Chapter 41 Talent is more than immortal
Su Hongtu looked at Mingyue expectantly, Mingyue nodded lightly, and arched his hand to Su Tongsheng: "Congratulations, congratulations, a hundred years of good together, give birth to a noble son early, I will definitely give a congratulatory gift when the time comes." β
Su Hongtu's face was cracked, like a broken piece of porcelain. muttered: "Mingyue, you, are you telling the truth?" No, you must be angry. β
Mingyue scratched her head, and swallowed back the desperate words that she wanted to blurt out, wasn't what she said wrong? This is the most ordinary blessing, okay? Seeing Su Hongtu's injured face, Mingyue finally affirmed that the original Yin Mingyue had a really unusual relationship with this Su in childhood, no wonder the long-tongued women in the village chewed and chewed after dinner.
Mingyue frowned, and said in a tone as slow as possible: "Su Tongsheng, I am grateful to you for helping me write the form, but you can't make a promise for a piece of paper, right?" Isn't your mother's meaning clear? You step on your green cloud ladder, I cross my mountain road, from now on the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide with the fish jumping ......"
Su Hongtu's eyes lit up, his lips trembled with excitement, Mingyue thought he was heartbroken, but he heard the young man mutter: "'The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps', wonderful!" Mingyue is actually a female middle school scholar! This is the luck of Xiangyang Village and Chaoyang County, no, this is the luck of Leyang County and Daqi Country!! β
Mingyue couldn't help but cover her face, feeling that she was talking to the other party clearly talking to a chicken and a duck, and the focus of attention seemed to be completely different, so she had to interrupt the young man who was addicted to the poem and said: "That, Su Tongsheng, your fiancΓ©e is the daughter of a lifter, there is a way, living with the phoenix, she must be a handsome bird; Sleeping with the tiger, Yan is a good beast, Miss Li is immersed in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all the year round, must be a handsome and extraordinary strange woman, marry her, in the future, the husband and wife will raise their eyebrows, respect each other like guests, you grind ink to me to add fragrance, unlike me, only firewood, rice, oil and salt, complicated and trivial, you carry water to me to pick firewood, the style of painting is different......"
"'With the phoenix in the west, it will be a handsome bird, and sleep with the tiger, it is a good beast', wonderful! The homework left by Mr. 'On intimacy' can be used as a refutation, good, good, really good! Su Tongsheng, who was obviously injured, already had joy on his face.
Mingyue's face began to darken, and they all said that Xiucai couldn't explain it when he met Bing, Mingyue felt that if she didn't do it, she was sorry for the "Xiucai" opposite.
Mingyue suppressed the anger in her heart, flicked her sleeves and left, her steps were full of dignified anger.
Su Hongtu had already followed with small steps, running as he ran
Panting and said, "Mingyue, don't be jealous." I just want to find a way to talk to my mother. You are a woman, you must not walk with big strides like a man, you must do not show your feet, and move the lotus step lightly......"
Mingyue's face was like the bottom of a black pot, her steps were bigger, and a pair of heavenly feet danced vigorously.
"Mingyue, you are still in the boudoir, you must not do rude things such as digging vegetables and chopping wood, you must concentrate on chanting poems and paintings, and tasting tea and adding fragrance......"
Mingyue's footsteps suddenly stopped, her eyes were gloomy, and her two fingers that had chopped down trees were crossed, making a sound of Kaka's bones.
Su Hongtu followed Mingyue closely, caught off guard, and almost hit Mingyue's back, Mingyue had turned around with a gloomy face, and looked up at Su Hongtu gritting his teeth and raising his arms, with a solemn feeling that the wind and rain were about to come.
Su Hongtu, who didn't know that danger was coming, continued to read in pieces: "Mingyue, in the future, I will be the lady of the Su family, in addition to not showing my feet, I must also be able to smile without showing my teeth and raise my arms high, this is a woman's virtue and ......appearance."
I'll beat you up! Mingyue finally made a move, Su Tongsheng fell to the ground gorgeously again, Mingyue made her hand into a fist, and almost poked the tip of Su Hongtu's nose with her fingers arrogantly and said: "The surname Su, first, no matter which cat or dog you are with, it has nothing to do with me Yin Mingyue!" Second, don't use the 'demure like flowers shining on water' set of boudoir women to ask me in the future, I am a man, an authentic female man! Thirdly, if I say another sentence that makes you feel that you are 'more talented than immortals', let me, let me be 'alone and miserable', and die alone!! β
Su Hongtu sat on the ground as if he was intoxicated, and muttered in his mouth: "'A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold', 'Demure is like a flower shining on water', 'Talent is more than immortals', 'Sorrow is often sad and sad'......" until he nagged countless times, tears couldn't stop staying, and he said with infinite longing: "Mingyue's heart is so bitter, I can't bear her, such a good poem, such a beautiful woman, how can I bear her loneliness and old age, I, Su Hongtu would like to accompany her to the end of my life......"
At this time, the bright moon was no longer audible. If you hear it, there is a chance that you will either be so angry that you will swing your fist again or be so angry that you will vomit blood and die.
The mandarin duck who was waiting for Mingyue in front of Mingyue's house saw the two people standing and falling down from a distance, shouting Mingyue suspiciously, Mingyue shook off Su Hongtu and greeted him, and didn't forget to glance at Su Hongtu before leaving.
The mandarin duck looked suspiciously at Su Hongtu, who was sitting far away on the cold ground and muttering to himself, and asked in a low voice, "Mingyue, what's wrong with Su Tongsheng?" You used to speak slowly to him and smile with your eyebrows and eyes, he asked you to stand and you didn't dare to sit, his current dejected appearance, won't you find fault with him because of Miss Li's business, right? β
Mingyue glared at the mandarin duck uncomfortably, is she so worried about marrying?
took the mandarin duck's hand and went into the courtyard and said: "Don't be like the old lady in the village, I will be stunned to put the two of us together, if I live with him, my tragic end is destined to be only two, either forced to become a murderer or forced to become a female madman." β
The mandarin duck gasped in fright, and unconsciously said two feet away from Mingyue: "Mingyue, you won't kill the rooster and kill people instead, right?" Also, the white sheep of Xiang Yaozu's family was really lost, wouldn't it really be as the people in the village said, it was really you who killed it with revenge, right? β
Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so much that the mandarin duck was terrifying, and exclaimed: "Mingyue, are you afraid, afraid that Xiang Yaozu and his father and mother will come to you again to settle accounts?" β
Mingyue laughed like tears, beating her head and chest, so unhappy: "Mandarin duck, I just laughed that Xiang Yaozu can finally forcibly avoid milk, I don't know if I will cry in the middle of the night." β
The mandarin duck laughed very unkindly, until he laughed enough, he picked up the two bamboo baskets in the corner and said: "Mingyue, the ten eggs you got for my family last time, my brother likes to eat them, and most of his illness is cured, my mother not only didn't stop me from playing with you, but also asked my father to make two bamboo baskets for you." β
Mandarin duck has a four-year-old brother, a few days ago sick and fever, which frightened the mandarin duck's mother, got together the silver to catch the medicine, the fever subsided, the baby's mouth was bland, Mingyue looked at the mandarin duck with a sad face, so he picked out ten of the basket of eggs of Sun Er's "filial piety" and sent them over, the mother of the mandarin duck was moved to cry, and since then she has never stopped the mandarin duck from looking for Mingyue. Every once in a while, he also asked the mandarin duck father to weave some baskets and baskets for the third room.
The mandarin duck father and mother relaxed, but the mandarin duck couldn't find the shadow of the bright moon, every day on the mountain to practice, the dragon saw the head but not the tail, today fortunately the bright moon came back early, this is the opposite touch.
Mingyue sighed softly, although the Mandarin Duck family is also very poor, but the family is together, but her younger brother is nowhere to be found, it should be said that knowing the whereabouts, knowing that it was bought by a solid tofu maker as a son, just because of Yinshi, so I don't know how to get it back.
It seems that earning money to live a decent and solid life in the existing home is fundamental, and only then can there be hope to bring her back.
Mingyue sent away the mandarin duck, not idle for a moment, with a rolling pin to mash the football-sized salt stone into powder, the salt jar did not dare to fill, for fear that others would be suspicious, only put a third of the jar, and the rest were all placed in a new basket made by the mandarin duck father, full of half a basket. It was then stuffed into a hole in the corner of the outhouse.
After hiding the salt, Mingyue took the half-dried bellflower in the yard into the house, soaked it in water, until the dry skin of the bellflower stretched again, then washed it, put it in a large basin again, soaked it in salt, and then fastened the cover curtain.
In this way, the bucket at home was also used, and there was not a single empty basin, and the floor was full of basins on the stove.
When Liu went out to work and came home, he saw such a chaotic scene, opened a basin under his feet, looked at the remaining salt noodles on the bellflower, and covered his mouth for a long time without exclaiming.
Mingyue put her finger in front of her mouth, silenced Liu, and cautiously tested Liu's words: "Mother, these salts belong to Zhao Ergou." After Zhao Ergou was driven out of the village, he didn't study well, and secretly followed the bandits to sell smuggled salt, and when he passed by Xiangyang Village with salt, he was seen by me, and chased me to kill him, but fortunately a poisonous snake came out and bit him to death. I asked Li Zhukuai around the bush, and saw that selling smuggled salt without reporting it to the government was the same as selling smuggled salt, which was the same crime of exile, and besides, Zhao Ergou had a grudge against us, and now he was poisoned, and he couldn't tell a hundred mouths, so I had to hide the salt, and slowly make pickles and eat them or sell them for some silver to live. β
Liu Shi was so frightened that his face was bloodless, he turned around and closed the door tightly, and said cautiously: "Yue'er, what can you do with this baby, why do you have such a lifeless thing, what is the difference between selling pickles and selling salt, you are stupid to be those officials?" β
Mingyue's heart is also like a mirror, but now there is no other way to make money quickly, the family's firewood, rice, oil and salt need silver, the family's clothing needs silver, and the family's safety and security also need silver, Mingyue gritted her teeth and said to Liu: "Mother, it's okay, tomorrow will be free, I will dig a vegetable cellar on the edge of our vegetable garden, put these pickles in it, don't tell anyone, including my grandmother, if others are investigated, this is a crime of killing the head, I secretly went to the county to sell it to a restaurant or inn, and I didn't know it, All right. β
With Liu's nod, Mingyue was bold, and simply used salt to water more than a dozen Chinese cabbages in the garden, and pickled them with chili noodles tomorrow, pickled into spicy cabbage, spicy bellflower, small head garlic, wild vegetables and other small pickles, and decided to earn her first pot of gold in ancient times.
