Chapter 11: The Turtle and the Fish
There is also a hot pot-like food here, so if she changes a little, others won't feel anything. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info she finished writing two words and ran to the old lady, grinding the old lady to agree to her. After the old lady nodded, she changed her clothes and went to the old lady's kitchen, which was the largest and best cook in the Su family. There is a cook brought by the old lady from the capital, and three generations of the family have been in charge of the small kitchen.
Illan went to the first and sweetly called the cook lady with the highest qualifications who had followed the old lady all her life, Granny Ji.
Granny Ji was born with kind eyebrows, and she also liked Eilan, who was not sick with other messy young ladies, so she took a plate of sesame cake that had just come out of the steamer for her to eat, and asked, "What do you want to eat for the fourth girl?" ”
Illan took a bite of the sesame cake, and the mouth was soft and sweet. She nodded and said, "I thought of a meal, but I can't make it, and I want to ask my mother-in-law to make it." ”
After listening to the hot pot described by Hulan, Granny Ji nodded and said, "It's not difficult. ”
Painted Lan sat on the chair next to her and watched Granny Ji cook herself, old ginger, star anise, bay leaves, peppercorns, chili peppers...... Granny Ji added the spices she had in mind to the spices that Illan said. In the past, she either went to a hot pot restaurant to eat or bought a pack of base ingredients and added some of it herself. Naturally, the ingredients are not as complete as Granny Ji's, and Eilan looked at it for a while and felt deeply that she was still more interested in eating. She has found her long-term direction.
Make it foody!
Illan decided to share this pot with the old lady a pot of hot pot with beef bone broth that had been boiled for half an hour, she watched the people in the small kitchen pass dishes to the dining table one by one, and felt that she could have a quiet lunch, when Daddy Su came with Jiang Jiuhan.
The old lady has no objection to having one more person, in order to protect Jiang Jiuhan, so Su Zijin didn't tell his mother about his identity, but the old lady has lived such a long time, how could she really not guess that she only treats Jiang Jiuhan as an ordinary child?
Just listening to her instructing Aunt Mei to ask the kitchen to send some slices of beef, chicken, and venison, Huilan felt that Father Su was too unkind.
There was a hot pot that she had been thinking about for a long time, and Huilan put aside these unhappiness, because she was afraid that she would be scalded by the pot, and the old lady instructed her to hold incense and give her hot food to eat.
The spicy and smooth meat in her mouth made Eilan want to swallow her tongue.
Jincui Curie was eating and drinking, but Huitong and Zhao were a little absent-minded when eating in Furong Garden. Illan was now so close to that distinguished guest, she vaguely felt that it was not good. In her previous life, she had heard Su Zi enter the corner of the wall and say that he was from the Houmen. She didn't remember whether he had a stable life of wealth and prosperity in the end, but it was also extremely bad for Su Huilan to get so close to him now. What if the relationship between the two is very good, and the prince of Houmen finally misses Su Huilan? She still has her plans.
Thinking of this, Huitong felt more and more uneasy, and Zhao saw his daughter's soulless appearance and hurriedly asked, "Ning'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Huitong turned back to her mother's eyes and said, "It's okay, I just thought of the fourth sister today and asked my mother to say goodbye in the future, wondering if she was in good health, and I was thinking about whether I wanted to take a look." ”
Hearing this, Zhao frowned and said, "What you want her to do, you are better than anything else." ”
The Zhao family didn't know about Su Zijin hugging Huilan to accompany the guests to dinner, and Huitong naturally knew about Huilan's movements all the time.
When Huitong heard this, she said: "Mother, now the fourth sister is raised by her grandmother. If she is sick and her mother doesn't take a look, it will inevitably make her grandmother feel that your mother doesn't like the fourth sister. ”
Zhao's complexion changed slightly, her mother-in-law was so difficult to please, and when she first married into the Su family, she tried her best to please her. After a long time, she was also annoyed by the old face that was neither yin nor yang, and she didn't bother to put a hot face on her cold ass, and if Su Huilan hadn't been hugged by her, where would she still be upset now? However, she has always been her mother-in-law, and her husband has to be afraid of people, this Su family has such a situation, and she understands that it is inseparable from her.
Zhao knew in his heart that Huitong wanted to go on this trip, so he opened his mouth and instructed Zirui: "Go to the warehouse and get some nourishing things out, and then take a box of colorful glass beads, and two streamers come out, let the eldest girl take it to see the fourth girl." ”
Zirui left in response, and Zhao turned his head to Huitong and said, "It's okay for you to be nice to your sister-in-law, but you have to remember that you are a girl from a concubine, and you are different from them." ”
Huitong nodded, her mother has paid attention to the prestige of the identity of the housemother all her life, and she is still like this in this life. Of course she remembered her identity, and Su Hulan was just a means for her to change her life. It's a pity that she is too young, and she has no bottom in her heart. However, according to that person's mind and hobbies, he will play for a few more years, he will accept a few more in the room, and he will try to give him a few beauties, are you afraid that he will not be able to succeed? Men are all virtuous, and no one can make up their minds to only guard a flower.
Thinking like this, Huitong couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart, she was going to marry someone in this life after all. Can we only choose the family of peace, not the beloved?
When Huitong came to Jincuiju with eight maids, she was told by the maid that the four girls were taken by Su Zijin to accompany the guests to fish in the lake.
Huitong's heart trembled, although she wanted to go immediately, but the old lady also knew that she was coming, and her father was entertaining, and she was not good to disturb. I can only smile and say hello to the old lady who just woke up from a nap.
The sandalwood burning room made Edung shiver, and the dark and damp room she remembered seemed to envelop her again. Her mother-in-law lives in such a room, but her heart is extremely perverted with sandalwood all year round. In front of people, there is a kind elder, and behind people is a resentful life with a cold and piercing smile, and the mother-in-law who resents her husband but has nowhere to vent her daughter-in-law. Only she knew how much she had been tormented in that room, and even during the time she had been locked up in the firewood room, she had secretly called for someone to take her to torture.
And now this is the smell in my grandmother's room, how not to make her heart tremble, since she was reborn she can not come and not come, here always awakens her nightmares.
The old lady was combing her hair, and Aunt Mei put on the jade hair, inserted the jade hairpin and put on a set of earrings for her.
Hui Tong walked over and saluted, "Hui Tong greets grandmother." ”
The old lady didn't look back, only looked at Huitong's low-hanging figure in the mirror, and said lazily: "Why did you come to greet me today?" ”
Huitong sighed in her heart, it is no secret that her grandmother doesn't like her mother in this Su family. Although she didn't even like herself, she also knew that she was not pampered by her mother. Her face did not change, and she continued: "Because I didn't see the fourth sister when I greeted my mother this morning, my mother was worried about whether the fourth sister was unwell, so I asked Huitong to bring some nourishing medicinal herbs to the fourth sister. ”
Hearing this, the old lady Huilan said with a faint smile on her face: "Your mother has a heart, and the four girls are not unhappy." It was your father who took her to breakfast this morning. ”
After saying this, there was a wordless embarrassment between the two, and they would have taken advantage of this to retreat in the ordinary Huitong. But now, she had to wait until Illan returned, so she continued: "Painted Tong wants to embroider a few handkerchiefs for her grandmother, and wants to ask her what colors she likes." ”
The old lady was surprised that this granddaughter had never been close to her, so why was it so abnormal today? She didn't know that Xiao Jiujiu in Huitong's heart also knew to wait and see. After talking to Huitong about the color, Huitong asked Aunt Mei about embroidery under the pretext of asking about embroidery, and took a few embroidery books and read them with relish in Jincui Curie.
Huitong waited until the sun was waning, and Huilan came back with Su Zi into Jiang Jiuhan when it was twilight. The little maid behind him carried two fish baskets with three fresh fish in them, while the fish basket of the maid next to Eilan held incense contained a turtle the size of a fist.
Su Zijin was in a very good mood, Huilan pouted a small mouth, and when she saw the old lady, she threw herself into her arms and said, "Grandmother, my father bullied Huilan." ”
When Su Zijin heard this, he laughed and said: "Four girls, the same boom bait, all the fish we caught are delicious fish, only you caught a turtle, who can blame it." ”
When the old lady heard the reason, she couldn't help but smile a little, hugged Illan and comforted: "The little man has good hands, the life of the turtle can be long, doesn't this mean a long life?" ”
She changed her method to coax Eilan, and Illan asked pitifully, "Really?" ”
"Of course it's true, when did grandmother lie to you?"
Hui Tong looked at the laughter of several people in the hall and sneered in his heart, Su Zijin is now a loving father and has a close relationship with Hui Lan, but in his world, what is a daughter? Didn't he use it as a stepping stone in his previous life? What good can Su Hulan get! As for the grandmother, there is no need to worry, in three years, she will also go, at that time, her heart and soul treasure must still be in the hands of her mother?
Thinking like this, she walked out of the blessing body and called to Su Zijin, "I've seen my father." Nodding to Jiang Jiuhan again, Su Zijin didn't reveal his identity, and she could only treat him normally.
Then he turned his head to Hulan and said, "The fourth sister is fine, but it makes my mother and me worry in vain." ”
Hulan didn't know why, so the old lady pointed to the things that Huitong brought and said, "You didn't go to ask for peace today, your wife is worried that you are not happy, so let Huitong bring it to see you." ”
Illan was flattered, and obediently expressed her uneasiness about not being filial to make his wife worried, and thanked his wife and sister for their worries. The clear thinking and clear sentences made Jiang Jiuhan look at her several times.
Su Zijin stayed in Jincuiju at dinner, because Jiang Jiuhan said that the carp he caught should be braised in a braised one. Hui Lan also pointed to a tarpon in Su Zi's fish basket and said, "Make white jade fish soup for grandmother to taste." ”
As for the turtle that Hulan only caught in the afternoon, she asked Baoxiang to find a clay jar painted with the moonlight of the lotus pond, and pointed to the little girl to dig up the mud and put it in it, and raised the turtle. Orchid looked at the muddy turtle and thought that when she could plant lotus flowers, she would plant a few lotus seeds, and in the summer, she would be able to see lotus flowers in the house every day.
