Soon it was evening.
Mrs. Xu, the Duke of Rongguo, took everyone to Qingsongyuan.
The old man Liu Cheng did not show up. The relationship between him and his daughter has begun to ease in the past few days, and the old man is naturally happy.
But his body was recovering and he couldn't eat kebabs, so he stopped joining in the fun and just ate his own medicinal food in the yard.
Children like the eldest son Liu Huanping and Rong Lao's Dabao have been anxious for a long time.
Liu Huanyan was so anxious that she jumped up and personally urged her servants to move the barbecue items to the yard.
These barbecue items were customized in advance according to Liu Anan's requirements, and the charcoal was made of fine silver wire charcoal, which has no choking smoke.
Mutton, chicken wings, steamed buns, homemade sausages, jars of fruit wine, and refreshing side dishes were all placed on the long table.
Chef Niu and his several apprentices in the mansion have been gearing up for a long time. As professional chefs, how could they miss such a good learning opportunity!
These days, Chef Niu has learned a lot of new dishes under the careful training of his little lady.
Of course, these dishes have already appeared in San Shao's restaurant.
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Liu Anan put on her apron and started her skewers journey.
The mutton skewers are sizzling and oily on the charcoal fire. After repeatedly turning and grilling for a while, sprinkle with fine salt, cumin, and a little bit of chili pepper, and the aroma suddenly emerges.
Xiao Muyang, Xiao Pingan and Rong Yu's youngest son, seven-year-old Brother Chun, were already licking their mouths constantly.
Brother Chun even sucked hard, which made Mrs. Lin's eyes twitch.
Chef Niu is a quick learner.
As expected of a professional, he got started quickly. He specially baked the food for a few children in a non-spicy way.
Liu Anan placed the meat skewers he grilled on the plate.
Ziyi immediately brought it over and placed it in front of the Duke's wife, Mrs. Lin and his own wife.
Several mothers are no longer reserved. Pretending to be reserved at this time is sheer nonsense.
As for the children, none of the biological mothers saw them. Someone was taking care of them anyway.
Even Liu Huanyan baked a few chicken wings by herself, not to mention Liu Huanping and Dabao's older children.
Eat more deliciously when everyone works together.
Ziyi thought very carefully. In order not to let the three ladies ruin her image, she deliberately took the meat off the bamboo stick and put it on the plate.
The three ladies took their chopsticks and tasted it happily.
Everyone here is roasting in full swing, including the servants and guards in the mansion. After Chef Niu is roasted, someone will send it to them to try it.
Liu Huanyan and Liu Anan were sitting together.
Huanyan, who was holding meat skewers in her hand, was about to talk to her sister when she accidentally looked up and saw a head popping up on the wall. She was so frightened that she almost threw away the meat skewers in her hand.
"Mom, there's someone on the wall!"
Liu Huanyan didn't dare to shout out, but several people nearby heard it.
"Sister Huanyan, don't be afraid, that one must be my second uncle."
Brother Chun mumbled something while chewing the meat skewers in his mouth, and continued to fight with the meat skewers without raising his head.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at the wall. Sure enough, a head appeared on the wall and was looking cautiously into the yard.
It was darker next to the wall, but the lights in the courtyard were bright enough for people to see clearly.
Mrs. Lin covered her face with her hands. She felt too embarrassed.
Second child, can't you just go through the front door?
Do you have to climb over the wall at night?
Mrs. Xu burst into laughter, and Liu Yue shook her head.
When Liu Anan saw his father's appearance, and then looked at the helplessness in his mother's eyes, he suddenly felt that the meat skewers in his mouth no longer tasted good.
Liu Yue looked at her daughter and felt a little wilted. She felt uncomfortable, so she turned around and whispered a few words to Ziyi.
Ziyi quickly walked to Chef Niu, took out a large plate full of grilled meat skewers, and a small jar of fruit wine, then turned and walked towards the wall.
Rong Guogong Liu Rufeng has something to do at the moment and has not returned home yet.
It is said that the Rongguo Duke's mansion is heavily guarded. If it weren't for Rong Jue, no one would have dared to break in.
People in the courtyard also understood that it was the guards who let Rong Jue in, and the Duke of Guo must also be outside the courtyard.
Ziyi didn't go through the courtyard gate. He went to the wall and called "Master Hou". He stepped on the top of the wall with his toes and handed the things to Rong Jue.
Looking outside, sure enough, her father-in-law was standing in a small pavilion on the side with his hands behind his back.
"Master Marquis, my wife asked my slave to deliver this."
Rong Jue recognized Ziyi. When he heard that it was his wife who sent it to him, he was moved. He took the meat skewers and fruit wine pitifully and walked to the small pavilion.
"Can't you go through the main entrance? Do you have to climb over the wall like a thief? If I hadn't come back in time, the guards in the mansion would have been beaten to death by you and they wouldn't have let you in. You are really promising!"
Liu Rufeng scolded Rong Laoer unceremoniously.
Rong Jue really respected his brother-in-law and did not dare to talk back. He just kept eating and drinking. The meat skewers must be eaten while they are hot, otherwise they will not taste good after a while.
When Liu Rufeng saw that he had punched the cotton, he was so angry that he ignored him and simply picked up the meat skewers and started jerking off the meat.
At this time, Xiao Muyang came close to her mother and whispered: "Mom, uncle Rong's family is outside. I want to thank him. I like the gift that uncle gave me very much."
Liu Yue was stunned for a moment.
Looking at his son's big black eyes, I felt a little uncomfortable. This child had never received any father's love since he was a child. After all, he was sorry for him.
"Go, let your sister take you there." Liu Yue said warmly.
Liu Anan, who was on the side, naturally heard what her brother and mother said. She immediately put down the fruit wine in her hand and led her brother out of the yard.
Outside Qingsongyuan, Liu Anan saw his father and uncle drinking wine, licking skewers and chatting happily in the small pavilion.
Liu Anan led Xiao Muyang into the pavilion.
"Dad, my brother likes the gift you gave me very much. He came here specially to thank me."
Liu Anan spoke first.
It was also the first time that Rong Jue officially met the child.
Little Muyang cupped her hands and said, "Hello, Uncle Rong, I like the gift you gave me very much. Muyang will cherish it, study medicine with the master, make a difference in the future, and support my sister."
Rong Jue was very happy to see that the child had a very good relationship with his daughter, and his heart was full of his elder sister.
"Mu Yang, a great doctor cannot be trusted unless he is a benevolent person; if he is not smart and rational, he cannot be trusted; if he is not honest and pure, he cannot be trusted. I hope that you can become a real doctor who can help the world in the future, not only for your sister. Support me and do something meaningful for the people of the world."
"Mu Yang has learned a lesson."
Xiao Muyang thanked him very solemnly.
The siblings left after not staying for a while.
Liu Anan went back and brought chicken wings, grilled steamed buns, and a small pot of mixed vegetables to her uncle and biological father.
Eating only meat can easily lead to internal heat, and some side dishes can relieve the fatigue.
"Why did the Holy One come to see you today?" Rong Guogong Liu Rufeng asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty ordered me to keep an eye on the Li family. It seems that Your Majesty doesn't want to wait any longer. Maybe taking the initiative will expose more of the Li family's flaws. The Li family has been very peaceful in recent times, but it's a little too peaceful. .”
"Is there any movement from the King Xian? It is certain that the King Xian is involved in Suhou's matter, but the matter involving the Li family and the Queen Mother is indispensable."
Liu Rufeng's head hurt when he thought of the wise king. This wise king was really difficult to deal with.
"The wise king is also as quiet as a chicken. He really brings out the word "virtuous" to the fullest. A biting dog does not show its teeth. It is worthy of being trained by the Queen Mother."
Rong Jue threw away the bamboo stick in his hand and said with a dark face.
"The wise king is not a man who accepts his fate. He will still make some moves. Maybe there will be a big storm in the capital in the future. You and I must be aware of it. Even when the child was fighting for his life at the border, the key witness has been To find it, all it takes now is an opportunity.”
Liu Rufeng reminded Rong Jue, and Rong Jue naturally understood.
Liu Anan listened carefully and did not interrupt, but her mind was always spinning, and some things needed to be done in advance.
