(Ah, let's apologize first, Guizi will go out tomorrow, and there are some things to go out of the house today anyway.) Ji Lu is to come back early to revise the text, and update it at 5 o'clock, but it's useless for me to be in a hurry, and I'm late when I come back. Huh, can you say that I was so busy at the bank that I forgot to take the money and left? Fortunately, they were in charge, and after a round of phone calls, they finally found me. The first thing I did when I came back was to repair and upload the text, and I still have a meal so far, so everyone forgave me, okay? Pro~~)

In front of the Queen Mother, Kang Jierong seemed more gentle and amiable than usual, and said softly, "Uncle Cousin arranged us in a courtyard near the lake, but it was very quiet, and all aspects of charcoal fire and diet were good, but it was too far away from the main house, and I had to take a pillar of incense every day to ask for peace." ”

Empress Dowager Mu's face sank, "It's really unbelievable!" Didn't you even get a sedan chair? ”

Kang Jierong snorted, "The county lord has mentioned it, but it's ......."

"Alright, no need to say it." Empress Dowager Mu interrupted her with a wave of her hand, and then looked at the slim Kang Jierong, suddenly smiled, and asked Kang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "When you go to Beijing this time, do you want to set a family affair for Jierong?" She has also reached the age of marriage, and it is time to worry about it. ”

Second Aunt Kang heard the meaning of the words, and was immediately overjoyed, "If the Queen Mother is willing to reward this face, it will be her blessing." ”

Quickly gave her mother-in-law a look, Aunt Kang understood, and said busily, "We originally wanted to kiss and kiss, so that Shoujing and the county lord could be a pair, but we couldn't afford to climb ......"

Empress Dowager Mu snorted coldly, "My own relatives." What's so high? What's more, it's still from the countryside, even if the reputation is higher, that's it. ”

Aunt Kang was overjoyed, and suddenly forgot her form and said, "Then why don't the Queen Mother give marriage?" Presumably Prince Ping will agree, right? ”

Empress Dowager Mu choked, if she had been in the past, she would have been the master without thinking about it, but after seeing her brother's protection of his wife and daughter, she lost this confidence. If she made a decree, but she couldn't do it in the end, how embarrassing would it be?

I was trying to find a staircase for myself to come down. Kang Jierong suddenly interjected timidly. "Grandmother, my cousin made it clear that day that he would not let the county lord's cousin be the eldest daughter-in-law. is that she is learning very well with Aunt Zhao now, but she may not be able to be a good eldest daughter-in-law. ”

Aunt Kang said in her heart, this child is usually very well-behaved. Why did you suddenly dismantle your own desk?

But Aunt Kang glanced at her daughter with a slight smug look in her eyes. Look at Empress Dowager Mu again. Sure enough, when he looked at Kang Jierong's gaze again, it was a little different, "It's a pity that such a smart child doesn't marry a good family." Come here and talk to the mourners. What has the county lord learned these days? ”

Kang Jierong honestly began to confess, "Actually, I have something to hide from my family, that day my brother was punished to kneel, I went to ask the cousin of the county lord for him, only to know that Brother Lu Dao actually recognized a son named Ouyang Kang, and the cousin said that he was good friends with him......"

Shanyin stood not far away, looking at this girl, and only felt cold all over her body.

Although she doesn't say a word of right and wrong, she is more powerful than a thousand words! Under such a gentle and amiable appearance, how can there be such a deep heart? Now, the Ping Wangfu is going to be unpeaceful again, right?

But for now, the surface is calm.

Receiving the blessing of the holy oracle does not need to be forbearance in the palace like his father, Gege smiled, "It turns out that my cousin is also a glutton!" ”

"It's not big, it's not small!" Hui Niang glared at her daughter, "The emperor gave you face, don't you cheer up and work hard?" ”

Nianfu rolled into her arms and coquettishly, "I just haven't had the energy recently, or my mother will do it for me, I want to eat braised bean curd made by my mother, and I will also eat braised eggs and spiced beans." ”

Hui Niang wanted to push her out, but she was not willing to do so. When Nianfu went to make the eighth pot of nine-layer cake, the small day came. Even Zhao Shanggong was considerate and immediately gave her a vacation, and she was even more distressed when she was a mother, and she couldn't wait to wrap her into cotton dumplings and warm them up.

Thinking about the cold water in the kitchen, Hui Niang went by herself. But tell her, "There are no spiced beans, it's freezing this day, but you can conjure fresh broad beans for me to try?" See if there are any chicken and duck offal in the kitchen, give you some marinade, anyway, you girl loves to gnaw bones. ”

"Then I want to eat braised duck head, braised duck feet, braised chicken wings, well, plus braised pig's feet and braised fat intestines!"

Hui Niang laughed angrily, "You girl are embarrassed to say that people are greedy?" I think you're the gluttonous. What a big belly, I still want to eat this and that! ”

But Mu Shaoqin said, "If the girl wants to eat, just make it for her, there are so many people in the family, she must be able to eat." Hui Niang, the braised vegetables you make are the most delicious, and I like it too. By the way, don't forget—"

"Marinated lotus!" The father and daughter spoke at the same time and looked at each other.

Seeing that the father and daughter were smiling exactly the same, Hui Niang pouted, "Yes!" Shall I go and serve your father and daughter? The full happiness in his eyes can't be hidden.

No matter how hard you have waited for those fifteen years, it is grateful.

Hui Niang's brine is naturally good, but with the spicy seasoning prepared by Nianfu, it is the best in the world. There is nothing the whole family doesn't like, especially Mu Shaoqin, who eats very happily.

Nianfu didn't expect that Dad looked like such a gentleman, and he was actually very able to absorb such a heavy taste. On the contrary, Hui Niang, who has always been spicy, was so spicy that she was so spicy that she couldn't stop asking for soup and water, and looked at their father and daughter feasting with envy and jealousy.

"Shhh Especially blessed, whew - you eat less. ”

"Drink the soup quickly, it's not hot." Mu Shaoqin touched the soup bowl and pushed it in front of Hui Niang, but said with a smile, "Nianfu didn't eat much, I looked at her." She has already made a lot of food, if she doesn't eat it, won't it be wasted? ”

This is too false, but the thrifty Hui Niang was convinced. Nianfu secretly had fun, thinking that she would definitely make the sauce at home always have more!

But after the meal was over, as soon as the door was closed, Mu Shaoqin held a family meeting.

"I've already made a decision about Nianfu's marriage......"

Bite. The tea lid in Nianfu's hand suddenly slammed on the tea bowl. But if Zhao Shanggong sees it, he will definitely praise her for growing up. At least the tea has not been spilled, the bowl has not been dropped, and there has been a great improvement.

Mu Shaoqin glanced at his daughter with a smile and began to say the first sentence, "This matter was decided by the emperor and me together." ”

Finished! As soon as the heart of Nian Fu sank, there was no room for turnaround.

What are these nephews trying to do?

※

Two days later, Princess Shouning was ordered to become a monk, and Gao Xian also received four side dishes.

Dried bean curd, kimchi radish, tea eggs and assorted salad.

Four side dishes. It's not amazing. Even the palace people who came to deliver the food were not confident, and they doubted that the county lord had brought the wrong dishes from his subordinates, but when Gao Xian tentatively dropped the chopsticks, he couldn't stop.

Dried tofu is the secret recipe of the Shi family. Cut into garments. After frying in vegetarian oil, it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Then marinated, when the rich sauce is wrapped in the flavor of beans, it is so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue.

Kimchi radish is verdant and snow-white. It can be eaten after soaking in sour water for three days, which is crisp and slightly spicy.

The tea eggs are quail eggs, mainly considering Shouning's snack goods, I am afraid that she will not have a spectrum to eat eggs and her cholesterol intake is too high, so she deliberately uses quail eggs that are small and nutritious, deliberately not peeled the skin, and after being cooked in the secret tea brine, the shell is broken and slowly soaked into the taste. However, the one given to Gao Xian is boiled in white water, peeled off the shell and then put into the brine to soak it, which tastes delicious and convenient. It's just that the palace people next to him are a little shocked, it's delicious, and you can't eat a big plate, Your Majesty?

As for the assorted cold dish, it is made of freshly sent mung bean sprouts, plus shredded mushrooms, shredded fungus, shredded carrots, shredded bamboo shoots, yellow flowers, and more than ten kinds of small dishes such as wild reeds newly dug up by the children of the broken garden near the hibiscus pond, mixed with sauce, sprinkled with a layer of fried peanuts and rice pieces, and then mixed with sesame oil.

Gao Xian ordered someone to serve rice, and after eating two large bowls in a row, he was still unsatisfied, "If there are such small dishes every day, I also want to become a monk." ”

Everyone in the palace laughed, but Shou Ning, who was fighting against quail egg skins, raised his head and said happily, "Then the father, let's come to the house together, and then bring Luo Xiaoyan as well." He is the best at eating, and they say it's called the Emperor's Tongue, which is very powerful. ”

Luo Xiaoyan obviously didn't quite understand what the concept of the emperor was, looked up at her, then at Gao Xian, and continued to calmly bow his head to peel quail eggs for Shou Ning.

Gao Xian had never paid attention to this child before, but he heard that his daughter had a good little male companion outside the palace, and at this moment, when he heard Shou Ning mention the three words of the emperor's tongue, he couldn't help but take a second look.

People were brought by Nianfu, of course she had to explain a few words, "Xiaoyan is indeed born with a good sense of taste, and often helps me try dishes, but unfortunately I can't speak." I found a number of doctors to show him, and they all said that his vocal cords were fine, but he couldn't speak, which is a pity. ”

Gao Xian nodded, knowing that this was the little beggar who the Queen Mother accused Nian Fu of mutilating the young child. But he didn't expect him to have the ability to recognize Baiwei, which reminded him of a person.

After returning to the palace, Gao Xian's mood showed a hint of depression.

Except for Chengping, who had followed him for the longest time, everyone else didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao, so they could only wait more and more carefully, for fear of making a mistake.

After a long time, Gao Xiancai said, "Swing the car." ”

But where to go?

No one dared to ask, Gao Xian didn't say anything, and he didn't want a sedan chair, and walked out of the dormitory with a few retinues, without even mentioning the lantern, and walked all the way through the huge palace in the twilight, and stood still in front of a secluded courtyard, as if reminiscing about some distant past.

In fact, the location of this small courtyard is not remote, there was originally a large flower garden in front of the courtyard, but because there were no nobles, so the flowers and trees were deserted, and it also seemed deserted.

There is a new plaque hanging on the door of the small courtyard, carrying the three words "Pick Fang Zhai", and on a big stone in front of the courtyard, the word "East Fence" is engraved. It's just that the handwriting is mottled and almost undetectable.

Gao Xian squinted for a while, and suddenly said, "Why did you change this name to Jutang?" ”

Others didn't dare to answer, only Cheng said steadily, "The new dynasty always has some new atmosphere, and the emperor personally ordered several halls to change their names, and these small places will naturally follow suit." Originally, there were a lot of chrysanthemums planted here, and it was appropriate to call it a chrysanthemum, but now there are no chrysanthemums, so it is naturally not suitable to call it a chrysanthemum. ”

Gao Xian didn't speak, but his eyes were a little lonely.

Suddenly, the courtyard door creaked open, and a graceful young palace maid walked out with a flower hoe. (To be continued......)
