Chapter 162: Reserved
Of course, the most proud at this time is, of course, Prime Minister Xiao's family. Flash Dance.
When he first heard the news, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was not sure, but as people spread it more and more, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, although he did want his daughter to fight for the position of Princess Zhaojing, but he never expected it to go so smoothly, it was really unexpected by him.
"I haven't seen Liuli go out again these days, you have to ask her often, this child has been away for ten years, and has suffered a lot, I am busy with official business, and secondly, it is inconvenient after all, it is better for you to take care of it." Prime Minister Xiao Cheng came back from the court and said to his wife Dou.
"Liuli said that all the people who should be visited have been visited, and she is worried about Yu'er's body, boiling medicine and cooking porridge every day to take care of her brother herself, more than me, who is a mother." Mrs. Dou couldn't help but sigh with emotion when she said this: "This child thinks thoughtfully everywhere, where is the need for me to take care of her?" On the contrary, she took care of me, I was happy and sad in my heart, she was away from home for ten years, I couldn't take care of her, thinking of her little girl went to the mountains to learn art, and suffered hardships, my heart was very uncomfortable. ”
"You don't have to blame yourself," Prime Minister Xiao Cheng rarely comforted his wife: "This child has a high spirit, and it is absolutely impossible to compare her with an ordinary boudoir daughter, this is also her creation, don't you smell every bit of courage and talent?" ”
Mrs. Dou didn't speak again, but her heart was more stable and reliable than before, although Xiao Liuli was a daughter, she was more knowledgeable and assertive than ordinary men. 35xs
Mrs. Dou has lived quite frightened for so many years, firstly, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is not a good person, secondly, Xiao Yu was born extremely weak, and it may be difficult to grow into three, Xiao Liuli is not at home all the year round, and it is unknown what will happen for a long time, besides, she is a daughter, and she is going to marry after all. Therefore, when I think of the person I have nothing to count on in the second half of my life, I can't help but feel worried.
But all this has gradually changed since Xiao Liuli came back.
Under her conditioning, Xiao Yu's body is getting better day by day, and at this time in previous years, it is already a blessing not to be sick. Now Xiao Yu not only did not get worse, but was more energetic than before, his appetite was obviously better, and he could eat a bowl of rice in one meal.
Even more unexpectedly, there were rumors that the marriage branch of Zhaojing Wangfu blossomed because her daughter Xiao Liuli visited the palace that day. With Mrs. Dou's years of experience, rumors are often somewhat true.
Therefore, after Prime Minister Xiao Cheng left, Dou turned to Xiao Liuli's courtyard and ordered the maid to follow behind with a plate of Xiao Liuli's favorite kidney bean cake.
At this time, Xiao Liuli was reading on the desk by the window in the room, wearing homely clothes, and her hair was loosely tied.
Seeing that Mrs. Dou was coming, she hurriedly put down her books and greeted her, and her maid Mei Xiang happened to fold plum blossoms from the garden and came in.
"The days are short in winter, but you should also eat some snacks in the afternoon, otherwise it will hurt your stomach and make it easy to fall ill." Mrs. Dou said and asked the maid to put down the kidney bean cake and pour hot tea again.
"Mother came by chance, and I'm going to talk to you in a moment." Xiao Liuli smiled and helped her mother sit down and said, "Who would have thought that my mother would come to me first." ”
"You've only been back for a short time, in fact, you haven't really rested, and you've been busy taking care of Yu'er these days, and you're working hard, and now the times are not good, you have to take care of yourself." Mrs. Dou looked at her daughter lovingly and said.
"Mother, don't worry about me, my body knows by itself, I have studied with my master for so many years, and I also know a little bit about pharmacology, and I can treat the general minor problems by myself." Xiao Liuli said with a smile: "It's my mother, I haven't served by my side for so many years, you miss me all day long, and you worry about Yu'er, I don't know how much harder it is than me." ”
"Now that you're back, I'm not as worried as I used to be," Dou said contentedly, "If you find a good man to marry, my heart will be relieved." ”
Xiao Liuli didn't say anything when she heard this, just smiled slightly, picked up a piece of kidney bean cake and said, "I think this must be Mama Feng's craft, I have eaten so many kidney bean cakes, and no one does it better than her." ”
"Liuli, now many people are rumoring that Prince Zhaojing is the prince" Dou couldn't help but mention this matter to his daughter.
"Mother, how can the rumors be accurate?" Xiao Liuli didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and said to her mother: "It's just spread by others, if we take it seriously, won't it make people laugh?" ”
When Dou saw his daughter say this, he thought to himself, after all, Prince Zhaojing did not mention it in person, if he took it seriously, he would not be reserved after all.
"It's still your thoughtfulness," Dou said sincerely, "I'll put this matter aside and don't mention it again." ”
"Mother, you also try this kidney bean cake, eat a few pieces while it's hot, don't just think about me, but also take care of yourself," Xiao Liuli said and picked up a piece of kidney bean cake and handed it to her mother, and then said meaningfully: "The matter of marriage is determined by God, my daughter is not in a hurry, and you should not be in a hurry." ”
Compared with the boiling news, the coolie street was even more busy.
Jiang Jiang asked the woodcutters to burn more charcoal, and on the other hand, he stepped up his urging to the blacksmith door to finish the construction of a thousand copper hot pots as soon as possible.
The people of Coolie Street used to find the most difficult work to do, but now, many people are too busy to wear many hats, maybe people have the psychology of conformity, or maybe it is the wealth that moves people's hearts, those lazy people are not just idle, starting from simple and fragmented work, and slowly taste the benefits of self-reliance.
Jiang Jiang was busy here, but he still remembered to go to Yuwen Mansion to ask Yuwen Zhengji if he handed over the fox fur he gave to the hanging pot boy.
"How can I not be satisfied with what you entrusted me to do, it has already been handed over to him, if you want, I can ask him to come and meet you, don't you want to see him anyway?" Yuwen Zhengji said.
"In that case, you chose a good day to invite him out, let's go boating on Diecui Lake, and eat copper hot pot by the way?" Jiang Jiang happily proposed: "But it's best to be in these few days, if it's late, I'll be very busy, but I can't take care of it." ”
Jiang Jiang is in accordance with the excellent tradition of the Chinese nation, and when you meet people, you must eat together, and only by eating and drinking together can you have a harmonious relationship with each other as soon as possible.
What's more, her cooking skills are unique in Ling Tian City, and she must be able to make the Hanging Pot Master surrender, so why not use this powerful weapon?
