Tang's dining table

Yun Jin led hundreds of thousands of Wu Barbarians toward Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake like locusts from the forest.

Seeing that Manlong was captured alive, Piluoge abducted Manlong's two foolish sons and jumped into the underground river with more than a thousand Manlong cave people and escaped from a hidden water cave. However, Piluoge survived. , the warriors of Manlong Cave survived, only Manlong's two sons and dozens of personal guards were drowned on the way to escape.

Yunchu led the army to Zhuti City and was planning to build another city on the ruined original site of Zhuti City. He also planned to use this city as the location of the new state capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it was Yun Jin, Pi Luo Ge, or Yun Chu, they had done earth-shattering things, but these news could not even make a splash in Chang'an.

Everyone is busy celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Yu Xiurong has made a lot of rice dumplings with his own hands. The Yun family’s rice dumplings have more types and are more delicious than other rice dumplings in Chang’an City.

Most of other people's rice dumplings are wrapped in dried lotus leaves, and they look very ugly. Just put a little white rice or yellow rice in them, and add some dried fruits and you're done.

Some wealthy families who are more particular about putting beans and meat into the dumplings. In order to add a special flavor, they also put sophora flower sauce and jasmine sauce inside.

The Yun family's rice dumplings are wrapped in reed leaves, in order to enjoy the fragrance of the reed leaves. Yun Chu has always said that rice dumplings wrapped in lotus leaves have a rotten smell.

Yun Luan likes to eat rice dumplings wrapped with candied dates and glutinous rice the most. He always says that rice dumplings with red dates are smelly.

During the Dragon Boat Festival in the past, the Yun family usually gave rice dumplings to the four elders as a token of filial piety. Of course, like in later generations, the rice dumplings were just a name, and they also had to be paired with precious gifts such as the finest rice wine, tea, and rock sugar.

Since the deaths of Li Ji and Liang Jianfang, the only ones who can eat Yun's rice dumplings are the old immortal and Master Xuanzang.

When Yun Chu was here, he was the one who personally brought the gifts, and when Yun Chu was away, it was Yun Jin. Now that both father and son were fighting against the savages in the southwest, Yu Xiurong had no choice but to order Yun Jin to take the young Yun Luan to deliver them.

There is nothing we can do about it. This is the custom in Guanzhong. Although Yun Luan is only five years old this year, because he is a legitimate son, even though his sister is leading him there, he is the protagonist. It would be rude to just let Yun Jin go. .

Although the old immortal and Master Xuanzang did not take these customs seriously. Yu Xiurong did not dare to break such a big obstacle.

Yun Luan had just beaten up Yun Guang Guan, so he was in a bad mood at this time and was holding on to A Niang's legs, unwilling to go.

Yun Guan was nearby and said nice words to coax him: "You were so powerful just now, you even beat me up."

Yun Luan secretly took a look at Yun Guan Guan and was about to hide her body under her mother's skirt. After being lifted up and slipped out, she was still angry.

Yun Jin, who was looking through the gift list, glanced at Yun Luan, and Yun Luan sat on the ground and howled loudly, and she was extremely aggrieved.

Yun Jin closed the gift list and said to Yun Guo Guan, "You go too."

After that, he didn't care about Yun Luan who was sitting on the ground and howling, and walked out. Seeing his sister and Yun Guan leaving, Yun Luan got up from the ground and quickly caught up with her, wiping her tears. He put his fat little hand in his sister's. Yun Guanguan tried to grab the other hand, but he shook it away hard.

Cui Yao, who was holding the tureen, blew the floating tea leaves, took a sip of tea and said to Yu Xiurong, "You little girl is playing tricks."

Yu Xiurong said: "In the morning, the shepherd took the jade Linglong from the little bird, and the little bird went to snatch it. As a result, the jade Linglong broke into pieces during the dispute between the two, so the shepherd pretended to let the little bird beat her. It was said that it was a beating with such force that it couldn't even kill a mosquito, but it made it impossible for the little bird to pursue Yu Linglong's matter. Just now, she felt so wronged."

Cui Yao smiled and said: "With this little bird's temperament, I will suffer a lot in the future."

Yu Xiurong laughed, picked up his tea bowl and took a sip of tea: "Guangguo's seven-year-old age is the time to cultivate his character. I don't care, I just treat this child well. If he grows up to be a domineering person in the future, Yun's family It's just an extra dowry, if it's a sensible person, Yun will keep it for herself."

Cui Yao smiled and said, "What are your intentions?"

Yu Xiurong said: "Look at nature. If you have a good nature, everything will be good. If you have a bad nature, no matter how you raise it, it will be crooked. The Yun family is also a wealthy family now. I don't think I will raise a child bad, since all the children I have given birth to are bad." He is a good boy. It would be difficult for an ordinary woman to enter the Yun family's house."

Cui Yao said: "It's not that it's not easy, it's impossible. If I say something to make you angry, the people in your family seem to be kind and polite to everyone. In fact, the eyes are all on the top door. I'm afraid the girls in Chang'an don't have them." Can one of you and your wife catch your eye?"

Yu Xiurong sighed and said, "This child Sisi has been spoiled by me."

Cui Yao said: "Then it depends on who you compete with. Look at Sisi, and then look at the other princesses of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of martial arts, Sisi can strangle a group of them to death. In terms of means, Sisi can poison a large group of them to death." , the essay is excellent, Sisi can write "The Song of the Silkworm Woman", and when it comes to managing the family business, Sisi can take care of the Yun family in an orderly manner by herself, what can those princesses compare to my Sisi."

Yu Xiurong said: "I don't approve of poisoning. It can easily turn Sisi, a child like a dog."

Cui Yao sneered and said: "What we want is the effect of Goubuli. No one in the royal family is good."

Yu Xiurong leaned on the soft chair and looked at Cui Yao: ""The Song of the Silkworm Woman"..."

Cui Yao said decisively: "That is Sisi's masterpiece, and it is also a sign that Sisi is different from the rest of the royal family."

Yu Xiurong said in surprise: "You know?"

Cui Yao sneered and said: "Sisi has always been under my sect. That child is quite capable in arithmetic. But when it comes to reciting poems and composing poems, she doesn't have the brains. I guess your husband also racked his brains to do this." She came up with this good poem that can be written without a college degree, just a kind heart, right?

Also, your husband is willing to risk the world's disapproval to bring a princess to a bloody battlefield, isn't it just to train you in the Yun family to be a high-ranking lady with the best experience and the best temperament? "

Yu Xiurong saw Cui Yao's unpleasant words and said angrily: "Sisi is good everywhere, but the teacher is not good. She has become an old woman and has the habit of climbing on the wall in the middle of the night."

After Cui Yao heard this, she was furious, pointed at Yu Xiurong and said: "Your man's face has never been fried in a frying pan, so you stick to it day and night. My man is unlucky, and his face has been fried in a frying pan several times." , If you don’t go at night, why don’t you go and see his ghostly appearance during the day?”

Yu Xiurong looked at Cui Yao with pity and said: "You are considered to be very affectionate, and you can still talk like that."

Cui Yao laughed obscenely and said, "How do you know I use my mouth?"

Yu Xiurong's face turned red and she walked away.

Cui Yao laughed from behind and said: "Master said: Food and drink, men and women, human beings have great desires. Wait until I finish the "Ode to the Great Joy of the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth" and open the eyes of you ignorant women!"

Mrs. Chunyu, who was watering the flowers on the porch, stopped the kettle in her hand and said to Cui Yao through the window: "Rebels should be restrained."

Cui Yao said disdainfully: "Make up your oracle bone inscriptions well, don't say anything about me. There is no serious or improper knowledge, there is only the difference between useful and useless. The world is ignorant and can't even figure out the relationship between men and women. If People in the world don't even understand the joy of the boudoir, so how are they different from wild beasts? I'm just pure and pure, what's wrong with me?"

It has been some time since Chunyu came to Yun, and he was no longer as nervous as when he first arrived. He placed the kettle heavily on the ground and said to Cui Yao: "Who do you think is making up the oracle bone inscriptions? Those words already exist, I just want to explain the ancients."

Cui Yao smiled and said: "Who else can understand those ghostly drawings besides you? It's not up to you to say what you want."

Mrs. Chunyu flicked her sleeves and said, "A country woman is not good enough to make plans."

Mrs. Cui, who was carrying a plate of apricots, entered the back house and heard them arguing again. She turned a corner and entered Yu Xiurong's room carrying apricots.

"The madam who is surrounded by demons doesn't care."

Yu Xiurong picked up an apricot and took a bite. She found that it was very sour, so she quickly spit it out and rinsed her mouth. After a long time, she said to Cui, "It's not ripe yet. What are you going to do with it now?"

Mrs. Cui picked up an apricot and took a bite of it and said, "It's already sweet. Eat it fresh."

Yu Xiurong picked up an apricot, looked at it, and threw it on the plate. He said expectantly: "The master said that lychees are abundant in Sichuan. He also said that they are as sweet as honey. When they grow well this year, he will send some back. .”

Ms. Cui shook her head and said, "It's not easy. We have to take the Shu road. I heard that lychee fruit is very perishable and will go bad in three to five days. It cannot be transported."

Yu Xiurong glanced at the half-green and half-yellow apricots on the table and said: "You have to believe in the master's ability. If he says he can deliver them, he will definitely deliver them. Maybe he will send a bunch of them to the boss."

Hearing his wife talk about the head of the family, Mrs. Cui listened to the faint quarrel coming from next door and sighed: "Master is not here, and the women in the house are very angry."

Yu Xiurong, who was originally going to lie down on the brocade, heard what Cui said, straightened up suddenly and said angrily: "Why are they so angry when my husband is not here?"

Unlike the messy home, the old god was lying under the eaves, shaking a cattail leaf fan, very leisurely.

King Ji Li Shen placed a plate of red apricots next to the old immortal. Recently, the old immortal always felt that there was no taste in his mouth, so he liked to eat something stimulating.

Recently, Li Shen's back molar was damaged by moths. He was thinking about whether to pull out the tooth and replace it with a big steel tooth, when he saw the old god who was over a hundred years old clicking and eating there. Sour apricot, that cavity is starting to hurt again.

He squatted down next to the old god with his mouth wide open, pointed at his mouth and said vaguely: "It hurts."

While eating apricots, the old immortal said to Li Shen, who was pretending to be pitiful, "You deserve it. Since you were three years old, the old Taoist has told you to eat less sweets, rinse your mouth more, and brush your teeth more. Have you listened?"
