Chapter 10: Red Mansion 10
arrival
Soon, they went ashore, and behind them was Chen, and she turned sideways to give way to a large peony emerald green smoke veil Bixia Luo, mopping the floor pink narcissus scattered flowers and green leaf skirt, wearing a thin gold silk smoke green veil. The woman with low-hanging sideburns and oblique pearl jasper hairpins, and a flower and moon appearance out of the water hibiscus, walked out.
Mrs. Lin, sure enough, she has a long national color and fragrant temperament, and the young lady of the Principality Mansion is different.
Xiaohong walked over slowly with Shizuka, this period of study has made Xiaohong change a lot, at least on the surface.
"Meet the old lady, meet the young master Lin." Shizuka opened her mouth and positioned herself.
When Lin Ruhai heard this, he frowned and said, "You kid, how can you call people like this?" I'm your uncle. When the old lady heard this, she frowned, "Ahem, well, it's a bit windy here, let's go back home first!"
Shizuka knew that these people would not recognize her as soon as she saw the old lady's attitude, so she was relieved. Lin Ruhai saw Shizuka's face like this, and said with an embarrassed face, "Shizuka, don't take it to heart, when I settle down, I'll go to Suzhou to see you." I'm your uncle" bit the word uncle hard and stroked her bun.
Shizuka nodded lightly, "Then uncle, go ahead, I'll go back to Zhuangzi first." You know about my mother, so I won't say more, and I'll fast at home when I go back!"
Lin Ruhai nodded, "Pay attention to your body, I have time to see you." ”
After speaking, Lin Ruhai caught up with the old lady and the Chen family and Mrs. Lin who didn't say a word to Shizuka.
Shizuka sighed loudly, fortunately, they didn't miscalculate their attitude, so that the old lady could endure the disgust and accept the Chen family and Shizune, but she would never accept Shizuka, Shizuka thought that the Lin family's heir was not without the old lady and Jia Min, if it wasn't for the fact that they didn't like concubines, didn't like concubines, and were jealous, how could they be extinct?
Knowing that his son was not in good health, he got married
It took five or six years to get a daughter, and he still didn't let his concubine be born, and Jia Min, who was used to it, did the same, and killed Lin Ruhai's concubine and walked away. Who wants such a housewife? It seems that the old lady is estimated to have the same character, and it is really not a family that does not enter the door. It deserves to go to the underworld and have no face to see the eighteenth generation of ancestors. Hehehe, this old lady has such a character, and she deserves to be the heir of the Lin family, if it weren't for the task, she really didn't want to care about their affairs.
Seeing this, he turned around and got into the sedan chair, went to the car dealership, took his own carriage, and returned to Suzhou Zhuangzi without mentioning it.
It seems that there is nothing to do for the time being, so many things are on the agenda, such as learning the piano, learning embroidery, learning calligraphy, etc., building their own ten-mile peach forest, and experimenting with the peach blossom products that you directly want one by one.
March is the season of peach blossoms, Shizuka arrived home, immediately went to the peach forest, into the eyes of a pink, ten miles of peach forest, ten miles of peach blossoms, all over the mountains and fields of the scorching fragrance. Yes! Under the peach blossom tree, there was also a person wearing a green emerald cigarette shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, water mist and green grass, wearing a thin veil of emerald water, with shoulders slashed into a waist and a skin like a condensed gas. A coquettish and boneless beauty, the beauty is looking at the peach blossoms. I don't know if it's the beauty of the flowers, or the people are more beautiful. Tut-tut, it's really spring in March, smoke and haze, although there are ten miles of scorching peach blossoms, only the beauty tree is under the view.
"You are the one who Steward Wu found to clean the peach forest? Can you play the piano? Shizuka looked at this beauty with sparkling eyes, and turned her head to let Xiaocui go and hug the piano.
The beauty is very thoughtful, "You are a young lady, slave, slave Taohong has seen a young lady." After saying that, he blushed and bowed, blushing for almost shouting out of the slave family.
Shizuka waved her hand with her little face and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just want to hear you play the piano first." Xiao Cui quickly brought the piano and put it on the stone pier dedicated to the piano, the peach set the piano, sat on the ground, took a deep breath, and then gently stroked it with both hands, the unknown tune, relatively monotonous, only monophonic, not really stroking the piano with both hands, alas, disappointed.
However, Peach was immersed in the song and couldn't extricate herself, and the more she played, the more addicted she became.
Shizuka couldn't disturb her when she saw that she was so engrossed, so she left gently with Xiaocui. She is hungry, she has to eat, and she has to take good care of her living habits.
Lin Mansion, the old lady went back to her room with her old lady after dinner, and the old lady helped the old lady and said, "Madam, today you wiped the child's face, and the young master was a little unhappy." ”
"Hmph, it's just a concubine, it's okay, my son I know, love and righteousness, his eldest brother's last words are to take care of this concubine, so he is relieved, but what kind of family are we? Five generations of candidates, after loyalty, the concubine must be distinct, and if the concubine is deviated, it will be the appearance of a chaotic family! It's a pity that Hai'er is in poor health, and Min'er is not in good health, what can I do with this heir? I can't worry about my own children, and I still care about other people's concubines? This concubine's daughter-in-law, admit it, I will never recognize it, I will let Hai'er stay away from her, but I can't let Hai'er find out, I have to slowly occupy his time, tell your son, if Hai'er is going to Suzhou, just inform me, I will arrange it. ”
The old lady listened and shook her head, alas, her young lady has been so hard all her life, she was spoiled by her master in her last life, and in the second half of her life, her son was respectful and filial, and she did not live in vain in this life.
If it weren't for the old man who drank too much, the concubine wouldn't have been able to give birth, but because of this, the old lady lost her temper and drove away the concubine and the concubine, and only gave a sum of money to finish the job. Now that people are gone, it's still like this. Alas, the issue of the Lin family's heirs is really a big problem. But the old lady is still angry and doesn't recognize the child, and she is still so willful when she is old, only the young master and the old man can stand it.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min returned to the room, Jia Min began to remove her makeup, and the maid next to her withdrew after fetching water for the husband and wife, Jia Min said to Lin Ruhai, "Husband, you are so good to that girl today, are you not afraid of angering the old lady?" After saying that, he smiled and shook his head.
"I promised my eldest brother to take care of her, she is an orphan girl, and she can't see it, we just take care of it a little, she has a strong temperament, and she doesn't want others to sympathize with her, so she can be treated as a general. If you have time to help me pay more attention, in the past few years, the Wang family has gone to the temple to fast for three years, and there is only a little girl at home, which is inconvenient. ”
When Jia Min heard this, he was taken aback, "Leave your young daughter to fast at this time?" Liar, right? It can't be a steal, right? ”
Lin Ruhai was impatient when he heard what she said, it was all a woman's opinion, and he frowned and said, "I have already checked, and I did go to the Puguang Temple on the citrus mountain in Suzhou to fast, and I also lit an ever-bright lamp for my mother, and prayed for blessings together!" It's a little far away, that Puguang Temple is a big temple, more famous, but the location is a little off, but it is estimated that the picture is cheap, after all, it is a concubine. ”
Seeing that Lin Ruhai also ran to check it out, Jia Min pursed his lips and glanced at him, "You are really troublesome, what do they say, how do we listen, you are an uncle and go to check the eldest brother's concubine, what do you want to do?" I'm not afraid of being known, and I'll see you. Taking care of your sister-in-law is your loyalty, thinking that silence can help you, who knows, take her to the Zhongshun palace once and seduce the Zhongshun king, cut, what kind of upbringing is this? I don't know if it's hard to go out in Xiaoli, so I just asked casually, she had to follow, just go, right? Do you have to run around, or is it not in your right mind? As soon as I go out to a banquet, people will ask questions, and my face will be lost. While speaking, he glanced at Lin Ruhai with disdain, and said in his heart, look at this is the upbringing of the concubine.
Since Lin Ruhai and Jia Min got married, they have always been in deep love, raising their eyebrows, and the husband and wife have never blushed, but after this incident, the husband and wife will always have a quarrel. Lin Ruhai was embarrassed, and he didn't want to be hurt and angry, Jia Min was said two words outside, and when he came back, he would talk to him for a few words, so he always let him.
"Okay, okay, it's wrong for the husband, don't mention it again, let's go out of the capital, and no one dares to say anything about you. In Yangzhou, you are the biggest. Madame, it's late at night. After saying that, he hugged Jia Min, Jia Min blushed and slapped him lightly on the chest, "Shameless." Lin Ruhai picked up Jia Min... Looking down at her, she was delicate and lovely, she became popular overnight, and she was also ecstatic in the hibiscus tent.
Shizuka had a good night's sleep, got up early and started exercising, in order not to get sick, she got up and ran every day, in her own backyard peach forest, breathing the air full of flowers, the peach blossoms in her eyes were delicate, she took a deep breath, and ran desperately into the forest.
When you get tired, stop and stroll back. After the workout in the morning, I threw the peach blossoms I picked off into the bathtub and took a comfortable bath directly, and I was immediately refreshed. The spirit is very good, after breakfast, I don't know what time it is, it's really bad to have no watch in this ancient world, and I still have to learn how to read the time.
Anyway, after breakfast, I started to practice calligraphy, sat down and recalled how to make wine in Peach Blossom, there are restaurants at home, Suzhou and Beijing, make it early, make money early.
It's not too good to do business under the guise of the niece of the salt patrol imperial history. Well, first of all, pick fresh peach blossoms and put them in bottles; Then add an appropriate amount of wine, not over the peach blossoms; After waiting for a month, remove the peach petals and put the filtered sake in a jar or glass bottle for later use. The process is simple, but the wine here is not strong, and the man probably doesn't like to drink it, if only he could distill it, it seems that two kinds of wine must be released.
This distillation is not easy to do, distillation is to use the liquid distillation method, filter the fermented material, and press. The liquor is distilled in a special micro-still. When distilling, it is first boiled over high heat, and after boiling, it is switched to medium heat, and soon the liquor is steamed out continuously.
This has to be an experiment, let's make the peach blossom wine that the woman drinks first, and the literati bachelor also has to drink it. By the way, let Sister-in-law Li hurry up and start the experiment of that peach blossom cake.
Instructed Xiaocui to call Sister-in-law Li, went to the peach forest together, picked a few good peach blossoms with her own hands, and went back to the kitchen
Then get the juice out of the petals and mix in the milk. Don't want the scum. Pour the mixed peach blossom milk into the pot, add the lotus root powder, add the sugar powder to the peach blossom milk and stir well, so that the lotus root powder and milk can be fully integrated, and then cook over low heat until thick, stir quickly and continuously during the cooking process to prevent the pot from sticking, and must be low heat throughout the whole process to prevent the pot from sticking, until it is thick and smooth, and then pour the boiled peach blossom cake into the container, and let it cool to solidify. Then pour it out and cut it into pieces, and then paste some peach blossoms after cutting into pieces to make it more beautiful.
Sister-in-law Li listened to the process of the young lady in surprise, thinking that this young lady is really not simple, such a good prescription was told to her so easily, and her heart was excited for a while. I secretly swore to serve Miss well and be worthy of Miss's trust.
