The Imperial Concubine Chef - C99
The 29th of December was the third day in a year that Su Mei would never forget. This year, she had experienced too many things. The first was her mother’s death, and the second was that her brother had sold her out. The third was to know that Hu Zi and Young Master were actually not Hu Zi and Young Master, but rather Sister Hu Ya and Young Miss.
Actually, the current Su Mei had not considered whether or not she had fallen for the Hu Zi. Therefore, this matter had been explained in a timely manner. But even so, it took her a long time to digest. But after that, she swore to Su Wenlan that she would definitely not tell anyone about these things. Never.
Su Wenlan knew that Su Mei was a good girl. Therefore, whatever she could tell Su Mei, she had also told him why she had taken her daughter far away from home, and why she had hidden herself and disguised herself as a woman. Su Mei was already in tears after hearing it. She had never thought that there would be someone more miserable than herself in this world. Such a person was his current master.
“Madam. You and Miss are too bitter. ” Su Mei dried her eyes as she felt extremely sad.
Su Wenlan’s eyes had also turned red. But she would not cry now, as she had when she first left home. Although she was still feeling pain and depression, she could still think rationally. “They’re much better than they used to be.” That’s all in the past. The days in the future became better and better, and the hardships of the past could no longer be considered bitter. “However, in order to prevent the truth from being revealed, it’s better not to change the way they are addressed.”
Su Mei nodded: “Mn. I remember. However, Madam … Young master, it can’t be done for long, can it? She was ten years old this year. “In a few more years …”
Su Wenlan let out a long sigh, “Xinyu said that she doesn’t want to get married. In the future, she would adopt a few children who had no parents or parents. Although I as a mother more hope that she can find her own happiness. But I can’t say now that a man can give a woman happiness. ‘Aberry, when you find your wife in the future, you have to be very careful. “It’s fine if you look like you have a family background, but it’s important if you truly treat you with sincerity.
Su Mei laughed bitterly, “My impression of my father from a young age was to hit my mother when there’s nothing important to do. He was also very fond of me. I used to think, at least, that I had a good brother. But in the end, it was my good brother who saw my sister-in-law force my mother to death and even sold me out. If the two closest men in the world are like this, what else can I expect from the outside world? Me. Just guard you and the young master for the rest of your life. “At least she was quietly happy.
“Su Wenlan took Su Mei’s hand in pain and gently patted it. Poor child. Even though we used to have a hard time. But it was not certain that she would never be happy again. I had no hope. But you are different. You still have a lifetime ahead of you. Don’t be discouraged so early. There are good men, it depends on whether the heavens give us this fate or not. If there really is no good person, how can Xinyu and I leave in peace? ”
“Yes.” Madame, you are right. I don’t want to think about it either. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. There’s a lot to prepare for today. I’ll go back to my work. ”
Su Wenlan nodded: “Mn. You go. But soon the two of us will do all the needlework in the house. In the first month of the month, needlework is not allowed. ”
Coming out of Madame’s bedroom. Su Mei was still a little dizzy. Seeing the Hu Zi in the courtyard, beating the blanket that was hanging up to dry, suddenly changed from thinking that it was funny to being unable to look at it directly. Take it easy, too. This posture is so indecent. ”
Hu Ya knew what the Madam had told Su Mei earlier, so she also knew what the word “disgraceful” meant. It’s not elegant at all. As long as I have the time, I will be more serious when I fight all the way to those people who are causing trouble in the future. ”
Actually, during this period of setting up the stall, because their family business was too good, a few people had come over to cause trouble. At that time, Hu Ya had beaten that group of people up to a point where they were crying for their parents. “Now that I have started practicing martial arts, I will be safer in the future.” I can’t say anything about you. “To the kitchen.”
The days had not changed one bit because Su Mei found out about Su Xinyu’s and Hu Ya’s gender. But because they knew that they were both women, they got closer to each other. This time, Hu Ya was able to hug Su Mei’s shoulders. There were only four women in the house, so she no longer had to worry about what women said to each other.
However, on the second day, Su Mei went on the “flail” again, because the followers of cousin young master and cousin young master had arrived.
Su Xinyu never thought that Wen Ling would come so early. However, thinking about how this person hadn’t spent New Year’s Eve with his relatives for so many years, he probably wanted to make things more lively. Therefore, after she secretly told his mother about this situation, Su Wenlan’s heart also ached. For such a good child to be treated in such a manner by her family, the old master and her stepwife had truly gone too far.
Now that Su Wenlan had changed from her reserved attitude from before, today, she was truly like an aunt, who would say a few words of concern to Shangguan Lin for him. How was the food, how was the drink, how was the clothing warm, how was the sleep sweet. Shangguan Lin had never heard these words from his mother before. So to him, everything was fresh and warm.
Su Xinyu stood outside the door, watching Wen Ling quietly sit beside his mother with a smile on his face that could not be felt, her heart softened. No matter what, at least his home gave Wen Ling a warm New Year’s Eve.
The New Year’s Eve dinner on New Year’s Eve was naturally the most sumptuous meal of the year. Because there were two people at home today, Su Xinyu brought out a certain standard of food, and also stealthily brought out a lot of the ingredients in her spatial storage to trade with the ingredients Hu Ya and Su Mei bought for him.
The ten dishes were perfect. Each of them had a golden red bowl of borscht. It meant that they would be able to suddenly make a fortune. And these were all ordinary. Su Xinyu had even specially made a Wandering Dragon Dumplings for Shangguan Lin. The dough wrapper made of kumquat was crystal clear, and the stuffing made of shrimp, sea cucumber, Yao Zhu and good pork was clearly visible. The dumplings were made into a dragon shape and occupied the cage. In front of the dragon’s head was a copper shaped pumpkin pumpkin pancake. It was both nice and good that the pot came out.
Seeing this dragon, Shangguan Lin took a deep breath. “He thought Su Xinyu had discovered his identity. Why would you want to become a dragon? ”
Su Xinyu laughed: “Hey, the name comes out that way, but how is this a dragon, I don’t have the guts to make five claw golden dragons. Ordinary people like us don’t have the guts. You are only a noble family, how unlucky would it be to let you eat a five-clawed Golden Dragon. This was a Flood Dragon that had yet to fly into the sky. This is to wish you all success in this battle! ”
Hearing that, Su Xinyu knew that she did not doubt her identity. Shangguan Lin let out a long sigh. So it was like this. “You gave me a fright.”
Su Xinyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Am I that stupid?”
Shangguan Lin laughed. I’m the fool. ”
Xiao Tong, who was at the side, covered his mouth and laughed. His own Fifth Master was really screwed up. However, with a single glance, he could tell that this Dragon-Dumpling was very delicious. Unfortunately, he couldn’t eat it.
Although Su Xinyu had made a set of Dragon-shaped Dumplings, there were quite a few ordinary looking Crystal Dumplings mixed in with the same leather-like stuffing.
These materials were all high-grade goods, adding Su Xinyu’s superb cooking skills, it was natural that they would taste extremely good. Su Xinyu even prepared a box for Hu Ya to give to Yi Niang after they finished eating. She had just taken her in as her master a few days ago, and it was the new year again. There was no way that etiquette could be lacking.
The New Year’s Eve meals were all eaten in the afternoon. After eating, Hu Ya ran over to send off the dumplings. The others sat in the hall and chatted. In the morning, Shangguan Lin was the only one talking to Su Wenlan. Just then, Xiao Tong opened her mouth. He had grown up in the palace and had seen and heard a lot. Later on, he went to the palace with his master to avoid disaster, and also came into contact with many interesting people and things. Thus, he picked the ones he picked up, tampered with a few backgrounds and names, and told a story.
Seeing that Su Xinyu was also engrossed, Shangguan Lin did not stop him from talking. You know. If anyone found out that this servant was talking about his master, it would be a crime that would lead to his death.
“You all must have never thought that there would be such a domineering and unruly woman in this world. The main wife was already very gentle and magnanimous, she did not intend to pursue the matter of her framing the third wife. But the old master doesn’t know. In the end, the third wife still died with grievances. After that, the Second Madam did not intend to stop. She planned to deal with the Fourth Madam, the eldest wife’s younger sister. ”
Su Wenlan was really nervous when she heard it. Did something happen to the Fourth Lady and the Main Lady? ”
Xiao Tong sighed: “With Fourth Wife’s blessing, she managed to escape Second Wife’s framing. However, the main wife had lost her life in the end. “It’s a pity that Second Madam became his stepwife. It really is infuriating.”
Su Xinyu immediately guessed that this was probably Wen Ling’s family matter. Although Wen Ling did not stop him. But Su Xinyu still could not bear to have him keep listening. Thus, he pulled on Shangguan Lin’s clothes. Ling Ge, I have something to give you. “Come out with me for a bit.”
Shangguan Lin didn’t know what Su Xinyu’s intentions were, but since he said that he had something to give him, he was very curious. Thus, the two of them left the hall together. Under Su Xinyu’s lead, they directly arrived at her room.
This was also the first time Shangguan Lin came close to a woman’s room. Ever since he was young, he had mostly lived a life of self-deception, suffering from poisons when he was a few years old. Since the age of ten, he had been traveling several kilometers outside the palace. In his mother’s heart, there was only his direct brother, and in her father’s eyes, there was no trace of him. His stepmother only wanted all of his sons to die early. He really didn’t even hold the woman’s hand. “Therefore, this first time, he was a bit nervous.” Your room? ”
Su Xinyu nodded. “Yeah.” Only after answering did she realize what had happened. In this world, men and women were not allowed to be intimate with each other. It was taboo for men to enter a woman’s room. “But it’s already like this, she can’t just push people out right?” Why are you so nervous? I’m your cousin now. ”
Shangguan Lin was a little at a loss whether to laugh or cry in response to a girl’s words. “Fine, fine, fine. You’re a cousin.”
This kind of tone of coaxing a child instantly made Su Xinyu speechless. Elder sister is obviously a lot older than you! At least… “In my previous life …” I have some pills and powder here. It was made according to the method Master gave me. There weren’t many pills, but they were meant for strengthening the body. If you eat one every day and consume it with yellow wine, it will be beneficial to those of you who practice martial arts. These powders are used to stop bleeding and reduce blood stasis. You stay by your side and use them. If you think the effect is not bad, I will do it again in the future. “
