When he returned to the mansion, Rouge Tao was waiting at the shadow wall. Seeing Jinru, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, Master Hou is in the mansion today, and after listening to your explanation, he hurriedly came over, and he is now in the old lady's house." ”

Jin Ru responded. Qiao Wei and Cai Jing instructed people to move things, and when everyone returned to Fu Jin Xuan and packed up the silk threads, Ziyue in Old Madam Qin's house came to pass the word.

Ziyue was wearing a brocade jacket with a madder eight-treasure pattern, her hair was combed shiny and shiny, and she was hairpinned with a pearl hairpin of golden silk fragrant wood, looking shrewd and capable.

She smiled and saluted Jin Yi and Jin Ru, and then said to Jin Yi: "Just now, Young Master Jin Xuan came to find the old lady and said that the second lady would be invited to live in the house over there for a few days tomorrow." The old lady agreed, let me ask the second lady, if the Buddha embroidery is too tired, you might as well go there to live for a few days to relax. ”

Jin Yiying got up and said gently: "It's less than half a month before the New Year's holiday, I'll stay for a few days and come back." ”

Ziyue nodded in agreement and was about to go back. Jin Yi stopped her and asked, "Is Grandmother's dinner ready?" ”

Ziyue didn't know, but she still replied respectfully, "I'm getting ready." ”

"I'll make two vegetarian dishes and send them over later, and invite my grandmother to taste them, which is also my filial piety."

Ziyue glanced at her carefully, and praised with a smile, "Second Miss is really hearted, the old lady must be happy to hear it." After saying that, he gave another blessing, and then Shi Shi went out of the courtyard.

Jinru was a little surprised, "Sister, do you want to cook yourself?" ”

Jin Yi smiled calmly and indifferently, "I've only been back for two days, and I'm going to your house." I'm afraid that my grandmother will not be happy. Besides, cooking for my grandmother is more filial piety. ”

With that, he got up and went to the kitchenette.

Mama Chen, who was in charge of the kitchen, was startled when she saw that she was going to do it herself, and said with a smile: "How can there be any reason to let the young lady cook the dishes herself, or the young lady will guide her and the slave will do it?" ”

Jin Yi smiled and shook her head, "It's okay." ”

As he spoke, he picked among the baskets of vegetables on the cupboard. Vegetarian dishes are convenient, unlike fish and meat, there are many restrictions on the materials, and fresh vegetables can be used.

Qiao Wei was on the side to help choose white eggplant and jade chayote, and Jin Yi pulled up her sleeves with her arm and cut the tofu with her own knife.

The white and tender tofu fell from under her knife, the thickness was even, as clear as white jade, without any damage. The master in the kitchen leaned over and looked at it, and he was also amazed.

In a short time, a bowl of white jade silver silk soup and matsutake button bergamot was ready.

"It's a pity that time is tight, and the taste of matsutake mushrooms is not enough." Jin Yi brushed a trace of drooping green silk in her ears, looked at the two bowls of vegetables on the case, and was a little dissatisfied.

Qiao Wei put the food in the food box and followed her to Fuxi Hall.

When she entered the house, the maids were setting up a case, and Ying Xue saw her come in, and shouted to the house with a smile: "Old lady, Sister Yi is here to bring you food." ”

Yingxue is seventeen years old this year, and she has been with Mrs. Qin since she was twelve years old, and she is the most empathetic, observant, and understands the old lady's temperament very thoroughly. Therefore, even in front of her, he dared to laugh and laugh. Old Madam Qin not only did not blame her, but liked her to speak pleasingly, and she was also extremely indulgent to her, which was a little better than her own daughters-in-law.

Old Madam Qin came out of the inner room and saw Jinyi, a smile bloomed on her face, "Sister Yi is really a filial and caring child......

Seeing that her hair was a little messy, and there was still some fumes on her body, she couldn't help but be a little moved, holding her hand, and smiling more and more kindly.

Originally, she heard that Jin Yi was going to live in the Marquis of Changfeng's mansion, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, so she ordered Ziyue, a big girl who has always been careful, to go and pass the word. Who knew that after Ziyue came back, she said that the second lady was going to cook the food herself and come to pay respects, and when the old lady Qin heard it, she felt a little more comfortable in her heart.

At this time, seeing Jinyi's appearance, he became more and more lovable, and he had already put that trace of dissatisfaction out of his mind.

Jin Yi sat aside, and Mrs. Qin tasted the dishes she cooked, and was full of praise, "Sister Yi'er's craftsmanship is really good, better than the master in my kitchen who specializes in cooking food." But in the future, just let the next person do it. You're a daughter, don't make people laugh. ”

"Cooking for the ancestors, who would laugh at it! Even if it's a joke, let people laugh at it, and the granddaughter is filial to her ancestors. The corners of Jinyi's eyes and eyebrows were all smiling, and her tone was slightly coquettish.

Old Madam Qin was happy when she heard this, she originally felt that Jinyi was dignified and calm, but there was a faint alienation in the courtesy, thinking that she would inevitably have some resentment in her heart, and when these two "old ancestors" called out, a trace of estrangement in her heart finally disappeared, and she was a little warmer than before.

After eating, Jin Yi laughed with him for a while, and then said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he said that he would come early tomorrow morning to ask his ancestors for peace, and then go to the Changfeng Marquis Mansion. Old Madam Qin responded with a smile, and sent her mother-in-law outside the house to turn on the lights and send her back to Fu Jinxuan.

Jin Ru was waiting for her on the kang crookedly, and when she saw her back, she jumped up and said, "The old lady is not happy?" ”

Jin Yi chuckled lightly and only said nothing.

Jinru quietly stuck out her tongue, "When you get to me tomorrow, there won't be so many rules to follow." Let's have a good time for two days. Let my brother take us to Zhongshan to hunt. ”

Jin Yiwaner, "You are going to get married if you don't accept it this day, but it's time to change it." ”

Cai Jing came in with a food tray and put it on the table, holding a bowl of shrimp and wontons in front of her. There are green vegetables on the side, and a few drops of small grinding sesame oil are dropped, and the smell is appetizing.

"Qiao Wei said you didn't eat much just now, let me make it for you. I'm not good at my craft, so I'll eat some of it. You're tired enough of the day. ”

Jin Yiqi just accompanied Mrs. Qin to eat, and she didn't eat, so she was really hungry at this time. picked up the chopsticks and asked, "Where is Qiaowei?" ”

"She was also screaming hungry, so I made two bowls, and she ate them in the kitchen by herself." Cai Jing replied with a smile.

Jin Yi nodded, ate most of the bowl of wontons, and then stopped chopsticks.

Cai Jing came over again, explained what she had packed up and was going to bring over tomorrow, and said, "The embroidery frame has been dismantled, and I wrapped a bag of embroidered cloth and silk threads." I didn't bring much silk thread, so it's good to come back and pick it up when the time comes. If you bring too many things, you are afraid that the people in the house will see them and talk again. ”

Jin Yi nodded in response, and couldn't help but look at her carefully. Cai Jing is clumsy on the lips, but she is extremely clever and discerning. It's a pity that he has too many secrets, except for Qiaowei, he can't let others touch them at all. Qiao Wei has been so busy since she came back that her feet don't touch the ground, and she has to take care of everything personally, which is really difficult for her.

Thinking about it, I sighed in my heart again. In the past few days since I came back, I have been busy non-stop, trying to win over and appease people's hearts, and trying my best to keep a low profile and not attract attention, and be cautious in everything, lest one accidentally fall into the trap.

I can't help but feel a little nostalgic for the old days. Although it is not as good as the current fine clothes and fine food, it is finally free and unrestrained.
