In the new house, the lights and candles are flickering, and the red shadows are all over the room.

Ji Pozi pointed at the bellflower and explained a few words to the rules of the General's Mansion, and had already impatiently closed the door and walked out of the courtyard.

Lin Nuoya sat stunned for a long time, shivered coldly, simply took off the hijab and phoenix crown, took off her shoes, fell crooked on the bed, pulled the brocade quilt on the side, and put it on her waist: "Kikyo, you fanned the cool breeze to me." ”

Kikyo glared back at his girl dissatisfied, the fan in his hand still didn't stop, fanning the flames of a pair of dragon and phoenix candles the thickness of a baby's arm on the table to flutter left and right, and the candle tears fell down the candlestick drop by drop.

"Sister Noya, this uncle hasn't come back yet, why did you lift your hijab yourself? The bride is to sit upright. ”

Lin Nuoya, who was lying crooked on the bed, didn't know what was on her waist, it was a little hard, she reached in and groped, and it turned out to be a chestnut. Her eyes lit up, and she put her hand into the brocade quilt stacked on the side of the bed, and sure enough, she found a few strings of red dates and peanuts strung with red threads.

After some tossing, Noya happened to be a little hungry, so he peeled the peanuts and threw them into his mouth, and threw the peanut shells under the bed.

"Waiting for him to come back, I'm afraid my neck will be crushed."

"Waiting for my uncle to come back, my sister's neck will definitely not be broken, but I'm afraid my wrist will be broken.

Sister, Mrs. Ji called me out just now and reminded me with a gun and a stick. It was said that Mrs. Na'an sent someone to the kitchen to fetch a bag of fine salt and returned to the house, added it to the wick little by little, and covered it tightly with a gas dead wind lampshade, and the light of the candle was only the size of a soybean at most.

Everyone deliberately made the candles burn more slowly, for fear that my uncle would return late and go to another yard. You can't wait to sleep behind closed doors. ”

Kikyo couldn't help but grumble.

"What is this Mrs. Ji doing with you telling you all this nonsense?" Noah squeezed a chestnut hard, and her wrist twitched again, sweating in pain.

Kikyo resignedly continued to fan the flames, and his strength was weak: "No matter who assigned the person from the Ji Pozi, this 'one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven' is always eternal." If the master gains power, the subordinates will also follow, right?

Of course, she also hopes that her sister will be favored in front of her uncle, and she will be more glorious in front of others. You see her nose is not a nose, and her face is not a face to say that. was assigned by the old lady to serve us, and I don't know how aggrieved I am. ”

"Favored?" Noya aimed at a floor tile, and with a "poof" sound, she spit out the jujube pit in her mouth, and was happy: "Who would be rare to be a man like that?" ”

"Who would be rare?" The little girl stopped the fan in her hand, and was a little indignant: "Sister, I'm afraid you don't know how well our aunt is treated in the capital, right?" That's a romantic character who fascinates all beings. Otherwise, the daughters of An Ruoxi and Qin Darling would not have secretly competed several times for their uncle and made so many jokes in the capital. ”

Lin Nuoya has indeed heard of these jokes, which are nothing more than some boring incidents of two women meeting in a narrow way, fighting for wind and jealousy, such as you splashing me with tea, I teasing you and embarrassing people, you come and go, and are exaggerated by people who do good things, which damages the face of Shangshu Mansion and Shilang Mansion.

She saw the two face each other today, and knew that the rumors were not groundless, if she could stay out of the matter, she would have a good show every day to relieve her boredom.

Noya disdained, seeing that the bellflower was indeed tired, she couldn't help but secretly regret the broken dagger that was confiscated by Bailijiu, otherwise how easy it would be to get up and down.

She glanced left and right, and the courtyard was silent, and there was no one there, so she bit off a strong cotton thread from the quilt, wrapped it around the index fingers of both hands, got out of bed and walked to the candlestick, and told the bellflower to hold it steady, tighten the cotton thread, and sawed a candle back and forth in two. The other one was also concocted in the same way, and he was tired and sweaty.

Noya clapped her hands proudly, threw the two severed candles to the bellflower, and said solemnly: "Don't remember to destroy the corpse, don't let Ji Pozi see the broken mouth." ”

Kikyo threw away the fan with relief, hid the candle in his cuff, poked his head out to look at the wind, tiptoed out, and returned sneakily in a moment, patting his heart, looking like a thief.

Lin Nuoya gave her a thumbs up and expressed her appreciation.

Kikyo came over, picked up the teacup and poured the tea, but it was icy, and poured it back, wrinkling his nose angrily: "I overheard that the old lady went to Mrs. Na'an's yard just now, and ordered someone to prepare a hot snack, Mrs. Qin also has a share, but we don't." Now this tea is also iced, and a group of minions of this powerful family look down on people. ”

Noya was a little unimpressed: "It's good not to be welcomed, and it's not bad for you and me to mix three meals a day with peace of mind." ”

The little girl was instantly deflated, sat down at the table, and held up her cheeks: "Does the girl have any plans?" ”

Lin Nuoya's face was gloomy for a while: "Now that the deed of sale is in the hands of that demon, you and I are under the control of others, what can we do?" ”

Kikyo was about to speak, but was suddenly silenced: "Shhhhhhh ”

She had always been convinced of her girl's hearing, and immediately walked lightly to the door, and slammed the door open.

Outside the door, Ji Pozi held a tray in her hand, stretched her neck, and listened to the movement inside, but the bellflower suddenly opened the door, which startled her, and she hurriedly retreated, almost knocking over the soup bowl in her hand.

"It's Mother Ji," the girl pretended to be surprised, and made a gesture to pick up the tray in her hand: "I'm in a hurry to go out, it's a little rushy, but don't I scare you?" ”

Ji Pozi smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, I'm also worried that I'm in a hurry when the supper is cold." ”

Seeing that her tray was really a bowl of fruit-stuffed rice balls, Kikyo knew that her girl was hungry, so she turned sideways and let Ji Pozi into the house.

Ji Pozi put the tray on the table, saw that a pair of dragon and phoenix candles were only half burned, knew that it was done with hands and feet, and glanced at the bellflower strangely, but smartly didn't ask much, turned around and handed the soup bowl in his hand to Noya.

Noya took it in her hand, tepid, thinking that Ji Pozi had been standing outside the door for a while, and she didn't know how much she had eavesdropped.

Ji Pozi looked at her with a blank eye, and saw that she had already lifted her hijab, and her appearance was neat, especially a delicate cherry mouth, and her lips were plump and moist, like oil-blended rouge, soaking the first blooming begonias of the morning dew. If it weren't for the exaggerated fandel, she would also be a beauty like a hibiscus out of the water.

The mother-in-law urged, and she wanted to cover it up: "The kitchen is a little far away from here, and when I bring it all the way, the rice balls are a little cold, so my aunt should eat them quickly." ”

Noya stirred it twice with a spoon, and the inside of the rice balls looked a little whitish, not crystal clear color, it should be almost hot. Said casually: "It seems to be a little raw." ”

The mother-in-law leaned forward: "What did my aunt say?" ”

Noya is not picky about food, but she has no appetite for this steaming rice ball, so she put down the soup bowl and said, "I said raw." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! To be alive is to be born! I wish my aunt an early birth to a noble son and spread her leaves. The mother-in-law nodded in agreement.

Kikyo covered her lips and snickered, Lin Nuoya was not shy, knowing that her mother-in-law was begging for her own reward, touching her pocket, Baili Jiu added her a lot of silver to redeem herself, but now she is pitiful and shabby, penniless, and can't be rewarded, so she has to give up, and said politely: "Thank you Mama Ji for her words." ”

Ji Pozi is a person who is used to being clever and obedient, seeing that her aunt is stingy, although she disdains it in her heart, she is not lagging behind at all in her mouth, and her tongue is full of lotus flowers, and she praises Nuoya.

At the end, he explained: "The old lady said that the young general has a lot of entertainment today, and it is difficult to have time, so let my aunt wash and rest earlier." Early tomorrow morning, the major general will take the two side ladies to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Baili family. You need to wait early, and then go with your comrades to greet the old lady with tea, but don't delay. ”

Obedient and listening, Noya immediately understood the meaning of Ji Pozi's words. The old lady obviously didn't want to see herself, and told her in advance that Bailijiu would never come to her room tonight, and she would dispel her delusional thoughts earlier.

And she is just a lowly aunt, and she is not qualified to enter the ancestral hall of the Baili family and worship her ancestors. Ji Pozi tactfully reminded her to be self-aware, and it would be boring not to ask for herself tomorrow.

Noya originally couldn't ask for it, but when she heard the words, she immediately agreed and ordered the yard to be locked and rested early.

Mrs. Ji asked someone else to have a drink together, and she couldn't wait for a long time, so she only asked perfunctorily: "If there are no other instructions, the mother-in-law will go back." ”

"There's something to ask for." Nuoya said bluntly: "Can you bother Ji's mother to make a charcoal stove?" ”

Ji Pozi couldn't help but be stunned, he was just polite, why did this little master really climb up the pole and instruct himself? But the words have been spoken, and it is difficult to collect the water, not to mention that this request is not too much, so he nodded briskly.

"It's a trivial matter, but if it's not cold today, the house has not purchased new charcoal, so I can only grieve my aunt to temporarily use the silver frost charcoal left over from last year, and it has been raining recently, I'm afraid that it will be damp and a little smoky."

Nuoya was naturally not picky about this, and with a few polite words, he instructed Kikyo to move the charcoal stove back to the house with Ji Pozi, and according to the instructions, he asked for a pot.

"Sister, this is thirsty, right?" Kikyo asked, leaning down, blowing the bottom of the charcoal stove to make it burn more vigorously, and immediately a thick black smoke rose, choking her and coughing, and hurriedly took the pot and put it on the charcoal stove.

What kind of silver frost charcoal is this, I'm afraid it's the cheapest miscellaneous charcoal used in the kitchen to cook rice and make a fire, right? That Ji Pozi is just a person with a honey-bellied sword, just a noisy mouth, but he is against the yin.

Kikyo muttered to herself, but she didn't dare to complain to her girl, worried that her hot temper would come up, and she would not be able to hold it back and suffer a big loss. Hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the window open, and the cold night breeze poured in, washing away the smoke.

Nuoya didn't care at all, collected all the chestnuts and red dates and peanuts on the bed, pocketed them with his clothes, walked to the charcoal stove, and squatted down: "As soon as you enter the house, give me a dismount, I don't have to eat dinner, we naturally can't be hungry ourselves, with the charcoal stove, we can do it ourselves, and have enough food and clothing." ”

Kikyo's eyes lit up, swept away Shicai's depression, took the chestnut peanut in Noya's arms, peeled off the shell and threw it into the pot. The two of them moved over the embroidery pier, sat in front of them, surrounded the charcoal stove, and watched the water in the pot gradually rise to heat up and boil the splash.

Noya remembered the bowl of half-cooked rice balls, it was a pity to waste it, brought it over, it had been glued into a ball, poured it into the hot pot, glanced left and right, the spoon in the bowl was a short handle, and it was not used to take advantage of it, so he took off the silver hairpin on his head, cleaned it with tea, and leaned into the pot and stirred it slowly.

The bellflower was already hungry, so he stuck his head in front of the pot and stared at the chestnut and red date dumplings tumbling up and down in the pot, feeling extremely sweet, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

Noah was distressed, but couldn't help but feel funny.

"Sister, sister......" Kikyo spoke a little stumbling.

"What's wrong?" Noah looked up, saw her look of horror, and asked inexplicably.

"You...... You see! The girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the soup pot, her face full of horror: "Look at that hairpin!" ”

"What's wrong with the hairpin?" Noah looked in the direction of her finger and was so surprised that the hairpin almost came out of her hand. I saw that the originally bright and translucent silver hairpin in her hand was already black!

Poisonous!
