Lin Youning called Shanmei and Hailan to sit down, and Li Si sat at another table with the guards, but soon Lin Youning found out that it was time to eat, and no one upstairs came up again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Glancing at Li Si, Li Si hurriedly turned his gaze away as if he had a weak heart.

Lin Youning knew that Li Si did it, and when the dishes were served by the old woman, Lin Youning was also a little reluctant, because she came here to eat, and she took care of the other party to earn money.

"Roast leg of lamb should be eaten while roasting, if the lady doesn't mind, the old woman will roast it for the lady herself."

Lin Youning hurriedly thanked him, "Then don't bother the old woman." ”

Knowing that the other party had good intentions, Lin Youning felt guilty before, so naturally he didn't refuse.

"This is a cold salad made of thick leaves grown in our border city, but in other places it is a flower, this plant is mostly planted like a flower, but it is an ornamental leaf, never blooms, and the leaves are thick, and when the snow falls, directly move these outside, let the snow freeze, this thick leaf will not change color again, when eating, just wash it with water and mix it with condiments to eat." The old woman introduced a few dishes while roasting meat, "This dish should be eaten more when you first arrive in the border city, and go to the fire, after all, the climate here is dry and very easy to get angry, if the lady does not dislike it, you can take some back to the house when you leave, and let the people in the house make it for the lady to eat on weekdays." ”

The old woman was afraid that the other party would not understand, so she explained deeply, "There are only old women here in this thick-leafed border city, and they are all raised by old women in their own houses on weekdays. ”

Lin Youning then understood, no wonder I didn't see the house doing this, it seems that this is a flower raised by someone herself, and now she is getting it out and eating it.

It's talking about the thick leaves that eat a lot of water inside, because they have been frozen outside, and the water in the entire thick leaves is icy and refreshing.

"So thank you mother-in-law." Lin Youning also likes to eat this dish.

Originally, she loved to be a vegetarian, and this dish can be regarded as her taste.

When the old woman saw that Lin Youning had agreed, she seemed to have received some reward, her eyes narrowed when she smiled, and then introduced the next few dishes.

Lin Youning sighed after listening to it, although it is only in the border city, but look at the signature dishes in this store, they are all made with heart, and this dish will be popular even in the capital.

In particular, there is a grill next to the table, and the lamb chops on it are grilled under the charcoal fire, and the aroma is slowly coming out.

It's a bit like barbecue in the winter in the capital.

Shanmei and Hailan helped, and the old woman did not stop her, and Lin Youning observed that the old woman did not appear flustered under the help of Shanmei and Hailan, but still arranged things very steadily as before.

Seeing this scene, Lin Youning unconsciously thought of Mama Guo, Mama Guo who came out of the palace was like this, no matter what it was, she would do it easily in Mama Guo's eyes.

Lin Youning's eating movements slowed down, his eyes were also looking at the old woman, he didn't wear anything in his hair bun, and his clothes were neat, when Lin Youning was looking at the other party, the old woman raised her head and smiled, not feeling flustered at all.

This kind of bearing is not like an ordinary ordinary citizen.

And the old woman seemed to be very happy that Lin Youning looked at her, and the smile on her face deepened a little.

After the meal, the old woman invited Lin Youning to her back house again, "I still have thick leaves raised indoors, do you want to take a look?" ”

Shanmei and Hailan became vigilant this time, and Li Si on the side also walked over slowly, this old woman's actions were too enthusiastic, and it always made people feel that she had some purpose.

Lin Youning also found out, but she didn't go, but branched out of the people around her, "You go down and wait for me, I'll talk to the old woman here." ”

"Ma'am." Shanmei is not at ease.

Hailan also disagreed.

Lin Youning shook his head and said with a smile, "You guys go down." ”

Shanmei and Hailan came with Li Si.

And the old woman remained silent.

Lin Youning smiled and said, "If your mother-in-law has anything, just say it." ”

"Madame is wise, old lady, thank you Madame for trusting her." The old woman got up first and saluted Lin Youning, the standard family gift in the capital.

It's very regular.

Lin Youning also became more and more strange in her heart, who was this old woman, and what she had to say to her.

"Please forgive me, the old woman is familiar with Madame, I don't know if I can ask Madame where she is from?" The old woman came directly.

Lin Youning said with a smile, "I saw my mother-in-law raise her finger, if she didn't come out of a big family in the capital, or she was a subordinate in a big family, my mother said that she looked at me familiarly, I don't know if my mother-in-law was an errand in Prime Minister Liu's mansion?" ”

The old woman's eyes widened significantly, "Madame is from the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"Prime Minister Liu is my maternal grandfather." Lin Youning replied.

The old woman nodded, as if caught in a memory, and there was an indescribable sadness on her face.

Lin Youning asked, "Does my mother-in-law recognize my grandmother or mother?" ”

At this time, the only thing Lin Youning could guess was whether this person was the grandmother next to his mother?

The old woman shook her head and said apologetically, "Please also ask the lady to atone for her sins, it seems that the old woman recognized the wrong person, and the old woman did not work as an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Lin Youning nodded, feeling that she was not telling the truth, but no matter what, her mother had passed away, even if she knew her mother, it was a thing of the past, and she didn't want to ask again.

When he went downstairs, the old woman said that she would let people send things directly to the house, Lin Youning thanked him again, and Li Si asked him to give an extra ten taels of silver when he checked out, and the old woman did not refuse.

Shanmei and Hailan didn't know what the old woman and the girl said, so they walked around the streets again after dinner, and then the group returned home.

When they returned to the mansion, the old woman had already asked people to send things to the mansion, except for the thick leaves, there were other things, Lin Youning didn't understand, but I heard the porter say that they were all things that could be encountered but not sought in the border city.

Lin Youning didn't expect the other party to be so attentive, so after thinking about it, he asked Shanmei to find two pieces of cloth from the cloth brought from the capital and send them over.

Although Li Si gave ten taels of silver, the other party's mind was not something that could be bought with silver.

Wu Xueqin was in a much better mood at this time, "Did you really hear clearly?" Did Master Hou really leave the house angry with that side? ”

Carambola smiled, "Auntie, don't worry, now the house is talking about this matter, saying that the Hou Ye came out of the main courtyard with a bad face, and then went out to drink, came back in the middle of the night, left the house the next day, and has not returned to the house until now."
