025: Cliché
Shen Niannian had a habit of making porridge in the past, that is, to use fresh broth to cook porridge.
Unlike other people's habit of making porridge, she likes to boil fresh broth before putting the soaked polished rice in it.
Therefore, the porridge made also has a strong umami flavor.
Uncle Lizheng's family can see that they really value their eldest cousin, and they can get fresh ingredients even in this winter.
Of course, it is said that Li Jiaheng asked a friend in his county to get it, and he spent hundreds of dollars on the food he made for Du Shengnian in the past two days, and even Shen Niannian was surprised.
After all, it is not easy for this peasant family to make money, a few hundred dollars is enough for a family to eat for ten days, and it is good that Uncle Zheng here is willing to spend so much money on an outsider, and Wang Sanniang does not seem to object.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
Although this mountain savage family has a simple temperament, there is no need to do this, I just don't know what the idea of Uncle Zheng's family here is.
Shen Niannian looked at the raging flames, the air was already wafting a thick aroma of meat porridge, and when the heat was almost there, he took out a clean cup, carefully filled most of it, and then took two small bowls and two spoons, and then took a wooden plate and sent it to them.
Since the day before yesterday, when her eldest cousin officially settled in the Shen family, she has never set foot in that house again.
This is also what the Shen family ordered, after all, that Du Gongzi is a foreign man, and he doesn't look young, if she hangs in front of others, maybe there will be an old woman with a broken mouth in the village who starts to arrange her toad to eat swan meat, and she has fallen in love with the obviously extravagant military master.
Although Shen Niannian wanted to ask Du Shengnian about the whereabouts of his father and brother, he was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of others, so he kept holding on to it, and it was not until today that he got the opportunity.
"Du Gongzi, I'm in."
She had something in her hand, but she couldn't knock on the door, so she had to stand outside the door and shout.
Li Jiaheng, who was accompanying Du Shengnian, hurriedly opened the door, "Come in, eldest sister of the Shen family." ”
Shen Niannian entered the room with the things, put the things on the table, and then turned her head to look at the position of the bed, and saw that the eldest cousin was staring at her, but she was not uncomfortable, but smiled: "Du Gongzi has rested well in the past two days?" ”
Du Shengnian nodded, revealing a faint smile: "My body is already much better, and the matter of porridge will trouble Miss Shen." ”
"It's just a gesture, Du Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, just rest assured." Although he was eager to inquire about his family's whereabouts immediately, Shen Niannian still kept calm.
However, Li Jiaheng had already taken a small bowl very unceremoniously, began to scoop up the porridge, and sighed: "No wonder Brother Du has been talking about the meat porridge made by the eldest sister of the Shen family, your craftsmanship is indeed better than my mother, even if you smell it, it is more fragrant than what you ate two days ago." ”
"Brother Heng laughed, how can my skills be compared to those chefs in the county? You haven't eaten anything good, a bowl of meat porridge, isn't it all the same taste? Shen Niannian said with a light smile, knowing that this was just Li Jiaheng's polite words, after all, she still had a little bit of self-knowledge.
"Since the last time I ate the meat porridge made by Miss Shen, it reminds me of my cousin who died early, and the meat porridge you make uses a different taste."
Here, Du Shengnian took the porridge brought by Li Jiaheng and said with a hint of nostalgia for the past.
Shen Niannian's expression moved slightly, walked over and served a bowl to Li Jiaheng, and asked casually, "Is the cousin Du Gongzi said the cousin with the same surname as me last time?" ”
Du Shengnian stirred the porridge with a spoon and nodded: "In fact, it will be my cousin's birthday in a few days, but it's a pity that my uncle will definitely feel uncomfortable at that time." ”
There was a bit of sadness and regret on his handsome face, Shen Ningshuang was the cousin who had the best relationship with him, and even thought about begging his grandmother and aunt to talk about marrying his little cousin to him.
It's a pity that the old lady of the Shen family doesn't look down on him as a prince of Bofu, but she looks at the second son of the Bournehou Mansion differently, and he can also see that the little cousin has a good impression of Nayun Shangnan, so he has to give up.
But who knows, not long after my uncle offended the emperor and ended up being released, the news of the death of the little cousin came out from the Yun family.
The little cousin's health has always been very good, she has never had any serious illness since she was a child, and her mind is firmer than that of ordinary women, how could she die of illness after something happened to her mother's family?
If there were no ghosts in it, he wouldn't believe it.
It's just that now their Bofu has also been driven out of Kyoto because of the emperor's mediocrity, otherwise he would have come to the door to find out what was going on in the first place.
"Du Gongzi, please mourn, if your cousin Quanxia knows, you shouldn't want your family to be sad and sad for her, right?" Shen Niannian pursed her lips, her heart was uncomfortable, and her eyes were a little sour.
How she wished that she could put aside all her worries at this time and confess her identity to her eldest cousin.
But how can this kind of thing of borrowing corpses to resurrect souls make sense with her words? At that time, the eldest cousin will probably only suspect that she has another purpose, so he will talk nonsense......
"When my little cousin was not out of the cabinet, my uncle's favorite thing was the meat porridge she boiled out with her own hands, and I can sometimes rub it twice, so the first time I eat the porridge you boiled out Miss Shen, I will be so worried, please don't blame it." Du Sheng sighed young, and then drank the porridge.
However, Shen Niannian listened to the meaning of his words, secretly raised his eyebrows, and wondered: "Is that Miss Shen's father also in the same place as Du Gongzi now?" ”
"It's a long story......" Du Shengnian was about to speak, but was interrupted by the crying of children outside the door.
Li Jiaheng and Shen Niannian were both stunned, but they heard this voice very familiar, so they immediately pushed open the door and walked towards the courtyard, only to see that the courtyard door was wide open, Shen Xiuniang stood at the door with a gloomy face, and outside the door were the people of the Liu family who kept shouting and scolding.
Shen Niannian suddenly remembered what Qi Ge'er said when he passed by the Liu family before, could it be that the people of the Liu family are making trouble today?
But how did this get to her door?
"Brother Heng, go take care of Du Gongzi first, this should be a family matter, I'll go over and take a look." Shen Niannian was very upset by the noisy voices outside, before the eldest cousin was about to tell his father and their whereabouts now, this is good, but it was mixed up by the people of the Liu family!
"This Liu family is really messing around, eldest sister of the Shen family, you have to be careful."
Growing up in the village since he was a child, Li Jiaheng understands the shamelessness of the Liu family, and he doesn't want to go to join in the fun, he just feels bored.
Shen Niannian smiled reluctantly, and when Li Jiaheng entered the house, he sighed deeply and walked towards the door, "Mother, what's wrong with them?" ”
