Chapter 339: Chestnuts
The day after tomorrow is the New Year, Xu Qirong was very busy a few days ago, but now he is idle.
originally wanted to talk to Qi's family, but since he knew that Qi's was pregnant, Xu Tingyuan stopped going out anymore, and circled around Qi's at home all day long, how could she rely on it!
Xu Qirong couldn't cry or laugh, but thought in his heart that when the Shen family was pregnant with her and her sister, I was afraid that my father would also circle around the Shen family like this!
I had to go and accompany Princess Pingtai to relax.
When I first knew that Xu Tingjin was really not my eldest son, and that my eldest son had died more than thirty years ago, Princess Pingtai locked herself in her room, worshipping the Buddha sincerely every day, the food was not delicious, and she couldn't sleep well, and she was a lot haggard all of a sudden, but in just a few months, the original green silk had been mixed with half of the white hair.
Xu Qirong looked at it with a sour heart, not only the green silk turned into snow, but also the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and neck, and there were countless more at once.
There was another heavy snowfall last night, Xu Qirong accompanied Princess Pingtai to watch the mother-in-law sweep the snow with a small hand stove, there were two little maids who wanted to build a snowman, disgusted that the mother-in-law's broom was too dirty, and the snow swept was black and disgusting, and was messing with the mother-in-law who swept the snow.
There is no major event left and right, the New Year is over, the people in other courtyards are busy, and the people in Princess Pingtai's courtyard are not busy. The two little maids are young, just the age of cuteness, and the mother-in-law naturally will not be serious with them, but deliberately pretend to be against them and tease them.
made the two little girls angry for a while and coquettish and begging. Princess Pingtai looked at it, and I don't know if she thought of the unborn child in Qi's belly. There was an emotion similar to tenderness on his face.
Xu Qirong saw it in his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, this person. You still have to look at the outside world more, how can you be in good spirits if you keep yourself stuffy?
Xu Qirong reached out and took a silver skewer, fiddled with it in his small hand stove, and then took out a roasted chestnut from it, and put a piece of brocade on his hand to pick it up.
I'm afraid of being hot, and I want to eat it. The expression is tangled.
Princess Pingtai's eyes were withdrawn from the two little maids to look at Xu Qirong, her expression was still so indiscriminate, and she said, "Mama Gui." Go and peel her and see how hungry she is! ”
"Sister Rong has always been greedy, the old slave has lived for so long, and I have never seen a little lady who loves to eat more than our Sister Rong. She's the kind of character. I can't say that when I drink Meng Po soup, I have to ask for two more bowls with Meng Po, and one bowl can't taste at all! Does Your Highness remember when she was in Lan Zhi Courtyard, the grapes were so sour that the birds refused to peck them, but she was good and ate them all. Mama Gui laughed as she reached out to Xu Qirong to pick up the chestnut.
Xu Qirong had to put a lot of effort into eating more, but now she listens to Mama Gui expose her shortcomings. Anyway, the people present are all people who have watched her grow up, and she is not shy. Instead, he shrank his hand, avoided Mama Gui, put the Jinpa on the table, and carefully peeled the chestnut shell with his fingernails.
The chestnuts have exploded, but they are not difficult to peel.
Mama Gui smiled: "This child, I'm still afraid that the old slave will rob her of food!" ”
Princess Pingtai couldn't help laughing, but Xu Qirong had already peeled the ripe chestnuts that were still steaming in front of Princess Pingtai with a brocade pato.
"Grandmother, the chestnuts in Fuzhou City are not crisp enough, they taste a little soft when eaten raw, and they are very sweet, but when they are roasted, they are much more delicious than the chestnuts in Xijing City, grandmother, you can taste it."
Princess Pingtai pursed her lips and refused to reach out to take it, but Xu Qirong was persistent, just didn't take her hand back, Princess Pingtai glanced at her helplessly, lowered her head and put the chestnut in her mouth with Xu Qirong's hand, and sure enough, her lips and teeth were fragrant.
I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, this child, really thinking about herself, she was so greedy, she had been simmering in the hand stove for a long time, and she peeled them for herself to eat.
Then I saw Xu Qirong holding the silver skewer from before and continuing to play with it in the hand stove, and after a while, he pulled out a cracked chestnut.
This Xu Qirong was peeled to Mama Gui.
It wasn't until the third one entered Xu Qirong's own mouth, and the fourth one was peeled to Princess Pingtai. Princess Pingtai was a little stunned, such a small hand stove, how many chestnuts did she simmer in it?
Xu Qirong peeled chestnuts and said to Princess Pingtai: "Grandmother, when we finish eating this stove, we will eat the one in your hand." ”
Princess Pingtai was stunned, and chestnuts were also simmered in her small hand stove? When did Sister Rong stuff chestnuts into her hand stove!
was peeling chestnuts, and suddenly heard Yu Xia looking for him: "Girl, someone outside is looking for a girl." ”
Xu Qirong said curiously: "At this time, who will look for me!" Then he guessed, "Isn't it Xu Yuanshuang?" ”
Yu Xia didn't nod or shake her head, Princess Pingtai said to Xu Qirong: "You go, don't worry too much about me, I'll sit here for a while." Then he pointed to the two little maids who were happily building snowmen with the help of the snowsweepers, "I'm here to watch them build snowmen." ”
Xu Qirong nodded.
Mama Gui smiled and said, "Sister Rong, just go, the old slave will help His Highness peel chestnuts and eat them." ”
Xu Qirong nodded and said with a smile: "Mama Gui, after eating the chestnuts, if you still want to simmer, you must first use a knife to cut on the chestnut shell, otherwise it will jump around after it is cooked, and it will not be good to hurt people." ”
Princess Pingtai waved her hand to let her go first, and Mama Gui smiled and said, "This kid has experience in eating chestnuts!" ”
Princess Pingtai was in a good mood, and she also had the idea of joking with Mama Gui, and her face was cold when she joked: "She loves to eat so much, you controlled her diet back then, I can't tell how much I hate you in my heart!" ”
Mama Gui smiled and said, "Look at what His Highness said, how could Miss hold a grudge because of a bite of food!" ”
Princess Pingtai said meaningfully: "That's not a bite to eat!" Just when Mama Gui pondered the meaning of Princess Pingtai's words, Princess Pingtai continued, "That's a lot of stuttering!" ”
Mama Gui choked, and then reacted that Princess Pingtai was joking with herself, and couldn't help but feel relieved, she was willing to joke, indicating that she was in a very good mood.
Xu Qirong walked out of Princess Pingtai's courtyard and met Xu Chen. Xu Chen was holding Xu Qiyu in his hand, followed by a box of cloves.
Xu Qirong hurriedly asked for peace, and Xu Qirong smiled and said, "Sister Fifteen, are you coming out of your uncle and grandmother?" We haven't played together for a few days, and I haven't thanked my fifteenth sister for the purse she brought me last time! ”
Xu Qirong smiled and said, "Are you here to see my grandmother?" ”
Xu Chen nodded: "I heard that my sister-in-law's body and bones have improved a lot, so I will take Sister Yu to make trouble with her." ”
Xu Qirong looked at Xu Qirong with blank eyes: "Where is the fifteenth sister?" ”
Xu Qirong said with a smile: "Miss Xu Si is here, talk to me, I'll go see her." ”
Xu Chen said: "Then you go quickly, it's not good to let people wait." Then he pulled Xu Qiyu and continued to walk towards Princess Pingtai's courtyard. Xu Qixuan looked back at Xu Qirong's back dryly, she also wanted to talk to Miss Xu Si, but her grandmother said that she was taking her to relieve her boredom for her uncle and grandmother, and seeing that the yard of the uncle and grandmother was about to arrive, she couldn't run away this time!
Thinking about it like this, Xu Qiyu felt that he was really a responsible person, and followed Xu Chen into Princess Pingtai's courtyard with his chin raised. When I saw someone building a snowman in the yard, and saw Mama Gui peeling and simmering chestnuts, the tip of her nose was full of the fragrance of chestnuts, and I was even more happy.
