The smell of duck and herbal tea came to Su Wan. Su Wan sniffed and wanted to eat again. But she had eaten a lot today. She had eaten so much meat in a day. Besides, there would be an evening meal soon, so she couldn't. Eat more.
There was quite a lot of half a duck. I had put one plate on a big plate, but I replaced it with two full plates that could be put in a suitcase. After taking it out, no one could finish it.
Su Wan calculated his appetite, took another plate, divided one portion into two portions, gave one portion to Xiao Sang and Xie Si'an, letting them eat some, and gave the remaining undivided portion to Yuanyou, who One person can finish it.
She walked out of the door and shouted: "Yuanyou, come in."
Yuanyou opened the door and strode from the door: "Madam, you are looking for me."
"I brought food to your young master. He can't finish it. I'll give you a portion. Take it and eat it."
Yuanyou suddenly smiled: "Okay, okay, thank you madam, Yuanyou, I just need some snacks."
Su Wan gave up and asked him to eat quickly: "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
"It's okay, as long as it's meat, Yuan You likes to eat it." Yuan You doesn't have a hobby of savoring it carefully. As long as it's meat and it's fragrant, he likes it very much.
Su Wan sent him away and asked someone to bring him a bowl of millet porridge. Then he sat back opposite him, drank warm water and watched Li Lin eat.
When he eats, he moves very gracefully, unhurriedly, and has no expression. It's hard to tell whether the food he eats is delicious or not.
Maybe he doesn't have any special interest in eating. He can eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he can also eat wild vegetables that are bitter and astringent when boiled. In short, as long as he can fill his stomach.
Su Wan's fingers traced the edge of the tea cup. The porcelain white tea cup made her fingers green and delicate. She looked at it carefully, then looked at her own hands, and found that these hands seemed to be well-prepared. good-looking.
It’s about ten fingers that don’t touch Yangchun water, and I use various balms to care for it in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. How can I not look bad?
After a while, someone brought a bowl of clear porridge. Su Wan asked him to eat it with the clear porridge. After all, camphor tea duck is meat, and eating this alone is really boring. Besides, he probably drank too much before, so he probably didn't eat it. what.
A bowl of clear porridge with rice grains one by one. It is cooked very thickly and has a warm texture. It is the most comfortable time to eat. It is paired with a small plate of duck. It is fragrant but not greasy, and it is just right.
He was somewhat satisfied after eating, as if the fatigue of the whole day had been wiped away.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"good."
"I think it's delicious too." Su Wan laughed, "I'll make a few more later so that everyone in the house can have a taste."
Li Lindao: "I don't know if they will like eating this. The taste is a bit bland. Relatively speaking, they probably prefer roasted lamb and roasted chicken."
Su Wan thought about it, this dish was more popular with the noble daughter, but if it were a man, it would be average. A rough guy like Yuanyu probably wouldn't think it was fragrant or oily enough, and it also had a strange smell.
"Well, then I won't buy it for them. When Jiu Bian gets married, let them roast two sheep."
"When your hair is dry, I'll comb it for you."
He now washed his hands and dried them with a cloth. He reached out and touched his hair. It was indeed dry, so he nodded.
The two went to the lounge next door. Su Wan made him sit on the chair in front of the table and combed his hair with a wooden comb.
His hair is also very long. Compared with her soft and satin-like hair, his hair is slightly harder, but it's okay and it feels good to the touch.
She combed his hair, took a hair crown to crown his hair, and finally fixed it with a hosta. Men don't need any hairstyle to comb their hair. They just comb it and twist it, and then use the hair crown and hairpin to fix it. .
You don’t need to learn much, you can get started after just a few tries.
"alright."
He reached out and squeezed her hand and smiled: "Thank you, madam."
Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "Thanking me is not just a matter of verbal thanks."
He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled: "What does the madam want?"
Su Wan thought for a while and said, "How about you comb my hair tomorrow?"
His eyes were clear, with a gentle smile: "I am willing to serve you, madam."
Su Wan laughed happily when he heard this, and his heart was full of joy.
There was nothing to do next. Su Wan asked him to rest in the outer courtyard for a while, while he went back to the inner courtyard to pack his things. He was leaving tomorrow, but there were a lot of things to pack. If he waited until night to pack, he might be too late. .
During the evening meal, Su Wan told Li Lin about Tong Ling'er, smiling like a fox: "When she comes to see me, we will all go back, and the day lilies will be cold by then."
"Speaking of which, when is the imperial examination?"
"tomorrow."
"Is there any arrangement for the marriage that Shi replied to? After the results of the palace examination come out, I'm afraid it will be finalized. Otherwise, there will be many people staring at him, and he can only marry one, and he himself has no one for the time being. No matter what kind of power, it may offend others.”
Li Lin nodded: "After he takes the imperial examination, I will write him a letter and ask him what he thinks. If he wants his official career to go more smoothly, it is better to settle it first to avoid offending him. Those who deserve to be offended will have a difficult career in the future."
"Mrs. Xie, are you going back with us?"
Su Wan shook his head: "I sent someone to ask, and Mrs. Xie said she would like to stay for a few more days. She rarely comes to the Imperial City and wants to stay at her parents' house for a while longer. Let us go back first."
"Mrs. Xie said before that she wanted Su Luo to be her daughter-in-law, but that seems to be out of the question. I went over to have dinner with my grandmother yesterday, and she mentioned something."
"It is good to say that it is a big family with many children and grandchildren, but the fight between wives, concubines, and concubines is really chaotic. When the concubine branch is strong, the concubine branch will always be suppressed and will never be able to stand up in his life. But once the concubine branch is overturned, That’s when the legitimate son is unlucky, so it’s better to just have the legitimate son.”
Especially after seeing Su Ruo, Su Ling and Su Fu fighting each other to the death, Su Lin didn't care about the safety of her family and only thought about her own wealth and glory.
"Grandma wanted to set up a rule. All young men and women in the house, whether they are married back or out, must abide by the rule that 'a man can only take a concubine when he is thirty years old and has no children.' Once this rule is lifted, A Luo's marriage will be blocked. A lot of people got off."
Many people cannot agree to this condition. One reason is because of heirs. In today's world, many children and grandchildren are said to be a blessing. There are legitimate sons to inherit the family business, and concubines to help take care of it. If a family has many people, it will not be busy because there are few people. Weak and bullied.
Another thing is that there are several sons in the family, some of whom have married wives and have taken concubines. If they agree to such a condition, the family may be turned upside down, and they may be in trouble in the future.
