Chapter 35: Liang's Young Favor (Weekend Update)
In the middle of the room was a large round table with black lacquer, and several identical chairs with black lacquer inlaid with mica roses.
This was originally specially ordered by Shen Muqing.
If you use a square table, you have to prioritize it according to your status. But today's situation is too special, and she really can't decide how to decide. For example, Qin Wei's wife, according to her husband's rank, she is a super product, and she should be the first, but Qin Wei has been idle at home in the past few years, how can she compare to Hu Xin, a cabinet minister, who is hot. And Liu Jin's wife. Although her husband is only a small commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Command Division, she has a sister who is the queen...... She thought about it, and set up a round table in the room.
Li sat on the east side with Hu Xin's wife, and the others sat around casually. Dingyuan Marquis Liang Yuan's wife, Feng Shi, was also sitting in the period, looking at her with a smile.
Behind Mrs. Liang Yuan stood a little girl with a round and jade appearance, white skin, and a head taller than Shen Muqing. looks like a young girl at the right age, but looking at her face, she is very tender, and she should be about the same age as Shen Muqing. She leaned slightly, and her expression was very reserved.
It should be Liang Youhui, the youngest daughter of the Liang family.
Shen Muqing pondered, and bowed to several ladies.
Hu Xin's wife smiled and said, "Come, let me see this virtuous girlβshe actually keeps the house in good order." The last sentence was said to the Li family.
Li smiled slightly, and did not mean to answer. Shen Muqing only walked over with a smile, bowed to Mrs. Hu Xin, and respectfully shouted "old lady", "This is the old lady's love!" β
Mrs. Hu Xin smiled and followed Shen Muqing's hand, turned her head to Mrs. Zhao Fu, who was sitting beside her, and said, "I am also at the age of Shun, and the things that have passed, people who have seen it dare not say that they eat more salt than you, and they don't know how much." is only twelve years old this year, and he can stand alone, and only Mrs. Qin Guo has this kind of bearing when she is in her mother's house. β
Mrs. Qin is the title of the current emperor's younger brother Jin Wang Concubine Concubine, her maiden surname is Lin, and Hu Xin's wife is a cousin of the same clan.
At this moment, the Li family can't help but come forward to socialize.
She looked at Shen Muqing with a smile and said modestly: "She is young, and she still has a lot to learn." Where can I compare to Mrs. Qin...... Mrs. Qin Guo is the daughter-in-law personally selected by the Queen Mother, with outstanding posture and quiet character, she is one of the virtuous people in ten thousand, and our girl can be half as outstanding as Mrs. Qin Guo, I thank God, Amitabha. β
Shen Muqing saw it, and he was also busy expressing his position: "There is a housekeeper mother taught by my wife at home, and I just act according to the old routine, where is there such a good thing that Mrs. said." Speaking of which, my wife often mentions your young grandmother in front of me, saying that she is not only good-looking, has a kind personality, and is filial to you, but can also take ideas at home and abroad, so let me learn from the young grandmother. β
Hu Xin had only one son, died early, leaving a posthumous grandson, married the daughter of Liu Yu of the Hanlin Academy three years ago, and gave birth to a son the following year, and the family lived in harmony. Shen Muqing just scratched Mrs. Hu Xin's heart, and Mrs. Hu Xin's smile was so blind that she couldn't see her eyes: "Ouch, why is it such a clever mouth, and the heart of the person who said it is warm." I don't know who has this blessing to marry! β
Several of the ladies laughed.
Liang Youhui looked at Shen Muqing curiously with a pair of big eyes.
Li smiled and said, "I'm just this one daughter, let's keep her with me for a few more years!" β
Mrs. Hu Xin disagreed: "The daughter is the mother's skirt, so she is naturally reluctant." Ke'er can't help it, stay here and stay to stay for disaster, you should also care about it. β
Shen Muqing didn't expect the topic to revolve around her marriage. To be honest, she felt that she was still young and had never thought about it. Although I really wanted to hear what Li would say to these ladies, she was not suitable to listen to these words as a boudoir. She pretended to be shy, lowered her head and said, "Madam, I, I'll go and see how many dishes there are." After saying that, he did not raise his head, but was about to withdraw.
There was a burst of playful laughter in the room.
Mrs. Liu Jin quickly took Shen Muqing's hand and said with a smile: "The girl is not worried, it is all our elders who are open-mouthed. β
Shen Muqing was pulled by Mrs. Liu Jin, and stood there with a red face, looking like he couldn't advance or retreat.
Zhao Fu's wife came forward to solve the siege: "Okay, okay, the girl of the Liang family is still standing here and can't find a companion!" β
Mrs. Liu Jin laughed, pulled Liang Youhui over, and said, "Youhui, you and Miss Shen should go quicklyβwe can also talk freely." "That tone is very skillful.
Her words caused everyone to chuckle again.
Liang Youhui glanced at Feng with a red face, Feng nodded, and then she saluted the ladies, and followed Shen Mu out of the blue yarn cupboard.
The two of them went to Anyuan surrounded by the maid and daughter-in-law.
Along the way, Liang Youhui lowered her head slightly and watched her toes walk.
Shen Muqing had to take the initiative to greet her: "How old is my sister this year?" β
Liang Youhui's voice was like a gnat: "I, I'm thirteen years old today." β
"My sister is older than me." Shen Muqing smiled, "I was born on the ninth day, and I don't know when my sister's birthday was." β
Liang Youhui listened and smiled shyly: "The tenth day of the first month." β
"Ah, if you had been born a day earlier, you would have been a year older than me." Shen Muqing was very surprised.
Liang Youhui blushed and nodded.
There was silence between the two again, but fortunately, An Yuan also arrived, Shen Muqing personally lifted the curtain and invited Liang Youhui in.
Liang Youhui didn't go in anyway: "How can I let Sister Ji make a curtain for me." β
Shen Muqing had no choice but to let Zhuji open the curtain and take the lead in entering the house.
"How does the girl know my name?" Shen Muqing invited Liang Youhui to sit down on the big kang next to the window in the east room.
Luomei was busy serving tea to Liang Youhui.
Liang Youhui looked at the tea cup of the white-tired pastel fisherman's house in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I listened to my grandmother and mother, and I know that my sister is called Sister Ji...... Do you want to call you girl......?"
Shen Muqing raised his eyebrows a little puzzled: "Why did the girl say this?" β
She said a little embarrassedly: "I know that you are all from the south, I, I am from the north." β
Only then did Shen Muqing understand and said with a smile: "We are in Kyoto now, and we can be regarded as northerners." β
Liang Youhui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and smiled at Shen Muqing, her expression was very gentle and demure, and with her tall and plump figure, she was a bit like the Bodhisattva on the Dunhuang murals.
Shen Muqing smiled, and was about to say a few words to her, when Luomei stepped forward and said, "Girl, where is the food?" Shen Muqing looked at Liang Youhui and asked for her opinion: "Anyway, it's just the two of us, let's eat on this kang, it's warmer?" β
Liang Youhui nodded: "Listen to my sister." β
When Luomei heard this, she immediately ordered the meal to be set.
The rough mother-in-law brought the table.
One is made of ham, shiitake mushrooms, and deer tendon with winter bamboo shoots, one is fried with yellow croaker on both sides, one is simmered meat with cauliflower heads made of cabbage, one is steamed with sweet wine and autumn wine, and the other is made of chicken and duck dumplings made with wild duck breast meat mixed into a ball and broth. There are small plates of white tires pastel Magu offering birthdays, and two bowls of green rice in the snow.
Luomei was on the side.
Shen Muqing instructed her: "Let there be another shark fin pot in the kitchen - the girl is from the north, and this is the time to eat hot pot." β
Liang Youhui waved her hand again and again: "No, no." That's fine. With so many guests today, let's not bother. And I think it's a very delicate dish. As if he was afraid that Shen Muqing would not believe it, he pointed to the deer tendons, "This is my favorite food." β
"Since the girl loves to eat, let's eat more." Shen Muqing picked up the ebony chopsticks on the side, personally grabbed a piece of deer tendon, and put it in the small gold plate in front of Liang Youhui.
Liang Youhui hurriedly thanked him, took a small plate, and took a bite of it.
Her chubby hand was holding a small plate, which looked even plump.
Shen Muqing smiled and gave Ying Fan who was standing aside a look, and soon, the shark fin pot was served on the table.
"Girl, let's do it!" Shen Muqing said politely.
Liang Youhui seemed to be very uneasy: "How is this good, how is this good." β
Shen Muqing smiled silently, and diligently scooped up the soup for Liang Youhui.
At the beginning, Liang Youhui was still a little restrained, but gradually, she relaxed, and most of the cauliflower head simmered meat was swept by her.
Shen Muqing was very surprised.
Even if the average person likes it, they will keep a few copies on this occasion......
She remained silent and said with a smile: "I heard that there is also a small snack called Bushuo Bushuo, which is extremely delicious, but I have never eaten ......"
Liang Youhui's face was happy: "I said why is this dish so delicious, it turns out that your family invited Ji Xiangfu to be the chef...... Not only is it delicious, but they also have a kind of lama hu sauce, which is eaten with steamed buns and vegetarian cakes, and even the tongue has to swallow it......," he said, as if he recalled the deliciousness of lama hu sauce, and gently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Shen Muqing smiled and called Luomei over: "Go, tell the kitchen to make a plate, and then ask if there is any Lahu sauce, and then make a few vegetarian cakes." β
Luomei left in response.
Liang Youhui looked at Shen Muqing's eyes and smiled: "I still ate it when my grandmother was on her sixtieth birthday, I asked Bizhu to learn, oh, Bizhu is the big girl next to me......"
Shen Muqing looked at the maidservant girl beside Liang Youhui who fell red gold Ruyi.
The servant girl stood there with her eyebrows lowered and pleasing to her eyes, without moving her eyebrows.
She deliberately let her learn, but the food she made was not as delicious as Ji Xiangfu, and I don't know why...... I thought that the food must be different, and I specially asked Sister Zijuan next to my grandmother to help find ......"
Shen Muqing saw the servant girl raise her eyebrows slightly.
"The result is still different......
Shen Muqing smiled and entertained her: "Since it is a signature dish, there are naturally some doorways in it." If people can learn it as soon as they learn it, how can they gain a foothold in Kyoto. β
