On the eighth day of March, Chen Xiuyan took Princess Changshou and Luo Mingxin to the Princess Hanshan Mansion.

This is the second time we have come here. Compared with the Plum Banquet, this banquet is very small. It is in the flower hall in the backyard. However, it is not a round table, but a small long table for each person like a palace banquet.

Chen Xiuyan and her party were welcomed in by Shen Rongshi. When they arrived at the flower hall, Princess Hanshan was sitting on the main seat. There was also a row on the right, all of them were from the Zou family. The aunts of the Zou family had married there.

Mrs. Huo and Huo Min, who had met each other once, were also there.

The old Princess Hanshan definitely did not move, and the others all stood up. After all, none of them included Chen Xiuyan, the princess of Changshou had a noble status.

"Greetings to the princess." Chen Xiuyan and others greeted Princess Hanshan.

"Hurry up and sit down. You kids are too polite. We are all relatives." Princess Hanshan said with a smile.

"Come on Changshou, my aunt hasn't seen you for some time. You seem to have grown taller, right?" Princess Hanshan was very enthusiastic towards Princess Changshou. She asked her carefully and touched her head frequently, showing a loving look.

"By the way, Xiuyan hasn't met the rest of the Zou family yet." Princess Hanshan seemed to mention it in a normal way, and introduced Chen Xiuyan to some of the people who came to the Zou family today.

"The Zou family has a good relationship with my aunt's family. I offended you Xiuyan because I didn't know Taishan before. I knew that the Lord of Wenshui County was going to marry a Tatar, so I specially found a cook who is good at Tatar cuisine. I would like to accompany you sincerely."

.”

Princess Hanshan is very polite, her attitude is much better than that at Mei Yan, and she directly calls herself aunt. It seems that she is really good to the Zou family.

"It's just a piece of mouse droppings, it can't ruin the Zou family's pot of porridge. Mrs. Huo was born in the Zou family. Not only is she well-educated, but the children she educates are also smart and lively." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile.

"Actually, it's nothing. I didn't take it to heart. I just felt that I didn't deserve any reward, so I didn't accept those expensive gifts. I don't blame the Zou family at all."

Chen Xiuyan spoke lightly, but her attitude towards Zou Yu could be seen through the metaphor of rat excrement.

Zou Yu's life has been in dire straits these days, and now she turned pale when she heard Chen Xiuyan's words, but thinking of her family's instructions, she walked directly to Chen Xiuyan and knelt down to salute.

"I have a blind eye, a bad temper, and a small mind. With the help of the princess and the prince, my father-in-law suddenly became a villain. I have offended many things. I apologize to the princess, the princess of Changshou and the prince of Wenshui."

.”

Chen Xiuyan knew that Zou Yu's words must have been taught by her family. She couldn't think of such a high-quality apology in her mind.

I didn't intend to argue too much, so I just asked people to get up, "I accept your apology. Get up. I know all your thoughts today."

"Haha, okay. When I get older, I like to see the younger generations living together harmoniously. While there is still time before lunch, let's go to the back garden to take a look."

"In addition to plum blossoms, there are many kinds of flowers in the house."

Looking at flowers is just a gimmick, talking is the real thing. People of the same age can't talk to each other.

Huo Min followed Princess Changshou one step behind. He no longer had the straightness and sternness of talking to people that day. Instead, he was a little embarrassed and spoke little. He spoke respectfully and his head was still half-bowed.

"It's okay, just follow your own temperament. I'm not a bad guy. Even if I don't agree with what you say, it doesn't necessarily make sense. Just like before, the positions are just different." Princess Changshou was the first to speak,

"I won't just blame anyone."

"Princess, don't you think what I said before was wrong?" Huo Min was a little excited and surprised.

"What you said is correct." Princess Changshou smiled and replied, "By the way, are you studying? I find it quite interesting to hear what you say."

"I'd like to invite a lady..."

The Lord of Pingyuan County is talking to Luo Mingxin here. Compared to his previous pride, the attitude of Lord Pingyuan County today is much kinder. Like Princess Hanshan, Luo Mingxin really chatted with her on many aspects.

Only Chen Xiuyan walked with Shen Rongshi, "I didn't hear my sister-in-law mention it before, but I found out after this year that An An was helped by the Crown Princess... Thank you very much."

Chen Xiuyan smiled and said a few words modestly, but she lamented in her heart. More and more people in the capital knew that they had medical skills. The story of rescuing Princess Xianrui in the palace that day must have spread, so the Rongguo Palace

I will tell Mr. Shen Rong about this.

Lunch started at 3:30 noon. The two chefs cooked it and Chen Xiuyan and others ate it.

"The country of Tatar is colder than the capital. Chinese people prefer to eat meat, and there are many cattle and sheep. Roasted whole lamb is one of its famous specialties. Chef Tu's specialty is roasted whole lamb." Princess Hanshan introduced with a smile.

The roasted whole lamb smeared with sauce on the charcoal rack soon began to smell fragrant. When the skin was golden and crispy, Chef Tu began to slice the lamb, one plate at a time, and soon it was sent to Chen Xiuyan and others to watch.

Just like the roast duck, the roasted whole lamb should be eaten by tearing it into pieces to follow the local customs.

Although Chen Xiuyan thought so in her heart, she was not slow in using her chopsticks. The skiniest piece was the most delicious. Chen Xiuyan tasted it and her eyes shone slightly. It was tender and crispy. The skin was crispy but the inside was tender and smooth. The mutton itself

The smell of mutton was neutralized a lot by the sauce, but some of it still remained. It was not unpleasant, but on the contrary, it was very fragrant.

Unconsciously, after three yuan, Chen Xiuyan put down her chopsticks and took a sip of kumiss, which is also a Tatar specialty. This was a reward from the palace to Princess Hanshan.

"How do you feel about your beauty?" Princess Hanshan asked with a smile.

"The cooking skills of a chef who can be recognized by the princess and invited into the palace are really extraordinary." Chen Xiuyan began to boast, "Originally, I was worried that Wenshui marrying a Tatar would make people worry that she would not be able to eat well, but now

With the help of the princess, I feel less worried."

"When the time comes, we will marry a few cooks from the Chu Kingdom and change their tastes. We can rest assured that we are far away in the capital."

Princess Hanshan agreed with a smile, "Xiuyan and I thought we would go together. Pingyuan grew up in the capital, and the taste is from here. Although the dishes of Annan are also biased towards those of Chu, they are still different from those in the capital."

"I heard that they have a lot of kinds of fruits there, which is good, but the ingredients seem to be more fish and shrimp than meat. Chef Geng's specialty is sugarcane shrimp, which is a kind of shrimp with Annan fruits added.

A practice.”

Chen Xiuyan is very familiar with sugar cane, but she has never eaten it since she came here.

"Today we will take advantage of the princess and the Lord of Pingyuan County and try this dish." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile.

The roasted shrimps are sugary in color and are sweet and fresh in one bite. The shrimp shells are crispy and hot in the mouth, with the sweetness of sugar cane. The shrimp meat is fresh and smooth. When mixed with the sauce on the shell, it has a unique taste.
