Chapter Ninety-Seven: Picking Beans

In the past few days, the rumors about Aunt Fang in the Lan Mansion have been very loud, but the masters seem to be willing to let it go, so the rumors are spreading more and more, and the more they are spreading, the more they are happy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I heard that Aunt Fang is actually Aunt Fu's own sister, and she entered the mansion to be a concubine for the third master, just to avenge her sister.

I heard that the haunting and the third wife's illness were all caused by her. Not only did she use some means to lure some wild cats to the back of the third wife's house, she wailed every night, making the third lady sleep badly, and poisoned the third wife's drinking water, so the third wife's little wind and cold would not be cured for a long time, and she was terminally ill for a time.

I heard that she also bought off the Yuming family and the nurse of the nine girls. Yuming committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, and the nurse of the nine girls even tried to murder the nine girls.

Some people say that this Aunt Fang can't see it, she looks like a very docile and kind person on weekdays, but she is ruthless when she moves, and she should not be underestimated.

Others are not convinced, so what if they can't be underestimated? Isn't it a failure? In the end, I still can't catch up with the third wife. I don't know if the three wives had insight into this Aunt Fang's conspiracy early in the morning, or what, not only did they escape death, but they could also win in danger?

Some agreed. Yes, I didn't expect that the third wife has been sick all these years, but she is such a powerful master? It seems that none of the women in this house are fuel-efficient lamps!

Rumors are still hot, and the situation has taken a new turn. It is said that the third master was furious, and in a fit of anger, he called Ya Po into the house, and sold all the people around Aunt Fang, and also explained that he would sell far away. As for Aunt Fang, she was assigned to a village thirty miles away from Qingyang, and I am afraid that the day of returning home is far away. The tenth sister was temporarily taken to the main courtyard to be raised, and everyone secretly speculated that the tenth sister's mother wanted the lives of the third wife and the third wife's daughter, the ninth girl, and now she was raised in front of the third wife, and the third lady could not be angry when she saw it? I'm afraid it's not going to be easy.

Someone secretly thought that the third master looked gentle and elegant on weekdays, but he was also ruthless. The woman who served him, said that he would send it, first there was a jade tea, and then there was an Aunt Fang, don't think that everything would be fine if she successfully climbed the bed, Aunt Fang still has a woman by her side, what is the result? After all, you still have to keep to yourself!

As soon as this incident came out, the maids in the mansion who had the idea of the third master all stopped for the time being and waited to see what happened. On the side, but also secretly awakened, the third master and the third wife are not easy to mess with, in the future, these three rooms, there is more respect.

Lan Xi didn't listen to these kinds of rumors at all, and she didn't take them to heart, she was just busy going to school every day to deal with the school exam. Facts have proved that the hard work of several months has not been in vain, and although the other results are mediocre, Lan Xi's hard work in calligraphy, painting and female celebrity have all won an excellent award, which is really impressive. Where is this still the old Lan Wu girl who had a headache as soon as she entered the school, fished for three days and dried her nets for two days, but she didn't like to read and didn't know how to be motivated? Now that people are really grown up, sensible, and know how to work hard. Of course, in addition to Lan Yun, who failed to participate in the examination school because of the grounding, the results of several other girls in the Lan family are also good, Lan Juan is good at the piano, Lan Xiang is good at chess, and Lan Xiang's chess and calligraphy and painting scores are mediocre, but the rules are most praised by Shen Niangzi, Lan Lian and Lan Ying have just entered the school, and they have not yet been determined, but they can't see their preferences and specialties, and the younger Lan Qin and the tenth sister have not even gone to school.

Anyway, when the old lady saw that her girls were growing, she couldn't smile from ear to ear, so she asked the rich mother to open the treasury and rewarded a lot of things, and even Lan Qin and the tenth sister also followed and got some good things from the old lady.

The young masters saw that they didn't follow, twisting the old lady to make trouble, and the old lady shouted that she had a headache, but she was so smiling that she couldn't see her teeth, and she was robbed of a bunch of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, not to mention the famous calligraphy and painting.

After the exam, the school took annual leave, but it was already the beginning of the month. Lan Xi has been fine recently, so he nested in the third wife's house and played with Lan Qin. After the previous rockery and this time almost lost his life, the knot between Lan Qin and Lan Xi seemed to be quietly untied, Lan Qin no longer rejected Lan Xi's approach, as they got along day by day, the sisters became closer and closer, and the third wife was also happy to see it.

There are still two days left before Laba, and the sisters have a whim today to boil Laba porridge by themselves. Early in the morning, the pillow moon and catkins were sent around, and all kinds of beans were moved to the flower hall of the main courtyard and placed on the ground. The little sisters knelt on the blankets in the flower hall without any rules and picked up the beans. To say that there are so many varieties, it should be easy to pick eight, but in these two sisters, it is difficult, difficult. What is the reason, please don't worry, and take your time.

"Millet nourishes the stomach, red dates nourish blood and nourish qi, and this walnut, which nourishes the brain, eat a little to be smart, you should eat more."

"The fifth sister should eat more walnuts! I don't like walnuts, I like ginkgo and red beans. I replaced the walnuts and longan, and the longan smelled of medicine, which I didn't like. ”

"No, you chose the first ones, so you have to choose some of my favorites, right?"

"I'm a sister, you're a sister, you should let me be."

Fighting and fighting, the two sisters were a little blushing and thick-necked. The third wife looked at it in her eyes, but she felt happy, not to mention Lan Qin, she was afraid of being born very much on weekdays, she was so domineering in front of Lan Xi, that was really close, and what about Lan Xi? On weekdays, she has always been precocious, and she looks old and serious in front of her mother, but in front of her own sister, she is like a child, who knows how to compete and know how to gamble.

"Okay, you two, how do you remember that one is one out? Do you still need to worry about this laba porridge? The big kitchen is ready for a long time! According to the rules of our Suzhou Mansion, this sweet and salty are indispensable. ”

"Is the laba porridge still salty?" Lan Xi was surprised.

"I like sweets." Lan Qin said.

"I also like to eat sweet, and I like the laba porridge we ate in the capital. Mother, isn't this sweet Laba porridge in Suzhou different from that in our capital? ”

Although the third wife is not from Suzhou, after all, she has lived in Qingyang with the third master for six years, and she can easily understand the customs here. Laba porridge in the capital is the most exquisite, there are more things mixed in the white rice, not only limited to eight kinds, you like red dates, lotus seeds, longan, peanuts, ginkgo can be put in, like we used to be in the house, a pot of Laba porridge can be put in no less than 20 kinds. ”

Both sisters let out a "wow". The third lady continued, "You only think that this laba porridge is soft and glutinous and sweet, and it is very delicious, but you don't know that it takes a lot of effort to boil. In the middle of the night, you have to go to the pot and boil it slowly over low heat, until it is boiled until the early morning of the eighth day of the new year, and this laba porridge can be counted. ”
