Chapter 153: The Grace of Food and Clothing
In front of the student study house in the backyard of Guozijian, two ancient trees stand tall, a sycamore pavilion is like a canopy, and a he/huania flower is like a cloud.
Under the two ancient trees that cover the sky and the sun, there is a stone platform, which is not big or small, and it can just sit around six or seven people.
Now it's just full.
Diancui and Hanlian carried two large/large food boxes, each with four or five layers. A food box is full of noodles, steamed dumplings, soup dumplings, hot and sour noodles...... In one food box, rice dumplings and rice cakes stuffed with wine, one box in the other two food boxes are full of flavorful meat dishes and seafood, and the other box is full of refreshing seasonal vegetables and stuffed melon side dishes.
"Brother Yue, this is the roasted fish you want, sprinkled with pepper and spicy seeds." Diancui placed the fish plate in front of his son-in-law.
"Fourth sister Xie." Gongzi Yue likes spicy, and even rejoices when he looks at the spicy fish that is red on the fish.
"You are from the capital, and you go home to eat every day, why bother to grab food with us students from other places?" One of the students who spoke spoke with a Jiangnan accent.
"Qin Juren, your crab is raw, today's crab is fresh, just be careful not to get drunk." Diancui smiled and took out a large drunken crab to give birth to him.
As soon as Qin Juren saw his crab life, he immediately took it with a smile and ignored his son-in-law.
Qin Juren and Yuan Zhiheng studied in the same courtyard, and they were fellow villagers, with a simple and honest appearance, but a good family background, and they were the only son of the governor of the Jiangnan River.
It's just because he is too inconspicuous and dressed simply, because no one in the prison of this country now knows his family background, just because he is from a poor family, and there are some high-spirited students in the capital who are also bullying him. The only fellow villager in the academy is Yuan Zhiheng, who is also a lifter, but Yuan Zhiheng is a crazy person, who is dedicated to studying and has never taken the initiative to make friends.
On the contrary, it was the little sister who had returned home, and when she saw that he was alone and eating alone, she invited him to dine with her brother and others.
Qin Juren didn't accept it, he couldn't bear to ask for it three times and twice, and because he made some Jiangnan delicacies, it was really tempting, so Qin Juren also accepted the love of this returning sister.
Eating together, naturally not just eating together, for the classmates invited by his sister, Gui Bonian has always had the same words, and treats each other seriously and warmly, even Yuan Zhiheng has changed his arrogance and became familiar with him.
After people got acquainted, they saw that they didn't care about each other's talents, wills, and aspirations, and finally formed brothers with different surnames headed by Yuan Zhiheng.
There is no doubt that they are all Dian Cui's masterpieces, a surname Li, named Li Sang, who is three in the family, born in a poor family, and now he is just a showman, Dian Cui calls him Li Sange; The other is actually an assistant teacher surnamed Tang in the country's prison, and he is an extremely free and talented young man.
Yuan Zhiheng didn't know how his little apprentice suddenly had the intention of getting acquainted with these brothers, but the master and apprentice had always been one thing to think of, and since she was interested in getting acquainted, he would bother to maintain it.
Yuan Zhiheng didn't know the reason, and he couldn't see what was so good about these people, but Diancui knew!
It's just that in the past few days, a few years after his previous life, he was an honor of An Peiqing, and he bothered to curry favor with him, including Yuan Zhiheng...... was so bothered by An Peiqing, would he be an ordinary person?
These people will become great talents in the future, and now they are all friends with their teachers and brothers, and they must support each other in the future. Besides, the teacher and the elder brother are also so ungrounded, in addition to their own hard work in the future, they will naturally have to help from outside.
Now that she has been sincerely intersecting with these people for a long time, I am afraid that An Peiqing's abacus will not work in the future!
Dian Cuisheng is returning home, there is a righteous spirit of kindness in his blood and bones, and he also calculates the businessman's practices in his words and deeds, which he can't complain about her.
After the seven of them finished eating, Diancui helped them to bring up one of the two summer melons hanging in the well water. Yue Gongzi took off the dagger from his waist, cut the summer melon into several pieces, and connected the dot cui and the maid Hanlian, one by one to cool the heat and quench the thirst.
In those days, while eating and discussing what they had learned today, Diancui and Hanlian sat under the acacia tree on the other side, taking a small bite and looking at the flowers on the top of the tree.
After a while, but seeing that the voices of the seven people over there were low, Han Lian panicked and accepted the summer melon and put on the veil.
Diancui didn't need to look back, and knew that it should be Miss Qu Huasheng Qu who came.
"I can guess if I guess, today/You're here for dinner again." Qu Huashang was dressed in a narrow-sleeved cyan men's suit, with her hair tied high, and she was always sassy and heroic.
walked straight to Yuan Zhiheng's side, as if he didn't see everyone here.
These people, in addition to Yuan Zhiheng, there is also the little prodigy Gu Guangyao, among the students in the entire Guozi Prison, who are either graceful or illustrious or talented, these others are really too inconspicuous.
How could her curvy eyes stop for such an inconspicuous person?
Everyone was also self-aware, and when they saw her like this, they got up and said goodbye.
"Fourth sister, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone I sent the day before yesterday really broke your bank." Li Sang didn't forget to come and thank Diancui.
Su Rili has the habit of reading and writing while reading, and uses too much paper to grind, and only dares to use the cheapest jute raw edge paper, and the brush is reluctant to throw away when it is bald...... Now there are countless pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, but they are all lost to the sister who returned home.
"Third Brother Li, you must not be too careful, Diancui grew up in the countryside when he was young, he didn't understand those red tape etiquette, and he only regarded everyone next to the stone platform as his biological brother like a big brother. Besides, it's just some cheap bamboo paper, ordinary wolf oil and smoke ink...... Third Brother Li must not mention it again. ”
Diancui's voice is gentle and sweet, and she is comfortable when she speaks.
"Fourth sister, since you regard us as your own brother, whether it is food, clothing, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Li will also accept it, and the fourth sister will naturally be my own sister in the future, if there is anything, just tell the third brother, the third brother will never lie!"
In addition to food, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Diancui will also bring some clothes, although whether it is silk or green cloth clothes, they are all neatly made of seven sets and everyone has a share. But he, Li Sang, knew that except for Yuan Gongzi's family, there was no foundation, but he was the teacher of the fourth sister, and the family background of the others was acceptable, and he could even be said to be a wealthy family. He was the only one, and the white straight-fitting robe that had been washed all year round was patched with patches on the inside.
He really received the great favor of the fourth sister's food and clothing.
"Since Third Brother Li said so, Diancui won't be polite to you."
Diancui Shuang responded to it, which made Li Sang breathe a sigh of relief, and no longer felt embarrassed and uncomfortable by being favored by others, and only secretly wished that he had to work harder.
"You little girl is really funny, she was supposed to bring food to her brother and teacher, but she can make so much food for nothing, and give it all to some people who don't want to do it." Qu Huashang suddenly pointed to the dot cui under the acacia tree, and said with a smile: "Even if your family has a lot of money, it can't bear your toss like this." ”
Because of Qu Huashang's arrival, everyone was about to get up and leave, but after listening to her words, they couldn't stand still.
Especially the son-in-law, he looked at the delicate and willful Miss Qu with a smile on his shoulders.
"Miss Qu, don't bully our fourth sister." Qin Juren spoke with a Jiangnan accent and said full.
Qu Huashang snorted coldly, but saw Yuan Zhiheng pack up a few food boxes and handed them to Diancui's hands, and said warmly as usual Go back early, don't be greedy on the way.
Well, I know, Dian Cui took the food box and smiled at the master, a pair of big eyes that seemed to be crescent moons.
Looking at the natural conversation between the master and apprentice, Qu Huashang felt very panicked: "There is no good thing in the world to drop pies, you are so pretentious, but if you want to win over the students of our country, but for the future of your own brother?" ”
After saying this, he saw that no one spoke, and sneered slightly: "But the object you choose to please is really funny......"
Between the words, there was a lot of contempt for Li Sangqin and the people.
"You! Miss Qu, please be careful! My sister has always been kind, but I, the eldest brother, can't tolerate her being slandered. Gui Bonian snorted coldly.
Whether you are Miss Sacrificial Wine or Miss Wang Sun, you can't bully your sister, and it's rare for a humble gentleman to be angry when he returns to Bo Nian.
"Miss Qu is serious," Dian Cui looked at the eldest brother angrily, and hurriedly grabbed him, she didn't want her brother to offend this eldest lady of the country's priest for herself.
"Although returning home is not such a wealthy family, it is no longer a problem to invite a few brothers to eat a few meals. Besides, there is an old saying that don't bully the poor of the youth, and the achievements of my brothers will not live up to the expectations of the priest. ”
A few words that are not soft or hard, Qu Huashang said that it is not good to argue with her again, and several sons present also looked at each other and smiled, and then hugged each other and saluted, and then dispersed.
Dian Cui was naturally sent to the country by Gui Bonian.
"I didn't expect that Yuan Gongzi's apprentice was a sharp-toothed person, and she was an honest and decent girl when she looked at her gentle appearance before." Qu Huashang sat beside Yuan Zhiheng, propped up her chin and chuckled.
Yuan Zhiheng was noncommittal, leisurely ate the last piece of summer melon, and said: "Miss Qu is here, but you want to compare poetry?" ”
Qu Huashang snorted and laughed: "Yuan Gongzi, you are laughing at Huashang again, I am willing to bow down to the papers, where do you dare to humiliate yourself." ”
Looking at the melon juice on his mouth, Qu Hua's face was slightly red, he took out a sweat towel and wiped it off with him.
Yuan Zhiheng was also motionless, letting her fiddle.
Facing Yuan Gongzi's eyes, Qu Huasheng's cheeks were even hotter, and the affection in his eyes couldn't help himself.
Look at him sitting crookedly and leaning on the stone platform on the trunk of the sycamore tree, even the appearance of eating summer melon is full of arbitrariness that he doesn't care.
Accustomed to seeing a humble son who is as gentle as jade in the capital, or an arrogant and domineering aristocratic young master, Qu Huashang is the first time to see a man like him, and he finds it very interesting.
"Daddy said, among the seventy people who were originally scheduled to participate in the scientific expedition in the autumn of this year, one of them was seriously ill and said that he wanted to quit, and he has already promised me to add your name, so that there is no need to wait until the autumn of next year!"
Qu Huashang was full of smiles, and looked at Yuan Zhiheng after speaking.
"In this way, thank you Miss Qu for your recommendation." Yuan Zhiheng also laughed.
In fact, Yuan Zhiheng also laughed from time to time, but most of the time his laughter was to defeat his opponent in the test poems, laughing wantonly and happily, and then facing his female apprentice's fatherly smile...... Now he is laughing again, but Qu Huashang feels flattered, and his heart is even more happy.
"Look at you eating summer melon, the food is so raw and sweet, can Yuan Gongzi invite me to eat it?"
Qu Huashang is not good at coquettishness, and when she said such a thing, she was already red-faced and red-eared, and it took a lot of effort.
"Good," Yuan Zhiheng said.
