26. The grace of saving lives
That night, Su Luan packed up the small baggage with only two or three changes of clothes and went to Mr. Qin's small courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he didn't say a word, but first made a big gift: "Mr. and Mrs. Luan'er Xie are saving their lives!" ”
Meng Shi quickly pulled her up, and said angrily: "You girl, don't say that you are here with Zhao Siye's jade pendant, it is a meeting in Pingshui, and when you encounter this matter, why not help you." ”
"Madam, Luan'er is not unreasonable. You help me with affection, not to help is duty, since you have given me affection, it is appropriate to say thank you. Su Luan said a serious look, his expression didn't look like a seven or eight-year-old child at all, but like a sensible lady.
Meng Shi rubbed her head and laughed: "Okay, I accept your gratitude." Come and see the room I have for you! As he spoke, he took the weightless little burden in her hand and led her into the west side room in the courtyard.
The room is not large, but it can be arranged very carefully, the carved wooden bed is wrapped in a pale pink veil, and there is a nanmu strip case on the side, on which are placed pen, ink, paper, inkstone and a few miscellaneous books. There are also two unnamed bonsai on the windowsill.
Where is the little maid's house, it is clearly the lady's boudoir.
Su Luan's eyes flashed slightly, his nose was a little sour, and he muttered, "Madame......"
"Don't be too impressed! I just haven't raised a daughter, and I want to taste what it's like to raise a daughter, but it's the same job! Meng Shi said to her unceremoniously.
But such a familiar tone made her feel a lot more relaxed.
Her eyes crooked and she promised: "Well, Luan'er is definitely not lazy!" ”
After dinner, Su Luan lay alone on the soft bed, feeling that his day was like a dream. not only successfully got out of the old witch's hands, but also met such a good life-saving benefactor as Meng's.
Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Grandpa Zhaosi, she has to take a spare time to go to the mountain to thank him.
For so many days, it is rare to get a solid night's sleep. When Su Luan woke up, the genius was bright. She quietly dressed and fumbled her way to the kitchen.
From the cabinet came millet, flour, and a couple of potatoes and a large pumpkin. As soon as Su Luan saw this, his eyes lit up. You know, she has been in this village for so long, and she has hardly seen fine grain.
She first lit the fire, took a clay pot, and skillfully washed rice and added water to cook porridge. He peeled and cut the potatoes and pumpkin with a kitchen knife, and put them on a pot of boiling water to steam.
When the potatoes and pumpkin were steamed and soft, salt and sugar were added, and they were mixed into the flour and formed a batter. She stepped on a small stool, scooped the big pot of water, smeared it with oil, and skillfully pasted the batter into round cakes.
When all this was done, she found that Meng Shi was standing at the door of the kitchen at some point, looking at her with an inquiring face.
Su Luan's heart was a little hairy when he was seen, and he asked weakly: "Madam, what are you doing with me like this?" ”
Meng Shi didn't hide it, and said: "I just can't believe that a seven or eight-year-old country girl would use this fine grain for food. ”
Su Luan's heart trembled, it's broken! Sure enough, as soon as this person relaxes, he is prone to accidents! How could she ignore something so important!
She laughed dryly twice, trying to cover it up, but her mind turned a thousand times, but she couldn't find a proper excuse.
