birthday
When he arrived at Xiao Qi's house, Xiao Qi's mother-in-law Qian greeted him with a smile and said enthusiastically
"Yingzi, do it quickly, my aunt will give you wontons" Qian is also in his forties this year, looking a little old, but he is chubby and in good spirits.
Mu Ying sat down next to Xiao Qi, just wanted to say no, the Qian family had already served it, and brought it up, Mu Ying ate a bowl, celery and pork filling, not to mention that it was quite delicious, although it was not as good as what she and her mother made, but it also had a unique flavor.
Xiao Qi ate a bowl and wanted to eat it again, but she stopped her, Xiao Qi was a little confused
"Boss, what are you doing, I haven't eaten yet, there is still in the pot, my mother has made a lot, enough to eat" Mu Ying couldn't help but say and pulled him away
"Let's go, go to my house to eat" Xiao Qi threw down a sentence
"Mother, the boss wants me to go to his house to eat, I'll leave first" was dragged away by Mu Ying. When I got home, Liu's made six dishes, braised pig's trotters, plum cabbage button meat, sweet and sour pork ribs, as well as green pepper potato chips, vegetable peas scrambled eggs and beans fried meat, Xiao Qi looked at it twice, sat down and started eating, Mu Ying first picked up some of the dishes on the plate, made a plate, made a look for his mother to take away, and kept it for the person to eat, Xiao Qi looked bored, and the actual temperament jumped out, I was afraid that he was not strict in his mouth, and there were many people who knew about this matter, only a hundred harms and no benefits.
didn't mention that person, and Liu didn't mention it tacitly. Mu Ying asked her mother to sit down and eat, Xiao Qi's bowl was full of vegetables, all of them were sharp, and after eating, Xiao Qi covered his stomach and said
"Don't eat it, it's so delicious, it's all over" Mu Ying ate another bowl of rice, Xiao Qi walked around the house a few times to eliminate food, and came over
"I wish you a happy birthday and a happy life forever," Mu Ying said with a smile
"Then I'll borrow your auspicious words" Xiao Qi gave her a string of red sandalwood beads and gave it to Mu Ying, which is made of red sandalwood, very finely made, smooth and rounded, strung with a red silk thread, and a red tassel at the end, which is also a silk thread, faintly able to smell a faint fragrance, Mu Ying looked very fond of it, and put it on her hand.
Xiao Qi still had no work to do in the afternoon, so he went home, and Mu Ying sent him out. After Xiao Qi left, the Liu family had already cleaned up, Mu Ying warmed up the prepared meal and sent it to the man, Pei Jingxing was sitting leaning against the head of the bed at this time, seeing Mu Ying coming, he walked over slowly with a stick, he glanced at the food on the table, and was a little surprised in his heart, today's food is very rich, although it is not as good as the Hou Mansion, but it is also very good, although the Suzhou area has been prosperous since ancient times, but such a small family, eating like this every day, is it really not afraid of eating poor.
He shook his head, didn't think about it so much, picked up the chopsticks and ate it, and after a while, he saw the bottom, this craft is really good, compared to the chef of the Hou Mansion, it is not bad, he is a little unsatisfied, and then he looked at Mu Ying but ran to the side, rummaged in the cabinet for a while, found a few travelogues and albums, and handed them to Pei Jingxing
"Childe, if you're bored, you can watch this to relieve your boredom"
"Okay" Pei Jingxing took it, and saw that it was a few mountain and river gazetteers and atlases, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile that even he didn't notice.
Mu Ying saw that he liked it and breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that this person from this background couldn't look down on these, but fortunately he didn't refuse.
Thinking of his injury again, he took out the plaster and gold sore medicine prescribed by Dr. Wang, and handed him some methods and taboos to use it, Pei Jingxing was also injured, so he naturally knew how to use it, but he still listened to her patiently.
After Mu Ying finished speaking, she picked up the dishes and chopsticks and threw down a sentence
"If it's inconvenient, just tell me, I'll give it to you" and then left, leaving Pei Jingxing
"I'm inconvenient! Seeing that Mu Ying had gone away, Pei Jingxing had no choice but to struggle and slowly finish the medicine by himself.
After Mu Ying cleaned up, she took a nap with her mother, and her family has always had the habit of taking a nap. Half an hour later, she got up and wiped her face with rice bran, this is a small way to maintain her appearance, which can make her skin fair and delicate, her mother needs her to do it every day, since she was ten years old, but it is really effective, and now the white skin of her face is not an exaggeration to describe it with coagulation.
After she finished doing it, she went to the courtyard to practice martial arts, Pei Jingxing hadn't slept yet, he put down the book in his hand, looked at Mu Ying, and saw that her moves were flexible and powerful, and said quite powerfully, he was shocked, he didn't expect her kung fu to be good, although she knew that she knew martial arts, but it exceeded her expectations, and the secret guards who were a little better than his subordinates were not much worse, of course, compared to him, there was still a certain gap, and remembered her caution, and smiled, this person has the potential to be an official.
After Mu Ying finished practicing, she sweated, lay down for a while, and went to the shop. The afternoon was still clear and sunny.
She sat on the rattan chair outside and looked up at the sky, there was no cloud at this time, she was in a very good mood, she took out the flute on her waist and blew it, the flute sound was fresh and bright, with a little poetic leisure, with the harmonious atmosphere of spring, people listened to it again and again, and never wanted to throw it away, immersed in it, as if there were no troubles.
After the song, Mu Ying hummed a small tune into the house, there were already people here at this time, and there were more and more people, Mu Ying was still a little free at first, and then she was busy almost without touching the ground, some came to buy farm tools, and some bought oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, men went out, and the women at home naturally had to make some delicious treats, and the needles and threads and the like were also sold a lot, and in the evening, when the sun set, she closed the door and went home.
Seeing her coming back, Liu Shi said busily
"A-Ying, come over for dinner, I made your favorite flower cake" The flower cake is original by my mother, mixed with glutinous rice flour, mung bean flour, and red bean flour, sandwiched with layers of pumpkin puree, and chopped pine nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, and melted brown sugar, Mu Ying has loved this bite since she was a child, she looked at the table, and sure enough, there was a large piece of made hair cake, and her mother fried a few more dishes, made lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken, braised river shrimp, squirrel fish, and a persimmon egg soup Mu Ying was happy, pulled her mother to sit down and eat, halfway through eating, She just remembered that she should have picked it out in advance and gave it to that person, and she forgot it as soon as she was happy, that person was so picky, what should she do now, Liu Shi knew what she was thinking, and smiled
"Don't worry, it's already stayed" Mu Ying was relieved
"It's still my mother's thoughtfulness" At the end of eating, Mu Ying divided the flower cake into two and ate half of it with the Liu family.
After eating, Mu Ying helped Liu clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and served the meal to the man. Pei Jingxing was looking at the book she was holding, and when he saw her coming to deliver the meal, he moved to the table with a stick, today's meal was still very rich, and there was his favorite lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken, and braised river shrimp in oil, but he frowned at this squirrel fish, he didn't like sweetness, and he hadn't eaten a few pastries since he was a child.
However, now is not the time to pick, and some are good to eat. He picked up the chopsticks and ate it, and after a while, he saw the bottom, this craft is really good, even the squirrel osmanthus fish he doesn't like is delicious, not sweet and sour, but salty with a slight sweetness.
After Pei Jingxing finished eating, he looked at the book again, Mu Ying brushed the commode in the yard, and after brushing it, he brought it in again, and then removed the dishes and chopsticks.
Mu Ying cleaned up and cleaned her hands, her mother was waiting for her in the house, Liu took out a set of light lake blue cross-collar straight jackets, the sleeves were mid-sleeved, and they were actually made of lake silk (the finished product of lake silk is exquisite, and it will not break if it is stretched arbitrarily, and the price is not cheap)
"Put it on and try it," Liu smiled. Mu Ying touched it, and was a little reluctant to go up, but she still took off the soft armor and corset inside and replaced it, I have to say that her mother's vision is excellent, this set makes her clear and elegant, elegant and elegant, although the sleeves are larger than the narrow sleeves, but it does not affect the action, but it comes with a little elegant.
The skirt is not the end, but it is as wide as a man, and it can walk freely. Liu combed her with a Chaoyun near fragrant bun again, draped her hair on the back of her head, and left two strands in her ears, Mu Ying inserted the lotus silver hairpin given by her mother when she was in the middle of the flute, Liu looked at it and was overjoyed
"My A-Ying has grown up and is more beautiful than I was back then"
"Mother, you are the most beautiful in my heart" Mu Ying had tears in her eyes, she was able to have today, all thanks to her mother's single-minded upbringing, as well as her uncle's help, I remember the most difficult years, I relied on my mother to do embroidery work and spin cloth for a living, my mother often didn't sleep until midnight, and she was very haggard.
The work in the field was handed over to her uncle, who only helped with some odd work, and most of the time she was at the behest of her mother to practice literature and martial arts, and her mother did not want her to be distracted, until she was fourteen years old, when she took over the burden of supporting the family, and her mother was more relaxed.
"Silly boy, my mother is already old, I can't compare to you" Liu smiled. Mu Ying wiped her tears
"Not old, I say not old, not old"
"My A-Ying is so good, I don't know which family is cheap in the future" Liu hugged her. Mu Ying said
"I won't marry, I want to stay with my mother forever," Liu said with a smile
"Say stupid things again, how can there be a girl who grows up and doesn't get married, my mother just wants you to be safe and happy" After a while, the mother and daughter calmed down, Mu Ying took off her skirt and still put on the white round-necked robe, Liu was a little regretful, but it was not yet time, she thought that she would wait another year for A-Ying to resume her daughter's marriage.
Mu Ying sat at the table for a while, thinking about the inconveniences of marrying, and was irritable, it was better not to marry, but her mother and uncle would never agree, but it was impossible for her to leave her mother alone, since this was the case, she thought about it, so she took her mother to marry together.
However, it doesn't seem to be necessary, she can also recruit others, Da Yi and the previous dynasty have this precedent. The face of the man she saved appeared in front of her eyes, and she hurriedly pressed this thought, what was she thinking, this man was absolutely impossible to be a son-in-law.
But recruiting is a good way, it seems that she has to work hard to make money, and she has to look for a candidate.
Mu Ying finished thinking about it, and went to sleep after washing.
