little unwell. ”
"Really?" Mu Tingya said inadvertently: "I thought you ordered someone to replace my perfect dish!" ”
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?" Xie Chunxiao spoke, she said: "You don't have tofu in your own bowl, I think it's God's will, how can you complain about your aunt?" Besides, my aunt doesn't care about the house anymore, so how can she still have so much power to go to the kitchen? ”
"Right and wrong, Daddy will know when he checks it." After Mu Tingya finished speaking, she directly made an amazing move, she swapped her own bowl with Xie Long's, "Dad, I'll eat your dishes, you let the kitchen serve another bowl." ”
For her actions, Xie Long not only didn't get angry, but smiled, "Even if you eat, it's not enough to add more." ”
Xie Chunxiao was surprised, his eyes were full of disbelief.
How could a father love this righteous daughter so much? It's incredible.
Aunt Chen was also shocked.
At the same time, she became more and more nervous, according to the general's favor for sluts, if it was really found out that it was her posture kitchen that replaced Mu Tingya's perfect dishes, how could the general spare her?
No, she had to go down and give an order, but don't let the general find out about her.
Aunt Chen's face was haggard, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "General, the concubine is a little uncomfortable, and she wants to go back to the room first." ”
Xie Long's face was not good, and he was about to wave her hand to let her retreat, but he heard Mu Tingya say: "Aunt Chen, you should have a reunion dinner during the New Year, you go back, what kind of reunion is it?" Although you are a concubine, you are also half the master of the General's Mansion, right? So Aunt Chen should go back and rest after eating! ”
"Eat quickly, and then go back when you're done." Xie Long spoke.
Aunt Chen had to sit down again, but she was worried and really had no appetite.
After a while, Gao Yu and Gao Bo returned.
Gao Yuyu reported: "General, I found out, it was Aunt Chen who ordered a little maid to secretly change Miss's dishes. ”
Xie Long's gloomy eyes immediately swept towards Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen was shocked and hurriedly denied: "Master, this is a false accusation, the concubine has been grounded until she was released, how can I have time to instigate the maid to change Miss Ya's dishes?" ”
"Take it down." Xie Long's cold voice came, but Aunt Chen was shocked to think that she was hallucinating.
I only heard Xie Long say: "Since you are so dishonest, sell it!" Ben would not have been able to afford a restless concubine. ”
Not only Aunt Chen was stunned, but even Xie Chunxiao was stunned in her seat.
The father actually wanted to sell his aunt for the sake of his righteous daughter?
Father actually wants to sell his aunt for a bowl of vegetables?
Where did the father leave the daughter born to her aunt?
My aunt was sold, wouldn't she never be able to get rid of the title of concubine? Even, there will be a mother who sells?
Mu Tingya sighed in her heart, the mother and daughter have repeatedly opposed herself, and she doesn't know how to beat them into the dust? Or should they be spared? (To be continued.) )
