Chapter 531: Human Nature
Lu Ming set off for Daizhou on the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Yan Yan did not go to see him off, let Lu You go, according to Lu You came back, the prince also went with several princes, and was sent outside the city.
Also, Lu Ming went to Daizhou this time with Lu Yong, saying that Lu Yong was also eighteen years old, and it was time to go out to experience the experience, because his father Lu Zhu was also eighteen years old and followed Lu Duan on the battlefield.
Yan Yan was not very surprised to hear the news, because she knew that the concubines of these big families basically came over like this, Lu Zhu, and Yan Ai, they were all promoted by virtue of their military merits, and now it is Lu Yong's turn.
However, Lu Yong is not a concubine, but his father is a concubine, the Lu family is not separated, Lu Zhu is not at home, how can the Huang family have any right to speak?
I don't know if it was Lu Ming's departure that made Mrs. Lu's heart feel a fire, or whether the weather was getting hotter and hotter and made the old lady suffer from the summer, in short, a few days after Lu Ming left, the old lady also fell ill, and the Zhu family specially sent someone to send a message to Yan Yan.
Even if Yan Yan is unwilling, she has to go to the Lu family to visit the patient, but fortunately, she is now a pregnant woman and does not have to stay to serve the sick, otherwise, she and Lu You will have to move back to the Lu family.
In the summer, the patient is not suitable for tonic, Yan Yan thought about it again and again, and remembered a food, use lotus root powder to make cold powder to eat, put a little vinegar and sugar, cool, sweet and sour, the patient should have a little appetite.
So, Yan Yan personally taught Qinghua to make a good powder, and took Qingxiang Qingxiu to Lu's house, originally she wanted to take Qingyun or Qingyu, but these two people were also pregnant, and the months were much older than Yan Yan, Yan Yan didn't let them go out these days.
When Yan Yan arrived at Lu's house, there were many people in the old lady's house, and even Lu Jing and Lu Han came back. ”
When Yan Yan heard this, he thought that the old lady was still angry about what happened before, so he smiled, "Look at what my grandmother said, I'm not a porcelain person." ”
Subsequently, Yan Yan asked the maid to wash her hands with water, and ordered Qing Glaze to open the food box, she personally made a bowl of cold powder for the old lady and sent it forward, and fed the old lady.
"Or do you have a heart, the old lady just didn't have an appetite for it." Lu Jing praised casually, but what she missed more was that Yan Yan actually fed the old lady herself.
In fact, this is not the first time Yan Yan has fed the old lady, let alone the first time she has cooked food for the old lady, so after listening to her daughter's words, Mrs. Lu also remembered Yan Yan's kindness to her before, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.
On the other hand, Yan Yan refused to forgive Lu Ming and refused to take care of this big family, which made the old lady very headache, so her feelings for Yan Yan were complicated, on the one hand, she felt that the Lu family had treated Yan Yan badly, on the one hand, she was pleased with Yan Yan's filial piety, and on the other hand, she had a headache with her stubbornness.
But anyway, this bowl of cold noodles is the old lady's appetite, the old lady ate a small bowl, she knows that Yan Yu also has morning sickness these days and can't eat anything, so she wants Yan Yan to send a bowl to Yan Yu, but she is afraid of being rejected by Yan Yan, so she has to ask Yan Yan how to make this thing.
The reason she found was that she didn't have to trouble Yan Yan after she learned it, and she would order someone to make a little when she wanted to eat.
Yan Yan didn't hide his secrets, and ordered Qing Glaze to go to the stove room and directly teach the cook in the stove room.
"Grandmother, I'm going to launch this thing in the pastry shop, you don't have anything to eat at home, but you are not allowed to tell others how to open a shop." Yan Yan remembered to advise.
Mainly in the summer, the cake business is much worse, Yan Yan is thinking about how to remedy it, but it happened that this cold powder came out.
In this way, the lotus root flour she makes will also have a market, and at the same time, she can also let people grow more lotus roots, and the lotus roots do not have to take care of them much, which is more trouble-free than sweet potatoes, and the yield is also high.
Last year, Yan Yan's Zhuangzi planted a lot of lotus roots, which improved the plight of many villagers.
Lu Jing smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry, eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, even if we want to open this shop, we don't know how to get this lotus root powder." ”
Yan Yan smiled, the production process of lotus root noodles is very simple, it is reported that there are other houses in the capital besides her house.
"It's still a sister-in-law, who has been married for three years, nothing has been delayed, business is doing well, children are one after another, and the eldest brother is now a talent again." Lu Han said with a smile.
There is no way, her mother-in-law chattered a lot at home, so that she and Yan Yan could get closer, after all, the two had a little foundation before, and it could be regarded as a handkerchief.
But her mother-in-law didn't want to think about it, she was also reprimanded by the emperor, although she was hung by Yan Yu, but she was also forbidden to enter and leave the Ming Garden, how to get close to this relationship?
But there is no way, Lu Han's status in her in-law's family is also relatively delicate now, her sons are three years old, eight or nine months older than Lu Jin, but she has not been pregnant again for a long time, so the elders of the Wu family have to believe that in this life, she may really be difficult to get pregnant again.
This is also the reason why the Wu family has to give her husband a concubine, saying that she is afraid that the heirs are too thin, and it is difficult for the children born by the maids to get on the stage after all, so they want to choose a good character from distant relatives and have studied to enter the door to be a concubine, in case her children have something in the future, they will not let a maid's child inherit this family business.
Coincidentally, she didn't think that her mother would do the same and give her second brother a noble concubine to enter the door, so from this point of view, Lu Han and Yan Yu are sympathetic.
To be honest, Lu Han now does feel that Yan Yu is better communicative, and the two can talk together, but her mother-in-law is not optimistic about Yan Yu, so she has to be friends with Yan Yan.
For this reason, Lu Han had to flatter Yan Yan hard.
But strictly speaking, it is not flattery, because she is telling the truth.
"We are also suffering, no one can succeed casually, don't say me, just say husband, he also had no playmates when he was a child, he can only read books and learn to do handicrafts by himself to pass the time, which is the accumulation of today, Rao is so, he still gets up every day, padding something to rush to the Ministry of Industry for an hour and then go to Taixue, after class in the afternoon, go to the Ministry of Industry again, and do not go home until dark." Yan Yan said.
"By the way, eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, speaking of which, what kind of handiwork does Da Lang do? How did I hear that he had researched the gunpowder? Lu Jing asked.
When Yan Yan heard this, he guessed that it must have been misreported from Mrs. Lu, and the old lady must still hate Lu You for not following Lu Ming to the battlefield.
As soon as he thought of this, Yan Yan suddenly felt a little excited.
Whether it is Mrs. Lu, the Queen Mother, or the Emperor, if it doesn't involve their interests, they all think she is a good one, but once it goes against their or the family's interests, she and Lu You are the first to be abandoned
To put it bluntly, human nature is still selfish.
