Chapter 190: Cherry Blossoms Sending Off
It's March again, and this year's spring is late but beautiful.
The people in the capital gradually reduced their winter clothes, changed into spring clothes, and put on fresh jasmine rose forsythia flowers, and the street was a bright and fresh scene.
While Diancui was still guarding filial piety, Wu was afraid that she would be bored at home, so he relieved her and allowed her to go to Guozijian once every five days to bring food to Nian Ge'er and them.
Although she was wearing a hat along the way, Xin'er propped up the window of the carriage and could see the thriving scenery outside.
This year's spring is so beautiful, the flowers are especially beautiful, Diancui sighed, but unfortunately the master and his old man can't see it.
Especially from the Jinxiu Street that came out of the Guifu, and then to the Zhuque South Road, Wenhua Road, and Zhuangyuan Street, it was almost all the way from the Guifu to the Guozijian, and it was full of pink flowers of a tree.
These soft, weak, coquettish and charming flowers are not as proud as the plum blossom magnolia, but in his eyes, Diancui only feels that it is full of tenderness.
"What kind of flowers are those?" Diancui asked.
Xin'er shook her head, she had never seen it before, it was so beautiful that it was pink and tender.
When I arrived at Guozijian, now that the prisoners here have seen a little cui, they are much more polite and polite than before. Who doesn't know that this little girl is the fourth sister, who has eaten everything she cooks, but she has been lifted, and the two sessions of Xie Yuan have a lot to do with her.
"What delicious food did the fourth sister send today?" On the road, there was a smiling conversation with a prisoner,
"Go, go, the fourth sister is also what you can call," the son-in-law, who had been guarding the door early, drove those people away while entering the door with a little cui.
Today's son-in-law is really full of spring breeze, and when he saw Diancui, he even cracked his mouth to the root of his ears.
Originally, Lord Yue didn't expect him to be able to pass the exam, thinking that he would be in the national prison for two years, and begged for mercy in front of the prince, so he let him inherit his position. But I didn't expect to teach this kid to pass the test!
Even the son-in-law himself couldn't believe it, but he didn't even dare to think about it. I was supposed to rely on my father, but I can still rely on myself?!
On the day of the day of the lift, the homecoming banquet was set up for three days, but Master Yue insisted on setting up the flowing water banquet for ten days. He also prepared a generous gift and personally came home to thank him.
It turned out that none of the gentlemen that Yue Gongzi had befriended before were motivated, and since he got married to Yuan Zhiheng at the poetry appreciation conference, he was attracted by a certain recklessness and madness in Yuan Zhiheng, and then he got to know Diancui, and was attracted by the food she cooked. Later, he gradually mingled with several other people, and everyone studied their homework together every day, discussing the truth of knowledge in one place, and he followed the learning, talking, and thinking, and he also faded from the previous people.
Now among the seven people, together with Assistant Teacher Tang, all of them are lifters, how can it not be shocking.
"Fourth sister, what are you eating today?" Gongzi didn't let others ask, but he didn't forget to ask.
"Sixth Brother Yue, don't be in a hurry, you'll know in a while." Diancui sold a pass.
This aroused the curiosity of Yue Gongzi even more, and when he went to the stone plate under the acacia tree in the backyard of Guozijian, some of the other people were playing chess, and some were holding books to discuss knowledge.
Yuan Zhiheng put down the chess in his hand, greeted him, and called the teacher with a sweet voice, Yuan Zhiheng looked at her and said, Why is she still so thin.
Diancuiren lost a whole circle, and she looked smaller and smaller, she had been hungry for a long time when she was young, and she was shorter and thinner than others. When I came to Guifu, it was easy to grow some meat, which made people mellow, but since last year, Guo Lao didn't think about tea and dinner without her, and then he had to insist on filial piety and refused to eat meat, and he lost weight again.
"When you are still growing your body, eat some fish and meat, Guo Lao will not blame you." Yuan Zhiheng was distressed and whispered to her.
"I don't need to eat meat, I didn't have an appetite before, but now I have a spring appetite. Aunt Xing changed her tricks to eat with me, and her mother and sister-in-law often sent some strange ones to urge me to eat, and I should be fat again in the near future. Dian Cui smiled, but still insisted on not eating meat.
Although she is well-behaved, she has a bit of a stubborn little temperament, and Yuan Zhiheng doesn't want to take care of her strictly.
Xin'er put the food box on the stone platform, and as soon as the food box was opened, there was a different fresh fragrance:
The small wontons filled with fresh meat and purple cabbage happen to be one bite at a time; Radish meatballs; stir-fried tofu with spring leeks; The freshest yellow flower fish in the fish market is fried until crispy with egg liquid; The daylily is very tender, blanched with water, poured with boiling oil, a cup of vinegar, four coins of salt, a little pepper oil, grass fruit, and sand kernels; The toon sprouts are wrapped in flour and fried until golden brown, and sprinkled with pepper, salt and orange shreds; In addition, the chicken shaved tofu mixed with toon head is green and white, and it is very good-looking; Take the half-opened locust flowers and white sugar powder, flour, put them in a pot like oil and milk, fry them together, and after cooking, cut them into small pieces like eyes; Seven cups of silver silk noodles are made with shredded chicken and fresh bamboo shoots...... In addition, small dishes such as spring bamboo shoots and eggplant, and so on.
"No wonder the fourth sister refused to say it, it turned out that what was sent today was a spring banquet." Gongzi Yue smiled.
"No, now that spring has really arrived, it's time to eat the spring feast." Diancui Road.
"That's it, along the way, we have seen the spring flowers all the way, which are really beautiful and fragrant." Xin'er also said on the side.
"The flowers next to that road are good, and they bloom early." Gongzi Yue has to go home every day after the school is over, and he can see those flowers, but when he says this, his expression is a little strange, as if he has something to say, and finally swallows it again.
"It's a pity that the fourth sister can't eat meat," Li Sang said while still immersed in the umami of this spring feast: "At this time, the rabbits and finches in the mountains are the most fat, and they are called, roasted and eaten, which is also a spring flavor." ”
Li Sang, like Diancui, has lived a hard life without enough to eat, going up the mountain to catch rabbits, catching birds, and going into the water to catch fish and net shrimp, that is an expert. Diancui clapped his hands, and almost forgot that Brother Li would do this, and when we wait until this summer, we will go to the mountains to catch fish and play.
"You, you still think of yourself as a child, what kind of system do you have to catch fish and wipe shrimp." Gui Bonian smiled and said, Wouldn't it be necessary to take off your shoes and tie your sleeves when catching fish and shrimp, which is inappropriate.
"There is no one else, what are you doing to hold her." Yuan Zhiheng said unhappily.
This tone sounds like Dian Cui, but it doesn't look like his wife who hasn't passed through the door, but like his own daughter. Gui Bonian snorted coldly, I am not doing this for the sake of your surname Yuan's face, I don't know what to do.
Everyone laughed and ate, and ate the full table of spring banquets, and Dian Cui and Xin'er didn't wait much for fear of delaying the brothers' studies, so they left quickly.
"Miss, you said that we were sent by fragrant flowers all the way, are the streets and alleys of this capital full of such flowers and trees?" Xin'er was very curious.
Along the way, Du Xiaozhu drove the carriage very slowly, so that the young ladies could carefully look at the flowers.
"If this is to fill the capital with this kind of flowers and trees, it will be amazing." Diancui pondered to find a high place another day to see if this capital is really full of flowers.
Their carriage reached the end of Mandarin Road, and turned into a narrow alley, where the population gradually decreased.
"Miss, there's a carriage ahead, I'm afraid our carriage won't be able to pass." Du Xiaozhu said.
"Then find a spacious place, stop, and let them pass first." Diancui Road.
"Yes, miss."
I saw the carriage on the opposite side slowly passing by, but it stopped when it came closer.
One of the sons inside stepped out of the carriage.
"Miss, it's surnamed Luo!" Xin'er's heart immediately became vigilant.
It's really a narrow road, I went out carelessly today, I used to bring a few more guards, but today there is only Du Xiaozhu alone.
Diancui looked at Luo Jing, who was gradually approaching, thought for a moment, and said, "Help me get out of the car." ”
"Miss, no!" Xin'er said.
"It doesn't matter."
Diancui slowly got out of the car, Luo Jing walked up to her and stopped, didn't speak, just looked at her with a smile.
"The little girl hasn't had time to thank Luo Gongzi for saving my brother that day," Diancui stepped forward and said.
"I told you you forgot." Luo Jing said with a smile.
"I don't know what Mr. Luo is doing today?" After thanking him, Diancui asked.
Luo Jing scratched his head, and said it's okay, just come and see if these early cherry blossoms are blooming.
Sakura, it turns out that he was referring to the flower trees on the side of the road.
Diancui nodded slightly and said, "I see, the little girl retired first." ”
"Don't you want to know who planted these early cherry blossoms?" Luo Jing asked suddenly.
Diancui said: "Could it be Mr. Luo?" ”
It's really leisurely.
Luo Jing pretended to be mysterious and didn't answer, and asked again: "Last time, the eldest sister of your family almost hurt you into the water, do you hate her?" ”
Diancui reacted for a long time before he reacted, it turned out that he was talking about Gui Chuying, and then shook his head.
Luo Jing smiled and said You are really different from these women in the capital.
Diancui didn't pay attention to him, and turned his head to get into the carriage.
"Hey, I'm not done yet," Luo Jing added, "If you hate her, I won't associate with her anymore." ”
Diancui secretly gritted her silver teeth, what is wrong with this Luo Jing, what does it matter if you don't have anything to do with her.
"What does Master Luo mean by this, but it's all because of me that he has dealings with my eldest sister?" Diancui simply turned around and asked directly.
"This ...... It's nature. If it weren't for asking her about it, why would he bother to meet Chu Ying, who had returned home.
Diancui sneered and said: "This person often can't see through his heart, and his mouth is used to saying some duplicity. ”
If it was for himself, he Luo Jing would bypass so many of his own brothers in the Guozi Prison and not make friends, but he would go to make friends with a young lady in the boudoir.
It's ridiculous.
Luo Jing blushed slightly by what she said, in fact, if he thought about it carefully, he was willing to see that Miss Gui Chuying, and it wasn't all for the sake of Diancui. That Gui Chuying is talented, generous, and good-looking, and it is not annoying to talk to her.
"My eldest sister is a serious eldest lady of the Wupin official family, if Luo Gongzi is interested, he hired a matchmaker to say goodbye. If you don't have it, break it off as soon as possible. Wouldn't such an unjustifiable meeting and conversation ruin the reputation of a good girl? Diancui said coldly.
It's good to return to Chu Ying, but after all, the family is too low, and the people in the family will not agree, Luo Jing said:
"I'm afraid my mother won't agree to ......"
"Agree or not, Childe might as well give it a try, if Childe doesn't open this mouth, the world, including Mrs. Luo, will think that my eldest sister is delusional and wants to entangle you, do you know that my eldest sister is a person who wants to save face, and such a bad reputation may really take her life one day."
Diancui's words are not to be unfair to Chu Ying, but to see that they can't write a word in two strokes, if something happens to Chu Ying, their family's reputation will also be implicated. Now that the eldest brother has just been lifted, she has to take care of the feathers for him.
"Are you serious?" Luo Jing was shocked, it turned out that Miss Gui was a fierce person.
"It's more real than real gold." Cut gold and cut iron.
Luo Jing touched his nose, as if thinking about something. Dian Cui had already gotten into the carriage, and when the carriage passed by Luo Jing, he suddenly smiled and said:
"If I go home and mention this, will you give me a share of the food in your food box?"
"No!"
Luo Jing was not annoyed, and laughed.
Xin'er muttered in her mouth, could this Luo Gongzi have something wrong with his brain?
"By the way, I still have a word," Luo Jing pulled the horse rope and said, "Do you know who planted the cherry tree this early and for whom?" ”
Diancui was silent, waiting for him to speak.
Sure enough, Luo Jing said: "It was planted by the eldest son of the Wu family, as for who it was planted for, presumably the fourth lady should also know." ”
When Luo Jing mentioned Wu Yi'an, his face was still a little resentful, and there was some schadenfreude.
It turned out to be planted by my cousin...... Diancui was a little stunned.
Luo Jing let go of the reins in his hand, sighed and said, "Then Yuan Zhiheng is really that good?" ”
It was a pity that the carriage was speeding past him, and his questioning, as if he was talking to himself, was also scattered in the wind.
One day, Xin'er was still thinking about those early cherry blossoms, looked for a high place, and ran to Diancui after coming down and said that such beautiful flowers happened to only open on the road from Guifu to Guozijian, and there were no other sections of the capital......
"Young Master Cousin, this means that on the way to the country, there will be flowers to send all the way......," Xizi said quickly, but was glared at by Qiu Yue fiercely, and quickly shut up.
"Is my cousin leaving?" Diancui asked.
"Yes, I set off for the East China Sea a few days ago." Qiu Yue hurriedly said.
On the day of departure, it happened to be the early cherry blossom trees in the capital, and Wu Yi'an muttered that you should have seen this cherry blossom, not counting your missed appointment.
