Now that everyone is ready, it's time to serve. Jing Yi began to stir-fry some hot dishes.

Today, Jing Yike showed off her cooking skills and cooked a lot of good dishes. Of course, braised pork is indispensable, as well as braised carp, Sixi meatballs, white chopped chicken, steamed pork ribs, fried lamb with green onions, etc.

Jing Yi knew that Xiao Yilin loved sweets, and also made sweet and sour tenderloin, glutinous rice steamed cake, and shredded yam.

There are also cold shredded radish, cold spinach, boiling water cabbage, etc.

Today is a holiday, and Jingyi should have accompanied her mother to dinner. But when there is a guest at home, Jingyi must accompany the guest.

Xiao Yilin didn't want the mother and daughter to eat separately during the holiday, so she said: "Jingyan, Aunt Liu is an elder, we don't have to be too formal, let Aunt Liu eat with us." Otherwise, you and Aunt Liu can't have a reunion dinner together on this day, isn't it ours. ”

Lin Xiuhan also said: "Yes, Jingyan, today's festival, everyone is lively when they get together." We're all juniors, nothing. ”

Under the persuasion of Xiao Yilin and Lin Xiuhan, Jing Yi asked her mother to come to the front hall for dinner.

As for Gu Yu, they had dinner with Song Yuancheng and them, and Jing Yi instructed Song Yuancheng to entertain the others.

Xiao Yilin asked Han Qi not to have to wait by his side, but also to have a lively time with everyone. But where could Han Qi leave his own prince for a long time, he ate something quickly and went to his own prince to serve.

Xiao Yilin has the highest status in the front hall, and he should have sat in the main seat, but Xiao Yilin insisted that the Liu family sit in the main seat.

The Liu family was a little flattered to see this Jing Wang Ye respecting her so much.

Jing Yike didn't care so much about the difference between high and low status, so she let her mother sit in the main seat.

Because Xiao Yilin was still taking medicine and couldn't drink alcohol, Jing Yi specially cooked him an appetizing fruit tea.

Jing Yi put a teacup in front of Xiao Yilin, then picked up the round-bellied teapot with fruit tea and put some fruit tea into the teacup, "Brother Xiao, you can't drink, I specially cooked you an appetizing fruit tea." Dried fruits such as dried hawthorn and dried plums are put in it, and the residue is filtered out after cooking, and finally honey is added, the taste is sweet and sour, very appetizing, you can taste it. ”

Xiao Yilin was very happy when he looked at the red tea soup in the teacup in front of him, which the little girl specially prepared for him.

"Thank you Jingyan, you are so thoughtful."

The others Jing Yi poured wine, anyway, the alcohol content at this time was not high, and they could still drink two glasses.

Xiao Yilin was the first to raise the teacup, "Today's festival, I will use tea instead of wine to toast Aunt Liu first, this time I have tired you and Jingyan." ”

As soon as Liu Shi saw that Prince Jing respected her, he hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Yan'er is fortunate to be able to heal Prince Jing's body, and he has not learned medical skills in vain. King Jing doesn't have to care too much. ”

Then Lin Xiuhan also toasted.

The meals are all carefully made by Jingyi, and the taste is needless to say. There are a few dishes that even the Liu family eats for the first time.

At this meal, Xiao Yilin and Lin Xiuhan saw Jingyi's cooking skills again.

After all, the Liu family is also a person who has seen the world, and he is not too frightened in the face of Xiao Yilin and Lin Xiuhan. During the banquet, he also inquired about Lin Xiuhan's family history and personal situation.

Lin Xiuhan was very humble and almost answered all questions to the Liu family. Liu and Lin Xiuhan have also met many times, and they are more familiar with each other, and they talk a lot more casually.

Xiao Yilin listened to the conversation between the Liu family and Lin Xiuhan, noticed the eyes of the Liu family looking at Lin Xiuhan, and thought of the identity and age of the little girl next to him, he always felt that the Liu family looked at Lin Xiuhan like he was looking at his son-in-law.

This made Xiao Yilin's heart gradually rise a wave of irritability. Isn't he a dignified prince as good as Lin Xiuhan, who is a county magistrate?

He didn't know that it was precisely his identity as a prince that made the Liu family dare not think about it.

The Liu family knows very well in his heart that his daughter's current identity is definitely not qualified to be the concubine of a prince. The Liu family did not want his daughter to be a concubine for others.

What's more, she understands her daughter's pride, and her daughter will not share a man with other women.

This is also what Jing Yi has emphasized to her mother many times, in the future, she will marry a couple for the rest of her life, otherwise she would rather not.

In this ancient times, there was a dignitary who did not have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Xiao Yilin was still a prince. Therefore, after Liu knew Xiao Yilin's identity, he did not consider him as his son-in-law at all, and directly excluded him from the son-in-law candidate.

The Liu family is very satisfied with Lin Xiuhan's current situation, he is handsome, indifferent to fame and fortune, humble and prudent, honest and fair as an official, and his character is also very good. The most important thing is that Lin Xiuhan has not married a wife, let alone a concubine, and there is no woman around him, which is what makes the Liu family the most satisfied.

Jing Yi saw that her mother and Lin Xiuhan were chatting very well, and she also asked many personal questions about Lin Xiuhan.

Jing Yi gave her mother a chopstick dish and said, "Mother, I have put a lot of effort into today's dishes, you can eat more." ”

Jing Yi doesn't want her mother to ask anymore, and her mother won't be able to tell Lin Xiuhan about matchmaking for a while?

Or tell your daughter about matchmaking.

Lin Xiuhan was happy today, drank some more wine, spoke a lot more casually, and joked: "Aunt Liu asked me if she wanted to be a matchmaker for me in my personal situation?" I'm still single and haven't married a wife. The woman who can make Aunt Liu take a fancy must be a good girl. ”

Liu smiled: "If Aunt Liu meets a good girl, she will definitely introduce you." A young talent like you, who is handsome and has good character and talent, must also find a woman with comparable character to match. ”

Xiao Yilin listened to the conversation between the two and was very depressed, so he endured it so that his face did not darken.

Han Qi, who was waiting on the side at this time, looked at this Mrs. Chu who was obviously more enthusiastic about Lin Xiuhan than her own prince, seeing that this meant that Mrs. Chu didn't want Lin Xiuhan to be her son-in-law, right? What about your own prince?

Han Qi looked at his prince with a tendency to have a black face. It seems that this Lin Xiuhan is very likely to become a competitor of his own prince. He'll have to be on guard. My own prince finally fell in love with a woman, how could he let others snatch it?

Jing Yi didn't want her mother and Lin Xiuhan to talk about it anymore, so she added vegetables to her mother. Then he used chopsticks to pluck the shredded yam for Xiao Yilin, "Brother Xiao, this is the yam I found in the back mountain." This yam is very nourishing to the body, you should eat more. Brother Lin, you eat too. ”

Liu also saw that Xiao Yilin seemed to be a little unhappy, so he stopped talking. She also felt that she had said a little too much today. It's just that today's opportunity is rare, so she took the opportunity to inquire more about Lin Xiuhan's situation, and also planned for the future.

Jing Yi said: "Mother, if you are tired, go and rest, here I am with Brother Xiao and Brother Lin." ”

Liu took advantage of the situation to leave the table and go back to his room.

------Off topic------

Small Theatre:

Han Qi: Lord Wang, I see that Lin Xiuhan wants to pry your corner.

Xiao Yilin: I can see it, this king has to think about how to please his future mother-in-law.

Liu: It's useless to curry favor, you're not among my son-in-law's candidates.
