The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

The breakfast in Chengke County Prince's Mansion is very rich. This does not mean that there are many kinds, but that the portions are full.This is all because Zhuang Ye and his son both belong to the kind of people who eat a lot, and Daiyu finds it very novel when they eat.

Daiyu was very restrained at first, afraid that she would make a joke if she didn't understand the etiquette of the palace, but she couldn't learn Zhuang Yu's actions at all, and even felt that if she imitated Zhuang Yu, it would be a joke.

Zhuang Ye and Zhuang Yu have to practice martial arts every day, which consumes a lot of energy, so they naturally eat a lot.And they are not picky eaters, as long as the food is delicious and full, whether there are eighteen processes in the middle, they can't eat it at all, and they don't care.Even Qiu Qingyu often joked that their father and son were rough people chewing peonies.

Daiyu looked at Zhuang Ye's mouthful of a soup dumpling, and Zhuang Yu's two mouthfuls of a soup dumpling, she couldn't help swallowing, and felt that the way the two of them ate was a little scary.Her father is a literati. Although the etiquette at the dinner table is not so complicated due to the small number of people in the family, it is also very refined. Have you ever seen this father and son eating?He obviously didn't go wrong with the rules, but he still made people feel very... heroic.

The situation in the county prince's mansion was influenced by Zhuang Ye.

Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu also grew up in rich clothes and fine food, but when Zhuang Ye was in the Northwest Army, he also shared the joys and sorrows with the officers and soldiers. He ate rough dry food and wore tough armor. Maybe he was born with He was engraved with the imprint of a soldier, and he didn't feel that kind of life was bitter at all. On the contrary, after returning to the capital, he felt unaccustomed to all kinds of overly refined lifestyles.

The most important thing is that when Zhuang Ye was trapped in the Yunjian Mountains, the entire army was short of food and water. In order to survive, what did he not eat?Rats, rabbits, and snakes can be considered delicious. Later, even grass roots and bark were swallowed whole. At that time, I really felt that if I could eat a bite of rice, it would be a wonderful thing.

Such a day, let alone princes and grandchildren, even the children of ordinary aristocratic families have never even imagined it.

It is precisely because of this experience that even though Chengke County Prince's Mansion did not live a thrifty life because of it, its attitude towards food has always insisted that it should not be wasted.

Affected by him, Qiu Qingyu and Zhuang Yu didn't have the habit of wasting food, so the food in Chengke County Prince's Mansion is the simplest and most practical among all the royal descendants, and it is generally a decent family. They have to live more extravagantly than Chengke County Prince's Mansion.

Daiyu had also heard Jia Min talk about her grandfather Jia's family since she was a child. She said that it was a wealthy family in the capital. , need to use more than a dozen chickens to match, but also go through many processes.Where is it like Chengke County Prince's Mansion, the breakfast is all ordinary food, and there is almost nothing left.

Seeing Daiyu staring at him in a daze, Zhuang Yu quickly took two soup dumplings for Daiyu, and urged her repeatedly: "Dai'er, eat quickly, you have to eat a lot to grow strong, you look so thin, If one day I was blown away by the wind, I might not be able to catch up."

Daiyu blushed when he said that, looking at her slender arms and legs, she was slightly distressed, but also a little upset. Although she was thin and small, she was not blown away by the wind—although her mother would not be blown away when the wind was strong. Just don't let her go outside to play, and she can't guarantee whether she won't be blown away.

Qiu Qingyu also personally brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge with rock sugar and red dates to feed her. Daiyu was startled, and hurriedly said: "Mother Concubine, Dai'er eats by herself."

Qiu Qingyu showed a slightly disappointed expression, and put the porridge bowl where Daiyu could easily find it.

Daiyu looked at the bowl of porridge and two soup dumplings in front of her, so she had no choice but to bury her head in eating hard, not caring about any rules or irregularities anymore.

Zhuang Yu saw that she had eaten the soup dumpling and was about to give it to her again, but was stopped by Qiu Qingyu. Daiyu didn't have much appetite, so it would be bad if she was full.Qiu Qingyu thought, maybe it's time to give Daiyu a good pulse and formulate a prescription to take care of her.Since the daughter-in-law here has entered the door, it is her responsibility, and she must take good care of her.

After breakfast, Zhuang Ye should go out to go to the government office. He usually goes out earlier, but today he is waiting for his son and daughter-in-law to salute, so it is rightly late.

Before leaving, Zhuang Ye followed Qiu Qingyu's instructions and took Zhuang Yu away with him.

Zhuang Yu protested, because of his marriage, he obviously had a half-month vacation.

However, Qiu Qingyu was busy cultivating a relationship with her daughter-in-law, and she didn't want Zhuang Yu to stick to her side at all, so she sent him back to study with the high-sounding reason of "learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat".

Naturally, Zhuang Ye obeyed the concubine's order, took Zhuang Yu out of the house, and watched him enter the palace before going to the government office triumphantly - he would be bullied by the future concubine when he was not a father. It's not very fair to be able to get bored with the little daughter-in-law.

Zhuang Yu was very angry, did he lose it after being used up?The mother and concubine are too good at crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, while the father is the best at throwing stones at people. As a son, he can only be bullied. It's really pitiful.

After sending away the father and son who got in the way, Qiu Qingyu was finally able to monopolize the little doll, so she cheerfully carried the little doll back to her room.

As early as Emperor Xuankang said he was married, Qiu Qingyu had prepared a lot of beautiful clothes and jewelry, just waiting to dress up the little baby well.

There is no little girl who does not like beautiful clothes and jewelry, but there are too many clothes and jewelry to try on, which makes people dazzled.

After all, Qiu Qingyu still had some sense of propriety, knowing that the little doll should not be too tired, so after trying on three or four sets of clothes, she gave up temporarily, anyway, the little doll would belong to her in the future, and she had plenty of time.

When it was time to go back to take a nap after lunch, the maids and mothers who followed behind Daiyu really came home with a lot of rewards.

Seeing Qiu Qingyu's attitude towards Daiyu, Mother Wang and Mother Wu were all filled with joy in their hearts.

Daiyu's life in Chengke County Prince's Mansion was not as trembling as she thought, it could be said to be extremely comfortable.

Three days passed quickly, and it was the day when Daiyu returned home.

Although the life in the county prince's mansion is also very comfortable, after all, this is the first time Daiyu has been away from her biological parents for such a long time. Hearing that she can go home to visit her parents and younger brother, she is very happy, and she is already looking forward to returning home.

Jia Min had been looking forward to her daughter's return early on. Although Lin Hai was sitting upright, his movement of stroking the teacup from time to time also revealed his inner expectation, and Lin Ji ran back and forth fussing: "Sister, why don't you come back?" Didn't come back?" That day when my sister got married, he was taken away by the nanny, and when he got the news, his sister had already been snatched away by someone else, no matter how much he acted like a spoiled child, he couldn't get her back.

Hearing the word from someone outside that the carriage of the county prince's mansion was approaching the door, Lin Hai rushed out to greet him. Although he was a son-in-law, his identity was different after all. Lin Hai didn't dare to sit at home and wait for the prince's son to come and salute him. .

When Lin Hai came in with Zhuang Yu and Daiyu, Daiyu looked at Jia Min with red eyes and then called out "Mother", but Lin Ji was hit by her arms and almost fell on her back. Zhuang Yu reacted quickly, quickly supported Daiyu, looked down, and saw that the culprit who hit her was a chubby milk doll.

Lin Ji howled dryly, "Sister, sister, woo woo, Ji'er misses you so much, where have you been..."

Daiyu was terribly frightened by Lin Ji, and quickly stroked Lin Ji's head to comfort her, "Ji'er, don't cry, don't cry..."

Zhuang Yu watched the little baby coaxing the little baby with great interest, and thought it was very fun, so he teased Lin Ji and said, "Xiao Ji'er, I am your brother-in-law, call brother-in-law to listen."

Lin Ji hadn't noticed Zhuang Yu, a stranger at first, but now that he heard that he was "brother-in-law", he immediately became angry, and shouted: "Bad guy, grab Ji'er's sister, beat him out!"

Both Lin Hai and Jia Min were taken aback. They were afraid that Lin Ji would offend Zhuang Yu, so they quickly scolded Lin Ji. Lin Ji felt that he had been wronged and was about to cry.

Zhuang Yu didn't think he was disobedient at all. Instead, he squatted down, pinched the little baby's plump cheeks with both hands with a smirk, pulled them to the sides, and said in a malicious voice, "I'm a bad person? I've snatched your sister back." It's home, if you don't please me, I won't let you see your sister! Come on, be good, call your brother-in-law."

Although Lin Ji was pinched and uncomfortable, he resolutely refused to bow his head to the evil forces, his eyes widened angrily, and he couldn't speak.

Lin Hai watched from the side, coughed helplessly, but couldn't say anything.The daughter came too late, and he had no time to think about the character of his future son-in-law, so the daughter belonged to someone else.But he didn't think about it at all. According to his personality, the son-in-law must be a scholar with a family background and a gentle manner.

Jia Min was a little stunned, she really didn't expect Zhuang Yu to have such a temperament - when he was on the boat, he was still very handsome and rarely matured, so could it be that he was all pretending?

Both the husband and wife forgot to rescue the youngest son under the claws of the devil, but Daiyu felt sorry for her younger brother and hurriedly took Zhuang Yu's hand: "Brother Yu, let go quickly, Ji'er will feel bad."

Since Daiyu was taken over by Qiu Qingyu, Zhuang Yu's time to cling to Daiyu has been greatly reduced, and now he is even more reluctant to refute Daiyu's intentions, so he let go of her simply.

As soon as Lin Ji got rid of Zhuang Yu, although he still looked very angry, he didn't dare to show his teeth and claws again. He turned around and hugged Daiyu and refused to let go, making Zhuang Yu's hands itchy again.

On this day, Zhuang Yu failed to coax Lin Ji to call him brother-in-law, especially when Lin Ji thought that Daiyu would never leave after she came back, but in the end she followed Zhuang Yu and left the Lin Mansion. Lin Ji decided to stay forever. Hate this bad guy who robbed his sister.

No matter what Jia Min and Lin Hai tried to persuade and explain, Zhuang Yu would always be synonymous with "robber", "bandit", "bad guy" and "bully" in Lin Ji's heart for a long time to come.
