Chapter 146: Rabbits
The other half of the car was some millet, dried vegetables and fish, and a large tightly wrapped bag, and a boxy bamboo cage covered with gray cloth.
Fang Er said: "The owner of the village specially explained, the side is all ordinary things, but these two things are the heart of the young lady-" said as he untied the big bag, and there were two delicious and fat wild sheep inside.
"The mountains are spacious, the wild things have been running for more than half a year, it is the time when the meat is the freshest, our owner went into the mountains to hunt before, hunted a few, picked the best to send to the lady, stewed soup barbecue, shabu shabu are very beautiful."
The people from the state have always been the most thoughtful, the mutton is warm, and it is the most suitable to eat in winter, Yin Huai'an's mind is just right, and the steward Fang speaks crisply, and listens to it with a high throat and a wide voice.
Shen Yuan was moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's hard for your master to remember, and he still went into the mountain on such a cold day." Please go back and thank him for me. After saying that, he greeted the maid and the maid, and the good student unloaded the car and put it into the cellar.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Fang Er's steward nodded again and again. This is a typical dark mountain man, but he is not thin, and his face is full of wrinkles when he laughs. He pointed to the gray cloth cage again, and his happy expression was quite similar to his father's old square head: "And this, Miss, please take a closer look." ”
Fang Er's steward pulled his hand, and there were a few flutters in the cage, and it turned out to be a pair of gray-brown fur and palm-sized little hares. The air outside was cold, the gray cloth was tight, and the little rabbit was suddenly uncovered, shook its ears, and retracted into the haystack with a few flutters, and looked out with wary eyes.
How much the girl's family likes these small animals, the little pavilion owner was surprised "ah", a few maids were also attracted over, Fang Er steward took the cage like a treasure, and said: "The boys are naughty, go up the mountain and dig a rabbit hole, the old rabbit doesn't know where it went, the little cub survived two, the owner said, just give it to the young lady together, raise it to relieve boredom." ”
Shen Yuan summoned Scarlet Cloud to take over the cage, and played with joy for a while, the little rabbit was about the full moon, and the fur was shiny and slippery. Fang Er's steward said that the old rabbit was probably the first time to get a cub, and he chose it in the cold winter wax moon like a fool, and when the boys on the village took it out, most of the five or six little rabbits had frozen to death.
"When I brought it back, the owner looked strange and pitiful, so I let it stay, and I sent it when I was able to raise my spirit."
Fang Er's speculation was reasonable, Shen Yuan nodded, looking at the two little hares' eyes were shining, they shrank together, and they didn't dare to move, probably because they were scared by the bumps on the road. She waved her hand and told the maid to take it down first: "It's too cold outside, put it in the house and raise it." ”
The sky was clear, and although the air was cold, the sun was really clean and clear, almost as clear as the moonlight. As soon as the small courtyard was decorated with millet and millet rice, there was immediately more fireworks and fireworks, like the leisurely and comfortable realm seen in the poems.
Shen Yuan looked up at the sapphire-like sky, his heart was also warm, and he rarely evacuated his state of mind, and politely said to Fang Er's steward: "The second master of labor Fang should have left you a cup of tea, but in such a place, I am afraid that if I leave you, I will ask your master to pick your eyes when I go back." ”
"Miss is polite, it is natural for us to do things for the master's family, where do we dare to ask for credit." Fang Er's steward called a thousand children again, and beckoned the servants to gather three or five to get back to the car, "Dad has a advice, Zhuang is busy, be sure to go back early, catch up on the way, just enough for lunch, don't bother Miss." ”
The two have their own just right words, Shen Yuan ordered Scarlet Moon Haosheng to send one, and then went to the house to take a look, the charcoal fire was warm, and the two little rabbits were already asleep. This year, she didn't come down for the winter, and the house in the back garden was usually uninhabited, so she sent the little maid and sent the rabbit to the Qin Pavilion for the time being.
Crimson Moon and Scarlet Cloud sat in the room in the back garden for a while. Scarlet Moon picked up the fire chopsticks and pulled the charcoal ash in the stove: "The girl likes that rabbit, why don't you bring it back to the front?" The tortoiseshell is naughty, but in the winter it also begins to snooze, and it is a lot more honest, and the slaves and maids will not pounce on the rabbit if they pay attention to it. ”
"I don't like it, I like it from the bottom of my heart," Shen Yuan guarded the charcoal basin in his hand, and it was rare that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were sincerely soft, "The upstairs in front is warm, and the people are noisy, and if you can raise a tortoiseshell, it is clever and will not be bullied by outsiders." ”
She glanced out the window, took the re-lit hand stove, and continued: "That little rabbit is stupid, such a delicate group, raised in front, there are many people, but it is not good, I like it again, and I should be thoughtful for them first." Besides, when the rabbit is big, it is inevitable that it will be lively, and the lady works hard every day, so she has to make a lot of noise. ”
Scarlet nodded thoughtfully: "Also, when the weather is cold, the girl has to recuperate, and she has no energy to play with cats and rabbits." Miss Sheng has to go to the Qin Pavilion every day and ask her to take care of it. When spring blooms and the rabbit grows up, the girl comes to play again. ”
Scarlet Moon picked up a handful of water in the copper basin at the window, washed the ashes on her hands, and took out a handkerchief from her waist to wipe it off: "What the girl said is obviously a rabbit, and the slave and maid listen like a metaphor." Sure enough, people still have to drink more ink to speak without being vulgar. ”
Scarlet Cloud didn't understand very well, but saw that the master smiled and didn't say anything, and waited for Scarlet Moon to come back and sit by the charcoal basin, before he suddenly stretched out his plain white fingers and softly twisted her face: "What a sister with a great mouth, I have to promise you someone in the future, give birth to a little brother, and urge him to drink ink." ”
The three masters and servants laughed together, Scarlet Moon covered her face tightly, her cheeks were red, and she even said that the girl was not ashamed, and the daughter's house who had not left the pavilion said what to give birth to. Scarlet Cloud smiled and covered her stomach, her eyebrows and eyes curved into a pair of crescents, and she was a "good girl" and "good sister", and it was easy to pull the two apart.
"Gotcha, gotcha...... Stop making a fuss. After a while, Shen Yuan felt that his strength was weak, so he held the maid's hand left and right, slowly sat back on the couch, and drank a cup of hot tea to moisten his throat.
The room was not only paved with a floor dragon, but also a kang bed in the north, which was also hot, so she simply ordered the kang table to be placed, and asked Scarlet Moon to go to the kitchen to spread the word, and lunch was sent here directly.
Shen Yuan likes to see the lively scenery, but he loves the clean place to live even more. She likes this small courtyard, all because when it was cold at the beginning of this year, there were a lot of sudden things, and she didn't bother to move it anymore, so she was about to settle in front.
Later, the firewood house was noisy, and the warbler refused to stop, and no one could stand it. Shen Yuan was bent on seeking quiet, and his ears were so good that he didn't live here.
It was also a strange year, a little colder than previous years. Shen Yuan led the maid to eat on the kang, and felt extra warm. Yes, she estimated the climate, and wanted to wait and see for a while, but she really didn't succeed and waited for the warbler to be sent away, and then it was better to move over for the winter.
