Chapter 270: Harmony is Precious 4
Not out of fifteen or years. The whole Bian'an City is still a lively scene.
After the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Banquet, the next thing is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
But for Lin Ruo, during this period, there is another very important day - the seventh day of the first lunar month, Gu Mengyao's birthday.
Of course, this day is also a relatively important day for the people - the People's Day Festival, praying for blessings and peace, thinking of relatives and friends.
In the past, on this day every year, Lin Ruo would stay quietly in the kitchen of the Lin Mansion, prepare a large table of good wine and food, and have a happy meal with everyone, pretending that everyone would accompany her for the real birthday.
But this year, Li Yan moved Lin Qian and brought Lin Qi and Li Xien to King Rong's Mansion together.
Li Yan knew Lin Ruo's true identity, and naturally knew Lin Ruo's true birthday, so he did this.
For this friendship, Lin Ruo was naturally very moved.
The kitchen of the palace is also no stranger to Lin Ruo, and Sister-in-law Feng also welcomes this superb princess to come to the kitchen and give her advice on the dishes she cooks. However, there is only the guidance on cooking and ingredients, Princess Rong's exquisite knife work, inherited from the ghost doctor, she has never had a chance to learn in her life.
Because Lin Ruo was busy in the kitchen, the heavy responsibility of leading everyone around the palace fell on Youcao and Tao Fu. This time, Li Yan also brought Zhu Xuan, although he nominally regarded Zhu Xuan as the maid of the Lin Mansion, but Youcao knew the arrangements of his own young lady, so when he took Zhu Xuan, he clearly explained the location and roads of the courtyards of the palace.
Fortunately, Qingqu was left by Lin Ruo's side to help, otherwise Youcao's enthusiasm for Zhuxuan would cause Qingqu to think more, causing Lin Ruo's silent grace on Chinese New Year's Eve to be in vain.
The dishes were all carefully prepared by Lin Ruo; The wine was carefully selected and sent by Li Yan.
At the moment when the aroma of wine began to disperse, Lin Ruo was surprised: "This is the wine made by Miss Hu?" ”
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Why, even the winemaker can smell it this time?" ”
Lin Qi looked surprised, and while dialing the dishes for Li Xien, he said: "King Ning likes Sister Qiu's wine the most, and the second sister has a good relationship with King Ning, and she often goes to Sister Qiu to sell wine." Brother Li, you don't know, Sister Qiu's wine was not so clear, and the second sister gave her an unknown recipe, and since then, the color and taste of the wine have been completely reborn! ”
"And such a thing?"
"Of course!" Lin Qi was quite proud, "In addition to the female red, what can't the second sister do?" ”
Lin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this kid, even if he wants to praise her, he won't forget to hurt her, it is estimated that he has been too close to Su Muyu in the past few months.
Li Yan smiled treacherously: "No, there is one more, Ah Ruo will not either." ”
When Lin Qi heard this, he became energetic: "Oh? What is it? ”
"The family is divided into two houses, and there are many children and grandchildren in the two houses. More is less than less, and less is more than more. ”
Li Yan didn't say anything, but sold Guanzi.
Lin Ruo knew that what he said was that he didn't know how to calculate, and Lin Qian also knew, but Lin Qi was the only one who couldn't guess it, and shouted: "What is more and less, and less is more?" What the hell is it? ”
Looking at Lin Qi'er's annoyed appearance, Li Xien slowed down the speed of eating vegetables and looked at him with big black eyes: "Little uncle, what's wrong?" ”
Lin Qi pursed his lips and said to Li Xi's "black state": "Your father bullied me for being shallow!" ”
Li Xien listened to it twice, understood the meaning of the words, blinked his eyes and looked at his calm father, then at the aunt who covered her mouth and snickered, and at Grandpa Lin, who was in a happy mood, stretched out her hand, touched Lin Qi's head, and said: "Don't be sad, don't be sad, Xien doesn't bully the little uncle." ”
This is Lin Ruo's way of comforting Li Xien, every time Li Xien is afraid or wronged, Lin Ruo will touch Li Xien's head and comfort him softly, "Don't be afraid, my aunt is here", or "It's okay, my aunt thinks Xi'en is very powerful."
Therefore, when Li Xien felt Lin Qi's frustration, he subconsciously chose this most familiar way to comfort him.
Li Xien didn't feel anything, but Lin Qi's eyes widened, and he looked at him with a wooden voice, and his mouth that opened in surprise could fit a boiled egg.
When Lin Qi was young, Lin Ruo also comforted and encouraged him in this tone, but with the same tone and actions, he became a little guy who was four years younger than him and a generation lower than him, how could he feel weird.
Seeing Lin Qi looking at him in a daze and not speaking, Li Xien blinked, turned his head and asked Lin Ruo: "Auntie, did Xi'en say something wrong?" ”
Lin Ruo couldn't help laughing, touched his head, and said softly: "Xi'en is not wrong, Xi'en is very good." ”
After getting Lin Ruo's affirmation, Li Xien grinned, then picked up the chopsticks, clumsily sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Lin Qi's bowl, and said, "Little uncle, eat." ”
Lin Qi looked at Li Xien's bright eyes, pursed his mouth, touched his head, and said, "Okay." ”
chewed the ribs depressedly, but the crispy taste quickly attracted Lin Qi's attention, and his depressed mood was swept away.
After the meal was used up, the servants and maids served fragrant tea, only Li Xien was a fragrant fruit tea, sweet and sour, and the taste was particularly good, Lin Qi leaned over again, and also changed to a fruit tea, smashing it: "Second sister, this fruit tea tastes good, can you give the recipe to the gluttonous sea?" ”
Lin Ruo smiled: "You, a young owner, are really competent, and you want to send any good things to the gluttonous sea." ”
Lin Qi was a little proud: "You can't say that, after all, it's a second ...... The cash cow of the Lin family can't be sloppy! ”
Because it was in King Rong's Mansion, Lin Qi still forcibly changed his words.
"Okay, it just so happens that in a few days, I'm going to Gluttony Sea to pick up some sauces."
When Lin Qi heard this, there was excitement in his eyes: "Second sister, are you going to prepare a new dish again?" ”
Lin Ruo shook his head: "No, the letter from the prince seems to have a bad appetite and is not suitable for the food in the army." I'd like to mix some appetizing sauce and send it to the army. ”
Lin Qi, who was fed a mouthful of dog food, laughed twice, and then said, "Second sister, you, Princess Rong, are quite competent." ”
Lin Ruo smiled calmly and replied, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
Thinking of something suddenly, Lin Ruo patted his head, and then said to Lin Qian: "By the way, uncle, on the birthday of the imperial grandmother, I saw Mrs. Xuanlu in the palace. ”
Lin Qian's face jumped, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Mrs. Xuanlu? ”
Lin Ruo nodded: "That's right." Uncle, didn't you tell me the story of Mrs. Xuanlu before! When I saw it that day, Mrs. Xuanlu was really a heroine among women! However, I am afraid that the root of the disease fell at that time, and Mrs. Xuanlu's health was not very good. ”
"How?"
"I happened to have a leg attack on my wife that day, and I took a cursory look at it, probably because the dampness was too heavy."
Lin Qian was silent for a moment and said, "There are some good vine stone pines in the pharmacy, if you want to visit the Hou Mansion during the year, bring them with you." ”
