The rain is very thin, and it is soft when it falls on the body. Xing Ruyi was lying on the window, looking at the Ah Niang in the sauce making workshop opposite.

When the knock on the door came, Ah Niang was filling the brewed sauce beans into a crockpot, she only looked up at Xing Ruyi, and Xing Ruyi slipped down from the window with a smile.

"A-Niang doesn't have to go, go as she wishes."

I walked through the drizzle in the courtyard to the door, opened the door, and saw a girl standing outside the door. The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with her hair in a bun, her face thin and pale, and her hands were hidden in the cuffs. Her clothes were old, and there were some stains on the hems, as if they had come from the kitchen. The rain fell on her hair, and there were more shiny beads on the tips of her hair.

"Is my sister buying sauce? My aunt is busy, what does my sister need, Ruyi will help with it. ”

The girl opened her mouth, as if in a bit of distress.

"Sister came in and said." Xing Ruyi let the girl into the door and looked up at her.

"I'm not here to buy sauce, I'm here to find Aunt Sauce."

"My aunt is in the sauce-making workshop, if my sister doesn't like the taste, come with me."

The girl nodded and followed Xing Ruyi into the courtyard.

Aunt Jiang'er's gaze poked out from behind the window, recognized it, and asked, "You're winter grass, right?" The big girl of the Han family. ”

"Yes!" The girl nodded: "I am Dongcao, and when I was a child, I often came to Aunt Sauce with my mother to buy sauce to eat." ”

"I remember you, but you haven't been seen for a while." Aunt Sauce rubbed her hands and walked out of the sauce-making workshop: "Come to buy sauce?" Or bean paste? ”

Han Dongcao shook her head: "I came here today to ask Aunt Jiang to teach me something to do." ”

"Hey, what else will your aunt do in this life besides making sauce." Aunt Jiang waved her hand: "Say, do you want to learn that?" ”

"I want to learn the champion cake."

"Champion cake?"

"Well, my brother is old enough to take the exam, and I want to learn it early."

"I remember that you had a younger brother, but I didn't expect them to be so old." Aunt Jiang originally wanted to say that there is a shortage of soldiers outside, but I heard that the emperor's country is going to be unstable, where is your brother going to take the top prize. But think about it again, this is a matter of other people's families, and she is not easy to intervene as an outsider. Simply, swallowed back into his stomach.

Peanuts are ready-made at home, and the top cakes have to be mixed into salty flavors, and then mashed and ground into peanut flour. Subsequently, add glutinous rice flour, milk or goat's milk, stir well, add water and put it in the cage drawer to steam. If you want to make this champion cake, you have to use a mold to make it into the shape of a champion hat. Aunt Sauce's mold was made by a carpenter in the town, and learning to make this champion cake was originally for Ruyi's father who was studying, but unfortunately, her father had no intention of pursuing a career and was not willing to take the test at all, so these skills that Aunt Sauce learned were useless.

taught Han Dongcao how to make champion cakes, and when she left, Aunt Jiang gave her the mold for making champion cakes.

After Han Dongcao left, Aunt Jiang brought the remaining champion cake to Xing Ruyi, and while watching her eat, she chattered about Han Dongcao.

Speaking of which, the Han family is still somewhat related to Aunt Jiang'er's maiden family, but they are distant relatives, and they don't move around much on weekdays. The Han family has two children, Han Dongcao is the eldest and has a younger brother, Han Baoyu. One is grass and the other is jade, just from these two names, it can be seen that the Han family is a family that takes a fancy to their son.

"That old man Han is an old stubborn, as soon as the winter grass landed, he shouted that he wanted to throw this girl away, and said that all the daughters were raised for nothing. Winter grass, winter grass, where did the name come from? One is because this girl was born in winter, and the other is because her stubborn father thinks that his daughter's life is as cheap as grass and she is not worthy of being born in their Han family. If it weren't for Dongcao Niang crying to death, this girl would have died a long time ago. ”

"In this way, Sister Dongcao's mother is still good to Sister Dongcao."

"That was before Han Baoyu was born. When her younger brother was not born, her mother treated her well, at least she lacked anything in food and clothing, and often brought her to our house to buy sauce. Dongcao, this girl is very sensible, and she is also diligent in her hands and feet, and she has a reputation in our town. But since her younger brother was born, her mother has never brought her to our house again, but I heard some people close to their house say that the old man Han used this girl as a maid at home. ”

"It's too much." Xing Ruyi's champion cake can't be eaten.

"There's something even more excessive."

"And?"

"Dongcao is six or seven years older than her younger brother, and when she reaches the age of thirteen, her father and mother think she is in the way, and they tell her about her family affairs and marry her off."

"It's okay to get married, and the province will be looked down upon at home."

"Silly girl, just like her father Old Man Han, can she find a good family for her. The old man Han is obviously marrying a girl, but in fact he is selling his daughter. If you marry into such a family, it is better to sell it to a green building and a flower building. ”

"What kind of person is that?"

"Eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and beating the lady, whatever kind of thing is bad, he will do it."

"Huh?"

"Girl, what are you doing with such a big mouth?" Aunt Jiang glared at Xing Ruyi: "The man that Old Man Han found for Dongcao is surnamed Hu, and he is a well-known bastard in our town. Since the day he was sensible, he has not done a good thing. But there is one point, their family is rich, and their ancestors are big dealers, and when they come to him, even if they are idle every day, they don't worry about starving to death. Because of his wealth, he married three or four ladies before and after, and they were all tortured to death by him not long after entering the door. When Old Man Han married Dongcao to him, he was thirty years younger, and if he had children, the children would be older than Dongcao's. If it weren't for the money-greedy family, who would send the girl to that kind of place? ”

"Sister Wintergrass......"

"Also beaten. The bastard became more and more experienced the more he played, and he specialized in finding some places that outsiders couldn't see, and he also learned to control his strength, and he could see that he was half dead, but he still let you breathe. Your sister Dongcao is eighteen now, from thirteen to eighteen, a whole five years, I really don't know how she survived. ”

"Why don't you get separated?"

"Merge? Is Old Man Han willing?" Aunt Jiang shook her head: "You know why I agreed with what your father said and let you go to a private school, right?" This woman, with a little more knowledge, can grow a little more ability and ideas. Your father and I are naturally reluctant to let you marry into such a family, but you know that people don't know their faces, who can guarantee that my Ruyi will meet Ruyi Langjun in the future. ”

"I'll look for it according to my father's appearance, and it won't be too bad in the future."

"What's so good about your father?" Aunt Jiang pouted: "What else does he have besides those who are in that face and head." There are more than 360 days a year, and he can stay outside for 300 days. What is the difference between such a public being and not? My mother doesn't want you to be like my mother in the future, guarding an empty house day and night. ”

"Then we don't want Daddy, okay?"

"Talking nonsense again, can Daddy not want it?" Aunt Jiang raised her hand: "Don't say this kind of thing again in the future." Your father is away from home, and it is also for the sake of our mother, and he may not be able to feel good in his heart. ”

"When will Daddy come back, he will write back, but can he say it in the letter?"

"Anyway, I'll be back in a while." Aunt Jiang looked at the eaves opposite, and her eyes softened: "The world is chaotic outside, and your father is not worried about our mother." Although it is important to earn money, no matter how important the silver is, it is not as important as people. Your father is a well-read and understanding person, he knows what he should cherish, what he should give up, and he knows what he needs to do at this time. ”

"Yes, yes, in my mother's heart, Daddy is the best, and the men in the whole town can't compare."

"That's nature." Aunt Jiang pinched Xing Ruyi's nose: "Can the man I personally choose from Aunt Jiang be bad?" ”

Behind the ridge, the fox who was drizzling alone sneezed lightly, and he said in his heart, that man really wasn't chosen by your aunt herself.

If you want to be reborn, you have to choose a mother, choose a mother who is suitable for the eight characters and is still healthy, and he picked it for a long time before he picked Aunt Sauce. Aunt Sauce has a pungent temperament and is hearty, and she will be Ruyi's mother, and she will definitely not teach Ruyi to be as delicate and powerless as those current boudoir women. But it's not enough to be spicy and hearty, she also has to have a father who can take out her hands, and she chooses to choose, and she chooses the kid from the Xing family. He is handsome and knowledgeable, and the key is that he is still surnamed Xing.

His Ruyi is only suitable for the surname Xing.

The nine-tailed fox fairy wants to match a marriage, which is an ironclad thing. So, Aunt Jiang met Xing Shusheng and fell in love at first sight. Xing Shusheng is obsessed with knowledge and is not good at short things in the family, so it is most suitable to marry a lady like Aunt Sauce. And just like that, they became the most surprising couple in town.

Aunt Jiang didn't know about these things, and the scholars of the Xing family didn't know either, let alone Xing Ruyi.

The next time I saw Han Dongcao was at dusk two days later, she was still wearing that dress, and when she saw Xing Ruyi, she only said one sentence: "My brother likes the champion cake that Aunt Jiang taught me to make." ”

After that, the man was gone.

Xing Ruyi smelled the smell of blood in the air and the smell of arsenic mixed in the smell of blood, and she knew that the hard-working sister Dongcao in A-Niang's mouth was gone.

After another day, a news began to spread in the town, saying that Han Baoyu, the second son of the Han family, had killed his sister Han Dongcao, and it was none other than the bastard husband that Han Dongcao married. As a result, the town staged the most chaotic scene in history, and the Han family cried and blamed the bastard for killing their daughter. The bastard shouted and scolded, saying that his wife went home to visit relatives, but was killed by his own brother. The official man had a headache, and he directly ordered that all the people who made these troubles be locked up in prison.

The prison in the town finally reached its peak and became crowded.
