Husband Xie An

Several noble young gentlemen were fascinated by the paintings in the study, and the housekeeper and cooks were too busy. Juhua walked over quickly with her skirts in hand: "Several young gentlemen are doing something to pear blossoms and peach blossoms. I like the cakes and crisps very much, and I also boast that the shape of the rabbit made of glutinous rice balls is very cute, and the green ai balls don’t move much.”

"What did Mr. Xiao Lang say?" asked the council member who was specially sent by Mrs. Ji to entertain the little distinguished guests.

Ju Hua shook his head: "I can't find a chance to ask Xiao Langjun." The voice is that my Xiao Langjun knows it himself, and his personality reminds him of preparing a souvenir for the little distinguished guest unless the sun comes out from the west.

The housekeeper discussed with the director's mother: "How about making a portion of cakes, crisps, glutinous rice balls, and green moxa balls?"

There are four kinds of cakes and crisps made by pear blossoms and peach blossoms, and six kinds with glutinous rice balls and green moxa balls. I thought about it: "Is there a lot of categories? Ma'am, what you mean is that this is a peer relationship between Xiao Langjun. , it’s not beautiful if it’s too grand.”

Lin Zunwen's weight is not enough in front of these prominent families, and if he is too heavy, he will be suspected of clinging to him. After all, when a few juniors meet and get together, what's the point of making such a grand event?It's even more troublesome if it's lighter, Lin Zunwen still has to make a living under the hands of the big boss Jiankang, should he still make a fool of himself if he ignores the young man of the direct line?

If it's too heavy, it won't work if it's too light, the steward and the director's mother turned their heads in worry, Juhua said carefully: "Why don't you let Ping An find a chance to ask Mr. Xiaolang?"

Then Juhua went to ask Ping'an, and when she came back, she couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Ping'an said that if I go to ask Mr. Xiao Lang, I'm afraid I have to give the prescription away, so we don't want to discuss it anymore?"

The housekeeper and the director's mother looked at each other, this is really what their little man did: "Then why don't we discuss it again?"

"Then we'll discuss it later." Originally, the gift was a souvenir that was all about etiquette, but the recipe couldn't be delivered, and it's not like that to offend someone.

Before the four gentlemen left, four carved food boxes were filled with freshly baked exquisite snacks. Xie Xuanyi and the others could not help but refuse, saying: "How can this be done? Originally, they came here uninvited. Talking about it, how can I spend money?"

Lin Abao suddenly remembered that there was still a souvenir, touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Just a few homemade snacks, if you don't mind, please don't refuse the four virtuous brothers."

Rejecting was disgusting, Xie Xuan and the others had no choice but to take the food box and thank them according to the etiquette, and then they left. Mrs. Ji, who had counted the time, went back to the house. Among them, Lin Abao didn't realize it was a thing.

"Aniang, isn't it just some snacks? Just give them the recipes. There are a lot of recipes for food at home. Let them choose if they like."

Mrs. Ji took the time to stare at him: "Shut up, if you keep messing around like this, a good friend will become an enemy in the blink of an eye." Then she turned her head and continued to ask the director's mother: "Are you guys happy to go back? Can you explain why my master and I are not here?"

The director's mother blessed Fushen: "Explained. The four young gentlemen are very reasonable, and they also stated that they are friends of the younger generation, and they got along with the young gentleman. If the wife pays too much attention to it, they will be abrupt. "

Mrs. Ji nodded: "That's the reason. We are new here. If we get too close to Jiankang Haoqiang, we will be suspected of clinging. If we are far away, we will lose our courtesy and offend others. Master is just an embarrassing time for Hou Guan. As a housewife, I can't How can I help you, but at least you can't cause trouble for the master. You should also be vigilant, this Jiankang is full of rich families, don't wantonly get into a lawsuit."

"Ma'am taught me that."

Mrs. Ji smiled and said a few more words, and finally said: "Today's cooking is good, tell the kitchen to add two dishes for you tonight."

The master rewarded the director's mother, who also had a bright face, smiling modestly: "These are what slaves should do, and it's also Madam who teaches well on weekdays."

Lin Abao, who heard from beginning to end, felt that he understood every word, but why didn't he understand it together?

When Mrs. Ji sent the board director to add vegetables to the kitchen, she looked back at Lin Abao with a dumbfounded expression, annoyed and funny: "Why are you so dazed?"

"Why is giving the recipe an enmity? Xie Xuan and the others like to eat it, wouldn't it be better for me to give them the recipe and let the mansion cook make it?" Lin Abao didn't understand. Why is his mother so troublesome? "And Aunt, don't you usually give rewards? Why are you so stingy and only add two dishes today?"

Hearing the last sentence, Mrs. Ji almost turned her back angrily, and directly pinched Lin Abao's face: "It's really useless to raise your son! It's good that you are not a daughter, otherwise mother will be mad at you to death!" Thinking of this, Ji The madam can't help but sigh, it's a pity that she doesn't have a daughter to teach her such a good skill of managing the inner house.

Lin Abao almost burst into tears from the pain, staring at his mother, and said that he is not a girl?

Mrs. Ji wanted to laugh again, so she had to start from the beginning to measure her son's IQ: "Ah Bao, think about it for a while, if you go to play at someone's house you just met, and eat his cakes and think they are delicious, the other party will tell you The prescription is given to you, what will Ah Bao think?" Mrs. Ji thought that her own Ah Bao might be able to save her?

If I go to play at my friend's house, I feel that his dim sum is delicious, and then he tells me how to make it... Lin Abao thought about it carefully: "Of course I thank him."

Mrs. Ji raised her forehead, what can be saved is really just an illusion!

"Am I wrong?" Lin Abao scratched his head.

"Wrong. Bao should know that what you think is good is not good for others. It is not a big deal to give the prescription to others, but everyone in the world says 'don't do anything wrong'. If you don't have something that is not yours, you can't do it right away. The reason? Even if you are familiar with it later, you can’t directly give the recipe to others, it must be in accordance with the etiquette. And Ah Bao thinks, in front of Wang, Xie, Cui, Xiao, etc., will there be a few pastry recipes missing? You Give it to them like this, and it is rumored that the dead will only be Daoist kings, Xie, Cui, and Xiao Qiang to take advantage of power and bully the weak. For a few dim sum recipes, if we fail to do well, neither will they. It’s not for nothing Offending someone? And, "

Lin Abao was dumbfounded: "What else?!"

Mrs. Ji poked him with her fingertips and scolded him: "For those who pay attention to the rules, the recipes of the kitchen dishes are not passed on to the outside world, and they are regarded as secret, and the very close people only occasionally exchange them. You just know the recipes and give them to others. Do you allow others to think too much about it? Is this clinging to them, or looking down on them? It’s safe to say, the chrysanthemums should be rewarded especially, thanks to them..."

Lin Abao, who is already in a daze, is so stunned. A few prescriptions have such a big question. Is the Eastern Jin Dynasty too complicated or is he too stupid? !

"As for the fact that you don't reward money and only add food, it's not for you? Your father's family business has been ruined by him, and you will still have enough to eat when it's your turn?"

When Mrs. Ji said this, everyone could tell that she was teasing her own son, but Lin Abao couldn't tell that she was so stupid, and her brain hole went straight to the tragic situation of the family drinking northwest wind after the family's finances were tight. He hesitated for a while "Aniang, why don't you exchange my paintings for money, although it's not much, but it should be able to make up for it..."

"..." Mrs. Ji's expression was truly indescribable.

Not to mention the ironic mother-son conversation in the Lin family, when Xie Xuan met Xie An when he went back, he talked about An Lilin's Abao's outstanding painting skills.

"My nephew knows how often the third uncle has seen good paintings, and even became close friends with Gu Shishu, but my nephew dares to guarantee that the third uncle will be amazed if he sees Abao's paintings. From the brushwork to the conception, it is impeccable. I don't know how much more than my peers, and what's more, Po's use of color is simply unheard of and unseen!"

Xie An put down the fine brush in his hand: "To get such a compliment from you, it shows that Lin Abao's painting skills are indeed outstanding."

"Nephew doesn't dare to lie." Xie Xuan put the food box next to him and leaned closer to Xie An to appraise the results of the three paintings. At the end, he couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that no one is perfect. Ah Bao has been weak since he was a child until he was eight years old, and he still can't memorize the four books and five classics."

"Frail?" Xie An thought of the jade-white complexion of the handsome young man under the oil-paper umbrella when he first met on the official road.

Xie Xuan nodded: "It's probably true. The Lin family eats breakfast, lunch and dinner three times a day, just to take into account that A Bao has to eat less and more meals." He laughed again, and said: "Thanks to A Bao, We also ate some at noon, the pigeon soup was delicious and thick, and the assorted vegetarian fried rice was fragrant and chewy, let us all eat it together, and by the way, there are some snacks, Lin Fu sent some when we left, Third Uncle has a taste."

A servant came to open the food box. The bunny-shaped glutinous rice balls looked cute, the peach blossom cake was pink and tender, and the pear cake was snow-white.And Xie An knew that the products produced by the Lin Mansion were not just for looking at them, but also for eating them.

Seeing that his third uncle was interested, Xie Xuan closed the lid: "It's almost time to eat, third uncle will save some to eat later."

The winking servant took the box and went to pack it, and then came back holding the box with lowered eyebrows. Xie Xuan put on his shoes and carried it to Mrs. Ruan, and put the food box down like sharing a rare thing. He opened it by himself and said cheerfully, "Mum, taste the cakes from Abao's family to see if it suits your taste. I met my third uncle before and gave points—"

Ruo Da's food box is full and only one third of the box of snacks is left!Xie Xuan changed his words: "Seeing that Uncle San likes it, I'll give it a little more."

Mrs. Ruan didn't know the mystery of it at all, so she blamed her son: "Since your third uncle likes it, why don't you keep it?"

"These pastries are made from fresh recipes, I want to show my mother a taste."

For the face of the elders, Xie Xuan was worried, and when he ran into his third uncle the next day, he couldn't help but stabbed: "Third uncle thought yesterday's cake was good?"

"It's okay."

Seeing that his third uncle's handsome face remained motionless, Xie Xuan almost wondered if his servants had swallowed so many cakes for himself, but his family's style was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the servant who ate the gall of a leopard would also eat it. Didn't dare to do this, so my third uncle ignorantly gave my nephew most of the cakes but didn't feel the slightest blush?Xie Xuan's mentality is a bit broken. Is this still the third uncle of his family?

In fact, this is not a problem for Xie An, who is in the wind and the moon. The pastry was brought by his nephew himself, and the point was given to him by the other party first. .

"Two days will be the day when the academy will start. Concentrate on studying your homework, and ask if you don't understand. You need to be cautious when interacting with the Lin family. Don't cause trouble with them, understand?" This does not exist, the training has to be taught, the warning still has to be warned, if you can't cut it, you can't make it, who hasn't had the time to be knocked out?

"Yes, nephew understands."

"Well, go get busy."
