Before Prince Zhuang's carriage arrived, Chu Yu had already gotten the news. It was the Li family who sent the embroidered crane back first, saving the daughter-in-law from being in a hurry.

In the previous exchanges, Chu Yu had seen this prince Fujin, but when it came to Prince Zhuang's mansion, he didn't have much contact with the Cao family, let alone visited. She was hesitant in her heart, and she couldn't guess the intention of this old Fujin.

Since he came from Uncle Guo's mansion, was he moved by Li Si'er to be a lobbyist?

Speaking of Prince Zhuang's mansion outside, everyone knows that Prince Zhuang is a greedy and mediocre person, but this Prince Zhuang Fujin is not a fool. Otherwise, Prince Zhuang's Mansion would have been out of shape for a long time.

Chu Yu changed into a blue plain women's robe, added a pair of silver bracelets to her hands, and added beaded flowers on her head. Although it is a filial piety service, the whole person looks much more graceful at once.

While she stayed with the maid and the mother-in-law to greet her, she asked the details of the embroidered crane Li family's residence in the country's uncle's mansion.

Hearing that Li Si'er mentioned his own Tianyou, and her mother-in-law Li said that "it is not appropriate to marry early", Chu Yu nodded slightly; After hearing this, Li Si'er's expression was wrong, Prince Zhuang Fujin didn't wait for Uncle Guo's mansion to eat, so he pulled his mother-in-law to be a guest on his face, and her face was difficult to see.

The reason why she and her mother-in-law gave Li Si'er face was just for the sake of Long Keduo's face, and they didn't want to offend the Tong Mansion, which made it difficult for Cao Hao.

If Li Si'er was really rude, even if Chu Yu could endure it, Cao Hao, as a son of man, would not endure this breath.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu had an idea in his heart, and put Li Si'er aside for the time being, only thinking about how to receive Prince Zhuang Fujin in front of him.

Prince Zhuang Fujin is her grandmother's generation, not to mention coming to Cao's Mansion, even if you go to Chunjun Palace, Seventh Elder Brother and Qifujin will also greet each other outside the gate.

Therefore, Chu Yu went directly to the front yard and waited, so that the little girl went to the mouth of the alley to star.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, the little guy returned, and the carriage had already entered the alley.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Cao's mansion, the Li family got off the carriage first, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw it, and then went to the carriage of Prince Zhuang Fujin to welcome Fujin to get off.

Prince Zhuang Fujin looked at Chu Yu with a smile and accepted her salute.

Then, Chu Yu invited Prince Zhuang Fujin to get on the soft sedan chair, she walked with the Li family, took the maid and servant, and hugged the old Fujin into the house.

Because Prince Zhuang Fujin came under the banner of looking for Chu Yu, when he passed by the Orchid Courtyard at will, Chu Yu did not stop, and directly led everyone to Wutong Garden; The Li family confessed to the crime of Prince Fujin of Tongzhuang and went back to Lanyuan to change clothes first.

After entering the Wutong Garden, the servants put down the soft sedan chair.

Chu Yu personally stepped forward and picked up Lao Fujin and got off the sedan chair.

Prince Zhuang Fujin came to Cao's house for the first time, and while holding Chu Yu's hand into the upper room, he paid attention to the furnishings in this room.

This Wutong Garden was newly repaired before Chu Yu got married, and the furniture in the upper room was Chu Yu's dowry, and it took more than ten years, but it was still seven or eight percent new. Speaking of which, it is already the best house in the east and west of the Cao family, and it is a little more exquisite than the Li family's house.

Rao is like this, and it is just ordinary in the eyes of Prince Zhuang Fujin.

She was born in the palace, and most of the people she usually came to were the ladies of other palaces, and she was used to seeing the magnificence of the inner courtyard of the palace.

It is said that the Cao family is rich and rich, and the Cao family is rich.

Chu Yu was dressed up three points more solemnly than usual, and Prince Zhuang Fujin looked at it and still felt that she had cleaned up a little thinly. There is only one pair of bracelets on the wrist, only two hairpins on the head, and only muslin buttons on the clothes.

Looking at the two maids waiting in this room, their posture is mediocre, with a water azure gown, an autumn-scented bijia, and a plain face.

"The old woman will come when she says she will come, but she will disturb Da Gege?" Prince Zhuang Fujin took the noodle tea from Chu Yu and said with a smile.

She came over suddenly, and when she was just in time for dinner, to say that Chu Yu was not embarrassed, it was false.

It's just that the people have already come, and Chu Yu can only think about hospitality. Before he said this, he directly called the banquet open, which also made people uncomfortable; If you delay your speech, miss your meal, and starve Lao Fujin, it is not appropriate.

Therefore, Chu Yu asked people to prepare noodle tea directly for Lao Fujin.

This noodle tea is warm to drink, and I am hungry when I eat it. Just enough to spare time in the kitchen, prepare a table top, and let the two of them talk for a while.

Because of his age, Lao Fujin used his hand in the morning, and his stomach was really hungry now. After using a few sweet soups of noodle tea, I only felt hot and comfortable.

"With such an identity as Fujin, it is a blessing for a granddaughter to be able to go to her granddaughter's house. What disturbs or not, the granddaughter only rejoices. Chu Yu said with a smile.

According to Xiuhe, this Prince Zhuang Fujin pulled the Li family out of his uncle's mansion, which meant to relieve the siege for the Li family. With this alone, Chu Yu only has gratitude in his heart.

Seeing her respectful words, Prince Zhuang Fujin nodded, feeling that he had not run in vain.

She put down the tea bowl, took half a cup of tea from Chu Yu, rinsed her mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "This tea tastes strangely ripe, is it from Daoxiang Village?" ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Exactly, the kitchen at home also has fried noodles and tea, but it is not as delicious as the master in the shop." My family, from the old lady to the children below, love to eat this. ”

"This noodle tea is not fried well, it is greasy, only the noodle tea of Daoxiang Village, put good osmanthus, not only eat sweet, but also do not make people feel greasy. I've used it for several years, and I have to bring a bowl of ...... every day," Speaking of this, she looked at the remaining half bowl of noodle tea and said, "The one you use here today seems to taste better than the one you bought in Daoxiang Village." ”

The takeaway from Daoxiang Village is fried in a large pot, and the one used by Cao Fu is fried by the master in a small pot. In addition, the beef bone marrow oil and osmanthus used in this are the best of the best, so the taste is better.

When it comes to food, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.

"My old lady and children love sweets, and the noodle tea eaten here is more than the osmanthus in the shop. If Fujin eats with a closed mouth, the granddaughter is rarely allowed to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, filial piety and filial piety to Fujin. I also hope that Fujin feels sorry for his granddaughter and gives his granddaughter this dignity. Chu Yu said.

Lao Fujin's eyes narrowed, and he pointed at Chu Yu with a smile and said, "Look, this wife is easy to calculate, don't think that a few packets of fried noodles will send the old woman away." If you come to this experience, I will have to ask you for half a jar of 'Wufu wine' to go back. ”

There are many fine wines in the major mansions in the capital, and this "Wufu Wine" is the wine made by Caofu itself.

It is to use five kinds of candied fruits, such as peach, apricot, pear, jujube, and green plum, plus five kinds of fresh fruits such as bergamot, papaya, fragrant yuan, mandarin orange, and loquat, and soak the mud with peach wine to seal the cellar.

At the end of the year, the wine is slightly yellow in color and sweet to drink; After three years, the wine is as amber in color as mellow as the aroma.

This is the wine recipe poured by Cao Hao himself, and the original purpose was to solve the peach trees in the mountains and fields of Changping Hot Spring Zhuangzi. The fruit of the peach tree, in addition to making preserved peaches or peach juice to supply Daoxiang Village, the rest is made into fruit wine.

As a result, because there are too many fruit wines and the taste is single, everyone doesn't like to drink it. Later, Cao Hao poured out the "Wufu Wine".

These fine wines from all over the country are the wines that the gentlemen drink; Caofu's "Wufu Wine" is all made of dried and fresh fruits, which is only suitable for drinking by the inner family.

The things at the entrance, it is not easy to send lightly, occasionally relatives send some entertainment, and it is also a close relationship, so I sent one or two altars, but I didn't expect to have a little fame.

Prince Zhuang Fujin once drank it in the Pingjun Palace, and he was quite impressed.

"Where can it compare to the 'fragrant liquor' on the Fujin Mansion? Fujin is not idle, not to mention one jar, there are ten jars. Chu Yu answered.

After a few words of gossip, the guest of honor and the guest of honor were much more affectionate.

Prince Zhuang Fujin saw that the fire was coming, glanced at the maids waiting on the side, and said to Chu Yu: "Da Gege, these grandmothers who are waiting for me to come out have also come out for a while, if it is cheap, let you take them down to rest for a while." ”

Chu Yu understood and said with a smile: "It's all granddaughter's neglect, and at noon, just let a few grandmothers drink tea." Saying that, she instructed Xichun to lead a few grandmothers down to settle down, and did not forget to explain a few words to Xixia, and sent her to the Lanyuan to see the Li family, and asked how to settle something during the banquet.

Where does this need for the Li family to take an idea, but to inform her that Lao Fujin wants to talk to Chu Yu alone, and there is no need to rush over to accompany her.

There were only Chu Yu and Prince Zhuang Fujin left in the room, and Prince Zhuang Fujin showed a little helplessness on his face, and he didn't cover up for Li Si'er at all, and told Li Si'er's words in the morning, and finally his rudeness to Li.

These things, even if she doesn't say them, Li will say them, and she is happy to sell favors.

Chu Yu listened, first surprised, then frowned, and finally laughed angrily.

She stood up, squatted down respectfully, and said, "Thanks to Fu Jin's presence, we have preserved the dignity of our old lady." Otherwise, if the uncle and wife make a fuss, even if our old lady doesn't pay attention to the loss, she will be talked about and become the laughing stock of others. The granddaughter thanked Fujin for protection. Our master is not here, and when he comes back, we will kowtow to Fujin again. ”

Prince Zhuang Fujin saw her confession, and he was proud in his heart, helped Chu Yu, took her hand, and said: "They are all relatives, and it is a matter of saying this." What Mrs. Uncle? It's just a slave who doesn't know what to do. You also know the surname of our prince. Long Keduo sent 10,000 taels of silver for filial piety, begging to our prince, what can I say? Speaking of which, it's really embarrassing. Tsk, such a goddaughter, I recognize that she is already aggrieved, and now she kicks her nose in the face and forces me to be a matchmaker for her. I almost turned my back on her in anger, who would be too lazy to take care of her? It's just that Long Keduo has her back, and she must also beware of this evil woman. She has taken a fancy to the boss of your family, and although Mrs. Tai refused, this wicked woman may not be dead. ”

There was one thing she didn't say.

That is, in addition to honoring Prince Zhuang with 10,000 taels, Long Keduo also privately honored Prince Zhuang Fujin with 10,000 taels, so he invited her to come forward.

After only doing it for half a day in the uncle's mansion, the "mother and daughter" got along for half a day, and Prince Zhuang Fujin had already regretted his intestines.

On the way to Cao's Mansion, she thought about herself, knowing that if she didn't handle it properly, she would be dragged down by Li Si'er, and she would become a big joke in Beijing...... * Lanyuan, go to the room.

Li changed his coat to go out, picked out a new jacket and put it on, and before he went to Wutong Garden to accompany the guests, he was blocked in the house by Zhaojia's family.

The Li family did not take the fourth sister and the fifth son out, and the excuse used was that there was a concubine in the Tong Mansion who was not married.

Zhao Jia's family didn't think so at the time, after all, Mrs. Tong Fuyan died less than a few years, and there was no reason to say that she was married. It's just that Li insisted, no matter how embarrassed Zhao Jia's was, he just sneered a few words and sulked when he went back.

Waiting until today, the banquet of the uncle's mansion is saying, and the Zhaojia clan will make people stare at the West Mansion.

When Li left the house and when he returned home, she got the news as soon as possible.

Hearing that the Li family came back early, and there was also Prince Zhuang Fujin with him, Zhao Jia's family couldn't sit still and hurried to the Lan Courtyard.

"Since I went out to eat and drink, why did my sister-in-law come back before dinner?" Zhao Jiashi entered the house, and when he saw that the room didn't look like a guest, he raised his voice and asked, "I heard that there was a distinguished guest, why didn't you see it?" ”

"Lao Fujin came to look for his daughter-in-law, and went directly to his daughter-in-law's yard." Lee replied.

Seeing Zhaojia's eyes flickering, Li was afraid that she would have a knot, and then said: "I guessed, Uncle Guo's meal today is really for the sake of her children, and she is not afraid of others talking about it, which is really angry and funny." ”

When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he was very curious, sat down next to the edge of the kang, and said, "Could it be that you really look down on our girl?" She doesn't look at her background, who would be willing to be a family member with her? Don't say it's the fourth sister, it's the fifth son, and I'm reluctant. ”

Saying this, she was a little moved. The fourth sister was reluctant to marry someone like that; If it is a fifth son, it is better to be a daughter-in-law for the uncle's mansion than to point it to the clan as a side room.

The Tong family is powerful and powerful, and they are real relatives of the emperor, and if they can marry the Tong family, it will be of great help to the careers of several sons.

Zhaojia's family is a broken surname, and it is related to the reputation of Liugege, so the Li family hid this paragraph, only saying that Li Si'er wanted to choose the clan Gege as his daughter-in-law.

When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he was a little embarrassed, spat at the mouth, and said, "Something! What came out of her belly, the serious official lady may not be worthy, and she still wants to be a member of the clan? It's really cheap, I don't know how many pounds and taels I have! ”

Li Shi nodded, and he was also full of dislike for Li Si'er. The most regrettable thing is that the brother and sister in Tong Mansion have such a biological mother, and they don't know what will happen in the future.

After Zhao Jia's nagging, he remembered something, looked at Li, and said with doubts: "Didn't you say that there is still a girl in Tong Mansion?" Sister-in-law came back so early, isn't that Li Si'er mentioning God's blessing? ”

Although she was right, Li didn't want to have more rights and wrongs, so she didn't admit it, and said casually: "No, it was her filial piety that made Lao Fujin unhappy, so Lao Fujin pulled me out." ”

Pulling Prince Zhuang Fujin as an excuse, Zhao Jia's family really believed it, and didn't ask more, only said: "In the end, it's a joke that can't be put on the stage." Xiaozhong said kiss, she didn't want to have any face at all......"

*Tong Mansion, the front hall, has been opened.

Cao Hao sat at the bottom of the sixteenth elder brother and listened to the conversation of several people at the table. The seat of the fourth elder brother is next to Long Keduo, and the two of them are talking about something...... * fell out of the top six in history, and Xiao Jiu rolled around begging for a monthly ticket......
