The sisters and sisters of the Su family, except for Su Rui who had seen it in modern times, had never seen it, Su Qiao looked at the delicate dim sum and fantasized about what the real lotus flower looked like.

Thinking so, he asked, "Is it true that lotus flowers are as beautiful as chestnut lotus cakes?" ”

Mother Liu nodded, "Yes, most of the official women in Yuncheng like lotus, and they think that it is "muddy but not stained, and clear ripples but not demons". ”

Su Qiao didn't understand what this meant, and looked at Su Rui suspiciously.

Su Rui was about to explain, when Meng Mingzhou walked in slowly.

"Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons" on the surface means that the lotus flower comes from the mud and is not contaminated with filth, and after being washed by clean water, it appears pure but not bewitching.

Su Qiao was puzzled, "Lotus? Isn't it a lotus? ”

Meng Mingzhou smiled, "The lotus flower is called both lotus and lotus, the lotus seeds in the lotus pod it knot can be eaten, the lotus root with the root can also be eaten, the lotus leaf is not only a traditional Chinese medicine, but also can be cooked, the lotus ornamental is strong, it can be described as a treasure." ”

Su Qiao suddenly realized.

Su Ying always felt that Meng Mingzhou hadn't finished talking before, so she put out the stove fire and asked.

"Cousin Mingzhou, what did you mean on the surface, but what does it actually mean?"

The smile on Meng Mingzhou's face gradually retracted, and he slowly spoke, "The source of this sentence comes from" Ai Lian said "The person who wrote this was an official in ancient times, and what he expressed was that the officialdom is dark, and it is as difficult as it is for a lotus flower to come out of the mud without being stained. This is also the summary of his experience as an official, because he does not want to be in the same stream. ”

And "Mao Qinglian is not a demon", the expression means, but this is also his wish. Often walking by the river, how can there be a reason not to get your shoes wet? Therefore, among the flowers, the only lotus can be done, which is precious. This is also his sigh, because it is impossible for him to be alone in the general environment, so in addition to escaping and staying away, he can only conscientiously guard his own aspirations like him. ”

Su Ying sighed, "It turns out that the lotus flower is such a noble thing, I really want to see with my own eyes what it looks like." ”

Su Rui looked at Meng Mingzhou, who was alone after speaking, and looked at him with a lost expression, knowing that he must have recalled the past.

"The eldest sister will definitely let you see the lotus, it will be, and we will definitely get better and better."

Su Rui's three certainties made Meng Mingzhou's mood less heavy, and he smiled at Su Rui.

"I'll go see why Mingxu hasn't come back yet."

Su Rui saw that he was back to normal, "Well, tell them to come back quickly and taste the chestnut lotus cake made by Qiao'er." ”

"Chennan's!"

Su Chennan protected the little chick and didn't let Liu Cong touch it.

Su Wan grabbed him, "Brother, you're too stingy." The eldest sister said, be humble. ”

Su Chennan pursed his mouth and was about to cry, but Liu Si hurriedly came to his side, patted him gently, and coaxed him.

"Little master, don't cry, Cong'er doesn't want chicks."

Su Chennan opened his big watery eyes, glanced at Liu Si uncertainly, and then looked at Liu Cong.

Liu Cong immediately took two steps back, "Cong'er don't!" ”

Su Wan was very unhappy, "Chen Nan, you are not well-behaved, I have to tell the eldest sister." ”

When Su Chennan heard Su Rui's name, she immediately grabbed a chicken and stuffed it into Liu Cong's arms.

Liu Cong, "............"

Liu Si, "............"

Su Chennan pointed to the chick in Liu Cong's arms and said to Su Wan, "Chennan is good, don't tell the eldest sister." ”

Su Wan nodded with satisfaction.

Meng Mingxu came out of the rabbit delivery room and saw the four of them standing in the chicken pen with very different expressions.

"What's wrong with you?"

Liu Si smiled and said, "Young Master Mingxu, you're done." ”

Meng Mingxu nodded.

"Brother Chendong is laying straw in the rabbit nest for the rabbits that are about to be produced, let's go home first."

The group just walked to the door and was about to open the door, when they saw the courtyard door open by itself, and then looked at the original Meng Mingzhou opened.

"Hey, big brother, what are you going to do?"

Meng Mingzhou, "I'm going to look for you in the old mansion." ”

Meng Mingxu was puzzled, "We're in the old mansion, what are you looking for us to do?" ”

Meng Mingzhou picked up Su Chennan, who begged him for a hug, "Sister Qiao'er made a new snack today, and I'm going to let you taste it." ”

"Wow, snack!"

Su Wan rushed into the stove room with a loud voice, and then Su Rui's voice came.

"Su Wan! Did you come up and grab it, and when you came back, wash your hands? Go wash my hands and come over to eat. ”

"Sister, I'll go."

Before the words fell, I saw her rush out at a wind-like speed.

Liu Si was dumbfounded, Meng Mingxu shook his head amusedly, as long as Su Wan saw the food she hadn't eaten, it was like starving her for several days.

Wang, "Rui girl, let's go back first, there are other things to clean up at home." ”

Su Rui, "Taste the dim sum before you go." ”

Wang shook his head, "No, I will have a chance to taste it in the future." ”

How can Su Rui do something that makes people busy all morning without being able to eat a bite?

She casually packed five pieces of chestnut lotus cake and handed them to Wang.

"Today is just a test, so I haven't done a lot, uncle, you take it back and give it to Brother Chendong and they will taste it too."

Seeing that the rest was enough for their whole family to eat, Wang took it and took his leave.

After Wang and Su Ya left, Su Rui picked up a plate of lotus cake and walked out of the stove room, "You all wash your hands, and come to the hall after washing, Si'er and Cong'er are the same." ”

"Okay."

Liu's mother was reluctant to share a table with them, and Su Rui was not reluctant, she packed a few chestnut lotus cakes for her, asked her to go back to the room to accompany Liu De to eat two, and told her that lunch was still early, so she could rest for a while.

Su Wan, "Wow, eldest sister, this dim sum is so beautiful, it tastes good when you look at it, it's more beautiful than the dim sum made before, the third sister is so amazing." ”

After Su Wan washed her hands, she returned to the hall, and before she sat down, she crackled a lot of words, and Su Qiao pulled her to the seat funny, and put a piece of chestnut lotus crisp on the plate in front of her.

Su Rui, "Okay, stop boasting, eat yours quickly, Si'er, Cong'er also hurry up and sit down and eat." ”

Liu Si dragged his younger brother who wanted to sit down, "Miss, let's just stand and eat." ”

Su Rui was helpless, "..............."

Su Wan took a bite of the chestnut lotus cake, raised her head, and asked strangely, "Why do you want to eat it standing up?" Hurry up and sit down and eat! ”

Liu Cong raised his head and looked at his sister, Liu Si hesitated, although her grandmother kept telling her last night that she should be respectful to the Su family's sisters and sisters, but she was still young, and she didn't understand many things very well.
