Chapter 18: Breakfast (3)
Chen'er?
Mrs. Hou has always called her by her name, and when there are outsiders, she just calls her Jiachen, but now she is called so intimately, it is too fake.
Sitting next to Mrs. Hou's left hand was Tao Ruan, who was looking at Luo Jiachen with fiery eyes at the moment, as if to say that as long as she dared to sit on Mrs. Hou's right hand, she would look good.
Of course, Luo Jiachen didn't care what Tao Ruan thought, the main thing to deal with today was Mrs. Hou, so he sat in the position shown by Mrs. Hou obediently.
As soon as he sat down, Tao Ruan said in a weird manner: "Your skirt doesn't look cheap, you are so rich, Luo Jiachen." ”
This skirt must have been bought with the silver given by the prince, and the embroidery and fabric are not cheap at first glance, she is really embarrassed to consume!
Luo Jiachen can't deny it, this is in exchange for saving Feng Lingxi's life, he is a dignified son of a noble man, she is not the Virgin Mary, what she lacks most now is money, how can she do that kind of behavior of doing good deeds without leaving a name.
"Ruan'er, how did my mother teach you?" Mrs. Hou seemed to blame, but in fact, she didn't mean to blame at all.
Luo Jiachen didn't bother to care, the mother and daughter sang a double reed to show her, and she naturally had no reason to refuse.
After a while, breakfast was presented, with rice porridge, soy milk, fried dough sticks and soup wontons, which looked sweet and delicious, but it was too much for three people to eat.
Aunt Fu just wanted to step forward, but was persuaded by Mrs. Hou's look, and smiled and gave Luo Jiachen a bowl of soy milk, "It's not suitable to eat too greasy things in the early morning, drink some soy milk to warm your stomach first." ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Hou." Luo Jiachen took the soy milk and took a sip, the aroma of soybeans lingering on the taste buds.
In this era, there are no modern machinery, most of them have to be made by hand, and I have to say that this handmade soy milk is really mellow.
"You kid, what are you polite, make whatever you want to eat." Mrs. Hou gave herself and Tao Ruan a bowl of soy milk each, and after taking a sip, she asked, "Chen'er, you are also thirteen after the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
"Yes, Madame Hou."
"In two years, you will be in time, time flies quickly, you were only three years old when you arrived at the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and it has been ten years in the blink of an eye." Mrs. Hou recalled, her face full of emotion.
Luo Jiachen felt a little disdainful in his heart, how could this old witch be embarrassed to sigh here, if it weren't for the joy of the Tao Xuanyu named Tao, the original owner should be a happy little girl in the countryside now, why should she be imprisoned in the high walls of the Quartet, send people under the fence every day, and do everything to see people's faces.
"Speaking of which, the Marquis of Yongchang's Mansion is also your mother's family, and I turned around and married Xuan Yu, we are not only your mother's family, but also your mother-in-law's family, it's really close to each other."
When Tao Xuanyu was a child, he was frail and sickly, and sought medical treatment in many ways to no avail, and finally Mrs. Hou invited a master, who calculated the hexagram for Tao Xuanyu, saying that he needed a girl with the same characters to be a child daughter-in-law. Originally, this matter was a needle in a haystack, and the master said that this girl was in a small town in the water town south of the Yangtze River. Mrs. Hou's maiden family was already a well-known tea merchant in the Jiangnan area at that time, and her connections were relatively wide, so she soon found the girl and brought her to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
In fact, Luo Jiachen did not have the surname Luo at the beginning of the period, it was Mrs. Hou who said that she had an eye relationship with this girl, and Mrs. Hou's surname was Luo, so she named Luo Jiachen with the girl's own surname.
If you talk about it by the surname, Yongchanghou can indeed be regarded as Luo Jiachen's mother's family, but there is no blood relationship.
