Since Mrs. Shen takes medicine all year round, he needs to pay special attention to his meals on weekdays, so Shen Ruitian set up another kitchen in Mrs. Shen's yard.

Luo Qinghe was in this kitchen at the moment.

As soon as Shen Li stepped into the kitchen, he saw Luo Qinghe change back into his usual dress, and he was concentrating on preparing something in the kitchen.

Although Shen Li had never entered the kitchen, at this moment he wanted to go with Luo Qinghe, so he hurriedly said, "Qinghe, I'll help you!" ”

Hearing Shen Li's voice, Luo Qinghe turned his head in surprise, although he was a little hesitant, he also nodded and said, "Then you come and meet!" ”

As he spoke, he gave up the position in front of the panel to Shen Li.

Shen Li was also neat, and after rolling up his sleeves and learning the art of kneading noodles with Luo Qinghe, he used his strength to knead the noodles on the panel, and it didn't take long for a little bead of sweat to appear on Shen Li's forehead.

Seeing Shen Li's efforts to help with such a happy face, Luo Qinghe couldn't help but feel a little sad, and hurriedly turned around to hide his expression.

After a while, with the help of Shen Li, Luo Qinghe put the steamed round and plump, fragrant pink longevity peaches on a large plate.

This longevity peach is about ten inches wide, the tip of the peach is rendered just right by pink, and the bottom is lined with this little green leaf.

Looking at the longevity peach made by the two of them together, Shen Li only felt full of pride, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were smiling.

"Qinghe, in the future, let's make food for grandpa together and honor his old man!" Shen Li said with emotion.

As soon as she heard this, Luo Qinghe's eyes did not look forward to it, but she was vaguely unbearable, but she still didn't say anything, and only pretended to appreciate this exquisite longevity peach.

Shen Li was about to serve this longevity peach with Luo Qinghe, but Miss Shen suddenly hurriedly came over and said, "Your guest is here!" Li'er, hurry up and greet it in person! ”

Shen Li heard that even though he was unwilling in his heart, it was not good to lose his etiquette in front of the guests during this birthday banquet, so he could only turn back and leave one step at a time.

Luo Qinghe heard that the banquet was about to start, so he hurried back to the wing room and changed into yesterday's goose yellow dark flower cloud brocade skirt.

"The transfer has made Lord Lin congratulate on the arrival of the gift!"

With the loud voice of the little guy at the door, Shen Ruitian and Mrs. Shen raised their heads together, hurriedly rushed to the gate, and greeted them respectfully.

On the official road, the people of the Lin Mansion who were full of oil came to carry this thing covered with red cloth and came majestically, Shen Ruitian thought that Lord Lin had given a generous gift, and raised his head when he stood up, and put the thing in the middle very proudly, and then lifted the red cloth.

The moment they saw the thing underneath, the guests who were still probing their brains suddenly lowered their heads with a smile.

I saw a big glutinous cake with white flowers in the middle of the lacquer plate, and there was a red paper cut into the word "life" on it, which looked heavy, but it didn't add up to twenty wen.

Seeing that there was such an unseemly thing on the main hall of his house, Shen Li covered his face with shame, and hurriedly wanted Mrs. Shen to remove this big dumpling.

But Mrs. Shen regarded it as a good thing, and said with a smile: "What to withdraw!" This is the mind of Lord Lin, and this white flower symbolizes a silver ingot! ”

Shen Li was very disdainful, and was about to refute, but suddenly saw Luo Qinghe also enter the main hall with a lacquer plate, so he immediately left Mrs. Shen, who was still grinning and proud, and jumped to Luo Qinghe's side at once.

Seeing that the longevity peach he made with Luo Qinghe was finally served, Shen Li also ripped off the red cloth covering his head, and turned around to show off, but was poured a basin of cold water by his third sister.

Miss Shen San saw that Luo Qinghe's etiquette was also a meal, so she pinched her throat and mocked: "Just because you dare to give the same birthday gift as Lord Lin... Ah, I forgot you're a dim sum seller! ”

"What's wrong with this birthday gift!" When Shen Li heard this, his face suddenly sank and said: "This longevity peach was made by me and Qinghe, isn't it as sincere as the gown you bought?" ”

This Miss Shen San has been lazy since she was a child, and she can't do any needlework that ordinary young ladies can do, just because of this matter, she is not less picky by her husband's family, and today, as a granddaughter, she should have prepared a sincere blessing for her grandfather, but she was clumsy, so she could only let her subordinates go out to buy one.

Miss Shen San was already a little weak because of this matter, and Shen Li also pulled her sore spot and said, this Miss Shen San was so angry that her veil was about to be broken, but this Shen Li had always been the treasure of the entire Shen family, so she could only grit her teeth and hold back this breath.

After Shen Li finished scolding his third sister, he was about to put this longevity peach in the middle, but Mrs. Shen hurriedly stopped: "Luo Qinghe is an outsider, what qualifications does she have to be side by side with Lord Lin's gift!" ”

"Isn't this longevity peach more delicate than this big glutinous cake with paper! Qinghe is my wife who has not passed the door, and I also made Shou Tao myself! How can you say shabby! Shen Li retorted.

When Mrs. Shen saw that Shen Li was defending Luo Qinghe again, her face suddenly sank, and she turned her head and glanced at Luo Qinghe fiercely, and was about to find fault, but suddenly heard Mrs. Shen clear her throat and said, "Don't fight!" All to me is the heart of the birthday, my old man is very moved! However, the pastry has been put for a long time and is afraid of dust, so it is better to take it to the kitchen and cut it and share it with everyone! ”

Since the old birthday star had spoken, Mrs. Shen didn't dare to say more, so she could only ask the maid next to her to cut the big glutinous rice cake and longevity peach into small pieces and distribute them to the surrounding guests.

However, the guests didn't react when they ate the glutinous cake, but they barely swallowed it in the way of Lord Lin and the Shen family's face, but when they ate Luo Qinghe's longevity peach, their eyes lit up, and they all praised...

"I've never eaten such fluffy pastries, and the color is so fresh!"

"Yes, yes! This longevity peach is very exquisite, although it looks like a steamed bun when cut, it is really much sweeter than the steamed bun, and there is even a faint aroma of wine! ”

Listening to the constant praise around him, the shopkeeper Wang swept away the gloom of the previous two days, and his heart was very satisfied.

Seeing that no one around mentioned this glutinous cake, Mrs. Shen was a little unwilling and said: "This glutinous rice cake given by Lord Lin is also extremely delicious, I don't know what you think after tasting it?" ”

As soon as they heard this, they saw that the faces of the guests who were still full of praise suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and a few people could only reluctantly agree: "Not bad, it's delicious." ”

Seeing that the guests' reactions were indeed not as good as Luo Qinghe's longevity peach, Mrs. Shen was a little unconvinced, and was trying to make up for this big glutinous cake, but she didn't think about it, and the old woman at the table next to her said straightly:

"Ruitian's daughter-in-law, my aunt is a straight intestine, so I have something to say. The glutinous rice cake you just cut is a human being! And it's hard and unpalatable, even the beggars on the street who ask for food are not uncommon to touch, how can you give a gift at a birthday banquet with such a thing that can't be on the table? ”

Hearing this aunt say so bluntly what she had been trying to hide, Mrs. Shen felt very embarrassed, so she could only shut up and leave.

However, the shopkeeper Wang who was sitting on the side was very happy: Luo Qinghe's birthday gift for Mrs. Shen was not only liked by the birthday star, but also praised by the guests, this time Luo Qinghe really showed his face!

But Mrs. Shen was very blocked after being swept away by her uncle, and she only blamed Luo Qinghe for stealing the limelight.

Seeing her like this, Shen Ruitian didn't care at all, and said softly in Mrs. Shen's ear: "Don't worry, the show hasn't started singing yet!" ”

According to the rules, when congratulating the old man on his birthday, the woman is not qualified to come forward and kowtow to bless, but in order to have a lively and relaxed life, Mrs. Shen also did not make the rules too strict, just let the juniors feel free.

Luo Qinghe thought that he was an outsider after all, and he wanted to step aside, and wait for the descendants of the Shen family to celebrate his birthday, and then salute Mrs. Shen with the guests, but he didn't think that Mrs. Shen was the first to speak: "Qinghe, you will celebrate my birthday with Li'er this time!" ”

When the surrounding guests heard this, they seemed to understand something in their hearts, and looked at Luo Qinghe who was standing aside in surprise.

Seeing that his grandfather had the intention of expressing his position, Shen Xuan's head swelled up with ecstasy, only feeling that his marriage contract was about to be concluded, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Luo Qinghe to kneel down together.

Seeing Shen Li's excited appearance, Mrs. Shen smiled very dotingly, and continued: "Qinghe, this little girl is smart and filial, and my old man admires it very much..."

Seeing that Mrs. Shen started talking, Luo Qinghe was shocked and was about to speak, but suddenly someone in the corner shouted: "Ah! Isn't this the woman in Luoquan Town who was sued in court and almost ripped off her pants and whipped? ”

This is a very vulgar statement.

And the Shen family, a wealthy family, attaches the most importance to reputation, but at the moment, this person means to first accuse Luo Qinghe of being restless and having conflicts with others before causing a lawsuit, and then said that a cardamom woman was almost stripped of her pants, and every word was clearly aimed at ruining Luo Qinghe's reputation.

As soon as they heard this, the guests who were still waiting to see the happy event of the two suddenly changed their faces, looked straight at Luo Qinghe, and some even whispered:

"This little girl looks delicate, but she didn't expect to be so dishonest in private!"

"That's right! How can you still be on the verge of being stripped of your pants? What a shame! ”

Shen Li, who thought that the marriage was about to be completed, suddenly saw that someone suddenly stepped in and not only ruined the good thing, but also humiliated Luo Qinghe in public, so he turned around and shouted with an angry face: "Who is talking nonsense there!" ”

"That's not nonsense!" The triangular-eyed man who was hiding in the corner stood up and said confidently: "That's what I saw at the entrance of Lord Jiang's yamen in Luoquan Town, County!" This woman was sent to court because she beat Boss Wang of Luoquan Silk Village half-through, and she was fined a lot of silver! ”

As soon as the triangular-eyed man's voice fell, the surrounding guests gasped.

What this person said is reasonable, and even Lord Jiang's name has been said, it doesn't look like a lie!

The few people who were talking in a whisper just now were even more determined in their words: This Luo Qinghe looks a little good-looking, but in fact he is a ruthless countryman, the Shen family is really blind this time!
