Chapter 62: The Old Child Has to Be Coaxed
Tao'er sighed, "Actually, the third grandmother's body is not very good, she is still sick, and she grits her teeth when she goes to the master of the horse to pay homage." Hey, the third grandmother has a hard life, and she did that thing as soon as she got married, the third master and the elders were not happy, and they were taught a poor lesson on the day of admitting their relatives......" seemed to feel that she had talked too much, Tao'er quickly stopped her mouth, and stuffed the silver horn into Mrs. Chen's hand, and said in a panic, "Trouble Mama Chen, for the sake of me and Sister Hongyan being good sisters, don't hurt me if you rot what I just said in your stomach." ”
Mrs. Chen smiled wrinkledly, and hurriedly promised, "No, no, the old woman promised not to say anything." And then he walked away happily.
Lu Man listened to Tao'er's report, said that she did a good job, and rewarded her with two silver bills.
Lu Man was tormented in his heart, anxiously looking forward to Jiang Zhanwei coming back soon and helping to find Wang's mother's family. Thinking that if he couldn't come back in June, she would have to make a desperate bet and be cheeky to beg the eldest princess.
In addition to cheering up in the Heming Hall to deal with the old couple, she usually made some heatstroke food, and even put aside the exercises such as pulse cutting and acupuncture, which are only done well when meditating.
It was May 30th, and the whole family rested again on this day.
When Lu Man and Lu Aya arrived at the Crane Ming Hall, the three masters, the prince, the fourth master, and the fifth master were already standing in front of the old horse's bed to serve the sick, and the eldest princess was sitting in front of the bed.
Lu Man bent his knees to bless the eldest princess, the three masters, and the prince, and the fourth and fifth masters also bowed to her.
Because of these men, Lu Man didn't dare to laugh with the old horse as usual, so he only said hello to him, and then went to the side to listen to the two imperial doctors and the people who kept vigil yesterday about the situation of the old horse last night.
At this time, I heard the fourth master's surprised voice, "Oh my God, grandfather seems to be unhappy." ”
The fifth master also said, "Oh, yes, in the past, my grandfather would his beard when he was unhappy. Look, a few beards are up. ”
The eldest princess and several old men all lowered their heads to take a closer look, and they all said incredulously, "Really! ”
The prince wondered, "Why is my grandfather upset?" ”
The eldest princess thought for a while, and said with a clear smile, "Zhan Wei's daughter-in-law, you are still lazy over there, and your grandfather is angry with you." ”
Lu Man hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Yo, my granddaughter-in-law didn't offend your old man, why are you angry with me?" ”
The eldest princess pretended to be angry and said, "Usually you pretend to be coquettish with old children as soon as you come, but if you don't say a word today, people won't be angry." ”
Lu Man also saw that the old man's left beard was slightly curled, and he couldn't help but laugh. What an old boy!
She leaned down and helped the old man squeeze his arm, while giggling, "Granddaughter-in-law didn't see it, grandfather is still an anxious child." Granddaughter-in-law didn't hide from it, and just went over to discuss your condition with the imperial doctor. Ouch, don't be angry, my granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law made another delicious food yesterday, and I'll bring it over for you to smell it next morning......"
With Lu Man's gentle words, the old horse's slightly curled beards really fell again.
Seeing this scene, the men also laughed out loud, and Gu was surprised. The old colt turned out to be meticulous, except for talking to the eldest princess and having a pleasant face, he was very serious with their juniors.
Jiang Houye was a little stumbling when he spoke, "Father, father is this, father is ......"
The eldest princess explained with a smile, "The old man is sick, just like a child, he has to be coaxed. Zhan Wei's daughter-in-law did a good job, coaxing this old child to be happy every day. He added, "Even I was happy to hear it." ”
The third old man laughed and said, "Zhanwei's daughter-in-law is doing a good job. ”
Fifth Master Jiang also arched his hand to Lu Man, bowed, and said, "The third sister-in-law has worked hard. ”
Lu Man smiled again and said a few polite words.
She coaxed the old colt for a while, and when she saw Xiao Caihe coming, she said goodbye.
Yesterday, the third lady sent a basket of yellow peaches to Lan Tingzhou, and at the same time sent a bowl of yellow peaches in sugar water. It was sent by her mother's family, and she sent some to every yard.
Lu Man tasted the bowl of yellow peaches in sugar water, and the taste was much worse than the canned yellow peaches in his previous life. Come to think of it, there should be two key processes missing. One is that there is no lemon juice, which lacks the fresh taste of yellow peaches. One is that it is not refrigerated in the refrigerator, and the sugar flavor does not completely enter the yellow peach pulp, and there is no such cool feeling.
Although there is no refrigerator now, the eldest princess's mansion is rich and rich, and there is an ice cellar, which is more natural and green than the refrigerator.
Yellow peaches are easy to rot if they are not released, and the taste of fresh yellow peaches is not very good, so Lu Man decided to make canned yellow peaches, that is, yellow peaches in sugar water.
She got up early this morning and led the girls to pick out the ripe yellow peaches, and there was a large basket. Then wash and peel the yellow peaches, remove the core, cut them into four teeth, put them in a pot and boil, and put an appropriate amount of rock sugar and a teaspoon of salt. Once cooked, drips in the lemon juice. Just put it in the pot and stuff it.
As soon as she returned to Lan Tingzhou, she asked people to scoop the yellow peaches and meat into a large jar with water, and then asked Liu Ya to lead her mother-in-law to push the jar to the outer courtyard by cart, and let people put it in the ice cellar for half an hour, and then take it out.
Not long after Lu Man ate dinner, the girl took back the jar of yellow peaches in sugar water.
She tasted a piece, and it tasted great, a little more delicious than the yellow peach in sugar water that the third lady gave her yesterday.
She tasted a piece for Liu Ya and a few other girls, and then scooped two bowls out and let people send them to the little brothers and sisters in Qingfeng Courtyard. The rest will be taken to the Crane Ming Hall, where almost all the masters will go today.
She was going to give the old horse a massage early today, and wanted to come back early to get some food to invite the little brother and sister to dinner. She didn't want Jiang Jiu to feel that she had betrayed their "small collective", and she didn't want to see her eyes that felt abandoned.
Except for the fifth master, who went back to take a lunch break due to poor health, several other men did not even take a nap after eating in Heming Hall, and became filial sons in front of the old horse's bed.
This jar of sweet water and yellow peaches really pleased the eldest princess, and even a few gentlemen who don't like sweets very much even ate all the meat and water.
The fourth master still wanted to eat, but the eldest princess was reluctant and said that she would keep it for the other younger children. The sneering fourth master made everyone laugh, and made the eldest princess laugh again.
After the massage, Lu Manwan refused the eldest princess's stay, saying that she would go back to cook herself, and invited Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu to go to Lan Tingzhou for dinner.
She was also waiting, she hoped that the eldest princess would invite the little brother and sister to come.
The eldest princess seemed to remember that she still had those two grandchildren, and said, "Let Zhan Kui and Xiao Jiu'er come here, I haven't seen them in this palace for a long time, and I'm quite panicked." ”
Lu Man listened, and there was a burst of joy.
The second old man looked disgusted, and hurriedly stopped, "Mother, my father is at a critical juncture now, so don't let them come to block his old man's house." ”
