Chapter 2 The Cold Courtyard - Comfortable Days

After the meal, Qingxi was busy cleaning up the tableware. Ling'er looked at her and didn't say anything, she had a father and mother in her previous life, and she was four years older than herself, but she always regarded herself as a little sister, and rarely interfered in housework. If you want to talk about cooking, there is still some interest, and washing dishes is too lazy to touch. Now there is a little girl who does everything for herself, although she occasionally feels a little uneasy in her heart, but she has always been pampered by her family, so as a modern person, Ling'er also accepts it calmly. What's more, serving the young lady is already Qingxi's habit, and if she is not allowed to do it, she will be uncomfortable.

Boredom, Ling'er went to the yard to move her body bones, first ran a few laps along the small courtyard, and then wrists, ankles, knees, necks, shoulders, hip twisting joint exercises, and then pulled ligaments, kicks, splits and a series of taekwondo warm-up exercises.

In the previous life, my mother adhered to the principle of decathlon and hugged various tutoring classes for my sister and Ling'er, not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, dancing, yoga, taekwondo, swimming, etc. Mom's truth is: we can learn everything, if we are interested, we will insist, and if we are not interested in contacting it, it can be regarded as accepting the edification and exercise of art. It's just that taekwondo is not the sisters' interest, it is the result of their father's insistence. Dad looked at the two flower-like daughters, and was afraid that others would bully him, so every day of taekwondo practice, even if it was stormy and snowy outside, he would take the sisters there, making the sisters really miserable.

Qingxi looked at his young lady's posture and was shocked, "Miss, ....... you?"

Ling'er looked at Qingxi, who was surprised and inexplicable, and smiled understandingly, but the exercise did not stop, "I exercise hard and become strong, so we don't have to be bullied in the future." ”

Qingxi nodded vigorously as he listened, "Well, Miss practice well." "But as far as the young lady's body is concerned, how strong can you be if you practice again, Qingxi looked at the petite and delicate young lady and thought.

Ling'er listened to Qingxi's words, and had some guesses in her heart about the reason why the predecessor of this body fainted and was injured.

After some exercise, Ling'er was already out of breath, and it was obvious that the original owner of this body was a gentle character. However, in ancient times, everyone was not out of the door, and the second door was not out, and they sang poems and painted all day long, embroidering female red.

Ling'er is not reluctant, he was more than ten years of hard work, how can he regain his original strength overnight, take your time, and things will be reversed.

Here, Qingxi saw that the young lady finished exercising, and hurriedly sent a wet towel from the warm water. Ling'er took it and smiled at Qingxi gratefully, but Qingxi didn't know how to do it. Ling'er knows that she can't be too polite to this girl in the future, and it is not easy for her to adapt to herself, after all, people have been used to it for many years. Qingxi was six years old when he was bought by his mother from Renyazi to make himself a personal maid, and it has been seven years since he came to this day. It can be said that since Qingxi was sensible, Miss was her closest person. Although there is harmony between master and servant, there are still rules for the sake of the times. Ling'er, whose body is gradually improving, is obviously alive, and slowly remembers some things from before the original owner of this body, so it is not like the panic and anxiety when he first woke up. She has to slowly sort it out and straighten it out before she can come up with a corresponding way to deal with it.

But at the moment, no one is disturbing, and the master and servant are also at ease, and one day is counted as one day. Ling'er threw the towel to Qingxi, walked towards the kitchen, and asked as she walked, "What are you eating today?" ”

Qingxi hurriedly kept up, and wondered in his heart, "Miss, is this hungry after practicing?" "Miss, don't go in, go to the main hall to rest first, and the slave will make you something to eat later." "When did the young lady enter the kitchen in the past, this injury is really different from the past.

Ling'er entered the kitchen and swept her eyes, although it was house arrest, this Liu family did not treat herself badly, chicken, duck, fish, green vegetables, and fruits were all available, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed. I immediately figured out a few dishes in my heart, looked at Qingxi who followed the kitchen, and said, "Today, your young lady and I will be in charge of the kitchen, and I will ensure that you will feast on your mouth." ”

Where did Qingxi dare to let Miss cook for herself, only when Miss was tired of her own craft, she couldn't help but feel sour, thinking that when Mrs. was alive, Miss had always been raised with gold and jade, and the chefs in the house took turns to make food. Since Mrs. Xian went, she and Miss Liu arranged to move into this small courtyard, although there are all kinds of ingredients available every day, there are only a few things I can do, and I am not tired of it after a long time. Thinking like this, I felt ashamed of Miss, and I couldn't help but cry.

Ling'er was busy picking vegetables here, and suddenly felt that there was no movement behind her, so she turned around and looked, okay, this girl is crying. Ling'er was speechless, she just wanted to cook a few dishes for her to eat, why did she cry.

Qingxi looked at her young lady helplessly and looked at her helplessly, and her knees were weak: "The slave maid must improve her cooking skills in the future, and strive to make delicious meals for the young lady, I just ask the young lady not to dislike the slave maid." ”

Ling'er shook her head helplessly, this feudal etiquette is really killing people. Ignoring Qingxi, he picked out the materials by himself, and said to Qingxi: "Go to the fire, don't you want to eat at noon?" ”

Qingxi thought that the young lady disliked herself, but now that she saw that the situation was not what she thought, she hurriedly got up, and before she could wipe away her tears, she made a fire to cook.

Ling'er made mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, crispy pork ribs, hot and sour shredded potatoes, pork liver soup, and a standard four dishes and one soup, which was enough for the two of them. I think these dishes are my father's favorites, and I have practiced hard for my father, and I don't know if my father will be able to eat his own craftsmanship in the future. After thinking about it, I threw it to the back of my head and concentrated on my current life. Ling'er, who is optimistic by nature, should not think about those problems that she is not able to solve at the moment, only to increase her troubles, and to live in the moment is her mantra.

Although the tofu and diced chicken are a little spicy, which has an impact on the carbuncles on their faces, Ling'er, who has always been hungry and spicy, can take care of these things, and then talk about it after being full and taking it orally. And with his own ability, as long as he has the right opportunity to go out, there are countless ways to heal his face. To be honest, I really want to see what this face looks like, and it is as written in the time-traveling novels I have read in the past.

The meal was placed on the small table in the main hall, and Ling'er greeted Qingxi, who was still standing with his hands tied: "Are you still going to continue to pestle?" ”

Qingxi's heart warmed, and he hurriedly sat with Ling'er, but picked up the chopsticks to make vegetables for Ling'er first. Ling'er didn't shirk and feasted on herself. Qingxi felt really delicious when he ate, he had been in Xiangfu for so many years, and he had never eaten anything from the mountains and seas, but today's food was even more than before. In the end, since the master and servant had eaten four dishes and one soup cleanly, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Qingxi felt a little embarrassed, he had eaten happily just now, since he didn't care about it, he didn't blush now when he thought about it, and hurriedly packed up the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the kitchen.

Ling'er ate and drank enough, so she lay on the bed and went on a date with Zhou Gong, first raising this body and then thinking about other things.

Such a small life is quite enjoyable, no work pressure, no life pressure, breathe fresh air, wake up and make up to eat, except for occasionally missing family, it's really a leisurely life.

After more than ten days, Ling'er carried out regular exercises every day, and gradually felt much more comfortable and stronger, and her spirit was much better. Originally, the restless heart couldn't hold back, and he went out for a wild trip during the eleventh holiday, but he didn't expect to cross here all of a sudden, otherwise the next few days would be with my sister and mother to talk about all kinds of shopping and all kinds of food, but now it's all gone.

After his body was well and his brain was activated, Ling'er raised his eyes and glanced at the small courtyard, and called Qingxi: "Help me move a chair out." He walked to the corner again, picked up the fairly smooth stone, and carried it in his hand. After Qingxi moved the chair out, Ling'er let it be placed against the wall, put the stone on it again, and raised her legs to go up, trying to pick up the courtyard wall and look out to see what it was. But I tried a few times, but I didn't go up. Unintentionally turned his head, isn't there a poplar tree in the southwest corner of the yard, it's really stupid. Then he got out of his chair, ran over in three or two steps, and stumbled up the tree. Qingxi clenched her chest in fright, and her eyes didn't dare to leave her family for a moment, Miss This is really getting more and more amazing, and she is more worried about hope and confidence in her future life.

Ling'er climbed the tree and couldn't help but be disappointed when she looked at it. Outside the courtyard was a wasteland, as if there was a river in the distance, and nothing else. I got down from the tree and suddenly lost my energy.

It was only for a while that Ling'er was in high spirits again, and Qingxi looked at the young lady depressed for a while and happy for a while, and really didn't understand what the current young lady was thinking. The young lady who leaned on the window every day and cried silently is gone, although the current young lady is quirky, but she is very happy every day, Qingxi thinks it is better than the current young lady.

Ling'er returned to the kitchen, found the steamer, and used a knife to remove the bamboo pieces on it one by one, since it was very laborious, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the things of the ancients were genuine, and a steamer was made so strong.

Qingxi stood by and watched her young lady toss, anyway, since the young lady woke up, she has done a lot of strange things, so it is not strange.

Ling'er said to Qingxi while busy: "Xi'er, cut the mutton at home into cubes, and prepare some snacks, melons and fruits, I will be useful tomorrow." ”

Hearing the young lady's order, Qingxi hurriedly did so.

The master and servant used a knife to cut the bamboo pieces on the steamer into skewers, and prepared all kinds of food until dinner.

After doing all this, Ling'er made some tomato and egg noodles, and the two of them ate it moisturizing.

After eating, wash well. Ling'er beckoned Qingxi to sleep with him on his big bed, his beautifully carved lady's bed was beautiful, and it was always empty when he fell asleep alone. I didn't say anything all night, and I slept until three strokes in the morning, and Ling'er woke up. Look around, there is no shadow of Qingxi for a long time, and I know that this girl is busy again.

Ling'er had just woken up, and Qingxi immediately came over to serve and freshen up. Ling'er didn't say anything, she tried her best to do what she could, and Qingxi didn't refuse to help. Only the matter of combing your hair yourself can't be done anyway, and the grooming of the ancients is really troublesome. Qingxi took the comb and asked the young lady in the bronze mirror what kind of hairstyle she was going to comb today, and on a whim, Ling'er asked Qingxi to braid the hair on her forehead from the right to the right into a twisted shape, hiding the tail behind the hair, and draping the black hair like a waterfall behind her shoulders. Pick up some pearls one by one on the braid, it feels quite pure and elegant. Comb your hair, put on a set of moon-white satin gowns that Qingxi had prepared earlier, a finger-wide golden belt around her waist, covered with mist and light veil, the whole person is radiant, if you ignore the carbuncle on her face, since she is also a fairy-like person. Ling'er casually found a silk handkerchief and covered her face, if she plans to go out today, even if it is a wilderness, if she meets someone, it will only increase the disgust of others, or scare others, wouldn't it be to add to your own blockage.

After breakfast and packing up the things prepared yesterday, Ling'er and Qingxi planned to go out. Ling'er threw things out of the wall first, and then helped Qingxi climb the tree over the wall, and followed herself. Successfully arrived outside the wall, Ling'er only felt that her breathing was much smoother, and she was really depressed in the small courtyard these days.

Qingxi took the things here, and Ling'er was already bouncing like a finch out of the cage and running away. "Miss, wait for Xi'er." Qingxi hurriedly followed while shouting. After walking a long distance, he was really tired and couldn't move, Ling'er Fang stopped, and looked back to see Qingxi following behind and panting.

After the master and servant rested for a while, Ling'er got busy, took out the charcoal and the basin, lit it with a fire fold, put the barbed wire mesh that she had woven casually, and then put the mutton skewers on the barbed wire and roasted them. Then take out some fruit snacks with you, and the picnic is quite hearty. After a while, the aroma of barbecued meat was already tangy, causing Qingxi to swallow his saliva. Ling'er also sang happily:

Let us live with the red dust

Riding horses galloping and sharing the prosperity of the world

Sing to the wine and express the joy of your heart

Vigorously grasp the youth

………

Qingxi who listened to it seemed to be drunk, such a young lady was something she had never seen before, she was so close to her, as if all the troubles in the world were as light as floating clouds, fleeting, and the happiness in front of her was a real possession, it was good to be able to live so steadily.

Ling'er was full of food and drink and lay on the ground, and the caring little girl also hammered the young lady's legs. Ling'er was in a daze and fell asleep. When I woke up, I didn't know what time it was, so I didn't care about him, anyway, my life was to eat, drink and be merry.

Ling'er pulled up Qingxi: "Let's go, go to the river in front and take a look, maybe you can catch a fish, then you can grill the fish and eat it." ”

The two went hand in hand, and it didn't take long to reach the river, and Ling'er was stunned for a moment, not because of the small river, nor because of the fish in the river. Ling'er stared blankly at the clusters of inconspicuous grass in the river beach not far from the river, ran over in three steps and two steps to pull up a plant, only to see that its rhizome was cylindrical, with bud marks on the surface, and pith in the middle of the section, and licked it with his tongue to be slightly sweet. Licorice, you can't go wrong, your face is saved.

Ling'er didn't care about the river anymore, and hurriedly told Qingxi to quickly pick more of this grass and go back. The master and servant were busy for a while.

But they didn't know that they were busy here, but there was a pair of eyes watching them in the distance. The young man, dressed in white and holding a turquoise flute, reclined beside a tree and thoughtfully said: "I didn't get any favorable information from the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and I planned to visit the periphery during the day and then visit it at night, but when I first arrived, I found that two girls came out of the wall in that courtyard. Judging by their descriptions, they should be the young ladies and maids of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but what this young lady did today is unbelievable and very interesting. The corners of the young man's mouth couldn't help but rise, "What kind of person should this be......?"
