Chapter 90: Miscellaneous Noodles
Early the next morning, Ruoxue and Ruohong accompanied Tian to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to make the first pillar of incense, and listened to the morning lecture of the nuns there before returning to the guest house.
When I walked into the small courtyard, I saw Ruolan squatting in the corner, not knowing what to do there before the fourth spring.
Xiao Tao and the two maids stood by and watched her play there.
"What does the sixth sister do?" Ruohong said and walked over.
Tian also stood on his feet and looked at a few maids standing next to him, "It's early in the morning, how can you let your young lady be in that damp place, in case it gets wet, it's not fun." She said.
The maid, who was about to salute the Tian family, heard such words, and she didn't dare to speak for a while, and she lowered her head.
"Third Sister ,......"
Ruolan heard the voice and looked back at Ruohong who was approaching, holding a branch with dirt to show her, "The peach blossoms that were folded back yesterday are all wrinkled, I want to plant them here." She said.
Ruohong stretched out her hand to pull her up, and saw five or six peach blossom branches on the ground, and saw the branches with mud in her hand, so she smiled, and the child thought that if she planted it in the ground, she could live, which was also a kind of kindness, and should be praised and encouraged.
Reaching out and touching her face, "Little sister is awesome,......" Ruohong praised her appreciatively.
Ruolan was praised by her sister, and the smile on her face was as bright as the flowers competing for beauty in this spring.
Ruoxue also walked over and squatted down, patted the dirt on her body, and said, "Why don't you sleep?" What are you doing when you get up so early? ”
"I opened my eyes and didn't see my sister, so I asked Sister Xiao Tao to dress me and go out to play." Ruolan ran to Tian's side again, raised her head and said, "Auntie, don't punish Xiao Tao!" I'm going to come out to play, and they can't care about me, it's not their fault. ”
Tian was amused by her appearance, "Okay, I won't punish them." Hungry, right? We'll eat later. She said.
"Take the six girls to wash." Tian looked at Xiao Tao and ordered.
Xiao Tao and the two maids hurriedly came over and took Ruolan's hand and went into the house to wash.
"Two sisters, don't be afraid, the eldest aunt won't punish you." Ruolan whispered.
The two maids laughed.
Ruoxue followed Tian into the house, and a maid said back and forth that Aunt Zhou hadn't gotten up yet, and that Fifth Miss Ruofei had just woken up and was still changing her clothes, and breakfast had been prepared, just waiting for Miss Mrs. to come back.
Ruohong looked back at Ruolan's peach tree branches on the ground, smiled, and turned around and walked into the room where she and Ruofei lived.
Ruofei sat on a stool, with her jewelry box on the table in front of her, and Caidie stood behind her, holding a white jade comb for Ruofei to comb her double bun.
"Third sister, where have you been? Don't call me a word. Ruofei held a string of pink beaded flowers and raised her hand to let the colorful butterfly put it on for her.
Ruohong stepped in and said, "I went to worship the Buddha with my sister and my sister, and I didn't call you when I saw that you were asleep." ”
"Oh, worship Buddha! Then don't call me again. Have you eaten breakfast? Ruofei said.
Ruohong came to the edge of the table and picked up a string of gorgeous gems and beads to look at, "Just wait for you and Aunt Zhou to get up and eat." She said.
"Aunt Zhou, why can't she afford it, won't she be sick?" Ruofei saw Ruohong holding her beaded flower, pursed her lips and said, "It's good-looking, right?" This is my grandmother made a forehead, grandma rewarded me with beads, this is grandma's big box in the collection! ”
"It's pretty good."
Ruohong put down the bead flower and looked at the bead flower on her bun, it was a pale pink string of pearls, which was also very beautiful, much inferior to the string of gems.
"Why don't you wear this jewel bead? This one looks better. "Are you afraid that you will break it when you put it on? Ruohong thought so.
Ruofei looked at her in surprise.
Ruohong didn't know where she said wrong, "What's wrong?" Isn't that right? She asked, puzzled.
"The eldest uncle's filial piety has not yet passed, has the third sister forgotten the eldest uncle so quickly?" Ruofei's voice was a little louder, with a hint of accusation.
"I ......"
Ruohong was a little embarrassed, she didn't know how to say it, no matter how she said it, it was wrong, so she simply made a slip of the tongue.
She really forgot that Tian was not as sad and sad as before in the past two months, so she inadvertently forgot that her "father" died not long ago.
She was careless!
Ruofei looked at her like this, just as she had been asleep for a long time last time, and her head was not bright! At this time, Caidie also combed her hair in a bun, she stood up and grabbed Ruohong's arm, "Let's go, I'm starving!" With that, he walked outside.
In Tian's house, Aunt Zhou was embarrassed, sitting there a little helpless, she got up very early on weekdays, that is, she slept for a while when she was sleepy after breakfast, and she had to take a nap three or four times a day.
I don't know what's wrong today, but I've slept until now, it's a bit embarrassing!
Ruoxue watched the maid set up plates, soup bowls, chopsticks, spoons and other things, "It's nothing, my aunt is rested, and the younger siblings in the belly can grow well." She said.
Breakfast is a vegetarian meal at Hokkean Zendo, with only four simple vegetarian dishes, mixed noodles and japonica rice porridge.
Ruohong and Ruofei came in, and they were beckoned by the Tian family to sit beside them, Ruolan was already sitting on the other side of the Tian family, holding half a mixed flour bun in her hand, frowning and biting a little, chewing a little toothy.
The noodles I ate yesterday morning, the scones and bean curd soup for lunch, and the five-grain porridge in the evening are much better than this.
Ruoxue saw her frowning, so she asked, "What's wrong, isn't it delicious?" ”
"Hmm."
"That sister asked someone to take you home, and the food at home was delicious." Ruoxue said with a smile.
Ruolan just wanted to nod, but realized that Ruoxue said that she was going to send her home, so she shook her head again, and then took a big bite of the mixed noodles bun, "Okay... Eat. She said vaguely.
She doesn't want to go back!
"Don't always tease your sister......" Tian scolded Ruoxue with a smile.
Ruohong said with a smile: "Eating some mixed noodles and coarse grains is good for the body, looking at the masters here, they are not as weak as the ladies in the house." ”
A servant woman answered: "What the third lady said is that it is healthy to eat these, just take us subordinates, although we don't eat as well as the ladies and misses, this body is healthier than the masters, and I haven't seen any ......illness for a year and a half."
Before she could finish speaking, Ruofei said, "Are you complaining about the bad food at our house?" Wronged you? ”
How dare the servant woman say that the food of the master's family is not good, so she hurriedly bent her knees and said, "Oh, my fifth aunt and grandmother, the slave maid doesn't mean this,......"
"Don't call it that, I don't have a big nephew and granddaughter like you, and I don't have a meeting gift for you, reward you with a mixed bread, and you will say that I treat people harshly." Ruofei moved her chopsticks to pick up some vegetarian dishes, put them in her mouth and chewed them slowly.
The servant woman knelt down with a puff, raised her hand and slapped herself in the mouth, "Slave maid ......"
