Chapter Twenty-Five: Joy and Sorrow Before the Flowers
The spring in Liaodong is later than that of Jingling, it is already the spring of March, the air is still a little cool, and from time to time there are some unfinished snowflakes, although the snow at the moment is not as big as the midwinter wax moon, but there is also a feeling of being indispensable.
Kong Miaoling was taken by Shen Huaixin all day long, either with him to see the school, or to the hospital, as well as Najishitang.
After that, Shen Huaixin was forcibly taken to the army by Shen Boyong, and there were fewer people there, and Kong Miaoling also had leisure time, but he still went to Jishitang on the first day of the new year.
On the first day of the new year, I told Kong Miaoling a lot about Shen Huaixin, such as how he founded a school and founded Jishitang.
On the first day of the new year, he said that he himself was a person in Jishitang, but it was not called Jishitang at that time, and Shen Huaixin was not yet twenty years old, he was hungry at that time, so he had the courage to enter the Shuai Mansion to steal something to eat, but he didn't expect to be caught and beaten to death, he said that he didn't know kung fu at that time, and he didn't have much strength, and when he fainted, a well-dressed young master came out, only with a "slow"
words, and it saved his life.
Kong Miaoling smiled and said, "He must have said something else, but you fainted." ”
On the first day of the new year, he said, "Before I went, I calculated a hexagram for myself, and the hexagram said that I could turn evil into good fortune and meet nobles." So you see, I met the young master. ”
Kong Miaoling was surprised, "Do you know how to tell a hexagram?" ”
On the first day of the new year, he smiled, revealing a sense of innocence, "I used to read the Book of Changes with a fortune teller, so I know a little bit about it." ”
Kong Miaoling's eyes lit up, "Then you can help me calculate, I'm going to make apricot blossom hibiscus soup tonight?" Or is it better to make white fungus lotus seed soup? ”
New Year's eyes dimmed, "In my opinion, young lady, don't do both, it's the best." ”
Kong Miaoling entered the Shen family by herself, and won Shen Boyong's heart because she gave Shen Boyong a lot of ideas, but it also aroused Shen Huaijin's dissatisfaction.
At first, she was suspected that she didn't do any housework, but then Miao Ling learned to do it, and she didn't do it well, and she was slow.
These are still secondary, the most important thing is cooking, Shen Boyong has a bad stomach, he is very picky about food, Shen Huaijin used to cook, as soon as Kong Miaoling entered the door, she simply didn't care, Kong Miaoling was reprimanded by Shen Boyong for the first time when she cooked, and she was very faceless, Shen Huaixin secretly invited someone to do it and made fun of Shen Huaijin.
In the end, Kong Miaoling had to teach herself to sell herself, and when she served Shen Boyong's tongue well, she still couldn't pass Shen Huaijin's level.
It just so happened that Shen Huaijin was happy again, and the Shen family attached great importance to it, especially when it came to eating, it was not a little difficult for Kong Miaoling.
Shen Huaixin was already angry in his confidence, and bluntly said that he wanted to move out, Kong Miaoling was worried that the matter would be too big to clean up, so he tried every means to persuade Shen Huaixin to eliminate this idea.
It's just that Shen Huaijin not only confiscated his hand, but picked it even more fiercely.
Shen Huaixin is busy outside on weekdays, but he still sends some interesting things to Miao Ling every day on the first day of the new year, and he often bumps into Shen Huaijin reprimanding Miao Ling in front of his subordinates, and he himself is aggrieved by this young lady.
On the first day of the new year, when he went back to Shen Huaixin to restore his life, his face was not very good, Shen Huaixin asked again and again, thinking that Kong Miaoling was in poor health and wanted to put aside his affairs and go back to take care of Miaoling.
At the beginning of the year, I didn't want to say it, worried that others would think that he was suspected of provoking, but now that Shen Huaixin was in a hurry, he had to say the reason.
Shen Huaixin was displeased at the moment and said, "I will tell my father about moving out tonight, and she will ask whoever she likes to eat and make it." ”
Shen Huaixin's heart had already run to Miaoling, and he returned to the Shuai Mansion early, and before he had time to take off his coat, he went straight into the kitchen, went up and grabbed Kong Miaoling's arm and was about to leave, Kong Miaoling was stunned for a moment, broke free, and said, "What's wrong?" The face stinks. ”
There is also a maid Chun'er Xing'er in the kitchen, when she saw Shen Huaixin's posture, no one dared to squeak, Chun'er was more clever in the end, and she pulled Xing'er and left.
"Your hands are not specially designed to cook for her, let's go, I'll take you out to eat, a new Western restaurant has opened, and I heard that the steaks in it are very authentic."
Kong Miaoling smiled slightly in understanding, "It must be something that Chu Yi told you, I admit that my sister's mouth is a little difficult to serve, but my hands are really not for her, but I have to do this, if you really feel sorry for me, why don't you help me do it." ”
This time it was Shen Huaixin's turn to be puzzled, so he hurriedly put his palm on Miao Ling's forehead, and then touched his own, "I don't have a fever, how can such a normal person talk nonsense." ”
Miao Ling couldn't help but slap him with a smile, "Who is talking nonsense, you only know one thing and don't know the other, I didn't do this for you." ”
Shen Huaixin said, "Of course I know that you are because of me, but I said earlier, you don't have to be so wronged by yourself." ”
"You misunderstood, I learned cooking also for the comfort of you in the future, isn't there a saying that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach."
Shen Huaixin couldn't help but smile and hugged Miao Ling, Miao Ling didn't dare to touch him with flour on his hands, but he didn't expect him to make such an intimate action in the kitchen, his face turned red and he said angrily, "You let go of me, so that people should laugh when they see it." ”
"That's called envy and jealousy."
Shen Huaixin still obediently let go of his hand, and then quickly took down an apron from the wall, and put it on himself anyway, Miao Ling looked at it, smiled and leaned back, and hurriedly wiped his hands to help him get it, Shen Huaixin took the opportunity to hold her hands and stick her tightly to his back, and his eyes carefully observed whether Miao Ling's fingers had become rough because of housework.
He rubbed back and forth, feeling that Miao Ling's skin was thin and smooth, and his ten fingers were slender and white and tender like green onions, and he was really reluctant to let go.
"Shall I come back early in the future and cook with you?"
Miao Ling was surprised, "What's the trouble, don't you know that men can't go down to the kitchen." ”
"If I don't cook a good dish, I will serve you and our children in the future."
Miao Ling was ashamed and punched him from behind, "It's going to be nonsense." ”
Shen Huaixin turned around suddenly, looked at Miao Ling affectionately, and then took advantage of her unpreparedness to kiss her on the forehead, Miao Ling was embarrassed, and when he wanted to blame him again, he was already pretending to cook on the side of the case, making Miao Ling cry and laugh.
At dinnertime, because Shen Boyong hadn't come back yet, everyone was waiting.
Liang Shaohui saw that the soup was delicious in color, so he couldn't help but sniff it, not only sighed, "It's so fragrant, it's really full of color and flavor." ”
Shen Huaijin next to him was very dissatisfied, glared at him fiercely, he immediately understood, and hurriedly added, "Uh... It's just that I haven't eaten it yet, and if it's just colored and fragrant, it tastes bad, and it's a good soup. ”
Shen Huaixin said angrily, "What my brother-in-law said is that I am afraid that some people are deliberately tricky, even if it is Cixi's Manchu and Han banquet back then, it is estimated that it will not be to her taste." ”
Shen Huaijin was unhappy, "Who is the second brother talking about?" ”
Shen Huaixin didn't give up, "Whoever deliberately makes things difficult will say whom." ”
Shen Huaijin was angry, "Are you accusing me?" It's your daughter-in-law's poor craftsmanship, I'm just telling the truth, but you hate me so much, I see, you're almost forgetting what your last name is. ”
Shen Huaixin said in a heartfelt manner, "Of course Huaixin doesn't dare to forget, but although some people always remember what their surname is, they never do anything that can add luster to this surname, which is really embarrassing." ”
"Shen Huaixin! I know I can't talk to you, and you don't have to run me off while my father is away. When I give birth, I will move out with your brother-in-law. ”
"My sister thinks too much, I don't mean that. It's just that if the sister insists on doing so, the younger brother must also support the sister's idea. What's more, it's really inappropriate for my sister to live in her mother's house all the time. ”
"You!"
Shen Huaijin slapped the table and stood up angrily, just when Shen Boyong's scolding came from there.
