XXXVI. Ginseng and wild duck soup

"They all picked up this and left that, and they wrote letters from the old years, saying that they were old and decrepit...... Ahem," Xue Wangshi suddenly realized, coughed, how to tell the sisters in private before, how to say all the words of the sisters in private before, and quickly changed the topic, "When she is older, she went to Brother Zhu, she was disheartened, thinking about it, she just ate fasting and chanted Buddha, and handed over the affairs of the family." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xue Pan just listened carefully and didn't say a word, "It's just that the old lady takes a fancy to her, and there is really no one else in the family, so she is barely supporting, this time, your second brother Lian is going to marry a daughter-in-law, this is also a girl from the Wang family, her name is Wang Xifeng, you should also call her 'Sister Feng', she is very capable at home, and then I will see how she marries into Rongguo Mansion, can you help your aunt take care of the housework." ”

After babbling about this, Xue Wang came back to his senses, a little embarrassed, "When I get older, I start to break my mouth, and after talking about it for a while, I haven't talked about it yet." ”

"What did Mrs. say," Xue Pan was trying to listen more at this time, after all, the book was not very clear, "I just listened to it, we are in Jinling, many relatives in the family don't know each other, and I haven't seen it, so let's talk about it, but we can understand more, so as not to meet and not know each other in the future, which will be a joke." ”

"What you said is very much, these relatives will always have to move around more in the future, our Xue family is now an imperial businessman, and they have hung signs in the household department and the internal affairs office, and there are also the titles of Ziwei Sheren on their bodies, but in the end they are still inferior to their families, Pan'er Your future income depends on your uncle and aunt."

"This," Xue Pan smiled bitterly, "and not yet, right?" ”

"It's okay to prepare early, I want to finish your Lao Tzu's affairs, and I will take your brothers and sisters into Beijing, I haven't seen these relatives for many years, and I know each other well, and there are some things that are easy to talk about."

Xue Wang's family felt that there were relatives to rely on, and it didn't hurt if the foundation of the Xue family was lost here in Jinling, and he could ask for a background horizontally and vertically, but Xue Pan always felt that it was inappropriate, but his mother was in a good mood, and it was not appropriate to pour cold water, so he said, "Yes, yes!" "That's right.

Xue Wang's family finally returned to the serious words, "Your aunt was originally just an official of the Ministry of Industry, not in the Ministry of Household Affairs or in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if people sell your face, it will be easy to do, but this kind of thing, those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs may not necessarily help, each room has its own way, and now we can watch us deal with it ourselves, it is already a lot." ”

"In addition, your aunt is not easy to talk now, and the eldest sister of Yuanchun entered the palace as a female official, just when she had to rely on the Internal Affairs Office, she couldn't be too out of line at this time."

"Hey!" Xue Pan shook his head, originally thinking that it would be enough to kill the rich second generation in front of the elders in the shadow of the elders, but now, these reliances are all unacceptable.

"As for the Shi family, they took a different path, and they didn't have much contact with us," Xue Wang said, "I wanted to let your aunt come forward and beg the old lady to help, but it was hard to say whether the old lady added it, so I just thought about it." ”

This is the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue, Xue Pan nodded, "Relatives will be in trouble for a while, and it is common for them not to be able to help, and there is no need for my wife to be sad." ”

Xue Wang's family didn't guard against Xue Pan's calmness, and glanced at it in surprise, to know what Xue Pan used to be, if he couldn't get it, he would have to cry for a long time, these relatives are close at hand, and the means are good, if they can help talk, it will be of great help to the Xue family's affairs.

"Eunuch Xia has been given a grace period of half a month, and it is too late to invite relatives to come forward at this time, since the wife said that at the critical time of my uncle's career now, he is not the head of the household department nor the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he is not directly in charge, so it is not good to intervene more, this matter still has to be done by yourself."

"Do it yourself, what should I do?" Xue Wang said, she was a little worried, "This matter, just for half a month, I'm afraid it's not enough, why don't you ask the president of Jinling Province to come forward for your mother and help say peace with one or two?" A grace period of a few days is also good. ”

"I'm afraid that Eunuch Xia can't be the master of this matter, you must know that the palace must be sent on time!"

"yes." Xue Wang said disappointedly, "You can't delay the hour." ”

Xue Wang's face was sallow, these days I was sad that Xue Ding had died, and I was worried that Zhufang would come to force the position, and I had to take care of the things that were sent outside, plus Xue Pan took out the bird's nest and fell and fainted, and he was already physically exhausted and could not continue to be strong, Xue Pan looked a little distressed, "Don't worry, madam," he comforted Xue Wang's at this time.

"Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! The worst outcome is just to hand over the errand of the weaving house, and a few of us are still idle. ”

"I'm glad you can say that," Xue Wang nodded with satisfaction.

Yang Liu took out a colorful plum bamboo kiln cup and said to Xue Wang, "Madam, the ginseng soup has been boiled." ”

Xue Pan waved his hand, signaling Yang Liu to come forward, Yang Liu put the tray and the bowl on the kang table, as soon as it was opened, the umami suddenly spread, and this mellow umami with a trace of bitterness, there seems to be some fly in the ointment taste, the soup in the cup is white and shiny, mellow, Yang Liu said, "This is the newly obtained Changbai Mountain old ginseng, the imperial doctor said, fresh ginseng, the medicinal properties are too good, I dare not use more, just take a few beards, accompanied by astragalus, wolfberry, hibiscus flowers, single wood, wild duck rolled together for a night, It is said that it can nourish the body, so my wife will use it quickly, right? ”

Yang Liu is the first proud girl in Xue Wang's room, and she has always been in charge of eating.

"Where is the ginseng coming from at this time?" Xue Wang couldn't eat anything, just shook his head, "Leave it alone." ”

Seeing that his mother didn't drink, Xue Pan couldn't help but gag, he sniffled hard, "Ouch, this soup is really fragrant, Yang Liu, you hurry up, and bring me a bowl." ”

"Uncle, this is medicine, you can mix it there," Yang Liu smiled slightly, "It's just that the wild duck is still in the pot, if the uncle is hungry, I'll tear a leg for you." ”

"Hurry up," Xue Pan rubbed his hands, "I'll accompany my wife to use some, such a good thing, I can't let my wife eat alone." ”

Xue Wang's family was amused, Yang Zhi hurriedly persuaded Xue Wang's family to use some, "Wait until tomorrow, my wife will go out to guard the spirit, and receive the orders, if the spirit is short, this will not work!" ”

Xue Wang's family also has to take care of face, Xue Pan also persuaded him, and accompanied Xue Wang's to eat a wild duck leg, the duck leg is delicious, Yang Liu is very careful, this ginseng soup simmered out, originally without salt, served to Xue Pan, poured a few drops of good soy sauce from Chang Shu, wonderful pen flowers, finishing touch, Xue Pan almost swallowed the bone slag, Yang Liu saw the mouth and smiled, but Yang Zhi glanced at his uncle.

Xue Pan saw that his mother had eaten some, so he asked, "This ginseng is really good?" Where did you come from? ”

"It was brought back from Kanto by the third master."

"Third master?" Xue Pan suddenly thought of something, "But I remember, he seems to have gone to Lingnan!" ”
