Chapter 5: Master Xie Yuan (1)
It's May, and the weather is extremely hot this year, so Jinyu doesn't want to move anymore, but thanks to the generous young man, Cheng Niangzi doesn't plan to sell herbal tea for the time being, so Jinyu also has time to observe her father, who has been a little weird recently, by the way, be lazy.
According to Jinyu's observation, this father seems to have become a lot more shy, how to say it, that is, after seeing Cheng Niangzi, he will always blush inexplicably, and he always does not have sex with Cheng Niangzi at night on the grounds that he is not feeling well.
Jinyu touched her chin, I don't know why a thought suddenly popped up in her head, could it be, this so-called daddy is not the original daddy at all, Jinyu was startled by the idea that suddenly came to her, and then shook her head again.
"Miaomiao, come on, do me a favor!" Cheng Niangzi shouted in the kitchen, and Jinyu had no choice but to get up and run to the kitchen
Jinyu came to the kitchen and saw Cheng Niangzi steaming things, so she stepped forward curiously and asked, "Mother, what are you doing here?" ”
"Make some noodles and fruits, see that your father has lost his appetite these days, hurry up and help me light the fire." Jinyu hurriedly squatted down to light the fire for Cheng Niangzi, this stove Jinyu doesn't know how many times she used it, when she was in the nunnery, she was always alone when it was cold and I fell asleep by the stove, so I always made a gray face, many people in the nunnery laughed at her, but correspondingly, Jinyu is very good at the work in the kitchen, and there is an old nun who is very good at cooking in the nunnery, it is said that she is the palace maid in the former palace.
Regardless of the reliability of these words, the old nun's food is really delicious, Jinyu learned a lot from her, and the old nun was also very good to Jinyu, but the old nun froze to death on a winter night.
This kind of thing is all too common in this forgotten nunnery.
Jinyu wiped her eyes.
Cheng Niangzi saw Jinyu's face like a little cat, she suddenly lost a smile, took out the handkerchief in her arms and wiped Jinyu's face, and said, "You see that you have made your face, you go to accompany your father, don't make trouble for me here." After saying that, he drove Jinyu out.
When Jinyu came outside the house, she didn't know why she remembered her mother-in-law in Zhang's mansion before, and the mother-in-law at that time was always full of sadness, looking at the prosperous scenery outside the window, but she never saw a smile.
At that time, Jinyu knew everything, so she thought that her mother was just afraid, afraid of a place like her, but later, she realized that her mother hated that place.
Jinyu let out a long sigh of relief.
She came to the small study on the right, Daddy was looking at a miscellaneous book, Jinyu was a little surprised, Daddy had never read these things before, in his words, this kind of book that is not conducive to the art of reading people, it is better not to read, but Jinyu liked to read it very much in the past, and Cheng Niangzi especially liked to listen to Jinyu.
Because Cheng Niangzi is illiterate.
"It's coming." Zhang Weiwen put down the book in his hand and looked at Jinyu with a smile, Jinyu had an illusion at this time, as if every qiē in his previous life was an illusion and a dream.
"Daddy, what are you looking at?" Jinyu asked.
"A miscellaneous book about a violin-maker is a bit interesting." Zhang Weiwen said with a smile, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Didn't Daddy always like reading books like miscellaneous notes?" Jinyu asked, Zhang Weiwen smiled and replied, "Looking at it once in a while, it is still helpful for physical and mental health, but there are still a little doubts about Miaomiao, you are a father." Jinyu was shocked, and asked pretending to be unfounded, "Did Miaomiao do something wrong?" ”
"That's not it, Miaomiao, you have always been very well-behaved, very smart, even beyond the heart of the average six-year-old." Zhang Weiwen glanced at Jinyu meaningfully.
"That's because Miaomiao is Daddy's daughter, Daddy is so smart, how stupid can Miaomiao be." Zhang Weiwen seemed to be amused, and said with a smile, "You girl is very good at talking." ”
The two got along peacefully, and it was time for lunch.
Because of the abundance of money, the lunch managed by Cheng Niangzi is also very rich, three dishes and one soup, two meat and one vegetable, garlic and vegetables, sweet and sour loin, fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots, and a cup of fresh fish stewed tofu and cute noodles and fruits, just smelling the taste is already appetizing.
"It's hard work, let's eat it all." Zhang Weiwen picked up the chopsticks, Jinyu and Cheng Niangzi picked up the chopsticks to eat, because this meal was very much with Jinyu's appetite, so Jinyu ate more, during the period, Cheng Niangzi kept giving Zhang Weiwen vegetables, making his handsome face red.
Jinyu frowned, her father and mother have been married for six years, it is said that there is no need to twist like this, such a scene has to make Jinyu suspicious.
This dad seems to be a little afraid of his mother.
It seems a little inappropriate to use the word fear to describe it, and Jinyu doesn't know much about things between men and women, and there are only a few men she knew in her previous life, and they all treat her as an air-like storage zài, so Jinyu doesn't understand this kind of thing.
But she felt that her father's treatment of her mother was very different from before.
At this time, a gong and drum suddenly sounded outside the door, as if someone was shouting, hit, Jinyu was wondering what was happening, a man wearing a soap official shirt held a yellow list, followed by a group of people waiting, carrying gongs and drums, the royal card was so lively, the small courtyard was crowded.
At this time, the three people in the room were still stunned, and Zhang Weiwen suddenly said, "What did you win, the lottery?" I saw the soap-clothed man pat his thigh and said, "Oh, my Master Xie Yuan, you can really joke, who doesn't know in this West Alley, your knowledge is the highest, isn't it you who is the first in this township?" Cheng Niangzi was excited when she heard this, grabbed the shoulder of the soap-clothed man and asked, "What you said is true, my father-in-law really understands Yuan?" The man in soap clothes was used to seeing such a scene, and handed over the imperial list in his hand to Zhang Weiwen very old-fashioned, and then Cheng Niangzi was so ecstatic that she didn't know what to do, but she fainted for a while, and suddenly Zhang Weiwen was a little flustered, and at this time squeezed out an old woman from the crowd, it was the next-door neighbor Wang Pozi, who stretched out her hand and pinched Cheng Niangzi's people, Cheng Niangzi eased up, saw Zhang Weiwen, and immediately said excitedly, "Xianggong, you finally won, you finally won." Zhang Weiwen hadn't reacted at this time, and was caught off guard by Cheng Niangzi's embrace, and Zhang Weiwen's face was suddenly flushed.
"Mother, these officials and uncles have sent good news to Daddy, should we thank others, Jinyu pulled Cheng Niangzi's sleeve and said, Cheng Niangzi immediately wiped away her tears when she heard it, and went to entertain these officials.
Zhang Weiwen turned his head and saw Jinyu looking at him with a pair of dark eyes, and felt a chill in his heart inexplicably.
