Chapter 33: Old Sisters

Although the old lady is old, there are not many masters in the house, and she has some hands in each courtyard. The masters of each courtyard will report to her every day about what they do every day.

A few days ago, Chu Lian made honey-stained kumquats, and the old lady also tasted them, and specially praised them.

In the past, if there was a distinguished guest in Jing'anbo Mansion, Chef Zhou's specialty dim sum must be indispensable, but Chef Zhou died in the kitchen fire, and this treat's dim sum naturally became ordinary.

This old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion is a good sister of Mrs. He when she was in the boudoir, and now the two of them are old lucky stars in the same mansion, and they can still keep in touch, which is a decades of love in it, which is naturally different from the ordinary family friends.

The old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion had never seen Chu Lian yet, and she immediately became curious.

He Lao Taijun joked and said: "Yo, Jiaoniang, your little granddaughter-in-law can still make dim sum! No, the cook in your house is gone, and I can't eat this dim sum!"

The two are old sisters, and there is nothing polite about them. Immediately, the old lady asked Mama Liu to bring the dim sum sent by Chu Lian to the table.

When Mama Liu opened the lid of the food box, she couldn't help but snort softly in surprise.

Mrs. He glared at her with some displeasure.

"The old lady forgives the sins, it's really this snack is too good-looking, and the old slave is out of shape. ”

"Oh, what kind of dim sum made Xiangyun lose his temper, bring it out and I'll see. The old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion urged.

Xiangyun is the name of Mama Liu when she was a maid.

When Mama Liu took out the snacks in the food box and put them on the small table, even the two well-informed old ladies widened their eyes.

The small bowl of sweet white porcelain contains an ice bowl. The ice bowl made of milk and various fruits and vegetables has a fresh color and a sweet milky aroma, which just makes people feel comfortable when they look at it. The ice bowl is dotted with a few newly bloomed red camellias, which are unbearable to look at.

Another round dim sum that resembles a large transparent drop of water is even more peculiar, and it is placed in a shallow, long dark green bowl with lotus leaves underneath, and soybean flour and brown sugar juice sprinkled on the side of the dim sum. It's really like dew drops falling on lotus leaves, and it's a novelty to look at.

The two old ladies here were admiring the dim sum, and Mama Liu spoke.

"Old lady, the third grandmother said that you happened to send ice today, and if you didn't make some snacks, it would be wasted, so you sent these ice bowls and Xinxuan cakes. However, these two dim sum are mixed with ice, and the two of them are old, so they should not eat more. ”

The old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion looked up strangely, "You sent ice over?"

Mrs. He bowed her head and told He Changdi about his hasty trip to the north. The kid had obviously made arrangements early in the morning, but he just left a letter. She sent Da Lang to call someone to look for her, but she didn't find any clues for most of the day. It can be seen that he has already made up his mind and made arrangements, but he is suffering from the new daughter-in-law.

The old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion frowned, "Sister, you have to make arrangements for this matter, and the people in the family must keep their mouths shut, otherwise, your little granddaughter-in-law won't be able to get a good reputation when she passes through the door!"

"I don't know, this San Lang is too nonsense!"

But no matter what, He Changdi is also the old lady's favorite little grandson, how can he be willing to blame him, besides, a man with a weak crown is meant to make a career, and Jing'an Bofu does not raise idlers.

Mrs. He just blamed He Changdi for leaving in a hurry and didn't explain to his family.

As for Chu Lian's reputation, He Changdi didn't care about his new wife, how could he think about her reputation.

"Hey...... Let's not talk about that, let's try the dim sum made by my granddaughter-in-law. ”

The old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion laughed, took the small silver spoon handed by the maid, dug a small ice bowl and tasted it carefully.

Honey-soaked fruits, sugar lotus, fresh water chestnut, fragrant milk, to the mouth is icy and refreshing with a unique fruity aroma, it is really a holy product to cool off in summer.

The old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion tasted it, and immediately nodded again and again, "After living a long time, I haven't eaten such a delicious snack! Old sister, you are really blessed." ”

Although Mrs. He didn't have any expectations for Chu Lian, how could she be unhappy if she really gave herself a long face. Deng Shi smiled, diluting the sorrow and worry caused by He Changdi's sudden departure.

After all, the two old ladies are old, and they don't dare to eat more cold things, although they are delicious, they only ate half a bowl in the end, and the maids and women who were waiting around them also put their hearts at ease.

"You can't eat the junior's things for nothing, oh, this bracelet, you give it to your little granddaughter-in-law for me, another day, you will definitely bring it to me to see with my own eyes." As she spoke, the old lady of the Zheng Guogong Mansion took off the emerald green jade bracelet on her wrist.

The jade bracelet is blue and flowing, which is obviously the best color.

The old lady knew what kind of person this old sister was, so she didn't shirk immediately, and let Mama Liu accept it.

"I heard that your brother Sheng likes to eat these novel dim sum, so you can take the rest back. ”

"Cheng, I'm not polite to you, Brother Sheng doesn't like it. ”

Brother Sheng is Zheng Tiansheng, the son of Zheng Guogong's Mansion, the same age as He Changdi, the young master of the Changfang, to Zheng Guogong's Mansion, he is also Zheng Tiansheng's son-in-law, and the old lady of Zhengguo Mansion doesn't want to love him in the eyes.

Zheng Shizi likes food, especially the dim sum of Jing'anbo Mansion, and every time the old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion comes to visit, she has to bring one back to her grandson.

This week, the cook is gone, she is a pity, the old lady gave her granddaughter-in-law a snack, of course she is happy.

Mama Liu thought of Xiyan's words to remind her of the dim sum, and said, "The third grandmother said that this dim sum can only be left for half a day at most, otherwise it should be broken." ”

The old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion laughed, "Cheng, I know, okay, I've been here for a while, and I'll go back." Old sister, don't worry too much about your family, in a few days, I will ask the old man to help you inquire. ”

Mrs. He exchanged a few words with the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion, and then sent the old sister away.

The old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion returned to her house, and happened to meet Zheng Shizi coming back.

Zheng Shizi was dressed in a royal blue round neck, wearing a jade crown, with a medium figure, and his eyes were slightly squinted when he smiled, which made people feel warm.

"Grandmother, where did you come from? ”

The old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion smiled, "You monkey, you still take care of your grandmother." Grandmother went to Jing'anbo Mansion to see the old sister, this is for you. ”

Behind her, the big girl handed over a small snack box that was still cool.

"Dim sum from Jing'anbo Mansion?"

"No, the new daughter-in-law of Jing'anbo Mansion made it, go back and taste it, this snack is not easy to put down, grandmother is tired, go back to rest, you don't want to disturb." ”

Zheng Shizi carried a snack, thinking of his friend Xiao Xue, who had just arrived, so he walked quickly to the front yard.
