Chapter 119: Physiognomy
The woman was a good woman, and she really opened the pot and filled her with a bowl.
Xu Weiqiu took the bowl, found a small bench and sat down and tasted it carefully, this glutinous rice is really fragrant, with some salted egg yolk, small shrimp, and minced bacon, the taste is soft and glutinous and sweet, which is just right for her appetite.
It didn't take long for her to eat up the whole bowl, and she sighed, "It's delicious." ”
When the woman who served her food heard this, she said proudly, "Isn't it delicious?" This is the glutinous rice secretly made by our Confucian village, and it is not eaten under the mountain. ”
After eating a bowl of glutinous rice, Xu Weiqiu turned around and left without embarrassment, chatting with the women.
Although she is not a social cow, she is the kind of person who can talk to anyone as long as she is willing, and it didn't take long for her to get acquainted with several women.
The women began to beat rice cakes, and Xu Weiqiu watched from the sidelines.
The way they beat the cake is a bit special, a long, heavy piece of wood with a log stick attached to one end, and a pedal board at the other end, with a support point in the middle, someone stepping on the board in the back, and someone turning the cake in front.
This saves time and effort.
Xu Weiqiu looked at it for a while, and suddenly became interested, and stepped forward to help.
After a while, the woman who stepped on the pedal behind was already sweating profusely, and the woman panted and said, "I can't do it, change people." ”
Xu Weiqiu immediately answered: "I'll come." ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, looked at her thin arms and legs, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Can you do it?" ”
"No problem." She rolled up her sleeves and took the woman's place.
The people who were tied up on the mountain were all rich and noble women, and they were all the lords who served people on weekdays, how could they do these rough jobs.
At first, these cooks thought she was just curious, try it, and she would naturally give up if she couldn't step on it, but she didn't think about it, she looked delicate, and her strength was not small.
After about Mo Zhuxiang's time, her face still did not change, and she was still chatting with the people next to her while stepping on the board.
In order to make it easier to work, Xu Weiqiu rolled up her sleeves, and a young woman in her early thirties couldn't help but reach out and touch her arm, and asked with envy on her face:
"Girl, what do you people in the city eat, so watery."
The third sister-in-law of Kong, who served her glutinous rice, echoed: "That's it, this skin is more tender than my son." ”
Xu Weiqiu smiled and said: "I just have less sun, sickly white, like my sisters-in-law's complexion is healthy." ”
The woman said, "What a sickness, if I were so white, I would be sick." ”
As soon as these words came out, a cold snort came from behind.
"What's not beautiful to bleach, isn't it just white spots, dress better, besides, what's good about this fine skin and tender meat?"
Xu Weiqiu turned his head to look over, and saw that the person who spoke was a woman, extremely young, that is, in her early twenties, except for the dark spots on her skin and her hair, her appearance was remarkable, and her clothes were brighter than those of other cooks.
The young woman had not squeaked in the corner, because Xu Weiqiu had not noticed such a person before.
Xu Weiqiu was about to speak, but was preempted by the third sister-in-law Kong in front of him: "Yuying, you are doing it again, right?" ”
Yuying is a woman who is the second in charge, and she followed the second in charge at the age of fifteen; Last year, the second master picked up a cellar sister from the bottom of the mountain, and she was so angry that the cellar sister robbed her of her favor, and actually pushed people down the mountain, and fell to death alone.
For this reason, she was locked up by the big boss for several months, but she couldn't stand her from dying or alive in prison, so the big boss released people and sent them to the house to help.
This Yuying thinks very highly of herself, and has a poisonous tongue, and she has no popularity in this house.
At this moment, seeing this unknown woman, as soon as she came in, she mingled with everyone, and a group of people who were not used to seeing her on weekdays were full of praise for this strange woman.
She felt extremely uncomfortable......
Hmph, a group of shallow women, I don't know what to say.
"What pink eye, what do you mean, third aunt?"
Seeing that she was anxious, the young woman beside her tugged at Xu Weiqiu's cuffs and whispered: "Girl, she is like this, she doesn't have a good word, let's just ignore her." ”
Xu Weiqiu nodded, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
She had already seen that this woman named Yuying was extremely ostracized in this square inch. What does she have to do with such a person?
It's just that as soon as this Yuying is stirred, the atmosphere in the room is not so harmonious.
Until Xu Weiqiu said goodbye and left, Sister-in-law Kong looked at her departing back and couldn't help but sigh: "This girl's face is so good-looking, round and jade, and she looks rich and noble." ”
Yuying, who was not far away, heard this, and said sarcastically with a strange face: "What kind of face, if you can read the face of the third aunt, you will not marry a bandit and thief." ”
Let's ask which man in this group is not a bandit, as soon as she said this, she immediately stabbed the hornet's nest, and Cao Zhi fought back fiercely.
In the midst of the gossip of accusations, Yuying only heard one of them say: "I heard that the lady is the mother of Huaicheng, the princess of the king of Ling." ”
"Ah, royal daughter-in-law, no wonder she is so extravagant."
Sister-in-law Kong was shocked, in her opinion, which of those wives of big officials in the city is not unattainable and undesirable? This is still a princess, so approachable.
When Yuying heard that the woman was actually Princess Ling, she felt even more uncomfortable.
She has heard a lot about the deeds of this Ling King, and she heard that he is a tall and mighty general who gallops on the battlefield, and his power is overwhelming.
Thinking of the woman's appearance, what kind of pearl and jade and what kind of rich and noble appearance, in her opinion, King Ling's vision is nothing more than that......
Xu Weiqiu came out of the room, and after a while, a group of little children followed her from a distance.
The children were curious, they had never seen her, and they had never seen anyone so good-looking. The little boy in the lead even picked up pebbles on the ground and threw them at her.
Seeing this, the little girl next to him felt that this was not good, but she couldn't pull it.
Seeing this, the other children did the same, picked up the pebbles and threw them at Xu Weiqiu.
Xu Weiqiu couldn't dodge it a few times.
She said to the children with a straight face: "What are you doing, stop it." ”
Before she could finish speaking, a stone struck her forehead with precision. She couldn't help but cry out in pain.
It hurts so much, this forehead is blue.
The good-looking face immediately pulled down: "Little friend, I warn you, if you don't stop, I'll fight back." ”
The little boy in the lead was particularly naughty, and made a grimace at her and stuck out his tongue: "Who is your friend?" He also encouraged the children to continue attacking her.
Hmph, throw pebbles, this is what she Xu Weiqiu played with 800 years ago.
