Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Visitation
The second lady pinched the post and came to Qiushuangzhai.
"Yan Yan, this plum banquet, the palace also sent you a post, I think I know that you are very good."
"Erniang, I'm fine, I can go." Chun Yuyan is no longer the self he used to be, and he replied calmly, and the bearing of the noble daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was gradually revealed.
The second lady nodded with satisfaction, after half a month of diet and medicinal bath conditioning, coupled with Chun Yuyan's daily exercise, although she is still round and jade, her skin is as white as jade, translucent and delicate, and her apricot kernel eyes are gradually glowing, and when she looks at a person, it seems to be a clear spring.
The bright eyes gradually open across the autumn water, and the beautiful eyes are blue and the eyebrows are shallow.
The second lady was very satisfied, clapped her hands, and a column of maids rushed in.
Chun Yuyan stared at the maids who put down the trays in their hands one by one, on which silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade, almost blinded her.
"Erniang, you are naughty again......" Chun Yuyan glanced at the second lady with disgust.
The second lady laughed and said, "Erniang is just taking precautions, but Yan Yan is looking better now, so she naturally needs beautiful clothes and jewelry to set off." ”
Chun Yuyan was born to be good-looking, and now the temperament is dazzling, and the second lady can imagine that Yan Yan will cause another sensation at the plum banquet.
Chun Yuyan was helpless, as the second lady carefully picked up the jewelry and clothes, since she decided to appear in front of everyone, it was naturally better to be pretty.
After a while, Jiao Niang also jumped over, the three of them were choosing things lively, the cold wind outside the door was biting, but the house was as warm as spring.
Prime Minister Chun Yu went down to the court, and when he returned to the house, he saw this scene, nodded with relief, and went to the study.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the queen's palace sent someone to send Laba porridge.
Every year, the palace will give Laba porridge to the families of the nobles and the ministers who are important in the court, and this year the queen actually sent the female officials around her.
The second lady was flattered and took the laba porridge and handed over a delicate purse.
The female official didn't refuse, took it with a smile, and said: "The queen mother often chatters, I haven't seen Mrs. for a long time, and the two girls in the house, especially the eldest girl, I heard that the eldest girl is in good health now, and the queen is very happy." ”
"Lao Niangniang is worried, and I will say hello to Niangniang another day." The second lady sent the female official away with a smile, but went to the prime minister's study with a frown.
Prime Minister Chun Yu also frowned.
Although he and the emperor have made it clear, the queen can't help but not know.
What does that mean? Woo yourself?
The prime minister was silent, just based on Yan Yan's appearance, he was very sure that the queen was coming for himself, and it seemed that the war for the prince had begun.
"My lord, why don't you let Yan Yan call her sick this time?" The second lady was worried and proposed.
The prime minister shook his head: "If you don't go this time, you may not be spared in the future, not to mention, she specially sent someone here, and said that she was afraid that she was sick and did not refuse, but it annoyed her first." ”
This queen was originally selected by the Queen Mother for Emperor Jian'an, and she looks graceful and magnificent, but she is actually thoughtful.
"How's that good? Yan Yan's appearance and heart do not match the palace. ”
The second lady clenched the handkerchief in her hand, if she married Yuan Su smoothly at that time, it would be good.
Thinking of Yuan Su, the second lady couldn't help but complain.
This is also a person like a mallet, I didn't mention it when I went on a blind date, and I tortured Meng Junhao in person, which was also a heavy blow to Yan Yan.
Lan Xiruo still has a letter on the left and a box of snacks on the right every day, hum, don't you know that Yan Yan is losing weight?
The second lady was a little regretful and a little annoyed, and they deserved to be husband and wife, just as annoying.
And the annoying Lan Xiruo is sitting in Chun Yuyan's Qiu Shuangzhai at the moment.
She has been here many times, and every time she was shirked by the second lady, she met Jiao Niang at the door today, and then entered the house.
"Sister Xiruo, sit down and taste the plum blossom tea I just brewed."
At the bottom of the clear tea, there are a few red and white plum blossoms floating, which looks elegant and fresh, and I take a sip of it, and the plum fragrance is scattered in the mouth along with the fragrance of tea.
"Good tea!" Lan Xiruo's eyes lit up and she praised it.
"Sister Hui Zhi Lanxin." Lan Xiruo couldn't help but take another sip and savor it slowly.
After the greetings, Lan Xiruo said with a straight face: "Sister Yan, I came today to say sorry, Yuan Suhe, upright, caused trouble to my sister, I, I have always wanted to apologize back then." ”
Although the exchange of letters between the two has been explained, Lan Xiruo still wants to apologize in person and visit Yan Yan.
Chun Yuyan pursed his lips and smiled: "Sister Lan doesn't have to be so polite, I actually have to thank Brother Yuan Su, if he hadn't made a quick decision, maybe I would still have been deceived by rhetoric, and I would have suffered even more at that time." ”
Lan Xiruo praised: "I didn't expect Sister Yan to be so transparent, sister, I have a lot to do with you." ”
For a while, Qiu Shuangzhai was warm, the two of them cherished each other, talked for a long time, Jiao Niang nested aside, watching them talk more and more happy, and also pursed their lips and smiled.
On the second day, Chun Yuyan was still worried about Du Bingxin's injury, and wanted to see it with his own eyes, so he took Jiao Niang to Yongchang Bofu.
When Mrs. Yongchangbo heard the news of Chun Yuyan's arrival, she couldn't sit still and hurried to Du Bingxin's courtyard.
At that time, Du Bingxin was directing the maids to build a strange shelf, a long strip-shaped tube made of copper, which was covered with red-hot charcoal, and was faintly smoking.
A few maids and mothers-in-law, some of them brought a small wooden board, cutting mutton, pork, and some mushrooms and vegetables, and some gathered around the small table, taking a long bamboo skewer with a sharpened bamboo stick, and skewering those thumb-sized pieces of meat into small red and white meat skewers.
Du Bingxin picked up a small pestle and sat in front of the charcoal, flashing in his hand the rolled up broken pu fan that his mother-in-law had just run to his room, while putting the meat skewers on the table on the fire to roast, and oil droplets fell into the fire, making a sizzling sound.
The meat skewers slowly changed color, Du Bingxin sprinkled another handful of cumin on them, humming "The shoes are broken, the hat is broken, the robe on the body is broken~", while turning the meat skewers, the aroma gradually floated up.
"Girl, it's so fragrant!" Du Bingxin's personal maid Moli snorted and couldn't help but admire.
Since her girl woke up from a coma with a fever two years ago, she has often done these strange things, saying inconsequential words, she was nervous at first, but after a long time, she got used to her fresh "moths" every once in a while.
"That's it, the fragrance is tight, oh, I'll give you a taste." Du Bingxin gave the grilled mutton skewers to Mo Li.
Mo Li was not polite, took it and took a careful bite, only to feel that the aroma was overflowing, the tender mutton with the smoke of charcoal, and the taste of cumin, it was almost fragrant off half of her tongue.
