Chapter 22: Bitten by a dog
"The prince doesn't go to Changfeng Hall to instruct a few ladies on their tunes, why are you running to me?" Xia sat on the brocade couch, stretched out his slender hand, and let the willow smoke kneeling on the ground paint his nails, and looked coldly at the delicate face in front of him, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
That man was really shameless, and he actually left Liu Yan that night, and even saved his humility.
"I heard that my sister has been a little angry lately, so I'll take a look at my brother." Xia Yunchu teased the little black dog in his arms, looked at Xia Shi teasingly, and said, "My sister's nails are really good-looking, I don't know if I can give some to my brother, and let your girl paint a little bit on my black tiger." ”
Xia Yunchu is the only sister-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, one year younger than the Xia family, but the two have gotten along well since childhood, and they have more contacts than the other sisters.
Chunyan Yingying on the side walked over and said with a smile: "The prince can really laugh, who dares to paint the nails of the black tiger, and besides, we are not ordinary girls." ”
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the willow smoke on the ground.
Liu Yan's face suddenly turned red.
"So, I'm abrupt." Xia Yunchu understood, looked Liu Yan up and down, and a smile appeared on his handsome face, "My sister is virtuous, and my brother-in-law also enjoys the blessings of all people, I don't know when my sister will also find a lovely person for my younger brother." ”
"Hmph, are there still few people in your room?" Xia Shi glanced at Xia Yunchu and said coldly, "You men are like this, you are all day long, eating in the bowl and thinking about the pot, there is no good thing. ”
"My sister said this, but she wronged me, those rooms were arranged by my mother, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet!" Xia Yunchu got up and walked around the house, then walked to Xia's side, and said in a low voice, "I heard that Sister Yu rejected the proposal of the Jingzhou Tong family, but she has someone in her heart?" ”
"Who knows if she has a crush on someone, that mourning star has a high vision! She can't do this for a reason, how can she always rely on her mother's family and not get married? Xia snorted coldly, looked up and saw the deep meaning in Xia Yunchu's eyes, his heart sank, and he asked vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?" "Could he be interested in that Dead Star?
"Nothing, just asking." Xia Yunchu smiled, handed the dog to the little guy on the side, and patted his shirt, "Sister is busy first, I'll go to Changfeng Hall." After speaking, he walked out with his personal servant.
"Liu Yan, the reason why I gave you to Da Lang is naturally because you are my companion, so what to do about some things, I understand it, let's talk about it in front, if you dare to get pregnant, I will never keep you." It wasn't until he watched the figures of the master and servant flicker past the window that Xia Shi looked at the painted nails, and said lightly, "In addition, you have to persuade Da Lang, men always have to be motivated, and you can't blindly put your mind on the little thing on the bed, only men are out, and we women can also raise our heads in front of people." ”
Liu Yan hurriedly responded.
But there was a sneer in my heart, persuading a man to be motivated or something, it was a matter for a wife, and she was a!
If Da Lang is annoyed, then won't she also be unlucky?
There is only one end for the unlucky Tongfang, and that is to be sold or given away.
When she's stupid!
"Alright, you go down!" Seeing her cautious appearance, Xia Shi became more and more annoyed the more he looked at her, and waved his hand at her impatiently.
Mu Yunche took the willow smoke by herself, but she never returned to the room, and she suddenly regretted it in her heart.
But after all, she sent Liu Yan over, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so she could only hold a bad breath in her heart.
"Young lady." Chunyan saw that the Xia family was lost, and naturally understood the reason in her heart, but she didn't break it, but just stepped forward and whispered, "The right slave is at the door, and I saw that the second young lady's maid Bitao went back to Jingzhou with a young man, and I heard that Chuntao's girl had an accident." Then, he told the Xia family the news he had inquired about.
"Hmph, they deserve to be unlucky, who is not good to provoke, and they are in trouble with the Jingzhou royal family." Xia Shi listened, and couldn't help but have a sneer on his face, "Speaking of which, I may not have been in contact with my cousin for a long time, and I don't know how she is doing in the Wang family?" ”
Xia's aunt's cousin Xu married Wang Ningxi's eldest son Wang Zixuan two years ago, and she just gave birth to a son not long ago, and she is gaining power in the Wang family.
"What do you mean?" Chunyan pretended to be puzzled.
"If I let the few dowry girls of the Shen family dangle around in Qingxin Garden, how can I put people in it?" Xia Shi smiled proudly, "The ready-made opportunity is in front of me, if I can't grasp it, then what else am I messing around in this mansion?" Send one away, count as one. "Spring peach and peach or something, she has long been unpleasant to see.
Especially that Bi Tao didn't weigh how many pounds and taels she weighed, and even her people dared to do it, she was really looking for death.
There is also the Shen family in Qingxinyuan, who thinks that if he hides in Qingxinyuan like a turtle and doesn't come out, he will be able to live a quiet life, and he thinks beautifully.
Although she is a concubine in her mother's family, she is the daughter of the dignified Muguo Mansion, how can she let a third-rate woman from the Mansion's house bully......
"The young lady is wise." Chunyan complimented, "The slave is going to grind the ink." ”
For the sake of safety, Xia took the time to personally send the letter back to his parents' house and handed it to his biological mother Wang, and by the way, he sarcastically and mockingly said about the dog-eat-dog incident of the two sons at the family banquet, and sighed half-truthfully at the moment, Erlang is indeed affectionate, unlike his own man, who can't take a step when he sees a woman.
When Wang heard this, he didn't squeak, turned his face away, and saw a trace of imperceptible coldness flash in his eyes.
Shen Qingli's side, because he had some silver in his hand, hurriedly sent the peach branch out to buy fresh vegetables and vegetables, and made dumplings in the kitchen with a clear eye.
In the past few days, the vegetables in her small kitchen have been purchased and sent by the public, and none of them can make dumplings.
Although dumplings are not a tall food, they are her favorite.
The three of them were wrapped in cloth towels on their heads, and the noodles were mixed with the noodles, and the stuffing was chopped with the stuffing, and there was laughter in the kitchen.
Even Mu An came over to see that Shizi's usual meals were also made here.
Now that Shen Qingli is married, the stove room is involuntarily divided into two sides.
The cook who was responsible for cooking for Mu Yunting was a middle-aged man, and he consciously gave up a few pots and stoves for them to use, the big man was very burly and sturdy, he was busy in the kitchen all day long, he worked very hard, and the food he cooked looked full of color, flavor, and taste, but it was a pity that he was a dumb person.
Mu An said that the big man's name is Shen He, although he is a mute, but his ancestor used to be an imperial chef, and his cooking skills are naturally very good.
The Shen family was also implicated in the restoration case of the former dynasty for more than 30 years, and the family was in the middle of the road and the clan was displaced.
When Youzhou rebelled, Shen He went to the barracks to cook for the soldiers in order to beg for food, Mu Yunting was full of praise for his cooking skills, and after the war, he brought it back to the Hou Mansion and became his special cook, and now, it has been six years.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingli looked at the burly figure with sympathy, this Shen He was also quite pitiful.
She made a good face and covered it with gauze.
I walked to the basin and washed my hands, and immediately a square cloth towel was handed over to me.
When she looked up, she saw Shen He holding a cloth towel and smiling at her.
"Thank you." Shen Qingli took the cloth towel, and when he thought that he couldn't speak, he smiled at him.
Shen He waved his hand and buried himself in chopping vegetables again.
In front of him was a large basin of washed pork knuckles, ribs, and sliced meat, and in another basin were several unnamed fish, and the board was full of all kinds of vegetables.
Oh, my God! How many people will be able to eat this?
"Miss Taozhi, what is a good day today, why did the young lady cook herself?" Mu An saw the peach branch stirring the cut leeks and mushrooms together, and stepped forward and asked suspiciously.
Cuizhi was cutting the meat, and interjected disappreciatively: "Our young lady has always been close to others, often cooks with us, and waits for a good day. ”
Momoeda smiled, no squeak.
"Hehe, our son likes to eat leeks the most, I don't know if this dumpling has our share?" Mu Anna glanced at Shen Qingli out of the corner of her eye, and saw that she didn't look at them, but just lowered her head and kneaded her face.
"Don't worry, it's all there." Momozhi whispered.
Mu An smiled knowingly, and walked out with two kettles reassuringly.
"I'll help you." Cuizhi had already cut the meat, wiped his hands, and calmly stepped forward to take the kettle in his hand.
Mu An hesitated for a moment, handed her the kettle, looked at Taozhi with complicated eyes, and saw that Taozhi was only concentrating on the filling, so he walked out of the kitchen with Cuizhi one after another.
After a while, Cuizhi hurriedly walked in, looked at Shen Qingli and Taozhi worriedly, and said, "Young lady, when Shizi was teasing the dog with Xia Shizi in Changfeng Hall just now, he was bitten by the black wind and is being bandaged in Changfeng Hall!" ”
Shen Qingli suddenly chuckled in his heart.
