Chapter 9 White Porridge

The courtyard where Lin Xiuran lives is called Yiranju.

Standing under the door of the moon cave with sparse vines and looking inward, the morning mist in the courtyard is misty, plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum, and the four gentlemen in the flowers are there. In late autumn, the autumn chrysanthemum looms in the mist, the green bamboo is stained with dew drops and falls into the soil, the plum blossoms are not blooming, the bluegrass is declining, and there is a peach blossom forest not far away waiting for the next year's flowers to bloom.

A rockery stands in the middle of the courtyard, a small river surrounds the mountain, wears flowers and willows, caresses stones through the pavilion, and occasionally sandwiches the fallen leaves of late autumn, from west to east, sparkling away.

Passing through the flower-wearing path paved with fine cobblestones, the world is empty, and a small building appears in front of you, with blue bricks and red tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. One and a half high apricot walls surround it, although the small building is only two floors, but the sparrows are small, the five organs are complete, the study kitchen, the master bedroom and the guest bedroom, everything is there, this is Lin Xiuran's "Yiran Residence".

In the past few years, Lin Xiuran has rarely left this courtyard, and few people have come to visit this courtyard.

Lin Xiuran left the courtyard only a handful of times, and the number of people he came into contact with every day was also only a handful.

Such an isolated residence naturally comes from Lin Weiyuan and Mrs. Lin's concealment of Lin Xiuran's "fool" a few years ago, even if the lie became a joke later, Mrs. Lin also forbade anyone in the house to approach this courtyard for no reason for the purpose of protecting Lin Xiuran.

Lin Xiuran naturally would not object, he was happy to be quiet.

So, he lived a leisurely life in the courtyard of this deceitful deep mansion all day long, light and isolated.

It's very pleasant, of course.

And today, Lin Xiuran, who has finally finished marrying his daughter-in-law, will return from the occasional unquiet life to the "lonely days" when the courtyard is deserted every day.

In the future, there may not be much to change.

The only thing that has changed is probably just this little Yiran Curie, in addition to Hua Jieyu, in addition to him Lin Xiuran, there will be one more hostess Luo Xin'er and a maid Taogen.

The world of two people, just like that, became a family of four.

......

Because they got up early to give tea to Lin Weiyuan, Mrs. Lin and other elders, Lin Xiuran and Luo Xin'er didn't have breakfast yet. At this time, the two returned to Yiranju, and their stomachs were empty.

But fortunately, they have a very reliable maid peach root.

Not long after the two of them entered Yiran's house, she came in with a food box, Lin Xiuran saw this, and knew that the person who "gave food" was coming, so she hurriedly moved a stool and sat down at the table, and Luo Xin'er also sat down quietly.

Momogen took the food out of the food box one by one and placed it on the table.

The thing is just a pot of warm porridge and a few light side dishes, but in the late autumn morning, the dew is heavy, and this is the best to eat.

Lin Xiuran couldn't help but move her index fingers, and Luo Xin'er's mood was already better, so she happily raised her chopsticks and ate it.

Momogen served on the side, adding porridge to the two from time to time.

Lin Xiuran didn't eat much or small, and after eating the second bowl, he was full, and he put down his chopsticks very satisfied. Luo Xin'er was also the second bowl at this time, eating slowly, and before she saw the bottom, she just buried her head and ate in small bites.

The fingers are as white as the green onion roots, the mouth is red without drawing Zhu Dan, a small face is white and tender, a pair of eyes are watery, and the appearance of eating porridge is pleasing to the eye.

Lin Xiuran felt that watching the beauty eat porridge was quite a pleasure, so he put his hand on the table very unscrupulously, held his cheeks, and looked at it intently.

The porridge in Luo Xin'er's bowl finally bottomed out.

She looked up and saw Lin Xiuran looking at her, and also glanced at Lin Xiuran, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks with some embarrassment.

Lin Xiuran quipped: "Your amount of food is quite good, Hua Jieyu, that little girl, can only eat one bowl, sometimes less than one bowl!"

A skinny little girl like Luo Xin'er is probably lost from dieting and losing weight. It's good to have such a meal and such a figure.

"Well, I'll eat more. Luo Xin'er said with some embarrassment.

The maid Taogen on the side saw Lin Xiuran, a nerd, staring at her own lady so squintingly, although she knew that he was the master, she was still a little indignant, and said angrily: "You idiot, quickly look away, otherwise I will dig out your two-colored eyes for my young lady." ”

Maybe she didn't think the scolding was enough, she added, "Hmph, you idiot, the toad wants to eat swans." ”

Taogen said angrily to Lin Xiuran, and consciously breathed a bad sigh for her own young lady, but when she turned to look at her young lady, she saw that Luo Xin'er's face had completely darkened.

She thought that the young lady was angry with Lin Xiuran's appearance as a disciple, so she said "I don't know whether to live or die": "Miss, don't be angry, it's not worth being angry for this idiot." ”

"Smack-"

Luo Xin'er was a little trembling with peach root, and slapped the little girl hard.

"Get on your knees. ”

This is the master's rebuke to his subordinates.

Taogen has followed Luo Xin'er for so many years, and Luo Xin'er has never said anything serious to her, let alone reached out to hit her.

This sudden change directly frightened Momogen to cry, kneeling on the ground and not daring to get up.

Luo Xin'er really played her young lady's temper and began to discipline Taogen, a subordinate who has no master.

She listened to the sentence on the left, "a lowly slave who doesn't know his identity", and the sentence on the right, "It's good to find you an old widower to marry", and she was stunned for a moment, not understanding what had just happened.

The difference between master and servant is naturally necessary.

But except for the foolish uncle, there are no outsiders here?

Besides, she is angry for Miss!

"Miss...... You, what's wrong with you, you were fine just now, what's ...... Miss, don't marry me off, I want to follow Miss for the rest of my life. Momogen burst into tears, "I...... I don't dare anymore!"

"What's the use of you saying this to me, it's not me who provoked you!"

Momogen listened to her young lady's words and understood.

When the young lady marries this idiot, she is the idiot's wife, and if she scolds the idiot, the young lady will punish herself.

Miss, this is really going to be the daughter-in-law of the Lin family.

Then all the words she just said hit the muzzle of the gun.

Momogen's face was pale, miserable and bloodless, she was really frightened this time.

She knelt in front of Lin Xiuran and cried: "Young master, I don't dare anymore, Taogen is not a person who loves to bully, Taogen thinks that Miss has been wronged...... Master, you are doing well, forgive me, please forgive me, please, don't let Miss marry me off. ”

Lin Xiuran looked at Taogen's crying appearance, and didn't pay much attention to it.

No matter how stingy he is, he won't be angry with a little girl, seeing her kneeling on the ground trembling, and being slapped on her face by Luo Xin'er, she feels that this lesson is enough for this girl to remember for a lifetime, so she no longer embarrass her.

He pretended to be stupid and said, "It's okay to forgive you, you can go to the kitchen and get some pastries after dinner, so that I don't get hungry in a while." ”

"Uh-huh, I'll go, I'll go. ”

The little girl knelt on the ground and nodded desperately. She wished she had a chance to make up for her mistakes.

But she still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, because her own young lady had not yet told her to get up.

She looked at her "gentle" young lady with some fear, hoping that she could get her forgiveness.

Luo Xin'er glanced at the simple Lin Xiuran, and sighed in her heart, her nerd husband is too kind after all, if he is an ordinary person, if he dares to speak to his master like this, it is light to be killed, and it is not enough to slap him in the face.

As a wife, I have to teach myself more as a husband in the future, don't let him be wronged.

This man is always going to be with his husband for the rest of his life, isn't he?

Unconsciously, she was already thinking from the position of Lin Xiuran's wife.

"Get up, don't do it again in the future!" Luo Xin'er said.

"Momogen doesn't dare anymore, miss. ”

With Luo Xin'er's consent, Taogen "this little evil girl" dared to get up, wiped her tears, and went out of Yiranju to get Lin Xiuran pastries after dinner.
