093 Pondering is terrifying
Xia Nan remembered that a peach tree was planted by Bibo Lake, and now March is the time when the peach blossoms are fragrant, so she got up early in the morning, called two girls, and took the basket to the peach tree. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yulan looked at the peach tree, which was half taller than the person, and looked at her in confusion, "Sister, do we really want to pick peach blossoms?" ā
"Pick it."
The bamboo pole that followed Baoyue found out of nowhere and put it in front of Xia Nan with a smile.
"Sister, use this."
Xia Nan raised his eyebrows, reached out to take the bamboo pole, aimed at the peach blossoms on the tree, and stabbed it down.
Yulan and Baoyue followed to pick up the peach blossoms that fell on the ground, and sniffed, "Sister, what are you going to do with these peach blossoms?" ā
Huyue muttered on the side, "Sister Yulan is stupid, sister is going to make peach blossom soup!" ā
The peach blossoms bloom just right in March, and it is the best way to make peach blossom soup.
One master and two servants soon picked up two large frames full of peach blossoms.
After returning to Xiyan Pavilion, Xia Nan divided into several boxes and asked the maids below to send them to each courtyard.
And she went to the small kitchen and made a cup of peach soup.
Xia Nan is wearing a long dress embroidered with gold silk embroidery today, with only a four-butterfly flower pinned to her head, and a white jade carved silk bracelet on her slender wrist, which is even more white and tender on her wrist, and her slender and moving.
When Xia Nan went to Shaosong Hall, there were already many people inside, and I saw Ji sitting on the main seat, looking at the granddaughters below, smiling happily.
"Sister Nan is here?"
Xia Ying was joking with Ji, and when she saw Ji looking behind her, her eyes moved slightly with deeper love, and she also looked at her, and saw Xia Nan dressed in a plain and well-behaved outfit, and she was carrying a food box in her hand.
In the hall, the Su family and the Li family are all there, along with a few concubines.
"Back to grandmother, it's Nan'er who is here."
After Xia Nan finished speaking, he greeted the Su family and the Li family on the side.
"The eldest aunt, the third aunt."
Su Shi smiled and nodded, Li Shi looked at Xia Nan with a strange expression, but he didn't say anything.
It was Ji who took the lead in speaking, "Sister Nan brought something delicious again?" ā
Xia Nan approached, put the food box on the carved pear flower table, and took out the peach blossom soup inside.
As soon as the peach blossom soup was taken out, the sweet smell instantly filled the room, and Ji's eyes lit up.
I saw that the pink petals in the porcelain bowl were mixed with the smooth porridge grains, pink and white, and it was very beautiful.
The eyes of everyone in the hall fell on her peach blossom soup, and Xia Nan looked embarrassed.
I can only laugh.
"Nan'er didn't know that her aunt and others were also in Shaosongtang, so she only did her grandmother's ......"
Li's face became even more weird, his face was disdainful, and he muttered, "I don't eat this kind of thing!" ā
Su Shi looked at Xia Nan, "Those peach petals in the morning, but Sister Nan sent them?" ā
Xia Nan bowed his head, and Su Shi said again, "Sister Nan, this is a heart, this peach blossom soup can dredge the veins and moisturize the skin, which is beneficial to people." ā
When Ji heard this, his face was even more happy, and he picked up the peach blossom soup and ate it, and said with a smile.
"Since Sister Nan has sent the peach petals to each room, if you want to eat it, go back to each room and make it yourself."
Ji's words made the people present happy.
A bowl of peach blossom soup was eaten by Ji's family, and after eating, she still looked unsatisfied, which made Xia Nan happy for a while.
Li Shi looked at Ji's appearance, and his heart itched again, and he unconsciously said the words in his mouth.
"Sister Nan, I look at my mother's food, how did you make this flower soup, I have also done it in my small kitchen, but I have never seen my mother eat so happily, Sister Nan is really capable."
Hearing this, Su looked at Li in surprise, and the two sisters Xia Xian and Xia Luo were even more stunned.
What is the ...... How familiar is it!
Xia Xian suddenly remembered that when Xia Nan came to the Hou Mansion at the beginning, the Li family had asked them to ask Xia Nan for the prescription, and they blushed at that time, but they didn't expect that now, the Li family would speak again, still in such a large public.
Xia Xian felt that she had no face to stay.
When Ji heard this, he also looked at Li, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
In the face of such a series of eyes, Li sat more calmly, and his gaze at Xia Nan became more and more revealed. Bone.
Xia Nan smiled lightly, "The peach blossom soup method is extremely simple, just soak the japonica rice and glutinous rice for a while, then cook it over a simmer, add peach petals, wolfberry, brown sugar, stir from time to time, and cook until it is viscous and fragrant." ā
Xia Nan was so crisp, but it made Li's face red.
Then he was silent.
Ji Shi returned his gaze to Xia Ying, only listening to her soft voice.
"Sister Ying, in a few days it will be your day, and during this time, you should pay attention to everything."
"Yes."
Xia Ying bowed down with a sweet smile on her face.
Ji spoke again.
"Zhengbin and Yousi have been booked, it is the Duchess of Dingguo and Mrs. Bai, these two ladies have a very high reputation, it is more than enough for you to be Zhengbin and Yousi, and the rest of the praisers, I think it is better to be Sister Nan. The relationship between the two of you should be good, Sister Nan'er behaves decently, is generous, and is an excellent candidate. ā
The people present couldn't help but prick up their ears when they heard Ji mention Xia Ying's ceremony.
Xia Nan's face was calm, and he couldn't see any expression.
Xia Ying is even more clear.
Only Li's face changed slightly.
Duchess of Dingguo?
White Lady?
What kind of characters are these two, not to mention Mrs. Bai, the Duchess of Dingguo is a noble lady recognized by Beijing, she inserted a hairpin for Xia Ying, it is a recognition of her as a person, with her hairpin, Xia Ying will marry her in-law in the future, and her status will definitely not be bad.
Li Shi looked at Xia Ying's gaze with a bit of complexity.
The contemplation ceremony of the concubine of the Xiawei Hou Mansion must be grand and extraordinary, which she is helpless about, but the contemplation ceremony of her daughters must also be very grand.
It's just that the Duchess of Dingguo has already inserted hairpins for Xia Ying, so isn't it impossible for her to have a pair of daughters?
Li's eyes dimmed slightly, and he quietly looked at his daughter.
The eldest woman is bright and delicate, and the youngest daughter is gentle and delicate, no matter how you look at it, she will not be worse than Xia Ying.
Thinking like this, Li Shi balanced her mind, but a heavy touch suddenly crossed her eyes, and the corners of her eyes were everywhere.
The youngest daughter, Xia Luo, moved her feet slightly, as if she was uncomfortable standing for a long time.
Her face was slightly cold, the carriage was the root of the disease after all, although her feet were fine, but when she stood for a long time, she would still be uncomfortable, if you don't look carefully at her walking, you will definitely not be able to see it, but if you look carefully, you will definitely be able to find that she walks on a slight slope.
"The granddaughter is all at the mercy of her grandmother." Xia Ying spoke respectfully.
Ji nodded in satisfaction, and turned his head to look at Xia Nan, "What about Sister Nan?" ā
"It is Nan'er's honor to be the praiser of Sister Ying."
Xia Ying is wearing a hundred butterfly floral pattern makeup satin skirt today, and her black hair is pinned with gold silk inlaid with peony sideburns, the sideburns are gorgeous and exquisite, reflecting her jade-like delicate face, adding a bit of bright color.
Xia Nan's eyes swept over, facing Xia Ying's indifferent expression, she frowned, but she didn't say anything.
"In that case, then it is decided."
The matter was settled, and everyone went back to their respective courtyards.
When she walked to the fork in the road, Xia Ying called Xia Nan.
"Sister Nan, I don't know if you can talk about it?"
Xia Nan glanced at her strangely, and then nodded.
"There's a flower viewing party tomorrow, I don't know if Sister Nan can be interested in going together."
"Cherry blossom viewing party?"
Xia Ying's charming face crossed a touch of laziness, "The so-called flower viewing party is just a matter of the nobles chanting poems and painting to have some fun, but there are still some mysteries here, if it is the first place, maybe it can still enter the eyes of the royal people." ā
Xia Nan's face remained unchanged, but he was a little resistant in his heart.
She didn't want to get involved in things that had too much to do with her.
"Sister Nan is extraordinary, these sisters have been taught, this flower viewing party is in the Weiguo Mansion, my sister must go."
Xia Ying spat out these words in her ear, and then swayed her body and left, leaving Xia Nan frowning.
Patriotic Mansion......
What does Xia Ying mean?
Xia Nan smiled bitterly, no matter what she meant now, she had to go.
It was ten minutes late at night, but Xia Nan had no sleep.
Outside the window, the moonlight is scattered, reflected on the surface of the lake, like fragments of a place.
Xia Nan got up and lit the candle flame in the room, the candle flame flickered, she just looked at it in a daze, the warm yellow candlelight seemed to feel the gaze of the person next to her, and shook slightly, but Xia Nan lost her mind for a moment.
She tentatively reached out to touch the candle flame, but halfway through it, she took it back.
A lot of everything in this life seems to be changing, and the trajectory that originally belonged to her is also changing with it.
She explained that Bi Tong had been staring at Lingyuan's movements, and for several months, Lingyuan had been quiet and not at all, but Xia Nan's heart had never calmed down.
She can suppress her heart that is still beating for Gu Changting, but she can't suppress Xia Sanye's betrayal of the Hou Mansion in the future, all she can do is to stare at his backyard first, and keep an eye on the person who is most likely to become that gap.
The timing of Aunt Fang's pregnancy is too wrong, what is the purpose?
Xia Nan thought about it, but he thought of a thought.
At the beginning, she did not hesitate to pull Xia Nan into the water, but then the carriage had a problem, and it was Xia Sanye's daughters who were injured.
If you replace this behind-the-scenes murderer with Xia Nan.
And how did it end?
A pair of daughters had an accident, and the Li family was crazy to deal with Xia Nan, and Xia Sanye didn't like this niece either.
And the Ji family is naturally on her side, if the Ji family has been protecting Xia Nan, Xia Sanye and the Ji family have an estrangement because of her, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to split Xia Sanye and Xia Weihou Mansion in the future.
Xia Nan was shocked by her thoughts, and only felt a chill in her back.
Think again.
When the Li family slandered Aunt Fang for stealing Xia Luo's hairpin, it may be the beginning of Aunt Fang's demon.
In her early years, she was a businesswoman brought back by Xia Sanye when he was out to handle cases, and she lived carefully in this deep mansion compound.
Li's heart is not broad-hearted, and she has never been soft on her aunt, and Aunt Fang, who gave birth to two concubines, is not a threat to her status in the main room, and Aunt Fang has been very docile and stable over the years, and gradually she has relaxed her vigilance against Aunt Fang.
Although Aunt Fang is an aunt, she was born in a merchant, and she has the help of her mother's family and her own business acumen, which makes her very wealthy, and many of the maids and daughters-in-law in the third room are bought by her.
When Xia Nan investigated the results, she was inevitably surprised, and she was more concerned about Aunt Fang in her heart.
But this aunt's patience was far higher than she had imagined.
She was four months pregnant, and she stayed in Lingyuan all the time, not taking a single step, and the Li family suppressed her harshly, and she never complained.
She didn't move, Xia Nan couldn't find anything, and now it's a comparison of who showed the ponytail first.
Now she just needs to deal with the things in front of her.
After thinking like this, Xia Nan blew out the candle and fell asleep.
Xia Nan was awakened by a burst of aroma.
Mi Meng opened his eyes, and saw a vague figure outside the bead curtain fiddling with the food on the table, with a happy face, and occasionally the corners of his lips were slightly curved, as if snickering.
Xana's eyes narrowed, and she recognized the person.
"The first sun?"
She was puzzled, and when the man heard her voice, his eyes were delighted, and he rushed towards her.
"You've finally woken up, and you've slept long enough."
"Why are you here?"
Xia Nan broke away from her hand and took a wash.
Seeing her appearance, Chu Yang couldn't help but mutter, "I came here to find you, and you are embarrassed to say that you haven't said anything to me these days since you left Beijing, so I will be easy to find for a while, and you may not come to me when you come back, you really have no conscience." ā
Hearing this, Xia Nan looked at her with a slight apology.
This one...... She was in such a hurry that she really forgot to say a word to her.
Chu Yang was unhappy, Xia Nan coaxed her for a while, but she was surprised why she appeared here so early.
There were more than a dozen kinds of fine food on the pear blossom wooden table, and Xia Nan looked at her very strangely.
Today's Yun Chuyang is so wrong, he is either a traitor or a thief.
With a slightly aggressive look at Shang Xia Nan, Yun Chuyang was finally defeated.
"I'm coming to you today, and there's something going on."
Xia Nan tasted a piece of crystal cake and listened to Chu Yang say.
"These days you are not here, I am bored to death, so I went out to play, I didn't expect that damn He Yihuan, actually betrayed me, revealed my whereabouts, my ancestors knew, so angry, locked me at home, did not punish me, but let me read and practice calligraphy! You need to know! I'm not reading material at all, and my words can't be looked at directly, my ancestor said, if my words don't improve after a month, he will marry me off! Xia Nan, Nan'er, you have to help me, I'm only fifteen years old now, it's a good time, I don't want to get married, I know you are good at reading and good-looking, you have to help me! ā
Chu Yang crackled and said a lot, and Xia Nan swallowed the crystal cake in his mouth.
"You want me to teach you how to read and write?"
I thought that Chu Yang would nod, but I didn't expect her to shake her head.
"I want you to help me read and write."
Xia Nan was puzzled and didn't understand.
Wait a minute.
"You mean ......"
Yun Chuyang saw her apricot eyes widen, and finally released a smile on her face.
"That's right, that's what you think, these pastries, all of them I used to bribe you, you eat them all, you have to help me do it."
Xia Nan, it's okay for me to spit it out!
Xia Nan, who was churning in her heart, elegantly wiped the corners of her lips and said softly.
"This kind of thing, you still need to do it yourself, okay, I'm going to enjoy the flowers." (To be continued.) )
