Chapter XVII: Feast 2
The Yunxi sisters were laughing, and they heard the sound of gongs and drums, and they were about to start the play.
As soon as Yunxi turned his head, he saw a touch of mockery on the corner of Wang Ying's mouth, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye. There were so many people just now that they forgot that there was still one sitting next to her, and it seemed that she had heard Xinran's words.
Yunxi smiled slightly, dispelling the idea of having a deep friendship with this girl in her heart. looks extraordinary, it turns out that it is no different from other women.
Hearing the sound of gongs and drums, the girls who were laughing in twos and threes found a stool to sit on at an astonishing speed, staring at the stage expectantly. Yunxi was dumbfounded at this speed, the charm of opera is really not small.
……
Like downstairs, Aunt Ye upstairs was also surrounded by various ladies, probing, Aunt Ye couldn't close her mouth happily, today is really eyebrows, the usual banquet, she is almost a little transparent, now it's okay, even the three sisters-in-law who have always looked down on her are full of smiles on her faces, not for their respective nieces and nieces.
However, Aunt Ye regretted that she had set Yun Jin early, although she had not yet made a marriage, but this was also because Yun Jin had not yet reached the marriage, but the family affair had also been approved by her husband and in-laws.
Just look at it now, it's too early. In the past, she thought that Yun Jinqian was very good, and she was still her own niece, and it couldn't be better to be close to each other. But today is different from the past, in the past, his son was just a son of a merchant's family, although he was smart and good at reading since he was a child, but what was the use? Who knew that after the new official family ascended the throne, the policy was changed and the children of merchants were allowed to take scientific examinations, and in just three years, her son went from a talent to a lifter, what kind of good relatives could not be found?
Aunt Ye looked at the Lin family, dressed in satin, with a delicate golden hairpin on her head, and jade earrings. In addition, Lin has also read some poetry books, and his temperament is not bad.
But Aunt Ye still deeply regrets that she herself came from such a family, cultivating and reading the family, it sounds good, but it is of no practical use. Over the years, although she has been liked by her husband and in-laws, her three sisters-in-law have money and shops in their hands, and their lives are no worse than their own, and they can even be said to be better.
Aunt Ye endured this regret, and also took out the set that the old lady said, Zhiyuan was far from the age of the weak crown, and she refused to ask from all walks of life in turn.
……
Besides, Yunxi, since she saw Wang Ying's ridicule, she didn't want to pay attention to her, and let her ask whatever she wanted, pretending to watch the play perfunctory, "Hmm...... Oh......" Wang Ying didn't know if a seven-year-old child could understand the play, but she knew that this little lady suddenly didn't want to see her, she was also smart, and she was also attentive to watching the play.
The opera of the Song Dynasty is very different from the modern one, it can be called a collection of song and dance, cross talk, sketches, and acrobatics.
Watching the play, eating snacks, and drinking sherbet, yes, yes, Yunxi didn't feel bored at all, but I didn't think I watched it for a while, why was it time to eat?
Yunxi was eating while thinking about the miscellaneous drama he had just watched, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth from time to time, and Yun Jinzhi, who watched it, was worried, is this sister really a little stupid?
That's not all, the maid here just served a dish, and Yunxi jumped up, "Wow, chili, chili!" ”
Countless pairs of eyes, like moths fighting a fire at night, gathered on the Yunxi sisters and looked at them curiously.
Yun Jin pressed Yun Xi's little shoulders hard and pressed her on the stool, "What are you yelling about, be honest." ”
Yunxi pulled Yun Jin's arm and shouted, "Sister, sister, it's chili, chili!" ”
"What kind of pepper and pepper, if you shout again, believe it or not, I'll beat you right now?"
......, Yunxi saw that Yun Jin's face was flushed with anger, and only then did he realize that he seemed to be too excited, and blamed the damn miscellaneous drama, which caused him to lose his vigilance.
So embarrassed, Yunxi quickly sat down, and did nothing to say, without blushing on his face. When they saw that they were bored, they went to eat their own meals.
However, Yun Jin was not so easy to dismiss, she took a bite of the dish, lowered her head and said angrily: "Go back and clean you up." ”
Yunxi was not scared at all, she was still excited about discovering chili peppers, chili peppers! Chili pepper! My favorite! Finally I ...... you here.
"Sister, what do you think of this dish?"
"This fish? The fish is so fishy that I don't like to eat it. ”
"Sister, it's not right for you to be such a picky eater, you know? It will not grow tall. ”
"Bang", Yunxi took a brain jump, rubbing his head in pain. Well, woe comes from the mouth, I'll close it quickly.
Sandwich a piece of boiled fish, well, ......, delicious, more delicious than the taste in memory, although only a little chili, it perfectly covers the fishy smell of the fish, delicious and smooth, slightly elastic, rare good fish, absolutely natural and pollution-free.
"Sister, try it, it's delicious, it's not fishy at all."
"Liar, huh?"
"Hmph, trick you into getting money?"
"Bang" "You little money fan, I'll try it." ”
How can this person be like this, such a good little beauty, so violent, if it weren't for the fact that you are my sister, I wouldn't have bothered to take care of you.
"Yay......, it's really delicious, sister, there's no fishiness at all." Yunjin sandwiched a piece and ate deliciously.
"See those red shards? It's the chili pepper I said, it's all because of it that it hides the fishy smell. ”
The two sisters on the side also heard it, and Yanran said, "Yunxi, do you say those red fragments are chili peppers?" How do you know? ”
Xinran interjected, "That's right, we also ate when we tried the dishes, and asked the maid what it was, but the maid didn't know, and the chef didn't say it, saying that it was inconvenient to reveal the secret recipe." ”
Hehe, can I tell you that I know that from more than a thousand years later? Can I tell you I've been eating chili for decades? I can't.
"That, I read it in a book. Tell you, you have to read more if you have nothing to do, everything is inferior, but reading is high. ”
"It's still in the book?" happily glanced at Yunxi, who was swearing.
Hey, Sister Xie Yuan is really not easy to fool, "I'm playing in the garden and listening to the maid in the restaurant." ”
It will be Yun Jin's turn to glare at her, when did she run out to play, I didn't even notice it?
Well, it's too much to say wrong, "Eat, eat, 'eat without words' know no?" ”
……
The three sisters all wanted to beat her, and there were a lot of people around her, which affected the image too much, so I endured it.
The wine banquet is similar to the wedding banquet in the modern countryside, after eating a stubble, the intermission is an hour to eliminate food.
Yunxi secretly tugged at Yunjin's sleeve and whispered, "Sister, let's go find my mother?" ”
"What are you looking for?"
"Something."
Although he didn't know what Yunxi could do to find the Lin family, Yun Jin took care of Yunxi all morning, and felt that it was not bad to be able to shake off the burden for a while, so he led Yunxi away.
Yunxi didn't want to go in and salute a circle of people, so he asked Qiulan to go in and call the Lin family out. Lin is chatting happily with a group of married people and exchanging experiences in raising children. Knowing that his daughter was looking for her, he smiled and said no, and walked out.
"Two girls, what's the matter with mysteriously looking for your mother?" Lin smiled and combed Li Yunxi's hair.
Yunxi looked up and smiled: "Mother, have you eaten that boiled fish fillet?" What do you think? ”
Lin nodded, "It's really good, the most rare thing is that there is no fishy smell at all." ”
"Yes," Yunxi said excitedly, "I like to eat that chili, mother, I want to grow chili peppers." ”
"Chili?"
"Well, it's chili, it's because of the chili fish in it that it doesn't smell fishy."
Lin looked at Yunxi, didn't ask her how she knew, thought for a while and said, "I need to ask your father or uncle for this matter, and I also asked your aunt, according to the people in the restaurant, this is their secret recipe, and they may not be able to ask for seeds." ”
"Mother," Yunxi whispered, "Why don't you go to the kitchen and steal two or three?" ”
"Nonsense!" Lin's face changed instantly, "Don't steal, steal, take more, take less, it's not a gentleman's doing." ”
"Mother, I planted it and ate it myself, and I didn't sell it......"
"That's not going to work either!" Lin glared at Yunxi fiercely.
Yun Jin interjected, "Sister, even if you like it, you have to get the consent of others, you know?" ”
"Okay. Got it. Yunxi was a little deflated, he didn't see the pepper poured, and he didn't think about it; Now that I've seen it, I can't eat it, isn't it too painful.
"Look at you like that," Lin is a child who cares, seeing Yunxi's depressed appearance, he felt distressed again, "I'll find a way for you, let's go play first, and let your father take you to buy flowers." ”
"Hey!" Yunxi deeply realized that physical needs were the foundation at this moment, and his appetite was not satisfied, so he really didn't have the energy to buy any flowers and plants, and the chili peppers were already full of his head.
