After talking to Feng Jiuge yesterday, she saw a lot, but thinking of Xu Tianya reminded her of the matter of Zhanglou by the way, and the fire in Zhanglou has been two days, I don't know if there are any eyebrows

Of course, she hates Xu Tianya very much in her heart, but there is no need to dirty her hands for this kind of person, now that Xu Tianya has done this kind of foolish thing herself, she is also happy to relax, and she can solve this bastard by pushing the boat.

It's just that now that there are so many more people in the house, how can she know the progress of this matter

After returning to the Flowing Frost Pavilion, Ye Tanghua thought about it, sent Wen Xi and Baihe and others down, and called Yuqiu to ask: "Yuqiu, if I want to contact Feng Jiuge, what should I do?"

Yuqiu pursed her lips and smiled, with a clear understanding on her face: "Don't worry, the slave will send a message to the prince and let the prince come over tonight." ”

Ye Tanghua nodded, and suddenly noticed that Yuqiu seemed to be thinking a little crookedly, and hurriedly added: "Let him bring all the things found in the fire in Chazhang Tower, I want to take a look." ”

Yuqiu nodded and smiled: "The slave knows, the eldest lady is waiting for good news." ”

Ye Tanghua settled down at this time, sitting alone in the house for a while was a little boring, Aunt Li was not in the house, the best relatives had just been settled, Ye Yunxiang and Ye Tanyou couldn't make any waves at the moment, she didn't have to frame or guard against others, she hadn't lived for a long time.

Counting the next day with my fingers, the day of the fire in Zhanglou was the sixth day of the first month, and today is already the eighth day of the first month, and in a few days it will be the Shangyuan Festival, the first important festival in the New Year.

This importance is not only reflected in the liveliness, but also reflected in the aristocratic circle of the capital, Shangyuan Festival is a rare day in Nanyan that can't help men and women, and I don't know which merry man set a unique custom for Shangyuan.

On the day before the Shangyuan Festival, each son will send a letterhead to his favorite lady, this letter must be exquisite, written on precious paper, dyed with bright colors, fragrant and fragrant, the choice of words and sentences must also be extremely detailed, neither can appear too light, but also can not be written without interest, a good Shangyuan letterhead only has everything, in order to show the elegant taste of this son.

If you are willing, you will take the daily ornaments as a letter, and ask the maid to transfer it to the son, and the son who got the ornaments can come to the lady's house on the day of Shangyuan to pick up people, and the two of them will travel together for a day, and when the lamp is up, the lantern will be dispersed.

This custom is to let the ladies compete for charm. Generally, on the second day after the Shangyuan Dynasty, a recognized prestige lady will hold a banquet to invite the young ladies of the appropriate age, and the ladies will say the number of letterheads they received at the banquet and compare with each other, and the person who received the letterhead and the person who sent the note is the nobleman, named the Shangyuan Oiran, and the Shangyuan Oiran every year is recognized as a talent and talent, and after reaching the marriageable age, she will basically become the woman who is most asked to marry in the circle of nobles in the capital.

Counting from the past life and this life, Ye Tanghua has not participated in the Shangyuan Conference for a long time, and the woman who can accept the letterhead is at least thirteen years old, and she was named a shrew before she was thirteen years old in the previous life, and no one has cared about it since then, so she has been neglected until the age of marriage, but most of the people who come to ask for relatives are also begging her to be a concubine. This is also a large part of the reason why she chose Xu Tianya in the end, she would rather be a poor wife than a concubine

Ye Tanghua shook her head, and threw out the tide of emotions in her mind, now there are still a few days before the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and it is still a little early to think about this, anyway, almost all the young ladies at the age of thirteen can't receive any letterheads, even if they say it the next day, it is not ashamed, Shangyuan Oiran is generally a famous girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, and the year of the girl is a good age for women.

Thinking of this, Ye Tanghua also calmed down, and at this time, Chunshui walked in, and Ying Yingfu said: "Miss, it's not too early, do you want to pass the meal?"

"Pass it on." After being reminded by Chunshui, Ye Tanghua realized that she was already a little hungry, so she directly ordered to pass the meal.

"Miss, Miss Chen is here." At this time, Yuge walked in with the curtain, blessed his body, and said helplessly.

Ye Tanghua and Chunshui glanced at each other, and couldn't help frowning together. As soon as the food was delivered, this person really didn't mean it

As she spoke, Chen Jiao had already walked in, looked at Ye Tanghua and smiled: "As soon as I walked at the door, I saw many people carrying plates, but my sister hasn't eaten yet?"

Ye Tanghua nodded: "Yes, just passed the rice." My sister didn't eat it, so it's better to be together."

Chen Jiao nodded immediately, and smiled reservedly: "If you don't eat, you will bother my sister." ”

Ye Tanghua hooked the corners of her lips: "It's okay, just more pairs of chopsticks." ”

It's not Chen Jiao's fault that she came while she was hungry, but it was deliberately deliberate to come hungry while she was eating, Chen Jiao was afraid that she was deliberately coming to eat mixed rice, but it didn't matter, her portion of each meal was not extravagant, but it was more than enough for two people to eat.

After a while, Ye Tanghua's meal was served, the standard four dishes and one soup, the dish is two meat and two vegetarian, the meat has squirrel mandarin fish, blue snail shrimp, vegetarian three fresh and braised bamboo shoots in oil, the soup is ham and broad bean winter melon soup, and according to Ye Tanghua's portion, Chen Jiao was served a bowl of green stem rice, and one meal was lived.

Chen Jiao wanted to come over and rub some delicacies from the mountains and seas, but it was all home-cooked food, although she still forced a smile, but there was a disappointment between her eyebrows and eyes: "My sister is the county lord, and the head of the family has a lot of money, how can I eat this for one meal?"

Ye Tanghua smiled slightly: "Then what does my sister think my sister should eat every day?"

Chen Jiao thought about it carefully: "Abalone, bird's nest, shark's fin, and bear's paw are the only ones that are worthy of my sister's current status, this chef must have neglected my sister, and I have to teach a good lesson to become such an ordinary dish, how to give it to my sister."

Ye Tanghua couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Sister's words are bad, those delicacies from the mountains and seas that my sister said, I'm afraid that the emperor eats them every day, the Ye family is just a Shangshu mansion, if you eat those things every day, you will be poor in less than a year."

"How can you eat the poor portal, won't the emperor give money, and ask the emperor if you have no money" Chen Jiao's eyes widened, I don't understand how Ye Tanghua could say this, the Chen family said that the official is raised by the emperor, and the top will give it to Yulu, and if you scavenge a little more, you can have big fish and meat every day.

"Thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun'en. The emperor's willingness to take care of the Ye family is a blessing for the Ye family, not an obligation of the emperor. Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Of course, it is good for the Ye family to have the emperor's blue eyes at this time, if it provokes the emperor's anger one day, Hugh says that it is Tanghua, but my sister is afraid that she will also be implicated" Ye Tanghua raised her eyes and smiled at Chen Jiao with an unpredictable expression.

"Ah this, this is my surname Chen, why do you Ye family have an accident that will implicate me" Chen Jiao's face changed at this time, her face was anxious and frightened, not at all as calm as when she entered the door.

"It's hard to say, my sister is related to the Ye family after all." Ye Tanghua sneered, at this time, she knew that she was from the Chen family and had nothing to do with the Ye family, did Chen Jiao ever think about why she, surnamed Chen, was sitting in the Ye family's place, eating the Ye family's food, and pointing fingers at the Ye family

There are relatives coming, of course the Ye family is happy, anyway, the blood relationship is there, and it is not that she can't afford to raise it, and she will not be so dislike the poor and love the rich, but such relatives, who can like to get up and point as soon as they enter the door, relying on the relatives to divide the inch, and if something happens, they will be pushed away, this is not a relative, this is to treat the Ye family as a silver vault, and the autumn wind is coming, although it is holding you now, but once there is any wind and grass, this kind of person will inevitably slip away

"Hey, it's time to eat, what are you doing with this, my sister should move the chopsticks quickly, it won't taste good if it's late and cold." Ye Tanghua picked up the chopsticks and smiled mockingly.

Chen Jiao let Ye Tanghua pour cold water on this meal, and she didn't have the temperament to eat, so she ate a little hastily and went back, and after she left, Liufang came up to clean up her dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "This Miss Chen looked good at the beginning, but now it seems that she is also uninformed, and she has actually got into the eyes of money." ”

Qin Xin also brought the tea for Ye Tanghua to rinse, and said with a smile: "Isn't it that she only knows that the delicacies of the mountains and seas are valuable, but she doesn't know that there are ordinary things in this world that can't be bought with silver." ”

Yuqiu pursed her lips and smiled and stepped forward to wipe the table, while saying: "Xu is that this Miss Chen is used to living in the south, I don't know how rare fresh vegetables are in our capital in the deep winter wax moon."

Indeed, although the dishes eaten by Ye Tanghua are ordinary, the raw materials are not ordinary, and there are a series of vegetables that do not last in winter, such as green vegetables, fresh golden mushrooms, straw mushrooms, bamboo shoots, winter melons, etc., but the vegetables are refreshing and crisp, and the mushrooms are also fresh in the mouth, and they are clearly fresh. If it is warm all year round in the south, it is naturally not rare, but in the north just after the New Year, the cold winter wax moon is where to buy fresh vegetables if you have money

These fresh vegetables are from the palace of the vegetable room, in the winter the palace has a special piece of land for planting vegetables, which is lit with charcoal fire for a long time, in order to ensure that the vegetables are not frozen and do not wilt, in the past, these fresh vegetables are only for the royal food, only the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion can be stained with the light of the Queen Mother, taste some, now she is promoted to the county lord, and the Queen Mother has blue eyes, in the palace is considered a red person who is stammered by everyone, the person in charge of the vegetable room knows about this, Baba went to the Queen Mother to ask for tricks, the Queen Mother personally ordered, only to let her eat such fresh melons and vegetables.

Chen Jiao thought that home-cooked food must be eaten by ordinary people, and it was too simple to think about it

Ye Tanghua smiled slightly, and frowned again.

The things in the palace have always had a share, these dishes she got today, I don't know whose share it was, I hope not to touch a master who loves to hate and hate, don't be the dishes of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, that family can't afford to provoke and can't avoid, now at this time, it's better to save one thing than to save one thing

Although Ye Tanghua thought well, it was a pity that she was afraid of something, not long after lunch, Ye Tanghua listened to Yuqiu's report, saying that Mrs. Weiyuan Hou came to Ye Mansion with people to kill vigorously, as if she was here to ask for something, Ye Mushi couldn't understand it alone, and asked her to go over
