Chapter 161 Laba Porridge
"Don't talk about couples."
Zheng sneered, his eyes were full of coldness, obviously he didn't have any thoughts about the Hu family, and the only thing left was hatred: "You have the face to say that I don't have the face to listen, don't be ashamed, do you still know what a husband and wife are?" ”
She stretched out her hand and pointed at Hu Da: "Husband and wife, can you, the husband, earn more than a penny to support the family?" Can you manage our mother and daughter once? All day long, I only know that I want to play with money, and I dislike that I gave birth to a daughter, I bah, with your virtue, you also have a son. ”
After scolding Hu Da, Zheng saluted Duan Zongqi: "It's troublesome." ”
Duan Zongqi smiled and pointed at Hu Dadao: "Listen, people don't want to live with you anymore, and the harmony is serious, otherwise ......"
He blew his fist: "This general banner will beat you up, and then arrest you and put you in prison, I think you will be very happy." ”
When a threatening word came out, Hu Dazao's face turned white with fright, his head lowered and trembled, and he didn't dare to say a word.
Zheng became more and more sad and resentful, she was really blind, and she had been cheap for so many years for such a bully and a hard thing.
Zheng pulled the eldest girl, and then pulled the second girl and smiled: "Mother is going to reconcile with your father, what do you want?" Do you follow your father or your mother? ”
The eldest girl wiped her tears, and her little face was firm: "I'll go with my mother, I don't want to stay in this house anymore." ”
Erya was obviously frightened by the Hu family's behavior of selling everyone just now, first flattened her mouth, and then said: "I will also follow my mother." ”
"Okay." Zheng smiled.
At this time, Duan Zongqi had already explained the situation to the lieutenant chief. The lieutenant commander asked someone to invite the elders of the Hu family to come over, only stating that they wanted to reconcile, and both the Zheng family and Hu Da agreed.
So a group of people wrote a peace document under the high pressure of Duan Zongqi, during which it was noted that the two daughters born to Hu Da and the Zheng family were all with the Zheng family, and they had nothing to do with the Hu family in the future, and the two talked about marriage and marriage without interfering with each other in the future.
This document was in triplicate, Hu Da and Zheng each held one copy, and the other copy Duan Zongqi received and said that he was going to put it in the yamen.
Subsequently, Duan Zongqi looked at the Hu family and asked the Zheng family and her two daughters to pack up her dowry. Load all the dowry onto the ox cart. Zheng took the two girls to the ox cart, and Duan Zongqi was at ease.
This matter has been done successfully, and I think Mrs. Zongxian will be satisfied, and I can't say that he can also be promoted to some official positions in the future.
Zheng got into the carriage. suddenly turned his head at the moment he left the Hu family. Hu Da Yixi. I thought Zheng regretted it, so I hurriedly chased a few steps over, and Zheng smiled: "I'm leaving." Before leaving, I wish your Hu family not to talk about sons in the future, even if there is not even a girl, don't you look down on women, I am waiting for you to be reincarnated as a daughter in the next life, and I also understand the pain of women. ”
After speaking, Zheng called the coachman without looking back, and immediately drove the car away, leaving Hu Da alone with a wonderful face.
Seeing that the Zheng family seemed to be a very well-established and strong person in the Hu family, but when she got into the carriage and left, she hugged the two girls and cried, and the crying eldest girl and the second girl also cried.
Duan Zongqi rode a horse and followed aside, listening to the extremely sad cries of Zheng's mother and daughter, which was also a little uncomfortable.
After a while, Duan Zongqi persuaded: "Mrs. Zheng, look forward in everything, you think that our Mrs. Zongxian is taking more care of you now, not to mention the side, just Mrs. helps you a little, and you will have more good days in the future, so why do you have to think about so bad things." ”
Zheng immediately stopped crying when he heard this, and said to Duan Zongqi in the car: "Thank you for your explanation, I didn't think about it, I was just happy, so I cried." ”
"Where is Mrs. Zheng going, I'll send you over." Duan Zongqi asked again.
Zheng thought for a while: "I don't know where to go?" ”
Duan Zongqi suddenly thought of what the descendants of the family said when they were looking for him, and said with a smile: "In this case, it is better for me to send you to see Madame first, Madame will take care of this matter, and you will not be left without food and clothing, there must be some arrangement." ”
"This ......" Zheng hesitated a little: "It's not good, it's always troublesome for Mrs. ......"
"What's so good or bad, not for yourself, but also for the two girls." Duan Zongqi persuaded again, and said a little toughly: "It's so decided, I'll send you over first." ”
Zheng did not object again, as Duan Zongqi said, she is good for herself, but for the sake of her two daughters, she can only trouble Mrs. Cheng.
After Duan Zongqi returned to Jinling City with Zheng's mother and daughter, it was almost curfew, so he hurriedly took the mother and daughter to the Cheng family, and after handing over the three to the Cheng family, he hurriedly rode away.
But said that Ji Songxian didn't care about this matter after he asked someone to help the Zheng family go and leave, and now the New Year's Festival is getting closer and closer, although there are only two masters of the Cheng family, she and Cheng Huaijin, but the things to be used in the New Year are indispensable.
Ji Songxian, as the head of the house, has some things for her to prepare by herself.
While preparing for the New Year, Ji Songxian thought that the New Year in the future would be easier and simpler, but there was no festive atmosphere.
Just like Ji Songxian is now, just because Ming'er is Laba, Ji Songxian asked the people in the kitchen to prepare a lot of porridge yesterday, which should be cleaned, peeled and peeled, and soaked the rice.
Today, after Zheng left, Ji Songxian changed his clothes, put a big apron around his waist and began to cook porridge.
Laba is the best time to test the cooking skills of a housewife, the porridge of the next people is cooked by the cooks, but the porridge given to the person is to be cooked by the mother of the housekeeper herself, and the cooking can be sent to the acquaintances or relatives and friends along with a few dim sum, after the delivery, those who receive the porridge will taste whose porridge is cooked well, whose porridge is the second.
Therefore, Laba was very busy as a housewife for the first day, and she also put her best effort into cooking porridge.
Whether it is a big family or a small family, girls will follow their mothers to cook Laba porridge when they are young, and they have practiced for many years.
Ji Songxian is now boiling fine porridge, which is different from ordinary coarse porridge, which takes more effort and takes more time to cook carefully.
A large stove was placed in the courtyard of the front yard, a large iron pot was added to the stove, and warm water was added to it, Ji Songxian put many things into the water one by one, first put beans or dried fruits that were difficult to cook and difficult to soft, and then put lotus seeds or all kinds of rice grains that were easy to cook.
All kinds of beans, pitted dates, walnuts, lotus seeds, glutinous rice, sesame seeds......
It is said that it is eight-treasure porridge, but there are more than eighteen things added to it.
There are only two people in this family, Cheng Huaijin and Ji Songxian, and the two of them are not extravagant in their lives, and the cost is tight, even Cheng Huaijin's silver can't be spent, not to mention the Zhuangzi shop that Ji Songxian and Cheng Huaijin bought, and Cheng Huaijin originally had a lot of silver and jewelry in his hands, etc., and the consumption of the two people like this, just the existing silver money can't be spent in a lifetime.
Naturally, a lot of good ingredients are used when cooking porridge. Looking at ordinary beans and dates, the production areas are the best places to produce, and there are several kinds of dates alone, such as large dates, small dates, candied dates, etc., there are many kinds of beans, and the same is true for rice.
Adding things to it, boiling it carefully, watching the fire control, or adding some water, or removing some fire, is always a small and tedious thing.
and waited for Ji Songxian to boil the porridge almost, just slowly warm it over low heat, she breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the kitchen to instruct the cooks to make a few exquisite snacks and side dishes.
When everything was done, Ji Songxian only felt tired, so he took off his apron and wanted to go back to the room to wash up and change clothes, but he heard that Liang came to report that the Zheng family came with their two daughters.
Ji Songxian hurriedly asked Huan Liang to take them to the guest room to settle down and come back to see them.
Hurriedly washed up, Ji Songxian changed his clothes, a soft satin apricot jacket, a moon-white long skirt, and a light turmeric flower gown, combed his long hair into a cloud bun, and only wore a light yellow peony silk flower.
It was only said that the Zheng family went to the guest room with Huanliang to settle down, and sorted out the things he brought, and then the little girl from Chengfu brought a rough mother-in-law to carry a kang table over, and put a few things to eat on it, and the little girl smiled slightly: "Sister Zheng is afraid that she hasn't eaten yet, so take the two ladies to eat something to cushion her stomach, and the little lady will be hungry." ”
Zheng also laughed, and took the two girls to eat something.
The eldest girl and the second girl have a hard time in the Hu family, they haven't eaten anything good at all, today the Zheng family came out and they were hungry again, at this time, they couldn't eat early, but the Zheng family usually had a good upbringing for them, and they didn't pounce on it as if they didn't want to die, but ate slowly and logically with etiquette.
Although it looks like it is very slow, there is a lot of food to eat.
After eating, the three of them began to look at the room.
Although it is a guest room, the furnishings are very good, the sour branch wood furniture of a water, there are also a few antique calligraphy and paintings, the bookshelves, the tables, tables and chairs in the house are also complete, and the four treasures of the study room are also placed on the case.
After seeing these arrangements, Zheng became more and more careful, and at the same time told the eldest girl and the second girl not to move around.
After resting for a while, Zheng proposed to go to see Ji Songxian, and a girl reported it, and a little girl took them over for a while.
When they arrived in the front hall, the Zheng family didn't do anything, only the two children were almost dazzled, and just whispered that this is not the Heavenly Palace?
After a while, I heard a lot of footsteps, Zheng quickly got up, and the two children also stood up, and saw the first two girls open the curtains, and then a girl in a satin dress helped in a very chic, but really good-looking indescribable beauty.
Although the first Zheng family came to meet Ji Songxian, but she had something in her heart, and she didn't pay attention to Ji Songxian's appearance, this son took a closer look, and it was inevitable that he was surprised. (To be continued......)
