Chapter 292: Soul Collection
Bai Zhanpeng couldn't, so he had to accompany him for three cups, and then he was curious about why his brother was in such a hurry to leave, so he sent Wangcai to follow him to visit secretly.
As a result, after more than half an hour, Wangcai ran back sweating profusely, with a strange look on his face, and even Chu Gehuan became more and more curious, and asked, "Brother Zhao, what did you do?" ”
Wangcai wiped the beads of sweat, asked for another cup of tea and drank it, and then said, "Mr. Zhao went to ask for food from house to house?" ”
"Begging for food?" Bai Zhanpeng and Chu Gehuan asked in surprise at the same time, and even those women looked at them together, wondering in their hearts, obviously the man just now was extraordinary, wearing silk and satin, and wearing a silver crown, he didn't look like he couldn't eat enough at home?
Wangcai took a breath and explained, "Mr. Zhao is indeed begging for food, but he is not eating it himself, but for Mrs. Zhao to eat." ”
"Who is it for?" Bai Zhanpeng stood up and straightened his clothes, obviously rushing over to ask the second brother why he was hiding from them in such a difficult life.
Wangcai hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head desperately, "Bai Gongzi wait, wait a minute, the food is not begging to eat, no, no, it is for eating, oops, no, it is Zhao Niangzi who was frightened, Mr. Zhao came to visit the family of the elderly, begged for a handful of food, and after making up a hundred families, boiled porridge for Zhao Niangzi to eat, which can drive away evil and avoid evil." ”
"Hey, it's for a hundred family rice." Bai Zhanpeng and Chu Gehuan didn't understand what it meant to beg for rice and porridge, but the plump woman next to her opened her mouth, seeing that they were still full of curiosity, they explained a few words carefully, and said at the end, "These hundred families of rice are all asked for by my mother for my frail daughter, I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be able to put down his face and beg for his wife and children, Mrs. Zhao... What a blessing..."
When the women heard this, they thought of their own situation again, and the more envious they were of the woman who was loved by such a man, and the smile on their faces was reluctant.
Women, what do you want in your life, not to be rich and expensive, to wear gold and silver, but to be a lover, but unfortunately, such a simple thing, but few women can get it, it's just rare...
Bai Zhanpeng and Chu Gehuan glanced at each other, sat down again in silence, Chu Gehuan raised his head and drank a glass of wine, along with the last trace of unwillingness and jealousy in his heart, all disappeared with the wine, such a person, such a feeling, it is indisputable, fortunately, he has always been tempted, there is no fighting...
Ruixue woke up that it was already past noon, the sun was slanting in the west, the family had eaten lunch, and when she woke up, the two sisters of Caiyun Caiyue baked a few pies, boiled a small pot of red date porridge, and served two refreshing side dishes and a plate of sauced beef, neatly brought to the wooden table under the tree in the courtyard.
Niuniu sniffed the aroma and was tempting, smiled and went over to accompany her sister to eat again, Wu Yu sat aside and fiddled with his bunch of small bits and pieces, recently this kid has been obsessed with hidden weapons, Mu San is a generous and casual one, living here for two days to see that he likes to give him the eighteen willow leaf flying knives he carried, each wiped brightly, inserted in a palm-wide leather case, dazzling.
Niuniu was itching, stretched out her hand to touch it, and was slapped back by Wu Yu, Niuniu was annoyed and scolded him for being stingy, Wu Yu saw that her sister had no intention of stopping her, and immediately replied, and the two naturally fought together again.
Everyone in the courtyard is busy with their work as usual, smiling and glancing at each other from time to time, the two children are three big fights and five small fights every day, and they can't wait to fight as soon as they open their eyes, everyone is used to it, and their strength is also equal, they can't hurt each other, and they don't dare to hurt each other.
Caiyun Caiyue picked up the dishes and chopsticks, made a pot of hot tea, packed two plates of snacks and sent them out, and a master and two servants smiled and smiled together to watch the excitement.
Wu Yu and Niuniu quarreled for a while, and they were so tired that they were sweating profusely before they stopped, one poured herbal tea violently, and the other threw herself into her sister's arms and yelled that her stomach hurt.
Rui Xue smiled and said a few words, stretched out her hand to rub Niuniu for a long time, and then called Caiyun to get a pottery bowl out, Niuniu thought that her sister was considerate, so she deliberately gave it to her, and then poured tea and drank it. At the end, he said, "It's better to be sister, that little cup is too unpleasant to drink." ”
Unexpectedly, Rui Xue took the bowl and put it directly on top of her head, "This is to teach you the rules, in the past half a month, you have to walk in the yard with this bowl on your head for an hour every day." ”
Niuniu blinked, grabbed the pottery bowl again, felt that this was a very simple matter, and smiled, "Sister, it's so easy to learn the rules, as long as it takes an hour, at another time, I can do whatever I want?" ”
Ruixue nodded, "Go up the mountain and climb the trees, eat and drink, as you please, as long as you can hold on, but... As long as you break a bowl, you won't be able to eat pancakes for a day! ”
Wu Yu smiled on the side, "Then our family will save a lot of baked cakes." ”
Niuniu felt that she was flattened by him, and immediately put the bowl on top of her head, and walked in the yard with a hum, but as a result, the reality was far more cruel than she imagined, and the pottery bowl fell down in less than five steps, so that her hands and feet were still neat, and she put out a shirt, and caught the bowl with a forward pounce.
Wu Yu saw that she was worshiping the main room, smiling and slapping the table, Caiyun Caiyue also covered her mouth and laughed, but Rui Xue said, "Niuniu, get up and continue." ”
Niuniu pursed her mouth, glared at Wu Yu hatefully, got up and didn't pay attention to the dirt on her body, picked up the bowl and continued to walk, this time she was more careful under her feet, but it was much safer...
When the sunset was stacked on the edge of the west sky, reflecting the entire courtyard, Zhao Fengnian came back from outside, entered the second door, and looked at Niuniu's stiff body from a distance, holding a pottery bowl, staring cautiously at the front of his feet, extremely surprised, before he could ask, the sharp-eyed Wu Yu had already discovered him, and shouted evilly, "Sir, you bought roast chicken and came back!" ”
Niuniu walked for so long, her stomach was hungry, she heard the word "roast chicken", and immediately looked up at the door in surprise, but the pottery bowl fell down, clanged, and shattered into more than a dozen pieces, and the results of persisting for most of the hour came to naught, she jumped up in annoyance and shouted, "My baked cakes!" ”
Wu Yu laughed and fell directly under the table, Niuniu naturally couldn't swallow this breath, and didn't care about the pottery bowl, picked up the wooden stick and hit him again.
Zhao Fengnian was even more puzzled, stepped forward, sat next to Rui Xue, took the herbal tea she had poured, drank two sips, and asked, "When did our pottery bowl change to roast cakes?" ”
Rui Xue smiled narrowly, "This is to teach Niu Niu to learn the rules, she loves to eat baked cakes, this pottery bowl is called baked cakes, if she likes to eat egg custard one day, she will change it to egg custard." This girl loves to eat, there is no reward or punishment, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn this rule for many years. ”
Zhao Fengnian looked up at the two little fights, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Why did you come back so late in the city today?" Rui Xue took out the handkerchief and wiped the thin sweat on his head for him, Zhao Fengnian looked at Caiyun Caiyue to pick up the fragments of the pottery bowl, and there was no one around, so he grabbed her hand and held it gently, and said, "Some small things have been delayed, I have to go out for a morning tomorrow, and then I will accompany you at home." ”
Rui Xue read a sentence in her previous life, saying that men are kites in the sky, and women hold the spool in their hands, when to loosen the string, when to tighten the string, the important thing is the 'degree', and this 'degree' is an art, only a smart and wise woman can learn it.
Although she didn't think she was a smart woman and didn't understand the essence of that art, she inquired about everything big and small, and even asked three words when a man went to a toilet, she wouldn't do such a stupid thing, so although she was also curious about what Zhao Fengnian was busy with, she smiled and only said, "Don't be too tired, I'll come back early tomorrow, and I'll cook you a new dish for lunch." ”
What is more heart-warming than such a wife, more heart-warming than such words, Zhao Fengnian sighed in his heart, not to mention asking for a hundred families of rice for her, that is, thousands of thousands of rice and thousands of families, or even more difficult things, he is willing to do it, just ask for the safety of his wife and children, and the warm and peaceful days of the family will last for a long time until he is old...
When the night darkened, the family had eaten, Zhao Fengnian took the children and the maids down, under the pretext that he was tired from going out today, he took Ruixue to sleep early, and finally hoped that she would fall asleep, so he quietly got up and went out, wanting to go to the Yun family to get the talisman paper, but as soon as he opened the door, he met the old couple of the Yun family who came to the door together, and the second aunt of Yun carefully instructed him a lot of words, and then said goodbye and went back.
Zhao Fengnian was grateful, and when he saw them go away, he took the two pieces of yellow paper with strange patterns painted with cinnabar, and closed the door.
Amber heard the commotion, and when he saw him like this, he asked, "What is the matter at such a late hour?" ”
Zhao Fengnian was a little embarrassed, after all, he didn't give medicine to his wife and children, but he believed in these gods and ghosts, and he was suspected of questioning the old man's medical skills, and he didn't know what excuse to cover it up for a while.
The old man was sharp-eyed, and when he saw the rune paper in his hand, he actually stroked his beard and smiled, "I'm afraid that the snow girl hasn't gone to the root of the disease of fright, she is now pregnant, and the calming prescriptions such as cinnabar can't be used, so it's good to try such a folk method, maybe it's some use." ”
Zhao Fengnian hurriedly saluted and thanked him, "Thank you for your compassion." ”
"Thank me for what I've done, let's go back quickly." The old man walked back to the house with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Fengnian hurriedly walked back to the backyard, took the flint, lit one at the door of the hall, and called softly, "Snow, go home, snow, follow me home..." ”
In this way, his mouth was dry, and he felt that it should be almost over, so he breathed a sigh of relief, put away the flint, and lay down beside his wife in his clothes, seeing that although her brows were furrowed, she did not twitch anymore, and her heart was much more stable.
Early the next morning, Rui Xue opened her eyes, stretched her waist, and felt as if she had slept sweeter than the previous nights, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, Caiyun could hear the movement and push the door in, seeing this, she smiled and said, "Madame's complexion is so good today, how about the slave maid find you a set of brightly colored dresses, and then comb your sideburns?" ”
