Chapter 32: Old Things

When Li went to Fushoutang, Su Yaqing just read to Su for a while.

To say that Su Yaqing's voice is indeed quite suitable for reading, the speed of speech is not slow, and the voice is tepid, which makes Su Shi squint his eyes when he listens.

In the past two days, Su's body has been a little unhappy, and as soon as the rainy season is about to start, she has suffered from rheumatism. For example, someone has done good deeds in his life, his children and grandchildren are full, and he is in the immortal class after his death, or someone saves a fox in the mountains, and the fox repays the favor and steals the elixir and gives it to the benefactor...... And so on and so forth.

Seeing Li come in, Su didn't open his eyes, and Su Yaqing didn't stop when she saw this, but got up and saluted Li while reading.

This made the Li family unhappy, but she was just a concubine, and the shelf was quite big, did you think she was the original Miss Cousin?

However, in front of the Su family, the Li family didn't say anything, just nodded and found a place to sit down. She didn't come to listen to Su Yaqing's chatter, so her eyes were firmly fixed on Su Yaqing and her stomach.

Li Shi looked at Su Yaqing's inconspicuous lower abdomen, thinking that this child was probably born in Layue, and he was still a sheep, if the boy was fine, the girl's life would not be good. Where is like his baby son Hongshu, is born in March foal, Qingming, the clouds open and the rain disperses, there is a thousand miles away, the ambition is Lingyun, the plan is successful, where you try not to climb first.

This is the life of the senior monk of Huguo Temple after Zhu Hongshu was born, and Li firmly remembered it.

Su Yaqing didn't want to care about Li, but Li's staring at her was really impossible to ignore, and she was a little hairy, and when she was distracted, she read it wrong.

Su Shi frowned, then he opened his eyes, glanced at it, and found Li: "When did you come over?" ”

Li smiled: "I just arrived for a while, and I listened to Aunt Su read through your light." ”

Hearing the title of Aunt Su, Su Yaqing's face was still tight, and she got up and said, "Since the third lady has something to find the old lady, the concubine will retire first, and come back another day to read for the old lady." ”

Anyway, today is a good start, but I am not in a hurry to be in this consciousness, Su Yaqing does not want to be in a hurry, make Su Shi suspicious, and let Shu Mei be vigilant.

"I'll have someone call you when the time comes." Su Shi nodded, she will be a little busy in a few days, and it is estimated that she will not have time to listen.

Su Yaqing put down the book and went out.

Only then did the Li family come to Su Shi and mention that he was going back to his parents' house, and the reason was naturally told the truth, and he only said that he would go back and borrow two cooks.

The old Huguo Gong, who is also the father of the Li family, is very particular about eating, and has also collected several famous chefs to raise at home, and even the emperor has praised the skills of his home chefs. Now even if the old protector is gone, the name of the protector cannot be hereditary, but the private dishes of the Guogong Mansion are still famous.

Now that the Li family wants to go home to borrow a cook for her birthday, Su only feels that she doesn't hurt the Li family in vain, where will she not be allowed to go out.

After Li went back, he went straight to his mother, "Mother, do you remember the daughter of Chen Ge's hometown back then?" ”

When Mrs. Li saw her daughter come back, she thought something was wrong, and she was a little confused when she was asked: "Why did you remember to ask this?" ”

"Don't worry about why I'm asking this, what grievances did she have with the Chang family back then?"

Although she didn't understand how her daughter remembered this, Mrs. Li still told the Li family what she knew back then.

It all started 30 years ago.

The old lady of the Chang family is a military general who followed Taizu to fight the world, three of his four sons died on the battlefield, and only the second son survived. General Xiao Chang is also brilliant, but it delayed the marriage, and after Taizu won the world, he took the lead in marrying the daughter of Lord Chen to General Xiao Chang.

It was also a beautiful thing, but suddenly before General Xiao Chang went to the border pass, the Chen family and the Chang family divorced, and the daughter of the Chen family married the Gu family in Suzhou, and General Xiao Chang stayed in Sijin Pass forever and never came back.

It is said that when the Chen family got married, General Xiao Chang's sister, who is now Mrs. Chang, once went to make a big fuss, and later General Chang came to bring her back.

After listening to this, Li Shi had an idea in his heart.

It has been almost thirty years since Chen got married, and if Mrs. Chang knew that she was back, she would have wanted to meet her. If the two of them met at the Su family's birthday banquet, there would be a drama to watch, and she would have to see how the Gu family showed off their might in front of her.

It was already evening when Suifangyuan was almost cleaned up, and Shu Mei had time to go to Fushoutang.

After Mrs. Wu came, Shu Mei began to prepare and made some appetizing and simple hawthorn cake. The elderly population is a little light, and this thing is the most appetizing.

The hawthorn cake was ready, and Shu Mei took it to find Su.

Su Shi is so suspicious of a person, if she sends someone over to investigate, she will definitely violate her taboo, it is better to bring something over by herself, not only to show filial piety, but also to see what Su Yaqing reads in the name of righteousness.

When I arrived at Fushoutang, I was just in time for the Su family to set up a meal, but the Su family saw that those had no appetite at all, and were ready to let the maids withdraw.

Seeing that Shu Mei brought hawthorn cake, Su Shi ate two pieces and felt that this thing was quite suitable, "I didn't know you would do this." ”

Shu Mei said humbly, "It's good if my grandmother doesn't dislike it, I'm making a small fuss, and I can't get into the hall of elegance." ”

Although she is confident that she is good at cooking, she will not be stupid enough to boast about how good she is.

When Shu Mei did it this time, she didn't use all her strength, and even the shape of the pastry was deliberately not regular, which made Su Shi addicted, and in the future, she would have to be responsible for her three meals a day, which would outweigh the losses.

Besides, Shu Mei didn't want to serve this selfish and never grateful old woman.

After eating hawthorn cake, Su Shi had a little appetite, and asked Shu Mei if he hadn't eaten dinner, so he asked her to join him.

After eating, Shu Mei helped Su Shi to go to the inner interval, and saw a book on the small table on the kang, which was estimated to be what Su Yaqing read today.

Shu Mei picked up the book and said, "Legend of the Immortals, I like to read this kind of book very much, does my grandmother like it too?" ”

"Yaqing brought it over and read it to me today, but it is a little interesting, if you like to take it back and read it first."

"Then thank you grandmother, I'll be back after reading it in the next few days." Shu Mei picked up the book and handed it to Lixia, and continued, "Sister Su is a careful person, I haven't come here for the past few days, it's really unfilial." ”

"I know you're filial, and you haven't forgotten to come and see me after a busy day."

Although the Su family has not come forward much in the past few days, there is something in the Zhu family that she doesn't know, the Gu family has been by her side for so many years, and the Su family still doesn't know what she is. But this time, Gu's affairs were in good order, which was obviously due to Shu Mei's assistance.

Su Shi felt that Shu Mei was humble and low-key, and he didn't say a word in front of him, and he counted the credit on Gu's head, and he knew how to measure it.

Shu Mei talked with Su Shi for a while, and saw that she was a little tired before retiring.
