Section 6: The poignant Hong Guo'er
Bitter bamboo shoots soaked in the cool well water overnight, blanched with boiling water in the early morning and mixed with red oil, patted a few cloves of garlic, crushed the peppercorns over the oil, with a small handful of fragrant coriander, put on it, pour hot vinegar water on it, sprinkle a little fine salt casually, it is the supreme deliciousness. A big bowl of golden millet porridge, and a green onion cake, the days of the gods are just like this.
Today is a leisurely day, the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when Li Chengqian and Li Tailei can't help but say goodbye to their father and mother, and Yun Ye has a rare day of leisure.
I just had breakfast, accompanied my grandmother to gossip, and talked with my aunt and aunt about the marriage of the eldest girl for a while, and I was ready to take Xin Yue to the Dongyang River boating, Xiaoqiu couldn't go, and now it is not convenient to have a huge belly, and I married a young steward in the family last year.
Xin Yue didn't know what to think, Xiaoqiu got married, and she was still the big girl by her side, which was rare in the rich and noble, Xiaoqiu's husband was also a capable person praised by everyone in the Yun family's Zhuangzi, and the accumulated family business was enough for Xiaoqiu to call more than a dozen maids, but Xiaoqiu just didn't do it, although she didn't live in the Yun family, she would inevitably appear at the door of Xin Yue's room at dawn every day, waiting for Mrs. to call.
Yun Ye can't say it, as long as he talks about changing the maid, Xiaoqiu will cry loudly, Xin Yue will also say that her husband has no heart, Xiaoqiu has served her husband and wife for so many years, how can there be any reason to say that she will change it.
In fact, this is very inconvenient, everyone is married, some things are inconvenient, and sometimes it will attract rumors, Yun Ye told his worries to the housekeeper Lao Qian, and wanted him to think of a good way.
Who knew that Lao Qian's old face turned red, and he said angrily: "Master Hou, which bastard thing is chewing his tongue next to your ear, Xiaoqiu is married, but in our family, he is serving Lord Hou and his wife, our family is a clean and good family, over the years, there have been dirty things in those wealthy households." A maid is a worker. Earn your own wages, enter the door innocently, go out innocently, don't you know, it is difficult for the maids from other people's families to marry a good family, and our maids are rushed to ask for by the good people on the Zhuangzi when they go out.
Our family is a room full of good people, and Hou Ye's invincible reputation is outside. Mrs. is also famous in Chang'an, and the ancestor of our family is a person who has been praised by Yan Zuzong in person, and the aunts and grandmothers of the family, the little ladies are also kind people, although several little ladies like to play tricks on people, this is also the child's nature. I have grown up in the past two years, so there is no such thing, Master Hou, you don't have to worry about these things at home, the old slave's eyes are bright, and the insulting things will definitely be eliminated. â
That's good, the home is a place to rest when you're tired, if it's smoky. It's noisy. will annoy people to death, and carry a big bamboo basket by yourself. There was a basket of food inside, and on Yun Baobao's back with Wangcai, Xin Yue dressed up enchantingly twisted her waist and followed out.
The weasel prepared a raft early, there was a small wooden boat, Yun Ye didn't like it, and it was not as stable as a wide raft. The weasel grinned and boasted about how strong the raft he made, and as soon as the words fell, Wangcai jumped up, and other horses were not willing to get on the boat, only Wangcai liked it, and the raft suddenly pressed the other end high, and the squirrel hurriedly jumped on the other end and finally saved his face.
Yun Baobao, who was riding on Wangcai's back, danced happily, and seemed to like the little accident just now, Yun Ye helped Xin Yue onto the raft, jumped on it himself, and pushed Wangcai to the middle, Yun Baobao was also held in Xin Yue's arms, although he was not satisfied with the wow wow scream, no one paid attention to it, watching Wangcai habitually lie down, Yun Ye came to the bottom of the tent, sat on the deck chair, and was ready to spend the whole day.
There are a lot of koi fish in the river of Dongyang River now, and it is not just that the good man poured a lot of small fry into the river, and fed them every day, so that these red fish do not go anywhere in this section of the river, even if they are fished away by others, they do not leave, just now, as long as you look into the river, you can see groups of one-foot-long red koi swimming around unscrupulously.
The summer day in Guanzhong is completely scorching, the sun rises soon, the hot and humid air waves will soon wrap around everyone, now the students of the academy are on vacation, only some students who have traveled far away have not gone back, they are shirtless one by one, begging for a living on the Dongyang River, regardless of whether the family is rich or not, they are poor in the academy, the meal during the holiday will not be taken care of by the academy, you have to earn it yourself, no one wants to withdraw the money on the account of the zĂ i academy deposited by parents, That will suffer from the account office and the contempt of the gentlemen, even among the classmates, no one will envy them, people use their earned money to eat steamed buns and eat pickles, and no one will envy them with their own money.
If it is the beginning of school, you have a good dish, there will always be a group of shameless people around you, to help you taste the dish is cooked or not, lest you eat bad stomach, but after the person leaves, your good dish can be left at the bottom of the basin even if they are merciful, but after the holiday, you eat good food, if you earn money to buy, you will still enjoy the former treatment, if it is your parents' money, everyone will immediately stay away from you, even if your dish is delicious, they would rather gnaw pickles, will not touch it, They take it for granted to eat your blood and sweat, and they don't want to eat your parents' blood and sweat.
So when you see those barefoot and trouser legs rolling up the raft hard, don't have the slightest contempt, maybe there is the son of the assassin family, or the young master of the other driving family, for the money earned by their own efforts, no one in the academy will have half a point of contempt, and in this way, when it comes to graduation, the evaluation language will be much better.
The boat of the Hongcheng family was behind Yun Ye's raft, and when he saw a chubby girl wearing sequoia seeds tiptoeing to jump on the raft of the Yun family, Yun Ye's teeth were sore, and he told Xin Yue to sit down, and then look at Wangcai sleeping with his head drooping, his eyes closed, and he couldn't bear to look at what was going to happen.
The raft bounced violently on the water, and Wangcai was so frightened that he fell asleep, and Yun Ye calmed it down for a while before it quieted down.
"Uncle Yun, do you know where the dog went? I went to his house, and my aunt said that he went to Luoyang and would come back in a few days, why is there no one now? â
"Girl, next time I have to come over and wait for the raft to come up again, so unstable, it's not good for the big girl's family to fall into the river, you say dog, he is helping Kitty Hawk prepare a new house, you know, Kitty and Big Girl's marriage is this year, they are very busy."
"Uncle Yun, did you say that Gouzi and I will also get married this year." Hearing Hong Guo'er's words, Xin Yue covered her mouth and laughed, and Yun Ye was dumbfounded by a question.
"Guo'er, are you sure the dog will marry you? I don't think he's very willing. After coughing for a long time, Yun Ye finally asked a word, the daughter of the Hongcheng family was really bold.
Hong Guo'er twisted her body embarrassedly, squatted in front of Xin Yue to tease Yun Baobao, and said that sentence, which was already her limit, and now she just pricked up her ears to hear Yun Ye's opinion on this matter.
"What a good girl we are, the little bastard of the dog is still picky, there is such a good girl who takes a fancy to him, he should marry him and hide it quickly, how can there be such a bad person."
Yun Ye sighed, looking at Hong Guo'er's thick waist, Xin Yue was obviously talking nonsense, the dog was a famous beautiful man in the Yun family Zhuangzi, it was said that the ranking was only below the satisfaction, for the satisfaction, the girls naturally died early, but for a sunny boy like the dog, they were all unwilling to let go, Hong Guo'er was just the most fierce one.
"Guo'er, you need to discuss this matter with the dog, you are from a rich family, and you are a concubine, your identity is not up to you, you say to Uncle Yun like this, it doesn't matter, spread it outside, your father's face is gone." In fact, if you look at the river, there are many good children who hope to marry your family, and students who can put down their bodies to make money, I can guarantee that they will have a bright future in the future, and there is no need to find a dog and make themselves uncomfortable. â
Unable to get help from Yun Ye, Hong Guo'er lowered her head gloomily, said goodbye to Yun Ye and his family, grabbed the side of his ship, climbed up with difficulty, and suddenly cried loudly while crawling, choked and turned his head to Yun Ye and said: "Uncle Yun, you help me pass a message to the dog, if he doesn't come back at the end of the month, I will marry the fool of the Hou family in Xiangcheng." â
Seeing Hong Guo'er's chubby body arching towards the boat like maggots, Xin Yue, who had red eyes, said angrily to Yun Ye: "When you go back, write a letter and bring that little bastard back, if you ruin someone's innocence, you want to run away?" If it weren't for the dog who saw Guo'er taking a bath, why would she marry the fool of the Hou family in Xiangcheng, whether the dog wants to or not, he will marry Guo'er, if not, you see how I clean him up. â
"Your temper is unreasonable, it's not that I look at Guo'er's body, I want to write a letter, you go and write, I don't write this kind of unlucky letter, Guo'er is too willful, this time I have suffered a big loss, and it's good to have a long memory."
"How can you remember this kind of thing for a long time, do you think there is room for regret after marrying? The Marquis of Xiangcheng still owes our family a lot of silver, if he dares to marry Guo'er, I will let his whole family drink the northwest wind. â
Yun Ye shook his head, once this woman goes crazy, there is no reason to talk about it, Xin Yue is now also the eldest sister among the women in Chang'an, and if she roars, the Xiangcheng Hou family's family will definitely be unlucky, not to mention He Shao, a loyal dog leg to help him, saying that if the Xiangcheng Hou family drinks the northwest wind, his family will not be able to drink gruel. (To be continued.) )
