Chapter 12: Swapping
In addition to being caught by Father Su to accompany her to dinner every day, Illan also insisted on one thing, and got up earlier to freshen up and go to Zhao to say goodbye. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Hui Tong came to see her that day, she looked at those bird's nests, ginseng, lingzhi, cloth and the box of colorful beads, and thought in her heart that this Hui Tong was dissatisfied with her.
For her not to ask for peace that day, Zhao will not do anything to let Huitong bring things to see if she is okay. And Hui Tong came, which can only show one problem, it was Hui Tong who came at her own invitation, so only Hui Tong had an opinion on her and secretly reminded her to respect her mother.
Hulan understands it this way, how did she know that Hutong was dissatisfied with her life. She got up early every day, so she simply took a bottle and picked up some morning dew on the way to ask for peace to make tea for the old lady. Often the first person she meets in Furong Garden is none other than Huiyun. Her thin body stood in the sky with the morning mist, which made Illan feel not only pity, but also a sense of jealousy. This girl, in her thin body, has an unwilling soul. Even though she hides it very well every time, she never treats Huiyun and Orchid as much as she treats Huizhu, and it's terrible for someone to hide her desires silently. What E-zhu likes and what she covets, she always says it unabashedly, and such a simple and straightforward mind makes E-lan feel at ease.
And then there is that Huitong has been more diligent in Jincuiju these days, or else she seized the opportunity to take Huilan to her Dianfangzhai, and she didn't say anything when she went, and they sat and did their own things. Yes, in the past few days, Edan has already eaten all the pastries from Fangzhai.
Huizhu cut a new skirt, and couldn't wait to find Huilan Huiyun to appreciate, it was a flower-picking pleated silk skirt, such as a haze bundle and her body, Huilan had to admire, this ancient skill is really good, handmade exquisitely, she looked at Huizhu's skirt, and secretly thought, if this is in modern times, how much does this skirt have to sell? She also had literary and artistic feelings for a while, and bought cotton skirts and linen clothes, and the price of very plain dresses was more expensive than her ordinary clothes, and those better literary retro skirts on Tmall were almost four figures. Hulan has only been literary and artistic for a while, and she has not been literary and artistic for a while, and literature and art are all supported by money.
Now that she wears silk and satin every day, and picks a skirt embroidered with gold and silver, Eiran doesn't know if her overall quality of life has improved, or if she is the original pitiful crossing.
If she had a choice, would she choose to return to the modern day with her gold and silver jewelry?
"Fourth sister, fourth sister, what's wrong with you?"
Illan was so engrossed that she didn't notice that Eizhu was already calling her, pulling her arm.
"Ah," Illan came back to her senses and said, "The third sister's dress is really beautiful, I feel itchy to see it, I really wish I had one." ā
Hearing this, Huizhu's face was quite colorful, and she patted Huilan's shoulder and said proudly: "Of course, this can be a pattern drawn by my aunt herself." ā
Ezu's pride is not unfounded, her aunt is used to wearing clothes. She looked at the money tightly, but the hairpin ring of the dress was a piece of fine and fashionable. Even Aunt Yan, who only likes to dress up and is willing to spend money, is incomparable.
"Grandmother loves you so much, it's not easy for you to want one, just go and tell her." Huizhu turned around as she spoke, took out the handkerchief on her shirt and shook it and said, "I heard that my father took you fishing a few days ago, and you hung a turtle up?" ā
When the matter was mentioned, Elan nodded embarrassedly, and Ezhu leaned close to her and said, "Why don't we go fishing too?" ā
Huilan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Huiyun and said, "Look at what the two sisters mean." ā
Huiyun nodded after a little hesitation, and didn't forget to say first: "Sisters, be careful when fishing, don't get too close to the water." ā
The three girls took the maid and the boom, and hung the earthworm on the hook and put it in the lake with incense. Said to come fishing, but it was opened by Huizhu, chatting about the day, the maids brought melon seeds, fried twist flowers, fried walnut dates, pumpkin pie and other food, but also in response to the instructions of Huizhu to take a small hanging stove, boiled flower tea. It actually made it feel like drinking afternoon tea, and Eilan took a sip of tea with the fragrance of roses, squinted her eyes, and felt that her current life was really too luxurious and too corrupt.
People who are full of food and drink are a little lazy, and Hulan does not like fishing, which is a recreational activity that tests patience. Seeing that Huizhu and Huiyun looked drowsy, she handed the boom to Baoxiang, preventing them from following and quietly hiding among the flowers and trees with her skirt.
The Su family's garden is very well maintained, and when spring returns to the earth, it is a scene of a hundred flowers blooming. She folded a pink flower in her hand, chased the colorful butterflies, walked through the path paved with stones, and carefully avoided the maids and women who came and went. She had just dodged the two maids and was about to cover her mouth when the boy's voice came from behind her, "What are you doing here?" ā
Illan didn't have to look back to know that this person must be that Brother Jiang.
He was still dressed in white, and Illan knew that he must be in filial piety, so he never doubted whether he had any fairy complex.
Hulan Fu bowed, and then said slowly: "The two sisters took me to the lake to fish." ā
"Oh?" Jiang Jiuhan seemed to think of the turtle she caught that day, so he continued to ask, "Can you catch it?" ā
Illan bit her lip and said word by word: "No! ā
Jiang Jiuhan seemed to laugh, looked at the brightly dressed little girl and took her hand and said, "Let's go, Brother Jiang will take you to see the fish." ā
He raised four fish, but they were as red as fire, and they were not koi, but they were pleasing to look at, and now they were only the length of their fingers. Illan stretched out her hand and touched the calm water, and the fish fled in panic, but it was very sensitive.
Drawing Lan saw it, Jiang Jiuhan took a jar and scooped up two and handed them to her. Illan looked at the little fish swimming and hesitated, asking her to want it, but it was not good to take his things like this. When she was embarrassed, she suddenly remembered a carbon pot she had just seen in the garden, and her eyes lit up and said, "I'll exchange food with you." ā
Illan took Jiang Jiuhan to the kitchen, took a few sweet potato taro carbons out, and buried the sweet potato taro in Jiang Jiuhan's house with a fire fold. Hulan is not idle, and Tong Jiang Jiuhan is talking about her turtle, ready to plant lotus flowers. Jiang Jiuhan also said that he came from the capital......
When the smell of roasted sweet potatoes came out of the charcoal pot, I took a stick and picked out the sweet potato taro, and I didn't need to dip it, so I peeled it like this. Jiang Jiuhan has never eaten this kind of food, he has been a delicacy of the mountains and seas since he was a child, where is the opportunity to eat this kind of civilian food.
As if she had known about it, Illan skinned him, handed it to him and said, "Sweet, it tastes good." ā
said, as if he was afraid that Jiang Jiuhan would not believe it, he quickly peeled one and endured it and ate it.
The guards around the house secretly covered their eyes, and they, as the masters of the Hou Sect, were abducted and ate vulgar food in this way.
When Eilan was satisfied and went back with the fish in her arms, Huizhu Huiyun was looking for her, and she was relieved to see her appear. I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw her holding the two fish in the jar, Huiyun was older, and asked where Huilan went, and Huilan said that she went to the garden to see the fish in the pond and liked it, waiting for the maid to fish it out for her.
The dishes in the evening were arranged by Huitong, spicy shrimp, sweet and sour pork ribs, hibiscus white jade soup, boiled meat, braised fish...... Looking past a table of spicy dishes. Huitong did it under the banner of arranging food for her father, which was very much in line with Hulan's heart. When Illan was feasting, he faintly remembered a question, Su Zijin didn't seem to eat much spicy, and he had a light mouth. And today, Huitong arranged the dishes, but it was mainly spicy, Huilan saw that Huitong was indifferent on his face, and then saw that Jiang Jiuhan was eating happily, and knew in her heart, this was specially arranged for Jiang Jiuhan, right?
However, how did she know Jiang Jiuhan's taste?
Before Illan could figure out this problem, two things happened to the Su family, one was that the Su family came to a world friend of Su Zijin, and he also brought a five-year-old son. One thing is that Aunt Ru and Aunt Hui in the house are pregnant!
Su Zijin hasn't seen his old friend for many years, and no one in Fuzhong has been pregnant since Hulan was born, and it is difficult for two things to bump into one place all of a sudden. Immediately, with a wave of his hand, he opened the warehouse and found nourishing herbs, and sent them to the kitchen to replenish the two aunts. As for his old friend Lou Yi, he even pulled him to prepare good wine and food, and he would rest as soon as he got drunk.
On the night of drinking, Su Zijin went first and asked Jiang Jiuhan if he wanted to have a meal together, but Jiang Jiuhan coldly refused. Su Zijin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he couldn't eat happily with Jiang Jiuhan at the banquet. After getting a satisfactory answer, Father Su asked Zhao to arrange his meal, and then called the housekeeper to tidy up a table of dishes.
Lou Yi's family is in business, and the Su family has made friends before it has become developed. He loves to travel the rivers and lakes, he doesn't like fetters, he went out for a few years, this time he came back to Jiangnan and remembered that Su Zijin had corresponded with him and said that he came to Jiangnan with his feet, and also brought a surprise to Su Zijin, who had already brought a five-year-old child.
This best friend Su Zijin didn't know what to say about him, saying that he was going out to come back with a son, but he was obviously thirty-five years old, and he was already four girls, no, maybe he had to add the father of two boys. His life speed of being content with fate is much faster than Lou Yi's.
Because it is a world friend and Lou Yi's children are still relatively young, there are not so many rules, and even the old lady was invited out. Illan digested the recent news, her aunt was pregnant, and Su Zijin was happy, but it was just a man's excitement. This back house is still a woman's world, men are happy, women don't necessarily have to be happy. She dared to say that none of the women in the circle of women in the backyard were happy.
Those who are not pregnant, naturally they are unwilling and jealous, what about those who are pregnant, and they still think that there is another one on the other side, who gave birth to a brother, whose brother was born first, this determines their status in Su Zijin's heart, can they not be anxious?
