Chapter 858: Peeling an orange for grandma
Without waiting for his grandmother to respond, Huang Shan beckoned quickly, and the palace maid guard with good eyesight immediately left the room. Grandma is kind-hearted, this winter, although it is not snowing, but it is also extremely cold, how can she stand outside? So she went into the room, looked at the strangers, and said to Ah Candle:
"Let them go back and rest! I don't need so many people to take care of me. ”
"Grandma, these are originally palace people, if you let them all rest, the saint will blame them."
"Then let them in, it's too cold outside."
Grandma has always been kind-hearted and doesn't want to give Ah Candle a troublesome reputation, and the latter knows it, so she asks Huangshan and them to come in. It was okay to come in, but it was difficult to sit down, but at Grandma's repeated insistence, they still reluctantly sat on the side of the room, which seemed a little strange.
But the old lady's personality, you can see it clearly in a small matter, he is not arrogant because of the identities of Xia Xiao and A Candle, but as usual, take care of it like this, it is estimated that no one will say badly.
"Grandma, let's sleep for a while."
"Sleep during the day, and have nothing to do at night, I'll just lie down for a while."
Ah Zhu wiped the rouge powder off her grandmother's face and saw her taking a nap in the warm room. After lying down for a while, she woke up and leaned back on the bed to chat with Ah Candle. What she asked was nothing more than some palace affairs, probably what should I pay attention to, Ah Candle smiled, grabbed Grandma's hand, and told repeatedly:
"Grandma, no matter if I'm here or not, what do you want to do, just tell me to go down, don't be polite."
Xia Xiao peeled an orange for her grandmother, and when she handed it to her, she said with a smile:
"Grandma has a good heart, but life is long, you should always enjoy it, and now the materials are abundant, you don't need to save too much, and the same goes for manpower."
"That's it, grandma, what do you want to eat at night?"
"When there are few green vegetables in the mountains in winter, how about boiling some lean porridge at night, preparing a few vegetarian dishes, and adding some meat?"
"Good idea."
Seeing Xia Xiao and Ah Candle singing and harmonizing, Grandma naturally knew that they were people who were good for themselves and could save a lifetime, and two pickles could eat a meal, which was too fine, a little unnecessary, and a little wasteful. But just like Xia Xiao and Ah Candle said, she has saved it all her life, and now she should be in a dream, so she can enjoy it, no need to think about it, so that Xia Xiao and Ah Candle can rest assured!
In fact, there are some vegetables in the mountains in winter, but there are not many, but there is really no fruit in the hand. The small mountain village does not produce oranges, and the last time my grandmother ate it was when Ah Candle was at home. They went to Longgang to catch the market together, and when they saw that the orange fruit was about to be eaten, she only bought a few, and it had been some time since they thought about it, for five years.
Grandma subconsciously wanted to hand half an orange to Ah Candle, but it was still on the table, and there were people not far away, so she ate it alone. The sweet and sour oranges are so delicious that you can eat them in the evening. Seeing grandma eating, Ah Zhu naturally won't let his little mouth be idle. When she peeled the oranges, Xia Xiao said softly:
"Grandma, I'll go out."
"Go, go, go."
Grabbing an orange, Xia Xiao called Huang Shan, walked out of the door together, and went to the yard. As Langzhong of the Internal Affairs Office, he is managing the life of the old lady at this time, and the sweat in his palms has never been done, lest he offend Xia Xiao. It is said that a companion is like a tiger, and taking care of the old lady at this time is even more sloppy.
"The Holy One asked you to come, it must be because you are careful and experienced, I hope you don't let me down."
Huang Shan wanted to kneel, but was stopped by Xia Xiao, and prevaricated the orange in his hand to him, saying:
"Doing good deeds is the greatest respect for me, although my grandmother is old, but the body is still quite tough, usually whether it is three meals a day or snacks, you can prepare some. If she lets you eat, you don't have to worry too much about the rules, just eat with her. If you are asked to sit, you will sit down, pour yourself tea, and talk with them. The old man has been poor all his life, and he has never been served, so you have to pay attention to her thoughts when you take care of her, so that the old man will not feel ashamed of you, but do you understand what I mean? ”
"Xiaochen understands that no matter what he does, he must make the old lady live comfortably."
"Clever."
Xia Xiao returned to the room, there were potted medicinal herbs in the bedroom, a few plants were swinging there, and the cigarettes in the Gary Brain Golden Beast were like a fairyland on earth.
The temperature in the brazier was suitable, so that Xia Xiao blocked his strength in his body, and he didn't feel the slightest cold. He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the luxury of the bedding, and felt that the place was generally not bad, although it was not suitable for himself and Ah Candle, but it was suitable for grandma.
The old man felt little, but on a whim, he chatted happily with Ah Candle, and when he heard that the courtyard in this palace was good, he got up and wanted to take a look. Compared with the huge world and the pouring of red light and green wine, she still likes a quieter place, but now she has finally seen a place she has never seen before, and her heart is extremely peaceful.
Put on the coat and put on the big hat prepared in the palace, and then walked out into the bright sun. Afraid of grandma dizziness, everyone moves very slowly, and accompanies him to walk a few steps in the back garden, so that he can settle in the pavilion.
There are fluffy cushions on the stone chairs, and grandma sits comfortably, looking at the scenery outside, although it is not as vibrant as in spring, but there are fish swimming in the pool, and a group of sparrows are on the branches and leaves, tilting their heads to see this rare guest in the palace. There were pastries and fruits on the table in the pavilion, so that grandma saw it and said to Huangshan, who was always with her:
"You're bothered."
"Old lady is polite, you have cultivated a savior, which is what our countrymen should be grateful for."
Huangshan's sycophants were natural and smooth, but his grandmother motioned for him to sit, and he sat down. Although it was a little unreasonable and even a little rude in the eyes of the palace maids, when Grandma also beckoned them to sit, Huang Shan hurriedly said:
"Listen to the old lady, sit down."
At this time, Huang Shan understood Xia Xiao's hard work. An old lady in her last years, it is nothing to be called an old lady, just watching others standing beside her all the time, eating and drinking by herself, how can her heart be a little unbalanced. It's better to sit together, so it's better.
In the sunny day of winter, the sky was exceptionally clear, and my grandmother walked around and suddenly became a little trance. The so-called family happiness is nothing more than that, and then she went back to the inner bed and said to Xia Xiao:
"It's been a long time for you to come back, hurry up and go home, don't let the lord and lady worry."
"Grandma don't worry, I'll go back, you and A Candle are resting in the palace, there is Huangshan, you can say anything you want, don't be polite."
"Don't worry, there's still a candle here!"
Xia Xiao and Ah Candle glanced at each other before leaving. For a long time, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle have not been separated for a long time, they are inseparable, like talking shadows, but it is okay to be separated temporarily, after all, they all have things to do at present. Ah Candle asked Huang Shan to find a box and put all the gadgets in his backpack.
Watching Ah Candle pack up her childhood things, Grandma couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Look at you, you're all about to get married, and you're like a child."
"I was originally a child, Xia Xiao said that as long as I am with him, I will always be a child."
"You kids, it's romantic. If I heard this when I was young, my face would be red to the root of my ears, but it's okay, you fancy someone, yes! ”
"I think so too, Xia Xiao is very good, and many women like him."
Speaking of this, Ah Candle is a little proud, her vision is so good. Immediately after, she remembered a person and asked Huangshan.
"Has the princess of the Golong Bang clan left the Tsui?"
"It is estimated that they will leave today and tomorrow, after all, they are here to take refuge, and they should go back."
"What's wrong with her?"
Ah Candle leaned into her grandmother's ear and said that she was interesting to Xia Xiao. It was a princess, so Grandma asked with a little worry:
"Nothing will happen, will it?"
"No!"
Ah Candle was extremely sure, although she was a little arrogant, but I believed that even if she sat on Xia Xiao's lap, he would sit still, push him away, and maybe taunt a few words. Xia Xiao will always do something that she doesn't understand, but finds funny. When Ah Candle thought of Xia Xiao and sneered, Grandma Ling smiled:
"Look at you, you're smiling."
"Hey, a little excited."
"Ah Candle, don't be too long-winded, it's good to get married, but you can't be lazy in the future, you have to be considerate of your husband, especially a capable man like Xia Xiao. He usually has a lot of things to do, so you have to help her take care of the house. If she is in trouble, you have to accompany her through it. Husbands and wives are not the same forest birds, and they fly separately when disaster strikes, so you have to deal with your relationship. ”
"It is said that the water flows for a long time, no matter how good the relationship is, you can't always get tired of being together, you must know how to give him some personal space, and you can't force everything too hard. As human beings, whether you are in the Great Wilderness World or in the above worlds in the future, you must pay attention to these things. There is also the in-laws, you are going to live in Xia Mansion in the future, you have to have morning tea every day, you have to say goodbye, don't sleep every day and get up again. ”
"Got it, grandma."
Ah Candle was aggrieved, and grandma knew that she didn't like to hear it, so she scratched her little nose and said:
"You, although you don't have a father or a mother, but your life is good, you have met such a good man, and you can think about you everywhere."
"Of course my life is good, and I met grandma!"
Huang Shan sat at the table on the side, and when he saw the palace maids hearing their conversation, he couldn't help but smile, and his nervousness eased a lot.
A person who is grateful is better to get along with, because she knows that what she has received is not a deserved, but a gift, so she will not be arrogant. Huangshan's job is also better done. At the beginning, no one dared to take this job, it was forcibly given to him by the saint, and if it was not carried out well, it was estimated that he would be punished. But now it seems that it is not so difficult, at least looking at the appearance of Ah Candle and the old lady, it is very easy to serve.
It has always been easier for ordinary people to serve than for high-ranking officials and nobles. Because the latter knows the rules and knows when to do what they should do, but ordinary people are more peculiar. But now it seems that the old lady and Ah Candle are just talking in the room, and they are resting for a long time on the side, extremely relaxed.
It would be good if the days in the palace had been like this, and the palace maids listened to the old lady's words, and also went to get a few oranges, and peeled them and ate them when they were idle.
At first, they were a little unnatural, but it can be seen that the Lord of Huangshan is also like this, so he smiled happily, opened his cherry mouth, and tasted the sweet and sour precious tribute orange. Now the food is relatively tight, but there are still a lot of reserves in the palace. But usually, if you meet a bad master, let alone taste the winter tribute oranges, you don't dare to taste them when they are rotten.
When some old palace maids said this, the little palace maids who had just entered the palace were particularly happy and felt that they were lucky enough.
