Chapter Seventy-Seven: Sauerkraut Fish

When the banquet was dispersed, neither Ling Yuanhui nor Li came out to see off the guests. Although there are doubts in people's hearts, it is not easy to ask about this matter, so they are all stuffy in their hearts. That night, two girls died in the second room.

Ling Yuanhui didn't ask anything from Ling Ke, and Ling Ke was also attacked from behind and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, so he didn't know anything. Ling Ke was still dizzy when he was woken up, and then he was beaten twenty boards in a daze.

Ling Yuanhui's face was ashen, he knew that he was designed. But who could have done such a thorough plan to design him? Could it be that the father and son knew about his assassination of Ling Yuanhang and began to fight back against him? It must be said that Ling Yuanhui really guessed the core of the matter at once.

The second room scolded and cried all night. The next day, the Li family fell ill, and the two palace maids Lu Yi and Red Clothes were not ordinary women, so naturally they couldn't wait for the family law, so they had no choice but to be the aunt of the second master Ling. Since the next day, there have been rumors outside that the second master Ling drank too much wine at his niece's weekly banquet, and the two maids were hungry at one time, and the two girls were still the palace maids given to Ling Yuanhang by the emperor. These two palace maids have always been snubbed by Ling Hang, and they have never been used, and this time they are all cheaper to be uncles. There are even more ugly things to say outside, Ling Yuanhui's face turned blue with anger after hearing the news.

What's even more interesting is that when Ling Yuanhui went to the court, in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor joked leisurely and said: "Ling Aiqing, I heard that there is a lack of beautiful women around you, Qing is the pillar of the court, I should also reward you, today I will give Aiqing two beautiful women home and enjoy it." ”

The ministers below remembered what happened at the banquet that day, although they were not at the scene, but they could imagine that these officials, which family did not have a few beautiful women. They imagined the fragrant scene of Second Master Ling that day, so they stifled their laughter, and made Ling Yuanhui so ashamed that there was a crack in the ground for him to get into.

When there was a lot of trouble in the second room, Yin Hui sent someone to the county king's mansion to deliver the letter, and Yayi gave birth to a big fat boy. Yaru was so happy when she heard it. Let people send the good news of Yayi's birth. She must go to see the second sister and little nephew herself. Ling Yuanhang happened to be resting today, so he accompanied Yaru to see Yayi.

Ling Yuanhang didn't ride a horse today, but rode in a carriage with Yaru. The carriage was spacious enough to lie down. There is also a small desk inside, on which there is a plate of melon seeds, a plate of peanuts, and tea next to it. The two sat in the carriage, eating snacks and drinking tea at the same time, chatting comfortably about family life.

Yaru said: "What happened at the banquet can be regarded as ruining the reputation of the second uncle a lot. The news outside was released by the husband, right?"

Ling Yuanhang smiled: "I almost died in his hands twice. This is just what he found himself, and he can't complain about others. This was just the beginning, the second uncle had done enough to expel him from the Ling family. But if you leave the clan, it will inevitably affect Ah Yu and Ah Fan. The father's choice of this method only hurt Ah Yu and Ah Fan as little as possible. ”

Ah Yu's wedding date is set for April, and in the past few days, Ah Yu and Ah Fan have also been troubled by their parents. Thinking of those two sunny and sensible teenagers, Yaru couldn't help but be a little worried about them. You must know that in ancient times, reputation was very important, and a person's reputation can be related to his parents, brothers and sisters, and even uncles and blood relatives.

After Ling Yuanhui returned to Beijing, although the family has accepted several aunts one after another, they have not yet gone outside. So he still looks sanctimonious in people's hearts. And this incident made the aristocratic circle in the capital completely nail him to the merry record book, and his whole personality has undergone essential changes. This is in response to the saying: good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.

When the two arrived at Shangshu Mansion, Yin Hui and his mother, Mrs. An, greeted them. After greeting each other, Yin Hui led the voyage to meet Yin Shangshu. Yin Hui is now Dr. Guozijian, and he is the seventh product. Mrs. An led Yaru to see Yayi.

Yayi's room was a little stuffy. Yayi was lying on the bed with a curtain, and when she saw Yaru come in, she sat up happily.

Yaru hurriedly stepped forward and pressed her and said, "Second sister, you should lie down." ”

Yayi said: "It's not good to always lie down, I just happened to get up and move." ”

Yaru asked with concern: "Second sister, are you okay to eat, is there any discomfort on your body?"

Yaru smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's just that the confinement meal is too light and has no taste." ”

Mrs. An interjected with a smile next to her: "If you eat salty food this confinement, then you will get sick, and the illness caused by the confinement will be with you for a lifetime in the future, and the patience will pass." ”

At this time, the nurse came over with her brother in her arms, but Yaru didn't dare to hug her. But she especially wanted to hug her sister's child. Mrs. An smiled and said, "Princess, you are still pregnant, don't hold it." ”

Yaru gave up, and Mrs. An put the child next to Yayi. Yaru went to see the child, and in the thin swaddling clothes, the newborn baby's little face was still wrinkled, and the little face was still red. But the contours of the eyebrows and eyes can already be seen.

Yaru looked at the little baby and felt soft-hearted, she said fondly: "Second sister, have you named your brother?"

"My father-in-law named him Yin Huaijin, and his nickname was Brother Jin. Yayi said with a smile.

Yaru touched Brother Jin's little hand with her hand: "Second sister, look at this little nose and mouth, this is a copy of the second brother-in-law." As he spoke, he gently shook Brother Jin's little hand: "Brother Jin, open your eyes and let your aunt see who our Brother Jin's eyes look like." ”

Brother Jin seemed to hear the call of his little aunt, and he really opened his eyes slowly. Yaru's eyes lit up, and she said childishly: "Second sister, can he hear it, how can it be so coincidental, I called him, and he really woke up." Then he looked at the child, "These eyes look like those of a mother, round and large." Brother Jin, there will definitely be many girls vying to marry in the future. ”*

Yayi smiled: "Don't you just have one in your belly, if it's a daughter, let's be a family." ”

Yaru was startled, thinking, that can't be done, the blood is too close. So she said in her mouth: "That's a good thing, but when the child grows up, I'm afraid that I have ideas in my heart, so let's wait until I'm older." ”

Yayi remembered that she had also been emotionally attached to Ling Yuanhang, so she understood the meaning of Yaru's words, so she smiled and stopped insisting.

The sisters spoke again. Someone from outside came to spread the word, saying that Ling Yuanhang was leaving. So Yaru said goodbye and walked out of the Yin family with Ling Yuanhang.

This is the first time for the couple to go out together, and they finally rushed to Ling Yuanhang Mu Xiu. Neither of them wanted to go back early, so they started to shop around. The two first looked at a few of their own shops, and then went to Tianyi Pavilion for dinner.

Guan Xin, the shopkeeper of Tianyi Pavilion, hurriedly came over to salute when he saw the owner coming in. This point happened to be the time for dinner, and Ling Yuanhang went directly to the private room on the second floor. Guan Xin personally came over to serve tea, and Xiao Er was also busy coming over to see what the owner ordered. Meals served quickly. Yaru chatted with Ling Yuanhang while eating. "Xianggong, you have eaten so many restaurants in the capital, have you ever eaten a special dish?" Yaru asked Ling Yuanhang.

"In fact, the dishes in each restaurant are basically the same, and there is nothing special. Ling Yuanhang said as he took a piece of fish meat that had been stripped and put it in Yaru's bowl. "Eat more fish, it's good for children. ”

Yaru smiled: "Husband still understands this." However, is there only a few ways to do this fish, can you change the method? For example, make something sour and spicy. ”

Ling Yuanhang teased her: "As the old saying goes, sour and spicy girls, you want to eat sour and spicy." Don't you have a pair in your belly? ”

Yaru Yanran: "If that's the case, it will be trouble-free, just two at a time." But whether Yaru has one or two in her stomach, she has to think about how this fish can make a modern taste of sauerkraut fish.

In fact, there was sauerkraut in ancient times, it was not called sauerkraut at that time, but it was called woad, woad was originally a southern dish, it is said that it was introduced to the north in the Tang and Song dynasties, but no one used it to make fish.

Yaru called Guan Xin and said to him: I want to eat sour and spicy fish, you go and buy some cabbage, and when you stew fish, put some cabbage in it, and put more spicy seeds. However, you must make sure to fillet the fish into thin slices when cooking. You let the guy try the meal, and the meal is delicious, so send it to the county king's mansion for me to taste first.

Guan Xin nodded hurriedly and said, "Princess, let them do it in the afternoon." ”

Yaru didn't know how to cook at all in modern times, and when she ate sauerkraut fish in a restaurant, she thought it was particularly delicious, but Yaru couldn't cook it. So she simply asked the shopkeeper to take the chef to study. If it's really delicious, make it a specialty of the restaurant. This will also attract more customers.

This dish was sent to the county king's mansion the next night, Yaru smelled the smell, and felt a little familiar, so she picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, she felt that the fish flavor made by Tianyi Pavilion was slightly different from the sauerkraut fish made in the modern restaurant, but it was also sour and spicy, and it was still quite delicious.

So Yaru said to the guy who delivered the food: "Go back and tell your shopkeeper that this dish is a special dish in the restaurant, and the price can be a little higher." Then RosΓ© gave the fellow a reward, and the fellow went away happily.

Yaru asked Peach to take the fish to Linlang. It happened that the king of the county was also there, so the three of them sat down to eat together. Junwang and Linlang were full of praise for this dish. I also heard that Yaru set it as a special dish of Tianyi Pavilion Restaurant, and I couldn't help but appreciate Yaru's approach.

Linlang Kua Yaru: "Aru, you are really capable, the business of this Wanfu Buzhuang has been getting better and better since the embroidery girl was set up, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of guests with such a special dish in a pavilion restaurant on this day." ”

Yaru was a little proud, but her face was still modest: "Where, it's just a small dish." ”

Although Linlang and Yaru are nominally mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, because the age difference between the two is not too big, their temperaments are compatible, and they are both informal people, they usually get along very easily. As soon as she saw Yaru's little expression, Linlang knew that she was proud again, so she smiled at the county king and said, "Look, Ru'er is proud again." ”
