Chapter 13 Trivia of the Cui Family

Auntie didn't sleep well last night, and was grabbed and tossed by Chen Xi from head to toe during the day, and it was already midnight when she opened her eyes, she moved her body, her whole body seemed to be run over by a car, and there was no pain. "Awake?" Chen Xi looked at Auntie with a smile, Auntie who had just woken up had a little blushing face, her slightly red and swollen eyes were still a little misty, and she was very cute and cute.

Chang'e turned her face away angrily, not wanting to look at Chen Xi again.

"What a petite baby!" Chen Xi smiled and hugged her into his arms. Only then did she find that she was not only refreshing, but even changed into a soft nightdress, she was secretly annoyed, she slept too deeply, and she was not vigilant at all.

"If you're hungry or not, drink a cup of bird's nest to cushion your stomach first, and I'll let you set the meal." Auntie pushed away Chen Xi and handed it to her lips, and her sweet and glutinous voice was slightly hoarse: "I want a glass of water to rinse my mouth."

"Squeamish." Chen Xi shook the rattle, helped her up from her arms, let her lean on the head of the bed, and stuffed a big pillow behind her.

Feiqiong led a column of maids in, and a warm towel was applied to her face, making her sigh comfortably, wiping her face, rinsing her mouth, and running her hair...... Only then did she feel that the whole person was alive.

Chen Xi, who was lined by the girls, could only helplessly order his subordinates to bring another warm bird's nest. Without waiting for Chen Xi to move, the bird's nest was taken over by the broken jade, and Chang'e ate most of it and rinsed her mouth again.

After a year, she was once again forced to watch the daily life of Xi'e for half an hour at close range, and Chen Xi, who was bored, secretly counted, this poor and exquisite little girl, just used more than ten silk handkerchiefs.

As the saying goes, three generations to see through food, four generations to see through, and five generations to read articles, the Chen family only really started to develop from the generation of Chen Xi's grandfather, unlike the Cui family, Zhong Ming Ding food, several generations of hairpins, and only the Cui family has such a deep heritage that can raise a delicate and expensive baby like Cui Xi'e.

Chen Xi couldn't help but recall the second day of the candles in the cave room with Xiang'e, the sky was slightly bright, and Xi'e screamed, and more than a dozen girls rushed in, holding handkerchiefs, serving copper basins, serving tea, serving flower dew, bottles and jars were dazzling, but everyone was orderly, and there was not even a trace of sound leaking. Chen Xi, who boasted that he had seen countless big scenes, was dumbfounded, and for a moment he didn't know how to put his hands and feet.

The corners of Chen Xi's lips hooked a smile that seemed to be self-deprecating and seemed to be proud, and he saw that Chang'e had finished cleaning up before ordering his subordinates to set the meal.

A long table was brought into the bedroom, and the maidservants came up with plates, and in a few moments they were full. There are six kinds of dim sum on the table, four cold dishes, eight hot dishes, a stew, and a clear soup, which are pine goose oil rolls, coconut milk red bean cakes, pork amaranth buns, chestnut yokan, lotus root flour cinnamon sugar cake, almond tofu, rouge goose breast, spicy belly shreds, mixed cucumbers, tiger skin and phoenix feet, boiled cabbage heart, soy sauce chicken, stuffed oil tofu, Longjing shrimp, steamed treasure fish, stir-fried lotus root slices, rouge radish, abalone rice, ham stewed elbow, Longjing clam bamboo soup, and two bowls of red bean porridge, a crystal plate of fruit.

She took a pair of chopsticks and her favorite rouge goose breast, and looked slightly surprised: "Isn't this dish made by the chef I brought over?"

This is eaten?! Chen Xi smiled and teased Auntie: "You are really an old gourmand who has accumulated years, and your tongue is so tricky!" The dishes on this table are all made by the master chef I just invited over last month, and he does a good job of Cantonese food. What, what's wrong? He then took a pair of chopsticks and rouge goose breast, but he didn't make any difference.

"The pickled rose eggplant is put in the dish, and it tastes slightly sweeter than usual, but it has a different flavor." Lady took a few chopsticks and mixed cucumbers, soy sauce chicken, and stir-fried lotus root slices, these dishes were not successful, and the most surprising thing for her was the stuffed oil tofu, which was filled with lettuce, which was extremely delicious. It's just that now is not the season to eat Ulva cabbage, and it is expected that this master chef has a unique secret skill for preserving Ulva cabbage. She sandwiched fried tofu three times in a row.

Chen Xi knows that Chang'e is very satisfied with the master's craftsmanship, and he smiled and instructed his subordinates: "Go and appreciate the ten silver dollars of the master, just say that the dishes he makes are very suitable for the young lady's appetite."

Auntie ate half a bowl of red bean porridge again, and put aside her chopsticks: "Where did the young marshal invite the master, he has such high cooking skills, it is rare that he can make a few dishes so chic without knowing the taste of the master."

Chen Xi showed a little smugness, this slightly childish expression diluted the majesty and solemnity that always carried on his face: "I used to be afraid that you would swallow dates in your heart, and they all said that Shibei should be impressed for three days, are you surprised."

Auntie snorted and laughed out loud: "You are not swallowing dates, but Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit - eat it without knowing its taste."

"Eat more if you like, and see how thin you look." Chen Xi's gaze was as warm as the warm sun in winter, "You eat slowly, I'll go to the barracks, hand over the official business in my hand, and walk around with you tomorrow." ”

She put aside her chopsticks and was about to get up to see Chen Xi, but he held down her shoulder forcefully and gently: "You eat your food, you don't have to send me, I'll come back tomorrow morning to pick you up." As he spoke, he tilted his head and kissed her on the face.

Auntie took advantage of the situation and hugged Chen Xi's waist and coquettishly: "Young marshal, don't forget what you promised me."

The two of them are talking and laughing together, instead of always putting on a stereotypical appearance of "eating without saying a word", this is a picture that he has imagined countless times in his heart, at this moment the beauty is in her arms, softly and coquettishly, where is Chen Xi willing to refuse, he pinched the tip of her small nose and promised: "I will do this tonight."

A sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "I heard that Qingfangzhai's pea yellow and chestnut cake are very delicious, the young marshal will bring me some back tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Chen Xi agreed, with a hint of reluctance in his gentle eyes: "Wait for me to come back." Seeing that Auntie nodded obediently, he strode out of the bedroom.

After finishing her meal, she leaned on the sofa and flipped through the account book, Ruibai crackled and dialed the abacus beads on the side, Zaoxiu and Jichun, one reported the numbers on the account in a crisp voice, and the other wrote and painted according to the numbers calculated by Ruibai.

Unconsciously, an hour passed, and Auntie closed the account book, took the lotus leaf hawthorn tea that was consumed, and drank most of the cup.

Broken Jade told her to finish her work, and whispered back to a farce in the house during the day.

"Master, when you were asleep, the Bai family led Bai Huanting to kneel in the hall, tearfully clamoring to see you, saying that they wanted to kowtow to you and admit their mistakes. Steward Chen was restrained, but the young marshal went to the hall and threatened to sell them to Africa with a large family, which stopped. ”

Xiao'e played with the fingers of the eighteen beeswax inlaid turquoise and the small gourd bracelet of red agate in the south of her hand, and seemed to sigh: "It's a pity for that girl."

Seeing that she seemed to be a little unsafe, Shayu quipped: "Even if the master wants to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, can you also hurt me first, but I heard Sister Feiqiong say that the girl in the Bai family is arrogant and rude, since she is willing to be a lowly wife to others, where can you blame a man for treating her as a casual thing."

Seeing that this girl was talking more and more unlikely, she raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "This kind of thing is also what you should say as a girl who has not been out of the cabinet?!" ”

"If the slave or maid loses her words, please punish the master." Broken Jade hurriedly bent his knees and pleaded guilty.

"That's it, don't make an example." Broken jade is a fast-talking and lively person, as long as she doesn't commit any taboos, she has always been tolerant of her. "Don't worry about the Bai family's affairs. Jenny went to urge the Lin family to schedule a recent wedding date. ”

The winter weather changed for a while, and the sun was still shining at noon, and when Mrs. Cui returned to Cui's house, the snow had already fallen a thick layer.

Mrs. Cui took off her coat and handed it to her subordinates, she was wearing a new dark green elastic velvet half-arm cheongsam, black high heels, slender figure, charming charm, a cold and glamorous face can not see the slightest trace of time, the kind of domineering and gorgeous appearance with the precipitation of the years looks more and more elegant and graceful, and a pair of upward phoenix eyes when the eyebrows are raised are even more imposing.

Master Cui was reading the newspaper in the living room, and when he saw Mrs. Cui coming in, he snorted coldly: "It's really unseemly to be so fashionable at such an age."

Mrs. Cui glanced lightly, took the coffee from the next person, took a sip, and her voice was as crisp and sweet as a girl: "Cui Zimei, in front of me, you don't pretend to me, I'm not in a good mood now."

Master Cui angrily threw down the newspaper in his hand: "How old is it, I have sons and daughters, and I will live for more than half a month when I go to my parents' house!" Do you think you're still when you first got married?! ”

Mrs. Cui raised her eyebrows, and a charming and gorgeous smile appeared on her lips: "Duplicity old thing, if you think of me, just say it, and show it to whom."

"You're disgusted with me getting old now?!" Cui Zheng walked to the sofa in a few steps, looking at his wife condescendingly, more than 20 years have passed, the woman of the previous year seems to have been frozen by the years, her skin is still as bright as snow and as bright as summer flowers, but she has some gray hair on her sideburns.

Mrs. Cui "spitted" him, under the light, her eyes were fluttering, her smile was like honey, a pair of soft wattles slowly wrapped around Cui Zheng's neck, and said angrily: "Old husband and wife, saying such things is really a loss of your Master Cui's demeanor."

"What demeanor do I want in front of you?" Cui Zheng picked up Mrs. Cui from the sofa, Mrs. Cui exclaimed, and beat him hard with both hands: "Old thing, you want to scare me to death!"

Cui Zheng laughed: "I'll let you see if your husband is really old in a while!"
