Chapter 51: Joint Aunt
At the end of August, it was supposed to be autumn, but it was still very hot. It rained last night, but this morning it was still unusually hot.
The sun was shining outside, and it was not cool in this room, the snow coat was practicing calligraphy, and the redwood was fanning the snow robe, sweating profusely.
She used the pen down, has been practicing calligraphy all morning, the entire desk has been full, the structure of the snow robe is beautiful and long, the view is fresh and elegant, in the previous life it was even the emperor full of praise.
If it weren't for his natural talent, a person who only learned literacy at the age of twelve would never have been able to practice such a good hand.
Although Li Xunduan wanted to train her to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he focused on teaching her the singing and dancing skills that she could perform in public, and calligraphy was not learned in a day. Li Xun Duanben only wanted her to understand calligraphy and ink, so he taught her to read, but she didn't expect that she, a girl who was only twelve years old, was not arrogant or impatient, practiced calligraphy diligently, and finally became famous in the capital with calligraphy.
"Sequoia, don't fan. Come and polish my ink! ”
Opened lightly, the redwoods were so hot that they couldn't stand still, but the snow coat was still calm, as if they couldn't feel the heat at all.
Sequoia put down her fan, put her face on the table, and looked at the snowcoat.
"Miss, don't write it. Sequoia is going to the kitchen to get some food to cool off! ”
Looking at her, Xue Sheng smiled, the pen in her hand did not stop, and an imposing word "snow" appeared on the paper.
"Okay, you're hungry, aren't you? I've been with me all morning, so let you go! ”
The words fell, and Xue Cao finally put down the pen.
"Miss, doesn't Sequoia want to eat? But Miss, you always say that you are not hungry or hot, is it possible that you are going to become an immortal? ”
"Good! Dead girl, dare to talk to me like this. Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for not eating all day? ”
"Huh? Don't, miss. Sequoia didn't dare. ”
With a smile on her face, Sequoia sat down with her snowcoat and fanned the wind diligently.
"Miss, now there is nothing but the old lady in the house, sir. You are the most serious master, and those people will be very good to you. If you want to eat it, no one will dare to slack off...... So, Sequoia wanted to ......"
"What do you want? Don't you want to eat something delicious? ”
Snow robe laughed at Sequoia, and then Red Embroidery suddenly walked in.
"Miss, what are you laughing at? What does Sequoia want to do? ”
"Red embroidery, come and see, how can you convince me to get her food when she is hungry?"
"Oops. Don't say it, Sister Hongxiu, I just feel that the summer heat is abnormal, and I just want to beat the heat. Why are you all making fun of me? ”
Sequoia pouted, looking very dissatisfied.
Hongxiu was injured by Zhang's drug last time, and Xuejiao sent someone to take care of her. Although she has recovered now, she has a shallow scar on her forehead, and she has done her best to take care of Xuejiao.
"Sequoia, that's the case! You see...... What is it! ”
Hongxiu smiled and took out the snack in his hand.
"Yikes! Sister Red Embroidery, is it done? What is it? Hehe...... Miss, look. ”
Sequoia stepped forward, "snatched" the pastry, and put it in front of the snowcoat.
The pastry on the plate is green and delicate.
"This ...... Is it mung bean cake? ”
Xue asked Yuki asked.
"Miss, you can taste it. This is what Sister Hongxiu is best at, and she used to make it for me every summer. ”
Hongxiu didn't speak, but Sequoia smiled, staring at the snow coat vigorously, asking her to taste it.
Pick up a piece of pastry and put it to your lips, bite it lightly, the skin is very thin and crispy, and the inside is soft and one bite down. Full of mung bean flavor, refreshing and rich, but there is also a floral fragrance in it, between the lips and teeth, in addition to the taste of mung bean paste, a kind of glutinous thing is tasted, swallowed to the throat full of floral fragrance, fresh......
"This ...... What else was put in? Very light taste, not mung beans? ”
After taking a bite, Yuki's coat questioned, looking at the pastry in his hand, and there were some purple ingredients in its green crispy skin.
Xue Bao: "I see, this is hibiscus?" ”
Sequoia: "That's right! Miss is amazing. ”
Red embroidery: "It's indeed hibiscus, the slave maid went to the house to pick it early this morning, and the hibiscus in August wants to thank you, but I remember that I haven't made my own good pastries for Miss, Miss still likes it?" ”
"You're so good, how could I not like it. This mung bean is accompanied by hibiscus, which is really beautiful, delicious and relieves the heat. Well done! ”
The snow robe did not hesitate to praise, and the red embroidery was praised happily, but smiled quietly.
I feel warm in my heart, I am a person who has experienced life and death, and I didn't have a so-called friend in my previous life until I died, although I have my own confidant. But there is only Yang Yang alone, and now that he has come to the Lin Mansion, isn't it also a happy event to get two loyal maids who are moving and quiet?
"If Miss likes it, the red embroidery will be made for Miss every day."
"This hibiscus flower should be thanked, so let's make more!"
Snow coats rarely like to eat, and the two girls are very happy. Since the last time the Zhang family was banned enough to come, Xue Cao basically hasn't gone out.
Zhang's side didn't care about any movements, Xuefu didn't care, as if he had wasted a lot of time. Every day, I just practice calligraphy and enjoy the flowers. It's starting to look like a lady.
At this time, a girl came in from outside to report.
"Miss, Aunt Tang is here."
Sequoia: "What is she here for?" Miss? ”
Xue Cao put down the pastry in his hand and said softly.
"Call her in!"
After a while, Tang Xianzhen, who was waiting outside, walked in.
"Miss, this is really simple and generous, which is very consistent with your temperament!"
As soon as Aunt Tang entered the door, the words of praise in her mouth continued, and Xue Cao just smiled as if she didn't eat this set.
"Hello auntie."
"Miss, don't be polite, it's up to me, my aunt, to ask you for peace."
She is dressed brightly today, although she is young, although she is not a country and a city, she is not with this Zhang family, but she is also a beauty.
It seems that Lin Fang has been spoiling her a lot these days.
"Why does my aunt have time to come over today?"
"I'm just idle, just come to the eldest lady to walk around and chat."
"Sequoia, make tea for your aunt. Come and sit. ”
Xuefu asked her to sit down, and Tang Xianzhen said with a smile.
"The tea here must be the most expensive in this house. I've got to try it. ”
Boasting again?
"Where, my aunt has won the prize. My grandmother liked to drink tea the most, and the tea leaves there were the best. One of my granddaughters is just a little bit of tea. ”
Tang Xianzhen was a courtesan before, Lin Fang redeemed her and joined the house as an aunt, she was suppressed by the Zhang family for many years, and she was used to flattering words, but she was useless when she came to Xuejiao.
"The old lady is naturally the most expensive, but the eldest lady, isn't you also the most painful old lady?"
Sequoia brought the tea and poured a cup for Aunt Tang. Xue Bao said.
"This is the best tea I have here, but it's Pu'er."
The snow robe choked her, but Aunt Tang's smile was still bright as usual.
Take a sip and the compliments will flow endlessly.
"The things here are good, and even this tea is very delicious. Isn't it stained with the aura of the eldest lady? ”
"Auntie came over this time, shouldn't she mean this?"
Xue Cao said slowly, she felt that these greetings seemed to be omitted, and the purpose could be directly stated.
"This ...... The eldest lady is bold, I'm just here to walk around. Nothing else......"
Stroking her forehead, Aunt Tang was still smiling like a spring breeze, and she had to admire......
"But...... I see that this old lady has taken over the power of the house, and there are so many things up and down the house. I've been a lot haggard these days, and I'm here to ask Sa'er if you have any good recipes to condition the old lady's body! ”
"Really? Grandmother has been so busy lately that she can't even recite Buddhist scriptures properly......"
"So, what is the best way for the eldest lady?"
Tang Xianzhen's excited smile revealed her purpose, and Xue Yu naturally knew that she wanted to replace the Zhang family for a long time.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with having her come and assist her grandmother.
Xue Bao: "I think, Aunt Lan is wise, you might as well help your grandmother." ”
Aunt Tang: "I'm afraid it's not suitable......"
"How so? This mother is grounded, and there is no more suitable person in this house than my aunt. ”
"The eldest lady said so, but the old lady may not let me do it......"
To put it bluntly, today I am here to beg you to speak for yourself!
"What's so difficult about this, I'll just say it for my aunt."
She's going to help herself! Aunt Tang succeeded in her calculations, and knew that Xue Cao would help her. After all, it seems that in this way, except for Zhang's Lin Susu. I am the middleman and take the initiative to return. Of course, Yuki's coat won't refuse.
"Then I'll wait for the good news from the eldest lady."
Aunt Tang walked out with a smile on her face when she came in.
