Chapter 82 Exclusion

Now that everyone is here, the food can be served. Jingyi starts to stir-fry some hot vegetables.

Jing Yi showed off her cooking skills today and cooked many delicious dishes. Of course, the braised pork is indispensable, as well as braised carp, Sixi meatballs, white chopped chicken, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, mutton fried with green onion, etc.

Jingyi knew that Xiao Yilin loved sweets and made sweet and sour pork loin, steamed glutinous rice cakes, and shredded yam.

There are also cold shredded radish, cold spinach, boiled cabbage, etc.

Today is a holiday. Originally, Jingyi should accompany her mother to have dinner. But when a guest comes to the house, Jingyi must accompany the guest.

Xiao Yilin didn't want the mother and daughter to eat separately during the festival, so he said: "Jing Yan, Aunt Liu is the elder, we don't have to be too formal, let Aunt Liu eat with us. Otherwise, you and Aunt Liu can't eat together on this day.

The reunion dinner is not ours."

Lin Xiuhan also said: "Yes, Jingyan, it's a festival today and it's fun when everyone gets together. We are all juniors, it's nothing."

Under the persuasion of Xiao Yilin and Lin Xiuhan, Jingyi asked her mother to come to the front hall for dinner.

As for Gu Yu and the others, they had dinner with Song Yuancheng and the others. Jing Yi asked Song Yuancheng to entertain the others.

Xiao Yilin asked Han Qi to go and have fun with everyone without having to wait around. However, Han Qi could not leave his prince for a long time, so he quickly ate something and went to wait on his prince.

Xiao Yilin had the highest status in the front hall, and he should have taken the main seat, but Xiao Yilin insisted on letting Liu take the main seat.

Mrs. Liu was a little flattered to see Prince Jing paying such courtesy to her.

Jing Yike didn't care so much about status, so he let his mother take the main seat.

Because Xiao Yilin was still taking medicine and could not drink alcohol, Jingyi specially cooked him a fruit tea that would help him digest and stimulate his appetite.

Jingyi placed a teacup in front of Xiao Yilin, then picked up the round-bellied teapot filled with fruit tea and put some fruit tea into the teacup, "Brother Xiao, you can't drink. I specially made you a digestive and appetizing fruit tea. This is

There are dried hawthorns, dried plums and other dried fruits in it. After cooking, filter out the residue, and finally add honey. It tastes sour and sweet, very appetizing, you can try it."

Xiao Yilin was very happy looking at the red tea soup in the teacup in front of him. This was specially prepared for him by the little girl.

"Thank you Jing Yan, you are so thoughtful."

Everyone else, Jing Yi, poured wine. Anyway, the alcohol content was not high at this time, so he could still drink two glasses.

Xiao Yilin was the first to raise the tea cup, "Today is the festival, so I will give Aunt Liu a cup of tea instead of wine. I will trouble you and Jing Yan during this time."

When Mrs. Liu saw Prince Jing greeting her, she quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Yan is lucky enough to be able to cure Prince Jing's body, so he has learned medical skills in vain. Prince Jing does not need to care too much."

Then Lin Xiuhan also made a toast.

The meals are carefully prepared by Jingyi, and the taste is undeniable. There are some dishes that even Liu has tasted for the first time.

During this meal, Xiao Yilin and Lin Xiuhan experienced Jing Yi's cooking skills again.

After all, Mrs. Liu was someone who had seen the world, so she was not too frightened when facing Xiao Yilin and Lin Xiuhan. During the dinner, she also intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Lin Xiuhan's family background and personal situation.

Lin Xiuhan behaved very humbly and answered almost every question asked by Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu and Lin Xiuhan had met many times, and they were more familiar with each other, and they talked much more casually.

Xiao Yilin listened to the conversation between Mrs. Liu and Lin Xiuhan and noticed the way Mrs. Liu looked at Lin Xiuhan. He also thought about the identity and age of the little girl next to him. He always felt that Mrs. Liu looked at Lin Xiuhan like she was looking at her son-in-law.

This gradually made Xiao Yilin feel irritated. Could it be that he, a majestic prince, was not as good as Lin Xiuhan, who was the county magistrate?

He didn't know that it was his identity as a prince that made Mrs. Liu dare not think about it.

Mrs. Liu knew very well that her daughter's current status was definitely not qualified to be a prince's concubine. Mrs. Liu did not want her daughter to become a concubine.

What's more, she understands her daughter's pride and her daughter will not share a man with another woman.

This is something Jing Yi has emphasized to her mother many times. From now on, when she gets married, she will be a couple for the rest of her life, otherwise she would rather not marry.

In ancient times, there was no dignitary who did not have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Xiao Yilin was still a prince. So after knowing Xiao Yilin's identity, Mrs. Liu did not consider him as her son-in-law at all, and directly excluded him from the selection of son-in-law.

.

Mrs. Liu is very satisfied with Lin Xiuhan's current situation. He is handsome and handsome, he is indifferent to fame and wealth, he is humble and prudent, he is honest and fair as an official, and his character is also very good. The most important thing is that Lin Xiuhan has not married yet.

There is no concubine, and there are no women around. This is what makes Liu the most satisfied.

Jing Yi saw that her mother and Lin Xiuhan were having a lively chat, and she also asked many people about Lin Xiuhan's personal questions, which also made her feel something interesting.

Jing Yi gave her mother a piece of food and said, "Mom, I put a lot of effort into today's food. Please eat more."

Jing Yi didn't want her mother to ask any more questions. Then her mother would have to talk to Lin Xiuhan as a matchmaker?

Or be a matchmaker for your own daughter.

Lin Xiuhan was happy today. He drank some more wine and spoke more casually. He joked: "Aunt Liu asked me about my personal situation. Do you want to be a matchmaker for me? I am still single and have not married yet. I can make Aunt Liu

The woman you fancy must be a good girl."

Ms. Liu smiled and said, "If Aunt Liu meets a good girl, she will definitely recommend her to you. A young talent like you, who is handsome, handsome, has good character and talents, must find a woman of similar appearance to match her."

Xiao Yilin felt very depressed after listening to the conversation between the two, and she had to hold it back to keep her face from turning dark.

Han Qi, who was waiting on the side at this time, saw that Mrs. Chu was obviously more enthusiastic about Lin Xiuhan than her own prince. Does this mean that Mrs. Chu wanted Lin Xiuhan to be her son-in-law? What about her own prince?

Han Qi saw that his prince had a tendency to have a bad face. It seemed that Lin Xiuhan was likely to become his prince's competitor. He had to be careful. His prince finally fell in love with a woman, how could he let others snatch her away from him?

go?

Jing Yi didn't want her mother to talk to Lin Xiuhan any more, so she added more vegetables to her mother. Then she used serving chopsticks to pick up shredded yam for Xiao Yilin, "Brother Xiao, this is the yam I found in the back mountain. This yam is very delicious."

You should eat more to replenish your body. Brother Lin, you should also eat."

Mrs. Liu also saw that Xiao Yilin seemed a little unhappy and stopped talking. She also felt that she had said too much today. It was just a rare opportunity today, so she took the opportunity to inquire more about Lin Xiuhan's situation.

, but also for future plans.

Jing Yi said: "Mom, if you are tired, go and have a rest. I will accompany Brother Xiao and Brother Lin here."

Ms. Liu took advantage of the situation and left the table and returned to her room.

Small theater:

Han Qi: Your lord, I think Lin Xiuhan wants to take advantage of you.

Xiao Yilin: I see, I have to think about how to please my future mother-in-law.

Mrs. Liu: There's no point in trying to please me. You're not among the candidates for my son-in-law.
