Because of Yan Tong's interruption, Yan Yan took a special look at her, but she didn't say anything.

Next, Yan Yan took the initiative to turn the topic to food, she knew that this era also has certain requirements for the cooking skills of these boudoir women, not to mention being proficient, but there must be one or two specialties or dim sum that can be taken out, so Yan Yan asked everyone what the dishes they are good at.

Knowing that Zhou Wan is best at making glutinous rice cakes, especially wormwood glutinous rice cakes in spring, Yan Yan smiled and invited her to teach her another day. Yan Yan also likes to eat mugwort glutinous baba, and her grandmother in the previous life made it for her, but unfortunately after entering the city, she couldn't eat that taste anymore.

As he was talking, Qingxiu came in and said that dinner had been arranged.

So, Yan Yan helped Qingmiao, led everyone to the flower hall, this meal, the soup arranged is Buddha jumping over the wall, Yan Yan sent people to the restaurant to get it, the dishes are mainly fish and shrimp, in addition to Mingyuan's unique salt and pepper eel shreds and braised eel segments, there are sour soup fish, fish head tofu, casserole fish ball pot and salt and pepper shrimp, the meat has a white cut chicken and sauce duck, the rest is the new vegetables in the garden, there are wild cress, spring bamboo shoots, chicken hair vegetables and wild onions, the staple food is dumplings filled with shrimp and purse.

This meal broke the rule of not saying anything, mainly because there were no elders here, these little girls let go, and most of the dishes prepared by Yan Yan were something they had never eaten before, so they couldn't help but comment a few words, and they would also ask about the recipe of a certain dish.

After the meal, Yan Yan left everyone to drink tea, and ordered someone to send them home one by one before dark.

In fact, according to Yan Tong's original intention, she wanted to stay and talk to Yan Yan, or simply stay here for one night, but Yan Yan could see from her words that she still cared about and maintained Yan Yu, so she didn't want to stay and she was unhappy.

Of course, Yan Yan didn't mean to blame her, after all, she and Yan Yu are sisters, and they are definitely closer than her cousin in terms of blood and emotion, which is understandable, Yan Yan can understand.

Understandable does not mean accepting, therefore, she excused herself to be tired and didn't see the eyes handed over by Yan Tong, and directly ordered someone to send her back.

In the next few days, Yan Yan was busy going to the back garden to check the emergence of red rice and rice, and most of the rest of the time was embroidery, she was embroidering embroidery for the Queen Mother's birthday.

I don't know if it's because of the warm weather, the seedlings of this batch of red rice can basically be transplanted after 20 days, because there are not many seedlings, Yan Yan directly ordered someone to open another paddy field in the back garden, and planted this batch of seedlings.

As soon as this matter is over, the time will enter May, the Dragon Boat Festival should come, Lu You also went home on vacation, Yan Yan and Lu You were struggling with whether to move back to Lu's house for the holiday, Zhu sent Lu Ming and Yan Yu to invite them.

Coincidentally, Yan Yan and Lu You were not at home when Lu Ming and Yan Yu came to the door, and they went out early in the morning to visit the two missionaries.

Yan Yan has been thinking about this matter these days, but Lu You is not at home, and she is embarrassed to go over alone, for fear that something unpleasant will affect her and Lu You's reputation.

But what Yan Yan never expected was that just as she and Lu You sat in front of the two missionaries with a look of surprise to identify the few seeds they had brought from India, there were also three groups of guests in her house.

The first group is Zhou Wan, Zhou Wan said last time that Yan Yan asked her to come over to teach Yan Yan to make wormwood glutinous baba, so this time she specially brought a basket of fresh wormwood to Yan Yan.

Knowing that Yan Yan and Lu You had gone out, Zhou Wan negotiated with the porter, and when they were about to leave, Yan Zhang, Yan Bin, and Yan Shan came, and these three people came to visit Yan Yan and also came to Yan Yan's house for dinner.

It was easy to get out of the academy, and the thing Yan Bin was most worried about was to come to Yan Yan's house to satisfy his hunger.

Because Yan Zhang, Yan Bin and Zhou Wan also knew each other, and Yan Zhang's age was also young, Zhou Wan didn't think about avoiding suspicion, and simply came in with Yan Zhang.

And Yan Bin heard that Zhou Wan was here to make wormwood glutinous rice for Yan Yan, and he smiled even more, mainly because he always had a special obsession with something he had never eaten, and he wanted to taste everything.

What's more coincidental is that when these four people went around in the front yard and just entered the backyard, Lu Ming and Yan Yu's carriage also stopped outside the gate, and they wanted to turn around and leave when they learned that Yan Yan and Lu You were not at home, but Yan Yu reported that she was Yan Yan's sister when she left a message to the porter.

The porter also knew about the two sisters marrying the two brothers, but Yan Yu didn't say that they didn't think about it for a while, but when Yan Yu mentioned it, he reminded the porter, saying that the three brothers of the Yan family had just entered and took a girl Zhou with them.

When Yan Yu heard Miss Zhou, she quickly thought that it was Zhou Wan, but she didn't know when Zhou Wan and Yan Yan got so close.

Thinking that his three younger brothers were there, Yan Yu asked for Lu Ming's meaning, and the two of them also came in.

Lu Ming came to Mingyuan for the first time, he knew that this was the county lord's mansion, and he also knew that this house must be bigger than the Lu family, but what he didn't expect was that Yan Yan would take care of this house in an orderly manner.

First of all, although there are not many maids and mothers-in-law in Mingyuan, they are all very neat, for example, the two little maids guarding the door are both fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same height, and the clothes are the same, both are green shirts, black pants and black shoes, and there are also two small maids left in the hall to entertain guests, these two people are almost sixteen or seventeen years old, with black clothes and black pants.

There are two mothers-in-law guarding the door and the second door of the upper room, and the mothers-in-law are all in blue clothes and black pants.

Whether it is the porter seen from the gate or the little maid seen in the hall, or the mother-in-law and maid seen later, the first impression of these people is clean, and secondly, the smiles on the faces of these people are very comfortable, friendly and humble, but never flattering.

But what surprised Lu Ming even more was the layout and renovation of this house, he had heard his grandmother and mother mention this fireplace more than once, saying that he also wanted to change the house where they lived, it was warm, and even the palace was changed.

In addition, the study room in the west room has also made some changes, the place next to the fireplace is a floor kang, and a few pillows and pillows are placed next to the wall of the fireplace, and there are two stacks of books more than a foot high next to it, which is suitable for reading while baking a fire in winter.

On the other side of the kang, there is a piano table and a chess table, and most of the walls above are calligraphy and paintings.

When Lu Ming was standing in front of the wall admiring these calligraphy and paintings, suddenly there was a faint sound of yaoqin in the distance.
