After Pan Jinlian entered the door, I turned black

I went home through the back door, just under the curtain when I happened to meet Mrs. Pan going upstairs, she didn't seem to see me.

Looking at the time, it should be her lunch break.

I put down the basket and went out again. Miao Xiuxiu was already waiting for me on the street.

After half an hour.

We two held hands, looked at the high-ranking family that Aunt Miao was talking about, and couldn't help but look at each other.

I said, "Xiuxiu, are you sure you've found the right place? Is this the place?"

Miao Xiuxiu nodded seriously, and pointed to the plaque hanging on the wooden door, on which the word Lu Mansion was written in a flying and phoenix dance.

Miao Xiuxiu said: "My mother brought me here for a while, I remember this plaque, there is no mistake."

Although I am illiterate, I can't read the words on the plaque either. I just think that the person who wrote this handwriting must be very open-minded, otherwise he would not have the artistic conception.

Look, I've learned the interjection tone.

I smiled wryly, and looked sideways at the roses protruding from a wall a few feet away, which were just about to bloom, with pink and white dots among the green bushes.

It was such a coincidence that Xiuxiu's main family was the neighbor of Uncle Yao's family.

I said: "Since we are here, we will see each other from time to time, and when we go back, I will treat you to tea with candied golden oranges, do you want it or not?"

Miao Xiuxiu frowned when she heard the food, and immediately stretched out two fingers, saying: "Yes! And I want to eat another pine flower pancake. I'm hungry after a day of embroidery."

As they said that, the two of them passed by the door of Yao's house, and I looked inside frequently. Since the door was closed, I still hoped that someone would open it right away, and see them again.

Miao Xiuxiu said: "What kind of flower is this? It's so fragrant, Ying'er, you wait, I'll pick it and wear it with you."

Before he finished speaking, the monkey had climbed up the wall in twos and twos, and immediately picked up a few pink and white roses.

I was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Come down quickly, and don't pick those flowers, then..."

"Who is stealing my flowers! Shameless!"

A male duck shouted from the yard of Yao's house, and the barking of a little milk dog, so the comparison between the two sides is really funny.

When I heard this, I felt very kind.

Miao Xiuxiu was riding on the wall, holding a few half-opened roses in her hand, pouted her buttocks, jumped down high, and pulled me to leave.

"Steal something and want to run away? Xiao Hua bit her!"

The door opened with a creak, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy ran out angrily. In front of him was a yellow-haired dog that was shedding its hair. This piece and that piece looked ugly.

But I know that this dog is ugly, but it has a very bad temper. It is just like its owner, and it looks like its owner.

I grabbed Miao Xiuxiu and said, "Don't run, don't be afraid."

Miao Xiuxiu immediately hid behind me, hiding the flower, as if afraid that others would see it, and stared at the little flower dog from time to time.

I couldn't help laughing, the little girl is not afraid of anything, but she is afraid of dogs.

"You shameless thief! Stealing my flowers, I will take you to the officials!" The young man was wearing a blue silk shirt, and looked at me and Xiuxiu with a straight face, as if he was about to be arrested by the officers and soldiers.

Miao Xiuxiu poked her head out and said, "You are really boring, why don't you just take your two flowers and curse at me, it's so boring."

The young man became angry immediately, pointed at Miao Xiuxiu's hand, and said, "Two flowers? Look how many are there!"

I looked around, my good guy, I'm afraid there are about ten branches, Xiuxiu, why are you so fast with your hands, what are you doing with so many?

Miao Xiuxiu was speechless, she tugged on my sleeve and winked.

I coughed and said modestly: "Brother calm down, you must be Yao Fang, the eldest son of the Yao family, right?"

Long time no see, Brother Yao is well.

Yao Fangqi asked, "You recognize me?"

I said: "Yes, I am Yinger, the daughter of Wuda who buys sesame cakes in front of the street. My uncle Wu Song and Uncle Yao know each other."

I said again: "I once heard my uncle mention you, saying that Second Uncle Yao's family is well educated, and you must have a bright future in the court."

Yao Fang listened, looked at me, and said: "I know Uncle Wu who sells sesame seed cakes, but how can you be sure, but I must be Yao Dalang, not Yao Xiaolang?"

I cursed inwardly, this kid has never been easy to fool from the beginning to the end, he blamed him for his bright future.

I smiled: "Uncle said that Dalang of the Yao family never puts down books, and he always carries books everywhere, so I knew it was you at a glance."

I pointed to the book in his hand.

Yao Fang immediately relaxed, and asked again: "Second Uncle Wu really said that?"

I said: "Yes, he returned home a few days ago, and now he is going to Tokyo to work again, and he also told me that if there is anything at home, he can come to Second Uncle Yao."

I don't know much about how the friendship between Wu Song and Second Uncle Yao came about, probably because Second Uncle Yao was often bullied when he was young, but Uncle Wu Song stepped forward.

Yao Fang said: "Looks like it really belongs to Uncle Wu's house, since it's like this, come in and have a seat, my mother cooked mung bean porridge, have some."

"Don't worry, whoever wants to eat your porridge, I have plenty at home," said Miao Xiuxiu, who hid behind me cowardly, but refused to give in, and directly rejected Yao Fang.

I quickly grabbed her and smiled at Yao Fang: "Brother Yao, don't listen to her, I heard from my uncle that the mung bean porridge made by the lady is very good, with rose flowers, it is very sweet and delicious."

Yao Fang raised his brows and said, "This is what Second Uncle Wu said too?"

I nodded again and again, turned around and explained to Xiuxiu in a low voice: "Don't talk too much, your customer is next door, Yao Fang must know something about the neighbors, let's sit down and find out more about the Lu family's affairs, for you Do you know in the future?"

Miao Xiuxiu swallowed her saliva because of my point, maybe she had figured it out, or she was thinking how delicious the mung bean porridge was, but she didn't dare to move when she saw the little flower dog.

Seeing this, Yao Fang smiled: "What's the matter? Are you afraid of dogs? Do you still dare to pick my flowers? I'll let the little flowers bite you."

I smiled wryly: "Brother Yao, I wonder if the eldest lady is at home? Where is Yao Zheng?"

Yao Fang waved at the little flower dog, and the dog slithered to my feet, barking a few times, and Miao Xiuxiu's sharp barking almost made my head buzz.

Self-inflicted sin, can't live.

Yao Fang laughed happily, and said: "My mother took my younger brother to offer incense, and she won't come back for a while, since she is the younger sister of the Wu family, come in, but I can't pick the flowers, my mother will scold him."

Xiuxiu was about to stick to me, so I pulled her and walked into Yao's house in a few steps.

The decoration is still the same as in the past, there is a large cluster of roses on the left side of the entrance, a white magnolia is planted on the flower stand, and there are stone tables and chairs under the magnolia tree. Yao Fang is studying here to prepare for the imperial examination in the coming year.

Xiuxiu and I sat down on the stone chair, the little flower dog circled around me, I patted its head and said: "What a little guy, this is my good sister Xiuxiu, don't bite her."

The little flower dog pretended to bark twice, but still squatted at my feet.

Miao Xiuxiu dodged subconsciously, and said: "Why is this stinky dog ​​so clingy to you, it's so annoying."

I said, "You are always clinging to me too."

Miao Xiuxiu was silent for a while, and I plugged my ears to block the snarl: "Well, you little hoof! Call me a dog!?"

Yao Fang brought out two bowls of rose mung bean porridge, and a plate of four rose flower pancakes. Before I got close, I could already smell the familiar smell.

Miao Xiuxiu took a few deep breaths: "It smells so good! Is this flower edible?"

Yao Fang said: "Of course it is possible. My mother cooks these two kinds of flowers for this wall of flowers. There is no other person in Qinghe County who has this skill."

I took a sip of the porridge, and the sweet taste spread on the tip of my tongue. The fragrance of roses and the refreshing mung beans were as delicious as ever.

I didn't know until I came to Yao's house that Mrs. Yao knew how to cook food. The rose flower pancakes she made were salty, fragrant and crispy. They were better than my dad's pancakes. It's just that she was always weak and couldn't do tiring work. , That's why I didn't open a shop in front of the street.

It is also these two kinds of food that give Mrs. Yao some fame in Qinghe County. During the flowering season, many wealthy households in the county follow her to find them, and they get some subsidies a year.

Yao Fang's Shuxiu who entered the academy did enough, he didn't let us pick flowers and wear them, that's the reason.

Miao Xiuxiu finally felt a little embarrassed, blushing and said: "I'm really sorry, I just don't pick it from now on."

I put down the bowl and glanced at the shaded yard next door, but couldn't see anything.

I said, "Brother Yao, do you know the Lu residence next door?"

Yao Fang put down the book and asked curiously, "What's the matter? Are you going to his house?"

It sounds like it's familiar.

I shook my head and said, "It's not me, it's Xiuxiu."

I pointed to Miao Xiuxiu and introduced them to the two of them. Miao Xiuxiu finally remembered to salute and said good luck to Yao Fang.

Yao Fangdao: "His family is very proud, he doesn't see people easily, and he doesn't bother to pay attention."

Seeing Miao Xiuxiu looking at him eagerly, she said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that his family doesn't communicate with the neighbors very often. My mother kindly offered them flower pancakes, but was rejected. I don't think it's easy to get along with."

At the end, he added: "However, I didn't hear anyone embarrassing them."

My heart followed Yao Fang's words, up and down, and after hearing his last sentence, I fell back to the original place steadily.

I said: "Since that's the case, don't worry, Xiuxiu, as long as you work honestly, they will not make things difficult for you."

Miao Xiuxiu nodded in agreement.

Yao Fang was going to review his homework, and Xiuxiu and I were about to leave.

When I reached the door and was about to leave, I heard the sound of horseshoes stepping on the stone slabs.

The door next door was wide open, and in the distance a horse-drawn carriage made of mahogany drove through the street, its horseshoes trampled, and it barely stopped in front of the gate of Lu's residence.

Miao Xiuxiu was so excited that she held my hand tightly and said in a low voice: "Ying'er, look, is the young master of the Lu family back?"

At this time, the door of the Lu family opened, and there were two or three servants standing beside the door.

The leading nun just looked towards me.

Looking carefully at the nanny smiling kindly at me, I recognized an old acquaintance.

It was a perfect coincidence that the ferryman came across the river, the gold and green satin flying fish python garment that Pan sewed was written by this Mammy Li.

I laughed silently, took advantage of the situation and tugged at Miao Xiuxiu, and said all blessings to Nanny Li,

Miao Xiuxiu didn't know why.

The carriage stopped, the driver jumped out of the carriage, put down the horse stool, a servant stepped forward respectfully, and said something in a low voice, several servants stood quietly and waited, not daring to make a sound.

I looked at the battle, probably Miao Xiuxiu's future client, the young master of the Lu family, Lu Chenqing.
