CHAPTER XXIV
Chen Nanying saw that Cui Yuzhu seemed to be frightened, and secretly spit in her heart that she was too timid, but she made a look of concern on her face to comfort her: "My sister was frightened by the story that Sister Fang Cai said? That's just a fake, not true. ”
Cui Yuzhu said: "Sister Xie cares, I know this." ”
Chen Nanying said again: "Don't think too much, come, sister, try the snacks I made." ”
Cui Yuzhu heard the words and saw that the plates of crystal clear pastries on the table were neatly arranged, with flower-like, rabbit-like, and pumpkin-like, not only the color and appearance looked appetizing, but also delicate and reluctant.
Just looking at her index fingers, she couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful, I can't bear to eat it." ”
Chen Nanying said with a smile: "This is the jade cake I often make in Suzhou, and the taste should be quite refreshing." ”
"My cousin is really powerful, and my sister sighs to herself." Cui Yuzhu praised.
"Huh......" Seeing that there was another plate, she pinched a golden slightly curly sheet with her hand, and was a little curious: "What is this?" My sister also made it herself? ”
Chen Nanying was slightly complacent, she said: "Cousin doesn't know, this dim sum is called magnolia slices, which is to take magnolia petals and wrap them in flour and fry them in an oil pan with red bean paste. ”
Yulan?
Cui Yuzhu's face changed, and she put down the so-called magnolia piece, "What magnolia?" ”
Chen Nanying replied: "It's the big magnolia planted in your yard, I picked some ......."
Halfway through the words, Chen Nanying secretly said that it was bad, thinking: Oh no, when I was going to pick flowers, the people in her yard stopped me, and I couldn't see it when I picked some of them, so how could I say that I leaked my mouth.
As soon as these words came out, Second Mrs. Cui also smiled, her eyes showing worry, "Zhuzhu, your sister is a guest from afar, so it doesn't matter if you pick a few." ”
"Mother, you don't have to say much." Cui Yuzhu got up and interrupted Second Mrs. Cui's words, "This is not a big deal......
"Sister, sister is ashamed." Chen Nanying asked again: "Is that magnolia my sister's beloved tree?" ”
Cui Yuzhu shook her head, "Sister, don't be careful, no matter how beautiful the flower grows on the tree, it will eventually fall, and finally turn into mud, and my sister can make the best use of it." When she said this, her eyebrows lowered, but her voice trembled.
"It's just that I don't have a good appetite, and I can't eat the magnolia slices, so my aunt and sister enjoy it, so I quit first."
After saying that, the man turned and left. Her back is slender, there is a feeling of weakness, and she even looks a little lonely from a distance.
Zhang and Chen Nanying were a little embarrassed.
Second Mrs. Cui sighed, "This kid ......"
Chen Nanying thought that she needed to rely on this aunt more here, and was afraid that she would blame her for Cui Yuzhu, so she made a cautious appearance: "Auntie, what's wrong with my sister?" ”
Second Mrs. Cui was not too relieved, she explained to Chen Nanying: "The magnolia was originally planted for her by the old lady when Zhuzhu was five years old, and after the old lady passed away, Zhuzhu cherished the magnolia very much, and did not let people pick it, even the fallen flowers had to be buried together."
Zhuzhu is a child, you picked her flowers today, she didn't blame you in her heart, I guess she just thought about some of the previous things, just go back and cry when she cries, don't pay attention to her. ”
Look, that is, only people who know the root cause can say this, if Cui Yuzhu listens to it, it is estimated that he will be sad for a long time.
Chen Nanying was embarrassed, how could she pick a few flowers and be charged with making her cry again? Cui Yuzhu is not a three-year-old child anymore, this is not a trivial matter......
Zhang was also a little embarrassed, so he reprimanded Chen Nanying a few words, "You live in the same yard as your sister, and the two rooms are only more than ten steps away, and you don't ask before picking flowers, and then you make such a self-assertion, don't say that your sister, even I won't give you a good face." ”
Chen Nanying said: "What my mother said is that Nanying knows her mistake, so she will apologize to her sister." ”
As he spoke, he got up to find Cui Yuzhu.
Second Mrs. Cui hurriedly stopped her, "Nan Ying is not allowed to go, your sister is not a stingy person, she has just said that you don't need to worry too much, it can be seen that I don't blame you in my heart, if you go, it will make her sad." ”
When Chen Nanying heard this, she didn't stand there and walk, nor did she sit.
"Listen to my aunt, sit down and have tea."
Chen Nanying had no choice but to sit down obediently, and then listened to Second Mrs. Cui say, "Don't worry, she will forget about this after a while." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a mother-in-law came to tell me that it was the clothes from the Lan Embroidery Workshop that came to the door.
Second Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "It's just right to come, four sets of spring clothes made for your sister a few days ago were delivered, and she will be happy to see new clothes later." ”
She continued, "The days go by so fast, the day after tomorrow is the Little Hundred Flowers Festival, and then we can go and see this excitement together." ”
Chen Nanying's heart moved, and she hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what is the Little Hundred Flowers Festival?" ”
Second Mrs. Cui replied with a smile: "Nanying didn't know anything when she came to the capital for the first time, the Hundred Flowers Festival in the capital is different from other places, it is divided into the Little Hundred Flowers Festival and the Flower Dynasty Festival, and the Little Hundred Flowers Festival is the day when the flower goddess should be chosen.
Your sister happened to be on the fourteenth of last year, and this year she will be on the roster, just waiting to be selected with other girls. A total of 12 flower fairies are selected, and a flower god is selected, whether it is a flower fairy or a flower god, it is a very festive thing.
As for the Flower Dynasty Festival, it is the day when the flower fairies and flower gods ride the streets together in the car, and they are very lively in previous years. ”
Oh my God, Cui Yuzhu is going to participate in the Little Hundred Flowers Festival, and she herself has long forgotten about it.
Who will remember last year's registration?
When Chen Nanying heard that Cui Yuzhu could choose the god of flowers, she couldn't help but feel jealous. She was anxious like an ant, why didn't it take her turn to have such a good opportunity, if she also went to the election, at least she would earn the name of a flower fairy and come back, and she would have more chips in the future.
Chen Nanying is seventeen this year, and she is quite famous in Suzhou, and she has a very high vision, and she does not marry if she is not a child of a princely family. She loves to participate in things like this that can be in the limelight, and she thinks that she will never lose anyone when it comes to talent.
Thinking of this, she made a little girl's longing appearance, and only asked: "Auntie, the Little Hundred Flowers Festival here is so interesting, can I also run for election?" ”
Zhang also looked at Second Mrs. Cui.
"This ......" Second Lady Cui frowned, "This selection was reported last year, and it shouldn't be reported now, but ...... If someone abjects the election, a replacement place should be possible. ”
Cannot be registered...... But can it be replaced?
Chen Nanying nodded, "I see, then forget it." ”
Chen Nanying said in her heart: If you can replace the description, there is still a chance, and I don't know if I can buy this place......
The so-called money can buy ghosts and grind, what she Chen Nanying wants to do, what can't she do?
