Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Li Wan said with a smile: "Lan'er is naughty, these few days must have made the madam and the old lady unhappy."

When Jia Mu heard this, she said with a smile: "It is because of him that it is lively. Besides, it is better for children to be naughty and strong."

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Lan lovingly, and said with a smile: "Lan'er is a small child, but he is extremely smart. Thanks to having him by his side these days, the room is quite lively."

Everyone looked at Jia Lan Yuxue's cute little face, and praised: "Lang Geer is not only born smart, but also looks more energetic. There are not many brothers in the whole capital who can compare with our Lange." son."

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard the words, they were very proud.

When Jia Lan heard her name, she giggled childishly. A few white baby teeth were exposed in her grinning mouth. She was smiling happily, but a mouthful of saliva also flowed out.

The little guy was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the puddle of saliva on the front of his shirt, his little face was dazed, as if he didn't understand what was going on.

Everyone burst into laughter, and Mother Jia laughed so hard that tears came out, and she cried "Ouch", while Yuanyang smiled and beat Mother Jia's back.

Jia Lan looked at the crowd for a while, and seemed to understand that they were laughing at him, so he pursed his mouth and burst into tears.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help laughing, and smiled at Li Wan: "Stop laughing, this kid is very temperamental, hurry up and coax him."

Li Wan couldn't help laughing, took a handkerchief and wiped his clothes with him, hugged and coaxed him, then signaled the girl to bring a dessert plate, and gave him a small piece of very soft and thin dessert, "Lan'er, good boy, eat cake cake."

Only then did Jia Lan smile through his tears, clutching the snacks with his small hands, but still buried his head on Li Wan's shoulder, only occasionally raising his head to take a sneak peek at the crowd.

Everyone couldn't help but wanted to laugh again. Seeing the little guy's big black eyes staring at him, they hurriedly held back.

With a smile in Jia Mu's eyes, she cleared her cough, turned to look at Li Wan, and asked about the situation in the Muni Court these days, and Li Wan said everything.

Hearing that Li Wan actually got to know Yan, the second roommate of Shoushanbo's mansion, Jia's mother was slightly startled, and exchanged glances with Mrs. Wang, both of whom were a little surprised.

Shoushan Bo's Mansion has always kept a low profile, and the friendship with the four kings and eight princes is only superficial, so the two families have very little contact. Although the second son's daughter-in-law, Yan Shi, only returned to Chang'an a few months ago, she is very famous among the wives. First, it was rumored that she controlled the inner house and refused to let her husband take a concubine, so that the house of the third master of the Jiang family has been in the house until now.

She was the only one, and her reputation as a jealous woman was too loud.The second is that the Yan family has an extraordinary family background. His mother was born in a branch of the Confucian family, and his father was from a wealthy Shandong family. Both his father and brother were well-known among scholars.

It's just that Yan's never liked publicity, and he rarely made friends with anyone after several months in Beijing, so he unexpectedly fell in love with Li Wan.

Although Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were a little surprised, they didn't say anything. Now the eldest daughter of Jiang's family has become the seventh prince's concubine, and the Shoushan uncle's mansion is also a relative of the emperor. No matter which prince succeeds to the throne, the seventh prince is also a prince. Although the Jia family didn't intend to curry favor, they didn't intend to offend him either.

After talking and joking for a while, Mother Jia got a little tired, so she said, "You all go back, I'll rest for a while to refresh my mind, Zhu's daughter-in-law is tired these days, so she doesn't have to come here to set rules in these two days, so she can rest. "

Seeing Li Wan's tired face, Mrs. Wang also said: "What the old lady said is that you have worked hard these days, and you should go back to rest soon, and you don't have to come over to say hello these two days."

Li Wan agreed and said with a smile: "The old lady loves her, so I'll be lazy."

After two more sentences, everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms.

After returning to the courtyard, Jia Lan was already sound asleep in the arms of her nurse. Seeing this, Li Wan said, "Take Lan'er back to the room to rest, so I can take care of her."

The nurse and the maids agreed, and carried Jialan back to the ear room to settle down.

Mei Xiang, Suyun Biyue and the others had already been waiting. Seeing Li Wan, she hurriedly went up to say hello, and said with a smile, "Grandma has come back, and the dowry has been packed. Grandma might as well freshen up and soak in a bath." Take a hot bath to relieve fatigue, and then you can take a rest."

Li Wan also felt sore all over, nodded his head, and said, "Forget it."

Mei Xiang hurriedly gave orders, and after a while, the hot fragrant soup was ready, as well as the chicken eggs and pancreas for washing hair.

Li Wan washed and washed for a while, changed into her homely pajamas, and asked Mei Xiang to massage her shoulders and neck, only to feel that the pain was better, and said: "I am very tired, let's go to sleep for a while." , I won’t have lunch, so don’t bother me.”

Mei Xiang agreed, and helped her to bed and lie down. At night, she tucked in the quilt, then lowered the curtain, and walked out gently.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Li Wanfang woke up in a daze. After a while, he slowly woke up and called Mei Xiang in.

Mei Xiang heard the sound and came in, rolled up the curtain and said with a smile: "I was planning to wake up grandma, if today is short, grandma will just take a nap, otherwise she won't be able to fall asleep at night after sleeping for a long time, and she won't be sleepy after walking. alright."

Li Wan Chui

He patted his shoulder and asked, "Where's Lan'er? Are you awake?"

Mei Xiang helped her get dressed while smiling and said: "Brother woke up a long time ago, just now he was making a fuss about looking for grandma, and then the wife sent someone over to take him to talk, but he hasn't been sent back yet. Woolen cloth."

Since she had nothing to do today and didn't go out, Mei Xiang chose a homely pair of long bodice with flowers on a white background. A duck-egg blue cotton satin skirt.The hair is only tied with a red gold flat hairpin, which is light and simple.

Li Wan took a closer look in the mirror, nodded, and asked again: "What's going on in the mansion these days?"

Mei Xiang said: "It's nothing, it's just that something happened in Lian's Second Mistress's yard."

After that, I talked about what happened in Sister Feng's courtyard a few days ago, and finally said: "Second Grandma was already ill, but she was made worse by this anger. I heard Ping'er complain about chest tightness and pain in her mouth for the past two days. Bitter, even rice is never easy to eat raw."

After hearing this, Li Wan couldn't help sighing, she was very fond of Sister Feng's straightforward temperament, and the housekeeper refused to let men, she was indeed a hero in the fandom team.

However, no matter how smart and capable Sister Feng is, in this era of strict etiquette and strict etiquette, where three wives and four concubines are the norm, it is not easy to pursue monogamy. Don’t you see that Mother Jia loves Sister Feng again, this time it is just a few words of comfort. Well, I don't think it's so important for Jia Lian to have an affair with a girl.

Jia Lian is also greedy and lustful, even if Sister Feng is sincere to him, it is nothing more than entrusting him to someone else.

After tidying up, Xia Zhu also brought the little girl up with hot water, and Li Wan washed up.

Then Danju came in with a snack box, opened the lid and took out two plates of snacks on the table, said with a smile: "Grandma has been sleeping for a long time, she should order some snacks, this is the red bean roll I just made There is still a plate of vegetarian three-fresh pastry, and it is still hot, grandma, try it."

These snacks are all made very small and served in small white porcelain dishes, exuding a tempting sweet fragrance.

After being told by Danju, Li Wanfang felt a little hungry in his belly, so he washed his hands, picked up a three fresh pastry, dipped it in some balsamic vinegar and tasted it, his mouth was full of fresh fragrance, sweet and refreshing, and the taste was very good.

Li Wan ate two buns and a cream roll, and said to Danju, "You guys take these and share them. You can send someone to the kitchen to tell you not to mess with dinner later." Those fat chickens and big ducks are too greasy, just cook some japonica rice porridge and get two refreshing side dishes, and then you can pickle the ones we had earlier

Serve some of the side dishes and serve as an appetizer. "

Danju agreed and went to cook by herself.

Xia Zhu came over with a plate of washed fruits, and said with a smile: "We are used to eating vegetarian food in the Muni Court these days, but we are not used to it when we return to the mansion."

Mei Xiang smiled and said, "I can't get used to it. Tofu has gluten every day, but the food in the mansion suits my taste."

While talking, Fu Ling took Xia Zhu to pick out the things that Li Wan planned to give to Baoyu Yingchun and others, but they were some small things that Li Wan ordered people to buy at the market earlier, and some fresh items from her village. fruit etc.

Fu Ling divided the things into several parts, tidied them up properly, and said, "Grandma, we have packed all the things we brought back, and will send them to the old ladies and girls in a while, do you want to have a look at them, grandma?"

Li Wan glanced at it and saw that it was very appropriate, so he nodded and said, "Send someone to send it to each room." After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Fu Ling, "Send someone to see Second Grandma and ask about this. In two days, I feel better, if I want to eat or not, I say that I should come in person, but I just came back from the nunnery, and I am a little tired, I will come to see it in person tomorrow."

Fu Ling agreed, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, Bi Yue is going to deliver something to Second Mistress, so she happens to be the one to talk."

After finishing speaking, she called Bi Yue to give instructions, Bi Yue agreed, and went to Sister Feng's courtyard with her things.

Not long after, Biyue came back, holding a stuffed assorted food box in her hand, and said with a smile: "Second Grandma said thank you for your concern, she has been much better for the past two days, but her mouth is still a little tasteless, but Uncle Qiao My wife sent me a few snacks, all of which were made in-house, and Second Mistress picked two and asked me to bring them to Grandma to try."

After finishing speaking, he opened the food box and showed it to Li Wan. There was a plate of yam cake with jujube paste and a plate of goose oil rolls with loose flesh.

Li Wan asked: "How do you look at Second Grandma's expression?"

Bi Yue said: "Your complexion is not bad, it's just that your spirit is a bit weak, and you're a little lazy."

After hearing this, Li Wan felt thoughtful.

Early the next morning, after Li Wan washed and washed, he ate a bowl of rice porridge with milk and japonica rice, and ate two steamed buns with tofu skin. After rinsing his mouth, he said to Dan Ju, "Is the thing I told you yesterday ready?"

Danju said: "It's all cleaned up."

Li Wan nodded, took Dan Ju out of the door, crossed the west flower wall from under the back window, and went out of the west corner gate to Sister Feng's courtyard.

When Sister Feng got the news, she ordered Ping'er to come out to greet her in person. The girl at the door drew up the scarlet felt curtain. Li Wan glanced at it.

Hair style, a peach red beige, a few gold hairpins and pearls on the head, quite gorgeous, but taciturn, with rather haggard eyebrows.

Li Wan's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a big red soft curtain hanging on the copper hook outside the door. Under the south window was a kang with red strips of felt. A large mattress with shining gold threads.

I saw that Sister Feng's family often wore a silver-red Lu silk double-breasted jacket, a soft yellow skirt, and a bead bag around her head. She leaned on the kang with her hand stove in her arms and a big red blanket on her knees. She was still as pink as before. Zhi Yan, only seemed to be two points lighter than before.

When Sister Feng saw Li Wan, she hurriedly got up and gave up her seat with a smile, and ordered Ping'er to pour tea.

Li Wan sat down on a small carved lacquer chair and asked, "Is your body getting better?"

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "It's all over now, thank you sister-in-law for thinking about it, and I sent someone to deliver something yesterday."

Li Wan laughed and said, "It's just wild ideas, not worth anything."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Things are small, what is rare is sister-in-law's heart."

While talking, Ping'er lifted the curtain and came in, holding a small chain of foreign lacquer tea trays in his hands, with a cup of exquisite new tea in it, and said: "Grandma drinks tea."

Li Wan thanked him, took a sip from the teacup, pointed to the food box on the table and said, "Yesterday I heard from Biyue that your mouth has no taste in the past two days, and you haven't eaten anything raw. This is bland." The few porridge wraps that Ju made before are salty, fragrant and refreshing, and are best served with porridge, and I don’t know if they suit your taste.”

While talking, Ping'er had already opened the food box and Sister Feng looked at it. They saw kohlrabi, dried radish, pickled melon, and fermented bean curd.

This pickle is fresh melons and vegetables washed and dried. After adding sesame oil, put some soft white sugar to pickle. It tastes very refreshing and appetizing.The same is true for fermented bean curd, a piece of fermented bean curd, put half a spoonful of sugar, and pour a little sesame oil on it, it is best to eat porridge.

Seeing her dedication, Sister Feng was very grateful, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I was just thinking about eating these, but the smell from the big kitchen is strange."
