Chapter 217: This Is Fate Too
There are no earth-shaking, big ups and downs, and the changes brought by the years are cumulative and imperceptible.
Mama He thought about it seriously, and even she put less ingredients when cooking in recent years.
It's not that the doctors tell me, but that it happens unconsciously.
If it weren't for the county lord's dinner today, she wouldn't have remembered the past, and she would have been more serious.
Lin Yunyan asked, "There are also many old people in the imperial dining room, why did Mama leave the palace back then?"
Mama He sighed.
Since she talked about those past events, she didn't hide it: "There was a marriage in my hometown, and the man urged him to get married, but he knew that the front foot was out of the palace and the back foot was going to withdraw from the marriage.
I inquired about it and found out that the man was thinking differently and was still arranging and smearing me in his hometown, so I didn't want to go back to my hometown.
It just so happened that the Guogong Mansion was going to hire a cook, so I went to try the dishes. Madame, who is also the grandmother of Grandpa Guo, likes me to cook very much, so I can live in Beijing."
With a foothold, he gradually adapted to life in the Guogong Mansion.
After a few years of doing so, Mrs. Guo died of illness, leaving her only daughter, Xu Yi.
"Miss Yi is kind-hearted and gentle, and misses her deceased mother very much," Grandma Ho said slowly, "She often comes to the kitchen in order to learn from me a few dishes that my deceased mother liked, and to cook and serve them with her own hands.
After many times, she and I became familiar with me, and occasionally said things that I didn't want to say to the maids and personal grandmothers.
It's probably all about her father."
Those are the things that children who have lost their lives at an early age will worry about.
"Will my father continue the strings? What kind of person is a stepmother? Will you be kind to me?"
"My mothers always advised me that it was very common for me to continue the strings, and if I was obsessed, it would embarrass my father."
"But my father comforted me and said that he didn't have the heart to continue the strings, and he missed his mother very much."
"Am I being too stubborn? Even if my father doesn't continue the strings, there will be an aunt by his side in the future."
"I'm just a daughter, and my father doesn't have an incense to inherit ......
Hearing this, of course Mama He felt sorry for Xu Yi, and at the same time, she felt that Xu Mang was not easy.
For the man who never forgets his deceased wife year after year, compared with the man who she once decided to marry and changed his hexagram, heaven and earth.
"I know this kind of thought, but when I looked at Miss Yi at that time, I wanted to take good care of her," Grandma He lowered her eyes and said, "How can I not see such a shrewd person as Grandpa Laoguo?"
He came to me once, and he thanked me for accompanying the girl, but he didn't have those thoughts.
At the moment, I am still calm, but in the long run, the change in mood may lead to disputes, and he wants me to think more about it.
I understand what to say, and I know what to do best, so I resigned.
The grandfather of the old country treated me kindly and introduced me to a good family business, and the peach walnut was also opened with his support.
I have lived well since I got married, my husband is considerate and kind, and my son is sensible and filial to my daughter-in-law.
I recall that in the past, I was confused, but fortunately, I was very persuasive, and the people I met were nobles, which allowed me to get out of the confusion."
After saying this, Mama He smiled again, and her smile was shy and a little shy.
Lin Yunyan looked at her and couldn't help but smile.
Mama is sincere, so when she goes around, she can meet the same sincere guide.
She has no regrets when she recalls the past, only emotion, which shows that as she said, when she is older, she has a very flat future.
And that bit of embarrassment is definitely not because there is anything that the old grandfather should not have, just because it is embarrassing to talk about those old things in front of other people's grandchildren.
Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan turned her eyes and glanced at Xu Jian.
Xu Jian obviously heard of it for the first time.
Seeing Lin Yunyan looking at him, Shui Lingling's eyes were full of ridicule, and he laughed heartily and said, "Grandfather is a very interesting person."
The grandfather he knew, was an interesting old man
。
Before that, he was an interesting middle-aged man.
It's normal for a woman to admire him.
Grandfather he is handsome, in a high position, and has only one daughter, after the death of his grandmother, Xu Jian thought, looking forward to being his step-grandmother, there are countless noble girls.
Lin Yunyan couldn't help but laugh when she heard Xu Jian say this.
Bending her eyes and smiling for a while, she said again, "Mama has naturally been in the imperial dining room for many years, and she also knows a little about the affairs of the first emperor's dynasty, right? What kind of people are the highnesses? I've heard the Queen Mother say a lot about the king, and she's said little about the rest."
She suddenly asked, and Mama He didn't think much about it, just thought it was in a hurry.
The conversation box had already opened, and since the county lord was interested in talking, she recalled, "I stayed in the imperial dining room, and I barely came into contact with several highnesses, all of them were hearsay.
It's a pity for His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness Dingwang, those of us who do things in the palace like him, he is kind, I have never heard of him punishing people indiscriminately, and he is very good to serve.
King Jin, I heard that he is a quiet man and has a good temper.
The Third Highness is just a little stuffy and not lively, but His Highness is from such a background, it is impossible for him to be as lively as ordinary children, and his mother is strict.
The character of the Fourth Highness can be seen from a young age, and he is impatient.
His Royal Highness the Fifth died early, and he was too young when he was a child......
Smaller, like the eighth prince and the eldest princess of Derong, who is now crowned King Xian, the grandmother of the He family is even more unspeakable.
As he said this, the dishes on the table were also cold.
Mama He got up and said, "It's not good to eat cold dishes, I'll bring them hot again."
Samchen hurriedly came in to help.
Lin Yunyan looked at Mama He and said, "Hearing Mama say this, I feel a little sorry, Mama has already left when my mother entered the palace, right? She hasn't been able to taste your craft."
"There are so many powerful cooks in the imperial dining room," Mama He hurriedly waved her hand, and was about to be modest, when suddenly her mind moved, and she changed her words, "I really missed it, I was in charge of Grandpa Guo's mother in the mansion at that time.
I didn't expect to go around and around, but now I can cook food for the county lord, which is also fate.
Your fate with Grandpa Guo!"
Shenchen was closing the lid of the food box, and when he heard the words, his eyes flashed with surprise, and the rest was admiration.
Mama is amazing, she can really talk!
Just a few words, their lord didn't look at the light on his face, he was in a good mood.
Waiting for the He family's grandmother and Shenchen to go out, the smile on Lin Yunyan's face gradually condensed, with a little heaviness.
"Could the doctor please look at Mama's body?" She asked Xu Jian softly, "I don't think my grandmother is sick."
In her previous life, she had never eaten the food cooked by Mama He.
Before she married Xu Jian, Taohezhai changed hands at the beginning of Yongjia's twelfth year.
Because of the death of her grandmother, He Rui, the shopkeeper, returned to her hometown with her family.
It's eleven years now, and although she's not sure when the "beginning of the year" is, it's only been a few months.
Xu Jian heard what Lin Yunyan meant, and said, "I have been recuperating her body for more than a year, she is not sick or in pain, and she has a pulse diagnosis two days ago, and everything is normal."
