Chapter 40 Dragon Boat Festival, Mujia customs
Thinking that her mother-in-law would be in charge of the family in the future, and no one would press her up, Shen Zhuru couldn't help but sigh, she could already predict the misery of the future.
Now she can only pray that Mu Fenghua will not find trouble for her, she also plans to be a low-key person, mix for a while, and plan well.
"Young lady, isn't it unappetizing?" Yusu looked at Shen Zhuru sighing at a bowl of dessert and couldn't help asking.
"Yuxu, you said that Mrs. will be the master of the house in the future, without the old lady pressing on her head, with her dislike of me, do you think it is possible, Mrs. will be embarrassed with me regardless of my injury at the moment?"
Yuxu couldn't help but laugh.
"Young lady, you think too much. Although Madame doesn't like the young lady, she didn't punish you because the young lady was tired of the young master. Even this time, wasn't it because of the problem with the rouge that the young lady gave to the lady, so he punished the young lady? ”
"That's right."
If you think about it, it's because of some reason that I'm tired of sinning.
Mother-in-law Mu Liu Xinyue did not ask her for trouble at will because she didn't like her.
But she was worried about the sky and scared herself.
"Lady, lady, come and see, zongzi, a lot of zongzi." Mu Fenghua's happy voice came from far and wide from outside the door, with a burst of the aroma of zongzi, but he saw Mu Fenghua carrying dozens of small zongzi in both hands, and Qibao who followed behind him was also idle in his hands, and he also came with a lot of zongzi.
"How do you take so many rice dumplings? Are you going to open a zongzi shop? Shen Zhuru said with a smile and a smile.
"Lady, the zongzi are delicious, you see which one you like, I'll give it to you." Mu Fenghua said with a smile, just stuffed all the zongzi into her bed, fortunately he still knew that he was injured, otherwise the wound on his body would have been touched by this zongzi, and Shen Zhuru would have the heart to eat people.
"Take some away first, even if you want to eat it, let me know what these zongzi taste like, and it's easy to choose." Shen Zhuru stretched out her hand and gently pushed it away, and said with a smile.
"Yes, Qibao Qibao, hurry up and tell the lady what the flavor of this zongzi is." Mu Fenghua said and hung the zongzi in his hand directly on Qibao, clapped his hands, and sat on the round stool next to the bed, blinking innocently.
Qibao hung a rice dumpling on his body, and he replied with a smile at the corners of his mouth: "Young master, these zongzi you brought in a hurry have a total of five flavors, namely red beans, black beans, bacon, cabbage, candied fruit, and plums, pork belly and the like, all of which are usually made zongzi, because the old lady is not in the house this year, the original white water zongzi has not been wrapped this year, if the young lady has any favorite taste, you can talk to the slave, and the slave can immediately go to the kitchen and let the cook get it." ”
There are a lot of varieties, but they are all ordinary flavor zongzi, nothing special, Shen Zhuru will not make any zongzi for himself, these ready-made ones are good.
"There are a lot of flavors, and I don't have any special requirements, but since I have also made white water dumplings in previous years, I have also got some this year, even if the old lady is not there, you can also worship them in the Buddha hall, and it is not wasted."
"The minion understood."
"Lady, do you eat zongzi? Shall I choose one to feed you? Mu Fenghua asked with a look of anticipation.
"Oh well. I want to eat bacon zongzi, my mouth is a little light, and I want to eat some salty zongzi. ”
"Uh-huh. Wait, lady. ”
Mu Fenghua was full of interest to dial the zongzi for Shen Zhuru, took a plate and put the peeled zongzi on his head, ready to grab the zongzi and feed it to Shen Zhuru.
"Wait!"
Mu Fenghua tilted his head and looked at Shen Zhuru with a puzzled expression.
"Yueyang, you go and ask someone to take a piece of wood, carve it into a small fork with three forks, such a size, by the way, go and sharpen a piece of bamboo knife and bring it over, get a few more small forks, remember to boil it in hot water and bring it again."
Shen Zhuru said as she didn't forget to compare the shape and size of the fork.
"Yes, young lady." Yueyang comprehended the blessing and left, and he had already returned in about half an hour, bringing back three bamboo knives with daggers and a small fork with a palm.
Shen Zhuru took the knife and fork and signaled Mu Fenghua how to use it, and soon enjoyed Mu Fenghua's service and ate with relish.
Mu Fenghua was full of interest, Qibao's mind turned, and he ordered Yumian, asking her to take the sample and bring it to Li Bao, so that he could call the master of his own silver building and make it more exquisite according to his appearance.
Shen Zhuru didn't plan to get these things, but she happened to be injured, although the zongzi is not too big, but it takes three mouthfuls to eat a zongzi.
With a knife and fork, it is easy to cut small and eat.
Eating the rice dumplings that someone fed by herself, Shen Zhuru squinted her eyes and enjoyed it.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, so I ate one zongzi, and when I was about to eat the second one, my mother-in-law Mu Liu Xinyue, who had never been to Fenghua Garden, stepped into the house at this moment, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Mu Fenghua waiting for Shen Zhuru to eat, which stimulated the mother-in-law who had been holding her son in the palm of her hand and was afraid of melting.
"Shen Zhuru, you are so bold."
Worst!
As soon as she heard Mu Liu Xinyue's voice, the look on Shen Zhuru's face froze, and when she was seen calling Mu Fenghua like this, even if she didn't get hit by the board again, at least a scolding was inevitable.
"Mother-in-law. I ......"
"Mother, why are you yelling at the lady, I want to feed the lady, I want to kill you and me." Mu Fenghua stood up and spoke between the two.
Hearing her son speak like this, how could Mu Liu Xinyue be happy.
Holding it in the palm of her hand for fear of falling, the baby son who was afraid of melting in his mouth actually protected his daughter-in-law against her, Mu Liu Xinyue couldn't help but cover her chest and inhale heavily.
Slowly calmed down the anger in his heart, and looked at Shen Zhuru's eyes, which was called a cold.
But soon, Mu Liu Xinyue was sitting on the stool that the maid had moved, facing Shen Zhuru.
"Daughter-in-law, I see that you look good, and you want to recover well. This day flies quickly, and in a few days it will be the annual Dragon Boat Festival again. In previous years, every Dragon Boat Festival, the county would hold a dragon boat race by the river. ”
"The Mu family has always been the provider of zongzi used in the competition to sacrifice to the god of water, and every year on that day, nine different flavors of zongzi are offered, every year, without exception. Now that you are the daughter-in-law of my Mu family, this matter should also be handled by you and you, if you feel that your body is inconvenient to do it yourself, it should not be a big problem to move your mouth. ”
"I think I went through this experience when I got married, and now I also inherit the custom of your new daughter-in-law to take over this matter. At the time of the sacrifice, nine different flavors of zongzi were required and sacrificed to the god of water. ”
"Daughter-in-law, I think with your intelligence, this little thing should not be difficult for you. Of course, in order to prevent you from repeating the taste style of the past, I will order someone to make a sample of the previous zongzi and bring it to you to taste the taste. And the requirements of this zongzi are not particularly picky, as long as it feels different from the past and has new ideas, it can be regarded as passing. Daughter-in-law, no problem, right? ”
Sure enough, Shen Zhuru didn't think that her mother-in-law came to see her just to see her, but came with a purpose, and now it seems that it is indeed right.
