Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Flowing Water Seat
Xiao Xi'er looked back at me, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious. I said to her, "Don't worry. ”
However, Xiao Xi'er didn't have much security about her younger brother, and looked at Yan'er on the other side of Nai's four-year-old, and after hesitation, she decided that she couldn't listen to Nai's four-year-old, so she said to him: "No." You can choose to sit on the other side of the first sister. ”
Nai's four-year-old is the kind of child who is shy and stubborn, and he is not very satisfied with his sister's arrangement, and then stares at me with big eyes: "First sister, you can tell my sister." ”
Obviously, Xiao Xi'er's plan is the best, but seeing that this four-year-old has such a strong desire to dominate, it is estimated that he will not give in. When I was in a dilemma, the little prince interjected again: "Han'er, if you don't want to, come to this little king." ”
In this comparison, no one will choose him.
When Nai was four years old, she saw that she had no right to speak, so she could only obediently get out of her chair and sit down in my lower seat.
As a result, the rock has become a situation where there are no neighbors left and right. This scene is indeed very embarrassing at the dinner. Sure enough, Yan'er's face obviously began to turn red, and I seemed to have inadvertently offended this girl again......
Who knew that the little prince Xuan opposite me got up directly and sat in the original seat of Nai's four years old, which indirectly soothed Yan'er's emotions for me.
To be honest, I suddenly felt that this guy was not as heartless as he seemed, and he could still see this kind of clue. I can't help but feel that I may have underestimated him too much before, and they all said that the psychological age of children in ancient times was mature, and now it seems that they are not only precocious in terms of starting a family, but also have a higher IQ than today's children.
The third prince saw that everyone was seated, so he beckoned to the little maid who was standing guard behind him and asked her to prepare the dishes.
So the maids behind us all started and gave us hot towels one by one to wipe our hands. The little maid who was introduced to the dish opened the door, and at some point stood outside the door with some little maids holding sunken wooden trays, and the fragrance of rice floated out along the cracks of the plates buttoned on the upper layer.
As soon as the door opened, they walked in in an orderly manner, the little girl who was beckoned just now, took out a cool glass bottle of water from the back of the mountain flowing water trifold screen, stood at the front end, and there was a tray maid in the other corner who took the tray in the hands of the tray maid and put it into the sink in front of the table, uncovered the buckle bowl above, a stack of three-color silk came into view, the maid holding the glass bottle slowly poured water into the side, the tray floating in the trough with three-color silk slowly went down the water, and the tray maid put the tray in the other hand into the sink, Uncover the buckle bowl, it is a cold green dish, the water-filled maid continues to pour water, so that the trays are lowered one by one, and there is another plate at the end of the table to help the tray move smoothly in the corner of the table, and another maid fills water at the tail end, and the two ends are filled with water The maid stands diagonally, and the arranging maid also stands diagonally, so that those plates return to the other end from the other end, and so on...... They cooperate quite tacitly, and the spacing of each dish can be grasped very well...... And I'm just dumbfounded, it's unbelievable, is this the legendary flowing water seat?
Surprised, several little maids came in, and they put chopstick rests in front of each of us, forming four empty spaces. Two pairs of chopsticks, two spoons, a small bowl and a food plate were placed on the edge of the long table in front of each person.
At the beginning of the banquet, the third prince of Najue smiled at everyone: "It's all your own family, you don't have to be polite, you can start the banquet." ”
I suddenly thought of the big long table outside, could it be the same situation? I couldn't help but look out the door, but I was too small to see the crowd in the distance.
Looking back at our table, I saw that everyone took a pair of chopsticks and put some side dishes into the food plate in front of them, and then put the chopsticks back in place, and then picked up another pair of chopsticks to pick up the side dishes to eat normally, and then when they picked up the dishes, they changed the chopsticks again. It dawned on me that I had two pairs of chopsticks because one pair was to be used as chopsticks, and it seemed that the two spoons were the same.
I can't help but be dumbfounded, this ancient person is really very exquisite.
I looked at the four-year-old Nai next to me, who could sit and eat silently, and the rules were still full of norms, and I suddenly felt that I was indeed too weak.
It seems that in the future, there is not only knowledge to learn, but also these rules, big and small.
In fact, the most incredible thing for me is still behind, there are two maids behind us who are observing the overall situation, if a dish is turned three times, no one eats, that dish will be out, these four maids are to observe which dishes are not popular, which dishes were eaten more at first but have never been passive in three circles, they take those dishes out to the maid who is waiting outside the door, and then take the other dishes and hand them to the arranging maid.
In this way, I ate a running water table, and I suddenly felt very tall. It's a Michelin-starred dining atmosphere.
The water level in the trough of the long table rose several times, and the maid who arranged the plate took a small spoon and scooped it out of the wooden bucket under the table little by little, and there were small fish occasionally swimming along the current, and the small waves in a circle made me worry about whether I would jump into the dish. However, this worry was indeed unnecessary, and the fish were shaking under the tray, and there was no such intriguing behavior.
But it seemed to be more lively outside, and there was actually dancing music to cheer up, and those women took out their unique skills one by one, and from time to time you could hear the lively laughter, or the song of yin and yang.
After all, we are all children here, and there are no adults looking at us, and we feel that our stomachs are full after not eating much. The third prince of Jue withdrew the banquet on behalf of his mother, so that we could move freely.
Nai, who was four years old, and Xiao Xi'er were relieved, and after the third prince left, they yelled.
Xiao Xi'er happily took my hand and said, "First sister, let's go out of the house." ”
Nai was four years old and looked forward to it, but I knew that this thing would definitely not work, so I quickly refused.
Noticing the quiet and somewhat excessive Prince Jun again. His right cheek still has the scar of the strain he had strained from archery a few days ago, and it has formed a pale scab, and he also uses his left hand when eating, but it does not affect his eating at all, I can't help but sigh, it seems that he is still a master who can do it with both hands.
He didn't seem to have any intention of bothering us people, and got up to leave.
The fifth prince of Yue stopped him and said, "Fourth brother, is it convenient to go to the forest to practice swords for a while?" ”
He glanced at the fifth prince of Yue, nodded in response, and then said, "You go first, and I will arrive later." ”
So the two of them said goodbye to us and retreated.
And the little prince Xuan didn't go with anyone, Xiao Xi'er didn't know why I didn't agree with her proposal, and shook my hand away: "Why? A sister, why can't you go out of the house. ”
Although I really like Xiao Xi'er and Nai's four-year-old, and I don't want to disturb their interest, but compared with the reaction of Mrs. An after she knew that I took them out of the house without permission, my desire to survive still took the lead.
I shook my head at the two children: "No, the first sister is sleepy after dinner, and she is a little tired." ”
When Na Yan'er heard it, he directly snorted coldly and said, "Count yourself interesting." If you dare to take them away, your aunt will punish you severely if she finds out. ”
Only then did Xi'er realize how much trouble she had brought to me. The little girl looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, sister, it's all bad to blame Xi'er." ”
I smiled and patted her on the head, "It's okay. But we don't have to go out of the house, a sister just saw a grove there, I can take you to play a novelty. ”
When Nai heard that I was going to take them to play with her, her big eyes immediately lit up again.
I glanced at the little prince Xuan, who was sitting in the seat without saying a word, and was ready to evacuate with Xiao Xi'er and Nai, who were four years old. Who knew that Yan'er actually opened his mouth to invite him: "Brother Xuan, are you willing to be together?" ”
I instantly felt that this rock was really sent by the heavens to oppose me, right? Why can she toss me what I don't want in my heart? Again, she herself was not in the scope of my invitation......
However, my lovely Xi'er really didn't have any scheming, and said to the little prince Xuan: "Yes, Brother Xuan will come to play together." ”
Nai, who was four years old, was an unbearable child, and while holding my hand, he muttered: "Hurry up a sister, hurry up a sister, Han'er can't wait." ”
How do I feel like I'm a dollhead?
It doesn't matter if they go or not, I just need to take care of myself and don't overstep the game. Thinking like this, he took Nai Si with one hand and Xiao Xi'er out with the other.
Our first step is to find the little peach. The position where Little Peach stood was particularly eye-catching, and although there were rows of maids waiting for their master, I could still see Little Peach at a glance.
I beckoned her to come and said, "Go and help me find two long hemp ropes and a sheet." ”
Little Peach looked flustered and said to me, "Miss, don't make trouble." ”
I understood why Little Peach was worried, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just take your younger siblings to play for a while." You brought it to us in a moment, and you sent it to the woods in front of us. ”
Little Peach hesitated for a moment, and told me again and again: "Miss, you must remember, don't cause trouble." ”
Watching the girl turn around and move away, I took the two children down the greenery.
Not far behind me, I followed Prince Xuan and Yan'er, I didn't want to slow down, and the two children were also playful, and the steps were as fast as their feet. I look back from time to time to see the distance between the two of them and us, anyway, I only let Xiao Taozi prepare one, these two are brothers and sisters, whatever you want, the little prince is absolutely unwilling to play something with others, as for Na Yan'er, to these two simple sisters and brothers, is an unpleasant person.
We are getting closer and closer to the woods, and now we have time to study this arbor forest in detail, all of which are the same species of Qi Gao, but I, who have not studied much in nature, do not know what these trees are called.
Suddenly, I remembered that the little prince said that the courtyard of the princess of this palace is planted with medicinal materials, so maybe even this arbor forest belongs to the medicinal herb series, right? If that's the case, then I'll have to refresh my eyes again......
