Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Girls go down and spread the word.

Mrs. Wang smiled at Li Wan again: "If the master doesn't come back, you might as well eat here."

Li Wan smiled and agreed.

Fuling then went out and told Xia Zhu, "Go and tell the people in the kitchen that my grandma is also eating at my wife's place today, so I asked them to bring an extra order." Xia Zhu agreed to go out, and the women over there hurriedly spread the word.

Li Wan helped Mrs. Wang to the west room. Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou led the maids and women to stand on the back and spread the mattress.

Mrs. Wang sat down on the kang and said to Li Wan, "Let them serve you. Sit down there so you can talk."

Li Wan responded, and sat down on a small chair.

Mrs. Wang said: "I've been so busy these past few days, I forgot to ask you, how is Lan'er these two days? Are you still making trouble?"

Hearing this, Li Wan said with a smile: "Don't make trouble, the previous tooth has grown out, now the mouth is very good, I want to take a bite of everything I see."

Mrs. Wang felt relieved and said with a smile: "It's like this in children's homes. When teething, the root of the tooth is easy to itch. It will be fine when the teeth are fully grown. Let the nanny and the girl pay more attention, and don't bite him casually. "

Li Wan agreed, and said: "Madam, don't worry, I have people cook all the stubborn things for Lan'er in boiling water every day, and the food is all freshly made."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "You have always been careful."

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the mother-in-law suddenly came from outside: "The meal is here."

The two stopped talking, and saw a few women coming in with big boxes of one color silk and gold and five colors in their hands.

The daughters-in-law lifted the dining table, and Li Wan took the bowls and chopsticks from the girl's hand and put them on the table. He also personally arranged the dishes, soup and rice in the food box. They were all exquisite side dishes. There were twelve dishes in total. Eight dishes, one soup and one meal were combined Two snacks.

A plate of ham stewed meat, a plate of eight-treasure tofu, a plate of chicken marrow bamboo shoots, a plate of eggplant fish, a plate of rouge goose breast, a plate of steamed shad, a plate of oil and salt fried wolfberry buds, a plate of multicolored eel, A bowl of sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, and a large bowl of hot green rice with fragrant green rice.

The two dishes of dim sum are mincemeat and goose oil rolls with loose fillings.

Already, four little maidservants brought washbasins, towels and other things.At this time, Mrs. Wang was sitting on the kang, and the maid holding the basin came to her knees and knelt down, holding the washbasin high;

Jin Chuan'er went forward to join hands with Mrs. Wang, took off the bracelet and ring, and then stretched out her hand to test the temperature of the water in the basin, and Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand to wash in the basin.

After Mrs. Wang washed her hands, Aunt Zhou hurriedly handed her a towel to wipe her hands, before Mrs. Wang sat cross-legged on the kang to eat.

Li Wan also washed his hands, and stood aside to make arrangements, glanced at the various dishes on the table, and first took a chopstick of chicken marrow and bamboo shoots into Mrs. Wang's bowl.

The bamboo shoots are made by removing the chicken legs, leaving the bones, smashing them to take out the bone marrow, and adorning them in the fresh bamboo shoots plate. The taste is salty, fresh, crisp, tender and refreshing, the color is elegant and clear, and the nutrition is also rich.

Mrs. Wang tasted it briefly, then nodded, and Li Wan spread another spoonful of eight-treasure tofu.

After only picking up two chopsticks of food, Mrs. Wang smiled at her and said, "Sit down and eat quickly, the food will get cold after a while, anyway, there are no outsiders here, so just be polite."

Li Wan responded with a smile, Fu Ling hurriedly took Li Wan's bowl and chopsticks, and filled a bowl of Japonica rice.

Li Wan tasted a mouthful of wolfberry buds, and picked up another eggplant with chopsticks, only to find that the taste was fragrant and delicious, and the taste was excellent.

The Rongguo Mansion is indeed extravagant, and they never tire of the fine food, the fine dishes, and a dish of eggplant with more than a dozen chickens. In her previous life, she could not eat such a dish at all, but in Jia's Mansion, it is just an ordinary dish.

At this time, all the maids and daughters-in-law in the house can only hear the sound of coughing, but not the sound of bowls and chopsticks.

Li Wan ate half a bowl of Japonica rice, drank a few mouthfuls of sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup, and ate another mincemeat cake.

After dinner in silence, a girl raised the curtain and nodded to a group of women and girls waiting outside. Everyone understood, and immediately two women entered the room and carried the dining table out.Another four servant girls went to the tea room in the corner of the east chamber, and after a while they came with two washbasins and rinsed them.

Li Wan and Mrs. Wang rinsed their mouths, and Jin Chuan'er and Fu Ling came in with two bowls of tea each on small lacquered tea trays.

At this time, Aunt Zhou and the others had all retreated, and only Jin Chuan'er Fuling and other personal attendants were in the room. After taking two sips of tea, Li Wan remembered something he had been thinking about, and said, "I have something I would like to ask my wife to tell you." Down."

Mrs. Wang wiped the corner of her mouth lightly with a handkerchief, and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Wan said: "I want to go to the temple tomorrow to fast for a few days."

Mrs. Wang was slightly taken aback, "What are you going to do in the temple?"

Li Wan glanced at Mrs. Wang, paused for a moment, and said softly: "I think it will be the twelfth of September in three days, and it's the uncle's anniversary sacrifice. I want to go to the temple to fast for a while tomorrow, and give it to my uncle." Recite the scriptures for seven days to save the uncle."

At that time, death is as important as life, and everything after death is very important, especially the anniversary and three-year sacrifices after the new funeral. People with conditions must invite monks and Taoists to perform rituals and recite scriptures

Exceed some.She mentioned this matter firstly to satisfy her own concern, and secondly, she really wanted to chant sutras for Jia Zhu and his wife, so as to seek peace of mind.

Mrs. Wang was startled when she heard the words, and then her eyes turned red, and she shed tears immediately.

Jin Chuan'er and the others hurried forward to persuade, "Miss, take care of yourself."

Li Wan also stood up, "Madam..."

Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears, and waved her hands to order everyone to retreat, "It's okay, but it hurts to think that Zhu'er has been gone for a year."

After finishing speaking, he beckoned Li Wan to come to her, held her hand and said, "Good boy, it's hard for you to have such a heart. If that's the case, I'll send someone to Tianqi Temple tomorrow to tell them to make a clean courtyard for them to come out." .”

Tianqi Temple is the largest temple in Kyoto, and its incense is very prosperous.

Li Wan hurriedly said: "Ma'am, I just want to find a quieter place to recite scriptures for the uncle. Although the Qi Temple was full of incense that day, there were many people and people coming and going. It's not good. It's better to go to the Muni Temple." , just outside the west gate, very cheap, and the place is clean, the courtyard is full of bhikkhunis, and the pilgrims who come and go are also female relatives, so there is no need to shy away from it, it is the most suitable."

The Namuni Temple was built in the previous dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years. It is the place where bhikkhunis were burned and repaired. It is also very famous.

Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment when she heard the words, then nodded and said: "You are right, I will send someone to the presiding teacher of the Muni Academy tomorrow morning to speak."

After speaking, I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "The rest is fine, but Brother Lang is too young, so I don't need to take him, otherwise what will happen if he is accidentally blown by the wind? Besides, the child's eyes Youjing, it’s better not to go to those temples or Taoist temples, it’s better to stay with me, anyway, you will only go for seven or eight days, and I will take care of you, so you just need to rest assured.”

When Li Wan thought about the medical conditions in this era, he was really not at ease, so he smiled and said: "What Madam said is, it's just that Lan'er is a fussy kid, I'm afraid it will tire Madam."

Mrs. Wang said: "How much he can tire me with a small family, and besides, there are nurses and maids, so you don't have to worry about it."

Li Wan had no choice but to agree.
