Chapter 18, A Pit

After saying that, Yin began to make tea.

She moved gently, holding a bamboo ladle in her hand, gently stirring the water in the porcelain pot, and the water ripples slowly rippled at the bamboo ladle, like a mountain stream with a clear stream meeting a stone, it would spread out the ripples.

Yin's every movement is slow, but it doesn't make people anxious, because her movements seem to be able to control the passage of time.

Su Zhixi propped her head and looked at the clouds in the distance.

The cicadas of midsummer also began, the sky was blue as if it had been washed by water, and the breeze wafted in from outside, carrying with it the smell of earth and orchids.

In the afterglow, Yin Shi tirelessly repeated the complicated movements.

I don't know if it's Yin's indisputable attitude towards the world, or the sound of water gurgling in the fire.

Let Su Zhixi's heart slowly calm down.

Yin sat straight, and his slender neck always formed a straight line with his back.

Su Zhixi knew that the Yin family was a person who paid great attention to rituals, and she had to do a little thing in life, such as raising orchids, so that people couldn't find fault with it.

Who would have thought that such a strict self-disciplined person would dote on his children without a bottom line, this Su Zhixi thought that the Yin family himself did not expect.

For example, Su Zhixi is now like this, sitting lazily and semi-paralyzed, and Yin has no complaints or accusations.

On the contrary, Xing Yin will also feel that being able to brew a good sip of tea for Su Zhixi to drink makes the tea ceremony she has studied for many years more meaningful.

I don't know how long it took for Yin to hand a cup of boiled green tea to Su Zhixi.

Su Zhixi picked up the teacup, the fresh tea fragrance was refreshing, the tea taste was slightly bitter in the mouth, with the aroma of clear tea, but the aftertaste was sweet.

Su Zhixi put down the teacup and said softly, "Actually, I came today because I wanted to ask A-Niang for something." ”

Yin didn't answer, but his eyes motioned for Su Zhixi to continue.

Su Zhixi said, "When I went to Huangfu yesterday, I happened to hear two women talking about marriage in the future. I can't remember much of the trivial things I said, but I remember saying that in the end, if you want not to be despised by your husband's family in the future, you can only learn a skill. ”

"I've been stubborn since I was a child, I don't know anything about poetry and songs, and I also have a headache when I look at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although he is quite interested in fists and feet, he will marry a husband in the future, and it will not be a competition. Besides, the ones I learned are also flower boxing and embroidered legs, and I can only put on a show, and if I really want to fight, I may have to stay in bed for a few days to recover. ”

Su Zhixi said seriously. Yin knew what she said about marriage, and most of her skills were made up by her, but she was reluctant to ruin her interest.

On the contrary, seeing that she now knows how to beg her like this, Yin still finds it interesting, so he patiently cooperates with her to finish speaking.

Yin Shi echoed, "At first glance, it seems that you can't say what you said, but after thinking about it, it seems to be the same thing." ”

Su Zhixi said, "That's why I think so, instead of living in the empty like this, it's better to go outside and learn some skills by yourself." ”

Yin Shi misunderstood the meaning of her words, changed his relaxed tone, and replied seriously, "Your grandfather is explicitly not allowed to go out for private study. ”

Su Zhixi saw that the Yin family would be mistaken, and she was afraid that she would be getting darker and darker the more she was going around the corners, so she hurriedly said, "A-Niang misunderstood." I know the rules of the house, and I will never be so confused. ”

She bit her lip, "What my daughter means, is that A-Niang's shop can be married, and she can still call the shots." I want to pick one and learn from the experience. ”

Yin Shi was relieved when he heard that she was not going out to study privately, and said angrily, "You girl, if you want a shop, you will say that you want a shop." Talking about some of the things that I didn't have, it caused me to have a false alarm. ”

Instead, he called someone to invite Xi Niang.

After the servant left, Yin said, "You know that I don't like to worry about these things, my mother's things, except for the year when I first entered the house, after your grandmother registered with me, I didn't ask anymore." It's been your Xiniang who has been in charge for so many years, so you can ask her yourself later. ”

When Su Zhixi heard that Xi Niang was coming, she was also happy in her heart.

I think she hasn't seen Xi Niang for many years.

The Xi Niang in her memory is from the previous life, and on the day she got married, she stood at the door with A-Niang to see her off, crying silently.

Another time, it was before she died.

On the street in the cold winter of Layue, before she took her last breath and was confused, she heard Xi Niang's heart-rending cry.

A sound like a sound that can cut through the silent night.

She felt Xi Niang's warm embrace and felt that it was not too bad to die like this, so she exhaled her last breath and died peacefully in her arms.

After a while, I heard footsteps from far to near.

Su Zhixi hurriedly turned around and stared intently at the door, and in a moment, that familiar figure appeared outside the door.

She couldn't help but stand up excitedly, stepped forward, held Xi Niang's hand, and said, "Xi Niang has been okay lately?" ”

Su Zhixi's sudden closeness made Xi Niang very uncomfortable.

She glanced at Yin's with a smile, and replied without embarrassment, "What's wrong with the girl, why did you go to the Huangfu yesterday and come back as if it was a different person." ”

Then he took Su Zhixi's hand and walked to Yin's side together.

Yin followed Xi Niang's words and said with a smile, "She has been close to you since she was a child, take a closer look, this girl in front of you is dressed as an immortal." If it is really an immortal, I can beg her to pretend to be more time, so that I can live a few days of immortal life. ”

Xi Niang laughed along.

Su Zhixi listened to the words of the two, and also smiled, "A-Niang never talks nonsense on weekdays, if you want to see the immortals, you also invite someone to look at A-Niang first." ”

Yin pointed at Su Zhixi's nose and scolded, "Look, you dare to say anything nonsense now." ”

Xi Niang can see that she can talk nonsense like this, which shows that the mother and daughter are already innocent.

It's the joy in the heart.

She helped Su Zhixi sit down and knelt beside herself.

"The master called me, but what's the matter?"

Yin took a sip of tea and said, "This ghost girl has more eyes now, and she came to coax me to be happy today, I thought it was her filial piety, and I didn't want her to use the idea of my shop." ”

When Su Zhixi heard Yin's counting, he laughed and did not refute.

Xi Niang knew that the Yin family was joking, but she was quite surprised to hear that Su Zhixi actually planned to run the shop.

But surprise is surprise, and if you should go back, it is not ambiguous at all.

"The master married and came to the original five shops, but the back was not well managed and two were sold. There are three existing shops, the incense powder and rouge shops are all in Pingkangfang, and the pharmacy is in Jiahuifang. The benefits of incense powder and rouge shops are okay. It's the pharmacy in this Jiahuifang, which is a bit head-starting. Where does the girl want? ”

When Su Zhixi heard the pharmacy, she suddenly remembered the epidemic outside Kyoto in her previous life.

Then he asked, "What's going on with the pharmacy in Najiahuifang?" ”
