141 And on the eve of the flute
Listening to the old lady's tone, Chu Liangrao also knew that she had been estranged from the old lady these days, and when she 'revealed' a smile, she said: "It's just a piece of Grandma's heart, grandmother, it is inevitable that you will be busy, but this meal must be eaten, so Auntie will prepare it well." ”
The old lady bowed her head slightly and said, "It's hard for you to have this heart, grandmother will go by herself." ”
Qiu's mother said with a smile: "The county lord has always felt sorry for people, and the old lady also feels sorry for the county lord. ”
Chu Liangrao just laughed and didn't say anything.
The old lady glanced at Qiu's mother and pretended to be angry: "It's your mouth." ”
Qiu's mother looked flattering, and said two nice words, which coaxed the old lady to be comfortable. But after all, she is an elderly person, and she has only been working hard for a long time, and her body is already sore, so she asked Qiu's mother to take a beauty hammer to help her knock.
Seeing that the old lady's face was 'exposed' with exhaustion, Chu Liangrao got up to say goodbye, and only waited for the old lady to rest before setting the meal.
Chu Liangrao returned to the yard and began to prepare, after such a while, Ma Sijia processed all the ingredients, and the soup she decided to make today was kelp fish head soup, this fish was raised by Zhu Xiucai, and it was fresh.
Ma Si's family had already gone to the gills, and Chu Liangrao instructed her to fry the fish head first, fry it until it was slightly yellow on both sides, then add water, and pour it into the soup castle after boiling. Then add the soaked soybeans and kelp to it, remove the smell with ginger, and simmer over low heat.
The staple food is 'chicken' and 'meat' green bean porridge, and the main dish is mostly vegetarian, although it is light, but it also has a taste.
At this end, Chu Liangrao had just put wolfberries on the soup and added salt to taste, and Du's mother said that the old lady was coming.
Chu Liangrao washed her hands and greeted her, gently and respectfully served a cup of appetizing hawthorn tea with both hands: "Grandmother drinks tea." ”
"Good." The old lady took a look, and because she was not used to drinking the biluo 'spring', she just took a sip and put it aside.
On the other side, Zhu'er said: "Old lady, county lord, you can set the meal." ”
"Does Grandmother want to eat now?" Chu Liangrao asked.
"Let's rest again." The old lady waved her hand and said, "This person is old, and his appetite is really not good. ”
Chu Liangrao secretly took note and talked with the old lady for a while, until the old lady said that she could set the meal.
The big fish and big 'meat' that the old lady has eaten these days are very greasy, but now she sees a table of vegetarian dishes prepared by Chu Liangrao, but it is in line with her heart. After eating a spoonful of pine nut 'jade' rice, the old lady nodded and said, "It's still the ingenuity of the people in A'rao's room." ”
"Grandmother, you're wrong." Chu Liangrao said modestly.
This meal, the old lady used a lot, and it can be seen that she is very satisfied.
Chu Liangrao smiled slightly, feeling that she could prepare such a meal once or twice a week to adjust the taste of the old lady.
After sending away the well-fed old lady, Chu Liangrao went to take a lunch break, slept for an hour, got up and pondered the decoration of the store.
Ding Xiang knew that Chu Liangrao's thoughts had been on this for the past few days, but she was still worried about the impact of the Fifth Prince's incident, so she carefully reminded Chu Liangrao: "County Lord, don't you need to talk to Your Highness the Fifth Highness?" ”
"What are you talking about?" Chu Liangrao didn't raise her head, and drew in circles on the paper.
Lilac whispered, "Do you want to inquire about his mind?" ”
Chu Liangrao stopped writing and said, "I know what you're worried about, but if I really meet him now, wouldn't that verify the rumors?" ”
"But the county lord, is it okay to ignore it like this?"
Chu Liangrao looked at the decoration drawings in front of her that had been changed and changed, and said, "Then you say, what else can I do?" If we want to open some, we can't 'mess around' ourselves until we have nothing to do. ”
Hearing this, Lilac also knew that she was impetuous, so she nodded silently with the doubts in her heart.
In the days that followed, Chu Liangrao either revised the drawings or went into the kitchen to study new dishes, as if she was a nobody.
Until the day before Jilu, Ding Er, who had been with Su Tuochuan for a few days, talked back and forth: "This second son of Su has been 'very' honest recently, and he rarely goes out of the house, looking at the way he looks today, he won't come out, the county lord, do you want me to 'mix' into the house?" ”
Chu Liangrao shook her head slightly and said, "Can you think of a way to lure him out of the mansion?" Lending someone else's hand? ”
"This ......" Ding Er rolled his eyes and said, "Can be can, but the means are more special." ”
Chu Liangrao understood why Ding Er came to discuss with him, presumably Ding Er had a plan for a long time, but he was worried about disgrace, and he was afraid that he would mind. Chu Liangrao thought for a moment and said, "You just have to let go of your hands and do this matter." ”
"Yes, County Lord!" Ding Er's voice was vaguely excited, obviously looking forward to the bad things he would do next.
Seeing him like this, Chu Liangrao didn't ask about the details, so she let him out.
Although she knew Ding Er's ability, Chu Liangrao still tossed and turned at night, took out a homemade lavender sachet and put it next to her pillow, she slowly opened her eyes, and secretly planned in her mind to face all kinds of emergencies that might occur.
Unconsciously, Chu Liangrao fell asleep.
Until the morning drum sounded, Chu Liangrao still felt that she hadn't slept enough, buried her face in the quilt, and did not respond to Du's mother's call.
Du's mother couldn't help but laugh dumbly, she said a few days ago that the county lord had grown up, but looking at her current appearance in the 'bed', it was clear that she was still a child. Slowly bending down, Mother Du gently patted Chu Liangrao's back and said, "County Lord, today is your big day, you can't be sleepy." ”
Responding vaguely, Chu Liangrao's body shrunk into a shrimp, and her mouth smacked, looking like she hadn't heard it at all.
Du's mother was helpless, so she had to shout a few more times before she called Chu Liangrao, who was 'confused' and 'confused'.
Sitting up, Chu Liangrao stretched her waist, and then hugged the quilt and was stunned.
This kid, who was 'quite 'spirit' and 'spirit' in the past, why does he look like he can't give up now? Du's mother was a little worried.
Fortunately, after washing her face, Chu Liangrao regained her senses, and a few maids served her to change into a set of wide-sleeved fairy dresses, Chu Liangrao asked, "Mother is up?" ”
Mother Du said with a little embarrassment on her face: "I heard that the princess had a high fever last night, but I'm afraid I won't be able to participate today." ”
Chu Liangrao was silent and said, "I know, let's set the meal." Fang used a little pastry, and Zhen'er walked in to report that Ding Er was here. Mother Du frowned slightly when she heard this, although Ding Er is just a small guy, but no matter how you say it, he is a man, and he just went in and out of the county lord's yard in the past, why is he still here at this juncture? Thinking about it, Du's mother automatically asked for help and said, "County Lord, let my mother go to see Ding Er, if there is anything, my mother will tell you." ”
