Chapter 78
"Mom, have breakfast. I made some lei tea today. I thought I had too greasy last night. I changed to a clean mouth and prepared a clean porridge, side dishes, and burritos."
The New Year’s Eve dinner last night was too greasy. When he got up early, Yang specially prepared the old lady liked Leicha. In the early years, the old lady followed the old marquis to guard the border. After tasting Leicha, she liked it very much. She still often cooked it at home as refreshments for early morning and afternoon.
Lecha is a kind of tea drink that is made of sesame and peanuts after being broken and watered.
This kind of tea is often eaten in many places such as Shanwei, Huilai, Wuhua, etc. in Guangdong Province, as well as in Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan and other places such as Hunan.
Lecha tastes like soy milk, it tastes cool and delicious, with a sweet and mellow taste, and can be drunk all year round.
It is mainly made of raw rice, ginger and raw tea, so it is also called "Sansheng Tang".
Originated in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is a kind of health-preserving tea drink with the characteristics of the Han people.
There is also legend that Leicha originated from the "medicine drink" that people in the Central Plains used to beat green herbs and take them.
The production methods of lei tea vary from place to place, especially the choice of ingredients varies greatly.
Generally, it is delicious when you get up early and you can drink it as soy milk with other staple foods. It is also excellent to use it with some small pastries for afternoon tea.
"It's hard for you to think carefully. I like to eat this bite. I ate it when I went to Fujian with your father. I won't forget it after I beat you."
The old lady smiled satisfied when she saw it, her eyes full of reminiscence.
"I also fell in love with Zhengtian to the capital. Everyone makes this Lecha differently. I put some bay leaves and Chinese medicine in to warm the stomach and prevent wind."
Yang smiled and nodded.
“I want to eat too.”
Shuhui sat at the small table and sat obediently and waited.
The agarwood was served one by one for everyone, and all kinds of breakfast were served. The choices were all my favorites. It would be great to pair them with a few refreshing foods and side dishes.
Zi Lan observed silently and found that agarwood was indeed very clever and could get started soon. She also went into the house early to serve her, giving her more opportunities than others.
If you can be seen by your master every day, once you form a habit, you will naturally not be stingy with promoting her. This is a smart person.
The old marquis came with the man and the brothers followed behind. They had already gotten up early to finish their morning class.
"Yo! I'll have leicha today. It's really good. I'll give me a bowl."
The old marquis spoke with a smile when he saw it.
"Where are you going after breakfast?"
"I want to go play. There is a market to play lions today, and there are lanterns at night."
Shuhui spoke immediately, her bright eyes flashing with expectation.
"Oh, that's good, you guys go and have fun."
"Grandpa, are you going?"
Zilan asked.
"I can't go, I have to host guests at home. There are many elderly and young people in the clan who are coming to greet us."
The old marquis chuckled.
During festivals, we are bound to visit relatives. On the second day of tomorrow, Yang will go to the Song family.
Originally, I went back to my parents' home in the second year of the lunar month, but because Yang lived at home, the uncle of the Song family said that they would stay in the Marquis' mansion to accompany the elderly. They had been out for almost ten years. This year is the first year I came back and I will be filial to the elderly.
The second day of the lunar month is the day when women return to their parents' home, but the Song family worships ancestors, which means worshiping ancestors during the New Year. Women cannot be present, and men worship, so Song Zhengtian wants to go back.
The uncle of the Song family asked them to come back from the second grade of junior high school, and there was a banquet after worshiping the ancestors, so they could bring their children to play.
Song Zhengtian's uncle is very open-minded and thoughtful for his nephew. If he spends the New Year at his own home, he will inevitably feel in love. When he thinks of his parents, it is better to spend the New Year at his wife's house. He is also grateful to the Marquis's mansion for taking care of his son-in-law over the years.
Secondly, the old marquis is older than him, so it is worthy of being courteous. Moreover, Song Zhengtian was able to work in the Ministry of Revenue this time, thanks to the old marquis who helped him out there. There is no need to worry about the small matter of whom you have the New Year’s Eve dinner at.
Yang didn't go to play, so he stayed at home to visit his relatives, while the children were thinking about going out, so he asked Song Zhengtian and Yang Lin to play together for a while and came back to catch the lunch banquet.
The children set off happily, and Zhao Xuan'er watched them leave enviously, but no one said anything to take her. She didn't speak herself.
Before Yang Yu got on the carriage, he saw Zhao Xuan'er standing pitifully by the door and looking at them with a very lonely and envious look.
After holding on, he couldn't speak and got into the car, and then asked his second uncle and Song Zhengtian.
"Second uncle, uncle, why don't you bring Xuan'er?"
Yang Lin patted his back, "Don't be stupid, you can see through this kind of trick at a glance. Why don't she speak by herself if she wants to play? She asks for an elder, can she ignore her? She looks at her with a gaze but doesn't say a word. What's the reason?
I had discovered before that this child was not following the right path. Do you just say anything? I’m embarrassed to tell my elders, and you can also tell my sisters generously that it’s impossible. If it’s really not possible, ask the mother and maid who are serving him.
Without saying a word, he looked at Lan'er eagerly, waiting for someone to take the initiative to take care of her.
You need to know how many unsatisfactory life is. The older you get, the more you need to learn to be arrogant, have a relationship, and learn to speak. Could it be that when I go to court, I look at the emperor eagerly, waiting for the emperor to give me benefits?
When I got home, I looked at your grandfather and asked him to give me some food. I didn’t try to learn to do things and speak, and I didn’t accept it after others taught me, and I didn’t say anything. This made people communicate with you.
You are older, and you will encounter more and more such things in the future. Especially women like to play this game the most, they are all seeds that cannot be used on the table. They should kick them out as soon as possible."
Yang Lin carefully taught a few boys that they could see the older ones when they were small. When they were younger, they could tolerate but not tolerate infinitely. They gave you the opportunity to learn and you could not always pretend to be stupid.
Yang Yu thought about it and seemed to understand something, "Uncle Xie Er, I understand."
"Well, it will not be surprising if you see it too much in the future."
Song Zhengtian smiled. Their Song family had to study for three years before the last imperial examination. They traveled around the country in order to increase their knowledge, broaden their horizons, enrich their experience, and understand the sufferings of the world.
"In a few years, you will also go out to study separately. This will have many benefits for you. Your father and I have been traveling seriously for three years before returning. Your father is also a capital city where he has been guarding the border for ten years before returning.
I tell you this to tell you that you have to fight for whatever you want, and that men should do this as well as girls. It is despised to be cowardly and timid and timid.
Look at Lan'er, if you get the praise and want the reward, you will also say it generously. It doesn't care about the high and low things, but it depends on your courage to express your efforts to strive for what you want. Be generous and open-minded."
This is the reason why Yang Lin looked down on Zhao Xuan'er. The Yang family is a military general. He has always loved the courageous, strong, refreshing and generous manner. He hates petty and cowardly, and looks like he lowers his head and shrinks his neck. It makes people disgusted at a glance.
