Chapter 35: Dinner Time
"You sisters must support each other. Our Yuan family's population is already withering, and there are only two of you in this generation, so we can't let outsiders bully you. ”
Yuan Shanqi nodded shyly, "Grandmother, I know." I'll protect my sister. ”
The old lady nodded, very pleased.
She also instructed Mao Zhuangtou: "Mao Zhuangtou will arrange a guest house for Miss Wu, and then go to Miss Wu to get a letterhead and send someone to send it to the university scholar's mansion." Remember, don't say much to the people who sent it. ”
"Yes, old lady." Mao Zhuangtou wrote it down.
The old lady thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, "Alas, wait, let's let Qin Mo go." The scholar has only one daughter, and he has always been spoiled, and if this Ufanqian is really his granddaughter, he will definitely attach great importance to it. Just send someone to it, it's not good to lose their face. ”
Qin Mo nodded, "The old slave will go later." ”
Zhuangzi is not very large, but there are more than a dozen courtyards, so it will soon reach a fork in the road.
Yuan Shanjia and Yuan Shanqi are in the courtyard of Cuizhuxuan.
In fact, the two don't live in the same yard. Cuizhuxuan is planted with bamboo, and there is a small lake in the middle, which is divided into two sides by the small lake, and a small courtyard on each side, which is very elegant.
Yuan Shanqi actually never came to this Zhuangzi, she went to her mother's wedding Zhuangzi the most, on a hill not far from Hongfu Temple, there is also a spring on it, which is very cool in summer.
This Zhuangzi was purchased by the old lady when she first came to Yundu, and the signature of the title deed was herself, so it was her own property.
Usually there is a hair village to take care of, but the old lady occasionally comes to inspect it.
Yuan Shanqi asked Yuan Shanjia to choose first, and Yuan Shanjia was naturally not polite, and directly chose the cooler-looking courtyard on the left.
Yuan Shanqi smiled and chose the courtyard on the right.
In the evening, the things brought from the General's Mansion were basically put together.
Yuan Shanjia didn't have many things, but Qing'er also cleaned up for an afternoon with the help of Indi'er sent by the old lady.
At dinner time, the old lady went up to the mountain to hunt since she came, and the old lady's wife asked Yuan Shanqi and Yuan Shanjia to accompany her to eat.
The food is freshly picked from the mountains and rivers, and the ingredients are very fresh.
It was the cook who came from the house and cooked it himself, and the taste was very good, which made several people have a great appetite and eat very satisfied.
After the meal, Cui'er handed a cup of tea to the old lady.
The old lady took the gargle, and then took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth gently, "Did you send food to Miss Wu?" Is she satisfied? ”
Cui'er put the towel away and replied, "I have already ordered the kitchen to send it." Miss Wu was very grateful to the old lady, and said that she would come over later to thank her in person. ”
"Hmm. When she comes, remember to tell me. The old lady waved her hand absently.
She looked at Yuan Shanjia, who was still eating, and was very loving, "Jia'er, you eat more, you are too thin." ”
Yuan Shanjia nodded, "Well, thank you, grandmother." ”
"What does Qi'er think of the meal? Still with appetite? The old lady looked at Yuan Shanqi again.
Yuan Shanqi had already put down his chopsticks and sat there quietly, looking at Yuan Shanjia gently.
When she heard the old lady's words, she stood up and replied, "The meal is delicious, grandmother. ”
"Why didn't you eat more? My old man has a weak spleen and stomach, why do you young people only eat so little when you are growing your body? The old lady felt that Yuan Shanqi's body was very thin.
She secretly said in her heart: Obviously, there are so many delicious foods at home, and she usually does not lack food and clothing, but she has grown so thin. Li didn't know what to think, every year was young, even if he kept eating, he couldn't eat so little, like a cat.
Thinking like this, the old lady instantly felt that Yuan Shanjia's appearance of eating was more in line with her heart.
"Come on, Jia'er, it's not enough to tell grandmother to let the kitchen do it again." The old lady's wife kept putting vegetables for Yuan Shanjia.
Yuan Shanjia black line, her appetite is indeed more than Yuan Shanqi, but it doesn't mean that she is a rice bucket.
"Grandmother, I'm full." Yuan Shanjia hurriedly stopped the old lady's movements and put down the chopsticks.
"Really?" The senator's wife looked at her suspiciously.
"Really!" Yuan Shanjia said affirmatively.
"Okay." The old lady's wife waved her hand regretfully and asked her subordinates to remove the dishes and chopsticks.
Seeing the unfinished face of the old lady, Yuan Shanjia was glad that he had stopped, otherwise he would have to eat later.
"Come with me for a walk in the garden." The old lady said kindly.
Yuan Shanqi was about to nod, and her upbringing Du Mo respectfully reminded: "Old lady, it's time for the eldest lady to practice." ”
"This ......" Yuan Shanqi paused, "It's okay, it's only a walk with my grandmother for a while, and it's okay later." ”
The old lady squinted at Du Mo, and the majestic momentum suddenly let go, Du Mo didn't feel anything at all, and he was very calm, which made people unable to grasp the mistakes.
Yuan Shanqi was a little dissatisfied, frowning and looking at Du Mo, "Du Mo, you ......"
The old lady was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Qi'er, you can go." The piano has to be insisted on every day. ”
There was no trace of emotion in her voice, which made Yuan Shanqi a little uneasy.
But looking at the old lady's indifferent but firm gaze, Yuan Shanqi pursed her lips, "Grandmother, Qi'er retired first." ”
"Hmm."
"Grandmother, what's wrong with you? Angry? My sister just wanted to practice, not on purpose. Yuan Shanjia asked.
The senator shook her head.
She felt uncomfortable, not because of the piano practice. Instead, she thought that whenever she was ready to get close to Qi'er, Li always arranged a lot of homework for her, so that Qi'er had been very busy since she realized it.
At first, she thought it was to hope that her daughter would become a phoenix, but later she found that there was always someone present every time she had dinner with Qi'er.
Especially this one. It is said that he came out of the palace and once served the queen mother.
This Du was there when Qi'er was born, and she has always been this calm and rigorous appearance, and she has always used this rigorous appearance to tell her that Qi'er should do this, it is time to do that, and there is no trace to block the grandparents and grandchildren.
She once told her son, who also thought it was her delusion.
The old lady frowned, the older this Qi'er is, why does it last a long time. If you were afraid that she would stir up the relationship between mother and daughter when she was a child, but now that she is so old, are you still afraid that she will be transferred?
A pair of hands touched her brow, "Grandmother, don't frown, it's not good-looking." ”
The old lady came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Grandmother is over fifty years old, and she is not good-looking. ”
Yuan Shanjia said with a smile: "No matter how old grandmother is, she looks good in Jia'er's heart. ”
The old lady pinched Yuan Shanjia's face, frowned and thought, "Have you eaten honey with your little mouth?" Why is it so sweet? ”
"No, I just ate the same thing as my grandmother. Absolutely no honey! Yuan Shanjia tore her hand away, but she was reluctant to let go, so she held it in her hand.
"Isn't Grandmother going for a walk? I'll go with my grandmother alone. Yuan Shanjia took the old lady's hand and walked out slowly.
"Ahh
