Chapter 154: Shaoguang Passes 1
"Child......" Qin took Mo'er's hand and said to her: "Don't resent your father, the reason why he is so strict with you is that he doesn't want you to be as pampered and arrogant as your aunt." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn the end, because of his own personality, he ended up like that. ā
Mother's words gave Mo'er a new understanding of her father.
Knowing the reason why her father was strict with her, and her father's dedication to her behind her invisible, she suddenly thought of that father's love like a mountain. Her eyes were red and a little moist, but the corners of her mouth were happily raised into a smile, and she was disgusted. "What a stupid daddy."
At lunchtime, Mo'er specially chose to sit opposite the Oriental Crane.
She had never looked closely, the father who always had a straight face on her and a very serious expression.
I don't know when, silver threads have grown on his head, and there are many more wrinkles on his face than before, especially the blue color that covers his eyelids because he can't sleep well, which looks even older.
Mo'er's heart was sour, and she took a fish head and put it in her father's bowl.
Of course, Mo'er didn't miss it, and her father's face flashed with surprise and joy.
He took small bites of the fish head in the bowl, as if he were tasting the most delicious food in the world.
Seeing her father's move, Mo'er's eyes turned even redder.
After the meal, it was rare to chat with my father for a while. Then he and Qu Tianlin took a nap in the boudoir before she got married, and then went back.
On the way back, Mo'er leaned on Qu Tianlin's shoulder: "Mother doesn't say it, I don't know that my father loves me like this." I've always misunderstood that he is patriarchal and only loves his brothers......"
The sobbing sound in his ears made Qu Tianlin feel distressed for a while.
He gently patted his wife on the shoulder and coaxed her silently.
In fact, he wanted to tell Mo'er how much he envied her......
Time blinks in the blink of an eye, and it's the last day of the year.
The snow was very heavy that day, and the weather was very cold, so in the morning, after Mo'er and Qu Tianlin said goodbye to Mrs. Tai, they accompanied Mrs. Tai to have breakfast.
They drank sweet potato porridge with pickles brought back from Chongqing by Mo'er and Qu Tianlin, sliced venison, taro sticks wrapped in powdered sugar and platters.
It was freezing on this day, and the old man's body and bones were relatively weak, even if the earth dragon was burned and the fire was lit in the house, the old lady still wore thick clothes. This caused her hands to hold chopsticks a little insensitive, and she needed a mandarin duck to help her pick up vegetables.
Mo'er was very distressed when she saw the old man like this, and hurriedly asked Chenshuang to go back to Linlang Pavilion to get the white jade warm box that Long Lin auctioned at the Jinyu Trading House.
When Chenshuang came over, Mo'er handed the white jade warm box to Mrs. Tai: "Grandmother, this is a gift from my eldest brother, and it is made of warm jade from Lantian." Although this box is a little bigger, it is inconvenient to carry it around, but it can still keep warm. It's a cold day, and your granddaughter-in-law is very worried about your body. ā
"Luluo, look at ......" The old lady suddenly laughed, and said to Mama Xu beside her: "This daughter's family is more considerate than men." ā
Mama Xu couldn't help but smile and nodded, "You are really blessed to have such a hurtful granddaughter-in-law as Madame." ā
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Qu Tianlin couldn't help but remind her: "Lady, grandmother actually has a lot of warm jade. She has been practicing martial arts all her life, refuses to serve the old, and feels that she is old and strong, so she refuses to wear it. ā
Hearing her husband mention this, Mo'er realized that she had done something superfluous.
What kind of person is Mrs. Tai, who was born as a daughter of Jiangmen, and married into the Qu family firm, the head of the four major commercial houses, why don't she have a few pieces of Lantian warm jade in her hands!
Thinking of this, Mo'er was embarrassed.
Seeing her embarrassment, the old lady took Mo'er's hand and patted the back of her hand. "You child is heartwarming, you know that your heart hurts, and your grandmother can't rejoice! Pothos, go to my cabinet and get that three-star box of Fulu carved with red lacquer. ā
"Hey." Mama Xu responded, turned around and went to the back room, and after a while, she took out a three-star box of Fulu carved red lacquer.
"Bring it quickly." Mrs. Tai said to Mama Xu with a smile.
Mama Xu handed the three-star Fulu box carved with red lacquer to Mrs. Tai.
The old lady took the carved red lacquer box and handed it to Mo'er, and said with a smile, "Open it and take a look." ā
Mo'er stretched out her hands and solemnly took the carved red lacquer box, then opened it, not only stunned: "Grandmother, this is too precious, I can't ask for it." Mo'er closed the carved red lacquer box and returned it to the old lady.
There are six compartments in the box, and there is a piece of warm jade one inch square in each of them.
There are carved bats with pomegranates in their mouths, there are carved kiwi fruits, there are carved rich begonias, there are carved Guanyin small faces, there are carved unicorns, and there are carved gold and jade.
Each piece is exquisitely carved, meaning beautiful, and priceless.
How could Mo'er take something as valuable as the old lady!
The old lady pushed the carved red lacquer box back to Mo'er, "Silly child, this is grandmother's intention, don't refuse." ā
Mo'er still wanted to open her mouth to excuse herself, but Qu Tianlin took her hand at this time and persuaded her. "Grandmother gives it to you, don't shirk it."
The husband said so, and Mo'er would be hypocritical if she excused herself, so she accepted it.
That night, Mo'er, Qu Tianlin, Fenglin, and Xuanlin all crowded to the old lady's Lixiangyuan to eat hot pot.
Mo'er used wild mushrooms as the soup base, added fine salt and a little lard, and when the water boiled, Mo'er put the sliced pork slices in the hot pot and soaked.
"Grandmother, you taste it first." Mo'er took a piece of pork and put it in the old lady's bowl, and said, "You eat it with this sauce I made." ā
The old lady smiled and groaned, and according to what Mo'er said, she dipped the pork slices in the sauce and ate them. "Well, it tastes so good." Melt-in-your-mouth.
Even if the old man has bad teeth, he can eat it.
"Lin'er, Fenglin, Xuanlin, you should also come and taste it."
"Okay, I'll try a piece." Xuan Lin said, picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of pork slices and learned to put Mo'er in the hot pot and soaked it, and dipped it in the dipping sauce to eat. "Uh-huh, yes, yes." Xuan Lin gave Mo'er a thumbs up.
"Yes, I'll taste it too. Second brother, come and eat too. Qu Tianlin called Feng Lin, Feng Lin lifted the chopsticks and said "Okay" with a smile.
The snow outside was falling heavier, but the family was happily eating shabu-shabu, lively and warm.
At this time, Xuan Lin suddenly smiled and said, "If only there was wine." ā
"There is still half an urn of winter wine!" Mo'er said with a smile, and then instructed Chenshuang, who was serving them to eat, to bring someone to fill a few bottles of winter wine.
When the morning frost brought the winter wine, he poured a glass of wine for everyone.
"Fourth Master." Morning Frost brought the wine glass to Xuanlin.
When Xuan Lin took the wine glass, he accidentally touched Chenshuang's hand, and he felt as if he had been electrocuted, and there was a crispy numb sensation on his fingers. (To be continued.) )
