Mu Qingyang, the owner of Mu Mansion, is very busy on weekdays, often busy until late at night to return home, so Mu Fu's dinner is often used in their respective courtyards, and it is rare for everyone to gather in the dining room to eat.
On this day, Mu Qingyang returned to the house early, lin and xia sat on either side of him, and on the other side of the Lin clan sat the fourth lady Meng, and then the Jiang and Liu clans who had newly entered the house in recent years, the Jiang clan and the Liu clan were both twenty-four and five years old, the Jiang clan was from the Shuxiang Mendi, and the Liu clan was the daughter of Shang Jia, both of whom Mu Qingyang brought into the house after knowing each other when he was doing business outside.
Mu Qingyang's heirs are not many, in addition to the pair of children liuyun and Yuchen, there are also a pair of children of the Lin family, Lan Xi and Hongjing, the daughter of the Xia family, Jin Han, the daughter of the fourth lady Meng, the daughter of the fourth lady, the Jiang family and the Liu family have been pregnant for a few years, but unfortunately they have been born before full term, and no lady has ever been pregnant after that.
Among several daughters, Lan Xi is the most outstanding, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is known as the first talented woman in Linyang City, so she is most favored by Mu Qingyang, Liuyun is obedient, Jin Han is introverted, Siya is rude, and it is no wonder that Mu Qingyang is the most favored Lan Xi.
Liuyun was the last to arrive, as soon as she stepped into the dining room, there were countless lines of sight thrown at her, with different looks, Liuyun indifferently did not look at anyone, straight to Mu Qingyang, and then slightly blessed the body, "Father, my daughter is late." ”
Such a decent courtesy surprised everyone.
"Let's get into the table." With a wave of Mu Qingyang's big hand, Liuyun sat down beside Yu Chen, and the next people began to serve.
Lin Shi was not yet forty, well-maintained, radiant, only to see her cover her mouth with a shallow smile and said: "Today everyone is here, and I also taste these newly made dishes in the kitchen, which are the main eighteen dishes in the old lady's birthday banquet." ”
Mu Qingyang glanced at the Lin Clan beside him and said in a deep voice, "You have worked hard, Ru Yu." ”
"Wherever the old man says, the concubine can organize a birthday feast for the old lady, and it is too late to be happy." Lin Shi smiled slightly at Mu Qingyang, and his eyes flashed with anticipation, as if he was inviting something, Mu Qingyang bowed his head slightly at her, and she lowered her head shyly.
Xia Shi didn't say anything, but Liu Shi, who was sitting at the end, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and taunt, "Sister is so busy, the old man is sad to die." ”
"Poor mouth." Mu Qingyang is good to Liu Shi, among several concubines, only she is straightforward, and she has seen more dignified and generous boudoir, so a woman with a little bit of delicacy is a bit attractive.
Lin Shi's face was stagnant, and he was about to speak, when the steward of the kitchen had already brought a group of people to serve the dishes, while standing on the side and introducing, "This is the three fresh Yao pillars, hibiscus prawns, money spit silk, phoenix wings, golden cake duck tongue, snow moon mutton, bergamot golden roll, pearl laurel fish, Mandarin duck fish jujube ..."
Liu Yun looked at the plate of exquisite dishes in front of him, and suddenly remembered some things in his past life, and Lin Shi also prepared his grandmother's birthday feast like this, trying to present the most luxurious mountain treasures and seafood, and also invited the old imperial chef who retired from the palace to take charge of the spoon, in order to please the old lady can be described as a variety of tricks.
Who wants to get, the old lady is a person who eats fasting, has always been frugal, seeing such a rare beast on the table, the heart hates it, but it prevents the guests from having a seizure, Lin Shi does not take credit, but gives the credit to Liuyun, Liuyun does not know the depth, and also runs to the old lady to ask for credit, since then, the old lady originally lost her birth mother prematurely and the few points of pity that remained were gone.
Now that I think about it, if the old lady had some compassion for Liuyun and was willing to rush to save her life, perhaps she might not have died in Huangquan. Only Liuyun could not guess whether Lin Shi had done it deliberately, or found the old lady's displeasure and would temporarily push this matter onto Liu Yun's body, and then Liu Yun was coldly treated by the old lady and complained to Lin Shi, Lin Shi also reassured her that the old lady had always been like this, so that she did not have to care, now think about it, she really did many times to block the arrow.
"Why doesn't the big lady move the chopsticks and don't like to eat?" Lin Shi squinted his eyes and smiled warmly at her, "Is it not that the illness is not good, and blame me, I am too anxious, it is time to wait for the big lady to be better to taste these dishes." ”
This was strange to say, and at first glance, it seemed as if Liuyun was the one who was in charge of Mu Mansion.
Mu Qingyang's face changed indeed, Xia Shi glanced at Lin Shi without a trace, and Yu Chen frowned and looked at Liuyun worriedly, at this time, if Liuyun responded at will, it would definitely cause her father's disgust.
However, this time, Liuyun giggled, "Wherever the second aunt says, as long as Daddy likes it, Liuyun naturally likes it." ”
"The mouth of the cloud is getting sweeter and sweeter." Xia Shi turned to Mu Qingyang Nunu's mouth, and Mu Qingyang also smiled, washing away the awkward atmosphere.
"But this snow moon lamb, Daddy can't eat it." After Liu Yun finished speaking, he glanced at Wanqing on his side, and Wanqing immediately walked over to remove this dish of things, and Mu Qingyang looked at his daughter in surprise.
"Why can't Daddy eat Snow Moon Lamb?" Meng's daughter Siya asked curiously.
"Aunt Xia mentioned yesterday, saying that Daddy's liver fire is weak recently, I specifically asked Qianlan, Qianlan said that the liver fire is caused by staying up late and busy, to avoid eating hot food, use more vegetarian and light food. Isn't this snow moon lamb the hottest dish? At the end, she also said to the kitchen steward, "You are responsible for my father's diet, pay more attention, don't take the silver and don't do things, let Miss Ben know, keep you can't eat and go around." ”
Such a vain and honest statement surprised a table of people, and such a petulant and arrogant attitude was obviously a big miss, but how could their domineering big lady say such a methodical and reasonable thing, it was really surprising.
"Yes, the old slave knows." The kitchen steward immediately bowed his head and nodded yes.
"The big lady has grown up and knows to care about the old man's body." Xia's voice was still soft, ringing in Mu Qingyang's ears, making Mu Qingyang's face soften a little.
Lin Shi's eyes flashed with suspicion, but he secretly picked up, and also laughed, "Yes, the big lady understands things, and the lady must be very pleased if she is alive." ”
Mentioning his deceased wife, Mu Qingyang lost his mind slightly, and nodded after a while, "Yes, Liuyun has grown up." ”
After that, a table of people returned their attention to a table of delicious food, but no one remembered that today was a trial dish, prepared for the birthday feast in the near future.
A shallow smile appeared without a trace, so that this table of extravagant delicacies, but a good weapon, how can people find it inappropriate?
But what she didn't notice was that the shallow smile at the corner of her mouth was caught by the rain on her side, and her taciturn young brother glanced at her and immediately turned his eyes away, and the strange colors crossed his eyes.
