In modern times, even two men and women who are obviously not related can be ridiculed at will for any reason. However, in ancient times when etiquette was strict, if a woman in the boudoir was rumored to have any connection with other men, it would be a big taboo. So when Gao Dazhuang asked about this, he deliberately lowered his voice and didn't say anything, and the nervousness and crampedness on his face were even more visible.

Thinking about it, Li Xian's enthusiasm was indeed a little excessive, and even Ruoshui himself felt inexplicable, let alone the bystanders.

Thinking that Gao Dazhuang was just gossiping, Ruoshui didn't care much, so he said casually.

"We can be regarded as friends~ Then Li Gongzi helped me a lot, Ruoshui is naturally grateful."

"So, do you know he's interested in you?"

Of course you do! With his attentive attitude, even the blind can see his ulterior motives. Ruoshui nodded.

"But, but, although our days as brothers and sisters are not long, and the eldest brother may not know you very well, but the eldest brother has some words that are really unpleasant. Although Li Xiucai is famous, his ancestors have not been lifted for many generations, and his family is even poorer, if you really want to marry him, I don't know how much hardship you have to suffer~ There are so many good men in this world, a beautiful woman like my sister, what kind of woman you want to find can't find it, why do you have to suffer from poverty for a lifetime......"

Listening to the tall and strong more and more unreliable, Ruoshui hurriedly interrupted him.

"Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about! I and that Li Gongzi are just friends, so why are we talking about marriage! ”

"However, you know that he is interested in you, but you still ...... him and him."

"To him what? I didn't hug him, I didn't kiss him. People have helped me so many times, is it because he likes me and I don't like him, so the two of us have to die of old age? What's more, although Li Gongzi has no longevity, he has a good character, and he is not humble in the face of power, which alone can be seen that he is not a thing in the pool. Big brother, don't underestimate others. ”

When he heard this remark in the tall and strong ears, he was even more confused.

It's just that you don't like it, why do you still praise it, since you think this person is good, why don't you like it?

But this is also difficult to be tall and strong, although he is already a young man in his early twenties, I am afraid that he is already the father of the child if he wants to rest on others. But he has been alone since he was a child, and he has no parents, relatives and friends to worry about his marriage, plus he himself is silly and stupid, at most he will only say a few nonsense words to beautiful girls on weekdays, and he really doesn't know anything about emotional matters.

In fact, the matter between Li Xian and Ruoshui, he really didn't think much about it at first. But Li Xian's sudden visit yesterday made the godmother have other ideas.

Ruoshui has reached the age of sixteen, and it is time to talk about marriage. The godmother was already bent on finding a good family for her daughter to marry, and she didn't have to show up to cause criticism again.

Although she can't see with her eyes, Li Xian's words and deeds are quite polite, and her intention to protect her daughter is even more foolish, so she pays attention to this Li Gongzi.

It is naturally inappropriate to inquire about people's backgrounds when they meet for the first time, and it is even more unrealistic to ask Ruoshui, because every time she mentions marriage to her, she impatiently changes the topic nine times out of ten. After thinking about it, only the godson of Gao Dazhuang can be regarded as the most suitable candidate.

It's a pity that this tall and strong man is also a master who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, and he was confused when he was circled twice by Ruoshui. He also wanted to ask clearly, but he didn't know how to ask, so in frustration, he casually tore up a few flowers planted beside him.

It was a bush of thorny roses that were blooming vigorously, and after a few handfuls of them were pulled by the tall and strong, they fell all over the ground with fine petals. These flowers were carefully transplanted into the courtyard by Ruoshui, and it took a long time to take care of them, so that they bloomed so luxuriantly. She saw that her beloved things were ruined in the blink of an eye, and she immediately complained that she was tall and strong.

"Big brother! What are you doing~ Such a beautiful flower, you can't bear to spoil it~"

Tall and strong, how can he know what flowers and plants, in his eyes, even a peony that is overwhelming the country and the city is not as good as a radish of water.

"Your eldest brother and I are a rough person, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, what can't be eaten is in vain."

Although he saw his sister-in-law with a thin anger on her face, she was also a little weak-hearted, but she still muttered quietly and refused to admit her mistake. But he didn't expect Ruoshui to be stunned for a moment after hearing this, not only did he not get angry, but he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately relaxed his brows and stood up suddenly.

"Can't eat it? Who said you can't eat it! ”

I heard her shout a headless word, turned around and ran into the stove room.

The tall man stood up blankly, raising his hand to look at the few petals that remained in his palm.

"Is this really edible thing?"

He said to himself, thought for a moment, then stretched out his tongue and licked all the petals into his mouth, and only chewed two bites, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Hey! It's really sweet! ”

……

Yes! The petals are indeed edible! Ruoshui remembered the Yunnan specialty that was famous all over the country in the previous life - flower cakes.

The filling made of flowers is fragrant, sweet but not greasy, and has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin.

Rainbow dumplings are best filled with flowers, not only because they taste fresh and fresh, but also because they are the best ingredients. This spring village is located halfway up the mountain, and all kinds of flowers are picked all over the mountain, even in the winter when the flowers are withering, there are also hardy plum branches proudly.

Ruoshui took out a large porcelain bowl from the cupboard, ran back to the tall and strong, and cleaned the row of thorny roses planted in the corner of the wall.

However, compared to the process of picking flowers, the technique of washing the petals is much gentler. Ruoshui carefully removed the stamens and calyxes, rinsed the dust with clean water, and then returned to the stove with a bowl full of petals.

She first took out a part of the petals, soaked them in a small bowl with a small amount of water, and then took the remaining half of the petals, sucked up the water with a clean silk handkerchief, and gently rubbed them with her hands.

After kneading for almost half an hour, all the rose petals had turned into a paste, and by this time, a large bowl of petals was full of only a small mass that could cover the bottom of the bowl.
