Although Lin Qingwan said that it was not difficult, Mrs. Xie was still disgusted with the Zhao family, and even did not like Mrs. Shang's second wife, and when she was welcomed into the door by Mrs. Shang's second wife, her face was slightly pale, and she only had a shallow smile on her face, so as not to be rude.

Not to mention Lin Yubin, when he saw Shang Mingjie, he directly snorted coldly and turned his face away without speaking.

Shang Mingjie didn't know how he offended his cousin, so he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, circled around her, and asked, "But if I did something wrong, my cousin told me, so that I could change it." ”

Lin Yubin sneered: "What you did wrong, I was wrong." ”

Bypass him and leave.

Shang Mingjie's mouth opened wide, and Shang Mingyuan gloated and asked, "Why did Erlang offend his cousin?" ”

Shang Mingjie's face was confused, "I don't know." ”

Mrs. Shang didn't know about the children's lawsuit behind, and only entertained Mrs. Xie with a smile on her face.

Mrs. Shang also stood at the gate of the main courtyard to greet her, looked at her from a distance and said with a smile: "It's finally here, but I look forward to it." ”

With a big smile on her face, Mrs. Xie stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen the old lady." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up," Mrs. Shang grabbed her and asked with a smile, "Is your aunt okay?" ”

"Okay, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I also wrote to say that I can eat five small steamed buns in one meal, my aunt heard that I was in Suzhou, so I asked me to come to your old man's house to say goodbye, but it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is not good to disturb the door, I heard Sister Wan said that she also wanted to bring Yubin to your old man's house to say goodbye, so I went to the door with her." Mrs. Xie smiled: "You don't blame us for disturbing." ”

"I love you every day, I am an old man, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, there used to be children to talk with, but now they are all going to school, and there is no one around to talk."

The three sisters of the Shang family who came together were shocked, and Shang Danlan smiled and said, "It's better that I won't go to school tomorrow and stay at home with my grandmother." ”

Danzhu and Danju also shouted, "We are also at home with our grandmother." ”

Shang Mingjie, who was lagging behind, immediately said sincerely: "I won't go to school either!" ”

Old Madam Shang glared at him and said angrily: "How can I delay your learning skills, let your husband hear this, and be careful about your skin." ”

"It is a good thing for children to be filial," Mrs. Xie said kindly, "the old lady is so blessed." ”

Old Madam Shang smiled on her face, she was very proud, and was about to boast back, but suddenly remembered that Mrs. Xie's only son was dead, and after a pause, she opened the topic and said, "Let's go into the house and talk to me about your aunt again." How many years of old sisters, I haven't seen them since I moved back to Suzhou. ”

Only then did Lin Qingwan know that Mrs. Shang and Mrs. Xie's aunt were handkerchiefs, and the two were still somewhat related.

Her mother-in-law called her brother's mother-in-law aunt, and the relationship was messy.

Lin Qingwan shook her head and stepped forward to sit down.

The three sisters of the Shang family stepped forward to greet Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Xie gave them the prepared meeting gifts, and looked at them with a smile, "I heard Yubin say that you have three golden flowers in the Shang family, and now it looks really good, and it looks really beautiful." ”

Mrs. Shang leaned on the pillow and said with a smile: "They are cousins, so it's natural to look at each other, but it's not good when they go outside." ”

"Who said that?" Mrs. Xie took Shang Danlan's hand and said with a smile: "I'm outside, I'll just say they're beautiful." ”

The three sisters blushed and lowered their heads, and Lin Qingwan saw that their faces were about to burn, so she pulled them over and said, "I know that my mother is reluctant, but the children love to move, let them play aside." ”

Mrs. Xie glanced at her and said, "I know that you want to play, you go with them, and I'll talk to the old lady." ”

Lin Qingwan was slightly stunned, and Mrs. Shang had already said to Shang Danlan: "Take your cousin Lin down to play, and entertain Aunt Lin well, aren't there still a few baskets of crabs in the kitchen, let people steam them for you to eat, but you are not allowed to eat too much, so as not to have a stomachache at night." ”

Shang Danlan responded with a smile and pulled Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin down.

Lin Qingwan glanced at Mrs. Xie and left with them with a smile, Shang Mingjie, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but look out twice, and also found an opportunity to retire.

Shang Danlan and Lin Qingwan walked in front, and Shang Danzhu pulled Lin Yubin to the end, seeing that there was no one left and right, and she was far away from Lin Qingwan in front, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Cousin Lin, but my brother made you angry?" ”

Lin Yubin asked a little uncomfortably, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Shang Danzhu pursed his lips and smiled, "My brother asked me to ask, saying that he greeted you in the morning and you didn't like to take care of him, let me ask you if he did something wrong, and he was easy to change." ”

Lin Yubin pursed his lips and did not speak.

Shang Danzhu was surprised, "What, my brother really did something wrong?" ”

Shouldn't it, at the beginning of the month, her brother also made an appointment with Zhou Tong because of Zhou Tong's digging of a pit, and had a fight outside, accidentally injuring his arm, and Cousin Lin felt distressed for a while when she found out.

These two people have been very good recently, if it weren't for Cousin Lin's filial piety, her brother would have asked her out to see the lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Lin Yubin didn't speak, she couldn't tell Shang Danzhu, because your uncle targeted my family, so I was angry with your brother, right?

Speaking of which, Zhao Sheng is also Danzhu's uncle, but she doesn't seem to be angry with Danzhu, but why is she so angry when she sees Shang Mingjie?

Lin Yubin quickened his pace to catch up with his sister-in-law, Shang Danzhu helplessly went to his brother, "I can't ask, but you must have offended Cousin Lin, you should think about what bad things you have done recently." ”

Shang Mingjie looked confused, "I really didn't do anything bad." ”

Shang Danzhu didn't believe it, left him alone, didn't do anything bad, could it be that Cousin Lin would still be angry for no reason?

Shang Danlan led Lin Qingwan's aunt and nephew to the garden, "Uncle Zhao sent a lot of chrysanthemums during the festival, how about Aunt Lin take a look?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly, looked at the precious chrysanthemum potted plants placed in front of her, and said, "It's good." ”

Shang Danlan's eyes wandered, and he said with a smile: "In addition to chrysanthemums, Uncle Zhao also sent a lot of good things, even the crabs in the house were sent by him." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "I have a heart, but didn't Uncle Zhao go back to Jiangdu, why did he come again?" ”

"It's just been a few days since I came," Shang Danlan said with a smile: "This time I'm here to stay for a long time, I heard that I'm going to change the Yipin Building into a gluttonous building, and Uncle Zhao has prepared a lot of new dishes for this." ”

Lin Qingwan raised her eyebrows and looked at Shang Danlan with a smile.

Yipinlou used to be the property of the Lin family, and it was packaged and sold by Lin Qingwan last year, but she remembered that it was a businessman surnamed Qian here in Suzhou who bought Yipinlou in Suzhou, why did it fall into the hands of Zhao Sheng again?

The three sisters of the Shang family looked at each other and didn't ask about foreign affairs, but now it seems that she underestimated them.

Since someone wanted to report the news to her, she naturally would not refuse, and expressed interest in it.

Shang Danlan carefully reported the names of a few dishes to her, and those dishes were all sent by Zhao Sheng to Mrs. Shang Er to taste, of course Mrs. Shang Er could not enjoy them exclusively, so she had to give them to the old lady first.

Shang Danlan also tasted it.

Mrs. Shang is famous for her ability to eat, and Zhao Sheng actually wanted to ask the old lady for her opinion when he sent the dishes.

The old lady did give a lot of pertinent advice.

Among them, Mrs. Shang is most satisfied with the dish made of tofu.

Shang Danlan smiled, "It is said that the tofu came from the King of Han Huainan, and my grandmother used to eat it in the Northland, but now few people make it, Uncle Zhao uses tofu to make a series of dishes, and I heard that it is still very popular." ”

Lin Qingwan couldn't help but turn her head, "Tofu? ”

Shang Danlan bowed, "I heard that it is made of beans, and the method was also recorded in the classics before, but due to the loss of the classics due to the war, maybe some families know the method." ”

Lin Qingwan sneered, making tofu, she can, and there should be records in the classics collected by the Lin family.

In this era, the transportation is inconvenient, and the transmission of information is very slow, people in Shannan can make tofu, but people in Shanbei may not even have heard of tofu.

Tofu has been around since the Han Dynasty, and she took it for granted that everyone knew about it, and thought that the production method was not a secret, but now it seems that she took it for granted.

At this time, not only is the news closed, but even the inheritance of the craft is very secret, which is passed down from generation to generation, and it is rarely passed on.

In this case, the practice of tofu naturally did not spread widely.

"Gluttonous House has already opened?"

"Yes, it was opened on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I heard that there were many guests on these two days." So the second aunt trembled again at home, and the grandmother became more and more tolerant of the second aunt because Zhao Sheng was in Suzhou, and her eldest brother's life was not easy during this time.

"Then congratulations to Uncle Zhao," Lin Qingwan saw Yubin and Danju coming, and naturally pointed to a pot of chrysanthemums on the ground to change the topic, "This color is good, and if you cultivate it, you may be able to produce green chrysanthemums." ”

"I said the same thing, but it's a pity that we don't have a florist who is good at planting chrysanthemums at home, and I'm afraid that the planting will be bad." Shang Danlan followed her words and smiled: "I heard that Aunt Lin likes flowers and plants, why don't you take a pot back and plant it?" ”

"This is given to the second wife by Uncle Zhao, so I can't win people's love."

Shang Danju came in just when she heard a tail, and said with a smile: "This is given to the old lady by Uncle Zhao, if Aunt Lin likes it, I will talk to my grandmother when I go back, and you can take a pot back." ”

Lin Qingwan wanted to refuse, but thought of what Wen Yuan mentioned last time, saying that it was difficult to buy chrysanthemums, and it was difficult for them to cultivate, so she nodded and smiled: "Okay, enjoy chrysanthemums in autumn, at the right time, I will thank Danju first." ”

Shang Danju was stunned for a moment, and then showed a big smile, "Aunt Lin is polite." ”

As he spoke, the kitchen brought steamed crabs, chrysanthemum wine and various side dishes.

Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin didn't want to eat much, they lived in the farm, where crabs were also raised, and they didn't eat less during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The key is that crabs are cold, and the health of the aunt and nephew is not very good, so they don't eat much.

At this time, Mrs. Xie found an excuse to take away the second empress dowager, so she sued the old lady under the pretext of peace.
