Xiang rubbed his head acupoint, and could only leave the medicinal wine in the house according to his words.
When she finished grooming and eating breakfast, the eldest sister Li Ruohui also came to visit her sister.
A little maid came with her, and a wet nurse, holding her three-year-old son Shun'er in her arms, the little guy's soft hair was tied with a red rope and a silver collar around her neck.
Su Xiu took the initiative and set up a table in the Tinglan Pavilion in the garden, set up a game, and entertained the guests. Built on top of a small lake in the garden, the Pavilion is built by the water, and when the windows are opened, it is very cool.
Xiang ordered someone to spread a vanilla mat on the red teak floor, and then placed Shun'er on top of the straw mat and let him crawl around. The two sisters chatted while eating fruit, which was very pleasant.
Ruoyu asked about the recent situation of her mother and younger brother at home, and Li Ruohui saw that her sister was now clearer, but she was willing to talk to her about something serious. Mother also knew that she couldn't support it, and most of the Li family's business had changed hands, but it was good to ask for one to keep it, so as not to accidentally lose the Li family's family background for a while, and in the future, Xian'er would be left with an empty shelf, and she would not be able to see the ancestors of the Li family.
As for that Shen Rubai, Li Ruohui was very angry when she mentioned her, and the Shen family didn't know which evil god they worshipped, but after Li Xuan'er lost her face, she was still able to rise to prominence, and now she has entered the ministry as an official and has become the protΓ©gΓ© of Uncle Bai.
Li Xuan'er is said to be very disliked by Shen Rubai, and did not enter Beijing with him, but stayed in the Shen Mansion in Liaocheng, and I don't know if it was a moment of flashing feet or something, it is said that he fell while walking in the back garden, and he was also an inch, and he hit his stomach somehow, and as a result, his lower body was red, and the fetus in his womb could not be saved.
Now listening to the servants in Nafu, her mother-in-law Shen Qiaoshi does not like Li Xuan'er, and intends to demote her to a concubine, so that she can find a noble wife for her son.
At this time, Li Ruohui sighed and stopped talking.
In the final analysis, although it was not born to a mother, after all, it is also his sister, who grew up playing with each other since childhood, who knew that he was making trouble for a man to be like this.
Since she became ill, she didn't have a deep impression of Li Xuan'er. As for Shen Rubai, because she had imprisoned her, she was extremely disgusted, and she was not interested in hearing it in the end. He lay on the vanilla mat, teasing Shun'er, and giggling face to face.
Ruohui looked at her sister's appearance, and her heart was a little more stable, but she forgot that she could be as carefree as a child, so Ruo Yu was blessed.
When it was noon, someone came to report that Master Sima had returned to his house for dinner.
It turned out that because he couldn't accompany Ruoyu to dinner yesterday, she actually provoked her to guard the door for most of the night, so he was busy and hurried back to the house to accompany Ruoyu to dine.
When Ruoyu heard that Brother Chu was back, he got up excitedly, cut his hair, leaned on the window and took a picture of the lake, and then turned his head and asked Ruohui: "Sister, look at my makeup, but it's spent?" β
Ruohui looked at her sister's delicate appearance and said with a smile: "It's beautiful!" β
Ruo foolishly listened, then lifted his skirt and ran happily all the way to the front hall, without the slightest steadiness of the princess.
Ruohui naturally wanted to visit Master Sima. He led the maid and walked forward quickly, but in the end he was still left behind by Ruoyu.
Running all the way to the front hall, Ruoyu saw Chu Jinfeng sitting in the front hall while untiring his hair crown, taking off his riding boots and changing into soft shoes with hemp soles and silk surfaces sent by the little girl.
Just changed his shoes, before he could take a sip of tea, and before the maid on the side had time to fan a few times, Chu Jinfeng raised his eyes and caught the fragrant little man who rushed into his arms.
"Brother Chu!" Ruoyu jumped onto Chu Jinfeng's body, stopped his neck, and immediately learned the new skills learned with his little nephew Shun'er, rubbing his face with him happily, and puffing out his cheeks to kiss him!
Such a coquettish and coquettish girl, who in the world can resist it? If there is no outsider by your side, you must take good care of this little flower.
Chu Jinfeng glanced at Li Ruohui, who had just come out of the garden, and only patted Ruoyu's back and said: "My sister is here, and she is so nonsense and undecency, come down quickly and speak well!" β
Full of accumulated enthusiasm, but did not get the same surging response, Li Ruoyu was really disappointed. I only feel that the guess in my heart is really true, and Brother Chu really doesn't like to kiss her and touch her like before!
Ruohui went out of the corner gate, and looked at her sister and Chu Sima so coquettishly, and she was secretly shocked in her heart.
Ruoyu has been precocious since he was a child, because he was naughty, and was severely restrained by his father, it is said that when he was in trouble, he led his partners to somehow mixed into the barracks stationed outside Liaocheng, and almost lit the cannon that had just been poured, and broke into a monstrous disaster, so he was carried into the ancestral hall of the Li family by his father, and beat the hand board with a training board, and punished him for a day and a night.
Even Ruohui's memory, her sister's delicate appearance when she was naughty has almost been forgotten.
But now the naughty one in front of the silver-haired demon evokes the few remaining childhood memories of Ruohui. She didn't know much about Chu Jinfeng, and the only in-depth detailed conversation was when she was intimidated by Ruo Yucheng's soft and hard before she got married.
For such a brother-in-law, it is really difficult to reach out to each other. Especially looking at his sister being able to snuggle up to him as if no one was around, it was like pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth and eating from the lion's mouth.
"Since the eldest sister is here, I happened to dine together, and today I hunted a wild boar in the suburbs, just to give my sister a taste of the umami of the north!" Chu Jinfeng said with Ruohui.
The vegetables and vegetables needed in the house on weekdays are sent by familiar vegetable vendors, although the checkpoints leading to the north are now blocked, but the precious food supplied to Sima Mansion is another way out, there is no shortage of half a point, plus the newly hunted wild boar, this lunch is extremely rich.
Master Sima is a northerner who likes rich, salty dishes; The Li sisters are southerners and eat more light and sweet and sour dishes.
The first dish is stewed sea cucumber with shark fin and jade, which is placed in a papaya cup, a specialty of Siam, which smells fragrant and whets people's appetites.
The second course is a gathering of visitors from the south. There is a wild goose named Baitou in the northern Juluo Mountain, the taste is very delicious, it is the top grade in the meat, but it is difficult to catch. Every year in October, the white-headed goose has to cross the courtyard for more than 6,000 miles and fly to the south to spend the winter. The words say: The south and the north β‘β‘ the guests, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. Is the delicacy of this goose meat comparable to that of the broiler chicken in the courtyard?
As for the wild boar, there was no fine processing, but the back elbow was taken and beaten with a rolling pin, and then it was marinated and flavored, roasted and cooked thoroughly, wrapped in fresh lotus leaves, and served in a copper basin.
Although Li Ruohui was born in a wealthy businessman's family, the Li family has never been very concerned about the luxury of food and clothing, and after marrying the Liu family, because Liu Zhong's money is limited, he can't let go of his hands and feet on weekdays like when he was a girl, so he hasn't eaten such exquisite food for a long time.
Sitting at the lacquered table of the Eight Immortals, looking at the hand of Chu Jinfeng without pretending to be others, he used a small silver blade to bake the pork and first served it to Ruohui as a guest, and then took a few thin slices and put them into Ruoyu's bowl, telling her to eat slowly, don't be hot, where is there still half a point of the evil charm and treachery when she was forced to marry?
If he said that he was gentle and considerate in front of his mother and himself before marriage, it was faked. Now that I have been married for more than half a year, if I only want to be beautiful, I would have been impatient with Ruoyu's childlike stubbornness. But now looking at the relationship between Chu Sima and his sister, it is very harmonious.
You must know that Liu Zhong has just arrived in Mohe City, and the next day he got up early in the morning and rushed to the military camp to report on his duties, and heard that the soldiers in the city were going to assist the people in planting corn and digging canals.
Just now she saw that the riding boots that Sima had changed in the front hall were covered with mud, and it could be seen that he had just returned from a field inspection and had returned in a hurry, just to accompany his sister for lunch......
Thinking about it like this, she hasn't had a home-cooked meal with her husband Liu Zhonghe for a long time. After moving here, Liu Zhong's three meals a day were eaten in the courtyard of the concubine's red room......
Ruo Yu didn't know his sister's sorrow, and after eating a few bites, he suddenly remembered the tonic wine he brought in the morning, and hurriedly turned around and asked Xiangxiang to fill a wine jug.
Then poured Chu Jinfeng with great hospitality: "Brother, you drink more of this." β
Chu Jinfeng was originally surprised how she suddenly thought of giving herself a glass of wine, and after the wine in the jug was poured out, that special taste was really unforgettable once drunk......
Looking at the golden liquor, Chu Jinfeng frowned slightly, and said in his heart: How did you find this jar for no reason? But this is the intention of the mother-in-law, naturally she can't roll up the good intentions in front of her sister, but she just said gently: "I will go to the government office again in a while, if I drink full of alcohol, it will not be good, keep this pot of wine and drink it later." β
Ruoyu stubbornly raised his glass and said: "Xiangxiang said, this is not wine, it is a good thing to replenish the body, and men always have a time when the horse is high and short, and only by drinking this tonic wine can he make up for his shortcomings and reach the stirrups!" β
At this time, Xiang Xiang was preparing melons and fruits after dinner in the outer hall, and naturally heard the words of the little lady through the screen, at that moment, Xiang Xiang really knocked her head on the case weakly, and only felt that tears were already full of tears: "Second Miss!" You were born to restrain us people, didn't you?
Lord Sima's shortness, in fact, allows people to talk? β
Ruo Hui didn't react at first, but when she saw Lord Sima's expression become inexplicably weird, coupled with the smell of the wine, she immediately realized that this was her mother's handiwork. My sister is so open-mouthed, it really makes her so embarrassed that she doesn't know where to look. I can only blindly bury my head in eating the cold food in front of me, just as if I didn't hear it.
Sima didn't say anything, but slowly drank the cup of mother-in-law's mind with Ruoyu's little hand. 166 Reading Network
