The one hundred and forty-sixth grapes are ripe!
The servants were hanging papier-mΓ’chΓ© lanterns under the corridor, and Su Xiangsi listened to the bamboo courtyard by the dim candlelight. The delay in Yi'an Hospital was too long, and my parents are afraid that they have been waiting for a long time now.
"Mother, father, have you had dinner?" Su Xiangsi lifted the curtain and went in, and saw the couple sitting on the edge of the bed and flipping through the military books.
Since returning to Beijing for half a year, in addition to going to the barracks to practice and sort out affairs, the couple can only pass the time with military books when they are free.
Su Mian beckoned to her, motioned for her to sit down, and said, "Grandmother, is it difficult for you?" β
Su Xiangsi shook her head, some painless and provocative words, the most disappointed should be Su Yiling.
"Grandmother's expectations were too high at first, and she couldn't accept that the second sister couldn't leave the brand."
"It's a good thing that our Si'er didn't leave a sign, it's a pity that the good years are buried in the palace. There are still great rivers and mountains that I haven't been able to walk through. Li Qinse knew that her daughter didn't take the draft to heart, and her worries were still unabated. The matter between the girl and Mu Jinchen is only known to the two families in private, if the emperor is crooked and leaves Su Xiangsi behind, it will be messed up.
Besides, the girl is their treasure, and they can't see each other a few times a year when they enter the palace as a concubine. suddenly opened the identity of lovers, and also paid attention to the etiquette rules in the palace at any time, not just as simple as being born.
"This is what my father and mother promised me, and in the future, they will take me to visit the beautiful mountains and rivers in this world."
Su Mian laughed out loud, he never restrained his children, it was an accident that Su Xiangsi could understand proportions better than many young ladies of the family.
Back in her room, Rosin had already prepared a bowl of custard. On the way back, my own young lady kept muttering that the draft was too sinful, and she couldn't eat much all day, and she couldn't eat openly in Yi'an Hospital. Take two more steps and you'll be faint from hunger.
Mu Jinchen also brought a spiced chicken from Jinxiu Building, and the palace prepared all pastries that did not match her appetite.
Su Xiangsi couldn't hold it anymore when she smelled the fragrance, so why did she go to the draft to suffer for herself.
"Eat slowly, if you're hungry in the palace, you don't know how to go and eat first." Mu Jinchen took a handkerchief to help her wipe the sauce off the corner of her mouth, and said that she was willing to say something heavy to her in a blaming tone.
"What do you bring in the palace to my liking." The taste of spiced chicken was still in his mouth, and Su Xiangsi sighed with satisfaction, "Wait for me for a while." β
So saying, he went out of the house, and asked Rosin and catkins to bring the basket and scissors.
Before going out this morning, I hurriedly took a few glances at the grapes on the grape trellis, which have changed from astringent green bunches to now two palms in a bunch, and the black purple translucent arouses the appetite.
Su Xiangsi picked one and tasted it, it was ripe thoroughly, with a big skin and thin seeds, a small and sweet taste, and she was very satisfied. Greet the rosin and catkins to taste it quickly, and it takes a lot of effort to make this grape trellis.
Mu Jinchen could see the maid holding a lantern under the grape trellis from the lattice window, and she was holding scissors in her hands to cut the grapes. When I came back from Xinghai City, I waited for the grapes to ripen quickly.
Hearing the laughter and talking, his heart became softer and softer, and he really didn't want to leave her for half a minute, and when everything was settled, he could live a carefree and happy life.
He had already begun to think about the days to come, and Su Xiangsi had already carried a whole basket of grapes into the house, pinching one and stuffing it into his mouth.
"How?" There was a faint smile in Lingdong's eyes, and he looked forward to it.
He swallowed the flesh and nodded, "It's really good." β
Stretching out his hand to pick a grape, Su Xiangsi patted the back of his hand: "This is for Aunt Jiao and Uncle Qian, you can bring it back tomorrow morning and give them a taste." β
Mu Jinchen's heart was a little jealous, and he was not as important as her parents in her heart.
In three days, he was asked to bring things back, which was a sachet for calming the mind and a list of medicinal meals to nourish the body. The new tea leaves in the Splendid Building, the rare teacups of Hua Zhenxuan.
Coax your parents to be happy, if it weren't for the special situation now, you would have gone to the mansion to propose that you finish the marriage earlier.
He couldn't ask for the marriage in advance, but he was too partial.
Su Xiangsi sensed his thoughts, stretched out his foot and kicked him: "Mine is also yours, how can you eat your parents' flying vinegar." β
Mu Jinchen was silent, but his heart was a little more comfortable.
It was already the middle of the night after Su Xiangsi finished bathing and working, yawning and Mu Jinchen fell asleep before they could say a few words. Mu Jinchen looked down at the sleeping face of the person who had been squeaking for a long time in his arms, hugged her tightly and slowly fell asleep with satisfaction.
On the second day, he found that the waist seal of the robe placed with his clothes next to the bed was obviously not his, and after asking, he found out that she had rushed it out a few days ago.
The smile on the corner of Mu Jinchen's mouth couldn't be extinguished, needlework was not what she was good at, and it was really difficult for him to embroider a waist seal. Yu Yi always felt that something was wrong with his master today, and he couldn't say anything was wrong. It seems like...... The corners of your mouth have been smiling all the time?
Today, the catkins and rosin let Su Xiangsi go, and the horse was not urging her to get up, and let her sleep in the dark. The second lady, Su Yiling, had already gone to ask An to accompany the old lady for breakfast, and her own young lady got up to wash up in a daze.
Early in the morning, it spread all over the capital, and the four show girls surprised everyone, and they also lost a small amount of money. The most optimistic few high-ranking ladies of the family failed to leave a brand.
It is also said that the daughters in the capital are all as beautiful as flowers, if the emperor had been admitted to the harem a long time ago, how could he wait until this time. This time it also opened my eyes, and the temperament of girls in various places is very different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is pleasing to the eye.
The young maids in the courtyard gathered around the grape trellis and shouted for Su Xiangsi to be careful, the two small bamboo baskets were already full, and the remaining bunches on the shelves could be filled with the third basket.
This trellis can be said to be the whole yard of people poured their hearts and minds. When she was still a seedling, Su Acacia took care of her in every way. I hope that my mother and the little maids will come to see it every day. It is also fertilizing and catching insects, and every process does not dare to slack off.
Even when the third master and his wife came back, they had to look around the grape trellis a few times before they were willing to go back to the house. If it rains too much, the whole yard is worried that the grapes will be knocked down.
I thought that the seedlings would not grow, but in the blink of an eye, they filled the entire shelf, and the green was very eye-catching.
Su Xiangsi wiped the dense sweat on his neck with his sleeves, full of a sense of accomplishment. You can consider planting a garden of grapes in Sijing Garden, and you can pay a fee to pick them freely, which is a lot of income.
I picked a few bunches of the best-looking grapes from the basket and carried them in my arms and walked to Li Qinse's house, not forgetting to advise: "Leave half a frame in the courtyard for you, and send two bunches to the other yards." β
The maids thanked Su Xiangsi happily, and the master had a rule, bringing half a frame of grapes to the backyard and dividing the grapes.
In a quarter of an hour, the grapes planted by Su Xiangsi, the third lady of General Su's mansion, were sent to several mansions.
Yang Yi was willing to stop after eating a bunch in one go, it was worthy of the grapes planted by Sister Acacia herself, not to mention the good taste of the grapes.
The eldest princess Duanyi was coaxing the little great-grandson with the Ma family in the Taishi Mansion, and the maid came to pass the word because both of them were full of surprise in their eyes. Who's girl is not two who don't touch the spring water, but this third lady made the grapes by herself.
General Su had a few old friends to discuss these two bunches of grapes sent to the door, and after the old friends tasted it, they praised Su Acacia a few times, and General Su was blessed. This can make General Su so beautiful that there are a few more wrinkles on his face.
The grapes that she had been waiting for for a long time were picked in less than half an hour, and Su Xiangsi began to think about planting some new things in the yard.
