Chapter 20: Birth (1)

In a flash, it was winter, and it snowed heavily for several days in the capital in Layue, so Lufu was also full of silver, pink makeup, and jade.

Lu Tang is delicate and frail, and he is most afraid of the cold on weekdays, and he hid in the house today and did not come out.

Mrs. Lu felt sorry for her, so in the entire mansion, only Lu Tang's room had three pots of silver silk charcoal placed. It was noon, and the air in the room was warm and painful.

Pu Jia looked at Lu Tang, who was reading lazily on the couch, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head slightly. Gently walk to the side and open the glass window a slit to let in the air. The cold air suddenly came in, and it slowly became slightly cool in the room.

Lu Tang was thrilled by the coldness, and only felt that his dizzy head was instantly sobered up a lot. He put down the miscellaneous notes in his hand, sat up straight and stretched.

There was a faint sound of girls giggling in the courtyard. After a while, Cai Wei happily pushed the door in, and said to Lu Tang in a sweet and loud voice: "Miss, we have built a snowman in the courtyard!" ”

Lu Tang only felt that the cold wind that Cai Wei rushed in when he pushed the door in was a bit of an iceman, and he couldn't help but wrap the small blanket around his body. I saw that this girl's face was red from the cold, and she couldn't stop snorting. I really thought it was funny, so I smiled and said, "Then I'll see." ”

As she spoke, she sat up straight and looked out the window, only to see that the snow in the yard had almost been cleared, revealing neat bluestone slabs. Only the grass under the plane tree in the west was not cleaned, and there was a chubby white snowman piled on top of it.

The little girls standing next to Lu Er and Taoxiang were frozen and their noses fell, but they still smiled and greeted Lu Tang indiscriminately.

"Miss, don't you see the snowman in our yard looking good!"

"We've been piling up all morning."

"It would look better if you had a red nose!"

Lu Tang laughed, beckoned Cai Wei over, and said, "You open my mahogany box, I remember that there is a red brocade flower butterfly narrow-sleeved shirt made the year before last." Now that I've grown so much taller, I can't wear it anymore, so I might as well cut it and make a nose for the snowman. ”

Cai Wei smiled and went to rummage through the box.

The little girl outside, Qingmei, ran out a few times, and after a while, she took a red carrot from nowhere and came back, and stuck it on the snowman's nose.

"Isn't that it, how beautiful it is." She crossed her waist and said proudly pointing to the carrot nose.

Cai Wei in the house only found out the narrow-sleeved shirt of the hundred flowers and butterflies at this time, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but hold up the dress and smiled: "Then this shirt will not come in handy, and it is not easy for the poor to see the light of day again." ”

When Lu Tang heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said, "You girl, you pity your clothes." ”

After thinking about it, he said, "Then you don't have to put it back again, just enjoy the green plum." It just so happens that she is young and small, and she will still be able to wear it. ”

Cai Wei pursed her lips and laughed: "Qingmei's little hooves are going crazy with fun!" ”

After saying that, he smiled and took his clothes out of the yard, and carefully instructed Qingmei, making the little girl happy, and went to the door of the house with a smile to button Lu Tang's head.

Lu Tang nodded at Pu Jia, Pu Jia understood, smiled and opened the curtain and went out, waving his hand: "Okay, okay, let's go down and play." ”

Qingmei stood up happily and ran to continue playing with Lu'er and Taoxiang's little girls.

When Lu Tang was looking happy, a rough woman came from outside the door, and he didn't dare to come in, but only nodded and smiled at the gate of the courtyard.

When Pu Jia saw this, she smiled and went over to ask, and after a while, she returned to the house.

"The guy over there in Desheng Lou came over to talk back, because the master of the craft had something wrong, so the jewelry we ordered would be delivered a little later. But it's still available this afternoon. ”

Because the snow outside the yard was not completely swept away, Pu Jia accidentally stepped on the snow while talking at the gate of the yard. So she gently knocked the soles of her shoes on the steps of the doorway of the house, and did not come in until a long time. At this time, she replied to Lu Tang while lifting the curtain.

"It's done, I'll only use it tomorrow anyway, I'm not in a hurry."

Lu Tang was crooked on the small collapse again at this time, wrapped in a small blanket and replied casually.

Tomorrow is her thirteenth birthday, and she ordered a set of ruby jewelry in Desheng Building half a month ago, just waiting to wear it at tomorrow's birthday party. He also invited Huang Jin'er, Zhang Yu and other little ladies who had been friends with him in the past to come to the house, and said that they would hold a snow appreciation banquet.

It just so happened that a few days ago, the eldest brother Lu Mu sent someone to send some venison back, saying that it was a wild deer brought by the hunters in his county, and the meat was very tender. Lu Tang was extremely greedy, so he coquettishly told Mrs. Lu that he would roast venison on his birthday.

Pu Jia, Cai Wei and a few other girls are also looking forward to it in their hearts - after all, there is really nothing fun in winter, and it is a rare fun thing to be able to have a lively roast venison together.

Outside the house, at some point, large snowflakes floated again, flying in the sky like cotton wool.

After a while, the ground turned white, and Pu Jia shook her head and sighed: "I have to sweep the yard quickly after a while, otherwise I will slip and fall." ”

Cai Wei grinned and didn't take it seriously, just sat on a small stool on the side and played with her fingernails for a long time. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he suddenly stood up, leaned into Lu Tang's ear and didn't know what to say.

Then he was alone and mysteriously put on a hat, and went out of the courtyard not knowing what to do.

Pu Jia didn't bother to ask her what she was doing, so she only found the leftover handkerchief she had made before and embroidered it.

Lu Tang was still wrapped in a small blanket as before, nestled on the couch like a fat bug, and opened the miscellaneous book again.

I saw that in ancient times, there was a person who kept guests to eat, but only made tofu. He also said that tofu is his own life, and no other dish can compare to it. When he arrived at the guest's house on the second day, the guest remembered that he loved tofu, so he specially made tofu for him, and other dishes such as fish and meat. But the man didn't eat tofu, but chose fish and meat to eat.

The guest asked him, "Brother, it is my life to taste cloud tofu, why don't you eat it today?" The man replied, "When you see the flesh and fish, you don't want your life." ”

Lu Tang, who was watching, laughed straight down, and covered his stomach and asked Pu Jia to rub himself. Cai Wei was also wrapped in the wind and snow, and came back mysteriously with a basket.

"What is this?"

Lu Tang finally eased up, and asked curiously at the basket in Cai Wei's arms at this time.

"You'll find out in a moment!"

Cai Wei smiled and walked to the charcoal basin in the house. He used the tongs to pick up the charcoals, and snuck something out of the basket and stuffed it in.

After a while, the thing was cooked, and Cai Wei pulled the black thing out of the charcoal basin, and she was not afraid of being hot, and she hissed and blew her hands to tear the skin open.

"It's a sweet potato!"

The sweet smell of burnt burnt suddenly spread, and Lu Tang couldn't help but sit up straight, clapping his hands and laughing.

There were three small sweet potatoes buried in the charcoal basin, and the three masters and servants were exactly one for each person.

At this moment, there was heavy snow outside the house - against the snowy scenery and eating hot sweet potatoes, Lu Tang felt very delicious.
