Chapter 169: Asking to marry Xu Gongzi
"On this cold day, why do you want to eat pastries again? What an old glutton! Hua Lanxiang muttered, but still stood up and went to the kitchen.
Hua Lanxiang entered the kitchen, looked at the snow outside, and said secretly: "What kind of refreshing pastries do you make on such a cold day?" Why don't you have a bowl of hot sake girl meatballs? β
She took out the glutinous rice flour, mixed the dough with hot water, kneaded it into a dough, and then kneaded the dough into long strips, then kneaded it into small pieces and grinded it into the shape of balls.
Subsequently, boil water, sprinkle in the balls, boil the balls until they float, then pour out some sweet wine, use chopsticks to pull out the rice grains, and then pour it into the pot, then sprinkle in some wolfberries, put in rock sugar, boil for a while, and then thicken with some water starch, you can get out of the pot.
Put the wine stuffed balls into a bowl after coming out of the pot, and then scoop out a spoonful of osmanthus sugar from the osmanthus sugar jar brewed by Huamanxi and pour it on top, and a bowl of fragrant and hot osmanthus wine stuffed balls is ready.
Hua Lanxiang came to Uncle Zhao's room with a big bowl of wine-stuffed meatballs, Uncle Zhao's back injury was originally better, but yesterday everyone hurried here, tossed again, and seemed to have relapsed.
He lay on the bed, unable to move, and when he saw Hua Lanxiang coming in, he came politely: "The girl of the Hua family is here, I'm really tired of you, it's all because Manxi has done too much in the past two days, and he doesn't feed the old man every day, he is really hungry." β
Hua Lanxiang put the wine-stuffed meatballs on the cabinet next to the bed, and frowned: "Didn't Manxi make you four sauce meat buns this morning?" You haven't eaten yet, but you can really eat! β
How can he eat? Is it okay to throw two of the four buns? It's cheaper to raise carrier pigeons! If it weren't for the sake of his family's son, in order to drag you down, let Hua Xiaochu and the prince play happily and cultivate their relationship, would he need to use these bad tricks?
He is a heroic and extraordinary miracle doctor, and he has become a foodie who has to eat twice in three days! Shame, shame!
"That bun is not very palatable, I didn't finish it, I still think that the food you made is more in line with my heart, sister of the Hua family." Uncle Zhao lied without changing his face.
But who doesn't like to be complimented? Although Hua Lanxiang has some opinions about Xu Jinfei, Uncle Zhao is her brother's savior, and everyone lives under the same roof, so they can't make it too ugly, so they have to say: "I made wine lady balls, you eat them while they are hot, Manxi went out with Xu Gongzi to play, and he may come back a little late." β
Uncle Zhao had already smelled the fragrance of the wine lady and osmanthus flowers, he sniffed hard, and said: "Hua Xiaochu shouldn't come back tonight, the son said to take her to Wolong Mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha for fasting, and come back tomorrow!" β
"What! How could he take Manxi to spend the night outside! Hua Lanxiang was shocked and said excitedly, "No, I'll go and call her back!" β
"Ouch, ouch!" Uncle Zhao hurriedly let out an exaggerated cry of pain and stopped Hua Lanxiang's footsteps.
"What's wrong with you! Aren't you a miracle doctor? This wound is babbling! Hua Lanxiang glanced at Uncle Zhao and said dissatisfied.
"Hey, big sister, look at what you said, Manxi still runs a restaurant, so won't she eat?" Uncle Zhao said forcefully, "You boiled this wine-stuffed meatball, I really can't eat it, I also hurt this hand yesterday, you feed me." β
"I'll let my eldest brother feed you, I'm going to call Manxi back!" Hua Lanxiang became more and more impatient, and glanced at Uncle Zhao.
"Hey, hey, hey, didn't your eldest brother take Da Yang to buy New Year's goods early? Where can I find someone to feed me? Uncle Zhao pretended to wail, "I'm really hungry, big sister, you can do it...... Besides, Childe's horses are estimated to have run far away now, and you can't ride a horse, how can you catch up, our son-in-law is a measured person, Buddhism is quiet, and he won't do anything to Hua Xiaochu, so you can put a hundred hearts! β
He said everything in order, every sentence was reasonable, Hua Lanxiang couldn't find a crack if she wanted to argue! She was so angry that she stomped her feet fiercely, glanced at Uncle Zhao again, reluctantly picked up the wine-stuffed balls that night, blew them perfunctorily to the extreme, and stuffed them into Uncle Zhao's mouth, and complained in a low voice: "It's really a slave like a master, they are all gluttonous ghosts!" β
The freshly boiled meatballs sucked up enough juice, and the inside was already hot, Uncle Zhao almost jumped up, but he still swallowed it, and he had to praise it cheekily: "It's delicious, it's delicious...... It's still a big sister who is careful, and her craftsmanship is good......"
Hua Lanxiang didn't cross him again this time, and the movements in her hands softened a little.
Sure enough, it's a thousand clothes, and the sycophants don't wear it!
Here, Uncle Zhao successfully dragged Hua Lanxiang, and over there, Xu Jinfei happily rode to Wolong Temple with Hua Manxi.
This Wolong Mountain is the highest mountain in Shishan County, the Wolong Temple on the mountain is quite famous, the incense is continuous, and there are many tourists.
When he arrived at the place, Xu Jinfei took the lead in turning over and dismounting, and then hugged Hua Manxi off the horse.
"How's it like to ride a horse for the first time?" He hugged Hua Manxi in his arms, tied the big coat on her body for her, pulled the belt, and covered her tightly.
"It's too bumpy, it's not as comfortable as riding in a carriage." Hua Manxi said honestly, "Running so fast makes me dizzy." β
Watching the heroes and heroines in the TV series ride horses and swords to the end of the world, she was still very envious when she was a child, she didn't think that riding a horse was not so fun, and she didn't want to ride next time, not only panicked, but also cold to death! If it weren't for Xu Jinfei holding her behind her, she estimated that she would fall worse than Uncle Zhao.
Hua Manxi looked at Xu Jinfei's frozen red hands, felt slightly distressed, and reached out to hold his hand, which was really cold.
"Let's go, let's go to incense first." Hua Manxi said in a low voice.
Xu Jinfei held her hand back, the two of them clasped their fingers, looked at each other and smiled, both the sweetness of love and the tacit understanding of a husband and wife.
Entering the temple, there were many people who came to offer incense, Hua Manxi and Xu Jinfei bought incense according to the rules, worshiped the Buddha in turn, and donated sesame oil money, and then came to the room arranged by the temple to place their luggage.
In fact, she didn't bring anything when she came out, just some spare clothes, Xu Jinfei waited for her to put her things away, and then proposed: "There is a fun place on this Wolong Mountain, why don't I take you around." β
came out just to have fun, if she stayed at home, Hua Lanxiang's eyes were simply staring at the two of them all the time, not to mention kissing and hugging and lifting high, that is, the distance between the two people was closer, Hua Lanxiang could cough as if the sky was falling apart, although Hua Manxi was not afraid of her, but the noise was so big, how to say it was a little embarrassing, where else did you have any charming thoughts?
"Okay." She smiled sweetly, took Xu Jinfei's hand, and the two walked side by side to the back mountain.
Although there is some thin snow in the back mountain, the scenery is still good, and there are a lot of plum blossoms, which are fragrant.
"It's good not to have your mother staring." Xu Jinfei breathed a sigh of relief, folded a red plum casually, and inserted it on Hua Manxi's sideburns.
"This is a green calyx, you can eat it, don't pick it, it's a waste." Hua Manxi glanced at Xu Jinfei and said with a smile, "My mother is not so terrible." β
"You say it's terrible, isn't it terrible, she now goes to your room in the middle of the night every night under the pretext of covering you with a quilt, and from time to time, sometimes from time to time, sometimes from time to timeβ" Xu Jinfei sighed faintly, leaned close to Hua Manxi's ear, and whispered, "How long have I not slept with you." β
Hua Manxi looked at his aggrieved appearance, thinking that Hua Lanxiang had indeed run to her room from time to time to cover her with a quilt these days, if she locked the door, she would be able to stay at the door early in the morning the next day and tell her a big reason, so she wouldn't lock the door.
It turned out that he was fighting wits and courage with Xu Jinfei.
"Isn't that good? My mother is right, let's have some rules before we get married. Hua Manxi couldn't hide the smile in his eyes and said.
"I also want to get married, but your mother doesn't agree! I said that I would give her a dowry of 100,000 gold, but she didn't agree! What can I do? Xu Gongzi ran away and stomped his feet.
"My mother doesn't want your money, she is afraid that you will treat me badly in the future." Hua Manxi felt a little cold, and took a breath into the palm of his hand, which suddenly became a layer of white mist in this cold field.
"What then? How can I convince her that I will be good to you? Xu Gongzi, who was invincible on the battlefield, was very helpless, hugged Hua Manxi in his arms, and said in a low voice, "I don't dare to go out to do business now, I'm afraid that if I go out and come back, your mother and husband will give you a good relationship, if you go for a long time, maybe when I come back, you will have children!" β
Hua Manxi was amused by him, and punched him in the chest coquettishly, and said with a smile: "What nonsense! Like my mother said, you have shamelessly stayed in my house for the New Year, and everyone regards you as my Hua family's son-in-law, where is there a matchmaker to introduce me to my husband's family? β
Xu Jinfei clasped her fist, pulled her into his arms, put his chin on Hua Manxi's head, hugged her in his arms, and said in a low voice: "After the New Year, I am going out again, I will try to earn as much as possible, and raise the dowry to 200,000 gold, see if your mother agrees." β
"I'm not short of money." Hua Manxi pressed against his chest and whispered, "You go out and be careful, don't come back from injury like this time." β
"Definitely not, I'm still waiting to come back and marry you, how can I cave the house if I'm injured?" A certain son of the world said meat words seriously.
Hua Manxi's face turned slightly red, and he quickly raised his eyes and glanced around, for fear of being heard by others.
Fortunately, this Merlin was quiet, and there was no one else, even the light breeze and light clouds didn't know when they disappeared.
The red plum, the green plum and the white plum are gently swaying in the wind, and there is still a little snow on the branches, the contrast is stark, the color is dazzling, and the fragrance is tangy.
The smile of the person in front of him was warm, and the embrace was even more hot.
Hua Manxi was about to scold him, but before he could speak, he suddenly felt a chill on his lips.
