Chapter Sixty-Eight: I Love Rainy Days

Wei Yining got up in the morning and sat in front of the window to enjoy the rain, the rain has been falling for three days, and it is still falling.

She lived with Wei Laner in the palace of the king of Qingxi, and there was a lotus pond in the courtyard, and a lot of plantains were planted.

In the middle of summer, the lotus flowers are blooming brightly, but now it has been rained, but it has added to the charm of Chuchu.

Wei Yining hasn't enjoyed the scenery of rain hitting plantains and lotus leaves for a long time, so he watched it with relish.

Wei Laner had long been accustomed to this, she wore a long silver-red jacket over her snow-crepe coat, and her face was still a little unawakened, and her cheeks were beautiful.

With a long yawn, he walked up to Wei Yining with his jade-colored sleeping shoes inlaid with pearls, stretched out his hand and brushed her back and said, "You have been sitting by the window for so long, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Wei Yining, like her, wore a middle coat with pajamas and nightshoes, a long coat with makeup and satin on top of the middle coat, her hair loosely pulled up, and her big black and white eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky after the rain.

"It's not cold," Wei Yining said with a smile, "It's rare to have such cool weather." ”

The clammy rain fell on the skin through the curtain, stirring up small ripples in the heart. Except for herself, no one will remember that when she was young, she liked rainy days the most, and often stood under the porch with an umbrella, and stood for half a day.

The second lady, Wei Lanshan, has always been anxious, and it rained so hard, she still brought the maid over.

As soon as he entered the door, he said, "I just went to greet my mother, and she told me everywhere to tell me that the weather is bad today, so you don't have to go over to say goodbye." It also saves her the toss of dressing and combing her hair, and I have already asked Yahuan to take the charcoal basin to her mother's house. ”

Before her words fell, Wei Lanmei also came over, followed by a mother-in-law holding a charcoal basin in her hand.

It turned out that the old princess had rheumatism, and when she encountered a rainy day, she had to put charcoal fire in the house to remove moisture and drive away the cold.

Wei Lanmei smiled and said: "I know that in such weather, I have to use a charcoal basin in my mother's room, so I also took one, such a ceiling is good for roasting quails with charcoal fire!" ”

Sure enough, the little girl behind her was carrying an iron pot in her hand, which was matched with the charcoal basin, just on top of the charcoal basin, used to bake things and eat.

Wei Laner became anxious for a moment, and said: "Don't mess around with me, greasy and dirty, what's delicious!" ”

Wei Lanmei didn't feel angry at all, but still said with a smile: "I thought that Sister Yining must also love to eat, so I simply came to you." If you don't want to, it's okay, I'll take Sister Ning to my side. ”

Wei Laner is the best with Wei Yining, where is she willing to let her go?

Wei Yining smiled and asked, "Fourth sister, I don't know what you want to bake?" ”

As soon as Wei Lanmei heard this, she quickly said, "I ordered the kitchen to prepare chicken wings and quails, what else do you want to eat?" ”

Wei Yining said: "I want to ask if there is fresh mutton? ”

When Wei Lanshan and Wei Laner heard this, they hurriedly said: "The mutton is so bad, you can't eat it, you can't eat it!" ”

As he was talking, Wei Lanpei also came with the little prince Wei Yingjue in her arms, and the third lady Wei Lanzhu followed behind with a smile.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively. Wei Lanpei is elegant and amiable, Wei Yining was convinced that there is really such a beautiful and gentle lady in this world after meeting her.

Wei Lanzhu has always been gentle and silent, walked in with a smile, and sat there quietly.

At this time, except for the fifth miss Wei Lanqi and the seventh miss Wei Lanyu, several children of the Wei family had arrived.

"Why don't you see the fifth sister and the seventh sister?" Wei Yining asked.

"The seventh sister has already gone to her mother to say hello in the morning, and now she has returned to her own yard early and played chess with herself!" Wei Lanshan said: "As for the fifth child, don't ask, you must be sleeping with her cat in her arms in such weather!" ”

Wei Lanqi is obsessed with cats, and she has more than a dozen cats in her yard and spends her days with cats.

Wei Yining also often goes to her to play, knowing that her two favorite cats are "Snow Lion" and "Flower Tortoiseshell", and Wei Lanqi also cuddles them when she sleeps.

The first thing Wei Yingjue does when he wakes up every day is to find Wei Yining, and today is no exception. When he saw her, he broke free from the eldest sister's arms, hugged Wei Yining's neck, and rested his head on her shoulder.

"I think I just heard you say who wants to eat mutton?" Wei Lanpei asked.

"I said it," Wei Yining took over with a smile: "Because the fourth sister said that she wanted to eat barbecue, I remembered to ask, is there fresh tender mutton in the kitchen?" ”

"Of course there is," Wei Lanpei's housekeeper naturally knew this: "My sister wants to eat, I will ask the kitchen to prepare." ”

"Actually, I'm thinking of making a bowl of mutton soup for my mother in this weather." Wei Yining stated his purpose.

"It's summer now, how can you eat mutton? Isn't it hot in the summer? Wei Lanshan said quickly.

"I don't know if my sister has ever heard of this saying, eating mutton on dog days can cure cold. What's more, the weather is cool today, so it doesn't hurt to eat some. Wei Yining said impatiently: "When I was in Lao Linghe, everyone over there celebrated the Sheep Festival. On the day of the summer season, the sheep is killed and eaten meat, and the mutton soup is boiled and more pepper is added. The purpose is to get rid of the cold that is dormant in the body. Although I don't know medical science, I think it's the same as the medical book says about winter diseases and summer treatment, right? ”

"What Sister Ning said is quite reasonable, it's rare that you have this filial piety, my mother is really uncomfortable today, and she didn't even eat when she got up early." Wei Lanpei couldn't help but look worried when she said this.

Wei Yining got dressed and combed her hair, and went to the kitchen to cook in person.

She cooks almost every day in Lao Linghe, and she is even more proficient in making mutton soup.

After a short while, take out a bowl of the prepared mutton soup and place it on a tray. I saw that the soup was milky white and delicate, lined with tender green coriander leaves, and the heat on it rose like a light veil, which was particularly appetizing.

Cover the lid and ask the maid to carry it to the old princess.

Wei Lanmei even said that it was fragrant, and Wei Yining brought out a small bowl for her.

Wei Lanmei tasted it, and immediately looked at Wei Yining with two round eyes and said, "Real people don't show up, you actually have such good cooking skills!" I've never tasted such delicious mutton soup! ”

Wei Lanmei is greedy and will eat, and if she can get a word of praise, it can be seen that Wei Yining's cooking skills are good.

As soon as she said this, others couldn't help but taste it.

Wei Laner exclaimed: "Yining, why is the mutton soup you made so delicious?" It doesn't smell at all. ”

"I also learned from the Hehe people," Wei Yining said modestly, "Actually, it's still far away!" ”

Wei Lanmei hurriedly took her hand and said, "Since you are familiar with the Hehe people, you must also be able to barbecue meat?" You have to show your hand when you say anything today, or I won't let you go. ”

Wei Yining smiled at what she said, nodded and said, "Fourth sister admires her face, how dare I refuse!" ”
