Chapter Sixty-Eight: Spicy
Thanks to the little birdie 344846030 the red envelope, there will be a change in the afternoon!)
Zou hurriedly dealt with his mother-in-law, and when he came out of Mrs. Jing Anbo's courtyard, his face was dark and tense, and he didn't dare to take a breath of frightening the big girl who followed him.
Suddenly, Zou stopped, turned around and asked the grandmother behind him in a low voice, "How is it?
Mama also found that she was in a bad mood today, but when she asked about it, Mama breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, Grandma, the old slave heard that the third grandmother Kwai Shui arrived as scheduled yesterday." ”
After receiving this definite reply, Zou's depressed heart breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, Chu Lian was not pregnant, if she had a body and got the eldest son in the mansion, where would she still have the position of the wife of the prince in this Jing'anbo Mansion.
"By the way, when will the prince come back today?"
The maid behind him hurriedly returned, "The prince said early this morning that he was going to Honglu Temple, as if he was meeting a foreigner, and when he left, he only explained that he should not wait for him to eat at noon." ”
"Calling the small kitchen is still preparing the food of the prince, where can I eat in those restaurants outside. ”
"Yes, grandmother, the slave will go and command. ”
Mama walked over, personally held Zou's arm, and sighed: "It's still the eldest grandmother's thoughtfulness, presumably the prince can also appreciate the good intentions of the eldest grandmother when he comes back." ”
Hearing the grandmother next to him say this, Zou's eyes dimmed slightly.
Da Lang treats him very well, and there is less than thirty rules in Jing'an Bo Mansion that no queen does not accept small things, even if it is inconvenient for her, Da Lang only rests in the study, and never recruits the maids around him. There are few men in Mansheng Capital who can be so self-disciplined.
But he is about to be thirty, but she has not been able to give birth to a male heir for him, is it that the married life of Qin Se and Ming is about to end?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, He Changqi was the eldest son who wanted to inherit the title, how could he have no queen!
Even if He Changqi didn't care, it was impossible for Jing Anbo and Mrs. He not to care.
The wine made a few days ago can be drunk, and Mama Gui brought a gourd to He Changdi, Chu Lian was a little angry, just the wine, puffing out his mouth, and eating a little too much at noon.
The abdomen was slightly distended, and it was not good for the body to take a direct lunch break, so I took the two girls Wen Qing and Jing Yan to the garden in the house for a walk to eliminate food.
Although it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was still slightly hot, and Chu Lian picked up the shaded corridor and walked to the corner gate where the front yard and the back yard were connected.
There was a stone table and stone chair by the bamboo forest near the corner gate, Chu Lian stopped, sat down on the stone table and prepared to rest for a quarter of an hour, and then went back to take a nap.
Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he sat down, he heard a voice from the corner gate.
"Lord Shizi, how can this big car of spicy people be good! Your heart is too soft, and the Bang boy said that he was short of money to go back, so you bought them all. ”
"Give it to the butler, and if it is really useless, throw it away, and the boy is also pitiful, and all he has to do is give him some silver and go home." ”
This slightly rough voice was obviously from Da Lang He Changqi.
Chu Lian didn't hear what was said outside, she only heard the eldest brother's voice, she was a little curious, so she sent Wenqing out to ask.
After a while, He Changqi came in with Chang Sui Kangshou beside him.
Chu Lian hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"It's noon, why are the third brothers and sisters here?"
Chu Lian said with a smile: "Back to the eldest brother, I ate too much at noon, and walked around the garden casually to eat, and I walked here unconsciously, and I happened to hear the eldest brother talking outside, so I sent a maid to ask, where did the eldest brother go, and he had enough food." ”
Chu Lian is sweet-looking, he has been following the rules all these days when he married into Jing'anbo Mansion, and he went to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and was in the limelight again, He Changqi had a good impression of this new third brother and sister.
He has been used to being an eldest brother since he was a child, and he always takes more care of the young, although he is rough on the outside, he is kind in his heart, and Chu Lian is his brother-in-law, so he naturally shows her brother's generosity.
"After eating, I went to Honglu Temple early this morning, and met some foreign friends, the third brother and sister don't know, those foreigners still have red hair and green eyes!"
Chu Lian listened to what He Changqi said interestingly, and his eyes became bright.
"Did the eldest brother eat food made by the Gentiles?"
"Not really!"
"I wonder how the food of the Gentiles compares to our Dawu Dynasty?"
Hearing Chu Lian's inquiry, He Changqi showed a constipated face, he was already dark-skinned and burly, this appearance was similar to a wronged black bear, extremely funny, people couldn't help laughing, but Chu Lian and the maids around him were hindered by their identities, so they could only hold back their smiles desperately.
"The meal...... Don't mention it......"
It was so bad that he cried, and after eating the food of those Gentiles, He Changqi simply began to sympathize with those Gentiles, otherwise he would not have spent dozens of taels of silver to buy that cart of useless things called "spicy".
Suddenly I thought of the words of the Gentiles, saying that the spicy seeds he bought were also a kind of food, but after he and Kang Shou tasted it, their whole mouths were on fire, and they poured two cups of tea to get better.
Glancing at the curious eyes of the three brothers and sisters in front of him, He Changqi's mind suddenly moved.
"By the way, today I bought some things from the people of that Fanbang, and the people who bought them said that it was a kind of food, should the three brothers and sisters take a look. ”
Chu Lian was curious! How could he refuse.
So he followed He Changqi out of the corner door.
He Changqi waved his hand to the two little guys who were unloading, walked to the side of the carriage, and personally lifted a cloth bag to untie it and handed it to Chu Lian.
As soon as Chu Lian stretched out his head, he saw the red bags of dried Erjing chili peppers in the cloth bag, each ruddy and shiny, and the pointed head was very cute.
Chu Lian suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Big brother, what is this?"
He Changqi seemed to think that these were of little use, so he threw the bag on the carriage casually, "The Fanbang people who sold me said it was spicy." ”
At the mention of spicy seeds, Chu Lian unconsciously wanted to swallow his saliva, "I don't know, eldest brother can send me some of this spicy, I want to use it to cook." ”
Cook?
As soon as Chu Lian mentioned cooking, He Changqi thought of the dim sum that Chu Lian made a few days ago, these spicy seeds are useless to him, so it is better to give them to Chu Lian.
"If the three siblings want to take them, these things are of little use to me. ”
Chu Lian didn't expect that the eldest brother He Changqi would give her all these chili peppers casually, which made her a little flattered and wanted to excuse herself, but Chang Sui, who was beside He Changqi, said: "Third grandma, these spicy seeds are not worth any money, they are Sheng Jing brought by the Bang boy." I wanted to sell it for a good price, but I didn't think that no one in Shengjing City would buy this, he was in a hurry to go home, and he couldn't ask for the prince here, and the prince saw him pitiful, so he gave him dozens of taels of silver for the passage and pulled the car back. If you don't, the butler will probably throw it all away in a moment!"
Chu Lian really couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that no one knew such a good condiment, no wonder he had to sell it cheaply.
It's so easy to come by, Chu Lian doesn't shirk it, to be honest, this cart of chili peppers can only play a role in her hands.
"Thank you big brother, if your brother and sister make something to eat with this spicy seed, you will also send a copy to the eldest brother. ”
"Okay, Kangshou, you call two rough envoys and move these spicy women to the small kitchen of Songtao Garden. ”
He Changqi was also in a good mood when he gave this tricky thing, and took Chang Sui back to the courtyard of the big house.
What happened here, the Zou family naturally got the news as soon as possible.
Zou sat on the small couch in the flower hall with a calm face and sulked.
As soon as He Changqi entered the door, he saw that his daughter-in-law's face was not good, he walked over in two steps and sat down beside the Zou family, "Yuanjing, what's wrong, but those Diao slaves at home are angry with you?"
Zou felt even more depressed when he heard his husband's words, but he was reluctant to show his face to his husband, so he had to ease his expression and asked in a low voice: "Da Lang, you brought a cart of things back from Honglu Temple today?"
Although He Changqi is a long Kongwu, he is delicate, and when he heard the words, he reacted that he was thinking badly.
"Where do you want to go, it's just a goods sold by a Fanbang boy, and it hasn't been sold for half a year when it was transported to Shengjing, I look at him pitiful, and he bought it for twenty taels of silver, all of which was given to him for the passage home. ”
Zou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "What is it?"
"A car is called spicy. ”
In the end, women are shallow-eyed, even the Zou family, who was born in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, is not exempt from vulgarity.
She punched He Changqi lightly, "Then you can't give it all to the third brother and sister!"
"If you don't give it to her, will you throw it away? You and I don't know what to do with that thing, and it's just broken if you put it away, and you still care about twenty taels of silver?"
Zou Shi didn't follow anymore, and turned his back to He Changqi.
"Okay, okay, Yuanjing, how about I bring you a set of heads and noodles back tomorrow, it is Jin Shixuan's new style, which I set for you a few days ago, so it's not going to be done soon." ”
As soon as Zou heard that her husband had set her head in Jinshixuan, she immediately left the small twenty taels of silver behind, and happily asked He Changqi what material and style of jewelry it was.
Jin Shixuan is the most well-known jewelry shop in Shengjing City, and even princesses and important ministers often order jewelry there.
If you can have a set of Jin Shixuan's head face, it will be a very long-term thing to wear out.
He Changqi's words finally appeased the Zou family's depression caused by Old Taijun He and Mrs. Jing Anbo wanting to add more face to Chu Lian.
After eating some food in the courtyard for a while, He Changqi went to the study, and Kang Shou also followed.
He Changqi sat at the desk and ordered: "Kangshou, you take a thousand taels of silver to Jinshixuan, buy a set of noodles, and say to the shopkeeper, I want it, don't be sloppy." ”
Kang Shou was about to turn around to leave, but He Changqi stopped him again, "Don't take the silver in the public office, take my private room." ”
"Hey!" Kang Shou hurriedly went out to run errands.
He Changqi was a little worried, he didn't have a little private property in his name, but he had been secretly buying medicine for his mother these days, even if it was a mountain of gold and silver, it was not enough to spend.
He had already seen his wife's unhappiness, and only today he used his face to appease him, where he decided first, but he just said this to make Zou happy.
