Chapter 246: Leave for Food
Regardless of whether the old marquis recognizes words or not, people have carefully read the holy decree over and over again.
"Go and find the eldest lady somebody." The son and grandson don't seem to be at home, so let the granddaughter be happy first!
There is still a chance to meet his sweetheart today, the perfunctory smile on Yun Yichen's lips suddenly became real and expanded, and those who don't know still think that he is really happy for the old man!
"Grandfather, are you looking for me?" Xiao Yao had just returned his nephew to his sister-in-law, and before he could return to the distant building, he met the messenger, in the past, his old man would never look for him when a young man visited, and something unusual must have happened today.
"Come and recite this decree to my grandfather." Old Marquis Xiao smiled gently and waved at his granddaughter.
"Okay! I read to you, do I need to clean my hands and change my clothes? Xiao Yao was afraid that she was not solemn enough, so she lowered her head to check whether her skirt was smooth and whether her hands were clean.
"Hurry up and help the old man read it! It's all in a hurry. "It's rare to have an opportunity to tease the old man, Yun Yichen's embarrassment is easy to let go.
"Drink your tea." Old Marquis Xiao took his granddaughter's hand, asked her to stand in front of the table, and told her to just look at Nian, and never reach out to touch it.
"Listen, the holy decree says that there is a female ...... of the Xiao family" Xiao Yao looked at Yun Yichen in surprise, the holy decree was actually related to herself!
"Read on." The old marquis urged.
"Read it!" The little girl will be happy after reading it! Let the grandparents and grandchildren be happy for a while.
"The Xiao family has a female ......" This time Xiao Yao read all the books in one breath, the old marquis felt more down-to-earth, Xiao Yao was also very happy, even if the surname Xie came to the Xiao family now, he didn't have to be afraid.
"Thank you, Shiko." Xiao Yao came to Yun Yichen and gave a deep salute, it is impossible for the emperor to write such a holy decree without anyone reminding him, King Jing's father and son must have played a key role if they did not say that they had made great contributions. I should thank them well.
"Do you owe me more and more?" Yun Yichen saw that Old Marquis Xiao was busy offering the holy decree and had no time to take care of this, so he boldly approached Xiao Yao and asked in a whisper.
It's nice to smell her fragrance again, it's so nice to be so close to her again, so happy!
"Huh." Xiao Yao laughed dryly, he had already promised to help his daughter-in-law embroider the dress, what else did he want, it was a big deal that he would work hard for the next time, use his housekeeping skills, and strive to make the dress beautiful, isn't it okay to have only one piece in the whole day?
"You have to pay attention to what I ask you to do, or you will regret it." After Yun Yichen said this, he quickly returned to his seat, because the old man had already turned around at this moment.
Regret? What do you regret? Xiao Yao felt that Yun Yichen was becoming more and more inexplicable, and the words he said were confusing. Since he has promised him, of course he will do his best. Not only to repay the favor, but also because as a woman, she knows that everyone wants to leave an unforgettable impression on herself, her husband, and her family at a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, and she must be worthy of Yun Yichen's trust and conscience.
"If you can trust me, how about I design a new set of jewelry for you?" Xiao Yao believes that her dress will definitely work better with her jewelry.
"In a word, you are responsible for designing, and I am responsible for building." Yun Yichen didn't dare to be too happy, so he had to turn his head and pretend to admire the furnishings in the study.
"What are you talking about?" Why didn't I understand it at all, didn't understand it! In the eyes of the old man, Yun Yichen is a person who will start a family soon, and he personally sent the holy decree, which proves that he is pure in mind and completely different from those with ulterior motives.
There is no danger in talking to his granddaughter, and he can be classified into a harmless and unintended group.
"We're saying that the old man is happy today, shouldn't he have a drink?" Yun Yichen didn't want others to share his and Xiao Yao's secrets, so he had to find another topic.
"Yes, yes, Ping'an, how about you cook two side dishes for me and Yun Boy? The two of us had a drink to celebrate. Old Marquis Xiao's face seemed to be stretched, and he could see that he was really happy and happy.
"No problem, do you have anything in particular that you would like to eat? Say it and see if I can do it. "Xiao Yao now treats the old marquis as a child most of the time, coaxes him to be happy, chats with him, and even indulges him as he pleases.
"Yun boy has a rare opportunity, if you have anything you want to eat, just say, in addition to our own family, you are also the first foreign man to eat my granddaughter's own cooking!"
Today is really the right time, and the sweetheart also said, the request was also mentioned, I was going to accompany the old man to drink two cups back to the palace, I didn't expect to be able to harvest unexpected surprises, I actually had the opportunity to eat the dishes made by the little girl herself, great!
"Give my grandfather something spicy, simpler, the sooner the better." Old Marquis Xiao often tastes his granddaughter's craftsmanship, not to mention anything else, nourishing soups and easy-to-digest snacks are available every day.
"I'm just like the old man." After four years of training in the military camp, Yun Yichen's requirements for food have changed from being delicate and delicious to being able to eat enough and supplement basic nutrition.
"I see, let's go to the kitchen and get ready." When Xiao Yao saw that his grandfather got up to get the chessboard, he knew that he wanted to play two games with Yun Yichen, and the chess in the study was improved by Xiao Yao, and the men in the family would meet to kill two games as long as they had time.
"Go back and sit down, I'll get it." Xiao Yao stretched out his arm to stop his grandfather and asked him to sit back.
"When people are old, they should move their muscles and bones, you don't let me do this, and I am not allowed to move, and in a few years, my grandfather may not be able to move if he wants to."
"You are not allowed to say such things." Xiao Yao covered her grandfather's mouth with red eyes, and was afraid of suffocating him, and the old man hurriedly let go. She didn't leave, just stood there, looking at Old Marquis Xiao with resentful eyes, as if she was afraid that in the blink of an eye, if she didn't pay attention, she would disappear.
Being over seventy years old can definitely be called an advanced age in ancient times, how could Xiao Yao not be worried! That's why she stews tonic every day, rain or shine, and tries to spend as much time as possible with her grandfather.
Xiao Yao heard that Tang Hao's great-grandmother collapsed after hearing the news of his high school champion, and the eighty-year-old family doesn't know what happened now...... With the lessons of the past, how could she not be worried and afraid!
"What are you crazy about, you kid! Grandfather is in such good health and is not an old lady who will fall down when the wind blows, so you don't have to worry about me at all, go cook, grandfather is hungry. The old marquis stroked his granddaughter's delicate and smooth face with his rough and wide palm, and the contrast was so strong that the picture looked extremely harmonious at the moment, which was moving.
"Ahem, aren't you two welcoming me to this meal here? It seems that the meal has arrived, but I haven't eaten a single snack in the morning! Yun Yichen couldn't see Xiao Yao sad and crying the most, and he also wondered why other women would not make any waves in his heart even if they cried pear blossoms with rain and pity in front of him. Even if Xiao Yao only showed a sad look, her eyes were red, and her heart was as uncomfortable and painful as being squeezed in her hand.
This feeling is becoming more and more obvious and intense, it turns out that the heart and emotion are such feelings, Yun Yichen finally realized it profoundly.
"Go ahead, grandfather is hungry too." The old marquis patted his stomach and urged his granddaughter to act quickly, because he couldn't see his granddaughter sad.
After about half an hour, several dishes with full color and flavor were served: mapo tofu, stuffed pork with tiger skin and green peppers, diced spicy chicken, shredded fish-flavored pork, home-cooked cold dishes, egg custard with minced meat, and a pumpkin and kelp soup.
"I have an appetite when I smell it, Yun boy, come and taste it, let me tell you, my granddaughter's craftsmanship is no worse than that of a chef." Old Marquis Xiao said while handling the chopsticks, Yun Yichen can't take care of whether he eats or not, it's better to take care of himself first.
An old man and a young man couldn't stop eating delicacies, tasting wine and chopsticks, Yun Yichen had also heard his sister mention Xiao Yao making sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet soup for them to drink, at that time he thought that Xiao Yao was just a whim, occasionally doing it, how good the craftsmanship could be.
After eating today's dishes, Yun Yichen had to admit that Xiao Yao's craftsmanship was really good, not only was it full of color and flavor, but also her mind was delicate, and the egg custard and stuffed meat pepper should be specially prepared for the old man!
When the two of them were eating heartily, Xiao Fu leaned in from outside the door and told the old marquis: "Miss asked you to eat more egg custard and less spicy food, she is rolling noodles in the kitchen, let the two of you eat slowly." ”
The old marquis had soft tofu in his mouth, and he didn't have time to speak, so he had to nod his head and wave his hand to show that he knew, and the verbose little girl could retreat.
"From afar, I can smell the smell of spicy chicken, is there boiled fish? It's the old man who secretly eats alone in it! Am I late again today? Xiao Jingyan quickened his pace, expanded his pace, and it took half the usual time from the corner to the study.
"Dad, you're too boring, you'd rather invite outsiders to dinner than call your son, so many dishes can be eaten by two people? How can you just care about your own enjoyment and not consider the feelings of others! What about the people out there! Hurry up and get me a pair of chopsticks. Xiao Jingyan didn't wait for the old marquis to speak, he sat down with a buttocks, and the person sat down, but his mouth was not idle at all.
"If I hadn't reacted quickly and missed it again today, wouldn't I have told your old man that it's not good to eat too much spicy food when you're older? How can this be an exception, if Ping'an is itchy, I will take her to the county lord's mansion for two days, and let her cook every day, so as not to harm your old man. "It's so slow to take a bowl and chopsticks, are these people innocent so that they can't see it?
"Do you still want to eat, if you want to eat, shut up, my old man's business is not your turn to dictate, and ah! You and your daughter-in-law don't always have the idea of peace, our ancestors and grandchildren are fine in the Hou Mansion! I won't go to the county lord's mansion! ”
Waiting for the next person to hand over the dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Jingyan will not fight with his father anymore, the two of them are happier than one eater, Yun Yichen thought, eat, eat, eat in more than a year, the little girl will be her own, and then others will no longer want to taste her craftsmanship easily, everything she does is her own!
