Chapter 10: The Five Girls
It snowed heavily for several days, and the second lady planned to take Gu Anning to Nancheng together, but the second master delayed her return trip due to the heavy snow.
I was afraid that I would not return until the twenty-fourth day of the year when I came back yesterday, so the matter of going to Nancheng Yu's house was also pushed back.
Just after noon to Xiaowu, Gu Anning asked people to go to the kitchen and get a few sweet potatoes over, Qingyuan is a greedy mouth, seeing that this sweet potato is a white-fleshed sweet potato, the meat is crispy and sweet, and he stared at it as soon as he washed it.
"Girl, look, when you go out in the future, it's not like you can't even walk when you see others taking food!" Qingzhu said, handing half of the piece in his hand to Qingyuan. "Eat, the girl asked me to bring it to eat, you are really indispensable, if you will eat it, you will not have your share later. ”
After coming for two days, the new Qingyuan and Qingglaze are also familiar, Qingyuan is honest and loves to eat, Qingzhu is good friends with her, and she gives her everything she eats. Although it is ridiculous, it cannot be taken seriously.
Gu Anning listened to them, hooked the corners of his mouth, and put the uncleaned and cut ones into the fire, and Qingzhu saw that he hurriedly buried the sweet potatoes into the coals with a small pick.
"Usually sweet potatoes are used for steaming, but the girl eats them fresh, so put them in the inside, and when they will burn out, I am afraid that they will also burn out. ”
Simmering sweet potatoes is the way to eat in the countryside Zhuangzi, she can know that it is still in the Chen family for a few years, has been living in another courtyard, the bedding and clothes sent when the weather is cold are either old or dirty, and she has to go to the laundry room to wash the bedding on a cold day and there is no one to help.
Remembering that it was also such a snowy day, there would be a little girl in the laundry room, I heard that she was sold into the Chen family for a while, and after seeing her laundry clothes and came to help, she took her to the idle kitchen, and the things taken out of the stove made her eat warmly.
Thinking of this, Gu Anning was slightly surprised, thinking about it like this, that little girl has not been born yet!
The room was warm and a little stuffy, Qingzhu went to open the window, and as soon as the window was opened, the cold wind outside blew into the house, and the cold Qingyuan shrank his neck. "Why did Qingzhu open the window, and the girl would be cold for a while. ”
"Out of the way. ”
Gu Anning said and sat down again, the door was closed, and the sprinkler and the mother in charge outside did not come, if he saw it, he would go to Mrs. to talk more.
Simmering sweet potatoes have to wait, Gu Anning has nothing to do and asks Qingzhu to take the books he received before, open them and take a look, and the ten words on it are not all recognized.
She never entered the main courtyard in the North Park before her death, and her aunt never allowed her to go to the sisters in the same courtyard to listen to her husband's teaching, and then Li's mother taught her some words in private, and she had no chance after getting married.
Thinking about it, he put down the book in his hand again, and looked at Qingyuan standing in front of the stove, and his energetic appearance made people laugh.
"You're squatting like that, your legs are numb for a while, beware of the stove. ”
"Rest assured, the slave is holding her legs!"
"Where is the girl talking about your legs, because she is afraid that you will break the stove if you are not careful. As soon as Qingzhu said this, Qingyuan pursed her lips and looked at her aggrievedly, and just as she was about to speak, footsteps sounded outside the door, and she hurriedly knocked on the door.
Qingyuan snorted, stood up and went to open the door, looked at the blue glaze that came back with a look of anxiety, and asked. "What's wrong with the green glaze?"
Qing Glaze didn't answer, and when he entered the house, he said to Gu Anning. "Girl, there's something wrong in the North Courtyard. ”
"What's the matter?" Gu Anning said and sat up straight, Qing Glaze's face was so anxious, it was not a trivial matter.
Where did Gu Anning think that this big thing was still a matter of the five girls, and after listening to what Qing Glaze said, she quickly stood up and walked towards the door, and Qing Zhu followed behind her to put on her cloak.
"Wait, girl, you can't go now. Qing Glaze saw her go out and hurriedly said. "The girl is now from the South Courtyard, and the matter of the five girls in the North Courtyard is not a good thing, if you go, your good intentions will become bad. ”
Hearing this, Gu Anning paused, what Qing Glaze said was reasonable, but what she was thinking about was the last time in the North Courtyard, the fifth girl asked her to pick up something.
But this matter is really unacceptable.
Seeing Gu Anning go back to the house and sit down, Qing Glaze went to close the door. "The five girls are still kneeling in the lobby of the North Courtyard, and Aunt Chen from the North Courtyard is also being punished!"
"The marriage of the five girls is very good, how many people can't envy it, why do they want to refuse this marriage instead of seeking death and life?" Gu Anning said, and listened to Qing Glaze continue. "Sensei said it was a girl, and the eldest lady didn't ask why, and how many pairs of eyes in the house wanted to know the reason inside. ”
Qingzhu didn't speak, his eyes seemed to be thinking about it, and the atmosphere in the room was not as warm as Fang Cai's, until the window was squeaked by the big wind outside, Qingyuan sighed, and hurriedly went to pull out the sweet potato simmering in the stove.
--
"Cousin, what's burning?" Jiang Yuan said and raised his thick sword eyebrows, his eyebrows raised, and his whole face became a little more serious, no wonder the woman was also a little frightened when she saw it on weekdays.
Gu Youcheng just picked someone up and entered the courtyard, and was about to ask about going back to the capital to go to the border in the next year, when he heard this, he couldn't help but sniff his nose. "Where's the mushy smell?"
The mushy smell was not unpleasant, but with a fragrance, and the brothers followed the smell all the way to the corridor in the north courtyard.
Qingyuan took the simmered sweet potatoes and sent them to the North Courtyard to taste some for Li's mother to taste according to her girl's explanation, and she almost bumped into someone as soon as she turned the corner.
The mellow body shook, and the paper bag in his hand almost fell to the ground, and when he saw that it was his own young master, he was stunned in place for a moment.
"So the mushy smell came from you. Gu Youcheng touched his chin, took the things in Qingyuan's hand and opened them to take a look, which contained burnt things. "What is this?"
Qingyuan reacted and hurriedly saluted. "The slave maid has seen the young master and the cousin young master. After that, remembering that the thing was in the hands of the young master, he panicked. "These are sweet potatoes simmered by the girl!"
Gu Youcheng had never heard of it, but he saw his cousin stretch out his hand, take the things in his hand, and said to Qingyuan. "I'll take these sweet potatoes, thank you for me, your girl, and I will thank you again in the future. After speaking, he went to the main courtyard, Gu Youcheng chased after him suspiciously, and he didn't know what the simmered sweet potato was, so he let his cousin with a big head start.
Qingyuan watched the two young masters leave in a daze, and only after half a ring did he remember that the sweet potatoes were going to be sent to the North Garden, looked at the empty hands, and hurriedly ran back to the courtyard.
Seeing that Qingyuan came back so quickly, Qing Glaze opened her mouth in surprise, looking at her round and fast back and forth without panting. "You're fast. ”
