Chapter 64: Mother and Son
Su Li noticed that she barely had anything to eat, and Concubine De smiled and motioned to pick something beautiful and rare to fill her mouth, but Concubine Liang didn't even seem to bother to move her chopsticks. She coerced her, and she symbolically ate a small bite, which was regarded as giving Su Li face.
Su Li coerced some fresh vegetables for Concubine De, and turned her head to give Concubine Liang a piece of taro roasted wheat: "Niangniang, this is a stuffing made of steamed pork head and seasoned with some pear juice, which is sweet and soft and glutinous, and is the most effective for weak spleen and stomach." ”
"Yes! What you make is delicious. She smiled and took a bite and nodded, but didn't take the second bite, Su Li thought about it, and took chopsticks and tofu again.
"This is water tofu simmered in a vegetarian soup made with lion's mane mushrooms, which is extremely delicious and nutritious."
Concubine Liang took another bite and smiled.
Su Li gave her a chopstick like this and asked him to try it, but it looked like she was smiling, but none of them made her feel amazing, it seemed that she really didn't feel like eating.
"Okay, okay, I've eaten too much today." Concubine Liang looked at her as if she still wanted to give herself something to eat, and she was busy wiping her mouth and smiling.
"That's it?" Concubine De looked at the plates and bowls that had barely moved, and was a little surprised.
"It's overdone today." Concubine Liang smiled, "My sister is so blessed, and my daughter-in-law is so filial." ”
"That's a good girl." Concubine De nodded with a smile.
"Where, mother! Our lord is filial, it should be said that all of us are filial! Su Li poured a bowl of refreshing fresh hawthorn juice for Concubine Liang, said with a smile, and thought about it, "Niangniang often says that our father is bland, but in fact, no matter what Li'er does at home, the first thing he says is, 'Can Niangniang eat it?'" 'The eighth master is too, and he often sends Bafujin over to say that Concubine Liang has been willing to eat something recently, and asks if there is anything else? To put it disrespectfully, because there are ladies in the palace, the gentlemen will have the feeling of going home when they return to the palace, if there are no maidens, they will really be orphans. Niangniang, for the sake of the eighth master and your grandson, just take one more bite! Su Li sighed and gently gave Concubine Liang another piece of snack made of yam.
Concubine Liang and Concubine De's eyes were red, and Concubine Liang silently picked up the chopsticks again.
Outside the door stood Yinzhen and the eighth, the eighth went back to the palace to do business, the eighth went to see the concubine by the way, the result was that the concubine invited to come over for dinner, think about it and come with me, I don't want to meet Yinzhen on the road, the two smiled and came together, but there was no one in the courtyard, Yinzhen knew that Su Li didn't like people to walk around, but it wasn't much of a surprise, but the eighth was stunned for a moment, walked to the corridor, but just heard Su Li persuading Concubine Liang's words, the eighth also red-eyed, turned his head and pressed his eyes, Yinzhen sighed softly, and hated it in his heart, dare to say it here, Isn't it looking for death?
coughed lightly, pulled the eighth child back into the courtyard, and said loudly, "My son asks E-niang to say goodbye." ”
Su Li was stunned for a moment, how could it be so coincidental, thinking about it, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks, and waited for Concubine De's instructions, Concubine De smiled, "People, it's really casual chatter, come in!" ”
Yinzhen and Lao Ba came in together, saluted the two mothers again, and then sat down at the table, Su Li hurriedly added dishes and chopsticks to the two, "The two masters came just in time, the two mothers can't eat, the two of them are good to persuade." ”
"The fourth sister-in-law has worked hard, your body is inconvenient, let's sit!" The eighth hurriedly got up and thanked him.
"Alas! Niangniang, do you see, the eighth master is a scourge, right? People are beautiful, and they speak beautifully, he uses 'um' for what our lord gives him to eat, and he never wants to praise Li'er, how long has Li'er been in the palace, my sister has come to see it a few times, and this is the first time I've come! Su Li was busy playing treasure in front of Concubine De, and by the way, she took advantage of the situation to give Yinzhen some eye medicine, she still complains these days, and the person who sent her in will disappear, and the Wulanala clan and the Nian clan still know that they will come in every few days to see her, and by the way, take the menu she gave to the cooks in the house, this master is estimated to have food in the house, and there is no time to think about her in his heart.
Concubine Liang covered her mouth and laughed, stretched out her hand to coerce some vegetables for Lao Ba, and then coerced some for Yinzhen, "Your daughter-in-law is good." ”
"Niangniang praised it falsely, it's a stupid child who doesn't know what to do, you can be tolerant." Yin Zhen glanced at Su Li, got up and thanked Concubine Liang. Yin Zhen has been really busy recently, Thirteen's hotel business is very good, in the past few months, the matter of the official seems to have slowly faded in the silence of the old man, and his heart has slowly returned to its original position, taking advantage of the time, coming in to see her, but I don't want her to be dissatisfied.
Concubine De sighed and shook her head, "Eighth child, eat more, this is specially made by your sister-in-law for your mother-in-law, if you think it's good, let your sister-in-law teach your daughter-in-law to do it." ”
"Xie Niangniang, Xie Xiaosi's sister-in-law."
"Well, the more you look at it, the more beautiful it becomes." Concubine De took a closer look and nodded, and then looked at her own son who looked like a stone, sighed, turned around and deliberately cooperated with Su Li and said, "Alas, it's really a mistake to match you with this stone." ”
Concubine Liang was drinking hawthorn juice, and she almost choked when she heard Concubine De's words, so she hurriedly came over and stroked her back and carefully wiped her mouth.
"Yes! Forget it, mother, this is your own son, we can't dislike him. Su Li nodded, poured juice for Concubine De, and waited for her to drink, Yinzhen's face was black.
"Well, we don't dislike him." Concubine De nodded sadly, and laughed out loud after speaking. Concubine Liang and Lao Ba couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Because of Yinzhen's joining, the lunch was finally enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and the eighth child helped Concubine Liang back after dinner, and the people came in to clean up the family of three and sit in the inner room. Yinzhen looked at Su Li, and it was a little richer than at home, but her face was still not good, "Have you slept heavily lately?" He asked softly.
"Well, the mother is blessed to sleep well. Look, Li'er is so fat. She spun in front of Yinzhen, but she didn't gain much weight, but her lower abdomen seemed to have been somewhat revealed.
"Be careful, such an adult, it's still hairy." Concubine De snorted, "Come and lie down, I've been busy all day long." Su Li hurriedly grimaced at Yinzhen, and went to Concubine De to lie on the kang, Concubine De covered her with a thin quilt, and saw her close her eyes, then looked back at Yinzhen, "Hasn't the house been cleaned yet?" She also knows some things in the house, and it is best not to let Su Li know about these things, so she asked very implicitly.
"I'm cleaning up, I've invited a shaman's wife, and I've done the rituals." Yin Zhen looked at Su Li, who was lying down, and said after a while.
"Well, take the opportunity to take care of it, and the affairs of future generations are not allowed to be sloppy." Concubine De sank her face and spoke gloomily.
"Yes, it's been a hard time these days."
"Well, what are you talking about? I'm glad she's here. You often come over to see if you're fine, she doesn't say it, in fact, she still wants to see you in her heart, and when she is pregnant with a child, she should feel lonely in her heart. Concubine De looked back at Su Li, it seemed that she was already asleep, sighed again, and said softly.
"Yes!" Yin Zhen thought about it and poured a glass of juice for Concubine De, and held it in front of Concubine De with both hands, "Although Li'er is not sensible, that sentence is still right, there is no Niangniang in the palace, it is no longer the home of the sons, Niangniang, please take a good rest for the sake of her sons and grandchildren." ”
Concubine De took it with tears, and the mother and son didn't know what to say for a while, but the relationship took a big step forward unconsciously.
