My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

The Queen Mother waved to Huaying with a kind face, and her mother who was sitting beside her turned around and looked at her with a smile.

Seeing this, Huaying stood up, smiled, and slowly walked towards the Queen Mother, stopping ten steps away from her. The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh when she saw Huaying's courtesy, and said softly, "Child, come closer."

Huaying then took a few steps forward and squatted in front of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother gently stroked Huaying's face and said distressedly: "You must have suffered a lot this time when you went to the suburbs to recuperate. I have a few good ginsengs here. When you go back, take one with you to nourish your body."

After hearing this, Huaying bowed very obediently and replied gratefully, "Thank you for your care, ancestor."

When she heard the word "old ancestor", the smile on the queen mother's face became even brighter. She looked at Mrs. Shen with satisfaction and said with a smile: "This child has been sick once, and his temperament is much calmer than before."

Madam Shen smiled respectfully and said to the Queen Mother, "Who said it wasn't true? On the way here today, Ning'er said that she should be more cautious in front of the old ancestor, fearing that the old ancestor would worry too much about her.

When she is not sick, you can control her temper. But this girl is also very hardworking. Although she is a little naughty at home and in front of the ancestors, she has the bearing and demeanor of the eldest daughter of our Shen family when she is out of the house, and she protects the face of our Shen family. Now that she is sick, she has become much more honest. "

The Queen Mother's kind eyes fell on Huaying again and taught her, "While you are recuperating at home, you must not slack off in your studies of poetry, books, etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Our ancestors hope that our Ning'er will be a sensible and independent person. When you are free, come to the palace to see this old woman like me."

Huaying looked up at the kind old man, tears falling down for no reason. She thought that it was probably because of the original owner's feelings for the ancestor, and said aggrievedly, "Ning'er knows that the ancestor loves Ning'er the most. Ning'er will remember the ancestor's words and learn from them well."

The old ancestor picked up the embroidered handkerchief and wiped her tears, saying, "Girls should not cry easily. If your makeup is ruined by crying, you will become a dirty little cat."

Huaying quickly held back her tears and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, your tears are pearls."

When these words were spoken, both the Queen Mother and my mother laughed.

At noon, the Queen Mother invited them to have lunch. It was not until 3 p.m. that their father came to the Cining Palace to ask for a meeting and chatted with the ancestor for a while before the family of three left.

The old ancestor watched Huaying's figure, as if he was missing someone through her.

On the way, her father also said that Huaying's temperament is not as arrogant as before, and she is a bit casual towards the servants. He also taught her to distinguish between superiors and subordinates and to pay attention to boundaries.

Huaying nodded in agreement. The carriage moved slowly along the way. Her father and mother chatted with Huaying about some matters in the mansion. Huaying listened carefully and expressed her views on those matters from time to time.

Speaking of the wonderful part, Huaying saw that her father looked at her with approval.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Shen Mansion. The eldest brother, the second brother and the maid waited at the gate for a long time. After their parents got off the carriage, Huaying slowly got down. Qinghe hurriedly served on the side.

At dinner time, the family talked about what they had seen and heard in the palace while eating. Only Huaying ate silently. The second brother who had been paying attention to Huaying asked, "Little sister, are you unhappy today?

Huaying raised her head and said, "You want me to tell the truth or official language."

The second brother asked with great interest, "What is the truth and what is the official language?"

Even the eldest brother turned to look at her. Huaying picked up a vegetable and put it in the bowl and said, "I told you not to say I have no manners."

The second brother was surprised and said, "You have said a lot of rude things in the past. Come on, don't keep me in suspense."

The mother looked at her three children with a smile.

Huaying swallowed a mouthful of rice and said, "Official language is not to talk while eating, brother, you forgot. The truth is that I am very hungry. When I had lunch at the Cining Palace, I followed the old rules and didn't eat enough."

When the family heard what she said, they all laughed, and Huaying also laughed embarrassedly.

After dinner and washing up, Huaying sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

"Miss, please put the ginseng given by the Queen Mother into the warehouse first." Qingqing's question interrupted Huaying's thoughts.

Huaying came back to her senses and said, "Send it to mother's courtyard."

"Yes." The maid took the gift box and left the room.

Huaying continued to lie by the window, thinking about what she should do next.

On the third floor of Zuijiangyue in Taohua Town, Uncle Zhang knocked on Fu Shiyan's door with a newly developed dish, "Come in." A cold male voice came from inside the room. Ever since the girl Huaying disappeared, the young master was no longer as approachable as before, and returned to his previous cold and aloof personality in the mansion.

Uncle Zhang opened the door, brought the food from the plate to Fu Shiyan, and said, "Young Master, please try this new dish. This is a dish of chopped pepper fish head made according to the recipe, with new peppers picked from the backyard of Taohua Village today."

Fu Shiyan took the chopsticks handed to him by Zhang Bo, picked up a piece and tasted it. The fragrant sauce wrapped around the tender fish meat, and it tasted fresh, fragrant and spicy.

Fu Shiyan nodded to Uncle Zhang and said, "It tastes good. Let's put this dish on the menu. The fish must be fresh every day. Uncle Zhang, please pay attention to see if we can raise this kind of fish ourselves."

Zhang Bo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away."

"Uncle Zhang." Fu Shiyan called out to Uncle Zhang who was about to close the door.

"Tell Dongxue to let Aunt Zhang plant an acre of peppers. Go to the countryside and ask how much is the appropriate wage."

Zhang Bo agreed, closed the door and left.

Fu Shiyan looked at the new dishes on the plate. How did Huaying know about these menus? She should have received the letter in a few days.
