Chapter 701: Little Demon Star
One one.
Back in the capital, no longer have to serve the emperor, silently return home, husband and wife finally reunite after a long absence, father and son reunite, they want to enjoy a period of family fun, just in time for the scorching summer, Shen Mo made up his mind not to go out, every day at home around the wife and children, but it is not fun"
Early in the morning, before dawn, he got up from his bed and went to the patio to tinker with his flowers and plants.
Over the years, silence has become more and more back to the basics, not only drinking coarse tea, eating light rice, daily wear, in addition to official uniforms, but four sets of single cotton, enough to replace the washing and no longer add. And more and more like to grow vegetables and flowers by himself, "he tied up the melon shed bean stand in the patio with his own hands, between Qingming and Gu Yu, he planted some loofahs or lentils at will, broke through the soil for a few days, and after several waterings, the vines and leaves were married, crawling all over the shelves, covering the patio, blocking the scorching sunlight, making the yard much cooler than outside, not the ceiling is better than the ceiling.
When Shen Mo came back, it was the season of flowers and fruits, and he saw that there were many loofahs, lentils, cucumbers, and gourds full of white fluff hanging on the shelves, which made people feel satisfied when they saw it. The first thing he does when he gets up every morning is to carry the basket to the melon rack for a walk, and then go to the small garden he opened for a turn, and then carry a basket of fresh melons and fruits with dew back to the house and hand them to Rou Niang, which is the main food of the whole family this day.
Thrown off because of the heat of summer, everyone has a bad appetite, the amount of food is reduced, and it is called "sluggish summer" in Beijing dialect. In Futian, the people of the capital do not buy fish and shrimp and aquatic products to eat, the second does not buy more meat to eat, and the third does not buy tofu to eat, because these are easy to deteriorate and are not easy to preserve, even if there are ice holes, fish and meat are not easy to preserve, so for the sake of the health of the whole family, you have to eat as light as possible.
So what to eat? It's these vegetables, cucumbers, eggplants, beans, winter melons, cabbage, and Shen Mo likes to eat them cold. Because there is a good thing in Beijing that I haven't really seen anywhere else in this era, which is sesame paste. This is a baby, cold noodles, cucumbers, noodles, it is indispensable, even in the kitchen to make noodles in the summer, I like to make some sesame paste cakes, steamed sesame paste flower board salt rolls.
After a refreshing and pleasant breakfast, Shen Mo watched Ruohan go to the account room to work, Rou Niang sent the children to school, and when everyone was gone, he went to tinker with his own small garden, catching insects and weeds, loosening the soil and fertilizing, and when the vegetable garden was served, he walked back to the patio and made a pot of tea for himself. Drink is not a famous product, as long as it is a general pre-rain leaf tea, it is good, after the intermittent, sit on the bamboo chair under the scaffolding and drink, it is really "the throat moist, break the loneliness, sweat lightly, life is uneven, all to the pores scattered" only feel the two armpits Xi Xi Li breeze, no need to shake the fan, the heat on the body will subside, just a moment to cool up.
Drinking tea in silence and comfortably, his legs resting on the small table. Flipping through the idle books in your hand at random is not a college mean, nor is it a moral article. It's an idle book, which is called a carefree, leisurely, really like the ancients said, "This place is in the city as in the wilderness, and the individual is neither Buddha nor immortal, ah,"
I don't know how long it took, he put the book on his face and fell asleep, heard the sound of familiar footsteps, silently looked up, the book slipped down, and he didn't care about picking up the book, he smiled at the visitor: "Madam, it's time for lunch?"
The person who came was Ruohan, I saw her wearing a green emerald smoke shirt, wearing a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, water mist and green grass, and it seemed that her shoulders were cut into a waist and her muscles were like a condensed person, she was very good at dressing up, and her jewelry was just a pearl, a jade, a gold and a jade. The color of the clothes is also appropriate, spring clothes should be Qian, summer clothes should be cool, autumn clothes should be elegant, and winter clothes should be gorgeous; It is advisable to wear clothes when you are a guest, it is advisable to wear light clothes when traveling far away, it is advisable to wear plain clothes under flowers, and it is suitable for snow to be dressed, and all kinds of elegant clothes can fill ten rooms.
This couple, in terms of life attitude, can be described as a world of difference, one is willing to pay for a better life, it doesn't matter how much money is spent, the other is unwilling to be bound by food and clothing, just want food, clothing and cleanliness. It is rare that the two do not interfere with each other's preferences, nor do they force each other to be the same as themselves, just like Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, although they are far from each other in life, it is difficult to know that the happiness of music and piano is accompanied by each other.
Seeing that his delicate wife was wearing a refreshing summer dress, which added a bit of refreshment, she stretched out her hand silently and said with a smile: "Whose pretty daughter-in-law is this?" Let me give me a hug. ”
"Hate" Ruohan smiled, but did not sit in his arms according to the words, after all, it was broad daylight, she didn't dare to lose the dignity of the housemother, sat on the bamboo chair next to the silence, and said with a slightly tired face: "After a busy morning, my brain hurts, come to the back to breathe."
"I had a headache, so I bounced up from my chair and walked to the corner of the patio, where I planted some green herbs such as meat, mint, and cloves, which were used to clean the air and repel mosquitoes. Shen Mo picked up a few plump mint leaves, took them and washed them with water, and then pasted them on the sun ** on both sides of Ruohan. Ruohan closed his eyes and left him at his disposal. I felt a burst of coolness penetrating my body, and my mind and eyes felt a burst of clarity. I listened to a silent smile and a mint is a good thing, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" Bu said. Scratch the heat, heat the heat, sweat, clear eyes and clear mind. It's a rare coolness in summer
Ruohan nodded slowly, snorted nasally and did not speak, quietly enjoying this rare peace, until the sound of footsteps sounded, she opened her eyes, only to see two maids come up with a drink to cool off, sweet bowls and mung bean soup. The former is Ruohan's favorite summer snack, but the cook learned from the palace master to "cut the newly picked fruit root buds into thin slices, use the plate inside the melon, remove the seeds and match the fruit lotus root, and then smash the green walnuts, record the astringent layer of tender skin inside, spread it on it, pour grape juice, and eat it chilled.
Shen Mo thought it was too sweet, he still liked to drink ordinary mung bean soup, which was to boil mung beans in a casserole and put them in the shade to cool them for a few hours. It's his best drink to beat the heat. The husband and wife each took what they needed, ate silently with their own small bowls, silently finished the mung bean soup in the bowl, looked at Tianguang and said: "It's time for the children to get out of school, the light has been playing with me for the past two days, and I don't know if I can still sit still."
It doesn't matter if he doesn't mention this stubble, as soon as he mentions Ruohan, he will have a lawsuit, no matter how sweet the food is, it will not taste good, so he put down the bowl and said: "You still want to ask." ”
Shen Mo also put down the bowl and said with a smile: "I'm a pro-son, can you not ask."
"It's a kiss!" Ruohan exhaled angrily: "It's all your fault, what do you say about quality education, and teach two little devils who don't know the height of the sky and don't dare to do it!" ”
"Didn't you please sir?" Shen Mo originally wanted to teach his son by himself, but he had no choice but to follow Hu Nantour. I didn't go home for half a year, so I had to invite a respected teacher to give Aji and a very enlightened teacher, speaking of which, it has been half a year since I apprenticed" Shen Mo secretly said: "What, Mr. Hu is not good at teaching?."
"What about Mr. Hu" Ruohan was so angry that he really wanted to pinch him, and pouted: "Mr. Hu has already left with a cover, and now it is Mr. Wei."
"Why did you change the teacher?" Shen Mo was surprised: "It's only been more than half a year to change, it's not good."
"Who can last half a year" Ruohan clasped his hands together and said: "I really want to burn high incense I said and pinched my fingers and gave him a count: "The first Mr. Hu, and the recent Mr. Wei, there are Mr. Zhou, Mr. Ding, and two Mr. Liu, a total of six gentlemen in half a year, the long one can last two months, and the short one is only half a month, and he bowed his head depressedly and said: "It's only been a few days, and the private plastic industry in the capital knows that the two sons of Mr. Shen's family can't teach." What do you say you can do in the future, just like the mother who is worried about her son all over the world, Ruohan's face was full of sorrow, and he didn't take it easy, and said silently: "Your" quality education, what's going on? How can you teach children to the point that they have no quality?
Silently and quietly listened to Ruohan pouring bitter water, always smiling, making Ruohan feel like hitting cotton, talking and saying that he was bored, and said: "It's your fault that you can't raise it or not, it's your father's fault."
"Madame, don't worry, it's not that serious." Shen Mo smiled and patted her on the back and said, "Child." Seven or eight-year-old dogs are also suspicious, isn't that the time to make trouble, the skin is good, and they will not be bullied in the future
"Then you can't keep the gentleman angry, right?" Ruohan said depressedly: "Is there any respect for the teacher?" As he spoke, he pulled his silent sleeve and said, "I don't care, you have to take care of this." Otherwise, there will be no line of gentlemen in the future. I'll see who you're looking to cry to
"Okay, okay, I'll take care of it," Shen Mo surrendered and smiled, "But you have to tell me, how can they be six or seven year old little boys, how can they make Mr. angry and run away?" ”
"Taobei, all the flowers are out!" Ruohan said: "Mr. asked them to sit obediently and obey, and they ran around, annoying Mr. and hitting the board a few times, but they held a grudge, so they thought of a way to retaliate against Mr." said angrily and funny: "I caught a toad and a hedgehog and stuffed it into Mr.'s bed; Pour salt into the gentleman's meal, and pack and bag of it in; took advantage of Mr. to take a nap and set off the explosion, and scared Mr. Wow Wow, and people can't see it like a child, and they can't afford to hide if they can't be provoked? Of course, I was too busy to leave
"Hey, these stinky boys, can they really do it, and he touched his chin silently and said, "It's really like his father." "In my last life in the orphanage, silence was the most difficult one, the child's head, the troublemaker, the black sheep and mouse, these glorious titles followed him for nine years, and it was better after high school.
"What, you were like that when you were a kid?" Ruohan's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Father-in-law can say that you were the most well-behaved when you were a child, you can do whatever you want, you are very polite to everyone, and you don't even dare to say it out loud,"
"My dad is," Shen Mo scratched his head and said, "Scratch the meat on my face." "Shen He is just his father in this life, of course he doesn't know about his previous life.
"Whatever". Ruohan pinched his waist and said, "I can't let my son become such a little rascal, what do you care?!" This should be the first time Ruohan has revealed his fierce appearance, and he smiled silently and bitterly: "Chengcheng, I care, it's not okay." So saying, he got up and fled to the door of the weeping flowers.
But he almost collided with Rou Niang, silently held her shoulder, and said: "
"Master, go and take a look" Rou Niang said, but her eyes looked at Ruohan and said: "Mr. Wei packed up his things and is leaving" In order not to make this gentleman angry, Ruohan deliberately let Rou Niang stare there, but she was born for a month, who knew that today, she still watched the two young masters get into trouble again. "Yes, the sixth place Shen Mo let go of his hand, he Jiang Zhi was curious to death, how can these two little rabbit cubs be so capable, they are simply "familiar killers." Finish.
Ruo Han stood up and said: "In charge, if you don't leave Mr. today, no one really wants to teach our son, and you don't care about the two baby sons, it's really going to make a fuss."
"Okay, let's go check it out first." Shen silently motioned to Ruohan Ranxing and asked Rou Niang, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Rou Niang said in a low voice: "Alas, I also complain about the slave family, and when I took Pingbei back to sleep, something big happened!" ”
"What's the matter?" The two asked in unison.
"Snuffbox," Rou Niang said weakly.
"Snuffbox?"
It turned out that Ruohan wanted to please Mr. Let him bear with him, don't say goodbye easily, and often give some rare small gifts to Mr. Wei, including the snuff bottle that has just become popular in Beijing, "That thing was produced in Luzon, and with the entry of the switch trade into the Ming Dynasty, it was originally called "Sinahu Buluhuilu" according to the name of the Spaniards. Or the wax and so on, or silently after seeing it, smiled, and then named it "snuff bottle." Target.
In fact, it is to use tobacco leaves with good aroma, dry them and add necessary precious medicinal materials, grind them into powder, put them in sealed containers, and age them for a certain period of time. It can be made into snuff.
No need to ignite, just stick the cigarette powder with your fingers, gently inhale it from the nostrils, you can refresh your mind, open the plug and clear your eyes, and you will feel particularly cool.
However, if you are a familiar teacher to Ruohan's son, the treatment is naturally super good, not to mention, even this rare thing is indispensable.
Mr. Wei loves this snuff very much, and he always carries it with him, and he also places it in a conspicuous place in class, and he has to smoke it from time to time, one is for coolness, and the other is to feel more stylish.
Aji and the others looked at Mr. and thought it was funny, so they took advantage of Mr. Gong's effort, quietly ran to the table, stretched out his little finger on the foot, dipped a little snuff in the cigarette saucer, and followed the example of Mr., and inhaled deeply on his nostrils. Under the gaze of the children of the guards and the housekeepers who were studying with them, their eyes suddenly widened, their mouths opened wide, and they could not help sneezing, which did not matter, and at once the snuff that Mr. had poured on the cigarette saucer was a cloud of yellow mist.
When the yellow mist cleared, there was nothing left in the cigarette saucer.
Aji was dumbfounded, and then clapped his hands below and said, "Brother, if you want to eat fried meat with a stick, maybe you will have two meals." The other children also laughed: "Yes, your mother must have beaten you fatly."
Aji was so frightened that his face turned yellow, and he didn't wipe his nose, so he pulled his collar and said, "It's not that you puffed me up, but don't think about just looking at me." ”
He said, "I thought of a good way to make sure you're okay."
"Speak quickly!" Aji said overjoyed.
Ten fell into his ear and muttered. Aji was overjoyed when he heard this, so he ran out of the school and went to the cafeteria next door. At this time, it was not yet a meal, and the master in the kitchen had not yet delivered the meal, and the cafeteria was empty. But the kid's goal was very clear, he ran straight to the table where Mr. was eating, knelt on the stool, opened the bottles and cans, and looked for them in the same way, but said that this Mr. Wei was indeed a little sour, and when he ate, he was either salty, or light, or tasteless, so the cook simply placed seven or eight condiments such as salt, vinegar, sauce, and Hu Lao noodles on his table, and asked him to add them according to his personal taste.
Aggie searched and searched, and really let him find it, stuffed a small jar into his arms, ran back to the school with a cigarette, came to the gentleman's desk, opened the jar and poured it into the plate, it was really like that.
The children gathered around, and Tiezhu's son, Tie Zhi, asked, "What is this?" ”
"Sniff!" Aggie looked at him and said.
Tie Dan dipped his finger in some and put it in his mouth, his face turned white, his snot came down, and he said with a crying voice: "What kind of thing are you?"
At this time, the sentry at the door said: "Mr. is here!" The children hurried back to their seats.
The children sat down, Mr. Wei entered the house, sat back on the chair, looked down, felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and asked, "Shen Zhiqing, Shen Shiqing, what the hell are you two doing?" ”
Today, I went to officially report the loss, and I deeply felt that the four major state-owned banks, and China Merchants Bank, CITIC and other commercial services, are not half a star in terms of service. can make those state-owned enterprise employees angry to death")
