Foster son and husband

Chapter 89 Admitting Mistakes (Part [-])

Cuixi brought two bowls of tea, put them in front of Xu Junying and Mei Niang respectively, and stepped aside.

Two identical white porcelain blue-and-white tureen bowls, Xu Junying watched Mei Niang lift them off, and the bowls contained green tea soup, and he also opened his own tea bowl, but it was amber tea soup, he couldn't help being startled:
"Why not the same tea?"

Mei Niang had a sip of tea in her mouth, and before she could answer, Cui Xi hurriedly replied, "Master Hou drinks black tea, Grandma drinks green tea!"

Xu Junying said: "I don't drink black tea, bring me green tea!"

Mei Niang swallowed her tea and asked, "Why doesn't Lord Hou like black tea, but only green tea?"

Xu Junying glanced at her: "Green tea clears away heat, I always only drink green tea."

Mei Niang covered the tea bowl and said to him: "I asked Cuixi to bring you black tea. Black tea is warm in nature, relieves coldness and warms your stomach. If you don't like it, you can slowly get used to it. Just get used to it. Green tea is cool in nature. , to clear the heat, to..."

She originally wanted to say: With your current gastrointestinal constitution, it is not suitable to drink often.After thinking about it, it might be inappropriate to say this, Xu Junying is not too sensitive, but no one would like to admit that his physique is poor, right?He got so drunk after drinking and drinking tea again and again, he actually looks strong and strong on the outside, but his gastrointestinal condition is worrying on the inside, so I have to remind him to find his old friends Lingxuzi and Zhang Jingyun to check his pulse carefully and check his body. He is not bad-minded and young. Don't break down your body, this can be regarded as taking care of a good person.

Seeing Xu Junying waiting for the next sentence, he continued: "Master Hou spent those years fighting at the border, he ate abnormally, and his temperature was unstable, which hurt his stomach... In fact, black tea is more suitable for you. Green tea should also be drunk, but it is best when you are hungry. Is it good to drink... I don't really understand this. Aren't Hou Ye's friends, Lingxuzi and Zhang Jingyun, good at medicine? When I meet them the next day, ask them to give you a good diagnosis. They will always tell Hou Ye some dietary taboos .”

Xu Junying looked at her: "Lingxuzi and Zhang Jingyun, do you still remember them?"

See what's coming?Seeing Xu Junying's strange expression, Mei Niang lowered her eyes guiltyly.

"I...I have always wanted to ask them to treat my brother!"

Is he blaming himself for stopping that incident and extinguishing her hope?Xu Junying picked up the tea bowl to drink tea: "Isn't your brother well?"

"Thanks to Lord Hou, my sister-in-law invited a famous doctor and healed my brother!"

Xu Junying raised an eyebrow: "You, have you seen your brother and sister-in-law?"

"No! I'm really worried. I asked Cuixi to go back and have a look after the year. Cuixi came back and said!"

She glanced at Cuixi, who gave her a knowing glance and lowered her head.

Xu Junying kept silent, and Mei Niang didn't dare to talk too much, it would be bad if something leaked out.

Silently, probably feeling uncomfortable in the cold, Xu Junying scolded others with a straight face: "What's the matter with your dizziness? It's a good one, and it recovered in a blink of an eye. How dare you take the old lady's medicine to deceive the elders?" !"

Mei Niang's eyes drifted to one side: "I didn't, I didn't dare to lie to the old lady, I just wanted to try the effect of her medicine, it was really good, I'll be fine once I come back!"

Xu Junying snorted: "They are all pills from the palace. I gave the old lady two boxes of pills earlier, and brought back a new box a few days ago. Didn't the little girl give it to you?"

Mei Niang lowered her head: "You mean the medicine that Cheng'er gave me...that, I haven't been sick since I got it, so I didn't take it, I don't know it's the same medicine as the old lady's!"

Instructed Cui Si, who had been standing by her side like a wooden man, "Go get that box of medicine and show Hou Ye!"

"No need!"

Xu Junying was impatient: "If you are sick, you will be treated, and you will lie down at both ends for three days. No matter if you don't go to Jinhuatang, but let the old lady worry about it, what is it? You are..."

He didn't say the words of eldest grandson's daughter-in-law. He paused for a while, jumped over and said, "And those few words that your master and servant said just now, not only are they unruly, they are simply - outrageous! You must remember: Take care of yourself, and take care of the people around you, and then talk nonsense like that..."

Mei Niang admitted her mistake again: "Don't dare! We never say such unruly things, but tonight..."

Cheng'er's crisp voice came from outside the door: "Where are people? Where are they all dead?"

Ping'er then shouted: "Is anyone out of breath? Come out and give me a squeak!"

Lively, innocent, and ostentatious, these are the two little girls that I usually dote on. I like their innocence and straightforwardness. Let's hit the guns together tonight!
Mei Niang bit her lip, and lowered her head to the tea bowl, Cui Xi and Cui Si coincidentally, quickly knelt towards them and blessed them, then ran out quickly, only to hear a knock at the door, Cui Lian ran out from the next door , lowered her voice, Xu Xu didn't know what to say, Cui Xi and Cui Si joined in, and then a little girl gave a soft "ah", probably being pinched.

Xu Junying said: "You don't know how to train a girl, and Mama Wang doesn't seem to be able to do it either. Let's find another capable tutor to lure my mother in tomorrow!"

It took Meiniang a long time to reply: "It's all up to Lord Hou!"

Make up your mind, come and come, see who teaches who, the grandmother in charge is not a vegetarian, find a mistake and send it out, if you dare to complain, it will make you eat and walk around, and it will be inconvenient to walk!
Xu Junying looked at Mei Niang, she was sitting upright, demure and gentle, her eyelids were lowered, and her vivid eyes were covered by thick and slender eyelashes, it was impossible to see what she was thinking from her face.

Cuixi and Cui Lian came in with food boxes, but Cui Si did not see her. She probably went to teach the little girl a lesson. Handing the two little girls to Cui Si was like sending sheep to the tiger's mouth. A few pinch marks are indispensable.

Cuixi said: "Your Majesty and Grandma have eaten dinner too early, you must be hungry, should you order later?"

Mei Niang kept silent, hoping that Xu Junying would say: I'm not hungry.Then he got up, said goodbye and left.

But Xu Junying pointed to the round table and told Cuixi: "Put it over there!"

Cuixi put out steaming, fragrant and attractive dishes and dim sum, including West Lake Vinegar Fish, Yangzhou Lion Head, Kung Pao Chicken, Scallion Lamb, Mapo Tofu, and Vegetarian Stir-Fried Vegetables. Steamed dumplings, two plates of pancakes with different styles, a small casserole of fragrant rice, and finally a brass pot.

Cuixi said, "This is big bone broth."

Meiniang was already hungry, looking at a table of dishes, her eyes were dazzled, she asked Xu Junying uncertainly: "Do you want to eat some, too?"

Xu Junying said "hmm", Cui Lian came over with hot water, and Meiniang said: "Serve the waiter, I'll go inside and wash myself!"

Xu Junying watched Mei Niang walk into the inner room, and asked Cui Lian: "Does your grandma always eat something before going to bed at night?"

Cui Lian replied: "Responding to Master Hou's words: Grandma doesn't often eat at night."

She will not tell Lord Hou: Grandma always eats something like this to sleep after reading the book every night. Mama Cai in the kitchen makes night snacks every night, or stews a soup or steams a dish For snacks, wait for Chenger to get them.

Xu Junying also didn't believe Cui Lian's words, he has always been unwilling to trust the people in Meiniang's room easily, knowing that asking is useless.

Meiniang washed her hands and came out, walked to the table and sat opposite Xu Junying, Cuixi filled a bowl of soup for each of them, Meiniang took a sip, and said with a smile:

"It's delicious! Hurry up and drink it while it's hot!"

Xu Junying said: "Isn't it a waste to cook so many dishes if you can't finish them?"

Mei Niang nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, it's not good to waste it! Cui Xi Cui Lian, divide this soup in half. The waiter is too full for dinner, so I probably won't eat anything, just drink soup. This Tofu, mutton, lion's head, pancakes, balls, take them all away, ask Chenger and the others to eat in the room over there, we don't need to wait here, just come and clear the table later!"

Cuixi peeked at Xu Junying, hesitated, Xu Junying said: "Go, I will talk to your grandma!"

Cui Xi divided half of the big bone soup in a big bowl, and took it to the next room, Cui Lian put the vegetables back into the food box, just picked up the plate of dumplings, Mei Niang said: "Wait, I want a dumpling! "

Cui Lian said: "Grandma likes to eat, so let's keep it!"

Mei Niang smiled and said, "One is fine, I ate one for dinner."

Cui Lian took a ball with chopsticks and put it in her bowl, Mei Niang picked it up and took a bite, Cui Lian looked at it and said happily:
"It's stuffed with red dates! Grandma is going to be lucky!"

Meiniang remembered Xu Xiaomin's words, she quickly shook her head, and said, "This is yours! You brought it to me."

Cui Lian said with a smile: "I just listened to grandma's words, I chose one at random, it's grandma's luck!"

The two argued, and Xu Junying said, "I want one too."

Mei Niang was stunned: "Master Hou, you ate it for dinner, it will make you tired if you eat too much!"

There are only eight dishes in total, and he wants them too, and those people won't be enough for them later.

Xu Junying took the chopsticks by herself: "I didn't eat at dinner, those dishes didn't suit my appetite, I only ate half a bowl of rice."

Mei Niang had no choice but to keep the lion's head, and asked Cui Lian to serve everyone a bowl of rice and a casserole of rice.

Cui Lian picked up the food box and left, the two ate in silence, Meiniang loved spicy food and only ate Kung Pao chicken and vegetarian dishes, Xu Junying only ate lion head and vegetarian dishes, the fish didn't even move, Meiniang took Yu pushed Xu Junying in front of him and said:
"This is delicious, Lord Hou eat more!"

Xu Junying pushed back: "I don't like fish."

Mei Niang pursed her lips and smiled, an idiot who doesn't like fish is usually caught by a fishbone when she was a child, leaving a psychological shadow.

So he chose the fish to eat, and said: "This fish is really good, very delicious, it must be the Qingjiang fish that was caught just today!"

After hearing this, Xu Junying took a chopstick and put it in his mouth to chew, and asked, "Qingjiang? Which river is called Qingjiang?"

Meiniang was busy picking fishbone, and answered casually: "Isn't there a river outside the city called Qingjiang, has the Marquis never heard of it?"

"There are three or four rivers running across the city, but I've never heard of one called Qingjiang!"

Xu Junying still thinks the lion's head is delicious, and it's the first time to eat such a delicious meat dumpling.

Does anyone know which river is called Qingjiang?It's just a nonsense name.Mei Niang continued to deal with the fish, which weighed more than a catty, and she ate half of it. Xu Junying stared at the boneless fish that had been picked clean, and was stunned for a while.

A bowl of soup, a bowl of rice, half a plate of Kung Pao Chicken, half a fish, and half a vegetarian dish, how much can she eat?

In the old lady's room, she only drank two mouthfuls of soup and a few mouthfuls of vegetables before shouting that she was full.

It turned out that it was all an illusion. When I went back to my room, I had someone make good food and soup, and I ate and drank with the door closed.

Xu Junying tapped the empty plate with chopsticks and asked, "Who made this meat dumpling?"

Mei Niang laughed: "This is called Lion's Head! Huaiyang is a famous dish, so I found the recipe and let the kitchen learn how to cook it."

Xu Junying said: "This is not bad, tomorrow I will ask people to make it for old ladies and wives to try!"

"Okay, let's learn how to make it now, and when they master the heat, they can serve it!"

Mei Niang thought to herself that this man is really a filial child, when she eats good food, she thinks of her family members, but unfortunately, those family members may not think of him in everything.

She had eaten many delicious dishes in her previous life. After running Cyclamen, she thought about it slowly, wrote out a dozen or so dishes, and handed them over to the big kitchen of Cyclamen, so that the cooks could figure out how to cook them, because the names of the dishes were unique and elegant. It is interesting, the ingredients are fresh and high-quality, and the chefs cook it carefully. The taste is pure and delicious, and it is very popular among customers. Among them, Yangzhou Lion Head is the most famous. After eating it, many Yangzhou customers chased Lu Xiangfeng and asked: Why is it called Yangzhou Lion Head?Is it from Yangzhou?But they have never seen this dish in restaurants in their hometown!

Mei Niang couldn't explain it, so she just laughed it off, who would look into where this dish appeared in which generation?Anyway, it is called Yangzhou Lion Head!

She brought back a few lion heads from Cyclamen, gave them to Mama Cai, and told her what ingredients to use, Mama Cai learned how to make them, and she made them very well.Let Mama Cai learn to make lion heads, just to let Ning Rulan and Heng'er eat meatballs at any time. Ning Rulan likes to eat meatballs. They improve the taste.

Mei Niang asked Xu Junying: "Didn't Master Hou say you have something to say to me?"

Xu Junying took out a post from the sleeve and handed it to her: "Duke Dingguo's mansion will hold a flower banquet tomorrow, and Duke Ding will personally give the post to me today. You must attend the meeting."

tomorrow?Grandma finally pretended to be sick, coaxed Ning Rulan to make her the director of Ziyun Hall tomorrow morning, and she was just about to sneak out of the house, why did such a stupid thing happen!
Mei Niang supported her forehead: "I'm a little dizzy, I don't know if I'll get up tomorrow!"

Xu Junying said: "Take a pill before going to bed tonight, you will be fine!"

Mei Niang looked at him strangely: "Didn't Master Hou say that I can't accept other people's invitations at will?"

"I'll take you there, and I'll pick you up in the afternoon!"

That is to say, he asked her to go to the flower feast alone, and he didn't participate.

Xu Junying didn't expect that the Dingguo Guild would directly bring the post to the court hall. After leaving the court, they chased after him, stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile: "Our wife said: hand over the post to Weiyuan waiting for you." Now, if Mrs. Weiyuan Hou doesn't arrive, I'll drive a carriage and crash into the mansion to arrest people!"

He was a little helpless, Qin Meiniang, she took the initiative in everything, from her resurrection to now, she has quickly occupied several positions, his original intention of restraining her and hiding her is being, has been changed!
