Chapter 41: Dark Tide

Knowing that Li Yunniang was not used to waiting on the side, Shen Qinglian sent them all out in order not to let her be restrained, so she stood up and served her mother a bowl of ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup, and said with a smile, "Mother, you taste this soup, it's delicious." Li Yunniang smelled the taste of this soup, and it was really fragrant, she tasted it with a smile, and praised it again and again, "It's really delicious, I don't know how this chef cooks it, and the people in our cat alley still say that I cook delicious food, which is far worse than this." ”

Shen Qinglian said with a smile, "Mother, you cook delicious food, and besides, these cooks specialize in learning this, mother, you have never learned it, and it is so delicious, which shows that your mother is smart and talented!" "If you can cook two passable dishes, you can also talk about talent, you kid, pick the ones that sound good and make your mother happy." Li Yunniang heard Shen Qinglian praise her, and said with some embarrassment on her face.

Shen Qinglian saw that her mother liked it, and drank most of the bowl of soup, she was happier than eating it herself, and kept coercing her mother with chopsticks, Li Yunniang saw that the dishes in the bowl were about to rise, and hurriedly stopped, "Lianniang, you can eat by yourself, you don't have to coerce your mother anymore, where can you finish eating these many mothers." ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept the table full of dishes full of color and aroma, and he said a little blamefully, "Lianniang, my mother is not an outsider, what are you doing with so many dishes, just the two of us can eat them, how can we finish eating, isn't it a waste?" You should ask the kitchen to cook a few fewer dishes. ”

Shen Qinglian listened, smiled, and patiently explained to her mother, "Mother, there are rules for food, clothing, housing and transportation in this house, even if you don't come, it's just a few dishes less, we can't finish every meal and taste it for the maids outside, so you eat more, don't waste it, the chefs in this house are better than the restaurants outside, the first time I ate it, I thought about so many delicious dishes, it would be good if my mother could taste it." But I don't want to, my mother can come to the house to accompany me, just right, these days we will taste these delicacies. ”

Li Yunniang listened secretly, she entered the house today, it was really an eye-opener, not to mention the exquisite residence, such a good dish on the table was actually eaten by the maids, no wonder people said that the maids of large families are better than them poor and small families.

Seeing that Lianniang is so filial, she doesn't forget her mother for anything, her heart is as sweet as honey, her beautiful face is full of happy smiles, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are full of joy, and she said angrily, "You child, mother, seeing that you are doing well, it is better than eating anything." It's just that my mother is incompetent, and you have suffered with your mother all these years! Recalling the past, Li Yunniang became a little sad again

Shen Qinglian looked at her mother and said that she was crooked again, and hurriedly interrupted, "Mother, what are the things that have passed, what are you doing with it, my daughter has a good mother like you, I don't know how satisfied and happy I am!" Mother, you eat this Zhaojun duck is fragrant, and this Buddha jumps over the wall, this fish ball is also delicious, mother, let me tell you, these dishes must be eaten while they are hot, otherwise the taste will not be good when it is cold. ”

Shen Qinglian blindly persuaded her mother to eat vegetables, Li Yunniang looked at the table full of dishes and it was not easy to waste, but both of them ate with round stomachs, Shen Qinglian touched her stomach with satisfaction, and said to her mother, "Mother, Lian Niang will take you to walk around the house!" It just so happened that I was a little overwhelmed, so I ate and ate less. ”

Li Yunniang glanced at her amusedly, and asked with concern, "It's okay!" Silly boy, no matter how delicious it is, you can't hold it up! As he spoke, he also smiled and said, "My mother patronized you, and my mother has eaten a lot today, and she is a little overfed." Shen Qinglian immediately smiled and said, "Mother, you know now, when it comes to food, your mouth is a little uncontrollable." Saying that, he stuck out his tongue mischievously, no.

Li Yunniang nodded her forehead with a doting face, Shen Qinglian held her mother's arm, her head was coquettishly snuggled on her mother's shoulder, Xi'er looked at it with a smile on her face, but it was rare to see her aunt's childlike attitude, and she forgot that she was still a little girl who was not in time, and she was by her mother's side.

Xi'er went to the house and took out two fox furs, a fox fur with rose red inlaid white fox fur and put it on Shen Qinglian, and said while tying it, "Auntie, it's still a little chilly outside this day, put on the fox fur, it's hot, and it's convenient to take it off." Turning his head, he asked Qing'er to put another light blue one on Li Yunniang.

Li Yunniang waved her hand to refuse, but Shen Qinglian persuaded on the side, "Mother, you also wear it, don't catch a cold." Speaking of which, Xi'er is still careful, and her daughter didn't expect it! Li Yunniang didn't insist. On the side, Xi'er said, "These are all things that slaves and maids should do." Thinking that Shen Qinglian often praised her, she was afraid that Qing'er would not be happy, so she smiled and said, "The slave maid is also more careful, and she is not as stable as Qing'er." Qing'er didn't care too much about this, she also knew that she had a lot to learn from Xi'er, and Xi'er also took care of her on weekdays, so she replied with a smile, "Sister Xi'er is humble, I'm still trying to learn from my sister!" As he spoke, he helped Li Yunniang tie it up.

Shen Qinglian and Li Yunniang dressed properly, they walked out affectionately holding hands, Shen Qinglian lived in the green lotus garden, the beautiful name is said to have a big lotus pond, if it is naturally beautiful in summer, there is no lotus in this season, but there are a lot of ornamental fish in the pond, raise fat, you throw a handful of fish food, come in groups to compete, it is also quite interesting, the garden also planted a lot of flowers and plants, walk along the corridor, there are a few magnolia flowers planted on the left are blooming, look at it from afar, such as snowflakes sipping full of branches, a few cherry blossoms on the right are also blooming, Clusters of pink and white flowers come together, like a crimson cloud, and then go forward, a cluster of moon and spoon medicine in the emerald green branches and leaves, but also exposed pink and red buds of various colors, it is really purple and red, beautiful

Shen Qinglian pulled her mother to enjoy and laugh, and the smile on her lips was like a flower, overpowering all the delicate flowers in the garden. Mei Fengming looked through the round arch, looking at the beauty of the flowers and willows slowly, as if she was frozen, staring at it stunned, almost suspecting that it was a fairy who fell into the dust, until the little girl behind him came with Qingyun panting, pulled him and said, "Cousin, now Aunt Lian lives in the Green Lotus Garden, you can't go in." ”

Mei Fengming reluctantly looked at the stunning beauty in the distance, was dragged out by the little girl, and asked unwillingly, "Who is really my cousin Xinna's aunt?" "It was taken by the master a few days ago." Qingyun replied with a smile. Secretly pouting, this cousin young master is really not like talking, how can he run around in people's backyards, seeing that the ladies in people's backyards do not avoid it, and chase and inquire.

Mei Fengming couldn't help but look back and look at it again, with regret on his face, how could such a beautiful person be his cousin's person! Zhao Yali turned out from behind a rockery, looked at Mei Fengming's back, and showed a weird smile on her face for a while. Caiqing couldn't help but shudder when she saw it, I don't know what Aunt Li's idea is?

Zhao Yali glanced at her, Caiqing's head hung lower, with a look of fear, Zhao Yali nodded with satisfaction, afraid that she was right, she squinted, looking at the three words written on the arch of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing in the Bihe Garden, the original owner wanted to live in this garden, and she couldn't say it, but she also had to fulfill her wish.

She looked at it for a long time, then opened a gorgeous smile and said, "I heard that Aunt Lian's mother is here, and I should go and see Aunt Lian like sisters." With that, he strode towards the green lotus garden, and with the wind, the rosy fox fur drew a graceful arc.

Shen Qinglian took her mother to enjoy the flowers, walked for a while, both of them were a little tired, so they went into the pavilion to rest, Xi'er and Qing'er put a thick cushion on the stone bench for them, and put a few plates of snacks and a pot of tea with them, Li Yunniang was a little embarrassed and said, "I said what Qing'er and Xi'er are carrying in their hands!" I was bringing snacks and tea, which is so troublesome and tired of you both! ”

"This is what the slaves and maids should do, and when you say this, madam, you will kill the slaves and maids." Xi'er and Qing'er hurriedly replied respectfully. Shen Qinglian looked at her mother with a smile and said, "Mother, it's good for you to get used to it slowly, come and drink some tea, I'm thirsty after walking for half a day, let's go back and take a nap." ”

Li Yunniang couldn't help but sigh, "It's like a fairy-like day, you see, even if you eat, drink and have fun, you don't have to work, but I'm afraid that when I go home, I will raise my mother to be lazy." Li Yunniang joked with a smile.

"My sister's life is so leisurely! Don't call my sister together. A soft voice thrust in. Shen Qinglian turned around and saw Aunt Li standing brightly under the pavilion, looking at her with a smile on her face.

How did she get here? Shen Qinglian secretly slandered in her heart, she was really an uninvited guest, but she quickly smiled on her face, and greeted her with a smile and said, "Ah, it's Sister Li who is here, why don't you notify me, so that my sister can go to the door to meet you!" ”

"It turned out to be my sister's abruptness, I heard from the house, my sister's mother came, so I came to visit in a hurry, my sister don't bother my sister." Zhao Yali smiled and took a few steps forward to hold her hand affectionately.

Shen Qinglian quietly withdrew her hand, turned around with a smile and said, "How come, it's my sister who is rude, I was thinking of inviting my sisters to this garden tomorrow to have a lively time, but I didn't expect my sister to be anxious to see my sister." Shen Qinglian said and covered her mouth and snickered. Zhao Yali was angry and annoyed, obviously saying sarcastic words, but with a joking expression, it was so choked that people couldn't choke.

I had to smile, and in a moment, I stepped forward to meet Li Yunniang, who seemed a little restrained because of her arrival, "Hello madam, I am Sister Lian's fifth sister." Li Yunniang encountered such a situation for the first time, and stepped forward at a loss and said, "Girl, don't be polite, get up quickly!" ”

Zhao Yali took the opportunity to step forward and help Li Yunniang and said, "Madam, you don't have to see me, Sister Lian and I are the closest sisters in this house, you are her mother, just like my mother, like my poor mother has passed away since I was a child, and you feel extremely close when you see your wife."

For a while, in the pavilion, I could only hear Aunt Li's voice in the lotus tongue, and only coaxed Li Yunniang to tears of sympathy for her pitiful life experience, held her hand and said, "Good boy, you will be like Lianniang in the future, and the eldest mother will treat you as a daughter" Shen Qinglian rolled her eyes when she heard this, hurriedly squeezed Zhao Yali away, helped Li Yunniang up and said, "Mother, you must be tired after visiting the garden for half a day, I asked Qing'er to help you go back and lie down and rest first, Lianniang and Sister Li said a few words, and then came." ”

Li Yunniang was indeed a little tired, she sat in the carriage for a few hours in the morning, and walked around the garden for a long time, if she wasn't happy in her heart and in good spirits, she would have been unable to support it a long time ago, so she was obediently supported by Qing'er and went back.

Shen Qinglian looked coldly at Zhao Yali still waving a handkerchief with Li Yunniang in a cozy manner, and Qing Lingling's voice said straight to the point, "Aunt Li, what are your intentions to please my mother like this, you might as well say it to Lianniang, Hugh has to play tricks in front of my mother." Shen Qinglian was already disgusted by the title of these sisters and sisters, especially Aunt Li's coy attitude, and it was impossible to get along anyway, so it was better to tear her face and save her from hitting her mother with her own head.

Zhao Yali looked at her with a shocked face, how could this person turn his face faster than turning a book, he was still here just now and greeted himself in every way, and he said such a thing in a blink of an eye, it was really unexpected, but there was some joy in her heart, in the end, she was a little girl who didn't have a city mansion, she couldn't hold her breath in a few words, and it was not difficult to implement her own plan to deal with her.

With a shocked and aggrieved expression on his face, Chu Chu looked at Shen Qinglian pitifully and asked, "Sister Lian, but if my sister makes my sister unhappy, you can forgive my sister a lot."

Shen Qinglian didn't care what Aunt Li's idea was at this time, but she didn't want to be with this person anymore, so she had a cold face and spoke mercilessly, "Aunt Li, you don't want to be affectionate with your sister and sister, maybe you hate me and curse me in your heart?" ”

"Sister, you have wronged your sister, my sister is sincerely befriending my sister, but I am afraid that my sister is now relying on the favor of the Hou Ye, so I will not take the sisters in the house in my eyes." Zhao Yali saw that Shen Qinglian was determined to be evil to herself, and she was not sincere in her heart, but when she saw this, she was angry, so she also spoke with needles and needles.

Shen Qinglian glanced at her, and said in her heart, this is not a fox tail exposed, it is really not a good match, she hides needles when she speaks, and she doesn't put the sisters in the house in her eyes, this is to make the aunts in the house hate herself.

She looked at Aunt Li with fixed eyes, suddenly smiled brightly, and said delicately, "Speaking of not putting the sisters in the house in your eyes, I'm afraid it's Aunt Li herself!" No one in this house knows who is wrong, when Aunt Li is favored, that arrogant look, I heard that other aunts have to take a detour when they see you, you say, arrogant like this, who can compare! ”

"You" Zhao Yali was speechless by her words, and scolded the original owner in her heart, a brainless thing, no wonder she was killed by someone, what kind of arrogance she became, even if she was not killed by her own maid, she would be calculated to death by others sooner or later.
