When Chief Minister Shen came back, Yue Lingwan had already washed up.
Yue Lingwan was a little nervous when she met Chief Minister Shen.
Shen Shoufu tried his best to look a little more amiable, but when he finally realized that his niece was still afraid of him, he gave up, nodded lightly, and told her to stay there without worry and to tell her aunt if she needed anything.
Yue Lingwan nodded.
The atmosphere during dinner was much quieter than before. Chief Minister Shen still picked up some dishes for Yan Bao, all of which were Yan Bao's favorites. Seeing Madam Shen coming, he picked up some dishes for her, and Madam Shen smiled.
Yue Lingwan didn't expect that at her uncle's house, it was her uncle who picked up the food for them.
Moreover, I made it myself.
Isn’t it said that the capital has many rules and regulations, and they are strict, so why are they so casual?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a spoonful of egg custard in Yue Lingwan's bowl. It was scooped by Yan Bao for her. Knowing that she liked to eat steamed eggs with minced meat, but was embarrassed to eat too much, Yan Bao must take care of the little cousin who just came!
Yue Lingwan blushed slightly: "Thank you, Yanbao."
Yan Bao smiled and shook his head, making a gesture to eat quickly.
Yue Lingwan nodded. She didn't expect that her mute cousin was so kind and caring.
It can be seen that this mute cousin is well taken care of and loved by her family. Just look at what she eats and drinks and you will know that she is not deprived at all. Both her uncle and aunt dote on her very much.
I had heard before that this mute cousin was very likable, and now it seems that she is indeed very likable. Even when I saw her, I couldn't help but want to get close to her and pinch her little face. I think she is much cuter than my own brothers and sisters.
After dinner, they chatted for a while, and then Madam Shen sent Yue Lingwan back to rest. She checked whether there was anything missing in the yard, and found that there was plenty of charcoal and fire. She also reminded the maid who was on night watch to remember to open the windows for ventilation.
Yue Lingwan slept soundly on her first night in the capital.
The next morning, she woke up early and went to pay her respects to her aunt. Mrs. Shen smiled and told her to rest for a while and not to come over specially to pay her respects. There were no such strict rules at home. She also pulled Yan Bao out and gave him a good scolding.
"Look at your cousin Yanbao. She hasn't woken up yet at this time. It must have taken her half an hour." Mrs. Shen was amused and helpless when she talked about her daughter who loved to sleep in. Everything else was fine, except that she loved to sleep.
Mrs. Shen is used to it.
Yue Lingwan didn't expect that Yan Bao could sleep until now.
You have to know that there are quite a lot of rules in their family. They are forced to get up early to pay their respects to their grandmother, and they also have to learn a lot of things. Anyway, sleeping in is impossible, and that is the treatment they get when they are sick.
Yanbao is six years old and can still sleep in. I’m so envious!
The envied Yan Bao woke up and thought that his cousin had come home and he wanted to go and play with her.
When she showed up lovely, Mrs. Shen and the others had already started embroidering and doing needlework. Seeing that she got up, Mrs. Shen asked someone to prepare something to fill her stomach, which was freshly made cassava soup.
Yanbao took out the cassava last night, cut it into pieces, buried it in the snow and froze it overnight. This morning, he took it out, added water, rock sugar and cane sugar and stewed it together. It was soft and sticky and delicious.
Yue Lingwan was stunned when she tasted cassava soup for the first time. "This soup is so delicious! I've never had it before. Is it unique to the capital?"
"No, it's from the south." Seeing that she liked it, Mrs. Shen added some more for her.
Yue Lingwan, who came from the south, was curious: "We don't seem to have any in Luzhou."
"And the south, such as Baiyue." Mrs. Shen also knew from Yan Bao's voice that Baiyue was also called Guangxi. It might be the name they used in heaven. Anyway, it was the same place.
Yue Lingwan really didn't know much about that place. This time, she brought a lot of oranges, saying that they were unique to Luzhou. She brought one orange with her, and it tasted very good, sweet and juicy, with thin skin and thick flesh.
Yan Bao took a look and realized that it was just an uncultivated navel orange.
If he could grow a big and sweet navel orange, Yan Bao wouldn't have to worry about having no more fruit to eat after all the fruit in the space was eaten.
For example, navel oranges.
[There are people in Luzhou now. As long as we grow them, we can definitely sell them for a good price. And the navel oranges can be transported, so there's no need to worry about them spoiling along the way. They can be stored.]
[Wow, if I grow this, won’t I have navel oranges to eat forever?]
Mrs. Shen: “…”
Yanbao, isn’t your little head tired?
Why are you always thinking about eating, drinking, and making money?
Can't you think of something else?
Mrs. Shen recalled her age and found that she was not as good as Yan Bao. Apart from eating, drinking and playing, she seemed to be looking forward to growing up and didn't want to make money at all.
Not as smart as Yanbao!
Mrs. Shen, who was originally complaining, heard Yan Bao's next sentence: "Mom likes to eat navel oranges, so I must plant more!"
Mrs. Shen: “….”
Wow, I'm so touched. How on earth did I give birth to such a lovely and fairy-like daughter?
Just because I like to eat it, I want to plant more.
The way Mrs. Shen looked at Yan Bao was full of maternal love.
Yan Bao: [What's with the love overflowing from my mother's eyes? Could it be that she knows I'm going to plant navel oranges for her, and she's touched?]
[Or, can my mother read minds? ]
Mrs. Shen broke out in a cold sweat, and her love solidified instantly.
Yanbao, don't scare me. How can I read minds? I can't do anything.
"Yanbao, take your cousin out for a walk, for example, to your princess's residence." Just don't suspect that your mother can read your mind, and you can go wherever you want.
As soon as the Princess's Mansion was mentioned, Yan Bao's attention was immediately diverted. He called Yue Lingwan to her Princess's Mansion and took them around for a while, but Yue Lingwan, who never left the house, was exhausted.
