Chapter 59 (2/2)
The father and son talked a few gossip together. The old Marquis asked his son what he had done these days. When he heard that he was discussing with several childe brothers of xungui's family to do shipping business, he frowned and said: ”None of these noble families in the capital have outstanding descendants. You work with them, even if there is no good result. Does your eldest brother know this? What does he say?”
Duan tingye's heart jumped and immediately felt powerless: no matter how much his father liked his mother. He was dissatisfied with his big brother's romantic and dissolute nature. In his heart, Duan Tingxuan's vision and ability were always higher than his own. What Xu Niang said that she would try her best to show in front of his father and that she would be able to replace him with his big brother in the future was just her wishful thinking, maybe in her father's mind In my heart, I never planned to set up another son.
Think about how smart and cruel Duan Tingxuan is. At this moment, Duan tingye is really frustrated, but immediately heard his father ponder: ”just, you are good at these things, but your eldest brother is not as good as you. You can manage some contacts. Although they are all dandies, they can still rely on as long as they are not fair friends.”
In a word, Duan tingye felt that his father didn't trust and appreciate his eldest brother as much as he thought, and what did he mean by encouraging him to manage contacts? Isn't this just to prepare for the future? Once he can replace his eldest brother and has the support of these noble sons, he will get twice the result with half the effort.
As soon as he thought of this, his heart became more and more hot. Duan Ni didn't expect that he often said a word, but made his second son have so many thoughts. Seeing that it was already noon, he said to Liu Min, ”sister min, let someone pass the meal. I'm a little hungry now.”
Liu Min promised and asked Guizhi to pass the meal to the kitchen in person. After a while, three daughters-in-law came with food boxes and placed four cold dishes, eight hot dishes and two soup on the table. After saluting, Duan Ni bowed down. Here, Duan Ni took Liu Min and Duan tingye Shi to the table and saw four cold dishes: cucumber with pig's feet, garlic sauce with pig's liver, pig skin jelly and preserved egg tofu. Eight hot dishes were It's roast chicken, roast ribs, sliced meat, steamed carp, etc., and a large bowl of thick chicken soup and a large bowl of tofu broth.
The old Marquis frowned slightly, but Liu Min said with a smile: ”my Lord has always liked meat. These dishes are just right for your taste today. Would you like some wine?”
Duan Ni said with a wry smile, ”I got drunk at Lao Zhang's house and had a headache all day. I don't want to drink any more these days. In this weather, it's best to have a bowl of fresh soup.”
Shi Shi hurriedly said, ”since the master likes to drink soup, let the second master fill you a bowl of chicken soup. There are several sections of ginseng in the soup, which is the most nourishing.”
Duan Ni shook his head and said, ”no more. The people in the kitchen are becoming more and more ignorant. Who can nourish in such a hot weather? They make up their anger. That's all. These greasy things don't want to eat. Let Guizhi go to the kitchen and have a look. It's OK to get me a bowl of tremella lotus seed soup.”
The whole room was stunned. I don't know what happened to Duan Ni, who always likes meat? But they didn't know that the old Marquis was having banquets with his friends these days. They were full of big fish and meat. They were a little tired of eating. At this time, they naturally couldn't see these favorite dishes on weekdays.
