Chapter 396
Xu Yujian opened Shen Xi's hand and continued to watch with a smile as the maids picked osmanthus flowers.
There are a lot of osmanthus flowers planted in the garden of the county king's mansion, at this time, as long as you step into the garden, you can smell a burst of sweet fragrance, and occasionally a breeze blows, you can bring up the fine light yellow flowers and fall to the ground little by little.
Because the osmanthus is finely broken, it is not easy to pick the osmanthus off.
Like the four big girls in Jinnian, their temperament is more calm than those little girls, but they can also endure picking a little bit of temperament, and the speed is not slow, not long after, there is already a shallow layer of osmanthus in the basket covered with a layer of white cloth.
And those little maids, many of them have not yet made up their minds, and those who have hairy hands and feet can't bear to pick a little bit, so they directly pick up a branch and shake it vigorously, and then take the basket to pick it up below, and the speed is faster than a few Jinnian.
However, such an action can easily hurt the branches of the osmanthus tree, so it naturally provoked the reprimand of several big girls in Jinnian.
The little maid then stuck out her tongue secretly.
In Xu Yujian's eyes, such a scene is undoubtedly extremely lively and moving.
Shen Xi on the side was happy to see Xu Yu, and he was naturally happy.
The two even took a basket and walked under an osmanthus tree, Shen Xi pulled down the branches full of fine flowers, and Xu Yujian carried the basket to put those small pale yellow flowers into the basket, regardless of the speed.
From time to time, the two of them still glanced at each other surrounded by the slightly sweet aroma.
Such a picture......
In the eyes of others, it seems to be sweet.
The little maids were still playing with each other, but after seeing the interaction between Xu Yujian and Shen Xi, they unconsciously quieted down.
It's as if I can't bear to disturb such a picture.
However, this kind of picture did not last long.
When Xu Yu saw that a shallow layer of osmanthus was also spread in the basket in his hand, Lantern Xiao, who had been waiting outside the garden to listen to the dispatch, walked in without knowing what was going on, and after a distance of about three zhang, he whispered: "The prince of the county ......."
Shen Xi frowned slightly.
Since Xu Yujian became pregnant, Shen Xi has become more and more fond of being by her side, and because he doesn't want to be disturbed by others, he has always arranged his official affairs, so that he can stay by Xu Yujian's side with peace of mind.
Lantern Xiao has been by Shen Xi's side for many years, and he has been very reused by Shen Xi, it is said that without Shen Xi's instructions, he should know when not to disturb Shen Xi, but this time he just came to disturb when he was so warm.
Xu Yu saw that he had picked all the osmanthus flowers on the branch that Shen Xi had pressed down, and then gently patted Shen Xi's hand and signaled Shen Xi to let go.
Shen Xi subconsciously gently let go of the branch in his hand.
Then, Xu Yu saw that he was carrying a basket in one hand, and the other hand gently stroked the knot twisted out of Shen Xi's eyebrows, "Zichang, there must be something important to come to you at this time for the Lantern Festival, you go and deal with business first, I have so many maids here to accompany me, there will be nothing wrong, wait until the osmanthus cake is ready in the evening, let's taste it together, okay?"
Where can Shen Xi say badly?
He nodded, took down a few osmanthus flowers in his hair for Xu Yujian, and instructed Jin Nian a few times, and then led the Lantern Festival to the study.
Shen Xi couldn't be by his side, and although Xu Yujian's interest was not as high as before, he quickly adjusted his mood.
After all, Shen Xi usually has official business, and it is impossible to accompany Xu Yu all the time, she is actually used to not being able to see Shen Xi during the day.
After a busy morning, everyone's harvest is really not small, and they have picked several baskets of osmanthus flowers.
There are so many osmanthus flowers, and Xu Yujian naturally can't eat the osmanthus cake alone, in fact, Xu Yujian is going to make osmanthus cake and send it to his mother's family and several sisters.
Because it was decided to make osmanthus cake a long time ago, in addition to the newly picked osmanthus, the cook in the house of other materials had already been prepared, and it took only half a day to get the osmanthus cake, and the fresh osmanthus cake was already ready.
When the osmanthus cake was delivered to the room, it was when Xu Yujian finished eating in the courtyard after dinner, and it was just right to use two hot pastries at this time.
Pick up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in your mouth, it is sweet and soft and glutinous, and the taste is very good.
"It's too late today, Ming'er will send some to the Hou Mansion and a few sisters. Xu Yujian casually ordered.
Several big girls in Jinnian responded "yes" in unison when they heard this.
At this moment, Shen Xi, who had left the garden in the morning and had lunch in the study later, walked in from outside, "To whom and what?"
Seeing that Shen Xi was back, Jin Nian hurriedly bowed and retreated.
Shen Xi sat next to Xu Yujian at this time.
He's been in the house all day today, but he doesn't need to change his clothes.
Xu Yujian smiled and pointed to the plate of osmanthus cake on the table, "The osmanthus cake is ready, it tastes good, and there are still a lot of them, there are only a few people in our house, so naturally we can't finish it, so I thought about giving some to the old lady's mother, and a few sisters there......"
Listening to Xu Yujian's detailed explanation, Shen Xi was originally in a slightly impetuous mood, but he became calm down little by little.
He first buried his head in Xu Yujian's shoulder socket, and said in a slightly sour tone: "Tian Tian, we agreed before, we want to taste the taste of this osmanthus cake together, I just walked away for a while, you tasted it first......"
Xu Yu couldn't help but glance at Shen Xi when he saw it.
From leaving the garden in the morning, Shen Xi has obviously been away for most of the day, okay, he is embarrassed to use "such a while" to describe it, and complains that Xu Yu shouldn't have waited for him to come back and taste the osmanthus cake together?
This man's skin is probably thicker than the walls of the capital, right?
Xu Yujian thought so.
She directly reached out and nodded on Shen Xi's forehead, "I just deliberately didn't wait for you to taste it first, this time the osmanthus cake is very good, fragrant and sweet." ”
Shen Xi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Xu Yujian took advantage of his son's kung fu and directly stuffed a piece of still warm osmanthus cake into Shen Xi's mouth.
"See if I can gag your mouth?" she laughed.
Shen Xi tasted the sweetness in his mouth, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
He actually doesn't like sweets and pastries very much, and he rarely touches them, but who called this osmanthus cake to be delivered to him by Xu Yujian himself, not to mention pastries, it is poison, and he also designated to swallow it without hesitation!
