The next day, a neat mother-in-law came to fetch the ravioli. A big bowl of chicken soup is full of soup base, it is the spring willow branch that chooses the fat and tender shepherd's cabbage, chops the shrimp meat, and wraps it into three fresh wontons with shepherd's cabbage, which has the taste of hometown, but also has the flavor of Nanquan, the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are all small river shrimp, how can there be such a large smooth and fresh sea shrimp.

In the courtyard of Huamu Fusu, in the rich and elegant room, Bai Lin tasted a wonton and said with a smile: "It tastes better than before." Jiaojiao, let's eat one. ”

The tent was still silent, and Bai Lin's voice became softer: "I can't persuade you, forget it." I'd better go find Little Lady Li, your childhood friend, she will definitely enlighten you well and let you eat. ”

Seeing the powder tent opened, a face that was originally round and jade was swollen and distorted because of pregnancy and crying, Bai Lin sat on the edge of the bed with a small bowl: "Okay, don't be sad, you have to eat well for the child in your belly." ”

After feeding a large bowl of wontons and drinking a small bowl of chicken soup, Bai Lin helped Feng Jiaojiao to take a walk in the yard, he picked an eighteen-year-old hairpin and put it on Feng Jiaojiao's messy sideburns, and said with a smile: "People are better than flowers." ”

In this way, every day, the mother-in-law goes to the restaurant to get wontons or other food, and the willow branch has the opportunity to repay the little eleven master to work harder, and the meals are full of flowers.

Finally one day, when Bai Lin came, she saw Feng Jiaojiao freshened up, cleaned and simply tied a bun with a golden hairpin, and sat at the table drinking bird's nest. She raised her eyes to look at him: "Little Eleventh Master, I will eat well, you don't have to go to Xiaozhi anymore." ”

The smell of her hometown made her feel guilty, made her miss, and made her regret too late.

Bai Lin smiled: "Actually, you can go and see her." ”

Feng Jiaojiao lowered her head, her face swept over her face, and she was disgusted with him and herself.

Bai Lin's dark blue eyes had a faint sadness: "Jiaojiao, I like you, there are many ways in this world, but it is the most undesirable to live with yourself and yourself." ”

Willow Branch's snack shop is now in stable business, and everyone from near and far knows that her house has a white catcher hood, and the people who were looking for a gap in the women's Taoist family have avoided it far away, and everyone is willing to come to the place where the "public family covers" to eat. Her days are back on a busy and fulfilling, calm and happy track.

When the Three Lions came to the house, she was frying clams in the kitchen, which was a local dish she learned from Xingrui, who was also very talented in cooking, and it seemed that the restaurant was just around the corner.

She came out of the kitchen, and was surprised to hear that Madame Pearl wanted to see her. This big man who is in charge of the Bai family as a woman is a legend in the book, and he has nothing to do with grass people like himself.

The willow branch was full of the smell of gold, and when she thought about seeing such a noble lady, she naturally wanted to go home to take a bath and change clothes, but the person in charge said: "Mrs. Li, don't panic, Mrs. doesn't care about these false courtesies." Mrs. Li only comes with me. ”

On the horse sat a young man with blue eyes. Liu Zhi was first surprised: "Little Eleventh, why are you here" and then remembered that he was not talking nonsense, Little Eleven was the heir of his wife.

Bai Lin twitched his nose: "You came down directly from the stove?" ”

Liu Zhi pulled his hair awkwardly: "I wanted to change my clothes, but Mrs. is in a hurry to see me." By the way, Little Eleven, do you know what Madame is looking for me? ”

Bai Lin didn't answer her and said to herself: "Don't say anything happened to Brother Xiaochun, ah, don't do that." ”

The Three Lions Hall was not far away, and it looked like it was about half an hour, Bai Lin didn't mean to get out of the car, he looked at Liu Zhi with a look of desire to speak and stopped, and finally only said: "Don't be afraid, Madame is very kind and never embarrassed." ”

Why should I be afraid, I don't know this lady. Liu Zhi's mentality is a bachelor, she smiled and said to Bai Lin: "Madame may be curious, I haven't seen steamed vegetables before, so I asked me to talk about it." I'll go back later, and I'm still waiting for me to fry the thin shell. ”

Bai Lin watched the ignorant little woman get out of the car, Madame Pearl went to sea with her father when she was young, how many strange things she had seen, how could she be interested in any steamed dishes.

Willow got out of the car and looked at the drum stones and knockers of the gate, the specially fired tiles and dripping eaves, and the ridge of the roof, where there were lions everywhere.

At present, this Three Lions Hall is the main house of the Bai family, and the emblem used is that the three lions are playing with each other. The porter took her in, and then the welcoming maid took her over with a smile and guided her inside.

The Three Lions Hall has a history of 100 years, every tile, every floor tile has been infiltrated by time, the moss between the mountains and stones in the patio is a little thick, thick green like a blanket, the unique anchovy grass in the south is as high as half a person, the pavilion is like a fan, and there is an indescribable sense of heaviness in the silence of a grass and a tree.

The maid carried the willow branches through a sandwich passage, and soon arrived at the main house without taking a sedan chair. Willow Branch's eyes were still glued to a crane in the courtyard that was looking down at its feathers, and she almost caught her foot and hit the maid who led the way, she smiled embarrassedly, and whispered, "This sister is sorry." ”

The maid shook her head slightly, retreated to the side with a smile, and acted like a weak willow supporting the wind, graceful and generous. Liu Zhi suddenly felt that something was wrong, it was too quiet, and he couldn't hear a sound from the entrance, and the rows of maids in front of the porch under the eaves were quiet, and they didn't smell a cough. Even the crane was like a living statue.

The willow branch retreated a little in an instant, and the maid at the door was wearing a garnet red fine arrowroot shirt, and when she saw her, she had already opened the curtain with a smile.

I don't know what kind of bamboo the door curtain is made of, it is as smooth as jade, but it maintains the unique elegance of bamboo. The curtain pendant is a pair of white jade lions the size of a child's fist, the material is moist and flawless, the knife is lively, and there is a price of a thousand gold.

The curtain of the door was half lifted, and only then did a faint sound come from inside. Willow Branch was depressed by the atmosphere, and walked cautiously, and she was shivering when she entered the room. Although Nanquan is warmer than other places, it is not yet summer at this time, and there is a patchwork of icebergs in the house, and at the same time, a sweet fragrance enters the nose, which is very good.

The legendary Lady Pearl is standing behind a huge table of papers.

The maid stood silently, and the room was filled with the crisp sound of abacus beads plucking, like a summer shower. Willow Branch knew that the most taboo person was to be interrupted halfway, so he just stood silently, for a long time, the calculation beads did not stop, although Willow Branch was not good at making a sound, but turned his neck and looked at the room curiously.

Big, the first feeling of this room to her is that it is big, as big as a whole row of three main houses in ordinary people's homes, and the bookshelves that stand up to the sky are natural partitions. She had never seen so many books, some of them not quite like books, like account books or atlases. The whole piece of natural ebony wood is also full of books, and the brush is inserted like a wood.

What is strange is that even the vases are large, the smallest ones are knee-high, most of them are burned into urns, all are plain, all placed on the ground, and they are all bamboo with vines, or a few branches of Nantian bamboo with bright red leaves, and a gilded copper fox that is almost to her waist spits wisps of incense. The furnishings of the whole house can be seen that the owner is a cheerful and atmospheric person.

Although the abacus beads ticked incessantly, there was not a trace of the businessman's vulgarity in the room.

Liu Zhi was full of admiration, and the market had mixed opinions about this legendary woman, and there were all kinds of rumors, some even implied that she was attached to the procurement eunuch, which was very unbearable. But when I saw this room full of scrolls, I saw the hard work behind Madame Pearl's success, and not by her appearance.

This lady is indeed very beautiful, although she cannot get a glimpse of the whole picture from the angle of the willow branches, and she keeps her head down. However, a beauty is a beauty, and you can see the brilliance at a glance. Mrs. Pearl didn't bring any jewelry, only a white hosta was wrapped in a nest of silk, in order to plan the men's clothes that were specially worn for convenience, a cyan straight embellished, without grease powder and a brilliant appearance. Only people who have strong self-confidence in themselves will have such an indifferent appearance.

Liu Zhi stood and watched, looking at the standing, the cool air of the iceberg penetrated slightly, and a fire in her heart was like a small snake drilling out, gnawing at the fine and dense pain in her heart.
