Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 174 Hong Ge'er and Qiu Yun'er

Hibiscus Garden.

The family still had dinner in the garden, but the noodles they ate tonight were different from the previous ones. The noodles were colored.

In a special large white porcelain soup bowl, blanched mung bean sprouts are placed at the bottom, with yellow noodles on top. The yellow leaves are scooped from a basin brought in by red beans and a spoonful of pre-cooked butter soup base is placed in the bowl. Then, the steaming beef offal from another basin is scooped up with a spoon and a large spoonful is placed in each bowl. Then, a braised egg is scooped out from the butter soup base, one is placed in each bowl, and then sprinkled with chopped green onions.

"Okay, now we can start eating," Huang Ye announced. "We have pickled cabbage, pickled radish, and chili peppers here. You can add as much as you like according to your taste. Each of you has a bowl of soy milk on the side, which is best drunk with this beef noodles."

Huang Ye was very satisfied with this atmosphere, yes, it was this sense of ritual. It was a pity that there was no rice wine, otherwise it would have been more perfect.

Everyone followed Huang Ye's example and mixed the mung bean sprouts and noodles together. They put them in their mouths and immediately fell in love with the taste: the mellow spicy flavor, the crispness of the mung bean sprouts, the soft alkaline noodles, and especially the various beef offal on top, made it so addictive that the old man announced that he would no longer like to eat臊子面, and this beef noodle became his new favorite.

Looking at her family members who were eating contentedly, Huang Ye felt extremely happy. She swore in her heart that she must try her best to be good in the palace, not bring trouble to her family, and not let these people worry about her. As long as they lived well, she was willing to do anything asked of her.

As Huang Ye expected, the prince came back. To reward him, Huang Ye asked Hongdou to bring out a big bowl of braised beef offal for him. The prince was very satisfied with the meal and his resentment towards Hongdou who brought him the meat was alleviated a lot.

At this time, Huang Ye was reading the letter written to her by her second brother that the prince brought back. Her second brother was very sad. He regretted not bringing his sister with him when he came to the north, because then she would not have the opportunity to participate in the talent show. He said that he would try to come back before the New Year to spend the last New Year with her at home. The sadness revealed between the lines almost made Huang Ye cry.

Hong Ge'er came back in the afternoon of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. That day, Qiu Yun'er was accompanying Huang Ye, sitting by the fire and chatting about all sorts of things. Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and a gust of cold air mixed with a tall man rushed in.

"Sister..." Hong Ge'er burst into tears when he saw Huang Ye. From now on, his precious sister would become a member of the royal family and he wouldn't be able to see her all year round. How could he bear this?

"Cough cough..." Huang Ye pretended to cough twice. There are other people in this room. Second brother, please pay attention to your image.

"Brother, let me introduce you. This is my good friend Xiao Yun'er. Xiao Yun'er, this is my brother. He just came back from the north."

"Second brother." Qiu Yun'er called out tentatively, her little face flushed with embarrassment. She had been listening to Sister Ye talking about her second brother these days, and now that this man was really standing in front of her, why did she feel so shy?

"Xiao Yun'er...sister." Hong Ge'er didn't know how to address her. He was only paying attention to his sister and didn't notice that there was anyone else in the room.

Looking at Qiu Yun'er, whose face was blushing and who kept looking at his second brother, Huang Ye suddenly had an idea in his mind. His mother and grandmother were worried about his second brother's marriage every day. Isn't Qiu Yun'er the best candidate? Although there is a slight age difference, it is normal in this dynasty. Let's not talk about his second brother's stupid head. If little Yun'er is willing, this will be a great marriage.

Qiu Yun'er was shy for just a moment, then she relaxed. She was a straightforward person, and quickly became familiar with Hong Ge'er. When they started talking about the North, Hong Ge'er was very excited, and Qiu Yun'er was fascinated. The two of them talked and listened, and completely forgot about Huang Ye, the owner of the room.

Huang Ye saw that they were having a great time chatting, so he walked out and told Lu Dou to cook a few more dishes in the evening as there would be two more people for dinner.

Hearing that Hong'er had returned, the whole family came to Furong Garden. The court had stopped writing now and would resume duty after the New Year, so Huang's father and Xuan'er were at home. Together with the old lady and Chen, the whole family sat together and chatted lively. Qiu Yun'er also joined in the conversation. Huang Ye was a little puzzled. Why didn't anyone think of her as an outsider?

Huang Ye secretly approached her mother and whispered her plan to her mother. Chen's eyes lit up when she saw Qiu Yun'er chatting lively with her family. She felt that she was really stubborn. Such a good girl was right in front of her, but she was still worrying about something with her mother-in-law every day. If Ye'er hadn't reminded her, she didn't know when she would remember it.

Seeing Huang Ye secretly winking at her, the old lady suddenly understood, and the way she looked at Qiu Yun'er was different. According to Huang Ye, that was obviously the way she looked at her grandson's wife.

Chen asked Baozhu to bring her grandson over to let his second uncle see him. According to the rules, a child who has not yet finished the confinement period cannot be brought out. The Huang family did not have so many rules and had brought Yu Ge'er to Furong Garden several times.

Baozhu brought in Yuge'er, who was wrapped tightly, and handed him to Hongge'er. Hongge'er was so happy to see his eldest nephew that he couldn't stop smiling, and he happily teased his precious nephew. Qiu Yun'er also liked children, so he came over and joined him in teasing Yuge'er. Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone in the Huang family realized that this girl from the Qiu family was definitely a member of their Huang family.

Huang Ye invited Qiu Yun'er to stay at home for dinner. After the meal, she packed a full basket of braised food to take back. After she left, everyone in the Huang family looked at Hongger and laughed, which made Hongger confused.
