Chapter 34: Jam
On the carriage on the way back, Qi Zhongshen was depressed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Before leaving, the old lady each gave a reward of ten taels of silver to buy meat and wine, and the Zhuangzi steward Xie De'an was middle-aged, and he had no fun to take a sip of wine, and asked with a heavy pocket, "What's wrong with you?" The girl was raised so well, and she was smart and courageous, and she played extremely well with her calculations. Do you look more distressed than you go? ”
"You're right." Qi Zhongshen stretched the cigarette pot out of the car window and knocked it a few times, "It's just that I looked at the girl, thinking deeply, but I was a little impulsive, and I saw that there were still ...... that I couldn't explain."
He couldn't find the words to describe it, Xie De'an pinched the tobacco leaves and stuffed them into the cigarette pot and lit them, he smacked two sips, his face sank like water, "Little, different charm, different from everyone's, that kind of rebellious force." ”
Xie De'an was so worried that his facial features were huddled together, "What are you talking about!" What did you say to the girl in the house later? ”
Qi Zhongshen leaned back against the wall of the car, took a sharp breath, and slowly exhaled the cigarette, "I had the heart to talk to her, but I couldn't open my mouth." ”
Xie De'an didn't know what was in this talk, but he knew that it was taboo and didn't dare to answer. Qi Zhongshen sighed, "She asked me to ask her about someone." ”
"Inquiring about someone?"
"yes!" Qi Zhongshen was so distressed that the folds between his eyebrows deepened a little, "It was said that she was a merchant selling a head rope in Jindong County, I saw that she wanted to fool me, but then she didn't say it, and told the truth." Dao is a maid under her hand, and she has taken a fancy to the merchant. ”
Xie De'an just praised Qin Yudui, and now he can't care about contradictions, "That girl is still ignorant!" ”
Qi Zhongshen disagreed, "She's not ignorant, I think she understands it very well!" Even if she understands it, she has to do it! ”
Xie De'an finally knew what Qi Zhongshen was worried about, if the girl knew that such a thing would be useless and troublesome, and would even be involved, but she would rather hide from Old Madam Qin to come to the big shopkeeper who met for the first time to help, that means that she has the right idea and is extremely emotional, such a temperament, if she is not satisfied with her own family affairs in the future, it will be very difficult to do.
Qi Zhongshen smoked the smoke in the carriage, and he was a little choked himself, so he asked the groom to open the curtain of the carriage, and the cold wind swished through his neck, and he shuddered, "The girl's husband is not easy to choose, I'm afraid it's even more difficult now, go back to my courtyard first, and I want to repair a letter to the prince of the county." ”
Qin Yuwan was also worried about this, and said with the book magpie, "I didn't expect the big shopkeeper to be so powerful, he just looked at me casually, and knew that I had something to ask someone to help." I thought, anyway, I can't escape his eyes if I find other stewards, so I just entrust him, isn't it too anxious? ”
Qin Yuwan was busy all morning, Changsong Yuan sent peach blossom cake boiled into apple sauce, and Shuque took a silver spoon and put it on the tray to present, "If you are in a hurry, you have to trust him." Do you think he will tell the old lady? If not, that's it. ”
Qin Yuwan picked up the spoon, dug a little and tasted it, and immediately laughed sweetly, "He won't tell his grandmother, but he may tell his grandfather, what if his grandfather knows about it and sue his grandmother?" ”
She laughed happily, making the book magpie laugh too, "You hippie smile, are you worried about this!" If you're really worried about this, worrying about that, you won't open that head earlier! ”
"Makes sense!" Qin Yudui was like an initiation, and as soon as his whole body was relieved, his mind drifted to the peach blossom cake, "This is okay, is the cook new?" The sauce is delicious, but the cake is a little powdery, and it falls straight when you eat it. ”
Shuque smiled, "It's okay for you to eat, I'm afraid this dish is going to be put on the feast." This peach blossom cake is a new pastry created by the second lady for the eldest girl and the banquet, the pastry has just changed a trick, the sauce drizzled is golden, this year's apple has not been served, this sauce is afraid that it was frozen in the ice cellar last year. ”
Qin Yuwan silently put down the spoon, "Isn't that more than half a year......
"What are you afraid of?" Shuque laughed at her, "The old lady asked me to send it, can I still eat you?" ”
Qin Yuwan shook his head repeatedly, "That can be said, if you really eat me, you can't bear it for me, I won't listen to you." ”
Qin Yudu's words came true when he had dinner, but he didn't have a spirit in himself. Shu Yan ran over in a panic to ask the third girl if she was uncomfortable, and seeing Qin Yuwan holding the bowl and looking at her with a confused face, Shu Yan explained, "That peach blossom cake, the fourth young master has eaten too much, and his stomach is bad." The outer courtyard is making a commotion, and the old lady asked me to come and see you. ”
Shuque gave her a bowl of water, she gurgled and drank, Qin Yudui asked, "Is there something wrong with the fourth brother?" Didn't anyone on the second aunt's side make a mistake? ”
"I don't know, maybe they eat less." Shuyan wiped his sweat and said, "Even if that thing is not broken, it is taken out of the ice cellar in a cold way, and the fourth young master eats so much, it is easy to freeze." ”
Shuque sent Shuyan back, Qin Yuwan shook his head and said, "It's fun, it's fun, this time the eldest lady is going to annoy the second room." ”
Shuque looked at Qin Yudu's eyes and sandwiched a piece of duck meat for her, "When you came back a few days ago, you still remember the dinner you had in Suiyun Pavilion?" ”
Qin Yudui thought about it for a while, and was even more happy, "I don't care, the second room is so big, how to hold a banquet, you still have to come to our side." ”
Shuque was very helpless about Qin Yudu's schadenfreude, "I saw it as soon as I went that day, the rockery near it was picked up, and Suiyun Pavilion was also newly painted, replaced with a new screen, placed a new bonsai and added some objects, you have a high vision, you can see the ordinary, naturally you don't pay attention." ”
"When I arrived, it was dark, and I didn't look carefully." Qin Yudui let go of the chopsticks, wiped his hands, and sat down in place to eat, "If you make such a fuss, what should you do with this banquet?" I didn't care, did they do it together? ”
Qin Yuwan ate little, and the rest of the dishes were generally rewarded to the maids, and the two of them came in to help Shuque collect the table, and Shuque said, "The ladies have discussed before, and the second lady said that she would borrow a place for them that day, and the people who serve and the kitchen are all in their second room, so we will wait to eat and drink." ”
Qin Yudui sat down for a while after dinner to eat tea, Ning Bei had already brewed boiling tea, put a light and warmed it and sent it up, Qin Yudui pecked lightly and said, "You go down to eat first, I'll sit alone." ”
Ning Wan jumped in and said, "I've eaten, I'll talk to the girl." ”
The maids in the courtyard waited for Qin Yuwan to eat and taste some meat, Ning Wan has never been greedy, and every morning she eats, Qin Yuwan let her sit and said with a smile, "What do you want to tell me?" ”
Ning Wan is the niece of a housekeeper lady in Gongzhong Village, one year older than Qin Yuwan, her small face and round eyes are very lively, she looked up at Qin Yuwan on the couch and smiled, "I told Sister Shuque, followed Sister Shuyan to Changsong Courtyard for a trip, and went to Chuanlu Courtyard to send a message to my cousin Xiu'er." ”
Qin Yudui smiled and said quietly, and she said worriedly, "I didn't shake your wit with you...... Chuan Luyuan didn't know whether he was listening to someone or letting out the news, saying that the jam was bad, and the second lady brought it to let the big guys try it, just to see if it would make a stomach. In the Changsong Courtyard, I didn't dare to go in, the eldest lady and the second lady quarreled very much inside. ”
Qin Yuwan raised his eyebrows, looked at his fingers, and smiled, "They are so noisy, the matter of holding a banquet is hanging." Ning Wan, when do you think the second lady will come to invite me? ”
Ning Wan couldn't figure it out, "Please?" ”
With the character of the eldest lady, if this happens, she will definitely do everything possible to block the second lady, and the current banquet is a great opportunity, but the second lady can't sit still.
It's not right, don't you want to learn the housekeeper from the three girls in your big house, and you will practice the three girls at the banquet.
No one can push away such an excuse. Therefore, with the help of Qin Yudu, the preparation of the banquet was thrown into the big room, and when there was a business trip, everyone would be embarrassed together.
Qin Yuwan couldn't guarantee that she guessed correctly, but as soon as the tea at hand was finished, Yiyue came.
