green bamboo dream

The lotus leaves that almost harmed the pond were only able to get a few baskets of fresh lotus leaves that met the requirements. The group left under the sad eyes of the women in charge of taking care of the pond. 【26nbsp;】

Now that the old lady has been settled, Yu Zhu let go of her scruples and went to the big kitchen to direct in person.

First use fresh young lotus leaves to squeeze out the juice, then pour in water to dilute it into a light blue color, add ugly flavor seeds, sandalwood powder to enhance the flavor, and lotus root powder to adjust the shape, stir well and then use it to knead the noodles.

In the kitchen, there is a woman who specializes in kneading noodles. She has a big shoulder and a round waist, and the dough she kneads is quite chewy.

Yu Zhu proudly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white and tender arms. He turned a blind eye to Cheng Xunxun who followed in, and was about to make a big fight... A silver soup mold in the shape of a small lotus pod, more than one foot long and one inch square, with pea-sized chisels on the top The shape is fast and easy to make, and the cute little lotus pods are quickly placed on the chopping board, which is really cute...

Then there are small water chestnut, small plum blossom and small chrysanthemum molds, and Yuzhu is not going to let it go, especially the small chrysanthemum, you must make more...

Cheng Xunxun sat at the table outside the kitchen looking at the bamboo molds, and teased her: "That's all you can do? It's like kneading mud."

Yuzhu recited silently, I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear anything...

Mama Gan, the kitchen steward standing by the side, was beating her heart out. What did the second master and his wife sing about? Even if the wife wanted to make some fresh food to please the second master, she didn't have to do it herself.

And Er Ye, if you want to eat something just out of the pot, you only need to sit in the house and wait for a while. Why go to the kitchen to wait in person, making everyone in the kitchen trembling, either here smashed the bowl or The pot was burnt over there, if things go on like this, will the people in the house still have to eat... Oops, why is my life so miserable?

Put the finished sample in boiling water, boil it, boil it half-cooked, and then put it in the chicken soup. The small light green noodles are only the size of beans, and they are paired with white bamboo shoots and white lotus root slices. They are soaked in clear and bright The three-colored chicken soup shines brightly, and a few pink lotus petals are coquettishly placed on it by Yuzhu, floating on it like a boat. It is served in a blue and white bowl with eight treasures, which is quite interesting. .

Enduring the greed, he divided the soup into two holding boxes, and ordered the old woman to bring one without petals to the old lady to taste, and then ordered someone to bring the other back to Qingyuyuan.

Courtesy brought a bowl in front of Cheng Xunxun, "Let's eat it while the soup is hot, I think it should taste good."

Cheng Xunxun looked at the faint excitement on Yuzhu's face that he was trying to hide, and felt a little weird, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong, and he attributed it to Yuzhu's childish nature...similar to urchins who like to squeeze mud.

He picked up a spoon and took a sip, the soup was really clear and delicious, with a faint fragrance of lotus leaves, and the chicken soup was boiled just right, so he looked into Yuzhu's expectant eyes, nodded and smiled, "Very good." , he probably didn't want to eat in the barracks anymore.

Yuzhu firmly suppressed the raised corner of her mouth, and lowered her head to drink the soup... A bowl full of small chrysanthemums, you can enjoy it slowly...

After eating the lotus leaf soup, the little maid served fragrant tea.

Cheng Xunxun leaned on the big welcoming pillow with a relaxed expression, feeling relaxed all over his body and mind, suddenly remembered something, stood up and asked, "Has anyone visited from the Jiang family recently?"

Yu Zhu didn't have the habit of helping others to hide, so she immediately collapsed, "...Yes, but mother sent them away, and I don't want to care about them."

Cheng Xunxun's face was stern, with a mocking smile on his lips: "Listen to mother, it's a mess here, don't get you involved too... If the eldest sister comes to you alone in the future, don't see me... just push it on me , I didn’t let you see it, remember?”

"That's it, I remember." Yu Zhu nodded hastily.

Afraid of Mrs. Yuzhu's benevolence, Cheng Xunxun deliberately made it clear: "...some people are going to jump the wall in a hurry. Earlier, someone in Jiang's family took 25 taels of silver to release loan sharks, because he was afraid of being found evidence. , It was all done in the name of others, and it has always been relying on the signboard of Dingnanhou Mansion. Now the Jiang family has taken the title, and the wall is overthrown by everyone, so they turn their faces and deny people... ...not to mention the loss of money, some money was borrowed, and something happened to the Jiang family, and the creditors were afraid of losing money, so they flocked into the mansion to ask for money."

Yu Zhu was shocked, couldn't it be that Jiang Hong just went north, and the mansion is in such a mess?

"I heard from my grandmother that the old lady of the Jiang family is still very powerful. How could she let her descendants cause such a catastrophe?" Loaning loan sharks is not fun. Forbidden, what happened to Wang Xifeng in the Dream of Red Mansions who was found out to drag the whole family with loan sharks?They still took the man-month case and let it go. How much is the total? The 25 taels of the Jiang family's silver is going against the sky.

Cheng Xunxun flipped the lid of the cup and put it on the kang table, with a calm tone, "What can I do, the fifth prince has a lot of money to spend, it's like being chased and wading through water, as long as your shoes get wet, don't you go ashore smoothly?" , is drowning, and it is absolutely impossible to turn back halfway.”

"...If that's the case, then the old lady of the Jiang family is really decisive." Yu Zhu sighed. In fact, she should have discovered that she was not strong enough. After all, the minds of the fourth prince and the fifth prince are not at the same level at all. Although it is possible to win by surprise, but as the Ninth Five-Year Master, after all, it is inferior, and Yang Mou is the real impeccable way of king... Can't help but slowly spit out: "The obsession is too deep."

Looking at her in surprise, Cheng Xunxun was silent for a while, and then said: "Those people are inconvenient to come forward to ask for it, so they found some rogues to come to the door, rushed to the main hall to move out the antiques and furniture placed, and returned They smashed the locks and doors outside the warehouse...it was a mess, if I hadn't gone early, the old lady of Jiang's family would have collapsed..."

He couldn't help feeling a little emotional, the formerly glamorous and noble Hou's Mansion, now that the plaque has been taken off, even the rogue dared to come to the house to make a fuss...

"Then...then..." Yu Zhu knew that Cheng Xunxun and the Cheng family had a bad relationship, so it was not easy to ask, but she was really worried that the Cheng family would return to her natal family.

"Fortunately, this house was not granted by the emperor, otherwise I would have to move out..." After thinking about it, if the money is not paid, the house will inevitably be sold, so he stopped talking. "Brother-in-law has left the capital, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in a few years...the rest of the Jiang family doesn't have any top-notch figures who can carry the burden of the family. This time, I'm afraid it will be quiet for a while."

Yuzhu felt that what he said was still too reserved, it was more than just silence, now that it has almost collapsed like this, there will be fewer people in every dynasty, even if there will be many people who fall into trouble, no one will step on it openly or secretly... Coupled with the loan usury, if the emperor wants to pursue it, he will definitely let the Jiang family take off more than a layer of skin.

The old man of the Jiang family died early, and the old lady devoted herself to the eldest son, and was busy beating the aunt and the concubine, and in order to gain a good reputation, she played tricks with the vulgar and concubine, playing and having fun, getting into trouble and fighting, or taking turns with thin horses and actors Sending... the one who holds the kill in one hand is superb, busy so much, what is the result-although the eldest son is capable and intelligent, but the youngest son is mediocre, and the bastards are all incompetent. She doesn't even have a useful man, so what if she has more means?

I don't know if she regrets it now...

Yu Zhu thought about it. Sure enough, babies should not only have more children, but also eugenics, and finally the education should be average... 囧, when did her mind start to be all about having babies.

Thinking carefully about what Cheng Xunxun said just now, she began to worry that the Cheng family would be cornered and took Jiang Cunmo back to her mother's house.If this is the case, there will be a lot of troubles, and I feel like telling her that I don't like Cheng Shi.

"Then how will the Jiang family repay the money? Although it seems that they only want to pay back the money now, if someone is interested, they will still be stabbed." The last disaster was Jiang Hong alone, and he was found guilty again. , then don't harm your family.

Cheng Xunxun lay down again with a blank expression, "I can only see if I can get back some vouchers and get the money back, otherwise..."

He knew what the consequences would be without mentioning Yuzhu. There is no saddest, only more tragic, and his own position is also embarrassing. After all, the Jiang family has fallen to this point and the Lin family has contributed a lot...

Whether she doesn't care or doesn't care or doesn't care... She really is a person who hates to meddle in other people's business.

In the end, he changed the topic: "I don't know how the old lady's body has been recuperating these days? Send someone to take your name card to the imperial hospital tomorrow and invite an imperial doctor to come and have a look..."

Cheng Xunxun was about to answer, but when he heard hurried footsteps outside, he frowned immediately, Yuzhu's dowry maid was so respectful and polite, the rules are first class, why are you so impatient today.

"Ma'am, it's not good." Immediately after, a little maid lifted up the curtain and came in, followed by Hua Ruo and Zao Yuan, both of whom looked unhappy.

"Why, what happened?" Cheng Xunxun's voice was calm and powerful, as if he was born with a convincing force, and soon calmed down the little maid, and lowered her head, she replied: "The mother-in-law in the outer courtyard said, Something happened to Miss Chunxian, someone just saw Miss Chunxian fall into the water in the pond next to the second master's study."

"He fell into the water, why did he fall into the water in the outer courtyard? Didn't he embroider the dowry in his own house?" Yu Zhu really couldn't figure it out. My son... suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly asked: "How is she doing now, has she been rescued?"

The little servant girl immediately returned: "I was rescued, but... but the one who saved him was the little servant who ran errands for the second master, the one named Xiao Song..."
