Chapter 237 Do You Regret?
Although Jiang Jinrong has no special abilities and is not very smart, he is not too stupid.
After experiencing these things, he finally figured it out belatedly.
Princess Yi'an adopted Princess Lejia out, which ostensibly just meant to sever the relationship between Princess Lejia and her biological father Jiang Jinrong.
In fact, this incident was used to tell everyone that Jiang Jinrong had been abandoned by Princess Yi'an.
Not to mention Princess Yi'an, without the bond of Princess Lejia, even the royal family began to dislike Jiang Jinrong and even regarded him as a thorn in their side.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Jinrong and his family should be thankful that they can live a peaceful life.
Forget about promotion.
Jiang Jinrong filled another glass of wine for himself, and drinking it all in one gulp, with the bitter taste mixed in.
I don’t know why, but these days, Jiang Jinrong always thinks about Princess Lejia’s childhood.
Among these children, his daughter is the most mischievous and has the most stubborn temper.
No matter what happens, once she makes up her mind, nothing can change her mind.
Princess Lejia once said that as long as Jiang Jinrong allowed Xiao Han to marry into the family, she would no longer recognize him as her father.
Sure enough, after Jiang Jinrong went against everyone's opinion and married Xiao Han, Princess Lejia never called him "daddy" again.
Later, he acted as if he would never have anything to do with anyone again, not even giving face to his two brothers.
Sometimes Jiang Jinrong even wondered if his daughter's gender was mixed up in the womb.
Not only is she naughty and stubborn, she also spends all day in the training grounds with Xie Yanqing, not looking like a lady from a noble family at all.
But it is precisely this kind of personality that attracts so many people to like her.
It doesn’t matter that Princess Yi’an and Marquis Wenxin like her, after all, they are blood relatives.
But the Queen Mother, Emperor Jingning, Prince An, and even General Xie all loved her very much.
Jiang Jinrong drank and couldn't help thinking of his boss's words -
“Sometimes once you choose the wrong path, you can never get back on track.”
Did he really make the wrong choice?
Just because I made the wrong choice that time, I can never go back?
For some reason, Jiang Jinrong was inexplicably reminded of a past event.
When Princess Lejia was young, Princess Yian asked someone to predict her fortune.
The fortune teller said that she was destined to be very rich and powerful, and would bring good luck to those close to her.
When everyone heard this, although they were happy, no one actually took it seriously.
Being born in the mansion of Marquis Wenxin, with Princess Yi'an around, it was normal for him to be rich and powerful.
As for whether it will bring good luck to the people around them, no one will take it to heart.
Princess Lejia was just a baby at that time. Who would want to take advantage of a baby?
For the Jiang family, as long as the little girl can grow up safely and happily, that's all that matters.
Jiang Jinrong had completely forgotten it a long time ago. If these things had not happened recently, he would not have remembered it at all.
Now that he thinks about it, although his daughter's personality is not likable, her life is impeccable.
She had been extremely favored by the Empress Dowager and Emperor Jingning since she was a child. She was named a princess at a young age and was able to enter the palace at any time.
Prince An, General Xie and others helped and protected her everywhere.
Later, she suddenly got excited and went into business.
He also ran the restaurant and food court successfully, and the business was so good that even those old foxes became jealous.
Even the friends she made, one was a fool who had just regained his sanity, and the other was an abandoned woman.
As a result, the fool suddenly transformed himself into a county lady with a fiefdom and became a favorite of His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
The abandoned woman became the daughter of the marquis, and for the first time in history, she became the heir to the marquisate as a woman.
She will become the first female marquis of Daliang in the future.
With all these things happening one by one, it is hard for Jiang Jinrong not to suspect that this is the good luck that Princess Lejia has brought to them.
"Can it really bring good luck to those close to you?"
Jiang Jinrong chuckled, like a mockery, like a sigh.
The taste of this fruit wine should be clear and sweet, but he tasted bitterness.
Even though Aning had such a bad relationship with him at the beginning, her mother just took her away and had no intention of adopting her.
Every time the eldest brother met him, he always advised him to be nicer to Aning and get along well with her.
At that time, mother and elder brother still wanted to give him a chance, right?
If the three of them, father and son, could get Aning's forgiveness, then they would still be a family.
It’s a pity that after so many years, he still hasn’t caught one.
Jiang Jinrong closed his eyes, and a pale and blurry face suddenly appeared in his mind.
She looked sarcastic, as if asking him -
Do you regret it?
Jiang Jinrong suddenly opened his eyes and shook his head vigorously.
No, no regrets!!
He will never regret it!!
No regrets, he can't regret it!!
Although Jiang Jinrong didn't want to see Xiao Han and her two sons now, he was even more unwilling to think about whether he regretted it or not.
No matter how many things happened, he could only tell himself that he had no regrets.
Only if he never regrets anything can he force himself to keep going.
…
At this time, the second banquet in the Shen Mansion had already begun, and Princess Lejia was happily eating a seafood feast with others.
She didn't know about Jiang Jinrong's inner struggle, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
There is no relationship between the two of them anymore, and what Jiang Jinrong does is none of her business.
Xiao Jingran looked at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table, a hint of surprise overflowing from his clear and clean eyes.
There are so many delicious foods.
He had to taste a little of everything so that he could remember the flavors and describe them to the Crown Prince when he returned to the palace.
But, isn't this detailed enough?
What if the prince doesn’t understand?
Xiao Jingran's eyes rolled around, as if he had thought of something.
He looked at the menu on the side and a bright smile appeared on his face.
In addition to the name of each dish, the menu is also accompanied by vivid pictures.
When you meet the prince, just bring this menu with you.
In this way, the prince could look at the pictures while listening to him describe the taste of the dishes.
Hehehe, he is such a clever little guy.
Prince An looked at his son's big eyes that were rolling around, then silently took a sip of tea from the cup.
Judging from his son’s expression, someone is probably going to be in trouble.
The protagonists of the second banquet were still various seafood, including big crabs, giant squids, mackerel and other sea fish, but the most eye-catching were conchs and geoducks.
Abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin and bird's nest are easy to obtain, but good conch are not.
The conch is not the field snail or stone snail found in the fields, but the large deep-sea conch that can only be caught by diving to the bottom of the sea.
Its shell makes a loud sound when blown and can be used directly as a trumpet, hence the name "conch".
Conchs are very picky about water quality and can only survive in waters with constant temperatures. Even in modern times, they cannot be artificially bred. They can be said to be all nobles, and large conchs are hard to come by.
The shell of the conch is thin and the meat is thick. It is full of treasures and the meat is of excellent quality.
No part of the body can be discarded easily.
This time, the dishes made with conchs include the most classic blanched conchs, roasted conchs in an open oven, conch and spring vegetable casserole, fried conch slices, and stir-fried conch slices.
There are also several soups made from conches, including conch and olive soup, morel and conch duck soup, and fish maw and conch lean meat soup.
Chen Huazheng used a serving chopstick to pick up some oven-roasted snails for Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou respectively and put them into their bowls: "Mother, grandmother, try these snail slices, they are so fragrant."
The meat of conch is the most delicious in autumn and winter, and it is best cooked in an open oven.
Madam Zhou looked at Shen Huazheng lovingly: “Okay, okay, grandma will taste it right away.”
The snail meat smells very fragrant and must be delicious, which is why Zheng'er gave it to them.
Zhou also picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of snail meat, and put it into Shen Huazheng's bowl.
"Don't just think about others, eat yourself too."
Chen Huazheng curved her eyebrows and said, "Thank you, mother."
Zhou scolded, "You have to be so polite to your mother."
As she spoke, she picked up the snail slices in the bowl with chopsticks, dipped them in plum paste sauce, and put them into her mouth.
Old Madam Zhou also picked up the snail meat with chopsticks, brought it to her mouth and took a light bite.
As Chen Huazheng said, the conch meat is plump and delicate, refreshing and sweet.
Every bite is full of the scent of the ocean and the unique flavor of open oven cooking. As you chew it, it feels smooth, chewy, and sweet... The combination of all the completely different tastes makes it taste unique.
The specially made plum paste sauce is sweet and sour, which brings out the freshness of the snail meat to the greatest extent, making it taste more tender and smooth. It is simply a feast for the taste buds.
It is an unforgettable taste.
