Chapter 232: The True Successor

Yan Yan was obviously not stumped by the queen.

"Back to the queen, I really think so, I have been married for more than three months, and the women have realized a truth, marriage is like the shoes under their feet, the appearance is not necessarily the most suitable for themselves, the shoes that can make their feet comfortable are the most suitable, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, the grandson is a concubine, Mu Ne is timid, not good at words, does not understand secular affairs, has no title, and will not have family property inheritance in the future, but in my eyes, these are not important, because these I will, I understand mundane affairs, I come to earn money to support the family, He just has to do what he loves and does best... ”

Probably because Yan Yan's remarks were too deviant, the queen couldn't help but interrupt her, "What is important in your eyes?" ”

"Trust and loyalty, that is, he trusts me in all circumstances, will never be disturbed or influenced by the outside world, and also, no matter what happens, he will be faithful to our marriage and will never betray us. It is precisely because we are husband and wife who have reached a consensus, so we have the current division of labor, we have a ten-year period, in these ten years, we do what we do best, I earn money to support my family, he works hard to study, and strives for a fame. ”

"And what if he betrayed you?" The queen asked.

"What if in 10 years there is still nothing?" Zhu asked almost at the same time.

"Heli, we agreed, if he betrayed me, I will take my dowry and leave. If we still have nothing to achieve after ten years, we will give up our fame, and we will not worry about our livelihood, just so that we can go to the mountains and rivers and be a couple of gods. Yan Yan pondered for a moment and said.

She knew that these words would definitely cause an uproar in the queen's heart, but she still said it,

Seeing that Yan Yan was talking more and more, the Queen Mother was beside the two elders of the Lu family and Yan Yu Yan Tong, who was not married, and glared at Yan Yan Yan, "This kid is really not ashamed." This kind of thing can also be said by you, a boudoir woman? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the women are presumptuous, forget the occasion, should be punished, so let's punish myself, I will punish myself, respect the elders here, and please pay more attention to today's dishes, it is indeed that I have spent a lot of effort to study, what are the shortcomings, please put forward valuable opinions." Yan Yan saw the Queen Mother's face, and when he looked at these people next to him, he knew what he was wrong with.

"Come, I'll accompany Yan'er for a drink, I asked what I said, if you want to say something wrong, I'm also wrong." The queen also raised her glass.

Because of the queen's relief, Zhu also raised his wine glass, and this embarrassment was resolved.

Next, Yan Yan toasted everyone one by one, and then stayed to take the initiative to serve dishes, occasionally answering other people's inquiries about a certain dish.

Today, Yan Yan prepared two hometown dishes for the Queen Mother is an oyster fried, to put it bluntly, it is an oyster stall egg, of course, the capital is not near the sea, there is no fresh seafood, only dry goods, so the oysters are soaked, but the taste is still there, it is better than nothing, and there is a fish ball, but this fish ball is not made of sea fish, but river fish.

Speaking of which, these two dishes Yan Yan made based on the memory of the original owner, because Mrs. Yan once took the original owner to make them for the Queen Mother in the palace.

Therefore, as soon as these two dishes were served, the Queen Mother's heart was biased towards Yan Yan again.

Whether it is the dishes in front of her, the lotus picture hanging in the hall and the red silk on the window lattice, these all remind her that Yan Yan is the child carefully raised by her sister, and she is also the real inheritor, not only by blood, but also by mantle.

Because a large part of the dishes on the table were indeed something that everyone had never seen or eaten, Yan Yan had to introduce the names and origins of these dishes and the ingredients used one by one.

Who knew that Yan Yan's eloquent words reached Li Cong's ears instead of relieving his doubts, but caused him to have even greater doubts, so he asked Yan Peng when Yan Yan learned this cooking skill.

The main thing is that most of these dishes are also something he has not eaten or heard of, so it is impossible for him not to be curious.

You must know that the imperial food in the palace almost includes the local characteristics of the following twenty-three roads, and these imperial chefs are also selected from the localities, in other words, he has eaten almost all kinds of dishes in the Great Zhou, but he has never seen these dishes made by Yan Yan, can he not think about it?

"Back to the emperor, Yan'er, this child grew up with my mother, and my mother's New Year likes to cook some hometown special meals by herself, and Yan'er has learned a few times, but the specific learning is not clear." Yan Peng pondered and replied.

In fact, he had never seen most of these dishes, except this fish ball and oyster fried food, so he was also full of doubts in his heart, but he would never dare to ask these words.

Li Cong was noncommittal to Yan Peng's answer, in fact, he had also eaten the dishes made by Mrs. Yan many times, which was obviously not the same thing as Yan Yan's craftsmanship.

Yan Peng saw that the emperor was not satisfied with his answer, and was thinking about whether to add something, when Lu You came over with a wine glass to toast, accompanied by Yan Zhang and Yan Bin.

It turned out that when Mrs. Lu and Zhu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking about the queen's thank you wine and thank you matchmaker, Lu You and Yan Zhang over there also heard it, so Yan Zhang gave Lu You an idea and asked him to toast to the emperor, and also thanked the emperor for taking care of him.

Lu You didn't want to go at first, because he didn't know what to say, and besides, he didn't drink much, for fear that getting drunk would affect Yan Yan.

But Yan Zhang persuaded him with one sentence, "Brother-in-law, if there is no emperor, can you marry my eldest sister?" ”

For this reason, Lu You gritted his teeth, picked up the wine glass and walked to the main table, Yan Zhangyan was afraid that he would not dare to speak, so he followed.

"I wish the emperor, such as the eternity of the sun, such as the rise of the moon, such as the longevity of Nanshan, not collapsed, such as the pine and cypress, all of them are not unsuccessful or inherited." After speaking, Lu You didn't wait for the emperor to reply, and raised his glass to dry the wine.

"This kid, you have to say, the grass people congratulate the emperor." Lu Duan corrected it on the side, but his son was able to take the initiative to toast the emperor, which was still surprising to him.

"Oh." Lu You nodded, signaling that he understood, but did not repeat Fang Cai's greetings, but looked at the emperor, and saw that the emperor raised his glass very respectfully, he owed a debt and turned around to leave.

"Boy, I haven't let you go yet, sit down." Li Cong stopped him, pointed to the vacant seat opposite, and asked Lu You to sit down.

"Don't be afraid, I just want to talk to you, what have you done this New Year?" Li Cong saw Lu You glance at Lu Duan before sitting down sideways, and specially comforted him.
