Xue's mouth is really dull these days. On weekdays, I am used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and I have never lost my mouth. In the past few days, it has suddenly become hard, and there is no meat in the dishes, and I feel like eating dry firewood.

There is a saying that "it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift", which is probably what it means. Before climbing outside the summer membership, the family road declined, and he didn't come from a hard life.

The two daughters have never suffered hardship, and they are all bitter. had no choice but to let Xue Zhao buy meat from the street and come back, call his two daughters, and hide in the house to secretly satisfy his hunger. I looked forward to the old thing's interest and consciously went back to the big house.

Thinking of this, she felt a little resentful in her heart that An Sheng had provoked the old lady over, and put this account down heavily and kept it in her heart.

Today, Xue Zhao came over and brought smoked pig's feet, hooves, and small bad fish.

Ziwu likes to eat pig's feet the most, while Zixian only likes to eat the few lean meats in the hoof.

The three of them closed the door of the house, let Mrs. Lian guard the door, opened the lotus leaves, and complained while eating.

"Eating meat is like being a thief." Xia Zixian was a little angry.

"That's it, mother, why don't you find an excuse tomorrow, let's go out to the restaurant to eat, the taste of the Buddha jumping over the wall in the Star Pavilion last time is simply amazing." Xia Ziwu grabbed the pig's feet with both hands and gnawed them, and her lips were oily.

"In fact, Xia Ansheng's little slut's skills are not inferior to those chefs, the last time Mrs. Meng came to the mansion to see her, the dishes she made really showed off her skills, and even Mrs. Meng was full of praise." Xue Shi said slowly while chewing on the little bad fish.

As soon as the Meng family was mentioned, Xia Ziwu gritted her teeth with hatred: "Don't mention the Meng family to me, as soon as you say it, you will be angry." ”

Xue's expression was pale: "Ziwu, I can tell you, how willful you are in the house, your mother doesn't care, the wind can't get out of the door of our Xia family, but you are not allowed to go out and embarrass me!" ”

Xia Ziwu retorted angrily: "What's wrong with me? How did you lose your people? ”

"Don't think what you did last time you excused yourself to go out of the house, I don't know!" Xue snorted coldly: "If you are dressed up in a fancy way, you don't need others to report to me, and I also know what your plans are." ”

Xia Ziwu was a little weak-hearted: "When you go out, is it as sloppy as at home?" You see, my sister and I have been wearing a beaded flower on our heads for the past few days, and we have to weigh it again. ”

She wanted to change the topic, but in the end she couldn't do it, and Xue still taught bitterly: "You ran to the gate of Meng Jinglun's academy, there are so many students coming and going, a big girl's family, standing there and being secretly judged by a man, and you are not ashamed!" Meng Jinglun shouldn't have given you a good look, right? ”

Xue Shi spoke mercilessly, and Xia Ziwu said angrily: "I just went, I just went to find Meng Jinglun, so what?" Could it be that you can only stay in the house every day, waiting for the 'opportunity' you say? After a long time, Meng Jinglun is afraid that he will forget me. ”

"It's better to forget, isn't the past shameful enough?" Xia Zixian made up a knife faintly: "Go and go around the people, and the people who come to the door will not be welcome." ”

"Xia Zixian, you are squirting feces all over your mouth, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Ziwu was already annoyed and angry when she heard Xue reprimanding herself, and now that Xia Zixian also intervened, she was suddenly anxious. "Pout" stood up and threw the bone in his hand towards Xia Zixian's face.

Xia Zixian reached out to block it, and the bone hit the back of the chair, and then fell under Xia Zixian's feet.

"Shut up!" Xue Shi snorted coldly: "So much meat can't stop your mouth!" ”

Xia Ziwu sat down stupidly: "What do you see she said?" ”

Xue Shi glared at Xia Zixian, and then turned around and reprimanded Xia Ziwu: "What your sister said, that is not rough!" It's not that you can't get married, why do you have to keep an eye on that Meng Jinglun? It's not about buying and selling. ”

Xia Ziwu snorted coldly and said proudly: "You don't know, the last time I went to Meng Jinglun Academy, I saw that they were posting a list at the door, and what was hung was the exam results of those students in the academy, and Meng Jinglun was the leader. I heard those scholars on the side talk that Meng Jinglun will be on the list for the spring next year, and it will be ironclad, and maybe he can even get a champion and a flower. ”

"What you said is true?" Xue asked in surprise.

"Why do you think I'm so ambitious? You said that like Meng Jinglun's knowledge, and he is a descendant of the Meng family, if he is appreciated by the emperor, this future must be immeasurable. Isn't Xia Anran the lady of the champion? I'm afraid that the two sisters will be trampled under our feet for the rest of our lives, and we won't be able to lift our heads. ”

"Who can be blamed for this? Didn't you do it yourself? Xia Zixian unceremoniously uncovered Xia Ziwu's scar: "Otherwise, you will be the one who wants to glorify the court today, why not look at the glory of others?" ”

Xia Ziwu suddenly became anxious again: "You talk nonsense again, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" ”

Xia Zixian didn't have to pretend in front of Xia Ziwu, and immediately sneered: "It's just telling the truth, seeing that you came back that day, you were disgraced and angry, and I also know that people must not have given you a good look." I'm afraid that I will be embarrassed in front of everyone. ”

What Xia Zixian said was the truth, that day, she waited in the teahouse at the entrance of the academy for an afternoon, and finally waited for Meng Jinglun to come out, and couldn't wait to rush over.

As soon as she slapped the table, she wanted to attack Xia Zixian.

Outside the door, even the mother-in-law laughed in her voice: "Old lady, oops, why are you here with this black light?" ”

All three people in the room were stunned. Or Xue Shi was the first to react: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and pick things up! If it is discovered, it will be ugly. ”

Xia Zixian also immediately came to her senses, and the three of them hurriedly wrapped the food on the table with lotus leaves along with the bones, and looked left and right, but there was no suitable place to stuff it, so they stuffed it under the table and blocked it tightly with the table skirt.

"Mouth! Hurry up and wipe your mouth! ”

Xia Zixian pointed at Xia Ziwu's oily mouth.

Xia Ziwu didn't care about anything, raised her sleeve and wiped the oil stains on her mouth.

Outside the door, the footsteps were getting closer.

Lian Pozi reminded loudly: "It's dark in the yard, you wait a while, I'll go and turn on the lights quickly, and be careful of the steps." ”

"No need, Sister Zheng has a lantern in her hand." The old lady said as she walked: "You can go while you are busy." ”

Hearing that he had already arrived at the door, Xue hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door wide, smiling at the old lady: "Mother, why is it so late, your old man hasn't rested yet?" ”

As soon as the door opened, a mouth-watering smell of smoke came to your face.

The lo-mei that Zhen has accumulated is famous throughout the capital, because every day when the pot is opened, the fried millet brown sugar, mixed with the squeaky oil, after the licking of firewood, the incense emitted can overflow the entire street.

The old lady snorted coldly in her heart, and suddenly sank her face: "I have nothing to do, come out for a walk, I just came to you, and when I saw the light on in your house, I came to take a look." ”

Xue Shi smiled awkwardly: "I am taking the school Ziwu and Zixian daytime homework, and it has disturbed your old man." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the fishy smell of the little bad fish came out.

"It's just right, it also opened the eyes of the old woman and saw how you taught the two sisters." The old lady said as she walked inside, but the Xue family didn't dare to stop her, so she hurriedly flashed and got out of the way.

Xia Ziwu and Xia Zixian were standing at the table, and there were half-embroidered bandages and a few colors of silk threads on the table.

The two of them saluted the old lady and were extremely well-behaved.

"Have you had dinner?" The old lady asked nonchalantly.

"As soon as the sun went down, I ate it." Purple slender voice is delicate and authentic.

The old lady nodded: "Even if the family is poor, but these two children are growing up, and the second family can't be treated badly." ”

Xue's heart as a thief was weak, and he only felt that the old lady had something to say, so he could only respond with a smile: "What you always said is that even if you have wronged yourself, you must not wronged the child." ”

The old lady glanced around: "Don't let the children work too hard, especially Zixian, she has a bad body and can't stand it." ”

Xue Shi responded as usual, and hurriedly put the old lady aside on the couch: "Your old man sits here, and let Ziwu pour you a cup of tea." ”

"Don't bother, I just drank the tea." The old lady was still standing: "Say a few words and leave." ”

The little white dog circled around the yard, and then jumped into the house as well, and picked up the pig's trotters that Xia Ziwu used to beat purple fiber, and lay down to gnaw it with relish.

The lights in the room were dim, and it was not real, An Zheng stepped forward and hurried: "Doudou, why are you eating indiscriminately!" ”

Doudou was reluctant to let go this time, so he picked it up and "staggered" and got under the table.

This frightened Xia Ziwu and Xia Zixian, and they hurriedly rushed out: "Get out, get out!" ”
