The light of the setting sun shines through the screen window, reflected in the house, blurring out a cluster of golden halos, falling in the sparkling teacup, floating a layer of flickering golden light, the cup is the most ordinary wild chrysanthemum, it actually brewed a tea soup similar to gorse, the color has, the fragrance is there, the drink seems to really have such a breath of refreshment and breath of the strange fragrance, and then on the pickled sweet and sour live plum, the sweetness of the tea and the sour taste of the plum, brewing in the mouth at the same time, it is a mouthful of fragrant jin, no matter how good the taste is.

Tan Wanqing's body is not good, for this body, it took a lot of effort, and there are not many health collections on weekdays, but they are basically the same, but I look through some folk anecdotes, which record an old Taoist priest who has lived for more than 100 and 50 years.

The secret recipe for his longevity is to swallow his own mouth, his truth sounds extremely fresh, it is taken from the movable word tongue water, he has been drinking for nearly a hundred years, so he can live a long time, Tan Wanqing looks at the head and tail, but looking at the movable type, he feels that there is some truth.

Otherwise, why group the two into one movable type?

After unintentionally flipping through a few books of Taoism, I also found a saying of building a bird bridge, using the tip of the tongue to build a bridge to lead the heaven and the earth, and swallow it, which can nourish the five internal organs and six internal organs, and pass all kinds of qi, and the book compares the liquid in the mouth to gold, and compares it to the god-given elixir.

Tan Wanqing is not a cultivator, but he also has a heart, when he has nothing to do, he puts the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and it doesn't take much trouble, when he is unconscious after getting used to it, he naturally rides it, and sure enough, since then he has been working diligently in his mouth, and found that when his body is good, the water is constantly flowing and often overflowing his mouth, and it is sweet when swallowing.

I have never paid attention to these before, and I am slightly pleased when I pay attention, not to say whether it is really as the old Tao said that can live for a long time, but it should be somewhat useful, since it is not useless, she often pays attention to it, and eats more raw things on weekdays, although there is no obvious feeling, but since then, a mouthful of water is long, even after the meal, there is no peculiar smell in the mouth, but it is very fresh and natural, with a hidden aroma, that is, when he was in exile, he did not wash his teeth with salt and rinse his mouth with tea, and there was no rancid smell.

Even last night's people also liked to be tight, kissing and not saying anything, and when the love was thick, he grabbed her fingers and probed into his mouth domineeringly, constantly swallowing the rich and abnormal tongue in her mouth like a sweet spring drink.

In fact, it's just spitting, but he's not dirty.

Today's New Year, Ruizhu and the New Year's Moon are in the kitchen early in the morning, and they really make a lot of delicious food, but since the house has returned to the garrison, along with the people inside, it seems to have returned to him, and he will send it to eat if he has nothing to do, and he doesn't lack anything on weekdays, Ruizhu is greedy, and Miss is also delicious, so naturally it is only delicious, and this New Year is not much different from usual.

At most, it's just a few more dishes, and Xie Shoubei has a lot of entertainment during the New Year's Festival, and he may not be able to come over tonight, even if he comes, he must be full of food and drink, and his stomach is not lacking, Tan Wanqing asked Ruizhu to make less, just enough.

Ruizhu didn't get much of each portion, but that's it, the New Year's Moon was still full of oil, and in her opinion, the days in this house were like two worlds with her home, and the good ones were like dreams.

Ruizhu brought a plate of chopped jujube and brown pea yellow from the kitchen, this is a snack sold in the Guardan market, Ruizhu looked at the fresh and bought some, the young lady was full of praise, she learned to come back to make, compared with the sale, she not only made enough materials, but also took a lot of ingenuity to make it very exquisite.

The peas are boiled and sifted into a paste, plus honey, osmanthus and jujube pulp, and some peanut pulp, after solidification, cut into small squares two inches wide and half an inch thick, put a few pieces of honey cake on it, the color and taste are good, the fragrance is tangy, the texture is delicate, and it melts in the mouth.

Fuyin has been painting for an hour, the child has enough energy, when he paints, his energy is even more full, as long as he gives him paper and pen, he can be motionless for an afternoon, Tan Wanqing reached out and stroked his head, the body of the painter is not very good, that's it, the energy is invested in the pen and paper, but ignores the body, and the child is easy to be hungry when he grows his body, how can he grow meat if he doesn't eat enough.

So he took his pen, asked Zhengyue to wipe his hands, led him to the table, and used pastries together.

Although Fuyin can't speak, he knows everything in his heart, and his temperament is also very stubborn, and he has served several nurses and servants since he was a child, and he has the heart to serve well, but if he loses his temper, you will spit it out if you stuff it into his mouth, and he is bullied in the academy, and the boy who is older than him lets him ride on his stomach as a horse, he just doesn't lie down, even if he is ridiculed and beaten, he never kneels down and never becomes a horse, this temper is like his eldest brother ten out of ten.

But he ignores others, but Tan Wanqing is different, he is very obedient, and sometimes he is very close to her, often holding her legs, looking up at Tan Wanqing's face, his small eyes are bright and shiny, as if he has something to say.

Although the person in front of him will not follow him like others, please him and coax him, but he just knows that she is good, better than others, even better than the eldest brother, he didn't know at that time, that feeling is called dependence, and he didn't know that what she gave him was a respect, which was the most precious enlightenment for him in the future.

He lost his mother when he was a child, and his eldest brother was busy with the military all the year round, and because he was not accompanied by relatives, his childhood was extremely emotionally lacking. And the appearance of Tan Wanqing is the first ray of sunshine in his life, how many years later, recalling, although he can't remember many things, but in the endless darkness, a bright hall suddenly appeared, as if it was imprinted in his bones, even if his strength was exhausted in the future, whenever he recalled the bright light in that despair, it would be like spring after the snow, and endless vitality would rise.

For him, she is not only a sister-in-law, but also a teacher, a friend, a confidant, and a mother......

Be...... The first woman he liked, she accounted for too many firsts in his life, even if he was dying of old age, recalling his whole life, there was only one person, a person who changed his life, never disappeared, never forgotten.

Tan Wanqing ate a few pieces of jujubes, brown pea yellows, and two pieces of rose sugar, and saw Ruizhu and Zhengyue come in with a box: "When Miss didn't get up in the morning, Master Xie asked people to send three boxes of things......"

In the coming year, the outer city gate was built, and a large number of carriages and horses transported goods in and out of the city gate, and there was no need for a piece of paper, but the silver and gold Xie did not accept it, and these people also wanted to break their heads, and they filled more than a dozen trucks of grain and grass for the military depot to transport grain and grass, and by the way, there were some bits and pieces.

Didn't this move over, the two of them carefully put the box on the ground, Ruizhu said: "The other two boxes are big black cucumber, dried scallop yellow, deer antler velvet and other nourishing herbs, this box is head jewelry and makeup box, Miss see if you like it." ”

As soon as the box was opened, Zhengyue couldn't help but widen her eyes, the contents of the box were really dizzying and dazzling.

There is no woman who does not like these delicate things, from her seventies to eighties to three-year-olds.

Ruizhu was in charge of the young lady's clothes and boxes in Tanfu, and when the lady died, there were several copies of the dowry list left to the young lady, which was really not enough to see, she was like this, how could the young lady put it in her eyes.

It's just that Lord Xie sent it, after opening the box, he also took a look, Ruizhu picked out the things inside one by one, a double-layer box, which contained a set of exquisite ivory combs, grates, and picks, which were milky white all over, and polished out a layer of faint luster, which was not bad.

Another purple sandalwood makeup box, after the five-layer wooden drawer was opened, it was full of popular makeup lipsticks in Jiangnan, Ruizhu opened the fragrance dew, fine powder, and rouge to Tan Wanqing to see, although it is not as natural as the fat powder of Fuchun Zhai, it is better than the exquisite and ingenious bottles and cans, with a variety of colors, but it is also rare, especially one of the five-inch lipsticks, Tan Wanqing took two more looks, similar to the lipstick of later generations.

Rui Zhu also took a look at it strangely, but I didn't expect that it was only half a year, and there were new goods, before the capital, the lipstick was only in the form of a thin sheet, or a paste in the box, and it was picked out and fainted when used, and it was not seen in such a shape.

The rest is nothing unusual, a few pairs of silver flowers, and jade and shellfish beads, all of which are not common new looks of Guardan, and there are also some bottles and boxes of pollen, satin red backs, winter mink hats, and a few brocade armors I don't know who gave them to Lord Xie, and sent them together.

Except for those two boxes, the rest is to let Ruizhu and the New Year be separated.

Ruizhu is okay, Miss has always been generous to her subordinates, when she was in Tanfu, she saved a lot of money for the reward given by Miss Guang, and the food and clothing were no different from the young lady of the family in the general mansion, but Zhengyue was wide-eyed, and she didn't react for a long time, and looked at what Ruizhu gave her in disbelief.

Two boxes of pollen, five beads, two pairs of silver flutes, satin red back and a few brocade matches, Ruizhu can do it herself, so she only picked one that looked good, and gave the rest to her.

Not to mention at least a hundred dollars of pearl flowers, only the silver flute and the flower on the top of the emerald is by no means a bargain of three or five taels of silver, she has been in the house for more than a month, and she can understand it, as well as the back and the armor, regardless of the material and workmanship, are the top of the best, she actually got three pieces of one person, she still came to the house when the cotton clothes on her body, Miss Ruizhu asked Ruizhu to bring the material she bought and cotton to do, that is this year's top top of the good new cotton, soft and loose.

The first month of the month was in a daze, Tan Wanqing let sit there and take the pea yellow to eat Fuyin, drank the milk, and said casually: "The first month is homesick, you don't have to wait with this at night, let Ruizhu go to the kitchen to cut a piece of meat for you, take some pastries and fried food, and then pack a bag of rice, go back to reunite with your family, stay for two days, and come back after the third day of the new year." ”

As soon as Tan Wanqing finished speaking, the first month immediately reacted, and immediately knelt down and snorted, tears couldn't help but flow out, and she said straightly: "Miss New Year's Moon, Miss Xie's kindness on behalf of her father, Miss Xie's kindness on behalf of her younger brothers and sisters, thank you for your kindness on behalf of her younger brothers and sisters...... At that moment, she only felt that her pork was blindfolded, and she still felt that the young lady who was serving was just an adult, and her life was better, if she had suffered from them, how could she be so bad.

Tears flowed salty into his mouth, and at this moment, he felt a little ungrateful.

Ruizhu cut two catties more for her, a small bag of good white noodles, not in the first month, as long as a bag of brown rice is hungry, but there is really no brown rice in the kitchen, only took a small bag of rice to her, let her go back and let the family stew a pot of rice, throw two pieces of meat into it, after the pot is boiled, the rice grains are with a layer of oil, the oil is moist, fragrant and delicious.

All kinds of pastries and meat nests are packed with a baggage, and she also gets a fish, New Year's Moon doesn't dare to ask for it, Ruizhu stuffed it into her hand, Miss is not a caring person, if she has it, everyone has it, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, even if you know, you will only praise her for being clever.

There are so many things, Zhengyue can't take them alone, anyway, the road is not far, Ruizhu simply sent them to the outer city.

There is a family of seven in the first month, the father and mother have raised five children, three sons and two daughters, the second in the first month, there is a big brother above, and there are younger brothers and sisters below, the youngest brother is still breastfeeding, and the younger sister is only six years old, thin like a bamboo pole to support clothes.

The family is too poor, can't support so many children, just want to sell the New Year, originally planned to sell to the city of a fifty-year-old shopkeeper as a concubine, happened to be seen by Lord Xie and took it, now I heard that in the adult's house to serve the lady, good food and clothing and good work and light, every month there is silver to take, relying on that bit of silver, the family finally saved some rice for the New Year.

I thought that the house was busy during the New Year, and the second sister couldn't come back, and the family ate early, but I didn't expect that it would be a big bag in the evening, and I was sent back by the round-faced big girl next to the lady in the house.

Zhengyue's father and mother bowed their waists excitedly and talked to Ruizhu, Zhengyue's younger siblings happily circled around Zhengyue, staring at her contents, Zhengyue smiled and touched their heads, handed them the things, and asked them to carry them back.

Only a moment of things, there was a sound of surprise in the dilapidated house, when Ruizhu left, the father and mother of the first month sent people far away, and when they came back, many people who were also refugees looked at it with envy, and some also said that the first month of the month raised a good girl, and with a good master's family, the future life will be much better.

When they heard this, they straightened their backs, raised their heads high, and went into the room.

This year is destined to be a good year.

In the evening, the firecrackers outside "crackled", and then there was the laughter of children, Tan Wanqing and Ruizhu waited and waited, but they didn't see Lord Xie coming, Ruizhu muttered: "Lord Xie is really, since you don't come, you won't let the ward ...... a word" and let Miss wait.

Tan Wanqing was unhindered: "It's been busy for a year, it's not easy to relax and relax, maybe I drank with someone and forgot about it." It's also clean, every New Year's Festival in previous years, it always gives me a headache, but this year it hasn't hurt, only bitter Ruizhu, you can only guard me lonely. ”

"What is Miss talking about, I don't know how happy I am to be able to guard Miss Ruizhu, Miss rest assured, even if it is just me, I can serve Miss comfortably."

In fact, Tan Wanqing wanted to say to Ruizhu very early, because Ruizhu's deed of sale had already been redeemed by her, she no longer needed to call herself a girl, and they lived and died together, and the actual relationship was already sisters, she wanted to plan for her, and found that her son had a home and a good home, which was better than following her like this all the time, but this girl was very stubborn, and the three girls were all married, only the youngest she refused.

She knew that Ruizhu followed her at the age of seven, not only as a master, but also as a relative.

Although it is difficult for her to understand the kind of love cup that even if she is no longer a slave, she still recognizes her as the master in her bones, but if she understands this as a kind of family affection, she will recognize it, if this is the case, if she proposes separation, it will definitely hurt Ruizhu's heart, so she didn't mention it again.

The meal was ready-made, and it was made before the first month of the afternoon and left, only simmering on the stove, Fuyin ran to the yard to see the sheep for a long time, and lay on the crack of the door to watch the adults set off firecrackers, and after being satisfied, he was carried back to the house by Ruizhu to eat, and fell asleep in a daze after eating.

Placing people in the west chamber, the master and servant took a comfortable bath, Ruizhu dried Tan Wanqing's hair, and the two went to bed early.

Who knew that just after a watch, there was a sound of pulling the door outside, after Ruizhu woke up, hurriedly palmed the lamp to the ground, looking out from the door, it was Lord Xie, she quickly opened the door, and there was a burst of alcohol.

She whispered beside her, "My lord, Miss is asleep." But Lord Xie didn't say anything, and walked towards the east house with a calm face as if he hadn't heard it.

Rui Zhu hurriedly closed the door, and when she turned around and walked to the west chamber uneasily, she heard the sound of a stool falling to the ground from the east room, and the candle lamp in her hand flickered, and then Lord Xie's angry voice came: "Tan Wanqing, you make it clear, you and the son of *, you ...... Can't you forget him? I want to guard that bullshit Zheng Qingming! ”
