Chapter Twenty-Three: The New Aunt

Lan Xiaoqiu nodded: "Actually, I don't like them either." ”

Ruo Su was even more sad when she heard Lan Xiaoqiu's words: "If I had returned home with my father, he would definitely not marry again, it was all my fault, I shouldn't have let my father come back by himself, and let the mother and daughter succeed." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu poured tea for Ruosu and said, "What's the use of us looking bad, as long as your father likes it?" Perhaps, they don't look good, or maybe they are not as bad as we think. ”

"Haven't you heard? I'm going to call her sister again. "Ruo Su has been known in the Marshal's Mansion since he was a child, and now there is one more person on the top, which is very unhappy.

"She is more natural than you to call my sister, don't you also call me sister? Could it be that I can only call my sister ten years older than you, and I don't need to call you when I am older than you in March? After Lan Xiaoqiu finished speaking, he saw Ruosu's surprised eyes: "Sister is twenty-eight?" ”

Lan Xiaoqiu also poured a cup of tea for herself just now, and almost didn't squirt out the tea when she heard Ruosu's surprised tone: "Well, what's wrong?" ”

"Why hasn't my sister gotten married yet? Even if the old girl in the palace is twenty-five, she has to be married, why does my sister ...... "Ruosu has always felt that Lan Xiaoqiu is not much older than herself, but now that she knows Lan Xiaoqiu's age, she looks at her like a monster.

"So you think I'm too big." Lan Xiaoqiu sat on the chair, a little sad.

"Sister, don't be sad, look at my sister's appearance at most twenty, it's really not like twenty-eight years old, you come with me." Lan Xiaoqiu was pulled out of the door by Ruosu, and Ruosu took Lan Xiaoqiu to the kitchen: "Mother Xu." ”

A woman came out in response, Lan Xiaoqiu looked at her, she looked like she was forty or fifty years old, with a little gray hair on her head, she smiled happily when she saw Ruosu come back, and there were many more folds next to her eyes.

"Miss is back."

"Yes. Go back to work. ”

Seeing Xu's mother go back to the kitchen, Ruo Su said: "She is also twenty-eight years old." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu was extremely surprised: "What? She looked like she was in her forties. So Miss's father? Lan Xiaoqiu asked.

Ruo Su thought for a moment: "Daddy is almost forty years old now. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu couldn't believe it, this ancient man was so old so fast? Is it true that after the age of twenty, these wrinkles and gray hair have multiplied?

Ruosu pointed to an old man with silver hair sweeping the floor on the side: "He seems to be in his forties." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu has the heart to throw herself into the well, so according to the name of the ancients, should she be called 'Lan Ma'?

Ruo Su pulled Lan Xiaoqiu and said, "My sister has such good skin, there must be some secret." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu smiled: "What secret do I have? We're all like that there, maybe not very old. ”

Ruo Su thought for a while and said, "In this case, my sister will still say that she is twenty in the future." ”

"Isn't that a lie?" Actually, Lan Xiaoqiu had already wanted to do this.

"Anyway, no one here knows you, if you say you're twenty-eight, I'm afraid you'll be robbed and stewed by others. Others like you will use you for alchemy, I remember going out with my father to see a person being boiled alive, saying that the person was in his twenties, but I couldn't see it at all. Both height and appearance, he was like a five- or six-year-old child, and others treated him as a monster, and later an alchemist said that eating him could prolong his life. After Ruosu finished speaking, Lan Xiaoqiu snorted: "That should be suitable for dwarfism, they actually eat anything." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu seemed to be helpless, but she was happy in her heart: "Okay, I'm only twenty this year, not twenty-eight." ”

"Miss, the marshal and the marshal's wife asked the lady to go back, and they waited for the lady in the house." A maid ran to the kitchen door.

Ruosu asked, "Madame Marshal?" Who made you call it that? But the emperor sealed it? ”

The maid shook her head and said, "Madame told us to call her that." ”

"Don't call it that in front of me in the future." It was the first time for Lan Xiaoqiu to see Ruosu angry, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"I ask you, how did Daddy and her meet? What's her name? ”

"I heard that when the marshal returned home, he saved his wife and mother and daughter on the way, and the marshal ....... The new lady seems to be called Cheng Rong. "The maid is clever.

"Is the bottom line clear?" Ruosu frowned.

"I heard that she used to be everyone's young lady, but later she got married and had children, and her husband died." The maid told the truth.

Ruosu took Lan Xiaoqiu into the main hall, and the aunt and Hongyu greeted them attentively, calling out one 'daughter' and one 'sister'.

Lan Xiaoqiu was looked at by her aunt: "This is the legendary chef Lan Xiaoqiu, right?" ”

Lan Xiaoqiu thought to herself: You guys are really not simple, we just inquired about your details, and you even found out my name.

"Yes." Ruo Su sat next to the marshal, and when the mother and daughter saw Ruo Su's face, they also sat back: "How old is the cook?" ”

Lan Xiaoqiu said: "Twenty." ”

"Not like that." The woman was really in the old city, and when she saw Lan Xiaoqiu, she knew that she was more than twenty, and Lan Xiaoqiu thought weakly: If you don't say that I will be twenty-five myself?

I only heard the woman's eyes narrowed and said, "I thought you were younger than my daughter, look at this watery and smart, you are about to catch up with our family." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu was relieved when he heard this, it turned out that he was not praising himself, but praising Ruosu in a circle.

This woman is really not simple!

"I heard that the cook only made four dishes for Miss, and she cured Miss's lack of appetite?" Cheng Rong seemed to have inquired a lot, Lan Xiaoqiu nodded and didn't dare to say more, after all, the private release of the imperial court is to kill the head.

Cheng Rong leaned sideways on the marshal's shoulder, and said delicately: "Marshal, it seems that we Ruosu has found a master, and the chef Ruosu in the capital can't even look down on it, I didn't expect to pay so much attention to this cook, I want to try this cook's skills." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu rolled her eyes for a while.

Ruo Su said: "She is good at making pastries, and she still tells the kitchen for three meals on weekdays, and we are already very tired when we return to Beijing." "Ruosu wanted to get rid of them.

But I heard Hongyu say: "Sister, I heard that you eat a lot of good things, but the famous chefs in the capital really can't be underestimated, and they are all from famous teachers." Presumably, my sister's chef must also be a famous teacher? Although my sister has never seen anything in the world, she has heard of these famous families. ”

"I, my master, you must not have heard of it." Lan Xiaoqiu thought to himself about people more than a thousand years later, how would you know?

"It seems that the cook is modest, but I also heard that the cook is good at making pastries, and I happened to meet a pastry chef a few days ago, so I invited him, why don't you have time to talk?" The 'inquiry' in the mouths of Hongyu and Cheng Rong was a conscious gossip in Lan Xiaoqiu's heart, and he heard the news before he came back, and asked a master to prepare to give himself a dismissal.

Ruo Su smiled: "My sister really has nothing to do on weekdays, it seems that I don't even need to introduce myself, I'm afraid you can even inquire about the colors I like and hate, right?" Why didn't you ask who I hated? How many people have you killed? ”

"Ruosu." The marshal felt that the two of them were tense, so he reminded him sharply. Lan Xiaoqiu said: "I have a fate with Miss, but in fact, the craftsmanship is not exquisite. I want Miss to take me to the capital to see and understand. ”

"Then you're going to have to see what you're going to see." Hong Yuyu rolled his eyes angrily, and there was something to say. was secretly kicked by Cheng Rong.

Ruosu also sat leaning on the marshal: "Daddy, do you remember that when we were walking in the desert, we encountered wind and sand and delayed our trip for two days, and the soldiers drank all the water, but we couldn't find a water source?" ”

"Remember, at that time, fortunately, God blessed us, we found a lake and saved everyone." The marshal sighed.

Ruo Su said: "If you are in the capital, this kind of lake is not surprising at all, and this kind of lake is not even as beautiful as other lakes. But it appeared in the desert and saved tens of thousands of lives. Lan Xiaoqiu is like a lake, saving her daughter's life, otherwise her daughter would not stand in front of you in a good manner. ”

Saying that, Ruosu took Lan Xiaoqiu's hand: "So, in the future, Lan Xiaoqiu will be my sister, the sister who is closer than anyone else." If anyone embarrasses her, it is embarrassing for their daughter, don't you often say that you want to repay your kindness? She saved her daughter, she was her daughter's benefactor, even if she wasn't a cook, her daughter should bring her back to repay her kindness, right? ”

I only heard Hongyu cough dryly: "I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll go first." ”

"Wait." Ruosu stood up and said, "Since I call you sister, then we are sisters." So is Sister Blue also Sister Red's sister? So in the future, don't call the cook and the cook Sister Lan. ”

I saw Cheng Rong pushing Hongyu with an unhappy face to go out: "You father and daughter have a good chat, we won't bother." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu also said that he went around and left space for the father and daughter.

"Daddy, why do you want to marry again?" Ruo Su felt very sad when she thought of her mother: "Mrs. Marshal, it was originally her mother's name, why did she call her?" ”

The marshal said: "I will naturally not forget your mother, she is the marshal's wife." As for Cheng Rong, I didn't announce it to the world, I just wanted to give their mother and daughter a place to live, after all, it is not easy for a woman to carry a child. You haven't gotten to know her yet, but when you get to know her, you'll naturally know how good she is. Hongyu, you don't want to meet her, after all, she is your sister, and you will get married in a few months, this little girl who was born and died by her father's side and was not afraid of anything is finally going to be a wife and mother. ”

The marshal touched Ruosu's head lovingly, Ruosu was a little shy: "It's all the emperor's marriage, but in fact, my daughter doesn't like the general very much." ”

"No nonsense." The marshal reminded, and said, "Actually, Daddy knows why you don't like him. Because his kung fu is under you, he has been with his father for so many years, and his father can also see how his kung fu is. Although he was able to become a martial champion back then, his father also felt very strange. But after all, he is also a descendant of the Fang family, and this Fang Nian is also a famous general, if he hadn't been released with a hidden arrow during the battle, he couldn't exert his strength, and the current marshal should also be General Fang Nian. ”
