Chapter 90 Zhou Qiongying delivers an important New Year speech
Ever since Zhou Qiongying found out that Jiang Zhen sneaked out in the middle of the night to ask his two sons to fight the landlord, from that day on... he never left their dormitory early every night.
We don’t know what happened inside, and we don’t dare to ask.
This day.
The Jiang family gathered around the dining table to eat together early in the morning.
Zhou Qiongying always felt that...these children at the border had not had anything good to eat over the years.
Especially Jiang Yueyao, who is a little pitiful even in the capital.
After entering the palace, she must have lived even more cautiously.
So these days, Zhou Qiongying has been trying different ways to prepare delicious food for the children, and even breakfast is particularly rich.
Jiang Yueyao was so happy while eating.
Although the variety of ingredients, utensils and seasonings in ancient times cannot compare to those in later times... they still require a lot of effort.
Look at this chicken soup. The fat and tender local chicken is boiled all night, and mushrooms and bamboo shoots are added to enhance the flavor. The soup is bright in color and has a mellow taste... Using it to make chicken noodles is simply a pleasure!
And the fish soup is milky white, without a trace of fishy smell, but instead has a light sweetness.
Early in the morning, there was a plate of roasted rabbit meat on the table. The rabbit was roasted to perfection on the outside and tender on the inside, and then sliced into slices by the cook's skillful hands.
It is delicious whether served with chicken noodle soup or white porridge.
In addition, the various side dishes are also delicious and tasty.
Jiang Yueyao ate a bowl of chicken noodle soup and couldn't help but ask someone to help her get a bowl of porridge.
It’s so delicious.
"Baji, baji, baji~~"
Jiang Zhen held the bowl of porridge in his hands and stared at his little daughter as she ate it greedily.
Serve with porridge.
Although I cannot eat these delicious foods, if my daughter eats them it is as if I have eaten them.
…
…
The meal is over.
Jiang Yueyao slumped lazily in the chair, already beginning to miss what delicious food she would have for lunch.
Zhou Qiongying looked at this 'Ge You-paralyzed' child and... the child's father, and smiled with satisfaction.
Almost every mother has the pleasure of being a pig keeper.
After drinking a sip of tea, Zhou Qiongying gave a speech as the head of the family.
"Although it is the Chinese New Year, we can't just eat and drink every day and do nothing."
"Uncle, it's time for you to deliver the New Year gifts prepared for the clan. I also specially prepared cotton clothes and shoes as well as various food and toys for mother. Mother is alone in the clan, and although no one will bully her, it will make her happy if you, as her son, visit her often."
Anyway, Mrs. Jiang is now trapped in the ancestral home and cannot go out, let alone make trouble. Zhou Qiongying is happy to use some money to make Mrs. Jiang live more comfortably and let Jiang Zhen win the reputation of being filial.
This is serious business. Jiang Zhen nodded, agreed, and prepared to set off soon.
"Also, the war is over this year. Those old brothers of ours on the battlefield, who used to be able to see each other whenever they looked up, now each has their own mansion... Uncle should also go visit them. No matter how good the relationship is, it will fade away if there is no contact for a long time... Yuan Song, you go with your father."
Jiang Zhen and Jiang Yuansong both nodded and agreed.
What Jiang Zhen was thinking was... Oh, I can go see my old brother, and secretly have a drink and eat some snacks, not bad, not bad, this is how it should be!
However, Jiang Yuansong looked at his mother and understood what she meant.
Let Jiang Yuansong go with Jiang Zhen, on the one hand, Jiang Yuansong is thoughtful and can keep an eye on Jiang Zhen, a rough guy... on the other hand.
The Jiang family now has a title, and this title will definitely be passed on to the eldest brother Jiang Yuansong in the future.
Then it would be necessary to let Jiang Yuansong go along to get to know those uncles and aunts on the battlefield.
After arranging this matter, Zhou Qiongying couldn't help but glance at her second son...
I have two sons, and they are both my flesh and blood. But there is only one title, so I have to give it to the second son.
While Zhou Qiongying felt distressed, she was also worried that her second son would become depressed and a rift would arise between the brothers.
However……
Seeing this, Zhou Qiongying didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
Good guy... While she was giving a speech, Jiang Yuanbai was actually daydreaming.
And I don’t know what he was thinking about, but he actually started laughing and his face was blushing!
Jiang Yueyao, who was watching the show on the side, couldn't help shaking her head.
[Your face is red, bubble teapot! ]
[Tsk tsk tsk, my second brother's expression is obviously aroused]
[It seems that we need to sign the red line between him and my second sister-in-law as soon as possible, otherwise this guy will be grinning foolishly every day, and I am worried about the lack of oxygen in the house.]
Jiang Yuehua lowered her head and smiled, and Jiang Yuanbai sat up straight.
Yaoyao really is... Since Yaoyao is so proactive, then act quickly.
Pulling the red line or something like that...if it's fake, I hope it's real; if it's real, I hope it's fast!
Zhou Qiongying coughed lightly and was about to continue her speech when Jiang Zhen beside her suddenly clapped his hands.
"Speaking of visiting my old brothers, I suddenly remembered something... Well, I don't know what my elder brother Xie has been busy with these days, and I can't even find him!"
If he couldn't find his big brother Xie, would he have to drag the two little bastards at home to play cards together?
【Thank you, brother? 】
[Oh, it's the Loyal and Brave Marquis, right?]
[Hey, Dad would never have thought that his brother Xie would soon be slandered for treason and his entire family would be exiled.]
[If Zhuti'er's grandmother was not the eldest princess of the royal family, exile alone would not be enough]
[Ah, it’s really worrying to talk about it… I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately, but I can’t think of any good way to catch the trace and remind Pig’s Hoof! ]
[Really, I lost weight just thinking about it!!]
Jiang Yueyao touched her waist, which had obviously gained weight, and shook her head regretfully.
On the side, Jiang Yuehua smiled slightly.
Don't worry, Yaoyao. You have already reminded Zhuti'er, ahem, the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
I guess the reason my father couldn't find Uncle Xie during this period was because they were busy thinking about how to fight back.
According to the time indicated by Yaoyao's inner voice, this scene will probably happen soon.
However...
Jiang Yuehua crossed her hands, looking thoughtful.
Although Yaoyao had already reminded Xie Yanqing, Yaoyao herself didn't know...
If the counterattack of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion is successful, and Yaoyao finds that things are completely different from what she predicted, will she have doubts?
Besides, Yaoyao being so worried is not good for her health.
Why not find an opportunity to guide her to remind Xie Yanqing?
In this way, everyone is happy.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuehua took the initiative to speak.
"It seems that the New Year is coming soon, and Uncle Xie is very busy... I heard that the Grand Princess has not been in good health since the beginning of winter. Why don't I take Yaoyao with me to visit the Grand Princess and bring the New Year gifts we prepared for the Xie family."
In this way, he would have a legitimate reason to go to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery with him, and he could also let Yaoyao give Xie Yanqing a "good" reminder.
