When Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law, Xiao Wang, came over, her face was slightly pale, and when Yaya and Amber saw her, they both smiled and stood up.

"Big cousin. ”

"Sit down, sit and talk. ”

Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law smiled softly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

Just now in Mrs. Xiao's gloomy room, I couldn't see her appearance clearly, I only felt that she was extremely thin, with delicate facial features and timid eyes.

Now when I look at it in this bright courtyard, I feel that her face is dull, and her eyes are dark blue, lined with her light purple auspicious clouds and dark lines and narrow sleeves Shu brocade gown, which makes her even more melancholy and curled up, and her eyebrows and eyes are extremely sad.

"Yesterday you arrived, and I waited for my mother-in-law to not leave, nor did I go to meet you, which is really rude. ”

Ya Ya hurriedly said: "The eldest cousin is polite, it should be us who came to visit, but yesterday I was covered in dust, I was afraid of bringing a lesion to my aunt, and I dared to come to the door after bathing and changing clothes today, and I ask my cousin to forgive me." ”

A little peasant girl, but she talks well.

I think it was Xiao Die'er who taught it well.

"Is your mother well? Although I have never met her, I have heard many stories about her, and I admire her very much. ”

This seems to be very sincere, and the faint regret in his eyes is also in place.

Yaya didn't dare to be serious, only smiled faintly, "My mother is in good health, and my cousin-in-law is worried." Speaking of which, when you and your eldest cousin got married, it happened to be when I was sick and couldn't get out of bed, and I couldn't leave anyone, otherwise, my mother would definitely come to make trouble for the bride. ”

Xiao's family Sun Xiaowen is married to the daughter of Qingtian Town, although Mrs. Xiao is not eye-catching, but in the end there is still a head and face in Qingtian Town, and the guests who come and go are also local big families, and even nobles from Fuzhou, how can the Xiao family let Xiao Die'er, who is married to an ordinary farmer, come to the door?

Xiao Ping'er was married without notifying her.

Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law naturally knew the trick and didn't break it, but only nodded lightly.

"There was a lot of commotion on the day of marriage, even if my sister-in-law came, I'm afraid I would be embarrassed to talk to her more. ”

The bride was thin-skinned, and she didn't know how she came that day, she just felt muddy, but it was only when she was alone with her husband at night that she realized a trace of sweetness.

Speaking of the bride, the young woman had a little more smile on her face.

Yaya chuckled and said: "I heard the second cousin say, the eldest cousin and the eldest cousin have known each other since childhood, and they are a good relationship for childhood sweethearts. ”

Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law's face flushed slightly, and she looked a little healthier.

She suddenly raised her head, "Qiu Li, the bamboo leaf porridge I stewed in the morning should be ready, bring some and give it to Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin to taste." ”

After a pause, the smile on his face became a little thicker, and the blood on his cheeks became even thicker, "The eldest young master is studying, let's send him a bowl too." ”

The maid answered.

"Xianggong studied hard, and every day he had to drink a bowl of bamboo leaf porridge that cleared his lungs and removed the fire, and you would taste it later. ”

Bud Ya smiled and nodded, "In this way, it will be the light of the eldest cousin." ”

"It's not a good thing, it's not a good thing," Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law lowered her head embarrassedly, she didn't know what she remembered, the corners of her mouth curled, and she laughed.

"He didn't like to drink at first, and I forced him to drink it. ”

Xu remembered some interesting things between husband and wife, and her face was much more vivid.

Yaya couldn't answer, so she looked at her with a well-behaved smile.

As if remembering something, she looked up at Ya Ya, "Does my sister think this bamboo leaf tea is delicious? This taste is light, and it is so strong, I may not be used to drinking it." ”

Bud Ya's eyes bent, "It's delicious, there is a faint bamboo fragrance, very refreshing." ”

Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law showed a slight hint of surprise on her face, "If you like it, I'll give you some, okay?" You can take it back to my sister-in-law and uncle to taste." ”

The second mention of Xiao Die'er.

Yaya was slightly surprised in her heart, and she still had a soft smile on her face.

"Okay, my father and mother haven't drunk this bamboo leaf tea yet, thank you, cousin-in-law. ”

Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law smiled softly, "How is it possible, this method of making tea was originally learned by me from my sister-in-law's recipe." ”

Hmm? I didn't even know there was this one.

"When my mother-in-law was not sick, I was relatively empty, and I often went to my sister-in-law's yard to stroll, and occasionally helped Chunzhi clean the yard, and accidentally saw my sister-in-law's handwritten book, which recorded a lot of recipes for making flowers and tea. ”

After speaking, Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law reversed her calm just now, and bounced up from the chair like a little girl.

He said, "Wait." The wind blew into the house.

Bud and Amber glanced at each other, but neither squeaked.

It didn't take long for Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law to walk out with a neatly bound booklet.

She opened the pulp paper on the front page of the package, revealing Xiao Die'er's delicate but powerful words: Pocket Collection.

A line of small words is written in the footer: The masterpiece of ancient books, the wisdom of the ancients is better than that of my generation, and the warbler worships Tibet.

Ya Ya knew that Ying Ying was Xiao Die'er's small character, but she had never heard anyone call it, and she suddenly saw the two words, and only after a pause did she understand.

"Who is the warbler?"

Amber felt that it was her mother's handwriting, but she didn't dare to confirm it.

"It's my mother, her little words. ”

Yaya guessed that this booklet was probably written when her mother was thirteen or fourteen years old, and her tone revealed a sense of innocence and liveliness.

"This is the pocket book written by my sister-in-law that I found, you can help me return it to her when you go back, I copied a copy without her permission, and asked my sister-in-law not to be surprised. ”

"How could it be? If my mother is here, maybe I'll give you this booklet directly. She is just an ordinary peasant woman now, and she doesn't need any of these recipes. ”

The buds probably flipped through, they were all some ancient secret recipes, tea, flowers, pottery, porcelain, I had to sigh, her mother was interested in a lot of things.

"No, no, I'm already satisfied with copying a copy. This booklet is hidden in the dark compartment at the bottom of the bookcase, I don't know if she has forgotten it, if it weren't for the bookcase being bitten by rats, I'm afraid this booklet will never see the light of day. ”

Bud Bud can't tell what it's like in her heart.

At the beginning, in order to resist her grandmother's arrangement, my mother jumped into the carriage, ran up the mountain, and jumped off the cliff in one go-

At that time, she should have made some plans to give up some glory and wealth, she came to Xiao's house every year to deliver New Year's goods, and she would stay in Chunxiao Courtyard for one night, so many times she could take this booklet, but she never took it, obviously she didn't want it.

Ya Ya's heart moved, "So I'll keep it for my mother, thank you, cousin-in-law." ”

Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law waved her hand embarrassedly, "I just returned the thing to its original owner, where do I want to thank you, you thank my sister-in-law for me, her recipe is very interesting." ”

The girl brought up three bowls of porridge, white porridge and green bamboo, with distinct colors, and the curling heat revealed a sense of sweetness.

"There's unprocessed mineral sugar here, it's not sweet, it's refreshing, can you taste it?"

"It smells good. ”

Bud and Amber gently stirred the stewed porridge with a spoon, scooped a spoonful, blew it cold, and tasted it.

"It's delicious, soft and sweet, and melts in your mouth. ”

The smile on Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law's face bloomed, and before she could say anything, the corner door on the west side was suddenly pushed open, and the big maid beside Mrs. Xiao flashed in, with a noble smile on her face.

"Grandma, the eldest lady, please come over and serve the sick. ”

The remaining smile slowly froze on her face, and Xiao Wen's daughter-in-law gently said to the Yaya sisters and brothers, "You eat slowly, I'm going to serve my mother-in-law." ”

Looking at her bleak back, Yaya couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Amber leaned closer to her sister, "Sister, shall we go back?"

It's eerie here, and he's a little scared.

"This sister, may I ask if the second aunt is still in the yard of the eldest aunt?"

Yaya raised her head and looked at Qiu Li, the girl of Qiuyun Hall.

Qiu Li bowed and said softly, "Here, several young ladies are asking Dr. Wei for treatment." ”

Oh, those Xiao family girls who suddenly got a rash?

Ya Ya's heart suddenly became playful, and she wanted to see how they were rectified by Wei Wangchu.

"Then, let's go over too, even if we want to go back to Chunxiao Courtyard, we have to talk to the eldest aunt and second aunt. ”

"Miss Cousin, Young Master Cousin, go this way. ”

Qiu Li led the sister and brother to the corner gate.

In the afterglow, a black shadow flickered, as if the white-headed and yellow-billed bird had skimmed over the wall.

Ya Ya was slightly surprised in her heart, this bird looks familiar, where have you seen it?

As soon as the corner door opened, I saw the three girls of the Xiao family sitting under the porch with veils not far away.

Xiao Shuangshuang of the big house lived close and came the fastest, she was sitting in front of Wei Wangchu, looking at Lang Zhong with a pair of phoenix eyes, her eyes flowing, as if she was affectionate.

Oh, Xiao Shuangshuang's old trick.

Wei Wangchu's face was grim, and he was touching her pulse through the veil.

At a glance, the corner door opened, and when he turned his head to look over, sure enough, it was his little black girl who led Amber in with a light smile, bent her eyebrows, gave her a smile, and withdrew the hand that touched the pulse.

Xiao Shuangshuang turned around in slight surprise and saw that it was the bud brother and sister, the corners of his mouth under the veil glanced at him, but a pair of apricot eyes were bent.

"Cousin Yaya, cousin Amber, it's been a long time. ”

Both Bud and Amber gave her a silly smile in return.

Wei Wangchu watched his little black girl approach step by step, and pointed to the seat next to him, "Sit, after talking for so long, do you want to drink water?"

The girl behind her immediately turned around to pour water.

Yaya hurriedly said: "No need, I've drunk it at my eldest cousin's place, don't bother." ”

After speaking, he did not sit next to Wei Wangchu, but walked to the back and sat next to Xiao Miao'er and Xiao Xiang'er's sisters, turned his head to look at Xiao Shuangshuang, and then looked at Xiao Miao'er and Xiao Xiang'er, who were also veiled.

"Cousin Shuangshuang, Cousin Miao'er, Cousin Xiang'er, what's wrong with you?"

He tilted his head to look at Xiao Miao'er and Xiao Xiang'er again, "I saw you all right yesterday." ”

Xiao Shuangshuang's half face was covered in the veil, and the exposed forehead was covered with fine and dense small and red pimples, which slowly extended all the way up to the scalp, and some parts of the forehead had been scratched by her, slightly oozing blood.

Xiao Miao'er and Xiao Xiang'er were slightly better than hers, with fewer red bumps that never extended to the scalp, and the second daughter's condition was milder, her endurance was a little better, and she had not been scratched.

The arrogant and domineering Xiao Shuangshuang also has today.

Amber couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

"I don't know if I touched something dirty, and I got dirty bumps. ”

Xiao Xiang'er glanced at the bud bud angrily, and said meaningfully.

Xiao Shuangshuang's apricot eyes glared slightly, "I'll just say, you infected me with this dirty pimple, and I didn't see anything yesterday!"

Read between the lines.

Wei Wangchu's face sank.
