Yan Shoucheng's exposed hand convinced the Yan family, who respected the strong.

The fact that the ancestral hall was scheduled to be opened two months later and the genealogy was also advanced.

This time, not only Yan Shoucheng was recorded on the genealogy of the Yan family, but Su Qi and Tuan Tuan were also recognized.

The Yan family is a big family, and the ceremony of opening the ancestral hall is also very grand.

Su Qi and Yan Shoucheng walked according to the set process, and at the end of the day, the whole person was a little numb.

But that's just the beginning.

Yan Shoucheng confessed his relatives and came back to be the head of the young family, which is not only an internal matter of the Yan family, but also a matter that affects the four major families. Therefore, it is necessary to hold a family recognition banquet and invite people from other families to participate in it to officially announce Yan Shoucheng's identity.

Holding a banquet is a woman's business, and the old lady is angry in her heart because Yan Shoucheng recognizes her relatives, and she refuses to accept this matter, so she can only be responsible for Su Qi.

Su Ji is also the first time to do this kind of thing, and he has no confidence in his heart.

This kind of banquet is different from the usual eating and drinking, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the hands of others.

For the sake of insurance, Su Ji decided to visit Jintang Garden three times and asked the old lady to go out of the mountain for guidance.

When Su Ji first came to the door, he didn't even enter the door.

She is not a person who sits still, relying on her three-inch incorruptible tongue, she quickly talked to the people of Jintang Garden.

With two more bills, Su Ji also inquired about the old lady's mood when she got up every day.

After three days, Su Ji came to the door again, this time with two roast ducks in her hands.

The old lady was a glutton, and her favorite thing was to eat, and for this reason she kept the best cook in the hermitage in her yard.

The aroma of two roast ducks wafted into the old lady's nose.

After some entanglement, Su Qi was taken into the courtyard.

Su Ji was not hypocritical, and said directly: "Mrs. Yan, what I brought today is my own secret roast duck, which you will never be able to eat elsewhere." ”

The old lady sat on the chaise longue, her eyes closed and she didn't speak, but from her slightly fluttering nostrils, Su Ji knew how greedy she was.

Su Ji didn't say anything else, only introduced the roast duck: "There are many ways to make this duck, steamed, boiled, and roasted." Among them, the grilled one is the most delicious. This roast duck is also very particular. I met a master before, and he said that this roast duck should be processed quickly, and the duck meat should be firm before the duck is fully processed. ”

"In the past, people used to make ducks, just pluck the feathers and start making them, but it was actually wrong. Duck meat also has a fishy smell, so it's best to get rid of the fishy smell. As for me, this time I used eight kinds of spices, marinated for a day and a night, and the duck meat was delicious. ”

"When the duck is done, it's time to roast. The knowledge in this roasting is also very great, the fire cannot be a coal fire, it must be firewood. Firewood can't be those rotten wood on the mountain, the smoke from that firewood doesn't taste good, and it will affect the taste of the duck. It is best to use good fruit wood. When the fruit wood is burned, there is a fragrance, and the fragrance penetrates through the duck skin and seeps into the meat, and even the meat has a taste. ”

"Roast duck is also the most technical test, the fire is big, too close to the fire, the inside has not been roasted, the outside is already paste."

"The roast duck method is exquisite, and this eating is also exquisite. The roasted duck has a crispy skin and juicy meat, and it is fragrant to eat. The skin should be eaten with white sugar, the fat on the skin, into the mouth, a bite, the fragrance is overflowing, the sugar enhances the deliciousness, and it is just right to eat. And the meat inside should be eaten with a salty sauce, fragrant but not greasy, and the meat is fatty. ”

After speaking, Su Ji smacked his tongue.

Su Ji paid attention to his tone when he spoke, and after such an introduction, his saliva was about to flow out.

But the old lady did not move.

Seeing this, Su Ji didn't say much, and sighed: "Mrs. Yan, these two ducks are a little bit of my filial piety to you, and I put them here for you, remember to eat them according to what I said." ”

Su left without looking back.

Regardless of the reaction of the people in the courtyard behind him.

In the next few days, Su Ji did not show up, but just sent a group of people to send a plate of snacks to the old lady at a fixed time every day.

The ecosystem of Suqi Space is well managed, so the aura is becoming more and more intense.

Where the aura is too strong, the grains that grow are also rich in the aura.

This grain cannot be taken out and eaten directly for the time being.

However, in order to attract the old lady out, Su Qi mixed some grains in the space among the raw materials for eating.

Su Ji counted the days and boarded the old lady's door again.

This time, the old lady didn't ignore her as much as before, and let people take her directly into the study in the courtyard.

When the door was closed, only the old lady and Su Ji were left in the house.

After looking at it carefully, the old lady said, "I thought you were a village woman who didn't know anything, but I didn't expect you to be quite scheming." ”

Yan Shoucheng was recognized, and his identity was completely investigated.

As Yan Shoucheng's wife, Su Qi is also the target of key investigations.

As soon as the old lady said this, Su Qi was even more sure that the old lady knew everything about her in the outside world.

In this case, Su Ji did not hide it: "If you don't have scheming, you won't be picked up by the eldest brother in the family and eat blood." Kindness does not mean stupidity, of course you have to stand up and guard your own things. ”

Su Qi just said his feelings, but he didn't expect the old lady to cry.

Su Ji was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?" ”

The old lady didn't speak, and Su Qi was a little anxious: "I'm talking a little straight, do you think what I said is wrong, you can say it, scold, don't cry." ”

Su Ji's helplessness made the old lady hold back her tears.

"You're right, women have to stand up on their own in order to keep their things."

"My father is the elder of the Yan family, and he is a figure who has half of the power in the family. The union between me and Serious Mountain is a family union and a move by my father. Serious Mountain hopes to take advantage of my father's momentum and sit firmly in the position of the head of the Yan family. My dad wanted to get a little bit more by helping the serious mountain. ”

"Men always treat women as a commodity, in exchange for benefits, in exchange for money. I have been trained as a chess piece since I was a child, and when I was old, I was promised to marry a serious mountain. ”

"I just want to live in peace, watch my children and grandchildren fill the house, and enjoy the joy of family. But they won't let me go, my father wants to control my son to be his puppet. My son wants to get rid of the presbyterian church and strengthen the Yan family. They scramble for it, who has considered my feelings in the middle. ”

"They fought for five years, and I watched my dad age rapidly, watched him endure the pain in bed, and I couldn't stand it and chose to commit suicide. I saw my son go from a handsome guy to a sick man on a couch. I watched the severe mountain vomit blood several times, my body was already empty, and I had to take life-sustaining medicine to support the rush. ”

"I really don't understand why men are fighting for power. My father is dead, my son is dead, and my husband is going to die. I hid in this small courtyard, trying my best to forget about it, but there was always someone who wouldn't let me be at peace. ”

After that, the old lady looked at Su Qi: "You know why I don't want to go out to help you." ”

Su Ji understood.

Yan's house is the place where the old lady has lived all her life, and it is also the place where she tastes all the ups and downs.

Hiding in this small courtyard, the old lady can deceive herself and live a more peaceful life.

Out of the yard, the old lady had to think of the ups and downs in the past.

Su Qi lowered his head and thought for a moment, showing his greatest sincerity.

"Mrs. Yan, I can't empathize with your experience, and it's a bit too much to say sympathy. I'm different from you, I'm a child of an ordinary family, my family is patriarchal, I'm the eldest in the family, but I'm the least valued. ”

"You said that you are a pawn cultivated by the family, we ordinary people can't talk about chess pieces, but girls are also a tool to make money. Since childhood, our sisters have served the only male in the family, and laundry, cooking, and work are all our business. When we grow older, when we are old, we will be sold to our in-laws as objects in exchange for some bride price. We can't get any of this bride price, and in the end it will fall into the hands of our brothers at home, which will become the basis for them to marry a daughter-in-law and make a fortune. Not only that, but when we get married, we can't forget our parents, and we have to help our mother's family when they are in trouble. ”

"Compared to you, ordinary people like us don't even have the opportunity to hide in the courtyard and heal alone. What we can do is to treat ourselves as impregnable walls so that these injuries will never affect us again. ”

Su Qi raised his head and looked at the old lady: "Mrs. Yan, you said that you are running away, I can guess that you do have some resentment towards yourself, obviously you are the bond of everyone, but you are powerless to watch the development of events." You don't go out because you're afraid that people who are still alive will go through this kind of ordeal again. ”

"But Mrs. Yan, you are hiding in this courtyard, have you ever known about the changes outside. The Yan family is no longer the Yan family it used to be, and the Yan family's biggest problem is now. The Yan family is a world supported by your father and husband's family, can you watch him fall and be eaten up by other families? ”

"Shoucheng was recognized by Bandao, and it was not easy for him to stand on his feet. Now that he has other families to face, he needs more help. ”

Su Ji was able to come to the old lady's house so diligently because she saw the good thoughts in the old lady's heart.

If the old lady really hated Yan Shoucheng as she did, then she would come out to stir up trouble when Yan Shoucheng recognized his relatives.

But the old lady didn't do this, which shows that she still has a certain affection for the Yan family, and she doesn't want the Yan family to have no leader from now on and become a mess.

Knowing it with reason, moving it with emotion, Su Ji quietly waited for the old lady's reply.

The old lady sighed: "Okay, okay, I have sold it to the Yan family in my life, and I will help you with the matter of holding a family recognition banquet." ”

The old lady agreed too quickly, and Su Ji didn't react for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Ji took out what he had prepared.

A list of all the guests to be invited to the banquet.

A seating chart with the seating arrangement for this family recognition banquet.

There is also a gift list, the big family does things, not only to receive gifts, but also to return gifts.

After Su Ji placed them in turn, he said: "The time for the recognition banquet is set in a hurry, so I made some preparations by myself first, which I made in combination with the regulations of the banquet held by the Yan Mansion before, and I have to be guided by Mrs. Yan." ”

Mrs. Yan didn't answer: "Are you sure I can agree today?" ”

Su Ji shook his head: "I'm not sure, in fact, I have brought these things with me every time I come to the door during this time." But I know that you won't watch the Yan family decline, so sooner or later you will agree. ”

Su Qi is sincere, and the old lady is not embarrassed.

Pick up the booklet that Su Ji has made, check them one by one, and point out the problems.

A small banquet involves a lot of people behind it.

The homework done in Lao Ou before helped Su Ji a lot, and now with the guidance of the old lady, Su Ji has completely sorted out the network of these families in the hermitage.

This pointer took a day.

I scribbled a meal at noon.

After the evening was over, the old lady did not let Su Ji leave directly, but asked her to make dinner for herself.

Today is the benefit of the old lady, Su Ji did not shirk, rolled up his sleeves and went down to the kitchen.

Su Ji was immersed in cooking in the kitchen, but Yan Shoucheng was worried at home.

Seeing that it was almost dark, he still didn't see Su Qi's figure.

couldn't hold back any longer, Yan Shoucheng came to Jintang Garden.

Tuan Tuan clamored for Su Ji, and Yan Shoucheng also brought him over.

In the past few days, Tuan Tuan has delivered meals, and has become a little celebrity in Jintang Garden.

As soon as Tuan Tuan called the door, the inside opened.

However, when he saw Yan Shoucheng who came with Tuan Tuan, the person who opened the door pulled his face.

The old lady listened to the letter and let people in.

This is the first time Yan Shoucheng has faced the old lady head-on.

The old lady looked at Yan Shoucheng and said sarcastically: "Bad bamboo shoots are good, thanks to you didn't grow up in front of the serious mountain." ”

Yan Shoucheng didn't answer, and bowed down to thank Su Qi: "Thank you old lady for helping this time." ”

The corners of the old lady's mouth moved: "Don't thank me, thank you for having a good daughter-in-law, if it weren't for her sincerity, I wouldn't be nosy." ”

Yan Shoucheng could see that the old lady had a good impression of Su Qi, and said along the way: "Su Qi is a capable person and has a strong temperament, and I have relied on her support all these years." ”

A lot of men don't look down on women.

Like Yan Shoucheng, there are still very few men who generously admit Su Qi's contribution.

Yan Shoucheng's attitude made the old lady look at him highly, and she was a little less hostile.

Su Qi has been busy for the recognition banquet in the past two days, and the old lady told two sentences by the way: "Each circle has its own chain of contempt for reading, and there will be some ignorant faults at the recognition banquet, you have to deal with it, don't lose the face of the Yan family, and don't offend people too much." ”

"Understood."

"As soon as the confession banquet is over, it means that you have been accepted by the four major families, and you will have a place in this place in the future, you go back and prepare well, don't spoil Su Ji's kindness."

In these words, Lao Taitian specially beat Yan Shoucheng and told him who the meritorious person behind this was, don't forget your book just because your status has changed.

Yan Shoucheng was respectful and accepted this lesson.
