Chapter 501: Cooking
Sun was in a good mood when he was coaxed by Zhang Yue, and he didn't have the leisure to find Ye Qinglan's stubble again. After a few casual words, everyone dispersed.
Ye Qinglan tried her best to adapt to her new identity, and after leaving Shunyi Hall, she obediently followed behind Mrs. Zheng. Seeing this, Gu Xiyu also followed.
Fan was about to lead the three children to follow, but Mrs. Zheng gave a faint order: "Didn't Brother Yun'er's hand break?" Don't come with you, take Brother Yun back to the yard, wash it and put some medicine, so as not to leave a scar. ”
…… Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing. I didn't expect my mother-in-law to hurt people so badly. Brother Yun'er's little sesame seed on his hand, how could it be a scar!
Fan smiled a little sneeringly: "Yes, then the daughter-in-law will go back." After thinking about it, he was a little unwilling, and added: "At noon, my daughter-in-law will go to Jingxin Garden to serve you ...... dinner."
"No need!" Mrs. Zheng lightly refused: "You still have to take care of three children, it's busy enough." Just have Yu'er and Qinglan waiting for you. ”
Fan tried very hard to maintain his smile, and it was not until Mrs. Zheng and the three figures disappeared that the smile was completely gone.
Sister Xian'er asked timidly: "Mother, will we go back now?" ”
Fan was in an irritable mood, and immediately glared at her: "Where do you want to go if you don't go back!" If you want to go to Jingxin Garden, you have to see if people welcome you! ”
Sister Xian was so fierce by her, and suddenly cried with a flat mouth. Fan's mood was bad, how could he still have the heart to coax the child, and impatiently pulled Sister Xian'er: "Okay, okay, don't cry." I know how to cry and cry all day long, and it's almost the same as your useless dad. I don't have the ability to do anything else......"
The maids and ladies spontaneously shrunk their necks, but they didn't hear Fan's series of ramblings. Sister Xian wiped her tears. Follow behind Fan. Sister Hui didn't say a word and followed silently. When Fan didn't pay attention. Quietly turned his head and glanced in the direction of Jing Xinyuan.
The new aunt is so beautiful, gentle and kind. No wonder grandmother and aunt like aunt, but don't like her mother. If she wasn't her mother's daughter, she probably wouldn't like a woman like her mother......
In the past few days of marriage, this is the first time that Ye Qinglan has really stayed with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zheng. Fortunately, with Gu Xiyu by his side, there is no need to bother thinking about the topic.
Gu Xiyu said with an unhappy face: "As soon as my sister-in-law passed the door, my grandmother picked thorns everywhere. I really don't know where my sister-in-law provoked her. ”
The Sun family worked hard to find faults, and even Gu Xiyu could see it.
Mrs. Zheng is kind-hearted by nature and does not like to speak ill of others behind her back. said lightly: "Your grandmother does this, naturally she has her thoughts and reasons. Don't talk about it behind your back, it won't be good if it reaches your grandmother's ears. ”
The Sun family treated Ye Qinglan like this, in fact, he deliberately gave Changfang no face, and Mrs. Zheng was very unhappy when she saw it in her eyes. But her natural and gentle temperament makes her unable to say anything drastic, let alone react violently.
Gu Xiyu wanted to say something more, but Ye Qinglan smiled softly: "I know you feel sorry for me." You really don't have to worry about me, though. Think about it, when have I ever suffered a loss from someone else? ”
Gu Xiyu thought about it, isn't that so? Several times in a row. Sun couldn't please him with his tongue. Instead, Ye Qinglan was speechless with anger......
Ye Qinglan smiled and opened the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things." I've been learning to cook in the house for the past year, although my cooking skills are not very good. But I was able to cook a few dishes. At noon today, I will recommend myself, how about making a few dishes and inviting my mother-in-law and sister Xiyu to taste? ”
Gu Xiyu's eyes lit up. nodded in response. She has never tasted the dishes made by Ye Qinglan herself, so she has to eat a little more at noon today!
Ye Qinglan looked at Mrs. Zheng expectantly.
It stands to reason. The bride should indeed cook and show her hand when she comes to the door. This also means that the mother-in-law will comment on her cooking skills. Mrs. Zheng thought about it, then nodded, and added gently: "Don't burn your hands." ”
The meaning of concern is beyond words.
Ye Qinglan's heart warmed, and she smiled confidently: "Mother-in-law, just rest assured!" No matter how bad my cooking skills are, I will never get burned. ”
Gu Xiyu also had the idea of joining in the fun: "When you go to the kitchen, I will go too." ”
Ye Qinglan had expected Gu Xiyu to have this reaction, and subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Zheng. Sure enough, Mrs. Zheng said angrily: "What's so fun in the kitchen." It's greasy and hot, and you better not go. "Gu Xiyu grew up with brocade clothes and jade food, and she didn't even know what the kitchen was like. The standard ten fingers do not touch the spring!
Gu Xiyu insisted on going: "Sister-in-law can go, why can't I go?" ”
How are you the same as her. Mrs. Zheng almost blurted out, but fortunately swallowed this sentence in time, and coaxed instead: "You are still young now, and it is not too late to enter the kitchen to learn to cook after the New Year." ”
Gu Xiyu opened her black and white eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "However, I am obviously one year older than my sister-in-law. ”
…… Mrs. Zheng remembered with some nostalgia that she had been a supple and obedient daughter in the past, and almost never argued with her. But now, the reaction is much sharper than before. A sentence pops up from time to time, and she can't say a word!
Ye Qinglan smiled and started the round: "Sister Xiyu, my mother-in-law ordered this for your sake." Although I am a year younger than you, I have been learning cooking with the chef since I made up my mind. It's okay to come into the kitchen at any time. But you've never been in the kitchen, it's smoky and smelly, and you're not used to it. If you're really interested in cooking, you might as well learn some in the future. Don't rush to follow me into the kitchen today, don't you? ”
These words were reasonable, and Gu Xiyu nodded unconsciously.
Mrs. Zheng glanced at Ye Qinglan approvingly, and said in her voice: "What Qinglan said is reasonable. Yu'er, if you are really interested in cooking, tomorrow I will choose a chef with excellent cooking skills for you. ”
Gu Xiyu said unexpectedly: "You don't need a cook, just have a sister-in-law to teach me." ”
Mrs. Zheng: "......"
Ye Qinglan coughed and honestly admitted: "Actually, although I have studied for a year, I can only cook some home-cooked dishes." There are only five or six dishes that can really be used. I'm embarrassed to teach you this little bit of cooking. ”
Gu Xinian smiled without mind: "There are a lot of five or six dishes, I'll learn from you first." ”
Ye Qinglan saw that Mrs. Zheng was smiling and had no displeasure, so she smiled and nodded in response.
There are three cooks in the kitchen of Jing Xin Yuan, one is good at making all kinds of pastries, one is good at cooking, and the other is good at making porridge and soup. Near noon, the cooks got the news that the young grandmother was going to enter the kitchen, so they spontaneously started to do it.
When Ye Qinglan entered the kitchen, all kinds of side dishes had been cut and placed neatly, and her knife skills were exquisite, which made her really embarrassed to be a half-baked cook.
was busy in the kitchen for a noon, and brought out six dishes and one soup, which was also decent.
Sweet and sour fish, braised pork feet, stewed eight-treasure duck, braised eggplant, boiled liver tips, mushroom greens, and a large bowl of jade white jade soup are neatly placed on the dining table, exuding a steaming heat and aroma, which is quite attractive.
Mrs. Zheng sat at the dinner table, and before she moved her chopsticks, she smiled and praised: "The color and fragrance are all there, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into cooking." ”
Ye Qinglan smiled in a low-key and humble manner: "Mother-in-law has won the award, let's taste it first!" "Learning to cook is much more enjoyable than learning to be a female celebrity, so in the past year, she has really put in a lot of effort. Naturally, it can't be compared with the chef's skills, but it's barely able to see people.
Mrs. Zheng picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully, the fish meat was delicate, sweet and sour, and the taste was unexpectedly good. Naturally, I took another bite.
This gesture is more comfortable than any praise.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled. Thinking about it now, I suddenly felt grateful to the Xue family that day. Although the Xue family didn't have any good intentions, he deliberately let her learn this and that at that time, it was clear that he was deliberately tossing her. But she was able to learn cooking skills and female celebrity in just one year, thanks to Xue's encouragement.
Gu Xiyu tasted the braised eggplant in oil and exclaimed: "Sister-in-law, you were so modest just now." I think your stewed eggplant is better than the cook's! ”
Ye Qinglan was praised for her physical and mental pleasure, and with a smile, she picked up a piece of braised eggplant and put it in Gu Xiyu's bowl: "If you like it, eat more." In the future, I will cook for you when I have time. ”
The atmosphere of this meal was harmonious and the meal was very pleasant. Mrs. Zheng made an exception and ate an extra bowl before putting her chopsticks aside.
After the meal, Mrs. Zheng had to take a nap. Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu retired together, came out of Jingxin Garden, and returned to Izumo Xuan together.
The two used to stay together like this, sometimes chatting and talking, sometimes practicing calligraphy and painting, and sometimes practicing needlework together. The things that were originally a little boring, but when someone accompanies them, it also seems to be delicious. Soon, time slipped by.
When Gu Xinian stepped into the house, what he saw was the intimate appearance of his sister-in-law leaning her head against her head and whispering and laughing. Hearing his footsteps, two pretty faces raised in unison. All of them were smiling, one shouted "big brother", and the other shouted "Xianggong".
Gu Xinian's impetuous heart for a whole day instantly became calm and peaceful, the corners of his lips were raised, and there was a smile in his dark eyes: "Shouldn't you two stay together all afternoon!" ”
Gu Xiyu nodded as a matter of course: "Yes!" We had lunch in Jingxin Garden and then went back to Yunxuan. I wanted to go to the study to paint, but I didn't bother to go over, so I just sat in the room and chatted. By the way, he also sighed: "It's really good that the eldest brother is married, and I can be with my sister-in-law every day in the future!" ”
Gu Xinian: "......"——
There is something at home today, so I can only change it ~ You don't have to wait ~ I'm sorry ~ (^_^) ~ I will resume two changes tomorrow ~ (to be continued......)
