Ding Juan, the literati of the West Building, the warm spring breeze of the lights of ten thousand homes【I】
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, early in the morning there is a small house to deliver the post, although Shen Liushu has the habit of getting up early to practice, but today turned over and lay in bed. There was no one in the house, and Aunt Gu, who bought overnight eggs early, received the post for him.
"Childe, this is a banquet post sent by the palace and the West Building. Since she came back from the countryside, Aunt Gu has really changed as a person, and she is also obedient to this Shen Liushu, and she has never said a word again, so that she will never go west to the east. Shen Liushu is not a harsh person, and still treats her as usual, but in the bottom of her heart, she always feels weird, and it seems that something is missing.
"The post of the palace?" Shen Liushu was a little puzzled, it was understandable that Yin Honghong asked someone to send a post, if he didn't come, it would make people suspicious, but what kind of heart did this Zhu Qi press, if he said that he wanted his own life, so many opportunities, he didn't grasp it, and even disdained it.
If this person is really as proud and jealous as he seems, then what does this post mean?
"Find a reason, push it. ”
Shen Liushu stretched his arms, bent down again, yawned, and got up with a thick breath.
"No. ”
noon
Knock knock.
Knock knock.
"Who?"
Shen Liushu asked, but no one answered, he opened the door and was greeted by a strong smell of fat powder. Heavy makeup is smeared, and a big face with freckles is full of courtesy.
"Aunt Li, who are you?" Shen Liushu's heart tightened, and a pair of eyes glanced behind her from time to time, for fear that something would come again.
"Young Master Shen, isn't this Chinese New Year's Eve, the eldest lady is thinking about coming over to deliver a chicken. As she spoke, she picked up a chicken.
Hearing Aunt Li say this, Shen Liushu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Li thought that he was not satisfied, so she was busy boasting, "Don't underestimate this chicken, this is not an ordinary chicken, this is a local chicken, it is not captive, it is put on the mountain to be raised, oh yo, just this chicken, used to make soup, the taste is quite good." ”
"Then Shen will thank you, auntie. Shen Liushu took the chicken, the chicken fluttered blindly, he didn't catch any of it, and made a chicken feather and flew into the sky.
Aunt Li's eyes were quick, and with one step, she grabbed the chicken wings and said with a smile, "It's okay, this chicken is like this." ”
Shen Liushu looked at the chicken, still a little worried, and let go, "Auntie, please." ”
The dignified seven-foot man was actually frightened by a chicken, and Aunt Li didn't expose it, and handed the chicken into the hands of Aunt Gu.
"Okay, the eldest lady won't sit here, I have to find a partner for you, the daughter of the old Wang family is good, you have time to meet." Aunt Li is still like this for Shen Liushu's marriage as always, which makes him very helpless.
"Lady walks slowly. Shen Liushu gave his hand.
As the old saying goes, Jiangzhou in the evening is still not very friendly to people, especially fishermen, who can still get out of a boat as usual, and if you are lucky, you can also touch some small fish and shrimp, which is also a big fish and big meat for them, and a gluttonous feast. Now he can only tie the boat to the dock of the tethered boat, and pin all his net worth and life on this small hemp rope.
About a moment later, a small servant came in a carriage.
"Shen Gongzi, our young lady is invited. "It's a handmaid with a raw face, with average appearance and decent facial features, but this voice is really a little rough.
Shen Liushu didn't react for a moment, "Your young lady?"
"Our young lady is the shopkeeper of the West Building. The maidservant said.
Shen Liushu nodded, and when he got into the carriage, there was a small servant squatting down, signaling him to step on his back and get into the carriage. Shen Liushu is not used to it, a little on his tiptoes, and easily got into the carriage, although Jiuli has been calm these days, his strength has really improved, at least he has touched the threshold.
When he got out of the car, the little guy crawled over and squatted down, making Shen Liushu cry and laugh
"You don't have to. With that, he got out of the carriage himself.
"If you neglect it, the shopkeeper will blame it. The little guy whispered.
Shen Liushu smiled, and turned around to Qionglou Yuyu.
"Shen Si. "It's still the shadow of the dead who doesn't pay for her life, always half-exposed on her shoulders, since Shen Liushu met Yin Honghong, she seems to love to wear cooler all year round,
She may really not be afraid of the cold.
Shen Liushu suppressed the urge to ask the last sentence and followed her to the North Chamber.
Compared with the north compartment and the southwest compartment, it is much more spacious, all the tassels are covered, and the mural is like flowing water, and the most noteworthy is the ink table.
The black is transparent, and the bright is relaxed.
Because the west building is the top of Jiangzhou, so the ink platform is also called the ladder of heaven, one step at a time straight to the top of the west building, experience the style of the floating clouds covering the eyes, every fifteenth, the literati will inevitably come to the top of the west building to climb the moon and chant poetry. And this ink platform has also become the way to go.
Scholars also love to come to this ink platform to take the imperial examination, and ask for a good fortune.
"Shen Si, please be seated. ”
Yin Honghong said.
"Thank you. ”
After a while, Shen Liushu was really a little restless, not because there were nails in this ass, but because someone's gaze was more uncomfortable than the hook.
Yin Honghong leaned sideways, holding her chin with one hand, and stared at Shen Liushu like this.
Until the familiar words broke the solidified embarrassment.
"It's insulting, it's insulting. ”
Day and night, he always puts the word Sven on his lips except Han Xuexue.
Shen Liushu stood up and said, "Han Xuexue." ”
Han Xueji skipped him straight past him and walked in front of Yin Honghong to complain, "It's really too deceitful, it's insulting!"
Listening to Han Xueyu blowing his beard and glaring in front of him, he said a lot, and when he gasped, Yin Honghong could be regarded as interjecting, "Pedant, please take a seat, there is your favorite Songhua egg today, and the little woman specially asked someone to bring it." ”
As soon as he heard that there were Songhua eggs, Han Xuexue's anger disappeared a little, but for the sake of face, he still had a hard mouth, "You have some conscience." ”
Yin Honghong smiled and turned to Shen Liushu, "The concubine also asked someone to bring Fu Liji roast chicken to Shen Gongzi." ”
For Yin Honghong's omniscient ability, Shen Liushu has long been surprised, "That's really thanks to Shopkeeper Yin." ”
"Thank you, I can't talk about it, after all, you are from the West Building. ”
The maidservant girl from before stepped forward, leaned down and said, "Miss, the dish is ready." ”
"Bring it up. Yin Honghong said.
The stray maid came up with the dishes, and in about half an hour of tea, the plate was finally finished.
One hundred and eighty dishes on the table, all the colors and fragrances are complete, how luxurious, not to mention the purse loin, the Buddha jumping over the wall alone is rich and vigorous, the material is elegant and soft and glutinous, and the Wanfu meat also makes people greedy, the four major grasps, the four major sauces, and the four major crisps are also lovely, and there are eight ways of "encircling, matching, inlaying, and stuffing", tsk. It's a feast for the eyes and a feast for the palate.
If Mr. is here, he will also sigh: gluttonous feast, gluttonous feast!
"This?" Shen Liushu was really the first time to see such a big battle, and it was really a bit extravagant and wasteful, "Shopkeeper Yin, why don't you invite others?"
Yin Honghong shook her head.
"Shopkeeper Yin, there are so many dishes, isn't it a little too ...... for three people to eat?"
He didn't say anything about waste, after all, people kindly invited him to dinner, and it was really unreasonable to say that he didn't know what to do.
Han Xuejiu is not afraid of many, no matter what three people or a few people, he has long been hungry like a tiger, and went straight to the wine and meat, his face was full of oil, he couldn't use his hands and feet at the same time, and said vaguely while eating, "Not bad, it tastes great." ”
Shen Liushu didn't move his chopsticks, Yin Honghong made a look, and the maidservant beside him brought Fu Liji's roast chicken and put it in front of him, "Shen Gongzi, please." ”
"Thank you. ”
Looking at the roast chicken, the past is vivid, and before I know it, three years have passed. I haven't seen my father-in-law for a long time, and Grandma Li, as well as Liu'er, and even the old god who can't talk at the limit.
"Shen Si, eat. Yin Honghong saw Shen Liushu staring at the roast chicken in a daze, "Are you not satisfied? ”
"No, no, Shen was flattered and remembered some of the past. Shen Liushu ate it very slowly this time, the roast chicken should have been heated later, and the taste was obviously not so good, but he still felt that this was the best roast chicken.
Yin Honghong got up and brought the birdcage and released the parrot, which fluttered its wings and flew onto the table.
The funny voice came again, "Hello, hello. ”
"It's kind of funny that this stupid bird can really speak. Han Xuexue finally raised his head, but after a glance, he buried his head again in hard work.
The parrot seemed to be able to understand human speech, flapped its wings, grabbed a spoon with its claws, threw it into the soup in front of Han Xuexue, splashed him, and then flew back to Yin Honghong's shoulder, shaking his head from side to side, "Fool, fool." ”
"You!" the pedant was not lightly angry.
Yin Honghong had already figured out his temperament, and took the lead, "It's just a bird, and besides, can a learned scholar like Han Xuezhu still have a relationship with a brute?"
Han Xuezhi was at a loss, not to mention that Yin Honghong had said so, so he had to sit down and say stupidly, "It's insulting to Sven, it's really insulting to Sven." ”
A few handmaidens covered their mouths and secretly had fun on the side, and when Han Xuexue saw it, he felt even more embarrassed, so he simply didn't do anything, shook the meat in his hands, and played a trick.
"Readers naturally don't bother with a beast, but this bird is raised by the Yin shopkeeper, if it just frightens the reader, then it is naturally easy to say, after all, this friendship is there, but it hurts the reader, so since it is the bird of the Yin shopkeeper, then it will be with the Yin shopkeeper. ”
Yin Honghong's face was flat, teasing the bird, and did not look at Han Xuexuan, "How do you want to care, you always change your way to come to the little woman's West Building to cheat and cheat, if you want to care, then today's words are all here, just take care of it, Qi'er, go and get the account books, I want to calculate the accounts of these years." ”
Seeing Yin Honghong's posture, Han Xuexue knew that he couldn't go overboard, so he immediately softened, "Look, what do you think this is for." The reader is just making a small joke to liven up the atmosphere, not so much, not so much. ”
Although he was flattering, he kept telling himself in his heart: Scholars are not bent over for five buckets of rice, this is called a gentleman standing up to the sky and the earth, and not caring about a little woman.
Everyone in the world says that although the little woman has a small heart, she should be generous today and settle this account with you. ”
Looking at Yin Honghong's unrelenting posture and a posture of not giving up, although Shen Liushu knew that it might be useless, he still said, "Yin Shopkeeper is not counted, today is a reunion, and it should be a happy day for the family, we can get together, and it is also fate." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the so-called fate to meet thousands of miles away. Han Xuexue immediately responded.
"Miss, account books. ”
Yin Honghong took the account book, and then said, "Eat." ”
Han Xuezhu glanced at it suspiciously, lowered his head, not at ease, raised his head again and glanced at it, met someone's fox eyes, his old face turned red, and he continued to bury his head in hard work.
