Foster son and husband

Chapter 93 Pastry
The Flower Fair in Changle Hou Mansion unexpectedly invited King Qi!
This was beyond Mei Niang's expectation. He had attended a flower banquet held by a nobler family such as the Dingguo Mansion. King Qi did not come, but he was willing to accept the post from the Changle Hou Mansion, and he came on time. A large number of guards greeted Xu Junying and met Weiyuanhou Xu Junying's carriage in front of Changlehou's mansion. Meiniang just got off the carriage and stood beside Xu Junying. Changlehou and his wife were going to welcome Weiyuan Waiting husband and wife, seeing King Qi coming, quickly changed direction to meet King Qi first, King Qi got out of the chariot, glanced over, Meiniang was so frightened that her heart beat faster, she lowered her head to hide beside Xu Junying, subconsciously reached out and pulled His sleeves, at this time, I really hope that his clothing material is the kind of elastic and expandable nylon cloth, so that it can be stretched into a set to block her.

Xu Junying turned her head to look at her strangely, and said, "That's His Royal Highness King Qi!"

King Qi and Chang Lehou and his wife had seen the ceremony, and strode forward. Xu Junying led Meiniang to salute him. Meiniang kept her head down so that she could not lower her head too much, mechanically followed Xu Junying's movements, and Qi Wang smiled. He raised his hands and clasped his fists in return, and said to Xu Junying:

"Weiyuanhou, when my arrow wound is cured, let's compete again, how about marksmanship?"

Xu Junying said: "King Qi is brave and famous in Xiguan, he should be better than me!"

"Weiyuan Hou is willing to win or lose? You and the emperor have come to compete with me, and you always drive me to a dead end. You don't stop until you beat me to the ground. Do you know how much I hated you at that time? I still understand you later. Don’t you just want to suppress my temper? Haha! I’m just like this, I can’t change it, but thank you!”

After King Qi finished speaking, he glanced at the timid Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, and walked towards the mansion with her head held high.

Meiniang waited for him to walk away, raised her head, looked at his back and breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to meet Xu Junying's suspicious gaze, and hurriedly lowered her eyes again.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Marquis of Changle, smiled and said to Xu Junying and Mei Niang: "In the entire capital, my family's peony blooms the best. His Royal Highness Qi Wang was ordered by the Queen Mother to pick a few pots and send them to Puning Temple for raising!"

Watching Changle Hou Fang Haining and Xu Junying go to the front, Wang whispered to Mei Niang again: "You pay attention to the female relatives who came today, except for those of us who are married, there are many young girls who are fine Please choose carefully before submitting the post, my Lord Marquis has obeyed the orders of the emperor and the queen mother, and everything will go with the flow—in fact, the flower banquets of the previous houses have also been arranged, but King Qi refused to go, so he came today I'm at home, just watch and see which lady gets into his eyes!"

Mei Niang said: "Isn't it enough for the royal family to marry a daughter-in-law?"

Wang said with a smile: "It depends on who it is. King Qi has such a temper. He has said before: Without his consent to give him a marriage, the bride is not allowed to enter the palace. She will only be carried outside the city to sacrifice to the river god!"

Mei Niang laughed: "This King Qi...is really different!"

No matter how weird, mysterious and different King Qi is in the rumors, it will not affect the admiration and admiration of noble ladies for him. When he appears in Fangfu Peony Garden, it is like the sun attracting sunflowers. Turning their faces towards him, especially the girls, they will never take a step back if they can take a step forward. The detached beauty and charming demeanor of King Qi make them obsessed, even if King Qi takes them to The abyss seems to agree.

Meiniang and Mrs. Changlehou leaned leisurely on the second-floor pavilion, under the cover of a clump of evergreen osmanthus trees, watching Qi Wang standing among the flowers, picking out peonies like a general, just pointing at random, the guards The ones brought out are all rare and precious varieties, with long flowering period, pure color and full plump flowers. The venomous eyes made Chang Lehou very depressed:
"I tried my best to hide it! It took me so much effort to get the best pots, this King Qi is really good!"

Mei Niang smiled, not knowing what to say to comfort her.King Qi picked out the peony flowers, chatted with Chang Lehou, Xu Junying and others, and then left.On the flower path he passed, the girls wished they could see each other off, and their fiery eyes shot at him like sharp arrows, but the king of Qi was not a gentleman, he swaggered, his eyes were flying, and the beauties and beauties looked at him, walking non-stop, with a smile on his face. He also had a charming faint smile, and as his handsome figure disappeared behind the flower tree, the eyes of the girls instantly became hollow and dry, without spirituality, and Meiniang seemed to see all On the corridor that Wang walked through, Huai Chunxin, a pink girl, fell to the ground, each one of them was so pitiful and weak that they were all shattered.

Mrs. Changle Hou is very meticulous. She is from Suzhou and Hangzhou. She can make a variety of exquisite pastries with hometown characteristics. In addition to serving them at the banquet, she also prepared a copy for guests with elderly and children to take home, which is more important. The guests gave one more, and Mei Niang also got two. She was very happy. She tasted two pieces at the banquet, and she felt that it was soft and smooth, sweet but not greasy, and the taste was very good.On the way home, Mei Niang gave Cuixi and Cuisi two pieces each to taste in the car, and took the rest back and divided them into several portions. The old lady and the wife wanted to give it, and also gave it to Mama Wang and the others. I never thought about giving it to Henger. In the previous life, my mother said that when a child is teething, it is best to eat less sweets.

Unexpectedly, after getting off the car at the waiting mansion, Xu Junying asked Baoju and Cuixi to take away the two boxes of pastries, and said, "Go back to your room first, I'll go see the old lady, and send a box of pastries to the wife by the way!"

Mei Niang sees that Wang Mama and the others are gone, she is completely unwilling in her heart, but she is not good at arguing with him on this point, she can only look at his back and complain: Can it be so good?Do filial sons and virtuous grandchildren get rewarded?The old lady just ignores it, so many grandchildren, no matter whether she really loves you, dear grandmother, if you can be filial, just be filial.Then Mrs. Zheng, she is obviously cheating you there, and she is still a filial mother, raising you from the age of three, is it amazing?And you don't need her to hug and feed you, say a few nice words to you, and trust her with a warm smile?Stupid kids are justifiable, at this age, and there is something like the old seven, it's too wrong to not be enlightened!
Meiniang frowned as she thought about it all the way: it was his heart, his bones were broken, Mrs. Zheng took care of his childhood, and she did her best to please the old waiter.What memories can a three-year-old have?I don't remember my biological mother for a long time, and I have some feelings for Mrs. Zheng. Mrs. Zheng gave birth to his sister Xu Xiaojuan and Lao Qi, not for anything else, but for the reputation of Heng Er and Lao Qi. She will definitely keep the secret and will not tear it up with him. Broken face, this is probably the reason why he can keep these people to live freely.

Meiniang stretched out her hand and gently rubbed the center of her eyebrows: "My life is in his hands. Although I am not afraid of him now, if he uses extraordinary means to take her life, it is not impossible. Who would suspect that he killed himself?" wife?She is active in the eyes of the public, but at the same time she also sent out such a message to people: Weiyuanhou and his wife are an enviable loving couple!

Now I feel a little clever but being mistaken by cleverness.

When Xu Junying came back from Jinhuatang, she brought back a plate of pastries for Meiniang. Meiniang put it on the table in amazement and looked at it again and again, but she didn't dare to move. She was not hungry either. She was full, and for dinner, Ms. Wang arranged for her hot rice porridge with crispy, spicy and fragrant pickles. It was very comfortable to eat.She taught Mama Cai to make the pickled pickles. She got tired of eating big fish and meat during the Chinese New Year. She took them out for seasoning. The people in Xu Mansion loved them so much that she taught Cyclamen to wash and choose vegetables. The aunts made some and wrote it in the recipe In terms of food, the price is not lower than that of fish, and it is also very popular among customers.

Xu Junying said: "Cousin Lan has nothing to do today, and she also made pancakes from her hometown. The old lady asked you to try some. How does it compare to Mrs. Changle Hou's craftsmanship?"

Zhuang Yulan, do you want to be compared with Madam Changle Hou?

Mei Niang smiled: "Master Hou, Mrs. Hou of Changle would not make so many pastries by herself, they are all made by the servants in the mansion. Cousin Lan's craftsmanship is not comparable to them!"

Xu Junying heard the meaning of Mei Niang's words, and said: "It's just to taste the taste of cakes. Tomorrow, the old lady will ask you, and she will know how to answer."

Mei Niang picked up a pancake, broke it open, and said with a smile: "The red lotus pie made by Jiangmi is soft, glutinous and sweet, and it is delicious and delicious when eaten warm. It is especially suitable for the taste of the elderly... Will the old lady be happy?"

Xu Junying looked at her: "If you don't like it, give it to Mother Wang Cuixi!"

After finishing speaking, she wanted to go back to the east courtyard, Mei Niang got up and walked to the door, Xu Junying stopped her head and said, "Take a break, now there is cousin Yu in the wife's room to help, you don't have to go to see Heng'er every day, get up early, You should wait in the old lady's room first!"

"Your Majesty, I will get up early tomorrow and go to Jinhua Hall!"

Mei Niang said so in response, but she thought in her heart: go, go, it's not up to you to do anything yourself, girls like Ruixue Ruiyu can do it, and Bai Jingyu, Fang's, Gan's, and Zhuang Yulan's marriage is tentatively decided. Don't worry, I'm also scrambling to do my job, Zheng Meiyu's sycophant will come sometimes, so I don't bother to join in the fun with them. As the eldest grandma, she only needs to put on a show and go there for a formality, that's all. .

Xu Junying seemed to see her heart, and said: "The elder is old, she is Heng'er's great-grandmother, she likes you by her side, she must serve you attentively, so as not to make you feel regretful in the future!"

Mei Niang watched Xu Junying lift the curtain to go out, pursed her lips, and narrowed her eyes: Do you have any regrets?No wonder!

I heard Mrs. Zheng say something about the old marquis. The old marquis is a loyal, pure and filial person, who respects and filially the old lady very much. After middle age, he even follows the old lady's words as an imperial decree.Xu Junying dared to defy the old lady, and married Qin Meiniang on his own initiative. At first, he thought that he had a bit of personality, but now he is living more and more like his father. Maybe after a few years, he will be even more stupid and filial. , without the old lady, would he confess Mrs. Zheng?There is also the second master and the second wife. They have sons and daughters, so they don't need him. I guess he will rush to express his filial piety...

Meiniang made fun of Xu Junying in her heart, picked up the plate of Zhuang Yulan's snacks on the table, and said to Cuixi:
"Here, feed the fish in the pond, let the fish taste the handicraft of their future grandma!"
