Chapter 509: Guest
But two quarters of an hour, Lu He knocked on the door outside and said, "Madam, the second master has entrusted someone to bring you a letter from the yamen." ”
That should be a very important matter, otherwise he would not have specially asked someone to bring the letter back.
Su Shanyun got up with a grunt, tidied up her clothes, and said, "Take it in." ”
Yan Jinxuan said in the letter, "The three princes and the three princesses will bring their daughter Zhu Yun over in the evening, and you can prepare more snacks and fruits for hospitality." The three princes love to drink Pu'er tea with wolfberries, red dates and white chrysanthemum, and the three princesses love to eat tofu rolls and taro cakes. ’
At home, I have the ingredients for Pu'er tea and tofu rolls, but the ingredients for taro cake are still a few things behind.
Su Shanyun had never made taro cakes, but he knew the method of taro cakes, so he instructed his subordinates: "Go and buy five catties of sticky rice noodles, two catties of bacon, five catties of taro, one catty of dried shrimp, half a catty of fungus, half a catty of green onions, and two taels of cinnamon." ”
As for the accessories needed for this snack, garlic, cooking wine, pepper, ginger and salt, these things are always available at home, so there is no need to buy them.
The subordinate wrote down the names and quantities of the ingredients, and went out to buy them.
Su Shanyun asked Mama Yang again: "How many fresh fruits are there at home?" How much is the amount of each? ”
Mama Yang hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Hui, there are apples, oranges, pomegranates, oranges, dates, bananas, persimmons, mangoes and pears, except for bananas and oranges, the amount of each is less than ten catties, and the rest are still more than ten or twenty catties. ”
"Well, that's enough. You ask the maid to take five pounds of each of them, wash them and put them on a plate. I want to use the blue and white porcelain plates from Jingdezhen. Su Shanyun instructed carefully.
Mama Yang took the order and left.
Within two quarters of an hour, the servant who had gone out to buy the ingredients came back with the ingredients.
Su Shanyun immediately called Mama Yang and Mama Song to make taro cakes together.
"You can also add a little purple sweet potato and shiitake mushrooms to the taro cake. It tastes better that way. Mama Song proposed.
It just so happened that there were five or six purple potatoes and two taels of dried shiitake mushrooms at home, so Su Shanyun immediately used them.
The three of them worked together to make three dishes of taro cake in less than two quarters of an hour.
Su Shanyun made a plate of pine nut sesame cakes by the way, which Yan Jinxuan likes to eat.
Then Su Shanyun ordered the kitchen to start cooking dinner.
When Su Shanyun came out of the kitchen, the housekeeper Ouyang Kuan trotted in and said, "Madam, the second master and the third prince and his wife have come back together and have arrived at the gate." ”
Su Shanyun hurriedly sorted out his clothes and went out to greet him.
Su Shanyun and the third imperial concubine Zhou Zhou have not seen each other for nearly a year.
When Zhou Zhou gave birth to her daughter, Su Shanyun was doing confinement, so there was no way to visit. Later, Yan Jinxuan went on an expedition, and she had to take care of the family's affairs, so she had no time.
Now we are about to meet. Su Shanyun was also quite pleased.
Although they are very welcome in my heart. However, because he thought that the Yan family would be beheaded in his previous life, and the year when this happened to the Yan family happened to be the year when the third prince ascended the throne, Su Shanyun was extremely careful.
And Su Shanyun also knew that Yan Jinxuan specially instructed her to do a good job of reception first, which was also to prevent omissions at that time.
After saluting according to the etiquette of the Ming Kingdom to receive the prince and the princess, Su Shanyun smiled and said to Zhou Zhou: "I haven't seen her for a year, but the princess is getting more and more beautiful." ”
Zhou Zhou also smiled and said, "You have also become beautiful." And reached out to take Su Shanyun's hand.
Zhou Zhou's daughter was held by a designated nurse.
Su Shanyun stepped forward to take a look.
The little baby looks very similar to the third prince.
"Ouch. What a pretty! Su Shanyun praised.
"It's good that it's not like me. If only I hadn't been so pretty. Zhou Zhou said with a smile.
Over there. The Third Prince and Yan Jinxuan have already taken the lead.
Su Shanyun and Zhou Zhou followed.
"Lord Yan has become more and more handsome and mighty since he married you." Zhou Zhou whispered in Su Shanyun's ear.
Su Shanyun blushed and smiled.
Entering the living room, the third prince and Zhou Zhou found that the table was already full of food for hospitality.
Seeing the tofu skin rolls and taro cakes, Zhou Zhou was very happy. Seeing that there was red dates, wolfberries, and white chrysanthemum Pu'er tea that the three princes liked to drink, her joy was revealed on her face.
"Prepared in a hurry, things are simple, and I hope the three princes and the three princesses will not be surprised." Su Shanyun said while pouring them tea.
"It's not about the many, it's about the heart." Zhou Zhou said.
Su Shanyun can cook food for hospitality according to their preferences, which shows her hospitality.
However, Zhou Zhou also found that the atmosphere of the meeting between the two this time was not as harmonious as before.
Although Su Shanyun was always smiling and the hospitality was perfect, she was still keenly aware that the distance between their hearts had become distant.
Could it be because we haven't seen each other for a long time? Zhou Zhou thought to himself.
Su Shanyun also noticed Zhou Zhou's psychological changes, and said to her with a smile: "The folk girl is not good at words, please forgive me if there is anything that I can't greet." ”
"You're so polite, Shanyun." Zhou Zhou said with a smile.
Su Shanyun smiled and sat down beside Yan Jinxuan.
Because she was next to Yan Jinxuan, Su Shanyun regained her composure.
"The imperial concubine nagged with this king last month, saying that she wanted to come to see you and Brother Liang, I was busy with affairs before, and I didn't have time to bring her here. I happened to be free this afternoon, so I took her for a walk. The third prince explained to Su Shanyun.
Su Shanyun hurriedly thanked him.
As soon as he raised his eyes, just in time to meet the fiery gaze of the third prince, Su Shanyun's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly turned his gaze away.
The third prince also hurriedly picked up the tea to hide his expression.
But this scene was seen by Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou remained silent.
Before long, Zhou Zhou reached out and picked up a piece of taro cake to taste.
"It tastes good, better than what our chef makes." Zhou Zhou praised.
He asked Su Shanyun what raw materials he used.
Su Shanyun replied truthfully.
"It turned out to be purple sweet potato and shiitake mushrooms, no wonder it tasted so good. Then I'll let the chef do the same next time. Zhou Zhou smiled.
"The folk girl didn't understand it, she was taught by a grandmother." Su Shanyun said modestly.
The third prince heard that Su Shanyun made it himself, so he also picked up a piece and tasted it.
"This Wang Yuan only knew that Mrs. Su was very good at drawing pictures of ladies, and she didn't expect that her cooking skills were so good." The third prince praised.
"The Three Princes have won the prize!" Su Shanyun said busily.
In order to prevent too many mistakes, Su Shanyun hurriedly beckoned them to eat.
They were not polite, and ate the snack and fruit with relish.
After eating a round of food, Yan Jinxuan and the third prince went to listen to Li Pavilion, and Su Shanyun and Zhou Zhou went to the room to talk.
Just when Brother Liang woke up, Zhou Zhou hugged Brother Liang and looked at it for a while.
"Brother Liang looks very similar to Lord Yan." Zhou Zhou said.
"Yes." Su Shanyun nodded.
Zhou Zhou thought of Yan Jinxuan's refusal to marry their family, and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward in his heart. But fortunately, she is not a person with a small belly, so she quickly adjusted, and stuffed a big red envelope into Brother Liang'er's pocket with a smile.
Su Shanyun also hurriedly gave Zhu Yun a big red envelope.
"When are you going to come to the East Palace?" Zhou Zhou took Su Shanyun's hand and asked.
In her impression, Su Shanyun didn't seem to have been to Dongwangfu yet.
Su Shanyun has always been afraid of meeting the third prince, where did he dare to take the initiative to go to the East Palace? Yan Jinxuan also knew this, so she never asked her to go.
Now that Zhou Zhou asked like this, Su Shanyun suddenly didn't know how to answer. (To be continued.) )
