At lunchtime, the children of the private school went to the stove in turn and took the food from Ye Rou.

Everyone's lunch was brought by home, but it was heated up by the stove at the husband's house.

Ye Rou deliberately asked Yao Ruzhou to come in at the end of the queue to get the food box, so that he could give him an autumn pear.

"Look at the others, they all bring fruits, either pears or dates, this season is the most sweet and refreshing, all over the city, and it doesn't cost a few dollars, your sister, how can you not bring a few."

Ru Zhou licked his lips childishly, and when he reached out to pick it up, Ye Rou suddenly said in surprise: "Ah, after a day's work, you have a lot of blisters on your hands." ”

Yao Ruzhou was in the West Garden and was assigned by Yao Huan to dig a pit. The doll's skin was thin and tender, and there were a few blisters, he didn't feel anything, but at this moment, he was asked by Mr. Shao's soft-spoken servant, coupled with the cleanly washed autumn pear, Yao Ruzhou suddenly felt that Ye Rouci's gentle and careful appearance taught him to feel close.

"Thank you, Sister Ye. It's fine, it'll be fine in a few days. ”

Ye Rou smiled and naturally asked about the situation of the banquet.

Ru Zhou's heart moved, his black eyes rolled, and he chatted with Ye Rou innocently.

After talking for a while, Ye Rou interrupted him first: "You go back to the classroom, after all, it's not Futian, the food is cold and it's not good to eat, I also have to serve Mr. to eat." ”

……

Shao Qing was sitting in the study next to the classroom, closing his eyes and recuperating, when Ye Rou walked in with a food plate.

He smelled a fishy smell with a sour smell.

Ye Rou said happily: "Some time ago, I bought fresh goat's milk in the morning market, and when I came back, I put it in a sheepskin bag, and covered it in a stone jar, and covered the board on it. Today is the right time to cook chyle soup cakes. ”

She carefully brought a huge porcelain bowl to Shao Qing, and added: "After I came, I saw that Mr. likes to eat woad vegetables, so I also added minced woad vegetables to it, Mr. Try it while it's hot." ”

Shao Qing glanced at the sour cheese soup cake in the big bowl.

has nothing to do with official or important matters, he is indifferent to Ye Rou at most, but he will not be harsh and disgusted.

It's just that the soup cake in front of me, alas, I really don't want to eat it.

The Khitan was originally a fishing and hunting people, and at the beginning of the country, they either ate meat, cattle and sheep's milk, or fish, or dug some wild vegetables. It was not until Shi Jingjiao dedicated the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun that the Han people who had integrated into the northern land brought farming techniques and wheat and rice began to be cultivated on the vast and fertile land around Yanjing Prefecture, and the Liao began to cook grains in large quantities.

However, the Liao people still love to add goat's milk to grains, whether it is stewed rice porridge or boiled soup cakes.

Shao Qing remembers that when he was a teenager, he and a few children of Han officials went out on a hunting trip, and he often found some dead branches to make a fire on the river beach outside the city, hung a stone pot on his head, boiled wheat skin with sour butter syrup, and served freshly roasted rabbit meat as a wild lunch.

Many times, Ye Rou and her sister were also there. Ye Rou is four or five years younger than their group of brothers and sisters, but she is not inferior to older children in horseback riding and picnics.

Ye Rou's sister was the oldest in a group of noble children, so she joked to Shao Qing: "Shizi, is it okay for my sister to be a lady for you?" The lady we Han people talk about is the wife of the prince. ”

However, now, ten years later, Shao Qing really has no appetite when he sees this big bowl of sour cheese soup cakes.

And what made him even more helpless was some of Ye Rou's words and behaviors when she faced him after she came to Kaifeng.

He himself is tasting the taste of being trapped in love and not yet earning a result, how can he not recognize those subtle but real emotions and expressions.

The eldest daughter of the Ye family has made several achievements in Kaifeng, successfully returned to the north, and became the daughter-in-law of the Yelu family.

Ye Thorn is a Han official, is he still not satisfied, and he still wants his youngest daughter to be Mrs. Xiao, so that his bloodline will finally be completely integrated into the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, and the Ye family will go to the next level from now on?

"What's so good about being born in the Great Liao royal family? The surname Yelu and the surname Xiao, what's so good! ”

In Shao Qing's ears, the scream of his mother Yelu sounded again.

The maids didn't dare to approach the hostess who was covered in Luo Qi but had a disheveled hair, only the father, no, to be exact, was the adoptive father, with his arms outstretched, wanting to slowly approach his wife, while comforting softly: "It's over, it's all over, look at Qing'er, how cute and sensible." Qing'er, come, join me in persuading your aunt. ”

The time his adoptive father looked back at him, Shao Qing, who was only seven or eight years old at the time, never forgot it in the years that followed.

The adoptive father, the descendant of Xiao Tzulin, the Khitan nobleman who has no blood relationship with him, is the Liao man who Shao Qing really admired and trusted after he broke free from the ice cellar with his mother. Therefore, Shao Qing accepted all the training, tempering, and entrustment of his adoptive father to him.

"Sir, Xiao Linya (Lin Ya is the name of the person who has won the Jinshi in the Liao Kingdom) and my father, I think I am the best candidate to replace my sister, and Mr. is the same as Lu Gang, you can do whatever you want."

Shao Qing thought about what Ye Rou said when she first came to Kaifeng and saw her for the first time, and sighed slightly in the depths of her heart.

He picked up the white porcelain spoon, looked kind, and said to Ye Rou, who was full of anticipation: "Okay, I'll try this buttermilk soup cake." ”

Ho, the sour stomach that is hard to swallow.

In fact, I have only lived in Kaifeng for five or six years, and the taste has become so thorough?

Shao Qing drooped his eyelids, sucking the soup cake crust in small sips, and couldn't help but remember that around the Dragon Boat Festival, in Shen Fuzhi's small courtyard, Yao Huan made him cold chicken soup with shallot juice.

The kind of fresh and refreshing staple food without greasy fermentation, like the three crisps of the mountain family in the dish, is in line with his current preferences.

For example, the calligraphy of the southern people and the paintings of the southern people are handsome and cheerful.

And Ye Rou, who was standing at the table, was a little apprehensive at first, and always felt that Shao Qing was frowning when he ate noodles, but gradually, she was sure that the look on his face was calm and even a little comfortable, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground.

"Sir, just now Ruzhou told me something about the palace Yaji." Ye Rou tentatively started the topic.

Shao Qing gently stirred the soup cake in the **, and said in a casual tone: "Hmm, this doll is compatible with you, what did he say?" ”

Ye Rou raised her eyebrows, and said: "This big doll doesn't know anything serious, I probed a few words, but he couldn't tell the names of a few guests, only said that there was a little prince with a purple and gold crown, and he was very magnificent." Oh, he also said that the Zeng family, who recognized his sister as a righteous daughter, did have a good-looking son, and always went to see his sister, Yao Niangzi. ”

Shao Qing "snapped" and let go of the porcelain spoon, stared at the soup cake for a moment, and raised his head.

"What Ruzhou is talking about is Zeng Wei, Zeng Bu's fourth son. Lu Gang is able to do things, and the people who were installed in Zeng's Mansion have already talked about this Zeng Shilang. Don't see that this person is still only a prisoner of a national prison, compared to his brother Zeng Ti, Zeng Shuxiang seems to have high hopes for this young son. ”

Shao Qing said these two or three sentences coldly, and Ye Rou smacked his tone, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

He was so smart that he couldn't hear what she meant?

But he ignored it and avoided it.

Ye Rou's stunned suddenly rushed up.

She was heartbroken, and said to Shao Qing: "Sir, that Yao Niangzi is good friends with my family, if she is accepted by Zeng Shilang as a female dependent, what is going on in Zeng's mansion, wouldn't we know more?" ”
