Chapter 66: Seeking Skin with the Tiger (6)
Seeking Skin with the Tiger (6)
Yenna, who had never seen his anger, threw a blank look at her husband, sighed softly, got up and poured a cup of hot tea, and took away the wine utensils in front of her, and went to the fire to fetch a night of hot feta cheese.
Mu Qing lowered his head and drank tea silently, secretly thinking that Senior Brother Yu had a comfortable and stable temperament, and that such a kind and gentle woman was the creation of the two of them. Xu will have their children soon, and the family guards a quiet and ordinary day is better than a qiē.
Since he has never heard of the world, there is no need to involve him in this strife, and it is better not to teach him what is going on, lest he cause trouble in the future.
Thinking of this, she put down the teacup and whispered: "He is in Liaodong with the army at the moment, and I don't know if he is safe or not." Those soldiers outside the city, borrowed from General Li of Guzang City, this one in front of the city gate today was originally intended for her to see, but she made people know that you came to greet her, but it didn't matter, someone will definitely pay attention to her, because there are many eyes and ears at the city gate, it is inconvenient for the brother to answer in detail. When I hand over the letter tomorrow, I should go to the school governor's mansion to meet and discuss with her on important matters. ”
Yu Li became more and more confused when he listened, and was about to ask again, but she didn't give him a chance to ask again. "It's not that Qi Niang can't trust my brother, it's really a matter of importance, if you don't know less, if you don't know less, if you don't know, you can keep your brother and sister-in-law safe."
He froze all the expressions on his face and froze at her for a long time. He was even wondering if the secretive woman in front of him was the little Qi Niang who relied on him to be naughty, to glue his teeth, and to go out to hang out when he was a child. can sense that she must have come this time to have a dangerous event, which shows that she is so calm and calm, without the slightest panic.
I don't know what she has done with Du Ruhui in the past few years, he only knows that no matter how much she relied on and pestered him in the past, and now in her situation, he can't intervene anymore, and the only thing she can do is to make her treat this place as her mother's home, and she can express her feelings with peace of mind.
He took a deep breath. His hands rubbed his face a few times, brushed away his previous love, and opened a smile again. "Brother doesn't ask. Now you are also going to be a mother, you should be more careful, don't ride a horse again, tomorrow my brother will go to a good doctor, take a good look, what you want to eat, even if you tell your sister-in-law, you have to eat some supplements. ”
Mu Qing nodded vigorously and took the bowl of goat cheese. I lowered my head and drank slowly, one sip at a time, and I hated to bury my whole face in the bowl. A bag of hot tears swirled in his eyes, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and he ticked off a tear in the feta cheese, splashing a small milky white splash. When she raised her head again, she had already hidden her tears and returned to a shallow smile.
A homely meal made everyone turn back to their bowels, Mu Qing didn't have much appetite, and poked a few chopsticks at random. I couldn't eat any more. But she likes to be with them, the warm stove is dancing, and she sits and chats casually, she says Yinghua. said Ada and Ah Liu, and said the lotus flower in the pond in the house of the Eastern Capital. Yu Li said that the acquaintance with Ye Na, the scenery of the northwest. The two deliberately avoided mentioning some things, and only gossiped about common things.
She is very family-oriented. In Luoyang City, Du Ruhui gave her a home, and she was like a pearl and regarded herself as a mussel mother. Treasure the pearl in your flesh and blood. Now that there is her mother's family in Jincheng County, there is another pearl that needs to be carefully wrapped in her soft and tough flesh.
Looking out of the pane, it was the middle of the moon, and it was almost sunset. There was a soft knock on the door, and Ah Liu came in from outside the door, shivering with cold, and said slightly: "It's all this time, why don't you go back to sleep." ”
Yu Li said with a smile, "I haven't seen each other for these years, and Ah Liu is becoming more and more like a mother." ”
After leaving Ah Liu to laugh a few words, Mu Qing reluctantly got up, said goodbye to his brother and sister-in-law, and followed Ah Liu back to the house to rest. On the way back to the house, she suddenly remembered that Yu Li had just wondered if she had seen He Suizhao in Yuhang, and when she first saw him at the city gate, Yu Li was already suspicious, and there must be a reason for it.
Before going to bed, this question was still swirling in her heart, and she couldn't help but ask Ah Liu thoughtlessly, "Before going to the Eastern Capital, did you see He Suizhao?" Do you think he has a good face? Ah Liu lowered her head and thought for a while, shook her head suspiciously, and tilted her head to think about it. Sleepiness in the middle of the night is not a big deal, and there is a soft couch and a warm jacket, which can't withstand the drowsiness that comes from a wave, and the two of them can't say a word, so they both fall asleep.
The next morning, Mu Qingcai opened his eyes, and felt a burst of nausea, his chest was swollen, and he retched for a long time, because there was nothing in his abdomen, and there was nothing to vomit. Aliu patted her back worriedly, only repeating "how to be good, how to be good". Fortunately, after a while, he gradually calmed down, and he was able to freshen up and go out of the room.
Ye Na was leading the two servants to deliver breakfast to the front room, and when she saw Mu Qing walking out of the house with a pale face, she hurriedly pulled her to the backyard, and in the ear room next to the back kitchen, another meal had been prepared for her. "Don't go ahead, if the smell of food collides and makes you nauseous, the men in that room will get up, it's hard to say, let's just eat here."
"Sister-in-law has a heart." Mu Qing humbly saluted and thanked Ye Na.
Ye Na waved his hand and laughed, a pair of good-looking pear vortices on his lips, "Qi Niang is a person who knows etiquette, but I don't know much about those etiquette, even if I receive etiquette, I don't know how to accept it, my own family, don't be so significant in the future." ”
Since she said this, Mu Qing was no longer formal, and together with Ah Liu, the three of them sat down at the table together, "These are all Jiangnan's practices, I haven't seen them for a long time." Ah Liu saw the delicate pots and dishes on the table, and was so surprised that he was reluctant to put down the chopsticks. Sauce tofu, parsley with fine tendons removed, pickled sour radish root, fragrant mushroom rice porridge, and small and delicate meat stuffed jade tip noodles.
"Why don't you see Brother?" She looked around, but she didn't see him.
"Let's eat ours, we don't have to keep food for him, he went out to ask for a doctor after eating in the morning." Ye Na said, brought another bowl of sheep cheese, raised it directly to the tip of Mu Qing's nose, watched her drink it, and then said with a smile: "This is the best, in the past, when my mother was pregnant with a little doll, she drank sheep cheese every day, and sure enough, she gave birth to a white and fat brother." ”
Mu Qing couldn't help blushing when she said this, she hadn't seen Jiangnan food for a long time, and this table taught her to move her index finger, and she didn't realize that she had eaten a lot. In the end, there was a big matter hanging in his heart, put down the dishes and chopsticks, twisted the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his lips lightly, and hurried forward to talk to He Suizhao.
For her, the big war is imminent, and now she has to get out of her family affection and think about it carefully. He Suizhao had prepared three copies of the prayer note and handed it to her. Two copies of him and Gao Dutong will be sent directly to Xue Ju, the captain of Jincheng, and the other copy with Mu Qing's name written will be sent to the back house of Xue Mansion and handed over to Gu Erniang.
She pinched the three prayer notes, thought about it again, and asked, "Was it meant to be sent together?" ”
He Suizhao nodded, not knowing what she meant. "Let's put down these two copies for the time being, first deliver my share to Erniang, and then I will go to see her when I go to the house, and then make a plan." She picked out her share of the prayer post, and wrote in the spare space: Bamboo pole to catch Yu Qi. Don't you think about it, it's far away. The fountain is on the left, and the water is on the right. The woman has a line, far from the brothers and parents.
She secretly made a bet, Gu Erniang's marriage in the past three years is bound to be difficult, it is inevitable to miss her homeland relatives, if she knows it, this line of poetry is enough to evoke her old feelings, and success may become simpler. (To be continued......)
ps: allow the author to be verbose, the table that appears in the back kitchen is a square table similar to the current table, and the table rarely appears in the previous text, but a few cases, high cases and other furniture, because when it is a high-shaped furniture like a table, it is a furniture that belongs to the Hu people, and it has not yet been popular in the Central Plains.
The root of radish is radish, and I don't know what kind of radish it is.
Wild rice is actually the seed of the white cocoon, like a grain of rice, but slender black brown, relatively rare, only in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, the north and northwest are very rare, from the ancient poems that circulated, the taste of rice or porridge cooked by this wild rice is more fragrant and smooth than rice.
Yujian noodles are made of fine buns. Like xiaolongbao? I'm guessing
