Wang Xi naturally didn't know what impression his words had left on Chen Luo.

Chen Luo went to ask someone to buy doornail meatloaf and pear soup, and the two sat under the grape trellis and talked for a while.

This time, Chen Luo didn't talk about the family anymore, and Wang Xi didn't ask, but talked about how Mi Niangzi entered the house.

According to Chen Luo's statement, he has taken care of everything, Mi Niangzi will be arranged to sweep the floor in the outer courtyard, Mi Niangzi does not need to get close to Chen Yu, just need to help Chen Luo find out who comes to see Chen Yu every day, or who Chen Yu has seen.

Chen Luo also said: "It is impossible to know what Mi Niangzi is doing in such detail, and my father has not done it in vain for more than 20 years. She only needs to ask what she can hear, and don't force other things, so as not to startle the snake. ”

Wang Xi nodded, and the two discussed some details.

Chen Yu bought food and came back.

The two of them sat under the grape trellis and served dinner with doornails, meatloaf and pear soup.

Wang Ji's doornail meatloaf really lives up to its name, the skin is thin and filling, salty and delicious, and it is accompanied by sweet pear soup, which is both greasy and appetizing.

Wang Xi gave Chen Luo a thumbs up, feeling that Chen Luo was also a person who could eat.

Chen Luo smiled slightly, feeling that although Wang Xi was from a wealthy background and looked like a rich flower, he didn't expect it to be so easy to get rid of.

He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and some words came out of his mouth somehow: "The Qinggu next to my mother is very good at making a dish called 'Removing the Braised Silver Carp Head', if you are free one day, you can come to our house as a guest, and I will let the Qinggu make it for you!" ”

After speaking, he felt a little reckless, and hurriedly said: "Do you eat fish heads?" Or you can make hibiscus chicken bird's nest soup. She's also good at it. ”

Wang Xi was pleasantly surprised.

What she likes most is to eat, and if someone wants to share the food with her, of course she does!

"Yes, yes!" The nail patty was still a little hot when it was delivered, so she paused, and then said, "I eat almost everything." After she finished speaking, she thought about it and added, "I don't eat cats and dogs." I don't eat snakes, and I don't eat any ants, silkworms, or anything. There are also grasshoppers, bamboo insects, ......"

When she said that, she said a lot. Hearing this, Chen Luozhi frowned and said, "Did anyone give you these things?" ”

Wang Xi felt that it was not time to tell Chen Luo about their family's relationship with Miao Zhai and Tusi, so he said vaguely: "Someone once invited my eldest brother to eat a whole worm feast, and I was very curious, so I followed." I was so frightened that I didn't eat for days. ”

The whole insect feast, Chen Luo has heard of it but has not seen it, so he knows what it is when he thinks about it. But Wang Xi can see it with his own eyes, which shows that Wang Xi's vision is still very broad, at least wider than those Bo Liu and others from wealthy families in Beijing.

Bo Liu only knows how to embroider and make jewelry, and Wang Xi has also seen some things that ordinary men have never seen.

He said: "Then it's decided, one day I will rest, and I will invite you to eat the braised silver carp head made by Qinggu." ”

It's not that Wang Xi hasn't eaten it, but he needs four or five catties of silver carp heads to make this dish. This is a Huaiyang dish. There are not too many rivers in the capital. To make this dish, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble.

But she promised to say yes, so she simply thanked her, she decided to be more tolerant of herself, and said with a smile: "It would be better if I could make another hibiscus chicken bird's nest soup." ”

Chen Luo was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he was immediately a little happy.

He has a good background, except for a limited number of people, almost everyone holds him, and he has developed a temperament that is not very good at figuring out other people's intentions, and he is most afraid of interacting with others.

Sometimes he is obviously well-intentioned, but others misunderstand what he means. On the contrary, it is his malice, so obvious, everyone knows it.

He sometimes couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Chen Luo likes to deal with people like Wang Xi.

If you have anything to say, he can do it, and if he can't, say sorry. There is not so much false courtesy.

The people who invite them are comfortable, and the people who are invited are also satisfied, and everyone is happy.

Why bother to say that it is insincere, the person who made the guest spent a lot of effort, and the person who was invited still felt very reluctant, and everyone was not happy, and they were busy in vain.

"That's good." Chen Luo said, "Do you have anything else you want to eat?" ”

The two dishes that Qinggu is good at are Huaiyang cuisine, Wang Xi said: "Is Qinggu from Suzhou and Hangzhou?" ”

Chen Luo nodded and said, "How do you know?" ”

Wang Xi said his guess and ordered two more dishes, one was white-robe shrimp and the other was stir-fried cocoon.

These two dishes, one with large green shrimp and the other with coconut white, want to make authentic ingredients.

Chen Luo didn't know the difficulty, so he borrowed Qinggu to treat him when he went back.

Qinggu originally muttered that she didn't know who could make Chen Luo spend such a big setback, and when she got the menu, she was even more shocked, not to mention the braised silver carp head, it was this white, she hadn't eaten it for many years. To make this dish, in addition to spending a lot of effort to get the dish to the capital, it is almost out of the market.

If you don't set the date for the treat, even if Chen Luo solves the problem of transporting vegetables, if there is no food, even the gods will be in vain.

Chen Luo listened to Qinggu's reply, and didn't know what to say for a long time.

Wang Xi is ridiculing him? Or do you really want to eat?

Chen Luo pondered for a long time and couldn't come up with an answer, so he just didn't care if she was teasing him or really wanted to eat, he prepared it first, he didn't know it.

He ran around preparing things and didn't say anything.

Wang Xi returned to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion here, it was already a little late, Princess Fuyang had already returned to the palace, the red lantern at the door had been hung high, and from time to time you could see the maids cleaning the courtyard veranda after the guests dispersed.

She thought that everyone was tired of receiving Princess Fuyang, and they should all rest, who knew that Mama Shi was waiting for her at the Hanging Flower Gate, and when she saw her, she was overjoyed, and stepped forward to bow and salute: "My eldest lady, you are finally back, Mrs. Tai has been thinking about you?" I don't know if you were neglected when you went to Qingyun Marquis's Mansion? Have you been wronged, and even eat less dinner than usual.

"You go with me to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai can rest peacefully when she sees you."

The tone was a little more enthusiastic than usual, so that Wang Xi had to suspect that this was borrowing the light of Qingyunhou and the queen mother.

After all, she went out in the name of doing things for the queen.

Wang Xi smiled and greeted Mama Shi, and went to Mrs. Tai with her.

The room was brightly lit, and the little maids standing at the door were all red, more energetic than usual.

Wang Xi couldn't help but muttered in her heart: Could it be that something good happened when she was away?

When they entered the house, Mrs. Hou and the second wife were all there, and their eyes looking at Wang Xi were a little hot, which made Wang Xi think that he was wearing the wrong flowers and the wrong clothes for a while.

"Oops, Miss Cousin is finally back." Mrs. Hou and the second wife stood up together, compared to Mrs. Hou just looking at her and smiling, the second wife was much more attentive, crossed Mrs. Hou and took Wang Xi's hand, turned her head to Mrs. Hou and said, "I just said you don't have to worry, you see, Miss Biao is not coming back happily." ”

Mrs. Tai nodded, looking at Wang Xi with a relieved expression, and a little joy to re-examine her.

When Mrs. Tai spoke, Wang Xi knew why.

It turned out that she was halfway through the Qingyun Marquis Mansion, and Bo Mingyue sent someone to bring her a bunch of food, drink, and play.

The second lady smiled: "It was personally sent by the most powerful guy named Xiaosi by his side." ”

So...... She was temporarily invited by Miss Bo Liu, and she was given something by Bo Mingyue, did they think that the Bo family had something to do with her?

Wang Xi was confused, he didn't know what Bo Mingyue was doing, but he couldn't help but say what he could justify, otherwise it would really make the people of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion misunderstand, and it would be troublesome to make her and Bo Mingyue a pair.

She hurriedly said, "I'll send someone to give Bo Gongzi a gift tomorrow." Their family is also a little too particular. I didn't know what happened in the palace, Miss Bo Liu suddenly didn't have to enter the palace, I accompanied Miss Bo Liu to talk about embroidering and making clothes for a long time, but I didn't expect the Bo family to send a thank you gift. ”

I never thought that Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Hou, and the second wife would not fade from their enthusiasm when they heard it, and the second wife said more bluntly: "It's a good thing that the Bo family treats you like this. You might as well walk around more with the Bo brothers and sisters in the future. Speaking of summer, it is gone in a blink of an eye, and every year when the autumn hunting season comes, the emperor will take the test for the riding and archery of the children of various provinces. Your fourth, fifth, and sixth cousins will all be participating this year.

"At that time, if the Bo family can take care of one or two points, it is possible to enter Jin Wuwei, Yu Linwei, and even Teng Xiangwei."

The pit dug for her by the two ladies is waiting for her here!

Wang Xi was stunned.

Not to mention that she is not familiar with Miss Bo Liu and Bo Mingyue, even if she is, she feels that she may not have such a friendship with them.

She looked embarrassed.

Mrs. Hou couldn't sit still.

She has five sons, except for the eldest son, who will inherit the title and have a stable future in the future, the other four sons are not high or low. Especially the two youngest sons, if they don't have a serious errand when they say they are married, what kind of family can they say?

Originally, because she had no inheritance rights, she couldn't share anything from the family, if the wife family couldn't help her, and when she waited for her grandchildren, wouldn't it be no different from those small households?

"Miss Cousin probably doesn't know yet, does she?" Mrs. Hou opened her mouth a little eagerly, "In the first few years when the emperor first ascended the throne, he would personally preside over the autumn hunt, but in the last seven or eight years, the Marquis of Qingyun has helped the emperor preside over the selection of the autumn hunt horse shooting. The distant nephew of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion is not qualified at all according to the law, but last year he went to the autumn hunt through the Bo family, and he also got the ranking and entered Yulinwei. ”

When she said this, she was very angry.

Wang Xi was speechless.

If things are really as simple as Mrs. Hou said, then wouldn't anyone be able to go through this door?

And Chen Luo said that since there was another queen in the Qingyun Mansion, it has become very low-key. With the prudence of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion, if he really did something, it would be impossible for others to know.

At least not let the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion know.

Who's to say there's no story behind this?
