Chapter 144: Hundred Flowers Wine
"Let's go over and let them prepare first, and when the aunt comes, I'll let people come directly to the pear orchard to find us." Young Master Yan stood up.
"Okay." Liu Man'er nodded.
She can be regarded as knowing Young Master Yan, although Qingya looks unapproachable, but in fact, she is also a very enthusiastic heart, but what she has always wondered is that there is only Young Master Yan in the entire Yan family? She didn't seem to have seen Master Yan and Mrs. Yan, nor did she see his wife.
Maybe it was because his level among Young Master Yan's guests was not enough, and it was not enough to see many relatives in his family, Liu Man'er didn't care, just silently followed Young Master Yan to the pear orchard, on the way Young Master Yan asked, and she replied.
Walking to the pear orchard, Young Master Yan instructed the class master to prepare, and the two of them sat down first and waited to watch the play.
Sitting and eating some melons and fruits, Liu Man'er didn't feel embarrassed, on the contrary, she felt quite comfortable.
Young Master Yan suddenly asked, "You said your husband is a soldier?" ”
"yes." Liu Man'er was stunned when she suddenly heard him ask about this, then nodded and said, "You saw him last time." ”
"Hmm." Young Master Yan was silent after answering, and after a long silence, he asked again: "I heard that the war in the north is very ordinary now, he went to be a soldier, can you rest assured?" ”
"Don't worry." Liu Man'er said straightly: "But what can I do? There are always people on the frontier. ”
Young Master Yan hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Then what should you do if something happens to him?" ”
"What should I do?" Liu Man'er laughed, "That's it, you see I'm living like this by myself now." ”
But she replied like this, but if there really is a day, she doesn't know what to do, she just hopes that if there is no such possibility, he is so powerful, he will definitely be fine.
When Young Master Yan heard her say this, he didn't ask any more.
However, Liu Man'er began to gossip in her heart, idle and bored, she couldn't help asking, "Young Master Yan, have you married a wife?" ”
"Nope." Young Master Yan shook his head.
"Why?" Liu Man'er asked puzzled.
"There's no why, I just don't want to harm other girls." Young Master Yan picked up the teacup, took a sip and put it down.
"How can a character like you be a scourge to other people's girls' families, as long as you say that you haven't married a wife yet, I don't know how many girls will rush up." Liu Man'er said with a smile.
Listening to Steward Wu say that this Young Master Yan is almost thirty years old, and if he doesn't marry, it is indeed a little strange, and he must be a person with a story.
However, Liu Man'er didn't like to listen to other people's stories, she was afraid that she would hurt others, so she didn't continue to ask.
After a word of comfort, I drank tea with peace of mind and ate some melons and fruits, well, the things of the big families are different, and the things in these eight treasures plate feel delicious, so it is still very useful to make money, at least you can buy what you like to eat.
While eating, Fang and the others came over, the first time they came to such a big courtyard, Fang was a little apprehensive in his heart, hearing Liu Man'er say that this was Young Master Yan, she hurriedly bowed down with Young Master Yan, and Young Master Yan supported her with his hand.
"Okay, since my aunt is here, let's start singing." Young Master Yan commanded.
Liu Man'er also nodded, she was not interested in this play anyway, this time Young Master Yan sang as if it was the same play again, Liu Man'er originally thought that she should be interested, but what she didn't expect was that she listened very seriously.
Maybe I was infected by Fang's serious appearance of watching the play, at the climax of the story, Liu Man'er looked sideways, and Fang's beside her had already picked up a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, Liu Man'er really couldn't figure it out, how touching was this story? Many things are not so good, they are just added to them by later generations.
People always like beautiful things, but where in this world is there so much beauty?
Many things are not as good as people think, and most of the things that can be left are regrets.
But I still hope that there are lovers in the world who can eventually become married.
After singing the song, Liu Man'er asked, "Is there a shadow puppet show?" Why don't I watch a shadow puppet show, my mother and mother are in tears when you watch this play. ”
Hearing Liu Man'er's joke, Fang Shi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief a little embarrassed, and said, "It's all the people who sing this opera that sing so well, my soul is about to be broken by them." ”
Liu Man'er nodded, in fact, she felt that she had goosebumps from what they sang, but that Hua Dan looked really good, but it was a pity.
"Shopkeeper Ye likes to watch shadow puppetry, right?" Young Master Yan asked.
"Well, it's not that I like to watch it, I think it's interesting." Liu Man'er nodded.
Young Master Yan shook his head and said, "That's really a pity, I didn't invite anyone who sang shadow puppets to come today, next time." ”
"Then don't bother." Liu Man'er said.
Next, Young Master Yan came over with the play list, Liu Man'er handed it to Fang's, Fang's ordered a song of agarwood to save his mother, and he was moved to tears.
Liu Man'er was a little scared, she decided not to bring Fang's to the play next time, otherwise she would be too deep in the play, and if she cried every time, it would hurt her body too much.
After watching the two scenes, Liu Man'er got up and said goodbye, after all, she has to go home today, she has handed over the matter of the shop and restaurant to Liu Yunsheng and Han Shixin, in the future, they just need to show her the account book, she doesn't need to go to the county seat often.
After the beginning of spring, the villagers began to get busy again, Liu Man'er took out the silver she had saved last year to buy 20 acres of paddy fields, and then bought 5 acres of dry land, which she leased out, and the dry land was planned to be used to grow vegetables in greenhouses at that time.
But it's still early to plant those, but you can plant a season of peanuts in it, and she doesn't need to take care of it anyway.
After last year, her shiitake mushrooms have been distributed all over the house, which makes her very happy, and she handed over this shiitake mushroom to Aunt Han to help take care of it, and she herself is a hands-off shopkeeper.
There are more sheep this year than last year, the whole family can not only drink goat milk, Liu Man'er can also use it to wash his face, the tree planted last year, this year has sent out new shoots, presumably in a few years, it is a canopy like a hat, it seems that everything in life is on the right track, but Liu Man'er feels that the whole person is a little empty, and he doesn't know what to do all day long.
I didn't have anything to do, so I found something to do for myself, such as taking care of Ye Tianchen, or painting and copying books at home.
When spring comes, she writes down the scenery of the entire courtyard, and sometimes she can paint it all day long, after all, this courtyard is quite large, and it is not so simple to paint it all at once.
I haven't painted for a long time, my craft is a little rusty, I use a brush, and I can't draw well, and I waste a lot of paper, so I can often draw one or two paintings that satisfy her.
Seeing Liu Man'er start to paint, the two little girls in the family begged her to teach her to paint, so Liu Man'er threw them a set of brushes and some paints, and let them draw and play on the side.
Also, painting is a waste of time, and it's hard to spend your spare time, and if you don't work, you really don't know what to do.
However, she is also accustomed to life without TV and no Internet, every day the rooster at home will wake her up, she can watch the sun to estimate the time, go to bed when it is dark, draw, read, and write during the day, and the days pass quite quickly.
Especially now that spring is coming, Liu Man'er took the two little girls to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and took them to hunt with bows and arrows, which made the two little girls happy to death.
Sometimes Liu Man'er also rode a horse and took the two of them for a ride, which was the happiest thing for the two children, and time passed minute by minute in these days.
The honeysuckle at home is blooming brilliantly one by one, and the willow vines pluck them, dry them, and make honeysuckle tea.
Sometimes she will carry a basket, ride a horse, go to the roadside to pick flowers, at this time the peach blossoms are in full bloom for a while, the willow vines with grass and floating green to the peach blossom forest in the village, the cloth they brought on the ground, and then shake the branches vigorously, the peach blossom petals are like a petal rain, very beautiful.
She doesn't have the same mind as Daiyu girl, she is just idle and bored, and wants to pick flowers to make wine.
Peach blossoms, pear blossoms, plum blossoms, apricot blossoms, etc. were all poisoned by her.
Sometimes reaching out and picking up a petal makes me feel a little different.
First brew the liquor, wash the petals, dry them, put them in a small vat, then pour in the green plums, pour in the washed strawberries, and finally pour the wine into it, seal it, and you can do it.
Anyway, she is not a person who understands alcohol, so she is just idle and has nothing to do.
If she can make a good vat of wine by chance, it will be her luck, even if the wine she brews will not taste good, but it will be absolutely beautiful.
Good looks should be able to attract a lot of people, haha, it's also good to use as a gift when the time comes, and in the summer, take them out and put them in your own small store, which can attract a lot of people.
Provided, of course, that she lacks a good-looking bowl.
That's right, it's the legendary glass jar, if you use this thing to hold colorful fruit wine, then it's attractive.
It's just a pity that this ancient technology is not developed, and this glass is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it at all. Liu Man'er knows a little bit about the recipe for making glass, if she fires this glass, presumably this glass will not be valuable, right?
However, the problem is that the husband is not guilty of her guilt, even if she makes it at that time, but it will not be her turn, so let's bear with it, wait until Ye Yuan comes back, and when Ye Feng becomes a big official, then she can take out her glass formula and use it.
At that time, the windows were so bright and clean that she must replace all her shops with glass, so that others could see its trenches at a glance.
It's just that now I can only think about it, maybe she will never take out these recipes, just let this place go in its original direction, and she will always be a bystander, watching this long river of history roll forward.
