Chapter 31: Surprised? I want to raise an extra brother
When Shen Fuzhi and Yao Huan returned to their alley, they had already made friends, and the last sunset in the sky had disappeared in the dark sky.
The moonlight was shining.
Shen Fuzhi looked at his niece's face, which was reflected in the moonlight, but he couldn't hide his exhaustion, and said distressedly: "I wronged you today, and I suffered a big loss in Zeng's mansion." ”
"I also had a big meal," Yao Huan cheered up and comforted his aunt, "Then when Mrs. Wei speaks, she always has to mix three or four points of leave, and the dishes she buys are very delicious." Auntie, can we also learn? ”
Shen Fuzhi pouted: "Ouch, Huan'er, on writing a sour word, the lady who is literate in Kaifeng pulls it out, and it can't compare to Mrs. Wei." But when it comes to cooking, Mrs. Wei's two brushes, don't you have your aunt and me? ”
She muttered lightly: "It's just that our foot shop is doing the business of rough men, you spend half a day making shrimp and fish puree, and you also work hard to stuff it into the lotus pod and steam, you can't get it if you don't sell it for thirty or fifty yuan, right?" But how can the boatmen who eat pigs in the water buy your account, and the cow chews peonies and thinks you are doing too much, and directly stew the fish and shrimp in a big pot with soybean sauce, isn't it fragrant and full? ”
Yao Huan nodded: "The business of the restaurant is like this." But that day, I made chicken soup and served Shao Langzhong, Shao Langzhong said that it would be more elegant and refreshing to make it with Shanjia three crisps, so I thought, if I go to ask for the family property left to me by my grandfather, and help my aunt to rent a good market store, specializing in fine dishes that attract literati and elegant people, it will be a pity that my aunt's real skills in cooking. ”
Shen Fuzhi yawned and patted the back of Yao Huan's hand: "You have big ambitions, you go to ask for family property, these two things, my aunt thinks it's very good, but I'm really tired today, let's not talk about it?" Go back to the house to eat a bowl of snacks, wash and sleep. ”
Yao Huan smiled, said "Okay", and rushed in front of her aunt to push open the red door of the small courtyard.
Shen Fuzhi rubbed his temples, as if he was so tired that he had lost his breath, and called out in a low voice: "Meituan, go make two bowls of cat ears, don't forget to put ham, and ......"
Halfway through Chef Shen's order, he looked up and saw the people sitting in the main hall, and suddenly became silent.
Yao Huan also stared at the two visitors, an old man and a young man, in surprise - isn't this old man, isn't it Steward Yang who sent off his relatives that day?
Before they could react, the five or six-year-old boy had jumped off the stool, ran to Yao Huan with his little legs, and threw himself into her arms: "Sister, sister, mother (the Song Dynasty has called mother mother) her, she doesn't want me." ”
The little guy just wanted to howl a few times, but suddenly looked up and saw Shen Fuzhi staring at him, and was timidly silenced, holding Yao Huan's skirt tightly with only two little fat hands.
Yao Huan felt that he had become an emoji for a moment, and there was a black line in his head.
What do you mean your mother doesn't want you anymore?
Isn't it, my rumored vicious stepmother, left you and ran away? I'm not her own, aren't you?
Yao Huan was at a loss for a while, so he let the doll grab him, unable to speak, and did not dare to move.
Steward Yang hurriedly walked out of the hall, saluted Shen Fuzhi, and said with a bitter face: "Her aunt, something is wrong, the owner of the family, she and the tooth man from Qinzhou got along, and they joined forces to secretly sell the house left by Ah Lang, and ran away. I am too, and it is also the buyer who came down from the sky today to drive out of the door to know the reason for this file. After all, Sister Huan and this doll are the same grandfather, and I really have no other way to go, so I can only send this doll here. ”
What?
In just a few sentences, the amount of information is also huge!
Yao Huan became more and more confused, and only knew how to look at Shen Fuzhi.
In Shen Fuzhi's eyes, she was about to burst into flames, but maybe she was really affected today, she has always been explosive in combat, and she can't even raise the strength to burst into foul language at this moment.
She waved her sleeves: "Stand in the courtyard and do something, come into the house." ”
Steward Yang's old eyes flashed, as if a lost pedestrian suddenly saw the lights of the village house in the forest.
He said "hey" and came over to lead the doll.
"Brother, come here, don't pester your sister."
The doll was clever, estimating that this strange courtyard didn't drive herself out, and when she saw her sister Yao Huan again, the villain got a sense of security, and knew more about being obedient, so she obediently walked to Steward Yang and said, "Yang Weng, I'm so hungry." ”
When Shen Fuyi heard this pitiful milk voice, his heart softened: "Evil, that wicked woman's heart, but flesh is long?" It's just a matter of poisoning Sister Huan'er, this own flesh and blood, just give it up. As the old saying goes, I'd rather beg for food than be an official's father, and today I know that as the old saying goes, there is a time when it is worse than a squib. ”
Meituan, who was standing under the corridor, heard this and hurriedly said, "Erniang, I'll go and serve food." ”
Shen Fuzhi said angrily: "Why don't you go?" Adults have a holiday, what do they have to do with children? ”
Steward Yang hurriedly played a round: "We have just arrived." ”
Yang Guanjia took the tone of the female master of this house and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yao Huan became nervous.
I am the daughter of the fake Yao family, I sit down and chatter, I will wear a lot of words, I will be a stuffy gourd, and I will do everything according to my aunt's arrangement.
She peeked at the little boy again, and her eyebrows and eyes really had a lot of similarities with herself.
When Steward Yang made a statement, she had already made it clear in her tone that she and this little baby were half-siblings. He was eighteen years old, his younger brother was five or six years old, and Yao Huan learned from sporadic conversations with Meituan that the Yao family only moved to Kaifeng in the year of his own life, that is to say, the original owner of his body, the biological mother of the Yao girl, died at the latest when her daughter was eleven or twelve years old, and her father continued to give birth to the boy in front of him, and then took the whole family to Kaifeng City.
Oh, no wonder Steward Yang said that his stepmother ran away with the tooth man in Qinzhou, fellow townsman.
Tooth man, in the Song Dynasty, is the meaning of intermediary. For larger transactions, buying goods, buying houses and buying land, all of them must be officially recognized by the participation of tooth people. Yao Huan guessed that she was still a maid now, and she had a share of the Yao family's property, but the house was sold like this, it must be the strength of her stepmother's good people, maybe the next family will also collude to get cheap.
Yao Huan roughly sorted it out, but it was useless. She has been thinking about going to Yao's house to divide the family property these days, but when she faced Miss Yao's closest relatives, there was a lot of trouble in the details.
She didn't even know the name of her "brother".
Yao Huan held back his strength to search his mind, looking forward to whether Miss Yao in the dark could leave some clues for himself in this regard, but he didn't gain much.
Alas, from this point of view, this Yao girl really only cherishes her lover who died in Hongdecheng, and takes the great pain of eternal separation as the only information, and gives it to Yao Huan, who suddenly crossed over half a month ago.
Fortunately, Meituan's hands and feet are really fast, and four large bowls have been served in a moment.
"Erniang, you ordered to make cat ears this morning, but fortunately I rubbed some more, enough to eat."
Before she finished speaking, the little brother of the Yao family had already come over to pick up the bowl.
Yang Guanjia helped him serve it, and explained to Shen Fuzhi and Yao Huan embarrassedly: "Brother is not so anxious and unruly on weekdays, but this time he is really hungry." ”
Shen Fu said: "Hurry up and eat as much as the child can, if you don't have enough food, there is no gold and silver in this house, and it is just a piece of cake to conjure up a table to eat in a moment." Yang Weng, you eat too, you're welcome. ”
My aunt was too worried, because in front of the dim sum brought by Meituan, no one wanted to be polite at all - it was so fragrant.
But in the glazed celadon bowl, there are full of snow-white, pinched miniature gnocchi like kitten ears, mixed with diced ham, bamboo shoots and seasonal tender peas, and even a few river shrimp with shell tails removed, white, red, yellow, and green, just looking at the color surface is very pleasing to the eye.
