Chapter 23 The Bottom Line Matters
Meng Zhuo'er quietly sniffed the appetizing aroma in the air and frowned.
"Nature is good, how? Didn't you go out with your husband today? You don't have to be yours for dinner tonight. ”
Mrs. Yao still remembered yesterday's incident, and regardless of the presence of outsiders next to her, she directly gave Xu Huniang a face.
Xu Huniang was embarrassed: "This dinner must be eaten at home, but that day I heard that a master who made roast duck came to the Xincheng restaurant with good skills, and it happened that my husband also made an appointment with a few friends, so I had dinner outside, and I hope my mother will not blame." ”
"Blame, I don't dare to blame you, you're amazing."
Mrs. Yao doesn't like this daughter-in-law very much, and she talks with a gun and a stick.
Xu Huniang glanced at Meng Zhuo'er, she was extremely embarrassed, so she could only change the topic and say: "Mother, my daughter-in-law brought you a kind of yellow eel porridge that you like to eat on weekdays, it is the best to nourish blood and qi, and if you use some, it will also be good for your condition." ”
Old Madam Yao's expression improved, and she didn't continue to give her a face: "If you have the same heart, why should I, an old immortal, still hold this housekeeper key and sit down." ”
Xu Huniang nodded and asked people to present the medicinal food.
Now it's indeed time for lunch, the yellow eel porridge is delicious and nourishes the blood, so Mrs. Yao asked the people below to also serve a bowl to Meng Zhuo'er.
"Wait."
Meng Zhuo'er hurriedly stepped forward, "Grandma, have you forgotten my instructions, your legs are not suitable for eating any seafood." ”
"I almost forgot." Old Madam Yao remembered it at this time, but she still said with a fluke mentality: "But there are only two yellow eels in this bowl of medicinal food, so it shouldn't matter." ”
"There is a way that illness comes from the mouth, even a weak dose will make people feel painful, grandma, do you really want to take this risk?"
Meng Zhuo'er was weird, soft, and couldn't get angry.
Mrs. Yao is greedy, and she is old and has a high position, so no one dares to persuade her, so she naturally eats whatever she wants.
She glanced at Xu Huniang
Xu Huniang immediately said: "After eating it, I won't eat it this time, and there are only two yellow eels, and I will give a bowl to Miss Meng to eat, so it will not be a big problem." ”
"There are so many delicacies in the world, since grandma can't eat this seafood, then don't eat it, why gamble with your own body."
Meng Zhuo'er didn't let go, walked to Mrs. Yao's side and said coquettishly, "Grandma, you still want to continue to fight on the battlefield and be a majestic female general."
Seafood is the biggest cause of rheumatism, and you should not disregard your ideals for this bite?
And after your leg is healed, you want to eat what you want to eat, you have worked hard all your life, don't you want to see the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, go to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River to have a good look, experience the humanities and culture of other places, and then taste the local food.
Our Nanyue Principality is so big, there are countless delicacies, in addition to seafood, there are many delicious dishes. ”
Mrs. Yao couldn't help but start enjoying the beauty of the future.
She smiled: "This is true, my greatest wish when I was young was to defend the territory and go into battle to kill the enemy, and the other goal was to see the mountains and rivers of the motherland and eat authentic food from other places." ”
"That's it!"
Meng Zhuo'er nodded vigorously and agreed, "Now that Old Lady Yao is in good health, just wait for you to get better, and then be a pair of fairy couples and travel around the country!" ”
"You kid, why are you still joking that grandma is here~"
Old Madam Yao blushed when she was said.
Old Mrs. Yao injured her body when she gave birth to Concubine Chu, and she has only one child in her life, which has to be replaced by the Gaomen Mansion next to her, even if she thinks of her wife's affection, she will definitely accept a concubine, and it is a very serious crime to have no queen.
But Mrs. Yao would rather have a child from the side than take a concubine and divorce his wife, the two of them are childhood sweethearts, and they have a lot of weight in each other's hearts.
Interestingly, Mrs. Yao and Meng Guogong were good brothers when they were young, and Mrs. Yao and the late Mrs. Meng were also close friends when they were young.
Even though I'm older now, I can't help but blush when I am teased by my juniors.
Xu Huniang heard that it was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Since my mother is not suitable for eating seafood, I will not eat it in the future...... But this yellow eel is not easy to come by, it is my mother's family who have obtained it with great difficulty, mother, you will eat this last time, and it is not so tight to think about it. ”
"Young lady, this is a mistake, there will be a second and a third time if there is one time, since you have decided not to eat seafood in the future, you should avoid it from this moment."
Meng Zhuo'er's voice was not strong, but she also adhered to the bottom line, "But since this is the hard-won yellow eel of the young lady's mother's family, it is better to use it for the young lady, so it will not be wasted, and it will not spoil the young lady's mother's mind." ”
She said it well, not only did not make people feel disobedient and abrupt to the elders, but also completely rejected the matter of seafood porridge.
"Zhuo'er is right, since you have made up your mind, don't cross the thunder pond by half a step, Hu Niang, you will eat yellow eel porridge, your body has not been very good, you can make up for it after eating."
Old Madam Yao glanced at Meng Zhuo'er again, "But there is one thing to say, we don't rely on the sea and there are few lakes, so why don't you use some and try it." ”
"I won't eat it, I want to eat the braised hooves and scrambled eggs with leeks from your kitchen!"
Meng Zhuo'er has a sweet smile and curved eyelashes, which is particularly painful to look at.
Mrs. Yao's heart was so soft: "Whatever Zhuo'er likes to eat, grandma will let the kitchen do something for you~"
"Good~"
The grandparents and grandchildren were happy, but Xu Huniang on the side looked like an outsider.
The smile on her face almost didn't hang up.
Sure enough, it was good to say it to Qin Meizhen.
I didn't expect this Meng Zhuo'er to be quite coaxing.
Xu Huniang didn't want to stay any longer, so she made an excuse and went back to the yard with a headache.
But does she really have a headache, how can Mrs. Yao not know that she has been with her for more than 20 years, it is just that she doesn't want to stay here.
"She has such a weak temperament, as if someone has mistreated her, the guests come with a headache, and the fifteenth day of the new year makes her have a headache when she asks for peace."
Mrs. Yao was extremely disappointed in this daughter-in-law.
But Meng Zhuo'er knew that Mrs. Yao was not a harsh person, and she would not let her daughter-in-law stand up for the rules at every turn like other mothers-in-law, and ask for peace in the morning and dusk.
But Xu Huniang is not even willing to ask for peace on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month, which is also excessive.
If this is changed to another mother-in-law, it is estimated that the son will have to divorce his wife.
Meng Zhuo'er listened quietly, but she didn't say anything about the internal affairs of the Yao Mansion.
In the next few days, Meng Zhuoer also went to Mrs. Yao's house at noon every day, and also met Mrs. Yao.
Old Lady Yao is a serious person, but the seriousness of the bookish anger is different from Meng Yuqing's murderous seriousness.
When Meng Zhuo'er came back from Yao's Mansion in the afternoon, she heard from the housekeeper that Meng Yuqing hadn't eaten much in the past two days, and she didn't have much mental appetite.
Meng Zhuo'er was a little worried, it happened that the roast duck in the Xincheng restaurant she ate in Yao's Mansion was good, and she wanted to ask someone to buy some back, but Old Lady Yao suddenly came.
