The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 275

Chapter 275 Bamboo tube rice escape

Shuangrui came to pull him over, but the young lady clung to Su Ruojin tightly.

Zhong Wanhui is different from normal people. Su Ruojin signaled Shuangrui to stop pulling. It was almost evening, "Brother Jin, we will see you when you are free."

Zhao Lan:…

As the envoy of the Imperial City Department, Zhao Lan knew the situation of all the aristocratic families in the capital, so he also knew about Zhong Wanhui's low intelligence, so he ignored it and let Ah Jin go back first.

At the door, Su Yanli and his son were chatting with Su Yanzu. When they saw their mothers coming out, they stopped chatting.

 “Azhen…”

Su Yanli and his wife stood together.

Su Yanzu came over to salute, "Sister-in-law—"

 Cheng Yingzhen nodded and returned the greeting, "Second uncle."

The elder brother's family is sent to serve as officials and it is rare for them to return to Beijing. Su Yanzu invites his elder brother's family to visit the Prince Consort's Mansion tomorrow.

Su Yanli waved his hand and said, "Azu, the summer harvest has just ended and we will start planting soon. We will go when we have time."

 “Then…” Su Yanzu asked his nephew and niece to go over and play.

Su Yanli looked at his eldest daughter.

Su Ruojin looked at Zhong Wanhui next to her. She wanted to follow him wherever he went. She was really not in a hurry to return to Weizhou, so she nodded in agreement, "Father, mother, you go back and do your work first. I will go back in two days."

Su Sanlang and Su Silang also want to stay with Sister A. "At the banquet just now, we made an appointment with Brother Ning Qi to go horse racing at his house."

 Going to Ning's house? Now Su Ruojin is nervous when she hears about the Ning family. She will ask Ning Ning to take her niece back later. When her brother goes to the Ning family, she will not go.

Princess Yuehua came out, and the Su family came forward to salute. Princess Yuehua subconsciously touched her belly and was noticed by Su Ruojin. She looked at his brother-in-law and saw that the princess was pregnant.

The eldest niece's eyes were so surprised that Su Yanzu felt uncomfortable. In front of his brother's family, even if the princess motioned for him to help him, he pretended not to notice and kept a serious look on his face.

Yuehua's outstretched hand was caught by the girl with sharp eyes and quick hands. She glanced at the man from the corner of her eye and nodded slightly to Su Yanli's family as a greeting. After getting on the carriage, the girl lifted the curtain and said politely, "Mr. Su. , Mrs. Su will bring the children to have a light meal tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Yanli stepped forward, "I have told Azu just now that the summer planting has started and the county is busy. We and I will go back tomorrow, and A Jin will take his younger brothers and sisters to trouble Your Highness."

"You're welcome, sir." Yuehua looked at Su Ruojin, "Jin will come over early tomorrow to talk to me."

 “Yes, Your Highness.”

Yuehua smiled.

Su Yanzu said goodbye to his brother and his family, got into the princess carriage, and disappeared from the sight of the Su family.

Su Yanli also left with his family.

Su Ruojin said: "Dad, I have to wait for Ning Baniang or Mrs. Zhong. Mrs. Zhong is still behind me."

Su Yanli frowned, "Whether it's Ning Baniang or Mrs. Zhong, they have already left." He stood at the door waiting for his wife and daughter, and saw that these people had already left.

"What?" Su Ruojin's eyes widened in shock, and with this operation, isn't it said that in ancient times, rich ladies had notes when they went out to be guests, and all the procedures were very cumbersome? Just throw someone to her like this?

Su Ruojin has the desire to kill someone.

 Cheng Yingzhen panicked: "Official..."

The Zhong family wanted to get married. Last time they came to the capital in March, Su Yanli had heard about it from his daughter and wife. He said, "I thought the Zhong Ning family had reached an agreement with A Jin."

 What are you talking about?

Su Ruojin felt angry, but she couldn't take her anger out on a little girl with low intelligence.

It's really…

 “Ah Jin, what should I do?” Cheng Yingzhen subconsciously blocked the eldest son's gaze, preventing him from looking at Zhong Wanhui.

Su Ruojin noticed her mother's little movements, and then looked at Zhong Wanhui. She was like a child who had done something wrong, hiding behind her, lowering her head and digging her hands, not looking at anyone at all, including Su Dalang.

 She knows this little lady's little thoughts.

 Her little thoughts…

 The angry Su Ruojin suddenly stopped being angry.

Since Zhong Ning's family has such small thoughts, she doesn't care about these small thoughts. The adults are laissez-faire and the little lady is persistent. It doesn't matter what her business is.

 Having figured it out, she was not angry, "Dad, let's go home."

Su Yanli doesn't want to leave, “Would you like to send the young lady back to the Minister's Mansion or the Ningguo Duke's Mansion?”

"No." Su Ruojin snorted, "Let's go home." As long as it's not his eldest brother, she doesn't care.

There are four servants who have been following Zhong Wanhui, an older girl and an elderly nun. They take care of Zhong Wanhui's daily life, and there are two guards who guard the door of the Su family's house.

As if knowing that Su Ruojin would not drive her away, not only did she have dinner, she also ate a lot. Not only that, the Su family also arranged for Zhong Wanhui to sleep in the guest room, and she did not refuse and went to sleep obediently.

Su family:…

 Cheng Yingzhen: "Ajin, are you going to follow our family all the time?"

Su Ruojin answered affirmatively, "No."

“But look at how well-behaved this child is in our house. He eats as he is told and sleeps wherever he is told. He is just like a…” child bride.

Su Ruojin put her arms around her mother and whispered something in her ear, which made Cheng Yingzhen jump in surprise, "What, really?"

"Absolutely." Su Ruojin said, "Normally, I can't get it wrong."

“But...but this child's intelligence is about the same as that of my little sister, so...”

“Mom, her intelligence is not growing anymore, but a person's body grows as it ages.”

 Cheng Yingzhen: ...for a while, I really couldn't digest what my daughter said.

 “Then it doesn't matter, your brother?”

Su Ruojin nodded, "With this young lady's persistence, my brother is safe for the time being."

Tomorrow I will be a guest at my uncle's house, and the day after tomorrow Saburo and Silang will go to Ning Mansion. She will go with them and send them back. If the Zhong Ning family still allows Mrs. Zhong to cling to her, then don't blame her for being rude. When the time comes, I will send people directly...

The next day, Zhao Lan came over early in the morning and happened to meet Su Yanzu and his wife returning to Weizhou. Because Mrs. Zhong was clinging to her eldest daughter, Cheng Yingzhen took Su Xiaomei back to Weizhou.

“Teacher, are you coming back now?”

Su Yanli told the story about busy farming again. This time he didn't even go to Fan Shangshu's side. He concentrated on farming, "The summer planting is over, and there are still canals to be repaired. Anyway, I don't have a moment to spare, so I will go back first." Yes, Zijin will go to Weizhou to play if she has time."

 “Okay, teacher.”

 Zhao Lan sent Su Yanli and his family out of the city gate and went directly to Fuma Mansion to meet A Jin.

Su Yanzu and Princess Yuehua got married in March, and found out they were pregnant in May. It has been more than a month now, and it is the time when the morning sickness was the worst in the first three months. They vomited whatever they ate. This was also the case when I went to the Jin Palace yesterday and did not meet the Su family mother and daughter. The reason for the meeting was that I vomited in the room and didn't want to move.

Probably Princess Yuehua would not invite her siblings over to play unless she was invited by her uncle.

Su Ruojin gave his uncle a disgusted look, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come."

Su Yanzu smiled awkwardly, "Ajin, do you... have any delicious food that can make His Highness take a few bites?"

 So this is the purpose of inviting her here!

I really didn't realize that he was very kind to his wife! That's not right. They took the same care of Shangguanyu in the past, so the Su brothers all love and protect their wives.

Alright, for this reason, Su Ruojin asked Su Yanzu, "What does your highness, the princess, usually eat?"

Su Yanzu called the girls around the princess over and told them to feed Su Ruojin one by one.

The cooks around the princess have basically tried ordinary light meals. Even if Su Ruojin didn't expect it, the cooks around the princess have also tried it.

Then what else?

“Your Highness, there's nothing you want to eat?”

 The big girl shook her head.

 “Ah Jin?” Su Yanzu couldn't help but feel depressed when he saw that his niece, who was good at gourmet food, couldn't do anything.

Su Sanlang and Su Silang were both of an age with a rounded buttocks. They had already gone outside to play in the corridor. Su Ruojin was worried, so she left the hall and stood in the corridor.

Su Sanlang and Su Silang ran to the corridor to break bamboo branches and fight with them.

Su Ruojin saw that they were having a good time and turned around. Just when he was about to tell his uncle to try making Liangpi, his eyes flashed across the green bamboo forest, and there he was, let's try making fragrant bamboo tube rice.

 “Brother-in-law—”

Su Yanzu saw a happy look on his niece's face and asked, "Ajin, what's wrong?"

 “I'm thinking of making something for the princess to eat.”

Su Yanzu's eyes lit up, “What?”

“Brother-in-law, chop down two of the thickest bamboos in the yard.”

Su Yanzu is an elegant scholar. Of course he has eaten rice made from bamboo tubes. He instantly understood what his eldest niece was going to do. Yes, why didn't he expect that the bamboo rice was so fragrant that His Highness would definitely be able to take a few bites.

Su Ruojin didn't give up on the Liangpi she originally prepared. Anyway, if she made a few more, there would definitely be one that the princess would like.

She made three things. One was bamboo tube rice. Different places have different ways of making bamboo tube rice. Su Ruojin chose the conventional way to make it for pregnant women.

●Use bacon, peas, fragrant rhubarb, chopped radish, etc. to stir-fry in a pot to get the flavor, then mix them with japonica rice and put them in a bottomed bamboo joint, add water and steam them in a steamer.

 The second one is Liangpi, which is the best way to relieve the heat in midsummer. The most important thing is that now there are chili peppers, which can completely replicate the taste of later generations.

Wash the noodles, steam the noodles, cut the side dishes, mix the sauce, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic paste, chili oil and other toppings and pour them on the cut cold skin. You can smell the chili oil when you stand outside the kitchen. The pungent smell stimulates the taste buds and secretes saliva continuously, just one word - I want to eat. The third is rice porridge. Nothing is added, just white porridge. Su Ruojin asked people to go home and eat the porridge with vegetables, such as pickles, kimchi, salted duck eggs, preserved eggs, salty, sour, hot and sour, all kinds of flavors. , as long as you can think of the main products, we have them.

The rice in the bamboo tube was fragrant. Su Yanzu felt that the princess could take a few bites, "This cold skin is spicy..."

“Let's try it first. Your Highness won't eat it, so why don't you, my uncle, still have you?”

    is also correct.

Su Yanzu then asked the maid to carry the food box and go to the princess's place to eat.

Su Ruojin sighed, "Let's go, let's go eat too."

Su Sanlang cheered, "Sister, brother Jin has returned to the princess's mansion to see his father off."

Su Ruojin brought three little tails to the wing hall. Zhao Lan came back on horseback. It was half June and it was so hot that he was sweating all over. He had just taken a shower and smelled the fragrance.

 “Ah Jin, what is it?”

 “Brother Jin, this is bamboo tube rice.”

 In the summer, just hearing the bamboo makes her feel cool, which makes Zhao Lan happy.

A few people sat around the table. Su Ruojin brought a bamboo tube to each person and a bowl of cold skin for each person, "Let's all have a taste."

 “Thank you, sister, for your hard work.”

Su Sanlang is rough but subtle, and his small mouth is quite sweet. He stole Zhao Lan's lines.

 Zhao Lan: ...Then I can only give Ah Jin a big smile.

 “Eat, eat, eat everyone, how can you be so polite.”

　A few people picked up their chopsticks and lowered their heads to eat.

In the princess room, the person who had vomited the moonlight was exhausted and leaned on the couch. There was a wooden fan blowing on the ice water in the room. It was not hot at all, but she had no desire to eat, and she was losing weight visibly.

 “Jingshu—the rice is here, and Ajin cooked it herself.”

 Princess Yuehua's maiden name is Jingshu.

Hearing Su Yanzu's gentle and carefree voice, he was obviously angry yesterday and wanted to make him feel embarrassed, but he couldn't help but look up at her, "You asked your niece to come here just to cook for me?"

 Half of it was to cook, and half of it was to miss her niece and the others. But at this moment, when facing the princess's inquiry, Su Yanzu of course showed that he was all for her.

 “What if?”

The angry Yuehua finally subsided and said, "You have a conscience."

 “Come and eat.”

Su Yanzu came over to help her and helped her to the table.

The mother-in-law opened the lid of the food box, and the fragrance of the bamboo rice instantly wafted into Yuehua's nose, instantly giving her an appetite.

 “What a dexterous Ah Jin.”

"Of course." Su Yanzu said proudly.

Yuehua made him angry.

Su Yanzu handed her the spoon. Yuehua took a spoonful and put it gently into her mouth to chew. The light fragrance of the bamboo tube, the sweetness of the rice, the salty fragrance of the bacon cubes, the sweetness of the beans, and the juice of the radish, all The taste filled her mouth and she couldn't help but swallow it.

 After swallowing it, she waited cautiously for fear of nausea.

 She didn't feel anything at all. She was delighted and said, "Shaobai, I didn't vomit."

 “Then take a few more bites.”

"Okay." Princess Yuehua took one bite after another. After eating nearly a third of the tube, she suddenly felt unwell.

Su Yanzu quickly scooped a spoonful of white porridge to her and said, "Squeeze it."

Yuehua took a big sip of the warm rice porridge from Su Yanzu's hand, and her stomach immediately settled down.

 Eh?

 “Shao Bai, it works.”

Su Yanzu scooped another spoonful for him, and then gave her a piece of refreshing pickled cucumber. "I tasted it just now. It's sour and quite appetizing. You can try it."

I don't know whether it was due to the filter of Su Ruojin's delicious food or because her loved ones fed her, but Yuehua felt that her appetite was surprisingly good today. She actually ate a lot of white porridge with the fragrant and salty bamboo tube rice.

“I've always known that Lan'er likes Ah Jin's food, but I didn't expect that even white porridge is so delicious.”

Su Yanzu:…

White porridge with pickled pickled cucumbers. On a hot summer day, he drank two small bowls, ate a bamboo tube rice, and drank a bowl of cold skin.

 He also ate a lot today.

“While Ah Jin is cooking, the cooks in our house are standing nearby. You should learn how to cook it. From now on, I will ask them to cook it for you every day.”

"good."

Yuehua looked at the gentle and considerate man and sighed secretly as she was the one she had chosen originally. She had waited for so many years and finally waited until today.

In the afternoon, the weather was too hot and she couldn't go back immediately. Su Ruojin went to the kitchen to make ice cream for Zhao Lan and her two younger brothers. Who knows that the princess's house has abundant ingredients.

Su Yanzu asked, “Can pregnant women eat it?”

Su Ruojin shook his head, "No."

 “Then…” Su Yanzu was embarrassed to let his niece bother.

Su Ruojin arrived and made a dessert for Princess Yuehua. She took out a frozen apricot in sugar water from the ice bucket. She saw that the apricot had been peeled and cooked, and had been chilled with ice water. It was sweet and sour, especially suitable for pregnant women.

If she had sterilization technology, she could make it into cans and sell it. Unfortunately, without sterilization technology, she could only make it and eat it now, and she could only call it sugared apricots instead of canned apricots.

 “Thank you Ajin.”

Su Yanzu hurriedly brought the sugared apricots to Princess Yuehua like a treasure. For the princess's house, this sugared apricots was really ordinary, but Princess Yuehua admitted, "What Ajin makes is different from what the cook makes. It feels so refreshing and refreshing after eating it, it's quite comfortable.”

Who would cook and eat fresh, good apricots? Only fruit farmers are afraid that they won't be able to sell the fruit, which is cooked and dried to become preserved fruit. Most people rarely use it to boil sugar water, and it doesn't relieve coughs like pears.

It wasn't until the evening, when the weather got cooler, that Zhao Lan took the Su family siblings home.

Su Yanzu and his wife wanted to keep them, but Zhao Lan refused, "Uncle, I can't bear to let Ah Jin be your cook."

Su Yanzu: ...He didn't mean that!

Zhao Lan gave him a look of understanding, took the Su Ruojin siblings and a follower to his restaurant for dinner, and then sent them home, and then he stayed by the way.

 Without his teacher or his wife, he thought he could get along with Ah Jin alone? As a result, the future brother-in-law came back from the Imperial College and invited them all to the study room. He did not go back to the room to rest until everyone was sleepy.

Zhao Lan just wanted to secretly make an appointment with the young lady, but found that she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She was either on the way to make delicious food or on the way home from visiting guests all day long. She was really tired from running around and working hard.

 Zhao Lan, who can feel sorry for others, is still willing to be clingy.

 Wash up and go to sleep!

On the second day, Zhao Lan took a few people to visit Ning Guogong Mansion. This was an appointment made by Ning Qilang and the two brothers of the Su family. They went to the Ning family racecourse. In the summer, the sun was shining brightly, so these boys were not afraid. , and actually rode for nearly an hour.

Su Ruojin took a deep breath, this is not going to make her skin peel off!

Ning Baniang smiled and said, "It's okay, it's Chenshi (seven to nine in the morning) and it's not the time when the sun shines the brightest."

What is June day? It is the hottest time of the year. Even at eight or nine in the morning, it is still very hot, okay?

Su Ruojin fanned the wind with her hand, and in the corner of her eye, Zhong Wanhui never left her side.

She tapped her fingers secretly, trying to find a way to keep the person behind.

 After nine o'clock, these young men and women finally couldn't stand the scorching sun and rested. They all went to take a bath, changed their clothes and went out to have lunch.

 After dinner, some played chess and some boasted.

Su Ruojin pretended to have a bad stomach, holding her stomach to go to the toilet.

Ning Ning and Zhong Wanhui accompanied her.

 Grandma's legs are so inseparable!

It's just that!

 With Zhao Lan here, what else can't be solved?

Su Ruojin was listening to the noise outside in the bride's room. She felt that there was no movement outside. She gently opened the door of the bride's room. Mao Ya and Ye Huaizhen each supported a little lady. They were drugged, but this drug only lasted a little. It will be timely.

 She put on the girl's clothes and left Ningning's courtyard calmly.

 Half an hour later, an inconspicuous carriage left at the gate of Ning Mansion.

Santai sat in the carriage and said, "Second lady, let's leave the city now."

"good."

 Grandma is a legless person and finally got rid of it.

When Ning Ning and Zhong Wanhui woke up, Mao Ya and Ye Huaizhen were still guarding the door. Their maid came in with tea, "Ning Niang, Hui Niang."

Ning Ning felt something was wrong, "What was I going to do just now?"
