Chapter 46: The Intoxicating Begonia
"Hanxiang, call your father and my father."
Han Xiang left in response, Xing Pozi became short of breath, desperately telling herself that she was fine, and her aunt would definitely protect herself! Song Haitang saw her nervousness, and smiled, the curvature of the corners of her mouth rose, deeply fascinating Gu Yao.
"Begonia girl, but you thought of something delicious?"
Song Haitang, who didn't want to eat at all, hurriedly said: "Yes." When I saw zongzi leaves, I wanted to eat zongzi, salty meat dumplings. ”
Mrs. Xing sneered: "People who can't eat rice still eat meat dumplings, before bragging, think about it!" Besides, Manbeiping City didn't listen to the meat dumplings. ”
Emperor Yongle changed Beiping to Beijing and changed Beiping Mansion to Shuntian Mansion, which is the fifth year. However, the people of Shuntianfu, who were born and raised, are still accustomed to calling Shuntianfu Beiping Mansion, and calling the prefecture with nine gates Beiping Castle.
Song Haitang's face turned pale, as if he had been exposed.
Gu Yao sighed.
In the half year that I have only been here, why wasn't I so cautious?
Approaching Song Haitang, Gu Yao said, "I know meat dumplings. Previously, when he was in Liaodong, the Chu craftsman who made the mill came from the south, and his family ate salty meat dumplings. We made stuffing from wild boar meat from the mountains, and it was delicious. Will you do it? That's called Hanxiang to buy meat, soak glutinous rice, and eat meat dumplings tomorrow. For this lunch, let's make four dishes and one soup first. The dish is a little harder, and there are guests. ”
"How hard?"
Gu Yao thought for a while and said, "Before the meal, there are two kinds of sugar cakes, the main dish is a fish, a bowl of pork, a bowl of beef, a green vegetable, and the soup is made into tofu soup." The dishes are like this, and the recipe is up to you. ”
According to the order in which the Meng family served the dishes, combined with the Gu family's background, Gu Yao reported the recipes he thought were suitable.
Mrs. Xing looked like "you ate my flesh and drank my blood", and said repeatedly: "Girl's mouth, five or six hundred dollars are gone." Eat like this every day, and there is not enough gold and silver. ”
"What the girl wants to do, that's the Gu family's business, how can you be an outsider to say it!"
Gu Xi rushed over, heard this, and preemptively reprimanded Mrs. Xing. In a word, Gu Zhixian on his side bowed his head, and Zheng Zhi, the tail of "Gu Yao", praised him.
Gu Yao saw Zheng Zhi, his eyes rolled, and he stepped forward to salute him, respectful as he had seen it for the first time, and said in his mouth: "Why is Zheng Sanye here?" There is chaos here, if the third master is wronged, the prince and the Hou Ye know, and they have to demolish this county government? ”
Goodbye compliment, Zheng Zhi suddenly felt very embarrassed, and frowned unhappily.
Zheng surname, Xing San, Hou Ye, such a look, a few words fell into Xing Pozi's ears, and she was so shocked that her Tianling Gai hurt.
I heard that not only the little girl likes it, but also an old man like her. What's more, Xing Pozi had seen Zheng Zhi's background before, and under the sunset, waving a whip and whipping people, it was so natural - murder and crime, in a rich family, it feels like it has become an ornament.
The family relies on the aunt, and the aunt has the prince behind her, but not behind her! Mrs. Xing was suddenly stunned, shrunk her huge and bloated body, trying to hope that she would not be able to see her. Thinking like this, Mrs. Xing heard Gu Yao say, "Dad, this Mother Xing stole the oil from the house. Although this matter is small, it can't be ignored, don't take the evil as small. ”
"It's not stealing! It's the rules, the rules of the chef! Leftovers from the kitchen, the chef can take home! ”
Mrs. Xing said confidently, Gu Yao was immediately happy. Gu Zhixian glanced at her and asked Mrs. Xing: "You admit that you didn't tell your master, so you took the oil, right?" If you take it without telling it, you are stealing. ”
The conclusion is out, and turning left when you go out is the three halls of the yamen, and there is no more convenient thing for the county to catch a person than the back yamen. Mrs. Xing was thinking about Aunt Diqin, and at this time she persuaded Mother Lin.
"Auntie, no! The master wants to save face the most, and with Zheng Sanye, an outsider, he will not follow his aunt's wishes. ”
Aunt Qin has been coming to Gu's house for a year, and the sleeping time is reasonable, and she is very satisfied. However, the time to communicate with Gu Zhixian was directly ignored. Brother Gu Yao is fourteen years old, and seventeen-year-old Aunt Qin has more to say to him. As for Guzhi County, which now has four Chinese New Year's Eve...... There are two ages and genders, which determines that it is normal for the two of them to have nothing to say.
Mrs. Xing was quickly taken away by the officials, and during the whole process, Zheng Zhi did not make a sound, did not contribute, and was slightly depressed.
Gu Yao was next to Gu Zhixian and coquettish: "Daddy's appearance just now is very majestic." When rowing at the end of the day, it must be more majestic! Daddy, will you take me with you? ”
Taking a group of children to go boating was originally Old Man Gu's task. The old man lost his work to Gu Zhixian on the grounds that he didn't know how many days he could live, and rode his horse to Yanshanwei to visit his old friends. Gu Zhixian told him thousands of times, and the old man agreed to bring two guards. The main task of these two guards is to ensure that the old man returns on time on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Gu Zhixian thought that his father was too wild, and seeing that his daughter also had this trend, he refused: "You don't know how to water, it's too dangerous there." ”
Gu Yao gritted his teeth, who said I don't know water! I don't know how to water, so I can take a boat. Gu Yao didn't know how to convince his father, so he poked Zheng Zhi secretly. Zheng Zhi looked at the white and tender little finger and didn't overdo it.
Never count on this product, Gu Yao thought hatefully, and turned his head to grind Gu Zhixian: "With Daddy here, I'm not afraid of any danger!" I promised not to go into the water, and I always followed my father. I was not happy at noon, and I wanted to go out for a walk. If Daddy doesn't agree, then I just don't go. ”
Gu Yao said sadly.
That's right, the girl should have lunch at the mansion at this time, why is she here? Gu Zhixian had always felt that something was wrong before, it turned out that he was here, and he was busy asking Gu Yao about his presence in the mansion.
Gu Yao pursed his lips and looked at Zheng Zhi and said, "Let's talk about it in the evening." Daddy is thinking about taking me out next afternoon, and I'm going to prepare lunch with Miss Begonia and Sister Hanxiang. ”
She didn't pestering to follow in vain, so that Gu Zhixian understood that her daughter and father were still different, and she really thought about it. Han Xiang led the rough woman to buy fish and meat, Song Haitang prepared the ingredients and cleaned the stove first, and Gu Yao sat on the low stool at the door of the stove room and chatted with her.
Song Haitang said: "Just now, I thought the girl would lose money to Mrs. Xing." The girl didn't give her money, which was very relieved, and I liked the girl's temperament very much. ”
Gu Yao said: "If it is eighteen thousand silver, I will have the same idea as Miss Begonia." What I lack most is silver. ”
Song Haitang washed the dishes, washed the rag and wiped the pot, and said with a smile: "There is food and drink, the girl is still young, what do you want silver?" ”
Gu Yao thought about why he wanted silver, and in the end, he was not very sure: "Probably, grandpa taught well?" My grandfather was very fond of saving money and money. He often said that ten dollars, with a string of ropes, is a lot of money, and it can't be moved. ”
mentioned his grandfather, Song Haitang looked nostalgic and said: "My grandfather likes to save fields. He starved when he was a child, and later he liked to save fields. ”
"He didn't save it, your family's life is so difficult?"
Song Haitang came back to his senses, said no, and sneered: "My grandfather's field is still there, but it all belongs to my uncle." My grandmother saw that my father's leg was injured and kicked our family out of the house. ”
Gu Yao heard the taste of "the other party is a fool" from her tone, combined with the previous praise of herself, she had an idea, and asked, "Your grandmother picked you up, did you move your hands and feet?" ”
Song Haitang smiled and said, "Yes." ”
The smugness on his face, self-evident, is so charming and intoxicating.
