The three families who received vermicelli and letters had different reactions.
First, there was Tang Yanshu, the calligrapher. After reading his grandson's letter, Shangshu Tang agreed that he should continue to complete the plan in Pingjiang County, but his wife and daughter-in-law disagreed. His grandson was already 21 years old, and the girls his family had found for him always wrote to him saying that they were not suitable and that they did not like them, and asked him to come back first before making a decision.
Now, seeing that her grandson’s three-year term in Pingjiang County was about to expire, his wife asked him to find a way to bring him back.
She doesn't care about any merits or not, and the family doesn't need him to earn such merits. She just wants her grandson to find a granddaughter-in-law as soon as possible.
Seeing that other families with children of Tang Yanshu's age have children running around, but there is no trace of Tang Yanshu, wouldn't the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be anxious?
"I don't care. You must get him back. Once he comes back, I will arrange a banquet and invite young ladies of appropriate age from all families to attend. Then everything will be settled, and I will be able to hold my great-grandson in my arms soon."
"It's not that I said he could come back just by letting him. How could I let him come back directly? He needs the approval from the Ministry of Personnel." said Minister Tang.
Madam Tang glanced at him and said, "Don't tell me these nonsense. How could I not know this? Whether he can come back depends on whether you are willing to let him come back. If he can't be transferred back, then you can only stay in the study and not return to the main courtyard."
After saying this, Old Lady Tang left.
Tang Shangshu chased after him and said, "Noodles and rice noodles. Don't you want to eat them? They are all ready. Eat some before you go back. Shu'er said in the letter that these are new foods made by Ming'er and have not been sold yet. He fought with Ming'er for a long time to get this."
When Mrs. Tang heard that it was a new food, she paused, turned around and walked back, sat down and said, "Then try it. If it's not as you said, hehe."
Minister Tang: "Brother Fashu has sent it back together, how can it not be delicious? If it is not delicious, it is because our chef did not cook well."
Zheng family
Old Madam Zheng was sitting in the main seat, and her daughter-in-law next to her was reading a letter from home written by Zheng Huaming.
"How is it? How is it? What did the letter say? Did Mingge say how his grandfather is doing?"
"He said, he said, he said that dad's illness is cured. It was quite urgent at that time, but he got better after taking the medicine. He was almost well when he wrote back. Now a few days have passed, he should have fully recovered." Madam Zheng Su (Zheng Huaming's mother) said to her mother-in-law after reading the letter.
"It's good that you recover, it's good that you recover. It's painful to be sick at your age." Mrs. Zheng said with relief.
"Ming Ge'er also brought back some new food called vermicelli, along with the recipe. We'll eat it together when his father comes back."
"Brother Ming and the others have new food again? It seems like they haven't had fresh food for a long time. This time we have to wait really long." Old Madam Zheng said.
As Su was speaking, he saw another letter underneath the letter. The envelope was addressed to "Father", so it was for his father, so he put it in his arms.
"Who said it wasn't? But we may not be able to eat this vermicelli today. They said it needs to be soaked first before it can be made. Ask the nanny to come in and take it so that the kitchen staff can study how to make it." Su said.
"Why go to so much trouble? Just cook it in the kitchen. Ask Nanny Su to come. She learned her cooking skills from your mother's home. I also want to see what Ming'er's new food tastes like." Old Lady Zheng said.
After a while, Nanny Su came with a bucket of water and placed it in the yard. Old Madam Zheng and Mrs. Su sat down at the stone table in the yard. Nanny Su took the recipe sent back by Zheng Huaming and instructed the servants how to soak the vermicelli.
Madam Zheng picked up a bag of vermicelli and looked at it in her hand. "This is called vermicelli. It's hard. Can I eat it after it's made?"
"Don't worry, old madam. It's all written in the eldest young master's recipe. The vermicelli will become soft after soaking for a while, and it can be cooked after soaking for half an hour. I guarantee you will be able to eat it." Madam Su said as she soaked the vermicelli.
The personal nanny beside Madam Zheng also said, "Madam, just wait and eat. If you can't eat it, will the young master bring it back? Will the old master let you bring it back so that you can only look at it but not eat it?"
"Mom, that's not possible. Ming'er wouldn't dare to make you angry like this. He is so filial to you. Whenever there is something good, he always thinks of you first. I'm jealous of him." Su said enviously.
"Madam, there are two packages here. They are not addressed to anyone." At this time, the servant came over with two tightly packed packages to report.
"Quick, quick, open it and see what is wrapped so tightly." Old Madam Zheng looked happy and expectant.
When a grandson brings something back, it can be made public for everyone to see, so it doesn’t need to be addressed to anyone. If it specifically says who the address is for, it cannot be made public, at least outsiders cannot see it before the recipient has read it.
Seeing that there were two identical packages, the servant opened one of them and found that it contained a new set of bags from Xiaocaoer Embroidery Workshop.
Old Madam Zheng also knew Xiaocao'er's embroidery workshop, which had limited edition new models. No matter what they were, she would receive one.
Now I received another one, and I was so happy that I immediately asked someone to open it and see what it was like.
This new model is a bag designed by Xiaocaoer specifically for ladies to go out with.
There are backpacks and small bags: divided into large, medium and small sizes, which are specially used to carry spare parts such as clothes when going out. They are sturdy and will not easily fall apart and reveal the contents even if they fall to the ground. They are also practical, especially backpacks, which can be carried on the back without affecting walking or working.
Small crossbody bag: specially used to hold jewelry, change, etc., unlike a purse that is easy to fall off when hung on the waist. It is also divided into several layers. When going out for a banquet, you can put some gifts for the younger generation in advance according to the specifications, and you can pick up the right one at a time, without having to search for it in your purse for a long time and then take the wrong one, which is embarrassing.
There are two new bags, and you can tell at first glance that they are one set each for Madam Zheng and Mrs. Su, because the colors are divided into different categories. Madam Zheng's is a darker color, while Mrs. Su's is a lighter color.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't put it down after seeing it. They sat in the yard, talking and laughing, and the small kitchen also prepared vermicelli and sent it out.
