Since Su Man was engaged to Lu Yan, he was completely detained in the house by Mrs. Su and Xie, saying that she wanted her to practice female celebrity well.

Su Man felt a headache when she thought of the pile of needles and threads, and begged Hongmei and Zizhu to cover her all day long, and used the handkerchief that the little girls deliberately embroidered to deal with Mrs. Su.

After more than half a month like this, Mrs. Su was really helpless about Su Man's clumsy embroidery skills, so she had to wave her hand and let Su Man go by herself.

After all, there are no elders in Lu Yan's mansion, and if his own girls don't do embroidery, they won't be disliked, so it's a big deal to marry a few more embroidery girls.

Su Man was naturally very happy when he got Mrs. Su's words, and copied a local Tibetan Bodhisattva Sutra for Mrs. Su overnight, and sent it to Mrs. Su devoutly, saying that she wanted to offer it to the small Buddha hall.

Mrs. Su was overjoyed, and she was even more indulgent to Su Man in the days to come.

If you want to say that this is a marriage or not, Su Man feels that there is no big difference between her.

Except, it's hard to see Lu Yan anymore.

Originally, the two brothers and sisters were commensurate, although one lived in the outer courtyard and the other lived in the inner courtyard, but after all, they were in a mansion, and there was no taboo for the two to come and go.

Now that this house is separated by two alleys, Su Man found that he hadn't seen Lu Yan for more than half a month.

A few days ago, Su Man still beckoned Tang Niangzi to come over and have a look, and asked Queen Ji how the matter was investigated. But every time Tang Niangzi heard her instructions, she smiled ambiguously, and after a long time, Su Man actually felt a little embarrassed, so she didn't call her over again.

In this way, Su Man really lived the life that a girl to be married should have.

It's just that the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and Su Man begins to miss the modern air conditioner again.

Hongmei saw that she was not energetic, so she instructed Marigold who was standing aside and fanning: "Did you come from the cold mung bean soup in the big kitchen, you go and bring a bowl to the girl." ”

Su Man thought about the mung bean soup in the kitchen, which had no taste, waved his hand weakly, and said: "Don't drink it, don't drink it, although mung beans are a relief from the heat, but the soup in the big kitchen has no taste, if you can have a bowl of mung bean paste......"

Speaking of mung bean paste, Su Man turned over from the kang with a grunt, looked at Hongmei with sparkling eyes, and asked, "Speaking of which, there should be soaked mung beans in the big kitchen." ”

Hongmei didn't know what her girl was thinking of again, so she just nodded: "It's hot now, and mung bean soup must always be prepared in the big kitchen, so this soaked mung bean is indispensable." ”

"That's good!" Su Man said, then turned over from the kang, stepped on his shoes and ran out excitedly, "Let's go, let's go to the big kitchen, this girl will personally show you today." ”

Seeing this, Hongmei hurriedly followed, and kept shouting: "Girl, girl, slow down." ”

Su Man didn't pay attention to Hongmei at all, and went straight to the big kitchen after Yiranzhai.

It was the middle of the afternoon, and the cooks in the big kitchen had already closed the fire and rested, leaving only a mother-in-law to doze off on the stove where the water was boiling.

When the woman heard the movement, she hurriedly raised her head, and when she saw that the person who came was actually a big girl, she hurriedly came over with a smile: "What does the girl want, just tell a girl, why did she come here in person?" ”

Su Man hummed casually, looked around, and asked absentmindedly, "Do you have soaked mung beans?" Is there any peeled? ”

Although the woman didn't know what the big girl was going to do, but when the master asked, she could only answer truthfully: "This soaked mung bean has its own," she said, and lifted the lid of a large wooden barrel beside her, which contained clear water, and the water was full of bright green beans.

Su Man could see that the mung beans had been soaked, and the people in the kitchen seemed to have changed the water in time, and the beans had been soaked to twice the size of the original, but the water was still very clear and not a little turbid.

She stretched out her hand and fished out a bean, and gently twisted it with her fingers, and the mung bean skin fell off.

Su Man nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "Fish out some of these beans for me, I'm going to peel them to make some mung bean paste." ”

The woman hurriedly responded, took clean dishes and basins from the cabinet on the side, and brought some out for Su Man.

Su Man looked at the round and plump mung beans, smiled at the red plum behind him, and said, "This afternoon, we can count as having a job to do." ”

Hongmei didn't know what her girl's idea was, so she asked cautiously, "What does the girl want to eat?" You don't have to do it yourself, just the servants. ”

Su Man waved his hand and said, "This hands-on cooking food is also a kind of enjoyment, and I have nothing to do, so I personally made it for my grandmother to taste." ”

In this way, Su Man soaked in the kitchen this afternoon, she originally thought that it was not difficult to peel the mung beans, but their master and servant worked hard all afternoon before they peeled out a small half pot of peeled mung beans.

Su Man rubbed his stiff shoulders, and had to greet the mother-in-law: "You have steamed this mung bean and pureed it, Hongmei, you go to the housekeeper to get a piece of ice, it needs to be clean and the kind that can be eaten." ”

Hongmei answered, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, and the woman also listened to the order and got busy.

Su Man spent a whole afternoon in the big kitchen, and then happily went to the Compassion Courtyard with two small bowls.

The courtyard of mercy is quiet at the moment, Su Man is a little strange, it is already past the lunch break at this time, and the girls are all standing under the corridor one by one, without the slightest movement.

Mother Zhou was also standing outside the partition door of the main room at this time, and when she saw Su Man coming, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Why did the eldest girl come here now, the weather is hot at noon, why don't you wait for the sun to set, and come back after the heat has subsided." ”

Su Man glanced sideways at the tight partition door, and then replied with a smile: "It is precisely because the weather is too hot that I made some refreshing snacks and brought them over to give my grandmother a taste." ”

Mother Zhou heard this, but the look on her face was a little strange, she pulled Su Man aside, lowered her voice and said: "It's a bad luck that the girl came today, the old lady is talking to the third master at this time, otherwise, you can leave the things and wait for the old slave to bring the old lady in person." ”

Su Man naturally responded with a smile, asked Hongmei to hand the tray to Zhou's mother, and carefully instructed: "Mom, I put some ice in this mung bean paste, you tell grandmother not to eat too much." ”

Zhou's mother hurriedly responded, handed the things back to the little girl on the side, and was about to send Su Man out, but she heard an angry shout from the main room behind her.

"You son of a, are you going to me to death?"
