Chapter 60: It is better to go back (2)
There are four main houses in this five-room courtyard of the Huai family, and the whole courtyard is in the shape of a hollow shape, with mountains and rocks and flowers in the middle. The hall for dinner and reception on the east side is directly opposite the study, and the two main rooms side by side to the south are one of Huaijing's residence, and the other is her mother's bedroom.
Known as the beauty of Xuzhou in 50 years, the surname "姒" single name is a "Hui" word, now more than 30 years old, graceful body, beautiful face, people who don't know will meet about 20, still think that they are just married.
The furnishings of her house have the flavor of Jiangnan, with books, paintings, pianos, freshly cut flower branches, and the light fragrance of tea.
If it were Ye Yunsheng here, I would probably sit down with her and talk about floral art and poetry in the recent winter.
But Yun Wujing would only climb into her bed.
The Huaijia Jianghu people say "don't see the light", it is a wealthy family in the rivers and lakes, that is, this beauty who does not know martial arts, and also belongs to the people in the rivers and lakes.
Therefore, unlike ordinary women, he will never offend the woman in the house where he stayed the night before, but it is completely different to change to Ji Hui, a woman in the rivers and lakes, for Yun Wujing, who is disgusted by people and ghosts, it can be said that he has no worries and does what he wants.
Her bed is covered with red mattresses, hung with tassels, embroidered with mandarin ducks, gold hooks pulling the gauze tent, and the pillow bag has a chrysanthemum fragrance, which should have been sewn in it with yellow flowers.
A quilt is a rare green water Sauvignon Blanc, just like the lake water of Xiaoxi Lake, which is also in the cold winter and spring, warming people's hearts.
This green water Sauvignon Blanc, which had been placed flat, was suddenly full of wrinkles.
"Don't!" Huai Jing woke up and found that it was just a dream.
She smelled the fragrance in her nose, she looked left and right, realized that it was in her bed, got up, gray socks stuck to the clogs, and soon clicked out of the door, the fragrance became more and more intense.
When she came to the cubicle, her mother's room, and she didn't know what was going on, a round table that had been placed in the hall had been moved here, and three or four empty wine jars were poured on the side of the table, and the smell of wine was strong. But what is even more fragrant is a stone pot resting in the middle of the tabletop, and a charcoal basin is placed underneath, and a small fire is burning.
You don't need to look at it to know that there is mutton cooked, pig's trotters cooked, and high-quality yuba from Xuzhou is added.
Her nose moved slightly, and she couldn't help but run to the table, threw away the wine jar piled in front of her, took a piece of mutton with chopsticks, blew it twice, put it in her mouth, and then showed a satisfied look.
Yun Wujing pursed his lips and said, "How can you grab food from the guests?" Huihui, you kid, you haven't taught you well. ”
Ji Hui covered her mouth and smiled, and said softly: "If you want to say that it doesn't make sense, who else in the world can compare with you?
Yun Wujing snorted, swept a chopstick of mutton and threw it into his mouth, and sighed: "Pig's feet, mutton, life is complete." ”
"Mother, are you old acquaintances with him?" Huai Jing was quite coquettish in front of his mother, and asked curiously, "Why did you move the table to your room?"
Yun Wujing seemed to be full of wine and food, crossed his legs, and looked lazy with nothing else to ask for, and said: "Men and women, it is easy to get to know each other, and becoming old acquaintances is just a convenient thing to step through the door. ”
Ji Hui's face turned red inexplicably, and she hit him twice with her hand before she said to Huai Jing: "It's this person who wants to move the table to my room, and he said...... He also said......"
But I can't say anything more.
Yun Wujing smiled, "Because your house is fragrant." ”
Huaijing didn't know what was going on, so he felt that his mother and Lao Yun seemed to be very familiar.
At the dinner table, occasionally a joke, a look, and a movement, as if they were old acquaintances.
The atmosphere is very harmonious, and the mother seems to be very happy!
............
Ah Yu sat beside him very obediently, although he was his grandparents and grandmother, he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he was like a stranger.
Ye Yunsheng lowered his head and looked at the rice in the bowl.
There are only four dishes on the table, a bowl of tofu, a bowl of wild vegetable root, a bowl of tamales, and a bowl of fish fillet.
The dish is simple, but the aroma is strong.
Put more pepper and Shu ginger, the taste is spicy and fragrant.
In Chang'an, Ye Yunsheng cooks at home, and the taste is also heavy, and Ah Yu is used to eating.
It's just that, like her father, she is afraid of the smell of fish, so she doesn't touch fish.
The mother-in-law seemed to like Ah Yu very much, served her vegetables, and talked to her.
Ah Yu just lowered his head to eat, a little shy and scared.
Ye Yunsheng was silent, and heard his mother-in-law say: "You child, follow your father's taste, don't eat fish...... Hey, it's hard for your mother, in Chang'an City, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat fish. I know more about her temperament, how can she take care of buying fish for herself, it will only be tight for you father and daughter!"
My father-in-law was a blacksmith, and he was not good-looking, with gray hair and beard, and a red nose, and he drank constantly.
Ye Yunsheng saw that he occasionally sandwiched two pieces of fish, and did not touch the rice and the other three dishes, and the fish fillets were already extremely beautiful.
There was also a person sitting at the table, it was a young woman, Ye Yunsheng knew that she should be sixteen this year, about the same age as Hongdou. It's just that people look a little old.
"Third sister, don't pour more wine for your father, I'm crazy after drinking too much!"
Like Ah Tan, the father-in-law didn't name his daughter, so he called it down according to the ranking. However, the sister-in-law is not the third, but the fourth.
The father-in-law has a total of four daughters, the second daughter got married, and she was originally very good in Shudu, but then her husband went to business and took the second daughter to Yanyun, and when she met a good future, she didn't come back. The married daughter spilled the water, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't read it - just like Ah Tan.
When the third daughter was four years old, she had a serious illness and was buried if she couldn't be cured, and the husband and wife gave birth to another one, or a daughter, worried that they would be worried about the little ghost, so they called the newly born fourth daughter as the third child, and they didn't have to worry about the little ghost to find it according to the score.
The third daughter stayed with her for the longest time, and at this time her mother said it, but she ignored it, and still refilled the wine glass for him after her father finished drinking.
The father-in-law just drank and ate fish fillets, and did not react to Ah Tan's death in the slightest.
The mother-in-law looked at the two of them and was even more sad.
"Women are useless, the ability to strike iron can't be passed on, and we can't make money in the future, what can we do if we two old immortals!"
"Poor eldest sister, the doll is still so young, so she left, and she thought that her father would not be able to do it in the future, and she would go to Chang'an to enjoy the blessings!"
"Ah Sheng, why did you let your eldest sister die of illness, did you invite Lang Zhong, but you spent all the money?"
He moved his chopsticks, quickly ate the rice in the bowl, then pressed his hands to his knees and continued to listen to his mother-in-law.
"Oh, my daughter, my poor child!" said the mother-in-law, and began to cry very darkly.
Ah Yu eats slowly, and he is still eating, but he is more dependent on him, and he seems to be a little afraid of his grandmother who can't control her emotions.
The third sister quietly accompanied her father to pour wine, as if there was nothing more important in heaven and earth except this one thing.
For her, the appearance of the eldest sister seems to be unclear.
