Chapter 481: Coming in vain
Cheng Xuehuai said this, whether it was Gan or Linglong, they would not continue on the topic of Dong Ting.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Linglong left them for lunch.
Gan smiled and excused herself: "The eldest sister's nurse has returned to her hometown on leave, the eldest sister is used to her, no one can coax her, I have been out for two hours, and I don't know what she is crying again. ”
The eldest sister in Gan's mouth is her daughter, who is just two years old.
The eldest lady of the Linjiang Hou Mansion, there are not twenty but fifteen maids and wives waiting around her, so why worry about the Gan family.
When she said this, it was nothing more than a pretext.
Linglong also knew that she had no face today, so she was embarrassed to stay for dinner, so she didn't keep it any longer, so she let Xingyu open a small warehouse, took an enamel filigree music box from the West, and asked Gan to bring it to the eldest sister.
"The objects from the West are also exquisite, and the eldest sister may like them."
Such a music box in Jinzhenxuan costs thirty taels!
"Princess, this is too precious to be handled." Gan hurriedly excused himself.
Linglong smiled: "For children's play, what do you say, I can be regarded as the elder of the eldest sister." ”
Given by the elders, it is impossible to resign.
Gan thanked the eldest sister and left.
No one expected that Cheng Xuehuai came with Gan's, but she didn't go with Gan's.
She stayed for dinner with a big smile.
Large families do not attach importance to lunch, although it is a banquet, but it is only a communication between female dependents, and there is no need to be solemn.
Cheng Xuehuai was very curious about the food on the table.
The snow-white noodles are served with more than 20 kinds of soup, such as braised pork, braised duck, shredded eel, spiced pork ribs, scallion oil, red oil, and shiitake mushrooms
"How do you eat this? Do you put each of them? Cheng Xuehuai's eyes widened.
Linglong smiled: "You can put whatever you want to eat, this is the capital is not in Gusu City, it doesn't matter if you put each of them." ”
Cheng Xuehuai grinned: "Since you don't have to talk about the rules, then I'll try each of them." ”
She put more than 20 kinds of soup, and she put each of them.
The original blue and white soup bowl couldn't fit it, so I had to replace it with a huge glazed red soup pot.
The big soup pot was originally used for soup, and a banquet for ten people was just such a pot of soup.
Cheng Xuehuai had such a big soup bowl in front of him, and it was full.
The maids in the palace all know the rules, waiting on the side, but no one looks at the big bowl, how can there be a female family with such a big bowl, such an embarrassing scene, it is better to see less.
But Cheng Xuehuai is leisurely.
She sat at the kang table, eating noodles with her head buried in the big basin, which at first glance looked like she was washing her face.
"Princess, your noodles are really interesting, and it's the first time I've seen so much soup. Tomorrow, I asked my cook to do the same. ”
Linglong: "At that moment, let the cook write the recipe and bring it back for you." ”
"That's good, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it."
Linglong looked at the big pot of noodles in front of Cheng Xuehuai, thinking that she couldn't finish it, so she had to find a reason for her, so as not to be too embarrassed if she couldn't finish it.
Linglong guessed wrong, Cheng Xuehuai not only ate all the pots of noodles, but also drank two bowls of soup without getting enough.
Linglong usually eats a lot, but seeing Cheng Xuehuai's way of eating, she still sighs to herself.
However, she caught a glimpse of Cheng Xuehuai's slightly bulging ****, and she understood.
Cheng Xuehuai, like her, is growing up.
"Have you eaten enough? Why don't you have another bowl," Linglong asked, adding, "I've always felt hungry these days, and sometimes I wake up hungry in the middle of the night." ”
Cheng Xuehuai laughed: "Me too, I woke up hungry last night, but there was nothing prepared in the house, fortunately, Shizi was not on duty in the palace last night, and he went to the kitchen to steal two cold buns for me." ”
Cheng Xuehuai is the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Jiashan, Princess Jiashan is the aunt of Emperor Jingwen, in terms of seniority, Cheng Xuehuai is Yan Xu's cousin.
Such a noble girl, after marrying into her husband's family, can't be as comfortable as in her mother's family, and if she wants to eat at night, she can only ask her husband to steal it back for her.
There are in-laws and uncles and sisters-in-law, which is normal in large households. It is rare that Cheng Xuehuai can even say such a thing generously.
Linglong's affection for her is even more layered.
"I'm okay, whenever I wake up hungry, the prince happens to want to eat, once or twice, I don't dare to turn off the fire in the small kitchen, leave someone on duty all night, and wait for the prince to pass the meal at any time."
Cheng Xuehuai was so envious: "I saw Lord Rui a while ago, he seems to have grown taller than during the Chinese New Year, no wonder he is eighteen years old and still growing taller, so he has to eat at night." ”
That means how happy it is to have a prince who can eat at night, and you can eat with it.
Linglong couldn't bear to laugh, Gan Ming was already very cute, and her sister-in-law was also a wonderful person.
"That's right, all the clothes I sewed for him when I first passed the door were short, and I will make clothes for him when I have time to do so, if you don't have a small kitchen, you can get a charcoal stove, and let the maid cook some porridge when you are hungry at night."
Cheng Xuehuai had a bitter face: "My maid doesn't know how to cook." ”
Linglong wants to ask, don't you either? Or, even if you and your maids don't know how to cook, don't you even know how to cook porridge?
It was not surprising that she remembered that the women of the Gan family would not do the things of female celebrities.
"Prepare some snacks or something, and eat them when the time comes." Linglong kindly suggested, but then I remembered that the large kitchen managed by the special person in the house was afraid that it would be inconvenient to prepare a lot of dim sum, unless I bought it from the street.
The two became enthusiastic as they talked, from the food at home to the snacks of Gui Shunzhai, and then to the wine and food of Hongbin Building.
"To tell you a secret, the prince took me to Hongbin Tower, that time I pestered him to go, but he couldn't resist it, so he asked me to put on the clothes of a little girl and take me with me."
Linglong blinked her eyes wide and whispered, "What a coincidence, the prince also took me there." ”
Cheng Xuehuai was stunned and a little surprised: "The prince is willing to take you there?" I thought only my family would do that. It seems that he is not bad to you, I came for nothing. ”
The last four words are true.
Linglong was stunned for a moment, and with a wink, the maids withdrew in a witty manner.
"You can't hide it from me if you eat my noodles, why did you come for nothing?" treats people like Cheng Xuehuai, you can't just go straight like you did with Gan.
Cheng Xuehuai raised her eyes and looked at her from one glance to the next: "Do you think I am willing to come to see the eldest sister to be a matchmaker for your maid, I am most annoyed by these mothers-in-law." It wasn't because someone begged me for a long time and promised to let the little bird who sang the single string come and sing it for me for three days, so I came here. By the way, I also know that my twelfth cousin is not here, otherwise I wouldn't have come. ”
Linglong had already guessed who it was.
