Xi Yunzhi panicked into the kitchen, the inside was dark, there was a table of eight immortals at the entrance, next to the stove, there was a lot of firewood for the fire, a piece of land was piled up in the south, and the walls were hung with mountain goods and air-dried prey, pheasants, wild ducks, rows of hangings, mushrooms, wild vegetables, strings and ......

Is this the rhythm of the husband's family to rely on the mountain and eat the mountain?

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Xi Yunzhi can't care about anything else, what she has to do now is to boil water and serve tea, although her husband has no parents, but there is a grandfather above, she should get up early in the morning, cook breakfast for her husband and grandfather, and abide by the way of the bride.

Now that it's late, it's too late to do too many complicated things, Xi Yunzhi plans to boil the water, make a pot of tea for the grandfather, and when the fire is burning, an old man walks in outside the door, Xi Yunzhi recognizes his appearance, it is the one who went to Xi's mansion to greet her yesterday, and hurriedly walked out from behind the stove, the old man saw that she was burning the fire, and hurriedly came up to take the firewood in her hand, and said:

"Madam, how can you do such a rough job, let me do it."

Xi Yunzhi saw that he didn't look like him, so he smiled shyly and said, "Old man, I'm getting up late, I don't know if the husband and the old lady are angry, so I'll go to serve tea." ”

The old man twisted his beard and smiled: "Madam, the old man's surname is Yan, they all call me to be the Yanbo, the old lady knows that you are tired these days, so she asked me to cook some breakfast for you, but I am not angry with you, as for the young master...... He used to get up early, maybe he was wandering around in the mountains and forests, and his wife didn't have to worry. ”

Xi Yunzhi hurriedly nodded and said:

"No, no, I'll cook breakfast." As he spoke, he was about to grab the firewood in Uncle Yan's hand, but he flashed it deftly, only to see Uncle Yan quickly sit behind the stove to light the fire, Xi Yunzhi saw that he was not idle, so he went to open the lid of the pot to see how the water was boiling.

Uncle Yan secretly observed her behind the stove for a while, and then he half-kowtowed his eyelids, as if he had inadvertently chatted with Xi Yunzhi.

"Madame is the eldest daughter of the Xi family? The in-laws are called Xi Zheng? ”

Xi Yunzhi suddenly heard his father's name, and his hand movements paused, and then he nodded: "Yes, how does Uncle Yan know my father's name?" ”

Uncle Yan hid behind the pot hall and couldn't see his face, but a smiling voice came out: "Oh, when Master Xi rushed to take the exam, he happened to be hiding from the rain in my house, and when he asked him where he was, he said that he was from the Xi family in Luoyang, and he knew him." ”

“……”

After listening to the encounter between Uncle Yan and his father, Xi Yunzhi didn't know how to answer, and his father rushed to take the exam...... That was nearly ten years ago, at that time he was high-spirited, ambitious and rewarded, and wanted to take the exam to come back to the glorious lintel, but it was a pity that the creation made people and became the current situation.

Thinking that Uncle Yan also heard about what happened to his father later, he didn't ask much about it, but told Xi Yunzhi about the situation of the Bu family now, it turned out that the husband's surname was Bu, and the prince was called Bu Qin, I heard that he was a general in the past, but he lost the battle, broke his leg, and was useless in the capital, and was secretly demoted by the emperor to guard the mausoleum.

In addition to a team of remnants of the weak soldiers sent by the emperor to fish in troubled waters, there were only three people, Yan Bo, Zhao Yi and Han Feng, the three of them accompanied the ancestors of the Bu family, living in this courtyard, several men lived together, no one had some food, clothing, housing and transportation, they went up the mountain to hunt all day long, and came back to dry and hang, which is the reason why this small kitchen is full of mountain goods.

Xi Yunzhi quickly cooked some rice porridge, cut some cooked meat and sprinkled mushroom shreds on the porridge, and suddenly the fragrance overflowed, she carefully put a bowl on the wooden tray, followed Yan Bo, and went to the backyard where the old lady Bu Chengzong lived.

After giving the old lady a gift to his granddaughter-in-law, he offered the rice porridge he cooked by himself, Bu Chengzong didn't know whether it was fake flattery or real praise, gobbled it up, gave Xi Yunzhi a thumbs up while eating, and drank a bowl of porridge in two bites, Yan Bo shamefully handed him a clean handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and he also smacked his mouth twice, and his loud and powerful voice echoed in the courtyard:

"Oh, I haven't eaten such delicious porridge for a long time, Qin'er is blessed, Qin'er is blessed, hahahaha."

Xi Yunzhi knelt on the ground, not daring to move, because she didn't know if this old lady was telling the truth or lying, just like the old lady of the Xi family, she obviously hated you in her heart, but she wanted to make a happy look on her face, so that you couldn't touch her head.

Bu Chengzong saw Xi Yunzhi kneeling and restrained, knowing that no matter what he said at the moment, she would not unload her heart so quickly, so she didn't force it, patted her brain, suddenly stood up, and walked around the room, as if she was looking for something, Uncle Yan didn't understand what this person was looking for, so he leaned over and asked, Bu Chengzong stroked his white beard, stood in place and thought for a while before he suddenly realized, walked to the bedtable in the inner room, went in with a fire and fire, came out with a fire and a sword, sat on the Taishi chair opposite Xi Yunzhi, and beckoned to her.

Xi Yunzhi didn't know why, but he didn't dare to get up, so he moved two steps on his knees, and Bu Chengzong saw her like this, so he didn't sell it, and handed the red bag in his hand to her, and said in a loud voice:

"This is the heirloom of our Bu family, a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants, one of you, one of Qin'er, you put it on him when you turn around, thanks to the last time the grandsons went to the house to search for it, I hid it quickly, otherwise the ancestors of the Bu family would not have to crawl out of the cemetery in the middle of the night to talk to me."

Xi Yunzhi took out the two snow-white jade pendants from the bag, although it was easy to listen to what the old lady said, but he could also understand the weight of his words, this jade pendant represents the inheritance of the Bu family, and the responsibility is heavy but he can't shirk it, Xi Yunzhi cautiously put the things in his chest, kowtowed to Bu Chengzong and said:

"Yes, my daughter-in-law will take good care of it."

Seeing that she was so cautious, Bu Chengzong's hanging heart finally let go a little, stood up, personally pulled Xi Yunzhi up from the ground, and said to her with a smile:

"It's just that it's not okay to keep it well, but it has to be passed on, passed on to your daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, you are very good, but you have to give birth to a few fat dolls for our Bu family quickly, hahahaha."

Xi Yunzhi stood there with a red face, not knowing what to do, but he heard Bu Chengzong pat his stomach and said:

"Lao Yan, go and serve me a bowl of porridge again, Lao Tzu has never thought the porridge is so delicious in his life, and if you eat the rice you cooked, Lao Tzu will die sooner or later."

Xi Yunzhi was worried that he had nowhere to hide, and when he heard that the old lady was still drinking porridge, he volunteered:

"Let's let my granddaughter-in-law go."

As he spoke, he picked up the porridge bowl that Bu Chengzong had drunk, blushed, and walked out of the courtyard with his head down.

Seeing that his master was staring at the back of the girl leaving, Uncle Yan couldn't help asking, "Master, what do you want?" The young lady is very good, she knows how to be polite and measured. ”

Bu Chengzong listened to Uncle Yan's words, then retracted his gaze thoughtfully, and smacked his lips and said: "The temperament is very good, but it is too thin, and it doesn't look very easy to give birth to, so you have to make up for it." ”

“……”

Yan Bo fell to the ground, the old man was worried about this, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Bu Chengzong:

"By the way, you go and hand over the family's account books and the rest of the money to your granddaughter-in-law, and let her take care of it."

Yan Bo hesitated a little: "But the old man...... Our family's account and money ......" He made an embarrassed expression: "Madame has just arrived, so it's not good." ”

Who knew that Bu Chengzong was iron-hearted, and waved his hand: "Just do it, there's nothing to worry about, this is the granddaughter-in-law I personally selected." ”

At the beginning, he spent a full three months, deliberately understanding the temperament and ability of this granddaughter-in-law, and he should not be wrong.

When Xi Yunzhi returned to the kitchen, he saw Zhao Yi and Han Feng drinking porridge in front of the stove, and when she came in, she hurriedly stood aside, and the lively Zhao Yi hurriedly said to her:

"Madam, this porridge was cooked by you, it is so delicious."

“……”

Xi Yunzhi never thought that he had just cooked a pot of white porridge and received so much praise, and immediately smiled sweetly:

"Really? Then you eat more......"

As she spoke, she took out another bowl from the cupboard, walked to the pot and wanted to serve the porridge, but what she could see was a clean, black bottom of the pot, she remembered that she cooked porridge for ten people, but she gave a bowl to the old lady, why was it gone?

Zhao Yi was still drinking porridge and drinking loudly, Han Feng was more knowledgeable, put down the porridge bowl, scratched the back of his head, and smiled embarrassedly at Xi Yunzhi:

"It was so delicious, we ate a few more bowls." It's really just a few bowls...... Nothing more.

“……”

The old lady was still waiting to drink porridge, and Xi Yunzhi wanted to cry without tears.

When he was in a dilemma, he saw Zhao Yi suddenly put down the porridge bowl, walked out of the kitchen quickly, and said to Han Feng:

"Lord is back."

Han Feng also noticed it, so he followed Zhao Yi's steps and left in a hurry, Xi Yunzhi didn't know why, so he also followed over to take a look.

I saw Bu Qin take off yesterday's wedding clothes, put on a pure black regular clothes, handsome facial features and indifferent expression, make him look as sharp as a sword, if it weren't for the difficulty of one leg to move, walking up and leaning back and forth, then such a man, just standing, is enough to look at the world.

Zhao Yi and Han Feng put away their previous playful attitude towards Xi Yunzhi, and stood outside the kitchen respectfully, with solemn expressions and tall postures, as straight as two silver pines.

Bu Qin didn't know what he had done outside, there were some stains on his palms, his face was expressionless, and he limped to the water tank outside the kitchen, Zhao Yi immediately ran over to fetch water for him, and Han Feng went to find the soap corner.

Xi Yunzhi stood outside the door, staring at the man with a pair of black eyes without blinking, seeing him glance coldly, Xi Yunzhi hurriedly cheered up, raised a smile at him, and asked him generously:

"It's morning, I haven't had breakfast yet, I'll go ...... now"

"No need."

Before Xi Yunzhi's words were finished, Bu Qin took the lead in interrupting her, took the soap corner handed by Han Feng, washed his hands, and returned to the easternmost study without a sound, Xi Yunzhi looked at his departing back, and sighed unconsciously.

Zhao Yi and Han Feng looked at each other, for fear that she would feel embarrassed, Zhao Yi hurriedly comforted her:

"Lord...... I don't have the habit of eating breakfast, madam, don't take it to heart. ”

Xi Yunzhi smiled generously: "Well, how can you go to your heart, have you eaten well?" I've got to cook some more, do you still want to eat it? ”

Zhao Yi and Han Feng immediately forgot everything, and nodded again and again on the stove: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

Enthusiastic look, just two tails behind him.
