Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Dawn and the Feast
Li Ge stared at Yun Shu's eyebrows, but Yun Shu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Li Ge in a daze, without blinking.
Li Ge was taken aback: Could it be that she woke up early? Deliberately pretending to be asleep? Didn't she know that she was staring at her like that just now? Thinking of this, my cheeks instantly flushed.
Yun Shu stared at Li Ge in a daze, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Not really? Are you awake? What are you staring at me for? Li Ge blushed and looked at him left and right.
Yun Shu pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother Li, guess how I woke up?" ”
"Huh? I saw that you slept well, and suddenly you opened your eyes, what? Is it a nightmare? Li Ge said with concern.
"I also feel puzzled," Yun Shu stretched and sat up straight, "I slept soundly, like I was still dreaming, and suddenly I woke up, and I always felt like I was being woken up." ”
"That's an exaggeration! Illusion! No, it won't! How can you still be awakened? Early in the morning, you don't want to fool me! Li Ge was walked by the Tao, and his words became flustered.
Yun Shu looked at him at a loss and looked embarrassed, and couldn't help giggling, "Did Brother Li sleep well last night?" ”
Yun Shu diverted the topic, making Li Ge's embarrassment a little. "It's good. It's just that last night, one of us occupied the bed and the other occupied the small couch, I don't know how Mr. Yan rested last night? ”
"Oh, father-in-law, father-in-law? Are you back? Yun Shu remembered what happened last night.
A voice outside the house said, "I'm back early." Yan Shizhen lifted the curtain and pushed the door in.
"Father-in-law!"
"Mei'er, awake? I'm about to wake you up, are you sleeping well? ”
"I wanted to wait for my father-in-law to come back last night, but I rested on my father-in-law's bed, and I felt very safe, and I couldn't help falling asleep while waiting. It hurt that the father-in-law had nowhere to rest, and his eyebrows were ashamed. ”
"No problem, no problem. You haven't had a good rest for days, and so is this stinky boy. Yan Shizhen looked at Li Ge with a rare smile.
Li Ge was embarrassed by his laughter.
"Okay, get up quickly, my righteous father made his own breakfast, get up and enjoy your face."
"Wow, I haven't tasted my father's craft yet, I'm looking forward to it!" Yun Shu said excitedly.
Yan Shizhen smiled when he heard this, turned his head to the curtain and said, "Ziyun, come in and help your young lady wash up!" ”
Ziyun and Huanli came in with toiletries.
"Let's go, boy, why don't you wash your face? Look at the sesame paste in the corner of your eye! Yan Shizhen looked disgusted.
Hearing this, Li Ge quickly covered his face with his hand, "Then I'll go out first, Sister Shu." After that, without waiting for Yun Shu to speak, he lowered his head and hurried out of the house.
Under the corridor, Li Ge rubbed the corners of his eyes. Mr. Yan is really not a worry-free person, deliberately joking to himself, where is the sesame paste? Hum! Disrespectful for the old! Suddenly thinking of last night's incident, he turned around and bumped into Yan Shizhen's arms who came out of the house.
Yan Shizhen didn't give up any opportunity to make fun of Li Ge, patted Li Ge's back, and said with a smile: "Yo you, it's early in the morning, what's wrong?" If you have anything on your mind, tell me about it. ”
Li Ge broke away from Yan Shizhen, and his face was unhappy: "Mr. Yan, why don't you speak properly?" ”
"Not in shape? Boy, thanks to your bad idea, I went out last night, my experience was very unpleasant, I haven't settled accounts with you, you still dare to have this attitude? ”
When Li Ge heard this, he changed his smile and said, "Mr. Yan, what news did you find out last night?" ”
Yan Shizhen glanced at the smiling face that Li Ge had transformed, and sneered, "The news, naturally, there is it, but I don't want to tell you." With that, he brushed his sleeves away.
Li Ge was not angry when he heard this, but fell into thought.
Seeing that Yan Shizhen's words were relaxed in the morning, and his smile kept coming, it seemed that he did find out the news last night, and it shouldn't be bad, but he was just playing tricks and didn't want to tell himself. This at least shows that the little gentleman may not have malicious intent towards her eyebrows, but if there is no malicious intent, then what does it mean?
In the dining room, Yun Shu opened the tea bowl in front of her, and a sweet and tempting heat came to her nose, and she couldn't help but say, "It's so fragrant!" Father-in-law, what is this? ”
"This is called 'Grandma Tea', my father-in-law once drank it in the market, and now I draw a gourd in the same way, I don't know if you like it or not, try it, be careful, don't burn your mouth."
Yun Shu took a sip carefully and took another sip. "How?" Yan Shizhen said eagerly.
Yun Shu exclaimed: "The lips and teeth are fragrant, it is really good tea, I didn't expect my father-in-law to be a good hand at cooking morning tea!" What's in this tea? ”
Yan Shizhen was a little overjoyed when he heard this: "Roasted yellow chestnuts, fried white sesame seeds, olives, walnuts, etc. are ground into powder, and fried with tea." After the tea is boiled, light it with cold water, and so on again and again, in order to achieve the effect of both color and flavor. If you like, let the cook cook it for you every day. ”
While Yan Shizhen was talking, Yun Shu had already finished drinking one without stopping, and she had to add more. Yan Shizhen said with a smile: "Drink tea to moisten your mouth, if you like it, drink it later, eat first." ”
As they were talking, Ziyun and Huanli held a bowl of small wontons and a plate of fried steamed buns in front of each of them.
"The cook said that you love to eat wontons, so try the little wontons made by your father-in-law today," and pointed to the plate of steamed bread slices, "This is called 'Crispy Qiongye' is to slice the steamed bread, wrap it in oil and honey and roast it on the fire until the color is golden, crispy and crispy, and it is crispy and crispy in the mouth, like a snowflake falling to the ground." It's a snack outside, and it's fresh. Today's preparation was insufficient, and I made this after a busy morning. ”
"All of this was done by my father-in-law who got up early?" Yun Shu listened to Yan Shizhen's introduction, and looked at the steaming breakfast in front of her.
"yes, don't be stunned, try it." Yan Shizhen urged.
"It's so nice for my father-in-law to treat my eyebrows!" Yun Shu felt that her eyes were hot. In the cold morning, she made breakfast for herself, her father and mother were gone, and her father-in-law was trying to continue his care for her, and she could feel every bit of it.
"Silly girl, if your father-in-law is not good to you, who else should be good?" Yan Shizhen raised his hand to caress her girl's bun.
Li Ge silently drank grandma tea, looking at the father-daughter relationship in front of him, a little jealous. "Today, I have occupied the light of my eyebrows, and I will also taste this crispy qiong leaf." Seeing that Yun Shu couldn't hold back her tears, Li Ge interjected, picked up a crispy qiong leaf and put it in his mouth, "It really tastes wonderful, eyebrows, taste it." ”
Yun Shu smiled at Li Ge, and then smiled at Yan Shizhen. Everything is a new beginning.
"Hurry up and eat, it won't taste good if it's cold!" Yan Shizhen said with love and pity.
Yun Shu held chopsticks in one hand, spoon in the other, a mouthful of steamed buns, and a mouthful of wontons, "Well, it tastes really good!" Thanksgiving father! ”
I haven't had breakfast like this in a few days.
This is the end of the first month.
"Mei'er, I'm going to school today, and I can't stay at home with you anymore." Li Ge tastelessly bit the wonton.
"So fast?" Yun Shu stopped eating the fragrant crispy qiong leaves and was stunned.
"It's not fast! He doesn't read books these days, where is he like a reader, it is better to be a brow. Yan Shizhen quipped.
"Brother Li is all because of me, these geniuses have wasted studying." Yun Shu said, and couldn't help lowering her head.
"Tsk, it seems to have lost my words." Yan Shizhen took a bite of the crispy qiong leaf, and his mouth was crispy, and he didn't answer anymore.
Li Ge saw Yun Shu helping him speak, Yan Shizhen was deflated, and his heart suddenly rejoiced again. "It's okay, don't you know me yet? If you don't study these days, you won't miss anything. ”
"Scholars, you have to read every day, you can't be wasted because of your intelligence, like Master Qin, even if you don't take scientific exams anymore, you still have books in your hand every day. It's not good for me these days, and you can't even study with peace of mind. ”
"You think, I get up early and go to bed late all year round and study hard, this year, I always have to take a break, it's really nothing. Or, when I go back to the school palace, I will read all the books I owe in the past few days, and you will come to investigate! ”
Li Ge said generously, and Yun Shu couldn't help but laugh when she heard it. "I'm looking at your homework? I still have a few more years to learn! ”
"I can investigate!" Yan Shizhen swallowed the last bite of crispy Qiong leaves, "Investigate for Mei'er!" It's not that hard. ”
When Li Ge heard this, he muttered, "Why are you everywhere?" ”
"Mei'er will be under my control in the future, if you come to Mei'er, naturally I will be everywhere! Why do you have such a big opinion about me? "Yan Shizhen hit a rake.
"Mei'er, take care of your father-in-law, if he continues like this, it is estimated that he will not let me come to the door in the future." Li Ge complained to Yun Shu.
"Tsk, boy, how do you speak? I'm still here! Complain while I'm not here? Yan Shizhen was dissatisfied.
Yun Shu looked at the two bickering and said with a smile: "Why wouldn't your father-in-law let you in?" If you weren't there, my father-in-law would have no one to talk about, and I guess I would be very anxious and bored! ”
"No, no, this kid isn't here, didn't Mei'er and I have a good time?" Yan Shizhen said.
"I'll come when I'm free, and I can't stop it." Li Ge showed his power to Yan Shizhen.
"Then don't stop it, sprinkle and sweep the courtyard to welcome Li Gongzi." Yan Shizhen didn't care.
Li Ge choked angrily, no longer quarreled with Yan Shizhen, and turned to Yun Shu: "I'm not here today, that little gentleman is here, you have to pay attention." This was said to Yun Shu, and it was also said to Yan Shizhen.
"Well, I'll pay attention. You've been here all these days, and you've got everything you need to prepare to go to the Academy, but you're all ready? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, Mingxin will help me sort it out, and I will take it directly to the School Palace, and I will go directly to the School Palace in a while."
"Brother Li went to the school palace, just study with peace of mind, I have my father-in-law and Steward Meng here, and there will be nothing wrong."
"Well, you're fine."
After breakfast and sending Li Ge away, Yun Shu returned to the study to read the account book.
After looking at it for a while, Yun Shu raised her head from the ledger. Yan Shizhen, who originally insisted on accompanying her and drinking tea on the couch under the study window, took a nap, after all, he was not young, he didn't sleep all night, and he was busy all morning.
Yun Shu put down the account book in her hand, turned out the desk, and walked to the couch. "Father-in-law, why don't you go back to the house and rest, you don't have to look at me here. In broad daylight, I'm going to be fine. ”
"Huh? Ah, I fell asleep. Yan Shizhen opened his eyes, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip. No, no, the highlight of the day isn't on the scene yet, so I'll go back to the house when I'm done. You can go ahead and look at the ledger, maybe it will come in a moment. ”
