Chapter 141
This time Mu Yun went to the village, leaving Yueping not to follow him, and stayed here to see the house.
After returning, he asked her if there was anything that happened in the past two days. After hearing this, Yue Ping smiled and shook her head and said, "Go back to Madam, there is nothing wrong. Just when Madam left, Princess Yu came to find her. When she heard that Madam went to the village, she disliked her husband for having gone to a good place to be free and easy, and she didn't say anything to her."
Mu Yun couldn't help laughing and crying: "Where am I going to? Her farm is not bigger and better than my little farm. It's true that she is getting smaller and smaller."
Yue Ping smiled and said, "Princess Yu is also thinking about her wife."
"That's true. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her some days. It's not too late. You can pick some good vegetables, fruits, etc. I brought back, and then pick a few of the lotus flowers with good quality and send them to her. Tell her if she has time tomorrow, let her come over, and I will personally organize a table of lotus flowers for her to eat."
Alas~ This place is not at home after all. Not to mention that the place is too narrow, otherwise Mu Yun would invite Xu, Shan Jingyan and others to come and sit there.
At this moment, she just sent someone to send the fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, shrimp, chicken, duck and other items she brought back to the two of them.
Yuan Chuzhi heard Yue Ping's words and immediately smiled and said, "Your wife has many ideas. Since she has invited her sincerely, I will naturally give her this face and tell her that I will definitely go tomorrow so that she can prepare for her life."
Then someone brought a large vase and inserted the lotus flowers and two lotus pods brought by Yueping, placed them on the antique shelf, and said with a smile: "There is finally a little fresh and lively in this room."
The next morning, Yuan Chuzhi got up early to dress up, which shocked Zhou Qing and asked quickly: "Why are you getting up so early today? What's wrong with you today?"
Yuan Chuzhi's grandmother is far away in Jiangnan and does not need her to serve her. Zhou Qing doesn't care about her on weekdays. She always sleeps until she wakes up naturally. Now she hears her husband teasing herself and says angrily: "You can't get up early if you're fine? I'm so lucky that I even made lotus leaf soup for you to eat!"
After hearing this, Zhou Qing hurriedly coaxed her and said, "I just said casually, as long as you want, you can do whatever you want." Then he said a lot of good words before he coaxed Yuan Chuzhi.
Yuan Chuzhi had breakfast and saw Zhou Qing away, cleaned up a little, and then asked the wet nurse to carry Brother Chen to Muyun in a carriage.
When Mu Yun heard the movement, he hurriedly brought the maid to the second gate. When he saw Yuan Chuzhi, he couldn't help but joke: "You came very early, Brother Chen has also come? He got up so early! The little monkey has been having fun in the past two days, and he hasn't woken up yet!"
When he heard this, Yuan Chuzhi snorted, "I'm still talking! You go to the outside village to have a happy life. If you don't want to call me, I'll use you as a confidant on weekdays, it's a waste of effort."
Mu Yun replied, "The Zhuangzi I went to is not as big as yours! Originally, my cousin and I were already busy enough to go there. If you take you like a princess, should I go to Songkuai or suffer?"
Yuan Chuzhi gently patted her shoulder with a fan: "You have many reasons. For the sake of your invitation to me today, I won't care about you! But since you invite me here, why do you have to bring out some fresh things? If you fool me with some ordinary things, see how I deal with you..."
Mu Yun smiled and said, "Whether it's good, you'll know if you've eaten it at noon!"
"So confident?"
The two of them walked into the house and sat down. Yueping wisely took Brother Chen'er's wet nurse to the house of the three children to play.
The maid brought the tea and brought it to her. Yuan Chuzhi opened the cover bowl and found that the tea soup was red-brown. She couldn't help but frowned. She never drank black tea.
Mu Yun smiled and said, "This is not black tea, it is Liubao tea from Guilin County. I specially found it. This tea is warm in nature and will not harm the spleen and stomach if you drink it. I heard that your spleen and stomach are uncomfortable for a while, so drink less tea. Have a try and see if you can drink it?"
Yuan Chuzhi knew that she was kind, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip. The sip was not as difficult as she thought. Instead, it was a bit sweeter than green tea and clear tea. She finished all the cups and asked, "What kind of tea is this? I haven't even drunk it before!"
Mu Yun replied: "This tea belongs to the category of black tea. It is produced in a small place called Liubao in Guilin County. Maybe people in the capital can't get used to it, so there are very few on the market. I like black tea. Didn't I get a box of Anhua black tea from you a while ago? Later, I sent someone to look for it. Someone brought it back to me. I accidentally drank it once and thought it was good, so I asked someone to go to Guilin Trading Company to search for it. Finally, I found a few boxes. If you are used to drinking it, I will bring one box back later. I didn't bring much here, so I will give you more when I return to Beijing."
The two of them were drinking tea and chatting about homely things, and it was noon soon.
The maid went back and forth and said, "Madam, lunch is ready, where are you going to put it?"
Before Muyun could answer, he heard Yuan Chuzhi say, "What's the fun in the house in such a weather? I see a stone table under the wisteria tree in your yard. Why don't we eat there?"
Mu Yun thought for a while and said, "What are the good things about wisteria flowers now? There are the most mosquitoes under the tree. Let's go and feed them?"
Before Yuan Chuzhi could answer, he heard Yue Ping say, "Madam, don't worry about this. I have prepared my masters for a long time, maybe they will go over and sit there, and cleaned the place early in the morning and smoked it with mugwort. There is no mosquito at all."
Yuan Chuzhi smiled at Yue Ping and said, "Your master became more and more lazy after becoming a kiss. But you girls all have a bit of the considerate and considerate sister Mu Yun at the time."
Yue Ping replied with a smile: "Princess Xie praises. It is the right thing for me to share my worries and solve my problems. If my master does everything by himself and waits for my master's instructions, then what's the use of keeping me?"
After hearing Yue Ping's words, Yuan Chuzhi exclaimed: "Tsk tsk, your master doesn't know how he trained him? They are all diligent and capable, and they are so eloquent! I really like it, why don't you follow me, right?"
Yue Ping knew that Yuan Chuzhi was joking, and immediately replied with a smile: "The princess has been too rewarded, and I have been following our wife and learned from her one or two points. I saw that the princess was not the ones, but the ones she liked, weren't hers, but I was afraid she had liked our wife?"
Yuan Chuzhi covered her mouth with a fan and smiled, "Isn't that true? You maid really hit my mind. If I were a man, I would have married your wife back, so how could there be anything else to Commander Wen? What a pity..." Everyone laughed.
Mu Yun smiled and punched her: "Go to yours..."
While I was joking, a little maid and an old lady had already cleaned up the stone table and chairs. The table was covered with soft silk tablecloths, and thick brocade cushions were placed on the stools. The old lady in the kitchen had already brought all the dishes and was setting the table.
The maid brought clean water with a copper basin. Yuan Chuzhi cleaned her hands with water and wiped it with a soft handkerchief. She smelled a faint smell of lotus flowers on her hands and smiled and said, "Oh~ You are really a lotus feast. Even the water has a lotus fragrance."
Mu Yun smiled proudly and said, "Don't underestimate this water. The lotus dew fumigated with fresh lotus leaves and lotus flowers is added to this water. Don't you think that the hands will feel moist when you cleanse it?"
Yuan Chuzhi didn't pay much attention just now, so he touched his left hand with his right hand: "You said that, it seems that there is really a little bit. How many more? I'll bring me a tank later."
Mu Yun gave her a angrily glance: "I'm going to have a tank! Why don't you go to heaven?? There are only two small cans in total. If you like it, just divide it into one can. If there is too much, is it enough? Every time I clean the noodles and clean my hands, it's enough. One can be used for a while. I'll make more next time before giving it to you."
Because the stone table was too high, it was difficult for the children to sit. Mu Yunyuan thought that they would go to the house to eat. The little monkey didn't go, and Brother Chen followed suit, but he was younger than the little monkey. He also started making trouble when he was toddler.
While laughing and scolding, Mu Yun asked the maid to lay a thick blanket and bamboo mat on the floor of the corridor, put a small kang table, picked up a few dishes that the children liked to eat, and let the two little ones sit on the mat to eat. The two little ones were eating and playing, and soon they were full of oil. After eating, their maid and wet nurse took them down to change the toilet.
The two little guys were here just now. Yuan Chuzhi was worried about her son and didn't even have a few bites. When she saw the wet nurse bringing her son down, she had the intention to taste the feast in front of her.
She smiled and said to Mu Yun, "No need to mention the taste of this dish, just looking at it makes people pleasing to the eye. Are so many dishes made of lotus flowers?"
Mu Yun nodded: "Since it is called a lotus feast, it is naturally made of lotus flowers, but for some dishes, lotus flowers are just made auxiliary materials."
After saying that, he pointed to Fang Xinsu one by one: "Look, this is lotus leaf chicken, this is lotus seed meat, this is lotus steamed meat, this is fried lotus, and the last one is snow-capped ice lotus. How about it?"
Fang Xinsu nodded and said, "It looks very good!" She picked up a piece of fried lotus, and her eyes lit up and started eating.
Seeing that she loved to eat, Mu Yun smiled and picked up another petal with public chopsticks and put it in her bowl: "This one is blanched with fresh fresh white lotus petals, wrapped in water and fryed with batter. You can try it."
Then he picked up another piece for himself. Yuan Chuzhi liked the taste very much and praised: "I originally thought the fried stuff would definitely be very greasy, but I didn't expect it to taste good, fragrant but not greasy, and a sweetness of lotus flowers. It's really good!"
Then he said to Mu Yun, who was eating lotus leaf chicken: "You will write a copy of these recipes today for me later, and I will take them back for the chef to cook for me."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yun gave her a blank look: "You are so polite!"
"We need to be polite?" Yuan Chuzhi said, "As he said that, he gave Mu Yun a white look.
"You're welcome, but I'll look at your face a little dark and yellow, but what's going on these days?"
The relationship between the two has always been familiar, and Mu Yun did not hide it and asked generously. After hearing her words, Yuan Chuzhi's face turned red, she bit her lip gently, and then came to her and whispered a few words.
Mu Yun raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "So that's the case. Have you ever seen an imperial physician?" Yuan Chuzhi beat her and whispered: "How can this disease be treated by the imperial physician?"
Mu Yun remembered that there was a doctor girl in the palace, so he spoke, "I heard that there is a doctor girl in the Imperial Hospital now? It's okay to find a doctor girl to see her."
