Chapter 57 Picking Dumpling Leaves

Cheng Wanyu took a sip of the soup made of lychees, and her brows furrowed slightly. Putting down the spoon, tilting his head and asking Xiaohong, "What time is the beginning of the year today?" ”

"It's twenty-six, and it's going to be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days." Xiaohong replied with a smile, and quietly removed the soup bowl in front of Cheng Wanyu.

"Then go buy some glutinous rice and wrap some zongzi in advance." Xiaohong nodded and smiled: "The slave maid has seen a lot of palm leaves selling on the street these days, but it is not as interesting as picking them by herself in previous years." ”

Cheng Wanyu raised her eyebrows curiously: "Did you pick it yourself in previous years?" ”

Xiaohong nodded: "The slave maid only has one year to go out with the lady in the kitchen, which is fun." ”

Cheng Wanyu was interested and asked Lychee to call Xiaocui in. She grew up in the kitchen and must know how to pick dumpling leaves.

When she was in office with Cui Ximin in the past, the locals used a bamboo leaf, which is a kind of bamboo leaf. I heard Xiaocui say that the reed leaves from the river were used in the house, and they were all picked by the people in the kitchen. Cheng Wanyu was interested, and she mentioned that she would go to the reeds around Huaizhou Mansion to pick them by herself today.

Inform Manager Fan and ask him to prepare the carriage and horses. Cheng Wanyu took Xiaocui, Xiaohong and Lychee to sit in the carriage.

Steward Fan drove the car, and Yang Escort and Shen Escort followed on horseback one left and one right. Ermao, Black Bean and Dayong took the lead, and they had already gone to find a place to step on the spot.

Not far from the city, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and Dayong rode back on horseback. Xiao Cui lifted the curtain and shouted, "Have you found a good place?" ”

Dayong happily replied, "Yes, we also found a small fishing boat. Later, you can still fish for water chestnuts and eat that! ”

Xiaocui put down the curtain, sneered at Cheng Wanyu and said, "What are the water chestnuts now, they are all available in summer." Miss, none of us will sue him. Let him go and find it. When you can't find it, you deliberately ask him for it. Hahaha! ”

Xiaohong and Lychee also covered their mouths and snickered, thinking about the brave and anxious group that has always been stupid. Cheng Wanyu shook her head, and found that the more she messed around with these 'children', the more she felt that the more she lived, the more she would go back.

Although she is only sixteen years old this year, she is also in her thirties. It seems that the longer I come back, the easier it is to forget all the unhappiness of my previous life.

When they arrived at the river, Ermao and Black Beans had already run away. A dirty little fishing boat on the side. There are also fishing nets hanging on them.

Xiao Cui excitedly forgot about Cheng Wanyu. Jump directly into the boat, pick up the oars, push the boat hard, and then sway inside.

Cheng Wanyu has never had such an experience, and she finds it novel and interesting. Pointing to the reeds in the distance, he said, "That's it, right?" ”

Xiaohong couldn't bear it anymore and joined the ranks of picking reeds. Cheng Wanyu stood on the shore. Watching them, you say a word, I say a word, pull this and that, it's very interesting.

Seeing Lychee standing still, he was curious: "Why don't you go to play?" Are you afraid of water? It doesn't matter, you see there's a lot of water over there. ”

Lychee smiled wryly: "No, slaves are not afraid of water." The slave wants to stay on the shore and serve the young lady! ”

Cheng Wanyu thought she was embarrassed to say that she was afraid of water. Waving his hand, he said, "You don't have to serve me, I'm going to play on the boat too." ”

After that, carrying a skirt can no longer hide his active temperament. Helped Fan Zhongen's housekeeper to get on the boat.

Lychee frowned behind her and persuaded, "Miss, these leaves are nothing to be fun with. You should be careful to be safe, so you might as well not go. ”

"Do it yourself, this is the fun of the festival!" picked a few, and Cheng Wanyu felt bored. Again he turned his attention to the oars.

She followed the example of Xiaocui just now and swung the oars vigorously. The boat swayed, making Cheng Wanyu scream again and again.

Ermao, Heidou and Dayong were very interested when they saw their young lady. It's a pity that the boating craft is so bad. hurriedly stepped forward to escort the escort to ensure that Cheng Wanyu's boat would not capsize.

Lychee rolled her eyes speechlessly. She really couldn't understand why this woman was a big lady who was dressed to reach out for food and open her mouth. This kind of person will not be blessed, she deserves to marry a stinky farmer and be disliked.

Wearing such an expensive skirt and the delicate embroidered shoes that Xiaohong had made for a month, she actually stepped on the dirty boat with all her care.

Obviously, you can go shopping in the city, look at rouge gouache or listen to small songs. But she pretended to be a fisherwoman and played with oily oars.

looked at Cheng Wanyu's excited little face and listened to her wanton and cheerful laughter. Lychee really doesn't understand why she doesn't cherish such a good background so much.

Ermao and Heidou were swimming in the water while pushing the boat, and Cheng Wanyu, who was already exhausted, stood on it.

The three masters and servants quietly came behind Xiao Cui and saw Xiao Cui and Dayong picking leaves high in the water.

Cheng Wanyu had a bad heart together, picked up the oars and hit countless splashes. In an instant, Xiaocui and Dayong turned into water dogs, and Xiaohong, who survived the disaster, laughed.

While laughing and paddling with his feet, the two sides pinched and made Xiaocui and Dayong become water dogs.

After such a toss, the master and servant have a lot of close relationship. There is less respect for the past that is thousands of miles away.

was about tired of playing, and Cheng Wanyu simply sat on the boat. I didn't feel how disgusting the fishy smell was before, but now I can reach out and move around in the water.

Suddenly, Cheng Wanyu shouted loudly: "Shen Guard, Shen Guard!" ”

Shen Escort and Yang Escort immediately rushed to the shore, and heard Cheng Wanyu waving his hand excitedly: "There are fish here, catch the fish here." ”

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the young lady wanted to see the fish. Shen Huwei secretly shook the cold sweat on his head, and secretly thought that something big had happened.

Cheng Wanyu saw Shen Escort roll up his pants and sleeves and walk barefoot into the river. He didn't use any weapons, so he just stood there catching fish with his bare hands.

But with a cup of tea, he caught five or six. Cheng Wanyu, who watched it, was dumbfounded, and gave him a thumbs up again and again.

Yang Escort looked funny, and shook his head with a smile with Steward Fan: "Our young lady is really a child, and it is easy to satisfy." ”

Fan Zhongen also nodded, and his deep voice smiled and was pleasant: "Well, no wonder the old man loves her so much." ”

Since there are fish, there is no hurry to go back to the city. Cheng Wanyu asked a few men to light a fire on the spot and grill fish. As for Xiao Cui, who was drenched all over, she asked her to go to the carriage to change into her clothes.

Xiao Cui and the others were shocked, only thinking that Cheng Wanyu would let Xiao Cui roast the fire before leaving, and never thought that they could wear her clothes.

"Miss, no!" Xiaocui spoke incoherently excitedly, and the clothes placed in the car were also Cheng Wanyu's favorite things.

What is your identity, how can you be so disregarding the rules?

"It's so cold now, and you're not a young man like Dayong." Cheng Wanyu didn't care. Xiaocui still refused to get into the carriage.

In desperation. Cheng Wanyu said apologetically: "I forgot when I played before, but just now I remembered that you had a menstrual affair in the past two days." This is not a joke, when you are young, you catch a cold, and when you are old, you will be sad. ”

Xiaocui's teary eyes were very moved. knelt down and kowtowed to Cheng Wanyu. Turning around and getting into the carriage, Cheng Wanyu smiled and turned to look at the grilled fish.

Lychee stood aside and looked at Xiaohong's moved appearance, and sneered: "It's just a small skill of carving insects to buy people's hearts, and it's worth your way!" ”

Little Red sighed. whispered: "Miss is very good, not what you think." We're here to serve Miss. How good it is. ”

Lychee pouted: "Maybe, I'll be a maid who does my duty." What else could you do? ”

Xiaocui walked out in Cheng Wanyu's clothes, a little thin, but it was okay. She was not used to touching the material on her body, it was slippery and soft, and she never dreamed that she would wear it so well.

Shen Escort saw Xiao Cui, who was nervous, coming over. smiled and nodded: "Hey, it's really people who rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles." I don't even know Miss Xiaocui dressed up like this. ”

Cheng Wanyu also looked back. smiled and said, "Xiao Cui, I will wear some brightly colored clothes in the future." How beautiful it looks to be on the face. Don't dress like an old lady. ”

Xiao Cui grinned stupidly, with a look of happiness and satisfaction: "The dark color is not easy to get dirty, and I don't dare to wear too fancy when I work all day!" ”

Lychee sneered and said to Xiaohongnu: "Just her?" She looks like a female worm, and she thinks she is a fairy when she wears a good dress? ”

Xiaohong frowned and hurriedly pushed the lychee, looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, so she was relieved.

After the master and servant ate the grilled fish, they returned to the city with a large pile of reed leaves.

After entering Huaizhou Mansion, Cheng Wanyu felt hungry. If she was like that, then the others would be very hungry too.

There is no ready-made food in the kitchen, and Xiao Cui has to cook again. Thinking about it, it is also troublesome, Cheng Wanyu shouted Steward Fan, let's go to the restaurant for a meal today.

Ermao and the others have never entered the restaurant, and Xiaocui and a few little girls have never seen the world. Hearing the young lady say that she was going to eat in a famous restaurant in the city, Le's cheeks grinned at the corners of her eyes.

After entering the private room, Cheng Wanyu asked everyone to eat at the same table with her. Because of the experience of eating fish and playing in the water together just now, a few people didn't feel any better.

After eating and drinking, a group of nine people walked home. Not far from home, I found a man sleeping at the gate.

Escort Shen turned over and dismounted, strode to the door, raised his foot and kicked the man awake. Seeing the person coming clearly, he couldn't help frowning: "Why are you?" Didn't he give you money? ”

Hearing this, Cheng Wanyu knew who was coming even if she was sitting in the carriage. Without thinking about it, she opened the curtain and walked out, standing on the carriage and asking condescendingly, "Is the eldest brother here?" ”

Cui Xibin stood up and said to Cheng Wanyu with a smile: "Yes, brother and sister...... Oh no, it should be called Miss Cheng...... That's not right, Miss Cheng......"

"Just call me Jiuniang." Cheng Wanyu jumped out of the carriage and smiled disapprehantly.

Seeing the burden beside Cui Xibin, he said with a smile: "Are you here to sell zongzi in the city?" (To be continued)
