Chapter 42: Sisters Talk
Cui Jiu pursed his mouth, saying that Ah Qiao sharpened his knives at home every day and sent Huo Huo to pigs and sheep, and he believed it; But you want to say embroidery? Hey, it's better to say that he Cui Jiu is as beautiful as a flower.
With her fat hand holding a clay pot and smashing it on people's heads, can she hold the embroidery needle?
Seeing that the culprit He Zhichun had already entered the house, Cui Jiu did not continue to fight with He Yu, patted Li Siwen on the shoulder, and said triumphantly: "Let's go, the master will take you to eat Yuezhou's famous food." You're guaranteed to swallow your tongue. ”
Li Siwen coughed, saluted He Yu, and settled his subordinates again, before leaving with Cui Jiu.
"What sir? You haven't grown a single hair, who can be your master! Let's go get some Junshan silver needles first, and then get some marinade packets you sent back, my aunt likes it very much. ”
He Zhichun walked through the wall listening to Li Siwen talk and walk, until he couldn't hear it anymore, then he turned around and looked at He Zhiqiu and said: "Filial piety is soft-hearted, after all, he is not a big traitor, and with him to take care of him along the way, Sister Ah can be regarded as relieved." ”
He Zhiqiu smiled, "I said that I want Sister Mo to worry." So many people can't protect me, and that's my life. ”
He Zhichun rubbed his eyes, "I'll go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes, let's two sisters have a good meal." ”
Because there are often people guarding the house, and he is afraid that someone will poison him, He Zhichun simply did not fake his hands and did it himself in the small kitchen.
Her movements were extremely skillful, a kitchen knife cut with a rattle, and the brush cut the pork into slices, and cut a handful of water celery, patted the garlic, put it in the pot and stir-fried, and after a while, the whole room was full of strong meat fragrance, and people drooled.
Then the pot was washed, and a wild bracken was fried, which was found all over the river embankment in the spring.
Then she opened the steamer, took out the steamed pork belly that she had steamed early in the morning, added a small plate of sour bamboo shoots, plus a small jar of sweet wine, and packed it back to the room in a food box.
"Sister, it's so fragrant, the gluttonous worms in my belly are going to be hooked out by you, and when I go to Chang'an, I won't be able to eat the delicious food made by my sister."
"Qiu Niang and forbearance, Lu Xun has already held a tea party, and now our Junshan silver needle in Yuezhou is hot, and when the state capital has the money, Daddy will ask Cui Yuanjun to use it to repair the embankment and build the road to buy good seeds. When Daddy is promoted, our whole family will go to Chang'an. ”
As she spoke, she set the dishes and sat down and poured a small bowl of sweet wine for He Zhiqiu.
This sweet wine is glutinous rice wine, which daughter-in-law and sister-in-law in Yuezhou gave birth to a fine girl, the wine stewed egg is a must, the sweet is not easy to get drunk, it is not harmful to eat a little bit with a thin mouth.
People like He Zhichun who love to eat must be at home.
"Maybe you don't have to wait for Daddy to be promoted, and the two of us will go to Chang'an." He Zhichun said, and sandwiched a piece of tamales for He Zhiqiu, "It's a pity that there is no lotus root now, otherwise the steamed lotus root is really delicious." ”
He Zhiqiu desperately stuffed it into his mouth, his whole face was swollen, and he recalled with a smile: "I still remember when the eldest sister got married, we had a banquet, and I ate a whole plate of steamed lotus root by myself, and my grandmother was so angry that I scolded all afternoon. ”
"When it was night, I secretly brought me a bowl, and while glaring, I said that this little guy, why is he so stupid, this is eating at his own house, not at someone else's house, and he is desperately stupid!"
She laughed and cried, "Last summer, the eldest sister invited us to the village to escape the heat, and Daddy drove us all with a donkey cart. In the big lotus pond, there are all pink and tender lotus roots as thick as the thighs of thin women, I sit on the boat and eat lotus flowers, and my brothers are digging lotus roots. Sister, you are the worst, you caught an eel and pretended to be a snake to scare them, and scared the second brother so much that he fell into the mud. ”
He Zhichun also laughed along, "The second brother loves beauty the most, and he was so angry that he didn't talk to me for several days." Let's go to the roadside together and pick a lot of wild bubbles for him to eat, and then he showed a smile. ”
He Zhiqiu nodded, "Well, it turned out that the eldest brother found out, and the eldest brother beat him, saying that he was shameless for bullying the little lady, and punished him to buy melons in the melon field." ”
"Exactly, the second brother is too thick-skinned and didn't bring a penny, so he relied on that face and coaxed two melons from his grandmother......" He Zhichun said, wiping his face.
"I don't know, is there such a sweet lotus root in Chang'an City, such a fragrant melon ......" He Zhiqiu said suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the voice became smaller and smaller, from sobbing, to whimpering, to finally silent.
He Zhichun patted his face, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and carefully wiped He Zhiqiu's face.
"Qiu Niang, going to Chang'an is full of difficulties and dangers, but you must live well, only by living, our sisters will have a goodbye day. Chang'an is full of famous and noble families, and all of them look down on people like Cui Jiu. ”
"If you open your mouth, they will laugh at your official dialect with a Yuezhou accent; As soon as you walk, they will laugh at you for being too big and undignified...... But you have to remember that these are not your fault, only people who are not strict in their family education will laugh at others at will. If the family invites you to study for a while, with Qiu Niang's intelligence, you will not lose the famous lady. ”
"In a big family, there are many people who are not aligned and have more distributions, so you should leave three points for being a person, and don't trust others casually. Qiu Niang ......"
He Zhichun was talking, but He Zhiqiu threw himself into her arms, hugged her waist tightly, and trembled, "Sister, I'm afraid ......"
He Zhichun touched her head, and couldn't say words of consolation, because what if she was afraid? Even if I'm afraid, I can only go forward.
In his previous life, Zhiqiu didn't go to Chang'an, and he died early when he stayed in Yuezhou at the age of twelve.
Judging from the personal escort of the son of the British prince, Zhiqiu really went to Chang'an, but the enemy did not dare to blatantly kill him.
She thought, in a trance, the words she said to Qiu Niang were all things she had personally experienced in her previous life.
Or the old man often says that the door is right?
She and Cui Jiumen were not in the right household, and both of them suffered a lot back then.
Speak with a local accent, the style of dresses and jewelry is not novel, the real and fake antiques can't be distinguished, the walking is too fast and too fast, and the sound of eating is too loud...... In short, every action you make is wrong in the eyes of those nobles, and you are ridiculed every day to the point that you almost suspect that you have lived to the belly of a dog in the previous years.
Fortunately, she had a big heart, endured it all, and then slapped her face back one by one. Cui Jiu is even more protective of calves, she lost ten points, and she returned 100 percent.
But how wide her heart is, how narrow He Zhiqiu's heart is, these subtle things are accumulated on her, it is really too cruel, she only hopes now that He Zhiqiu's identity is high enough, so high that no one dares to look at her with pride and prejudice.
