Su Miao quickly combed her makeup, followed the aftertaste out of Yinfeng Zhai, and walked towards the flower hall in the outer courtyard. The flower hall in the outer courtyard is used for banquets, carved beams and painted buildings, very exquisite, Su Miaohe and Huiwei just walked to the door, and saw several heroic black-clothed people standing solemnly outside the door, burly and strong, steaming, at a glance it is a battle-hardened soldier.

Su Miao was startled, she thought she was bold, but when she saw so many strong men with big shoulders and round waists, she still felt a sudden shock in her heart, only to feel that there was a black pressure in front of her, and she subconsciously stopped.

Aftertaste took her hand, walked past the fierce strong man in front of the door, and walked calmly towards the flower hall.

Su Miao was pulled by him, only as soon as he stepped on the threshold, he heard the man's hearty laughter inside, in the elegant and chic flower hall, a huge hibiscus flower screen separated the hall, the inner room was placed with a wide pear wood soft couch, the outer room was hung with a green bamboo curtain, and in the middle of a fine porcelain gall bottle with a flower ice crack was inserted a few lotus flowers, exuding a faint fragrance.

A pineapple wood round table, several carved bamboo chairs scattered around, two of the bamboo chairs are sitting obliquely on two well-dressed handsome men, the one wearing a bright red clean brocade is Liang Jin, the man sitting opposite Liang Jin looks seven or eight points similar to Liang Jin, except for the difference of two beards, this person and Liang Jin are carved out of a mold at all, he is wearing a dark gold ancient Hunan satin robe, hair bundle Panlong gold crown, cuffs embroidered with delicate and ingenious patterns, the atmosphere is lofty, and the nobility is compelling. This is a righteous and heroic person, and he is also a mature and stable person. The smile in his eyes made him look very gentle, different from Liang Jin's outward spirit, he was elegant. Extraordinary.

But there is another thing that he is very similar to Liang Jin, that is, this man can't see his real age.

Standing behind the man in brocade was a young man with a face like a crown and jade lips, about thirty years old, wearing a moon-white cloud brocade robe, a pale blue beast pattern leather belt tied around his waist, with black smooth hair and a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and a long body. Tall as a crane, this is also a gentle man, and the aura on his body is very similar to that of the man in brocade. The same gentle and elegant, fresh and handsome, people will involuntarily flash in their minds while looking at the past, "Humble gentleman, gentle as jade." It's like a discussion. such as grinding".

In addition to these three people, there was another man in Xuanyi standing in the corner of the flower hall, with a sword at his waist, with a perfect figure, a heroic posture, standing up to the sky, it was Liang Min.

Hearing the soft sound of the curtain, Liang Shuo took the lead in turning around. He glanced at the aftertaste with a smile in his eyebrows, and then looked at Su Miao. After a careful look, he smiled gently:

"This is the daughter-in-law that the third son brought back by himself?"

A maid had already come forward and laid a cushion on the ground, and Hui Wei knelt down on the cushion with Su Miao's hand, and bowed to Liang Shuo in a regular manner.

Before Su Miao could react, she was pulled to her knees by the aftertaste, and kowtowed with the aftertaste, and after kowtowing, she didn't realize what she had just done.

Liang Shuo laughed and said kindly: "Get up, the family doesn't need these false courtesies." ”

Aftertaste stood up with kindness and silently helped Su Miao up.

"In the past few years, the third son has grown up a lot, not to mention, and quietly got you back a daughter-in-law, you are also blessed. This kid has had the most ghost ideas since he was a child, usually like a stuffy gourd, and every time he goes to a big event, he has the most ideas. Liang Shuo smiled at Liang Jindao.

Liang Jin just laughed, and Liang Shuo could see that he was not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Liang Shuo is not unable to understand his thoughts, people like them, even if the daughter-in-law is not a lady of the wang family, she should be a scholarly jade lady, the girl in front of her is not the most outstanding, not to mention the family background, even the things he does are a chef who cannot be on the table in the aristocratic circle, this child is not special except for being tall, there is nothing else special, like Liang Jin, who is dissatisfied, he wants to marry a virtuous and gentle lady as a daughter-in-law for his son. He was not satisfied with him, but Liang Jin's favorite thing was the aftertaste, seeing that the aftertaste of this kid really liked the girl, because his son really liked it, so even if Liang Jin was not satisfied, he couldn't say anything against it.

In Liang Shuo's opinion, the girl in front of her is a little stupid, a normal girl is not trembling or pretending to be generous when she sees the emperor, but this girl is very calm and calm, she is in a calm and calm daze, as if she is just surprised, not afraid.

Su Miao was not not afraid, she just forgot to be afraid, because she finally saw the living emperor, she used to look at the painting, but now she actually saw the emperor appear alive in front of her, her mood was a little excited, so that she forgot the environment she was in now, and was tilting her head to think that this emperor looked like her future father-in-law!

"How old is this girl?" Liang Shuo suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

Fortunately, Su Miao did not completely immerse herself in excitement, she was stunned before she reacted, raised her head, faced Liang Shuo, but lowered her eyes, and replied with a smile:

"Back to the emperor, the folk girl is nineteen years old."

She knows the most basic rules, and behaves well, Liang Shuo was stunned, it seems that this is not a country girl who doesn't understand any rules, he smiled, and simply asked Su Miao's name, family and occupation, Su Miao replied briefly, not perfunctory, but also did not talk about it, every answer was just right, so that Liang Shuo felt that she was very smart, and his first impression of her began to change. Even Liang Jin was stunned and looked at Su Miao again. Su Miao half-hung her head, putting on a virtuous and virtuous look, which made her squint at her frequently, as if she was wondering what she wanted to do in this posture, it was really strange.

At this moment, a faint fragrance hit the nose, the curtain sounded softly, and the aftertaste was still a plain black dress, which walked in from the outside, followed by Wei Zhen, who had been carefully dressed up, and two maids holding trays. Hui Xiang calmly stopped at the table where Liang Jin and the others were sitting, and picked up a ceramic pot on the tray and put it on the table.

Wei Zhen stepped forward. In a demure manner, the dishes and chopsticks are placed on the dining table one by one.

Hui Xiang took matters into his own hands and lifted the porcelain lid of the pot. In the hot steam, a pot of brightly colored porridge comes into view, the porridge in the pot is still tumbling because of the residual temperature at the bottom of the pot, fragrant, smooth and delicate, just smell can taste the sweet and delicious taste that makes the heart tip soft.

"Eight Immortal Porridge, I haven't eaten it for a long time!" Liang Shuo looked at the porridge pot that kept overflowing with an enticing fragrance. There was a touch of nostalgia in his eyes, and he smiled and sighed softly.

"yes." Liang Jin looked at the porridge pot. After being silent for a while, he smiled shallowly, and there was also a touch of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Sit down." When Hui Xiang raised his eyes, he saw that the children were standing, so he said softly.

"That's right. Sit down, boys. Try it all, your eighth aunt is often absent, even if she is at home, she refuses to do it, it is rare that she is willing to cook herself, you boys are blessed! This Eight Immortal Porridge was my favorite food with your Eighth Uncle when we were young, when your Eighth Uncle was only eight or nine years old, and your Eighth Aunt was only seven or eight years old, and her cooking skills were good at that time. When your eighth uncle cried because he couldn't eat well, it was all up to your eighth aunt to change the way to make food for him, so he didn't cry. ”

Liang Shuo said this with a smile to Liang Xuan, the eldest son of the emperor who was standing behind him. Liang Yi was a young man who was as gentle as jade, and he smiled when he heard this.

Liang Jin felt very embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Seven, what are you doing saying this in front of the child!" ”

Liang Shuo laughed: "I still remember the first time Xiang'er cooked the Eight Immortals Porridge for us, you were obviously hungry for a day, and you disliked that the Eight Immortals Porridge cooked by Xiang'er was all leftovers from the imperial dining room, saying that this was for pigs, you hadn't even seen a pig and said that it was for feeding pigs, which provoked Xiang'er to ignore you for a month, you didn't have a heart or lungs, and you ate all the porridge that night, and left me with a pot bottom." ”

Liang Jin became more and more embarrassed and laughed awkwardly.

Aftertaste, Liang Yi, Liang Min, and Wei Zhen are no strangers to such topics, as if they are accustomed to it because they often hear them mention it, and Liang Jin and Liang Shuo mentioned it casually, not only did they feel embarrassed, but regarded the embarrassment as a kind of brilliance, full of pride, as if they did not feel any shame or worthy of their embarrassment. Su Miao heard a little strange information from their chat, the emperor and King Rui talked as if they were hungry when they were young, and Hui Xiang was the one who often brought them food and secretly helped them, could it be that the emperor and King Rui were unlucky enough to be hungry often when they were princes?

Hui Xiang had already started to scoop the porridge with his hands, and when he put it in front of Liang Yi, Liang Yi said very politely:

"Thank you, Aunt Eight."

Hui Xiang only nodded slightly.

Huiwei also pulled Su Miao to sit down, Su Miao felt a little embarrassed, Huixiang and Wei Zhen were standing, it didn't seem good for her to sit alone, but would she be a little self-inflicted if she insisted on standing, after all, she was not a member of this family, and it would be more embarrassing to insist on standing too recklessly, fortunately, when she hesitated, Huixiang said to her, "You can sit too", and then Wei Zhen said:

"Sister Su, sit down, this eight-immortal porridge was cooked by my mother herself, it's delicious, and these snacks are steamed by me, Sister Su, don't dislike it, eat more."

Su Miao smiled, agreed a few words, and was pulled down by the aftertaste.

Liang Shuo listened to Wei Zhen's words and said to Liang Jin with a smile: "I envy you the most now, you have three daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law is good at making dim sum, even the dim sum master in the palace can't say that it is bad, the second daughter-in-law is the best at making soup, and now there is a little daughter-in-law with enough skills to participate in the finals of Liangdu, you kid is old and there is absolutely no shortage of food!" ”

When Liang Jin heard this, his face was triumphant: "I still use my fingers to lean on my daughter-in-law?" I myself have an all-round daughter-in-law who cooks rice, cooks vegetables, dim sum, cooks soup, and does everything! ”

"That's right, you're still blessed!" Liang Shuo had already taken a sip of the hot and fragrant porridge, and when he heard it, he said with a smile.

Such an atmosphere is different from what Su Miao imagined, but the unexpected feeling is very comfortable, Liang Shuo, the emperor in Su Miao's eyes, the initial image of the Ninety-Five Supreme has become blurred, replaced by the feeling of an uncle of the in-law, he is a very kind elder, and he is also a very handsome and charming man, he is modest and open-minded, gentle and gentle, friendly to his brothers, kind to his children and nephews, and the imaginary emperor is very different, he is very fresh, a ball of righteousness, Su Miao likes him very much, At this time, she felt in her heart that it was no wonder that Yue Liang's country was prosperous, the people were prosperous, and it turned out that there was such an emperor who didn't like to put on a show.

She tasted the handmade Eight Immortals porridge with a fragrant aftertaste.

When drinking porridge, she understood why Liang Jin thought that the Eight Immortals Porridge was fed to pigs when he was a child, the ingredients of this porridge were very miscellaneous, colorful, rich and bright, and it was no wonder that Liang Shuo would suspect that the original Eight Immortals Porridge was made of leftovers from the imperial dining room.

The Eight Immortals Porridge is made of fine japonica rice, the dried scallops are removed from the old tendons, soaked in warm water and crushed. Cut the squid into thin strips and blanch it in boiling water. Rinse the pork skin with cold water, cut it into thin strips and cook it in a pot of boiling water until it is half-cooked, fry the mushrooms, green onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers in the hot oil, put the meat skin into the wok, add the carrots, and after the meat skin is cooked, add fresh soy sauce to taste. The pork belly is scrubbed and the special roast duck is chopped into small pieces. Remove the peanut kernels, put them in boiling salt water and roll them, take them out to dry, put them in a slow-boiling oil pan and fry them until golden brown, take them out and drain the water. Then fry the rice noodles in boiling oil until fragrant. Soak the japonica rice in cold water for two quarters of an hour, then take it out and drain it, pour an appropriate amount of well water into the pot, boil it with a strong fire first, then add the japonica rice, dried scallops, pork belly, and wait for the water to boil, then slowly cook it into porridge over low heat and season it with salt. Put the rest of the ingredients into a large bowl, rinse into the porridge, add a small piece of lard, soy sauce and shredded ginger, and mix well.

The aroma of the dish, the aroma of the meat, and the aroma of the porridge are intertwined, thick but not thick, fragrant but not greasy, hot but not hot, which makes people appetizing. The rice grains are crystal clear, the rice soup is fragrant, and it is refreshing to the nose.

Liang Shuo ate most of the bowl in one go, and it can be seen that he likes to eat this porridge very much, and it can also be seen that he misses the taste of this porridge very much:

"Xiang'er's craftsmanship has never changed in more than 30 years, and it is still as delicious as when she was in Liyang Palace!"

"Xiang'er can cook so many dishes, but Brother Seven, you love this eight-immortal porridge alone." Liang Jin said with a smile.

"The icing on the cake is the easiest, it's rare to send charcoal in the snow, I was only thirteen years old that year, the palace people stepped on the low and praised our brothers are used to it, only Xiang'er still treats the two of us the same as before, if there is no Xiang'er at that time, you are afraid that you will not live to this age, and you can still have children and grandchildren!" Liang Shuo said with a smile full of emotion.

Liang Jin just smiled and looked at Huixiang.

Su Miao also looked at Hui Xiang curiously, wanting to see what kind of reaction Hui Xiang would have after hearing these words, but it turned out to be quite disappointed to her, Hui Xiang didn't have any reaction, she drank porridge quietly through a thin black veil, as if the person they were talking about was not her.
