Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sour Plum Soup
Xia Zhi put the freshly cooled rock sugar pear stewed Sichuan Bei on the small table in front of Luo Jinyan, and said: "Miss, I just heard from the mother-in-law on the stove that the second cousin and his uncle quarreled a few words, and they left yesterday afternoon, and they haven't come back yet. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Well, got it. Luo Jinyan replied lightly, picked up the sweet white porcelain spoon and drank the dessert in small sips, which she had been used to drinking since she was a child, and now although she is not as hard talking as in the past, she still drinks it every day. She drank seriously and was quiet.
Xia Zhi has never seen anyone who looks better than her own lady eating, Miss has been like this since she was a child, eating looks like a painting, and she just eats, without any superfluous movements.
It's just that the second cousin young master cares about the young lady very much, and the young lady is so cold to his affairs, it seems to be a little ...... No, Miss must have her reasons.
After serving Luo Jinyan and finishing the dessert, he put a few small snacks on the table, made a pot of Lao Junmei, and put the book he just bought in front of Luo Jinyan, then turned around and went out, and did not forget to take a new handkerchief from the cage when he left.
The Li family, like many businessmen, was not very strict with the maids, and in less than half an hour, Xia Zhi used a new handkerchief to inquire about the news she wanted from a little girl.
"Miss, I inquired about it, yesterday my uncle and wife went to the house of the fourth cousin young master, and after coming back, I asked Cuihong to wait in the courtyard of the second cousin young master, and after the second cousin came back, he came directly to see his uncle's wife, and when they were talking, they sent the servants around them, and closed the door of the house. I didn't know what to say inside, but then I saw the second young master slamming the door angrily and going out, and my uncle's wife cried like a tearful child. In the evening, when my uncle came back, he quarreled with my uncle and his wife again. This morning, you and Grandma Fan went to ask Mrs. Fan to say goodbye, Mrs. Uncle has left, saying that she asked a few wives to play leaf cards, but I heard that Mrs. Fan's eyes are swollen, and they can't go down with boiled eggs, how can they go out to play cards, I think I am afraid that you and Grandma Fan will not be able to say it. ”
Xia Zhi was like fried beans, and told the news he had heard.
"Okay, I got it. Luo Jinyan took a sip of Lao Jun's eyebrows, immediately frowned in disgust, and said, "I want to drink sour plum soup." ”
Xia Zhi couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to coax her patiently: "Chang Gui's sister-in-law specially told me not to always give you sour plum soup, it's too cold, and drinking too much will hurt your stomach." ”
"I didn't drink much. Luo Jinyan corrected very seriously.
Xia Zhi stroked his forehead: "Then you can only drink one bowl, only one bowl." ”
Luo Jinyan nodded: "Only drink one bowl, not a small bowl." ”
Xia Zhi smiled bitterly and went to serve her sour plum soup, and as soon as she walked under the corridor, she saw the little girl sent by the Li family to serve Luo Jinyan running over: "Sister Xia Zhi, the distant mountains next to my aunt are here, and it is said that my aunt asked Miss Biao to come over." ”
Xia Zhi turned around and went back to the house, but saw that Luo Jinyan had already stood up, Xia Zhi helped her straighten her clothes, and was about to go out, Luo Jinyan said to Xia Zhi: "I brought the sour plum soup and brought it over to drink." ”
Well, as long as it's something that Miss recognizes, there's no time to give up halfway, including a bowl of sour plum soup, well, a bowl, not a small bowl.
Today, the father and daughter rarely went out to play, because Luo Shao wanted to draw a picture of a horse for Li Yi on a whim, and he had been painting it for two days, and Luo Jinyan estimated that he would not have to nest in the house tomorrow.
Sure enough, Luo Shao took out an invitation card and said with a smile: "Old lady Liao is really polite, I heard that I returned to Yangzhou, so I will invite our father and daughter to come over again, saying that the Qionghua in the garden is blooming, please enjoy the flowers." ”
Luo Jinyan nodded and whispered, "It turned out to be a cherry blossom." ”
Luo Shao heard her muttering and said with a smile: "What, do you know that the Liao family is going to invite us over as guests?"
Luo Jinyan grinned and didn't answer, of course she knew, she just didn't know what excuse the Liao family would find, but it was a good excuse to appreciate Qionghua, there were no Qionghua in the capital, even if Luo Shao was not interested, she, a little girl, would also want to see it.
Looking at his daughter's little face like a pear blossom, Luo Shao laughed: "Daddy guessed that you would want to go." ”
Luo Jinyan blinked his eyes and asked, "Brother Ah Xing, is you going?"
Luo Shao said: "There are people in the Liao family who are officials in the court, and it is not convenient for Ah Xing to use in the past. ”
Luo Jinyan nodded with a smile and said to Luo Shao: "If you go, you have to talk, Brother Ah Xing doesn't like to talk." But Daddy, there are a lot of people in the Liao family, all of them are relatives, several times that of our family, no, dozens of times, the people in their family are really tired, busy saying hello all day long, tired to death. ”
It's really a child's words, Luo Shao couldn't help but laugh, the child thought that he was tired of greeting, but he didn't know that this kind of hundred-year-old family was just a family affair that was short, and intrigue could exhaust people to death, and many ambitious people eventually delayed in family battles and missed their future.
But this also reminded him that even if he can't be a family with the Li family, he can't find a family like the Liao family for Xixi, such people have their own rules, Xixi has been pampered since he was a child, marrying into such a big family, looking at the scenery on the surface, in fact, he has to be cautious, he doesn't want his daughter to look at other people's faces all day long.
Seeing Luo Shao thoughtfully, Luo Jinyan drank her sour plum soup with satisfaction.
In the evening, Li Qingfan and Li Qingshu all came back, and I heard that Li Qingfeng had been found, and he lived in the shop in the Treasure Pavilion, saying that he wanted to reconcile the accounts and come back after a while.
This is neither to close the account at the end of the year, nor to sell the shop, what kind of account is it, it is clearly an excuse not to go home.
Li Yi was so angry that he quarreled with Ou Shi again, and wanted to go to Luo Shao to spit out his bitterness, but he felt that Ou Shi had made such a thing, and he had no face to see Luo Shao, so he had to sit alone under the wisteria trellis in a daze, looking at the clusters of wisteria flowers, and the shadow of his sister Li Xuemei appeared in front of him.
When Li Xuemei was in her mother's house, she often sat under the wisteria trellis to read, her sister was beautiful, and she knew how to read and etiquette, and there were many people who came to ask for marriage, but she didn't want to discuss marriage, she said that after a woman got married, she would serve her in-laws, take care of her husband, and raise children.
At that time, he also wanted to walk around the capital. In the autumn of that year, he took his fifteen-year-old sister to the capital.
On the way, he joked with his sister, I heard that there are sons-in-law in the capital who catch sons-in-law under the emperor's list, why don't my brother go there and catch a son-in-law for you.
Unexpectedly, his words came true, he really found a satisfactory son-in-law for his sister.
Luo Shao is really good, Li Yi is still proud of his vision until now.
With such a good person, it's no wonder that the Liao family will take a fancy to it.
Yesterday he returned home, originally wanted to discuss with the Ou family, when the Zhang family was invited, he met Liao Xiang, the second master of the Liao family, so after the banquet, Liao Xiang asked him to drink on the flower boat, the Liao family wanted to marry the Luo family, so Liao Xiang came to ask for his opinion.
No matter which family's daughter makes a continuation for Luo Shao, she has to kowtow to Li's tablet, Li Yi is an uncle, if he wants to make a stalk from it, this family affair can't be done.
