The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 188 Accompanied by the Southward Journey, People Fascinate Fish Fragrance (5)
Cuiwei came in with a cup of tea, seeing Yao Yanyu still leaning against the window in a daze, she persuaded: "Miss has been sitting here for half a day, it's time to get up and take a walk, otherwise her legs will be numb again."

"Well, what time is it?" Yao Yanyu stretched her waist, moved her legs and feet, and her feet were indeed numb.

"The application time has passed." Cuiwei handed over the tea and asked again: "Just now the cook said that she caught a few fresh crucian carps this afternoon, and the second master asked the maidservant to come and ask the girl how she would like to eat it."

"The crucian carp is thorny, so it's naturally stewed." Yao Yanyu said casually.

Cui smiled and said, "The servants will tell them. Let them stew it slowly in an earthen pot, until the fishbone is rotten."

"What else to eat besides crucian carp?"

"There are Qingming prawns and rock-stitched prawns that are really good. Ah, by the way, when the snails got on the boat, they also got a dozen loaches. They said they were good for roasting. But the maidservant looks at the dirty ones, and the girl doesn't care if she doesn't eat them." .”

"Grilled loach?" Yao Yanyu smiled in surprise, thought for a while, and then said, "Grilled shrimp is pretty good, but I don't know how well they do it."

"Girl likes it, servants get some charcoal to bake by themselves."

"No, it's more lively when everyone gathers together to eat something baked."

Seeing her master sitting blankly for half a day, it was rare to be happy at the moment, Cuiwei hurriedly responded: "Well, there are no outsiders on the left and right boats, and it is common to only have Lord Xiao Hou. I will go and ask them to take the fish and shrimp. Clean it up, and the girl will go down and bake together later."

The sun is setting and the sun is setting.A thin layer of mist rose from the surface of the Yuntian River.Candles were already lit in the cabin, and a string of lanterns hung on the bow.

Yao Yanyu was wrapped in a smoky purple cloak and sat on the bow of the boat, guarding a small charcoal stove, earnestly flipping a yellow croaker that had been wrapped on an iron grate.Sitting next to them are Cuiwei, Cuiping, Banxia, ​​Maidong, several maidservants, and Tianluo Shenjiang, two servants, talking and laughing, but it is also lively.

Four dishes were placed on the dining table in the cabin: fried wild river prawns, scrambled eggs with wild rice stems, fried small yellow flowers, and fish roe with chives.In addition, there is a cup of delicious river mussels, fresh bamboo shoots and tofu soup.

Yao Yanyi and Xiao Lin drank together, and it was quite pleasant.Xiao Lin looked up at Yao Yanyu who was grilling fish with the maids on the bow of the boat, and said with a smile: "Your sister's grilled fish is really delicious, I can smell it here."

Yao Yanyi smiled, raised the wine glass to touch Xiao Lin, took a sip, and sighed: "She has been depressed since she got on the boat, and now she is happier."

Xiao Lin smiled and said: "Is it because of saying goodbye to my good sister? I also saw at that time that the third girl in Dinghou Mansion was weeping, and her eyes were red from crying. Little girl's house, where are there so many people?" Say goodbye to sorrow."

Yao Yanyi smiled and asked back: "You are so chic, why would you stare at the little girl's house?"

"Can't you see it? Didn't you say, my fair lady, gentlemen are so good! I just took a look, what's the matter?" Xiao Lin smiled, his fair and handsome face was a little cynical, but Yao Yanyi could see a little bit of sadness .

He knew that Xiao Houye was not looking at his sister at that time, but that girl Han.

Since the Hungry Ghost Festival, the Hou Ye's head was smashed by Miss Han's silver handle, it seems that there is an extra hole in his head.Such a handsome and proud person feels a little silly when he sees Miss Han.

Yao Yanyi smiled lightly and shook his head. It is inevitable that you will be stupid once or twice in life. The important thing is whether you can go around and figure it out.

On the bow of the boat, Yao Yanyu had already grilled two fish, and was just sprinkling spices on the fish. When the evening wind blew, bursts of aroma came in, hooking Yao Yanyi's gluttons, so she raised her hand to pick up the wine glass , with the aroma of grilled fish.

Yao Yanyu put the grilled fish on the plate, and first took a bit of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste. He thought the taste was not bad, so he sent another fish to Yao Yanyi.

Cuiwei and Cuiping each grilled a few Qingming prawns, and the two of them gathered together to taste the taste, one said it was salty, the other said it was mushy, it was so lively.

"What a delicious fish!" A cheerful shout interrupted the chattering girls on the bow.

"Who is it?" Tian Luo stood up wonderingly, followed the voice and looked over, but saw a small boat on the dark river, so light that it seemed weightless, and there were two people standing on the bow, one black and one white, scaring Tian Luo I jumped, and couldn't help muttering: "Oh my mother, who is this, who ran out at night to scare people?"

Hearing this, Yao Yanyu stood up and looked over there, Cuiwei and Cuiping also quickly stood up to protect Yao Yanyu, looking nervous.

"It's still here!" Yao Yanyu looked at the boat approaching and laughed softly.

"Huh? This person looks familiar...it seems to be General Wei!" Tianluo finally saw the person coming, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, waved at him and shouted: "Is it General Wei?"

"You have a good eye!" Tang Xiaoyi, who was dressed in a white robe, laughed and jumped, across the river a few meters away, directly jumped onto the bow of the boat and stood beside Yao Yanyu, but Ignoring Yao Yanyu, he just stared at the grilled fish with bright eyes.

When Yao Yanyi and Xiao Lin heard the movement coming out of the cabin, Wei Zhang had already jumped onto the bow.

After seeing the person coming, Yao Yanyi's face darkened: "General Wei came here uninvited, is there some business?"

Wei Zhang smiled slightly and said, "No, I just passed by occasionally and was attracted by the smell of grilled fish."

Yao Yanyi wanted to say something, but was pulled by Xiao Lin, and said with a smile: "Since General Wei is here, please sit inside."

Wei Zhang glanced at Yao Yanyu and the two fish on the charcoal stove beside her, smiled and shook his head: "No, I'll just sit on the bow of the boat for a while."

Xiao Lin smiled and said, "Miss Yao is grilling fish here, but I don't know if she welcomes the general to sit with her."

"Men and women are different, so naturally they can't sit together." Yao Yan said angrily.

"Ah! The fish seems to be mushy!" Tang Xiaoyi screamed, and frantically turned over the fish.

Yao Yanyu looked at his troubled appearance, and hurriedly said: "Don't move!" Then, she walked over, took the handkerchief and pinched the iron stick that pierced the fish, and turned the fish over.But after all, it was a bit mushy, and the belly of the fish was a little dark, with a hint of burnt smell.

Wei Zhang cupped his hands towards Yao Yanyi, and said with a smile: "Master Yao, I haven't congratulated you yet."

Yao Yanyi is now also a fifth-rank imperial official. Although his official position is only half a rank lower than Wei Zhang, Wei Zhang is a general who controls thousands of elites and is highly valued by the emperor. He can be called the emperor's favorite general and the emperor's close minister.Yao Yanyi is just a dispensable member of the fifth rank who is in charge of landscaping. The status of the two can be said to be worlds apart.

Now Wei Zhang calls him 'Master Yao', and his attitude is correct and gentle, his eyes are also very sincere, and there is no hint of ridicule.In front of Xiao Lin, Yao Yanyi didn't feel well, so he cupped his hands and said flatly, "I dare not. General Wei is too polite."
