Chapter 109 Sweet and Sour Live Fish
In Rongzhen Hall, General Ye and others are waiting for Xueying.
Xue Yingfei came in, put the dishes in front of her parents, and said with a smile: "Welcome father home, my daughter specially made a dish to honor my father."
General Ye looked at the fish and smiled. He was about to try his daughter's handicraft, so here it was.He smiled: "Xue'er has worked hard, sit down and eat together."
Ye Xueying smiled and sat down.Ye Wenying looked at the fish greedily.These days, he eats Xueying's dishes the most. Whenever he is at home, he will go to his sister's for a meal.Mrs. Li still has to put on airs, waiting for her daughter to arrive.
Ye Wenying knew that her sister's shot must be delicious.
General Ye stretched out his chopsticks to hold the fish, and suddenly saw the fish's mouth opening and closing, he thought he was dazzled.Stop chopsticks and look again, the fish's mouth is indeed moving, and the fish's eyes are turning.
"Xue'er, your fish isn't cooked yet, is it?" Mrs. Li said with a smile.
"This is a sweet and sour live fish. The head of the fish is alive. You can eat the body of the fish." Ye Xueying explained.
It was a snowy day and the Luohe River was frozen. It was not easy to catch a live yellow arowana.
General Ye tried to take a bite of the meat from the fish maw, and it was indeed cooked and delicious.
He wondered: "Strange! The fish is cooked, why is the fish still alive?"
Ye Xueying smiled and briefly explained how to make the dish.
Mrs. Li took a large piece of fish and said, "As long as you have a lot of thoughts, don't you eat the dead and alive?"
Ye Xueying smiled but did not answer.Ye Wenying blurted out: "Mother, eat the cooked fish pieces over here, let me have a bite of this live fish."
Mrs. Li glared at him and said, "This is for your sister to honor your father, go away!"
Ye Wenying lowered her head in frustration and ate other dishes.
Ye Wuying wondered: "In this weather, where can I find a live yellow dragon fish?"
Ye Xueying smiled and said, "I went to Luohe to catch it."
"Isn't the Luohe River frozen?" Wenying said.
"Knock the ice out! Stupid third brother!" Ye Xueying said.
"I'll send someone to catch one tomorrow, and my sister will get me a live sweet and sour fish." Ye Wenying looked at the fish eagerly and said.
"Okay!" Ye Xueying responded casually.
She didn't say clearly, how could it be so easy to catch.Yellow Arowana is rare and difficult to catch, and it becomes even more difficult to catch when the entire river is frozen.She relied on her spiritual sense to detect the yellow dragon fish in the river, and her flying sword that could easily pierce the one meter thick ice, so she could catch it.
If Ye Wenying wants to catch Huanglongyu, it really depends on luck.If you're lucky, you might be able to catch one at a time. If you're unlucky, you won't be able to catch one until the Luo River thaws next year.
Of course, General Ye knew that it was not easy to get a live yellow arowana in this weather. His daughter caught and cooked it in person and brought it to him. He felt that it was really delicious as he had never tasted before.General Ye was eating the fish happily, and he was almost drunk after just one glass of wine.
"Where's the eldest brother?" Ye Xueying asked without seeing Quan Ying.
Mrs. Li said a little amusedly: "He encouraged you to do that, and you were arrested by your grandfather as a servant, and you are eating big pot meals with those soldiers."
General Ye also said: "Yes! He wants to do it on his own and encourage his sister to go. What do you mean?"
Ye Xueying pursed her lips in amusement.
Wenying and Wuying both laughed unkindly.
Wenying thought about one day going to see her eldest brother eating from a big pot and making fun of him.
Wu Ying secretly admired and was a little jealous.He knew that although his parents complained openly, they were really grateful to Quan Ying for doing such a big thing.Through some advice from his sister, Quan Ying was able to drive his second uncle out of the Hou Mansion and establish himself as the heir apparent. For his family, Quan Ying had made an incomparable contribution.
Through this move, the eldest brother established an unshakable position in the hearts of his parents.Although my sister has also made great contributions, she is a girl after all, and girls always have to get married.The most her parents can do is give her a bigger dowry and help her choose a good family, which is fine.But the eldest brother is different. From now on, when the eldest brother speaks at home, his parents must listen to him carefully.
The second uncle has fallen, and it's my turn to fight with my elder brother.But the elder brother has made such a great contribution, what can I use to compete with the elder brother?
Thinking of this, Wuying drank the festive wine, feeling very unhappy.
Ye Xueying picked up the cup and toasted her father's wine: "Father! I toast you with this cup. Congratulations on our family reunion and never being separated again."
"Okay! Xue'er spoke well!" General Ye toasted happily.
Seeing this, Wenying and Wuying also came to toast their father's wine.Their family had a happy and lively life.
Uncle Ye's house was a little gloomy.Second Uncle Ye made a plan to go to Syracuse, and Master Hou sent a message that he had to go to Syracuse before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.Although it is Chinese New Year, the whole family has no taste for food, let alone celebrating the New Year.
All the servants in the courtyard held their breaths, not daring to show a smile.The young concubine and concubine were as frightened as quails, hiding in their own yard and not daring to come out.I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention, I will become Shanying and Yunying's punching bag.
Speaking of this, Xiaying was the most depressed.Recently Yunying has been following her, catching her and scolding her every day.No matter what she does, she will be scolded for doing right or wrong.
When Second Uncle Ye's family was prosperous, Xiaying didn't get much benefit. Once she fell down, the concubines were the first to be bullied.Xiaying herself suffered a lot of anger in the Hou Mansion, and she had to be responsible for letting Yunying vent her anger when she returned home, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
She didn't dare to hide yet. She could hide for a while, but she couldn't hide for the rest of her life.After hiding for a while, if Yunying catches her later, I'm not sure how to deal with her!
26 worships the literary saint, 27 worships the martial saint, and 28 drinks wax porridge to worship the ancestors.
Under the leadership of Ye Laohou, hundreds of people from the family, all neatly dressed, solemnly came to the ancestral hall.Three animals were served, melon and fruit snacks were placed, and high-scented candles were lit.
Ye Lao Hou Ye read a long prayer, praising the merits of the ancestors, ordering the descendants to remember, and then a long admonition, asking the descendants to practice martial arts, study hard, get fame, be loyal to the king and patriotism, be filial to parents, brothers Friendship, do your best to make the Ye family grow stronger and so on.
Ye Xueying knelt down and almost fell asleep.According to Wenying, the prayers that Lord Hou reads are exactly the same every year, word for word.
After reading the prayer, Ye Laohou led all the clansmen to kowtow.
Ye Xueying was dizzy as she followed Mrs. Li.Kneeling and kowtowing these days, if it wasn't for her high physical attributes, she would really be unbearable.
She felt that the most powerful magical skill of the ancients must be the magical skill of kowtow.You have to kowtow in the morning and in the evening. You have to kowtow when you see your elders, you have to kowtow when you see officials, you have to kowtow when you see gods, and you have to kowtow when you see the tablets of ancestors.
There are hundreds of tablets in the Ye family, and she was dizzy from knocking them all.
Seeing her daughter's listless look, Mrs. Li supported her shoulder with distress, letting her rest on her own.Wenying stood in front knowingly, blocking the sight of others.
In previous years, after worshiping her ancestors, Ye Xueying would become seriously ill.
This year, Ye Xueying's health is actually fine, but she is not in good spirits and is really not used to kowtow.
After leading the clansmen to offer sacrifices to their ancestors, Master Hou stood on the high platform and officially announced in a loud voice: "Today, while everyone is here, I officially announce that my eldest son Tianhua will be the son of Marquis Wu'an. I have submitted a memorial to the emperor on this matter." Please seal it. The imperial decree will arrive in a few days. From now on, I will hand over the affairs of the clan to Tianhua. I hope that the people of the clan will support him as much as they support me! Tianhua is lenient and benevolent, and I believe he will do his best for the clan .”
Marquis Wu'an handed over the clan chief's affairs to his eldest son first. The Ye family members had known that such a day would come, so they all listened respectfully.
