son-in-law

Chapter 599 The tune at that time
As dusk approached, in the courtyard of Ning Mansion, an iron shelf was erected, and a group of people were busy working together, some preparing charcoal fire, others preparing ingredients.Ning Xi, who was taken by Juan'er, was tying a chicken wing with an iron fork under the eaves. Wen Fang Wending, who had just returned from outside, rolled up her sleeves and joined the army preparing for the barbecue with a smile.

Before the Wu Dynasty, since iron pots were not popular, and the method of cooking food did not appear, most of the cooking systems were stewing or roasting.The main difference between Ning's barbecue is that most of the diners have to do it by themselves. Of course, most of the ingredients will be marinated by the chef. Most of the roasting process has to be done by yourself. In addition, meat and other items are mostly luxury goods in ordinary people. Ning Yi never tires of eating, and all kinds of treatments make the food at home taste quite prominent.In the past, I occasionally heard that the Ning family was doing barbecues, and it seemed that people would come over to join in the fun.

Even in the Ning Mansion, this opportunity to eat unlimited meat would only appear occasionally after Ning Yi's order.Under normal circumstances, even if the family is already very rich, it is necessary to have a frugal attitude when running the house.Similar to Cai Jing and other people's extremity, the kitchen that serves one person's food is bigger than the five-star hotel of later generations, and it is not impossible for Ning Yi to do things like eating the tongues of a hundred chickens in one dish. , but that kind of thing is indeed too low-level in his eyes.And people who come out of that environment are basically rotten to the core.

On the other hand, most of the aristocratic families in the capital now have many elders in charge, and they have to behave in a dignified manner. If it weren't for a family like Ning Yi today, it would usually be difficult for everyone to play together without any image.

At night, large and small lanterns were hung under the eaves in the courtyard, and the charcoal fire on the shelf was ready. Wen Ding and others also brought in all kinds of wine, fruit and juice from outside.

Little Ning Xi, who was more than two years old, was holding his small glass of juice and shouting "I want wings", and over the charcoal fire, she supervised the cook to roast his selected wings until they were charred on the outside and tender on the inside.As the eldest son of Ning Yi, he is actually a bit pitiful. Juice is limited, and only one cup can be drunk. If he finishes drinking, he can only ask his uncle and uncle secretly for it, and sometimes he will be scolded for food such as wings and barbecue. It also has to be approved. Seasonal fruits and vegetables can be eaten all the time, but how can that kind of thing taste as good as squeezed juice...

In fact, even the limited amount of wings and grilled meat, little Ning Xi with a small mouth and a small belly can't finish it, but for example, he likes to drink juice, but he can't open his stomach to drink until he is full, so he will feel very depressed. , I didn't have one of the delicious little wings after eating, and I was really upset.His parents occasionally gave him some vegetables he didn't want to eat for him to eat.

Being happy is naturally very happy, but for him at this age, I am afraid that there will inevitably be a feeling of not being 100% satisfied.Of course, it is difficult for him now to generalize this matter. After being told by his parents, after eating the vegetable leaves with a bitter face, he continued to show off his cuteness and beg for juice without heart.

This kind of thing is mainly due to Ning Yi's educational philosophy.For him, the most important quality of a man is temperance. Although he also wants his children to live happily, 100% happiness is by no means what a child—especially a boy—needs.Rather, absolute happiness is something that should be avoided when a child grows up. Otherwise, it will be difficult for this child to become a real man in the future.

Fortunately, Xiao Ningxi was quite obedient at this time, and Su Tan'er, her biological mother, would be stricter than Ning Yi in this regard.Otherwise, the child will probably be made to cry all day long by Ning Yi.

However, at this time, as a mother, Su Tan'er was worried about other things.

"If it's bigger...you think Xi'er will look too weak, look at him like that, he doesn't have any courage..."

The young woman, the mistress of the house, sat on the steps of the pavilion behind Ning Yi, looking at the children on the other side of the yard from a distance, with some pity and some worry.Ning Yi was sitting on the stone in front of him roasting chicken wings, looking over there, it was the scene of Ning Xi secretly beside Su Wenfang asking for juice.

Only a two-year-old child surreptitiously asked Su Wenfang to taste the new juice behind the pillar. After taking a sip, he clearly showed a "delicious" look of happiness, but he did not dare to take another sip, obviously because he was afraid of his parents. Will scold, holding his own small cup, sip while walking away.

"A child who is just over two years old, you can be content with being so obedient. If he has the courage now, he will be making trouble with us all day long, and you will not have a headache by then."

Ning Yi tilted his head with a smile, and touched his wife beside him. Tan'er stroked the sideburns hanging down on one side of his cheek, and then swayed there and bumped Ning Yi lightly.I just heard Ning Yi shouting: "Who wants chicken wings, who wants chicken wings, get tofu and fish in exchange!"

The surroundings suddenly became lively, and Jin'er rushed over from the side: "I have baked steamed buns."

"Whoever wants steamed buns, don't want steamed buns, you can exchange them with others."

"I want this string... and this string..."

"Force buy and sell, you... this string is the biggest, you take it away and I'm in a hurry, and your steamed bun looks like... Hey..."

Jin Er proudly snatched the chicken wings, and when passing by Ning Xi, she crouched down and tore a small piece of meat for the child to eat.Ning Xi chewed and swallowed, holding up the half chicken wing left in her hand and said, "Mine is better." He only had one chicken wing, so he let the best cook in the family bake it. Compared with Ning Yi's craftsmanship, it is naturally much better.

Yunzhu came from there with a few bowls of wine on a plate and gave Jin'er a bowl. When he arrived here, he handed a bowl to Tan'er and another to Ning Yi. He saw the charcoal fire rising and looked at the things above : "What do we have?"

"Jin'er's steamed buns, the fish and tofu in exchange, why do I think I should process it myself before eating. I can't trust the craftsmanship of these animals... But you can eat Jin'er's steamed buns first, they're almost burnt."

"I don't want it." Yunzhu took a few sips of rice wine and smiled slightly, "Where's the chicken wings?"

"All of them were replaced. The last one was done by Su Wending's wife. I can remember this hatred for a month."

After the people of the Su family came to the capital, the scale of their relatives also increased, including their daughter-in-law and concubines. Now in the capital, the scale of the house is not enough for each family to have a single house. And happy.Ning Yi is the man at the helm of the mansion, and ordinary relatives, young daughters-in-law and the like still dare not be too presumptuous in front of him, just now Ning Yi said to change chicken wings, but the other party came over timidly, and changed the wings in a proper manner. , I didn't expect Ning Yi to say such a thing, and some of the women beside Su Wending's wife laughed, Su Wending's wife also blushed, turned around and defended timidly: "It was obviously my brother-in-law who asked me to change it."

Tan'er smiled and walked to the side, brought two strings of wings, put them on the fire, and said, "Yunzhu, I'll bake it for you, but you have to play a tune in exchange."

Yunzhu laughed: "What does Tan'er want to hear?"

""General Order"."

"Well...it's really embarrassing..."

Yunzhu frowned and rolled her eyes at her, then carried the zither to the pavilion.This "General's Order" was originally a military music, and it was a song for entering the battle, which was incompatible with Yunzhu's soft style.However, as long as it is related to the music, it is not difficult for Yunzhu. As the first sound of the music is pressed down, a deep and shocking sound rang out.

The sound of the guzheng is ethereal. As the music started, the lyrics of the song "General's Order" also came out from her lips. It wasn't a shout, but it seemed to be read softly. all got up.

"The long wind is plugged in, and the flute is cool.

The sun sets in the desert, and the waning moon is in the sky.

Listen to the camel bell day and night, and follow your dreams into your hometown..."

The impassionedness of the military music is hidden under the ethereal appearance. As the music becomes more intense and the lyrics appear, the atmosphere of the whole music becomes more and more empty in the courtyard. Everything is like a story hidden in the long river of history. Huge waves and sand were rolled up between the woman's remarks.Yunzhu's quyi skills are not the first time everyone has seen it, so it's not surprising, but everyone is quiet.

Tan'er sat next to Ning Yi, smiling and roasting chicken wings.

"Three-foot Qingfeng in his hand, and six letters from the family beside his pillow.

Destined to cut the head of the enemy general, after watching the tears wither.

Report to the court!Who is listening..."

The revised military song had a calming atmosphere, and it seemed like he was listening to countless stories. After singing, even Ning Xi applauded.After all, these skills were her previous experience as a brothel girl. Apart from Ning Yi being able to speak freely, Tan'er would not make such requests easily on weekdays, but soon after, Yunzhu performed two more songs for everyone to listen to.Today, she is no longer grumpy about this, and she can be happy by Ning Yi's side when she sees the happiness of her family.

As for Jin'er, the dance she is good at is body language after all, which is relatively charming. Except for performing in front of Ning Yi, or communicating with some female relatives, teaching them a few movements, facing Wen Ding Wenfang and others, after all, she is Not suitable for performance.

Such gatherings and celebrations were not uncommon in the days that followed.Aside from going to the Prime Minister's Mansion when necessary, most of the time, Ning Yi handles things at home.There are many things that need to be dealt with, but he does not need to run around in person on specific matters. The basic routine of Zhuji's operation has already been formed. From this autumn, Ning Yi is also remotely improving the operation of Zhuji. Metabolism, efficiency of operation and hematopoietic function, mechanisms of supervision and immunity.

Even for Ning Yi, the whole thing was a strange and novel attempt.After the expansion of Zhuji due to the limitation of communication ability, the response ability of the central core is not enough. It is difficult to limit the loss of manpower and the friction in operation by relying on rules and regulations alone. At that time, for such a large stall, the control over other places will inevitably weaken.

Even if the intelligence system of the Secret Investigation Division can be used as an aid, the problems that will arise around Ning Yi are still extremely complicated.The accumulation of bits and pieces of piles and piles cannot be solved only by the system but only by the system and operation mode.For the entire winter that followed, Ning Yi devoted almost all his energy to the outside world, and except for Su Tan'er, who was able to communicate occasionally by his side, these things were insignificant to outsiders.

And most of the time, he is still enjoying the warmth of home.Since having a child and supporting the family together with Ning Yi, the power displayed by Su Tan'er has become stronger and stronger.Of course, this kind of power is not an external edge. Relatively speaking, Tan'er, who just married Ning Yi, has a more exposed edge, but that edge also has a green feeling.At this time, as a mother, she looks young in Ning Yi's eyes, but while her appearance is softer, her existence is also more difficult to ignore. She can find a solution.Although the outside is more mellow and soft, the maids and servants in the family are most in awe of this mistress. This is a fact that cannot be ignored.

Only in front of Ning Yi will Tan'er return to the girl who was chatting and dreaming in Jiangning's small building. In the night when the weather is getting colder and even the moonlight is getting colder, Tan'er will be by his side. Curled up like a baby.She sometimes bit her teeth between her lips and frowned slightly in her sleep. Ning Yi reached out and tried to smooth out the wrinkles.

In a sense, as a wife, Tan'er has carried many things that belonged to him.After accompanying Ning Yi to Bianliang, Tan'er, who was originally quite qualified, matured more quickly. She took care of the family's worries for Ning Yi, and even in some respects, was able to support Ning Yi's life in Zhuji. Operate, negotiate with him about various things.This kind of maturity will not come without a price, and what it shows on the outside is that she is still young, and in the midst of her softening, she can give others a huge pressure.

And the frown in this baby-like sleep.

One night, Ning Yi jokingly said to her, "I'm worried that one day you will become a woman as powerful as Lu Zhi..."

The woman lying naked in Ning Yi's arms just smiled clearly and felt his presence: "As long as Liheng you are by my side, it will never happen."

Sometimes, she would also go to Yunzhu to rest, which was a habit formed when Ning Yi was not at home earlier.

Of course, not to mention lilies...
