After using the food, I was supposed to rest in the temple for a while, but I could only go back after the sun set. It's just that Zhao Xixiao was afraid of being reprimanded by Second Mrs. Zhao and was anxious to go back, so Qiu had to take the three girls back first.

Zhao Xixiao, who returned home, took the peace charm he asked for to Mrs. Zhao: "This is for the master and his wife, and this is for Brother Shou." ”

Second Mrs. Zhao glanced at the peace charm that Zhao Xixiao handed over to Jin Ying, and still turned around to tease Brother Shou. In her arms, Brother Shou babbled, saliva dripping down her open mouth.

Jin Yan playfully shook the rattle in her hand to lead Brother Shou to look at her: "Brother Shou, Brother Shou." Laughed, laughed. ”

Second Mrs. Zhao smiled and wiped her saliva for Brother Shou: "What are you laughing at?" What are you laughing at? ”

Brother Shou smiled even more happily, and stretched out his hand to grab the rattle.

Jin Yan tried to hand the rattle to Shou Ge'er.

Brother Shou grabbed the rattle with his little hand open.

"Got it."

Brother Shou, who grabbed the rattle, took a look at it twice and sent the rattle to his mouth.

Second Mrs. Zhao hurriedly pressed him, and said with a smile: "You are a little glutton, you send everything to your mouth, can you eat this thing?" ”

Brother Shou was dissatisfied that the rattle was pulled away by Mrs. Zhao, and waved his little hands in protest.

Mrs. Zhao Er held Shou Ge'er's little hand with one hand, pretending to send it to her mouth, and screamed "Ahhhh

Brother Shou was quickly caught by the new game, left the rattle behind, and happily played the game with Mrs. Zhao.

Laughter resounded in Mrs. Zhao's main room. Zhao Xixiao, who was standing on the side with his hands down, looked at it enviously, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily hooked.

Brother Shou'er, who made a "giggle" laugh, is indeed cute.

White, chubby. There is also a small nest on the back of the plump little hand, which is so cute.

Jin Ying saw that Zhao Xiyun was still standing on the side, and quietly walked over: "Seventh girl, I'm tired of going to the temple today!" Drink a bowl of chilled sour plum soup. ”

Zhao Xixiao hurriedly said: "Thank you, no need." ”

"Go ahead! I'll help you pick up the Buddha beans here Mrs., you can go back and rest! ”

"Not tired. I'm going to pick it up. Zhao Xixiao hurriedly waved his hand, and was about to go to the east wing to pick up Buddha beans. When she was about to go out, she heard a burst of laughter from Brother Shou'er, and she turned back with some reluctance.

The laughing Brother Shou, the kind Second Mrs. Zhao, and the funny maids around...... This meeting was just too good. But...... She couldn't help but sigh.

"Where are you going?" Second Mrs. Zhao's cold words sounded.

Zhao Xixiao stopped and secretly glanced at Second Mrs. Zhao, she was in Dushou brother, and she didn't think she was talking about herself. She turned.

"Presumptuous!"

Zhao Xixiao was so frightened that he quickly stopped and turned around slowly.

Second Mrs. Zhao handed Shou Ge'er to the nurse, ordered her to be carried out, and washed her hands: "You are becoming more and more ignorant of the rules now." Go out without saying anything? ”

Jin Ying hurriedly stepped forward to wipe her hands for Second Mrs. Zhao, and said with a smile: "The seventh girl said that she went to the temple today and came back late, and she didn't pick up Buddha beans, so she wanted to go over and pick them up." ”

Second Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly: "You still know this." She put on the ring she had rested on to hold her brother Shou'er again, "It's not the fifteenth day of the new year, what are you doing in the temple today?" You've also learned to pull others along to tell you about things! ”

Zhao Xixiao just hung his head and didn't dare to speak.

"What did you do in the temple?"

Seeing that Zhao Xixiao didn't speak, Jin Ying hurriedly went over and pulled Zhao Xixiao's cuffs and made a look.

Zhao Xixiao trembled and said: "I worshiped the Bodhisattva, made a wish for the third brother, and asked the Bodhisattva to bless the old lady and Brother Shou." The third brother took us to eat the food of Shenshan Temple. ”

Second Mrs. Zhao "hummed" softly and said slowly: "San'er? Why didn't San'er come back with you? ”

The third brother said that there would be something. I'm going to come back later. ”

Second Mrs. Zhao nodded: "You go!" Accumulate more blessings for your third brother. ”

Zhao Xixiao retreated as if he had been amnestied, hurriedly walked to the East Chamber Buddha Hall, bowed in front of the statue of Guanyin, put on a pillar of incense, took two deep breaths, dug out a bowl of soybeans from the bag and splashed it on the ground, and picked it up silently.

Seeing that Zhao Xixiao went out, Second Mrs. Zhao invited the mother-in-law who followed Zhao Xixiao out to come over and ask: "Who are the people who went?" ”

The mother-in-law who followed Zhao Xixiao stepped forward and whispered: "They are all young master's classmates, there is Liu Gongzi, one says that Liu Gongzi is the brother-in-law, called Zitan, and the other is called Le. Cook Wang's daughter followed. ”

"Men and women, what did I tell you to follow? And so many people! ”

"I originally persuaded the seventh girl, but the third young master refused, and then the musician said that he asked someone to hang the curtain when he was eating. And there are many people who say that there are incense, so that people will not live at a glance, and there are not many people left in this world! ”

Second Mrs. Zhao thought that Mrs. Dile sat silently that day, and sneered: "She gave birth to a talking son!" ”

There was no clue, and the mother-in-law didn't know what to say, so she just stood quietly.

Second Mrs. Zhao leaned back on the pillow, closed her eyes, and asked softly, "How is Seventh Sister today?" ”

Seeing that Second Mrs. Zhao closed her eyes, the mother-in-law said with a smile: "The seventh sister is a little happy, and she said a lot to the fifth girl. He also gave a tael of silver, and asked for five peace charms, the first of which had already been sent to the old lady. I was worried about my wife's fasting, so I brought a few dishes back from the temple. ”

Second Mrs. Zhao ignored it and just pointed to her legs.

The hosta immediately took the beauty and thumped it forward, kneeling on the pedal to knock the leg for Mrs. Zhao.

Second Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, and there were only four big girls and hostas left in the house.

Second Mrs. Zhao, who closed her eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened her eyes, and her sharp gaze crossed over the hosta's face, and the hosta was shocked, but her face did not change, and she smiled at Mrs. Zhao Er. flatteringly.

Second Mrs. Zhao quickly rowed over the hosta and looked at Jin Yan and the other two big maids who were sitting not far away doing their work. Their faces were calm, and they kept their heads down and worked. But the goldfinch in the rose-red dress paused, she didn't look up, and continued to work.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao had been looking at them, Jin Ying only felt a little weird. What's wrong with Mrs. today, she suddenly paid so much attention to the Seventh Girl.

"Sister Rongyue, Sister Jin Ying and Sister Hosta in front of my wife are here."

Rongyue and Caiyun looked at each other, put down the work in their hands, stood up and greeted them.

"On such a hot day, what's the matter with my sister coming over?"

Jin Ying smiled slightly, took Rongyue's hand and said, "You still know that it is such a hot day, and you don't invite us in, you will spoil the delicate guest, I see how you explain it to your wife." ”

Caiyun chuckled: "Jiaoke? Where is the coquette, why haven't I seen it? ”

As soon as she said this, the hosta suddenly blushed, but she lowered her head and said nothing.

Rong Yue looked at the hosta with a red face, and saw that she was still carrying a burden in her hand, and glanced at Jin Ying with some doubt.

Jin Ying just smiled and reached out to pat her, and went into the house.

"Sister drink some sour plum soup." Rong Yue took her own fan and handed it to Jin Ying.

Jin Ying just took the fan and fanned slowly: "I can't sit here for long." My wife ordered me to send the hosta. ”

Rongyue just nodded, but there was nothing on her face; Caiyun paused, and glanced at the hosta with three points of joy, two points of shyness, and one point of flamboyance.

Jin Ying looked at a few people in the room and said with a smile: "Mrs. opened her face to the hosta and rewarded the third young master for making a room." Now I've sent people intact. ”

Rong Yue got the whole words of Jin Ying, and immediately ordered the little girl to take over the burden of the hosta, and took her hand with a smile and said, "Congratulations to you." He also asked someone to clean up the house and let the hosta live alone.

"What about the third young master? I just heard that the third young master has returned. ”

Rongyue took the fruit and invited Jin Ying to eat with the hosta, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that I was called by the old lady, and my sister will sit for a while." ”

"Forget it, I won't wait, I'll talk to the third young master when the time comes. Mrs. said that she made steamed chicken with lotus leaves for the young master to eat tonight, and you should persuade more when the time comes. ”

Rongyue got up and sent Jin Ying outside, and whispered: "If Chef Wang does it, I'm afraid that the young master will be willing to eat a few more bites, and Aunt Lai's do, I'm afraid the young master won't even touch it." ”

Jin Ying pulled her and whispered: "I just passed on my wife's words, and you asked Chef Wang to do the same when the time comes." ”

Rongyue said gratefully, "Thank you." My wife always asked my aunt to bring me food, and I didn't know what to do. ”

"Don't say that. You should appease Caiyun first, she has always been at odds with the hosta, and her two eyes are about to burst into flames. If you stop more, you can't make your wife unhappy. ”

Rong Yue pulled her out of the courtyard door, looked around, and said secretly: "How did Mrs. think of ......?"

Jin Ying patted her hand: "I don't know. It's just that after the seventh girl came back, my wife asked a lot of questions, and then she looked at a few of us and chose the hosta. ”

Rongyue asked eagerly, "What did you ask?" ”

"Who went with them, what did they do? A few of the third young master's classmates also went, but this is not good, if you are empty, you can talk about it. The two girls are older after all. ”

"I see."

"One more thing. The sixth young master of the third master's family will come back the day after tomorrow, you are so prepared, don't let the third master's family take a look. ”

Rongyue pulled Jin Ying and said, "I haven't seen the sixth young master, how about others?" ”

Jin Ying smiled and said, "Mrs. has always been at odds with the third wife. The people of the third master's family are also high, and even the little girl can say a few words. Look at us vulgarly, but we may not be pleasing to the eye when we look at them. I'm gone, and I'm going to serve my wife. ”

Rongyue sent the golden warbler back, and was about to lift the bamboo curtain to enter the house, when she heard the hosta in the house say: "I'm thirsty, you can also make me a bowl of iced sour plum soup." Don't just know how to flatter the golden warbler. ”

Caiyun said angrily: "You yourself are not long-handed, what do you want me to do?" Didn't Mrs. give you a smile girl? ”

The hosta couldn't help but stretch out her hands and hold her teeth, gasp, and said with a smile: "This sour plum soup is spilled?" Why are you sour? Straight inverted teeth? ”

Caiyun said: "This sour plum soup has not been drunk yet, and you still don't eat grapes but say that grapes are sour." ”

The hosta smiled: "I should say this." It's a dry day, you're angry, and the grapes are hot. Later, I'll let you taste sour plum soup, so that the fire can be lowered.

"You take your aunt's money. Before I became an aunt, I picked up my aunt's money. Are you afraid that others won't know that your wife asked you to have a room? It's just a room, and it's not a serious aunt. ”

The hosta also showed no weakness: "What do you mean by having an aunt in one mouth." ”

"What you sound means is what it means."

"You made it clear to me, if you don't understand it today, let's go see my wife now."

Caiyun snorted coldly: "See Mrs. I still say this when I see my wife. ”

Rong Yue listened to the two of them talking more and more unusually, and quickly lifted the curtain and went in: "What's wrong with you?" ”

The hosta spat on the ground: "What's wrong?" You go ask her. Her eyes were red. ”

Caiyun sneered: "I'm bah! Eye-catching your little wife? I'm not my mother's family, relying on you to get ahead and soar. You think that everyone in the world is like you, and you want to be a little wife. Phew! Your foxy look, that is, the life of a little wife! ”

"What a little wife, not a little wife!"

The three people in the room stopped when they heard the voice, tidied up their clothes and went out.

Sour plum soup: The oldest drink in our country. The "Tugong Plum Fried" contained in ancient books is one of the oldest sour plum soups. The "braised plum water" mentioned in the Southern Song Dynasty's "Wulin Old Things" is also a refreshing drink similar to sour plum soup. At present, we are drinking the palace recipe that was circulated in the imperial dining room of the Qing Dynasty, and the water of the sour plum soup must be mineral water.
