Chapter 49: The Future Is Unknown

Qu Wei came to the upper room, and Mrs. Qu couldn't help but teach her a good life.

However, the words were much more gentle and kind than Fang's.

Lu Jiayue never thought that her unintentional actions would lead Qu Wei to learn from her, so she couldn't help but feel a little blamed in her heart, and after Mrs. Qu taught Qu Wei, she stepped forward and took Qu Wei's hand, and smiled apologetically: "It's not Sister Wei's fault, it's all my fault, I am not good, I picked a head, so I let Sister Wei..."

"It's not to blame Sister Lu," Qu Wei pursed her lips and interrupted Lu Jiayue's words, "If there is anything wrong with Sister Lu, it is Sister Lu's partiality." ”

Lu Jiayue was stunned.

The three girls of the Qu family, Qu Ying is her cousin, that is incomparable to others, Qu Qian and Qu Wei, she asked herself to value Qu Wei more, and she was more close to Qu Wei in the past, why did Qu Wei say that she was eccentric?

Lu Jiayue smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what my sister means by this?" ”

Qu Wei made a straight face, pouted and said: "-You invited the second sister and sister Duan to eat roasted chestnuts and roasted taro, but you didn't invite me, and said that it wasn't partial..."

Before the words fell, the people in the room, including Mrs. Qu, couldn't help laughing.

Lu Jiayue really couldn't cry or laugh.

Although this Qu Wei is only one or two years younger than her, when it comes to her mind, she is still as naΓ―ve and simple as a child.

Old Madam Qu called Qu Wei to sit beside her, stroked her cheeks tenderly and lovingly, and sighed with a smile: "You little girl, when will you grow up..."

I heard Qu Ying smile and said: "Third sister, this eccentric remark should be said by me, your sister Lu didn't invite you to eat roasted chestnuts and roasted taro, why did you invite me." ”

Although Qu Wei is young, she also knows the difference between intimacy and intimacy, and looks at Qu Ying suspiciously, "Didn't I really invite you-", seeing Qu Ying shook her head, she laughed, "Then I feel better in my heart, it turns out that Sister Lu is not just partial to me." ”

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but smile and said solemnly: "After the meal later, I will invite my sister and sister Wei to my house, and I will personally bake something for you to eat." ”

Qu Wei jumped up with joy, she had never eaten a good lunch, so she pulled Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying to Chuntang Residence.

Lu Jiayue knew that Qu Wei wanted to eat roast pheasant cubs, so she quietly sent the little maid to the small kitchen to ask for a few chicken legs, and brought some salt and spices back by the way.

The lid on the charcoal stove was removed, the taro and chestnuts were buried in the charcoal and baked, and then the bamboo branches as thick as chopsticks were folded and washed, and the chicken legs were skewered into the bamboo branches, which were held by the two little maids, and they sat by the charcoal stove, and roasted them on the charcoal fire, and sprinkled with a little salt and spices from time to time.

The charcoal fire burned vigorously, and it didn't take long to roast the chicken thighs, and the chicken thighs were bubbling with oil, and the burnt aroma was tangy, which attracted people's appetite fingers.

Qu Wei ate with relish, but Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying just sat on the side and watched with a smile.

Qu Wei tore off a chicken leg meat, handed it to Lu Jiayue, and said with a smile: "Taste it, it's fragrant." ”

Lu Jiayue took it in her hand, tore out half of it, and handed it to Qu Ying, and when they tasted it, they both felt crispy and delicious.

Qu Ying smiled and said: "My sister is still smart, and only my sister can think of this method of roasting meat with a charcoal stove." ”

Lu Jiayue wiped her hands with a handkerchief, took a sip of hot tea, and said with a smile: "I just thought, the chestnuts and taro are all roasted, and the food next to them is naturally roasted, and it is better to roast them on a charcoal stove than to make an open fire." ”

Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying were talking, and Qu Wei was nibbling on the chicken leg and eating very heartily.

Qu Ying couldn't help laughing: "I'm not envious of the third sister's appetite, I just envy her carefree temperament all day long and don't know what to worry about." ”

"Is there anything worth worrying about the eldest sister," Qu Wei looked at Qu Ying with a pair of clever and flickering eyes, but her mouth and hand didn't stop, "Actually, I also had a time when I was worried, like every time my mother controlled me and asked me to read the female commandments and copy the calligraphy, I was so worried that I wanted to cry..."

"However, when I wake up at night, I don't want to cry anymore... As long as my mother doesn't care about me one day, I will be happy one day, and if my mother takes care of me again tomorrow, I will be sad tomorrow... You can't worry about tomorrow before the past is over, and then even today will be wasted..."

"Life in the world is to seek happiness by yourself, how can you ever be happy to rush to find someone..."

As if talking to herself, Qu Wei was feasting on it while babbling inarticulately.

Qu Ying was very surprised when she heard these words, and said with a smile: "I really can't see it, the third sister has these realizations at a young age." ”

"I don't know what to realize, but what I think in my heart, I just say it." Qu Wei chuckled, dropped a chicken leg bone, and took a roasted and browned chicken leg from the little girl's hand.

However, these seemingly unbelieving words instantly touched Lu Jiayue's heart.

Oh, yes... Because I am sad about what will not happen tomorrow, I have wasted this day, how worthless... Life is short, but how many of them can be wasted today?

Even if you can't change anything on your own right now, there is at least a brief moment of fun today.

Moreover, the future is not yet known, and there may be a turnaround at some point.

Reliving a life, above the various conditions of the world, I should have seen more clearly than others, but I was woken up by what a little girl said inadvertently.

I'm a little ashamed.

Lu Jiayue was in a stable mood, and she had a sense of seeing the sun and the sun, and she smiled and instructed Xin Zhu: "In the evening, invite my sister and sister Wei to have dinner here, you send someone to the small kitchen to tell Aunt Zhu, and ask her to make a few more dishes according to the taste of my sister and sister Wei." ”

When it was time for dinner, the dishes were on the table, because there was a light taste of osmanthus glutinous rice porridge, Lu Jiayue asked Xin Zhu to put out a plate of the eight-treasure pickles brought from Jiangnan, and with the porridge, Qu Ying and Qu Wei really ate neatly and refreshingly.

After the three of them had dinner, they drank tea, talked and laughed, and when they reached Hai, the fourth lady Fang sent someone to pick up Qu Wei back, and Fang Cai dispersed.

Turning the day, it is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the day of sacrifice to the god of the stove.

Fang's family, who was in charge of family affairs, became more and more busy with his feet not touching the ground, and at the same time, the New Year's goods were sent from the grange, and Fang's was lacking in skills, so Meng also went to help one or two.

Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying were idle, so they took out the embroidery that was not finished last time and did it slowly. Needlework needs to be done the most carefully, which can make Lu Jiayue calm down and not think about some useless things, and secondly, in the first month, the Qu family will inevitably have relatives and friends who have old female relatives to come and go, send a Jinpa, give a sachet, and make things by yourself, which can best express mutual respect and friendship.

A few little maids cut the window flowers on the side, especially the cicadas who opened the curtains to pass the words, and their hands were the most skillful, as if they could cut out any kind of window flowers.

Lu Jiayue pointed to a window flower of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and said with a smile: "This can be sent to my brother and sister-in-law," and pointed to a magpie climbing the branch of the window flower, "This is posted here for my aunt," and I saw that there was another five-bat holding a birthday, and I liked it more and more, so I let Xin Zhu hold it and send it to Mrs. Qu's upper room.

It happened that the small kitchen made new bean paste dough and sticky sugar melons dedicated to the god of the stove, Aunt Zhu thought that the little girl's family loved sweets, so she sent someone to send two plates, Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying were happy, so they both rewarded the cicada.

After four or five days like this, every day I either do needlework or laugh with the little maids, although I only make two square handkerchiefs and a sachet, Lu Jiayue's embroidery is rare and lean.
