Xiao Yan thought that since it was a rare trip out of the palace, he might as well follow his grandfather to the Zhenguo General's Mansion. He hadn't seen his grandmother for a while.
After Su Huan and Xiao Yan returned home, they went directly to Zhang's courtyard. There were bursts of chatter and laughter inside, which made people feel a little better unconsciously.
"Prince?" Li was the first to notice Xiao Yan's presence and hurriedly knelt down to salute.
Several people who were chatting and laughing in the room knelt down and saluted one after another. Ms. Zhang, who was at the head, was helped up by someone. When she was about to salute, she was supported by Xiao Yan who came quickly and said, "Grandma, there is no need to be polite."
Madam Zhang didn't insist, and patted Xiao Yan's hand with a very kind expression on her face, "Why are you free to come here today? Have you had dinner?"
Xiao Yan asked the other people who were kneeling in the room to stand up. They were all his elders and greeted them one after another. He held Mrs. Zhang's hand and said, "I've used it. I just wanted to come and see my grandma."
The Liu family looked at each other and sat quietly aside without disturbing each other, leaving some time for the grandfather and grandson to talk alone.
Mrs. Zhang pulled Xiao Yan to sit down, but saw Su Huan standing aside and ignored her, "It's cold, why don't you wear more clothes when you go out?"
"It's okay, grandma, I'm not cold. I'm wearing a new down jacket made by my third cousin. It's warm. If you touch it, my hands will be warm."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "This third child, who is usually a carefree person, never expected to be able to make such a good thing. No, all of us are suffering from double diseases."
"My third cousin is very smart and has helped me a lot." Xiao Yan praised him without hesitation.
"Okay, I hope I can help you."
Su Huan was a little depressed when he didn't get a look from his old wife. He sat aside and watched his grandfather and grandson chatting about daily life. Thinking about the time when I first returned to Beijing, my wife put me first in everything. Now that I have stayed in Beijing and not left, I feel left out. Oh, this treatment.
The kitchen brought cooked corn to Su Huan, which caught Zhang's attention, "What is this?"
Su Huan felt that he had finally received his wife's attention, so he sent the corn over in a hurry, "This is a new kind of food. It was sent back by Yue'er. I'll have someone cook it to try."
"Did it come from Yue'er?" Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up, "Then I want to try it too." Then she called Liu's third sister-in-law, "Come on, you guys can try it too."
The three of them were obviously very interested, but they didn't know how to eat it when they held it in their hands. You looked at me and I looked at yours, but they really didn't know how to eat it.
It was Xiao Yan who stepped forward and followed what Su Yue said in his letter, peeling off the outer layers of clothing and removing the corn silks one by one, revealing the plump fruits.
The servants waiting on the side immediately started to help their master deal with it.
Su Huan was the first to take a bite, then the second, and the third... When everyone saw him silent, they all started to eat, um~ it tastes good, this kind of food is really good.
Soon, the pot of corn was wiped out, and Su Huan ate three corns in one go.
“It’s really good. It tastes good and makes you full.”
Xiao Yan nodded, "Yue'er said that growing corn is easy and the yield should be high."
"We, Yue'er, are smart and can help you. Such a new food has made a great contribution." Mrs. Zhang looked proud.
"Yes, Yue'er is amazing. She knows everything. Even the skin care ointment she makes, people are clamoring for it." Mrs. Liu put down the corn she had finished eating and wiped the corners of her mouth, her eyes filled with joy.
"Good medical skills, good character, and good-looking. Why did Prince Jingnan take advantage of him?" Li complained in a low voice. It was useless for Yue'er not to look at her son in a different light.
Mrs. Lin also felt it was a pity that such a good girl from her family was taken away by someone else instead of taking advantage of the son of the Su family, even though the King of Jingnan was indeed excellent.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded at them, "You guys."
Seeing that they had almost eaten, Su Huan asked the boy to bring in the box of pearls and put them on the table, "This is what Yue'er brought back for you. I told you that I would make jewelry for my grandmother and several aunts, and give away the extra ones." also."
Su Huan's sour tone made several women laugh, and even Xiao Yan laughed softly. Mrs. Zhang was helped up by Xiao Yan, "What good things did Yue'er bring? I'm here to take a look."
The three sisters-in-law also stretched their heads and looked around. When Mrs. Zhang opened the box, they couldn't sit still.
"Oh my God, where did Yue'er get so many fine pearls? These are big and round. Even Linlang Pavilion can't find anything better than this. There are so many. ." Ms. Liu grabbed a handful and couldn't bear to let go.
"How much money can you get for so much this month?" Mrs. Zhang liked it, but she also felt distressed. Why didn't she know how to keep so many good things for herself? Why would they give them to elderly people like them?
Xiao Yan picked out a few darker beads from the box, "Yue'er said that pearls of this color will look good on you if they are made into jewelry for my grandmother."
Mrs. Li looked at the beads in Xiao Yan's hand, "Yes, the prince is right, this color is definitely suitable for you, mother. We will pick them out for you to keep."
Mrs. Zhang was a little embarrassed, "Oh, I'm so old, why do I still wear such good things? It's a waste."
"Grandma, this is Yue'er's wish. You can't make her sad. She sent this specially to you and your three aunts." Xiao Yan put the beads in Zhang's hand, and it was obvious that she was also very happy. .
"That's right, mother, look at how dark your hair has become in the past six months or so." The hair that was white overnight has become much better after Yue'er's conditioning. "You look young. Why can't you wear it anymore?"
"That's right, leave this matter to me. I'll find an old craftsman I'm familiar with to do it. I'll make a few sets of beautiful jewelry for my mother to wear, hahahaha." Ms. Liu's eyebrows arched with a smile.
"You guys, big and small, still dare to laugh at me." Madam Zhang couldn't do anything about these daughters-in-law, "Okay, okay, boss and wife, you can arrange this. Let's each do more." Several sets, wear them interchangeably.”
"Thank you, mother." "Thank you, mother." "Thank you, mother."
Xiao Yan particularly likes the lively atmosphere of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. There is no disharmony between the sisters, and there are no rules and etiquette like that of a big family where you can't do anything. It's not that there are no rules in the Zhenguo General's Mansion. Those are all right. When others are around, everyone is more casual and comfortable.
Border.
As soon as Su Yu returned to the military camp, he was found by his subordinates, "General, something happened. The general asked you to go to the main camp as soon as you come back."
Su Yu's face suddenly darkened and he looked weird, "What's going on?"
"Those insidious villains in the Northern Territory, when everyone was focusing on Xiangyun City, they secretly attacked Yunxi Town, which is fifty miles away from our station." His subordinates explained to their generals as they walked.
Su Yu paused, "What about Yunxi Water Town?"
The subordinates looked ugly, "It was breached, and..."
Su Yu was impatient, "And what's wrong?"
The men's eyes were red, "Those bastards from the Northern Territory slaughtered the entire town and threw all the people's bodies outside the city gate."
