The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 241

Chapter 241 Boiled Beef Fillet Boring

Xue Changcheng felt someone was following him again, so he turned around and went to Su's house. Thinking of Yang Siniang who had just entered, he stopped and sighed several times before leaving.

After not seeing each other for a long time, a pair of girls screamed and jumped with joy when they met. They both praised each other for growing taller and more beautiful.

Su Ruojin didn't believe it, "I went to the mountains to grow vegetables and dried them outside every day. How could they be white and tall?"

"Really, Ah Jin, I'm telling the truth." Yang Birong reached out to pinch her juicy face, but she avoided it.

Su Ruojin pulled her to sit down and said, "Come and tell me how you feel about getting engaged soon."

Yang Siniang, who had been smiling just now, her smile faded, and she followed her best friend's wishes and sat down, "Ajin..."

"Huh?" Su Ruojin pulled the chair next to her and sat down, "What's the matter, Ah Rong."

A touch of sadness appeared in the girl's eyes, "It would be great if she never grew up."

"How is that possible?" She also thought she would never grow up? Wouldn't that mean she would become an old goblin? Su Ruojin reached out and touched her shoulder, "Have you encountered something troublesome?"

Yang Siniang lowered her head and pouted her mouth, and she could tell she was unhappy.

"I came back to be your confidant." Su Ruojin patted the little girl gently to comfort her unhappy heart.

"Ah Jin!" Yang Birong suddenly turned around and hugged Su Ruojin, whimpering, "I don't want to get married anymore."

"What's the matter?" Su Ruojin wanted to push the little lady away and ask her what happened, but unfortunately the little girl hugged her tightly and refused to let her look at her tear-filled eyes. She just cried without answering her, and the louder she cried, the louder she cried. , and finally turned into howling.

Su Ruojin reached out and patted her back. Seeing that she was sad, he was not in a hurry and waited for her to vent her good mood.

After half an hour, the little girl was tired of crying and stopped sobbing, "Ajin...Ajin, I want to go home and be a sister-in-law."

"nonsense."

"real."

Su Ruojin pulled the girl away again, but this time, she pulled her away. She stared at the little girl's red and swollen eyes and asked, "Is your cousin treating you badly?"

Yang Siniang lowered her head and pursed her lips, but said nothing.

Silence is the best answer.

Su Ruojin asked, "Why did he treat you badly? Does your mother know?"

When it came to Mrs. Yang, Yang Siniang suddenly became devoid of desires.

Su Ruojin waited quietly for her to talk.

In the silence, the little girl let out a long sigh, "My mother had a quarrel with my father and returned to her parents' home. My mother and I also went back to Zheng Guogong's Mansion to stay for a while. I originally thought that we could have more contact with my cousin to increase our relationship, but I didn't expect..."

Yang Siniang lowered her head again.

Su Ruojin heard the little girl's choked sobs.

"A Rong..." She reached out and hugged the little girl, "If you don't want to get married, I'll go find Mrs. Yang and let's cancel the marriage."

Yang Siniang pushed Su Ruojin away, "This is a marriage arranged by the adults. Even if my cousin likes her mother's cousin, my grandfather and uncle don't agree, and my mother doesn't agree, so he can't marry that cousin."

What? She already has someone she likes, and Su Ruojin doesn't know how to persuade her.

It was normal for a cousin to marry a cousin in ancient times, especially for the sake of mutual sharing of resources and benefits, high-ranking families preferred to marry within a circle. As a modern person, Su Ruojin certainly knew what it meant for a cousin to get married.

But if the Yang family and Zheng Guofu are willing, it is not something that her little neighbor can worry about.

Su Ruojin can actually understand what Mrs. Yang is worried about. For her, marrying her daughter back to her parents' family will eliminate the need for Yang Siniang to enter an unfamiliar environment and make her married life smoother.

But now, hearing what Yang Siniang said, Su Ruojin really couldn't help it, "Before, you said that your cousin didn't like you very much when he was a child. I think that maybe everyone was just a child at that time and didn't understand anything, but now , you know your cousin likes someone else, why don't you tell your mother to cancel the marriage?”

"I..." Yang Siniang is just a young lady, what can she understand: "Grandma, aunt, and mother all said that the love between boys and girls is nothing at all. When getting married, they must be well-matched, and the cousin and her natal family There is no marriage between cousins, and the relationship between them will slowly pass over time. "

Su Ruojin:…

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Yang Siniang raised her eyes, "If I don't marry my cousin, my father will send me to the palace."

What?

Why did each piece of news explode more loudly than the last? Su Ruojin's pupils were shocked and became bigger.

"Is this why you don't want to get married and want to stay home and become a sister-in-law?"

She was obviously only thirteen years old, still an innocent and innocent age, but Su Ruojin noticed that Yang Siniang still had the look of a bright **** her face, and her whole person became lifeless.

If he was really sent to the palace of cannibalism by Master Yang, it would be better to get engaged to his cousin first. At least, that was Mrs. Yang's natal family.

"Ajin, growing up is so boring."

This is the second time the little girl has said this.

Su Ruojin felt vaguely uneasy and held her hand, "I haven't seen Mrs. Yang for so long, and I don't know how our milk tea shop is doing. Come on, let's go ask your mother about the current situation of the shop. "

Probably because she confided her depression to her best friend, Yang Siniang did not act as careless as when she came here, pretending that nothing happened, but stood up in a bad mood, "These days, my mother is busy with my engagement. I don't know if you can ask about the shop even if your feet are not touching the ground.”

Su Ruojin's question about the shop was just an excuse. She just wanted to see Mrs. Yang, to fight for opportunities for Yang Siniang, or something... In fact, she didn't know what she could do for her best friend.

Mr. Yang is now Tongpingzhangshi, that is, the Prime Minister, from a second-rank official to a core figure in the court who holds real power. He is truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

Yang had already changed his family and lived near the imperial city, only one street away from the Jin Palace.

Su Ruojin regretted it when she got off the carriage. She knew that Mr. Yang was promoted, but she really forgot about changing residences.

Seeing her best friend standing motionless at the door, Yang Siniang said, "Actually, my mother and I haven't lived together for a few days."

Su Ruojin turned to look at her.

"My mother felt that my father's official came too...so she took me to live in Zheng Guogong's mansion for more than a month. If grandpa hadn't persuaded my mother, she wouldn't have come back."

Yang Jingzi's officials were so bloody, treacherous, and cruel that everyone in Bianjing City, except for the villains who relied on him, probably lived in fear.

Su Ruojin and Yang Siniang entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is as big as the Prince Jin's Mansion that I have been to before. It is magnificent, with cornices and brackets, pavilions and pavilions, all of which are luxurious and exquisite, which makes people marvel.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang was very busy, but when she saw Mrs. Su coming, she still asked the stewards and maids in the reception hall to go down first.

A thirteen-year-old girl was specially entertained.

"Ah Jin... come and see me." Mrs. Yang saw how friendly she was, and stretched out her hand to pull her to the chair next to her, with a smile on her face.

Su Ruojin saluted first, then sat down properly and said hello with a smile.

Mrs. Yang grabbed the little girl and praised her all over, praising her from head to toe, from her parents to the smile on her lips, which made Su Ruojin blush, "Auntie, if you praise her again, I will have to find a hole in the ground to drill Go in."

"Haha..." Mrs. Yang laughed heartily. The serious face she saw when she came in just now seemed to be an illusion.

Su Ruojin laughed with her.

Laughing all the way to the bottom of her heart, Mrs. Yang stopped laughing and said, "Ah Jin, don't go back tonight, just live in the same room as Ah Rong."

Su Ruojin smiled and said to Yang Siniang beside her, "Arong, I want to drink milk tea. You can make me a cup yourself."

"Okay." Yang Siniang didn't know that her best friend pushed her away.

Mrs. Yang watched her daughter being pushed away with a smile, her eyes fell on Su Erniang, and thought to herself, if I had such a smart daughter, why would I have her to worry about.

The young lady had her own opinion, so Mrs. Yang did not follow her around the bush and asked directly: "Ah Jin, do you have something to tell me?" Su Ruojin went back and forth in her mouth three times before speaking, "Aunt, Ah Rong is simple, maybe she My cousin is not a good match."

"I know."

One sentence blocked Su Ruojin, and for a moment, she didn't know how to continue.

The young lady's questions were all in her eyes, and Mrs. Yang sighed, "It used to be for Ah Rong's good, but now it's even more for Ah Rong's good. Ah Jin, can you understand?"

Although she could understand, she still fought for Ah Rong, "How about someone else?"

"Who?" Mrs. Yang closed her eyes and shook her head, "Marrying my natal nephew has always been a matter of course. It's natural. If I don't marry to Zheng Guogong's house and choose someone else, who else is more noble than the Holy Lord? ”

Yes, who dares to compete with the emperor for women, but even the emperor cannot break up other people's 'childhood sweethearts'.

Su Ruojin:…

silence.

No one spoke.

Finally, Mrs. Yang broke the silence, "It's just an engagement party."

Well?

Su Ruojin's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Auntie, what do you mean..."

Mrs. Yang acted as if she had said nothing just now, "Don't go back tonight, just eat at my house."

Su Ruojin smiled and refused, "I have guests to entertain in the evening, so I won't disturb my aunt. I'll be here early for A Rong's engagement party the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll have someone take you back."

"No...Auntie, you are busy with your business."

Su Ruojin politely refused. Mrs. Yang watched her junior come out of the reception room and looked at her back with a look of silence. Whether he was a junior official or a county magistrate, the life of the Su family always made people feel very happy. .

Why hasn't she met a family-oriented man like Mr. Su?

Su Ruojin drank the milk tea made by Yang Siniang. She vaguely felt that Mrs. Yang had her own plans. She looked at the little girl again. Although she was worried, nothing had happened. She was feeling much better now.

She said: "Ah Rong, just listen to your mother, she won't harm you."

"I know." Yang Siniang said, "So I want to be a girl, so I can only talk about it."

Everyone has his own life, and at every confusing crossroads, you need to make your own choices.

Su Ruojin held her hands and said, "Believe me, everything will be fine."

"Yes." Yang Siniang nodded, "I feel much better after telling you."

That's good.

It was getting late and Su Ruojin went home.

At the door, I was about to see where Uncle Hua was? He saw Zhao Lan's carriage and ran over in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Lan glared at her with dissatisfaction, "I've even accompanied people to their homes, you're really good at it."

Su Ruojin chuckled, leaned close to him, and bumped him deliberately, "Don't be so stingy, Prince Zhao. From now on, if you chat with your friends, I won't watch the time."

Zhao Lan: ...I still need to thank you? I almost reached out and pinched someone's little nose, but I couldn't help it, and deliberately said with a straight face, "Let's go."

Su Ruojin got on his carriage and went home.

Su Dalang and Su Anzhi also returned home, as well as Fan Yanjia, Xue Wulang and Xue Lingchuan whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

"Long time no see, Ah Jin."

"It's been a long time since we last met. Young Master Fan and Wu Lang haven't had dinner, right?"

Xue Lingchuan smiled.

Fan Yanjia was unceremonious, "I heard from Dalang that you have returned to Beijing, and you are waiting for your delicious food!"

You're welcome, Mr. Fan really hasn't changed his true nature as a foodie.

Su Ruojin raised her eyebrows, "Okay, I guess you're right. Brother Jin just happened to bring two kilograms of beef tenderloin over. I'll make a delicious dish for you today - boiled beef tenderloin."

Main ingredient: beef tenderloin, auxiliary ingredients: beans, lotus root slices, lettuce, eggs, etc.

Seasonings: onions, ginger, starch, etc. Of course, the most important one is definitely chili.

First, wash the side dishes, add a little oil to the pot, heat it, add the side dishes and fry until they are cooked, then put them on the bottom of the plate; then stir-fry the dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, etc. over low heat until they are fragrant, and set aside;

Wash the beef, remove tendons, cut into slices, and season with salt, cooking wine, starch, and egg white;

Heat oil in a pot, add garlic cloves, minced onions and ginger, stir-fry until fragrant, add water and bring to a boil, add beef tenderloin and cook, pour on top of the vegetables in the plate, sprinkle with chopped green onions and pour hot oil over them.

After a few swooshes, the aroma filled the entire kitchen.

Several boys, big and small, were all salivating and wandering around the fragrant beef tenderloin.

Mao Ya quickly brought the big soup bowl to the table.

As a boiled beef tenderloin alone was not enough, Su Ruojin made a duck blood vermicelli stew, steamed crabs, cabbage tofu, twice-cooked pork, fungus, radish and squid soup, shrimps and eggs stewed, and cucumbers smashed with garlic.

On a September night, the oil lamp was turned on.

A group of people gathered around a table full of dishes, and everyone couldn't wait to use their chopsticks.

Zhao Lan glanced at the two young men who had followed Su Dalang over to eat. One of them stared at the table with bright eyes. The other smiled shyly and looked away. The first person to move the chopsticks took the first chopstick and brought it to the young lady. On the disc.

"Ah Jin, thank you for your hard work!"

"Thank you, brother Jin." Su Ruojin picked it up and put it in his mouth. The beef was tender and refreshing, with a strong spicy flavor. It was really satisfying. In one word - delicious.

As soon as Fan Yanjia saw Zhao Lan moving his chopsticks, he immediately followed. When he put his chopsticks in his mouth, the taste was really spicy, but the meat was also really tender. The spicy food was wrapped in freshness and tenderness. One bite after another, it was so delicious that he couldn't stop eating it.

"It's delicious." While Fan Yanjia was busy eating, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to give a thumbs up. It was really strange. This dish was obviously available in his mother's restaurant, but it was not as delicious as Ah Jin's.

A table of young people, following the trend, finished off the dishes on the table.

Fan Yanjia stroked his belly and said, "Ajin, why?"

"What why?"

"Why, the food you cook is always more delicious than the chef's?"

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "I won't tell you."

Well, Fan Yanjia just asked casually and didn't mind. After eating and drinking, he looked satisfied and said, "Ajin, you don't know how insecure everyone in the capital has become recently. We don't dare to go out at will in the Imperial College." ”

People are being arrested almost every day, and there seems to be endless people to arrest.

Even the son of the minister felt in danger, but what about the ordinary people in the capital?

Su Ruojin said, "If Brother Jin hadn't prepared these ingredients, we wouldn't be able to eat such delicious dishes today."

Fan Yanjia was smart and quickly said, "Thank you Zijin, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Zhao Lan sneered and said every time, next time, I'll invite you that time!

Fan Yanjia smiled and said, "I promise this time."
