Chapter 257: Lotus Root Powder


At the end of the Shen period, Cheng Xunxun returned.

Yuzhu greeted him.

Seeing that his expression was calm, he couldn't see any difference from usual.

Thinking about Cai Baokang's relayed Mama Yang's words, "The old lady has never wanted the second master to know", Yuzhu had no choice but to raise a smile, pretending to be casual and leading Cheng Xunxun into the house, and made tea with his own hands and brought it over.

"What's wrong with your eyes" How do you know that Cheng Xunxun's eyes are keen, and he quickly noticed that something was wrong, reached out and held Yuzhu's face, and said in a deep voice: "How do you seem to have cried." ” Yuzhu rubbed his eyes and said suspiciously: "No, what are you crying about, well, maybe it's about to be the New Year, and the New Year's gifts sent by each family are increasing day by day. ” Cheng Xunxun stared at Yuzhu quietly for a while, and when she couldn't hold it anymore, she turned her gaze back and said with a smile: "Do I want to help you get angry?"

Yuzhu knew that he had misunderstood that he was angry and cried by Princess Zhuyi, and he didn't break it, so he sneered: "Don't, this is a backyard matter, you shouldn't find a man to make a move, don't underestimate me." ” But her mind drifted far away, and Princess Zhuyi went to Ji's house too often recently.

Cheng Xunxun loved her very much when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were dizzy, like a coquettish and a trick, which made people feel pain in their hearts.

Then he smiled and nodded, and said, "A few more eyes." ” Yuzhu peeked at it, this person didn't have the consciousness that the princess of Zhuyi was a stepmother at all On the second day, the two opened their eyes almost at the same time, looked at each other and smiled, and each got up to get dressed and washed.

As soon as it was dawn, Yuzhu felt quite energetic, and after breakfast, he personally sent Cheng Xunxun out.

"Today is the last day of the year to go to the camp, there are a lot of things to deal with, if you come back late in the evening, you can eat first, you don't have to wait for me."

Cheng Xunxun took the black fox fur feather note in Yuzhu's hand, covered it on the outside of the ink silk robe, and turned around and smiled before leaving: "Be obedient, don't bully Xi'er again." ” Yuzhu was embarrassed, pinching the edge of the cloak and crying and laughing.

Seeing Cheng Xunxun's tall and long back disappear from sight, he was just about to go back to see if Brother Xi had woken up, when a little maid came running: "Mrs., the New Year's gift from Grandma Lin of Deyuan is here." ” Simply arrived at the door, only a few steps away, Yuzhu simply followed the little maid out.

Du Shi wore a cloak with lotus green bucket pattern and icing on the cake, covered with a snow hat, and saw Yuzhu coming from afar, she smiled, and immediately reached out to take Yuzhu's hand, and walked to the yard affectionately.

After entering the house, the maid stepped forward to help Du Shi take off his cloak, revealing the long jacket with autumn fragrance and gold inside.

Yubian came up with the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and Yuzhu sent the servants in the house, handed her the small brass hand stove of the five butterflies holding longevity on the kang, and said with a smile: "It's suddenly a lot colder today, and you come here in person." ” "It's only been a few steps, and it's not cold at all."

Du Shi smiled and took the stove and put it on his lap, "It's hard to get out of the door, I also secretly relax and relax, all the trivial things have been tiring and tight recently." ” Yuzhu laughed, the brilliance between his eyebrows flowed, and a pair of bright eyes were as bright as stars: "Sister-in-law, you are not afraid that I will sue my mother, go back and call you to be punished." ” Du Shi pursed his lips and chuckled, and asked rhetorically, "Will the second sister do?"

"Don't dare, if Brother Rui knows that I cheated his mother, I won't be kicked out by him when I go back to my parents' house in the future."

Yuzhu was so happy that he forgot his form and didn't pay attention to it, swept his arm and swept the teapot next to his elbow directly to the ground, breaking it into several pieces, and the warm tea was still steaming.

Du Shi was taken aback, reacted and quickly patted his chest, and muttered: "Broken Peace, Broken Peace" Hua Zhen hurriedly led a few little maids in to clean up, and changed the hot tea again.

"Hua Zhen, you go and take the lotus root noodles we made ourselves, mix two bowls and send them over, let the big milk taste it."

Yuzhu stopped Hua Zhen, who was about to go out, and ordered with a smile.

He turned around and said to Du Shi: "Keeping is better than buying from Sanjuwei, and eating the most nourishing people in autumn and winter, if you taste it, bring a few packs back." ” Du Shi was a little envious and said, "You are idle all day, so you bother to think about these foods." ” Soon, Hua Zhen came in with a tea tray carved in black lacquer of begonia wood, took out two small and delicate blue and white bowls, and put one in front of Yuzhu and Du Shi.

Du Shi opened the bowl in front of him, only to see a steaming bowl of lotus root powder, showing a slight pink color, crystal transparent, elegant and sweet, and you can also see that there are a few pickled osmanthus mixed with it is indeed different from the lotus root powder that you usually eat.

Scoop up a spoonful and put it in your mouth, mellow and delicate, smooth and delicious, with a hint of sweet fragrance of osmanthus, I can't help but praise: "It's so delicious, how can it be so fragrant" Yuzhu said with a smile: "I used fresh old lotus root as an ingredient, cut and washed, first put it in a stone mortar and mash it, and grind it into a lotus root pulp with a small stone.

The ground lotus pulp is placed in a bag made of gauze, and the pulp is stirred while rinsing until the oozing water is not white. ” "Bleaching is very troublesome, immersed and stirred for a few days, only to get the coarse powder and then put it in a cloth bag with grass ash to absorb water, and then use a rope to hang it in a ventilated place to drain, break it with your hands and put it in the sun to dry, it takes about half an hour to cut into slices, which is not finished, and you have to take it out to dry, until it is completely dry and made into powder, it is finished."

Yuzhu lowered his head and ate a few more bites, feeling the sweetness of the agate jelly-like fragrance flowing in his mouth without hindrance, and then said: "There are too few sunny days after the lotus root is ripe this year, and there are definitely not many high-quality lotus root noodles sold outside. ” As soon as Du Shi put down the spoon, he frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said, "When it comes to confinement, I think of something.

She paused, and her voice was a little strange: "The Marquis of Yongchang sent her mother-in-law to Deyuan to report the good news, saying that the eldest sister is pregnant and has already sat down in the fetus." ” Yuzhu was slightly surprised, and smiled again for a moment: "This is really a great event, I have time to go and see her." ” Although Yulan is not born to the same mother as herself, she has her father's blood on her body.

When he was in the boudoir, Cui's heart was very entangled, that is, he didn't want to see Yulan, and he didn't want to make his mother sad, so he didn't seriously mention it when Yulan went down the crooked road, but his attitude could be called indifferent Maybe she never regarded Yulan as her sister, so she turned a blind eye to Hongdou's bad teaching.

Now that I think about it, I regret it, Yulan is actually not wrong, she can't choose who her mother is, people go to high places and water flows to low places, she wants to fight for a better life, and it is human nature to marry a high family.

If he had worn Yulan at the beginning, he would also try his best to seek his father's favor, and the high-spirited concubine would naturally not be liked by his mother.

It's just the method that's wrong.

Yuzhu smiled slowly, she would not be hypocritical enough to make amends, after all, the diaphragm should still be there, and the high wall built by the word "concubine" made it impossible for them to really get close after all, so why bother to be a virgin in vain, annoying to this day, all that is left is blessing.

May she be able to let go of her past jealousy, cherish everything, live a good life, and give birth to a child safely.

"Yes, it's been how many years since I married into the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and there has been no movement, but I'm not in a hurry.

It's okay now, I'm finally pregnant, and I have an heir, at least life is much better on the bright side.

Du Shi saw that Yuzhu's expression was calm and calm, so he was relieved.

On that day, the Marquis of Yongchang sent someone to Deyuan to report the good news, and the father-in-law listened to the slight loosening of his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth still had a faint smile, and although the mother-in-law had a joy on her face that could not be concealed, the occasional flash of coldness in her eyes made her extremely uncomfortable.

Yuzhu could roughly guess her thoughts when she looked at Du Shi's appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "What my sister-in-law said is that it is not easy for my sister's family to live together, and she must have suffered a lot. ” When it comes to children, the topic inevitably goes to Brother Xi.

It happened that Brother Xi woke up at this time, so he hugged the nurse.

Du Shi took the little doll as pink as white jade with great interest and held it in his arms, and when he was looked at by the pair of black jade-like eyes after waking up, his heart was half full, and he couldn't help but kiss his little face, and said softly: "Oh, our brother Xi woke up, little girl, I am your aunt." ” Brother Xi stared at Du Shi with dark eyes, and Du Shi's reflection seemed to be seen in his pure and clear eyes.

Du Shi was reluctant to let go, and Yuzhu smiled: "Growing into this jade carving-like appearance, I don't know how many little girls I will charm in the future." ” Yuzhu had to say twice, this little guy saw that it was obviously the two brightly colored coral stone earrings on Du's ears.

Could it be that her son is the kind of person who is very pleasing to the legend and pleasing to women?

After a rare pass, Du Shi noticed the delicately embroidered little jacket on Brother Xi'er's body, his eyes were even brighter, and he said in surprise: "Second sister, this is what you did, this embroiderer." ” Brother Xi was touched by her and giggled, and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth to his chin, shiny, so stupid.

Yuzhu hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe his saliva, and tapped it lightly on the little nose, and then replied: "You also know that I am lazy, this little jacket has taken a lot of effort, and it can't be said that it is not fine." ” The feeling of making clothes for my son is really different, every stitch and thread has changed the meaning, I don't want anything else in my head, I just want to do my best, and the speed naturally can't go up.

Gently patting Brother Xi'er's back, Du Shi nodded with a smile, and said another thing: "Your stepmother-in-law looks like she is not worried, I went to the flower hall just now, the Ji family is good, I have heard that she is now in charge of the Guogong Mansion, and now she is really generous and polite."

It's a pity that your step-mother-in-law stayed on the side, although she rarely spoke, but she always made Ji's hands and feet tied.

The maids and ladies are also looking at this side, and then look at who is in charge of this family if it goes on like this."

Yuzhu suddenly felt bored when she heard this, Princess Zhuyi didn't care about her family, she had nothing to do in the flower hall where she was entertaining guests, and it was clear that bullying the Ji family was a junior, and it was hard to say anything, and she was going to meddle in the affairs of the house.

Yes, anyway, after she entered the door, she clearly resigned from the housekeeper's rights, and her husband knew about it, and she just went to "take a look". gd1806102:
