015 Selfishness
The white porcelain plate painted with bat patterns contains a few fruits in season, tender yellow with a touch of crimson peaches, purple and translucent plums, and a bunch of green jade-like crystal clear grapes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Aunt Zhang doesn't like cold food, these melons and fruits are not allowed in the courtyard of Longxiang Garden, but all the items sent in the kitchen are directly sent to the study of the young master in the backyard, and there is no shadow in this courtyard at all.
Brother Ying was thinking about the meaning of Qinglian giving her fruit in the house, looking at this plate in a daze, Wu'er next to him couldn't help but bite his fingers and said, "This peach called Concubine Laugh is common, but I have never eaten it, Brother Ying and Sister are so happy." ”
Brother Ying came back to his senses and asked with a smile, "Why are you so common?" Didn't my aunt like to eat these, you saw them there? ”
Wu'er grinned, "Sister don't know, my parents are in the kitchen to buy, specifically responsible for four o'clock fruits and vegetables, such peaches, even the average master is not able to eat every day, listen to my father said, this kind of peach is called the concubine smile, it is specially for the royal family and nobles to eat, our house sends people to the production area every year to buy, a season into the house is only a few dozen catties, not enough for the masters to eat, Sister Qinglian is so generous, I actually give you these." ”
Brother Ying picked one up, the skin was soft, and a sweet aroma came slowly, and a touch of crimson on the skin was really a bit like the rouge on the lips of a beautiful woman, and it was as tender as dripping water, "Concubine smile?" It's kind of interesting. ”
"Sister, try it, see if it's sweet?" Wu'er stared at it with a blank eye, as if he could taste it after a few more glances.
Brother Ying looked at her gluttony and couldn't help but smile, "Come, gluttonous cat, let's eat this for you, you can taste it too." ”
Wu'er's eyes widened, "Really, sister, do you really give it to me, then, I'll just take a bite, just a small bite." "Wu'er is only eleven years old this year, she is still a child, and a sweet peach is the happiest thing in the world for her.
"Eat the whole peach for you, after eating the peach, help me do some work in a while, even if you thank me." Brother Ying looked at her and laughed, but it was just a peach.
Hearing this, Wu'er slowly put down the peaches that were sent to his mouth, "Sister, you are tired of work, I will help you do it, but if it is something that makes the master unhappy, I don't dare, my family has a large population, so I was finally sent to the backyard to be on an errand, if I was kicked out by the master, my father would beat me to death." ”
This is such a young child, and there are so many eyes in his heart, which shows that this garden is really a place to hone people. Brother Ying had no choice but to comfort her, "It's not a big deal, after lunch for a while, you help me wrap these fruits in a handkerchief and send them to the laundry room for my sister Xiaoque to taste, I just came, I don't dare to run around, and I have to look at the tea in each room, please help me run an errand." The grapes were left behind, and when they came back in the evening, we would eat them together. ”
"Brother and Sister Ying, you are so good, it would be nice if I had a sister like you, but it's a pity that I have four brothers above me." I heard that it was just an errand business, Wu'er took a bite of the peach with confidence, and the juice flowed down the corner of her mouth, "It's so sweet~Sister, you eat it quickly~"
Brother Ying picked up a plum, took a bite, and nodded secretly, "Fruits that have not been fertilized are just different, and they are really delicious." ”
Here, Brother Ying and Wu'er are eating fruit, Xiangyun and Xiangyue served Aunt Zhang for lunch, Aunt Zhang went to the small Buddha hall to recite the scriptures, and the two of them came out quietly and returned to their own room, and the fruits on two large white porcelain plates were also placed on the table.
Xiangyue came over to take a look, "Yo, it's just a few fruits, and I took out the corresponding guy's things to match it, Luyupu is so particular." ”
Xiangyun glanced at her, "I really didn't know, didn't I see that it was a concubine smile, such a precious fruit, of course, it can't be put on an ordinary plate, as the saying goes, a good horse has a good saddle, so that it can show its identity." ”
Xiangyue sat down with a grin, picked up a peach and nibbled on it, "I call her concubine smile, I'm just curious, the people of their green jade pool are all swimming fish in the water, when did our Longxiangyuan enter the eyes of Qinglian, and actually sent us fruits." ”
Xiangyun played with a grape and said thoughtfully: "If you want me to see, we are just by the way, the person Qinglian really wants to send is Brother Ying's girl, but she just sent her, for fear of annoying us, so bring us with you." It's just that you just said, in the zodiac, when does there be an extra fish, I haven't heard of who is a fish. ”
"You haven't seen fish eyes all facing the sky, isn't it like their people in Luyupu, except for the eldest lady and the general, who else do they look at?"
Xiangyun just put the grapes in his mouth, and after listening to Xiangyue's words, he laughed and almost squirted out the grape juice, "Say that you are confused, you are more clever than anyone else to scold people, say that you are shrewd, in the end, your mouth is too fast, and you can't hold back your words." After thinking about it, he said, "Brother Ying's girl, looking like a ghost, those big eyes, gurgling around, I don't know what I'm thinking, I see that I am flustered, I heard that she is stealing things and jumping into the well, thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable, I have to look at her in the future." ”
Xiangyue gnawed her head and shook her head, eating while talking, and got juice all over her body, "I heard the little girls say that when she jumped into the well, she touched her head and lay in the firewood room for several days before she woke up, and after waking up, she didn't even know her own sister anymore, and became a fool." When I talked to her today, I asked and answered, lowered my eyebrows and pleasing my eyes, and didn't say a word more, but it wasn't like you said. ”
Xiangyun chewed sweet grapes in his mouth, but when he swallowed it, it was a general bitter taste in his heart, "It would be nice if it was like what you said, our master has a bodhisattva-like heart, but in the past few years, I have not been rubbed by them less, I just hope that Young Master Yuan can become an adult as soon as possible, and our aunt and grandmother will not suffer in vain in this life - this brother Ying, don't cause trouble for the master." ”
Xiangyue couldn't help but sigh, "At the beginning, when I asked our sisters to serve her, I was still unwilling, thinking that I would serve an unwieldy aunt, and I would have to look at people's faces in the future, a few people in the house together, Hongying's girl changed her name to Qingyue, and she thought that she was also the person brought by the young grandmother, her eyes were facing the sky, Yun'er and Yue'er arrived at An Rongtang, and they were also separated from us, and Yu'er, she followed the second miss, and she will definitely be blessed in the future, leaving our sisters, My aunt and grandmother are more thoughtful to us than my own parents, and I don't have any other heart now, I just hope that my master will be good in the future, and it would be good if Young Master Yuan could honor her well. ”
"Isn't it, my heart is the same as yours." Xiangyun got up and washed his hands, "After a while, fold these two plates, you take Brother Ying, go to Luyupu to say thank you, I will send this fruit to Ruyan and Ruyu, those two little hooves know that we eat alone, and we have to go back and talk endlessly?" Leave some for Fengxi and Chunxiao, what are Chunxiao doing today? ”
Xiangyue also got up, "It was said that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the eldest lady asked her aunt and grandmother to embroider a screen for someone to use, and Chunxiao went to the upper room to discuss the size with Qiu Wen and them." ”
"Alas~ turn back to Fengxi and say, let her give the work in her hand to others first, let her concentrate on serving her aunt and grandmother, and her dexterity can learn six or seven points of the master's craft."
"I also said, Longxiangyuan is really indispensable to her, otherwise, the two of us are clumsy, and we can't share the worries of our master."
The two of them washed their hands, Xiangyun carried the fruit to the study in the backyard of Longxiangyuan, and Xiangyue took the plate and came to find Brother Ying. When I went to Brother Ying's room, I saw that Brother Ying had already packed up the dishes and was waiting for her.
"Yo, looking at you like this, you seem to know I'm coming?"
Brother Ying neatly dressed, "This plate, at first glance, is not an ordinary object, I think for a while I will definitely send it back to others, just now my sister didn't say that there is an errand to send something, ask me to send it, good sister, let me go on this errand." ”
Xiangyue smiled, "You are thoughtful, I was about to go to Luyupu to say thank you, so you should come along." As he spoke, he handed the two plates in his hand to Brother Ying, "Take it, we can't afford to pay for it." ”
Brother Ying bent his eyes and smiled, "I know." ”
