Chapter 38: A slap in the face for a sweet date
It is just common for dignitaries and nobles to give concubines to each other, and concubines are just an object for venting in their eyes.
It's like Feng Chumad himself said: "Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, and the two of us are friends in a pair of pants." ”
Packed up and sent away with righteousness, and thunder was furious, in the end, which one is the attitude that a man should have towards his own woman?
Hua Qianshu rubbed her bruised hand lightly and paused.
The door rang, and Walnut leaned out, a little girl with raw eyes, pushed open the courtyard door, and poked in a small head.
Walnut lifted the curtain out, and the little girl smiled timidly at her: "Is it Sister Walnut?" The old lady sent me to send Aunt Hua a box of medicine to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis. ”
Reaching out to the walnut, there was a white jade porcelain box in the palm of his hand.
Walnut happily took it in her hand: "Thank you, girl, and thank you to the old lady for your concern." ”
The little girl retracted her head, closed the door and left.
Walnut eyebrows fluttered back to the house, and handed the ointment to Hua Qianshu: "The old lady specially sent someone to send it, you see, the old lady is still very eager to see you." ”
How is that possible?
Hua Qianshu fixed his eyes to see, I don't know how the ointment works, just look at the box, crystal clear, quite provocative, this ointment must be worth a lot.
She took it in her hand, opened the lid of the box, and when she smelled the aroma, she was stunned.
It's all too familiar.
In the previous life, there was no seriousness in letting go of his hands and feet at night, and after he was happy, he often fell all over the plum blossoms, with bruises. Originally, it didn't matter about the itching, but Yefang didn't say a word, and someone sent the ointment to help her apply it little by little, and she was very patient.
It's just that, often, when the medicine is half-applied, he lowers his lips heavily again and eats a full mouth.
When the lips swam to the lips of Hua Qianshu, she tasted the smell of the ointment, with the fragrance of snow lotus and the slightest sweetness.
Was this medicine rewarded by the old lady? Where could the old lady treat herself like this? She was already very merciful when she shouted "should be beaten" in misfortune.
Seeing that she was stunned, Walnut asked out loud, "Auntie, can I help you coat it?"
Hua Qianshu came to his senses and put it aside: "That's it, it doesn't hurt." ”
Walnut was a little anxious: "If you apply this bruise, it will dissipate quickly, otherwise it will be too ugly." ”
Hua Qianshu said nonchalantly: "Who is it looking good for?"
Walnut didn't know how to persuade him.
The courtyard door was pushed open from the outside.
This time, the person who came was not polite, and walked in directly with the curtain lifted, and bowed to Hua Qianshufu.
"Aunt Hua is blessed. ”
She is the rough girl who helps the kitchen in the kitchen, and she is also the best sworn sister of walnuts.
There are two very different versions of the two swearing.
Walnut's version says that when she first came to the Nishang Restaurant, she was always bullied by other maids and mothers-in-law when she ate, and she was always unable to eat. And Yuqiu'er once, she would rather be hungry and stuffed her with the only two buns.
Walnut was moved for a while, and felt that Yu Qiu'er must be a girl with a good character of self-sacrifice, so she took her around the kitchen, and did not find the image of Master Guan, so she became sisters with different surnames in front of the Lord of the Stove.
The two greedy little girls married Jin Lan because of the two buns, Hua Qianshu felt that it would be more complementary to ask the Lord of the Stove to testify, and Master Guan would despise them.
As for the two steamed buns, Yukuer was embarrassed to tell Hua Qianshu that in fact, as soon as the buns came out of the cage, she secretly ate several, and the stuffing of the buns reached her throat, and she couldn't swallow it. I was afraid that the rest would be discovered by Liu's mother, so I stuffed walnuts. In fact, Walnut is not stupid at all, she has never been hungry since she married herself.
Yukuer is a little girl as cute as a walnut, as her name suggests, her face is a little round, and her body is a little fat.
Hua Qianshu has always felt that the fat people have a wide heart and a fat body, and the fat people have a lot less calculations, so they have more flesh. She loves fish balls as much as she does.
These two little girls came together, blowing nonsense, and they were excited to lift the roof, just like two little milk dogs with cheerful tails.
Hua Qianshu smiled slightly: "Are you busy in the kitchen?"
Yuqiu'er shook her head: "I just washed and cut the lunch meal, looked at the emptiness, said to Liu's mother and came over, and sent some food to the walnuts." ”
"What to eat?" "Walnut immediately became interested.
"Just the fennel bread I told you last time. ”
I hadn't heard of this eater Qianshu either, and looked at the fish balls.
Yuqiu'er stretched out his hand, opened the cage cloth, revealing the yellow-green bean flour cakes at the two corners, and smiled embarrassedly: "It's that the fennel seedlings on the head stubble are chopped, and they are put into the bean noodles, and they are baked on the iron pot until one side is golden and crispy, and they are eaten as dry food." This is coarse grain, Aunt Hua is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, polished rice and fine rice, and she must not be used to eating it. ”
Hua Qianshu broke a small piece to taste, it should be because it has been in the cage cloth for a long time, it is no longer crispy, and the entrance is a fresh fragrance of fennel and bean noodles, with a slight saltiness, but it is delicious, but it is indeed rough and a little spicy.
"The food at this farm is really delicious. ”
Seeing that she didn't dislike her, Yuku'er was a little excited: "If you use the elm money of the beginning of spring to make it, and roll it with a small tender onion dipping sauce, it will be even more delicious! My brother ran in a big restaurant in the city, and he learned a little bit of craftsmanship, and the boiled cakes were particularly fragrant."
Originally, I ate and drank well in the palace, and the food was finer than any of them, and I was hungry for this bite, so my brother immediately made it and asked someone to bring it in for me. ”
Hua Qianshu's heart couldn't help but move: "Your brother is in a restaurant in the city?"
Yuqiu'er nodded: "Yes, my family is a village farmer, and I let my brother enter a restaurant in the city, run a hall in the first three years, and then go into the kitchen to do chores in the next three years, and learn a little bit of restaurant craftsmanship." I won't be hungry in the future. ”
This girl is quite talkative, with a small mouth chattering.
"The two of you have a good idea. Hua Qianshu said lightly.
"Originally, I could go out of the house to see my brother every ten days and a half months. But the original cook in the small kitchen left, and Mama Yan asked me to replace her, and I kept dragging on not looking for a new chef. There is a lot of work every day, and neither I nor Mama Liu can get out of the house, and we haven't been out of the house for a long time. ”
"Why don't you find a new chef?" interjected Walnut curiously.
"The cook's monthly case is high in silver, and Mama Yan is making trouble from it, and she is greedy for the cook's monthly case, so she is naturally willing to drag it all the time. After all, I haven't been home for two or three months. ”
Hua Qianshu was silent for a moment, and after listening to Yuqiu'er, she raised her head: "Yuqiu'er, can you do my aunt a favor?"
Yuqiu'er immediately nodded happily: "Auntie can just tell me anything, as long as Yuqiu'er can do it, I will do my best." ”
Hua Qianshu hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Your brother is doing things in the restaurant, coming and going, mixed fish and dragons, presumably the news is well-informed, can you ask him to help inquire about the current situation of my family?"
As soon as these words came out, all three of them fell silent.
