Chapter 130 Promise
On the eighth day of November, snow began to fall in the sky. It was as soft as fine sand. The moment she opened the door, Chen Xiuyan was affected by the snow-covered snow. She was so excited that she left her feet on the snow like a child.
Prints, handprints, even rolled into a ball like a snowball fight and thrown on Luo Wenqian's shoulder who came out a moment later.
The woman on the snow is wearing a red jacket on her upper body, a crescent-colored thick cloth skirt on her lower body, and a pair of white embroidered cotton shoes on her feet. Her black hair is tied up and only fixed with a flat gold hairpin inlaid with pearls. She is beautiful.
The smile on her fair face was as bright as a flower, like a fairy on the snow. Luo Wenqian was stunned.
"Come out." Across the main room on the right side of the main room, Mr. Tao came out and saw his apprentice looking at his wife with a stupid smile, and couldn't help but complain.
After Mr. Tao lived at home, Luo Mingqing gave up his room in the main house and lived in the east wing.
"Mr. Tao, let's go have breakfast." Chen Xiuyan reacted first and walked from the yard to the eaves.
"Promising." This word, Tao Tao, now also belongs to Chen Xiuyan, "Just like a charming girl from the south who has never seen snow, she grew up in the north and became pretentious when seeing snow."
"It seems that we can save the red bean dumplings for the afternoon." Chen Xiuyan walked towards the main room.
"Hey, hey, why are you saying such stingy words for such a generous person?" Mr. Tao immediately went over to say nice things, "I just said those things about others, not about you. No matter how heroic you are,
However, it is very suitable for my taste."
"I don't know if the spleen is right or not, but the stomach is right." Chen Xiuyan replied with a click of her tongue.
"So you can." Mr. Tao gave a thumbs up, "How many people can't stand up to my stomach."
Chen Xiuyan laughed out loud when she heard this, "I know, I know, no one can save you."
"Yes." Mr. Tao got what he wanted to hear, and immediately entered the main room proudly, "Xiao Se, let me take a look at what delicious food you made today."
"It's cold today. What do you think of the hot bean porridge, freshly steamed dumplings, and an egg?" After several months of getting along, Luo Wense had figured out Mr. Tao's temperament, so
I also paid more attention to breakfast.
"Very good, very good." Mr. Tao sat at the top of the table comfortably, and the others took their seats one after another, and they all finished their hot breakfast.
Wang Yajie comes to Luojiatang for breakfast every day. Now that it’s getting too cold, he specially brought a gift today. Wang Zhai also prepared an extra donkey cart full of ingredients. Today is more than a month before the Chinese New Year.
, he will live in Luo Wenqian's home.
"We should have come here a long time ago." Mr. Tao said while looking at the things on the donkey cart. "Is there anything new this time?"
"There is venison." The boy from Wang's house bowed and replied respectfully, "I met a hunter this morning selling the deer he had caught, and my wife ordered all of them to be bought."
"Your wife is really a good head of the family." Mr. Tao praised without hesitation. "Your husband is lucky. He married a good wife and she gave him a capable son."
Wang Yajie looked calm on the side. Every time he received praise from Mr. Tao for his ingredients, he had gone from being ecstatic at the beginning to being embarrassed after knowing the truth. Now he can face it very calmly.
"Xiao Yanyan, what do you think of eating this venison?" Mr. Tao turned to look at Chen Xiuyan happily.
"Let's eat pot tonight." Chen Xiuyan replied.
"Xiao Yanyan is really a roundworm in my stomach." Tao Lao excitedly began to look for other things to put in the pot.
"There are such big shrimps." Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised when she saw the frozen prawns.
"Madam knew that Mr. Tao's allergy was gone, so she sent people to Jimo to buy a lot of seafood. The prawns were brought back first by a fisherman she met on the road. The seafood should be delivered in a few days."
said.
Mr. Tao could be said to be dancing for joy. After he was happy, he immediately took Luo Wenqian and Wang Yajie to the study room, "Why don't you go study quickly? We have good food and drink at home. Who else are you going to do if you can't study well?
You must be my apprentice..."
When the young man saw the three people entering the study, his smile grew stronger. If he went back and reported the truth to his wife, he would surely be rewarded with silver.
Qian Dongliang had already tied up the donkey cart, but the servant from Wangzhai took the initiative to take over the task, "Ms. Xie Yuan, I have to go back to resume my life, so I can just send the two young masters and Miss Mingxin there."
"Madam mentioned it, and asked me to ask my wife's opinion. It's been cold recently. It would be more convenient for Miss Mingxin to live in Wang's house. She lives in the same courtyard as my daughter, and she will have company when she goes to and from school in the future." The servant conveyed to Mrs. Wang.
idea.
Chen Xiuyan didn't have any objections. She respected her children's opinions more, "You decide for yourself, Ming Xin."
"I'd better stay at home. Anyway, Brother Dongliang has arranged the donkey cart to be very warm and comfortable, and it's not too cold on the road. Besides, my uncle and aunt are going to the capital again after the Chinese New Year, and I won't see you for a long time." Luo Mingxin looked at her eyes.
With deep reluctance, "When my brother-in-law and others go to the capital, how about I go live with Sister Yayu again?"
Luo Mingxin said the last sentence to the servant in Wangzhai.
"Of course you can." The boy smiled and said, "Madam said, Miss Mingxin can stay there anytime."
After sending the children away, Chen Xiuyan carried a food box and went to Mrs. Yuan and Granny Su's house.
Mrs. Yuan was a person who enjoyed herself. She opened some windows in the house for ventilation, placed a charcoal basin in the corner, and set up a charcoal basin in front of her with an iron mesh on top. Peanuts, chestnuts, taro, sweet potatoes and potatoes were roasting on it.
"The legs are quite long." Mrs. Yuan looked at Chen Xiuyan entering the room, smiled and waved teasingly, "The first batch is almost ready, let's eat together."
"What's delicious in your hand?"
"Red bean dumplings, this afternoon's dessert, this jar is made from the sugar water on top." Chen Xiuyan smiled and served it to the two of them, "I'll bring it to you after I've cooked it in the afternoon. This one is just right to go with these."
After Chen Xiuyan had finished cleaning up, she picked up a cooked peanut and pushed it open with her hot hands. It was hot, crispy and fragrant. The roasted peanuts were really delicious.
"Aunt Yuan, why don't you go home to celebrate the New Year this year?" Chen Xiuyan invited.
"It's not even the twelfth lunar month yet, and you're thinking about celebrating the New Year." Mrs. Yuan said with a smile, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, "The Chinese New Year is just like that, it's not interesting."
"Madam," Granny Su reminded, "that Mr. Tao is also celebrating the New Year here this year?"
"Yes." Chen Xiuyan nodded and said, "Mr. Tao told me a long time ago that he would go to the capital with us after the year."
"It's so crowded, madam, why don't we celebrate the New Year together and chat together, and we can learn more about interesting things." Granny Su said with a hint.
"In that case, let's spend it together." Mrs. Yuan thought for a while and agreed.
"Come to our house to eat pot together in the evening. I specially prepared two." Chen Xiuyan invited, and there were two of them. Mrs. Yuan nodded in agreement.
