Chapter 526 Priceless Dowry
"San'er, take down the screen!"
After they were all far away, Mu Qingqing gave instructions to Zuo San who was waiting behind.
"Aunt, Qingqing, Big Brother left two pieces of salt and pepper snake for you two, and a bowl of medicinal food for each of you. Don't worry, Big Brother has been protecting you with his inner strength, and the soup is still warm!"
Nangong Qi swiftly brought the food left for Mu Qingqing and Qin Yao to the next table, picked up a spoon, stirred it twice, and handed it to Qin Yao.
Ye Nanli and Prime Minister Mu also stood up and came to Mu Qingqing's table. Ye Tianran followed them awkwardly to Mu Qingqing's table and found a remote seat to sit down.
Qin Yao hadn't actually moved her chopsticks much just now, and she was a little hungry at the moment.
The medicinal food in my hand continues to exude an attractive and mellow aroma, while the aftertaste is a clear floral scent that makes people salivate.
Qin Yao couldn't help but scoop spoonful after spoonful of the medicinal food into her mouth.
She knew that Qingqing’s cooking was delicious, but she didn’t expect that Qingqing’s medicinal food was also so delicious. It was unexpected that it was so delicious.
Seeing that Qin Yao liked the python's medicinal food very much, Mu Qingqing pushed the bowl of medicinal food in front of her to Qin Yao.
"Mother, if you like, the chef in the mansion can cook you a bowl every now and then. It's very nutritious and will be of great benefit to the little brother or sister in your belly."
You know, this is a giant python that is rarely seen in a century.
I don’t know how many precious supplements Xia Zhi has fed him over the years, and the quality of his flesh has undergone a drastic change.
Although it is not as exaggerated as described in novels that snake meat has magical spiritual energy, its nutritional value is higher than that of hundred-year-old ginseng and hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
"Qingqing, from what you said, it seems that Big Brother's internal energy has increased a little bit! Is it because he ate the python?"
Nangong Qi opened his right palm, grasped the teacup in his hand and squeezed it gently, and the teacup shattered due to the force.
Ye Nanli circulated the inner strength method on his body and understood it deeply, "Qingqing, what big brother said is right! I feel the same way."
Qin Yao heard this, and her hand holding the spoon slipped. She frowned and asked, "Qingqing, don't tell me that such a delicious medicinal meal is made from a python?"
This is too scary!
Qin Yao couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body when she thought of snakes, these slippery, ugly, cold-blooded molluscs.
Mu Qingqing glanced at Nangong Qi in annoyance and said soothingly, "Mother, this giant python is rare to see in a century! If it weren't for the young master of Medicine King Valley offering it to us, we wouldn't be able to eat this miraculous medicinal food!"
"But, but the snake..."
Qin Yao looked at the white snake meat in the medicinal bowl with fear and was a little hesitant.
"Mother, just think of it as drinking Tianshan Snow Lotus or eating swan meat."
Ali Jiujiu crawled to Qin Yao's side with his chubby little body, took the medicinal bowl from her hand, scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, and carefully put it into Qin Yao's mouth.
Facing the expectant eyes of Ali Jiujiu and Mu Qingqing, Qin Yao cooperated and drank the medicinal food.
You know what, as long as you don’t think about the fact that it’s made from snake meat, it tastes really good.
Ye Tianran stood up and walked in front of Mu Qingqing, leaning over and saying, "Master, I will go back first and tell Brother Lu as soon as possible to be ready to leave at any time."
Mu Qingqing nodded and took out a large box of python meat segments frozen in ice.
"Tianran, take this to the emperor and have him eat it as soon as possible. I've put the recipe and ingredients in the box, just give it directly to the imperial chef."
Prime Minister Mu took Ye Nanli and the others to the flower hall to drink tea. "Qingqing, you seem to be very angry today? Who has offended you?"
At this time, Nangong Qi squeezed in between Prime Minister Mu and Mu Qingqing, "Uncle-in-law, you don't know how weird Madam Fang and her little daughter are! Madam Fang actually wants you to go to the emperor and grant her little daughter a marriage, and the target is a prince in the palace."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Mu stopped in his tracks, frowned, and murmured, "No wonder the Third Prince looked so frightened just now. Could it be that he was harassed by the mother and daughter?"
"Uncle-in-law, you really guessed it right!"
Nangong Qi sat down next to Prime Minister Mu, took the milk tea from Ali Jiujiu and handed it directly to Prime Minister Mu.
"My dear uncle, you don't know how shameless that thirteen-year-old girl is! When she saw the Third Prince, she stared at him and refused to let go. Also, she was so arrogant in the hall just now! She scolded Madam Fang, Miss Fang and Fang Shiyu at every turn, as if she was a queen."
Mu Qingqing sat down on a seat nearby and echoed, "Dad, I'm also very curious about this! How can a daughter scold her mother? And she acted as if it was natural. It seems like my aunt is used to it."
"Qingqing, aren't you curious? The way she treats Fang Jinyan and Fang Shiyu is just like the way a master treats his servants."
Nangong Qi thought of Fang Jinyu scolding Fang Shiyu with her nose in the air and an arrogant look.
Mu Qingqing tapped the table regularly with her index finger, frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "If it's a child who is favored by the only one, then this is possible. But I can't see any signs that my aunt dotes on her. On the contrary, she seems to be afraid of her. She always obeys her, as if she has some leverage over her and she has to listen to her."
Qin Yao held her belly with one hand and slowly sat down next to Prime Minister Mu. "Qingqing, when mother saw your aunt this time, she felt that her personality was completely different from before. She has completely lost herself."
You know, before Qin Huan got married, she was also a well-known talented woman in the capital.
There were countless young men pursuing her back then, but she was independent-minded and she arrogantly rejected them all.
Who would have thought that when I saw him today, the sharp edges and corners had long been smoothed out, and he looked dead and lifeless.
"Mother, I heard from my grandmother that when my aunt married City Lord Fang, it was City Lord Fang who took the initiative to come to the door and propose the marriage. At that time, my grandparents refused to agree, and it was my aunt who threatened to die that forced the two old people to agree."
Mu Qingqing recalled that when she was chatting with Old Madam Qin at the Qin Mansion before, Old Madam Qin sighed from time to time and said that giving birth to Qin Huan was the same as not having given birth at all.
After being married for so many years, she never came back to visit her parents, except for the two letters she wrote to the family to assure them of her safety after she gave birth.
Two----letters?
Mu Qingqing seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes flashed. If this was true, then everything made sense.
Qin Yao thought back to the past and sighed, "When your aunt got married, the ten-mile dowry was not just talk, it was a real wedding procession that was ten miles long."
When it came to dowry, Mr. Qin did not favor one over the other and truly treated everyone equally.
The dowries of the two sisters when they got married had almost the same value in total, and it was no exaggeration to say that they were priceless.
