Eighty-six: Plum blossoms
"If you dare to beat my daughter, you have to see if she has that catty." Cao Qianlian's smile was deep, and the confidence in it was self-evident.
It was very cold in the morning to enjoy the plum, and Su Qianyao wore an extra jacket, which made her upper body a little fat, and her face was small and white. Su Moyao seemed to be completely unafraid of the cold wind, and she was happily thinking about what to play and what to eat at this moment, which could be said to break Zhao's mother's heart.
Su Yunyao has never had to worry about anyone, she wore a goose yellow embroidered white magnolia jacket, a butterfly fancy dress of the same color underneath, and the cloak was still the one she wore every day, nothing special.
But as soon as she met the other girls, it seemed that Su Yunyao was insincere.
Su Huiyao can be said to be dressed up to attend today, with a tight collar of a gold-orange embroidered peony jacket on her upper body, a purple and fragrant long skirt on her lower body, a cloak of small purple flowers on the beaded brocade face, a phoenix wearing a begonia on her head swaying, and her hair bun is fixed by a red and butterfly golden hairpin, it can be seen that she has worked hard for today's plum banquet.
Seeing that she had written all her thoughts on her face, Su Moyao pouted in displeasure, "The fox and the girl of pure learning, we don't know who this is to hook up with." ”
The group walked out of the house together, and Su Huiyao had a look of ambition, "What the tenth sister said is that you are good for our Su family, and those who don't know think that you are planning to go out and lose the Su family, and it is wrong to dress up?" Isn't this family the tenth sister in charge? Father didn't say anything, what kind of business are you in charge of? ”
Su Moyao was speechless for a while, and then said indignantly, "I'm different from you, you are bent on climbing high branches, and I don't know if the children of that aristocratic family can take a fancy to you, look at your worthless appearance!" ”
"You are a concubine, how can I compare with a concubine?" Su Huiyao pretended to be aggrieved, and said with a sneer, "It's just that your life is better, maybe how to be stained in private, I'm afraid that the eldest lady is heartbroken for your marriage, right?" Also, who can look up to someone of your temperament? ”
"Can I look at you?" Su Moyao wanted to argue with her angrily, but when she saw that she was in front of the carriage, she didn't say anything.
Su Wanyao must follow Su Qianyao, and Su Moyao is an anxious person, so let her and Su Huiyao in a carriage, I am afraid that they will fight.
So Su Yunyao, Su Huiyao and Su Jinyao sat in another carriage.
The West Mountain is not too far away, it is relatively close to go in summer, and the road is not easy to walk in winter, and the delay on the road is longer.
Su Huiyao looked at Su Yunyao, sneered, and looked at Su Jinyao again, only to think that she was very stupid, and her expression was not bright, and she couldn't compare with herself at all.
Not to mention how beautiful she is, but Su Huiyao knows that among the girls in the Su family, her appearance is also one of the best. A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, what is the use of learning so much? It's better to do your duty and hook a man's heart, this is the right way.
The officials of his own family guard his wife, and he can't talk about poetry and songs all day long, and the husband and wife can't be bookworms for a lifetime, so what are you doing with those things?
It's still my mother who is right, it's okay to embroider things, which can not only express myself, but also tie up my husband's heart.
Su Jinyao is stupid, she doesn't even deserve to lift shoes for herself, Su Yunyao is just a little bean, when she grows up, she will already be married, so she is not afraid. As long as she doesn't interfere with her own good deeds, then she will be a little softer, but if she insists on interfering, don't blame Su Huiyao for ignoring her sister's affection and making her unable to turn over!
Thinking back to reality, the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the girls had to walk halfway up the mountain, where the plum blossoms were blooming well.
Su Huiyao swallowed her saliva, a hundred reluctance in her heart, but when she thought of Sheng Changyu above, she walked up as if she had been beaten with chicken blood.
Because there was a lot of snow on the way up the mountain, the carriage could not go up, and a group of people who enjoyed the plum and snow at the bottom of the mountain complained again and again, and many families chose to return the same way.
In the white vast mountains, the top of the mountain seems to be covered with a circle of thick fog, I don't know whether it is drifting snow or what, faintly visible halfway up the mountainside a large ball of fiery red, think of the red plum blossoms there must be thrilling.
Su Moyao came to the spirit, and walked up step by step, but after walking for a while, her physical strength ran out, and she had to rely on the spring bamboo shoots and willow buds to 'carry' up.
Originally, she was in the lead, and now several other girls have surpassed her.
If Su Huiyao had taken a step to catch her breath and sighed after two steps, she was tired, but now that she has a good marriage in front of her, she is obviously not tired, and several other girls and maids are very surprised, what is wrong with these seven girls today? It's not normal at all.
After about half an hour, everyone saw a shed, although it was built in the middle of the mountain, it was not simple, and it was covered by thick curtains on all sides, and there was a earth dragon roasting in a charcoal basin, and there were delicious and delicious hot tea fruits, but it was very comfortable.
He Nianning had been waiting here for a long time, and when he heard the maid say that she had seen the girl of the Su family, she hurriedly stood up and walked out.
"Sister Yun Yao! Sister Mo Yao! Sister Qianyao! He Nianning trotted out, not at all like everyone's ladies, but she was really cute.
Su Huiyao pursed her lips, her eyes drifted behind her, but she didn't see Sheng Changyu's figure at all.
Not only that, but the two sons of the He family, He Muchen and He Muhuai, did not come.
"I've been waiting here for a long time!" He Nianning smiled and 'blamed' and said, "Come later, I'll have to go up the mountain by myself!" ”
"Miss Nianning." Su Huiyao came from behind, "You're alone today?" ”
He Nianning recognized her and was very disgusted with her, but he still squeezed out a smile in front of Su Yunyao and the others, "Where is me alone, I also brought a maid and a maid, girl, your eyes are not good?" ”
Immediately, Su Huiyao's face darkened, she worked hard to prepare, and finally went up the mountain, but she was told that her son-in-law didn't come?
So what's so tired today?
Su Huiyao turned her face angrily, her face could no longer pretend to be happy and calm, and her angry appearance made Su Moyao laugh alive.
"She still wants to climb high branches with her virtue, and she doesn't know how many catties she has!"
But it's already here, and it's not a matter of falling back now, right? Su Huiyao had no choice but to bite the bullet and lift the curtain into the shed.
A few people drank some hot tea in the shed to warm up, and then they were ready to continue walking.
The plum blossoms on the hill are dripping and falling some petals, the red ones are like fire, the white ones are like snow, the pink ones are very lovely, and the petals are swirling and flying up when the wind blows, which is very beautiful.
"It's a great place to enjoy plum blossoms!" Su Yunyao couldn't help but admire.
He Nianning took Su Yunyao's hand, "I came often in the past few years, but in the past two years, the plum blossoms have been relatively few, so I don't come often." ”
"I heard that the plum blossom banquet here is particularly famous, can Sister Nianning prepare?" Su Moyao only thought about eating and asked.
He Nianning laughed twice: "You just put your heart in your stomach, I asked you to come out to play, can you still be hungry?" The plum blossom banquet has been prepared for a long time, and I know that you are talking! ”
Su Huiyao sneered, thinking to herself whether Su Moyao remembered to eat or not, thinking about what to eat, drink, and play all day long, doing nothing, I don't know what to do!
Everyone walked up the mountain together, the mountain road was winding, and some places were covered by snow, and a few girls supported them, and the walk was not slow.
Su Huiyao unconsciously came to the end, helping Xiaohui and Xiaodie to pout, as if someone owed her money, and lost the momentum of the meteor at all.
"By the way, your eldest brother is going to get married, right?" Su Yunyao asked, "The Ningguo Mansion will come to my house for employment when the spring begins, and I don't know who will marry the fifth sister and your eldest brother first." ”
"I guess it's my brother." He Nianning whispered, "I have to combine the eight characters when I get hired, how can it not be too fast." ”
"That's right." Su Yunyao smiled evilly and looked at Su Qianyao behind her.
Su Qianyao obviously didn't hear what they were saying, otherwise her face would have turned red.
The plum blossom banquet is placed in the room, which is in stark contrast to the cold outside, and there will be no breath when talking in the house, and you will not feel cold hands and feet.
The master here brought a few plum blossoms, saying that the plum blossom petals were picked and pickled, and then the snow falling on the plum branches was removed and boiled, and the wine brewed had a sweet taste.
This wine is already from last year, and the more years it gets, the better it tastes, and this year's wine will be saved for next year.
Plum blossom crisp and plum blossom brand one is crispy and delicious, one is soft and glutinous, one is loved by Su Moyao, and the other is liked by Su Qianyao.
There are also pickles made with plum blossoms, which are rare and do not have a sweet taste, and are made with chili sauce and salt, which is different from other dishes.
The most popular dish is a dish called Snow Plum Egg Soup, a round bottom cup, in which a few eggs are scattered, and the plum blossoms and seasonings are put on the wall and the eggs and steamed out, the taste is unique and fresh.
"No wonder Sister Nianning would rather be tired than come, it turns out that the plum blossom banquet here is delicious!" Su Yunyao suddenly saw the trick: "If there is no plum blossom banquet, if you want to come, Sister Ning will not come back!" ”
He Nianning saw that he was lifted off, and scolded with a smile: "I can't stop your mouth when I eat!" If you know, I won't see you coming! ”
Su Huiyao put a spoonful of soup in the bowl, a little unsavory, and her eyes wandered back and forth on several girls.
What puzzled her was that the Sheng family didn't come! Not to mention the Sheng family, even the son of the He family didn't come, how could this be possible?
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she inserted a piece of plum blossom with her chopsticks and branded it on her plate, and the sound startled Su Moyao.
"Seventh sister, why are you so angry? Don't be distracted, let's get food here, right? ”
Where did Su Huiyao, who was already angry, listen to such sarcastic words? Immediately stood up, "Am I not feeling well?" ”
"It's not like I'm uncomfortable when I look at my sister like this." Su Moyao hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled: "If you don't feel comfortable, you can not come, it's not my sister, I asked you to beg your father to come with me." ”
