Chapter 311 Come Out
Su Yujin reached out and helped her up, and said with a smile, "Mother Liu, are you going to be distant with me?"
"I'm not being polite at all. I'm happy, very happy!" While speaking, Mother Liu reached out and wiped the wet corners of her eyes.
She was happy for Su Yujin from the bottom of her heart! She had seen her daughter's character, appearance, and behavior, and she hoped that Su Yujin would have a good home and a smooth life in the future.
In the past, she hoped that Su Yujin could marry into the He family and enjoy a good life with He Yanxiu, but when she saw He Yanxiu return Su Yujin's indenture contract, Mother Liu suddenly felt lost.
Even though Su Yujin's businesses were flourishing, and even though the relationship between Su Yujin and He Yanxiu seemed to be as peaceful and harmonious as before, the stone hanging in Mother Liu's heart never fell to the ground.
But now it's good, Su Yujin was conferred the title of Ping'an County Lady.
County Lady!
That's a higher rank than the county magistrate! If she gets married in the future, Su Yujin will definitely be able to marry into a wealthy family and become the mistress of the house. No one will dare to bully her. She will be truly glorious.
Even if my daughter really doesn't consider marriage and stays single, with the status of Lady Ping'an and the money I earn, she will not live a bad life.
My daughter has suffered for so many years, and finally she has made a name for herself!
Mother Liu almost cried for joy.
Su Yujin knew of Mama Liu's loyalty and friendship for her, and she felt warm in her heart when she saw this. She pulled Mama Liu and Ai Cao and said with emotion, "You suffered a lot and were very tired following me in the past. Now your life will be better."
"That's not true, young lady. I am living a good life following you." Mother Liu said with a smile.
This is not just a compliment, it's really nice.
It is really hard to find a host like Su Yujin who is so kind to others, trusts them, and treats them as family members.
Ai Cao also agreed, "It's really good. It's a blessing for me to meet you in my previous life."
"You're so talkative." Su Yujin tapped Ai Cao's forehead and said to Mother Liu with a smile, "Did you cook?"
Zhang San and the Hu brothers were making trouble at noon, then Eunuch Shen and Lord Ren came to announce the decree, and then they returned to the county government office and went to the guest house to talk...
I was so busy for most of the day that I hardly ate anything.
Now that everything was settled, my tense mind relaxed and I felt like my stomach was beating like a drum.
"I've made it, I've made it." Mother Liu smiled. "I made crucian carp tofu, stir-fried river shrimp, homemade tofu, scallion skin and simmered green onion, and some steamed noodles and lotus seed and lily porridge. Although the weather is cold these days, the house is heated by the heating. The girl may have a sore throat, so drink more lotus seed and lily porridge."
"That's right girl."
As Madam Liu was setting the table, she said, "Before the young lady came back, the Feng family, the Zhou family, the shopkeeper Sun, and a few people who had some contact with the young lady all sent gifts to congratulate her on being granted the title of Princess of Ping'an County."
"I saw that they were all gifts and nothing was particularly outstanding, so I put them all away. I will ask Ai Cao to register them later. Put them away first?"
"Yes." Su Yujin nodded, "Just take care of the placement."
Mother Liu and Ai Cao were quite capable in handling these matters, so she was very confident and left everything to them.
And what she cared more about at this moment was the food on the table in front of her.
The crucian carp and tofu are stewed long enough that the soup turns into a milky white color, exuding bursts of fragrance. The tofu is soft and tender, and slightly hot when eaten. It is comfortable and delicious to eat in such cold winter weather.
Su Yujin thought it was delicious and kept praising Mother Liu for her excellent cooking skills. She started to think quickly in her mind.
Although raw crucian carp in winter is not as plump as in autumn, the cold river water in winter gives wild crucian carp a unique and delicious flavor, and it tastes particularly good.
Next time He Yanxiu comes, I'll stew crucian carp and tofu for him.
However, He Yanxiu was very greedy and liked things with strong flavors. He was afraid that the light crucian carp tofu would not be satisfying enough...
How about making spicy grilled fish? Speaking of spicy, spicy hot pot seems to be good too.
It seems that red oil hot pot can also be considered.
Yes, yes, Maoxuewang is also an excellent choice!
Or spicy shrimp is also good...
I just don’t know when He Yanxiu will come next time. I miss him a little.
Su Yujin's eyes blinked again and again.
In the following days, Su Yujin received many gifts.
Most of them came from the capital.
What was sent by the Anguo Mansion was a whole set of pearl headdress, a ruby headdress, two jade bracelets, and a painting of spring scenery drawn by Zhen Yue'er herself.
Lu Wenjing sent a pair of excellent Ru kiln flower-arranging porcelain vases and a dozen pieces of silk of various colors.
The Wang family sent a 300-year-old wild ginseng and a Ganoderma lucidum of excellent quality.
In addition, there were gifts sent by Madam He Lu and the Third Prince.
Mama Liu and Ai Cao were counting the various gifts. When they were almost done, Ai Cao frowned slightly, "Although the gifts sent by the Third Prince and Madam He look different, they are quite similar."
Gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold hairpins, gold bangles, gold spoons, gold chopsticks, gold bowls...all are neatly arranged, pure gold objects.
"The Third Prince is Madam He's nephew, and Madam He is the Third Prince's aunt. The two families have a deep connection, and they probably have similar hobbies?" Ai Cao said.
"That's right." Mother Liu felt that there was some truth in it.
It is normal for wealthy families to like to collect some gold items at home.
Su Yujin, "..."
I'm afraid it's not that the Third Prince and Madam He like to collect gold artifacts, nor that they have the same hobbies. They are probably influenced by He Yanxiu and like to give gold artifacts to others.
The culprit is still He Yanxiu!
The most abominable thing is that everyone else's gifts have arrived, but He Yanxiu's gifts haven't arrived, and he's nowhere to be found...
Too much! He didn't even know how to coax her, how could he look like he wanted to fall in love with her? Su Yujin pouted for most of the day, and even at night, she jumped out of bed and put on her coat.
"Girl?" Ai Cao, who was sleeping outside, got up in a daze.
"It's okay, you go to sleep. I can't sleep, so I'm going to go for a walk in the yard." Su Yujin wrapped herself in a cloak, held a hand warmer, and pushed open the door.
The moon is bright in the sky, the stars are twinkling, and the night is beautiful.
Su Yujin sat on a soft stool in the corridor, looked up at the stars and the moon for a while, stirred the charcoal fire of the small charcoal stove in the corridor, put the sweet potatoes on the charcoal stove, and roasted them slowly.
When the sweet potato skin became a little dry and its color gradually darkened and the fragrance slowly emanated, Su Yujin turned the sweet potato over again.
"Come out." Su Yujin said.
