Chapter Ninety-Seven: I'm Not a Woman

"I'll go out with you to get it after I'm done in a while, it's not warm in this kitchen, I really have to put it on first. Tomorrow morning, if it still can't be penetrated, bring it to the house. Yue'er said that Song Ziqi didn't move his chopsticks much, so she urged: "You eat quickly, the food will be cold from you for a while." ”

Song Ziqi fished out a sour cabbage from the pickle jar, his hands were red, Yue'er washed it with warm water, he took it to Yue'er's house and said, "I chop dumpling filling, I'm good at this." ”

Yue'er put the meat in a basin of warm water and put it on the kang, dragged out a clay basin from the kang, and said while kneading the noodles: "I will fry this oil fruit first, freeze it in the warehouse, and come back with a plate of food." ”

"You're amazing, you can do anything. The dishes you cook are better than my mother's, this oil fruit, not to mention my family, my sister-in-law can fry it in our village. Song Ziqi sincerely admired, and Yue'er smiled and didn't speak.

Yue'er's cooking skills benefited from the fact that when she was in Guanzhong, the Lin family specially restricted her from eating. I'm afraid that I will gain weight and lose my body shape.

Therefore, the wind stove in her yard has a special role, and the three of them, Lan Xin and Hui Qian, often hide and secretly cook food. In this way, all three of them have practiced good cooking skills.

Hui Zhi is very caring, and when he eats outside, he always asks for recipes, and when he comes back, he follows the recipes and makes them together.

Not only that, sometimes Yue'er asked her to go out of the house to buy things, and she would go to the study to find recipes. Because she is often hungry, Yue'er likes to secretly read recipes.

The two of them were busy for half the night, and then they both packed up and went to sleep. Song Ziqi got up very early in the morning, and Yue'er didn't get up early in the morning, so he pasted the Spring Festival couplets. The yard was also swept clean, the tank was filled with water, and the firewood was ready.

When Yue'er got up, he came in with a basin: "I just boiled some porridge, and two steamed buns were heated on it, and I can have breakfast with pickles." ”

"For the Chinese New Year, I'll make some dumplings and let's eat them."

Song Ziqi went out to serve breakfast at this time, and said to Yue'er through the door: "You can't eat dumplings all day, just eat breakfast like this at my house, and people won't be too tired." ”

"It's okay, let's hurry up and finish eating the New Year's paintings." The New Year's painting was bought by Yue'er, but Song Ziqi didn't agree at first, saying that he wanted to write a few words and hang them in the house.

Yue'er felt that the New Year's pictures were still festive, so she bought several back. Even despite Song Ziqi's opposition, he bought a few hairpins. said that it was to be on the day of the New Year, and both of them put on hairpins.

In this dynasty, men also had the habit of hairpins, especially on the first day of the new year. At the Great Dynasty Meeting, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will hold flowers. Whether it is a white-bearded Wenchen who is dozens of years old, or a military general with a tiger's back and a strong waist, he will have a flower on his head.

What she bought for Song Ziqi was a peach blossom, and Yue'er bought a big peony flower for herself. Looking at that flower, she will think of Su Zhi stupidly buying a big bunch of peonies, giving her seven hairpins on her head, and holding her hand and walking happily on the street.

But she was so disgusted at that time, but now she no longer has the opportunity to be held by him and put flowers on the hairpin by him.

What is he doing at this time? must have accompanied his wives and concubines in the palace to have breakfast, and then he also gave them hairpins with his own hands, or a head full of flowers.

This is Yue'er's conjecture, and at this time, Su Zhi was eating breakfast alone, and Xiao Chuan'er was waiting beside him.

"Master, are you going to go to the back in a moment? Where is the New Year's Guard? Xiao Chuan'er saw that Su Zhi had finished eating, so he stepped forward and asked.

"The king was too impatient a while ago, so let's celebrate with the subordinate officials and guards today, and the New Year will be in the lobby, and a banquet will be held there."

"The procurator personally pleaded with Lanzhi, saying that her grandfather remembered his juniors when he was old, and wanted Lanzhi to live in Zhuangzi for a few days during the New Year."

Su Zhi snorted coldly: "Let Lord Feng bring him at the banquet on the first day of the new year, this king also intends to honor and honor this old man who remembers his juniors." ”

"Where is the master going?" Xiao Chuan'er saw Su Zhi walking out, so he caught up and asked.

"You don't have to follow, keep an eye on the backyard, let Greene also step up patrols, don't let that thief take advantage of the New Year's slack and take advantage of the loopholes."

Su Tong took advantage of the fact that the shop was not closed in the morning and went out for a walk.

In the silk flower shop, he bought a bunch of peony flowers, although Yue'er was angry that day, but he still felt that she was like a fairy with peony flowers on her head.

Just as he was about to pay the silver, he saw a scholar come over a little nervously and said, "Your Highness, can you let a peony with you?" The guy said that the peony was bought by His Royal Highness, and his beloved liked the peony alone, and he didn't want her to be disappointed. ”

Su Tong thought for a while and asked, "Your beloved, would you like the peony full of hairpins to walk through the long street with you?" ”

The scholar's eyes lit up and he said happily: "She said that she didn't like it before, but now she thinks that the peony must be extremely beautiful." ”

Su Zhi smiled, but the smile was a little bitter, and he gave all the flowers in his arms to the scholar. After all, it can make a loving couple rejoice, and his beloved doesn't know where he is.

He went to the sugar shop to buy candy, and then went to buy candied fruit, and when he returned, he instructed Xiao Chuan'er: "Let the kitchen make a bowl of steamed cheese with sugar, and a milk roll, and remember to put more honey red beans on the cheese." ”

Xiao Chuan'er went to the kitchen, and Su Zhi went to the plum garden in the house, broke a few red plums and came back, and personally inserted them into the plum bottle.

I broke another branch and put it on my desk. That's the one with the hairpin, the one who doesn't know where he is now.

Song Ziqi pushed open the courtyard door and shouted happily: "Chenxing, Chenxing, guess who gave me flowers?" ”

He ran all the way to the house and asked, Yue'er looked at the hug of peonies and shook her head: "I don't know too many people, how do you know who will send you flowers." ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan, I was going to buy a branch from him, but he asked me a word, and gave me all these flowers."

Yue'er's body stiffened, and she wanted to laugh, but she pulled her lips but couldn't laugh. I heard Song Ziqi say proudly: "Your Highness asked me, your beloved, would you like the peony full of hairpins to walk through the long street with you?" I said that she didn't like it before, but now she thinks that the hairpin full of peonies on her head must be extremely beautiful. Then His Highness gave me all the flowers he had just bought, and I wanted to pay the money, but he didn't want it. I also chased and asked, these are all given to me, how is it good that His Highness does not have flowers to send to his beloved. His Royal Highness said that he had a red plum in his house that his beloved liked very much, and he was going back to fold the red plum. ”

Yue'er took the flowers and put them on her head one by one in the mirror, a full seven. The rest of her was held in her arms and sat in front of the mirror in a daze.

Song Ziqi stood not far behind him and looked at her, feeling that the person in front of him at this moment was a woman, a woman who was unique in the world. She was so charming, and so melancholy, her eyes really seemed to be full of stars. A small face is so delicate and innocent against the backdrop of peony flowers.

He muttered, "Chenxing, if you are a woman, I will marry you." ”

"Don't be stupid, I'm not a woman." Yue'er picked off the hairpin flowers one by one and put them away like a baby.
