Since I was the most curious person who couldn't ask, I had to ask something else. As for how their relationship broke through and progressed, I looked back to see if it could be polished out from my uncle.

"What do Miss Fang's family think of my uncle? Do you agree with this marriage?"

Speaking of marriage, Fang Anyue's voice was a little bit smaller than before: "My parents are gone, and my brother has long wanted to marry me. He was nagging before, and no one is willing to ask for it. I am in my twenties and I am afraid I will be an old girl at home for the rest of my life. Now I am going to get married, and he is so happy that he said that in addition to giving me all the houses and shops in the capital, he also bought more things for me."

Xie Ning almost laughed.

Miss Fang is too honest, how can she just say these words? Other girls must be reserved at this time, and no matter how they do, they cannot say that they are worried about marrying and hate. They are satisfied with just wanting to get married. The Fang family is even more afraid of their uncle's dislike, and the dowry they prepare is not ordinary.

Of course, Xie Ning also understood the thoughts of this elder brother of the Fang family. If she were her, she would have been worried about this matter. At this time, it was too early for someone to get married, so Xie Ning would not say it. He entered the palace after being selected by the fourteenth. Now he has given birth to a second prince before he is twenty, which is not too early. Fang Anyue stayed at home until she was in her twenties and had not gotten married. She can be regarded as a genuine old girl. How can her family members not worry about it? As long as someone is willing to marry, she must quickly catch the son-in-law, for fear that he will regret it and run away.

Of course my uncle is not that kind of person. He will not be fickle and will think about it one after another. Since he has already agreed to propose marriage, he will not change his mind and say he will not marry him.

So this Miss Fang is already Xie Ning's sure-fire aunt.

Seeing Miss Fang talk about her uncle's words "Brother Ji Yun", she seemed to shine in her already shiny big eyes, and she knew her feelings for her uncle.

very nice.

Xie Ning was really happy. It was the first time in so many days that he was so happy.

There is someone who cares about my uncle in this way, and my uncle also has her in his heart. It is such a rare fate that two people can meet and know each other in this way, and it is even more rare to be able to match each other.

My uncle will no longer be alone in the future. With Miss Fang accompanying him and caring about him, the family members can rest assured.

While they were talking, Lin Jiyun and the eldest prince had moved to the eldest prince's house to talk. Because the eldest prince was going to study in the South Study room these days, there were things to be prepared, books, pens and ink, and a book bag sewn by Fang Shanggong. The desk was full of lively. Xie Ning didn't know what they said in the house. In short, when they came out of the house, they were already as good as someone they had known for several years.

My uncle's self-professional skills are really unacceptable.

Xie Ning had already ordered the kitchen to leave his uncle and the others to have dinner at Yong'an Palace at noon. The eldest prince was entrusted with an important task. Xie Ning and Princess Yuyao entertained the female guests, so of course he would like to greet the male guests. This task was obviously right for the eldest prince's appetite. He asked Lin Jiyun seriously if there was anything he liked and wanted to eat. His serious appearance made several adults smile.

This smile is not a ridicule. It is a kind, knowing smile.

Seeing such a big child acting like an adult, Xie Ning couldn't help but wonder, I wonder if the second prince would be similar to his brother when he grew up so old? He also wondered if he was so old, would he have to act like an adult when he was so old, and he wanted his elders to look at him differently?

Lin Jiyun smiled and said, "I'm not picky about food, and everything I eat is delicious. There are plenty of food outside when I can only eat dry food for many days. By the way, I'm learning the unique skill of barbecue when I go out. Is there any raw mutton in the kitchen? Let them give them some meat, some food, charcoal, etc. I'll show you some of them."

He said so, what's wrong with that? Xie Ning continued to give the order. After a while, someone sent the food to be used in the kitchen, and a little eunuch came.

The big prince Yuyao and the others had never seen such a bunch of things. They surrounded him like seeing the fresh Western scenery and couldn't bear to leave.

Lin Jiyun rolled up his sleeves and set up the rack, started a fire, cut the meat a little marinated, and put it on the fire to grill it. For a while, the fireworks rose, and the meat could be smelled soon.

Yong'an Palace has never been so lively.

"You retreat, each of you wear either silk or silk. When a spark bursts up, you will lose all your clothes." Lin Jiyun waved his hand and asked them to retreat a little longer, but the eldest prince was reluctant to stand far, for fear that he would not be able to see clearly if he stood far away.

Lin Jiyun cut a small piece with a knife to taste the heat, and then cut a small piece to hand it to the eldest prince.

The eldest prince was in a dilemma for a moment.

He did not say that he could eat meat with his hands by his teachings, nor did he want to refuse.

Xie Ning was a little worried: "You should have a weak spleen and stomach, and I'm afraid he can't stand this barbecue."

When the eldest prince heard this, he was afraid that Lin Jiyun would take back the meat, so he took it decisively.

Lin Jiyun said: "The meat is very tender, so it should be okay. If you don't give him more, just try it."

The eldest prince took a small bite and felt that the meat was really tender and full of umami flavor. It was indeed very different from the meals I usually eat.

Fang Shanggong used a fan to drive away the smoke for Xie Ning and said, "Is this the flavor of the Western Regions? It really smells very different from the practice in the Central Plains."

Xie Ning smiled and said to Fang Anyue, "This is Fang Shanggong beside me, but I am the same family as you. Unfortunately, your hometown is not in the same place, otherwise you might be able to recognize a relative."

Fang Shanggong hurriedly said, "Master, this is a way to promote me. Although it is not the same place, I have also heard of the Fang family in Huizhou, and the momentum is quite high."

Fang Anyue was not as reserved as the beginning and spoke much more easily: "What's the matter of politeness or not? Shanggong is a female official in the palace, and our family is a commoner. I don't know where this Shanggong's hometown is?"

Xie Ning knew this, and had heard Fang Shanggong say it before.

"It's near the Qingjiang River, right?"

Fang Shanggong nodded, it should be.

Fang Anyue said: "My brother and I have been to Yezhou. But before we stayed for a long time, I remember that the ducks in Yezhou are delicious. After rubbing salt inside and outside, we put on tea and steamed them, and poured them on sauce. They tasted very tender. This method is good, and the local ducks are good. Even if they are cooked with thick oil and red sauce elsewhere, they always feel that the duck meat is fishy and hard, and it is not delicious at all."

Xie Ning turned to look and saw a hint of melancholy and emotion on Fang Shanggong's face. I guess the dish that Miss Fang mentioned was indeed her hometown flavor.

I don’t know if the kitchen will make this steamed duck. Remember to say it back and let them try to do it.

Lin Jiyun's meat was grilled and lunch was already on. This barbecue was also served as a big dish on the table.

Princess Yuyao still sat next to Xie Ning, while the eldest prince sat with Lin Jiyun. Before Fang Anyue entered the palace, someone told her the rules for entering the palace and mentioned things to pay attention to when eating. But she didn't listen carefully at that time. She originally thought that she would not eat in the palace. Now when looking at the meal in Yong'an Palace, it seemed that there were no tedious rules like the one that said.

Lin Jiyun held a knife to cut the barbecue into pieces with everyone, and Xie Ning also tasted it. It felt that the meat was indeed different from the barbecue I had eaten before. The meat felt very tender and melted in the mouth. You could swallow it without chewing it.

Fang Anyue also took a bite. Of course, it was not the first time she had eaten this delicious barbecue, but unlike others, when she tasted this, she immediately remembered the situation when she ate barbecue last time.

That time, only she and Ji Yun Ge were not together with the others. She was at a loss for the raw meat, but Lin Jiyun cut it into a stick in a few seconds and set it on fire to roast it. When the meat was cooked, it was sprinkled with fine salt.

At that time, she felt that she had never eaten such delicious meat in her life.

Everyone praised the table, and even Princess Yuyao was very delicious. Only the eldest prince, because of his weak constitution, rarely ate meat. Now everyone dared not let him eat more, so he could only sigh at the meat. The snack presented after lunch was small glutinous rice dumplings and melon kernel sweet soup. Fang Anyue picked up the soup and took a small sip. The soup was still hot in her mouth, and it was sweet and soft and very comfortable to drink.

"When I go back, I can tell people that I have also eaten the imperial banquet."

Xie Ning made her amused: "In the future, you can come to the palace and sit there often when you have time. There are no people here usually. It would be great if you can come and talk to me."

With Fang Anyue's current identity, it is naturally inconvenient to enter the palace. Xie Ning's implication is that after she passed the door, she became the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, and when she entered the palace, she came as the Lin family.

Everyone else understood the meaning of this, but Fang Anyue himself didn't understand it, but just responded quite realistically.

In fact, she felt that the imperial meal was delicious, but it was not as sensible as others braised. There was a dish on the mat that contained shell meat, which was made of dried scallops with water. Fresh shell meat could only be eaten near the sea. The capital city was not near the sea, so even in the palace, there was no such thing.

The emperor and the imperial concubine are quite noble, but Fang Anyue does not envy their lives.

I can only stay in the palace and go anywhere. So what if I have such a wealth? Anyway, if I give her such wealth, she would not be happy to ask for it.

Of course, Xie Ning would not receive his uncle's gift in vain, and she also prepared a lot of things.

"Where is my uncle staying now?"

"I live in the Fang family's house in the capital. When your uncle arrives in Beijing, we will discuss with him whether to rent or buy it. Our family must have their own place."
