[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site " ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] After Master Song's fleet arrived at Chaoyangmen Wharf. A group of people came up to answer, and Rui Xue was also picked up by the steward of the Beijing wooden number.
The person who spoke to Ruixue was a servant woman, in her forties, with a round face and a friendly smile: "Miss Wang, grandma asked us to pick up the girl." ”
Ruixue hurriedly responded.
The girl brought a stool, and the servant woman carried Ruixue into the carriage. As soon as she entered the carriage, a warm fragrance greeted her face, and Ruixue relaxed her body comfortably, and after sitting down, she rubbed her hands.
The carriage drove slowly, and the servant woman first took a hand stove for Rui Xue, and then poured tea for her: "Girl drink hot tea, it is cold in the capital early this year." ”
Ruixue nodded: "I've never encountered such a cold day. "Although it will snow in Nanjing, it is wet and cold over there, and it is dry and cold here, and it is so cold in October, so what about after that?
The servant woman smiled and said, "I wasn't used to it when I first came to the capital, so it's good to stay for a long time." ”
"What do you call your aunt, you are also from Yangzhou?"
"My husband's surname is Chang, and the girl calls me Chang Jiu's sister-in-law. I've been serving my grandmother. Chang Jiu's sister-in-law said with a smile, she took the hand stove that the girl took and held it herself. Pointing to the girl, she said, "This is Jin'er, grandma asked her to come and serve the girl." ”
Without waiting for Rui Xue to speak, Jin Er had already greeted Rui Xue on the spot. She looked a year or two older than herself, as if she didn't like to talk, and after greeting Ruixue, she habitually lowered her eyelids.
Chang Jiu's sister-in-law seemed to be very satisfied with Jin'er, and turned her head to Ruixue and said: "Send the girl to your house first, grandma said that the girl only arrived today, and she is tired, so she will go home to rest first, and then invite the girl to our house when her body eases down in a few days." ”
Ruixue nodded. She sat on the boat for more than half a month, and everyone was tired of shaking, so she landed on the ground with her feet, and she still felt that the ground was shaking.
Seeing that Rui Xue didn't want to speak, Chang Jiu's sister-in-law didn't speak, so she took a blanket from her side and covered Rui Xue on her legs.
In a hazy way, Ruixue was shaken awake.
"Miss Wang, it's here." Chang Jiu's sister-in-law said kindly.
Rui Xue propped up her weak body and rubbed her eyes: "Arrived?" ”
"When you arrive, slow down and put on your cloak, it's windy outside." Chang Jiu's sister-in-law said as she took a cloak and sent it to Rui Xue on her body.
It was really cold outside, so the curtain was lifted, and Ruixue shivered. She tightened her cloak and couldn't help but laugh at herself. I didn't feel anything when I got off the boat before, but now I feel cold. Sure enough, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
She looked at the mansion in front of her, it was not big—two simple words of the royal house hung in the center. The gate had been opened, and a doorkeeper hurriedly greeted him, and bowed down to Ruixue: "Say hello to the eldest sister." ”
Rui Xue didn't react for a while, but Chang Jiu's sister-in-law was very fast, took out a string of money from her cuffs and gave it to the gatekeeper, and the doorkeeper stepped aside with a thousand thanks, beckoning someone to rush to inform the old lady to go, and here invited Rui Xue to enter the door.
"The eldest young master is accompanying the old lady, sister, please come here." The gatekeeper thought that he had won the money, he was in a good mood, and he smiled on his face, "Knowing that my sister is here today, the second young master specially took a day off, and my wife has sent it several times to ask." ”
The second young master is on leave? Wife......
Rui Xue thought about it for a while before she came to her senses, the eldest young master was talking about her father, and the second young master was her father's younger brother, and she was really a little dizzy when she came so suddenly.
The house is not big. As soon as he entered, the porter said, "This is the old lady's main house." He rushed to the eaves of the porch and said in a loud voice, "The old lady, the wife, the eldest young master, the second young master, the second young grandmother, the eldest sister has arrived." ”
As soon as she entered the house, the first thing Rui Xue saw was Wang Jiuzhi, she took a few steps and called Daddy. Wang Jiuzhi nodded with a smile, but asked Rui Xue to salute the elders first: "You girl, greet your grandfather, grandmother, second uncle and second aunt." ”
An old man with a white beard on the throne squinted at Ruixue. There was not much hair on his head anymore, sparsely on the ground, the skin on his face was wrinkled, and his spirit was insufficient, seeing Rui Xue, he just raised his hand lightly and motioned for her to come to his side.
Rui Xue hurriedly walked up and knelt down in front of Old Lady Wang: "Grandpa." ”
Old lady Wang smiled, looked at Ruixue carefully, and Wang Jiuzhi, who was on the side, hurriedly took out a box next to him, took out his glasses and put them on for Old Lady Wang.
Rui Xue knows this, and Old Lady Zhao also has one, and it is said that wearing this can make the eyes clear. But when she was a child, she and Zhao Xihou secretly played with Mrs. Zhao's glasses, and as soon as they put them on. Not only did I feel clear in front of my eyes, but I also felt dizzy. I really don't understand why Mrs. Zhao and Grandpa Zhao feel clear after wearing it.
"Looks like her mother?" The old lady Wang looked at it again and again, and said to the eldest grandson, "Only this nose still looks a little like you." ”
Wang Jiuzhi smiled: "It's not good to be like a grandson." ”
Old lady Wang glanced at Wang Jiuzhi and smiled: "It's not good to be like you." ”
Before Rui Xue could bow down to Mrs. Wang, a pair of hands touched her, hugged Rui Xue in her arms, and cried: "I finally saw my granddaughter today, and I was willing to die." ”
Mrs. Wang groped Ruixue's face and specially touched Ruixue's nose several times, thinking to confirm whether her granddaughter's nose looked like her son.
Ruixue was a little stunned at first, but then she found that Mrs. Wang couldn't see it, so she took the initiative to lean her face over and waited patiently.
"Mother, don't cry, the eldest niece has worked hard all the way, and let the eldest niece rest for a while." Second Grandma Wang smiled and persuaded Mrs. Wang.
Only then did Mrs. Wang stop crying, a smile appeared on her face, and she said blankly in one direction: "I happily forgot." Good boy, go and add some clothes, your hands are cold. ”
Old lady Wang also nodded, and with the support of Wang Jiuzhi, he slowly stood up: "Chun'er, you accompany me to the kitchen." ”
Mrs. Wang is going to cook in person today. Rui Xue was a little surprised, can this grandfather who can't walk steadily still cook? With his trembling hands, does he still have the strength to break the pot?
But the father didn't stop him, and the second uncle smiled and said, "Grandpa is so happy today." He said to Ruixue again, "The eldest niece is so blessed, grandpa hasn't cooked in person for a few days." We have the light of our eldest niece today. ”
Mrs. Wang smiled and called the second child of the Wang family over: "Don't be idle, also cook two good dishes for your niece to taste." People like us have nothing but to make food. ”
The second child of the Wang family responded again and again.
Ruixue changed her clothes and asked the second grandmother of the Wang family to lead her to the kitchen, but the second grandmother of the Wang family said that the women of the Wang family were not allowed to enter the kitchen. She had to say that she wanted to take a look, but she couldn't do it.
Mrs. Wang said, "Take her there, my father won't say anything if he's happy today." ”
Sure enough, the old lady Wang was happy and didn't say a word.
Rui Xue stood outside the kitchen, looking at her grandfather, father and second uncle, who were busy on the stove. Especially the grandfather, who was not supported at all, stood steadily in front of the stove, the heavy subway pot in his left hand, and he didn't tremble at all.
After Mrs. Wang finished frying a dish, she was slightly surprised to find Ruixue standing outside the kitchen.
The second grandmother of the Wang family looked at the old lady Wang, for fear that he would be angry, so she hurriedly said: "The eldest niece wants to come over and take a look, my mother asked me to bring her." ”
Old lady Wang nodded, cut the vegetables, his knife skills were also very powerful, slicing and shredding was just in an instant, and the cutting board made a continuous tapping sound. After a while, Old Lady Wang stopped, turned his head and said, "Your father said that you also learned to cook?" ”
This is for Ruixue. Rui Xue nodded: "Yes." ”
Old lady Wang put down the knife and beckoned Ruixue to come in: "Come in!" ”
Rui Xue didn't understand the surprise on the faces of the second uncle and the second aunt, and she didn't understand her father's surprise, so she stepped into the kitchen.
Old lady Wang handed her the knife and motioned for her to cut vegetables: "This is shredded." ”
Ruixue took the knife and cut it seriously. Although her movements were swift, there was still a pause under the deliberate gaze of others, and the thickness of the film also appeared.
After cutting it so easily, Ruixue only felt that her hands were shaking.
After seeing this, Old Lady Wang shook her head dissatisfied, and pointed to Wang Jiu: "Since you have decided to teach her to cook, how can this knife work be like this?" ”
"Originally, she was learning to have fun, and she didn't really plan to teach her." Wang Jiuzhi explained in a low voice.
Mrs. Wang is still not satisfied: "If you want to learn, you can learn well, what is fun." Is it fun to eat what you put in your stomach? After all these years, you still haven't even understood this? ”
Wang Jiuzhi didn't speak again.
Ruixue pursed her lips and lowered her head. She didn't show her knife skills at all. But if it is fully demonstrated, it is estimated that Grandpa Tai can also pick out the thorns, after all, his work is so powerful.
The old lady Wang glanced at Ruixue, who bowed her head, and ordered Wang Jiuzhi to take a piece of mutton, and called Ruixue to slice it, but she instructed: "This slice, the thinner the better." Later, we will eat shabu mutton. ”
Rui Xue hadn't heard of shabu mutton, but just obeyed the instructions of the old lady Wang and slice it finely. cut half of it, and the old lady Wang asked her to step aside and slice the remaining half by herself. The lamb slices for two people are divided into two plates.
Mrs. Wang brought a small brass hot pot from the side, boiled some soup into it, and when the soup boiled, he sandwiched the mutton slices and delivered them up and down in the hot pot.
"The essence of shabu mutton is that it is fresh and tender, and it can be used after seven or eight times. Taste, taste! The old lady Wang said while motioning Rui Xue to try it, and he pushed the sauce from a row of small plates in front of him, "This is the sauce that shabu mutton eats." Dip some of our Wang family's ancestral secret sauce, ordinary people can't eat it if they want to! ”
Ruixue looked carefully at the sauce on the plate, there were leek flowers, she tried to dip the chopsticks in some sauce and put it in her mouth, huh! It's delicious, with a little bit of flavor. She tasted the sauce on every plate first. Northerners really love to use sauce, an ordinary sauce can have so many flavors, and the taste of a dish is a little weird, she really doesn't like it.
After tasting the sauce all over again, she tried out the taste she liked, sandwiched some mutton slices, learned the technique of Mrs. Wang, soaked the mutton in the soup pot, seven up and eight times, and then dipped in some sauce, which was really delicious. It was just a little smelly, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Try this too." Old lady Wang pointed to the plate of mutton slices he had cut and asked Rui Xue to try again.
Rui Xue glanced at the old lady Wang in puzzlement, and asked her to try this, what is she doing? Could it be that this lamb would be different?
I tried it in one bite, and she didn't think there was any difference, it was delicious!
Mrs. Wang shook her head, sighed, and directly asked her grandchildren to set the table: "Let's go eat!" ”
"Daddy?" Rui Xue looked at Wang Jiuzhi suspiciously, she didn't say why she was so disappointed with her grandfather?
Wang Jiuzhi smiled, waved his hand at her, and asked her to follow Old Lady Wang over. It seems that grandpa's expectations for Ruixue are not ordinarily high!
The family sat down, and the door said outside: "Old lady, someone from the palace invites the second young master to go back!" ”
