One hundred and sixty-three: Lantern Festival
Fang Lina really can't wait, the girls of the two families have already been decided, just waiting for Su Ying'an to come back and see each other.
In fact, she is very worried about being a mother.
This son doesn't look like he's bored at home, if he gets married, he can take care of it, but if he gets married and has a wife and children, but he still wants to go out all day long, how can it be good?
Aunt Cheng has been here for a while, and Su Yunyao has never officially visited her, and she is going to see her with Su Moyao today.
There is a small courtyard dedicated to entertaining guests in the Cheng family's house, and the entrance is a huge and bright living room, which is equipped with an ear room tea room and a conservatory on both sides, and a side hall and a grass hall on the left. Separated by a white stone road and a flower gate, there are seven rooms and seven frames in the main courtyard, there are three ear rooms on both sides, three side rooms, and a large span has more than 20 rooms.
Su Yunyao and the others haven't been here for several years, usually their aunt and aunt live in Yangzhou, and they don't often come to Xunjing, even if they come, they don't like to live in this house.
Because there were not many people in the house, a few servants used to be in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, and if the lord came back and had to clean it thoroughly, he would leave without waiting for a few days.
But this time Cheng Tao's family affairs have been decided, this is to prepare for the marriage and to prepare the congratulatory list, there are still many things that need to be discussed and confirmed with the Sheng family, it is not worth going back and forth from Yangzhou to Beijing for a while, it is better to live here temporarily, and wait for the family affairs to be completed before leaving.
Naturally, this is also the wedding room of the newlyweds, so they won't rush back to Yangzhou on the day of marriage, right?
Qin Manliu instructed the two maids to bring in the two girls, and as soon as they entered the door, they surrounded all kinds of looks.
After Su Qianyao died, she was worried about what would hurt her after giving birth to two girls.
"Last time I heard that you were almost killed, it really scared me, is it okay to stand on your body?"
"Auntie, don't worry!" Su Yunyao stood up and spun around twice, "Look, I'm not good, I'm alive!" ”
"You, you! Your mother told me, you have the right idea, she can't control you, next time if you do this again, I have to be angry with you, don't take your own safety seriously, how can I avenge Qianyao? ”
"Yes, yes, Yun'er knows that she is wrong, Yun'er has a long memory, thank you aunt for your concern!" Su Yunyao said with a smile.
Qin Manliu scratched her nose, turned her head and said to Su Moyao, "I heard that you came here today, I specially ordered to make some delicious cakes and fruits, do you have anything else you want to eat?" ”
"Yes!" As soon as Su Moyao heard about the food, she didn't mention that she was more energetic, "Auntie's bean paste cheese here is delicious, as well as braised eel segments and steamed lion's head." ”
Su Yunyao asked for another dish of cold cucumber shreds and truffle angelica fish soup.
Cheng Huaiyuan and Cheng Tao had just come out of the palace at this time, and they happened to meet a few of them eating.
"I heard Brother Lu say that he caught more than a dozen snakeheads for interrogation, but what he asked was not ideal." Cheng Tao said.
Before Su Yunyao could say anything, Qin Manliu blew up, "Eat well, what are you talking about!" Yun'er, you eat so well, let's not worry about that, obedient. ”
She didn't want Su Yunyao to be involved in this kind of thing, a girl's family was not safe, and it was her idea to be rescued several times, if something really happened, it would be too late to regret it.
Cheng Huaiyuan coughed sullenly and poured a little wine, "But I heard that someone in the court wrote a book, saying that it is necessary to completely clean the snake heads on the outer mountains, and it is not difficult to find out who killed Qian Yao by touching them one by one." ”
"Hey, you father and son are working against me, aren't you?" Qin Manliu said a little angrily.
The father and son of the Cheng family glanced at each other, and no one dared to mention this matter again.
couldn't help but make Su Yunyao and Su Moyao feel a little funny.
Qin Manliu and Qin Manhuai are two sisters, one is like Su Moyao, and the other is like Su Qianyao.
After staying at Cheng's house until almost the afternoon, the two sisters went shopping on the street again and bought some small items for several brothers and sisters.
There is a shop selling ingots crisp outside the stall, the taste is particularly authentic, Kang Jinglan likes to eat, but the identity of the concubine is inconvenient to go out often, but every time she goes out, she will buy this to eat.
Su Yunyao remembered, so she brought her an ingots crisp.
Su Yingchen, who failed on the list, was studying hard for a while, and Su Yunyao heard that his ink ingots were a little insufficient, so she bought two for him.
Su Jinyao brought a lotus root honey cake, and Su Wanyao brought a fine hairpin that was not expensive, Su Moyao remembered that the sixth brother Su Yingkuan liked the tea in a tea shop, so he bought a pot for Su Yingkuan.
I've heard of bringing food and use, Su Yunyao has never heard of tea can also be brought, sitting in the carriage, she looked at the tea, and felt a cold sweat on her forehead.
"Tenth sister, this tea shop is not close to our house, won't it be cold when you get home?"
So how did Su Yingkuan drink it?
Who knows, Su Moyao said indifferently: "Aren't the people who can drink tea pay attention to what they do?" Go back and let the sixth brother cook it again, and the taste of cooking should be about the same. ”
Su Yunyao was really a little speechless.
Although she doesn't know much about drinking tea, the fifth sister Su Qianyao is proficient in tea art, and she has heard and seen it since she was a child, and she knows a little.
Those who pay attention to three rolls and six rolls, are all good tea cooked in good water, until a few rolls are counted, the tea leaves in the tea shop are not precious, that is, their farmers grow their own tea and pick their own tea, how delicious can it be? I've already cooked it once, and if I wait until it's completely cool before I cook it, the taste will definitely be greatly reduced.
However, looking at the serious look of her tenth sister, Su Yunyao couldn't bear to say this to her.
Of course, Su Yingkuan is a smart person, and he didn't say anything about it, thinking that he wouldn't make his kind-hearted sister unhappy.
The Mid-Autumn Festival lantern festival in late autumn is particularly lively, last year the Su family spent it at their own home, and this year I want to let a few children go out to be lively.
The main reason is that Li Xi died at home last year in order to protect Liu He, Su Yao and Qin Manhuai were afraid that Su Yunyao would feel uncomfortable, so they made the decision to let her go out to play and walk away, and they were worried about her safety, so they sent a lot of family servants to follow her.
There are no more lanterns in the lantern festival, and after Su Yunyao gave Li Xi incense, she went out with a few brothers and sisters to buy a few lanterns.
She bought a lotus lantern, Su Moyao bought a bull's head, Su Jinyao bought an ingot-shaped one, and Su Wanyao picked a rabbit head.
Su Yingkuan is also a big guy, he doesn't like this very much, so he is empty-handed, in fact, he is not empty-handed, he also took a bag of pastries.
And Su Yingchen followed several younger sisters closely, worried that they were not safe, so he didn't buy lanterns.
Su Yingxiao and Su Huiyao are still grounded.
The street is very lively, the chess game is the fan of the pot, along the street on both sides of the street are all occupied by shops, there are those who win silk and some win hairpin silver, many men and women participate in it, applause and applause resounded on the street.
Su Moyao pulled Su Wanyao and squeezed into a shop of fighting grasshoppers, there are really not many grasshoppers at this time, many of them are dead, and the few they are looking for now are not too energetic.
Seeing that these few had no desire to fight each other, Su Moyao pulled Su Wanyao out again.
Su Yunyao saw that the masks sold in a shop were exquisite and interesting, so she and Su Jinyao went to pick and choose, she bought a pig mask, and Su Jinyao bought a plum blossom on a white background.
There were a lot of people here, and several people from the Su family followed closely, for fear of being scattered.
Bai Chuheng and Bai Chusui were bored and tired because they were looking for the medical saint that few people had seen for a while, and they finally met a festival day, thinking that they could relax.
In a shop, he won the first place by archery, Bai Chuheng won two catties of fried rose melon seeds, and ate melon seeds as he walked.
"I heard that Su Shiyi also came out today, why don't you go look for it?" Bai Chusui looked at his brother with a wicked smile.
Bai Chuheng waved his hand, "That's what the disciple did, if you meet it, you have a fate, and if you can't meet it, you can't take the initiative to find it, and if you don't meet it, you will ruin the reputation of other girls." ”
Probably because of fate, Su Yunyao saw Bai Chuheng at this turn, because she was wearing the mask of a piglet, so Bai Chuheng didn't recognize her, and didn't even look at her.
This time, Su Yunyao's face turned red, and she wanted to get out of here quickly, but her legs and feet were a little unable to move, and her eyes hooked her heart to take a look at his injuries.
The gauze on his arm had been removed, and he couldn't see anything in his moon-white robe.
Under the moonlight, his eyebrows and eyes are like swords, he is handsome, and he has his own demeanor between his gestures, and he doesn't know how many girls' eyes will be hooked by this glance and smile.
Just looked at it and was fascinated, even Su Yunyao didn't know that she had been stunned and didn't leave, Su Jinyao also saw Bai Chuheng, and hurriedly pulled her, "Aren't those the two sons of the Bai family?" ”
Su Yunyao relieved herself, Bai Chuheng had already walked in front of her, she hurriedly wanted to retreat, but she hit him impartially.
The cloth bag containing the rose melon seeds almost fell to the ground, Bai Chuheng muttered in his mouth that he was glad that the melon seeds did not fall, and saw a familiar person on one side of his face.
"Su Eleven!" He pointed at her and said with some excitement.
Su Yunyao's shy expression was unobstructed, fortunately there was a mask to cover it, otherwise I was afraid that it would all be seen by Bai Chuheng.
"Your injury... How's it going? ”
Bai Chuheng shook his arm, "Look, okay, the injuries I suffered in the battlefield before were much more serious than this, if you don't mention it, I forgot about this injury, it's already good, don't worry." ”
Su Yunyao nodded, not daring to look directly at Bai Chuheng's face.
Or Bai Chusui on the side came over to relieve the siege, "Otherwise, let's find a place to sit?" ”
There is goat milk tea in the teahouse tonight, which is usually not sold, Bai Chusui just wanted to drink it, so he took a few people over.
Su Yingkuan and Su Yingchen originally wanted to follow, but they were relieved to see that the eleventh sister and the ninth sister were next to the two sons of the Dingguo Mansion.
Especially, in this case, Su Moyao is even more of a headache, they have to look at this sister.
