Chapter 102: Fucheng meets Chu Lan and others
On the tenth day of the ninth month, the Yun family took Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan out to Fucheng.
In addition to the coachman and the guard, they were the attendants of the three, Cuiping, Cuihe, Xiumei and Mama Zhang.
The day invited by the prefect's wife was September 15, but because it would cost a day or two on the road, Yun was worried about any accidents, so he set off four days early.
Xingshan County is remote, and they set off in the morning and arrived in the evening.
In the evening, the streets of Fucheng should have been deserted, with shops proofing and pedestrians returning home.
However, when the Wei family's carriage was halfway through, they saw a crowd of people fighting in front of them, and the swords and swords were very scary.
The driver wanted to turn around immediately, but the road was not wide enough, and he couldn't turn around for a while, so he was forced to freeze on the side of the road, at a loss.
Yun and Wei Qingwan in the car were nervous.
Wei Ruo was also a little frightened, who would be so bold and reckless to fight and brawl on the important streets of Fucheng?
Wei Ruo cautiously lifted a crack in the curtain.
Through this gap, Wei Ruo saw a familiar figure in the crowd of people fighting-Lu Yuhong.
If Lu Yuhong is here, wouldn't Chu Lan also be involved?
Sure enough, when Wei Ruo's gaze swept across the block, he saw Chu Lan in the middle of several guards in the corner next to him.
He didn't do anything, and these little minions in front of him weren't worth his own action.
At the same time that Wei Ruo saw Chu Lan, Wei Qingwan, who was sitting opposite her, also saw it.
There was a mixture of surprise and panic on her face at witnessing this chaotic scene, and a hint of joy that could not be concealed.
After about a stick of incense, the movement outside has subsided.
After a while, Lu Yuhong walked in the direction of the Wei family's carriage.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, but the matter has settled down, and you can move on."
In order to avoid suspicion, Mrs. Wei did not open the curtain, but replied through the curtain: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, there is Lao Gongzi." ”
Mrs. Wei had already recognized Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong, and knowing the identities of the two, she naturally didn't dare to complain.
After a simple conversation, Lu Yuhong should have let the Wei family's carriage leave like this, but suddenly Lu Yuhong didn't know whether he recognized the Wei family's carriage or the Wei family's subordinates who were traveling with the carriage, so he asked, "Is the eldest lady of the Wei family in the car?" ”
Yun and Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo in unison, their eyes surprised.
Wei Ruo thought for a moment and replied, "What do you have to say?" ”
Lu Yuhong said: "There is nothing else, I just want to ask you, is there still the sauce you gave to Miss Xie?" ”
Sauce? Shiitake mushroom sauce?
Wei Ruo remembered that she gave Xie Ying two cans of mushroom sauce, and Xie Ying said that she would share one jar with her brother.
Wei Ruo knew that Xie Jue was also in Taizhou Mansion City recently, so he should be with Chu Lan.
Listening to Lu Yuhong's words, it should be that he ate the mushroom sauce from Xie Jue.
Wei Ruo thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry Master Lu, I didn't take this thing with me when I went out." ”
Wei Ruo didn't want to give it to Lu Yuhong in her heart, although it was not a valuable thing, but she didn't like Chu Lan very much, and she didn't even have a good impression of Lu Yuhong.
But she didn't want to refuse directly, and she didn't dare to lie that she was gone, but she did not have anything with her.
Wei Ruodu said so, and the ordinary humble son stopped at the point, so that he would not ask for a jar of mushroom sauce in order to chase after him.
But Lu Yuhong is obviously not a traditional son, he said bluntly: "Then when I go to Xingshan County in a few days, can Miss Wei give me a can?" ”
Asking herself for something so directly and straightforwardly, Wei Ruo is still the first time she has encountered it, and the key is that she is not familiar with this Lu Yuhong!
Just as he was thinking about how to answer, Chu Lan's voice came from outside again.
"Brother Yu, your words are too abrupt."
Lu Yuhong scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Brother Chu, I just want to beg for mushroom sauce to eat, who called Xie Jue's kid so stingy, saying that his sister gave it, and he was only willing to give me a spoonful to let me mix a bowl of noodles, and he refused to give me anything more, this sauce is not available elsewhere, I finally met the main owner, I forgot the rules and etiquette when I was greedy!" ”
Lu Yuhong's nerves are relatively big, and he often doesn't pay so much attention to the rules of doing things.
After Chu Lan's reminder, Lu Yuhong also realized that it was very inappropriate for him to beg for mushroom sauce in the street with an unfamiliar lady.
apologized: "I'm sorry Miss Wei, I'm confused, so I won't bother you." ”
After speaking, Lu Yuhong got out of the way.
Yun ordered the coachman to continue walking, and after passing Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong, Wei Qingwan carefully lifted the bamboo curtain of the car window and glanced at the two people behind him.
The Yun family asked Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, what's the matter with that sauce just now?" ”
Wei Ruo replied calmly: "It was the sauce I made with minced meat and shiitake mushrooms when I had nothing to do, and I gave two cans to Xie Ying, probably Xie Ying gave it to her brother, and now Xie Ying's brother is also in Fucheng, it is estimated that he is good friends with the son of Fang Cai, so I tasted it together." ”
Wei Ruo was originally given to Xie Ying, which was reasonable, so he didn't have to worry about being held accountable by the Yun family.
"I see." Yun nodded, and then said, "If it's just some sauce, if that prince asks you again next time, you can tell your subordinates to give him some, and you don't have to hide if you send it to the open." ”
As long as it is not a private gift to a woman, some food is fine.
Wei Ruo didn't answer, and Wei Qingwan asked Wei Ruo with some curiosity: "Does my sister still make sauce?" ”
Wei Ruo leaned against the wall of the car, and replied in a lazy and casual tone: "Many of the food eaten by rural women are made by themselves, and I learned some from them. ”
"Can my sister teach me to do it next time, I want to learn too." Wei Qingwan expressed her desire to study.
"Sister, what you should learn is how to be a lady and a future housewife, and skills like sauce-making can be ranked second. But if you're really curious about this skill, you can discuss it with the cook at home, and she will definitely know it. Wei Ruo replied.
Brought it up in front of the Yun family, wanting her to not refuse, and then teach her to make mushroom sauce? What do you think?
"The chef in the house must not have the high skills of her sister, the son is from the capital, and he has eaten a lot of delicacies, he praises his sister like this, it must be the sauce made by his sister that is outstanding." Wei Qingwan said.
Wei Ruo was unhurried: "Sister forgive me, I've had a lot of things lately, I don't have this kung fu to teach my sister these, in fact, the methods of making sauce are all the same, my sister learns the same from whoever she is, my sauce is in the eyes of the son, Xu is the son is used to eating fine food on weekdays, and the first time he tastes this country sauce feels novel." ”
