Chapter 438 Help
At this time, Xia Mingyue was frying the hot pot base in a large pot on the stove in the courtyard.
Dozens of red peppers, grass fruits, amomum villosum, cumin, cloves and other seasonings exude a strong and overbearing aroma when cooked in rapeseed oil, invading everyone's nostrils.
It is fragrant and spicy. The spicy and fragrant smell makes people unable to help but swallow their saliva.
Just the smell is so rich and fragrant. If you use this base soup to cook various ingredients, you can't imagine how delicious it will be!
An Yunji sighed while sniffing the aroma, "This stuff that my sister cooked smells really good. Not to mention eating the meat in a shabu-shabu, I feel like if I add some boiling water to it, I can drink a bowl alone."
< br>"Only one bowl?" Xia Mingyue joked with a smile.
“That bowl from Maosanli.” An Yunji pursed his lips and smiled.
Yesterday, he set his sights on the bowl from Maosanli. It is made of wooden material and is very durable. The most important thing is that it has a large capacity. Speaking of which, he only eats one bowl per meal, and it does not look rough at all!
The only thing wrong is that when eating, it is a bit of a test of the strength of the wrist.
But he is a young general, and his strength is not a big deal!
Xia Mingyue was so amused by An Yunji that she couldn't help but laugh, "You."
"What's wrong with me? It's you, sister, who is thinking about me and my brother-in-law's greedy talk every day. We You were so busy as soon as you came back, I'm afraid others will say you spoiled us both," An Yunji said with a smile.
"My husband and younger brother are naturally pampered." Xia Mingyue disagreed, and instead looked at An Yunji, "But you, after so many years, are still so thin, when will you be able to have more? "Grow more meat?"
"Well, I guess I have to wait until I can eat the food cooked by my sister every day." An Yunji said this with a hint of coquettishness.
But these words made Xia Mingyue sigh in her heart.
With the establishment of the new dynasty and the expansion of territory, the war may be difficult to stop for a while, and the continuation of the war also indicates that the army will encounter constant dangers.
And she currently has two relatives, both of whom are in the military...
Xia Mingyue suddenly felt sad.
I don’t know when I will be able to live the life that An Yunji said and be able to cook for Lu Qiyan and An Yunji every day.
But Xia Mingyue didn't want to show her sadness in front of An Yunji, so she just smiled and pinched An Yunji's cheek.
Although An Yunji was born thin, his face was full of childishness, with a little baby fat, and it was very comfortable to hold.
And An Yunji also noticed his sister's disappointment and hurriedly changed the subject, "It hurts me. Be careful that I will say in front of others that you are a bad sister who bullies your younger brother, hum!"
"The mouth comes from other people, let them speak what they say, naturally you are not afraid of things you have never done!" Xia Mingyue still didn't stop, but frequently stretched out her claws when An Yunji was dodging.
“Help!”
"Don't run away!"
The two siblings started fighting in the courtyard.
Honglian, who heard the two siblings talking outside the courtyard gate, was stunned for a long time.
“If others have their say, let them speak!”
“Of course you are not afraid of things you have never done before!”
That’s right, even if there are rumors about things you have never done, what are you afraid of?
Ms. Xia is a person who firmly believes in these things. How could she believe something that was unfounded? How could she be suspicious of her and think that she had laid a sewn egg?
If she doesn’t confess this matter, then she really has evil intentions, and that’s true!
After Honglian figured this out, she burst into tears. Almost biting his lip until it bled, Honglian stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, then raised his head, his eyes becoming very firm.
Holding the bamboo basket in her hand more upright, Honglian raised her feet and strode into the courtyard gate.
Seeing Honglian coming back, Xia Mingyue stopped playing with An Yunji and said with a smile, "Honglian is back."
"Sister Honglian." An Yunji also smiled After saying hello, I saw that the contents of the bamboo basket on his arm were as high as a mountain. My eyes lit up, "So many delicious foods?"
"Yes, they are all mountain mushrooms. The game tastes delicious." Honglian responded while showing the things to the two siblings.
It was because the two siblings were so friendly and kind to her that she felt warm in her heart. Remembering that she had been shaken by the words of Mr. Cui just now, she felt annoyed and extremely ashamed.
Xia Mingyue looked at the excellent-looking fungi and bamboo shoots inside, and nodded repeatedly, "It's best to eat these hot pots. Sure enough, Hong Lian is the most suitable."
Hong Lian's cheeks She blushed and gave Xia Mingyue a blessing very respectfully, "Mrs. Free? The maid has something to say to Lady Xia."
Seeing Honglian's expression suddenly become serious, Xia Mingyue nodded, "Okay"
Hand over the bamboo basket. Gave it to Yinqiao and asked her to take it and store it in a dry and cool place. Xia Mingyue took Honglian into the house.
After closing the door, Honglian knelt down in front of Xia Mingyue with a pop, tears streaming down her face.
When Xia Mingyue saw this, she was startled at first, then frowned, "What happened?"
——
Dinner was cooked by Zhuang's mother and Honglian.
Vinegar cabbage, stir-fried shredded radish, scrambled eggs with chili, homemade tofu and other very homely dishes are comfortable and delicious to eat.
This year’s new Erhe Noodle Steamed Steamed Rice Noodles and White Noodles are soft and glutinous, and paired with the glutinous sweet potato rice porridge, it is light and delicious.
After eating, Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan returned to the house together.
"Is there something wrong, madam?" Lu Qiyan asked, while pouring a glass of water for Xia Mingyue.
The nights are getting longer and longer, and the time to fall asleep is getting earlier. Lu Qiyan is still drinking tea at this time. Lu Qiyan is afraid that Xia Mingyue will not be able to sleep at night.
"Look at this." Xia Mingyue handed the oil paper bag to Lu Qiyan.
"What is this?" Lu Qiyan took it with a smile and reached out to open it.
A faint fragrance immediately floated out. Lu Qiyan's smile froze, and then he quickly rewrapped the oil paper bag, and his expression became serious, "Where did you get this thing, madam?"
"Looking at this, you probably know this Something." Xia Mingyue sighed, with a solemn expression, "Someone found Honglian and gave her a package of things to make her own plans."
The emphasis on Xia Mingyue is "self". On the other hand, he gave Lu Qiyan a thoughtful look.
This means that someone asked Guren to target him?
Is this the intention to separate the couple?
Lu Qiyan frowned and asked, "Do you know the identity of this person?"
"Honglian said that the person called himself Cui." It’s Mr. Cui from the Cui family.”
Sure enough, it’s Cui Wendong.
Lu Qiyan's expression suddenly darkened.
I had previously learned that Cui Wendong seemed to often bother Xia Mingyue and uttered wild words, with extremely impure intentions. At that time, Lu Qiyan sent someone to Cui Wendong's residence to teach him a lesson.
