The little lady of the He family, famous as Yingzhi, was almost fifteen years old, but her face was not as delicate as a girl, her pale face, her eyes were sunken, and she was like a puppet clay sculpture, without any anger.
After hearing Xu's words, He Yingzhi's eyes drooped, and tears fell: "Auntie, I have known my cousin's bad faith for a long time. I should sacrifice myself to accompany you. I should live a life of silence until now. I cannot die, live...
Just keep it, it is also a matter of course. If it weren't for me, my cousin wouldn't..."
"What is the right thing to do? Don't believe the second wife, she is lost, Brother Luo is lost, and everything she says is crazy, Brother Luo is gone, it is an accident, and what's wrong with you? If you are really strong, your parents
Why are you doing well? I often take you to my side, but you are not hindered by you. Why did it hinder Brother Luo?" Xu frowned and said, "You have studied and learned etiquette since you were a child, and you are not an ignorant and foolish woman in the countryside.
How could you believe this? You just think that you are Brother Luo’s fiancée, and you should be the one who wants to keep him alive, but you are still your parents’ daughter. Your parents have been born for fifteen years and it hurts in your heart.
Who are you worthy of just ruining yourself like this? Do you still have to worry about you for the rest of your life? Look at Taizhi, a little older child, has been anxious these days and has not been happy. Isn’t it because he feels sorry for your sister?
”
"You just feel sad, and you're so sad that you're so sad that you're so sad that you're so sad that you're dead? What qualifications do you have to ruin yourself if your parents' grace is not paid? Or do you really want to be an unfilial daughter?"
In the end, Xu was already very arrogant.
He Yingzhi trembled with tears in her eyes and said, "There are elder brothers and younger brothers in front of her father and mother..."
Xu snorted coldly: "Did you pick it up or carry it? Your mother did not suffer from the pregnancy for ten months? Your father did not regard you as a bead? You have been loved by your parents for more than ten years.
When it is your turn to be filial, do you say that your parents have brothers in front of you? Is this your filial piety? For your life and death before, your mother fell seriously ill, and your father almost made mistakes in the yamen because of a trance. I will take you
When leaving Beijing, it is not to calm down and talk about the three obediences and four virtues, but to let you see how big the world outside is. After leaving Beijing, who knows which family He is, and who knows who your parents are?"
Speaking of this, her tone became soft: "Auntie knows that you are so strict with yourself, not only for Brother Luo, but also for your parents. You are just stupid. Will your parents give up for their reputation?
The court emphasizes education and advocates the chastity of women. Every year, the Ministry of Rites also has a chastity archway. But the court is a court of men. They only shout that women keep chastity, so why not let men keep righteousness? After all, it is for
Satisfy their own selfish desires and quickly restrain women from acting. People's hearts are full of flesh. If someone really loves his daughter, who is willing to exchange flesh for the archway? As for some cruel people who force their widows to die for the archway, they will not be punished without saying anything.
If you can still get the tax-free silver for the archway, you can only say that the laws of nature are clear and unmissible, and you will get retribution sooner or later."
He Yingzhi was a little stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xu and murmured: "Why did your aunt say this?"
These words are simply unrestrained and question ethics.
"Rules are set by people, and rules should not be above people's hearts. People live in the world, some rules are abiding, and some rules are ignored. As long as they are upright and open-minded, they should live with confidence."
Xu held He Yingzhi's hand and said softly.
Xu's voice was not loud, but He Yingzhi only felt that he knocked on his heart and couldn't help but straighten his waist...
Inside the cabin of Shen Rui and Chen Jue.
Looking at Dong Xi, Liu Ya and the other two set up the dining table. Not only did Chen Jue's face droop, but Shen Rui also frowned slightly.
A dish of steamed river fish, a dish of steamed ham, a dish of fried rapeseed, and a dish of mushroom tofu.
Two meat and two vegetables look good, but the taste is really not quite satisfactory.
There is only one large kitchen on the boat, just on the second floor of the deck, and there are several large stoves. Although Xu's place is not hesitant to reward the chef, in order to save charcoal on the boat, most of them are steamed dishes, and occasionally there is a stir-fry dish, which is also a big pot dish. It's similar to boiled water.
Although the boat has to dock every night, there are not many ingredients that can be replenished in the middle of winter, and the dishes are just a few of them over and over again.
The river fish in winter has a fishy smell. If it is frying and cooking, it may taste better. This is steamed directly, and the fishy smell is lingering and the taste is very ecstasy.
There is also the ham, which is different from what they eat at home and is cooked with broth after feeding it. The cooking method is rough and has a very strong smoky smell.
The small rapeseed seemed to be fished out of the water. Apart from the salty smell, there was only one dish of mushroom tofu, which was not bad, but it couldn't resist the dish for every meal.
Chen Jue touched his stomach and lamented: "Brother Rui, I have no appetite anymore. Why don't Dong Xi grab two handfuls of money to get a portion of osmanthus candy rice cake?"
Although Chen Jue took the servant on the way, when he arrived on the boat, the servants were all maids and mothers on this floor, and the servants were sent to the second floor of the lower deck. Everyone usually had water-fetching tasks. The two mothers around Xu took care of them.
Because Shen Rui had Dongxi here and Liuya was there, he did not use Xu's people. Chen Jue also saw no foreign call to awaken Dongxi, Liuya came.
Shen Rui glanced at him: "You are the one you ate for lunch, aren't you afraid of toothache?"
Chen Jue had a bitter face and stared at the luck on the dining table, without the intention of moving chopsticks.
Shen Rui shook his head and said to Dongxi: "Soak the fried rice and put it in a plate of pickled vegetables."
This was what Shen Ruilin thought of before leaving the door. It was originally prepared for longevity and Liu Cheng. Thinking that both of them were prone to hunger when they grew up. But when they were out, it was easy to say that Shen Rui wanted to eat, but for the sake of the two, it was easy for Shen Rui to eat. It’s hard to say what I want to eat once or twice, but I didn’t expect that I would have a day to use it.
The so-called convenient porridge is very simple. It is to ask the kitchen to prepare five kilograms of japonica rice, stir-fry it with vegetarian oil and salt, and crush it with a rolling pin and soak it directly in boiling water when it needs to be eaten. It will be a bowl of porridge.
There is a kettle in the cabin. In a moment, two bowls of porridge are ready to soak, and a plate of red oil pickled cabbage is also served.
The fragrance of rice and red oil immediately filled the room.
Chen Jue sniffed hard and couldn't wait to pick up the bowl.
Although there is only one porridge and one auxiliary dish, it seems very simple, but the rice porridge has a aroma of oil and salt, and the red pickled cabbage is appetizing, which is much better than the boat dishes that are not popular on the table next to it.
Shen Rui ate the food on the boat for three days. Although he didn't complain, he was full of appetite. He drank two bowls of porridge in one breath, and ate a plate of pickled vegetables with Chen Jue.
After eating, after rinsing, the clan brothers stared at each other and felt a little embarrassed.
The fried rice of this pickled cabbage seems simple and crude, but it is undeniable that it tastes really good. Not to mention that it only serves a regular meal, but it can be eaten daily, so life will be easier.
But since it is edible, there is no reason to eat alone.
"Brother Rui, how much fried rice and pickled vegetables are there?" Chen Jue asked.
Shen Rui said: "It's okay to pickle, and my third brother also has a jar of them. Even if everyone eats it, it's enough. I only got a few kilograms of fried rice at the beginning, but now it's left..." Speaking of this, I looked at Dong Xi.
Dongxi said: "Changshou and Liu Cheng both think this is fragrant. They have to soak two or three bowls every day after meals. In just three days, half of it has been eaten, and only half is left.
"How do you distinguish this?" Chen Jue frowned and said, "So many people, there are also my aunt and the cousin of the He family..."
Shen Rui thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "No need to divide it. Go to Brother Quan San and ask him to arrange someone to go to the kitchen to fry some. Isn't it possible to have it? But if you spend one time, you can get a few more rewards. It's better than having everyone get sick due to irregular diet."
The largest room in the middle is Xu, and the little lady of the He family lives on one side. The little lady of the He family lives next to the little lady of the He family lives with the maid next to Xu and the foster mother of the He family. .It’s not that they are particularly handsome, but there is a difference between men and women. In order to separate the He family’s young lady from the Shen family, the residences of He Taizhi and Chen Lin are next to each other.
On the other side of the Xu family cabin are Shen Rui and Chen Jue cabins, followed by Chen Qin and Chen Bao cabins, and on the edge are Chen Quan and Chen Zhu.
There is another corner called Xiaokai, which is divided into small animals by accompanying maids and mothers.
Shen Rui asked Dong Xi to fill half a bowl of fried rice and went to the full cabin with Chen Jue.
Just as the chopsticks were put down here, an old lady took the maid to remove the table.
Seeing the bowl in Shen Rui's hand, Chen Quan said curiously: "What is this?"
Chen Zhu also came over: "Jiao Rice? What should Brother Rui bring half a bowl of rice to make?"
Shen Rui asked the mother for hot water and demonstrated to the two of them what "convenient porridge" is.
Smelling the fragrance of rice in the room, Chen Quan and Chen Zhu both had their eyes lit up.
Both of them were spoiled and raised at home, so they were used to eating boat dishes. They were just the age of the people here, and the people around Xu were serving, so they were not picky about food and complaining.
Chen Zhu quickly handed over and took the porridge bowl first, took a sip under his nose, and said intoxicatedly: "The rice fragrance is everywhere, and even if it has not been in the mouth, it can be seen as a good product."
Chen Quan stared at Chen Zhu and grinded his teeth, snorted lightly, and looked at Shen Rui and said, "Brother Rui, how much more is there? I looked at Brother Qin. Brother Bao has not had an appetite these days, and Brother Bao has seen him thin. Now, Brother Qin is in a bad mood.”
Chen Zhu had already taken a sip and nodded, "It's good to have salt, it's a little lighter, and it's better to have side dishes with porridge."
As he talked here, he was not drinking porridge quickly.
Chen Quan looked at him sideways, his face was full of contempt, but his "gurgle" and "gurgle" sounds completely betrayed him.
Shen Rui was fine, but he only laughed in his heart, but Chen Jue couldn't help laughing loudly, and was stared at Chen Quan. Fang Xiao said, "The third brother is afraid he is hungry, so I'll take it for the third brother as well. A bowl." After saying that, he went out to pick it up with a smile.
Chen Quan sat down, looked at Shen Rui, and said helplessly: "I really can't put the chopsticks on it. I can only cleanse my hunger, just treat it as clearing my stomach and intestines. I thought that I could eat it even when I was hungry.
Chen Zhu ate half a bowl, but felt a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "I should just divide half of it for Brother San, fortunately there is still." He complained to Shen Rui again: "If you have this thing, Brother Rui didn't say you should take it early. Come out, we will be hungry in the past two days..."
