Chapter 38: Two Taels of Meat

"What advice does the second young master have?" looked at him strangely, and sat up gently: "Come and see my joke?"

Ignoring her words, Xiao Jingtang walked straight up to her, reached out and handed over the small plate in his hand.

It is a plate of small and delicate osmanthus cakes, each piece is only two fingers wide, crystal clear, and carved with flowers, the aroma is not strong but very attractive, it is the special pastry of Du Wenwen's mother's house.

Swallowed softly and glanced at him, "What are you doing?"

"Your mother sent someone. Xiao Jingtang said expressionlessly: "Eat it, I can let people write a letter back home." ”

Du Wenwen's mother was stunned, stretched out her paw to pick it up, and looked at it for a long time before picking up a piece and putting it in her mouth.

Sweet, soft and glutinous, especially greasy, just right for dessert after meals. Anyway, I ate a piece, and Wen Rou simply ate all the plates, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.

Second Young Master Xiao finally relieved his brows, looked at her twice, and said, "Tomorrow to take a concubine, if you faint from hunger in the happy hall, I will be very embarrassed, so if you have anything to eat now, just say directly, I will let the kitchen make it for you." ”

Yo he? For the sake of a concubine ceremony, you don't even plan to starve her? gently pursed her lips, looked at him and said, "What do I want to eat, the second young master will let you make it?"

"As long as you can make it, the kitchen will satisfy you. ”

"Okay. Snorted twice, and said gently: "Then I want to eat two taels of meat, the signature dish of Zhen Zhai." ”

In the past two days, she has been thinking about the "two taels of meat", which is the most tender and fragrant meat on the back of the whole cow, and each cow only takes two taels, cooks it with secret spices, and then uses the strange fragrance of wild mushrooms to fry, and the fragrance is so fragrant that the whole Zhenyu Zhai is.

However, ordinary people can't eat this dish even if they have money, so they fry two dishes a month, and she sniffed pitifully outside someone's box for a long time last time, and they refused to sell it to her at a sky-high price.

Looking at her appearance of wiping saliva while talking, Xiao Jingtang was really disgusted: "You are very demanding!"

That dish can't be made in the kitchen of the Xiao family.

"If you don't give it, forget it. Flattened his mouth, he gently lay on the soft couch and said weakly: "I haven't starved to death yet, it's not too late to starve to death after your concubine ceremony." ”

“......”

After standing for a while, Xiao Jingtang didn't say a word, and left directly. Gently snorted, immediately recovered his spirits, took out the ordered Suyu mahjong, and beckoned a few aunts to come over to play.

She didn't have any monthly money in the house, so she still took the silver and asked Pei Fangwu to find someone to help make it. In order to pass the time, Wen Wen taught the four aunts to play mahjong very enthusiastically, and then sat next to them to eat melon seeds, looked at this card, and then looked at that, and helped to settle the bill.

Ling Wanmei and Murong Yin's opinions on Du Wenrou were not very big, so they accepted her after coming and going, thinking that there were so many strange things in these two young grandmothers, which was quite funny.

And Ruan Miaomeng and Su Lanjin were still awkward for a while, but seeing that Du Wenrou was so sincere and took them to play cards, there was less resentment in their hearts.

So from time to time, there were some cries such as "touch", "bar", "haha, I'm nonsense" in the whole West Courtyard, and the maids saw the novelty and couldn't help but privately beg Shufang to teach them too. Where will Shu Fang? Still asked gentle, gentle and generous, directly wrote a book of mahjong basic rules, and gave them the design of mahjong, let the little girls play by themselves.

The aunts play jade mahjong, and the maids can only use wood. But this thing is really fun and addictive, so it didn't take long for the mahjong wind to sweep the entire Yukijo, but that's another story.

Now that gentleness has a firm foothold internally, the hatred value on her body has been reduced a lot, and it will be easy to accept the new aunt.

On the day of the concubine ceremony, Wen Rou changed into a big red and gold-rimmed skirt that should be worn in the main room, accompanied by a red and black patterned gown, full of pearls and emeralds, which was extraordinarily luxurious.

Xiao Jingtang should be very busy, and his face was not revealed. is gentle and accepts money, so he naturally greets guests, receives gifts, and arranges seats for him inside and out.

"You please. ”

These two words have been repeated many times, and gentleness is almost mechanized. However, this time the guest did not go into the garden, but stopped and called out to her with a smile: "Second young grandmother?"

Gentle was stunned, and when he raised his eyes, his body couldn't help but stiffen.

It was the person who was going to kill her before, dressed in a cyan snow brocade, with a jade crown and a deep smile. The maid next to him was still expressionless, half-hanging her head and not talking or laughing.

Inexplicably a little scared, gentle and white-faced, I don't know what to say. She didn't quite understand why this person wanted to kill her, but it seemed that the relationship with Xiao Jingtang was really good, the concubine ceremony came, and looking at the congratulatory gifts in the hands of the house slaves who followed behind, there were really a lot.

"The third son. ”

The atmosphere was stiff, and Xiao Jingtang, who was wearing a robe with red accents and brocade, jumped out of nowhere, as if he was standing in front of Gentleness inadvertently, looking at Xuanyuan Jing and said, "It's already here, why don't you go in and sit?"

Xuanyuan Jing sighed twice and sighed: "Aren't I afraid that you will still be angry with me?"

The last time there was a fuss, I haven't been in touch for a long time, and I only heard that Jingtang and this Du clan were arguing, but it was a round house.

He seems to have really done something wrong, and he also blamed Shu Qi. But...... It's so easy to apologize, and being able to say a soft word is already his limit.

Xiao Jingtang smiled and said, "I'm not angry, but I'm sorry for the injury of the seventh girl, but it's okay?"

Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Jing made a tiger face: "Besides, this stupid girl went back and got thirty boards by herself, if I hadn't stopped her back, she would have to beat herself to death." After raising it for many days, I can barely walk now. ”

Shu Qi didn't move or smile, but only bowed his head to Xiao Jingtang: "Thank you Second Young Master for your concern, the slave and maid are fine." ”

Nodding, Xiao Jingtang led them inside, completely when the gentleness behind them did not exist, but the little guy next to him was still two steps slower, and said in front of the gentleness: "Second young grandma, the young master said that you don't have to lead the way here, you can go and sit inside and eat something first." ”

After coming back to his senses and seeing that the man had walked away, Gentleness was greatly relieved, and nodded according to his heart: "Okay." ”

If it weren't for Du Wenrou to hold it for her, she might still be unconscious now, or she might just be dying, so when she sees that person in the future, she can really hide as far as she can.

Xuanyuan Jing didn't take gentleness to heart, Xiao Jingtang could accept her words, then he didn't have any opinion, but he ......

"You let her come here to take a concubine, are you sure that nothing will happen?" he said, "The new one can't be wronged." ”

"I'm measured. Xiao Jingtang lowered his eyes: "She is very open to my concubine now, and she must not embarrass the newcomer." ”

That's really the case, it would be good Xuanyuan Jing pouted, glanced at the lively inner courtyard, and didn't say much, just sat down on the chairman.

glanced at him, and then looked at Du Wenrou who walked in in the distance, Xiao Jingtang summoned the slave and whispered two orders.

So Gentleness was led into the chamber.

"Am I eating here alone?" said gently and curiously, "Aren't the banquets all in the courtyard?"

The little maid who led the way smiled and said, "The second young master ordered you to eat here raw, and when you have eaten enough, you can go and salute." ”

What do you mean? I'm afraid she'll bite if I let her out? I flattened my mouth in displeasure, sat down gently, and was about to mumble when I smelled a burst of fungus wafting in from outside.

This fragrance! The gentle eyes lit up, and when she turned her head, she saw that the kitchen maid came in cautiously with a food box, and saluted her respectfully: "Second young grandmother, the second young master added the dishes for you." ”

"Two taels of meat"!

In front of such delicacies, what manners are floating clouds, gentle saliva flowing, seeing that the little guy put the dishes on the table, he immediately picked up the chopsticks and ate them!

Tender beef, delicious spices, and rare wild mushrooms, this dish is simply the best in the world, there is a wood and there is a tear to eat, gentle as much as possible, want to enjoy a while more, but a plate of belly, it will take a stick of incense less than the time.

"Master!" Seeing that she had a tendency to pick up the plate and lick it, Shu Fang hurriedly shouted, frowned and shook her head.

Even if there were only them in this room, it would be too indecent.

"He gave me a separate room, which must have meant that I was free to come and go on my own. Gently and solemnly picked up the plate: "I can't live up to the second young master's good intentions, and I can't waste food!"

After saying that, he immediately wrapped the rice in the soup and ate it in one go.

Shu Fang: "......"

After eating this dish, the gentle mood became very good, and when he heard the shouting of salutes outside, he also cooperated, wiped his mouth and ordered rouge, and went out with Shu Fang's hand in a beautiful manner.

Mrs. Xiao was already sitting on the main seat, and when she saw her come out, she smiled and beckoned: "Rou'er, come." ”

Gently and obediently, he walked to the place next to her and sat down, and said with a smile: "Mother's clothes are so beautiful today." ”

Praising others is a good habit and a basic means of communication, something that can make you and others happy, why not do it?

Mrs. Xiao was really happier, and pulled her and said, "It's still sweet for you, and when you finish the ceremony, I'll give you two more treasures for my mother." ”

"Thank you, mother. Gently bowed his head, turned his head and glanced at Xitang.

Many people looked at her quietly, although they were smiling on their faces, the lively look in their eyes was also very obvious. Wen Rou suddenly remembered that in the eyes of these people, she might still be the shrew who was jealous and liked to frame her aunt, I am afraid that even Mrs. Xiao was worried about her trouble, so she said that she would be rewarded.

It's a pity that she is in such a good mood that she won't sing them the plays they want to watch at all.

"It's time for the newcomers to come in and salute. A happy lady shouted, Xiao Jingtang came in and sat down slowly, and the girl with a hijab and a concubine-colored dress also followed in and slowly knelt down in front of Mrs. Xiao.
