Chapter 14: Red Mansion 14

ancestor worship

Shizuka was busy in the morning, made a chicken, for this chicken that was specially to go to the peach forest near the next person to dig a hole, she wrapped the chicken pickled in the kitchen, but unfortunately there is no lotus leaf in this season, can only use banana leaves, this banana leaf or the first day let the next person go to the mountain to find a day to find, at night has been soaked in salt water, afraid that it is not fresh. Then they were covered with mud, and the hole was covered with earth, and a fire was built on it, and on the fire was a barbecue grill made by Shizuka, on which chicken wings, duck wings, and some wild boar and badger meat were roasted.

Let the next person watch the fire, the cook roasted the meat, she went back to the kitchen to continue to cook a big meal, all with a light taste, then steamed hibiscus shrimp is indispensable, and then a cold salad three silks, Beijing sauce shredded pork bun, ginseng black chicken soup, squirrel osmanthus fish, yam fried fungus, steamed three bacteria, in the peach gum bird's nest lotus seed soup, fried a few spring rolls should be the occasion, to the family music, afraid that he will not eat, so he made a pepper and salt mashed potatoes, delicious and soft glutinous.

When these were done, it was already noon, and I called Wang and Jia Le to come over, a large table of dishes, many of which could not be named, Jia Le put a plate of roasted chicken wings and duck wings in front of him, and the roasted game was sliced and plated, and it looked very palatable.

Jia Le pointed to a Tugala and asked, "Sister, sister, what is this?" Is it mud? Can this mud be eaten? Shizuka smiled and nodded, glanced at Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui immediately ordered the cook to come over and help open the soil gala, only to see the soil cracked, bursts of fragrance came to the nose, it was the fragrance of banana leaves, opened the banana leaves and smelled the deliciousness of the chicken, this deliciousness has a hint of sweetness, it is brushed with a layer of honey. I saw that the cook broke open the belly of the chicken, and there was a quail in it, and the quail was opening a belly of small rice balls, and the small rice balls were made of yams, and it absorbed the essence of chickens and quails, so it was a small bowl, 15, Shizuka was served to Wang, and Wang was divided into three parts, five for one person, and Jia Le's mouth was full of oil.

A table of dishes, Knorr finished eating chicken wings, duck wings and squirrel fish, his swollen stomach was full, and he stood up on the chair.

Shizuka watched Knorr eat so happily, and her heart had already softened, as if she hadn't thought of her son for a long, long time, and she didn't know how her son was doing, and how sad the old parents should be. I couldn't help but shed tears for a while. The frightened Wang jumped up, and all the subordinates were at a loss, I don't know why I made Miss cry, Miss has never cried since the death of the master, what's wrong? Isn't the food delicious? No, the dish was made by the lady herself, so it was uncomfortable? Xiao Cui hurriedly called someone to ask for a doctor.

Shizuka, who was frightened, stopped them, and only Jia Le came out and said, "Sister, is it because I didn't finish the dishes?" It's wasted, so you're angry and crying? But I really can't eat it, the next time my sister cooks the dishes, I eat them all, okay? Sister, don't cry. After saying that, Knorr ran to Shizuka's side and hugged Shizuka, and gently touched her back.

She burst into tears and laughed, hugged him with her hand, and nodded desperately, suppressing her emotion.

Time flashed to the day of ancestor worship, Shizuka met Lin Ruhai a few days ago, and told him what had happened in recent years, because it involved the heirs, and it was related to his task, she had to find Lin Ruhai, she thought about it for several months, and felt that Lin Ruhai was credible, and besides, there was only one boy in the two families, and Lin Ruhai was not stupid, and pushed the matter to the Chen family, and the concealment in the past few years was passed, and then the name of Jiale was to be raised, and to ensure the safety of Jiale, his Lin Mansion is definitely not safe now. So I have to take Jia Le back to the capital, because Jiangnan is about to be in chaos.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai had to admire her niece's foresight, but fortunately, she had the ability to strategize so that the heirs of the Lin family could be preserved.

So he readily agreed to give him a name, a word, and find the best gentleman and escort for Knorr.

Shizuka saw that he agreed happily, so she immediately said goodbye, and slipped away while Lin Ruhai hadn't come to her senses. can fool a Tanhualang, that is, there is no one except Shizuka. Whoever made Shizuka from the beginning is a little pitiful appearance, which makes people sympathize. In fact, Lin Ruhai's face darkened when she turned around and walked out of the door, and then she sighed again, this is fooling him, saying that the house is not safe, I am afraid that the Chen family will harm Jia Le, at present, Jia Le is the only male heir, before he gave birth to a child, this family music status is absolutely the highest, and the protection measures will definitely be the highest! The little guy spoke in a circle and asked him to run, and he actually ran with him. Alas, her mother has a hard life, she doesn't want to be a slave, she doesn't want to be a dwarf herself, her own brother must be put in front of her to be at ease, just let her go, she doesn't trust the house, forget it. Madame, I haven't had a good taste lately, I don't know if it will be there, I want to ask the doctor to take a look, so I don't have to bother her with these things.

Lin Ruhai saw Jia Le on the day of ancestor worship, long and round, facial features like a big brother, a little shy, it is estimated that he has been in the inner house for a long time, it seems that this enlightenment teacher should be found as soon as possible, otherwise the child will be wasted. But no, what knowledge is there in the hands of women? That's what the old saying goes.

took Jia Le into the ancestral hall, recorded the family tree for Jia Le, named Lin Jueyu, the word Qingyun. Shizuka saw that the biggest thing had been done, her mind was a little happy and a little uneasy, and she carefully moved to Lin Ruhai's side, Lin Ruhai saw her childish appearance, so she only grinded her teeth angrily, "If you tell me well, I won't agree?" You have to take me around in a circle, hmph, aren't you afraid of me changing my hexagram? ”

When Shizuka heard what he said, the stone in her heart was put down, "There, uncle, I don't know a lot of things and don't know much about it, I said it bluntly, I'm afraid that you will be angry, and I'm afraid that if things are not done, my mother will flood the Great Wall." I know my uncle's belly, and I won't worry about my villain and a woman, hehehe!"

Lin Ruhai shook his head with a wry smile, "You, just don't worry about it, you don't have to worry about it when you get to the capital, I'll arrange it, take care of yourself and Jiale." After saying that, she touched her head, which made Shizuka's heart rise with guilt, and after thinking about it, she went to ask Xiaocui to bring a cup of tea.

Shizuka thinks about Lin Ruhai, it's really interesting, it's just too filial and too affectionate, otherwise how can she break her body? The two women kept saying that they loved Lin Ruhai, and they were both holding the brand of love to be themselves. Why can't love be tolerant? Why did love make him wear out his body? Why does love only care about its own sadness and leave its children behind? Isn't it just for mothers? Alas, it's all, and I don't know what will happen if you give him this water!

Shizuka took the water cup and slowly walked towards Lin Ruhai, who was talking to Jia Le. Shizuka seemed to be casual, but in fact, she intentionally handed the water cup to Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai smiled and lowered his head to take a sip, and saw his long entourage coming, and when he saw the teacup on the desk, he only took a small sip, alas, this plot gentleman, he was really convinced.

Forget it, I've done my best. Out of sight is clean, I just need to protect Knorr. The head of the head seemed to be very happy, Lin Ruhai also laughed, Lin Ruhai came over and told her that Jia Min was pregnant again. Is Lin Ruhai's son about to be born? Time has advanced again.

Shizuka hurriedly congratulated him and asked him to go back quickly, don't let his aunt worry, they left by boat the day after tomorrow, so he didn't have to send it, and it wasn't that he wouldn't see each other in the future.

Lin Ruhai thought about it, and when he came out again, the old lady knew about it, and he was afraid that his ears would not be quiet. I said goodbye to everyone in the ancestral shrine.

When they returned to Zhuangzi, everyone was tired, so they ate something and went to bed early, and there were still many things to do tomorrow, those who stayed behind, those who took them away, those who were in charge of business, and a bunch of things. It seemed that something had been forgotten, and I didn't know what it was, so I simply didn't want to, so I rolled over and fell asleep.

Shizuka got up late in the morning, so I went to exercise today, got up and drank a glass of water, and suddenly remembered that the water on the table, she didn't seem to splash it, and she didn't care, I don't know if it will make people notice the difference, careless. Alas, it's good that they'll be gone tomorrow.

She asked Uncle Wu to buy a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of the capital early, and bought it according to the way it is here, the capital is not at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the Zhuangzi in Suzhou cost less than 5,000 taels at that time, and the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing actually cost 30,000 taels, although it brought a hot spring. It took 20,000 taels to get it done in the later construction, but fortunately, in recent years, essential oils have been sold to the capital, a small bottle costs 1,000 taels, and the price is nothing, they put a bottle on the black market at least 5,000 taels, and Steward Zhao secretly operated for himself to make a lot of money, and bought a set of houses and shops in the capital, all of which let the second son be in charge.

Thinking of this, she got up and called Xiaohong, "Xiaohong, you have been with me for so long, you are going to get married next year, at least you can't serve me for four or five years, I think so, listen, I want you to stay and watch my Zhuangzi here, you know that this Zhuangzi is my hard work, after we leave, it will be the eldest son of Steward Zhao in charge, you know I don't like to use people who don't have a deed, but Steward Zhao is the one who helped me to take the position, I can only control Lao Tzu, I can't control my son, and I don't want him to sign the death deed again, When Mama Qu trains those 10 boys for me, I will replace him, but before that, you have to help me keep an eye on him, if he guards and steals, you have to find the young master of the Lin family, maybe he won't, but you have to guard against his daughter-in-law, her daughter-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, I can hold it, I'm gone, alas, this money is moving, with an income of hundreds of thousands a year, if you want you, you will also be tempted, right? ”

Xiaohong was shocked when she heard this, Miss can make so much money every year, Miss is telling her, just trust her, okay, if you don't follow, don't follow, help Miss guard her Zhuangzi. "Miss, I, I won't be tempted, even if I do, I won't be able to get the money, so Miss can rest assured that the Zhuangzi will be handed over to me to guard."

Shizuka looked at Xiaohong with relief, she hasn't changed, she has always been so simple and straightforward. "Okay, Xiaohong, I transferred this Zhuangzi to your name, and in the future, he needs peach blossoms to make things, and you will start collecting money, are you happy? Xiaohong, this Zhuangzi is my wedding gift for you. Oh, don't cry, come, Miss hug, don't cry, the makeup is gone. ”

Xiaohong cried a lot in Shizuka's arms and finally cried, "Little, Miss, I can't have this Zhuangzi, I know you want to help me, but I also want to help you!" Silly girl, if you help me, you have to take over this house, my peach forest is the most valuable in this village, as long as you do what I say, you will be fine. Their workshop came to Taolin to collect petals, and they charged 10 taels per catty, they didn't give it, you let the dog bite, I said hello to the young master of the Lin family, Zhuangzi transferred you to take care of, if someone forcibly grabbed it, report it directly to the official. If you hurt yourself, you will immediately set fire to the peach forest, don't be a pity, I can build it here, and I can build it in the capital, don't be so sad. You don't have to give me the money to sell the peach blossoms, that's what I gave you, if you give it back to me, I'll be angry, you have to be good, I'll wait for you in the capital. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and wiped his handkerchief.
