Chapter 256 Lin Qingning's invitation
Yanzhi listed all the delicious dishes one by one, and finally Cui Si seemed interested and was willing to drink the medicine.
She drank the medicine in two gulps, ate a candied fruit, and drank a bowl of osmanthus honey water to suppress the bitter taste in her mouth. Only then did Cui Si's frown relax a little.
Suddenly, she thought of something to eat.
"I remember there's something called kudzu. After you wash the rhizome, the pulp will sink to the bottom. After drying it, you can get kudzu powder. Kudzu powder is brewed with hot water and two spoonfuls of osmanthus paste. It's especially delicious. In summer and autumn, you can eat half a bowl and feel refreshed."
Yanzhi immediately agreed: "I'll have someone make it for my wife."
As a medicinal material with a long history, Pueraria root is not a rare thing and is easy to find. As long as you know the method, you can get dried Pueraria powder in just three days.
It smells like ginseng with a faint bitter taste, sweet and slightly astringent, and has the fragrance of grass and trees. It has no taste when eaten, but with two spoons of osmanthus honey, it tastes sweet and very delicious.
While eating a bowl of rice slowly in the autumn breeze, I seem to be able to taste the flavor of the autumn wind.
The Spring and Autumn Period are all included in it.
Cui Si and Yanzhi Songlu were very satisfied after eating. Cui Si ordered people to divide the food into three parts, keeping one for herself, one for Old Lady Xu, and one for Cui Hao.
But she thought about it and said, "Let's divide it into four parts and send one to my uncle."
Although Cui Changyou is a grown man and doesn't care much about food, she has been keeping a close eye on him recently and wants to show some concern for him, so as to avoid pushing him too far and making him run away from home, which would then be a big deal.
Thinking of this, Cui Si sighed: "I am too worried, but I can't help but worry."
She was really afraid that Cui Changyou would accidentally lose his life.
This is her uncle.
Fortunately, although Cui Changyou was a little annoyed by her meddling, he still indulged her. She told him not to wander around this year, and he didn't object. When he went out on weekdays, he would take as many people with him as possible.
Although he is wholeheartedly pursuing freedom and ease, he still cherishes his life.
By September, Cui Si's health had improved a lot. Although she did not actually go to the farm to pick osmanthus flowers, she asked the people in the farm to pick three baskets for her. She took Cui Hao, Yanzhi Songlu and others to prepare various foods.
Cui Si and Cui Hao also made two jars of osmanthus wine and buried them under a tree in a corner of the yard.
At noon, I ate delicious baked pancakes with osmanthus honey. I was so happy that my eyes narrowed.
At this moment, Yanzhi, who was drinking osmanthus drink, was called by someone. She put down her bowl and spoon and walked out. After a while, she hurried back.
"What's wrong with you?" Cui Si asked when she saw that she looked a little unhappy.
Just now we were all eating pancakes and drinking osmanthus drink together happily, but how come his expression changed so suddenly?
"Madam." Yanzhi saluted and then said, "Someone has come from Pingzhou City."
"Who is coming from Pingzhou City? Is it the Yan family? Or the Gong family?" If someone from these two families came, it wouldn't be an unhappy thing.
"Or something happened?"
"No, someone from Pingshan Qiju came to pass on a message." Yanzhi couldn't hold it in any longer when she said this. "It was that Madam Lin."
Cui Si was startled: "What happened to her?"
"She's currently living in Pingshan Residence." Yanzhi bit her lip slightly, looking somewhat unhappy. "I heard from the person who came that she was going back to Beiyan City. She passed through Pingzhou City two days ago, but because she wasn't feeling well, she needed to rest for a few days."
Cui Si nodded: "It's okay."
This has little to do with her.
"That's nothing, but she has sent someone here, asking you to go to Pingzhou City for a chat."
This time, Cui Si was really shocked: "She invited me to Pingzhou City for a chat?"
"Exactly."
Cui Si frowned and looked a little unhappy.
According to her thoughts, she didn't want to get involved in the affairs between Yan Xingchuan and Lin Qingning. It would be best if these two people stayed away from her and didn't bother her.
As for Lin Qingning, she didn't like this person very much, but she didn't want to take revenge. However, she never expected that when she wanted to avoid getting involved, Lin Qingning would come up to her on her own.
No, no, no, he was not approaching her. The other party wanted her, Cui Si, to rush to Pingzhou City to see her.
This is a really big face.
It's not that she is suspicious, but it sounds like a show of force, to first kill Cui Si's prestige and make her bow her head.
Cui Si suddenly felt a little annoyed.
"If you don't want to go, just say I'm sick and can't travel far."
No matter what Lin Qingning was thinking, she didn't want to pay attention to her. Let her play whatever she wanted, don't bother her.
Yanzhi nodded: "I will go and inform the visitor right away."
Yanzhi turned and left. Cui Si took a sip of the osmanthus drink, but she still felt a little upset.
"Who is Madam Lin? Why does she live in Pingshan?" Cui Hao frowned, feeling puzzled.
"Yan Xingchuan's cousin." Cui Si laughed and told Cui Hao the story. "When the Yan family was in trouble, Yan Xingchuan was able to save his life thanks to the protection of the Lin family. The Lin family was also implicated by the Yan family, and the entire clan was killed."
"Lin Qingning fled with Yan Xingchuan back then, but they got separated and have only just been found."
Cui Hao frowned upon hearing this. She didn't feel much about what happened to Lin Qingning from the Lin family, but she was worried about Cui Si: "If such a cousin is good-natured, it's fine. But if she has ulterior motives, I'm afraid she will be difficult to deal with..."
Cui Si said, "Don't worry. If she dares to provoke me, I'm not afraid of her."
Lin Qingning herself doesn't have much ability, but her background is very scary and no one can provoke her.
The Lin family was wiped out by the Yan family, and the Lin brother died in place of Yan Xingchuan. Behind her were dozens of bloody lives of the Lin family.
These are the favors of the dead.
The Lin family saved the only bloodline of the Yan family, which made the Yan family still exist today. The former officers and soldiers of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion were naturally grateful to this orphan of the Lin family, and naturally became her backers.
This is the friendship of living people.
Also, her life was so miserable and painful, and it was because she was separated from Yan Xingchuan when she escaped, which led to her ending up in this situation.
This is Yan Xingchuan's guilt.
Given these three reasons, anyone who goes against Lin Qingning will probably not have a good ending.
Cui Si originally had no intention of fighting with her. There was no need and no benefit in doing so. But if Lin Qingning dared to bully her, she would not tolerate or back down.
It was the Yan family and Yan Xingchuan who owed Lin Qingning, what did it have to do with her.
Her surname is Cui, and she is a daughter of the Cui family. Not to mention that Cui Jing and others have made great contributions to Beiyan, even she herself has made contributions to Beiyan with the books she has written these days.
If a real fight breaks out, she can still overturn the sky of Beiyan, and no one will have an easy time.
