Chapter 50 Hot and Sour Noodles

Having been starving for the past few days, Xu Zhenying didn't pay much attention to Miss Qian. She just thought she was walking behind the team. In addition, she was half of the big family, so she didn't pay much attention to her.

Looking at her now, I wonder if it is because she has found a friend. Miss Qian seems to be much more energetic than she did when we first met her that day.

Xu Zhenying wanted to walk away, but overheard the two chatting.

She heard Mrs. Cao say to Miss Qian: "You are still thinking differently. Anyway, you will be a member of the Xu family sooner or later, so why care about these extraneous things? Simply give all the money to your future mother-in-law, and find a virtuous beauty." Name. For your fiancé, you have to serve tea and water from time to time. He has to be diligent and has an eye for work. As long as you serve him well and your mother-in-law well, you are still afraid that they will not welcome you in. ?”

Miss Qian's face said with shame: "But I haven't even gone through the door yet. I'm so busy here. I'm afraid others will say that I..."

"Isn't it only a matter of time before we get married?" Mrs. Cao took Miss Qian's hand and said affectionately, "Look at me, my family is the lowest merchant, and it was only by God's fate that I married my husband-in-law. Before my husband-in-law became a scholar, I did his laundry in the winter, fanned him in the summer, paid for his dowry to study and take exams, and helped Zhang Luo marry concubines and have children. People laughed at me at first and said I couldn't lay eggs. Hen, but now that my son is in my hands and I take good care of my aunt, who in the whole family will not praise me for being virtuous and virtuous? So, this woman has to be willing to sacrifice, and she must please her mother-in-law and her husband. This woman's heart is full of flesh. Over time, they will naturally accept you."

"But...Sister Cao, didn't you say two days ago that Li Xiucai would beat you?"

Mrs. Cao was a little unhappy, and subconsciously touched the bruised face, "Why don't the couple live their lives without bumping into each other? Which country woman dares to pat her chest and say that her man has never touched her?" Fingers? My husband-in-law is very good to me. Even if he hits me, it must be because I did something wrong——"

Miss Qian has no friends around her, and no one has taught her about husband-wife principles. When she heard Mrs. Cao’s words, she immediately became a confidant. She held Mrs. Cao’s hand affectionately and said, “Thank you, Sister Cao, for teaching me——”

"Sister, you also have a hard life. Your parents died early and you were dependent on others since you were young. No one has taught you these principles. If you don't mind, treat me as half your sister. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me. ——”

Xu Zhenying listened to it for a few times and felt his scalp numb.

I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for this young lady from the Qian family to hang out with Mrs. Cao all day long.

But it's not her turn to care.

After delivering the clothes, Xu Zhenying went to the second floor of the inn and looked for Fang Ruyu's room, but was stopped by Fang Ningmo, the second lady of the Fang family, "Sister Xu, my sister is asleep. It's not convenient to see guests at the moment."

Seeing that the lights were still on in the room, Xu Zhenying knew that Fang Ruyu was probably still angry and didn't want to see her.

"Sister, what happened yesterday happened for a reason. I didn't mean to quarrel with your sister. I will apologize to you in detail when I get the opportunity in the future. There are only a dozen girls of similar age in our exile team, and I still hope that we can support you all the way. If you take this gadget to relieve your boredom, consider it as my apology."

Xu Zhenying handed the thing over, and Fang Ningmo took a look and saw that it was actually a cricket woven from grass, which was vivid and full of air.

After all, she is a little girl who is easy to coax. After a few words, Fang Ningmo softened her expression and said, "I know, I will persuade my sister."

Fang Ningmo took the two crickets into the house, only to see Fang Ruyu lying under the soybean oil lamp writing a letter.

Fang Ruyu frowned when she saw what Fang Ningmo was holding in her hand, "It's from Xu Qingying, right? She was so angry at me yesterday, and she wants to get rid of me with this worthless thing today? Throw it away quickly - —”

Fang Ningmo put the cricket in the corner and said with a smile: "Although it is not valuable, it is still interesting. It looks vivid. Sister, please don't be angry. The sixth girl of the Xu family said that she did it for a reason. Yesterday was not intentional. I have to argue with my sister.”

"What's the reason? She gets angry when things happen for a reason, throwing glasses and breaking glasses? Thanks to my good intentions, she actually scolded me for being a teacher..." Fang Ruyu felt angry when she said it, and simply pushed away the pen, and Fang Ningmo stopped arguing with her. , only leaned over to read, "Have you written to the Second Master again?"

Fang Ruyu raised her hand to cover the letter and looked up at her sister, "Why, do you think I'm wishful thinking just like my grandmother?"

Fang Ningmo sighed slightly and thought about it for a long time, "Sister, I don't know either. The second master and the sisters in our family have grown up together. I remember when he was young, he would ask me to pick locust flowers to eat... thinking that with two Family bond, even if our family is not what it used to be, he probably won't do anything to add insult to injury. But sister..."

Fang Ningmo hesitated to speak. At a young age, she didn't know how to speak to make her sister not sad.

Fang Ruyu calmed down and took her hand, "What can't be said between you and me, sisters? If you don't tell me the truth, how can anyone in this world treat me sincerely?"

Fang Ningmo lowered his head, then raised his head again, "In that case, I will tell the truth. It's not that I can't trust the second master. Of course I hope that my sister can achieve what she wants. This will be good for her and the entire Fang family. But... The storybooks or playbooks we have read before were mostly filled with heartless men. We have never seen a girl who has been an idiot and spent many years cultivating herself. When the love is strong, it is natural to make an oath, but once something goes wrong, the old oath can be thrown away, even on the pillow. People's lives can be thrown away... It can be seen from this that there are many heartless people in this world and few infatuated people... I just hope that my sister will not think too much about everything. If you can't achieve what you want, you will be hurt..."

Fang Ningmo tried her best to speak tactfully, for fear that with Fang Ruyu's sensitive and thoughtful temperament, the purpose of persuasion would not be achieved, but would instead make her get more into trouble.

Who would have thought that Fang Ruyu actually laughed when she heard this, and scraped Fang Ningmo's nose affectionately, "You little girl, why are you so pessimistic about things? At such a young age, you talk and act almost like an old lady in a Taoist temple. .”

Fang Ningmo was teased by her sister and touched her head in embarrassment.

"I believe that the second master is not such a person." Fang Ruyu rarely opened her heart to her sister. Thinking of the past, she couldn't help but smile, "You also know that because of the identity of the second master's biological mother, he was not favored by the late emperor since he was a child. I remember studying when I was a child. At that time, it was so cold that his fingers were covered with pus from the cold, but he still insisted on getting up at five o'clock every day. I once asked him, since he was already a prince and did not need to obtain fame, why did he have to make it so difficult for himself? He said He wants to prove to the late emperor that even if he is the daughter of a palace girl, he is no worse than the other brothers. This shows that he is a person with a tough character and will not give up easily."

Such people are more terrifying than playboys.

Fang Ningmo had completely different thoughts in her mind.

Fang Ruyu blushed slightly and said: "Before he went to Qiongzhou, I proposed to get married as soon as possible and go on the road together. But he told me that Qiongzhou is a bitter and cold place, and he was reluctant to leave me far away from Bianjing and my hometown. He told me not to wait for him, saying ...said...if things change, maybe my grandfather will choose a better marriage for me."

Fang Ningmo was shocked and took Fang Ruyu's hand, "Sister, you are confused. As a woman, how can you personally propose such a thing as getting married?"

"Don't worry, only you and I know about this matter." Fang Ruyu also knew that the matter was serious and lowered her voice, "Second Master will not go out and talk nonsense."

Fang Ningmo sighed.

"He thinks about me so much, how can I betray him first?" A girlish blush appeared on Fang Ruyu's face, "He won't let me wait, but I insist on waiting. I want him to know that I, Fang Ruyu, have never married anyone. Regardless of family background. If he is a relative of the emperor, I will marry him; if he is a countryman, I can marry him too!"

Fang Ningmo was silent for a moment.

She thought silently in her heart, if the second master is really a country man, I'm afraid you two won't even have a chance to meet, so how can you talk about love?
Besides, this may be the second master's tactic of retreating in order to advance.

At that time, the Fang family was at its peak. Although the second master was considered a prince, there were still constraints.By capturing the eldest sister's heart, wouldn't it also capture the entire Fang family?

On the one hand, she felt that her sister's idea was a bit naive, but on the other hand, she reflected on whether she was too utilitarian.Could it be that Sister A is right and that she judges a gentleman with a villain’s heart?
As soon as Xu Zhenying walked back, he saw many people surrounding his camp.There was a fragrance in the air, sour and spicy, which made my stomach growl with greed.

The taste of hot and sour rice noodles.

Did the eldest aunt really make it?
Xu Zhenying walked back quickly, and sure enough, he saw the boiling water in the big pot boiling fiercely, and the crystal clear powder was rolling. He put some sesame oil, chili pepper, and vinegar in the bowl. It was so spicy that he was sweating all over. That was called refreshing.

Seeing Xu Zhenying coming, the eldest aunt hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Sixth girl, you just explained the method in detail, and I just remembered it roughly. Can you see if I did it right?"

Xu Zhenying gave a thumbs up, "Auntie did a great job, this is the taste."

"Oh, there aren't that many seasonings, so I just made whatever I wanted." After receiving the compliment, the eldest aunt narrowed her eyes happily and said hello again, "Go, go, go get some camphor tree fruits -"

The fourth aunt also asked: "What is this thing called? Why have I never seen it before? Sixth girl, where did you get the recipe?"

Miao has already spoken: "She is a little girl who knows the recipe. This is something from my hometown. It is just ordinary rice noodles with some seasoning. I took her to eat it several times when I was a child, but I didn't expect that she still remembers how to make it."

Xu Zhenying glanced at Miao, and Miao gave her a reassuring look.

She couldn't help but laugh, it was good, Miao already knew how to help her, so that she would not be questioned by others later on when she came up with any so-called prescriptions.

The fourth aunt was already deep in thought. When Huang Cui'e was making it just now, she was also helping out. She watched the whole process of how to make rice noodles. This thing is simple and convenient. I don't know if I can use this recipe to set up a stall in Qianzhou in the future. of.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

The onlookers naturally knew that the Xu family's things had been returned, and everyone secretly speculated on what method the Xu family used to make the prisoners vomit out the food they had eaten.

Although they were curious, no one dared to ask.

There were only a few who were greedy for rice noodles and asked with playful smiles: "Sister-in-law of the Xu family, your rice noodles are so delicious, can you share them with us all to try? Don't worry, it's just a chopstick, we can't eat much, can we have a taste..."

Some people followed and started cheering, "That's it...with just a pair of chopsticks, let's try something new."

"That's right, when you couldn't open the pot two days ago, I lent you a handful of wild vegetables—"

Miao was a little hesitant. One person had one chopstick, which didn't sound like much, but there were so many people.

What's more, the Xu family didn't have much food left.

The eldest aunt didn't care, and scolded her with a stern face: "You still have one chopstick. There are more than a dozen of you here, and each of you has one chopstick. I just cooked a pot like this and gave it all to you. Do you want to eat at my house tonight?"

The onlookers naturally lost their composure after being scolded like this, "You are so stingy, it's just a few fans -"

"No, it's like who hasn't eaten it before? I'm willing to take a bite, but it's better to give them face -"

"That's right, I heard that this family was a high-ranking official in the imperial court before. I didn't expect them to be so stingy."

The eldest aunt was so angry that she had a heart attack. Miao hesitated and said, "How about we make some more."

The eldest aunt said reluctantly: "We have to eat the remaining food on the way. If you finish eating tonight, will you be hungry tomorrow?"

Mrs. Miao smiled apologetically and said, "How exaggerated is that? Isn't there a lot of flour left in the luggage?"

Xu Zhenying smiled and said to the leader: "Uncle Wang, I'm so sorry. We only cooked so much today, and it's barely enough for our own family. Uncle Wang will not embarrass us women who cook. I heard that what your family is eating today is multi-grain steamed buns. Why not exchange a bowl of rice noodles for a steamed steamed bun, so that people won’t say that Uncle Wang wants to take advantage of our family——"

The eldest aunt's eyes lit up, and she immediately continued: "Yes, yes, if you want to eat, I can use your food in exchange for it, and we can all taste each other. Speaking of which, I didn't eat the wowotou, I was so worried - —”

The man named Uncle Wang hesitated a few words, "What's so delicious about Wo Wo Tou? I just want to change my taste when I'm tired of it..."

"Uncle Wang is tired of eating, but I haven't eaten for a long time, so I thought about it." Xu Zhenying imitated the innocent tone of a child, "Since you are tired of eating, why not just give it to me."

Sure enough, magic defeats magic.

The man named Uncle Wang was asking for trouble and walked away in despair.

The remaining people were too embarrassed to continue to pester.

"What kind of person can you remember a handful of wild vegetables for so long?" The eldest aunt took a sip, then turned to smile at Xu Zhenying, "Sixth girl is still smart, but a few words made the old thing so embarrassed that he couldn't hold his head up. I'll do it next time You have to learn a little bit—”

Miao and Zhao smiled slightly.

Xu Qingying added: "Auntie, please remember to cook more. I will give it to the ladies of the Fang family to try."

"Don't worry, never forget that Mrs. Fang gave us a lot of food before. If it weren't for her, we would have starved to death in the past few days. Remember her kindness..."

Huang Cui'e's breasts slapped loudly. She waited for Xu Zhenying to leave, and carefully asked Miao, "Let's just repay the favor this time. We can't just give everything to the old lady of the Fang family in the future, right?"

Miao laughed twice and said, "It shouldn't be so. The old lady of the Fang family is not such a disrespectful person."

Huang Cui'e felt relieved now and started fucking passionately again.
