Chapter 459: Bold
Or because of the small family history, the hearty and sociable Li Di has reached his age and began to think about being a host. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ask Mrs. Li for help.
Mrs. Li naturally has no reason not to be.
She herself is a three-day two-headed banquet, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, she can turn over the names of three hundred and sixty-five banquets with her eyes closed, and it can not be the same every year.
It's not just because it's so lively, but in the eyes of the two of them, spending money on socializing and contacting feelings is useful.
At first, Li Di, who should also learn to be a housekeeper, did it twice, and then simply handed over the pair of cards to her and asked her to organize the host banquet by herself.
It's time to practice, after all, it doesn't matter if something goes wrong, and she can help with it. It's better than going to my mother-in-law's house and smashing the pot in the future, which makes people worry about it for a lifetime.
What kind of arrangement should be made in the garden according to the name of the host, how should the flower hall of the banquet be decorated, how should the dishes of the banquet be decided, who should be invited, each of them has a very taboo, and how many maids and servants must be placed inside and outside, and even follow the rewards...... One by one, Li Di, who had worked each other, quickly got through everything and knew everything.
The more you do it, the more you do it, the more you do it, the more you do it, and gradually catch up with your own hard-working garden, you will be eager to make people clear the garden, and then send someone to take care of a few corner doors, not a single fly is allowed to go in, and personally post to the little sister who is Su Rixiang.
invited their family to come or enjoy the flowers and poems, or go boating and climbing, gather to talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or female red needles, learn from each other, and talk about it.
Not only can they enhance their talents with each other, but they can also make friends and even close friends who have joined the deed, and they can also broaden their horizons, which is really beneficial to kill three birds with one stone.
Of course, this is all on the surface, and it is also the opinion of all parents.
In fact, for little girls of their age, this is all false.
is not like the pepper sisters, as long as they are willing, Rao is son can follow the elders of the family to the streets of Chongtang, and the family has not avoided anything so far.
But those little girls who are small and grow in a few doors are different, not to mention that the door does not go out of the second door, and Rao is three doors and four doors are not able to come out.
Stuffed at home all day, Rao is one of those little girls who are used to keeping to themselves and not saying anything, and they are inevitably disgusted, whether it is their nature to do so.
When I received a post, I was able to come out and breathe, how could I not be happy.
Even if it's just from one house to another, it's good, after all, it's not a trip to the house, even if you can only listen to the bustling cries on the street outside, and look at the shadowy street scene through the curtain, you are already satisfied.
Not to mention that the garden of the Li family's stacked mountains and rivers is still one of the best in Chongtang, and it can climb a high-level cruise ship. In addition, Li Di, who is generous, also used a lot of effort to entertain them, and the furnishings used for food are not the most expensive, but the most exquisite. Although there are not many little sisters invited to the banquet every time, they are never particularly annoying.
Being at home is not enough to describe their feelings, and soon, Li Di's host became famous in Chongtang.
Although there are several families who want to push their girls out with the help of the children's flower poetry club, but with the Li family's Li Di Zhuyu in front, even if there are all kinds of swallow abalone wings on the table, it is always a little bit less interesting.
The pepper sisters who were on the table also liked the banquet organized by Li Di.
Although they don't like to go out with the elders, and they don't like the feeling of being looked at by the ladies and wives holding hands, but Lilac and Xiangye both like to socialize between younger sisters of the same age.
Mrs. Li is an understanding person, and she has always kept a close eye on the banquet organized by Li Di, and it is impossible to make any more unseemly things. It's not like some people, selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and secretly picking on other little girls. And the little girl who was invited was just next to her, the first one was innocent of her family background, otherwise Mrs. Li wouldn't have been able to let Li Di play with others.
As for Sichuan pepper, it is a must-visit to see Sister Fennel and Sister Qi.
And every time they go to the meeting, the little sisters will also bring two colors of gifts to Li Di, Mrs. Li, and Fennel, not because of the value, but because of the sympathy of the courtesy.
Just like the gift selected by the pepper sisters this time, it is to use all kinds of fragrant flowers picked this summer, add cooked honey to mix, seal it in a porcelain jar, and bury it deep in the ground, and cellar all kinds of fragrant products for a month.
This incense product is made by Roche pepper sisters, because all kinds of fragrant flowers are carefully picked in the light of only three or four minutes of blooming, so when burning incense, the fragrant flowers that have been cellared are placed on the hard fireproof board in the incense burner, and quietly smoked with the charcoal fire. The fragrant flowers slowly bloom while spitting incense, and when the flowers are fully opened, it is the dawn of the fragrance of the flowers.
It's so chic and cute, even Yao's is full of praise.
The pepper sisters are even more excited, starting from the gardenia in late spring, and even the fragrant flowers want to try it.
Especially this time, it is already August, and the three pepper sisters are sitting in the carriage opposite, thinking about the osmanthus tree in the back garden of the Li family, Rao is pepper can't help but be eager to try.
The fragrance of osmanthus is already clear and thick, clear and clean, thick and far-reaching, it was originally the best fragrant flower for making incense, but I don't know what kind of fragrance it is used to make cellar incense.
Lilac also said: "The first wave of flowers has the strongest fragrance, and it should be on the ...... in the past few days."
Before the words fell, the carriage under him suddenly jolted violently, and Lilac, who was talking, was slapped by the small slingshot hidden in his waist.
"Hiss" gasped, but he didn't think much about it, he subconsciously reached out to help the slingshot, and Li Di's surprised expression when he saw the slingshot appeared in his mind, and there was an indescribable pride in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
She knew that Li Di had envied her slingshot for more than a day or two, so she secretly made this slingshot, plus marbles, but it took her more than a month.
It is absolutely easy to use, as long as Li Di follows her experience, do not use her eyes, but use her mind to aim at the target, push forward and pull back, and use her forearms and wrists to accumulate strength, not to mention a hundred shots, but it will definitely not be ashamed.
Lilac is "heartless and lungless", and her thoughts have turned seventeen or eighteen turns.
Only the cloves were like a rock under this sudden bump, and they didn't move, but the peppercorns and bay leaves no longer had such skills, and their center of gravity moved forward and staggered. But in the end, I have been practicing my fists and feet for so many years, and I didn't even think about it, it was already a buffer, I unloaded my strength, and I sat down again.
The bay leaves patted their chests on one wall, and pinched the ears of peppercorns on the other.
Luo Ji's worried voice was already sounding outside: "Jiaojiao, what happened to you and your sisters?" Is there something wrong? ”
Huajiao glanced at her sisters, and then raised the curtain: "Second cousin, we're fine, what's wrong with you?" ”
As he spoke, he poked his head out to see the gravel road under their feet: "What's going on?" ”
The road they are walking on now is the only land route leading to Chongtang in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, although it was destroyed by the flood that year, but over the years, after the frozen soil gradually melted, the county government and the inspection department have already allocated money to overhaul it.
The bottom of the groove was re-excavated, and the road surface was raised by two inches with sand. In the end, it is not very easy to build a road once and for all, and in the past few years, it has to spend money every year to fill in the repairs. Rao is Huang Meitian, and he has never been so bumpy.
What's more, there are so many people in the family, and there is no need to walk on this road for seventy or eighty times a day, but I have never heard of such a bumpy situation.
What's more, it's Luo Ji who drives.
Not counting the elders, the string of little boys in the family, even the cloves, are all good drivers.
Especially the fourth cousin and the fifth cousin, even the chariot can be driven freely, not to mention the carriage and ox cart.
In terms of safety, these two stacks are not as good as Luo Ji.
Or because of the death of Xiao Jiu, Luo Ji seems to have become accustomed to taking one step with his head down, looking up at ten steps, and thinking about a hundred steps in his heart. No matter what you do, you have to go through it in your heart several times, and consider everything you can consider before you can take action.
In fact, Wen Qi, Wheat, as well as Shishi, Little Monk, and Ya'er all have some such cautious energy, as if they have never seen more than what they are in front of.
If you don't talk about it, let's win the chess. No matter how often you play it at home, whether it's backgammon or backgammon, these are all good players.
Not only do you have to think about how you want to go, but you also have to think about how you will deal with your family. It's not just about seeing the fixed number in front of you, it's about seeing the variables. Even if you are at a disadvantage, you will never be discouraged. Where there is life, there is hope. Even if there is only one point to win, it will take every step well, judge the change of the pattern for possible opportunities, and never blindly wait for the loss......
In a real way, the brothers and sisters of Sichuan pepper grew up in the honey pot, judging the situation, and they really can't catch up with them when they are idle.
And Luo Ji because of his talent for martial arts, and he has studied under Master Chen for so many years, not to mention that he is always better at playing chess than his fourth cousin and fifth cousin, and his adaptability is also first-class. Therefore, whenever the Huajiao sisters go out to Chenguang of the Li family or the Shu family, it is not appropriate for the elders to follow them, and among the younger generations, Father Qin will ask Luo Ji to help escort the car.
It's always been appropriate, but it's the first time I've experienced such a substandard.
He himself was taken aback by the sudden bumps, and the first thing that flashed through his mind was the safety of peppercorns and sisters.
Hearing that they were all right, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he would not let his guard down.
Seventeen or eighteen thoughts flashed through my heart in an instant.
didn't look back, so he told the pepper: "I'm fine." ”
But he slowed down his speed, drove the carriage forward slowly, looked at the road in front of him, and continued in a low voice: "Jiaojiao, there seems to be a problem with the road conditions today, and we have just bypassed two potholes. Also, I always feel that something is not right, there seems to be a pair of eyes staring at us in the back, and they have been staring all the way, I'm afraid that the comer is not good! ”
Or even a pair of eyes staring at us?
The pepper was creepy, and before she came back to her senses, Lilac had already rushed over from the carriage, came to Luo Ji's side, and said awe-inspiringly: "Really? ”
Although the words that were only asked were questionable sentences, as soon as the words fell, the people had already jumped on the wheels, stood up with the car enclosure, and then held on to the canopy of the dome, and looked back.
Then he told Luo Ji Tonghua pepper bay leaves: "There are four ox carts and carriages behind, and eleven pedestrians, all of whom seem to be in a hurry, and they can't see anything unusual for the time being." ”
As he spoke, he looked around again, and subconsciously buckled the slingshot on his waist with one hand.
Huajiao had come back to his senses, his face was solemn, and he also asked Luo Ji: "Second cousin, can you be sure?" Shall we turn back? ”
Luo Ji nodded, then grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, and returned the same way: "I'm sure!" He also said, "Let's go home first, I don't know what else will happen along the way." ”
Sichuan pepper couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Knowing that in broad daylight, it is an important commercial port like Chongtang, with shops in front of the village and behind them, and there are even pedestrians on the road, and their carriage has their mark, which Chongtang can recognize, and even she shouts here, and the family and Chongtang can hear it, and it should not and cannot happen to any vicious incidents.
But for Luo Ji's words, he believed it for no reason, and he was even more chuckled in his heart.
Xiangye was already holding the hand of the pepper, and there was cold sweat oozing out of the palm: "Pepper, let's go home quickly!" ”
Hua Jiao hurriedly patted her on the back: "Let's go home." He asked Luo Ji again: "Second cousin, where did we bump a little just now?" As he spoke, he reached for the wooden stick that was used to support the wheel when he stopped.
Luo Ji moved his gaze downward, looked closer, and said, "About three zhang in front, there is a slightly concave wheel print." ”
Hua Jiao answered, and was about to slow him down a bit, when he heard a "whoosh" sound, and something even fell on the place pointed out by Fang Cai Luo Ji.
Looking up, I saw that Lilac was already holding a slingshot in her hand for some time, and grabbed a handful of marbles from the purse on her waist with one hand. Without exception, they all played in the same position.
Luo Ji slowly drove the carriage forward, and when he finished playing a handful of marbles, he saw that there was a depression that looked like the wheels had been crushed over.
couldn't help but stare at it vigorously, and then took a wooden stick and pulled it vigorously, not understanding how Luo Ji couldn't see such a clear and conspicuous depression.
Fortunately, the horses were not pinned in, and their carriage was not heavy, it should have been just a pinch of the wheels, otherwise what would they have done without the horses.
I went to see the peppercorns again.
I saw that the attention of the pepper was not in the depression, but looked straight ahead.
Lilac looked ahead with the peppercorn's gaze, and saw that she was looking fixedly at a two-horse horse-drawn yarn bib not far ahead, with tassels, hanging tassels, and richly decorated carriages.
With his eyes on the two coachmen on the wheel, and the two healthy servants on either side of the horse, Lilac squatted down, lowered his voice and asked Huajiao, "Do they have a problem?" ”
The peppercorns weren't sure either, but there were always eyes on the other side that kept glancing at their cars.
He said, "Let's be careful and stay away from them." ”
Luo Ji also saw that something was wrong, snorted, increased his speed slightly, and pulled away horizontally.
There was probably a distance of two zhang between the wrong body, and I saw a gorgeously dressed woman poking her head out of the window of the thin bamboo curtain, and greeted Luo Ji with a smile: "Little brother! ”
Luo Ji heard but didn't listen, and sped up, and the healthy servants who were close to them walked over quickly when they saw it, and the cloves were pulled, and a marble fell directly in front of his toes, smashing into the sand.
At the same time, peppercorns were already loudly greeting the pedestrians dressed in short brown in front of them.
