Now that everyone is here, food can be served. Jing Yi started frying some hot dishes.
Today Jing Yi showed off her culinary skills and cooked many delicious dishes. Boiled pork is of course indispensable, as are boiled goldfish, Sixi meatballs, boiled chicken, steamed pork ribs, leek fried lamb, etc.
Knowing that Xiao Yilin liked sweet foods, Jing Yi made a sweet sour pork tenderloin, steamed glutinous rice cake, and sweet potatoes.
There is also cold milk radish, cold spinach, boiled cabbage and so on.
Today was a holiday, originally Jing Yi had to have dinner with her mother. However when guests came to the house, Jing Yi had to accompany the guests.
Xiao Yilin did not want her mother and daughter to eat separately during the festival, so she said, "Jingyan, Aunt Liu is the older one, so we shouldn't be too formal, either, let Aunt Liu eat with us. Otherwise, you and Aunt Liu can't eat together today." Isn't the reunion dinner ours?"
Lin Xiuhan also said: "Yes, Jingyan, today is a festival, and it is only fun when everyone gathers. We're all juniors, it's nothing."
Under the persuasion of Xiao Yilin and Lin Xiuhan Jing Yi asked her mother to also come to the front hall for dinner.
As for Gu Yu and the others, they had dinner with Song Yuancheng and the others, and Jing Yi asked Song Yuancheng to comfort the others.
Xiao Yilin asked Han Qi not to wait, but to have fun with everyone. But how Han Qi could stay away from his master for such a long time, he quickly ate something and then went to his master to serve him.
Xiao Yilin had the highest status in the front hall, and she was supposed to be the host, but Xiao Yilin insisted on Ny. Liu became the host.
Seeing Prince Jing respect her so much, Miss. Liu was flattered.
Jing Yi did not care much about the difference between high and low status, so she let her mother take the lead.
Since Xiao Yilin was still taking medicine and could not drink alcohol, Jing Yi specifically made it a fruit tea for digestion and appetite.
Jing Yi placed the teacup in front of Xiao Yilin, then took out a round belly teapot containing fruit tea and poured the fruit tea into the cup, "Sister Xiao, you can't drink alcohol, I specially made you a fruit tea for digestion and appetite. There are dried hawthorn, dried plums and other dried fruits in it, after cooking, strain the residue, and lastly add honey, it tastes sweet and sour, very appetizing, you have a taste." Xiao Yilin looked at the red tea soup in the teacup in front of her very deeply
Glad, the little girl specially prepared this for him.
“Thank you Jing Yan, you are too wise.”
Everyone Jing Yi poured wine, however, the alcohol content is not high at the moment, you can still drink two glasses.
Xiao Yilin was the first to lift the teacup, "Today is a holiday, I will serve Aunt Liu with tea instead of wine. I'll trouble you and Jing Yan all along. "Seeing Prince Jing respecting her, Madam Liu quickly raised the wine glass and said,
"Son Yan is lucky enough to be able to heal Prince Jing's body, so his medical skills are not in vain. Prince Jing need not worry too much. "After that, Lin Xiuhan also
make a toast.
The food was carefully cooked by Jing Yi, let alone the taste. There were some dishes that even Liu Shi ate for the first time.
Xiao Yilin and Lin Xiuhan had another chance to taste Jing Yi's cooking skills during this meal.
Anyway, Mrs. Liu was also a person who had seen the big world, so he was not too afraid when facing Xiao Yilin and Lin Xiuhan. In the meeting, intentionally or unintentionally, they inquired about Lin Xiuhan's family background and personal situation.
Lin Xiuhan was very humble, almost answering his every question about Madam Liu. Liu Shi and Lin Xiuhan also met frequently, and they were more familiar with each other, and they spoke more casually.
Xiao Yilin listened to the conversation between Liu Shi and Lin Xiuhan, paying attention to the way Liu Shi looked at Lin Xiuhan, and thinking about the identity and age of the girl next to him, he had always felt that Liu Shi looked at Lin Xiuhan like a boy.
This made Xiao Yilin gradually feel uneasy. Could it be that a grand prince was not as good as Lin Xiuhan who was the county magistrate?
Liu Shi knew very well in his heart that his daughter's current status was clearly ineligible to become the prince's concubine. Liu Shi did not want his daughter to become a concubine.
What's more, she understands her daughter's self-esteem, and her daughter won't share a man with another woman.
This was something that Jing Yi often emphasized with her mother, after she got married, she would be a couple for the rest of her life, otherwise, she would rather not have it.
In this ancient time, there was no high official who did not have three wives and four concubines, moreover Xiao Yilin was still a prince. Therefore, after knowing the identity of Xiao Yilin, Ny. Liu never considered him his son-in-law, and directly excluded him from the selection of a son-in-law.
Madam Liu was very satisfied with Lin Xiuhan's current state, he was handsome and handsome, indifferent to fame and fortune, humble and careful, honest and fair as an official, and indifferent to fame and fortune, and have good character. Most importantly Lin Xiuhan was unmarried, let alone having a concubine, and there were no women around, this was what made Liu Shi the most satisfied.
Jing Yi saw her mother chatting with Lin Xiuhan with great joy, and asked her many personal questions about Lin Xiuhan, and she felt the taste.
Jing Yi picked up the chopsticks plate for her mother and said, "Mother, I tried hard to cook today, please eat more.
" Xiu Han as a matchmaker?
Still setting up his daughter.
Lin Xiuhan was happy today, drank some more wine, and spoke more casually, jokingly saying: "Aunt Liu asked me about my personal situation, do you want to be a matchmaker for me? I am single and not married. Can Aunt Liu The woman you like must be a good girl."
Liu said with a smile: "If Aunt Liu meets a good girl, she will definitely recommend it to you. A young talent like you who is handsome, kind, and talented must find young talent with a similar appearance. Only good women can match."
Xiao Yilin was extremely depressed when she heard the conversation between the two, and she tried her best not to turn black.
At this moment, Han Qi who was waiting on the sidelines saw that Madam Chu was more enthusiastic towards Lin Xiuhan than her prince, it seemed like Madam Chu wanted Lin Xiuhan to be his daughter-in-law, right? What about my prince?
Han Qi saw that his prince had a tendency to make a bad face. It seemed that Lin Xiuhan would most likely be his princely competitor. He must be vigilant. My prince ended up falling in love with a woman, how could he be snatched away by someone else?
Jing Yi did not want her mother to talk to Lin Xiuhan anymore, and she added food for her mother. Then he used his chopsticks to pick up the yam slices for Xiao Yilin, "Sister Xiao, I dug this out of the yam that I found in the back mountain. This yam is very nutritious for the body, you should eat more. Brother Lin, you can eat it too."
Liu Shi also saw that Xiao Yilin looked a little displeased, so he stopped talking. He also felt that he had spoken too much today. It was just that today was a rare opportunity, so he took the opportunity to inquire about Lin Xiuhan's state, as well as for the future.
Jing Yi said: "Mother, if you are tired, rest, I will accompany Brother Xiao and Brother Lin here."
Liu took advantage of the situation to leave the table and return to his room.
The small theater:
Han Qi: My lord, I think Lin Xiuhan wants to dismantle your corner.
Xiao Yilin: I know, this king should think about how to please his future mother-in-law.
Liu Shi: There is no point in pleasing, you are not my daughter-in-law's choice.
