Chapter 44 We Shall Build a Fishpond
After another half an hour, the sky was dark, and Meng Xin returned in the last afterglow of the sunset, and as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she shouted loudly:
"Falling snow, come and see, I bought a lot of things, and there are a lot of fish fry!"
Su Mo'er smiled when she heard the voice, stood up and walked out of the door, and saw Meng Xin busy unloading the goods, Yuzi standing behind with a large wooden basin in his left hand and a few things in his right hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yuzi saw Su Mo'er come out and wanted to salute, but he couldn't do anything with his hands full of things, so he stood there with a big embarrassed face. Su Mo'er smiled and waved her hand, signaling that he didn't have to care.
Meng Xin was very happy to see Su Mo'er, came up and took her hand and said:
"Mo'er, you're here! How long have you been waiting? Are you feeling better? Have I made you any soup? I'll make you whatever you want to eat. ā
"Oh! how should I answer you when you see me and ask so many questions at once!"
"Hehe, there's no way I'm such a person, come, come and see the fish fry I bought. ā
As he spoke, he pulled Su Mo'er to squat on the edge of the small pool that had just been dug out, looking at the dozen or so gray little fish in it. Su Mo'er asked:
"This little fish is so ugly, gray and not slippery, is there such a koi?"
In my hometown, this is called Hehua fish, which is actually a kind of edible carp, which is raised in the rice field, and when the rice blooms, the petals fall on the water, and these fish like to eat those grass flowers, and the meat is particularly delicious. However, there are no conditions for rice fields here, so I will use peach blossoms instead. ā
Su Mo'er thought it was very interesting to hear, although she used to eat fish often, she had never seen how fish grow, and the live fish she had seen were only those ornamental koi in the pond, and she had always thought that all the fish in the world were the kind of bait that was put into the market.
The pond is not big, and it is okay to hold these small fish now, but when the fish are big, you have to dig a pond again. Listening to Meng Xin telling Su Mo'er about digging the fish pond in the future, Su Mo'er even agreed, and Yuzi stood behind with a worried face. If the lord and the lady knew about this, they wouldn't be mad!
But now no one's persuasion is useless, the enthusiasm of the two people has been mobilized, and they have even begun to think about how to eat the fish that they raised. Yuzi sighed silently in his heart, forget it, let her go! Who made her his master!
It was completely dark, and there was nothing to see outside, and at this time, the falling snow also came to urge Meng Xin to open the stove to cook. Seeing this, Yuzi didn't want to stay longer, so he said goodbye and went back.
The yard was full of women, and Meng Xin was not afraid of any taboos, so she directly rolled up her sleeves and tied up her somewhat cumbersome clothes with a rope behind her back, ready to cook.
Su Mo'er was inevitably itchy by her, and walked to the kitchen to see how she cooked, but the fallen leaves and snow were gone, and she was prevented from entering the kitchen, saying that she was a daughter, not to mention the big smoke in the kitchen, even if she accidentally bumped into it, it was enough to choke, and there were eyeless knives inside.
Looking at the two maids who would not give in to death, Su Mo'er was very angry in her heart, daring to feel that she was usually too indulgent to them, but now she dared to stop her from doing things, she was very angry, and the consequences were very serious.
Fortunately, just when she was about to explode, Meng Xin spoke, she was frying a meat steak there, and said without raising her head:
"Mo'er, just go back to the house and wait! there's nothing to see, if you are accidentally burned and cut by a knife later, how can you stand your fine skin and tender meat, and besides, you can't help me, how boring it is to just stand there!"
Su Mo'er lost her temper by what she said, stomped her feet, and went back angrily, the falling leaves and falling snow were relieved, turned around and saluted Meng Xin gratefully, and then hurriedly went to chase her master.
Meng Xin's dinner was very simple, it was out of the pot quickly, she personally brought two meat steaks back to the house, the house was already brightly lit as if it was daytime, and Su Mo'er was already sitting there waiting for her obediently.
She put Su Mo'er's share in front of her first, and then her own. She sat down and said to the maids standing beside her:
"What we use today is very simple, you don't have to serve here, I have prepared dinner for you in the kitchen, you can use it. ā
"Let them go first! Luoxue and I are waiting for Miss here. ā
Falling leaves naturally refused to go away, and she even thought in her heart that they used to serve the young lady to eat, why can't they do it now, she has a lot to do.
Meng Xin was rejected, her face was a little embarrassed, Luoxue got along with her for a few days, knowing that she had a good heart, and she was considerate of them, who were slaves and maids, and they couldn't even use food, but this fallen leaf was too protective of the lord and rejected the kindness of others.
Falling Snow pulled Fallen Leaf's sleeve, and Fallen Leaf glared back at her, then turned back and continued to pestle there like a log. Su Mo'er's mood suddenly deteriorated to the extreme, she knew that the heart of the fallen leaves was towards her, but now she was too much, she was her maid, how could she be like her mother.
Su Mo'er slapped her palm on the table in a fit of anger, and a saucer on the side of the table fell to the ground and fell to pieces. Now all the maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and the fallen leaves knelt on the ground and trembled in their hearts, Miss was angry!
Luoye felt aggrieved in his heart, he was good to Miss, why didn't Miss appreciate it! Now for the sake of Meng Xin, who had just been here for a few days, he treated himself like this, could it be that he couldn't afford to serve Miss for so long and couldn't withstand a few days of friendship with Meng Xin.
Su Mo'er sat there with a cold face, the air pressure in her body made the maids kneeling below dare not breathe, Meng Xin saw that the matter was a little big, and hurriedly reached out to pull Su Mo'er, but Su Mo'er raised her hand and signaled her not to talk more.
Su Mo'er looked at the fallen leaves kneeling underneath, still looking aggrieved and unwilling, she suddenly became angry again, and she said coldly:
"Luoye, you don't have to go back with me tonight, Luoxue will go back with me, you just stay here and serve Meng Xin. ā
Falling Ye raised her head suddenly, her eyes were instantly overflowing with tears, she knelt and moved a few steps forward, pulled Su Mo'er's sleeve and cried:
"Miss, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, you can punish the slave and the maid as much as you want, just don't drive the slave and the maid away. ā
"I just asked you to serve Meng Xin here, and Luoxue has also done it, why didn't she say that I drove her away. Am I too indulgent to you on weekdays, and now you don't listen to what I say, what's the use of me keeping you. ā
Falling Leaf looked at Su Mo'er with wide eyes, and saw her staring at herself with a cold face, she was afraid that Su Mo'er really didn't want her, so she had to lower her head and sob:
"Yes, the slave and maid obey the order, and they will definitely serve the good Meng Xin girl. ā
"You know the best, now you all go out, and when you see you, your hearts will be angry. ā
The maids didn't dare to say anything, they all stood up and walked out, Luoxue hurriedly stood up and helped up the fallen leaves who were still crying sadly and went out, and only Su Mo'er and Meng Xin were left in the house, and the atmosphere was a little depressing and embarrassing.
