[Qingchuan Space+Red Mansion] Qingluan is a thing in the pool

Xue Wang stayed at the Wang family for a few more days, and was taken back to Jinling by Xue Zhi, the second son-in-law of the Xue family who came to the door.After the two left, Wang Shishi, who had been annoyed by Xue Wangshi and Wang Renzhi, soon fell ill. In just a few days, he was bedridden, and he was about to be ill.Wang had no choice but to take over the job of housekeeper again.Fortunately, the little Qingluan in her womb seemed to know her mother's troubles and never made a fuss. Wang didn't suffer from morning sickness, and Wang Xifeng could help with some simple affairs. Therefore, Wang's complexion was rosy when she was pregnant. different.

In this way, nothing happened for a few months, time flew by, and it was the cold winter months in a blink of an eye.On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Wang had a big belly, and together with Wang Xifeng, who rarely changed into women's clothes, she commanded the servant girl in the mansion to boil yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, and peeled jujube paste with water. Cooked Laba porridge,

After the Laba porridge was cooked, Wang asked her maid to use red-dyed peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar, and grapes for coloring.

After finishing these, Mrs. Wang asked Mama Zhang to lead the servants to carry a large pot of steaming Laba porridge to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the warm Laba porridge was served in small white porcelain bowls and sent to Rongyang Courtyard where Wang Shishi lived and Wenyin Courtyard where Xixi lived.

Because the ancestors are pure Han people, in addition to the custom of cooking Laba porridge to worship ancestors during the Laba season, the Wang family also has the habit of brewing Laba vinegar and soaking Laba garlic.And after Wang married into the Wang family, there was an additional habit of making Laba tofu.

Because Wang was pregnant, it was inconvenient for her to do it herself, so she let Mo Lan and Mo Ju, the dowry maids who accompanied her to the Wang family (the two were married to the servants in the palace respectively, and they are still serving by Wang's side) Teach Wang Xifeng how to brew Laba vinegar and pickle Laba garlic step by step.

"This Laba vinegar should be brewed from the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and then soaked until the first day of the new year." Wang picked up the handkerchief to wipe off the sweat of the busy Wang Xifeng. At the end, he did not forget to explain. So the reason for this. "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we have to eat dumplings, and we have to eat vegetarian dumplings, which means a year of vegetarianism and cleanliness. It has a special taste when dipped in Laba vinegar."

At this time, Mo Ju, who was helping by the side, interjected with a smile. "No, when I was a child, my family was poor. The happiest thing all year round was celebrating Laba and Chinese New Year. On Laba day, there was hot Laba porridge to drink, and during Chinese New Year, there were steaming vegetarian dumplings. If the family had spare money, Auntie would Everyone will boil an egg."

"I eat vegetarian dumplings and eggs during Chinese New Year..." Wang Xifeng frowned and asked Mo Ju, thinking of the countless delicacies on the table every Chinese New Year. "Mo Ju's family is so poor."

"If I'm not poor, why would my family sell me?" Thinking of her cruel parents, Mo Ju became a little depressed.But fortunately, she quickly calmed down the look in her eyes, and taught Wang Xifeng to peel the garlic cloves one by one and put them in the jar one by one. Then let the boy move the sealed jars to the cellar—and repeat this, and in a short while, dozens of jars of laba vinegar were made.

After finishing all this, Wang Xifeng was still unsatisfied, and kept saying to Wang that it was really fun.Mrs. Wang smiled, wiped Wang Xifeng's hands with a handkerchief, and then led her to the Rongyang Courtyard.

On the way, Wang Xifeng touched Wang's stomach with her little hand and asked. "Is my brother good today?"

Wang laughed and joked. "What if it's not a brother or a sister?"

"I like my sister, but the old lady will not be happy." Wang Xifeng frowned and said like a kid. "The old lady is crazy about her grandson."

"Whether crazy or not, you can't say this again. If it reaches the old lady's ears, I will catch you and scold you again."

"But I'm telling the truth..." Wang Xifeng didn't care at all, instead he said happily. "I will teach my younger brother well after he comes out, so as not to let him be like Brother Ren."

"Don't mention that bad stuff on such a good day." Thinking of Wang Ren, who has behaved more and more outrageously since the incident of beating and killing the nanny, Wang frowned and asked Wang Xifeng. "Brother Ren didn't come to trouble you, did he?"

"Why didn't you come...Brother Ren said a lot of nasty things to scold Brother Feng, saying that there is no place to ask him for advice in the future, or Brother Feng will accept it." Wang Xifeng didn't answer, but Wang Xifeng waited by her side Qing'er, the eldest maid, couldn't help but stand up for Wang Xifeng. "And Brother Ren also snatched Brother Feng's jewelry box."

"Why don't you tell your aunt about these things..." Wang glanced at Wang Xifeng, who only had a few velvet flowers on her head, and her face sank. "Girl, don't tell me you are still young, you dare to hide this kind of thing from me. You really think that my wife in charge is a vegetarian."

Qing'er repeatedly pleaded guilty. "Fu Jin's slaves dare not, but the girl said, now that you are pregnant with a child, Fujin, don't let this bad thing disturb your mood, anyway, the box of jewelry is not worth much, brother Ren, if you want to grab it, just grab it. "

"Forget it, I won't mention such a bad thing on this happy day." After the new year, he must be cleaned up properly. What's the matter with grabbing the jewelry box of the sister-in-law? The palace is short of you Your food is still short of your drink, isn't the monthly expenditure of ten taels of silver not enough, to actually do such a shameful thing, something that can't be put on the table.

Wang's mouth swallowed, swallowing his contempt for Wang Ren, comforting Wang Xifeng in this way. "" Auntie Minger will take you out to Ruyizhai to buy a few sets of facial masks.Girls don't have good jewelry belts, are you ashamed to go out? "

"Don't I have men's clothes?" Wang Xifeng muttered, but was stared at by Wang Shi, so she could only swallow her words and agree.

After saying a few more words on the way, the two masters arrived at Rongyangyuan.Entering the gate of the courtyard, Mrs. Wang first asked Chunhua what Wang Shishi took today, what she took, and when she took the medicine. Finally, she led Wang Xifeng to sit beside the bed and talked to relieve Wang Shishi's boredom.

Such a stay lasted for a day, during which Mrs. Wang personally served Wang Shishi to take medicine and meals.Perhaps because of Wang Shi's meticulous service these days, Wang Shishi's complexion looks better today than in the past.

Wang's heart was relieved, and she talked about it with Wang Ziteng after Wang Ziteng returned to the mansion.After all, it was his biological mother, and Wang Ziteng was also happy when she recovered, so he couldn't help letting go of his worries and focusing on his errands.

It's the first day of the first month, the day the year begins.Mrs. Wang got up early, and with a seven-month-old belly, she led a large group of maids to Yanfei Courtyard where Wang Xifeng lived.

When they arrived at Yanfei Courtyard, Wang Xifeng had already been woken up by Qing'er, she was wearing her underwear, chatting with Qing'er with a displeased face.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's arrival, Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, and she ran up to Mrs. Wang and complained, not caring that she would catch cold if she only wore underwear.

"Auntie, you have to explain clearly, I don't want to wear women's clothes, but she wants to wear a rose-red flag dress for me..." As she said, Wang Xifeng shook the hem of Wang's clothes, acting coquettishly Said. "Auntie, I want to wear men's clothes."

Wang took the one from Qing'er, which was trimmed with gray squirrel fur on the outside, and wrapped in a thick layer of cotton blanket for Wang Xifeng... "Even if you want to wear men's clothes, you can't just wear underwear Let's run, it's winter, even though the house is lit with silver charcoal, it's still cold, you girl won't be afraid of the cold."

As she spoke, Mrs. Wang stretched out her finger and tapped Wang Xifeng's forehead lightly, and then signaled Wang Xifeng's maid, Qing'er, to find a bright red dress for Wang Xifeng herself.

Wang Xifeng was a little unhappy, but considering that she really loved her aunt to wear it for herself, Wang Xifeng didn't refuse, but said still a little sullenly. "Auntie, I really want to wear men's clothes."

"What kind of men's clothes are you wearing for the Chinese New Year? You are not afraid that the old lady will scold you again."

Thinking of being raised by Wang Shishi's younger brother Wang Ren, Wang Xifeng was even more dissatisfied.She is the only legitimate daughter left by her father, but in Wang Shishi's eyes, she is not as good as a hair of her aunt's younger brother. As for Wang Xifeng, who is doomed to lose money, Wang's education is up to her if she wants to.

Wang Xifeng, who had lost her father and just lost her mother, was terrified when she heard Wang Shishi say that she was a loser. She only hated herself for not being a man.So from that moment on, Wang Xifeng fell in love with wearing men's clothing.

The Wang family also knew what Wang Xifeng was thinking, so they asked the servants in the mansion to change the title of Miss Wang, and called Wang Xifeng and Brother Feng.It's just that on the first day of the new year, at the beginning of the year, it's not easy to let Wang Xifeng's temper.

Qing'er, the maidservant beside Wang Xifeng, found a red flag dress with white fur on the cuffs, large peonies embroidered with golden silk thread on the chest, and a black embroidered railing on the skirt.

After putting it on, Mrs. Wang put on a quilted mandarin jacket also trimmed with white wool for Wang Xifeng. Then she took a comb and combed Wang Xifeng's hair. Bead flower hairpin, after pinning a string of small coral beads on the tip of her hair, Mrs. Wang took a closer look, and felt that there was no need to flatten the hairpin, so she wiped some rouge with her hands, put it on Wang Xifeng's lips, and then To wear the same red drop coral earrings.

"Look at how beautiful our brother Feng is."

Seeing the little cutie that appeared in her hands, Mrs. Wang joked with a smile on her face. "Today, my aunt knows what it means to be beautiful and beautiful."

"Auntie loves to tease Feng'er."

Wang Xifeng pouted and acted like a baby, completely treating Wang as her mother.Of course, there are other reasons why the Wang family also loves Wang Xifeng sincerely.Wang Xifeng is not stupid, or very smart.She knew clearly that her uncle's family was the only one she could rely on when her parents died.The Wang family is in charge of her uncle Wang Ziteng, and her future marriages can only be decided by the Wang family. Even if Wang Shishi intervenes, the uncle probably will not agree to it, and if there is no conscience, whether Wang Shishi can live to that time depends Make a question mark.So, even if you, Wang Shishi, dislike me as a loser, so what.

Wang Shi didn't know that Wang Xifeng, who was only seven or eight years old now, had a plan in mind, but even if she knew, Wang Shi didn't care.It would be better for the niece she brought up to be successful, at least she won't worry too much after she gets married.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang added a white headgear embroidered with silver flowers to Wang Xifeng, and then led Wang Xifeng, with a big belly, to the mighty Wang Rongyang Courtyard with a string of maids and women.
