038: Big taboo

Yan Jin's words choked Yan Qining half to death.

So even if the dishes on the table tasted good, Yan Qining lowered her head after all and looked absentmindedly at the Huiren rice porridge in the bowl.

She can't eat it.

"Second sister, isn't this dish to your liking?" Yan Huiqing, the fourth lady sitting next to Yan Qining, had puzzlement on her immature little face, and persuaded kindly, "I see that this crystal steamed dumpling is good, second sister, can you taste it?" ”

Sanfang Shu's family, although he was born in a low family, his stomach is extremely competitive.

Less than half a year after Shu's entry into the house, she became pregnant with the fourth young master Yan Yuhe, and two years later gave birth to the fourth young lady Yan Huiqing.

So over the years, her third uncle Yan Jijing has never had the mind of taking a concubine, and her relationship with Shu is also very good.

However, this is very obstructive to the eyes of the old lady.

In Mrs. Yan's heart, her youngest son is the best and most dazzling among many children.

Yan Jijing became a waiter in the Criminal Department at a young age, with a higher official position than the eldest son Yan Jichang, and more sensible and obedient than the second son, but the fly in the ointment was that he did not marry a good wife.

Old Man Shu is just a six-grade idle job, and those children of the Shu family are more unproductive than the other, and one is more unproductive than the other. It is impossible for them to help Yan Jijing a little bit in the officialdom.

Especially over the years, Shu's occasional private payment to the Shu family made Mrs. Yan even more annoyed.

Since the Shu family is already a member of the Yan family, how can he have the intention of helping outsiders.

So every time Mrs. Yan saw Shu's, she would have a sullen breath, and even a little disgusted with Yan Huiqing.

Yan Qining naturally knew this, she glanced at Yan Huiqing, and said coldly, "Don't eat." ”

Yan Huiqing's temperament is the same as Shu's, and Xianshu is a little weak, so after hearing Yan Qining's words, although she felt a little uncomfortable, she still lowered her head and pretended that nothing had happened.

After Yan Jin listened, he just picked up the crystal steamed dumplings in front of him, put them on a plate and tasted them slowly.

As Yan Huiqing said, this crystal steamed dumpling tastes really good. She tasted one and was so satisfied that she picked up another and put it on the plate.

After Yan Huiqing saw Yan Jin do this, she raised her head and showed a grateful look.

Yan Jin's movements made Yan Qining even more uncomfortable, she looked at the rice porridge in the bowl and refused to eat.

After a while, Mrs. Yan stopped chopsticks, and chopsticks also stopped on the table here.

The maids waited for everyone to wash their hands and rinse their mouths, and finally Yan Jin followed behind Xiao Yu and slowly walked towards the front hall.

The main hall of Rongxi Temple is very spacious, and the surrounding area is very exquisitely arranged. Even the porcelain placed on the table is very selective.

Mrs. Yan likes to put on these pomp and circumstance, and the more expensive things are, the more they must be placed in the most conspicuous place.

Mrs. Yan's behavior, like the Yan family, likes to slap her swollen face and become fat.

At this time, Old Lady Yan had already left the house, and the rest were some ladies and girls.

"Today, I want to talk to you about something." Mrs. Yan sat on the soft couch, holding the tea cup in her hand, and took a deep breath of the fragrance of tea before taking a slow sip.

Xiao Yu sat in the closest place to Old Lady Yan, and after listening, there were some doubts in his eyebrows.

"Mother, you just command." Xuan's mouth has always been sweet, so he quickly preempted Xiao Yu's and said the words of the stammer.

If it was in the past, Mrs. Yan wouldn't mind, after all, she didn't like Xiao Yu's family, and she always felt that the people of the Yu family had a copper smell, which could be smelled anywhere.

But now it's different, the things that happened one after another in the house have made Old Lady Yan angry.

She can't be so indulgent in the second room anymore, after all, although she hates Xiao Yu's family, if it gets out of the way, it will be bad after all.

After hearing this, Old Lady Yan just smiled coldly, glanced at Xuan's family, and put the teacup on the small sandalwood kang table on the side.

Xuan's smile froze on her face for a moment, and she lowered her head and said no more.

Although Xiao Yu didn't understand the affairs of the back house in the past, she could see some of her faces in the years she married into the Yan family, so she hurriedly said to Mrs. Yan, "Just by mother's orders." ”

Old Mrs. Yan showed a satisfied smile, and her voice was still gentle, "Chinese New Year's Eve will be in a few days, and you have to do the affairs of the mansion yourself." If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. ”

Mrs. Yan's words are equivalent to agreeing with the status of Xiaoyu's family.

This was obviously a bit unexpected by Xiao Yu's family.

Originally, she thought that Mrs. Yan was willing to give her the right to take care of the affairs of the East Courtyard, which was the biggest concession for Mrs. Yan, but she didn't want Mrs. Yan to want her to take care of the affairs of the entire Yan Mansion now.

Xuan, who was on the side, listened, but his face turned pale.

She bit her lower lip secretly, with resentment in her eyes, she glanced at Xiao Yu unwillingly, and then turned her eyes to look at Shu Shi, who had been lowering her head and looking peaceful.

"I see." Xiao Yu smiled and said softly to Mrs. Yan, "I'm going to disturb my mother these days." ”

Old Mrs. Yan listened, nodded, picked up the teacup again, and glanced at Yan Qining in the distance.

"Xiao Ning, come here." Old Madam Yan's voice was still calm.

Yan Qining glanced at Xuan, hurriedly stepped forward, and stopped in front of Old Lady Yan.

Old Lady Yan lifted the lid on the teacup and looked at the tea leaves inside, "The Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots you sent last night are really excellent things." You're a kid, too. ”

When Old Lady Yan said 'Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots', Yan Jin finally couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Yan Qining actually dared to send Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots to Mrs. Yan.

This is Mrs. Yan's personal taboo.

Yan Qining showed a puzzled look, and she said softly, "Grandmother, what I asked people to send was Lushan Yunwu Tea, not Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots. A few days ago, my grandfather said that he had some good tea there, so he asked someone to bring it to me. I remember that my grandmother also liked to eat tea, so I didn't delay and brought it to you. Can ......"

When Yan Qining said this, the doubts in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and he muttered to himself, "Grandfather said that it was Lushan Yunwu Tea." ”

Old Lady Yan's face was slightly gloomy, and she threw the tea cup in her hand on the ground.

I only heard a "pop" and the sound of the tea cup breaking, and it sounded in the room.

Yan Qining took a step back in fright, and nervously explained, "Grandmother, I ......"

Yan Qining's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked not only innocent, but also pitiful.

Yan Jin tilted his head slightly, looking at Yan Qining's appearance, he couldn't help but be a little funny.

Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots......

Up and down the Yan Mansion, everyone knows that the word Gu Zhu Zizhu is a forbidden word in front of Mrs. Yan.

Maybe the girl in this house doesn't know the reason why Mrs. Yan doesn't like Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots, but it is impossible for the people of the Yu family not to know.

Because, Gu Zhu Zizhu is not only the name that Mrs. Yan least wants to hear, but also the name of the tea that her father Yan Jichang does not want to hear the most.

Therefore, her biological mother, Da Yu, told the people of Xiao Yu's family and Yu family about this matter.

Yan Jin didn't know these before, but when his father died, Mr. Thirteen found some Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots from outside, Xiao Yu sighed, and said that Yan Jichang was ruined on this tea back then.

Yan Jin listened vaguely, but after supporting Mr. Thirteen's analysis, he understood the meaning of Xiao Yu's words.

"It turned out that it was sent by Master Yu." Old Madam Yan snorted lightly, "Master Yu, I really care about you." ”

Yan Qining's tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, she shivered, and her face was full of panic.

Xiao Yu frowned and glanced at Yan Qining, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mother, I'm afraid this tea was sent by mistake." ”

"Mistaken?" When Mrs. Yan heard this, her eyebrows were raised, "Master Yu is a businessman, if he even sends things wrongly, then I don't know how much silver he will lose over the years." ”

Yan Qining knelt on the ground and cried, "Grandmother, I really don't know it's Gu Zhu Zi Bamboo Shoots, I don't know tea, I ...... I thought it was Lushan cloud tea. ”

Yan Qining is still young, and it is a common thing not to know tea.

But Mrs. Yan is very particular about eating tea, smell the taste of tea, you will know when it is tea, and you will know the grade of tea. Trying to deceive her in this matter is tantamount to getting an axe in the class.

"Mother, A-Ning also wants to be filial to you." Xuan Shi finally spoke, her hand firmly clutching the Jinpa in her hand, "No matter how stupid she is, she will never personally send you your favorite tea to eat." ”

Old Lady Yan listened, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

The atmosphere in the room was a little weird, Yan Qining kneeling on the ground, crying pear blossoms with rain, and her paralyzed body proved that she seemed to be really innocent. On the side, the Xuan clan looked at Yan Qining even more worriedly.

Only Xiao Yu showed an unbelievable look.

No one dared to speak again, and they could all feel the displeasure of Mrs. Yan.

Xiao Yu bit his lower lip hard, and in an instant, the thin lip was bitten out of blood. With her father on one side and her beloved child on the other, Xiao Yu was very embarrassed.

Over the years, because Yan Qining is well-behaved, his father will indeed send a lot of good things to Yan Qining in private. Including tea and brocade, if they are not top-notch, they will not be sent to the Yan family.

However, his father knew about that matter, so how could he send Gu Zhu Zizhu to Yan's house?

If it was really her father who sent Gu Zhu Zi Bamboo Shoots to Yan's house, it would break down her relationship with Yan Jichang, and even the old lady Yan would be even more disgusted with her.

So, she was sure, it wasn't her father who did it.

However, Yan Qining, who was kneeling in front of him, insisted that his father did it...... Xiao Yu tasted the taste of blood in his mouth, and he understood what was going on with distress.

Aning ...... What is her eldest sister thinking about the child she bought with her life?

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and before he could speak, he heard Yan Jin on the side say slowly, "My grandfather also sent me tea." ”

Yan Jin's words made the eyes around her look at her.
