Chapter 005: This Uncle Looks Good
When Yu Jinjiao saw Yu Jinxiu coming in, her face unconsciously smiled dotingly, and she held her little hand stained with dirt and patted it gently, "Jinxiu, where have you gone to play?" Look at the dirt on your hands. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Yu Jinxiu raised her little face and said in a serious voice: "I went to the backyard with the nurse to pull weeds for the melon, and the nurse said that the melon will be eaten in a few days." β
What kind of weeding, it must be that you are greedy for those melons, and you dragged the nurse to see if the melons are ripe.
Yu Jinjiao funnily pinched her chubby face, and then told the maid to take her to clean her hands and change her clothes, so that she could go to lunch later.
After finishing the makeup, Yu Jinjiao began to arrange various matters in the house. When she went to Chengwangfu this time, she didn't know what would happen, let alone how long it would take to come back, only by arranging everything properly, she could do her best to solve the matter with Xiao Gan.
She summoned several mothers-in-law in charge and the people who were serving around Yu Jinxiu, and solemnly explained them one by one, especially about taking care of Yu Jinxiu, and she took the trouble to emphasize and re-emphasize.
Although everyone didn't know what was going on, they heard that His Royal Highness King Cheng was coming to the Hou Mansion, and they knew that it was definitely not a trivial matter.
Yu Jinjiao knew the doubts and uneasiness in everyone's hearts, and after coughing lightly, she comforted: "You don't have to worry, the prince asked me to go to the palace just a little thing to solve, and I will be back soon." β
Her tone was calm and natural, and she didn't see anything unusual at all.
Only then did everyone relax and promise that they would take care of the affairs of the house.
As soon as he dismissed the stewards, he saw Hongrui come to spread the word that lunch had been prepared, and that he had placed it in the living room as Uncle Sun had instructed.
Yu Jinjiao couldn't help pouting, this Uncle Sun was really enthusiastic. Actually, she really didn't want to care about that domineering demon for lunch.
Before I entered the living room, a burst of aroma came to my nose.
"It smells so good." Yu Jinxiu sniffed hard, looked like a greedy cat, took Yu Jinjiao's hand and couldn't wait to go to the living room, because she had already smelled the sweet taste of her favorite cream cake.
Yu Jinjiao smelled the aroma of vegetables, and the hunger in her stomach suddenly increased, so she quickened her pace.
Sure enough, when I entered the living room, I saw that the large mahogany round table in the center was full of various dishes, plus a few plates of delicate pastries, vegetables and fruits, which were full of aroma, and just looking at it made people appetize.
Yu Jinjiao didn't see the person sitting at the table, and sat down to eat without squinting, without even saying a kind word.
Yu Jinxiu curiously opened her big watery eyes and kept looking at Xiao Qian, tilting her little head and thinking: Who is this good-looking uncle? Why come to their home for dinner?
Uncle Sun obviously felt that the atmosphere was not right, on weekdays, the eldest lady was the most enthusiastic, how could she ignore the guests like this? Looking at this situation, there must be something unpleasant between the eldest lady and His Royal Highness King Cheng.
He looked at this, then at that, and then played a round with a smile: "The house can't take out any good things to entertain the prince, it's all commonplace, don't dislike it." β
When Yu Jinjiao heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily a few times. Sweet and sour crispy fish, sauced beef, sesame venison skewers, braised goose feet, roast suckling pig, fish balls with fragrant sauce, duck tongue soup, and her favorite hot and sour belly soup......
Steamed braised marinade, sweet, sour, spicy and salty, there is a table full, this is still called a homely meal? I'm afraid that the cook will use all the housekeeping skills and cooking skills learned from her, right? You must know that even in the Yuxian Building, the first restaurant in Shangyang, you can't order so many secret dishes at one time.
Xiao Qian is a bastard who doesn't like to eat it, so she has a little balance in her heart. Otherwise, when she thought of having to bully and coerce the domineering demon to eat a big meal, she felt very aggrieved.
"The butler is gracious." Xiao Qian seemed to inadvertently glance at the woman in front of him who was bored, didn't he want him to eat here?
Today, he still ate it, who let her run away and quibble, wasting so much time and energy on him, this was only regarded as compensation for him, so he ate and drank unceremoniously and unceremoniously.
Although there are a lot of people in the living room, it is unusually quiet, except for the occasional light sound of dishes colliding, there is no extra sound, even the usually naughty and playful Yu Jinxiu is extremely quiet, and her eyes have been staring at Xiao Qian.
Yu Jinjiao couldn't help but sigh and complain in her heart: Hey, Jinxiu, you little girl, is that person so good-looking? You haven't looked at your sister or me since you entered the living room.
In fact, she is very unaccustomed to this kind of almost oppressive quiet. In the previous life, the family had a lively meal, but after crossing into this Hou Mansion due to an accident, the atmosphere at home has always been harmonious, and there is often laughter and laughter at the dinner table. Even after the death of her father and brother, there are only two people left at the dinner table, she and Yu Jinxiu are the only two left, and it is rare to eat without saying a word.
Yu Jinjiao was thinking wildly, suddenly remembered something, looked up at the table, and found that she didn't see the acacia flower cake she wanted to eat, so she asked Hongrui, who was waiting on the side: "Didn't I make the acacia flower cake I made yesterday?" β
Hongrui didn't dare to reply, and looked at Uncle Sun for help.
Uncle Sun secretly glanced at Xiao Qian, and explained with a smile on his somewhat stiff face: "Miss, that cake ...... The bread is made in the morning, and it is already cold, so let's wait for dinner to be hot. "Although the cake is very delicious, after all, it is a coarse thing that cannot be put on the table, and it is good for your own family to eat, how can you put it on the table to entertain distinguished guests? If this is spread, it will not be laughed at.
Although the Hou Mansion in Nan'an is not as beautiful as when the Hou Ye was alive, because of the presence of the eldest lady, the life of the Hou Mansion is not as difficult and constrained as outsiders imagine, so why make people look down on it, and this will not have a good impact on the eldest lady's choice of husband.
Yu Jinjiao understood his concerns, but she didn't care, she didn't want to accommodate this bastard, why couldn't she eat him when he was here. What's more, she was about to leave after eating this meal, and if she didn't eat it now, she might not have a chance, so she insisted: "It doesn't matter if it's cold, it's the first time I've eaten it this year, let's try it." β
Uncle Sun knew that she couldn't resist being stubborn and stubborn, so he had to reluctantly order someone to get it.
At this time, Yu Jinxiu, who had been quiet all the time, finally couldn't help it, jumped off the stool, leaned against Yu Jinjiao, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, this uncle looks so good, he looks as good as the father in the painting." Who is he? Why do you want to eat at home? β
Uncle?
Yu Jinjiao was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes involuntarily bent into a crescent moon, and she was secretly happy in her heart: it was really not too much to call uncle by age, but she guessed that bastard should not want to hear this name.
Feeling the other party's scrutiny, Xiao Gan's brows frowned slightly, what were these two people talking mysteriously? Judging from the way the woman looked at him and the expression on her face, it was certainly not a good word.
