Across the Red Mansion: Qingwen Upgrade Road

Qingwen went back to the house with the little snake in her arms, opened her clothes under the watchful eye of her elder sister and little girl, and took a look. The little snake was still a long strip, but her body was warmer. No, it should be dead.Qingwen just laid out the kang, built a nest and put the little snake in, and then took her eldest sister to the kitchen.

Shitou and Erdan helped to serve freshly made snacks and fruits, while Xiaoya and Xiaomei served the brewed jasmine tea, and obediently retreated to the sides to wait for orders.Fourth Master took a closer look at the layout of the house, all the furniture was made of ash, the original color paint was used, and the unique pattern of the wood was very simple.Sandalwood is burning in the room, and unknown flowers are placed in thin white porcelain vases on the window sill, making the whole room very warm.It was very warm in winter, and fourth master was very satisfied with the small courtyard of the farmhouse.

Qingwen took Zhou Shi and Wang Shi to work on the lunch of a group of people. Fortunately, everything was in order at home during the Chinese New Year.Lion head, steamed fish, fermented glutinous rice balls, fried chicken drumsticks, spicy crayfish, yellow braised chicken, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, fried eggplant box, etc., as well as desserts such as assorted cakes, apple pudding, pumpkin pie, red bean double-skin milk A table full of fruits and candies was placed on the table, Brother Ten swallowed secretly, and kept looking at Si Baylor.Sibeile's face turned black, "This kid looks like a starving ghost reincarnated, and there is no shortage of food for him in the palace." Looking at the rich-smelling farm food on the table, Sibeile swallowed quietly, "Although you can see It tastes really delicious."

Fu Jingle said happily to Fourth Master, "The dishes are all ready, let's start, it's cold in winter, it's not good if it gets cold, please." Elder Ten hurriedly took Fourth Master's hand, and winked at Elder Ninth , said in his mouth: "Fourth brother, let's do as the Romans do, hurry up and taste it." The fourth master smiled and sat on the top seat, Fu Jing accompanied the first person on the right side of the fourth master, and the ninth master was the first on the left. Elder Brother Ten did it next to Master Jiu.Fu Jing watched Si Ye move his chopsticks, and then gently clapped his hands together, "I'm starting." Then he moved his chopsticks, causing Elder Brother Ten to look at him, "What do you mean by that? Who are you talking to?"

Fu Jing smiled, "I'm not talking to anyone, I just want to thank you for the good weather, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the family is rich." The fourth master nodded, "Your method is good, but you have a Zen mind. People still have to be in awe and gratitude." He said with a smile A table of food was exhausted, especially Jiu Ye and Shi Ye really took over half of the table, especially those snacks, which were all in their stomachs.The stones who were serving at the side suppressed their laughter in their hearts, but they were still respectful on their faces.Fourth master was very satisfied with the etiquette of these children. It's really good that their brothers and sisters have such backgrounds to produce such servants.Today's fried tofu and watery meat taste very good. It would be great if I could ask for the recipe.Master Shi looked at Master Jiu arrogantly, his eyes were full of complacency, "Look at the Fujin I picked, can you find such a person?" Master Jiu looked at his stupid younger brother and turned around Roll eyes.

Seeing that it was getting late, fourth master took out a western pocket watch to see that the time was already past two o'clock, it was time to go back, and he had to attend the palace dinner in the evening.Fu Jing accompanied the fourth master and others out of the yard, and Er Dan ran all the way over wearing a bear hat. When he got close, he saluted, and then said loudly: "Master, masters, the lady said to give this prescription to the masters. It’s a New Year’s gift.”

Jiuye's eyes lit up, he took it over, opened it, and immediately burst into laughter. "This is a great congratulatory gift. Let's see if Brother Ten will ask me later." Master Ten hooked his neck to see what it was, but Master Jiu avoided it.Fourth master cast a glance at his younger brother, said goodbye to Fu Jing, got on his horse and led them away.

Elder Brother Ten kept clamoring to see what it was on the way, and Elder Brother Ninth laughed and said, "You idiot, what else can it be, just those prescriptions for eating. It's a congratulatory gift, but it's not about Xie Ye helping her store the Ganoderma lucidum." , so this recipe is mine.” Ten elder brother drooled as he thought of the dim sum he had just eaten, and said, “Give it to me, I’m giving you something else.” In the past, he held on.The fourth master reached out and knocked the tenth master, "Stop making trouble, go back quickly, and let the ninth brother copy a copy for you in a few days, or you can go to eat." The tenth elder brother looked at it with bright eyes. Looking at Fourth Master, "Fourth Brother still loves me." He gave Jiu Master a supercilious look and urged the horse to run away.Jiu Ye said speechlessly: "Look, fourth brother, he doesn't feel blushed every day when he goes to my mother's place to grab a meal." Fourth master smiled, "You are his brother, he only goes to your place if he likes you, you want I'm happy. The tenth brother doesn't go to my place very often." His face was a little disappointed, and Jiu Ye felt that he really wanted it for a moment, "Could it be that the fourth brother likes the old ten? No wonder the fourth brother always gave the old ten braised pork when he was young. If the fourth master knew, he would just say: "Ninth brother, I just don't like meat. Tenth brother has been round since he was a child, so it's good to give him meat. It's not bad to raise a fat brother."

Fu Jing took Qingwen's self-made kitten sleeves together with Erdan and Shitou to roll out dumpling wrappers. Li Chunming and several big men were in charge of making dumplings, while Qingwen took several women from the Zhou family around the charcoal. Sitting at the stove, one person was carrying a plate of fruit and snacks and talking about interesting things.Mrs. Zhou is a hearty person with a loud voice. Looking at her man's nose with noodles and rice dumplings and sweating profusely making dumplings, he said cheerfully: "This is a happy life. I haven't been busy since I've been with you. I am on all fours, and now it is very hard for you to know me." Wang has the unique charm of Jiangnan women, soft-spoken, and smiling, "This can be regarded as breaking Confucius's "a gentleman far away from the kitchen." ’, it shows that this saint is not all right.” The older girls giggled and gave the fruit in their hands to their mothers.Liu Xicai wiped off his sweat and sighed, "At first, I thought you women are the most comfortable, just take care of your home. The elders are running around outside, and what they want most is to go back and have a rest. I just made a dumpling today, so I know the truth. This job is not easy, if the lady needs anything in the future, just tell me, and I will do it."

Li Chunming laughed a few words, Wang Xiangtian teased Li Chunming, "It seems that Brother Chunming is comfortable now, his son is promising, and there is nothing at home, so he is the most comfortable." Li Jinxuan looked at his own father's smile from the heart, Said: "I thought it would be great if I could have a mother, and my father is loved by someone." Li Chunming blushed politely, glared at his son, and said angrily: "You are the only one who talks too much. "Fu Jingsui was only 11 years old, and he had a lot of eyes. Gulu said with big eyes: "If Uncle Li has someone who agrees, just say so, and we will definitely ask Uncle Li to come back."

Li Chunming said with a smile: "Master, I'm joking. I'm already at this age. I just want Jin Xuan to be good. My wife was a good one in the early years. I didn't think about marrying again." Qingwen has always known that Li Uncle is a man with a true temperament, I never thought he would fall in love with him like this, "Don't worry, Uncle Li, if our children don't have a good future, I don't agree with it. At that time, we will provide for the uncles and aunts, and uncles and aunts will be sweet Dude, we are all rushing to serve."

Li Chunming and the others didn't expect their master to say this. Anyone who is a slave is not worried about the bleak end of life. They hope for the future of their children because someone will die, but they didn't expect Qingwen to have such thoughts.The red-eyed Wang took Qingwen's hand, "Miss, we thank you, thank you master. This kind of heart is enough."

Fu Jing only listened to Qingwen, but the gleam in his eyes was not stupid, only by treating her sincerely can he have a truly loyal slave.Firecrackers are set off at midnight, dumplings are cooked, and the New Year is over with the lively playing of poker and bamboo mahjong.At about six o'clock, the sky was still so dark, Fu Jing took Er Dan to light firecrackers, put on a red cotton hat, a red cotton scarf, red gloves, red boots, and Wearing a red cloak, all red, a bunch of large and small red envelopes went to the surrounding Zhuangzi to pay New Year's greetings.
