A steaming hot pot in winter is the best enjoyment for Ye An. Seeing the pancakes in front of him piled with various meat slices and thick cheese covering them to create an attractive color, Chen Lin was curious
Looking at this food that I had never seen before and with a fragrant milky aroma, I didn’t know how to take off my chopsticks.
Ye An picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It was a little sweet and a little fragrant.
"You put a lot of effort into making this pizza, right? It's good to make some fruit in the summer, but hot pot is better in the winter."
Qin Mumu rolled her eyes: "If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it! The beggar still thinks the rice is sour?! I will send a portion to the empress, and the official and the empress will be very happy!"
Chen Lin, who was holding out her chopsticks, struggled to pick up a piece and said, "That's it! You kid doesn't know how to feel sorry for others. Everything Mu Mu makes is delicious. Which woman can have her skills? Hehe... then...
It is a blessing that has been cultivated for eight generations!"
Ye An rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Old man, please don't add insult to injury! I didn't say that my wife is not good, I just want to have a bite of hot pot..."
"Then eat your hot pot!" Qin Mumu snorted dissatisfied, and then went into the small kitchen and brought out a lot of food, including toasted soft bread, golden egg tarts, smoked sausages, and even butter.
cake.
Seeing this scene, Ye An suddenly came to his senses and wished he could give himself a slap. He remembered that today was a particularly important day, the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Mu Mu's birthday. For this reason, she even used a homemade
oven.
Well, the sense of ritual is also indispensable. Ye An now understands women's sensibilities better, so he gave up the plan of making hot pot alone.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~~~~~"
A slightly off-key birthday song instantly wiped away all the gloom on Qin Mumu's face. She looked at Ye An with a smile and said, "What about my birthday gift?"
Ye An smiled bitterly and said: "You should have found it, right? It's hidden in the secret compartment under the seat cushion in the carriage. You have been making bullock carts longer than me, so you should have found it, right?"
Qin Mumu snorted: "You still have some conscience, but you are quite original!" After saying that, she raised the small box in her hand and opened it gently. The tinkling sound like spring water turned into a brisk tune, and a
The little wooden figure looks like a scholar, circling around the center while bowing his hands in a playful manner.
"Is this you?"
"What do you think?"
"It's quite similar to that. You studied with a carpenter in Liangzhou Prefecture for a long time, right? Hehe, I'll accept it then!"
Qin Mumu's girl-like smile made everyone envious. Chen Lin looked at Ye An and didn't expect this kid to have such a young mind.
After being with him for a long time, I always feel that he is like a twilight old man who has seen through the world. He has long lost the affection of a young man, and it showed today.
Since it is Qin Mumu's birthday party, except for Chen Lin, Tieniu, Wang Bang and their wives have all been invited. Wang Guo will always look like a girl in a boudoir. Even after marrying Wang Bang, she is still full of emotions.
She has the reserve of a young girl, but lacks the ability and openness of Mrs. Tie Zhang.
The three Hou family members were also invited. The old man disliked his age and was too embarrassed to come, so he declined. As a result, the table was already filled with members of the Yunzhong County Marquis.
While Hou San was eating food he had never eaten before, he planned to report to Ye An about the situation of Hou Mansion and Puhui Company. Ye An waved his hand indifferently: "I have already checked the business affairs, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Question, just take a rest! Don't always neglect your family. I know that you rarely go home this year and mostly live in sugar shops. What? The Marquis Mansion in Xinlingfang can't accommodate you.
Already?!"
Hou San rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said: "The master is not at home, so it makes sense for the female family members to live in the house. But Hou San doesn't come to stay often, so there are still some taboos."
Ye An sneered. This kid has a small courtyard outside. I heard that he has raised a girl. Do you really think you don't know? He has kindly reminded him that if he does it again, Qin Mumu will definitely kick him out. This is not the case.
joke.
Sure enough, when Hou San felt guilty, he saw Qin Mumu's cold expression, and his heart tightened instantly. How could he not know that the county monarch disliked certain things? He had raised a baby outside, and it seemed that the county monarch already knew about it.
Xuan'er, on the other hand, was talking to Qin Mumu. She was probably the person who knew the most about everything in the Hou family. Even though she was hanging around Ye An and Qin Mumu all day long, she actually knew the most.
The people in the Hou Mansion and everything in the Hou Mansion cannot escape her eyes.
Xuan'er had already told Mrs. Hou, but Mrs. Hou didn't react so violently. She knew that Mr. Hou had reminded Hou San and that he was more gentle to her now.
In fact, he had known for a long time that he had raised a small courtyard outside, but it didn't matter. If he didn't bring it back, it meant that he still felt sorry for him and didn't want another woman to appear in his home. But with the Marquis and his wife here, he would only
Be more restrained. It’s nothing if a man raises a little one outside, right?
It is said that even the Marquis is not familiar with the Hu Shang women in the Western Regions outside. What does it mean for Hou San to have a small room outside?
Ye An and Qin Mumu didn't know what Hou was thinking, otherwise Ye An would have to eat "paitou".
The new food makes everyone full and full. Sweets were a kind of luxury in ancient times, and sweets can also bring people a sense of satisfaction and happiness.
Many unhappy things were resolved in the atmosphere of the cream cake. Ye An understood Hou San and knew the reason why he did this, but he still gave a reminder. After all, he did not want Hou San to be kicked out by Qin Mumu.
The Hou family would definitely not want to see the door of their house like this.
However, starting from the meal, Qin Mumu and Xuan'er looked at him differently. Mrs. Hou seemed to have said something to them at the table. Anyway, the looks in their eyes made him tremble...
Chen Lin was sitting under the big locust tree. All the leaves on the branches had fallen off, but he was still accustomed to raising his head and looking at the sun through the branches.
"When do you plan to have a child? Don't think that a certain family is a baby. You obviously can have a child, but you use some means? Why, is having a child so difficult for you?"
Ye An looked at Chen Lin in surprise and smiled helplessly. Thinking about it, no one knows more about contraception through some means than him, an old eunuch.
Ye An followed Chen Lin's example and looked at the sky, and said helplessly: "Now is not the time! I can't let my child have fear for the future after he comes into this world, right?"
"What do you mean?"
Ye An did not explain, but looked at Chen Lin and said: "Do you know that Zhang Qi went to the sage to attack our Xi Lie Army and Huaiyuan Army?"
"Of course... I know this. Don't blame Zhang Qi for raising the issue. You are doing too well as a military commander. You always treat others like trash. People also want face, so they naturally judge their superiority based on their military merits.
The Privy Council wants to restrain the border troops, but it cannot go astray, right?"
Ye An shook his head: "No, I don't care about Zhang Qi. What I care about is Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng. How did they join forces?"
"Huh?!" Chen Lin's expression changed. In his opinion, it was impossible for the two of them to join forces, but Ye An said so firmly!
