Chapter Eighty-Four: Zhongyuan

When Xiaoru and Lou Yi returned home. It was dawn, the light of the morning sun reflected the earth red, Ding Feng sat at the table early and had breakfast, but fortunately, the old lady had not gotten up yet, otherwise, let the old man know that the couple went out in the middle of the night, I am afraid they would be worried.

Lou Yi didn't care about moving his body, so he hurriedly grabbed the meal with Ding Feng and ate, and the two of them went out, but before leaving home, they inevitably got to Xiaoru's side and teased the little beast that was brought back.

Xiaoru personally sent her father-in-law away from home, and asked Xiaoyan to cook a pot of medicinal tea to ward off the cold and bring it to him, after all, the cold wind blew all night at night, and she was still a little worried that Lou Yi would catch a cold and get sick. In the past, when Lou Yi left, Xiaoru had not yet gotten up most of them, and such opportunities were rare.

In the morning, I asked my mother-in-law to say goodbye, and after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had eaten, they went to the medicine garden together. The other went to the field to look, fed the chickens, drove the ducks and geese into the pond, and took some tender bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest.

Xiao Ru finished taking care of the garden, but also accompanied her mother-in-law to do embroidery work, the little beast may have just arrived in a strange place, not a single step to leave Xiao Ru, Xiao Ru also likes its cute appearance, but now in early autumn, although the autumn wind has been cold, but the weather is still hot, such a fluffy little thing always likes to lie on his shoulder, really a little unaccustomed.

However, after chatting with this little thing for a while, Xiao Ru knows a lot about that wonderful cave, this little thing is an omnivore, but the staple food is Tai Sui and various ginseng and other herbs by the lake in the cave, so this little thing has no animal smell at all, smell it carefully, and there is a very good smell of medicinal fragrance, however, the things it eats are not supplied by ordinary people, at least, the wild ginseng that Xiaoru picked back and cultivated in the medicine garden. It is dismissive.

Knowing its food, Xiao Ru was a little entangled, those medicinal herbs are really a treasure that is hard to find for a doctor, if it is known, this little thing often gnaws on the century-old ginseng as a radish, and I don't know how many miracle doctors will be so angry that they vomit blood and die.

Fortunately, this thing is very greedy, not only medicinal herbs, but also chicken, duck, fish, snacks, fruits and vegetables, everything can be eaten, if it is not so greedy, so that it eats dirty things and damages her stomach, I am afraid that Xiaoru has not had a chance to see that wonderful valley.

"Daughter-in-law, what is this, dog?"

"Well, probably a mutant fox dog, I think so." Xiaoru smiled, this gadget looks like a fox dog, and it understands human words, it is cute and well-behaved, and it is not bad to raise it as a pet dog.

The old lady reached out and scratched the little thing's head. Seeing that it tilted its head, it didn't dodge, and its eyes were also very smart, so she couldn't help laughing: "The gadgets are very well-behaved, Fu'er said that she wanted to raise some cute puppies, and now it can be regarded as fulfilling her wishes, and the two starlings should be able to suffer a little less......"

Fu'er's child because he likes the pair of starlings, he teases them all day long, at first it was okay, the two starlings are also willing to give her fun, but after a long time, the starlings are also bored, no matter how Fu'er teases, he just loves to ignore it, as a result, Fu'er was scared to think that the starlings were sick, and insisted on asking Xiaoru to prescribe medicine for them, Xiaoru was entangled, so she had to prescribe some medicine that was not harmful to the body at will. If you don't eat it, if you don't eat, Fu'er girl really dares to break their mouths and pour hard, and it won't take many days for the two birds to wilt, and this appearance falls into Fu'er's eyes, and it becomes a proof that they are sick. The medicine is fed more diligently.

Now that there is a new animal, it may be a good thing to take Fu'er's mind away from Starling.

"By the way, I'm going to put the river lantern tonight, let Mr. stop the class for Fu'er, and prepare early."

Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that today is July 15, the Bon Festival, "Mother, we should eat edamame today." With that, Xiaoru took Xiaoyan and the others to the kitchen to cook edamame.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Xiaoru was also interested, in addition to cooking edamame in salted water by herself, she also said a lot of fresh pasta, let Xiaoyan make it, of course, she only moved her mouth, and it was Xiaoyan and a few cooks who did it.

Mrs. Lou also personally steamed flower buns for her son, daughter-in-law and Ding Feng's juniors, Xiaoru looked at the excitement, and also steamed together, remembering when she was at home in her previous life. Her mother would also steam steamed buns for her every Midyear Festival, but her mother was ingenious and could steam many tricks, according to the zodiac zodiac - sheep, tiger, ox, rabbit, dragon, all kinds of vivid and realistic. will also pinch all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and the steamed flower buns are very delicate, Xiaoru and her father are almost reluctant to eat them.

Now Xiaoru's hands are also coincidental, and she can't help but be interested, and make a few very small buns decorated with butterflies, dragonflies, plum blossoms, little squirrels, and the newly obtained little fox dog, Xiao Pan, and Starling's patterns, which are packed into food boxes and ready to be given to Dr. Tang, the old man, Gao Ran, Meng Nier, and Xiaoyan to eat together.

Lou Yi came back with the old man Gongsun and Ding Feng, the old man had not seen him for a few days, his spirit was not bad, his body was as tough as before, he was shaking a feather fan in his hand, Xiaoru estimated that he was touching, Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms, I am afraid that this is the demeanor.

made a table to eat, and everyone didn't care about the rule that no women were allowed to eat at the table, and then took the car to the river to put the lights.

July 15 in the Yuan Festival, actually drifted drizzle, the rain is not big, just lingering, even the clothes are not soaked, it rains lightly, people's interest is higher, on the street, countless people help the old and the young, holding all kinds of river lanterns. Before it got dark, they went out early, and many small traders also seized the opportunity to shout and shout.

Lou Yi and Ding Feng rode horses, Gongsun Zhi, the old lady of the Lou family, Xiaoru took Meng Nier Xiaoyan and the two maids, and Fu'er sat in the car, the little monkey squatted on the roof of the car, holding a string of sugar gourds in his mouth, dancing with his hands, this monkey has always been very lively, greeting pedestrians on the side of the road from time to time, so that it provoked some children to chase and adults to laugh.

Xiaoru hugged Fu'er, through the window, looking at the pedestrians outside the car, shoulder to shoulder, men, women and children, all carrying colorful river lamps in their hands, with a faint smile on their faces, and their mood was not much more comfortable.

The old man Gongsun Zhi took a purple gold gourd, which was half smaller than the one hanging on Lou Yi's waist, but the wine in it was all made by Xiaoru with monkey wine with warm and replenishing medicinal materials, and it was a very good medicinal wine, which was drunk every day, which was very good for the body.

Originally, Xiaoru also prepared it for Ding Feng, but Ding Feng almost didn't drink a drop of wine, even if it was a wonderful wine like monkey wine, he didn't drink too much, and most of it went into Lou Yi's stomach.

"Young lady, my river lantern is the most beautiful."

Fu'er held a delicate, inlaid with gold leaf lotus river lamp, looked outside for a long time, when he turned around, he smiled so much that there was only one slit left in his eyes, Xiaoru reached out and patted her little head, and said: "Fu'er, don't always show off with good things, don't you remember, that year I used a pheasant tail for you to make a colorful chicken feather shuttlecock, you like it very much, always take it out and show off with your friends, as a result, it didn't take two days to make people break, at that time, who cried like a little flower cat." ”

Fu'er seemed to hold the river lantern incomprehensibly, blinking her big eyes, and looking at Xiaoru in confusion.

Mrs. Lou shook her head and smiled: "Daughter-in-law, the child is still young, you teach her now, she can't understand, you don't have to worry, our family is smart and clever, and in the future, she will definitely grow into a clever girl." ”

Xiao Ru shrugged, thinking that it was the same, so he stopped talking, Lou Yizhi smiled from the outside: "Xiao Fu'er really knows the goods, this river lamp was given by our Long Live Lord, it is said that the Internal Affairs Office only made eighteen lamps, and even a few ladies in the palace did not have them." ”

Xiao Ru blinked, stared at the three exquisite river lamps in Fu'er's hand, glanced at the old man Gongsun Zhi, and felt that his gums were a little sour, and the holy family was too strong, which was not a good thing, but the old man still looked leisurely and wandering, and even invited someone to build a house near the Lou family's Zhuangzi, so it seems that this old man knows it in his heart, and he is afraid that he doesn't need her to worry about it.

At this time, there was a sudden exclamation outside the car, Xiao Ru turned her head to the side, looked outside, and saw the little monkey on the roof of her car Duoduo suddenly jumped down, I don't know what he picked up from the ground, and jumped into the window of the carriage in front of him.

Xiaoru was startled, and jumped to her feet in anger and shouted, "Duoduo...... What are you doing, what are you playing, come back soon...... Otherwise, watch your skin! ”

Jiang Tian was also stunned, stopped for a while, and then came back to his senses, and hurriedly chased after the car, at this time, the car in front also slowed down, and stopped steadily on the side of the road, Jiang Tian also followed them and stopped the car, after a while, the front door opened, and a veiled person came down inside, but the eyes were very beautiful, and she was graceful and graceful at a glance, and she was very temperamental**, she held a white jade carving and Tilian's hairpin in one hand, and the other held Duoduo, and saluted Xiaoru through the window, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much...... Miss Monkey, this hairpin is a gift from the concubine husband, and she is very cherished on weekdays, if it weren't for today...... This Miss Monkey, the concubine's hairpin, I'm afraid it will be lost......"

Xiaoru was stunned...... Miss Monkey? This woman is really funny, she can tell whether the monkey is male or female...... I wanted to laugh in my heart, but I returned the salute with a serious face.

Gongsun Zhi glanced at it twice, and also stroked his beard with a smile and said: "Xiaoru, that is the eldest grandson daughter-in-law of Cheng'en Gong Li Xian, I heard that it is very interesting, how close you are to her, there is no harm." ”
