Not long after, Yu Wan came in with a tray. The creamy yellow paste in the bowl looked pleasing to the eye.
When she came here, Cheng Xue ate bird's nests a lot, but most of them were brown sugar bird's nests, red date bird's nests, etc.
"What is this for?"
"Steamed eggs with bird's nest." Yu Wan replied with a smile, "It is made of shredded bird's nest and eggs, goat's milk and rock sugar."
"Are you eager to learn?" Cheng Xue asked.
Yu Wan nodded, "It's like steaming chicken cakes. It's quite simple. The bird's nests given are all processed and can be used by soaking them in warm water."
Cheng Xue greeted everyone——
"Everyone gets a bowl and we all try something new. This is my first time eating steamed eggs with bird's nest."
When Wang heard what she said, she picked up a bowl and laughed at herself:
"If it weren't for my sister-in-law, I would have eaten bird's nests all my life. This is the first time I have eaten bird's nests in my 23 years of life. I heard that wives from wealthy families eat this to stay beautiful."
Yu Chang finished the sweet and tender bird's nest steamed egg in a few seconds and said:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, our Yingjie will definitely have a bright future in the future. After a few years of enlightenment, I will send him to Tengfei Academy in Fucheng. When the time comes, he will be admitted to an official position, and my sister-in-law will just wait and eat bird's nest."<
/p>
When doing business and making money, you should be tough when speaking.
If it were anyone else, she would immediately borrow Po Xia Donkey, so she should accept it as a matter of course. However, Wang is not that kind of person, and she has said that she is going to Tengfei Academy to study, and she also knows what level this academy is.
"You can't give this away, your brother has to give it away himself. Dad, listen, fight hard for your son."
"Don't worry." Yu Zhao nodded heavily.
Cheng Xue was puzzled by the two brothers' appearance, and asked in confusion:
"What's wrong? Why are you mentioning Tengfei Academy?"
Before Yu Zhao's "nothing" could be said, Yu Chang curled his lips angrily and said:
"The man named Wang Sen kept talking about Tengfei Academy during the meal, and also said that he would send his son there. He told us three times. As soon as I heard that, I knew he was going to the eldest niece, and I didn't get used to it.
Let’s just say that the eldest niece will have to marry the master who will be the first person to be the first person in the future, not the father.”
"Pfft——" Cheng Xue couldn't hold it back and chuckled directly. Yu Zhao looked at his brother who was stunned and smiled without saying a word.
There is a saying that "beat the old master to death with random punches", and this is what happened to Yu Chang.
Cheng Xue felt happy after hearing this, and in her mind, she added a pair of affectionate friends to the gifts she had planned. Such an awesome brother-in-law must be thanked.
After breakfast the next day, Yu Zhao came to see off all the guests. Yu Huai and others did not show up, so and so.
Wang Sen waited left and right in the front yard but couldn't see him. Finally, he reluctantly got in after Mr. Du got in the car.
As the carriage swayed onto the official road, Luo Shi spoke angrily——
"I'm avoiding you on purpose. From now on, don't talk about 'sister-in-law' and 'brother', not relatives. We have no influence and people don't care about us at all. Her man studied with the great Confucians Nanxia, Xiao Qinglin, and Zhou Fei
Everyone has gone, why didn’t you go? Think about it in your heart."
Wang Sen was tired of hearing the cliche talk about the wheel.
"You're good, what are you talking about? If it hadn't been for my sister-in-law, my life would have been lost, how could you still be the wife of the Juren? There are so many good girls, and our son is still young, why are you anxious."
"Why am I anxious? What do you think I am anxious about? If you are a good girl, if you don't make a decision now, when your good brother becomes a high official in the future, you won't be able to reach him if you want to. He won't take you now.
You're playing, didn't you notice?" Luo Shi said very rudely, and naturally did not care about her husband's face.
How could Wang Sen not know this truth, but when he thought of the care that the Li family had given to him, the resentment in his heart instantly dissipated. Seeing that the Du family's carriage was behind him, he said to the driver, "Stop," and jumped out and got into the back.
That car.
Luo Shi was so angry that her lung tube almost exploded, but she couldn't have an attack and could only watch him go. Fortunately, she was smart and asked her eldest son to write a letter yesterday. As long as she saw it, she would definitely have a reply.<
/p>
At the same time, in the main courtyard of the Li family, Cheng Xue's hands were trembling and she wanted to tear up the paper in her hands!
The letter was not written by Wang Sen. It is unclear which of his sons it is, but the tone of the letter is definitely from Luo.
Is it considered a big deal if my son goes to Tengfei Academy? Where does the logic come from?
Whether it is a generation or a minority that brings glory to the family, which family has not experienced the efforts of several generations! Wang Sen passed the examination and ranked high among all the people. How could she be... so confident!
"Don't be angry, madam. Leave the letter to my slave, and I will handle it."
"No, let's just burn it in the stove. Don't worry about it." Cheng Xue breathed a long sigh of relief, rubbed her temples and asked, "Uncle, have they set off?"
"Not yet, I'm sitting with my cousin." Yu Niang replied.
Cheng Xue nodded "Yeah", stood up, straightened her clothes, and said:
"Then let's go over and put on the bottle of the pair's affectionate couple, as well as other things."
"Yes."
Arriving at Yu Zhao's house, Yu Huai was pulling tarpaulin in the yard with his two sons.
It’s a warm time again. Last summer, we ate in the courtyard and it was extremely cool. We will continue to do so this year.
Cheng Xue walked to Mrs. Liu and said softly:
"Auntie, I brought some bird's nests for you and uncle. You two are the only ones who are good to us. You have to take care of yourself and live well. We also have a home to run around in."
The words of rejection came to her lips, and the last sentence made Ms. Liu completely give up the idea.
"Now that I know Benben's family, I often come to live there."
"Don't worry, Auntie, you won't miss it." Cheng Xue promised with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, how about we go dig vegetables in the mountains when my parents return to the village?" Mrs. Wang came over and suggested.
The best season for nibbling greens has passed, and they were too busy to take care of it at that time. It was a rare day off, and Wang had to go to work tomorrow, so it was most appropriate to take the children for a walk in the mountains.
Cheng Xue nodded after hearing this and told Yu Niang to go home and prepare food and drink. Although there was no shortage of anything at home, we still had to dig out the wild vegetables that should be dug, and we must not forget our roots. As for some people who forgot their roots, they were directly blocked and refused to interact with each other. In the future,
They are all rare and subtle.
"By the way, Snow Lady, when are you going to the capital? Before or after the new year? I can arrange Yu Hao's marriage."
Hearing what Liu said, Cheng Xue hurriedly said "after the new year", it is customary in the north to marry in the twelfth lunar month.
"Auntie, just follow your plan. Even if we have to leave, the workshop will start working on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Besides, the examination is on March 3rd. If you go to Beijing from here, you can get there in two months. There are people in the capital to help rent a house.
You don’t have to worry.”
Of course Mrs. Liu wouldn't worry about this. After all, her nephew saved a nobleman from the capital, so she felt relieved.
"Well, then on the day of the engagement, we'll find someone to pick it up. Then you can take the children there two days in advance to help with the arrangements."
"Don't you have to go to the woman's house to hire someone?"
"Yes, we are going there, but after that I want to ask them to come and recognize the door. You will have to stay for a while."
"It's nothing, it should be." Cheng Xue responded.
