Chapter 1209: Eating and Family Harmony (Part I)
When the family came to the dining room of the back house, the wine and food on the table were almost all prepared, all of which were prepared by Yang's mother to the cooks at home.
Seven or eight dishes, plus two soups, the dishes look very simple, but here is full of knowledge, Yang's mother in addition to asking the cooks to prepare Yang Huairen's favorite dishes, but also do not forget a few daughters-in-law.
They come from different places, and there is a big gap in taste, like He Zhiyun, Tie Xiangyu and Lan Ruoxin, they are all trained in martial arts, and the necessary meat and egg dishes are indispensable.
Yang Mu and Lian'er are semi-vegetarians, the meat and vegetables rarely move, and they basically only eat green vegetables and tofu, especially Yang Mu is now very fond of Buddhism, and from time to time she wants to eat the Buddha of Zhai, and she will not touch meat dishes.
There are also two children, who are now almost nine months old, and they will soon have to be weaned, and as they grow larger, they also need more kinds of food nutrition, so they are used to simple and easy-to-digest foods such as rice porridge and egg custard.
Therefore, it is a profound knowledge to simply take care of a few dishes, but to take care of all the family members who eat.
The harmony of a family, in addition to the maintenance of the emotional ties between each other, the habit of eating, mutual tolerance and mutual habits, is also a very key part, and it can even be said that eating and family harmony are very important.
Fortunately, chef Yang Huairen knows a lot of dishes, and he also pays attention to the combination of nutrients, so this simple family banquet can be regarded as a scientific and reasonable arrangement.
He Zhiyun invited Mother Yang to sit down first, Mother Yang smiled and was just about to take a seat, halfway through the seat, then stood up again, and said to Sister Ghost kindly, "Ghost ...... It's called......"
Sister Ghost first arrived, although she felt the enthusiasm of Yang Huairen's whole family for her, she was still a little worried in her heart, she was afraid that if she did something wrong, it would make Yang's mother and several other sisters feel uncomfortable.
And she is the identity of the princess of Liao, and with such a big difference in race and identity, will it become a great barrier for her to integrate into the Yang family, which is also something she can't let go of for a while.
Sure enough, her worries soon became a reality, and when the ghost sister walked into the dining room of the back house, she didn't know how to sit in her identity at first.
On formal occasions, the Khitan people have the habit of eating separately, even if they sit around, they just grab and eat around a pot of meat.
Before she could figure out where she should sit, she encountered another problem, her name was very inconvenient for the Yang family to call.
The Khitan name is not even used by Yang Huairen, and it has always been the name of the Hulun Yabu that she first told Yang Huairen, but the word Ghost Festival is convenient to call, but it is awkward to listen to, in the Han people, no one uses the word "ghost" in the name.
As soon as Mother Yang opened her mouth, she was embarrassed, but fortunately, Sister Ghost was clever and realized the difference in everyone's customs and habits, and she was not unwilling to change in order to let her integrate into the new living environment as soon as possible.
"Old lady, why don't you give me a pleasant Han name."
Yang Huairen was taken aback, then a little moved, and a little ashamed. It feels good to get along with Sister Ghost, as a man, it is rare to make a blue-eyed Caucasian woman, and a stunning beauty fall in love with him.
Even the inner machismo of a yellow man is a psychological pride that cannot be escaped.
His kindness to Sister Ghost is reflected in his emotional acceptance and care in life, but he didn't expect to take Sister Ghost home home, but he was still negligent and didn't think it through, which made her feel uncomfortable, and Yang Huairen was inevitably a little ashamed in his heart.
He was used to calling Sister Ghost, but he didn't feel anything, but he didn't expect that his family must be uncomfortable with the name of Sister Ghost.
Sister Ghost still tried her best to accommodate according to the habits of the Han people, like her, as Yang Huairen's concubine in the strict sense, she used "old lady" very regularly for the title of Yang's mother.
This shows that Sister Ghost is trying her best to change herself, and even gave up her nobility as a princess of Liao, and deigned to accommodate the etiquette and habits of Yang Huairen and his family.
Yang Huairen thinks about it, since Sister Ghost arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, the previous willful and strange character has not been shown once, and it can really be said that people have paid a lot and changed a lot for him.
When Yang Huairen heard the words "old lady" coming out of the ghost sister's mouth, he couldn't stand it with emotion, and remembered that the ghost sister deceived her father into following him to the Great Song Dynasty, which made this kind of emotion even more incomprehensible.
As for the fact that Sister Ghost had deceived and used him before, he was no longer entangled in his heart, and even felt that without the same experience as before, the two of them could not have a good relationship like now.
Mother Yang was also very moved, after all, Sister Ghost was a princess, her identity was there, and when it came to diplomacy, Mother Yang didn't dare to assert herself, so she threw this problem to her son.
Yang Huairen understood the deep meaning in his mother's eyes, so he smiled, "Why don't we think about it together and help you think of a smooth and auspicious name to use in our family." ”
This is to let the other daughters-in-law show favor to the ghost sister, He Zhiyun and a few of them remembered the Khitan name of the ghost sister and the name of the Hulun Yabu mentioned in Yang Huairen's family letter, so they planned to take the word from it to give the ghost sister a name that the Han people can call and sound good.
The seven major names of the ghost sister are Yelu rulers, and they are embarrassed when they scream, and the other name is the Hulun Erya Ghost Festival, which is not good with a ghost word, which is difficult for everyone.
He Zhiyun proposed to be called "Jin'er", which was smooth, but the meaning was a bit insufficient, and she couldn't be called the identity of the ghost sister princess.
Lian'er thought of the title of "Erya", which was fresh and elegant, but Erya pouted and disagreed, saying that Erya and Erya sounded similar, and it was easy to confuse her with the fifth sister-in-law.
However, Lan Ruo, who was a little cold to the ghost sister at the beginning, thought of a nice name, and changed the section in the ghost sister's name to clean, which sounded a lot better.
Tie Xiangyu felt that this name was okay, and together with her name, she just made up a kind gesture of Bingqing Yujie, and expressed her approval of Lan Ruoxin's proposal.
But Yang Huairen felt bad, and in the future, he would be called Ghost Sister Xiaojie, and he would listen to it like a young lady, and it might be no problem to call this word now, but thinking of the meaning of the word Miss in the future, Yang Huairen had to shake his head and object.
Yang Huairen looked up at Sister Ghost again, looked at her blue-eyed Westerner face, and suddenly had a thought in his heart, there are so many beautiful English girl names in later generations, why not take one and use it?
He smiled, "I thought about it, Xiao Jie is still too ordinary, why don't you call Jie Xi?" ”
He Zhiyun should be kind and said, "Bing Qing Yujie, pitiful, good name!" ”
