From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 264 Untitled
She has always loved her sister dearly, and clings to her for everything delicious and fun.Therefore, Mei Shien patted his chest like a little adult and said, "Don't worry, brother will let you eat."

He dare not say that he can get an A in martial arts, but he can definitely do in reading.Besides, the second brother and the third brother are older, except for the two of them, so he is the most powerful.

Mei Xiyan also wanted to go, but Mei Shien never talked to her very much and didn't play with her, so she dared not say it.He raised his head and leaned against his elder brother Mei Zhongkai, and murmured, "Brother, I want to eat too!"

Mei Zhongkai has always respected the old and cared for the young, and when she saw how greedy she was, she hurriedly agreed, "Okay, I will take you with me when I get the gift. However, you have to work hard yourself. If you can get the gift, we will go with you." The eldest sister said to ask my mother to go with me."

In order to make his younger sister better, Mei Zhongkai also began to put in effort, of course, he was mainly inspired by Mei Xin.A single tree is hard to support, and a hundred flowers bloom together.

The two of them lowered their voices obviously because they didn't want others to hear, Mei Xin smiled and asked everyone to start eating with their chopsticks.

Few of the half-grown children can sit, so it is very lively and the atmosphere is very good.During the banquet, they drank a lot of fruit wine while changing glasses, and the resentment and fear towards Mei Xin in the past few days also dissipated a lot.

In fact, it's not just that, they also got to know each other better through this meal, their relationship deepened, and their feelings of rejection and resistance towards Mei Xin were much less.

I don't remember how long it has been since the children had such joy, Lin and Zeng are also in a particularly good mood.I think Mei Xin is really a good big sister, and these children will definitely get better and better with her leading them in the future!
And they themselves, when they heard that Mei Xin had put 5 taels of silver in the public account during the day, their hanging hearts fell.Pointing to the living in Prince Liang's Mansion, life without money is really too sad.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Mama Zhang from next door came over.Cattail led her in and said, "Report to the Eldest Princess, Mama Zhang who is beside Mrs. Zongzhenghou has arrived."

Fushen saluted and stood aside, Zhang Mama took a step forward and bowed her knees to salute Mei Xin: "Your maidservant sees the Eldest Princess, and the Eldest Princess is blessed!"

Mei Xin never liked these common etiquettes, so she raised her hand and motioned for her to get up and said, "Have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, then..."

"My maidservant has eaten, thank you Eldest Princess for giving me the food!" Mama Zhang knew that she grew up in the military camp and didn't pay much attention to rules, otherwise she should be confused.She is an old lady and servant of the Zongzhenghoufu, so she is qualified to sit and eat with the eldest princess, not to mention that the little masters of the Mei family are all there.

Gently nodding her head to show that she understood, Mother Zhang said: "My wife heard that the eldest princess has a bad appetite recently, so she specially picked squirrel mandarin fish, stewed crab noodles, lion head, West Lake vinegar fish and dried shredded chicken soup. This dish is the signature dish of the Jiangnan restaurant, I hope the eldest princess likes it."

Because Bai Yulan has identified Mei Xin and regards her as her daughter-in-law, Zhang's mother, who is a dowry maid, is also very warm and polite.Therefore, after ordering people to present all the dishes one by one, they introduced them to her one by one.

Sister-in-law Li is good at cooking Huaiyang cuisine, Mei Xin is no stranger to these dishes, on the contrary, she has eaten them all in her previous life.The taste is good, but it takes too much effort, especially the dry silk, which is a test of knife skills.

Although she knew it, she was polite and did not interrupt. After Mama Zhang introduced them one by one, she said: "In addition to these few dishes, my wife also sent some food sold in my shop. There are candied plums and dried fruits, and some are from the south. The new-style cakes made by the master, as well as some fresh vegetables and sausages from Zhuangzi. They are not worth anything, so I just want something fresh, and I ask the princess not to refuse, please accept it!"

Mei Xin would naturally not accept anything valuable, after all, she would not be rewarded for her merits, but she saw that the gift list handed over by Zhang's mother was exactly as she said, and she said very gratefully: "My wife and I only met once, but she misses you so much." So far, thank you so much! Yun Luo, go and bring the altar of wine back to Mama Zhang, and let Mrs. Zongzheng Hou taste it."

After finishing speaking, Mei Xin looked at Zhang's mother again, seeing that she was about to decline, she hurriedly said: "Mother Zhang, don't refuse, the wine I gave is different from the ones sold in the shops in the capital. Most of them are watered or Sugar, this is the authentic Liangzhou wine. Moreover, it has been aged for a while, and the taste is more intense and mellow."

Eldest brother is not a stingy person, since it is a gift for her, it must be a good thing.Originally, she wanted to keep a jar for her father, but considering that he was injured and could not drink, she might as well give it to Mrs. Zongzheng Hou.

Reciprocity is the long-term way for people to get along with each other. Besides, they will be neighbors in the future, and she is the empress's mother. If people want to communicate, she should also move around.The capital is so big, and I don't know many people. If I can make connections, I might be able to use them for anything in the future.

In the previous life, she stayed behind closed doors and just lived her own life. In this life, for the sake of the Mei family, for the sake of her parents and brothers, she should also go out to socialize more and build a good relationship with these noble ladies.

With a slight smile, Mother Zhang said: "Thank you, Eldest Princess, I am not afraid of her jokes when I say it. My wife doesn't like gold, silver and jewelry, but she likes to drink a little wine on weekdays. If I see my slaves bringing jars of wine back, I might be so happy." .”

Unexpectedly, the dignified and wealthy Magnolia loves to drink, Mei Xin was slightly taken aback and said: "That's really a coincidence, but it's a pity that I didn't bring much this time, so I can only give a jar to my wife. If my wife drinks well, I'll wait for someone to drink it next time." When I come back from Liangzhou, I will bring her some more."

Zhang's mother saw that what she said didn't seem like a polite word, she didn't just say it and forget it, so she couldn't mention how happy she was.Xindao, what my wife said is not wrong at all, this eldest princess is kind and a good child.

After thanking her again and again, Mother Zhang went out, and when Yun Luo gave her the wine and two packs of walnuts, she hurried back.

Bai Yulan was so anxious waiting at home that she couldn't eat anymore.Look left, look right, and finally saw Zhang's mother came back, she hurriedly got up and said: "How is it, have you taken all the things?"

In the morning, my son prepared a lot of things to send to Mei Xin. After reading it, she thought it was too reckless and too abrupt, maybe it would scare him.So, she made a point of showing her face in the afternoon, to get to know each other, and then pick and choose the things and send them to one-third of the place first.

As the saying goes, once you are born and you are familiar again, this matter cannot be rushed and slow, and her identity is in contact with Mei Xin, so giving her something will not appear abrupt, nor will it arouse other people's attention and suspicion.On the contrary, the son is different. He is an old bachelor who has not married a wife. He gave a gift to a widow for no reason and for no reason. If he gave back so much, he would definitely be criticized.
