Bishui Pavilion, in the summer it is an overcrowded place, the ladies and ladies of each courtyard like to come to this side of the world to take a cool, enjoy a flower, watch the fish for a while, chat, a big group of girls, it is difficult to ask for a clean, but once the red lotus in the pool is only left with dead branches and leaves, who has the leisure to see the depressed scene of the pond? Except, of course, Xia Xue'er. The closer she gets to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the more she becomes more and more silent, often coming to the Bishui Pavilion alone, and sitting all day. Whether the wind is beautiful or the north wind is howling, there is always a different scenery in different weather.

"When the lotus leaves are born, spring hates life, and when the lotus leaves wither, autumn hates them.

I know that I am in love for a long time, and I look forward to the sound of the river. ”

"Poetry is good poetry, but it's too pretentious, not good, not good."

Suddenly, a slightly smiling voice sounded in the pavilion, Xia Xue'er turned her head to look, and saw that the person who came was the person who picked up the paper kite yesterday, just looking at the materials in the purple clothes, I knew that this person's identity was very unusual, but I couldn't guess who it was, and I hadn't heard of a distinguished guest visiting the house in the past few days.

Xia Xue'er stood up and said in a slightly unhappy tone: "Could it be that Childe likes to appear in front of people so much?" ”

Mu Feiyang was stunned, he didn't expect Xia Xue'er to talk to him like this, but then he thought that the other party didn't know his true identity, even if he was rude, he couldn't blame it, so he replied with a smile: "Suddenly appeared?" That's the surprise! ”

Xia Xue'er glanced at him, and said faintly: "It's fright!" ”

At this time, Xia Qi happened to come to the Bishui Pavilion, and when he heard the words of the third sister, he hurriedly said: "Third sister, don't be rude!" ”

Mu Feiyang waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's okay." ”

Xia Xue'er saw that her eldest brother looked respectful to Mu Feiyang, and the guess in her heart could be determined, the person in front of her was really not the son of an ordinary rich and noble family. It's just that he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is about the same age as his second brother, so he can't be a powerful person in the court, could it be a certain prince?

Xia Qi saw the doubts in his sister's heart, and stepped forward to introduce: "This is Mu Gongzi, a distinguished guest in the house. ”

Xia Xue'er gently and politely bowed to Mu Feiyang, and said: "I haven't heard of visitors from the mansion before, and I have offended a lot, so I look at Mu Gongzi Haihan." ”

Mu Feiyang smiled elegantly and said, "The so-called ignorant is not guilty, I quite appreciate your personality." Then he stared at Xia Xue'er's little face, and said with a twisted and interesting expression:

"The flowers and leaves in the world are not compatible, and the flowers are dusty in the golden pots.

Only the green lotus and red lotus are innocent.

This flower and this leaf often reflect each other, and the emerald reduces the red decay and kills. ”

Seeing this, Xia Xue'er did not avoid Mu Feiyang's inquiring eyes, raised her little face and looked directly at Mu Feiyang's slender Danfeng eyes and said, "Mu Gongzi's poems are also good poems, but they are not harmonious. Now there are only these dead branches and leaves left in the green lotus pond, a depression, how can you see half a bright color? ”

Mu Feiyang shook the folding fan in his hand, lowered his head and brought his face to the same height as Xia Xue'er, and said jokingly: "What I want to say is 'Cui Reduces Red Decay and Kills', the girl doesn't have to be sad all day long when she is young, Li Shangyin is not suitable for girls." ”

Xia Xue'er paced away, sneered and said, "Could it be that what Gongzi Fang just chanted was not from Li Shangyin's hand?" ”

Mu Feiyang choked for a while, and couldn't help but sigh that the little woman's thinking was so agile, but this speech was really clever.

Xia Xue'er didn't want to continue arguing with him here, so she turned her body and said, "The little girl has to go to her mother to say goodbye, so she will say goodbye first." With that, he turned around and walked out of the Bishui Pavilion.

Mu Feiyang looked at Xia Xue'er's departing back, remembered the handsome face that was not shocked, and said meaningfully: "Your third sister is really interesting, and it is really amazing." ”

Xia Qi only smiled and said nothing after hearing this. His third sister is indeed a quirky girl, and she is absolutely gentle and virtuous when she treats people who are pleasing to the eye, and everyone's beautiful demeanor is vividly expressed. I never force a smile on someone I don't like, and I can definitely beat each other to the ground!

Xia Xue'er came to Yalanxuan alone, and before she entered the door, she met Mama Gui who hurriedly went out. Mama Gui saluted her, looked behind her and said, "Why doesn't the third lady take a girl to serve when she goes out?" ”

Xia Xue'er replied: "Be a little cleaner, I'm used to it." Seeing that Mama Gui looked like she was burning and hairless, she asked again, "Mama is in a hurry to go out?" ”

Mama Gui replied in a somewhat anxious tone, "Madame has ordered some things to be dealt with immediately. ”

Xia Xue'er knew that it must be a big deal to make Mama Gui anxious, but she didn't ask much and only ordered: "Then Mama go quickly!" ”

Before leaving, Mama Gui instructed: "Madame is angry now, and the third lady should be enlightened and enlightened after she enters." ”

Xia Xue'er smiled and said, "I know, Mama, you can go with confidence!" ”

After Mama Gui left, Xia Xue'er pushed open the courtyard door, but before she stepped into it, she saw two women kneeling in the courtyard, and walked straight past the two kneeling servants, and entered the house full of doubts.

Xia Xue'er hurriedly walked over and asked softly, "What caused my mother to be so angry?" If the subordinates are not doing well, then send them to sweep the garden, why be so angry. ”

When Mrs. Xia saw that Xia Xue'er was coming, she was worried that she would scare the child, so she hurriedly gathered some anger, and said with a look of hatred: "It's not that this Mid-Autumn Festival moon cake thing is provoking, it's really sad to death!" ”

After hearing this, Xia Xue'er asked with a puzzled face: "Is there something wrong with this year's moon cakes?" ”

"The mother-in-law in charge of making zuò pastries is greedy and cuts corners!" As he spoke, he picked up the moon cake on the table and said angrily: "Look at this moon cake, the skin is thick and the filling is less, how can you get it?" ”

According to the custom of previous years, every Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xia family will give homemade zuò mooncakes to relatives and friends as a token of blessing. But this year's moon cakes have been made into this virtue, how can they still give it away? It's no wonder that Mrs. Xia is so angry, fortunately, she found out in time, otherwise she wouldn't have been poked in the back by relatives and friends!

Xia Xue'er poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Xia, and intimately persuaded: "Mother's mother first drink tea to dissipate her anger, the moon cakes are not good, you can redo them, anyway, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

Mrs. Xia took the tea and put it on the table and said, "Xue'er, you don't know the seriousness of these things. This Mid-Autumn Festival temperance zuò moon cake is the tradition left by the ancestors, every household is like this, and now there is not much left of the ingredients in this market. The Xia family has a wide range of popularity, and there are more relationships that need to be dotted, and hundreds of moon cakes are made every year, and this filling alone is a large amount. Who knew that this year's pastry woman actually moved greedily, and when she bought the filling, she swallowed some of the money and silver, which was not enough, and now she has made these inferior things that can't be used, and she wants to redo it, where can I buy this filling? ! ”

Xia Xue'er only felt the severity of the matter when she heard this, in ancient times, there was no cold storage for storing food than in the 21st century, and it was normal for food to be short here, and it was really tricky. "Mother-in-law doesn't have to be in a hurry to get angry, since that's the case, then I have to think of other ways."

Mrs. Xia sighed deeply, looked at her daughter and said helplessly: "It happened suddenly, if there is really nothing to be done, then you can only bother your father to write a post and apologize for the crime, hey, what is this doing!" ”

Xia Xue'er raised her eyes and saw the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and said in a flash of inspiration: "Mother, my daughter has a way, maybe it can be used!" ”

Mrs. Xia's eyes lit up, and she took her daughter's hand and said, "Mother knows that you have a lot of ideas, so you might as well say it for your mother to hear!" ”

"You can use flower petals instead of minced meat to make flower mooncakes!"

Mrs. Xia looked at her suspiciously: "Flower mooncakes? Niang knows that flowers can be made into various snacks, such as osmanthus crisp, but this moon cake is baked differently from other pastries, using flowers instead of meat filling? ”

"Of course! Although the baking methods are different, they are all similar, such as osmanthus, yueji, chrysanthemum, lily, these flowers are edible, and there are ready-made ones in the garden, no need to look around, isn't it much easier than meat filling? And the unique fragrance of flowers is a natural spice that can make mooncakes more delicious. ”

Mrs. Xia said thoughtfully: "It sounds good, but it's also novel, but I don't know if it's feasible." ”

Xia Xue'er volunteered: "Why don't I make a few for my mother to taste first, and then make a decision?" ”

Mrs. Xia looked at her daughter with a surprised look and asked, "Will you do it?" ”

Xia Xue'er replied with a smile: "I figured it out by myself in the small kitchen before." In fact, flower cake is a kind of pastry that she often makes at home in the 21st century, and she has not tried it since she crossed over, and she doesn't know if she can succeed, but everything needs to be tried, or how can she know if it will work.

Mrs. Xia knew that her daughter was ingenious, knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and that the female workers were even better than the embroiderers, but she had never heard of when she liked to cook, and she also studied dim sum. But she had nothing to do, so she could only reluctantly nod and say, "Okay then." ”

So, Xia Xue'er, who had nothing to do all day long and could only think wildly, finally found a place to use. First took the maids to pick flower petals in the garden, and then rolled up their sleeves and went into the kitchen to develop flower mooncakes.

Xia Xue'er looked at her mother and tasted the mooncakes she made one by one, and asked eagerly, "How is it?" ”

Mrs. Xia finally had a smile on her face, and returned truthfully: "The fragrance of flowers is even more intense after baking, and the sweetness of flour is mixed together, complementing each other, and it has a general taste, which is really good!" It's just that it's been baked for a little longer, and the skin is a little burnt. ”

Xia Xue'er touched her head shyly and said, "I have raw hands, and I can't master the heat well, so it would be good if I let the pastry lady make it." ”

"Okay, then you go down and make arrangements, this matter will be left to you, there is only one point, it must be completed tomorrow!"

Xia Xue'er jumped up happily and said, "Thank you, mother!" ”

Next, Xia Xue'er transferred sixty subordinates from the house in one go, divided into four groups, led by Dongmei, Xianglan, Cuizhu and Qiuju, to pick different petals, and she went into the kitchen to be a little teacher.

Mrs. Xia looked at her daughter's busy figure, and was very relieved, she knew how to solve problems for her mother at a young age, and if she had a daughter like this, what reason was there not to be happy?
