Chapter Seventy-Nine: An Unavoidable Calculation
"Who wants to regret it?" When the room was silent, a familiar voice sounded, and Hu Qinghui entered the door as he spoke. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She arrived later, and she didn't know what was going on in the house, so she smiled and asked Mrs. Lan to bend her knees first.
When he stood up and looked, he pretended to be surprised, stared at Lan Jiayin with big eyes, and said, "Oh, whose lady is this?" Is it such a flowery and moon-like appearance? ”
"Dare to ask, you are dressed up so well today, are you going to the peach banquet?"
Lan Jiayin's originally depressed mood was diluted a lot by Hu Qinghui's naughty joke.
Angrily glanced at this naughty friend, raised his hand and pointed to Lan Jiarou's side, and said angrily: "Hurry up and sit down, eat if you don't eat, drink if you want, save your mouth is idle, and you will squeeze me out." ”
Hu Qinghui smiled and sat next to Sister Rou, she had just eaten in the house, but she couldn't help but be greedy at the moment, and let Cui Yu scoop half a bowl of it.
Hu Qinghui is also a guest invited by Mrs. Xuanping Hou today, because she is going out to the banquet, she is not going to ordinary people's houses, so she is also very careful to clean up and dress up.
Look at her, dressed in a light yellow gauze stand-up collar middle shirt, green embroidered soft smoke tightens the waist jacket, and the waist is knotted with yellow and green two-color wishful knots.
Looking up, the tassel sideburns are decorated with delicate silver butterflies and beads, and the wings of the silver butterfly flicker, as if if it is about to fly away if you are not careful.
And Hu Qinghui's white jade-like little face is also lightly drawn on willow eyebrows today, with jasmine powder lightly, and a pair of affectionate eyes are as clear and translucent as a pool of blue water.
The beautiful red lips were only smeared with a little light pink lipstick, and they looked moist and plump, like the petals of a fresh flower that had just been plucked in the morning.
This is a gentle and virtuous beauty, and wearing such a set of tender and beautiful summer dresses, she is more and more a special symbol.
People can't help but admire from the heart, "What a tender and delicate slender beauty." ”
Mrs. Lan really loved it the more she looked at it, picked up the chopsticks in front of her, sandwiched a chopstick red oil mixed with vegetarian three silks, put it on the plate in front of Hu Qinghui, and said with a smile, "Wanwan, eat with this, it's sour and crunchy, and it's particularly refreshing." ”
"Hey, thank you, aunt." Hu Qinghui followed what Mrs. Lan said, and used Su Sansi with the egg custard, and sure enough, it added a little more flavor.
Lan Jiayin saw that her mother was happy, and she had a lot of fun, so she tapped the plate in front of her and pouted: "I've been here for a long time, and my mother hasn't seen anything to eat for her daughter. ”
Mrs. Lan was so amused by her that she couldn't help but smile, stretched out her hand and gently touched the corner of her forehead, and said with a loving smile: "You little petty ghost, it's really helpless." ”
As she spoke, she sandwiched a basket of fried beef tenderloin for Lan Jiayin, and said softly, "Come, come, come, my mother loves you, my good daughter should eat it quickly." ”
Lan Jiayin saw that her mother was still thinking about eating meat at this time, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, her heart was soft, she didn't say a word, hung her head, and used the tender beef tenderloin.
Mrs. Lan looked relieved, and couldn't help but say, "In my opinion, you should eat here in the morning, there are many people, and it is lively, and it is sweeter." ”
Lan Jiarou was stunned when she heard this, quickly glanced at Hu Qinghui, and said weakly, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" ”
"Father's ......"
Mrs. Lan remembered that there was still Hu Qinghui, a guest, so she stroked her forehead in annoyance and chuckled: "Sister Rou is still careful, I was bluffed." ”
I couldn't help but have a vague thought in my heart, "If Wanwan is also a child of our family, how good would it be?" ”
A breakfast was finished in an extremely warm and harmonious atmosphere, and Mrs. Lan saw that she was about to leave, so she had to ask Mama Kong and Mama Zhou a few words.
ordered not to let my brother and sister go to the water's edge, and asked Hu's mother to stay behind to help take care of the two little ones, so Sister Rou took Brother Hao and Sister Lin to the East Wing.
"Mother, why don't you let Sister Rou go to the Hou Mansion with you?" Lan Jiayin watched the group go out and couldn't help but ask.
After a few months of contact, Lan Jiayin has some understanding of this third sister, who had no sense of existence in her previous life, and she really can't get bored.
After all, this person looks cowardly and timid, he is cautious and cautious in what he says and does, and he also has a respectful attitude towards Lan Jiayin.
Lan Jiayin knew that her mother had brought someone here, and nine times out of ten she wanted to stay.
Isn't it a contradiction that he plans to find his husband's family here and is not allowed to go out to the banquet?
Mrs. Lan took a sip of the fragrant tea that had just been served by the ink painting, and said lightly, "What's the hurry, we still have to stay here for three years, and there is a lot of time." ”
"Now I have to take a closer look, what kind of heart is this child, and I will be able to choose someone for her in the future, right?"
"With Hu's mother at home, I'm very relieved."
Almost instantly, Lan Jiayin understood the meaning of her mother's move, Mrs. Lan deliberately let Sister Rou and Brother Hao, and Sister Lin be close, but she secretly made people stare at her.
If Sister Rou is a good one, she will naturally be safe, but if Sister Rou has other thoughts in her heart, she must rely on two children to make waves.
In other words, as long as Brother Hao and Sister Lin have been safe and sound, then Lan Jiarou is really well-behaved, if something happens to the two little ones, they must be inseparable from Lan Jiarou's handwriting.
Thinking that Lan Jiarou seemed to be safe and worry-free, but in fact, if she moved slightly, she would face the situation of being beaten back to her true face, Lan Jiayin couldn't help but have a touch of sadness on her face.
Mrs. Lan wanted to enlighten her daughter, but Hu Qinghui smiled and said, "Auntie just go and prepare, we should almost go." ”
In the smiling eyes, it was hinted that Mrs. Lan would help explain Lan Jiayin.
That's fine, in fact, among peers, there are some things that are easy to say, Mrs. Lan smiled and took the egret and others into the bedroom.
"I don't know what you think, in my opinion, it's understandable for my aunt to do this, after all, Sister Rou and you are a family connected by blood." Hu Qinghui saw that she and Lan Jiayin were in the house, and she didn't shy away from talking about it, "Besides, we still have two younger ones by our side, Brother Hao and Sister Lin." ”
"The identities of the two of them are special, if something happens, how can they explain when they go back? Not to mention, Lan Jiayu's girl will never let go easily, even if she is not afraid of her, but she is worried about it in vain, isn't it? ”
"If you want me to say, the people who are close to the two children will be tested like this to be relieved, and they won't have to worry if they can't see it."
"Qinqing, in fact, if you think about it, if Sister Rou'er is really good, then all this has no effect on her at all, and there will even be benefits to repay her true kindness."
"On the contrary, it is also her own fault, and the fruit she brews is bitter or astringent, sweet or sour, and she can only swallow it."
Lan Jiayin couldn't help but be a little moved and a little funny when she saw her explain herself seriously, in fact, needless to say, she also understood, but she was a little emotional just now, no matter where she was, no matter how many people there were, as long as she was in the back house, she would inevitably have to face these rights and wrongs.
She really couldn't hide after running for a thousand miles, she chuckled, "Alas, I just think that in this world, the most difficult human skin to wear, you are poor, you have to calculate for firewood, rice, oil and salt, eat a full stomach, and wear warm clothes." ”
"You are a rich man, you have to worry about your parents, you have more money and less worry, you have money and no power, and you have to worry about being remembered, I am most afraid that the official family will come to find trouble, and a little thing can ruin your family."
"If you are an official eunuch, you have to worry more about it, personal contacts, family interests, and even care about the affairs of the court, the lifeblood of the country......"
When Lan Jiayin said this, she slapped her legs and sighed, "This is a difficult scripture for every family to read, and no one is necessarily better than another." ”
Hu Qinghui listened carefully to what his friend said, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but smile, put his hands together and said: "That's why the Bodhisattva will make people wholeheartedly good." ”
"As the saying goes, 'everything has a cause and effect', as long as we are worthy of our conscience and don't do those things that are immoral, retribution will not be retributed to you and me."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and said sincerely, "Ah Buddha Mita." ”
Lan Jiayin listened to this Buddha horn, and felt much more at ease, and laughed at herself, "I really want to see my old friend, is it so nervous?" ”
"Don't you know that the more times like this, the more you have to be calm."
She muttered to herself in her heart, trying to be peaceful and fluctuating, and only hoped that after arriving at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion for a while, her state of mind would be peaceful and calm.
"Fifth Miss, Miss Hui, Madame has already packed up, please move the two of you." At this moment, the soft satin curtain embroidered with lilies was lifted, and Qiu Sha passed the word with a smile.
Mrs. Lan had already cleaned up in the morning, and just now it was just a mend, and the hairpin shook the jade hairpin in a step, so the speed was not slow.
The three masters went to the banquet, followed by the servants who went to serve, there were twenty people, bustling out of the hanging flower gate, and Lan Hongsen, who was waiting here, Lin Huaide met his head, stopped for a while, and quickly boarded the carriage and went to today's destination - the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Xuanping Hou Mansion and Pingjing Mansion are located in the same inner city, but Xuanping Hou Mansion is south of the place, which was the closest to the outer city at first, at the earliest, the Great Zhou Dynasty had just established a dynasty, Rong Di took advantage of the internal instability of the Great Zhou, but he did not plunder around Pingjing.
At any time, when they wanted to come, the Rongdi people came on horseback and with bows.
The location of the Hou Mansion is close to the outer city, in fact, it is also for the enemy to attack, and the Hou of Xuanping can be at the forefront of the battlefield at the first time.
However, with the development of a hundred years, the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty has become more and more stable, and with the efforts of the successive Xuanping Marquis, Rong Di was beaten and hurt, and gradually, only in the most difficult time of winter, he would desperately come to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty to grab food and people.
After the three major passes on the periphery were completed, the battle line against Rong Di was basically far away from Pingjing City.
Unconsciously, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was surrounded by extra streets and alleys, and instead became the center of Pingjing, the most important place.
The two prefectures are located in the same inner city, calculate the distance between them, and the distance is not too far, but the interval is the most lively streets in Pingjing, at this time, in order to save time, the coachman is a detour in the streets and alleys, and it is impossible to get there without half an hour.
Don't look at the coachman who will turn left for a while, turn right for a while, and walk very cheerfully, but the South Street is how to get around, the South Street is the most prosperous street in the south, which is mostly restaurants, tea houses, and all kinds of shops selling special snacks.
Along the way, I could smell the tempting fragrance coming in from outside, and then listening to the crisp shouts of the small traders outside, the gluttonous insects in Lan Jiayin's stomach were restless.
Why do you feel like you want something to eat when you've just eaten?
At this moment, the closed car door was opened from the outside, and the bell climbed in with a smile, handed Jinzhu two packets of things wrapped in kraft paper, and said crisply: "Miss, these are all given to the maid by the little county king, saying that it is the most famous gourd chicken on Nanshui Street, as well as peanut halva, let the two of you taste it." ”
"The fourth son of our family said, let you taste it, so as not to be rude when you are a guest for a while."
Jinzhu took the kraft paper bag to the chest of drawers of the Eight Blessings and opened it, and used the silver chopsticks handed by Cui Yu, the fragrant chicken nuggets, and the peanut halva that looked at the layers of peanut halva, each picked a plate, and put it on the table for the two masters to use.
Then he asked Cui Yu to find a larger tray, packed one, and sent it to the bell and the driver at the door of the car.
In the end, he put a small plate for himself and Cui Yu, and the two knelt behind the master to taste it.
Not to mention, even if it can be called a special snack, the two things that Lin Huaide bought really have their own characteristics, and they are delicious.
Among them, the gourd chicken and the stewed chicken and roast chicken in the capital are all different, but they are steamed first and then fried, the skin is golden, the tendons are flavorful, the chicken is crispy, but it is not greasy at all, the fragrance is mellow, and then with the special pepper salt, it is simply delicious and makes people can't stop chopsticks.
The other is a dessert, peanut halva, which is made by mixing peanuts and sugar, peanuts have more sugar and less sugar, crispy, crispy and delicious, but not sweet and greasy, Lan Jiayin feels that it is more delicious than the pine nut candy in the capital.
No matter how delicious it is, you can't eat too much.
Fortunately, Lan Jiayin and Hu Qinghui are both self-controlled people, and they only tasted two bites before letting them take it, but their eyes couldn't help but follow the brocade beads who cleaned up the dishes, and they were obviously a little reluctant.
"Cough, cough, cough." Lan Jiayin, who found this strange state, deliberately cleared his throat, took a sip of fragrant tea, and then said to his friend opposite with a smile: "Pingjing has the most such snacks, and you won't have to worry about running out of new things in the future." ”
"According to me, when I come back later, let people buy some more, but there are still people at home who haven't tasted it."
