Chapter 57 Osmanthus under the Moon
"It's nothing, Da Yang is my own brother, my cousin, no, this can't." Hua Manxi waved his hand a little embarrassed, and changed the topic, "Everyone eats meat, eat meat, Uncle Li killed a whole sheep, this has to be eaten, the pot is still boiling haggis, sheep belly, sheep intestines, sheep heart, I used sugarcane and radish to cook together, after cooking, soft and ripe, but delicious." β
"Then just bring me a bowl, this meat is a little spicy for me, I want to eat something soft." Aunt Liu also noticed Hua Manxi's embarrassment, and hurriedly handed over her bowl to relieve her.
Hua Manxi took the godmother's bowl and was about to go to the kitchen, but Xu Jinfei had already put away the dagger, took a bowl, and handed it to her: "Miss Manxi, can you bring me a bowl too?" β
Hua Manxi was about to take it, but Li Qiuqiu moved faster than her, quickly took Xu Jinfei's bowl, and responded: "Young Master Xu, the haggis is hot, I'll serve it to you, so as not to burn Sister Manxi." β
Xu Jinfei: "......"
He really wanted to take out the dagger, piece by piece, like a piece of mutton, and slice this troubled little girl!
But he had to be calm on his face, calmly squeezed out a smile, and said slowly: "I'm tired of Miss Li." β
"Don't bother, don't bother, by the way, Manxi said that this haggis is better with spicy seeds, does Xu Gongzi want spicy seeds?" Li Qiuqiu took the bowl, raised his head intentionally or unintentionally, looked at Xu Jinfei timidly, and asked considerately and gently.
"No, thank you." Xu Shizi forcibly endured.
The light breeze and light clouds present looked at their son-in-law with a confused face, and they stopped talking, and their expressions were obscure.
This, didn't their son-in-law never eat things like haggis, pigs, and cows?
Uncle Zhao leisurely ate the mutton sliced by the prince, drank Uncle Li's treasured roasted knife, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't say anything.
Ah, young man. He laughed inwardly.
Lord Shizi, just thinking about giving the bowl a gap and pulling the hand of the little village girl, he Zhao Divine Doctor is a fiery eye, how can he hide this little action?
I took pity on the girl of the Li family, carefully brought out a bowl full of haggis, and stared at the prince all night, but the prince didn't even move the chopsticks!
This really broke the little girl's heart!
Except for Li Qiuqiu, who was broken-hearted, this all-sheep banquet was eaten by the guests and hosts, and everyone had round bellies.
There was still a cauldron of haggis left in the pot, and Uncle Li also begged Hua Manxi to bring some back to Uncle Hua and his aunt.
Li Qiuqiu reluctantly sent Xu Dashizi away, but Xu Dashizi stood at the door and waited for Hua Manxi.
"Let's stop by and give you a ride, it's getting dark, and it's not safe for you to be a little girl." Xu Shizi said in a high-sounding voice.
"It's a little bit of a road, don't you bother?" Hua Manxi thinks that it is not safe for four big men to follow her and send her off, okay?
"Let's go." Xu Dashizi is not a reasonable person, so he turned back to Uncle Zhao and said, "Uncle Zhao, you go back first." β
Uncle Zhao nodded, looked hard at the breeze and light clouds, and said with a look on his face, we all understand, we all understand.
Hua Manxi: "......"
Forget it, he likes to follow so much, so let's follow.
The two walked on the moonlit path one after the other, Xu Shizi followed closely behind her, not far or close, not fast or slow, as quiet as her shadow.
When he was about to arrive at Hua's house, Xu Gongzi, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said loudly: "You, wait." β
Hua Manxi looked back at him in wonder, but saw him fly forward, but in a few seconds, he climbed a big tree.
Immediately, there was a movement on the tree, and the broken leaves and flowers on the tree fell on her body, on her shoulders, on her headβ
It's osmanthus. The aroma is rich and intoxicating.
Not long after, Xu Jinfei flew down from the tree, and he had already lifted his robe, and his clothes were full of a bunch of osmanthus flowers.
"I'll send you." He approached Hua Manxi and said in an arrogant tone.
"This-" Hua Manxi looked at the robe he used to hold osmanthus flowers, and was very shocked, "How did you send me this?" Isn't it possible to cut off the robe? β
Xu Shizi's noble handsome face flashed a trace of shame, and his expression was puzzled for a while, and it took a while to grab the corner of the robe with one hand, and with the other hand, he took out the delicate dagger of mutton just now from his sleeve, and was about to start cutting his robe.
"Oh, don't, you don't." Hua Manxi couldn't imagine that this person was so stupid, so he quickly pressed his palm, "Your clothes are not cheap, are they?" What a pity to cut. β
"Then it's a pity that I pick this osmanthus so hard?" Xu Shizi snorted arrogantly, and still had to cut his robe.
"Don't, don't, give me the dagger." Hua Manxi stood on tiptoe and snatched the dagger in his hand, her action brought the two closer together, and Xu Jinfei could even smell the faint smell of oil smoke on her body.
He didn't dislike it this time, but under the cover of the moonlight, his eyes deepened a little, staring directly at her side face.
Hua Manxi didn't think so much, and after snatching his dagger, he glanced a few times on the road and saw a dwarf plantain.
The leaves of the plantain leaves are large and round, and it is enough to hold this stick of osmanthus flowers.
She used a dagger to cut two banana leaves, overlapped them, and then returned the dagger to Xu Jinfei, and then squatted down: "Pour the osmanthus on the leaves, such a simple thing, do you need to cut the robe?" β
She squatted down, Xu Jinfei was standing, there was a condescending feeling at such an angle, he lowered his eyebrows, and saw that the little village girl was holding the leaves with a sincere and serious expression, waiting for his osmanthus.
Looking at it this way, this little village girl still looks good, but it seems that her body is a little thinner and has not grown yet.
"Xu Gongzi-" Hua Manxi couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him and reminded when he saw that he was slow to move.
"Oh." Xu Shizi suddenly came back to his senses, and carefully poured the osmanthus in his arms into the leaves in Hua Manxi's hand.
The aroma of osmanthus is strong, mellow and far-reaching, sweet and lasting, whether it is to make wine and tea, or to make pastries and cook food, it is first-class.
"Master Xu, if you help me pick up another handful, I'll use one for soaking wine and one for cooking." Hua Manxi put the osmanthus in his arms into the leaves, wrapped them carefully, and then pulled a slender leaf to wrap his mouth.
Xu Dashizi: "......" He is playing romantic, do you understand romance! When he was in the army, he often heard his subordinates tell stories about romance in Kyoto, sending flowers and money, isn't this a common method?
It's impossible to send money, but it's okay to send flowers, but how can she cook here!
Xu Shizi was depressed.
"Hurry up, I'll cook tomorrow and I'll send you one." Hua Manxi urged again.
"Good!" Xu Dashizi responded categorically, and before the words fell, the person had already flown to the tree.
His movement at this time was a little bigger, a lot of osmanthus flowers fell on the head of Hua Manxi, Hua Manxi raised his head, and his gaze was caused by the osmanthus flowers falling one after another under the bright moonlight, and the handsome boy in the shadow of the hazy treeββ
I don't know why, she actually felt that her heartbeat was a few beats faster!
"You see if these are enough, if they are not enough, I will pick them for you." In a trance, the white figure had slowly jumped down from the tree and stood in front of her.
Hua Manxi came back to his senses suddenly, quickly turned out the remaining leaf just now, connected the osmanthus to the leaf again, and carefully rolled it again.
"Help people to the end, send flowers to your home, and I'll hold these flowers for you." Xu Jinfei held a stick of leaves in one hand, and Xu said.
"Then I'll bother you, Young Master Xu." Hua Manxi smiled sweetly, lifted the food box on the ground, and walked towards the courtyard of the Hua family.
The two of them didn't go one after the other this time, they walked side by side, pulling out a pair of inseparable and entangled shadows under the moonlight.
"Yo, isn't this my sister Manxi? Just got married to Ding Xiucai, so soon to find a home? A flowing voice suddenly sounded on one side.
Hua Manxi followed the sound, but saw a figure lying on a low shrub tree on the side.
I don't sleep so late, who else is there besides Wang Dazhuang?
"You are related to your second aunt, but you have nothing to do with me, don't recognize your relatives indiscriminately." Hua Manxi sarcastically said unhurriedly, "If you don't sleep at this point, are you squatting?" β
"You're just squatting! You don't talk nonsense! Wang Dazhuang was angry when he said this, last time Hua Manxi blackmailed his mother for two taels of silver, so that he didn't have meat for a long time! Tonight he just wanted to come out and steal the chicken and go back to fight the tooth sacrifice, who would have thought that he would run into this dead girl!
Hum! It's time for them to settle their accounts.
"This brother, look at how you look like a dog, don't be deceived by this dead girl! This dead girl, she was ruined, her body is not clean, and she has been withdrawn, don't pick up a broken shoe as a treasure. Wang Dazhuang looked at Xu Jinfei and said undestructively.
"Really? Am I a broken shoe? Then your mother and you have tried everything possible to ask me to go back to be a daughter-in-law? What is the reason for this? Could it be that you, Wang Dazhuang, steal chickens and dogs in the village all day long, and can't even marry a daughter-in-law in her thirties, so you can only wait for someone to withdraw from her family? Hua Manxi sneered, his eyes were a little colder, "Did you not get beaten hard enough last time you touched our yard?" If you want to try playing the board again, I can do it for you! β
"You! What are you high! You are what kind of fresh radish skin you are, the whole village knows that you went up the mountain and were ruined, and it was Lao Liu Yang who carried you back with me that day, otherwise you would have died! You're just like that to your savior! Wang Dazhuang snorted coldly, "When you can't pay the Ding family's money, you just came to beg me Wang Dazhuang to marry you, and I didn't bother to look at you." β
