talk about wine

After Qian Ren left, Meng Chuxuan sat alone in the study for a long time, and then opened the door to go to the main courtyard. The person who had been with her for more than ten years stood outside the door motionless. Meng Chuxuan stared blankly at him and bowed his head: "Miss."

With a complicated look in her eyes, she sighed: "Come with me to see grandpa."

Yi Yun hesitated to speak, he didn't understand why she went to see that stubborn old man every day rain or shine.

When Meng Chuxuan walked into the yard, she smelled a strong smell of medicine, which seemed to be a smell that was about to decay. She frowned and walked into the room. When the maids saw her, they all saluted and said, "Miss."

Meng Chuxuan nodded, and there was a burst of violent coughing and panting in the room, which seemed to repel her coming.

Meng Chuxuan hesitated and walked in. There was a pale old man lying on the big carved bed. He was thin, with a yellowish skin, and a pair of bright eyes sunken deep into the eye sockets. It is not difficult to see that even if he is dying, he is still a Shrewd old man.

"grandfather."

"What are you doing here again?" He looked at the granddaughter in front of him that he had been ignoring all this time, his eyes were not focused, and he seemed unwilling to look more.

Meng Chuxuan didn't say much about him, but looked at him and said calmly: "If Chuxi comes back, I'm trying to get everything now, will you give it all to her?"

Meng Xianting's heart choked, and he could hardly bear it: "This is hers! Everything you worked hard to get? What methods did you use to get it? She is your sister, the sister you grew up with!"

The old man smashed the medicine bowl on the ground angrily, and the broken porcelain splashed all over the ground, but Yi Yun couldn't help but took Meng Chuxuan back a few steps to avoid getting hurt.

Meng Chuxuan slid her throat a few times, and just said in a low voice, "I see."

Yi Yun watched her leave, saluted Meng Xianting and hurriedly chased after her. Meng Xianting also looked at her with regret and pain, but when he thought of Meng Chuxi, he hated her again.

Yi Yun was very worried about Meng Chuxuan but didn't know how to comfort him, but Meng Chuxuan could see his thoughts and shook his head: "I'm fine, Yi Yun, go to Jiangyin with me."

Yi Yun's expression was slightly surprised, he hesitated and said, "Miss, you..."

Meng Chuxuan laughed self-deprecatingly: "No matter how much I envy her, she is still my sister." It is enough to make a mistake once, she does not want to be like her grandfather, who is clearly wrong but insists on going to the end, killing the three of them.

How did Meng Chuxi know that the storm was brewing from Suzhou and roaring from Qingzhou.

As in the past, she took Zhou Qingwu to the mulberry garden. Now they have no worries about food and clothing, but they need to spend more effort when they are busy, but they are still happy and content.

On this day, Zhou Qingwu was still doing inventory in the accounting room. She had to check the accounts every month to ensure that any problems could be discovered early, and more importantly, she had to ensure that the most appropriate funds were reserved each month just in case.

Zhou Qingwu studied with Feng Yu for more than half a year, and Feng Yu taught her sincerely. She has handled many things much better than those accountants.

The yard at home is smaller, but there are too many memories of them here, and they don't want to move away like the old house, so they didn't change places.It's just that the yard outside the mulberry garden has been refurbished. In addition to the spaciousness that Luo Wu's family can live in, Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu also have a study room dedicated to handling things.

After having spare money, what Meng Chuxi buys the most is books, and he will copy books by himself in his spare time.Zhou Qingwu also loves reading. These days, when they are free, the two of them often read quietly in the study.

Zhou Qingwu was concentrating on his abacus, and from time to time he picked up a pen and wrote it down in the account book. After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight movement, and a cup of tea was handed over in front of him. The cold teacup was replaced.

Zhou Qingwu looked up, with a slight smile on her lips, her thoughts were interrupted and she continued to move her hands, while the person who came in moved the teacup away and stood aside, looking at her quietly, with soft and loving eyes.

After an incense stick of time, Zhou Qingwu put down his pen and moved his stiff hands.Soon Meng Chuxi pulled her hand over, gently kneaded her to soothe her muscles and bones, and said in a complaining and distressed tone: "You haven't had a rest since I went out, have you? Your hands are stiff."

Zhou Qingwu shook his head, it was not easy for her to gesture when she pinched her hand, but she just looked at Meng Chuxi with a smile in her eyes.

When it was almost time, she withdrew her hand to indicate that she was fine, and asked her with gestures: Is the matter settled?

Why did Meng Chuxi go to the Huang family in Qingyang Town to discuss business today? Last year, the Huang family rented a lot of land and rented a lot of ramie, but they hadn't had time to spin it yet, so they wanted to borrow their workshop and help transport the linen out together.

The Huang family didn't get along with the Yan family, and it was hard for the Huang family to speak directly about this matter, so he could only ask Meng Chuxi.

"Well, it's over. The head of the Huang family is a straightforward person, even if he has a good face, it's still easy to deal with."

After she finished speaking, she frowned again and said, "Don't work so hard, wait for me to come back and help you do it together, don't get tired."

Zhou Qingwu shook his head: It's hard for you to run outside, I can't share those for you, you can feel at ease after doing this well.

This is also what Zhou Qingwu regrets the most. She can't speak, so she went to deal with people, which only added to the chaos. Meng Chuxi could only socialize around by herself.Business talks between businessmen are indispensable for entertainment, and every time she goes there, she is afraid that someone will drink Meng Chuxi.

She has a low capacity for alcohol, and she has to touch alcohol for many things. In order to cope with it, she forced herself to improve her capacity for alcohol, and she vomited several times at home.Zhou Qingwu's heart ached to death, but he couldn't help.

Knowing that she was worried, every time Meng Chuxi came back, he had to ask the accompanying people to go back first, and let himself smell of alcohol outside, for fear of making Zhou Qingwu feel uncomfortable.

It's like now, her little girl is thinking wildly again, "Don't think wildly, how many ideas you have helped me, and you have cleared up the expenses at home. I never worry about the bills. Which boss is so economical from the beginning? heart."

Zhou Qingwu knew that she felt sorry for him, and he didn't want to complain about himself all the time, so he changed the subject: Did you go out to eat?

Meng Chuxi nodded: "Hospitality is hard to come by, the owner of the Huang family is the most annoying."

Hearing this, Zhou Qingwu hurried over to sniff.

Meng Chuxi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, don't sniff it, just drink one, it's okay." Seeing that her face was still not relieved, she continued: "I only drink after eating."

Zhou Qingwu muttered and gestured: You love your relatives when you're drunk, but you can't be drunk.

Meng Chuxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she never knew that Zhou Qingwu still had such concerns, so she could only argue: "It's not right."

Zhou Qingwu was puzzled, Meng Chuxi smiled and said, "I just like to kiss you when I'm drunk. You see, I drank too much at Luo Wu's house that time. How good I am, I'm not drunk at all."

Zhou Qingwu blushed and gave her a white look. He was indeed quite obedient, and he didn't make noise or move around in front of people. After returning home, he hugged her and kissed her for half the night.Let her go to wash up and make a fuss without kissing her.She smelled of alcohol all over her body, if it wasn't for the smell, she wouldn't have refused.

"You haven't eaten lunch yet, it's so late, are you hungry?" Judging by Zhou Qingwu's posture, he must have not eaten lunch. Sister-in-law Jiang took the child to see her mother today, so no one asked her to have lunch.

Zhou Qingwu shook his head, but there was movement in his stomach, and he glanced at Meng Chuxi flatteringly.

Meng Chuxi was not polite, and flicked her forehead with his fingers.Then when Zhou Qingwu was wronged and wronged, he pulled out a handkerchief from his arms like a magic trick, and there was a small ball wrapped in it.She solemnly opened the handkerchief, which was wrapped in parchment paper, and opened it again to see three golden and crisp gold silk cakes.

Seeing her open mouth in surprise, Meng Chuxi smiled quite complacently on her face: "It just so happens that Guangpinglou also has golden silk cakes, so I ordered one. One, hide it in your bosom."

Zhou Qingwu naturally didn't believe her nonsense, how could it be so well packaged if she secretly brought it back, and she couldn't even imagine the scene.He smiled and shot her a glance, but his heart was filled with honey, stealing may not be true, but it was not false to bring her to eat specially.

Seeing her happy, Meng Chuxi also smiled brightly, pinched one and fed it to her: "It's still warm, so I'll take you to Mrs. Li's shop to drink a bowl of sweet bean curd and buy a jujube cake. OK?"

Zhou Qingwu didn't nod and just smiled, then gestured and said: It's too sweet, you gave too much sugar.

Meng Chuxi laughed softly when he heard it, but it seemed a little sweet. After thinking about it, he pursed his lips and said, "It's really too sweet, then I'll take you to eat salted bean curd."

Zhou Qingwu was taken aback: How do you eat salty ones?

Meng Chuxi suddenly thought of the famous salty-sweet dispute, and laughed out of joy: "Salty bean curd is delicious, do you want to try it?"

Zhou Qingwu was skeptical, then imagined for a while, then shook his head and refused, how could Dou Huaer be salty?How weird does that taste?

So Meng Chuxi, who was sweetly pampering his daughter-in-law for lunch, argued with Zhou Qingwu about the salty and sweet bean curd, but in the end they didn't eat salty bean curd, nor did they eat sweet ones, Meng Chuxi took her directly to a family to eat three fresh noodles .

On the way back, the two of them were strolling on the street. Meng Chuxi accidentally saw pale yellow flowers blooming on a meadow by the roadside, and a plant with gray-green leaves and fluff. It was the blooming squirrel grass.The Ching Ming Festival has passed, and the squirrel grass is in bloom. Thinking of this, Meng Chuxi's eyes light up slightly: "Qingwu, do you want to eat squirrel cake?"

Zhou Qingwu was taken aback: What is it?

Meng Chuxi laughed again: "It seems that I haven't eaten it yet. I thought there were a lot of squirrel grass here. You should have eaten it. Just in time, we will have a day off tomorrow, and I will pick squirrel grass for you Eat it as a squirrel cake, um, it is also salty and sweet, do you want the salty or the sweet?"

Seeing the teasing smile on her face, Zhou Qingwu pouted, snorted, and compared several times: sweet, sweet!

Meng Chuxi laughed, and rubbed her head: "Yes, we Qingwu like sweets, I will remember not to ask."

You need glutinous rice flour to make Shuqueerba. On the way back, Meng Chuxi bought glutinous rice and soaked it. You can grind the flour in the morning, and you also need to prepare stuffing. Since Zhou Qingwu likes sweet food, she is going to make a bean paste. But you can also try the salty one, maybe she will like it.

Early in the morning, Meng Chuxi took Wuwu to the field to pick squirrel grass, Zhou Qingwu was grinding glutinous rice flour at home, and when the glutinous rice flour was finished, Meng Chuxi also came back with a basket.

Zhou Qingwu never knew that this could be eaten, so he was a little curious about how to deal with it.Meng Chuxi took Zhou Qingwu to clean it, washed it, picked up the rolling pin and began to mash the squirrel grass, and the green juice flowed out, which was what Meng Chuxi wanted.

After filtering the residue, knead the noodles with the green juice and add an appropriate amount of plant ash clarification liquid, so that the green color can be maintained well.At the same time, some flour should be added to the glutinous rice flour, otherwise it will turn into a puddle after steaming.

Meng Chuxi made the red bean paste last night. The sauced red bean paste was sweet and soft. Zhou Qingwu liked the taste very much after eating it.

For the salty stuffing, Meng Chuxi made some fresh meat, which will be wrapped in later.Two people can't eat much, so I don't make too many, a total of ten, six sweet and four salty, when it's steamed, send a few to Luo Wu and the others to taste.

The turquoise squirrel grass cake is soft and beautiful after being stuffed, and it is even more delicate after steaming, and the color is more beautiful. When you poke it with your hand, it will be soft and hot.

Carefully pick one out with chopsticks, and you can feel the stickiness even when you let go of the chopsticks. Meng Chuxi handed the bowl to Zhou Qingwu: "I've been busy all morning and I can eat it. It tastes like sweet bean paste. Try it. Be careful." It's hot."

She instructed, Zhou Qingwu blew on it, and carefully took a small bite. It was soft and chewy, and the mouthful was filled with the fragrance of squirrel grass, and the taste was very good.She took another bite, and this time she bit into the bean paste stuffing, which made her gasp. When it finally cooled down, she wrapped the bean paste filling and ate it together. It was soft and fragrant with the sweetness of bean paste. .For Zhou Qingwu, who likes sweets, this is really a delicacy that he has never tasted before.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Meng Chuxi bent her lips, and it was worth their hard work all morning.She took a savory one and took a bite. It tasted pretty good, with a fresh and sweet taste in it, and it was delicious.She saw Zhou Qingwu staring at the dumpling in her hand, picked it up and handed it to her: "Taste the salty one and see if it tastes good."

The two have long been used to eating each other's food, and they didn't care that she had eaten it. They took a bite and tasted it carefully. It was not as strange as imagined, and it was delicious.

"Is it acceptable?" Meng Chuxi asked her with a smile.

Zhou Qingwu nodded: delicious.

Seeing that the little girl picked up another bean paste stuffing, Meng Chuxi knew that she still prefers sweet ones, so she lowered her head and smiled but was full of doting.He just raised his eyebrows and said: "After eating this, you are not allowed to eat it. The glutinous rice is not easy to digest, you know?"

Zhou Qingwu put the last bite into his mouth, he reluctantly glanced at the steaming dumpling in the pot, bit his chopsticks and nodded with difficulty.

Meng Chuxi, who had packed the squirrel cake, couldn't help laughing, and pinched the tip of her nose: "Little greedy cat, then eat half more, don't be so greedy anymore, I like to eat it tomorrow." After she finished speaking, she took one and shared it. He handed half of it to Zhou Qingwu, and slowly ate the rest by himself.

Zhou Qingwu ate with his head down, but secretly looked at Meng Chuxi with his eyes, his face flushed slightly.How can I stay with her, but always act like a child?She frowned, then laughed again, Meng Chuxi was used to it, so don't blame her.
