Chapter 6 A first-class means of pleasing women
The days that followed were calm and lackluster, and Murong Fu still worked hard every day to make no mistakes, and he also saved rain or shine every morning and dusk. After all, he was young, and he didn't recuperate well after receiving this cane, and when his injuries healed, he lost a lot of weight.
On the other hand, Mrs. Murong has Dr. Liu's wonderful hand to rejuvenate, and her body has been getting better day by day. She saw that Murong Fu's five knuckles were protruding every day, and she felt a little thrilling when she was thin, and she couldn't help but caress his cheeks and said distressedly: "How have you lost so much weight recently?" But too much homework? Since Gongye Qian decided that Murong Fu was the Zhongxing male lord of the Great Yan Kingdom, he naturally hoped that he would grow up to conquer the world as soon as possible, so he went to admonish Mrs. Murong and added a lot of literary and martial arts lessons to Murong Fu. Mrs. Murong was worried that she didn't know how to discipline her son, so that he could restrain his external intentions and try to restore the country. In the middle, the good is like flowing.
Murong Fu subconsciously turned his face slightly, trying to avoid the right hand that the other party stretched out. However, it was only for a moment, he reacted, immediately stiffened his body and did not move, and only replied respectfully: "Xu is bitter summer has no appetite, and it will be good to wait for autumn to be cool." ”
Mrs. Murong didn't pay attention to this little abnormality, as a mother, she felt sorry for her son after all, and at this time, she half leaned on the couch and looked at her son carefully for a while, only to feel that he was not thin in any place, and even the clothes on his body seemed to be a lot fatter. She wanted to say, "If the homework is too heavy, it is better to put it aside for a while." Just thinking about what Gongye Qian said, the blade of the sword sharpened itself, and the drowned man was like a murderer, and swallowed the words back. After hesitating for a long time, he finally chose a compromise plan, and said with concern: "Since you don't have an appetite, let the kitchen make you some Poria osmanthus cake, okay?" I remember your favorite eating this when you were a kid. ”
When Murong Fu heard this, he secretly smiled bitterly, and was silent for a while before slowly replying, "Thank you, mother." He still remembered that when he was five years old, because he was young and weak, he couldn't stand steadily, and Mrs. Murong punished him for not being allowed to eat. When he was hungry, he went to the kitchen to steal Poria osmanthus cake, and he didn't want to be caught by Mrs. Murong again, so he was slapped in the face. Since then, he has never moved when he sees this Poria osmanthus cake.
After getting out of Mrs. Murong's bedroom, most of the time had passed, and Murong Fu walked out of the door and looked at the light breeze outside and sighed softly. When he returned to the study, he spread out the rice paper, held the pen in his hand, and wrote down the words "no haste, be patient" with all his might, slightly stunned.
After a while, Gui's mother also followed, and she was holding a plate of Poria osmanthus cake that had just been made. Suzhou's pastries have always been exquisite, although the materials of this plate of Poria osmanthus cake are simple, the shape is small and elegant, straight like a flower of osmanthus flowers blooming in the plate, as if it is not for people to eat but for people to enjoy. Ah Bi was born poor and didn't see a lot of good things until he entered the Swallow Dock, but this Poria osmanthus cake is not a proper seasonal food, and he has not yet had the opportunity to see it, so he can't help but be surprised.
Murong Fu saw that she looked greedy, and casually pushed the dishes over. "Take it and divide it with Azhu."
Ah Bi hurriedly put her hands behind her back and whispered, "The maid doesn't dare, this is what the lady specially ordered to the son." ”
Murong Fu saw her looking at the plate of pastries while refusing to excuse herself, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, and reached out to scratch her cheek. "Don't you dare to keep an eye on it?"
Ah Bi has been with Murong Fu for several months, and knows that he has a gentle temperament, so he is not afraid of him. Hearing Murong Fu making fun of herself, she hurriedly turned her face to confess: "It's not ...... This is Madame's heart for Childe, Childe...... Childe has indeed lost a lot of weight recently. ”
Murong Fu's expression was slightly cold when he heard the word "heart", and after a long time, he said slowly: "You said very much, the elders gave it, and I didn't dare to resign." ”
Ah Bi was still young and didn't understand Murong Fu's thoughts, so she only instinctively felt that her son-in-law didn't seem to be very happy. She didn't know how to explain it, so she just looked at Murong in a daze.
The two were speechless to each other, and Azhu's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Childe, Miss Biao is here." ”
Before Ah Zhu's words fell, he only heard a loud "bang", the door of the study had been vigorously slammed open, and Wang Yuyan rushed in like a vigorous antelope, calling "cousin" in her mouth, raising her arms to hug Murong Fu and crawl towards him.
Murong Fu habitually hugged her, put it on his lap, and said with a headache: "Reckless, where does a girl look?" In Murong Fu's heart, in addition to recovering the country, whether he would accidentally raise Wang Yuyan crookedly has become the thing he is most worried about, because every time he sees Wang Yuyan's overly active appearance, he can't help but mutter.
Wang Yuyan had long been accustomed to Murong Fu's chatter, she wrinkled her nose and made a grimace, Quan Dang never heard it, and when she looked around, she saw the Poria osmanthus cake on the table. Wang Yuyan didn't know the antecedents, but thought it was Ah Bi's handiwork, and immediately pointed to this plate of pastries and smiled: "Sister Ah Bi, my cousin never touches this." ”
At this time, Ah Zhu also walked in with a tea tray in his hand, and when he heard Wang Yuyan say this, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi were shocked at the same time. Ah Zhu was calm by nature, and still served tea to Wang Yuyan, looking at Murong Fu silently. Abi instinctively retorted: "But Gui's mother clearly said...... Madame said that this is Childe's favorite ......"
Before Abi finished speaking, Wang Yuyan shook her head categorically, and said in a brisk tone: "How is it possible? My cousin doesn't love these. He likes light flavors, such as red water chestnut, lotus seeds, lotus root or something, and dim sum only likes red water chestnut soft cake, lotus root flour and ham dumplings. He doesn't like sweetness very much, and he never touches osmanthus cake. ”
Murong Fu casually picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into Wang Yuyan's mouth, and said helplessly: "Eat your snacks, so many words!" ”
Wang Yuyan was childlike, and was fed a bite of Poria osmanthus cake by Murong Fu, and then bowed her head and munched intently. Abi only looked at Murong Fu in a daze and called softly: "Childe ......" For some reason, the circles under his eyes gradually reddened. She was born in a poor peasant family, and she has a younger brother at home, so she is naturally not the most favored as a daughter. However, even if her parents sold her in order to buy medicine for her brother, at least her mother remembered what she liked to eat, and would not show her affection for what she least liked to eat.
Murong Fu has been accustomed to this kind of thing over the years, and when he saw Ah Bi's red eyes, he reached out and gently wiped it under her eyes, and said comfortingly: "It's just a trivial matter, why do you cry?" ”
Ah Zhu had already woken up, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Murong Fu's sleeve and said seriously: "Childe, tell me and Ah Bi what you like to eat, and we will do it for you in the future!" ”
"Rose pine nut candy!" Before Murong Fu could answer, Wang Yuyan finished eating a piece of osmanthus cake and rushed to speak. "Cousin loves this! It's just that what to do, the two sisters Azhu and Abi still have to learn from their cousins. "It turns out that candy in the Song Dynasty was not very common, and the most common one was caramel candy. This kind of sugar is as hard as a stone, sweet and too greasy, and it is not pleasing to Wang Yuyan. After all, Murong Fu came from time in time, and he had eaten a lot of sweets with better quality and taste in modern times, and he was annoyed to hear Wang Yuyan complain a few times, so he "invented" pine nut candy to plug Wang Yuyan's mouth.
Murong Fu knocked on Wang Yuyan's forehead with his fingers, and said angrily: "Obviously you like it!" ”
"If I like it, I should think of making this pine nut candy. But now my cousin thought of it, so naturally my cousin likes it more! Wang Yuyan retorted eloquently.
Wang Yuyan said it so reasonably, Murong Fu was speechless. Wang Yuyan rarely came back, so naturally she would not let Murong Fu be stunned, and pulled his sleeve coquettishly: "Cousin, but this pine nut candy is so big, my teeth are loose......"
Murong Fu glanced at her dissatisfied. "You are at the age of changing your teeth, even if you don't have pine nut candy, your teeth will still be loose!" Having said that, after all, he was very fond of Wang Yuyan, and when he saw her depressed, he couldn't help but add. "My cousin will order me to go down and order someone to make the sugar smaller next time."
Wang Yuyan's face was full of joy when she boarded, and her two little arms like lotus roots waved vigorously in mid-air, forming a big circle. "It's going to take a lot, a lot! There has to be something else! I'm tired of eating pine nut candy! ”
"It's all up to you, it's all up to you!" Murong Fu gently wrapped Wang Yuyan's body, the body of a four-year-old girl, clear and childish, like snow on the branches, making people's hearts soft. "Would you like to make you zongzi candy again?" Zongzi sugar was originally able to come out in the Ming Dynasty, but now for Murong Fu, he doesn't have to worry about having too many debts, and he doesn't bite if he has more lice. The people who travel through it do not engage in "invention and creation", which is really blind to this golden finger.
Wang Yuyan smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, her two calves dangled in mid-air, and she said matter-of-factly: "My cousin is so good, what a first-class means to please women!" ”
Murong Fu almost choked, and hurriedly asked Wang Yuyan: "Where did you hear this?" ”
Wang Yuyan is still young, but she is just a parrot, and when she heard Murong Fu's question, she replied: "I heard my mother tell Yan's mother, she said cousin, you are a third-rate martial arts, a second-rate knowledge, and a first-class means to please women. She saw that Murong Fu's expression was different, and asked curiously. Cousin, isn't that a good thing? ”
Murong Fu looked at Wang Yuyan with complicated eyes for a long time, he really didn't know how to explain it to her, and finally said vaguely: "This shouldn't be said at your age......"
"What age do you have to be to say that? Is it as big as a mother? Before Murong Fu finished speaking, Wang Yuyan was already impatient to ask.
Murong Fuhan was about to come down, and he quickly glanced at Ah Zhu.
Ah Zhu is really smart and clever, although she doesn't understand what is wrong with this at her age, but as soon as she received Murong Fu's eyes, she already understood, stepped forward and took Wang Yuyan's hand and said, "Miss Cousin, my son's homework today has not been completed, if it is late, I won't be able to sleep today." Azhu is okay to accompany you to play the rope? ”
Although Wang Yuyan was deeply favored by Murong Fu, she was not arrogant, and when she heard Azhu mention her homework, she obediently slipped off Murong Fu's knees. She stood up straight in front of Murong Fu and hooked her fingers at him. Murong Fu bent down according to her meaning, only to see Wang Yuyan raise his right hand and pat his cheek while instructing in an old-fashioned manner: "Cousin, you have to work hard, and your martial arts and knowledge must be first-class!" ”
Wang Yuyan and Azhu Abi went out, but saw Mrs. Murong standing under the corridor in a daze. Azhu Abi hurriedly knelt down to give a salute, but Mrs. Murong quietly shook her hand and said in a low voice, "You come with me." As he spoke, he helped Gui's mother to take the lead in the courtyard, obviously not wanting to disturb her son.
The three girls followed out for some reason, but Mrs. Murong did not blame them for disturbing Murong Fu's efforts, but asked them two questions.
"Do you really like to eat osmanthus cake?"
"The reinstatement has to work late every day, with almost no rest?"
After these two questions were answered in the affirmative, Mrs. Murong's face suddenly became ugly, and she was silent for a long time, and Fang sighed faintly: "I don't know anything about these things. ”
On the second day, Murong Fu went to visit Mrs. Murong as usual, serving her medicine and gossiping with her. Seeing that her son looked calm and silent, Mrs. Murong finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you like the osmanthus cake sent yesterday?" ”
Murong Fu nodded casually and said indifferently: "Mother's orders are naturally excellent. ”
Mrs. Murong's heart ached, and she almost burst into tears, and she eased her breath before she said, "I see that you have lost a lot of weight recently, it must be because your homework is too heavy." Today's homework will be waived for now, and tomorrow I will go and talk to you, Brother Deng, and them. ”
Murong Fu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and after a moment of silence, he replied in a formal manner, "Thank you, mother." ”
That night, Mrs. Murong helped Gui's mother to quietly come to her son's residence. The night was dark, and before they entered the courtyard, they could already faintly see the faint candlelight coming from Murong Fu's study. Mrs. Murong didn't go any further, she just stared at the light in a daze, and suddenly quietly shed tears.
Mother Gui has been in Murong's family for many years, and she knows that Mrs. Murong is resolute and strong, and she is so frightened that she is scared to see her crying at this moment. She didn't know why Mrs. Murong was sad, so she only helped her and shouted, "Madam, Madam!" ”
Mrs. Murong shook her head slightly, and said softly, "It turns out ...... When the reinstatement is with others, he can also talk and laugh...... Gongye Qian is right, he is resolute in his reinstatement, he can give up and endure, and he will definitely be able to accomplish a great cause...... But, my son......" she was so heartbroken that she fainted.
