Chapter 66: Quill
"Hmph." Yi Jiaren doesn't care if he has a strong mouth, as long as he goes down and plucks the goose feathers.
After waiting for a long time, I only heard the big white goose under the bridge "quack" and screamed, and then the sound of paddling water and fluttering wings, and from time to time there was also Xiao Yuwen's "ahh
I don't know if he succeeded.
The cold wind was blowing, and Yi Jiaren stood on the bridge with a lantern and shivered, "Eh, why are you plucking goose feathers for so long?" ”
"You think it's so easy to pull, why don't you come down and try it." Xiao Yuwen was a little impatient.
"I'll forget it, you pull it slowly, don't rush."
After a long while of cold wind, Xiao Yuwen climbed up from the darkness under the bridge, carrying two geese in his hands, and he broke his neck.
The two geese poked him several times, and before dinner, they were just brought back for wine.
Yi Jiaren didn't expect him to screw the goose to death, she really just wanted to pluck some goose feathers, "Eh, why are you screwing the goose to death?" These two geese are half a penny. ”
"Aren't you going to ask me to eat meat, I won't screw it to death where the meat comes from."
Xiao Yuwen is conscious and knows self-sufficiency.
However, Yi Jiaren really planned to pluck the goose feathers and invite him to eat the goose and duck, which seemed to be saved.
"Huh. Put your shoes on and we'll go back, it's cold here, don't make you frostbite again." ”
"You have a bit of a conscience."
Xiao Yuwen's lower body and half of his robe were almost soaked, he twisted the water before sitting on the ground and putting on his shoes and socks. ”
Well... This one...
Yi Jiaren hurriedly agreed: "No, we just wanted to pluck a few goose feathers, and we accidentally started a little heavier." ”
The people over there got closer and closer, and when they saw two geese on the ground, they roared, "They said they didn't steal it, what is this?" ”
Xiao Yuwen hurriedly got up from the ground, "This is what we bought." ”
As he spoke, he took out a tael of silver from his purse and threw it to them, carrying two geese and pulling Yi Jiaren to run.
Yi Jia felt sorry for the one or two silver, "Eh, why are you so generous, those two geese are worth one or two silver?" ”
"Nothing broken." Xiao Yuwen agreed, but seeing that those people didn't catch up, he walked a little slower.
"Hmph." Yi Jiaren shook off his hand, "You casually gave Luo'er a tael, and just now gave someone another tael, why don't you give me so much spare money, my translation hall is still waiting to open." ”
The more Yi Jiaren talked, the more angry she became, and she simply stood still and didn't leave, "You still want me to raise you, you're so embarrassed." ”
"Ugh." Xiao Yuwen sighed, carrying two geese, his clothes were still wet, and he was so cold that he panicked, "My aunt, didn't you see that everyone treated us as thieves just now, didn't give money to him to eliminate the disaster, waiting to be sent to the government?" ”
Seeing that she was still standing and not leaving, Xiao Yuwen stepped forward and jumped into the air with her, and flew all the way home.
When he landed at the door, Yi Jiaren still held on to him.
"Lady, we're home." Xiao Yuwen rubbed her frightened pale face, seeing that her eyes were still closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but blow on her face.
He brushed his teeth with willow branches every day, rinsed his mouth with tea, and chewed five-spice pills, Tulan musk deer, not afraid of smoking her down.
Yi Jiaren suddenly felt a gust of breeze blowing on her face, slowly opened her eyes, and found that she had arrived in front of the gate of Jingyue Xuan Courtyard, she let go of her hand and beat Xiao Yuwen, "I'm scared to death, I don't even say hello." ”
Saying that, he ran into the yard, and Xiao Yuwen followed in with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
When the mother-in-law saw that they had returned, they carried two geese and hurried over to continue.
"Steam one, stew one, and bring it to the room."
Xiao Yuwen went into the house and called two more servants to carry water into the bath.
Yi Jiaren waited to pluck goose feathers and ran to the kitchen to help the mother-in-law.
After a while, the water boiled, plucked the coarse goose feathers on the wings and cleaned them, soaked them in hot water to soften, removed the lipids on the hair stems, and cleaned them again, before taking them out to dry, looking a little like a quill pen.
After working for half an hour, the mother-in-law's goose was ready, Xiao Yuwen was also bathed, and the room was full of misty.
Yi Jiaren sat at the table and waited for her mother-in-law to serve the food, and caught a glimpse of the flower petals floating in the bathtub carried out by the little maids.
Xiao Yuwen is so particular about taking a bath?
Sure enough, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the son of a big family still lives so exquisitely no matter how poor he is, and he can send someone a silver tael at will.
Smell yourself again, it's all a smell of soap.
Alas, what a shame on oneself!
Xiao Yuwen came over after getting dressed on the side of the enclosure, and saw that Yi Jiaren was already eating, so he also sat down at the table and ate, "Lady, why don't you wait for your husband to eat together, and said that you want to invite me to eat, but now you don't want to wait?" ”
Yi Jiaren didn't answer him, she was thinking about the question.
"Eh, I see that you live a very luxurious life, where did you get the money to maintain these expenses?"
"It's all arranged by the housekeeper before, and it can't be returned if it's not used up." Xiao Yuwen poured himself a glass of wine while eating, and then held the pot and smiled at Yi Jiaren: "Lady, do you want to have a cup of warmth too." ”
"Don't." Yi Jiaren refused, wanting to get himself drunk, no way!
She stood up and broke two goose legs, and let the mother-in-law take out the rest to eat, the two little girls have really lost weight in the past few days, and the teenage child is growing up, but he can't be hungry.
Xiao Yuwen saw that she had brought most of it to her mother-in-law, and she didn't say anything, anyway, she couldn't eat two of them.
"How many taels of silver do you have on you?" Yi Jiaren asked, his father-in-law's family background had to be found out.
"Three or two."
"That's it?" Yi Jiaren was surprised, he was like this, and he still pretended to be a green onion.
She stood up and walked around the house, and saw that there were six "Luo Shen Tu" hanging on the wall, some of which were slightly yellowed, and the mullions made of fragrant sandalwood were used all around, and they were hung with gold threads, which seemed to be worth a lot of money.
Why not...
Yi Jiaren moved a stool to take down the painting, and after picking it for a long time, the portrait was like being welded to the wall, and he couldn't take it off.
Forget it, give up.
At a glance, she saw a white-glazed eight-sided vase on the flower stand by the window, which seemed to be able to sell for dozens of taels of silver, and she jumped off the stool to get this vase again, but this vase seemed to grow on the flower stand, and did not move at all.
Xiao Yuwen glanced at her, knowing what she wanted to do, "Don't waste your efforts, you can't take it." ”
"Why?"
Xiao Yuwen wanted to cry about this question.
The famous calligraphy and paintings hanging in his room, the enamel vases, and all kinds of ornaments were all inlaid into the wall by his mother with craftsmen, and he couldn't take them out at all, or he would have sold them out long ago.
Wu's own son is like a thief.
After Xiao Yuwen said these reasons, Yi Jiaren could only sigh at the painting.
"Then give me your three taels of silver."
Xiao Yuwen slapped the three taels of silver on the table, "Do you want this bit of silver for your husband?" ”
"Yes, why not." Yi Jiaren took the silver, went out and gave it to her mother-in-law, and explained: "Take these few taels of silver to buy some fish and meat, and go to the big kitchen early every day to get something." ”
She really wanted to add that if no one saw it, she would take some back, and it would not be stealing her own things.
