Eleven: Watermelon

"Oops!" Su Huiyao's whole body pounced on He Muhuai's body, provoking him to close his eyes suddenly, and he was frightened and didn't dare to move.

"Someone!"

Su Huiyao never thought that he couldn't help but hook people so much, but he called people directly, isn't that a bad scenery? Not enough of your charm? That's impossible.

Two maids, one on the left and one on the right, came over and asked, "Brother Huai'er, what's wrong?" ”

"The seventh girl twisted her ankle, you take her down to rest." As he spoke, He Muhuai let go of his hand and specially instructed, "Look at the seventh girl, this is a distinguished guest invited by my mother, don't slack off." ”

The word 'look' was bitten very hard by him, not to mention the two maids, even Su Huiyao herself heard the meaning.

But can she say that her ankle doesn't hurt at this time? No way! I had to pretend to go down hard, and followed the two maids back to the pavilion.

In the pavilion, Qin Manhuai and Mrs. Qingdehou said just right, seeing Su Huiyao being helped back, a trace of disgust flashed in Mrs. Qingdehou's eyes.

"Brother Chen, you go for a walk in the garden and come back from picking flowers for your mother."

"Mother, you're talking to Mrs. Qin here, why do you want to pick flowers again?" He Muchen asked.

He clearly remembered that his mother's favorite peony flower on weekdays, said that the flower was rich and eye-catching, and he knew that it was a virtuous one at a glance, and also said that the seasonal flowers of the month were inappropriate, like a noisy one, and the flowering period and appearance were close to the peony flower, as if trying to imitate the peony, which was disgusting.

Of course, he also knew that his mother didn't look down on Yueji Flowers, she was just tired of this kind of thing, whether it was flowers or people.

My mother has a bad temper, but she is upright and clear.

"Mother asked you to go, why do you have more mouths?" Mrs. Qingdehou was a little impatient, "Hurry up, what are you doing here?" ”

Su Huiyao sat on the side, gently rubbing her ankles, her face was weak, but her eyes always glanced at He Muchen from time to time.

He Muchen is also real, obeying his mother's words, turning three steps into two steps and running into the garden.

Since the mother wants to pick the moon season, it is better to say five sentences than ten sentences, and it is better to do one sentence than to say five sentences, such a simple truth, he understands.

Su Peiyao's headache and brain fever have eased a lot at this time, but it's a pity that the fat powder on her face has been washed off by a wet handkerchief, and the maid of Qingde Houfu is also serious, two bowls of mung bean soup for her to drink, if she doesn't relieve the heat, I'm afraid that she will have to serve the decoction.

I had no choice but to get up, saying that I was already comfortable, and the maid was relieved to let her out.

Thinking that it was not easy for Qin Manhuai to take her out, this was still due to the old lady's face, otherwise wouldn't all such good things be taken to her daughter? What good thing can befall her?

This kung fu is not there, maybe how Qin Manhuai can boast about his daughter before Mrs. Qingdehou, he must not say a word to himself.

I hurried into the garden, but there weren't too many people. Because Su Yunyao was taken elsewhere by He Nianning.

Su Peiyao narrowed her eyes slightly, and carefully shuttled among the flowers, some of the flowers were half a person tall, and there were a few plants that could not be said to be flowers or grass, all of which were about the same height as her.

Hearing the sound of footsteps nearby, Su Peiyao hurriedly stopped, but was startled by the bees in her ears.

He Muchen didn't know that someone stopped at the turn, and he was also startled when he heard Su Peiyao exclaim because of the bees.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you don't get close to hurt it, it won't take the initiative to sting you."

Looking closer, not to mention how jade the man in front of him is, but his attitude is gentle, and his appearance is also tall and handsome.

Why don't you use Yushu Linfeng to describe him? Probably because his complexion is a little dark, so he seems to be thick and powerful, and he is definitely not warm and jade-like.

Su Peiyao was ecstatic in her heart, she just went out and met the concubine of the Hou Mansion?

"Gongzi is well, I came with the eldest lady of the Su family, ranking fourth among the sisters of the Su family, I don't know who the son's surname is, but is the brother of the Hou Mansion?"

"It turned out to be the fourth girl of the Su family!" He Muchen smiled sincerely and heartily, "I am the eldest brother here, and your sisters and Mrs. Su were invited by my mother." ”

That's right, this is my son-in-law! Su Peiyao couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, and her face turned red when she brushed it.

Because Qin Manhuai married the Su family, everyone called her Su Qin outside, and it was reasonable for Mrs. Su to call her.

"Four girls, you... Are you feeling unwell? He Muchen was a little worried when he saw her sweating profusely and her cheeks flushed.

Su Peiyao hurriedly responded, "No, no, no, don't worry, the eldest prince doesn't have to worry, I'm just suffering from some heat stroke, and my body is weaker than others when I'm small, and I'm not used to going out often..."

left an impression of a delicate body, which just made He Muchen feel distressed and distressed her.

Don't men like to be delicate and weak?

Sure enough, He Muchen had never been in contact with any foreign woman, and this made him jump into the trap, "Since the fourth girl is uncomfortable, let's go to the room to rest, and I'll call the doctor to show you." ”

"No need." Su Peiyao was a little anxious, afraid that she would have to go back to the room to rest, "I just came out after resting, and it happened to blow the wind." If the Hou Mansion is really a good place, these flowers have never been seen by the Su family, do you know what kind of flowers these are? ”

As soon as he talked about this, he started to gush.

The conversation between the two was quite pleasant, but they were all listened to by Su Yuyao who was not far away.

It's only been a while since you came, and you started to attack your sister-in-law? A fire rose in Su Yuyao's heart, and she walked quickly to Su Huiyao and told her about it.

"What a fox! Prevent this and that, but not Su Peiyao, who lacks heart! Su Huiyao said these things that shouldn't have been said to her in a very small voice.

How can I say that Su Peiyao is also her sister, no matter whether her sister is wrong or right, it is not her turn to arrange, not to mention that there is something else in Fang Cai's words, and the malice can be heard just by listening to it.

If the old lady knew that she said these words, I am afraid that she would not be able to finish without a twenty board.

Originally, she was in the pavilion, but Mrs. Qingdehou really couldn't see her appearance, so she took Qin Manhuai to the garden for a walk.

also left a chance for Su Yuyao, and hurriedly came up and said this to Su Huiyao.

"That's it, I don't think Mrs. He is easy to deal with, it's better to let Su Peiyao's tendons go up and bump into it." Su Huiyao's eyes rolled, and this idea naturally appeared.

The weather is still very hot, it is noon, the sun is mercilessly basking everyone, the abalone cucumber wings on the table are not very down, but the fruit soup ice cream lotus seed soup is not very fast.

On a hot day, if you let you eat fish and meat, it will not be a blessing, it will be a crime, especially if the weather is hot, even a cool breeze is reluctant to blow, and a good dish is like chewing wax in the mouth, and there is no taste.

The cooks in Qingde Houfu are also smart, and without waiting for the eldest lady to arrange it, they went to the ice cellar and picked up fresh watermelons, with frost on the skin, and everything was still cool.

If you take a bite of this on this day, I'm afraid that the heat will be completely gone, and it will be a lot more comfortable!

But there are pros and cons, now it is not a problem to eat two or three bites on a hot day, if you eat more, you will have diarrhea after a while.

The watermelons were cut one by one, and a few grains were dug out by a round spoon and placed on the ice.

A few watermelon cups are placed on the table, the red ones are still beautiful, and they are comfortable to eat in the mouth.

The small fork of the watermelon was also prepared by the people of the Hou Mansion, and the eldest lady of his family trusted them very much, and the matter of entertaining the guests was all entrusted to them, and he was idle.

The small forks are triangular and have two horns, sterling silver and ivory. Su Yunyao saw that the watermelon cup was held on the table, and a trace of coolness suddenly rose in her mouth, as if she had tasted the sweet and cool watermelon in an instant.

Is she hungry? She's so hungry!

However, when it came to choosing a fork, she didn't even think about it, so she used a silver one. For her, the ivory is really terrible, it is taken from the living creature, think about it, how much more sin?

She probably won't kill small animals in her life.

Su Huiyao stared at her from behind, watching her eat the watermelon, her eyes narrowed slightly. She felt that Su Yunyao and Qin Manhuai must have been discussed, Su Qianyao was as old as a year, could Qin Manhuai not be in a hurry? No way! She must be in a hurry like a vaulting monkey, and hurriedly find a noble family to marry her eldest daughter.

Who made her belly unhappy, and her three children in a row were all daughters?

Thinking of this, Su Huiyao was not too angry. Even if Qin Manhuai is the eldest lady of the house, even if the children she gives birth to occupy the position of the concubine, so what? My mother gave birth to two boys! The first-born boy is the boss of the entire Su Mansion, even if he is a concubine, he has to respectfully call him a big brother, thinking of this, Su Huiyao's heart is full of joy.

In the future, my father's idea of industry, and the idea of fame and fortune, is it still the son of the Su family? In other words, isn't it all your brother's? At that time, the entire Su family will be in the pocket of their brothers and sisters and their mothers.

Seeing Su Yunyao like that, Su Huiyao felt disgusted, the three concubines born to Mrs. from childhood to eldest surrounded her like a nightmare, especially this Su Yunyao! Su Qianyao has a weak temperament and can't afford big things, even if she has a bright brain, she basically doesn't make a sound, and no one pays attention to her. Su Moyao is crazy all day, like a tomboy Yes, although she looks good, she really doesn't look like a woman, she talks and does things straightforwardly, she is simply a rectum, and she deserves to be played to death by Su Huiyao and her mother and daughter.

But this Su Yunyao is their confidant.

Her father's love for her is still there, even if she dotes on her mother and their children, she can't stand Su Yunyao's cleverness, every time Su Huiyao wants to pull something on her, she easily resolves it.

Isn't that just going against her?
