The cat had to go out for a winter, and the scenery was so good that even the servants who brought it out had a smile on their faces, which made people feel a little happy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Qin changed into a light shirt to find Mrs. Zhao, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Mrs. Zhao was wearing a double-buckle skirt skirt with autumn fragrance, her head was neatly combed, only a jasper hairpin was inserted, and under her feet was a pair of light moire soft shoes, and her complexion was two or three points better than at home.

Listening to Coral flattering on the side, "The old lady is younger than me this time, if you go out, I'm afraid that someone will call you a little lady." ”

Old Madam Zhao pursed her lips and smiled, "Talking nonsense again, be careful that I beat you up for a while." ”

Zhou Qin stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Zhao's arm, "I think Sister Coral didn't talk nonsense, grandmother is young today." ”

Old Madam Zhao touched her hair unconsciously, and scolded with a smile: "I hurt you in vain in the past." ”

The two talked and laughed all the way to the backyard.

The backyard is another scenery, the flat land is open, planted with a large area of roses, red, pink, white, yellow and orange are sandwiched together, and there are shades between the colors, among which there are several paths, specially for people to enter and play, and two stone tables are placed, more than a dozen stone benches, and there are a few fallen flowers on it occasionally.

Zhou Qin took a deep breath, only to feel that it was fragrant, but not greasy.

Zhou Qin first chose a stone bench for Mrs. Zhao, asked people to put a cushion, and the two of them sat down. Mama Meng came over and said, "What do the old lady and the girl want to use at noon, the housekeeper of this courtyard said that there are invited Eight Immortal House cooks in Huiyuan, who are the best at making noodles." ”

Mrs. Zhao said, "I eat noodles, what does Aunt Xian want to eat?" ”

Zhou Qin smiled, "I'll eat noodles too, you let him pick up the best ones." She thought for a moment and said, "Don't eat shrimp." ”

At this time, it is the season when the river shrimp is plump, and the most famous dish in the Eight Immortal Buildings is Longjing shrimp, but Mrs. Zhao has diarrhea every time she eats shrimp, so she told her in advance.

Old Madam Zhao frowned and said, "It's hard to come out, so let's order shrimp." ”

Mama Meng, who was about to tell the little girl to order food, stopped and looked at Zhou Qin.

Zhou Qin pursed his lips and looked at Old Madam Zhao with a smile, and after a while, Old Madam Zhao coughed lightly, "I don't eat again." ”

"I don't eat either." Zhou Qin said with a smile.

The little girl took the order.

Zhou Qin felt more and more that the word was very reasonable. Now that my grandmother is old, she needs to take more care of her, and don't let her do it at will.

Zhou Qin saw that there were a few bushes of light pink double-petaled roses on the left hand side, and asked the begonia to pick up a few branches, and it was not long before they were presented in the tray. She took the flowers that were in full bloom, personally inserted them into Mrs. Zhao's sideburns, and took the half-opened ones to play with in her hands.

Coral handed over the tea brought by the little girl, and said while helping to set up snacks: "I just saw someone flying a kite in the distance, but it fell down after a while." ”

Zhou Qin hurriedly said: "My kite is still in the box." Hurriedly called Begonia to rummage through the box, and said to Mrs. Zhao: "My brother and I each painted one a few days ago, and when I brought it to my grandmother, I will see which one I painted." ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a flute sound in the distance, melodious and graceful, and after a song, the sound of the zither sounded again.

Old Madam Zhao listened attentively for a while, and then said to Mama Meng: "Is there also a servant in this Hui Garden?" Ask if there is any free, I invited to play the flute in the evening, let's enjoy the flowers at night, and also accompany a song. ”

"If you want to hear it, let's wait for my brother to take a break and find someone to blow it?" Zhou Qin said jokingly.

Old Madam Zhao snorted, "Waiting for him?" When he sees heaven, he knows how to coax me. After saying this, I smiled unconsciously.

The grandchildren of the Protectorate Mansion are only Zhou Qin's brothers and sisters. Zhou Yanzhi is the eldest grandson, and the Protector Mansion has its own set of men's parenting methods, never arrogant or accustomed, but Zhou Qin, who is the only daughter in the three generations, and there is a lot of love in the family.

When Mrs. Zhao was young, she loved her grandchildren very much, and later her husband and eldest son suffered together, and the second son was far away, so she had to discipline her grandson with a straight face. But in front of people, she criticized her many harshly, but she was very satisfied with this grandson in private. Now she complains about her grandson in front of her granddaughter, and even she doesn't believe it.

The two enjoyed the flowers with the sound of the zither, and Mama Meng came back to talk.

"The daughter of Yang Hanlin's family lived in Muxilou, but she didn't invite Le Ling, and the steward said that the building was equipped with a few musical instruments from the previous dynasty, and I thought which girl saw it and took it for a joke."

Zhou Qin looked towards Muxilou, and sure enough, he saw that the window lattice on the second floor had been opened, and he could occasionally see one or two pairs of calligraphy and paintings in the building, and a few hanging pens.

Mama Meng pondered and said, "Although I know each other, I don't know each other very well, do you want to go and say hello?" ”

Old Madam Zhao frowned, "Let's talk about it when we meet." ”

Zhou Qin was silent.

Yang Hanlin's family has a son and two daughters, the youngest daughter is born of a servant and raised by the concubine, the eldest daughter Yang Miaofang is the eldest daughter, and she has a talent among the official eunuchs in the capital since she was a child.

Zhou Qin has met with the two sisters a few times, only talked about a few words, and is not familiar, I only remember that once a noble girl was born, she sent a self-painted "Drunken Sleeping Begonia Picture", the girl was painted vividly, and the appearance of the noble girl was present. The one who wants to play the piano this time is this Yang Miaofang Yang girl.

At one moment, the girl brought up the dishes that had just been made, and they were lined up one by one, and Mama Meng stepped forward to divide them.

Zhou Qin first looked at the noodles in front of him, the noodles were thin, and there were two or three pieces of Jinhua ham with a clear texture on the top, and there were fresh bamboo shoots piled up next to the ham in white, lined in the golden chicken soup, the heat was smoked, the fragrance was tangy, and it aroused people's appetite. She took the chopsticks and found that the porcelain bowl with a big face had a large mouth, but the bottom of the bowl was small and shallow, and she finished it in just a few bites.

Mama Meng stepped forward to add face to her.

There were more than a dozen side dishes on the table to deliver noodles, and Zhou Qin picked up the emerald green woad and mixed it into the soup, and ate more than half of it on one plate.

This meal lasted for half an hour, and Mrs. Zhao had a beautiful scenery to eat, and even ate two small pickled finches that accompanied the meal, and let Zhou Qin eat it too.

When the meal was over, the man in charge of the cook was rewarded, and he was invited to pick up the best ones in the evening.

Mrs. Zhao had just eaten lunch, and she was a little tired, so she sat down for a while and wanted to go back to take a nap. Zhou Qin was sleepy, and was about to go back to the room to find something to pass the time, but Fangcao came back, as soon as he entered the door and saluted first, he talked about the situation of the Hui Garden, and his face was full of eagerness, "The garden is big, there are few people, it is very clean, there are flowers everywhere, there is a big lawn, the grass is also short, and there are few insects, so it is the most suitable for flying kites." ”

Zhou Qin told her to go and see the scene, so that she would fly a kite with Mrs. Zhao in the afternoon.
