Chapter 2 Barbecue
Shi Qingqing casually took out a Northern Xia miscellaneous book from the bookshelf and put the hibiscus pastry in his hand on the table by the window.
Because I accidentally hit my brain before, the imperial doctor instructed that it is not appropriate to use my brain too much for the time being... Belch... That's probably what it means...
But Shi Qingqing is really a little bored, Shi Qingqing has played those things that he used before Shi Qingqing has played no less than seven or eight hundred times, and there is nothing to do, so don't let me watch some wild history?
It's just a day like no other.
Shi Qingqing took a bite of hibiscus cake and turned the page with one hand, and was very glad that Xi'er was not there, otherwise she would have confiscated these.
Before the words fell, I heard the footsteps of "Knock Knock...".
Who else can have this footsteps, the corners of Shi Qingqing's mouth couldn't help twitching!
"Miss, the imperial doctor said that you should rest for the time being, don't do these brain-consuming things, and ah, you will have to eat later, so don't eat such a stagnant thing, lest you can't eat for a while, and you will be hungry at night." Xi'er said that she was about to step forward and take away the things in Shi Qingqing's hand.
Shi Qingqing didn't let it, his words were earnest, and he didn't have the sharpness of Fang Cai to the two little girls, "Xi'er~~ You're the best, this book is an ordinary story, why do you need to use your brain, you underestimate me too much!" ”
"Miss, it's not too early this time, Xiangye should be going to set up a meal later, before you either didn't go, or you were late, they were originally dissatisfied with Miss, if this is often the case, it is inevitable that there will be greater contradictions, although how they think it is their business, but after all, under the same roof, life still has to go on, Miss, what do you say?" Xi'er looked bitter, she didn't plan to speak directly with Shi Qingqing, and planned to use roundabout tactics.
Sure enough, after a while, Shi Qingqing handed over the book very unwillingly, "What you said makes sense, then let's go!" ”
"Hey, Miss, please!"
Actually, Shi Qingqing knew that what Xi'er said was right, in the past two days, Xi'er also persuaded her, afraid that Shi Qingqing would not be able to let go and put herself in, and Shi Qingqing saw it in his eyes.
Xi'er is right, even if anyone can not give face, but the head of the family must give, otherwise, even if he has new evidence, he is weak and has no one to support, so he can only watch the murderer go unpunished?
Shi Qingqing understood.
"Hmm!" Shi Qingqing responded lightly and walked ahead.
"You went to the front yard to deliver pastries to Mother Lian this time, have you found out the list of people who cut the sixth lady this time?" Shi Qingqing asked casually while arranging his clothes.
Xi'er picked up the thick brocade cloak of the eight regiments on Mu Shi's head and put it on Shi Qingqing, "Indeed, as Miss expected, Haiyu has already sent out of the house in this list." ”
Although Haiyu didn't know much about this matter, she was also an insider, and she was afraid that the sixth lady would not let her go when the time came.
"You secretly send someone to remind her, and let her go as far as possible while the sixth lady has no time to take care of it!"
"Yes!"
As soon as Shi Qingqing Fang stepped out of the threshold, she heard someone calling her behind her.
I can't help but look back.
I saw Tingting, a young girl wearing a pale pink palace gauze and golden silk shark robe, standing in front of the pond.
With a smile, the water vapor in his eyes is like a little light, reflecting the clear pool water on the side.
"Xiangrong, why are you here?" Shi Qingqing took a few steps forward, handed the small golden furnace in his hand to Xi'er, and then took Shi Xiangrong's hand.
"I heard that my father sent someone to invite Master Nangan from Yunyang Pavilion to cook today, I thought that Sister Qing should like these novelties, so I planned to come and call them together!"
Shi Xiangrong came several times two days ago and asked Shi Qingqing to go to the front yard to accompany Shi Xiang's father to dinner, but at that time, Shi Qingqing was awkward in his heart, where did he have the heart to eat!
It's hard work for the sake of the teacher!
After Shi Xiangrong finished speaking, seeing that Shi Qingqing's face did not fluctuate much, he couldn't help but say again: "Could it be that Sister Qing has already gotten the news?" ”
"Huh?" Shi Qingqing was stunned, what news?
The brain then received Shi Xiangrong's words, and hurriedly said: "How can it, I'm just thinking about what Master Nangan is cooking, what is it like?" ”
After the teacher wanted to hear it, he thought a small face, but he didn't know.
After hearing this, Shi Xiangrong took a step forward, bowed and said: "I heard from Mother Lian in the front yard that the master didn't bring a pot or shovel, as long as he had some charcoal fire and some iron shelves, the master said that he wanted to eat it while roasting on the spot, and I don't know how to eat it!" ”
When Shi Qingqing heard this, his eyes lit up, and he burned... Burn... Grill?
Shi Xiangrong listened to it, but the Erzhang monk was even more confused, and turned his head to ask Shi Qingqing, "Sister Qing has seen such a peculiar practice?" ”
Shi Qingqing naturally shook his head, if he said that he had seen it, it would really be a big deal.
"I don't know, let's go check it out, shall we?"
As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately echoed by Shi Xiangrong.
So, the two almost half-run.
On the spiritual level of communication between two foodies......
——————————————————
When he walked to the Plum Garden, Shi Qingqing realized that he and Shi Xiangrong were still late.
Shi Shumei and Shi Shuying were already gathered in front of Master Nangan, and they couldn't help but drool to moisturize.
Seeing that Shi Qingqing and Shi Xiangrong were coming, they glanced at it lightly, and then ignored it and did not come forward to say goodbye.
Shi Qingqing naturally didn't pay attention to the villainous nature of the two, and glanced around lightly, in a trance.
Because it is a barbecue, the smell of smoke can not be located in the hall, it happens that the courtyard of the plum garden is very spacious, although it encounters heavy snow, but the 'spring' does not decrease, it is located here.
The father and the eldest mother were at the top, and they set up a big cowhide tent with a crane pattern, separated from the Nangan master who was barbecuing with a veil.
The rest of the ladies are on the left.
Of course, these ladies will naturally not include the sixth lady.
Shi Xiangrong secretly pulled Shi Qingqing's robe, signaling that he should go to greet Shi Xiang's father and aunt.
Shi Qingqing looked up, and saw that Shi Xiang's father really looked at him, his lips were pursed, and he was already impatient.
Shi Qingqing hurriedly stepped forward with Shi Xiangrong and said hello to Shi Xiang's father and aunt.
Seeing this, Shi Xiang's father just nodded lightly, and the eldest lady on the side grabbed Shi Qingqing with a warm face.
"How are you staying? At that time, the time was also relatively rushed, and the eldest lady made her own decisions, I don't know if you like it or not? ”
Shi Qingqing smiled slightly and nodded lightly.
"Have you been feeling any discomfort lately?"
Shi Qingqing smiled slightly and shook his head.
"If there is anything missing to tell the aunt, the aunt will definitely try her best to do it!"
Shi Qingqing smiled slightly, looked at the eldest lady gratefully, and nodded.
The corners of the eldest lady's mouth twitched, she really couldn't talk anymore this day, so she had to force a smile and said, "Qing'er is hungry, right?" There are some good ones there, you can pad it first! ”
Shi Qingqing nodded, ready to get up and eat.
Shi Qingqing is secretly proud of his attributes, and he doesn't want to pretend to be stupid when he talks to others, so the other party is naturally not good at care.
Shi Qingqing felt that this attribute should be widely used.
Just as he was proud, he suddenly heard a deep voice in a deep voice: "Qing'er, this roast sheep will take a while, you go to the study with me first!" ”
Shi Qingqing stumbled as he was about to eat, "Yes, Daddy!" ”
Shi Qingqing was all up and down all the way, and he was very worried.
Looking at the appearance of the teacher's father, he was a little strict, but his father's face was always eight winds immovable.
Judging from this is unfounded.
Shi Qingqing pursed his lips, hid the gluttonous worms in his stomach first, and followed Shi Xiang's father seriously.
That's always right.
Shi Xiang's father didn't say anything along the way, just walked in front, his steps were a little stiff and unnatural, thinking that he was taking care of Shi Qingqing's steps.
"Squeak-" With a sound, the father pushed open the door and walked straight to the Taishi chair in front of the bookcase.
Shi Qingqing then entered the door, and because it was the first time he came to Shi Xiang's father's study, he couldn't help but look around.
It made Shi Qingqing a little surprised.
The study room is surrounded by bookcases, on which all kinds of books are placed in each space, and there are many kinds of military, literary and historical, folk notes, etc.
However, literature and history seem to have turned a little more, and it is very bright under the light of the night pearl.
Shi Qingqing saw that his father gently brushed the hem of his clothes, settled on the chair, hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and stood quietly aside.
Shi Xiang raised his eyes, as if he didn't see Shi Qingqing's small movements, looked at Shi Qingqing and asked softly, "Qing'er, can you grind ink?" ”
Shi Qingqing nodded lightly.
"Go and bring me the pair of golden toad inkstones on the table!" Shi Xiang picked up the Taicang brush and touched it with his hand, and commanded casually.
Shi Qingqing was hooked up by the fragrance coming from the front yard that had just been hidden, and his heart couldn't help but be a little distracted.
It took a long time for the brain to receive instructions from the teacher's father.
"Oh...... Got it! Shi Qingqing looked at the face of Shi Xiang's father, who was as heavy as water, and felt weak for a while, and hurriedly lowered his head and went to the desk on the side to bring the pair of golden toad inkstones.
Then he stepped forward to the bookcase, picked up the porcelain pot and poured a little water, before picking up the soap-like ink ingot on the table and slowly adjusting it.
The front of the ink ingot is engraved with a bouquet of peach blossoms, lifelike, blooming extremely brightly, the peach is dying, scorching its bloom.
Shi Qingqing almost burned his eyes.
Because he was standing next to Shi Xiang, the atmosphere was very depressing, Shi Qingqing didn't even dare to breathe loudly, nor did he dare to think about the meaning of this bouquet of peach blossoms, so he only lowered his head and repeated the same action.
After a while, Shi Qingqing saw that the ink was moderately thick, so he put away the ink ingot and put it back in the small box on the side.
Seeing this, the teacher nodded lightly, picked up a Taicang brush casually, and danced on a very elegant piece of rice paper.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of lines have been written, and the peach blossoms looming on the rice paper gradually disappear under the vigorous and powerful pen of the teacher.
The face of the master was half hidden in the light, half soft and half cold like water.
"Mei'er, Rong'er and Ying'er have all gone to school, and when the spring of next year begins, the school will open, and you are not young this year, because of ...... I've been delaying my studies, so I want you to go to school next year, what do you think? ”
Shi Qingqing looked at Shi Xiang's face, and couldn't help but scold, is there room for refusal?
"Hmm...... It's all up to Daddy! ”
"Okay, you take this letter of recommendation first, the letter doesn't mention your identity, no matter what capacity you plan to go to the academy, it's okay!"
The teacher put away the pen while speaking, and his voice was not slow or slow, just like this, the ink color has always been from beginning to end, and the strength is measured calmly.
Shi Qingqing was a little puzzled, what did Shi Xiang's father mean by this?
Shi Xiang put the pen into the clear water pool on the side, personally opened the ink and cleaned it carefully, seeing that the silence on the side was not like words, he turned his head to look, and just put Shi Qingqing's expression of squeezing his eyebrows into his eyes.
"You can go as the eldest lady of my master's family first, and if you feel bored, then take my letter of recommendation and go to the master! He'll make other arrangements for you! ”
Shi Qingqing saw that the teacher's explanation was as if he didn't explain, so he had to nod his head, and it was not good to ask again!
After a while, the voice of Manager Xia knocking on the door sounded outside the door, "Qi Yu Xiangye, the eldest lady asked the servant to invite you, saying that it is good to roast the sheep, if you have talked about it, it is better to go and enjoy the food first!" ”
When Shi Qingqing heard this, he took out the washed brush and took a closer look under the night pearl, and the roots were evenly sized, as if they had not been used!
Shi Qingqing hurriedly held the clean handkerchief on the side to Shi Xiang to wipe his hands.
The hand raised by the teacher was obviously stiff, and then he understood, as if sighing, "Qing'er has grown up!" ”
“……”
"This pair of Jin Toad Yan has been with me for more than ten years, I see that your ink is grinding well, I will send you today, and I will let Fengxia send your Qingyuan to later!"
Seeing that Shi Qingqing was still stunned, he couldn't help shouting: "Let's go, don't let your aunt wait!" ”
Shi Qingqing had no choice but to trot and follow.
………………………………………….
The master ordered someone to put away the night pearl and hang it with a circle of red lanterns instead.
The surroundings darkened, but the sky brightened.
The stars are dotted, flickering brightly and darkly, like gems, like pearls, like children's crystal clear clean and pure eyes, like dew under the morning sun, shining brightly.
Set like a diamond in the deep blue night sky.
Master Nangan was at ease on the side, gently humming the ballad of Nangan.
Shi Qingqing took a bite of the big leg of lamb that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the slightest oil seeped out of the corners of his mouth, and Shi Qingqing hurriedly licked it back with his tongue.
When I closed my eyes, I was in a trance, like Mongolia that I graduated from that year.
Shi Qingqing suddenly opened his eyes and glared back viciously at Shi Shumei and Shi Shuying, who were staring at him.
I will not indulge in dreams anymore, and I will take back everything you owe me!
