Chapter 27 Song Ye
As the mistress of the household, Zhou cannot stay in her parents' home for too long.
She stayed at her mother's house for one night, and after breakfast the next morning, she explained everything to Shen Huazheng in detail and returned to Shen's house.
Originally, Zhou wanted to take Shen Huazheng back with her, but considering that Zhou Ying's emotions had not yet completely stabilized and the divorce had not been finalized, she let Shen Huazheng stay in the Zhou family to accompany Zhou Ying.
"Cousin Ying, Grandma, please try the mistletoe and lotus seed egg tea."
Chen Huazheng went into the kitchen early in the morning and started tinkering with it, cooking a pot of mistletoe, lotus seeds and egg tea.
In addition to Old Madam Zhou and Zhou Ying, Shen Huazheng also had it delivered to each room.
[Mistletoe nourishes the liver and kidneys, strengthens the bones and muscles, treats rheumatism, promotes blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, calms the fetus and calms the mind, and treats menstrual pain. Lotus seeds also have certain benefits for the heart, spleen and kidneys, and can help with sleep. This is the most suitable for my grandmother and cousin. ]
Seeing that her granddaughter was thinking of her no matter what she did, Mrs. Zhou was naturally happy, but she scolded her. "Why are you busy with these things again, kid? Don't you feel tired?"
Zhou Ying knew that this mistletoe lotus seed egg tea was made specially for her by Shen Huazheng.
"Thank you, Zheng'er."
Chen Huazheng brought aged mistletoe, which has a mellow flavor. The soup made with it is sweet and not astringent. The lotus seeds in the egg tea are first peeled and cored, then boiled until soft and glutinous, and the eggs are also cooked very well.
In addition to these, Chen Huazheng also added some red dates, so that the taste of the dish will be sweeter and more fragrant.
Old Madam Zhou looked at the mistletoe, lotus seed and egg tea in front of her. The soup was brown in color, and even the egg white was stained with the color, blending into the soup.
If you smell it carefully, you can also smell a faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine and the sweetness of red dates.
The two of them followed what Shen Huazheng said, mashed the eggs in the bowl first, then scooped up a spoonful to taste it.
Madam Zhou: "The flavor of the mistletoe is very strong, with a mellow and sweet taste. The lotus seeds are cooked very soft and melt in your mouth. The eggs are also very tasty. Delicious!"
Zhou Ying also praised: "Mistletoe tea is sweet but not astringent, and lotus seeds are fragrant and soft. The eggs also have a sweet taste."
Shen Huazheng smiled and said, “As long as grandma and cousin Ying like it.”
As she spoke, she picked up the bowl in front of her and started eating.
Although there are Chinese medicines in mistletoe and lotus seed egg tea, it only has a faint medicinal smell, and more of the fresh smell of grass after rain. It warms the stomach and gives people a sense of security when drinking it.
After taking a sip, a light and sweet aftertaste flows down the throat, which is very comfortable.
Sunlight poured in from the hollow carved windows, making the whole room much brighter.
Zhou Ying looked up at Madam Zhou, then at Shen Huazheng, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Zheng'er said, to love yourself, start with three meals a day.
Her grandparents are old and her father is no longer young. She can no longer be as willful as before.
It is the saddest and most helpless thing when a child wants to support his parents but they are no longer around.
From today on, she will eat well, live well, love herself and her family.

After the three of them finished eating the parasite and lotus seed eggs, they sat and chatted for a while, and then a servant came to report: "Madam, young lady, the prince of Weiguo is here."
Although Zhou Ying was already married, after she decided to divorce, Old Madam Zhou ordered the servants in the house to continue calling her "girl".
When the divorce was successful, the Zhou family did not plan to let Zhou Ying move out and would let her live at home.
Upon hearing that Song Ye, the prince of the Duke of Wei, had arrived, Shen Huazheng tactfully found an excuse to leave.
Madam Zhou also stood up and patted Zhou Ying on the shoulder. "Have a good talk with him. Ye'er is a good kid. He will understand you."
"Grandma, your granddaughter understands."
Not long after Shen Huazheng and Madam Zhou left, a handsome young man in a black robe came to Zhou Ying's yard under the guidance of a maid.
He walked quickly to Zhou Ying and bowed.
"Mother, I am relieved to see that you are doing well."
During the time when Zhou Ying returned to her parents' home, all the invitations sent by the Weiguo Mansion to the Grand Tutor's Mansion were rejected. This was the first time Song Ye saw Zhou Ying during this period of time.
Song Ye looks a bit like Song Zhichen and a bit like Zhou Ying, but his temperament is completely different from both of them.
He is neither as gentle as Song Zhichen nor as cold as Zhou Ying, but he is noble and has a strong scholarly air.
Other children, when they were eleven or twelve years old, still went to the river to catch fish and climbed trees to pick bird eggs.
But Song Ye has never liked to laugh or make noise since he was a child.
He was very methodical in everything he did. Apart from reading books and practicing martial arts, he hardly spent any time on entertainment.
Zhou Ying looked at her son, who was much more mature than his peers, and said what she had been thinking about for a long time. "Ye'er, if mother wants to divorce, what do you think?"
There was a flash of surprise in Song Ye's eyes. He thought that this time would be the same as before. Zhou Ying might be angry for a while, and then return to normal and continue to assume the responsibilities of the mistress of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
Although he didn't know why she had this change, he liked it.
Song Ye said seriously, "Mother, just do whatever you want to do. Don't worry about your son."
Zhou Ying was stunned, "Ye'er..."
Song Ye interrupted Zhou Ying directly, "Mother, you have done enough for your son. Next, just do whatever you want to do. Your son will study hard and become your support in the future."
