MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 196 Before New Year's Eve
Chapter 196 Before the New Year
“Okay, let’s try it, it won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
When Mrs. Gu spoke, no one would refute her.
Luo Yuan also looked at everyone holding out their chopsticks with a happy face, waiting to hear the good comments.
As a result, Xing Zhao spit it out with a whoosh, then looked at Luo Yuan with a nose that was not a nose and a mouth that was not a mouth and asked.
“What did you put in it? Is it so salty?”
"Is it salty? I just added a little salt."
Everyone else also vomited out their words one after another, and drank the water or wine in front of them. Obviously, Xing Zhao was right.
Luo Yuan did not believe in evil, so he took a piece and tasted it.
At first I was full of confidence, but in the end I vomited it out in one bite.
Grabbed the wine bowl in front of Xing Zhao and drank it first as a sign of respect.
Then he said with a sad face.
"What? Such good wild boar meat was wasted. Where did the salt in the kitchen come from? Is it so arrogant?"
It is true that he didn't play much, but when he heard this, Mr. Du laughed.
His eyes rolled around and he asked.
“What kind of jar is Vice General Luo holding?”
“It was just a black jar in the corner. It didn’t look like much, so I just spread it on the meat and marinated it.”
Hearing this, Mr. Du said dumbfounded.
"That jar is made of salt crystals, which have not yet been melted for use. I was afraid that it was snowing heavily in Zhuangzi and I would not be able to go out to buy anything, so I had someone send salt crystals. One jar is enough for everyone in Zhuangzi to eat. It’s been a month and you’ve already finished it in one meal, so it’s weird if it’s not salty.”
After Mr. Du finished speaking, Luo Yuancai slapped his head and felt regretful.
At that time, when he went into the kitchen to get something, he saw that everyone was busy, so he didn't ask any questions.
When I smelled it, it smelled like salt, so I took it and touched it.
"I said, why is the salt on Zhuangzi so coarse? I thought everyone in your house likes to eat coarse salt."
Hearing Luo Yuan’s explanation, everyone burst out laughing.
Xing Zhao sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said.
“Brother Luo, please be more noble next time and don’t harm this food. You said it’s not easy for brothers to hunt wild boars. Now look at it, how are we going to eat it?”
Last time, the meat was burnt, but this time, the meat was salted.
What else can Xing Zhao say?
But Luo Yuan was determined to not give up.
He said with his strong white teeth and patted his chest.
“Don’t worry, everyone, I will go to the mountains to hunt another one and come back tomorrow, and I promise to make a good meal for everyone!”
His attitude of never giving up until he achieves his goal made even Du Jingxiang laugh non-stop.
Even the atmosphere was not quite right, and Gu Xiaolang, who was feeling a little sad, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and couldn't help laughing.
Cherry's eyes rolled in her head no matter how many times.
Can this guy really be a lieutenant general with his stupidity?
She couldn't help but doubt for the 101st time!
“Okay, okay, there aren’t many living creatures in the back mountain. You’ve hunted enough today. If you go back tomorrow, I’m afraid there won’t even be a single person breathing in this small half of the mountain next spring.”
The fourth aunt said jokingly.
When she was still in the army, Luo Yuan had followed Shang Ji, but in her eyes he was just a young man.
So when she spoke, Luo Yuan did not refute, but just muttered something in a low voice.
“Next time, I will make it delicious!”
It is snowing heavily outside, but the inner room is as warm as usual.
After happily staying at Zhuangzi in Wuling for three days, everyone set off back to Sui'an City.
In a blink of an eye, the day has arrived on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
In Xitang Courtyard.
Du Jingyi slept particularly comfortably in Shang Ji's arms.
She has become a little fairy who has nothing to do these days.
Mammy Dou and Butler He take charge of the trivial matters at home, and they are basically settled before she even gets to her. And Shang Ji is here, so things outside can't bother her here.
But returning to leisure time is just something before the New Year.
After the New Year's Day, after the Lantern Festival.
The General's Mansion has received seven or eight posts from people who want to have dinner as guests.
Everything else is fine, except for two pictures that made Du Jingyi a little embarrassed and annoyed.
One piece, naturally, it came from the Prince’s East Palace.
The day is set for the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, less than a month from now.
Du Jingyi doesn’t quite know why he is eating this meal.
But the only thing he knew was that the people coming and going must be many relatives of the emperor, so Du Jingyi had to deal with it with all his strength.
Another post that bothered Du Jingyi came from the Wei family.
On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Wei Jialian had to hold a haircut ceremony, so he invited all the dignitaries in Suian City to watch the ceremony.
That appearance, that formation.
Just from the gold foil embedded in the sent posts, you can see how much they attach importance to it.
Shang Ji's hand that was pressed by her was numb, but he still didn't move because he was afraid of disturbing Du Jingyi's clear dream.
This winter afternoon nap is the most pleasant, so Shang Ji doesn't want to affect it.
With a crunch, the cherry came in from the outside.
There was still steaming anti-fetal medicine in their hands. This was a prescription prescribed by Dr. Wang himself, so naturally they would not be careless.
So, one bowl should be used at this time every day.
Du Jingyiren was not woken up, but was intoxicated by the smell of medicine.
She has always had a good nose.
Humbling, he looked at Shang Ji sleepily, and then asked.
“How long have you been sleeping?”
“half an hour later.”
“Then you’d better get up, otherwise you won’t be able to sleep well at night again.”
Hearing this, Shang Ji helped her sit up, took out the arm that was pressed by her, and shook it slightly.
A numbness ran from the tips of my fingers to my shoulders.
But he didn’t react at all, so Du Jingyi didn’t notice it either.
Cherry saw his young lady getting up, so she spoke in a low voice.
“Young madam, please take the medicine, it’s just been boiled.”
Du Jingyi is helpless. She doesn’t like taking medicine because it’s painful.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. This was specially prescribed by Dr. Wang. For the sake of the child, she could only hold her nose and drink it down.
Fortunately, I only have two or three days left to finish the medicine.
Wang Yizheng also said that there is no need to eat again after eating.
So, Du Jingyi didn't complain much and reached out to take it.
Take a deep breath and drink it in a gulp.
In the end, I had to endure the nausea until I had candied fruit in my mouth.
Upon seeing this, Shang Ji patted her back gently and asked thoughtfully.
"Are you ok?"
Du Jingyi pretended to pout and shook his head.
"No, this medicine is too bitter. After I drink it, there will be no taste in my mouth."
Seeing this, Shang Ji held her in his arms and said with a chuckle.
"Okay, next time Dr. Wang comes, I will ask and give you some prescriptions for herbal medicine. I see that you are not good at taking medicine, but you never hesitate to eat."
One sentence made Cherry laugh.
