Chapter 58 What does pepper taste like in desserts
"The daughters-in-law of the eldest branch of our Qin family, especially the eldest daughter-in-law, are all married to military families. They are very knowledgeable about swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, but when it comes to the private affairs of the harem and the fighting in the court, it is difficult for them to be proficient in them."
Madam Qin sighed and looked at her daughters-in-law with pity: "They are straightforward and have no ulterior motives, which suits the temperament of our Qin family. However, this century-old foundation is built on the bones of generations, not on scheming and fighting. If we really meet someone with ulterior motives, how can we protect ourselves?"
The three ladies all lowered their heads with a look of shame on their faces, and even He nodded repeatedly.
Her mother's family was also a family of military generals, and her father and brother were comrades in arms who fought with the old Marquis Wuning.
She had admired Qin Hanwei since she was a child. Regardless of whether he was the son of Marquis Wuning or not, she was willing to stay with him. On the day she married him, she went out with a smile because she couldn't hide her joy.
But when she held her infant daughter in her arms and watched three coffins being brought into the marquis's mansion that year, He suddenly wished she had never met that young man who always loved to smile.
Later, she asked her son to study hard and did not want him to touch those weapons and military books. Secretly, she did not want him to follow the path of his father and grandfather.
The Qin family thought they were safe and secure, but in fact, it was already full of loopholes.
"So Qianqian, you can make your own decisions on these matters, or you can discuss them with Hanzhang. You are the headmistress of my Qin family, and you can make such decisions."
Mrs. Du looked at Su Qianqian and added.
[Okay, the ball is back. 】
"Then Qianqian is overstepping her bounds. Let's tell the elders about these families."
Su Qianqian thought for a moment: "Except for the Duke Xuan's Mansion, the General Wuwei Mansion can have open dealings with the Six Families, because Yu Zhuo has always been on good terms with the Fourth Miss, so there is no need to worry about attracting attention.
The Jinglüe Mansion had to make secret friends, and Jinglüe's wife was most willing to get the news. Jinglüe also held the military and political power in Xijing, and was afraid of arousing suspicion. ”
"As for the Chief Censor, he is the most straightforward person. If he were to say a few words about something he believes in, it would be more effective than us explaining it in various ways. So we must make sure that his daughter understands our intentions. However, we also know that we are open-minded and have no ulterior motives."
"There's no need to send the other two families off. The two girls are cousins, and they love to compete and show off. They can't help with serious matters, but they may be the source of trouble. There's no need for such friendship. Let the other three families know in the future that they are different."
Su Qianqian paused after she finished speaking: "Qianqian doesn't understand that much either. I don't know if what I said is wrong. I need my grandmother and mother to correct me."
Madam Qin nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Qianqian is so thoughtful that she actually knows the personalities and characters of these people. This is really rare."
"Grandma, you are too kind. I was just making a casual comment."
[Miss San only knows a few of the ladies, and they are talking about people around them. When you go to set up the tea, you will understand by listening to them a few times. It is not difficult. 】
Su Qianqian felt that the original owner was worthy of being the daughter of Master Su. She observed these small details very well. It was a pity that she could not see through the situation when she was in it. As the saying goes, a doctor cannot treat himself.
Mrs. Du looked at her daughter, and Qin Yuzhuo turned her head away guiltily.
Qin Yuzhuo: My brain is never wasted on this!
Du: Are you sure you have that thing?
At this time, the two masters and several young masters of the Qin family also came in. Except for Qin Hanzhang who went to the military camp, all the family members were present, and Old Lady Qin ordered the meal to be served.
As dishes were served, the Qin family was surprised to find that in each dish, there was a piece of green vegetable that they had never seen before, placed very conspicuously in the middle.
Su Qianqian: Come on, someone come and pinch my philtrum!
"What is this?" Old Madam Qin asked the kitchen manager in confusion.
"This is what the Third Young Master's wife ordered the cook to add to every dish. Since I have never seen this vegetable before and it must be very rare, I dare not taste it."
The housekeeper stood obediently by, she also wanted to know what this thing tasted like, so that the cooks could learn how to use it in the future. This time no one knew what to do, so they just put the piece in the middle for offering.
"Grandma, this is chili pepper, and it tastes spicy... just like ginger or mustard." Su Qianqian explained with difficulty.
"Ginger or mustard..." Old Madam Qin looked at the dishes suspiciously. Why should mustard be put in the dessert? Could it be ginger-flavored osmanthus soup or mustard-flavored milk sweet soup?
"Let's take away all the desserts... eating too much sweets is bad for your health." Su Qianqian ordered calmly.
The steward accepted the order happily. Now they could taste what it tasted like. The Third Young Master’s wife was so nice!
"This taste is spicy and very appetizing, but don't eat too much... Some dishes should not be added with it. I'll tell the chef later."
Su Qianqian stared at the bowl of chili cheese tofu and became obsessed with chili.
Madam Qin picked up the chopsticks first, signaling everyone to eat. The nanny next to her immediately looked at her and served her the dishes. The old lady's eyes fell on the bowl of tofu, and Su Qianqian quickly switched it to a plate of chicken...
Madam Qin: ...
Su Qianqian: I'm just trying to help you avoid a disaster...
Fortunately, after taking a bite of the chicken, Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up. She then signaled with her eyes to change a few dishes. The taste was indeed unique and very appetizing.
Everyone tried it too. Although they couldn't talk while eating, their eyes showed approval. Su Qianqian tasted a few dishes and was secretly glad that she had instructed to only put one slice in. The quality of this pepper was extraordinary. Her bottle of capsaicin... hehe.
After dinner, the family drank tea and chatted. The second master looked at Mrs. Du and said, "Sister-in-law, have you heard about the rumors about Earl Zhongyong?"
Liu secretly rolled her eyes: Now whoever has a rumor should share it quickly. If you have heard it, how can you not tell everyone?
"I haven't heard of it. What's it about?" Mrs. Du's eyes lit up. There was something fishy going on!
"It is said that for some unknown reason, Earl Zhongyong has been hiding during the day and going out at night for several days. The night before, the night patrol officer found that Earl Zhongyong had been beaten black and blue in the yard of a family, and the whereabouts of that family were unknown.
After being sent back to the mansion, Earl Zhongyong was asked if he wanted to file a lawsuit, but he said that he fell down by himself.
Yesterday, the mansion of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery sent out a group of servants and the housekeeper, who took the property deeds and drove out the women of four or five families. Some of them even held their children and knelt in front of the door of the mansion of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery, crying. This matter has spread throughout the streets and alleys. ”
The second master shook his head and laughed after saying this.
[Lord Zhongyong has been enlightened by the gods and is going to clean up his family? I was beaten by a wild man while squatting at night. The wild mandarin ducks flew away after having sex together! Hahaha……】
Su Qianqian was very happy.
[It's not a threesome, they are a family of three. The son is responsible for putting on the sack, the father is swinging the stick, and the woman is kicking! 】The system added quietly.
Qin’s family: Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
System: I’m not in the mood because I’ve fallen out of favor!
The family was talking happily, and Su Qianqian suddenly remembered, why didn't Lu Zhiqing come to have dinner?
Before she could ask, Madam Qin gave the answer: "The Prime Minister's wife and daughter sent a visiting card today and will come to the mansion tomorrow. The card specifically mentioned Miss Lu, so she prepared it in the yard and did not even come to eat lunch."
Su Qianqian's hand hesitated when putting down the tea bowl. Will the mystery of the real and fake daughter be revealed so soon? So will the Qin family encounter more twists and turns?
