The following spring.

The grass and trees are growing, and the spring breeze is warm.

Shen Qiutan wrapped the washed elm money in flour and prepared to steam the elm money cake. Not far away, in the Mufang Water Pavilion with an open field of vision and a wide field of vision, the sound of children reading was heard.

Xiao Changzhen, who has passed his fourth birthday, is accompanied by Shen Xin to read, and he has already read well.

Li Chong smelled the aroma and came over, and his actions stopped for a moment.

The sunlight was as soft as a thin veil, and the quiet and beautiful girl was covered in this layer of tulle, which made the little boy lower his breath.

He clenched his fists, this woman who didn't want to be called his aunt but became his sixth aunt after all!

Li Chong's heart swelled with inexplicable sourness, how good it would be if people didn't need to grow up.

Shen Qiutan turned his head against the light, Li Chong's heart tightened, and he pointed to the things in Shen Qiutan's hand in disguise, pretending to be disdainful: "This thing is really edible?" ”

Before the elm money cake was in the pot, barley and pork bone soup were simmering on the stove, Li Qian lifted the lid of the pot again, saw the boiling white soup and swallowed his saliva: "What kind of soup is this?" Give this son a bowl. ”

Shen Qiutan put the elm money cake into the pot, and looked at the fire again: "Pork bone soup, dare the prince drink it?" ”

Li Chong lost the lid of the pot when he heard it: "How can you eat such a pickled thing!" Didn't Uncle Six Emperor leave you some more money? In his opinion, since Shen Qiutan is the woman of the Sixth Emperor Uncle, he should naturally keep it.

"Why are you pickled, drink this soup and grow taller!" The main thing is calcium supplementation, which is for the Mao Mao stew.

Shen Qiutan cleaned his hands and didn't argue with Li Chong much, after all, the dignitaries at this time ate beef, venison, chicken, and even quail meat, but they didn't eat pork, but those who were okay didn't want to eat pork, only those who were really poor would eat some.

Therefore, generally people with a little status do not eat pork, and the price drops.

In Shen Qiutan's memory, it was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the Chinese people lost the territory rich in sheep, so they had to eat some pork, and with the rise of the stir-fry method, the practice became diversified, and there was a delicacy such as "Dongpo meat".

But now there is no Sui and Tang Dynasties, and now it is only Daning, whether it will be the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty in the future, Shen Qiutan does not know.

But that can't stop her from eating pork.

Giving up good food is not something she would do.

"Don't you have to read? How can you be more idle than Mao?"

Li Chong, a student who was a truant, touched the back of his head: "It's not my mother who said that she wanted to send you something, I thought I hadn't come for a few days, so I condescended to come here, and you still dislike it?" ”

"Who dislikes it. How is the princess lately? ”

"It's still the same, but my third aunt is about to give birth, and my mother has been there twice a month."

Shen Qiutan nodded, Gao Ji found out that she was pregnant after last year's fragrance tasting meeting, and she was indeed about to give birth: "Then help me bring some things to her when you leave." ”

"What is it? There is nothing in the Dingguo Mansion, you are poor and eat pig bones, so let's save some. After another year, Li Chong has grown a lot taller, presumably it won't be long before he catches up with Shen Qiutan, he glanced at Shen Qiutan's movements, and asked tentatively: "If you really can't turn around, I still have some ...... in my hands."

Shen Qiutan adjusted the green onion and ginger ingredients, and instructed the mother-in-law on the stove to marinate the fish, before smiling at Li Chong: "I got my heart, but you forgot that I got 70,000 taels back after dividing the family?" ”

There is also what Li Qi left, she was ashamed to say that she would earn it back, and she would earn it back, but that number is probably enough for her to earn for a lifetime.

Li Chong was shaken by her smile, and he was stunned and forgot to react for a while, Shen Qiutan slapped him on the head with his height: "What do you think?" Still looking for that Ni Die? ”

When he came back from Yangzhou that year, he looked for Ni Die for more than a year.

"My mother said that a man's head can't be touched! Don't think that if you want to be my Sixth Emperor Aunt, you can be presumptuous! Li Chong was a little red-faced.

Ni Die? Li Chong, who used to be known as Ni Ba, had a wandering look in his eyes, and he always felt that it was a long time ago.

For a long time, he doubted that there was really such a person as Ni Die in the world?

Shen Qiutan hurriedly smoothed the hair: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I'll go sort out the things for the senior sister of high school, you go shopping casually first, and eat together for a while, there is your favorite Yujing rice and roasted mutton, and the fish is also ready." ”

Before the meal, Shen Qiutan instructed her mother-in-law to choose two dishes and one soup and sent them to the Qi Palace.

Listening to Li Qi, after Concubine Ping's death from Niangniang, thanks to this father-in-law Cao who saved him from fire and water several times, Li Qi respected him very much.

Such a person, Shen Qiutan naturally respected, who knew that a few days after Li Qian left, that Gonggong Cao came to Shen Qiutan's new home, raised his nose and raised his eyes, and his words were to blame Shen Qiutan's identity and reputation for not matching, and the bird occupied the dove's nest, causing the king of Qi to not be able to marry a high-ranking girl.

At first, Shen Qiutan was still careful, worried that the old eunuch would accidentally hang up, who knew that the old eunuch looked at the ravines on his face and the wind and candles, but he was very angry when he scolded people.

Shen Qiutan thought, this is probably equivalent to fitness for the elderly, right?

When Li Xuan came back, he saw a lively, energetic, quick-thinking, and scolding father-in-law Cao, maybe he would thank himself.

So she should eat, drink, and as long as he doesn't disturb Maomao's reading, everything else is laissez-faire.

As a result, the old eunuch scolded enough, and when he saw that Shen Qiutan could cook, and the cooking was quite fragrant, he couldn't help but eat it, and he was addicted to eating it.

Of course, after eating, then scolding.

Until the Empress Dowager Xuan Shen Qiutan entered the palace, Gonggong Cao suddenly changed from a lively to a dying old man.

If the Queen Mother is punished for kneeling, Father-in-law Cao will pretend to be dead on the side, faint to the ground with a hum, and a coffin will be left to enter the ground; But what kind of identity the Queen Mother is, naturally she will not give him a handle, so a few times later, she also announced several other noble female dependents, headed by Huo Chun'er, and scolded Shen Qiutan for Mulberry, Shen Qiutan was angry, but because of the power of the Queen Mother, she had to endure it, whenever she couldn't help it, Gonggong Cao always cleared his throat and said: "Ouch Miss Shen, Your Highness likes your shy nature who doesn't like to talk, you sit well, just tell the slave to do what you want, Before His Royal Highness King Qi set out on the expedition, he instructed the slaves and maids not to let you suffer the slightest grievance. ”

Huo Chun'er, who loves to talk and is not shy at all, is so angry that she is deformed, is it true that I don't want to marry me because I talk a lot?

This old eunuch was very bad, and if you believe it, you will have a ghost.

Several times she couldn't help but want to have a seizure, but it was not right. Although the master's family speaks, the slave and maid have no room to interject, but the grandfather of Cao only talks to Shen Qiutan, can you control it? If you want to manage, won't it become a right seat?

So, Gonggong Cao personally went out, and "pointing at Sang and scolding Huai" became "treating the other in the other way".

After a few times, the Queen Mother lost interest, and Shen Qiutan also respected Gonggong Cao from the bottom of her heart.

Whether Li Xuan asked him to take care of himself or not, he received a real favor.

So, Shen Qiutan would also send some things to the Qi Palace.

Li Chong ate the fish, secretly drank three bowls of pork bone soup, and brought Shen Qiutan's things as an errand boy.

Naturally, there is no shortage of anything in the Dingguo Mansion, and Shen Qiutan didn't dare to give it to her food, use, and clothing, so she made a wooden baby fitness rack with drawings early, as well as rattles made of silver and other things, and after checking that the wood was smooth and the mat was no problem, she handed it over to Li Chong.

Seeing Li Chong leave, it was not early, Shen Qiutan was about to eat and go to bed, but Qin Lang suddenly asked to see him.
