Chapter 146: Winter (1)

In winter, the first snow always comes so suddenly, and the ground is snowy overnight. Jiang Wanmu woke up in the morning and lay on the bed, when she heard the sound of 'rustling' outside, she thought it was a woman cleaning the courtyard. Later, she realized that something was wrong, she hurriedly dressed and tied her hair, ran to push open the window, and found that the window had been blocked by snow, and she finally pushed the window open with both hands.

Last night must have been the first snow that fell overnight, but today it was replaced by the white snow that filled the yard. The world in front of us is so crystal clear, and nature gives people the most beautiful enjoyment from time to time, but unfortunately many people miss the wonderful scenery in front of them for their livelihood or for something else. Jiang Wanmu looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside the window, the snowflakes that could fall into her hands this year will not come again in winter next year. Until next winter, she will be in the warm south, only afraid that there will be no wind and rain and no snow.

In the autumn of autumn, Fang Zheng and Mu Gen came back from Zhongnan, where they bought a small courtyard with two entrances in the name of Jiang Xiaolazi. When Fang Zheng knew that Jiang Wanmu wanted to buy a yard in Zhongnan, he once proposed: "Miss, I have inquired, the yard in the countryside of Zhongnan is cheaper than the yard in the city, and the yard is spacious and has some fields, which is suitable for temporary residence." After Miss Calm came back, it was convenient for us to hire someone to take care of it. When Fang Zheng said this, he still had a yearning look on his face, and Mu Gen on the side had a look of approval.

Hearing this, Jiang Wanmu shook her head, looked at the two of them cautiously and cautiously said: "Fangzheng, brother, there are only a few people around me who can be trusted, and none of us know agriculture. It's just a few years of temporary stay, and I don't want everyone to bother to study farming. Besides, what we are familiar with is only a matter in the city, so we don't have to leave what we are familiar with and do jerky things. The small and delicate yard in the city will be easier to sell in the future than in the country. You two go over and look. It doesn't matter if the price is more expensive, the location is good and safe to live in, so you can buy it. Don't have a big yard. ”

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanmu sighed secretly in her heart, and withdrew her hand that was about to stretch out the window. Turn your head and go in to comb it. She has to go out of the palace today, and she has a lot to do outside. After Jiang Wanmu combed it. I walked to the window to see why Ji Yan, who came early on weekdays, hadn't come yet. She looked into the courtyard at a glance, Mingtou was carrying a burden in her hand, and she was pestering Ji Yan to speak. Ji Yan facing the window, obviously with a look of embarrassment.

Jiang Wanmu hadn't seen Mingtou for a long time, since that day at the intersection of the study, after seeing her that time. He never saw her again. Mingtou is a special existence in Lian Hao's courtyard, and the woman in charge clearly wants to take care of her, but in fact, she doesn't dare to take care of her affairs secretly. And Jiang Wanmu, this lady, has always acted in name only, and it is not as good as being transparent in the palace. Ming Tou used to come over occasionally to talk to Jiang Wanmu, looking at respect on her face, but in fact, she was vain and vain, but she was seen by other people in the palace, so that those with vision thought that she was acting in an extremely regular manner.

Jiang Wanmu's mind was not in the palace, about the things in Lian Hao's courtyard. Just listen to the women in charge and tell them to do what is customary. The woman in charge was originally a face-saving person, but when she saw her so knowledgeable, she gradually became closer. Sometimes she would turn a corner to remind her of something. The more people go outside, the more respectful they can get along with each other. Jiang Wanmu glanced at her housekeeper and hurriedly motioned for her to pay attention to Mingtou.

Jiang Wanmu looked at the woman in charge walking over, and Ji Yan immediately pulled out of the relaxed look. She smiled and retreated from the window, and after a while, she heard Ji Yan's brisk footsteps sounding outside the door, and heard her calling softly outside: "Miss, are you awake?" Jiang Wanmu replied in her mouth: "The door is open, come in by yourself." You're a little later today. Ji Yan opened the door outside, entered the room and saw the open window, hurriedly closed the window, and said, "Miss, it's cold, it's better to open the window less." ”

After Ji Yan closed the window tightly and finished speaking, thinking of Jiang Wanmu's usual habits, he automatically pushed the window open a crack slightly, turned his head to Jiang Wanmu and said, "Miss, just open such an opening to let in the air." Jiang Wanmu asked her to open the window a little, and immediately closed it a little smaller and then pushed it bigger, and after a while, the opening of the window finally met Ji Yan's heart. The voice of the woman delivering breakfast came from the courtyard, and Ji Yan trotted out.

Jiang Wanmu was stunned, Ji Yan had never shown such hunger like this morning on weekdays. She heard Ji Yan's joyful laughter in the room: "The two sisters-in-law have worked hard, it's cold, hurry up and go into the room to warm up for a while." Such a loud and attentive greeting voice and a friendly and polite whispered auspicious words are two people who are completely different. The smell of food wafted into the room, and two young women walked through the door smiling.

After the two young women entered the room, one handed the large bowl of thick cloth in his hand to Ji Yan and said, "Ji Yan, this is your breakfast." Jiang Wanmu smiled and said, "Ji Yan, you go to eat first." The two sisters-in-law are waiting here, and I don't need too many people here. "When there are people, Jiang Wanmu never eats with Ji Yan. Ji Yan glanced at Jiang Wanmu and nodded with a smile and said, "Miss, I'll come over with a good breakfast." The two women had gently placed the rice bowl wrapped in thick cloth in their hands on the table.

Jiang Wanmu helped open the bowl wrapped in thick cloth on the table, smelling the fragrant food. The two young women are people who often come to deliver food, they were extremely restrained and nervous when they first looked at Jiang Wanmu's behavior, and then after seeing that Jiang Wanmu was really just helping, the two gradually relaxed their hearts, and now they are quite accustomed to Jiang Wanmu's conscious and voluntary behavior. They helped set the meal, and one of the women was carrying a large bundle of leaves.

She blushed and handed the things in her hand to Jiang Wanmu and said, "Madam, these two roasted soybeans are planted by a small man, and after the small ones are roasted, please taste them." Jiang Wanmu took it smoothly, her hands immediately felt warm, she could smell the fragrance oozing from the leaf bag, and opened the tree bag with a smile, revealing two big black bumps inside. Jiang Wanmu stared at the two black things dumbfounded, she was embarrassed to refuse the woman's wishes, so she could only smile and praise: "It's so fragrant." ”

The woman nodded happily and said, "The little man is doing a good job in farming, and the soybeans he grows are better than those grown by others." Madam, don't think it's ugly to be dark outside, with this layer of black protection, the soybeans inside are not so cold so quickly. After breakfast, when the lady feels a little hungry, peel off the black outside, and you can eat. Hot is better than cold, and if Madame doesn't dislike the coarse soybeans, I will come over to Madame to eat them after they are roasted in the future. Jiang Wanmu's kindness to others will never be easily refused, she smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you." Just don't work too you. ”

Hearing this, the woman blushed and shook her head and said, "It's not hard, as long as Madame likes it, I still have it at home, and I bake it for Madame every day、、。 She had much to say, but the other woman could not stand it and dragged her down. After Ji Yan had eaten, she saw Jiang Wanmu cleaning up the table, and the two black bumps on the table, she smelled the fragrance and said to Jiang Wanmu with a smile: "This is the roasted soybean sent by Sister-in-law Chen, right?" Jiang Wanmu nodded and said, "Well, I said that I grew it at home, and I will send it in the future, this affection is too heavy, and I can't afford it." ”

Jiang Wanmu thought about it and said to Ji Yan in a low voice: "You want to remind her without being noticed, saying that I have her intentions, but don't put it on the surface like this next time." Alas, I'm just doing favors, but I can't cut off other people's back roads because of this. "Jiang Wanmu This summer, she once met Chen's sister-in-law who lost her money to buy medicine on the road, and she just borrowed some broken silver for emergency use. Afterwards, when he knew that she couldn't afford it, he casually said that because he was grateful for her dedication, he specially rewarded her with the silver.

But the woman was so grateful to her that if she had food at home that she thought was good, she would give her a copy to taste. After hearing this, Ji Yan said softly: "Miss, I have told Sister-in-law Chen several times behind my back, and she said that although she is a rough person, she can still distinguish the good and bad of people. I see that she is acting steadily, so don't worry too much. I heard that the delicious soybeans in her house were told by the masters above. It's just that they dislike the dirty roast one by one, and they must cook it in their own small kitchen. You see everyone has a share, miss, you can eat with confidence. ”

After Ji Yan said this, he thought of something else, and deliberately said to Jiang Wanmu: "Miss, it's snowing." We still have a lot of golden beans, do you want to reward more people during the Chinese New Year this year? After hearing this, Jiang Wanmu looked at her with a smile and said, "What are you afraid of, the golden beans are not afraid of being bad." Some irrelevant people, let's not waste it. She stood up and tied the two black balls back with leaves, and said to Ji Yan with a smile: "Let's come back and eat together, let's take out these dishes and chopsticks." ”

Jiang Wanmu stretched out her hand to help ask for a bowl on the table, Ji Yan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed all of them, and said with a smile: "Miss, this work is still all handed over to me, but it is just a matter of sending it out of the room." Miss, the new pattern of the handkerchief you made, the store is looking forward to it. Do you see if you didn't put the veil in the box? Jiang Wanmu let go of her hand and said with a smile: "I put it in the box last night, fortunately, your brother doesn't want to make clothes now, or he asks me to provide clothes patterns, I don't have that good ability." ”

Ji Yan quickly turned around when he sent the bowl, and then said in a low voice: "Miss, you just have no interest in making clothes, if you have the heart to do it, you must do it." Jiang Wanmu was holding the cloth bag in her hand, ready to go to the door, and glared at her funny when she heard this: "Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise after outsiders hear this, they will definitely laugh at me." I still know my own business, I have seen the embroidery girls embroidered the handkerchief, they can embroider the flowers of the handkerchief, the flowers on my handkerchief, there is no work of their flowers. ”

Jiang Wanmu is a human being in two lives, and she is equally talentless in painting. She raised her feet and walked towards the door, but Ji Yan stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down, and said to her: "Miss, I remember, last time Brother Mugen said that he liked the soles you made, and said that they were comfortable and warm to wear, why don't you tell me now, how do you make the soles?"
