Chapter 207: More sad
Father-in-law Xia seemed to have a smile in his eyes when he went out, he didn't expect the princess to feed the child herself, just like the deceased young master's wife, and the little princess could grow healthy for this reason.
Father-in-law Xia's impression of Chen Xiuyan was that he had laid it down early and did not care about the difference in status, because now only women who have no money to hire a nurse will feed them in person, and the wives of large families do not breastfeed in person.
After Chen Xiuyan fed the child, she put the child in the rocking car after taking the milk burp, and the habit she followed to teach the child is to be painful but not unprincipled, the child is held for a long time, especially when sleeping, the child can't let go, it's too annoying.
Casually, he has been sleeping in the rocking car after burping, and if he doesn't sleep, let him pass the time in the rocking car, as long as someone is watching, It's still young and won't move, and when he is older and wants to start learning to turn over, the rocking car is not suitable.
After Chen Xiuyan cleaned herself up, she went to the small kitchen with Mama Miao, and called Xia He, and after asking about the dietary preferences of the longevity county lord, she began to prepare pastries and sweet soup, and when the longevity county lord woke up, she could eat some cushions to cushion her stomach.
Xia He participated in the whole process, even if she didn't know how to cook, she would be able to do it, and she couldn't be negligent if it got into the mouth of the county lord of longevity.
The county lord of longevity slept for two hours before waking up, Father-in-law Xia personally served the little master to wash and change clothes, Xia Miao combed her hair, and after coming out of the east wing, Chen Xiuyan took her to the hall of the main house, the pastries and sweet soup were already out of the pot, just enough to enter the heat.
Today's Dragon Boat Festival dumplings are prepared early, a variety of flavors, bacon egg yolk, bean paste, dates, and soda ash dumplings, made is very delicate and small, men can eat one bite, ladies and children can eat two or three bites.
In addition to zongzi, there are also mugwort cakes, pure mugwort cakes, and sesame fillings.
However, these are all with glutinous rice, which is not easy to restrain and can't eat too much, so Mama Miao made extra red bean cake and jujube paste cake, as well as lotus cake.
The sweet soup is stewed with lotus seeds and bird's nest, as well as milk tea.
Milk tea is still researched by Chen Xiuyan, goat milk is boiled with black tea and sugar, and the tea leaves are filtered out with gauze, leaving a reddish-brown drink with a smooth milky aroma.
The county lord of longevity drank a Gu lotus seed bird's nest, ate a zongzi, half of each of the two flavors, then ate three pastries, and finally drank a small cup of milk tea, and touched his little belly with satisfaction.
"This one tastes good." The county lord of Changshou pointed to the milk tea and said, "I don't like the goat's milk list, but this one is delicious." ”
"It's best to drink it alone." Chen Xiuyan immediately said, "Children should drink less tea, as long as the smell of goat's milk is eliminated, if you don't like the light taste, add some sugar to it, it is very good for the child's body, and he can grow tall and strong in the future." ”
"Today is just for you to taste a new taste, and in the future, we will drink it at most once every ten days." Chen Xiuyan said.
The county lord of Changshou nodded obediently, "Okay, but Sister Xiuyan's cook's skills are good, maybe I also like pure goat's milk, after all, this red bean cake is better than the cook at home." ”
"The little master doesn't know, this Miao Mama came out of the palace, and her first-hand cooking skills, to be honest, the palace will release her, and the old slave is surprised." Grandpa Xia was really surprised when he saw Mama Miao.
There are too many slaves and maids in the palace, how could he remember it, although he knew that Taifu Tao asked for four people from the saint when he was in the capital, but as long as it was not their people, nor was it anyone's person, he didn't care about the simple palace people.
He was already a little surprised when he saw Mama Mu today, and when he saw Mama Miao, they were all talents with their own abilities, and it seemed that Mrs. Tao had a very high position in the heart of the saint.
Grandpa Xia felt a little uncomfortable thinking like this, his own prince and Tao Taifu were the same to a certain extent.
King Chengping can get the Sacred Heart and be treated favorably by the Queen Mother, all because there are no male descendants in the Chengping Palace, he is not the jealousy of these people, there are no children and grandchildren, only a little granddaughter, will such a person have an idea about that position, a position that cannot be passed on?
Tao Taifu is more sad than King Chengping, he has never been married, has no children, and really has no descendants.
Gonggong Xia sighed in his heart, but Mrs. Tao had an apprentice, and Mrs. Tao would choose Luo Wenqian and Chu Wenqian as an apprentice, but he didn't expect that it would be his niece's own son, otherwise he wouldn't accept this apprentice in order to avoid suspicion.
From Chu Wenqian's incident to the capital, the saint immediately summoned Tao Taifu.
"Do you have any contact with Mrs. Tao from time to time?" Father-in-law Xia still reminded him out loud.
Chen Xiuyan was stunned for a moment when asked, and then said truthfully, "There is a connection, but there are fewer than before, that is, the exchange of festivals, and the congratulatory gifts sent by my uncle after speaking casually." ”
Chen Xiuyan's heart was stagnant, because she was far away, she had a new focus, and she really paid less attention to Tao Lao to be honest, and usually her husband was in contact.
Now that I hear Grandpa Xia mention it, it seems that it is not a good thing to contact him from time to time.
"Our family has been in the capital, and we know more about the situation, after the prince recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, the saint summoned Tao Taifu, Tao Taifu has many nephews and nephews, but none of them are his apprentices." As soon as Father-in-law Xia said this, Chen Xiuyan suddenly understood.
Although the virtuous do not avoid relatives, but if the person of the virtuous has a high status, and there is no alternative candidate, it is worth being feared, the existence of the respect of the literati in the country, if you can bring out a capable apprentice, these literati are likely to be attributed to the heir, this person can be anyone, but not Tao Taifu's relatives.
Chen Xiuyan decided to ask Wen Qian at night, he should have a plan.
Chen Xiuyan's expression Father-in-law Xia saw it, he was a smart one, and he could understand it at one point.
"Longevity, walk around the palace today, and take you to the street tomorrow." Chen Xiuyan turned the subject back to lightheartedness.
"Yes, yes."
After eating refreshments, the group walked around the backyard of the palace, the first time the county lord of longevity came, take a look here, go shopping there, so happy.
In the evening, because there are more longevity county lords, the Jin king's mansion is a lot lively, the Jin king and the Jin princess have no daughters, and there are no granddaughters, seeing that the longevity county lord likes to be tight, at dinner, Miao Mama made the longevity county lord's favorite gnocchi, roasted fresh beef, and stewed mushrooms, and the longevity county lord held the rice bowl and ate a bowl and a half.
Taking advantage of the cold weather, Chen Xiuyan proposed to eat the pot tomorrow night, King Jin, Princess Jin and Chu Yu instantly raised their interest, I didn't like the pot much before, but since Chu Wenqian, Chen Xiuyan and his party moved in, they ate it once, that taste.
