Chapter 45 Flax Soup

Wearing a cloak, Qian went to help Fan with a smile on her face: "...It's so cold! What else is more important than your body? Grandma insists on posting to you, but I'm not making trouble!"

She spoke quickly and in a low voice, with a smile on her face, and those who were a little further away thought she was saying good news to welcome guests.Fan Shi had learned about her ability to speak ill of others in an open and aboveboard manner, so she couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Hold Dalang so that he won't get covered in snow," she turned her head and told Bisi, and then said to Qianshi, "I'm still two months away. Let's spend New Year's Eve at each house. How can we not come to the winter solstice?" Oh... I appreciate your kindness, and you should pay more attention to it, if someone hears it and spread it out, why bother..."

Last night, the entire Jiangcheng was covered by a heavy snow without a sound, and the roads could not be cleaned for a while.Zhao Chen went to the palace to participate in the winter festival early in the morning, and told them not to go if they couldn't do it.Mrs. Fan was also persuaded by Bisi and others in turn. She wanted Zhao Yuan to stay at home, but she had to go, otherwise how would Mrs. Yu get rid of her idea?Besides, Zhao Yuan had to take it with him after thinking about it. Last time, he didn't bring it this time. I'm afraid there will be some explanations outside.

For Zhao Yuan, he actually had a good time in Fan's family last time, and the younger ones in Fan's family were also quite interesting.However, since the Fan family fell out with his father after returning from the Fan family, although he didn't know the reason, it must have something to do with the Fan family, so he hesitated.What's more, Yuan Jue and Zhencheng had nowhere to go this time, so he also wanted to stay with them.

Finally, when Fan asked him, he thought about it and followed him.After all, if he didn't go, Fan's family will definitely be criticized.

Mrs. Qian took Fan and Zhao Yuan into the vestibule, and boarded a small car with a light cover. It would take a quarter of an hour in this winter. Not to mention that Mrs. Fan was pregnant, even Mrs. Qian couldn't bear it by herself.

"It's a family feast in the morning, and grandma has just gotten up now, so let's go to the warm pavilion first, and you and Dalang can drink some hot soup to warm up." Qian Shi smiled at Zhao Yuan again, "you juniors Today is very happy, I can go outside to play in the snow without going to school, your first cousin and second cousin have long been looking forward to your coming, even your first cousin and second cousin miss you!"

Fan's expression changed, and he said casually: "Tangniang and Danniang's birthdays have passed, the older one is nine years old, and the younger one is eight years old, are you talking about kissing?"

Qian Shi has always been a big-hearted person, and he can tell a thing or two just from the fact that Fan Dan raised her without any flinching spirit.She shook her head, feeling a little worried: "Tangniang is the junior second roommate, and she has her second siblings to worry about, but she is just Danniang in my room, but I don't know what kind of family she will find in the future... Grandma has a big heart, like the third roomer Ru Mother looks for a family that has declined like that, and it is still a descendant of the clan. Even if the son is afraid, grandma will not like it. That is the condition, and there is no such thing in Jiangcheng, unless you look for it in Xucheng, Yaojiang in the south... If you look for it locally A concubine who is in the same family as Fan's family is actually a good marriage, and I'm afraid Danniang will think wrong."

As she spoke, she showed a bit of dissatisfaction with Mrs. Yu: "Fortunately, my Dalang Erlang is a man, and it's not her turn to take care of her. I only see that Danniang has only been with her for a few years, so I will develop a good relationship with you." What a greedy appetite! For this person, the most important thing is to be responsible. Even though the couple is of two surnames, that person must be a promising person... The short-sightedness shows that I have worked hard on her before. It's all in vain!"

Fan Shi looked at it for a long time without showing any traces before confirming that Qian Shi was completely ignorant of Fan Dan's affairs.She was slightly relieved, and now she had the time to listen to Mrs. Gan's ramblings. It was obvious that this dissatisfaction with her mother-in-law had been suppressed for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have started to complain about her in the car.

Qian's mouth was dry, and finally he took Fan's hand and asked, "...Tell me, is this the truth?"

Even though most of the Fans were overheard, she still got a general idea, so she nodded and persuaded: "Auntie is always the elder, but it is customary for the mother to make decisions about the marriage of children. If the candidate is too inappropriate, don't you If you just go to Eldest Brother directly, Auntie will always listen to what he says."

Just as Qian was about to say something, the car had already arrived.She winked at Fan, and got out of the car first. Bisi carefully helped Fan out of the car, and then hugged Zhao Yuan, who was made drowsy by the women's gossip.

A group of people entered the second courtyard. One of the left and right side rooms was a study and the other was converted into a warm pavilion. They naturally went to the warm pavilion along the veranda.In the warm pavilion, not only were the four walls painted with prickly ash and mud, but also the tapestries of snowy and cold plums were hung, the floor was covered with thick lichen, the long couch for sleeping was changed into a kang bed, and three-legged kangs were placed in the four corners. The smoker of the beast.The room was warm and fragrant, almost full of spring.

This is not the first time Zhao Yuan has seen a fire pit, and he never thought that this thing would appear so early.It's a pity that his father is a bone burner, and he can't sleep on the kang at all. Anyway, he sleeps with his father, and he doesn't feel too cold at all.

Mrs. Gan invited them to sit on the kang, and ordered the maidservant in the warm pavilion to bring sugar water and hot soup.The rest of the maids rushed forward, taking off their cloaks, changing their warm shoes, including those holding their small smokers to smoke their hair, and they waited on them all the way.

When the food deliverer came, Qian personally brought a bowl of sugar water eggs to Fan, and ordered someone to scoop Zhao Yuan a bowl of hot soup with deer blood, frozen tofu, fragrant leaves and bean sprouts.The deer blood was clotted and cut into small neat cubes. The frozen tofu soaked up the delicious soup, and the bean sprouts were also crispy and delicious. What's more, the soup was sprinkled with pepper, which is perfect for drinking in winter!

"This is the way of eating in the south. It's called flax soup." Seeing that he was eating well, Qian said with a smile, "I knew that Xiao Yuanlang would love it, but Dalang Erlang would yell if he didn't drink a bowl every day." She said She curled her lips and muttered, "This is the good thing for grandma." The Yu family was married in the south, and the ancestors above him were also from the south. Over the years, they have naturally brought in different habits from those in the north. Had quite a few rare banquets.

While they were eating, they chatted, mainly Gan's speaking and Fan's listening.

"My grandfather came back a few days ago and called the heads of our big house. They stayed in the study for two hours." Qian wiped his mouth, "I heard that the northwest side was not peaceful before the winter solstice. The dogs and white wolves probably didn't have anything to eat and drink, and they attacked the city a few times..."

The Fan family hadn't heard about the current affairs for a long time, and heard the rumors and wondered: "It's the dog army? I heard that every year after autumn, it must come. Not only our Zhao country, but also the neighboring Chu country suffers from it. Who told us that it happened to be Relying on the northwest, there are some barbarians, none of them settle down, they only live by burning, killing, looting and cruelty."

When she was pregnant and her heart was softening, she couldn't help sighing, "The people closest to the northwest have suffered."

Qian didn't take it seriously: "Hey, let me tell you, why don't you move your family? That place is a mess every year, where is the place to live?"

Fan didn't refute, but couldn't help laughing lightly in his heart.

To put it lightly, it is said that the homeland is difficult to move. How can it be so easy to leave a place where generations have lived?What's more, not to mention Jiangcheng, the capital, and Xucheng, Yaojiang in the south, can the smaller counties and counties be easily entered?Not to mention the issue of household registration, even if you want to rent a house in other places, the cost is no less than buying a house... So whoever has an ancestral home, who is willing to take the risk of not having a fixed place to move?

But she didn't want to say too much, there are a lot of noble ladies like the Qian family in Zhao Guo, all they worry about is their husband's future, son's education, daughter's marriage, and the rest of the people's livelihood, what has it to do with them?No matter Mrs. Qian, even she herself, if she hadn't gained some experience in the palace earlier, she would be much better than Mrs. Qian now.

Fan said: "The general has never told me about this."

Qian glanced at her and teased: "I don't know that I feel sorry for you? You have a big belly, so I will tell you this, but it just makes you sigh a little more."

Zhao Yuan kept his eyes on his nose, his nose, and his heart, and Quan pretended not to hear the conversation between them.But the previous topic aroused his interest, Quan Rong?I vaguely remember that there seems to be a history in his world, but it doesn't seem to be called this name...

"My lady invites you." A maidservant next to the Yu family came in to inform them.

Fan's family got impatient for a long time, so she got off the kang and prepared to go to the third courtyard, Yu's living place.As the eldest daughter-in-law, Qian had to prepare a banquet, and the two broke up outside.Fan Shi thought as she walked, she will talk to Yu Shi later, although it is inconvenient for Da Lang to listen in, but he can't stay too far away from her, it's best to go back to the Nuan Pavilion.She also thought, now that Fan Dan is eight years old, it is impossible to go to the Nuan Pavilion to find Da Lang without other people.

"Dalang, if I have something to talk to your uncle and grandma later, you just say you want to come to the Nuan Pavilion, and I will let Yingge follow you when the time comes, you know?" She asked Zhao Yuan worriedly.

Zhao Yuan looked at her and nodded: "I understand."

Yu's main room is no different from last time, except that there are tapestries and thick lichens, that is to say, a few smokers have been added.She was still dressed brightly, sitting cross-legged on the arhat couch, holding a delicate gilt-bronze woman in her arms.

She insisted on not asking Fan to salute, but Zhao Yuan kept the salute and gave him a set of big and small pendants, which were quite expensive.Fan accepted it for Zhao Yuan, but his heart sank.If you are willing to write down the book, you can see that you have a lot to ask for.

The two still exchanged pleasantries. Seeing that the aunt wanted to introduce the topic, Mrs. Fan wanted to ask Zhao Yuan to go to the Nuan Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yu was one step ahead of her, and said to the maid who had sent the message: "Let's talk to each other. Xiao Yuanlang is not nice, you take him to Rongxue Pavilion, Dalang Erlang is there, tell them Xiaolangjun to warm up the fire and enjoy the snow."

Fan Shiben was anxious, when he heard that it was Rongxue Pavilion, he felt relieved, and then he heard that he was with Dalang Erlang, he was completely relieved.

Rongxue Pavilion is next to the flower hall where the banquet was held today, so it couldn't be safer for people to come and go.Mrs. Qian is still preparing the banquet there, no matter what, Mrs. Yu can't lie about Dalang Erlang, not to mention that she didn't reveal her intention to refuse, so it's unlikely that Mrs. Yu will take the lead and play tricks.

And Zhao Yuan is indeed too young, who has the intention to plot against him?

After Yu Shi opened his mouth, Fan Shi couldn't say anything more, so he winked at Zhao Yuan.Zhao Yuan couldn't stay anymore when he heard Dalang Erlang, and Fan agreed, which meant that there should be no problem in going to play.

Whether he did mental calculations or not, he had no defense at all.

Zhao Yuan's voice disappeared in the distance, Yu Shi looked away and looked at Fan Shi, the first sentence was: "Do you think Danniang and your family's Dalang are a good match?"
