197 No news from the palace
Mrs. Luo felt a little bored in her heart, but this was the daughter-in-law she personally selected back then, what could she do?
She handed the teacup to the maid, asked about Li Suying's backyard, and then chatted a few words, the old lady gave Mother Lu beside her a look, and Mother Lu immediately instructed the maids to set the meal.
The breakfast of the Luo family is very rich, there are two kinds of porridge alone, one is a sweet eight-treasure porridge, the other is a shredded chicken porridge made with broth and several medicinal herbs, and there are delicate side dishes and pastries with half a table, and the small meat buns are steaming hot, and they can be eaten with chopsticks lightly.
Luo Yanyue asked the maid to serve half a bowl of eight-treasure porridge for herself, and when she looked back and saw a bowl full of shredded chicken porridge in front of Luo Xuyan, she asked in surprise: "Sister Ayan, do you have such a good appetite?" ”
Everyone else looked at it, Luo Xuyan glanced around indifferently, except for herself and her mother, there were at most half bowls in other people's bowls.
Old Madam Luo was a little difficult to suppress her disdain from the bottom of her heart.
In the end, it was a woman from a small family in the poor countryside who entered this rich mansion and starved to death when she saw such a good porridge, as if she was reincarnated by a starving ghost.
Later, if they have eaten enough, or if they don't finish eating, and waste food, some will be good to teach them.
Luo Xuyan picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "I have a good appetite since I was a child, and I eat more than my cousins, so now this head can grow tall and look good in clothes." ”
She is half a head taller than the two sisters Luo Yanyue and Luo Yanxue, and she looks slender, and she has a sense of standing out from the crowd between the two.
Luo Yanyue couldn't help but look at Luo Xuyan's dress, although the material and dressmaking techniques were not as good as hers, but she was taller than herself, so she looked better.
She was a little jealous, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and when she didn't know how to speak, she heard Luo Yanxue say: "I see, I really envy Sister Ayan." Then I'll start eating a little more today, maybe I can grow a little taller. ”
After speaking, she instructed the maid to fill a bowl of porridge for herself.
Looking at the steaming porridge, she swallowed silently, and felt that her stomach was stretched before she could eat it.
Old Madam Luo sneered silently and said, "The weather is getting colder, let's eat quickly, don't be cold." ”
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
Luo Xuyan slowly ate the shredded chicken porridge in the bowl, the taste was extremely delicious, and the bitterness of the broth and the herbs was perfectly combined, which would not make people feel the discomfort of taking medicine at all, but the effect of this medicinal porridge would not be less at all.
If it weren't for facing Mrs. Luo, her aunts, and cousins, in the face of such a delicacy, she couldn't wait to eat it all in one go.
Mrs. Luo glanced at Xu Yaoyao and Luo Xuyan from time to time, and after a while, she found that they had really finished eating, without a little waste, and after being surprised for a while, she quickly understood.
They are not like the daughters of the Luo family, they are served all day and night, they don't need to work, they naturally don't need to spend any effort, and they don't need to eat too much, but Xu Yaoyao's mother and daughter are different.
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly.
Such a mother and daughter really can't be taken out and can't be put on the stage.
Why did the six princes fall in love with Luo Xuyan, a country girl?
Luo Yanyue and Luo Yanxue, the pampered daughters, are educated and talented, which point is not as good as Luo Xuyan, so I have to ask the old man to put down his body and beg Luo Banghao's family to come back?
She was unwilling, but she couldn't show the slightest hint on the surface, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and gently wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
When the others saw that the old lady was not eating, they all hurriedly ate the food in front of them, and then gently put down the chopsticks and looked at the old lady with a brush.
Xu Yaoyao and Luo Xuyan slowed down by half a step, and heard Old Madam Luo cough lightly.
"It's time for Yanyue and Yanxue to go to class, and Su Ying and Huanling should go about their own business. Yaoyao, you and Ah Yan stay and talk to me for a while. ”
Luo Yanyue was a little unhappy, grabbed Luo Xuyan's arm, and said, "Grandmother, didn't you say yesterday that Sister Ayan would go to class with us?" ”
Old Madam Luo said: "Your sister Ayan has just come back, so she needs to rest more." Besides, your sister Ayan's marriage is about to be decided, how can you have such spare time to study? Don't read it anymore. ”
Luo Yanyue came to her coquettishly and said, "Grandmother, didn't you keep Sister Ayan to talk and not let you rest?" Why don't you go to study with us, where are you tired of studying, but it's fun, right, Yanxue? ”
She is still waiting to make Luo Xuyan ugly in front of Mr. Teaching.
Luo Yanxue echoed: "Yes, grandmother, you can let Sister Ayan be with us." Sister Ayan, do you want to study with us? ”
The problem was thrown to Luo Xuyan all of a sudden, if she didn't agree to Luo Yanyue and them, she would have to face all kinds of interrogations by Mrs. Luo, but if she accompanied them, she would "offend" Mrs. Luo again.
This Luo family...... It's really uncomfortable at all.
Luo Xuyan sighed lightly and said, "The old lady cares about my mother and me, and I have something to ask to feel at ease." In the future, it's not that I don't have time to play with my two sisters. ”
Luo Yanxue said: "Okay then...... Yanxue, let's go. ”
Li Suying and Zhao Huanling got up and saluted Mrs. Luo, and then left with their daughters.
Mrs. Luo was supported by Mother Lu, returned to the soft couch, leaned comfortably, the maid hurriedly brought the tea, and the small snacks placed before breakfast were all removed and replaced with a new wave.
Luo Xuyan sat on the pestle next to her, watched Mrs. Luo take a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then turned her wrist and waited for the maid to take the teacup.
But Lu's mother went to the inner room to get a pillow, and the other maids in the house didn't seem to notice the old lady's actions.
Luo Xuyan glanced at the tea cup, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and coughed lightly.
Mrs. Luo and the maid came back to their senses at the same time, and the maid hurriedly took two steps forward, took the teacup, and put it on the small table next to her.
Old Madam Luo asked with a smile: "Ah Yan, did the palace say when to send the news?" ”
"Old lady," Luo Xuyan said softly: "What the Holy Lord means, which one of us dare to speculate, the Holy Lord didn't say it, and we can't ask." ”
"Today, your grandfather went to the court, and it stands to reason that he should have sent the news back." Old Madam Luo said: "I'm also worried about you, so I hope this matter will be settled as soon as possible." ”
"Maybe wait a little longer." Luo Xuyan said perfunctorily.
Old Madam Luo asked again: "Since the six princes and you are in love, you have been separated for two days, can you talk about how to exchange news?" ”
