Chapter 77: Piggyback
It is a good thing that she is willing to get close to the Ye family, Qiong Ying deserves it, opened the cabinet and took out more than a dozen small crystal glass silver bottles, which are full of all kinds of golden, with thin sticks pasted on them, some painting chrysanthemums, some painting plum blossoms, and a bunch of fruits, sent to Ye Wenxin, showed her, she hesitated, frowned and asked, "What kind of food does my aunt eat on weekdays?"
Shi Gui has stayed in the main courtyard of the kitchen, and Ye's can say seven or eight points about how to eat: "Mrs. Dim Sum is sweet and soft, let's boil honey osmanthus flowers on the recovered evening laurel, and we can make a crystal cake to eat." ”
Ye Wenxin nodded when he heard this, asked someone to sift the powder, and then took the honey osmanthus flowers, and Qiongying glanced at each other, this little girl really can't be underestimated, it's only been more than a month, but the girl has been coaxed.
Yangzhou dim sum is wonderful, Ye Wenxin has also been taught in cooking, asked Suchen Shi Gui to make a start to adjust the filling, add more broken osmanthus flowers, make crystal osmanthus cake, put it in a green glass plate and send it up, and let Shi Gui carry the food box to Ye Shi to send a copy.
Shi Gui realized the benefits of this incident, it turned out that it was difficult for a third-class girl to enter the house, but now it is different, she is sending something for Ye Wenxin, and the Ye family always wants to see each other and send some rewards, which not only shows her face, but also benefits.
In September, I don't know how many times she twisted the handkerchief behind her back, but she really can't compare with this, Shi Gui is both from the kitchen and from the Ye family, and this errand can't fall on her own head if she doesn't give it to her.
Shi Gui carried the black lacquer and gold food box to the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, and just as he met the eldest young master Song Yintang who came to ask for peace, Shi Gui offered the dim sum: "The cousin girl got up early in the morning and made it herself." ”
Ye Shi smiled lightly when he heard it, and his tone was rarely with a smile: "Her body is good, she should take care of her talents, how can she do this." ”
Song Yintang rarely saw his mother talk like this, and originally thought that she was very cold to this niece, but she looked at it like this, but she didn't, and said with a smile: "What my cousin made, it is naturally Yangzhou flavor, and my mother also rewarded me with a taste." ”
As soon as the food box was opened, the pastries inside were made clear and transparent, with osmanthus petals, knowing that Ye's love for sweetness, added more stone honey, and there were more than a dozen glass dishes with burning leaves in a box, and a small dish was placed on a piece, which was pleasing to the eye just to see, Ye took a bite lightly and tasted it in his mouth for a long time: "It's a craft that I haven't eaten for many years." ”
Ye Wenxin's craftsmanship was taught by the Shen family, and the Ye family has never eaten the dim sum made by his sister-in-law since he left the pavilion, and now that he is eating, why not sigh.
Ye tasted the osmanthus cake, and only said a reward, this reward is Shi Gui, Song Yintang looked at Ye's face, and suddenly asked: "Mother, do you like your cousin very much?" Ye raised his eyes to look at him, but did not answer him.
Shi Gui retreated to the corridor, but Chunyan came out: "If you don't come, I will also look for you, how did the cousin and a few girls get along well at the banquet yesterday?"
This is a very common sentence, and if you don't hear it, you can only think that the Ye family cares about Ye Wenxin, Chunyan asked generously under the corridor, and Shi Gui replied generously: "The cousin girl is so quiet, the eldest girl asked the cousin to go to the plum forest, the cousin didn't go because of the cold, and she also talked to the Wu family girl Chen."
The girl plays with the flower pot. ”
As soon as Chunyan heard it, the smile on her lips faded a little, and she nodded: "That's good, my wife often chatters, my cousin is used to staying here, and the dishes sent up don't move much, and there are some fun-loving and food-loving foods, you can just report it." ”
Chunyan immediately smiled again, Shi Gui also responded, pinching the reward money and holding it in her sleeve, Chunyan gave her a hairpin with a plain silver carved plum blossom head: "No matter how old you are, you should change your dress." ”
Even if you are ten years old after the New Year, you can no longer dress up as a little girl, you have to comb your hair and rub it with grease, Shi Gui is not in a hurry, the smaller she looks, the more convenient it is.
She was about to leave, but Chunyan stopped her again, still smiling on her face, and said casually: "The village head over there in the old mansion is coming, do you have anything to send, it's always close, and I'll take it for you." ”
Shi Gui's heart jumped, watching Chunyan nod slowly at her, her hand holding the reward was trembling, and she opened her mouth for a long time before saying, "Thank you, Sister Chunyan, I have a few clothes to bring to my father and mother." ”
Jin Li was surprised to hear it under the corridor, which one of them in the courtyard was not called forgetting her father, why did Chunyan still carry things back for her, not relatives, how could Chunyan treat her so well alone.
Shi Gui's heart was beating all the way back, thinking about making a winter coat for all three of them, and going back to Zhuangtou, it was the season to wear it, and Xizi didn't know if he was literate, so he wrapped an ink strip and went back.
The mind immediately came alive again, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, and when she entered the door, she laughed first, and Qiong Ying pointed at her and quipped: "This is good, it must be a big reward." ”
Shi Gui said deliberately that his wife had asked about the daily life of the cousin, and Yuxu laughed: "In the end, it is my aunt, who always thinks of our girl." ”
Ye Wenxin smiled a little when she heard this, she was in a dilemma at the moment, and her aunt didn't know if she could protect her, but there was no one to rely on except her.
"Since my aunt likes it, I'll send it in person next time, but I'm afraid of disturbing my aunt's lunch break. As soon as Ye Wenxin said this, several girls hurriedly persuaded her: "The girl must not think like this, in the end, she is her aunt, but there are many girls, wouldn't it be better for the two sides to be close." ”
Ye Wenxin nodded when he heard this: "What you said is very true, in addition to my aunt, the old lady treats me very well, and I should move around more, can I take out that set of jewelry?
Her original temperament was somewhat similar to Ye's, and now she intended to move around with all parties, so she took out the ones taught by her mother at home: "I remember that there is a piece of burnt sapphire in the box, take it out and I will wipe the old lady's forehead." ”
In addition to the old lady's, there are also Yu Rong and Zezhi, these two don't know what they like, Ye Wenxin pondered for a while, but Su Chen laughed: "The girl has moved around a lot, so she naturally knows what the two cousins like." ”
Shi Gui's mind is still on cotton clothes and cotton pants, where to beg for cotton clippers, is it better to be velvet, or is it better to take some arrowroot, do you want to bring some money back, these are in my heart for a while, only to hear what Ye Wenxin said, and said with a smile: "I used to go to the second girl's and third girl's room a few times when I was in the kitchen, the second girl's room hung landscape paintings, and the third girl's room put some fragrant flowers." ”
Mrs. Song said that she wanted Yu Rong Zezhi and the two to be close to her, and asked them to learn what kind of playthings were fashionable in the south, they were all betrothed to their daughters' homes, and they couldn't socialize when they went out.
But Ye Wenxin couldn't say a word to these two girls who measured and taught them with a ruler, and asked them what they usually did, except for the needle and the silk is to copy the scriptures, not to mention the qin and chess, these two have been learned, and they have also sat and played music, but this mind is clearly not on this, and they dare not offend Ye Wenxin, but playing chess with these two, she might as well play music at home.
"Find a picture album for me, it's going to be the New Year, and I always have to give a New Year's gift. Her whole person suddenly became active, and even Yuxu Qiongying was surprised, but this is always a good thing, if she is lazy and doesn't move around, it will be rude.
"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to copy the Immortal Domain Chronicles? Yuxu added tea to Ye Wenxin, Qiong Ying turned out the album, several girls were relieved, when she was depressed, there was no life in the room, at this time she was interested, even if she was busy, it was good, so she gave two of the six plain dust, and these two quickly poured water to wash the pen and lay the paper.
"The eight-sided screen has five sides, and it will be painted at this time, and it will be put out in the snow. Ye Wenxin originally felt that Yu Rong Zezhi and the two were very boring, usually only working as a female worker in the embroidery building, but after reading for a few years, what he read was the Heart Sutra, except for copying the scriptures and reciting the Buddha is embroidery, he didn't even go to the garden, but when he went out, Ye Wenxin felt that the two sisters were very worthy of communication.
The incense of pine leaves was burned in the furnace of the beast, and the gray felt was spread out on the long case of the landscape, and twenty or thirty pens were spread out in a row, some large and some small, and there were more than a dozen colors, which were adjusted in small dishes.
Just looking at the painting, Shi Gui paid attention to looking at it for a while, helped Liuchu to line up the little big crab claw wicker, and stretched out his head to look at the landscape map that was half drawn on the felt.
The silk painting of Xianyuzhi is used to paste the partition fan, but the paper roll spread out is a fine brush, painted all over the mountains and pine waves, only dyeing, Ye Wenxin took a small dye pen, adjusted the stone blue, and filled it in with a pen.
When a few girls saw that she had something to do, they each sighed, and there was always no one to accompany them for half a day when they painted, and they went to do the chores in their hands, and sorted out the New Year's gifts that were ready to be sent everywhere.
Shi Gui guarded the long desk, and was fascinated, and opened a few windows in the south of the room, and set up a small tea stove to bake coarse magnetic discs, so that the color would be more uniform.
Ye Wenxin drew a few strokes, but felt tired again, put aside the pen and sighed: "Ask Mother Feng and ask her to collect some of Yan's paintings outside, these paintings can flow out of the tip of the pen with my eyes closed." ”
A few girls responded to her casually, she looked up and saw that Shi Gui was stupid, but she thought the little girl was interesting, and teased her: "What, you also want to paint?"
Shi Gui immediately woke up and quickly shook his head: "I just think the red, red, green and green paintings are beautiful." ”
Ye Wenxin pointed to the picture: "Then you say, where is it good." She just asked randomly, but she had nothing to do, and she walked between the rooms, surrounded by people she knew well, looking for a look, and amusing her.
Shi Gui looked at the painting with pines, stones, mountains and moons, revealing a corner of the broken temple door, and there were some sparks in it, as if he could imagine that the traveler was tired and lay on the fire and clothes.
Shi Gui said truthfully: "This person climbed the mountain and climbed the ladder, there was a grouse in the mountain, and he didn't know if he could catch it, so he stewed soup and ate it." "She is already learning to write, and she can put it down when she paints, and she can't chew it if she is greedy, not to mention that she is already eye-catching now.
Ye Wenxin sighed, and asked casually, this painting should have pheasant feathers, she hasn't filled in the coloring, this brush has not been painted, but Shi Gui said it, and suddenly stroked his palm: "Do you want to learn to paint?" said and said: "The poetry and books have been taught to you, and you can learn the same from this painting." ”
