Meng Zhuoer calmly sniffed the appetizing aroma in the air and frowned.
"Of course it's good, what? Aren't you going out with your husband today? I don't have to cook your dinner today."
Mrs. Yao still remembered what happened yesterday, and she didn't care about the presence of outsiders and directly humiliated Xu Xuniang.
Xu Xuniang was embarrassed: "This dinner must be eaten at home, but that day I heard that a roast duck chef from the Xincheng restaurant came to the restaurant and was very good at it. It happened that my husband also made an appointment with some friends, so he spent the night outside. I hope my mother won’t blame me.”
"Blame, I don't dare to blame you, you are so awesome."
Mrs. Yao didn't like this daughter-in-law very much, and she talked like a gun and a stick.
Xu Xuniang glanced at Meng Zhuoer and was extremely embarrassed. She could only change the subject and said: "Mom, my wife brought you a kind of eel porridge that you like to eat on weekdays. It is the best for nourishing blood and qi. Use some. It will be good for you." There are also benefits to your condition.”
Mrs. Yao's expression improved, and she did not continue to give her any more humiliation: "If you agree with what you say, why should I, an old immortal, still hold the housekeeper's key? Sit down."
Xu Xuniang nodded and asked someone to present the medicinal meal.
Now it was indeed time for lunch. The eel porridge was delicious and nourishing, so Mrs. Yao asked the people below to serve a bowl to Meng Zhuoer.
"etc."
Meng Zhuoer hurriedly stepped forward, "Grandma, have you forgotten my instructions? Your legs are not suitable for eating any seafood."
"I almost forgot." Mrs. Yao remembered it now, but she still said with a lucky mentality: "But there are only two eels in this bowl of medicinal food, so it shouldn't matter."
"It is said that diseases enter through the mouth. Even a weak dose can make people miserable. Grandma, do you really want to take this risk?"
Meng Zhuoer was so angry and soft that she couldn't even get angry.
Mrs. Yao is greedy, and because she is old and has a high status, no one dares to persuade her, so she naturally eats whatever she wants.
She glanced at Xu Xuniang
Xu Xuniang immediately said: "Don't eat it this time after you finish it. There are only two eels, and I gave a bowl to Miss Meng. I think it will be fine."
"There are so many delicacies in the world. Since grandma can't eat this seafood, just don't eat it. Why use your own body as a bet."
Meng Zhuoer did not let go, walked to Mrs. Yao and said coquettishly, "Grandma, you still want to continue fighting on the battlefield and be a majestic female general.
Seafood is the biggest cause of rheumatism. Do you want to eat this food regardless of your ideals?
And when your legs heal, you can eat whatever you want. You have worked hard all your life. Don’t you want to see the great mountains and rivers of the motherland when you are here? Go to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River to have a good look and experience the humanities and culture of other places. Try some local food again.
Our Principality of Nanyue is so big and has countless delicacies. In addition to seafood, there are also many delicious dishes. "
Mrs. Yao couldn't help but start enjoying the beauty of the future.
She smiled broadly: "That's true. When I was young, my biggest wish was to defend my territory and fight the enemy in battle. Another goal was to see the mountains and rivers of my motherland and eat authentic food from other places."
"That's it!"
Meng Zhuoer nodded vigorously and agreed, "Now that Mr. Yao is in good health, he will just wait for you to get better, and then he can become a couple of gods and travel around the country!"
"You kid, why are you still joking about grandma coming~"
Mrs. Yao blushed at that.
Mrs. Yao was injured when she gave birth to Concubine Chu, and she would only have one child in her life. If it were a high-ranking palace next door, she would definitely take concubines even if she thought of having a wife. Being childless is a very serious crime.
But Mr. Yao would rather adopt a child from a side branch than take a concubine and divorce his wife. The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and they held a heavy weight in each other's hearts.
Interestingly, Mr. Yao and Mr. Meng were good brothers when they were young, and Mrs. Yao and the late Mrs. Meng were also close friends when they were young. All four of them had a deep and unswerving love for their significant other.
Even though I am older now, I still can't help but blush when being teased by my juniors.
Xu Xuniang felt something was wrong when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Since mother is not suitable for eating seafood, she will not eat it from now on... But it is not easy to get the eel. My mother-in-law's family got it with great difficulty. Mother, why don't you eat it?" This last time, I don’t think it’s so important.”
"Young Madam, this is wrong. If you do this once, there will be a second and third time. Since you have decided not to eat seafood in the future, you should stop eating it from this moment on."
Meng Zhuoer's voice was not strong, but he stuck to the bottom line, "But since this is the hard-earned eel for the young lady's family, why not just use it, so as not to waste it and spoil the wishes of the young lady's family."
She spoke so well that it would not make people think that she was disobedient or offensive to the elders, and she could completely reject the seafood porridge.
"Zhuo'er is right. Now that you've made up your mind, don't go too far. Mother Margin, just eat eel porridge. You've been in poor health, so it's good to eat to replenish your health."
Mrs. Yao glanced at Meng Zhuoer again, "But there is one thing to say, we are not close to the sea and there are few lakes. Why don't you use some and give it a try."
"I won't eat anymore. I want to eat the braised pork chop and scrambled egg with chives from your kitchen!"
Meng Zhuoer had a sweet smile and curved eyelashes, which made her look particularly painful.
Mrs. Yao was extremely soft-hearted: "Whatever Zhuo'er likes to eat, grandma will let the kitchen cook it for you~"
"Okay~"
Grandparents and grandson were enjoying themselves happily, which made Xu Xuniang beside them look like an outsider.
The smile on her face almost broke.
Sure enough, I had a good talk with Qin Meizhen.
I didn’t expect that Meng Zhuoer was quite good at coaxing people.
Xu Xuniang had no interest in staying any longer, so she made an excuse and said she had a headache and went back to the yard.
But whether she really had a headache, how could Mrs. Yao not know after having been with her for more than twenty years? It was just that she didn't want to stay here.
"She has such a fragile temper, as if someone has treated her harshly. It's a headache for guests to come, and it's a headache for her to greet her on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."
Mrs. Yao was extremely disappointed with this daughter-in-law.
But Meng Zhuoer knew that Mrs. Yao was not a harsh person, and she would not always ask her daughter-in-law to obey the rules like other mothers-in-law, and she would always greet her in the morning and evening.
But Xu Xuniang is not even willing to say hello on the first and fifteenth day of every month, which is too much.
If it were another mother-in-law, her son would probably divorce her.
Meng Zhuoer listened quietly, but did not comment on the internal affairs of the Yao family.
In the following days, Meng Zhuoer also ran to Mrs. Yao's house at noon every day and met Mrs. Yao.
Mr. Yao is a serious person, but his bookish seriousness is different from Meng Yuqing's murderous seriousness.
When Meng Zhuoer came back from Yao Mansion in the afternoon, she heard from the housekeeper that Meng Yuqing had not eaten much in the past two days and did not have much energy and appetite.
Meng Zhuoer was a little worried. It happened that the roast duck she had eaten at the Xincheng Restaurant in Yao Mansion was good. She wanted to ask someone to buy some back, but Mrs. Yao suddenly came.
