Yuan Yuan thanked with a little satisfaction, "Thank you, the fourth brother and sister, I haven't seen you for many years, and the fourth brother and sister are still the most attentive one." ”

The fourth lady Zhang said, "Where, where, the eldest sister praised it." ”

The fifth lady gave two golden hairpins to the two girls, the style is fashionable, but there is no weight, and the two boys gave two pieces of material.

Mrs. Nine prepared some silver jewelry, and the aunt and grandmother of the palace who saw it were annoyed, and they hadn't seen it for so long, so they took out this little thing to send the slave maid, so Yuan Yuan's face was ugly and ugly.

In the end, this occasion is not suitable for anything, so Yuan Yuan suppressed her displeasure for the time being, and said to Qingyi, "This is Yuxi's daughter-in-law, tsk, it's really beautiful, although she is a merchant's child, but when she arrives at the palace, she treats it as if she were her own family, do you know, my mother and my brothers are good, and they will never embarrass you, but you know, in the future, you will honor the old lady well, and you will love your cousins, do you know?" ”

Qingyi decided not to give face, where did this come from? Who belongs to this palace, and where is your turn to speak?

Qingyi smiled and said, "The eldest aunt is polite, this princess will have a bowl of water, this palace is the prince's palace, and this inner house is also the princess's business, although I know that this time the eldest aunt returned to the palace for a short time, but the princess still prepared a meeting gift, and Shui Mama took it." ”

Yuan Yuan's anger almost exploded at this moment all night, a merchant's little hoove, dared to refute the words of a princess and grandmother, it was simply unreasonable, the most infuriating thing was to curse himself for not living in the palace for a long time, Yuan Yuan was so angry that he was about to explode.

However, before the outbreak, Yuan Yuan glanced at the old lady, and the old lady gave a slightly calm look, and Yuan Yuan decided to endure it first, and pretended not to hear it.

Mama Shui handed over the gift, the man and the woman of the family each had a piece of clothing, and Qingyi had prepared some gold jewelry, but it was not needed on this occasion, and some people were destined not to have to give face.

However, Yuan Yuan looked at a few pieces of crescent moon brocade, this heart is a little uncomfortable, this meeting gift is really too different from what he imagined, Qingyi said at this time, "I want to come to the eldest aunt from the northwest, I heard that there are a lot of local specialties in that place, I don't know what the eldest aunt brought back to a few rooms and grandmothers, we have a long experience." ”

The fourth lady climbed up the pole and said, "Yes, eldest sister, I heard from the fourth master of our family that there are still a lot of good things in the northwest, I don't know what local specialties the eldest sister brought to us, just to go back to her mother's house tomorrow, and it is good to show off to her mother's family." ”

Yuan Yuan didn't prepare at all, and she didn't bring anything on the way here, the key points of coming back this time were the official position of her own father, the second was the marriage of her own children, and the third was to accumulate more family funds, and there was no meaning to bring anything to everyone.

Yuan Yuan immediately realized that she was calculated by Qingyi, and this look was not good to look at, but in the face of the expectations of the concubines, Yuan Yuan said painfully, "I didn't dare to bring those things that were not good to store on the way here, and I will ask Mama Chen to send some sausages and beef jerky to each room this year, although they are small items in Kyoto, but these are very popular in the northwest." ”

Yuan Yuan is really a little painful this time, the material in the northwest is scarce, and if there are some sausages and bacon at home every year, beef jerky and the like, it will also take a lot of silver, and she regrets that she didn't bring so many things back.

Especially when everyone looked at themselves, the little hooves of the big house also said that they didn't know how many days they could be guests, it was just nonsense, when she was in charge of the middle feed in this palace, she didn't know if this little hoof was born.

The old lady naturally didn't want her daughter to be embarrassed, so she said, "Mama Cai, it's so late today, I think the children are hungry, so don't hurry up and pass the meal." ”

"Yes, yes, the old slave will arrange it immediately." Mama Cai hurriedly left and went to the small kitchen to order.

Since the last time Qingyi smashed the big kitchen, Changshouyuan built a small kitchen by itself, and many people in the big kitchen used to go to the small kitchen, but this place has limitations, so it is slower to make things, fortunately, two rooms were opened before the aunt and grandmother came back, which is better, but the old lady is distressed, this silver is spent.

Now there is a banquet in that room, so I will pay for it with my own money, like the situation where everyone is here today, and each room will go back and pay ten taels of silver, otherwise the old lady will suffer.

At this time, everyone sat together, the table of the banquet in Changshouyuan was very large, and there was no big problem for several families to sit together, the men were on one side, the women were on the other, and the juniors were in the back, ten cold dishes, ten hot dishes, ten dim sum staples, and six soups came up soon.

Before the old lady could speak, she saw that the four-year-old Qi Lin in the palace aunt's grandmother's house didn't understand the rules at all, and the child directly took a chicken leg and gnawed it by himself, and the old lady smiled and said, "This little skin monkey thinks it's hungry, let's move the chopsticks." ”

Qingyi never eats this kind of thing, as long as it's not something from his yard, Qingyi naturally won't eat it, just pretending.

Although the chopsticks were moving in the first few rooms, they soon stopped moving, Qingyi and Yuan Yuxi looked up and looked, my God!

It was originally a rectangular banquet table, and the family of the eldest aunt of the palace was in the middle of the position, but this time it was impossible to stand up and eat, and the chopsticks that the family grabbed were fighting.

Especially when everyone was stimulated again, when I came back a few years ago, the eldest girl came back with three children, so I knew at that time that this family could really eat, no matter what, no matter how much there was to eat, there was nothing left.

But the current behavior of this family of six made everyone dumbfounded, the chopsticks seemed to be flying, this side of the dish just came up, only to see this family of six people and a pair of flying big chopsticks down, the plate will see the bottom.

This is not enough, while drinking the soup loudly, holding the bowl in his left hand and the steamed bun in his right hand, squatting on the chair, Qingyi seems to see the people on the Loess Plateau holding the bowl and holding the steamed bun, squatting under the wall of their house, snoring and eating, and even several families eat and drink noodles together.

It's not that Qi Qi didn't let Qi Beibei at all, he stood on the chair and picked up vegetables when he saw it, lest he eat one less bite, Qi Beibei and Qi Cancan were not far behind, whether it was chicken legs or duck legs, or bird's nest porridge, as long as they saw it, they would enter their stomachs.

The youngest Qi Lin was not far behind, and he had to be held by the nurse before, but he sat on the dinner table with his butt, picked up a plate of walnut crisp snacks, and ate it quickly, Yuan Huizhu was dumbfounded, this palace should say that she likes to eat the most, but she just likes it, but it is still very gentle.

At this time, she didn't eat a bite of her favorite walnut crisp, and she was eaten by the youngest brother by the youngest brother, Qi Feng and Yuan Yuan had forgotten that this was not the northwest, and the husband and wife grabbed it while eating, and Qi Feng stood up when he couldn't reach it, and he didn't ask if the dishes there were good and served them directly.

Although Qi Beibei and Qi Cancan are usually delicate women, they look like real men when they eat!

The mouth is full of food, and he keeps putting vegetables on his plate, and this family doesn't need slaves and maids to serve at all, because slaves and maids are too slow to serve.

Qi Beibei felt that her mother was slamming the door, so every time she cooked, she didn't cook much, and she was economical, so the family couldn't eat enough if she didn't grab it, but she didn't know that if their family was allowed to eat, they would have to be poor for a year.

Everyone was already stunned by the family in front of them, they didn't move their chopsticks at all, or even couldn't move anymore, because they really couldn't stand it.

When Yuan Yuan and his family eat, they are used to stirring back and forth with their own chopsticks in the plate and vegetable soup, I don't know whether to find meat, vegetables or bones, in short, these flying big chopsticks have been going back and forth since six pairs, and there is nothing else to do at all.

Several rooms felt very disappointed, only the old lady felt uncomfortable, and thought that her daughter had suffered some grievances in the northwest, but the old lady would not be distressed soon, because what is the price of this family of foodies staying for a few days!

Qingyi and Yuan Yuxi were also a little shocked, is this still the appearance of the four-grade official family? Could it be that the northwest is full of refugees, and this family is also from a refugee background?

Now in less than a quarter of an hour, these dishes are finished, but not even a quarter of an hour, this family is still a little unfinished eating, and even licked the plates clean, and all the plates and bowls are left together......

The dinner went on here, and the rooms were already dumbfounded, that is, Qingyi and Yuan Yuxi were stunned, where is this big family, it is more powerful than refugees, and it is said that the wind sweeps the fallen leaves and praises them, which is the standard refugee way of eating.

Even Yuan Yuxi, who has seen all kinds of people, can't understand it, it stands to reason that this aunt has no worries about food and clothing, but she is still so undecency, it is definitely the old lady who is used to it.

Now the family has cleaned all the plates and bowls and stacked them one by one, and then wiped their mouths with a handkerchief, returning to normal.

The change in this family is really weird, as if it wasn't them who swept the leaves in the wind just now, Yuan Yuan didn't feel that only their family was eating this time, and the others didn't have time to move their chopsticks at all.

At this time, Zi Yuanyuan seemed to realize that his family was a little anxious, so he said apologetically, "Mother, it's better to eat in our Kyoto, where can you eat so happily in the northwest, every day is beef and mutton and brown rice, that is, the polished rice is less, that place is all steamed buns, all pasta, but our food in Kyoto is mainly polished rice, so many years our family is still a little unaccustomed, just come back this time, don't worry about it anymore." ”

Although the second lady was still hungry, she was also shocked by this family, but the second lady, who has always been a good person, took a handkerchief and said with red eyes, "Sister, your family has suffered in the northwest, tomorrow I will let the small kitchen make some delicious food, tomorrow our second room will prepare a reception banquet for you, and we will make dozens of good dishes from Kyoto for your family to taste." ”

The old lady was also sad enough when she heard this, she was such a girl, and she suffered such a big crime in the northwest, she couldn't let this child be so sad in the future, she must help her.

Yuan Yuan's favorite thing in this life is to eat, and her favorite is money, thinking that Diao Nan is quite acquainted, she smiled meaningfully, "Thank you, second sister-in-law, I really want to eat the delicious food made by my second sister-in-law for so many years, and our family will go over early tomorrow." ”

The corners of the second lady's mouth stiffened, I don't know what bad ideas this sister-in-law has, this sister-in-law is not a worry-free thing, try not to offend, but if she is too much, it may not be.

As soon as everyone saw that the second lady said this, they all set a time, in order, tomorrow to the second room, the day after tomorrow to the third room, then the fifth room, the ninth room, and finally decided without letting Yuan Yuxi and Qingyi talk.

The eldest aunt and grandmother of the palace were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and only said to the old lady, "Mother, you see that our own brother is good, where is there such a human touch in the northwest, that place is busy digging in the soil every day, the silver is limited all year round, and each family is very IOU, and our family will not worry about it after returning to Kyoto." ”

The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, you all get along in harmony and help each other, my old man is happy to see it, but this time you are all tired, let's go back and rest." ”

As soon as the old lady's voice fell, all the rooms left quickly, because she was too hungry, and she was afraid that she would eat too much food at night when she returned to the courtyards, so she passed on the supper, and this night the small kitchens of the various rooms of the palace were busy enough, so many masters, it was too difficult to serve.

Only the eighth room returned to Liuchunju, the family was full of food and drink, and began to discuss, Yuan Yuan wiped off the powder on Qi Beibei's forehead with a cotton towel, which revealed the color of bruises, Yuan Yuan said distressedly, "My son, why did you fall like this?" But it still hurts. ”

Qi Beibei shed tears at this time, and said pitifully, "Mother, Beibei endured it all night and it hurts, I don't know what's going on, my sister and I just ran to my cousin, and this force rushed to the door uncontrollably, isn't there anything weird?" ”

Yuan Yuan's eyes were deep and said, "Maybe it's weird, your sisters grew up next to me, when did this kind of thing happen?" But it's not good for us today, our family is too anxious, Yuan Yuxi's child is so cold and virtuous, my family is afraid that we will have to look for a map in the future, these days we just have the opportunity to go to each room as a guest, and then we will take a good look at it, the bottom of this big house is now. ”

Qi Cancan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Mother, I think there must be silver on Brother Da Fangxi's side, look at the golden silk feather cloak they wear, we have seen it once in total in the northwest for so many years, it is still half-new, it is still difficult to buy tens of thousands of taels of silver, this time they are still two new clothes, both of which are of the highest grade mulberry silk, don't you say that this is not covetous for our family?" ”

Qi Beibei also thought of the head of the set of emeralds on Qingyi's head, and said in a sour tone, "Mother, we rarely see this emerald, let alone the head and face that can be made into a set, this is too greedy, why are they all from the palace, there are so many good things in their big house, it's really hateful, you look at what kind of broken things my grandmother and these rooms give us." ”

mentioned this, Qi Qi echoed and said, "Mother is indeed so, our family came from the Great Northwest, I haven't seen each other for so many years, are these people too picky, so many people's things together are not as valuable as this red gold crown on my head, even my grandmother is so stingy, what's wrong with this palace?" ”
