Little Bell was really happy now.
Because Pei Huan was going to stay at the Lin family, Zhao didn't rest and immediately took her daughter-in-law to clean the room.
In fact, she would clean these rooms every other day, but after all, they were for important guests to live in, so it would be more reassuring to clean them thoroughly again.
The room is just opposite Little Bell's room, separated by a patio, but they can see each other across the door.
Moreover, when the window is opened, you can see the lotus pond across the courtyard, and the scenery looks very nice.
Pei Huan liked it very much and immediately asked Yuehua to get the gift.
However, there were so many carriages and so many things brought back that all the boxes, big and small, were piled together, and it was impossible to tell which was which.
Zhao was stunned. "What are these?"
Fang couldn't help but chuckle, "Mom, these are the gifts I brought back.
Some were bought by me, some were bought by Xiao Lingling, and some were bought by Uncle Jiang.
Some were bought by my sister-in-law, and some were even given to me by Xiao Lingling’s new friends.
In short, there are so many of them that it is indeed difficult to distinguish them.
I think we should open them one by one, and whichever one we come across will be the one!"
Zhao didn't know what to say for a moment. Seeing that it was getting dark, she said, "How about this, let's move everything into the warehouse first.
Let's go cook and eat first. We can open the gifts tomorrow when everyone comes back!"
Pei Huan nodded. "That's good too. It will save me from a mess when I open it, which will make it hard to sort out."
Seeing her say so, Fang nodded quickly and asked Lin Feng to ask the driver to move the things inside.
In the end, only four of these coachmen stayed, but all the guards brought by Pei Huan stayed.
However, there were not enough rooms, so they were temporarily arranged to live in the Jiang family next door.
Zhao went straight into the kitchen to prepare cooking. Sun, who had heard the news, hurried back. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a large scene of people coming and going.
She was a little surprised, but didn't say anything and followed Zhao into the kitchen.
"Hey, why are there so many people in the yard? Didn't they say Xiao Lingdang and the others are back?"
Zhao explained while picking vegetables, "Yes, Xiao Lingdang and the others are back, and there's also a nobleman from the capital who's out for a stroll. That's why there are more people here."
You came just in time, please help me, I can’t cook so much food by myself.”
Sun nodded and immediately started to help with the work, "Okay, let's do this, I'll help you cook some of the meals these few days, and we'll cook them at my house, otherwise you don't have enough space here.
I'll bring it to you when I'm done. Just let me know in advance what you need to do."
Zhao didn't bother to be polite with her. "Okay, it's late today, so let's just make do with this for now. I'll tell you about tomorrow's later!"
As they were talking, a few maids came in carrying two boxes.
"Madam, we are the cooks brought by Madam, here to help. This box contains the ingredients and kitchen utensils we brought. If you need any help, just ask us.
Frying, stir-frying, cooking, or helping out is all fine!"
Zhao knew at a glance that these people were all used to working, but looking at their demeanor, she knew that they must be people brought by the Queen.
She was just worried that the food might not be to the other person's liking, so she came over immediately.
"Oh, no need to call me old lady, we don't have so many rules here. But you came at the right time, we are in a remote area and the food supply is limited.
Can you guys see if there's anything your wife isn't eating? Or if there's anything she likes, we can prepare it quickly."
Aunt Qiao smiled when she saw her friendly look and said, "Don't worry, we have brought the ingredients, but we may need to borrow your kitchen.
And you don’t have to worry too much. Our wife is not picky about food. She just wants a combination of meat and vegetables.
If you're not sure, how about this: I'll be the chef tonight and you'll know for sure, okay?"
There was nothing wrong with that. Zhao nodded immediately and brought Sun to help. Soon even Fang came.
Originally, Pei Huan also wanted to come and help, but Zhao Shi didn't dare let her do it, so she quickly sent Xiao Lingdang to take people out.
Pei Huan stood in the corridor, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"My dear, do you think I came to the wrong place? I just wanted to go out for a walk, but now I have caused your grandparents a lot of trouble."
Xiao Lingling pulled her over to sit on the rocking chair. "It's okay, they're just not used to it. After you stay here for a couple of days, they'll slowly get better."
They were like this when I adopted the county magistrate's wife as my godmother. But now they get along very well."
Pei Huan nodded, "That's great. Phew! Actually, I really envy your family. The family is harmonious, talking and laughing, such a relationship is rare in the capital.
Even I didn't feel anything for many years after my father took a concubine. My mother was also depressed because of this and died at a young age.
After that, once I entered the palace, I could no longer be free. Feeling this atmosphere in your home now really makes me feel like I'm in another world.
But, fortunately I came, otherwise I would probably never feel it again in my life."
As he spoke, Pei Huan seemed to think of the past, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.
For children like them who grew up in the capital, this most ordinary feeling is the most precious.
Xiao Lingling didn't know how to comfort her, so she just held Pei Huan's hand with her little hand and accompanied her in this way.
After nearly an hour of hard work, dinner was finally served on the table. The various delicious dishes made everyone's mouths water.
Pei Huan deliberately refused the main seat and sat next to Xiao Lingling. She no longer had the aura of a queen, but was just like an ordinary woman, happily looking at the table full of delicious food.
Jiang Xinian knew what she meant, so he asked Lin Changshu and Zhao to start eating first.
Lin Changshu felt a little restrained, but seeing Jiang Xinian nodding at him, he had no choice but to go ahead!
He casually picked up a piece of vegetable with his chopsticks, said a few words, and everyone started eating quickly.
Pei Huan was not restrained at all. He took whatever he wanted to eat. He usually was too restrained to eat too much of the food, but today he could finally eat as much as he wanted.
Yuehua just watched quietly from the side without stopping it.
Little Lingling was also enjoying the food, her mouth full. "Wow, it's delicious! Come on, godmother, try this chicken stewed with mushrooms, it's delicious, so fresh!"
Ah, and that one, that one is braised fish, it smells so good. Mommy, mommy, please help me get a bowl of soup, I, I’m choking! "
"Hey, little ancestor, eat slowly! Someone who doesn't know would think you were starving before. You clearly ate a lot of grilled fish at noon!"
