So coughed twice to cover it up, Fu Qiuning took the box, and before she could open it and take a closer look, a long-lost sweet fragrance of cream came to her nose, almost making her cry.

A long time ago memory surfaced, Fu Qiuning blinked vigorously before swallowing back her tears, taking a deep breath, she reached out and picked up a brioche roll, slowly put it in her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

After all, this is an ancient past, and although it is a creamy confectionery, the taste is somewhat different from that of modern times. Fu Qiuning remembered that she had seen the method of making cream in ancient times in an article, thinking that there was no industrial revolution in the West at this time, and even the West in this alternate era was not necessarily the West she knew, so things like this cream must have been concocted using ancient methods, and there could never be a specially made machine.

"How's Grandma feeling? But isn't it more chic than our dim sum? Huo Shi saw Fu Qiuning chewing slowly, and there was an emotional look on his face, and he was a little complacent in his heart, because he asked briskly.

Fu Qiuning came back to her senses, and now her mood had completely calmed down, so she put down the snack box, nodded and smiled: "No, it tastes really good." But I don't know where to invite this Western master, wouldn't it be good if I invited my master to come to our house and make these Western dim sums? ”

Huo Shi smiled: "Grandma said that she was joking, where are there so many foreigners?" I heard that the ocean is bigger than the two Daning countries, once there is a strong storm, no matter how strong the ship is, it will not be able to escape. So there are really not many people coming and going, that is, in the past two years, it is still stronger than before. It's just that who wants to wander in a foreign land? The foreigner in our family is not a cook, but my father met occasionally, and the two were very good friends, so he came to our house and entertained him as a distinguished guest in Su Ri. When it comes to the New Year's Festival, ask him to show his hand. Otherwise, where is it so easy to find a foreigner's cook? ”

Fu Qiuning heard her say at the beginning that she had invited a foreigner's dim sum master, and then suddenly became a distinguished guest again. She knew in her heart that either the Huo family intended to show off and let herself know that they had a foreigner's dim sum chef in their family. Either after hearing what she said, she was afraid that Jin Fengju and other powerful people in the capital would go to her house to ask for that foreigner, so she changed her tone again.

She didn't care. Huo didn't seem to notice her coldness, and just blindly found a topic to chat. Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps outside, and then the voice of the little maid sounded: "Young Master and Miss are back." The voice fell, and the curtain of the door was raised. A few small figures came in.

Jin Zangfeng, Jin Zangjiao, Jin Zhenyi and others didn't expect the Huo family to be here, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao bowed in a proper manner, calling them aunts. Jin Xiunan also hurriedly did so, only Jin Zhenyi snorted with his nostrils facing the sky, and before he could say anything strange, he heard Fu Qiuning "cough" lightly, and slowly plucked the teacup and said, "Is it so late?" Presumably the little marquis will be back soon. ”

What Jin Zhenyi is most afraid of is his father, as soon as he hears this. Even if he gritted his teeth in his heart, he had to lower his head, and muttered extremely unwillingly, and everyone didn't hear what he said clearly, only knowing that he was probably asking Aunt Huo for peace.

Huo Shi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and couldn't help but look at Fu Qiuning, but saw that she was just quietly plucking the teacup. Her heart slammed, but her face didn't show it at all, she hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Indeed, it's getting late, I'm afraid that our family is also out of school, so I have to go back, otherwise she won't be able to find me, and she may be in a hurry." ”

Jin Zhenyi snorted and said, "Don't worry." The fourth sister almost turned into a tail and followed behind the second sister, so I don't know if it's in Qingwan Pavilion. He originally wanted to satirize Jin Xiu for being snobbish, but after speaking, he remembered how his words seemed to reassure Aunt Huo that she didn't have to rush back, because her heart was even more awkward.

Aunt Huo's face was a little embarrassed, and Fu Qiuning glanced at Jin Zhenyi. He whispered, "Who is messing with you?" The tone rushes like this. It's rare for my aunt to sit down, is this the attitude of a junior? Why don't you hurry back to the study and prepare your homework, and carefully ask your father when he comes back. ”

When Jin Zhenyi heard that his father was coming back to ask for a book, he pursed his lips even more and stopped talking. Seeing that his brother and sister had gone to the study, he followed behind him. Here Aunt Huo also got up and said with a smile: "It's really not early, I'll go back, and I'll come over to see grandma when I have time, I don't have to send it, if my family is so polite, I'm afraid it will be endless in the future." As he spoke, he walked out of the door, although he said that he didn't need to send it, Fu Qiuning did it before he came back.

But he saw Jin Ming come in from the courtyard gate with two boys, saluted Fu Qiuning, and then said with a smile: "Ye went to the banquet at noon today, and was dragged by a few friends to the hunting ground in the western suburbs, although it was only one afternoon, but he also came back with some things, this time the son is at the ancestor's place, and he told the slave to send some game first, let grandma clean up first, and he will come over to eat later." ”

Fu Qiuning ordered Yu Niang to collect these game, but it is some deer legs and roe deer meat, etc., the hunting ground in the western suburbs is a small forest, all kinds of animals have, for example, this roe deer is the grassland mostly, but because the meat is delicious, so some people caught a lot of them in this hunting ground, because this hunting ground is not royal, there are no large fierce beasts, and the grass and trees are abundant, so the breeding is very good, like Jin Fengju, a person who is both civil and military, usually has little time to hunt, but as long as he goes, he will definitely harvest a lot.

For a while, Jin Zhenyi, Jin Zangfeng and others all ran out, and when they saw the fresh meat, Jin Zhenyi said to Jin Ming: "Daddy went hunting, why didn't you take me?" Now that I'm older, it's time for me to see these things of riding and shooting. ”

Jin Ming didn't dare to reply, so he had to look at Fu Qiuning for help, but he saw her smile and shook his head: "How old are you?" Your brother hasn't learned to ride a horse yet. You just want to go out hunting with your dad, what can you do? Such a little villain, I'm afraid that even a rabbit can swallow you in one bite. ”

Jin Zhenyi was very unconvinced, although he was not older than Jin Zangfeng, but because he had been well nourished since he was a child, he grew up very quickly, and at this time he was half a head lower than Jin Zangfeng, so when he heard Fu Qiuning say this, he stiffened his neck and said, "Why can't you do anything?" I can help pick up prey, and when my dad shoots the rabbit pheasant, I'll pick it up. ”

This fairy tale made Fu Qiuning laugh, stretched out his hand and flicked Jin Zhenyi's head, and said, "You are going to pick up rabbits and pheasants?" At this moment, you are not as fast as the hounds, the rabbits have not been picked up yet, and your father does not know how many pheasants and roe deer he has shot. ”

Jin Zhenyi looked at Fu Qiuning angrily, and he was unconvinced and had nothing to say, indeed, let alone himself, even his father didn't know if he could outrun the hound. Because Jin Ming led the little guy to the kitchen here, he saw Fu Qiuning enter the house with a smile, and took out a few new clothes to show them, all of which were thin materials in the summer, Qiuning embroidered some lace with his own hands, two sets per person, and said to them: "Brother Yi'er and the third girl are afraid that they have new summer clothes, can your mother prepare them?" But that's your own, but if you come to me, and you give me money, you should have a share of these clothes, and come, put them on and show me if they fit. ”

A few people tried on the clothes, which fit very well and were cool, Fu Qiuning gave them the clothes, and told them to go back and put them away, and when Jin Zangfeng and the others went out, Jin Zhenyi did not move here, only asked Fu Qiuning with red eyes: "You just said that my mother, you tell me, she ...... Will she ever be able to come back? ”

Fu Qiuning smiled: "Miss your mother?" I don't know if she'll come back, so you're going to ask your father. But if you study hard and practice martial arts, you will be successful in the future, and you will have the confidence to speak in front of your father, at that time, are you still afraid that you will not be able to pick up your mother? ”

Jin Zhenyi turned his head and said hatefully: "Don't use words to perfunctory me, my mother went to Zhuangzi in the countryside, where the mountains and rivers are poor, who knows how many years she can survive?" I'm not even seven years old now, if my mother waits for me, wait for ......me," he said, clenching his fists and tears coming down his face.

Fu Qiuning thought of the days spent in Zhuangzi in this body memory, and couldn't help but sigh, sat down in the chair and said: "Zhuangzi is indeed not easy to live in, those people will be higher and lower than this mansion, but what can be done?" After all, it fell there, and it was still necessary to fold up the spirits. Your mother is better than me, and her life will never be more difficult than mine. ”

"You've also been in the Zhuangzi?" Jin Zhenyi is a child in the end, and his brain didn't turn around for a while, thinking when did she go to live in Zhuangzi? Haven't you always lived in the evening breeze pavilion? That's why I seduced my father. was thinking about it, but heard Fu Qiuning smile and said: "Before I married into your mansion, I stayed in Zhuangzi for many years, and life there was really not easy." ”

Jin Zhenyi then understood, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart, thinking that this woman had the same experience as her mother, so she hurriedly asked, "What does Zhuangzi look like?" What should I do if my mother is angry there? No, I'm going to see my mother, I can't let her be bullied. ”

Fu Qiuning said with a straight face: "How can you keep your mother from being bullied?" Is it just because you left the Guogong Mansion for no reason and went to Zhuangzi? What if your dad is angry and you don't have to come back? At that time, not only will you not be able to protect your mother, but you will also want your mother to protect you, not to mention that your knowledge and martial arts will be left behind, and your future will be over. Waiting for your sister? She is alone in this house, she is still too busy to take care of herself, she is a girl, you are waiting for her to stand out for you? ”
