Chapter 340: Laba Porridge
Yahe Garden, the night is not too thick, the days of winter are short, I had dinner early, Fang Yage finished bathing, and asked Bai Zhi to twist her hair with a cotton towel, it is winter, not as good as summer, although the brazier in the house is prosperous, I don't dare to be careless, I dry my hair immediately after washing, for fear of attracting the wind and cold.
There was the sound of the cotton curtain hitting the door frame outside, Fang Yage raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Zi Su walking in, although he was wearing a fur shoulder, he couldn't stop the cold.
"Quick, sit down and warm up."
As soon as Fang Yage said, Bai Zhi hurriedly helped Zi Su bring a small pestle, Zi Su sat on the small pestle and roasted his hands against the brazier, Bai Zhi knew that Zi Su was going to Ning Chunju. Now Bai Zhi also understands more or less that Shisu often does some confidential things for the county lord.
"How's it going over there, have they all gone back?" Fang Yage asked at Zi Su.
"I went back before dinner, the eldest young master went to the outer courtyard, and the second lady went back to Rongyang Hall. I waited in Ning Chunju for a while, wanting to hear what their masters and servants had to say. ”
Zi Su was also surprised that Min Fanghua could think about things so thoroughly, afraid that she was a master who was in front of her and behind her, so she stayed on the roof of Ning Chunju for a while longer, wanting to hear Min Fanghua's true thoughts. Unexpectedly, what she said with Mama Zhou was consistent with what the other party Yahou and Fang Yahuan said.
"What do you think, county lord?" Bai Zhi also felt incredible when she heard Zisu's words, this Min Fanghua seemed to be a different person, and the difference between before and after was too great.
"Now that Zisu has heard it, presumably this Aunt Min is telling the truth. Even if it's not the truth, what's the matter, anyway, she is grounded, she wants to come out, how can it be so easy, how much more storm can she set off if she locks people up. ”
Regardless of whether Min Fanghua has changed or not, Fang Yage will never forget the scene where their mother and daughter's lives hung by a thread in Daxiangguo Temple, and they want her to forgive Min Fanghua, why.
"I'm just curious, people say. The country is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to change. This Aunt Min's changes are too great. "Angelica is just pure curiosity.
"Hehe, yes, the nature of the country is easy to change, where is this nature so easy to change." Fang Yage said with a smile.
"The county lord. You mean she's deliberately lying to us? Shiso hurriedly asked. She really didn't see it. This Aunt Min is actually acting.
"No, she shouldn't delay her children's future for the sake of acting, I think these words are from the bottom of my heart. It's just that I'm sighing that this Aunt Min is really smart. So, what did she marry her father for back then, if it was really for affection, it must not be so easy to let go. Only if she is sensible enough can she see her mistakes clearly after experiencing the big ups and downs. ”
Bai Zhi felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, her feelings were the most hurtful and the most obsessive, and she woke up so easily, which showed that her feelings were not deep. Thinking of Aunt Min's competition for favor in the past, thinking of her and the general who have been rumored in the house over the years, hehe, it turns out that it is just a sharp word.
Thinking of this, the three of them were silent, the crackling sound of the charcoal fire in the brazier was particularly clear, and the three girls all had a new understanding of love.
"County Lord, the kitchen is boiling Laba porridge, it is made according to the recipe given by the county lord, I smell it, it is fragrant."
A voice came, it turned out to be the little maid Ai Ye, this gluttonous person, since he knew that Fang Yage was going to make a new Laba porridge this year, he grew up in the kitchen, and when he saw that the Laba porridge was boiled, he came back to report to Fang Yage.
Listening to Ai Ye's words, the atmosphere in the house became a little more cheerful, it is a custom to eat Laba porridge on the eighth day of the lunar month, every household has to boil it, and to send it to close people, and this Laba porridge is also varied, ordinary people will put some ordinary beans and cereals, and relatively better people will put some dried fruits into it.
However, the princess's mansion and the general's mansion are not deep, and in addition to a few princes and princes' mansions over the years, they will also send a copy to the princess's mansion, and there are no in-laws or good families that need to be sent back, so it is also quiet.
This year, Fang Yage came up with his own recipe, adjusted several ingredients in Laba porridge, let the big kitchen boil on low heat, and sent someone to take care of it from time to time, don't be confused, stay up all night, get up early tomorrow to eat, I believe it will satisfy everyone. This mugwort leaf was stained with the light of the kitchen, and after tasting it, it was soft and delicious, and it was really delicious.
"Tomorrow, you go to the outer courtyard and give one to Jing Gongzi." Fang Yage said to Zi Su.
Zi Su nodded when she heard this, and didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but Bai Zhi had something to say in her heart a few times, but she didn't know how to tell the county lord that it was always bad for this daughter's family to send things to men, but the county lord was different from the ordinary daughter's family, plus Jing Gongzi's rescue three times and twice, this relationship is not a sentence or two that can be said clearly, on the one hand, there is deep friendship, and on the other hand, there is a secular vision, Bai Zhi doesn't know, whether to say this or not.
"Yes, don't worry, the county lord." Perilla should be.
……
On the eighth day of the second lunar month, early in the morning, I received Laba porridge from the palace, Jin Rou took Fang Yage and Fang Yaol to thank them, and the three of them ate the porridge rewarded by the palace at breakfast, there was only a small bowl in total, which was more symbolic than practical.
On the other side, the general's mansion across the wall is a completely different scene, although the two mansions are a family, but after all, they are two mansions, and the emperor's Laba porridge is also two copies every year.
After breakfast, Fang Yage sent people to send the Laba porridge cooked in the big kitchen to each courtyard, both Jing Yunjue's, and Yahuan and Aunt Hua were not left behind, and the rest was the return gift of Laba porridge sent to the various prefectures, and the food that was eaten at night was boiled in the kitchen.
When he was not too old, Banxia came in to tell him, saying that Manager Wang was here, Fang Yage hurriedly let people in, only to see that Wang Fu was wearing heavy cotton clothes, the clothes on his body were not gorgeous, but they were not shabby, and he was carrying a food box when he entered the door.
"I've seen the county lord!"
Wang Fu saluted Fang Yage, let Bai Zhi hold the food box in his hand, and said to the other party: "County Lord, this is the county lord entrusted by the people in Zhuangzi to bring me to the county lord, it is fresh Laba porridge." ”
Fang Yage asked Bai Zhi to open the food box, and sure enough, there was a bowl of laba porridge inside, looking at the longan and red dates, the color was also good, and it could be seen that it was made with heart.
"What is this?" Fang Yage asked incredulously, not knowing which family did this.
"Oh, the county lord doesn't know, this year's Laba porridge is not made by any family, but made by everyone, a big pot was set up in the village, and a big pot of Laba porridge was boiled, and every household in Zhuangzi was distributed, and it was specially brought to the county lord, which was everyone's mind." Wang Fudao.
The people on this Zhuangzi are not from a surname, but from different families, everyone is fate when they come together, they are all sad people, but they all have their own sad things, when they arrive at Laba, everyone sits together and drinks a bowl of Laba porridge, which is also considered a family.
"Zisu, you go to the kitchen and let them boil another pot of laba porridge and bring it to everyone in Zhuangzi." Fang Yage was grateful in his heart and instructed Zi Su Dao.
"Hey, I'll be right away." Shiso replied. (To be continued......)
