Luan'er said: "Miss Xiliu, this time Yueji is gone, Mr. Mo has not found a candidate, she is harder, our girl often asks me to help in my spare time, but I haven't heard her mention anything, what are you asking for?" ”

I hurriedly said, "But casually ask, it's been too tight lately." ”

Luan Er said with a smile: "The monster is taken by the prestige of the Dragon God, so I don't dare to come out and make trouble." ”

I nodded and said goodbye, Miss Xiliu's room is an end, only a room next to Miss Mandarin Duck, is there really nothing abnormal?

At this time, Luan'er turned around and smiled: "Speaking of Miss Xiliu, I always feel that she has something to be happy about!" A while ago, I was worried, but recently I am smiling like a flower. ”

I suddenly remembered that when she mentioned the words "grateful" when she prayed to Longjing, did she have any wish come true?

I decided to keep an eye out for Miss Saiyanagi.

On this day, my father was making taro cakes again, and I asked, "Which girl didn't ask for my sister's favorite spring cakes, but asked for taro cakes?" ”

Dad replied: "It's Miss Xiliu, she said that she liked it, and I ordered some more this time, and you sent it in the evening." ”

"Okay," I immediately responded as soon as I heard that it was related to Miss Xiliu.

In the evening, I went to pay attention to Miss Xiliu, and saw that she had apricot eyes and peach cheeks, red lips and white teeth, but she was much more beautiful than a few days ago, full of energy, and happy with her eyebrows, which was like two people who were haggard a few days ago.

I put down the taro cake and asked, "Miss Xiliu looks good, I think there is something happy?" ”

Miss Xiliu smiled: "I can have any happy events, but the business is good these days, and I don't see a lot of strange faces." ”

"Oh?" I smiled and said, "I don't know where the girl's benefactor is?" ”

When the Xiliu girl mentioned the benefactor, the smile in her eyes became even stronger: "He came to Beijing from the Western Regions to do business, specializing in selling some silk brocade, but he has some assets, and he is quite generous to me." ”

"Oh, isn't that a happy event, congratulations to Miss Xiliu, I think this taro crisp is also very appetizing?" I laughed.

"Boss Mei's craftsmanship, how can there be a discordant appetite?" When the Xiliu girl heard me say, she became more and more happy, and took a silk handkerchief in her hand: "This is the brocade of the Western Regions given to me by my benefactor, and it is a pattern and texture that we don't have here." "I took it and took a closer look, it is a shiny material of Ambilight, embroidered with flowing water, and it can change color under the lamp, it is soft and smooth to the touch, it is really a good thing, it must be worth a lot of money, the boss who sells this kind of goods, must have rich assets, and I can't help but bless the luck of Xiliu girl Liu Dark Flower and another village.

Saying goodbye to Miss Xiliu, I went out with a food box, and when I went downstairs, I saw a tall man, wearing a satin robe with a yellow tuanhua flower, a ripe brown silk belt, a yellow face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a middle-aged man with a heroic color was walking up, I hurriedly went back to the staircase, and saw his back into the house of the Xiliu girl, presumably this is the Xiliu girl's wealthy family, and the silk merchant of the Western Regions who loves to eat taro crisp.

I secretly shouted hello to Miss Xiliu, and went downstairs to go back.

The willow trees are green these days, and my father wants me to pick some willow buds and come back.

Mr. Willow flowers grow leaves again, take the tender female flower spike of the willow tree, boiling water scalded the astringency, take out the sesame oil pepper fine salt and finely adjusted, mixed with fried peanuts, it is a fashionable cold dish, after a few days the male flower spike of the poplar comes out - all call it a caterpillar, choose the fat and ruddy flower spike to pick up, the same boiling water blanched, drain and cut foam, mix with the minced tender beef foam, point to soy sauce sesame oil and beat a raw egg for filling, the steamed buns in the basket drawer or the pan to make fried buns are fragrant and delicious, especially the people who read books like it, These two dishes together are called spring and gradually green willows, and it is said that the willows are green and elegant.

Long Jing thought that he was tired of eating big fish and meat, although I was busy picking poplar willow green during the day and delivering supper at night these days, and I didn't have time to visit the Dragon God Temple, he still sent melon slices into parrots and told me: "The Dragon God wants to eat Yang Liuqing!" The dragon god wants to eat Yang Liuqing! ”

I had no choice but to respond, and went to pick more, Yang Liuqing has been in short supply these days, Longjing has a big appetite, fortunately, melon slices flew to accompany me, helping me to pick a lot from a high place out of reach.

Although it is an elegant thing to see the willows along the river, after all, I also came to work, and after a while, I was tired and had back pain, so I had to find a clean bluestone by the river and sit down to rest.

At this time, I saw Luan'er and Qiu'er coming to the river to wash clothes, I was about to bluff them, and suddenly I heard them mention Miss Xiliu, I had a lot of eyes, and I was busy squatting down and didn't make a sound, and listened to what happened to Miss Xiliu.

First of all, Qiu'er complained that Miss Ruixia's benefactor was an illiterate rough person, relying on a bit of ancestral property, and constantly swearing all day long, and Miss Ruixia couldn't understand the songs she sang, she only knew how to listen to fun, and she told some vulgar jokes, and she had to laugh with her, so it wasn't annoying.

Luan Er also smiled: "How can the benefactor be picked, and the benefactor will give a reward, that is a fortunate thing, people still have to know that they can be happy for a long time." My girl, those old men, only know how to quote scriptures all day long, so they are not sour. ”

At this time, Qiu'er said: "What my sister said is very true, our girls are all popular, and the reward is more or less better than others, if you are like the Xiliu girl, you have to lose a few laps if you don't starve to death, and you don't blame the moon season for running."

Luan'er said: "That is to say, there is not even a benefactor all day, but I don't know where Miss Xiliu has come from these days!" It's pitiful, Yueji is gone, and the maid hasn't been matched until now, so she freshens up all day long, so it's not hard. ”

Hey? The rich benefactor of the Xiliu girl, isn't it that they are separated by a wall, and they have never seen it?

In this way, the matter of the rich benefactor, Miss Xiliu didn't take it out?

But there is only a wall away, and the benefactor is dressed as a rich man who attracts attention, maybe he has never met it! I said to myself, Originally, it was too late for Luan'er to serve her girl's benefactor, and she would definitely not have time to wander around like me.

After enough rest, I called the melon slices to change places, and then I heard Luan'er say: "Maybe the Xiliu girl can't stand the loneliness, but recently I often hear the Xiliu girl talking in her dreams!" It's a pity to see that on this day, there is rarely a person to speak. ”

"Oh? Xiliu girl has the habit of talking in dreams do not say, I am afraid that the head is a little stimulated, once I sent my girl back to the house at night, are ugly, I am sleepy tears ripples, just want to sleep quickly, a stairs but saw a snow-white figure standing at the end of the corridor, bluffing I almost fell down the stairs, brave to take a closer look, it was actually Xiliu girl, she also read what Shi is struggling, especially can say also, the woman is shy, can not say "side back to the room, and ignore me, go back to the room to tell my girl, My girl sighed and said that maybe she went crazy and sleepwalked! Look at how sad the unhappy sister is!

Qiu'er hurriedly echoed and said yes, yes! Now I just hope that she can have a familiar benefactor, and it is better to be good, and it is better to fill the house with a concubine than to suffer a lot here.

My heart sank, I just felt that it wasn't as simple as sleepwalking, no, it was also the miserable thing that happened to the peony girl, right?

I had enough of the willow buds, and decided to wait for the evening to deliver supper and check on the silk merchant again.

As expected, Miss Xiliu is ordering taro crisp every day, indicating that the benefactor comes every day.

This strange thing was not the problem of the girl of Siliu, or the problem of the silk merchant. When you send taro cakes in the evening, you must ask about the businessman.

I finally looked forward to the time to send supper, I hurriedly carried the food box, the night was cold, and my mother asked me to wear a white fox scarf.

When I came to the Xiliu girl's house, I saw that the Xiliu girl had finished dressing up, wearing a hood of sable fur, and was about to go out, so I hurriedly asked, "Is the girl going out tonight?"

Miss Xiliu nodded with a smile: "Uncle Zhu called me to his house, saying that he was accompanying him to watch the church."

I hurriedly asked, "Is it far away?" Girl, do you want to hire a carriage?"

Miss Xiliu smiled: "It's not far away, it is said that it is the Huaishu Alley on Zhuxia Street, which is only three streets away from Ziyuchai Street." Uncle Zhu sent a boy to pick me up, and it didn't take long for me to arrive. As he was talking, a young man wearing a brocade robe with yellow teeth and white flowers, combed two round buns, and an apple face, and two sharp tiger teeth came over, and said respectfully: "Girl, please, my master has set up a banquet and has been waiting for a long time."

Miss Xiliu stood up in response, picked up the taro cake, the young man hurriedly took it, and reached out to pick up Miss Xiliu, glanced at me, suddenly seemed to be stunned, and said to me again: "Would the girl like to go with you?"

I was stunned for a moment, and Miss Xiliu said, "If it's convenient, can you come with me?"

Although it's a little inappropriate to go with me like this, maybe people are just polite words, but in order to find out the demonic thing, I decided to be cheeky and go with it! nodded at the moment: "Mei Cai likes to watch the play the most, if it is convenient, Mei Cai will be disturbed."

When the young man heard this, he hurried to lead the way.

Out of the Yanyu Pavilion, a splendid mahogany cart with two beautiful jujube red horses, waiting on the side of the road, next to two tall and one short wearing black hats, wearing green clothes with long bearded servants, very magnificent.

The boy led us to the car, the car is very spacious, the apricot yellow group pattern cushion, the good green gauze cover in the car window, the car floats a faint sweet fragrance, it turns out that there is a luxurious green jade lion incense burner in the car.

Looking at this situation, the assets of the silk merchant should not be underestimated. I was both glad and worried about Miss Xiliu.

The carriage turned and turned, and the journey was very smooth, and in a short time the servant was heard shouting, "Please get out of the carriage, girl, the house has arrived."

I jumped off first, and then helped the Xiliu girl to get out of the car, and looked up, only to see a big house, the gray wall of the Zhumen, and the two big stone lions at the door, showing their teeth and claws under the reflection of the red lantern, lifelike. At the door, there were maids in Tsing Yi who greeted them, some carried lanterns, and some supported the Xiliu girl. I followed the crowd into the mansion, and there was a large yellow wooden plaque hanging on the house, on which were written the words "Zhu Mansion".
