Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 233, loving couple

For example, if Yuanxiu has never seen fish, this is a metaphor. There should be no people in Beijing who have never seen fish. When guests come, she can't say: "Specially prepare your favorite fish and eat four. There are also steamed fish, fish head soup, and braised fish pieces.”

The guests will be taken aback when they hear it. Isn’t there fish head soup or steamed fish in One Fish, Four Eats?

Regarding the practice of eating four dishes with one fish, each place is different, one whole fish can be used to make four dishes with different flavors, and Yuan Xiu has never seen the four dishes with one fish in Beijing, so he used the method of Xinji as an example. This is almost as good as not doing it, and it also shows timidity virtually.

There are some dishes in the menu, such as husky toad, osmanthus wings, stewed sandan, etc. Yuanxiu heard it for the first time.

Xinji is located in the middle of the north and south, so it does not mainly serve beef and mutton. Yuanxiu has eaten lamb tripe, but she didn't understand the name Sandan. She has to ask her mother and girls too much about the treat tomorrow. Some of them can't be asked in detail one by one. It's not that Mrs. Shizi is afraid of shame, but it's that the hours are not enough.

Some people may say, do you still have to ask about the osmanthus wings?Osmanthus fried wings.

This is ridiculous. In this vast land, there are too many delicious things, and too many delicious things have been developed. There are many delicious things whose names are as good as their content, and there are too many things that don’t know what they are.

It’s hard to say that the sweet-scented osmanthus wings are cooked with other meat dishes to bring out the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus and the taste of wings.

There is a joke about eggs. When a person does not eat eggs, he is afraid of ordering dishes made of eggs when he goes out of town. After looking at the menu for a long time, he wonders if sweet-scented osmanthus is sweet-scented osmanthus. I recognize this, and it must be made of sweet-scented osmanthus. I ordered one dish, but it came with eggs.

He didn't eat it, and ordered another yellow vegetable. As the name suggests, he thought it was a day lily, but he didn't eat it when it was served with eggs.

I ordered another Sai Crab, thinking that this time it must not be an egg, but when it was served there was an egg in it, I slapped the table, the name of the dish was bullying, I didn't want to eat this meal.

Then the decoration is also the same. Mom said that Qiuyue Zhai has newly added plum vases with twigs, cross brocade desks, twelve armchairs, etc. Yuanxiu has no confidence. Jinwen is round or square, and it can hold as many things as possible. Armchairs are a general term, and there are different styles.

It's not that she doesn't trust the mothers, it's that if the mothers remember wrongly, it will make the guests laugh if they don't look good.

Yuanxiu is not paranoid, every detail must be perfect, she is just a little woman who really wants to show her face in front of her husband's relatives,

Originally, I was planning to run around after dinner to have a look. I didn't want to mention the matter of the third uncle. The husband and wife both wanted to have a long talk, and the autumn moon was in the sky, and drinking under the moon was also a joy between husband and wife. Xiu was confused, Yuanxiu begged him with a smile: "You are a good man, as you talk, I will toast you slowly."

Yun Zhan teased her again: "Let's leave third uncle behind and do this first. What, don't you care about third uncle?"

Yuan Xiu smiled and said, "I know you won't indulge him, he is my third uncle." As he said that, he bowed gracefully at the same time.

Yun Zhan laughed out loud.

The husband and wife sat intimately on one side of the couch, drinking wine side by side. Yun Zhan told Yuan Xiu little by little that Sister Hui was a warm-hearted person. After dinner, she took Zheng Liugen around and thought everything was well arranged. , can reassure my sister, the two came to tell Yuanxiu.

Yuanxiu separated from Yunzhan at this time, after listening to Sister Hui's words, watching them go out again, and the two of them sat together again, the newlyweds' stickiness is unmatched, whether it's the stalemate in the eyes or the intimacy in the heart, All let a fire rise between them.

At this time, the kitchen brought new dishes. Although Zi Shao was a first-class girl, she didn't dare to take it too big. Yin Ya replied softly outside the room. clothes.

The maids took the dishes and delivered them all over the table. Yuanxiu looked at the sixteen full plates in amazement, and immediately understood that the lingering smile in her eyes was not enough to satisfy her. Behind the room, Yuan Xiu embraced Yun Zhan's arms again, and said softly, "You are such a good person, aren't you?"

When Yuan Xiu and Yuan Hui were talking about these dishes, Yun Zhan quietly ordered the kitchen to prepare and deliver them.

The husband and wife are already having dinner alone, and there is enough food and wine, and there is no need to add new dishes to the kitchen. There are sixteen plates, and there are six full jugs full of hot wine.

What kind of dishes are they? Yun Zhan hasn't introduced them yet. Yuan Xiu already knows that these are the dishes she thought of when she heard the names during the day. , and there are differences between the north and the south. It is quite normal for a new daughter-in-law who has been married to the mansion for a month not to understand the dishes of other places.

When Yun Zhan was introduced, Yuan Xiu took the chopsticks and tasted them one by one, and she also fed them to Yun Zhan. The husband and wife stood together, squinted, and looked at each other with equal height. They would think that they were slightly taller than each other, but Yuan Xiu Xiu won't mind, in such a dynasty, many people only get married once in a lifetime, and fall in love only once. Yuan Xiu has never been in love before, she will think that all couples are like her, looking at the height of the spouse Just good.

What's more, Shizi is so affectionate, he brought Yuanxiu into this family, and Yuanxiu has always loved him.

"Big sister, big sister." Yuan Hui pulled Zheng Liugen and ran in again, shouting from a distance, Yun Zhan and Yuan Xiu separated slightly, waiting with smiles on their faces.

With sweat on his face, Yuan Hui and Zheng Liugen came in and said with a smile: "We have seen a few more stages just now, and they are well arranged." His eyes lit up, and the new couple laughed: "There are so many Vegetables?"

Zheng Liugen, a normally prudent child, also said, "Why am I hungry again?"

Yuan Xiu ordered chopsticks to be given to them, and the four of them didn't want chairs, so they just stood beside the table and ate. It happened to be a helper.

Yun Zhan saw that these were all dishes served at the banquet in Beijing, and the atmosphere of treating guests became stronger, so he suggested: "Tomorrow, I will also give the waiters in my study a day off and let them play for a day, so that I can You can play all day."

After finishing speaking, Shizi felt that he was very smart, and he laughed, looking very happy.

Yuanxiu immediately entered the state of "head of the house", and quickly marked out a place in his heart: "It's from Mingxinxuan to your study, and then from Ningbi Villa to the corner door near your study. There also happens to be a stage there, which will be shared tomorrow. A troupe of small actors will go over, just sing one more."

Yun Zhan was very happy: "Not bad, not bad, I can figure this out just now after taking over the butler, it can be seen that I have worked hard during the day." He raised his eyes, and Yuan Xiu's eyes were glued again, and said affectionately: "I will give you some rewards, let me give you a reward." The people you miss the most will also come to visit, so set aside a place for them too."

Sister Hui was always smart. She put down her chopsticks and ran outside, and called Zheng Liugen to follow. Zheng Liugen hurriedly put down her chopsticks and chased after her: "Don't run away just after eating, where are you going? Are you not eating with sister and prince?"

"Go and tell Sister Yanyan and Sister Luzhu that you will come as a guest tomorrow, and I will not go to school tomorrow to accompany you."

Yuan Hui's voice came from outside the room, Yun Zhan and Yuan Xiu both laughed.

Qingying's voice came from outside the room again: "Miss Hui, don't run, you have to set up a car to go out, and the boys will follow. If you don't walk slowly, I won't help you set up a car and look for the boys."

"Okay, okay, I'm not walking slowly, sister Qingying, hurry up, I know there is a curfew in Beijing, I can't go out if it's late, tell me." Yuan Hui begged in a small voice.

Qingying was talking from a distance, as if she had also walked out of the courtyard, and it sounded a bit vague: "The curfew is still early, so it's okay to talk about it, it's okay if you want to go out."

The girls didn't dare to disturb easily, the room quickly returned to quiet, Yun Zhan and Yuan Xiu tasted the dishes in a gentle manner, and held hands in front of the window to look at the autumn moon. become a person.

On the street, Yuan Hui and Zheng Liugen drove to the outside of Yanyan's shop, and before getting out of the car, they heard the sound of reading from the shop.

He Ning opened the door, and behind him were two large tables set up in the store, with two candlesticks shining brightly, illuminating the books, pens, ink and paper spread out by He Ning and the six clerks left behind.

Zheng Liugen was amused: "Brother who failed, you are also working hard at night?"

He Ning, who was used to this address, was not angry, but smiled back: "Little loser, don't you even study at night?"

Yuan Hui ran in from He Ning, and He Ning chased after him: "Wait for me to see the light, sister Hui be careful not to fall."

Yuan Hui went in without hesitation, and went straight to the east wing where Luzhu lived, her clear voice echoed in the night: "Sister Luzhu, eldest sister asked me to send an invitation card, and I will be a guest tomorrow."

Before Lv Zhu fell asleep, she saw Miss Hui pat her chest with her little hand: "I am the invitation card." Turning around, she went to Yanyan's main room and said the same thing again.

Sister Hui and Zheng Liugen are going back now, the shop is busy, Yanyan and Lvzhu order Zaohua and Hophua: "Take the guest clothes, you also want yours, everyone's, oh, and Zhang's mother's. "

Zhang's mother hadn't gone to bed yet, and she was terrified after hearing this: "How can I go to the Duke Hu's mansion? I'm afraid people will laugh at me. I'll watch the house tomorrow. Second Mistress and Mrs. He just go."

Yanyan, Luzhu, and Nanny Yanyan comforted her together: "It's okay, Sister Xiu is the best girl in the world, she is hospitable and considerate, let's go and have dinner and come back."

Everyone is in a hurry at the moment, but the sound of reading in the shop is not disturbed, and has never been interrupted. After the second watch, there are fewer pedestrians on the street, and the patrolling Kyoto guards pass by again. It's not too loud, but it's hard work unfolded by Jingye.

The general on duty sighed: "No wonder General Zhen Guo asked us to protect this shop. It turned out that he was paying attention to the scholar."
