If Lin Shu knew that she was just like a pug in Lian Lian Yao's heart, she might really get angry.
Liao Yao felt that this idea of his was quite good, and he immediately stepped forward. With a smile, he asked, "What did aunty and cousin say to each other?" So happy? "
Madam Lian said everything she had just said, laughing while frowning.
However, Yao Yao looked towards Lin Shu and said smilingly: "The crabs in the capital are at most average, they are mostly raised in the river, the taste is not as good as the crabs in the Suzhou region. I still remember that the crabs we eat at home are all bigger than our two hands, and their taste is very fresh … If cousin wants to eat it, I'll send someone over to deliver some. "
Lin Shu immediately waved her hands, "I've only heard that Tang Tai Zong gave Litchi to Noble Consort Bo Yang for a smile, but I haven't heard of anyone giving a crab to him. The number of crabs that can be transported from the Suzhou area is probably many times more than living.
Yao Yao shot a glance at her before curling his lips, "I really don't know how to enjoy myself!"
My mother was being watched by so many people. Normally, even if she used a bowl of blood coloured porridge, there would still be some people talking about it. If she really brought back crabs from the Suzhou region, who knows what it would be like …" What's more, we have a crab, so we can't just hide in the yard and eat it, can't we? I have always been on good terms with Third Sister, and Third Sister is a greedy person. I'm afraid three baskets are more than enough. If that's the case, I'm afraid a ship of crab would have to be shipped from the Suzhou region. How much silver would that cost?
She was not a person who cared about silver. She was not someone who would use the silver from Lian Family to please her people at Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, even if she were to take this silver away to the charity of the poor, she would still get a word of thanks from others. However, if she were to give this silver to people at Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, not only would they not thank her, they would even despise this silver.
Even the usually generous Madam Lian could not help but say: "Our Sister Shu has grown up. But I feel that Sister Shu is right, we can only earn a little bit of Lian Family silver, it is not something that falls from the sky, why are we wasting it? "
No matter how she looked at it, she liked it. "I know your mouth is just like your father's, and it's probably not easy to eat crab meat in the capital city. When the time comes, I'll order the kitchen to make a few spicy crabs, and they'll taste exactly the same as Su Zhou."
Yao Yao said with a smile, "Aunty, there's no need for that. I was just thinking that my cousin had never eaten a crab in Suzhou before, which was why I mentioned it. But who knew that my cousin would not appreciate my kindness!"
Lin Shu only rolled her eyes at him, she was too lazy to bother with him.
Originally, she felt that even having Yao was not easy to get along with. After being together for a few months, she felt that even having Yao was not that bad, that she had never said anything shameful when she first entered the palace. Every time she came back from White Horse Institute, she would deliver some small stuff to her.
The first time she brought back two boxes of makeup pavilion rouge, Lin Shu only said that she was young and didn't need these, and after that she became the old name of the candied flakes, Celestial Fragrance Pavilion's soy sauce, and other such things. Even Lin Shu couldn't help but sigh, thinking that even Yao must have been reincarnated as a hungry ghost in his previous life, otherwise, how could he know all the delicious things in the capital in the short span of a few months?
Fortunately, even Yao Yao was a good person and knew how to pass things to Lin Shu. The other girls also had a portion of what they gave to him.
After all, Lin Hui was a greedy little devil.
The fifth house's crab feast was held on the second day. Madam Lian was rich and overbearing, on the second day she bought a basket of crabs, which were waiting for him on the top of the crabs. Although these crabs could not compare to the crabs of Suzhou, they were all extremely big and fat.
That day, Lin Shu also invited Lin Hui over. Originally, Madam Lian was with him, but Madam Lian only said that the few children were playing together, she did not go over, she only told Peony to set up a stove in the pavilion by the lake and sent over salted wild boar meat and goat meat over for them to roast.
This was the first time Lin Shu and Lin Shu were roasting meat outside, and they wished that they could go to the pavilion early in the morning to busy themselves. Last night, you sent Chun Dou to say that there would be a feast tonight. I was so excited that I didn't get a good night's sleep, finally falling asleep, and dreamt of a basket of crabs crawling towards me. My heart was pounding, but then I thought, 'It's just crabs, what's so scary about that?' He hurriedly ordered Xiangzi to capture the crab and send it to the kitchen to be steamed. "
Saying that, she let out a long sigh, and said, "It's a pity that in my dream, Aroma had just caught the crab and was preparing to send it to the kitchen, but who knew that she would wake up just like that? I was so angry that I only ate two Sweet Heart Steamed Bun for breakfast … I was hungry for a long time, why hasn't Brother Yao come yet? "
Just as she finished her sentence, a mocking laughter came from not too far away, "Aren't they already here?"
Who else could it be if they didn't even have Yao? He smiled at Lin Shu for a moment, before his gaze landed on Lin Hui, "Cousin Hui, your dream is truly very strange!"
Lin Hui's face instantly flushed red.
Lin Shu laughed and saved her, "Brother Yao, can you stop teasing third sister? Third sister has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, you're finally here, let's quickly eat! "
The moment she finished speaking, Actinin Qin immediately brought out the crabs that she had prepared a long time ago, each and every one of them baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, looking exceptionally alluring.
Lian Yao peeled a crab, dipped it in sauce and placed it in Lin Shu's bowl. After that, he placed a crab in Lin Hui's bowl, looking quite like a big brother.
Lin Shu actually looked at Lin Hui, and said in a low voice: "I already have a brother."
She had always envied that Lin Hui had a brother. Before she was reborn, Lin Hui would often show off in front of her because of this.
Lin Hui also laughed along. A crab was gentle and refined while eating, it did not look like it was wolfing down its food.
Then, she asked: "Brother Yao, is the White Horse Institute fun to play with?"
One of Yao Yao's sleeves rolled up as he ate a crab, saying indifferently, "White Horse Institute is a place to read. How can it be fun? It wasn't easy to get some free time and go out for fun with those students. Before they had even spoken three sentences, another person suggested using poetry to meet friends, and the loser invited the big guy for a drink. He didn't even enjoy going out to play! "
Lin Shu buried her head and bitterly ate the crab, finally getting some free time: "Brother Yao has always had a lot of silver, I'm afraid the smell of alcohol is the most important to pay for it?"
"Of course, I'm not the one who pays the most!" However, after thinking about how much he had to pay for it himself, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "On the other hand, Duke Chengan of the Duke Chengan Palace is really powerful. Even after I went to the White Horse Institute for a few months, he didn't even pay for a single drink. When he first heard that I was Fifth Madam's nephew, he even took care of me a lot.
Shao Shengping is someone I can befriend?
Lin Shu, who was eating the venison, choked and couldn't help but cough, "Cough … Is the relationship between the Brother Yao and the County Prince Palace better? "
"Not bad at all!" Someone from the Duke Chengan Palace invited me to the Duke Chengan Palace tomorrow. He said that his father is somewhat familiar with this year's examiners and that the examiners from tomorrow's banquet will come over and let him find out about my talents. If he can get praise from the examiners, then I would have a good chance of winning against this year's examinees.
Lin Shu frowned, "Is this considered cheating?"
She always felt that Shao Shengping's heart wasn't right, and even she felt that her cousin didn't seem to be a good person anymore.
However, even Yao Yao's face hardened, "Sister Shu, you can't say such things. I don't plan on taking this shortcut …" What's more, even the examiner didn't know what the questions were, so how could he possibly reveal his intentions? "Even though I come from a merchant's family, I am still a bit arrogant."
Even Lin Hui could not help but follow: "Sister Shu, don't tell me that you still do not know what kind of person Brother Yao is? It's one thing for others to say such words, but why are you doing this as well? "
Lin Shu could only secretly mutter to himself when their relationship had gotten so close, but on the surface, she was still busy making amends to Yao.
When she mentioned Shao Shengping, she felt that the meal was somewhat boring to eat.
There were even a few times when she wanted to open her mouth and tell Yao that Shao Shengping was not a good person, to let him stay away from her. But when the words were about to reach her mouth, she did not know how to open her mouth.
However, Lin Hui was enjoying her meal very much. She even felt that she was not done eating yet, and on the way back, she was muttering to Xiang Zi about when she could also set up such a banquet.
When she returned to the courtyard, First Madam was sitting on the seat of honor waiting for her, but her expression had turned ugly, "There's still Cousin Lian Family eating with you guys today?"
Just as Lin Hui nodded her head, the First Madam grabbed her and said softly: "Truly foolish. If this morning, I knew that there were other men around, I wouldn't have asked you to go over. You are also a fool, seeing that even Yao Yao is there, you should have found an excuse to come back!"
"Is the Brother Yao not an outsider?" Lin Hui muttered. To be honest, when she knew that Yao would go as well, not only did she not feel that it was inconvenient, she was more or less excited. This Brother Yao... Unlike the men who had gathered around her.
