The antique soup is eaten and cooked immediately. It takes a long time to eat. You can chat while eating and waiting. In addition, it is autumn now and the temperature is getting lower. I had a meal of antique soup and I ate more than one without realizing it. hour.
The key is to eat and rest for a while without feeling like you have eaten much.
By the end, several people were full from eating, and there were still a lot of dishes on the table.
"I'm so full!" Xu Qian rubbed his belly and said, "Ah Ning, this antique soup of yours will definitely sell well if you put it in Lihualou."
Xu Wanning was full but not full, "Well, I have already asked people to prepare it. In a few days, when all the utensils are ready, it should be launched."
Xu Wanning came up with the frying pan and the low stove by himself later on, and it would take some time to order them specially.
"With this launch, your business will definitely reach a new level." Xu Qian said with satisfaction, stroking his beard.
Mrs. Lu was very pleased: "My Aning is really smart."
It was Xu Wanning who helped her father regain his position: "It's not because my parents were good at birth. My parents are so smart, how could I be so bad!"
"Look, look, my daughter can still talk." Xu Qian was overjoyed.
Although he didn't get his dignity back for himself, his daughter got it back for him.
Mrs. Lu glanced at Xu Qian, feeling sweet in her heart.
In her heart, her man is the smartest and best in the world, and no one can replace him.
"Are you coming over for dinner tonight?" Ms. Lu asked.
Xu Wanning shook her head: "No, I will take them to Lihua Tower at night."
Mrs. Lu knew that the people in her Lihuayuan family would definitely celebrate Xu Wanning's birthday, so she said nothing more and glanced at the two brothers who were gathered together.
Mrs. Lu said in a very rare way: "Can you take your two brothers to play in your yard this afternoon?"
"OK."
"Can I also stay at your place tonight?"
Since he is being taken away but not allowed to come back, then there are only two people in this yard: father and mother.
Xu Wanning guessed something and looked at Mr. Lu mysteriously, with a hint of teasing: "Mom, are you planning to follow dad..."
She didn't finish her words, and Mrs. Lu could understand.
Seeing her daughter's curious gaze, Mrs. Lu blushed a little, but she still said: "The day I gave birth to you, I was in pain all day and night in the delivery room. Do you know what your father did outside the delivery room?"
Xu Wanning was curious: "What?"
"He wanted to come in to accompany me, but everyone wouldn't let him in, letting him wait peacefully to become a father. But he said that he was so scared at the time that he couldn't do anything, so he knelt outside all day and night. , only one sentence over and over again."
"What did dad say?" Xu Wanning had never heard Mr. Lu talk about it.
Mrs. Lu looked at Xu Qian who was holding her two brothers in circles, her eyes were watery and affectionate: "He has been begging Bodhisattva to exchange his life for the lives of his wife and children. Later I gave birth to you, mother and daughter. Ping An, everyone else is congratulating him for becoming a father, but he is the only one who is still kneeling there because his legs are numb and he cannot get up."
"Your father looks confused and has only money in his eyes, but in fact he is a very simple-minded person. He makes so much money, not much of it is spent on him, all of it is spent on our mothers." Lu said quietly: "So why do you think your father accepted your eldest brother as his adopted son?"
Xu Wanning knew: "Because my eldest brother saved your and your younger brother's lives."
"Yes. He said that your eldest brother saved my life and your brother's life, and your eldest brother is his life."
Xu Wanning said nothing, watching Xu Qian's thoughts changing over and over again.
Only by raising children can you know the kindness of your parents.
Even the words asking the Bodhisattva to exchange his life for his life are the selfless love of her father for his wife and children.
A child's birthday is a day of suffering for the mother.
Xu Wanning hugged Mrs. Lu: "Mom, thank you, thank you, dad, for bringing me into this world."
"Silly boy, my parents don't ask for anything else, they just want you to be safe and happy."
"I will, mother, I will be fine."
Xu Wanning pulled Xu Tingan and Xu Changan away.
Xu Qian was still a little reluctant: "Just let Brother Ting follow. Why take Brother An away too?"
Mrs. Lu took his arm and rested her head on his shoulder: "Don't you want to be alone with me for a while?"
"What?" Xu Qian was delighted and looked down at Mr. Lu.
That's what she meant!
Lu's face was flushed with a girl's blush: "Aqian, I'm tired, please carry me in to rest."
Xu Qian was overjoyed, picked up Mrs. Lu and rushed inside.
Mrs. Lu put her arms around Xu Qian's neck and whispered something into his ear. Xu Qian carried him to the bed and carefully pressed him down: "Good Afu, what did you just say? Say it again."
Mrs. Lu refused to say anything, so Xu Qian bit her ear and kept pleading.
"Okay Afu, say it again, say it again."
Mrs. Lu put her arms around Xu Qian's neck and whispered, "A Qian, I love you."
Xu Qian's eyes turned red and he put down the bed curtain.
In an instant, there was a groaning sound in the house, and the spring scenery could not hide it.
Xu Wanning took Xu Tingan and Xu Changan back to Lihuayuan.
Jixiang was waiting at the door. When he saw Xu Wanning coming back, he immediately shouted into the yard: "Miss is back."
Xu Wanning had already reached the door: "What's wrong?"
Jixiang smiled, bent down like a waiter in a shop, "Miss, please."
Xu Wanning crossed the threshold curiously, and the scene in the yard lit up Xu Wanning's eyes.
The yard is filled with chrysanthemums of various colors. Chrysanthemums of the same color are placed in one place, a cluster here, a cluster there. Red ribbons are hung on all the pear trees. The whole pear flower courtyard feels like being in the Red Sea. It feels like being in a sea of flowers.
Autumn is a great time to appreciate chrysanthemums, and Xu Wanning also saw many rare varieties inside.
There are ink lotus, jade pot spring, green peony, West Lake willow moon...
There is not only one pot of the same variety, but at least three pots.
Xu Wanning was shocked: "Where did you get these chrysanthemums?"
She didn't say buy it because she couldn't buy it even if she had money.
The price of each pot is sky-high, so many pots...
Not to mention that the servants in the yard spent all their money, even if she spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, she might not be able to buy these.
Because these varieties of chrysanthemums are rare in Kyoto.
No matter how much money you have, you can't buy it, only the rich and powerful can get it.
Everyone was silent and looked at Fu Bai.
Fubai scratched his head and said with a smile, "Wang Xingmin sent it."
Sent by Wang Xingmin?
How could Wang Xingmin, a county magistrate, buy so many expensive chrysanthemums?
Xu Wanning didn't believe it.
"It was sent by Pei Heng, right?" Xu Wanning told the truth in one word.
Fubai smiled: "Miss, the Governor has something to do today and is out of town, but he said that he will come back in the evening to celebrate your birthday. These are his first birthday gifts for you."
