Chapter 138: Accidents
After everyone else went out, Zheng said to Su Jinyin: "There is tea on the table, you can pour yourself a cup and drink it." ”
The full set of white porcelain and red plum tea bowls was used to let Su Jinyin drink tea, instead of smashing her, this was really the first time to eat dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Su Jinyin has not been close to the Zheng family for a long time, and she herself feels a little uncomfortable standing by the other party's bed like this. Simply obeyed Zheng's words, she carried the pot and poured a cup, and then the person also sat down at the table.
The heat in the tea bowl was dissipating, and the pleasant fragrance penetrated into the nose.
This is willow leaf tea.
Su Jinyin loves this tea, and she can recognize it by its smell.
She brought the tea bowl to her lips, blew on the heat, and took a small sip.
The sweet taste in her throat is her favorite taste.
"Well, I'm not new to my craft yet, am I?" asked Zheng.
Su Jinyin turned to look over, and Zheng's gaze on the bed completely fell on her, there was no commonplace disgust in this gaze, but there was undisguised expectation.
Is Zheng expecting her affirmation?
Su Jinyin felt that his idea was ridiculous. Zheng's tea should have been prepared for his father Su Keli.
Zheng didn't hear Su Jinyin's response, her face was disappointed, and she continued to explain: "Your father loves to drink the willow leaf tea I brewed the most. When I soaked it, it was a little different from everyone else. Ordinary people wash off the astringency for the first time and pour water directly into tea. But after I poured the water for the first time, I hung the tea leaves, and the water just soaked down, and the taste was delicious, sweet but not strong. ”
Zheng spoke this long paragraph very slowly, but it was still a little difficult. After saying that, she took several deep breaths before she calmed down.
Su Jinyin saw Zheng's breathless appearance, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. She explained to herself that it was because she was involved in Zheng's heart disease. Instead of worrying, she felt frustrated.
"You go to the dresser. Zheng added, "Open the bottom drawer." ”
Su Jinyin walked over as she said, squatted down and pulled the drawer out.
Inside is a row of small porcelain vases. The size and appearance are not much different from those of a medicine bottle.
"The teal vial is the best medicine for wounds. You bring it. ”
Zheng's words confirmed Su Jinyin's speculation.
Handing the green bottle to Zheng, Su Jinyin was about to turn around and leave, but was called by Zheng: "You sit down, just sit with me." ”
There was a small pestle placed next to the bed, and after people sat down, their eyes were at the same level as Zheng's lying down.
It can also make the person sitting on the pestle see Zheng's illness more clearly. Not only is his face pale, but his eyes are also a little blue, and a pair of eyes that are always full of anger on weekdays are also a little more godless at the moment.
And there seems to be a trace of ...... hidden in this godlessness
Su Jinyin lowered his eyes and staggered his gaze with Zheng.
"Give me your hand. Zheng raised his lips and smiled silently, whether this smile was mostly self-deprecating or sad, I'm afraid only Zheng himself knew in his heart. She reached out and touched Su Jinyin's face, and wanted to pull Su Jinyin's hand again.
Su Jinyin raised his hand and took the initiative to hold Zheng.
When there was a slight coolness from his fingertips, Su Jinyin came to his senses.
She really shouldn't have any mercy for the Zheng family. Compared to Zheng, it is more pitiful to herself.
My mother doesn't want to see her, and my father can punish himself with such a kind of means.
There was a burning sensation on the back of his hand, and Su Jinyin subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but was pulled by Zheng.
"This medicine is a little painful, but if you endure it, your hand will get better faster. Zheng pulled Su Jinyin's hand to his lips and blew gently.
The itchy feeling of goose feathers made Su Jinyin a little uncomfortable. When she was a child, she didn't have time to live, and even before she relived her life, she looked forward to Zheng's love for her. But never.
Now that she is dead, the Zheng family is also cold, but this kind of warm relationship between mother and daughter has come. Su Jinyin was a little at a loss.
She didn't like it.
Withdrawing his hand slightly from Zheng's hand, Su Jinyin stood up and said, "Thank you, mother." When the mother needs to recuperate, the daughter will not bother. ”
She turned around and wanted to leave, but she didn't.
Zheng said pleadingly: "Can you have a meal with me?"
As he spoke, Zheng stretched out one hand in the air, just like Su Jinyin's former heart.
With expectations, I hold my heart in front of each other, but I can't go up or down.
"Good. ”
Speaking to help, willow leaf tea, and medicine, there is always one that impresses Su Jinyin. There seemed to be a bit of guilt added to her frustration.
After all, although Zheng was irritable in the past, he did not have such a poor body. It was her use of the sound of the piano that had the opposite effect.
Su Jinyin helped Zheng sit up, and Meijing led the others to move the entire table back to the bed.
More than half of the dishes and pastries on the table are Su Jinyin's favorite.
Su Jinyin scooped out a bowl of soup and handed it to Zheng when it was not hot.
Zheng let Su Jinyin taste the steamed vegetables: "This pearl ball is what you loved to eat when you were a child." ”
Su Jinyin took one and put it in his bowl.
Zheng pointed to another one and said, "You also like this pumpkin cup, after eating it once at your grandfather's house, you went to the kitchen to ask for the recipe, and you were bumped into by your aunt." ”
Su Jinyin scooped a spoonful of pumpkin and placed it next to the pearl balls.
Zheng then referred to other things.
Every time Su Jinyin heard her say the same, she put a pair of chopsticks into her bowl. But most of the dishes were piled up, and she didn't have a single chopstick.
When Zheng saw this, he had fewer words in his mouth.
She scooped a spoonful of soup herself and put it in her mouth, and the spoon fell back into the bowl with her tears.
"Alright, get down. Zheng didn't take a second sip.
Meijing anxiously persuaded: "Madam, you can eat some more, the doctor said, even if you are reluctant, you have to swallow something by yourself." ”
"Madame, you haven't eaten anything today. When Meijing spoke, she glanced at Su Jinyin carefully.
The implication for help is obvious.
"Needless to say. Zheng waved his hand, and the person leaned back to the bed, tired.
"Mother, my daughter hasn't eaten yet. Su Jinyin took a piece of duck meat from the table and put it in his mouth.
Although she still didn't eat the dishes in the bowl, she took a few chopsticks and ate the other dishes.
"Is this duck meat delicious?" Zheng asked, looking at Su Jinyin.
"Well, do you want to taste it, mother?" replied with a nod from Su Jinyin.
"Okay, you clip it to me. Zheng took the bowl again.
Su Jinyin grabbed a pair of chopsticks and duck meat, and Zheng lowered his head and chewed it.
"My daughter thinks this three fresh foods are also good, does my mother want to try it?" Su Jinyin asked Zheng Shidao, pointing to another dish he had just eaten.
Zheng handed the bowl over.
"Miss, try this again. The beautiful scenery on the side looked at Su Jinyin gratefully, and she pointed out several dishes that were full of ingredients and easier to fill.
Su Jinyin put a pair of chopsticks into Zheng's bowl and asked Zheng, "Mother taste it first, can you see if it's delicious?"
"Hmm. Zheng took a chopstick and put it in his mouth, looked back with a gentle gaze, "Although it's not as sweet as you like, it actually tastes very good." Would you like to taste it too?"
"Good. Su Jinyin also took a chopstick to the entrance.
Two mothers and daughters, you taste it for me first, and I'll try it for you first.
When the dishes were withdrawn, only the dishes that Su Jinyin put into the bowl for the first time had not been eaten.
"It turns out that your taste has changed, and your mother has ignored it. What else do you want to eat, just tell your mother. Zheng smiled, and the joy in his heart was palpable.
When Su Jinyin saw her like this, she couldn't say anything else. At this time, she always reminded Zheng that she didn't eat pearl balls because she loved this dish when she was a child, and she didn't have this dish during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner; she didn't eat pumpkin cup because she hadn't bought pumpkins in the kitchen during that time since she returned from her grandfather's house; she didn't eat those dishes because every dish she had liked was banned by Zheng in the mansion.
In the earliest days, Su Jinyin was reluctant to stop liking those dishes because her mother didn't like them, and wanted to please her mother.
When she grew up, Su Jinyin understood, because she liked it, so her mother didn't like it, so she no longer indulged herself in liking it so warmly.
A person who loves sweets can be stayed, Su Jinyin thought that it was because he didn't express his love for a certain dish or a few dishes. Not long ago, she also knew, mainly because her father also liked sweets.
In short, these things are not pleasant memories.
"Yinyin, won't you forgive me?" Zheng may have remembered something, and her happy expression gradually faded.
Outside the courtyard, Su Jinyin's two maids were asking about the beautiful scenery.
"Can the slave maid go and bring dinner to the young lady?" Zhuyue thought that her young lady was being punished in the lady's courtyard again.
Meijing replied: "The eldest lady has already eaten, and she will rest in the lady's courtyard today, so you can go back." ”
Holding the moon and wanting to ask again, Meijing led everyone else away.
She wanted to look at the gate of the courtyard, but was blocked by the mother-in-law at the door.
On the way back, Zhi Wei asked Zhuyue: "Sister Zhuyue, have there always been four mothers-in-law guarding the door in Madame's courtyard?"
"It seems like there were only two in the past. "I also think it's strange.
Why doesn't Meijing serve in the courtyard?
Isn't the longest-serving and most effective maid by Madame's side the beauty of the beauty now?
What Zhuyue and Zhiwei can't see is that now in the entire courtyard, except for the four mothers-in-law guarding the door, there are only two people in it, Su Jinyin and Zheng.
