Chapter 102: Zhuo Ping'an
Speaking from his heart, Zhuo Ping'an's appearance does not look like a fool at all.
He has the usual fair complexion of the noble children who have been pampered for many years, and his upright facial features do not have much of the shadow of the county lord of Qingjiang, so he should have passed on his father's appearance. The long hair that fell over the shoulders had obviously been carefully groomed, and it hung straight down the waist. Wearing a brocade robe with a blue background and four seasons flower patterns, a loose bundle around the waist, the wind blowing through the hall, the robe swinging gently, revealing a little skinny emptiness, showing a little sick.
"What a pity!" Song Yi looked at it with a smile, and secretly choked her sister-in-law, "With such a majestic appearance, if it weren't for the dystocia and the brain, even if the talent was mediocre, with the holy family of the mother's family, it would not be difficult to occupy a place in the court!" There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, which is really helpless! β
She felt sorry here, but Zhuo Ping'an was attracted by a pot of bluegrass on a high table not far away from the door from the moment she entered the door.
His intelligence was like that of a baby, and naturally it was impossible for him to act like an ordinary person, so he didn't care about the three elders in the hall at all, and walked to the high table by pushing aside the maid, and curiously reached out to pull the leaves of the orchid grass.
"Ping An'er, this is the fourth uncle and fourth aunt that my mother told you, why don't you kowtow and say goodbye?" Seeing this, a touch of helplessness flashed on the county lord of Qingjiang, and he said warmly, "What's so beautiful about that orchid?" If you like it, turn around and send ten pots in your yard, play as you like! β
Since the death of her husband, she has devoted all her energy to her son. Even though Zhuo Ping'an was born with defects, after nearly 20 years, he also remembered the voice and appearance of his mother.
Hearing this, he put his fingers in his mouth and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at the hall, and shouted in a daze: "Mother! β
"Good!" The county lord of Qingjiang beckoned to him and said softly, "Come, come to my mother's place, kowtow to your uncle and aunt!" β
Zhuo Ping'an tilted his headβif this action had been done when he was a child, it would have been extremely cute, but now that he was about to be crowned, it was naturally weird how strange it lookedβand after a while, the face of the county lord of Qingjiang had changed a little, and he saw that he abandoned the blue grass and strode towards him.
"Good boy, this is your uncle and aunt." When Zhuo Ping'an walked past Song Yixiao, the county lord of Qingjiang secretly sweated, and it was not until his son obediently snuggled up to him that he breathed a sigh of relief, and patiently introduced again, "Good, kowtow to the two elders, your aunt has specially prepared a gift for you...... You can pick it up after kowtowing, why don't you thank your aunt soon? β
Zhuo Ping'an knelt down in a daze, kowtowed crookedly, and didn't wait for the county lord of Qingjiang to say anything more, he got up with a bone, climbed onto the soft couch where the county lord of Qingjiang was sitting and rolled over, and happily kicked a hidden sac at the end of the couch.
Song Yixiao, who was about to praise his wording: "......"
"I said it was specially prepared, I don't know if Ping An'er likes it?" Jian Xubai has been drinking tea, and she has no intention of helping, so she can only skip this one in the end and go directly to the link of giving things, "If you don't like it, tell your aunt what you like, and your aunt will make it up to you later!" β
The gift she prepared was a set of four seasons sachets.
The appearance of this set of sachets is not unusual, but it is embroidered with the scenery of the four seasons according to spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The fillers in the heart are all perennial medicinal materials that are beneficial to the body, but they are skillfully blended, and they do not feel the smell of medicine, but only feel the fragrance wisps, or mellow or cold, each according to the season, which is convenient for the four seasons to change and use.
The reason why I sent this is also a helpless thing: ordinary people of Zhuo Ping'an's age, the four treasures of the study, the treasures of antiques, and the famous horse and Liang bow...... can all be used as gifts. But he didn't need it, as for the medicinal materials, toys or something, he was afraid that the county lord of Qingjiang would be sad.
Song Yixiao also thought about it for a few days before she came up with this method, which did not stimulate the eldest sister-in-law, but also expressed her heart.
Sure enough, after the county lord of Qingjiang saw it, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said gratefully: "Brother and sister are really troubled!" β
This will Zhuo Ping'an was lying next to her spitting bubbles, and the county lord of Qingjiang was afraid of complications, so he didn't call his son to get up and pick it up, but reached out to take it on his son's behalf, and then showed it to him: "Ping'an'er, come and see the meeting gift your aunt gave you, is it good-looking?" β
Zhuo Ping'an blinked and looked at it for a while, but he didn't turn his head to save face, and continued to concentrate on spitting bubbles.
"......" The county lord of Qingjiang was embarrassed for a while, and after solemnly putting away the sachet, he said to himself, "This kid is not good at expressing it, he definitely likes it - brother and sister, you don't know, if he wants something he doesn't like, if you get it to him, he will be in a hurry!" β
Although Song Yixiao spent a lot of effort and thought on making this set of sachets, it was mainly shown to the county lord of Qingjiang, and now he will not worry about his nephew, and said with a smile: "It was originally a ...... for Ping'an to wear and play."
When she said this, without warning, Zhuo Ping'an suddenly touched a jade ruyi on the couch, threw it casually, and flew to Song Yixiao!
At this time, the county lord of Qingjiang had his back to him, and he didn't know his son's abnormal movements at all-Song Yi saw it with a smile, but she was only less than a foot away from the soft couch, how quickly did Yu Ruyi fly over? With her pitifully weak reflexes, she didn't have time to dodge, she could only wait in amazement!
Seeing that she was about to be smashed to her head and bleed, her arm was suddenly pulled, and the force was so great, Song Yixiao got up from her seat, staggered and swirled, and fell heavily into Jian Xubai's arms!
She subconsciously climbed on her husband's shoulder, and at the same time as she exclaimed, Yu Ruyi wiped the golden hairpin between her temples and flew over, fell heavily on the floor tiles not far away, and fell apart!
This sudden change almost stunned everyone present!
The face of the county lord of Qingjiang was snow-white!
The county lord, who has always been graceful and noble, opened and closed his lips several times before asking, "Brother and sister...... You...... Is there anything wrong with you? β
ββ¦β¦ I'm fine! Song Yixiao was shocked, only to find that his whole body was snuggling up to Jian Xubai at the moment, his hands were clasped around his shoulders, and half of his face was buried in his arms - although it was an instinctive reaction under horror, it was not enough to return it in the inner room of the Yanguo Mansion, this would be a guest in the Qingjiang County Lord's Mansion, and there were dozens of servants around!
Her face, which was originally as white as mutton fat jade, instantly turned red, and she hurriedly pushed Jian Xubai away and got up to sit back, and said calmly, "Eldest sister, take a look at Ping An'er, don't scare him!" β
This is just a scene, Zhuo Ping'an threw Ruyi is just a casual move, he doesn't want to hurt people at all, and he doesn't care about hurting people. After throwing Ruyi, it was even more casual, and now the hall was solemn, but he was still lying there leisurely spitting bubbles, his eyes were ignorant and clear - what could be the matter?
The county lord of Qingjiang took a deep breath: "Take Ping'an Er!" β
The junior almost injured the elder, and it stands to reason that he should be punished.
But Zhuo Ping'an is in this situation, you beat him and scold him, he doesn't understand, provoke sex. Zilai made more trouble, and he could only let him go down first, so as not to continue to hurt people.
The maid at the bottom coaxed Zhuo Ping'an to go in fear - fortunately, he would be obedient.
Seeing his son's figure disappear into the door, the county lord of Qingjiang made amends to Song Yixiao on his behalf with red eyes: "I'm really sorry for my brother and sister, I never thought ......"
"Sister, what's that?" Although Song Yixiao still had palpitations, she was also prepared for this when she promised to be met by Zhuo Ping'an, and now she has a false alarm, which is also a blessing, and she doesn't want to have a relationship with her sister-in-law because of this, so she hurriedly interrupted, "Ping'an'er didn't mean it, and besides, I didn't have an accident, you said so, but you treat me as an outsider!" β
The county lord of Qingjiang laughed miserably: "Now I don't have the face to say those disguised words: for today's visit, I taught him for a few days!" And the doctor also prescribed a lot of medicine, and I really saw that he was very well-behaved recently, so I dared to let him come out to see him. I thought everything would go well, but who would have thought that something would go wrong when it came? β
She burst into tears, "It's me who is bad! Knowing that there is something wrong with this child, he should have told him to step back after kowtowing, otherwise how could he disturb his younger siblings? Fortunately, the fourth brother reacted quickly! Otherwise, how can I have the face to see my younger siblings in the future? β
"It's okay to be good!" Jian Xubai didn't talk much since he entered the door because his wife and sister both expressed their intention to be closer to each other, just looking at the contact between the two of them, this will open his mouth and say, "Eldest sister, if you feel guilty, the luncheon will be arranged more sumptuously - you don't know, the cook was confused a few days ago, and the whole kitchen was kicked out by Shanyao!" Now the cook is the cook she used before she came out of the cabinet, the craftsmanship is not bad, but it is not to my taste, I will accompany her today, but I expect to have a good meal here at the eldest sister! β
Song Yixiao knew that he was deliberately diverting the topic, lest the county lord of Qingjiang continue to be unable to step down, so when he heard this, he glanced sideways and said, "Are you embarrassed to say? How many times have you eaten the cook's cooking? During these days, almost all of your food and drink are prepared by my own hands, okay? β
"yes, you did it yourself." Jian Xubai gave the county lord of Qingjiang a "you know" look, and sighed, "Of course you don't have to pick and chooseβbut eldest sister, can't you really have a few more dishes at lunch?" β
Song Yi smiled angrily and waved his pink fist at him.
The husband and wife made such a fuss, and the county lord of Qingjiang couldn't make amends, knowing their good intentions, he was both moved and guilty, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you really don't know how to be blessed in the blessings, the delicate appearance of the fourth brother and sister, is to take a pot of tea, I feel distressed when I look at it!" But you are willing to endure the pain of smoke and fire for the sake of your appetite! You have to be picky about such a good wife, is there any reason in this world? β
"Originally, the third uncle helped her, but now the eldest sister also favors her!" Jian Xubai said helplessly, "What will I have to be bullied into in the future?" β
"You cousin, shouldn't you have some wives?" The county lord of Qingjiang scolded with a smile, and saw that the time was indeed up to dinner, so he ordered someone to go to the flower hall to set up the meal, "Nine females and ten males, it is best to eat crabs in this season, but I think that crabs are cold, in case you are greedy and have a stomachache after eating too much, let's use some home-cooked side dishes!" β
It is said to be a home-cooked side dish, but after the banquet, the next person passes a plate of dishes like flowing water, wisp meat soup, group of immortals, scorched golden sausage, roasted bones, boiled sheep's beard cake, roasted cheek seeds, these can be regarded as common, white roasted orchid mandarin fish, red plum pearl fragrance, anchovy shark fin, manna soup, red incense, camel's hoof soup, reed clothes with phoenix, red preserved meat, red silk cake bread, etc., but not ordinary people can afford it.
"Brother and sister try this camel's hoof, this is the chef's specialty." At the same time as the food is served, the musicians are also in place in the hall, the silk strings are lightly plucked, and the dancers wearing colorful clothes and silver bells move in unison, spinning their flying sleeves, bending their waists and stretching their arms, and dancing gracefully with the music to help the atmosphere of the feast.
The county lord of Qingjiang persuaded diligently, "The imperial doctor once told me that this dish can not only nourish the body, but also nourish the skin!" You don't need it yet, but it's always good to eat more! β
Song Yi smiled and thanked him, and was about to scoop a spoonful of the entrance according to his words - a Tsing Yi waiter suddenly walked in with a solemn expression, and hurriedly asked for peace, and then said: "Marquis Boling sent someone to invite the grandfather, and the Tao has something important to discuss!" β
Jian Xubai immediately pushed the case and got up: "Eldest sister, I'll miss you!" β
He also said to his wife, who also put down her teeth, "You apologize to the eldest sister on my behalf!" β
