"Mama, what's going on?" Su Hengyu held the hand warmer and said curiously.

When Mama Qin heard this, she smiled: "The head of the family was a little unaccustomed to the Marquis of Zhongyong before, and before arranging for me to take care of the young lady, he found a little mistake in the Marquis of Zhongyong, saying that he wanted to teach the Marquis how to be an official." ”

Mama Qin is the maid next to the old lady of the Wang family, and she was taught by the other party to grow up, so she looks down on those fools very much.

In her opinion, the people of the Hou Mansion who can be coaxed by a wrong woman to even ignore their own daughters, and even send people away, are useless fools.

In fact, before she came, she was also a little worried about Su Hengyu, the master, for fear that she would really be as unbearable as rumored. But when I really saw the deity, I realized the horror of the rumors, and even said that a smart and strong girl was such a vicious and stupid person.

By now, she has completely regarded Su Hengyu as her master, so she looks down on the people of the Hou Mansion even more.

"Come to think of it, the head of the family should not be slow, at this moment, the Hou Ye is probably already at home, and he will not have the opportunity to return to the court in the short term." Mama Qin explained.

Su Hengyu was stunned, she didn't expect the power of the Wang family to be so great, obviously far away from the capital, but it could affect the government.

But also, now there are many Great Wei clans, and many officials in the court are from big families, and even if a person from a poor family can be an official, he can only be a sesame official at the bottom.

The prime minister of the current dynasty is now the son of the Cui family, which is now ranked first on the list of the family, which further consolidates the family's position in the officialdom.

Such a "mud leg" like the Marquis of Zhongyong, who relied on helping Emperor Taizu to start a family, where could he be against a powerful family?

"That's not right." Su Hengyu said, "Even if my father has lost his official position now, they shouldn't come to look for me." I have left the Hou Mansion now, and in the eyes of outsiders, I am just a waste person who has been abandoned by my father and mother, and it is very difficult to protect myself. How would they help them by calling me back? ”

When she said this, Mama Qin also tasted the weirdness in it.

She was only happy before, but she didn't even think about this, and Mama Qin was a little ashamed for a while.

However, Su Hengyu didn't make her sad for too long, and quickly said: "This matter is a little strange, and I asked my grandmother to help me investigate outside." As a son of man, I am not good at disobeying my parents openly and honestly. ”

"If they insist on me going back for the New Year, then I can't escape this calculation, and I have to know what the Hou Mansion is going to do first, and then I can deal with it."

Mama Qin immediately nodded: "Don't worry, Miss, this matter will be handed over to me." It's not early now, Miss has been running around for a day, so let's rest quickly, I won't bother Miss here. ”

Su Hengyu nodded, and then ordered: "When Mama goes out, let Ziyun and the others go back to rest, and there is no need to keep vigil for me." On such a cold day, they are also raining today, and I am worried that they will catch a cold and get sick. ”

In this era of lack of medical treatment, the simplest wind and cold can kill people. Su Hengyu still wants to keep Ziyun and them to help him start a career, but he doesn't want them to have an accident.

Although Mama Qin felt that something was wrong, she nodded and allowed when she remembered that Ziyun was a good child and that the guards in Zhuangzi were very strict.

Su Hengyu and the others on this side delayed their way back because of the heavy rain, but the eldest princess on the other side returned to the palace safely.

She went to the queen's bedroom as usual, but as soon as she entered, she ran into the emperor who happened to come here to visit the queen.

"Okay, I'll just say why didn't the queen mother come to greet me outside the palace today, it turns out that there is a father and the emperor, so you don't feel sorry for your daughter!" Wei Zining smiled and came to the two of them, and was glanced at by the queen.

She has a graceful and luxurious face on the outside, but on the inside, she looks like an innocent and lively little daughter.

Seeing this, the emperor beckoned to his daughter and called the person to his side: "You little girl, you don't stay in the palace all day, you have to run outside." I finally had time to take a look at your mother, and you still ate your father's vinegar? ”

"Where do I have, my father is willing to come to see our mother and daughter, it's too late for me to be happy! It just so happened that I got a good thing recently, and I was just about to honor my father. Wei Zining waved outside the hall, and a palace maid walked in with a food box engraved with the mark of Fenghelou.

This was originally Wei Zining who listened to Su Hengyu's words and suddenly wanted to bring it back for the queen to taste, but the emperor was also here, which just saved her work.

The palace maids neatly placed the dishes in the food box on the table one by one, and the refreshments on it before also asked Wei Zining to take them down.

Originally, the emperor thought that this was his youngest daughter and wanted him to try snacks outside the palace, but as soon as those dishes were laid out, he was a little incomprehensible.

Especially the white and tender things on the plate instantly attracted the eyes of this heavenly couple.

"Ning'er, what are these things? How can it look like cow's milk, can cow's milk also be cooked? The queen said curiously.

Wei Zining said with a smile: "This is not milk, this is a new dish I worked hard to find, called white jade meat!" It is named because its color is like white jade and its taste is like meat. Father, Queen Mother, hurry up and try it, and see if the new dishes of our Fenghe Building are not to your liking. ”

Wei Zining waved his hand and asked the little eunuch to come forward to try the dishes, and after making sure that these dishes could be eaten, he stuffed the chopsticks into the hands of the two of them, urging them to taste them.

The emperor and empress couldn't bear to disappoint their daughters, and they both raised their hands to hold chopsticks. Unexpectedly, after just tasting it, the two of them tasted the peculiarity of this dish.

"It's not amazingly delicious, but it's a novelty. It's not like it's made of cow's milk, could it be that it's really made of white jade? "The emperor deliberately teased his daughter.

Wei Zining couldn't hear the joke in his words: "Father is laughing at me again, isn't it better to call Bai Yurou!" But you guessed it right, this is not milk, but made from beans, and its real name is tofu! ”

She offered the tofu she had always carried with her to the emperor: "This thing was actually thought up by Su Hengyu, the eldest lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, because she didn't have fresh vegetables to eat in winter, so she figured out this method, and then dedicated it to me." ”

"After I publicized this tofu in Fenghelou, it became popular in the capital in just a few days, and I made a lot of money. But Su Hengyu and I thought, if this method is just for us to use to make money, it is still a little buried, so it is better to give it to my father, so that you can spread the recipe, so that the poor people in the world can have a way to live, and they can have one more bite to eat in winter. ”
