79. The old marquis is coming to Beijing?
By the end of dinner, the others were fine, although they ate more than before, but it was much better than Chu Jingfeng, just because Chu Jingfeng had already slumped on the chair with his stomach and rolled his eyes, and the little guy who was waiting on the side was anxiously fanning Chu Jingfeng.
"Childe, are you feeling better?"
"No, no"
Chu Jingfeng was a little uncomfortable, and beckoned reluctantly, not even speaking.
Seeing this, the little guy couldn't help but be more anxious: "Childe, I have already ordered someone to make tea to eliminate food, and it will be fine in a while." ”
Chu Jingfeng grabbed the little guy's hand and said hard: "Go over, don't, don't bother me in front of me, bother me." ”
"You, it's like you haven't eaten anything good, I'm afraid that no one in the whole capital will believe in Prime Minister Chu's sister-in-law, and one day he will be like this because of eating, hahaha."
"Little Marquis."
Meng Wei gently tugged at Ye Zichuan's shirt behind him, worried that his straightforward words would make Chu Jingfeng angry and angry, and it would be bad to hurt the relationship between the two.
Unexpectedly, Chu Jingfeng was not angry, but just rolled his eyes at Ye Zichuan dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Mrs. Houhou also smiled and said: "Zichuan, if you don't say a word, shocking, if you like the food of the Hou Mansion, you can come to the Hou Mansion to eat at any time in the future, you don't have to support yourself like this." ”
"Auntie, even if you say that, he listens to it now, but when he sees the delicious food, he will leave it behind again, he is a very picky person and very keen on delicious food."
Hearing what the fourth prince said, the Marquis of the Protector smiled heartily: "Hahaha, but this is also understandable, who made Meng Wei's skills so good, I'm afraid that even the chefs of Xiangyun Mansion are not so good." ”
"That's what Master Hou said."
"Of course, it's all my discernment, otherwise you wouldn't have this kind of blessing."
Ye Zichuan was arrogant, although it was Meng Wei who was praised, but the smug look on Ye Zichuan's face was overflowing, as if the person who was praised was him.
Meng Wei, who was watching from the sidelines, said: It's good that the master is happy.
When Chu Jingfeng drank some tea to eliminate food and rested for a while, the feeling of stomach support was much better, and then the four princes left the Protector's Mansion together.
Thinking that there would be nothing to do, Meng Wei turned around and went back with Ye Zichuan and others, but she didn't want the porter to come in a hurry: "Master Hou, madam, someone sent a letter, it is a letter from the old Hou Ye." ”
"Daddy's letter?"
The Lord Protector took the letter with some surprise, and opened it with some eagerness on his face.
Since his father died three years ago, he returned to Quanzhou with some old departments and home, because that is the place where his father and his mother met and got married.
Although he often writes to the past, but his father is the kind of person who likes to be quiet, and it is rare to reply to him in February and March, I remember that the last time I received a letter was half a month ago, why did he write again so quickly this time?
The Marquis of the Protector mentioned in his heart, and his frowning brows couldn't help but slowly stretch after reading the letter.
Ye Zichuan was anxious when he saw this: "Dad, did grandfather say why he suddenly came to Beijing?" ”
The Protector handed the letter to Ye Zichuan, and the Protector's wife also followed.
The old marquis is coming to Beijing?
Meng Wei was as curious as if she was tickling when she heard this, but she couldn't read the words on the letter clearly when she stood behind her, not to mention that Xiao Yuanzi, an iceman who automatically cooled the air, was standing on the side, so that even if Meng Wei was curious, it was not obvious that it was too obvious.
She hadn't forgotten that she was still 'illiterate'.
After reading the letter, Ye Zichuan scratched his head and couldn't laugh or cry: "My grandfather heard the rumors and thought that I had been assassinated, so he rushed back to Beijing in such a hurry, and it was almost tomorrow."
Quanzhou and the capital are not very far away, if you hurry up, you can get there in three days, if you take a carriage, it is estimated that it will take five days.
"Mama Gui, you now arrange for a few people to clean up the yard where your father lives, and let people prepare some meals that your father-in-law likes to eat tomorrow morning."
"Yes, slave and maid will do it."
Mama Gui blessed her body and left, and the Marquis of the Protector beckoned: "It's not too late, let's go, I don't know if my father's body can stand it, let's rest first, and we will go to court tomorrow." ”
After Ye Zichuan and the Huguo Hou couple separated, when they entered the Sichuan Courtyard, Meng Wei had the courage to ask: "Little Hou Ye, I don't know what the old Hou Ye likes to eat?" ”
"What does grandfather like?"
Ye Zichuan paused, and the figure with her back to Meng Wei made it impossible for her to analyze his heart through Ye Zichuan's expression.
Meng Wei waited for a while, only to hear Ye Zichuan reply: "Probably, maybe, maybe there is nothing you don't like to eat, you look at it, my grandfather is not a picky eater, and your craftsmanship is so good, I believe he will not dislike it." ”
this
Dare to ask, what's the difference between saying this and not saying it?
However, Meng Wei could only bite the bullet and continue to ask: "Then I don't know if the old marquis likes sweet, spicy or other flavors?" ”
"I like to eat meat, I like to eat everything, and my grandfather said that it was because I couldn't eat meat before, so I love meat very much."
"The slave and maid have thanked the little marquis, and tomorrow the slave and maid will definitely make the old marquis satisfied."
If it's just meat, then it's too easy to do, but Meng Wei is a careful cook, so naturally it's impossible to just ask one or two questions.
"That little marquis, I don't know how the old marquis is doing? The slave is afraid that this person is old, and his body is not as tough as that of young people, so for the sake of good health, the doctor will let him eat less meat and greasy. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, my grandfather's body is very strong, don't look at him in his fifties, but he still rides a horse and plays with a knife, and in the past, he often went to the capital to make profits and hone the martial arts of those soldiers, even I have to sigh to myself."
Meng Wei opened her mouth, a little surprised: "I didn't expect the old marquis to be so powerful, I'm really looking forward to seeing the old marquis tomorrow." ”
Xiao Yuanzi followed Ye Zichuan to serve, and Meng Wei went to the kitchen.
Dinner had just ended, and the cook hadn't finished her business so quickly.
When Meng Wei arrived, Aunt Lin was cleaning up the spices and ingredients on the stove, and when she saw Meng Wei coming, she didn't see her outside, so she pulled Meng Wei and sat down at the table.
"Come on, come on, I'm waiting for you, today the fourth prince and the prince of Chu came to the Hou Mansion, I thought you must not be able to eat well, so I tried to make a few cold dishes you made today, let's eat together."
"Haven't you eaten yet?"
No matter how you say it now, more than an hour has passed since the time of dinner, and it stands to reason that the meals of the masters are served, and Aunt Lin and the things at hand are also done, and they will start, so Meng Wei never thought that they hadn't eaten yet.
