Immortal Venerable Cubs Manual II [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 54 True and False Gold [V]
Si Anyue came back to her senses when she felt Zhao Zhao's waving hand, and asked, "Ah? What did you just say?"
Liang Zhaozhao stood by the window, looked at the fire in the courtyard, and replied with a smile: "I just asked what you were in a daze about."
In fact, what she said before was "that meat must not be roasted for me", because her current physical condition is not suitable for eating barbecue, and that person knows medical principles.
It's just that sister Yue'er asked again, but she didn't want to answer like this.Maybe it was baked for Yueer, it would be embarrassing to be so serious.
Si Anyue put away the bloody thoughts in her mind, and said nonchalantly, "I was a little surprised to see my father do this with his own hands. Why did you get down? If you don't feel well, just lie down for a while."
Liang Zhaozhao: "I'm much better now."
When she heard Si Anyue say that her father was grilling meat for her, she couldn't help being a little curious, and walked over on her own initiative.
She didn't think that man would do anything pyrotechnic like barbecue.
Before she went to the capital to meet her so-called father, she sometimes couldn't help thinking: what kind of person would her father be?Why did she abandon her mother-in-law and her?What would she do if she had the chance to meet him?
However, that side four years ago made all her plans come to nothing—her father was not the one who lied to A Niang.
She didn't seem to feel anything special then.
Now that she knows all the backstory, she seems to see the man differently.
She still can't call that person "father" without any grievances, let alone the closer "daddy"... However, the care and curiosity in her heart cannot be stopped.
It's hard for her to imagine what that man with a celestial appearance and noble temperament looks like.
It was also hard for her to accept that her father used to be like this. It seemed that four years ago, he was not as outstanding.Presumably, some people look better with age?
Uh... Looking at the face that was dimly illuminated by the firelight, she seemed unable to describe it as "old" against her will.
He seems to be only one year younger than his mother, but he looks much younger than his mother.
Liang Zhaozhao couldn't help but sigh silently when he thought of the Liang family who was still in the Zhou Mansion.She doesn't really have any mother-daughter affection for Liang Shi, but if Liang Shi is left in the dragon's pond and tiger's den, she actually feels a little bit guilty.
After all, it was the Liang family who redeemed her from the Zhang family, made her lose her slave status, and gave her a fairly stable life for the past four years.She was not willing to admit Liang Shi as her mother, but she could not deny that regardless of the blood relationship between the two, Liang Shi was kind to her.
Even if she can't be filial to Liang Shi, she can't completely ignore Liang Shi.It's just that she doesn't know how long Liang can live if she leaves Yuezhou like this.
A mistress who is barren, without the support of her natal family, without the favor of her husband, but with a generous dowry, must be a thorn in the eyes of many people in Zhou Mansion, right?
She originally planned to avoid it for a while and return to Yuezhou City, but now she naturally wants to go back with them, maybe they will become her support.
If she can solve Liang's troubles and let Liang have a place to settle down, then she won't have any worries if she wants to leave.
Liang Zhaozhao and Si Anyue had their own thoughts, and after saying a few words, they both sat silently in front of the window.
Si Xingjian in the courtyard seemed to have sensed something, raised his head casually, and saw two dodging figures.
Si Xingjian was a little surprised: why did they hide?It's just that it's not easy for him to ask, so he continued to grill meat for Lan Lan.
Liang Zhaozhao, who was dragged into hiding by Si Anyue, also felt strange, "Why are we hiding?"
For Si Anyue, this is her father who has been with her for nearly 14 years. Does she still sneak around when she sees her own father?
Si Anyue just acted subconsciously, and now she feels a little uncomfortable, but how could she show timidity in front of her younger sister?So Si Anyue dragged Liang Zhaozhao to the table, "I just don't think there's anything to see, are you hungry? Let's eat some pastries first."
As she spoke, she opened the lid of the food box, and then let out an exclamation.
The red sandalwood food box is divided into four grids, one is slightly larger, and four flower rolls are placed inside.
There are three small grids next to it, and there are three colors of pastries: the golden yellow is coconut mille-feuille cake, sprinkled with white icing sugar; Touhua Ciba, a sweet and soft glutinous glutinous rice cake wrapped in a red "flower", if not unexpected, the flower should be made of bean paste...
After Liang Zhaozhao saw it, he felt a little surprised that it was all her favorite food?
She knew that these were sent by the man named Zhao Man. Before that, Zhao Man didn't know that he would meet Si Xingjian and others, so these were all prepared for her.But she didn't think that Zhao Man would know what she liked to eat, even Mrs. Liang might not know what she liked to eat, let alone Zhao Man was an outsider and a man.
Perhaps the people who prepared these thought that women of their age would love these desserts, or maybe sister Yue'er loved them?Just bought it for her.
Si Anyue wrapped the flower rolls in oiled paper, handed them to Cherry, and asked her to warm them up in the kitchen, and then said to Liang Zhaozhao, "Is this the special pastry of Yuezhou? I haven't arrived in Yuezhou yet, so I have to taste it first." Soon."
From Si Anyue's point of view, the people who prepared these probably didn't know their preferences, and they might not meet them by chance, so they must have bought some famous snacks casually.
Liang Zhaozhao replied truthfully: "This is not a special feature, it should be available everywhere."
She wiped her hands clean and squeezed a piece of lotus root flour osmanthus cake, which was really soft and sweet.
Si Anyue also took a sip, and after swallowing, she took a big sip of water and asked, "Do Yuezhou people have a sweet taste?"
Liang Zhaozhao ate with small bites, looking satisfied.
She only ate a few rough noodle steamed buns in the past two days, and now she was sick again, and her mouth was tasteless, so she felt that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was very sweet and delicious.When she heard Si Anyue's question, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, which suits her taste but not sister Yue'er's?
She suppressed her doubts calmly, and replied casually: "It's not that the locals are sweet, this is indeed sweeter than ordinary people's taste. It's hard for a man like Zhao Man to be so careful, taking everything into consideration, but The pastries are a little sweeter, not a big deal."
As she expected, Si Anyue explained with a slight smile: "How could Zhao Man prepare these carelessly? Besides, even if he had such a heart, his father would not allow it. The luggage must be packed by a woman." of."
There are also shoes and socks in it, it looks like they are for Zhaozhao, how could father let the outsider do it?
"Woman?" Liang Zhaozhao pretended to be surprised, "Are there any other women accompanying him?"
"Of course, Zhaozhao, you should know that Zhao Man was arranged by his father to go to Yuezhou in advance, right?" Si Anyue saw Zhaozhao nodding, and then continued to speak reassuringly, "It's like I have Hibiscus with me. It must be convenient to be with a woman."
As Si Anyue said, she got up to look at the luggage she had unpacked before. She picked up a pair of shoes, "Look at these embroidered shoes, they probably fit your feet perfectly. Oh, the shoes you're wearing don't match your clothes at all, why don't you change them ?”
She was a bit displeased with the pretty Zhaozhao sister who was wearing a beautiful dress, but she wore a pair of ugly and old shoes.
Liang Zhaozhao smiled casually, "If it's late at night, don't bother, just change it tomorrow."
Cakes are her favorite; the clothes, at a glance, can be seen to fit, and they are very similar to those before she fell into the water yesterday; even the shoes fit her feet... Can outsiders see these?
Maybe someone has seen her go to Wuweizhai to buy pastries, maybe someone can tell the size of her feet with just a glance, but the possibility of this should not be great, at least not as much as the possibility that someone in the Zhou mansion revealed the news .
These are not secrets, Su Mu and Su Ye beside her know it.Was it observed by someone with a heart, or was it a routine from Su Mu and the others?She didn't quite believe that Su Mu and Su Ye would betray. Those two girls had been with her for three years, and they were afraid that they would do some calculations and not know what they said to others.
Apart from the personal servant girl beside him, Liang Zhaozhao thought of Aunt Yan who appeared in the Zhou Mansion not long ago.
It is not impossible for a good-looking and intelligent woman like Aunt Yan to follow Master Zhizhou, and I don't know why she would look at Zhou Yong, a martial artist.
I heard that Aunt Yan was rescued by the hero Zhou Yong, so just like what was written in a script, Aunt Yan agreed with her body.And after she entered the Zhou Mansion, she claimed that she would observe the filial piety for her father who died of illness for three months, using the month to replace the year.
Just like that, Aunt Yan has become Zhou Yong's favorite concubine, so Aunt Yan's methods cannot be ignored.Zhou Yong is not a boy who has never seen women before, how could he love Aunt Yan only because of her beauty?It must be Aunt Yan who will please people.
If it is a concubine attached to the head of the family, it is not surprising to do so.It's just that Aunt Yan showed kindness to her and Liang Shi more than once, and even repaired another concubine who bullied Liang Shi before, which forced Liang Zhaozhao to pay more attention to Aunt Yan.
Thinking about it now, is there such a possibility—Aunt Yan was sent by Si Xingjian.
She looked at it coldly, and the people who could show their faces around Si Xingjian were all good-looking.Although Hibiscus has scars on her face, it can be seen that she looked beautiful before she was injured.That little maid, Cherry, is very delicate and lovely.Even Zhao Qing and Zhao Man are handsome.
It's true that the appearance alone can't explain anything, but so many suspicious things put together, she can't help but have this association.
If that was the case, she would be a little dissatisfied.Who would like to be spied on and pry into their private life?She doesn't like it anyway.
But can this blame Aunt Yan as a task performer?The person who ordered it should be blamed.
Liang Zhaozhao was unhappy about being offended, but she didn't show it on her face at all. She took another piece of coconut cake and took a bite. It was soft, glutinous and sweet, with a bit of coconut flavor.Although not too fresh, it is still delicious.
Liang Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, um, for the sake of coconut cake, please forgive that person a little.
Si Xingjian was thinking, since Zhao Man's car overturned here, it's better not to let Zhao Zhao know about Ruyan's place.Anyway, Ruyan is willing to leave by herself, presumably there will be no more dealings with Zhaozhao in the future, so he doesn't have to explain more to Zhaozhao.
He didn't know that Liang Zhaozhao had already made a good guess.
Si Xingjian roasted the meat with simple seasoning and put most of it on a clean cloth for Lan Lan. He only cut some hind legs.
Mu Jin and the others quickly prepared the rest of the food, and gave Zhaozhao and the others a bowl of rice porridge and a bowl of broth.
Mu Jin has calmly accepted the fact that she has been reduced from a guard to a part-time cook and maid. Looking at these very rough bowls, she explained to the two daughters who have always lived delicately: "There are only a few bowls here. A bowl, which has been boiled in water, is clean."
The conditions here are too simple, except for the three masters who can use bowls, the rest have to use basins, ladles, spoons and the like, and they are not enough.
Mu Jin was expressionless, but she was praying in her heart that the two of them could eat quickly so that she could still have a bowl.When she was thinking this way, she heard Liang Zhaozhao say, "I'll just eat rice porridge, and you can take the broth away."
Hibiscus: Did she speak her mind?Otherwise, how could Miss Zhaozhao have such a considerate move?
But Mu Jin was not very good at polite words, so after hearing what Liang Zhaozhao said, she obediently took the broth away and sent it to Si Xingjian.
Si Xingjian saw Hibiscus coming, and asked, "Will Zhao Zhao eat it?"
Hibiscus gave a soft "hmm".
Si Xingjian was not surprised at all. Now that Zhaozhao is sick, she can’t eat barbecue, but she can drink broth. She refused without even trying it. It’s just because the old monk passed away. It's just filial piety.
But his own father is still alive, what kind of filial piety does she have for someone else's father?
For this kind of thing, it's fine if you think about it, why do you have to abide by these common etiquette?
Zhaozhao was originally in poor health, and had been cold and hungry for the past two days. Now his conditions are limited, but at least he has a bowl of hot broth to drink.For that point of useless common etiquette, it would be too bad to damage one's own body.
He was thinking about Zhao Zhao's health, not because he felt that Zhao Zhao's filial piety for others was an eyesore.
Si Xingjian found an excuse and sent the bowl of soup back in person.
Inside the house, Si Anyue was also persuading Liang Zhaozhao not to drink that bowl of rice porridge. The air in the mountains was humid, and the rice seemed a little damp. In addition, this was ordinary rice, and the husk had not been removed, so the taste was not very good.
Seeing him come in, Si Anyue put the bowl of soup in front of Zhao Zhao, and said, "Since father brought it back, there is no need to bother, let's have a bowl each."
Before that, she planned to give up her own bowl to sister Zhaozhao.
Liang Zhaozhao glanced at Si Xingjian, didn't say the excuses before, and lowered his eyes and said: "No, actually, I don't think it's appropriate to eat meat in front of the Buddha in the temple."
"Ah?" Si Anyue put down the hand that was about to hold the bowl, "Then I won't eat either."
In fact, she doesn't believe in Buddhism, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong with eating meat in temples.She is not a monk, and there are no monks here to see her.But my sister said so, if she still eats, will it make my sister feel that she doesn't care about her thoughts?
Liang Zhaozhao: "I don't eat it myself, so why would I ask others to do the same? Otherwise, I would have stopped you from killing."
She moved Si Anyue's bowl forward, "Eat it."
This was just an excuse, there was no need for others to follow her to eat this weird rice porridge.
Although Si Xingjian knew the reason for Zhaozhao's actions, he still followed her words: "The Buddha is merciful and doesn't mind these things. If the Buddha knew that you were starving because of it, and even made your illness worse, he might blame himself .”
Liang Zhaozhao raised his head, "Why? Isn't there also vegetarian porridge here?"
"The rice is a bit moldy, and it will produce a toxin, so it cannot be eaten." Si Xingjian is not lying. Moldy rice may produce aflatoxin.
He's just exaggerating a little bit.
Si Anyue answered immediately: "No wonder I think this rice porridge tastes weird. Luckily, Zhao Zhao, you didn't eat it. I just tasted it and spit it out."
"Let's drink the broth." She hurriedly moved the rice porridge away, "Pour it out in a while."
Si Xingjian took it away, and before turning around, he said: "There are some things that don't need to worry about the external form, it's good to have that kind of heart, especially when things happen and cannot be undone. Only by taking good care of your body can you have a healthy life." Opportunity to make your wish come true.”
After Liang Zhaozhao thought for a while, he understood what he meant.
She thinks she is not a person who sticks to common etiquette, but when she thinks that this is the place where Dr. Chen was killed, and that Dr. Chen's body was thrown not far away and cannot be buried in the ground, as a half-disciple, she now has nothing but What else can he do if he keeps his filial piety for a few days?
Now that I think about it, it's really useless to do so.
Si Anyue looked at the back of her father who turned away without hesitation, recalled what he said just now that seemed to have a different meaning, and then went to look at the thoughtful Liang Zhaozhao, always feeling that the two of them were playing charades.
She didn't quite understand, but she could guess that her father was trying to persuade Zhaozhao.
"Father seldom speaks so much earnestly, so Zhaozhao should save face, otherwise, I'd be ashamed to eat it."
Si Anyue vaguely sensed that Si Xingjian's attitude towards Zhaozhao was different. Not only was she not jealous, but she felt sorry for her—the more abnormal her father was, the bigger her plot might be.
In the past, her father would not coax her like this, because all her father wanted her to do was to marry, and in-laws were a bond, binding two irrelevant families together, whether she liked it or not.
But now, my father values Zhao Zhao so much...
She always finds an opportunity to remind Zhao Zhao, lest Zhao Zhao repeat her mistakes.
Liang Zhaozhao recovered from her own thoughts, and caught a look full of worry and concern. She curled the corner of her mouth and said softly, "I'll just drink it."
She is not a person who does not know what is good or bad.
It was because she was narrow-minded before, and she thought she was a helpless person who could do nothing for Dr. Chen except to express her affection by following these useless etiquettes.
In fact, she has a father now.
No matter whether her father really loves her or has some other purpose, she can use his strength.If Si Xingjian really wanted to recognize her back, then she made a small request to "seek justice for Master", presumably the other party would agree.If he came to her with malicious intentions, she would not be lenient when he took advantage of him.
After thinking about this, Liang Zhaozhao's mood improved a bit. Holding the porcelain bowl in both hands, she sipped the soup while casually chatting with Si Anyue.
The next morning, Si Anyue was woken up by Cherry. Last night she and Zhao Zhao slept on the same bed, covered with the same cloak, chatting quietly.In the past, when she was reading, she found that people with good relationships often talked with candles at night and fell asleep on their feet. Now she also has little sisters who can talk heart-to-heart at night.
She pressed the back of her neck that was a little sore with one hand, and covered her mouth with the other and yawned.
When Si Anyue opened her tears-filled eyes, she saw a thin young man packing things at the table. She opened her eyes wide in surprise, and her still not sober mind tried hard to think: how could a man enter her room? ?Did no one stop it?
"Are you awake?" The boy turned around and walked towards her.
It turned out to be Zhao Zhao.
Si Anyue blinked, tilted her head and asked, "Why are you wearing men's clothing again?"
"Don't you want to ride a horse today? It's more convenient." Liang Zhaozhao didn't explain too much. In fact, although she is determined to go back to Yuezhou City with them, she doesn't want to go back to Zhou Mansion for the time being. Recognize it, and it will also make it easier for her to find opportunities to do her own things behind their backs.
"Oh." Si Anyue rubbed the back of her neck, put on her embroidered shoes, and took two steps forward to carefully look at Zhao Zhao who was wearing men's clothes.
When they first met yesterday, Liang Zhaozhao was also wearing men's clothing, but it was a coarse bunt, and it was a bit tattered. He was dressed like a little beggar.
Today she was wearing a moon-white cross-neck gown, only with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the collar and sleeves. The very simple dress was enhanced by the slightly youthful but extraordinarily handsome face.
Liang Zhaozhao, who is not yet 14 years old, is still very thin, and her female features have not yet developed. In addition, she has a generous demeanor. The boy looks too delicate and delicate.
Si Anyue praised sincerely: "Well, it is worthy of the phrase 'Moshang is like jade'."
Then he sighed with a little envy: "I haven't worn men's clothing yet."
It's not that Si Anyue likes men's clothing, it's just that she feels that she has never acted out of line, compared with Zhao Zhao, she has a lot less experience and feels regretful.
Liang Zhaozhao didn't take that compliment seriously, and only comforted him: "It's a pity, there are no extra men's clothes here, but if you wear them together in the future, there will be a chance, so let's freshen up quickly."
The cherries have already brought the hot water.
Si Anyue firmly remembers her identity as the elder sister - even though she has only beaten Zhao Zhao for a day, she intends to dress up her younger sister beautifully, but right now there is no room for her to use her skills, even pearls and makeup, So she pulled Zhao Zhao to clean his face again with water added with fragrant dew, and carefully applied Zhao Zhao's osmanthus-flavored face cream.
"Look at you, if you don't take good care of your skin, your face will become chapped. You can't just rely on your skin to be careless. The weather is dry and the autumn wind is like a knife..."
Si Anyue moved her hands gently, but she kept scolding non-stop. She rubbed Liang Zhaozhao's face for a long time before she reluctantly withdrew her hands.
Hey, my sister's face is so easy to touch!
Liang Zhaozhao didn't know that this fine-living elder sister would have such a "disciple" behavior, she just thought that girls of her age would like this, and with a helpless smile on her lips, she let Si Anyue smear on her face .
She lived a rough life. She used to only use soap, which can cleanse and moisturize the skin. It kills two birds with one stone. The rest of the makeup powder is not used.
After Si Anyue applied the moisturizing cream, she picked up the thrush ink to trace her eyebrows, "Your eyebrows are a bit thin, and you don't seem to be manly."
Liang Zhaozhao opened his eyes and looked at what Si Anyue used to draw her eyebrows. He saw that Si Anyue's slender fingers were pinching a piece of black ink that was as thick as an indigo-colored chopstick, slightly soaked in water.Is this specifically for eyebrows?Uh... Forgive her for not seeing the world, she occasionally sees the female family in the mansion using black powder, and she finds it troublesome, and occasionally uses burnt willow branches directly when dressing up as a man.
It turns out that such a convenient and exquisite object specially used for thrush is still used.
Liang Zhaozhao sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on his face, and let Si Anyue paint without moving.
"Okay, take a look." Si Anyue's surprised voice sounded, then she straightened up and took a palm-sized mirror. The delicate and compact mirror was not only engraved with complicated patterns, but also inlaid with various gemstones. What's more, This little mirror has a cover.
Liang Zhaozhao, who was going to stand up and take a casual look at the water as a mirror, sat down silently again.
Didn't Sister Yue'er come from the capital?Isn't it easy to take a short-cut to get here now?These grooms and dresses turned out to be the same.
Probably because she didn't have any handkerchiefs to hand, and she didn't know that it would be so troublesome for a woman to travel.
Liang Zhaozhao couldn't help but slander.
With a "snap", Si Anyue opened the small mirror and handed it to Liang Zhaozhao.
This is actually a glazed mirror.
Liang Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows in surprise, and saw the man in the mirror raise his eyebrows slightly.Of course she is familiar with her face, but seeing her like this now, she still can't help being dazed, because this face...
Liang Zhaozhao stood by the window, looked at the fire in the courtyard, and replied with a smile: "I just asked what you were in a daze about."
In fact, what she said before was "that meat must not be roasted for me", because her current physical condition is not suitable for eating barbecue, and that person knows medical principles.
It's just that sister Yue'er asked again, but she didn't want to answer like this.Maybe it was baked for Yueer, it would be embarrassing to be so serious.
Si Anyue put away the bloody thoughts in her mind, and said nonchalantly, "I was a little surprised to see my father do this with his own hands. Why did you get down? If you don't feel well, just lie down for a while."
Liang Zhaozhao: "I'm much better now."

Those two girls had been with her for three years, and they were afraid that they would do some calculations and not know what they said to others.
Apart from the personal servant girl beside him, Liang Zhaozhao thought of Aunt Yan who appeared in the Zhou Mansion not long ago.
It is not impossible for a good-looking and intelligent woman like Aunt Yan to follow Master Zhizhou, and I don't know why she would look at Zhou Yong, a martial artist.
I heard that Aunt Yan was rescued by the hero Zhou Yong, so just like what was written in a script, Aunt Yan agreed with her body.And after she entered the Zhou Mansion, she claimed that she would observe the filial piety for her father who died of illness for three months, using the month to replace the year.
Just like that, Aunt Yan has become Zhou Yong's favorite concubine, so Aunt Yan's methods cannot be ignored.Zhou Yong is not a boy who has never seen women before, how could he love Aunt Yan only because of her beauty?It must be Aunt Yan who will please people.
If it is a concubine attached to the head of the family, it is not surprising to do so.It's just that Aunt Yan showed kindness to her and Liang Shi more than once, and even repaired another concubine who bullied Liang Shi before, which forced Liang Zhaozhao to pay more attention to Aunt Yan.
Thinking about it now, is there such a possibility—Aunt Yan was sent by Si Xingjian.
She looked at it coldly, and the people who could show their faces around Si Xingjian were all good-looking.Although Hibiscus has scars on her face, it can be seen that she looked beautiful before she was injured.That little maid, Cherry, is very delicate and lovely.Even Zhao Qing and Zhao Man are handsome.
It's true that the appearance alone can't explain anything, but so many suspicious things put together, she can't help but have this association.
If that was the case, she would be a little dissatisfied.Who would like to be spied on and pry into their private life?She doesn't like it anyway.
But can this blame Aunt Yan as a task performer?The person who ordered it should be blamed.
Liang Zhaozhao was unhappy about being offended, but she didn't show it on her face at all. She took another piece of coconut cake and took a bite. It was soft, glutinous and sweet, with a bit of coconut flavor.Although not too fresh, it is still delicious.
Liang Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, um, for the sake of coconut cake, please forgive that person a little.
Si Xingjian was thinking, since Zhao Man's car overturned here, it's better not to let Zhao Zhao know about Ruyan's place.Anyway, Ruyan is willing to leave by herself, presumably there will be no more dealings with Zhaozhao in the future, so he doesn't have to explain more to Zhaozhao.
He didn't know that Liang Zhaozhao had already made a good guess.
Si Xingjian roasted the meat with simple seasoning and put most of it on a clean cloth for Lan Lan. He only cut some hind legs.
Mu Jin and the others quickly prepared the rest of the food, and gave Zhaozhao and the others a bowl of rice porridge and a bowl of broth.
Mu Jin has calmly accepted the fact that she has been reduced from a guard to a part-time cook and maid. Looking at these very rough bowls, she explained to the two daughters who have always lived delicately: "There are only a few bowls here. A bowl, which has been boiled in water, is clean."
The conditions here are too simple, except for the three masters who can use bowls, the rest have to use basins, ladles, spoons and the like, and they are not enough.
Mu Jin was expressionless, but she was praying in her heart that the two of them could eat quickly so that she could still have a bowl.When she was thinking this way, she heard Liang Zhaozhao say, "I'll just eat rice porridge, and you can take the broth away."
Hibiscus: Did she speak her mind?Otherwise, how could Miss Zhaozhao have such a considerate move?
But Mu Jin was not very good at polite words, so after hearing what Liang Zhaozhao said, she obediently took the broth away and sent it to Si Xingjian.
Si Xingjian saw Hibiscus coming, and asked, "Will Zhao Zhao eat it?"
Hibiscus gave a soft "hmm".
Si Xingjian was not surprised at all. Now that Zhaozhao is sick, she can’t eat barbecue, but she can drink broth. She refused without even trying it. It’s just because the old monk passed away. It's just filial piety.
But his own father is still alive, what kind of filial piety does she have for someone else's father?
For this kind of thing, it's fine if you think about it, why do you have to abide by these common etiquette?
Zhaozhao was originally in poor health, and had been cold and hungry for the past two days. Now his conditions are limited, but at least he has a bowl of hot broth to drink.For that point of useless common etiquette, it would be too bad to damage one's own body.
He was thinking about Zhao Zhao's health, not because he felt that Zhao Zhao's filial piety for others was an eyesore.
Si Xingjian found an excuse and sent the bowl of soup back in person.
Inside the house, Si Anyue was also persuading Liang Zhaozhao not to drink that bowl of rice porridge. The air in the mountains was humid, and the rice seemed a little damp. In addition, this was ordinary rice, and the husk had not been removed, so the taste was not very good.
Seeing him come in, Si Anyue put the bowl of soup in front of Zhao Zhao, and said, "Since father brought it back, there is no need to bother, let's have a bowl each."
Before that, she planned to give up her own bowl to sister Zhaozhao.
Liang Zhaozhao glanced at Si Xingjian, didn't say the excuses before, and lowered his eyes and said: "No, actually, I don't think it's appropriate to eat meat in front of the Buddha in the temple."
"Ah?" Si Anyue put down the hand that was about to hold the bowl, "Then I won't eat either."
In fact, she doesn't believe in Buddhism, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong with eating meat in temples.She is not a monk, and there are no monks here to see her.But my sister said so, if she still eats, will it make my sister feel that she doesn't care about her thoughts?
Liang Zhaozhao: "I don't eat it myself, so why would I ask others to do the same? Otherwise, I would have stopped you from killing."
She moved Si Anyue's bowl forward, "Eat it."
This was just an excuse, there was no need for others to follow her to eat this weird rice porridge.
Although Si Xingjian knew the reason for Zhaozhao's actions, he still followed her words: "The Buddha is merciful and doesn't mind these things. If the Buddha knew that you were starving because of it, and even made your illness worse, he might blame himself .”
Liang Zhaozhao raised his head, "Why? Isn't there also vegetarian porridge here?"
"The rice is a bit moldy, and it will produce a toxin, so it cannot be eaten." Si Xingjian is not lying. Moldy rice may produce aflatoxin.
He's just exaggerating a little bit.
Si Anyue answered immediately: "No wonder I think this rice porridge tastes weird. Luckily, Zhao Zhao, you didn't eat it. I just tasted it and spit it out."
"Let's drink the broth." She hurriedly moved the rice porridge away, "Pour it out in a while."
Si Xingjian took it away, and before turning around, he said: "There are some things that don't need to worry about the external form, it's good to have that kind of heart, especially when things happen and cannot be undone. Only by taking good care of your body can you have a healthy life." Opportunity to make your wish come true.”
After Liang Zhaozhao thought for a while, he understood what he meant.
She thinks she is not a person who sticks to common etiquette, but when she thinks that this is the place where Dr. Chen was killed, and that Dr. Chen's body was thrown not far away and cannot be buried in the ground, as a half-disciple, she now has nothing but What else can he do if he keeps his filial piety for a few days?
Now that I think about it, it's really useless to do so.
Si Anyue looked at the back of her father who turned away without hesitation, recalled what he said just now that seemed to have a different meaning, and then went to look at the thoughtful Liang Zhaozhao, always feeling that the two of them were playing charades.
She didn't quite understand, but she could guess that her father was trying to persuade Zhaozhao.
"Father seldom speaks so much earnestly, so Zhaozhao should save face, otherwise, I'd be ashamed to eat it."
Si Anyue vaguely sensed that Si Xingjian's attitude towards Zhaozhao was different. Not only was she not jealous, but she felt sorry for her—the more abnormal her father was, the bigger her plot might be.
In the past, her father would not coax her like this, because all her father wanted her to do was to marry, and in-laws were a bond, binding two irrelevant families together, whether she liked it or not.
But now, my father values Zhao Zhao so much...
She always finds an opportunity to remind Zhao Zhao, lest Zhao Zhao repeat her mistakes.
Liang Zhaozhao recovered from her own thoughts, and caught a look full of worry and concern. She curled the corner of her mouth and said softly, "I'll just drink it."
She is not a person who does not know what is good or bad.
It was because she was narrow-minded before, and she thought she was a helpless person who could do nothing for Dr. Chen except to express her affection by following these useless etiquettes.
In fact, she has a father now.
No matter whether her father really loves her or has some other purpose, she can use his strength.If Si Xingjian really wanted to recognize her back, then she made a small request to "seek justice for Master", presumably the other party would agree.If he came to her with malicious intentions, she would not be lenient when he took advantage of him.
After thinking about this, Liang Zhaozhao's mood improved a bit. Holding the porcelain bowl in both hands, she sipped the soup while casually chatting with Si Anyue.
The next morning, Si Anyue was woken up by Cherry. Last night she and Zhao Zhao slept on the same bed, covered with the same cloak, chatting quietly.In the past, when she was reading, she found that people with good relationships often talked with candles at night and fell asleep on their feet. Now she also has little sisters who can talk heart-to-heart at night.
She pressed the back of her neck that was a little sore with one hand, and covered her mouth with the other and yawned.
When Si Anyue opened her tears-filled eyes, she saw a thin young man packing things at the table. She opened her eyes wide in surprise, and her still not sober mind tried hard to think: how could a man enter her room? ?Did no one stop it?
"Are you awake?" The boy turned around and walked towards her.
It turned out to be Zhao Zhao.
Si Anyue blinked, tilted her head and asked, "Why are you wearing men's clothing again?"
"Don't you want to ride a horse today? It's more convenient." Liang Zhaozhao didn't explain too much. In fact, although she is determined to go back to Yuezhou City with them, she doesn't want to go back to Zhou Mansion for the time being. Recognize it, and it will also make it easier for her to find opportunities to do her own things behind their backs.
"Oh." Si Anyue rubbed the back of her neck, put on her embroidered shoes, and took two steps forward to carefully look at Zhao Zhao who was wearing men's clothes.
When they first met yesterday, Liang Zhaozhao was also wearing men's clothing, but it was a coarse bunt, and it was a bit tattered. He was dressed like a little beggar.
Today she was wearing a moon-white cross-neck gown, only with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the collar and sleeves. The very simple dress was enhanced by the slightly youthful but extraordinarily handsome face.
Liang Zhaozhao, who is not yet 14 years old, is still very thin, and her female features have not yet developed. In addition, she has a generous demeanor. The boy looks too delicate and delicate.
Si Anyue praised sincerely: "Well, it is worthy of the phrase 'Moshang is like jade'."
Then he sighed with a little envy: "I haven't worn men's clothing yet."
It's not that Si Anyue likes men's clothing, it's just that she feels that she has never acted out of line, compared with Zhao Zhao, she has a lot less experience and feels regretful.
Liang Zhaozhao didn't take that compliment seriously, and only comforted him: "It's a pity, there are no extra men's clothes here, but if you wear them together in the future, there will be a chance, so let's freshen up quickly."
The cherries have already brought the hot water.
Si Anyue firmly remembers her identity as the elder sister - even though she has only beaten Zhao Zhao for a day, she intends to dress up her younger sister beautifully, but right now there is no room for her to use her skills, even pearls and makeup, So she pulled Zhao Zhao to clean his face again with water added with fragrant dew, and carefully applied Zhao Zhao's osmanthus-flavored face cream.
"Look at you, if you don't take good care of your skin, your face will become chapped. You can't just rely on your skin to be careless. The weather is dry and the autumn wind is like a knife..."
Si Anyue moved her hands gently, but she kept scolding non-stop. She rubbed Liang Zhaozhao's face for a long time before she reluctantly withdrew her hands.
Hey, my sister's face is so easy to touch!
Liang Zhaozhao didn't know that this fine-living elder sister would have such a "disciple" behavior, she just thought that girls of her age would like this, and with a helpless smile on her lips, she let Si Anyue smear on her face .
She lived a rough life. She used to only use soap, which can cleanse and moisturize the skin. It kills two birds with one stone. The rest of the makeup powder is not used.
After Si Anyue applied the moisturizing cream, she picked up the thrush ink to trace her eyebrows, "Your eyebrows are a bit thin, and you don't seem to be manly."
Liang Zhaozhao opened his eyes and looked at what Si Anyue used to draw her eyebrows. He saw that Si Anyue's slender fingers were pinching a piece of black ink that was as thick as an indigo-colored chopstick, slightly soaked in water.Is this specifically for eyebrows?Uh... Forgive her for not seeing the world, she occasionally sees the female family in the mansion using black powder, and she finds it troublesome, and occasionally uses burnt willow branches directly when dressing up as a man.
It turns out that such a convenient and exquisite object specially used for thrush is still used.
Liang Zhaozhao sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on his face, and let Si Anyue paint without moving.
"Okay, take a look." Si Anyue's surprised voice sounded, then she straightened up and took a palm-sized mirror. The delicate and compact mirror was not only engraved with complicated patterns, but also inlaid with various gemstones. What's more, This little mirror has a cover.
Liang Zhaozhao, who was going to stand up and take a casual look at the water as a mirror, sat down silently again.
Didn't Sister Yue'er come from the capital?Isn't it easy to take a short-cut to get here now?These grooms and dresses turned out to be the same.
Probably because she didn't have any handkerchiefs to hand, and she didn't know that it would be so troublesome for a woman to travel.
Liang Zhaozhao couldn't help but slander.
With a "snap", Si Anyue opened the small mirror and handed it to Liang Zhaozhao.
This is actually a glazed mirror.
Liang Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows in surprise, and saw the man in the mirror raise his eyebrows slightly.Of course she is familiar with her face, but seeing her like this now, she still can't help being dazed, because this face...
