Chapter 024: Liu Rumei (4)
Why do you want her to make fairy grass shells?
She didn't even know what it was.
"Master Liu, slave maid...... No, it doesn't. Autumn Pattern shook her head like a rattle.
Liu Jianran saw that her face was crimson, which added a little cuteness, and her smile deepened. "Autumn Pattern, I said you can do it, you can do it. In three days, you will be able to make my favorite fairy grass shellfish! ”
Let's go, haha.
Autumn Pattern is even more panicked. What did Liu Ye do?
She wanted to chase after her and ask, but she didn't dare.
Jin glanced at the dustpan in Qiu Wen's hand and said, "Your body is not good, don't be too pretentious." My words are on deaf ears? ”
"It's not."
"Or not? My godson, why do you look like you know you well? Kim's eyes were filled with speculation.
"No, no, no." Autumn pattern doesn't know how to say it.
"No, I'll know."
Kim has just come to the kitchenette. This girl has been wronged and injured. There is no evidence of red mouth and white teeth, she can't get along with a girl.
Autumn pattern back to Tongpu, thinking about it, always feel troubled.
Fairy grass shells? Can you eat or drink?
Saying that, Liu Jianran also had a lot of tongues, and when he went to Ximo's study, he told him with a smile: "We have a good mouth." ”
Ximo is playing chess, holding black in his left hand and white in his right hand.
Liu Jianran had to say it a second time.
Xi Mofang stopped his chess and said, "I'm not uncommon to you. ”
Jian Ran smiled: "Do you remember the fairy grass shell?" Cool and creamy. That time we were ambushed in Wanjia Village, the weather was very hot, and we ate that cold thing a few times, which was the fairy grass shell. You've been back since then, and you've never forgotten it? ”
When Ximo heard this, he asked, "That thing doesn't do in the house." Hugh is going to embarrass his subordinates. There is no fairy grass shell, drink some bitter tea, the same relief. ”
The sword dye haha. "Now I'm doing it. I will ask you again in the afternoon, and it will be the day after tomorrow. ”
Seeing that he said strangely, Ximo had to ask, "Who did you find?" ”
"Autumn pattern."
Ximo frowned: "She's still recuperating from her injuries, how can you send her again?" If you want to eat, just ride a horse to Wanjia Village and buy it! ”
"Make some fairy grass jelly, it's out of the way. Exercising your hands and feet is better than eating and sleeping all day! "Jian Ran doesn't listen to Ximo." In a few days, it will be Tanabata. I heard that Tanabata is also the old lady's birthday. At this time, everyone in your family is secretly competing to please the old lady. This year, you don't have to think about it. ”
"What do you mean?"
"This year's gift is a bowl of fairy grass shellfish! The old lady has never eaten that wild meaning, she is used to the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and she tastes this freshness, and she still wants to drink it after keeping it. ”
There is a good thing in Shifu. Or rather, the old lady has a good one.
She knows very well that each house and courtyard live their own lives, and young people have a problem of sleeping lazy. That's why I don't let my grandchildren come over every morning to say goodbye.
Ximo is the eldest grandson. He was coming, and Liu Jianran had to come with him.
It's drudgery.
The old lady woke up early. As soon as it was dawn, I got up to freshen up and eat.
Qilan and a group of maids also got up early.
Ximo and Kenran only slept late at night every day, and the next day they inevitably delayed their wake-up time. This is to say hello early every day, and Ximo is okay, but it is a drudgery to dye with the sword.
He was a guest, and the old lady often asked about him, and she couldn't help but come.
In this way, I am exempted from greeting every day, and I am willing to dye with the sword. The year before last, the old lady allocated another sum of money to ask him to repair the ancestral grave of the Liu family. The sword dye is grateful, so I want to send something to show my heart.
What's the good thing to deliver? The old lady lacked nothing.
It's a hot summer. It's the bowl of cool fairy grass shellfish that is refreshing. He asked the mother-in-law who sold fairy grass shells how to boil this tender jelly. The method is remembered, and it is not a hassle. Helplessly, Jian Dye is not familiar with cooking, and he still needs to find someone to do. He dictates the prescription, and others act.
Somehow I thought of autumn patterns.
If Autumn Pattern doesn't pass by, Jian Ran will still look for her.
"You can do favors, just don't work others." Ximo shook his head and disagreed.
"Don't get in your way. I sent Autumn Pattern, and I rewarded her with silver. ”
"Listening to you, it seems that your Liu family has a lot of silver?"
The brook is narrow.
Jian Ran smiled embarrassedly: "There are still a few taels." To be honest, it's a pity if that girl in Autumn Pattern is still a fire girl. You are the master, why don't you transfer her out of the stove room and go to the big stove to cut a green onion and steam a bun or something...... It's also better than being disgraced all day. ”
In his words, he was clearly full of pity for the autumn pattern.
Ximo paused.
The little girl Qing'er ran over: "Uncle, Mr. Li has something to ask you for." ”
Sword Dye is strange: "Is there something you don't want to come in and say?" ”
Qing'er scratched her scalp and explained: "Big Brother Li said that the last trial of the small kitchen, I wronged the good people, and I didn't find the bad people, so I was really embarrassed to come in." He knows that he has made a mistake, and he has been waiting for you to deal with it, uncle. I didn't expect the uncle to have a large number of them, so I won't be held accountable, so I'm even more embarrassed. ”
Jian Ran said again: "What does Manager Li want to say about such grinding and chirping?" ”
Qing'er continued: "Big Brother Li came back from the Plum Blossom Nunnery and said that the actor who committed suicide by hitting his head in the past is now recuperating outside, what is the arrangement?" ”
Jian Ran was surprised: "That little drama was bought by the second master Shi Yuquan, what does it have to do with Caolu?" ”
Ximo called Qing'er: "Just let Manager Li come in and talk." ”
"Yes!"
Qing'er slipped away.
Li Xiangui tried the wrong person. Reasoning is to be punished. But Ximo also blamed himself. One is that Li Xiangui was appointed by himself; Second, he also suspected autumn patterns at the beginning.
Ximo is a caring person. After a few more days of cold observation, be sure to pull her away from the stove.
Li Xiangui came unexpectedly.
Ximo got straight to the point: "You don't have to say anything else. I only ask you, why didn't you go to the second master for this matter, why did you look for me? ”
Li Xiangui's face was distressed.
"Uncle, that little drama is named Ying'er. The old slave also offered her good food and drink. When she was in good health, the old slave wanted to send her to the second master and continue singing. But she wants to die or live! said that the old slave wanted to force her again, and she had to hit the wall! The old slave asked her, what do you want to do if you don't sing? She said that her life was saved by you, uncle, and now she should come to repay you, uncle, make you a cow and a horse, and be your maid uncle! ”
Li Xiangui is in the Plum Blossom Nunnery, hiding an outer room, called Jin Niang.
This Jin Niang has also sung and followed the troupe to the north and south. On that day, I heard that there was a drama that could not be sold, so I hit the wall and died. Jin Niang took pity on her and went to see Ying'er. Li Xiangui didn't want to peddle in this matter, but it was Jinniang who sympathized with Ying'er and asked him to ask Uncle Shifu.
The maid and the actor belong to the same ninth rate. But the drama is the end of the ninth rate and has the lowest status.
Ying'er would rather be a maid than a servant, Li Xiangui also had a little admiration, because he took this matter down.
Liu Jianran laughed.
Li Xiangui frowned even more: "Uncle, the old slave also asked the second master." The second master said that even if the forehead of the little drama was broken, he couldn't keep his brain bad, and he didn't want to be a girl with many peugeot pieces. If you don't accept it, uncle, then the drama should be sold by the godmother again. If you sell it into a brothel in Goolan , it will only be worse than being a play. Hey......"
Li Xiangui sighed repeatedly.
"Sell and sell. Are you a charity church? ”
Liu Jianran was displeased with Li Xiangui's tone. He spoke outside of his words, clearly helping the little play.
"Uncle, the old slave is just waiting for your words......"
This is indeed a difficult problem.
Ximo has a way.
"I don't need anyone to serve here. Since she has backbone, then I will give her freedom. Tell me, how much money it cost to buy her? ”
Li Xiangui didn't expect the uncle to ask like this, and said sullenly: "Eighty taels." ”
"Good. It's all on my account. ”
The cottage has a separate accounting room. An old servant brought by Madame Yu from her mother's house was in charge of the accounts. Mrs. Yu's land rent outside is also registered and filled in by this old servant.
Li Xiangui couldn't, nodded and retreated.
Li Xiangui walked forward, and Liu Jianran also left.
Behind the kitchen, there is a jagged rockery. Around the rockery, it is covered with tall bauhinia trees and willow trees. Jian Ran just wanted to take advantage of the unpreparedness and bring the autumn pattern into the willow bush to speak.
It's quiet at noon.
Autumn Pattern sews old clothes in the ear room. Mother Jin gave each person two pears, and the two maids who stayed with her went out to eat pears coolly.
A few crickets.
Jian Ran had already run out of the window, beckoning to her, and whispered: "Autumn pattern, autumn pattern......"
