There was nothing to say all night, and the next day on the sixth day of the ninth month, Cuiping got up in the early morning before she saw Liang. Although the movements were very light, Situ Yan slept a lot during the day yesterday, but she only slept lightly all night. Seeing Cuiping get up, she also got dressed and got up.

"Miss, it's not dawn yet! You slept late yesterday, can you sleep a little longer? Wait for the slave to make breakfast, and then call you! ”

"It's okay, I slept well last night, and it's hard to get back to sleep now. I'll make breakfast tonight, and let my brother try my handiwork! You just have to watch from the sidelines, so that even if you and Youzhu return to Beijing, your heart will be more or less steady! Situ Yan didn't want to show that she could do anything at this time, but she thought that in order to take care of Wu Jin, she would have to do these things sooner or later, so it was better to do it earlier, and let Cui Ping and Youzhu leave with peace of mind.

"Miss, where is this? Just do it with the slaves! In Cui Ping's eyes, no matter what Situ Yan has experienced, she is the only eldest lady in her heart, she is a slave, how can she let the eldest lady cook something for them to eat, let alone enter the dirty stove room.

"Cui Ping, in this Yumen Pass, there is no young master and eldest lady, some are just military households, of course these things have to be done by me, and the brother and the bolt will have to be ethical in the future, to farm, to raise horses, I don't do this, how can they have time to do it." What's more, as early as those days in Lijia Village, I had already learned to cook and cook, which was not difficult. When I return to Beijing in the future, I will be the eldest lady in Cuiping's heart, and eat the rice you cook every day! Situ Yan fell on Cui Ping's body with some coquettishness.

Cui Ping was reluctant, but after thinking about it, she nodded. Although he no longer persuades. I still feel bitter in my heart, Miss Situ Yan, the daughter, "If Situ Mansion is still there, why does the eldest lady suffer all this?" It's bitter miss! Although Cui Ping didn't cry as much as she did yesterday, her distress and sadness were still undiminished, and Situ Yan only had to laugh with her a few more words, which made her smile again. The two laughed and entered the stove room, but in fact, this is not a room at all. The whole house had long since lost its grass roof, and even the adobe walls had collapsed in half

Situ Yan thought that Wu Jin had eaten japonica rice yesterday, so she boiled porridge with japonica rice. I baked some egg cakes with noodles and eggs, which had no dry food, and people would be hungry before noon just by drinking a little thin, and mixed two cold dishes. Cut the salted egg in two. Although this kind of breakfast can't be compared with Wu's mansion, it is better than what Wu Jin eats these days.

Although Cui Ping said that she would not help, she always regarded the eldest lady as a child in her heart, but she didn't expect the eldest lady to talk about it, and she cooked well, even better than what she did as a slave, so she was stunned and stunned. I can't say a word. "Her eldest lady didn't even enter the stove room when she left, and it was only three years. Not only can I boil porridge, but even the cake will be burned, which shows how much suffering the eldest lady has suffered! The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Cuiping, didn't you look at the cold dishes I mixed with less salt, and thought about adding some to them! Although these tears are also salty, the sad tears are not only salty but also bitter, but you can't cry anymore, otherwise my brother will think that you haven't picked and washed this dish when you eat it! Cui Ping was finally amused by Situ Yan's witty words, and the two entered Wu Jin's house with a prepared breakfast.

At this time, Wu Jin had already gotten up, and at the beginning of Chen, he had to rush to the school grounds, and after washing, he looked at the breakfast brought in by Xiaomei and Cuiping, and praised a few words, "It's really a good woman to cook without rice, and it's hard to think that Cuiping didn't have anything during the day yesterday and only boiled some mush." Today, I got these good ingredients, and I made a good breakfast! It smells so good just by looking at it! ”

Cui Ping blushed, a little embarrassed, "Young Master, you are praising the wrong person, today's breakfast was cooked by the eldest lady herself, and the slave maid only watched from the sidelines, and she didn't even have a chance to help, you can try it!" ”

Wu Jin thought Cui Ping was joking, but looking at Situ Yan's expression of wanting him to taste it quickly, he asked suspiciously, "Yan'er, you did all this alone?" ”

Situ Yan nodded, "Yes!" Didn't I say yesterday that I would take good care of my brother and bolts, of course, farming and raising horses, I may not be good at it, but cooking and laundry are not difficult for me! Now you should believe it, right? ”

"Believe, I believe. Yan'er, you must have suffered a lot in the past three years? It's all for brothers, and I can't stand you. Of course Wu Jin believes Xiaomei's words, but he also knows that the 9-year-old Xiaomei can make such a decent breakfast, which shows that in the past three years, Xiaomei is not as easy as she says, and must have suffered a lot. Three years ago, where would he have thought about letting his sister go into the stove room to cook things.

"Brother! You are here again, to make food for your relatives, it is a blessing not to complain about suffering, and looking at the fragrant food of my brother, my heart is sweeter than smeared with honey, where did I come from so much bitterness! Over the years, the four elder brothers of the Li family have been busy making money outside to supplement the family, and all I can do is make a fire and cook a meal, and I won't be able to do more. I don't even have to do it to pick up firewood and dig wild vegetables, the most I can do is to go to the side of the mountain to pick flowers and flutter a butterfly! Don't mention how comfortable life is! Situ Yan's remarks had already been thought of when she decided to cook breakfast herself, and she thought that Wu Jin would blame herself for cooking.

Wu Jin thought about it, after all, the little sister is a girl, she can learn to cook and cook, at least in the future, she can please her in-laws and father-in-law, and when she thinks about it, she is not so sad in her heart. Fortunately, these are just Wu Jin's thoughts in his heart, and he didn't talk about it, otherwise Situ Yan would have to roll her eyes, she was only nine years old, and her own brother was already thinking about what would happen after she got married. It's really not the long-term thing you think.

In fact, Situ Yan is still more or less able to accept these precocious men and women in ancient times, how can they marry at the age of fifteen, no wonder giving birth to a child in ancient times would be like walking through the ghost gate, getting married at the age of fifteen, and being a mother at sixteen may have to give birth to a child, her body has not grown well, where can she survive the pain of giving birth to a child. Anyway, Wu Jin didn't say anything, and Situ Yan didn't know what he was thinking.

Wu Jin sat down and drank a mouthful of porridge and ate a bite of egg cake, "'Rubbing the jade color with slender hands, and frying the green oil to make it tender and yellow'." Yan'er, your cake is so well baked, golden and soft. There is also this porridge, and the craftsmanship is not inferior to the kitchen lady in the palace! ”

"Brother likes it, there are pillars, cuiping, and plugs all sit down and eat together, I make a lot, everyone has a share, if you don't eat it, you have to cheapen others!" Situ Yan persuaded a few people to eat together, and when they wanted to excuse themselves, she added the following sentence.

A few people are slaves, where are they worthy of eating the food made by the master's own hands. But when he thought of cheapening Wu De and his aunt, he sat down to have breakfast with Wu Jin and Situ Yan with peace of mind.

"Xiang, Miss, hello craft. It's so delicious! "I took a bite of the plug, I thought it was just looking at the fragrance, but when I ate it in my mouth, it really had an endless aftertaste.

"Yes! Miss. Your craft is even better than Cuiping's. "Plugs and pillars are spoken. Cui Ping was not unhappy at all, praising the eldest lady made her happier than praising her.

Situ Yan smiled and nodded, she didn't take such praise to heart, and she thought that such a breakfast could only be regarded as nutritionally balanced, not delicious.

Turning his head and discussing with Wu Jin while eating. "Brother, I thought about it last night. The matter of brother dividing the household is not easy to hold for too long, and for a long time, it is afraid of change, so it is better to set it on the day of the ninth double festival in early September. 'On such a day, the elder brother comes out of the household, and we live together as a family, isn't it good?' ”

"'Nine days of yellow flower wine, ascending will be heard in the past. Frost is chasing the sub-phase, and the murderous spirit is in the army. The transverse flute frightens the geese, and the delicate song falls into the clouds. Fortunately, there is nothing to do, drunk and dancing Hewujun. It was a good day. After a whole day of excitement, shock, and turmoil yesterday, Wu Jin slowly rose his sinking heart again, and echoed a poem with his little sister's poem. Although Situ Yan has not seen Wu Jin's previous appearance, she can also get a glimpse of it from the excited expression of the bolt, such Wu Jin is the real Wu Jin, elegant and idle, beyond the world, but such a person is not suitable for survival in the world, Wu Jin is destined to live such a life in this life.

"There is no war in the border court, and the garrison is drunk and deserted, and my brother's poem should be in line with the situation." Situ Yan did not forget to praise the previous sentence.

"Yes, eldest young master, the minion hasn't seen you so happy for a long time, or the eldest lady has a way!" The plug even had tears in his eyes with excitement.

"Yes, my Yan'er can always make her brother happy. Come and toast my little sister with porridge and wine. ”

"Good!" Situ Yan was very happy to see Wu Jin's smile again, although this smile should belong to the original owner, but now that she wants to take care of him on behalf of the original owner, she will gladly accept it.

After breakfast, Wu Jin only let the bolt go to Wu De's house and called out, telling him that Tian Wuchang wanted him to go to the school field at the beginning of the year, so he left with the bolt and did not wait for him. Wu Deben was still waiting for his son to come and bring him some delicious food, and last night he listened to the pillow wind blowing all night by the two aunts, he even felt that what he had done was not excessive, and the trace of guilt that had just risen for Situ Yan and Situ Wan was also blown away by these two people.

waited for a long time, but only waited for his son's servants to come over and respond, not to mention that it was delicious and delicious, even the bowl of porridge was not seen, but he didn't dare not listen to Tian Wuchang's words, so he had to go to the school with an empty stomach while scolding angrily.

As for the two aunts, they didn't eat enough last night, and they were hungry this morning, Cui Ping came from the eldest lady, and they didn't even leave them with a stutter, so they only drank a few more sips of water and lay on the kang, so that they could feel better if they didn't move or sit.

Situ Yan had breakfast and sent Wu Jin away, so she and Li Youzhu took the snow wolf and circled around the whole tunzi, she wanted to find a place to build a room as soon as possible, these officials and eunuchs didn't know what to do, except for eating and waiting for death. But she knows that this winter in the northwest is similar to that in the northeast, dry and cold is abnormal, if you don't plan early, there will be no shortage of food and clothing this winter, and you will be frozen to death or even freeze to death. And by the way, let the snow wolf recognize the environment and let it go, it was stuffy yesterday, and it was clamoring to go out early this morning.

"Miss, where can this house be built without a month? It looks like winter is coming, and if it snows, I am afraid that this house will not be built? Li Youzhu was a little worried, afraid that the eldest lady would not know the weather in the northwest, and if she built a house at this time, she was afraid that she would not be able to catch up.

"We don't build brick houses, we build a few thatched houses out of adobe, as long as they are strong and warm. Otherwise, I'm afraid this winter will be difficult? ”

"If only a straw house is built, the slave thinks that it is better to repair the house he lives in now, as long as he can barely survive this winter. Why don't you wait for the spring to bloom and when the weather is good, and then build a tiled house, so that it is comfortable to live in? Youzhu persuaded him like this, firstly, he felt that there was not enough time to build a new house, and secondly, he hoped to stay until the end of the Chinese New Year before returning to the capital.

Situ Yan didn't know what he was thinking, so he just smiled, "Youzhu, I said that I won't let my brother stay in this northwest all the time, at most three years, I will definitely take my brother back to the capital, you!" Or go back to Beijing with Cuiping. Then I looked at the house this morning, the mud wall has been loosened, it is good that it does not snow heavily, if it snows heavily, I am afraid that it will be dangerous! In fact, Situ Yan didn't say a word, even the long lives in this military tun are adobe houses, Wu Jin is just a military household, if he lives in a tiled house, I am afraid that in less than a day, someone will come to find trouble.

"Since the eldest lady can see the minion's thoughts, let's leave the minion behind, or let Cui Ping stay to take care of you and the eldest young master, and save you from cooking by yourself and suffering from this!"

"Youzhu, I don't care if I endure some hardships, so that my brother will feel distressed, and he will work hard to make progress and earn more military merits. This can be regarded as a 'bitter meat ploy'! It's just 'Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai', one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer! ”

"Miss, why are you doing this? Hi! Li Youzhu already understood three years ago that this eldest lady looked weak, but she was very stubborn in her bones, and she was even more stubborn, he didn't want to persuade him, but he was really uneasy in his heart, so he found a reason to persuade him twice, and when he saw that it was useless, he stopped thinking about it. Fortunately, the eldest lady can cook rice and light the fire, so that she and Cuiping can feel more at ease when they leave.

"Youzhu, in your and Cuiping's hearts, my brother and I are the masters of Situ Mansion, and we are young masters and young masters who should be pampered, but the world is impermanent, and now that my brother is in trouble, we must learn to survive in adversity, otherwise how can we have a bright future! And the bitterness in your eyes is just a small episode in my eyes, it is God's experience of our brothers and sisters, and I don't feel bitter from the bottom of my heart! For Li Youzhu, Situ Yan did not deliberately hide her maturity, after all, she will be the master of Situ Mansion in the future, and in order to reassure the people under her hands, the maturity that should be there is a must.

Although it was not the first time that Li Youzhu had seen any mature eldest ladies, he was still shocked by Situ Yan's words, and although his face was surprised, he felt much more down-to-earth in his heart. He has worked hard for so many years, and it is easy to become a good family, but his son has become a military household, and he has some thoughts in his heart, if the eldest lady can really rescue the eldest young master, then his own son can also become a good family. Thinking of this, he no longer advised. And he really believes that this eldest lady who has come thousands of miles to find her relatives has such ability. (To be continued......)
