Luo Ziqian was very satisfied.

It is naturally a good thing that the daughter-in-law is willing to discipline the concubine. Raising a grandmother may be able to teach the rules, but she can't teach the housekeeper the above things. She is already old, not that she is unwilling to teach, but that she does not have that energy.

Wu took over the matter of teaching Xia Bangqiu, which also reduced her burden.

On her side, there was a summer beginning left. But Xia Chu didn't need her to teach anything, the queen mother had been in charge of the world's largest 'family', what else did she not understand?

So, she's actually pretty idle.

Especially when the two of them are alone, the house is quiet most of the time.

Sometimes, she felt that life had returned to the calmest period of the palace.

At that time, the emperor was in the prime of life, and he loved some fresh colors, whether it was the queen or the concubine, in his eyes, he was probably already old, and he would go to the palace of the concubine to sit in ten days and half a month.

The queen's Kunning Palace is just a routine first and fifteenth day.

She often avoided these two days to go to the queen's palace, and they did not want to be served, so they withdrew from the palace people, and the two stayed alone in the west side hall. The queen reads books alone, and she doesn't care what she does. Sometimes she even dances with a sword, and she is never seen scolding her for being undignified.

Speaking of which, Kunning Palace is worthy of being the queen's bedroom, just a west side hall for a rest, and the big place can jump up and down with her.

When the emperor is old, he remembers these old people, and often goes to the palace at both ends, but they are not often together.

But at that time, her relationship with the queen was already very good.

Now it seems to be back to the past, but all the qiē is reversed.

She rested on the couch and read, and fell asleep when she looked at it, and Xia Chu'an quietly did her own thing, either practicing calligraphy or martial arts.

Time is out of order, but the years are still quiet.

Wu was also very happy, which showed that her mother-in-law believed in her.

Teaching Xia Bangqiu the housekeeper is not in a hurry, and when the Wu family leaves, she stays behind to continue to fight with the embroidery needle.

Isn't it fighting, and every now and then you have to poke yourself twice.

Fortunately, Mei is very patient, and now she is pregnant and she is not good at doing anything, not good at needlework, not good at writing and drawing, so she helps teach her sisters to pass the time.

"Second sister, you made a mistake with these few stitches." Look at the wild ducks on the embroidery shed...... No, it's a mandarin duck, Mei Shi nodded and said. "It should be the other way around, and here we should change the line and use a lighter color."

Xia Bangqiu's eyes were spent, she looked at the colors picked out by Mei, and felt that they were clearly the same.

"That'...... What to do? She was a little at a loss.

She was clumsy and couldn't even embroider cross-stitch, let alone such delicate embroidery.

In those novels, it is said that the heroine went back to ancient times and won praise by cross-stitch, which is simply the biggest lie in history!

The fabric used for cross-stitch is hard cloth, and the thread is also very thick, of course, it is easy to embroider! But now she uses soft satin, with fine eyelets, and there are sixteen, thirty-two or even sixty-four strands of fine thread, just threading the needle yin thread can make her eyeballs cramp, not to mention flying needles! She thinks she's amazing when she can find the right eyelets!

After embroidering for a while, Mei asked her to rest, got up and went to see Xia Chu writing again.

She is now writing hairpins.

However, the words the size of mosquitoes and flies are all beautiful and neat, and the whole page is swept over, and there is not even a little ink mark, which makes people feel comfortable.

Just looking at the demeanor of the beginning of summer, there is still a little carelessness.

Mei looked at it and felt envious.

How old is early summer? ** years old, just write such a good word.

Besides, she still has a lot of homework to do on weekdays, she has to read and practice calligraphy, practice martial arts, and learn the piano to learn female popularity.

And learn everything quickly and well, this is talent.

Of course, talent is not enough, but also concentration and patience, sitting still, steady, and upright.

Mei asked herself, when she was so big with her, she would definitely not be able to be so serious.

How can there be such a big child who doesn't like to play? But Xia Chu never mentioned it, nor did she shout that she was tired, and she could do everything she wanted to do seriously. Sometimes when I go to her room to read, it seems like I'm resting.

It's really hard to find the slightest bit of bad stuff.

She touched her body, which was only four months old, and her waist was already thicker, and her belly was a little bulging.

If the baby is a girl, it is better to be as clever as her aunt.

At the beginning of the summer, when she had written a full page, she stopped writing and was not surprised to see Mei standing behind her.

"Why is my sister-in-law standing here? I don't even know! She smiled, of course she knew that Mei was there, and she was not very attentive when she wrote.

She has been writing that word for decades, no matter how casual she is, she will not make a mistake.

Mei didn't know, and praised: "That's because you write seriously, which is very good." ”

Xia Chu smiled a little embarrassedly and did not refute.

Xia Bangqiu also got up to look.

She has only learned calligraphy for a few years, worked hard, and now she can barely see people.

But compared to the beginning of summer, it is too unsatisfactory.

"The third sister wrote it really well." She said enviously.

Xia Bangqiu simply thinks it's good, she doesn't appreciate calligraphy and painting, she thinks it's good-looking and upright, it's all good.

I don't understand it, but comparing it with myself is excellent.

"The second sister also has her own Qiaozong, why envy me?" Xia Chu tilted his head, and his dark eyes were as lustrous as a jewel: "The second sister will cook a lot of food, so I won't be big." ”

This is the truth, the queen mother will only eat, where can she cook? Although I learned a few dishes when I was in my mother's house, I didn't cook them for decades, and I was already rusty.

She has no talent for cooking at all, and can barely eat.

Xia Bangqiu is different, the same dim sum, she tastes better every time she makes it, this is all tried.

That's why she said it very sincerely.

Xia Bangqiu said in his heart: That's because you haven't eaten Christine and Häagen-Dazs......

No matter how much she tried, because the ancient tools were limited, she couldn't restore that flavor.

I have some regrets in my heart.

Maybe it was because she was hit too much, and she never became complacent because she made something new.

At the beginning of Xia, when he mentioned eating, Xia Bangqiu suddenly had itchy hands and wanted to try cooking.

It's past noon, and it's almost time for dinner.

"Then I'll cook two dishes for you today, okay?"

Xia Chuxin sighed a little, this girl is also stupid, just make snacks, it can be said that she reads books and ponders by herself, this cooking skill is passed down by word of mouth, and few recipes in the world have been handed down.

This has to make a few more dishes that have not been eaten before, and others will be even more suspicious.

Fortunately, she has been in the kitchen a lot in recent years, and now that she brings it up, no one will make too much of a fuss.

People who have never been in the kitchen are suddenly able to cook delicious food, and that's what a horror it is!

"It's for my grandmother," Xia Chu reminded her, "I and my sister-in-law are rubbing vegetables." ”

Mei also smiled: "Very much! ”

Xia Bangqiu smiled embarrassedly and looked at Luo Ziqian, who was above him: "Grandmother, I'll make two dishes today...... How about a home-cooked meal for you? ”

Luo Ziqian had already heard them talking, so he nodded.

Xia Bangqiu happily entered the kitchen.

At dinner, there are two more dishes on the table: a glutinous rice pork rib and a vinegared eel.

I didn't forget to send one to the big house.

The glutinous rice pork ribs are soft and glutinous and fragrant, and the vinegared eel silk is sweet and sour, which are all very appetizing dishes.

At present, several of the cooks in the house are from the north, but these two dishes are southern cuisines, and the methods are fresh, not only the masters eat happily, but even the cooks and maids who help are eye-opening.

Of course, Xia Bangqiu said that she was cooking, but in fact, the work was done by others, so she just started to make a taste, and the rest moved her mouth.

She doesn't have that good knife skills.

When the dish came out of the pot, she tasted it, and the taste made her startled.

It's not her craft at all.

Praised by everyone, Xia Bangqiu felt a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's all made by the chef, I just moved my mouth." ”

"Second sister, don't be humble, if it weren't for you, the cook wouldn't be able to do this." Mei Shi hurriedly said: "It's been hot these days, I can't eat, but I have eaten half a bowl more today!" I'm afraid I'm going to accumulate food, second sister, you have to walk with me to eliminate food. ”

Xia Chu pursed his lips and snickered.

Mei's pregnancy began to occur when she was two months old, and she ate and vomited for a whole month, and she lost a lot of weight.

Xia Yi couldn't feel at ease when he went to school, so he searched everywhere for prescriptions for morning sickness and sent them home, jumping up and down in a hurry, but he didn't get any better. You can use pickled plums to press them, but you can't eat them as rice! If you eat too much, you will lose your teeth!

By the time she showed that she was no longer pregnant with morning sickness, the weather was already very hot. On such a day, a good person can't eat much, let alone a pregnant woman?

Now that it is the height of summer, Mei's appetite suddenly increases, and she feels full just by watching her eat at every meal.

However, it is also true that she said that she ate half a bowl of rice today, and it is not harmful for pregnant women to move around more.

Every day at the beginning of summer, I would walk with her for a quarter of an hour after dinner.

Looking at Mei's meaning today, it is to let Xia Bangqiu accompany her to go around.

Xia Bangqiu also knew that Mei was joking with her, and also smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

The maids had just cleaned up the table, Xia Bangqiu and Mei were about to go for a walk, and Mama Gu walked in with a white post in her hand.

"What's going on?" Luo Ziqian's face was grim.

"The old lady asked someone to send this in, saying that it was the old man of the Dingguo General's Mansion, and it was gone today." Mama Gu lowered her head and said.

"Didn't you just say a while ago that Chongyang is going to celebrate its sixtieth birthday in the near future?" Luo Ziqian was stunned for a moment and raised his head. The old man in the Dingguo General's Mansion is only fifty-nine years old this year, much younger than her and Old Man Xia, and he is a martial arts practitioner, and he is very healthy on weekdays, but the news came too suddenly: "Why not?" ”

Mama Gu shook her head and said, "It's a sudden illness, and it's dangerous, and it suddenly collapsed, and the doctor will ...... Already went. ”

Xia Bangqiu listened intently, as if he had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

"Got it," perhaps thinking of himself, Luo Ziqian suddenly felt a little tired, waved his hand, and said, "Tell your subordinates to get ready!" As before, it was. ”

Mama Gu answered yes, then retreated, and ordered people to prepare funeral rites, plain clothes and other things for mourning.

General Dingguo's family has been friends with the Xia family in the past two years, and he went to it twice at the beginning of Xia, once for the birthday banquet of their old lady, and once for the flower tasting party invited by the general's wife in person.

At the birthday feast, I had seen the old man from afar, and he was a very powerful man, with a red face and a body as strong as an ox.

Who would have thought that such an old general, who was rarely sick, would disappear silently.

"Go back!" Luo Ziqian spoke out and sent away Mei and Xia Bangqiu, who were standing in the house, and looked at Mei again: "You are heavy, don't go tomorrow to mourn you, so as not to collide." ”

"I see, grandmother." Mei's busy blessed body.

"Second sister, I'm bothering you to send your sister-in-law back to the room." The beginning of summer to the summer and the autumn road.

Xia Wanqiu was stunned before he said: "What's this, it's just a matter of the way, and I need you to ask for it." ”

Xia Chu smiled.

Xia Bangqiu left with Mei's.

Xia Chu looked at Luo Ziqian and saw that her face had recovered indifferently, as if her previous stunned was just an illusion of others.

"All of you go down!" She spoke out and dismissed the maids in the house.

Luo Ziqian has always favored her, because her status in Cihetang is quite high, maybe Uncle Xia Yan is here, and what she said is not as good as what she said. Therefore, with just a faint word, the maids walked out one after another.

"Why did you take everyone away?" Luo Ziqian glanced at her and said, "I'm fine." ”

I really got angry when I saw her knowing face.

It's not true anger...... It's just that I always feel that the slightest mistake will be discovered by her, so I'm just a little unhappy.

Pushing themselves and others, the one in the Dingguo General's Mansion, who is younger than them, went before them, so what about them?

In the end, the youth is gone.

She is not as good as Xia Chu, she has been reincarnated since she was a child, but she came halfway, and she has no impression of what kind of life she lived when she was a child. Originally, I thought that I had won a life for nothing, but I had a comparison at the beginning of summer, but I suddenly felt that I had lost.

If only she could start all over again...... probably won't pick a man like Xia Hui.

He is too ordinary, ordinary and unremarkable, except for a skin that can be seen, she can't find more advantages.

He can't do martial arts, and he can't do business, if it weren't for the luck of his ancestors, where would he come from to be an official?

But after such an ordinary day, I feel very happy.

I don't know how long these happiness can last?

"I know you're fine, I just want to feel comfortable talking to you!" Xia Chu sat next to her, took her arm and smiled.

"Hey, birth, old age, sickness and death are just that, people always have that kind of experience." How did Luo Ziqian not know that she was fooling herself? She didn't shy away from it, after all, the two of them were both people who had died once. "I just don't know, when I am reincarnated, will I still remember you?"

"You'd better forget!" Xia Chu said: "It's good if you don't remember." ”

Sometimes remember that it doesn't have to be happiness. (To be continued.) )
