Forsythia came with cakes and tea, and Hongdou hurried up to help: "Sister Forsythia, let me do it!"
Forsythia handed the things to Hongdou, and then said with a smile: "The prince said that the lady is from the south of the Yangtze River, so I prepared some pastries unique to the south of the Yangtze River. The lotus roots in this season are especially glutinous, so I asked someone to prepare some glutinous rice and osmanthus lotus roots.
, the cooking time is a little longer, making the lady wait for a long time!"
"No, we have just packed up our things!" Chengchun said with a smile, and then said to Forsythia, "It's hard work for you to still look after us!"
Forsythia smiled: "Madam, you are joking, this is what we should do! By the way, the Crown Prince and Mr. Su are going to have a few drinks. Mr. Su asked me to tell Madam that you should go to the hot springs to treat your body.
There are benefits!”
Chengchun responded with a smile: "Please tell our father that I understand, so he doesn't need to take care of me. I will take care of myself!"
Forsythia smiled and agreed, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered: "By the way, madam, if you want to go to the hot spring, you must eat something first, don't eat too little, and don't eat too full!"
"Okay, I understand!" Chengchun agreed with a smile.
As soon as Forsythia left, Chengchun and Hongdou sat down. The pastries in front of them were particularly exquisite, and Forsythia prepared two portions very carefully. The two of them had been running all the way today, and they were actually somewhat hungry. Looking at such exquisite cakes in front of them,
I can't help but move my index finger over the pastries.
Chengchun picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root and put it in her mouth. It was soft and sweet, just like the taste in her memory.
In fact, in order to grow up, Su Xubai also specially found a cook who could cook Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine in his house. However, probably because of his poor self-taught, the taste was always a little worse, either too sweet or too salty, and
The glutinous rice lotus root on this chopstick is just right sweet and soft.
"It's so delicious!" Hongdou couldn't help but exclaimed, "Since arriving in the capital, I haven't eaten such sweet glutinous rice and lotus root for a long time! This cook must be a serious Jiangnan person!"
"It's really delicious!" Cheng Chun couldn't help but praise, "The lotus root is very sweet and has a glutinous texture. The chefs here are very good at cooking!"
"No, I heard that the best cooks raised here are those who can go to the capital to prepare royal meals." Hongdou's eyes were shining when she spoke, "This old lady of the Yongchang Hou family used to
He is really a legend. He can go to the battlefield and protect the court. Compared to the old Marquis, he has not given in at all!"
Chengchun listened and suddenly became curious: "Do you also know about this old lady? I have never heard of it. Tell me about it!"
"My lady, haven't you heard about the old lady?" Hongdou was a little surprised, "The old lady was a well-known female general back then, and she even wrote many operas based on her. My lady has never seen or heard of it.
?”
Cheng Chun shook his head: "I rarely go to the theater. To go to the theater, you have to pay money, and a cup of tea in the theater costs one tael of silver. How could I have the money to go to these plays at that time!"
"Ah..." Hongdou thought about it, "This Mrs. Yongchang Hou is also the biological sister of the old Marquis of Ningyuan. When she was young, she had the appearance of someone who would conquer the country, but she didn't like Hongzhuang.
Armed, the war was urgent, and his father, his brother, and his husband all disappeared. With a sad heart, he took command alone and fought to the border, defeating the enemy. Not to mention how powerful he was.
Got it!"
Cheng Chun listened with great admiration: "This old lady must be a legend!"
"Yes, even today's Holy Emperor has to give her a bit of love!" Hongdou said with admiration on his face, "The Yongchang Marquis Mansion has endured for a long time, and it can be regarded as the most prestigious dignitary in the capital. I really owe a lot to this person.
Old madam, after all, when she married the old prince, there was only a widowed lady and the young old prince in the prince's house!"
"Such a woman can be recorded in the annals of history!" Cheng Chun exclaimed, "How amazing!"
"Yes, I have heard her story when I was very young. She is a woman who is not half weaker than a man. She can be considered a legend!" Hongdou said, taking a sip of Leicha, "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Chengchun was a little confused.
"The taste of this Leicha is very special!" Hongdou said, pushing another bowl of Leicha in front of Chengchun, "I want you to try it, ma'am!"
Chengchun took a sip of Leicha, and then said: "Didn't the mung beans be put in, and it seems that red beans were replaced!"
"Yes, there are no mung beans! And it seems that some milk has been added, which makes the taste much smoother!" Hong Dou's eyes lit up.
"I quite like the taste of this!" Chengchun said with a smile, "The taste of the food in this courtyard is very suitable for me, I like it!"
The red beans are a bit unaccustomed to eating, so I added a little bit of beef to the eight-treasure milk tea. Although it tastes smoother, it also has a little more milky taste. The red beans really don't like the taste, so I put it aside.
Didn't eat much.
When they were almost done eating, Chengchun and Anko got up to go to the hot springs. Anko was especially excited and kept chattering along the way.
As the saying goes, extreme joy brings sorrow, and then I bumped into someone at the intersection of hot springs.
Hongdou, you didn't see clearly who you bumped into, so you lowered your head and apologized.
In the end, the other party looked at Hongdou carefully: "Have I seen you somewhere?"
Hongdou came back to her senses at this time, and slowly raised her head to look at the woman in front of her. After a while, she finally remembered: "You were the girl who held the umbrella for me next to the prince that day."
The woman also thought about it: "Yes, that day you sat in the rain crying, and then ran away with Meng Shaoqing, saying you were going to save someone. How is your master?"
Hongdou glanced at Chengchun next to him, and then his face was full of gratitude: "I have to thank you girl every day. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met the prince, and I wouldn't have been able to find the fifth master!"
The woman followed Hong Dou's gaze and saw Cheng Chun beside her: "You must be Su Wu's little wife!"
"Girl!" Cheng Chun lowered his head and saluted.
The woman smiled, looked at Cheng Chun carefully, and then said with a smile: "If you are so good-looking, no wonder Su Wu, an old bachelor who is not a womanizer, has moved your heart!"
Chengchun didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Before I met you, Su Wu was famous for not being flirtatious with women. Many people thought he was a cut-off man, but he didn't expect to bring you back so soon!" the woman said with a smile, "you are so delicate and gorgeous.
, No wonder you can let such a man who is not a human being fall from the altar!"
