Text Chapter 78: The Fifth Master
The time to enter the mansion is still short, and most of the people who usually go to Zirui Yuan with Yi'er to Dingxing Province are green fu, so the person who came over, Lan Qiao, didn't know who it was, this person was just in his early twenties, and his clothes were gorgeous, Lan Qiao didn't dare to slack off, and stepped forward to salute respectfully, and said, "The slave and maid give the master a greeting." ”
The man stared at Lan Qiao in a daze, a trace of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Are you the maid next to Kite?" What is your name? ”
"The slave is called Blue Buckwheat."
"Blue buckwheat? The name is elegant. Do you know who he is? ”
Lan Qiao shook her head honestly and said, "The time for the slave maid to enter the mansion is still short, and I haven't seen the master, so I ......"
The man suddenly reached out and touched Lan Qiao's face, and said with a smile: "The master is the fifth master of the Hou Mansion, you have to remember it in the future." ”
Lan Qiao was taken aback, and then her face turned red, and she took a few steps back, and then said angrily: "What are you doing?" Although the slave is just a subordinate, please respect yourself. ”
"Self-respect?" Du Ziping smiled and said, "The master is not self-respecting, and it is not your turn to talk about it." The face is so good, it's a pity to be a little girl by the side of the kite, the master asks you, the master asked your young lady to ask you to come, are you willing? ”
Lan Qiao bit her lips tightly, her hands clutched the corners of her clothes, trembling all over, she only felt that she had suffered a great shame, and the other party was the master of the house, she couldn't have a seizure, tears appeared in her eyes, and she didn't answer.
When Du Ziping saw Lan Qiao's appearance, he only thought she was shy, so he said: "Don't worry, as long as you follow the master, the master will not treat you badly, and after opening his face, the master will naturally find an opportunity to give you an identity." At the end of the sentence, he reached out and touched Lan Qiao's face.
Lan Qiao hurriedly retreated, avoiding Du Ziping's hand, and turned around to run away, but saw that Yi'er had already pulled Du Yu over.
Yi'er saw Du Ziping earlier, but she fixed the swing, and it took a while to untie Du Yu from it, so she stepped forward.
She didn't listen to the conversation between Du Ziping and Lan Qiao completely, but looking at this situation, where was there anything she didn't understand, she blocked Lan Qiao behind her at the moment, and took Du Yu to Du Ziping to bless her body slightly, and called: "Fifth uncle." ”
Du Ziping laughed and said, "Iris, are you taking your younger brother to play?" ”
Yi'er said: "My brother was naughty, he couldn't be quiet in the yard, and he quarreled with his mother's lunch break, so Kite took him out for a walk." The fifth uncle will come over now, I don't know what is the matter? ”
Du Ziping said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just going for a walk." As he spoke, he glanced at the blue buckwheat behind Yi'er again, and said, "By the way, this girl, I'm looking at the right eye, I don't know ......."
Yi'er didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "Blue buckwheat is the most powerful use around the kite, and I hope she can do more for the kite in the future." Kite thought, now that the fifth aunt is pregnant, she didn't take care of the fifth uncle, so that there are fewer intimate people around the fifth uncle, that is also a forgivable thing, or Kite will find an opportunity to say to the fifth aunt, if the fifth aunt agrees, the kite can do this for this work, find a few clever girls for the fifth uncle, and wait next to the fifth uncle. ”
Du Ziping was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, he was directly rejected by Yi'er, and moved out of the He family to press him, and his heart was full of fire, and he said coldly: "Iris'er is reluctant to forget it, but today you have saved people, but you have to keep a close eye on people all the time, so as not to lose sight of people one day, and then you blame the fifth uncle for not reminding you in advance." ”
Du Ziping left after saying cruel words, to the point that Yi'er and Lan Qiao were shocked, Lan Qiao was really frightened, Yi'er knew that her fifth uncle was ridiculous, but she didn't expect him to be a scoundrel to this point, not only openly begging for his niece, but also cheeky and threatening after being rejected.
Yi'er saw that Lan Qiao was frightened, so she patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, no matter how bad your young lady is, the people around you can always protect her, no matter what, I won't let you do what you don't want to do." ”
Lan Qiao nodded and said, "The slave knows." ”
Although Yi'er said calmly, in the end, he was still afraid that Du Ziping would do something dirty behind his back, which would cause some irreparable tragedy, so he always kept Lan Qiao by his side in the future.
Originally, according to the meaning of the old lady Lin, the long house returned to Beijing, and the Hou Mansion had to invite some familiar Tongjia to come to the door to be lively, Wei also really prepared for this matter, who knew that the invitation had not been sent out, but the news that the queen mother was seriously ill in the palace, the emperor because of this matter, had no intention of government, and even the early dynasty was exempted, and for a time Kyoto noblewomen burned incense to worship in famous temples such as the White Horse Temple, and prayed for the queen mother.
At this juncture, the Hou Mansion naturally could no longer hold a banquet to celebrate, and this matter was put on hold.
In fact, whether it is Du Ziwu and his wife or Yi'er, they are not keen on this, the old lady wants to be lively, naturally it is up to her, and now she can't do it, and she doesn't think anything, but the old lady is herself, obviously a little disappointed. In the evening, when Yi'er went to Zirui Courtyard with the Li family to ask for peace, the old lady's face was a little unhappy.
When it was time for dinner, several daughters-in-law and grandchildren's young ladies automatically stayed in order to make the old lady happy, and the old lady was happy and lively, and when she saw a room full of people, there was indeed a little smile on her face.
The third lady Zhong said with a smile: "The old lady likes to be lively, so she will leave her daughters-in-law to eat in Zirui Courtyard in the future." ”
The old lady Lin glanced at Zhong, and scolded with a smile: "You are all rice buckets, and you want to eat here with me, but in a few days, my delicious food will be eaten by you." ”
Everyone laughed, and Zhong was not annoyed, and said: "Alas, the daughter-in-law is so careful, and she was seen through by the old lady at once, it seems that she will not have a chance to eat in the future, and she will have to eat enough tonight." ”
Zhong's expression on his face was extremely exaggerated, and he really wanted to be a gluttonous cat, which made Lin laugh, looked around, and said with some surprise: "Where is the kite?" Why haven't you seen her for a while? ”
Mama Shan said with a smile: "I know that the old lady will ask, and the third lady also told the old slave to hide it from the old lady!" ”
Lin was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”
Mama Shan looked up and saw that Yi'er had already walked over with the maid, so she said, "Old lady, isn't the third lady here?" ”
Yi'er took a few steps, stepped over, and called her grandmother.
Lin beckoned again and again, called Yi'er over, grabbed her hand, and saw that there were sweat stains on her forehead and oil stains on her clothes, so he couldn't help frowning: "Where did you go again?" How to make it look like a big cat! ”
Yi'er grinned and didn't answer.
Lin nodded at the tip of Yi'er's small nose and said, "All of them are mysterious, but what weirdness is waiting for grandmother?" ”
At this time, the maid had already brought the tray up one after another, and several ladies such as the Li family and the Wei family were busy stepping forward to put the dishes on the plate, and Yi'er said: "Iris, I heard Sister Chunzhi say that my grandmother ate little breakfast and lunch, and now it's time to eat. ”
Lin laughed and said, "You don't know how to eat more, you're as thin as a dry monkey, and you're here to take care of your grandmother." ”
After Yi'er helped Lin to sit at the table, Lin said to a few daughters-in-law: "There is another table over there, a few of you go over and sit and eat, I don't need you to make rules here, just leave a few good granddaughters here to accompany me." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the dishes on the table and couldn't help but sigh.
The small kitchen of Zirui Courtyard has always been led by Mama Shan, and the Lin family is naturally very familiar with Mama Shan's craftsmanship.
Looking at the dishes on the table, not to mention the aroma, what is even more rare is that each of them is made extremely festive, unique and kitty, so that people can feel their index fingers move and their mouths open at a glance.
Seeing that Lin was stunned, Mama Shan smiled and said, "The old lady has a good fortune today, these are all made by the third lady herself in the kitchen, and she has been busy for a long time." ”
Lin was quite surprised, glanced at Yi'er, and said, "Grandmother really didn't expect that my kite still has this craft." ”
Yi'er took a spoon and scooped a spoonful from a pot of red and green, flowery fish soup and put it into Lin's bowl, and said with a smile: "When I was in Beikai, there was a cook from Jiangnan at home, and Kite was a monk halfway, so I learned a fur from her. Grandmother, don't be busy boasting, if you find that these things can't be swallowed later, you don't know how to bury the kite in your heart? ”
Lin laughed, took Yi'er's hand, let her sit beside her, and then ordered everyone to sit, then picked up the spoon and ate a bite of the fish soup that Yi'er laid for her. ”
