Chapter 223: Peach Blossom Cake
Seeing Li Jingyi ask about her mother-in-law, the Su family was somewhat weak-hearted, and they knew the plans of Chengenbo Mansion, but they didn't reveal the news to Li Jingyi, but chose to pretend that they didn't know, "Mother is not feeling well for a while, so she didn't come over." ”
"Aunt is sick? I haven't heard of it, let's go together in a while, I'll stop by to see my aunt," Li Jingyi then realized that Mrs. Wang was sick.
Mrs. Wang knew best whether she was sick or not, and she coughed a little embarrassedly, "Mother just suddenly changed her single clothes and had a headache in the wind, and the county lord just swam the mountain, so she must be very tired, so she doesn't need to go out of her way." ”
Looking at the meaning of the Su family, Mrs. Wang should not be seriously ill, but I am afraid that she does not want to come over to perfunctory Mrs. Chen, the most fundamental reason, Li Jingyi nodded, "Then ask Lingxin to go with you, and ask my aunt to say goodbye on my behalf." ”
Li Jingyi really regarded her sister-in-law as an elder, Mrs. Chen looked at her from the side, her heart was sour, and in a flash, she hated the Wang family again, according to her friendship with Li Jingyi, as long as she was willing to come forward to help herself, where could she use their mother and son to take the risk to carry out such a scheme?
"Su Shi is right, the county lord must have walked a lot of roads in the mountain, and he must be tired at this time, there are no outsiders in Ciyun Temple today, why don't you rest in the temple for a while?" Mrs. Chen said with a smile.
Li Jingyi looked at Mrs. Chen quietly, and the smile on her face gradually began to stiffen and reluctantly, before she smiled, "Then there is Mrs. Lao." ”
Almost all the foreign guests in this Ciyun Temple left, only a few Su families remained, thinking that this was also Mrs. Chen's arrangement, Li Jingyi only pretended not to know, got up and followed Mrs. Chen out of the side hall.
Su Shi looked at Mrs. Chen, who couldn't hide the joy on her face with some doubts, and her heart moved, and she hurriedly pulled the incense that was walking at the end, "Does your county lord really want to stay in the temple?" ”
The Su family is the old master, and Yuxiang is naturally very polite, and he said after a blessing, "Yes, just now the county lord on the mountain said that he wanted to find a place to settle down to rest, and besides, Mrs. Chen is so gracious, let's not just come and leave." ”
Su Shi grabbed Yuuka's hand and tightened it, "You remember, the county lord must not leave anyone, no matter where she rests, she must tell Lingxin to be optimistic about the portal." ”
Wang Zhang's oily face shook in front of Su's eyes, and she had already roughly guessed what Mrs. Chen's mother and son wanted to do, "Alas, it's inconvenient for me to go over, you still send a letter to the county lord and tell her to leave this Ciyun Temple quickly, at this moment my heart is pounding for a while!" ”
When Yuxiang was in the Wang family, the Su family treated her very well, she couldn't bear to worry about the Su family here, but it was not easy to tell the truth to the Su family, "Grandma, don't worry, the county lord is not only around Sister Lingxin, but also laughter and laughter, and the county lord also came with the guards." ”
Su Shi nodded, "That's good," there are so many people, Wang Zhang's house wants to break into the Zen courtyard, and it is impossible, "You and Hanxiao have not followed the county lord since childhood, everything must be more careful, go quickly." ”
……
Li Jingyi followed Mrs. Chen for half a cup of tea before she came to the courtyard prepared for her by Mrs. Chen, "Although it is far away from the main hall, it is quiet, and there is not so much fireworks, the county lord just rests in peace, before we do Buddhist things, we have cleaned the temple a few days in advance, and there will be no idle people to bother the county lord." ”
"Then thank you Mrs. Chen," Li Jingyi smiled slightly, nodded at Mrs. Chen, and took the lead in entering the courtyard.
Mama An was waiting in the Zen courtyard early in the morning, and when she saw Li Jingyi coming, she hurriedly greeted her, "The slave has already asked someone to clean the house again, and even the bedding has been changed, the county lord can rest assured,"
Mrs. Chen smiled when she heard this, not to mention a noble girl like Li Jingyi, she is the person raised by her side, what kind of fragrance have you never seen? That's why she won't be stupid to make those incense and the like, "The county lord must not have used it well in the morning meal in the mountain at noon, but at this time, I'm afraid that the temple has stopped the fire and there is no vegetarian fasting, why don't you do this, I tasted their vegetarian snacks when I came yesterday, and there are a few very good ones, I asked someone to bring them over to the county lord to taste?" I also asked people to simmer bird's nest on the fire, and the county lord also used some. ”
"How can you bother Madam," Li Jingyi said to Huan, "You go for a run, see what else is in the kitchen, just ask someone to send it over." ”
Li Jingyi was willing to eat, and Mrs. Chen felt that the Buddha was helping her, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll call someone to go, the county lord just has to rest." ”
After saying that, he turned around and called the mother-in-law beside him, gave an order, and then sat in the main room with Li Jingyi.
As soon as Li Jingyi sat down, Mama An came over with tea, "The tea in this temple is said to be brewed with peach blossom spring water on the mountain, and the slave maid thinks that since the county lord has gone up the mountain, I am afraid that I have already tasted the taste of this water, but unfortunately the old slave has always been very rough, and I was stunned that there was no difference." ”
Naturally, there will be no problem with the tea brought by Mama An, Li Jingyi took it and took a sip, "If Mama is not tired, go up and see for yourself, there is a big peach tree growing next to the peach blossom spring, which is said to be thousands of years old, and when we came back, we saw many people burning incense in the past." ”
"There are such things, that slave really has to go over and take a look, this thousand-year-old tree tsk," Mama An was surprised again and again, and said straight that she would wait for Li Jingyi to rest for a while, and then go over to burn incense for Peach Blossom Niangniang.
Mrs. Chen's mind was all outside the door, and she didn't have the heart to listen to what Li Jingyi was talking about with Mama An, until she watched the mother-in-law she sent out come with two big food boxes with people, and said, "Why have you been there for so long?" ”
The mother who went to get the food box was arranged early in the morning, and when she heard Mrs. Chen's question, she said with a smile, "The slave maid thought that the county lord didn't use it well at noon, and the sisters who followed it must not have used it well, so she collected all the snacks in the kitchen, and the sisters also used some." ”
If Wang Zhangru wants to succeed, then these people around Li Jingyi must be branched, so Mrs. Chen also prepared a snack for Lingxin and them, but it was replaced with sweat medicine.
Mrs. Chen nodded, and put a few plates of dim sum in the mahogany food box in front of Li Jingyi, "I've tasted it for the past two days, and the dim sum in this Ciyun Temple can be used, and the county lord can also taste it." ”
Li Jingyi looked at the four plates of dim sum in front of her, "There are actually mung bean chestnut cakes?" The chestnuts have been off the market for a while, but I didn't expect Tsz Yun Temple to be very particular. ”
What Mrs. Chen prepared for Li Jingyi was not a mung bean chestnut cake, but the plate of peach blossom cake that was closest to Li Jingyi, "Yes, I also said yesterday, maybe this master in Ciyun Temple loves this chestnut flavor," she pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard the county lord tell Mama An about the peach blossoms on the mountain just now, no, the temple is specially made with peach blossom crisp, and the peach blossoms picked on the mountain are used, and the female guests who come to the temple love this taste!" Taste it, Lord of the County. ”
Li Jingyi nodded, but did not move the pastry in front of her, but twisted a piece of the peach blossom cake in front of her and handed it to Mrs. Chen, "It seems that Mrs. likes this peach blossom cake very much, and Mrs. has worked hard these days, why don't we drink tea here together and have some snacks, and you can take a break." ”
Mrs. Chen looked at the piece of dim sum with a little pink petals in front of her, and her mouth was bitter for a while, how dare she taste what was added there? "No need, I use a lot at noon, and there are not a few pieces of this, so let's leave it to the county lord."
"Look, Madame said, isn't there a chestnut cake here? Let's eat some of everything, as much as we can," Li Jingyi handed the peach blossom cake to Mrs. Chen again, "Madame, please." ”
Mrs. Chen reluctantly took the peach blossom cake handed over by Li Jingyi, but she only pinched it in her hand and did not send it to her mouth, while Li Jingyi picked up the chestnut cake in the other plate and looked at it, "It's really fresh, Madame, eat it!" ”
As he spoke, he brought the pastry in his hand to his mouth.
"Madam, the uncle over there called you, saying that there were fewer incense and candles in front of you,"
"Ah, is it? I asked someone to check it early in the morning, why is there less talk now? What about the keepers of the treasury? What are you eating? Hearing someone say that Wang Zhang's search for her, Mrs. Chen hurriedly put down the peach blossom cake in her hand and got up and apologized to Li Jingyi, "County Lord, you use it slowly, I still have something ahead of me,"
As expected, Li Jingyi bowed to Mrs. Chen and said, "Madam, you can go," she shook the only half of the chestnut cake in her hand at Mrs. Chen, "If you are free, come over and rest for a while." ”
"It must be certain, I didn't expect the county lord to like chestnut cakes, but chestnut cakes are common, but the peach blossom cake in Ciyun Temple can't be eaten outside, the county lord might as well taste it," I knew that I had asked someone to prepare the peach blossom cake without medicine, so that I could also watch Li Jingyi eat the peach cake, Mrs. Chen was full of regret, and even regretted that she forgot to tell her son that all the snacks were drugged, but now I regret it a little late, and I went out of the Zen courtyard in a huff.
"There's no one here, you can also come and sit down and taste the dim sum of this Tzu Yun Temple with me," Li Jingyi slowly used up the chestnut cake in her hand, and smiled at Ling Xin.
Looking at Mrs. Chen's performance just now, Lingxin still didn't understand anything, she sat down to Li Jingyi's head hatefully, and when she picked up the plate, she threw the chestnut cake into her mouth and chewed it fiercely, as if she was chewing Mrs. Chen's flesh and skin, "It's really a wolf ambition, I don't want to live anymore!" ”
Li Jingyi reached out and picked up a piece of peach blossom crisp, "Anyway, this peach blossom cake looks very good, and when it's over, ask the cook in our house to come and learn from the chef of Ciyun Temple." ”
"The county lord is not going to put it down quickly, are you still in the mood to joke," Ling Xin took the peach blossom cake in Li Jingyi's hand, and took another piece and put it in her purse, "When we figure out what to put here, we will talk to them, but what is the county lord going to do?" ”
