Ziqiang sent Ming Mei away, and when she entered the door, she saw Meng Xinniang sitting there with a solemn expression, looking like she was facing a great enemy, and couldn't help but be curious, "Princess Shizi, what did Aunt Mei tell you?" ”

Meng Xinniang glanced at her back to her senses, "Tell Zhu Xianjia to come to see me immediately." ”

Ziqiang's eyes flashed, and she answered "yes". Exit the door and call a little girl to call Zhu Xian's family to come over.

By the way, I took a pot of herbal tea and brought it back, and seeing that Meng Xinniang still had no intention of communicating with her, I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my heart. She thinks that she has worked hard enough, but in the heart of the princess, she is still not as good as Hongfu and Bai Shao.

In the past, no matter what happened, the princess would discuss with Hongfu and Bai Shao, but she had reservations about her from time to time, telling her that she couldn't get the point if she wanted to work.

Zhu Xian's family came quickly, panting, sweating all the way, obviously trotting all the way.

Meng Xinniang sent Ziqiang out, and muttered to Zhu Xian's family in the room for a long time, and Zhu Xian's family left in a hurry with a letter in his sleeve.

Zhou Run's first birthday is over, followed by the Dragon Boat Festival, women are busy making zongzi, making sachets, and soaking pu wine, and men are busy playing mugwort leaves and lacquering dragon boats.

Ordinary people here in Jinan are accustomed to wrapping mistletoe leaf dumplings, which are shaped like pillows, flat and long, and two are tied together in pairs. There are few white glutinous rice, most of them are sticky millet or rhubarb rice, and each zongzi should be wrapped with more than ten red dates, and a bite is full of sweet and fragrant mouths.

Only wealthy families wrap reed leaf dumplings and wrap them into delicate quadrangular shapes. The fillings are also varied, in addition to red dates, there are also pine nuts, preserved fruits, chestnut kernels, bean paste, salted egg yolks, and mushroom bacon......

Whether it is a mistletoe dumpling or a reed leaf dumpling, they all pay attention to the word "big", and a zongzi is the size of an adult's fist. People with an average amount of food will basically be full if they eat one. There are also people who deliberately make the zongzi very large. The whole family sits together and shares together.

Jian Ying is a foodie, every time she goes back to the Dragon Boat Festival, she can't eat all the stuffing zongzi, she used to have a big heart and a thin wallet, but now she doesn't have to worry about money. I hate that my stomach is too small.

In order to realize the ideal of eating it all. He instructed the small kitchen to make the rice dumplings as small as possible. Peel it off, each one is the size of your thumb, and there is no pressure to take a bite at a time. He also specially asked someone to wrap a few pots of unstuffed ones and use them to make fried zongzi.

Zhou Qin laughed at her for doing this too much at first. Isn't it the same to say cut and eaten? Later, I found that this kind of small zongzi was just right for the children to eat, so I took out my own body silver, bought a lot of materials, and asked someone to wrap a few pots of small zongzi and send them to Lihuayuan.

Fang's is a southerner, pay attention to the food exquisitely, has been in the countryside before, at first glance to see this kind of small zongzi quite surprised, but also inspired by this, ordered people to wrap more, each hundred tied into a braid, as the Dragon Boat Festival gift sent to the provinces.

Every household wraps zongzi, there is no shortage of this bite, and giving gifts is also going through the motions, naturally the more novelty the better.

The palace opened this head, and there were many followers, and "pearl dumplings" also appeared in major restaurants.

Jian Ying realized that she had missed a business opportunity, and hurriedly called someone to remind Huang Zun that she could not only cook zongzi, but also fry zongzi, fry zongzi, fry zongzi, and stew zongzi......

Huang Zun tried selling it in the restaurant a few times, and the response was really good, but it was a pity that in less than a day, he asked others to follow suit. So there were steamed zongzi, sugar water zongzi, potsticker zongzi......

Jian Ying stayed for a long time after hearing this, and then held her forehead and sighed: "The zongzi circle is so messy!" ”

Zhou Shu couldn't help laughing, "That's also messed up by the lady." ”

"Who can blame me for this?" Jian Ying said that she was very innocent, "If you want to blame, you can only blame the people for their plagiarism ability and recreation ability." ”

As he was talking, he saw Xueqin probing at the door, so he beckoned to her, "Something to say come in." ”

Xueqin lifted the bamboo curtain and came in, "Second young lady, Xiao Ji went to give her godbrother zongzi, and she hasn't come back until now." ”

"Really?" Jian Ying was a little surprised, "Didn't she go out with Mrs. Li?" Have you asked someone to go to Mrs. Li and ask? ”

"I asked, and Mrs. Li said that she hadn't seen Xiaoji for a day today."

"So she went out on her own?" Jian Ying suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

In the past, Xiao Ji went out either with Mrs. Li or with Yuan Fang. This time it was the Dragon Boat Festival, Yuan Fang's family went to visit relatives, Xiao Ji said that she wanted to go out, she thought it was with Mrs. Li, so she didn't ask in detail.

"What about the door, have you ever asked?"

"I also asked, and said that no one had ever come to deliver the letter." Xueqin had a worried look on her face that couldn't be concealed, "Second Young Lady, something shouldn't happen to Xiao Ji, right?" ”

Jian Ying's heart sank again, Xiao Ji often went out of the house, and every time she went out, it would not take more than two hours, if something was delayed, she would also send someone to leave a message on the door, like this, she went out for most of the day without news, but it was the first time.

After a little hesitation, he ordered: "You go to Pozi Li in person, and ask her kid to go to Luo Yuzhu to see if Xiao Ji is with him." ”

"Yes." Xueqin said yes and hurried away.

Zhou Shu saw Jian Ying's face was heavy, and reached out and pressed it on her shoulder, "Recently, a night market has been opened, and children are greedy for fun, so it's okay to go out for a while." Maybe I'll be back in a while, so don't worry about it. ”

"I hope so." Jian Ying said so on her lips, but her heart was full of emotions. Xiao Ji is by no means a playful child, and he doesn't want the night market to be fresh, so he lingers outside the house.

Xueqin went for more than half an hour to return, and when she entered the door, she shouted "Oh no", "...... Luo Yuzhu said that Xiao Ji didn't go to him at all today, and the last time he saw Xiao Ji was a few days ago. ”

"Didn't go?!" Jian Ying's face changed greatly, "What about Luo Yuzhu?" ”

"He took people along the street to inquire, saying that he would report to Mrs. Li as soon as there was news." Xueqin said hurriedly.

Jian Ying took two deep breaths and pressed her chaotic thoughts, "It's been so long, I'm afraid it's useless to ask along the street." ”

Turning his head to look at Zhou Shu, "Are there any of your people who are familiar with the industry of shooting flowers?" Do you know where the little girl will be sold if she is abducted? ”

"Don't worry, I'll call someone to inquire immediately." Zhou Shu comforted her a few words, and then went to the tea garden to arrange it in person.

Hui Bai was sitting with Long Jing, Hou Kui, and Cuifeng to eat together, and when he heard that Xiao Ji was gone, his hand shook and he buttoned the whole bowl of soup and rice on the placket of his clothes. The person who has always been slow to swallow was so anxious that his eyes were red, "Second Young Master, what happened?" Xiaodi is a big living person, how could he lose his good place? ”

"I don't know exactly what's going on......"

Before Zhou Shu finished speaking, Hui Bai threw his chopsticks and ran out, "I'll look for her." ”

"I'll go with him." Cui Feng chased after him.

Monkey Kui was so anxious that he shouted outside the door, "You two stupid people, you have to know where to look for someone, what's the matter with rushing out so headlessly?" ”
