The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 320 Winter Solstice Dumpling Feast

When the children walked to the gate of the Nursing Home, they saw a tall carriage and guards wearing brocade robes with knives. Immediately, a little beggar who had seen Song Qingyue before asked, "Er Niang, is she the concubine of the world?" coming?"

Knowing that Song Qingyue is coming today, Xiaoying replied with a smile: "Yes, the empress is here today, but she is no longer the concubine, and now she is called the empress princess!"

"My lord? Will my lord bring me candied haws to eat?" the child asked with a pair of innocent eyes blinking.

Xiaoying held her hand and laughed: "Then you won't know until you go in."

In the cafeteria, Liu Da came in with a big bucket of kneaded noodles.I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and he has grown taller again!The muscles on the exposed little arms are very pleasing to the eye, what a big boy!

He's also handsome, and he's a handsome guy!

Song Qingyue looked at Liu Da with bright eyes, and her face was flushed red.

Hey, this little brother is still shy!
Song Qingyue lowered her eyes, that's all, it's just pretty, if you want to talk about the beauty of the prosperous age, it has to be the 19-year-old Li Zhao.

But now Li Zhao has begun to develop in the direction of a rough guy. Thinking of the appearance of her former fairy father, Song Qingyue worriedly thought, Li Zhao will not become a bald and fat uncle in the future, right?

Then I really can't live on!

She suddenly asked: "Liu Da, do you want to be an official in the future?"

Liu Day was taken aback, shook his head after thinking for a while, and said, "I, I just want to stay here and work. I want to take good care of my brothers and sisters!"

Song Qingyue held her chin and thought for a while, then asked, "Would you like to take care of younger brothers and sisters in other places?"

Liu Da was taken aback, not understanding what Song Qingyue meant.

Song Qingyue simply opened the skylight and said bluntly: "I plan to open another nursing home in Tianjin next year. I don't know who to send to do it. Liu Da, are you willing to go to Tianjin?"

Chang Huiying looked at Liu Da with a look of surprise, and saw that he didn't know what was wrong, and said with a smile: "Liu Da, the princess thinks highly of you! Say thank you for your help!"

"Thank you, Madam, for supporting me!" Liu Da repeated after Chang Huiying a little awkwardly.

Song Qingyue giggled: "Then you have to know all the characters first, and you must also be able to count! Otherwise, you are not qualified! How is Liu Dashu?"

"It's okay, but it's not good." Chang Huiying said with a little disgust.

Liu Da felt aggrieved, he pursed his lips, and said unconvinced: "I, I will work hard!"

Song Qingyue laughed out loud at the side, and when Liu Da blushed and ran out, Song Qingyue blinked suddenly, then looked at Chang Huiying again, thinking, that kid Liu Da doesn't have any thoughts about Miss Chang, does he?

Nanny Bai helped Song Qingyue drag the cloak and tied up the sleeves.

Song Qingyue began to divide the dough.

"Did Liu grow up?"

"15 years old." Chang Huiying answered while helping.

"Well——" Song Qingyue murmured thoughtfully, "Wow, the age when you first fell in love!"

"Tsk! What are you talking about!" Chang Huiying was speechless, "He's still young, so read the book first before thinking about anything else!"

Suddenly, a little girl's voice from Qingyue rang out from outside the house: "The princess is here! The concubine is here!" At this moment, a small figure suddenly rushed into the room.

Song Qingyue took a closer look, she knew him!One of the little beggars who used to beg in the capital, Huang Mao, is now called Zhang Jinsi.

"Jinsi, run slowly! Wash your hands first! Have you forgotten the hygiene class that Mr. taught in school?"

Xiaoying ran in after shouting, and smiled when she saw Song Qingyue announcing her happiness, and said, "Princess Wangfei! Xiaoying is so polite!"

"Okay! Don't be too polite!" Song Qingyue smiled and nodded at her with flour on her hands.

Xiaoying lowered her head and hurriedly said to Jinsi: "Jinsi, be polite and tell the princess: Wangfei is safe!"

"Wan An, Princess Wang!" Jin Si greeted loudly.

"Okay, go wash your hands!" Xiaoying urged again.

But Jin Si looked at Song Qingyue unwilling to move, and kept looking around in the room for a long time.

"What is she looking for?" Song Qingyue was curious.

"Damn!" Xiaoying sighed, "Didn't you bring a lot of candies and candied haws to elementary school in February? This girl has been reading. Looking for candied haws!"

Song Qingyue laughed and said: "Jinsi, be obedient, wash your hands first, after washing your hands, you can only eat candies and candied haws after eating!"

When Jin Si heard that it was true, her eyes lit up, she nodded, and immediately ran out to wash her hands.

Song Qingyue shook her head with a smile, and hurriedly turned around to ask Zeng Maozhi to send a brother back to the palace to get some canned fruit and white sugar: "After dinner, let's take the children to make candied haws!"

Webster didn't know how to knead noodles or make dumplings. Seeing that Song Qingyue tied up her sleeves and started making dumplings by herself, she felt embarrassed and ashamed.

During the two months she was here, she never went to the kitchen once. On weekdays, her room was also cleaned by the original maid.It's still the life of your lady!

But look at the princess, who said she rolled up her sleeves to make dumplings, so she rolled up her sleeves and made dumplings!

It's really impressive.

She just sat there, not knowing what to do.

Her nanny saw that her girl was so helpless, she asked a little maid to help her tie up her sleeves, and said with a smile: "My lord, this old slave is Mrs. Wei's nanny, and the old slave is also good at craftsmanship, you might as well let the old slave Come to help too?"

"Okay! Let's roll the skin first, roll some more skin, and ask the children to make a bag later." Song Qingyue said enthusiastically.

"It is to teach the children to learn how to make dumplings. How can the concubine know how to make dumplings? There are not many nobles like you!" Wei Shi's nanny tried her best to please Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue said with a little pride: "Then why not? Not only I can, but our prince can too."

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone in the room opened their mouths in surprise.

"He also made dumplings for..." Song Qingyue originally wanted to show off that Li Zhao made dumplings for herself, but she remembered the old censors in the court. What should the prince do?So the conversation was twisted in the stomach and changed to: "Your Highness made dumplings for His Majesty the Emperor himself."

"Hey! Your Highness is really filial!" Webster's nanny continued to compliment.

Song Qingyue hummed twice: "That's right, His Highness is filial!"

Soon, the children who had washed their hands lined up and came in, and each time they came in, they said loudly to Song Qingyue: "Wan An, Wang Fei!"

When they all came in, Song Qingyue said with a smile: "They are all polite and good children. Today is the winter solstice, do you know what to eat during the winter solstice?"

"Tangyuan!" A little boy exclaimed excitedly.

Song Qingyue: ...

Can we cooperate?
The little girl beside him tugged at his sleeve speechlessly, saying, "It's Dumpling idiot!"

"No, it's glutinous rice balls!"

"It's dumplings!"

"It's obviously glutinous rice balls! My mother used to make glutinous rice balls with sesame seeds and sweet-scented osmanthus for me!"

The two children chattered.

Song Qingyue glanced at Nanny Bai: "Mammy, arrange the glutinous rice balls too."

Bai Momo smiled helplessly, nodded and left.

Song Qingyue said loudly: "Okay! Some places eat dumplings, and some places eat glutinous rice balls. Don't make noise!"

She suddenly looked at the little boy and asked, "Where is your mother from?"

"Hui...Who is Huai..." The little boy tilted his head and said unclearly.

Song Qingyue was silent, and asked with a frown, "Then she married to the north?"

The little boy shook his head: "My mother is still at home."

"Then how did you become a little beggar?"

The little boy tilted his head again, thought for a while, and shook his head: "The year before last, during the Lantern Festival, an uncle gave me candy and said he would take me to eat more candy, and then... um... I don't know..."

He lowered his head and muttered vaguely, Song Qingyue was surprised for a moment, and looked at Feng Qi.

Could this child be kidnapped?
But since he was abducted, why did he become a beggar on the street again?
Song Qingyue thought, let Zeng Maozhi find a way to ask for clarification, and then smiled at the little boy: "Would you like to eat glutinous rice balls for dinner later?"

The little boy nodded obediently and smiled slightly.

"Okay, you've washed your hands, haven't you?" Song Qingyue asked loudly.

"It's been washed!" The children replied in unison.

"Was it washed with soap?" Song Qingyue asked again.

"Yes!"

"Washed with soap!"

"It's delicious!"

The children raised their little hands one after another, talking in a hurry.

"Then let's start learning how to make dumplings, shall we?"

"it is good!"

The concubine and the children happily made dumplings together, while Li Qiushui sat aside and didn't speak. Looking at Song Qingyue's appearance, she felt that she was also very happy.

But she is not very good at making dumplings, she suddenly asked: "Princess, can I learn as a concubine?"

"Ah, Qiushui can't do it?"

"No way!"

"Then wash your hands first, and come over and pack them together!"

"it is good!"

Qiu Shui had the brightest smile Song Qingyue had ever seen on her face.

Webster also wanted to learn, hesitated for a long time, and said, "I'm going to wash my hands too! I want to learn too!"

"Come on, come on, enough skin!"

Next, the cook Song Qingyue brought from the palace brought up the five pots of prepared meat stuffing.

"Fatty! Flesh!"

"A lot of meat!"

Children cheer!
"Okay, let's start now! Wait for the aunt, the second mother, the third mother, and the fourth mother to give you face!"

Next, is the noisy hands-on link.Song Qingyue taught while walking, and helped the children shape the messy dumplings.

"Hey, this bag is so good! It looks like a little rabbit!" Song Qingyue praised while pointing at a lump of dough.

The little baby beside her still had a face of flour, and when she heard someone complimenting her, she burst into laughter.

At this time, a little girl shouted: "No, no! Hey! It's the right way to fold it in half and pinch it! What are you!"

Song Qingyue looked up, and saw that the little boy on the opposite side was rolling a ball that had become a mixture of flour and meat.The little girl on the side is correcting the little boy who is still rolling the ball.

Song Qingyue laughed, and said, "That's not bad, it's a little bun!"

The little girl was a little unhappy: "That's not good! This is the right way!" She carefully picked up the dumpling in her hand, showed it to Song Qingyue, and looked at Song Qingyue pitifully and expectantly.

Song Qingyue immediately boasted: "Ah! That's amazing! This one is wrapped just like your aunt's! Have you ever wrapped it before?"

The little girl nodded shyly: "I helped Big Brother Liu!"

"Ah, it's really capable, it's great!!"

The little girl covered her mouth and laughed, and wiped the flour all over her face.

……

After spending two cups of tea, one person made five dumplings.

Song Qingyue asked people to set up five pots in the yard to cook the dumplings they made themselves.

"this is mine!"

"this is mine!"

The children squatted next to the pot with small bowls and chattered, picking out what they pinched and eating.

Wei Shi pinched the stuffing so much that Song Qingyue picked out the dumpling and put it into a bowl for her to eat by herself.

"Then, you made it, you eat it yourself!"

Wei Shi took it with some embarrassment, while eating the dumpling with missing stuffing, she felt that it was better than any dumpling she had eaten before!

After being tired for almost half an hour, Song Qingyue finally sat down to rest.

The cook brought Song Qingyue specially made tofu dumplings with vegetarian stuffing.

Li Qiushui was eating his dumplings with exposed fillings, and when he saw the vegetarian dumplings in Song Qingyue's bowl, he immediately understood that the princess was indeed pregnant.

That's great!

She looked down and laughed.

Song Qingyue looked at her sideways, and asked amusedly, "Why are you laughing all of a sudden?"

Li Qiushui was still smiling, she shook her head, and said in a low voice: "Just now I saw Your Majesty getting along with the children, I feel that Your Majesty will be a good mother in the future."

Hearing this, Song Qingyue slightly raised her eyebrows, looked at the vegetarian dumplings in the bowl, and thought that Li Qiushui is really smart!
She suddenly asked, "Qiu Shui, do you want to work here?"

"here?"

"The backyard of the palace, isn't it boring?"

Li Qiushui lowered his head and thought for a while before slowly answering: "Actually, anywhere is good, as long as it can help the princess. Qiushui can do anything."

"By the way, have you read all the words?"

"Hmm - Simplified characters are okay, but I can only recognize traditional characters, and I'm not very good at writing."

"It doesn't matter! That's enough, what counts?"

"I can only do some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but I used to do it when I was in a restaurant." Li Qiushui laughed.

"Can linear equations in two variables be solved?"

"Yes!" Li Qiushui nodded, "Mianhua and Xiaozao just taught me how to be a concubine not long ago!"

Snapped!
Song Qingyue clapped her hands: "Enough! Enough! Go to Tianjin, do you want to?"

Li Qiushui was taken aback for a moment, she seemed a little frightened, but then she smiled softly, lowered her eyes and said: "As long as the concubine can use me, I am willing to go anywhere."

Song Qingyue thought for a while: "At that time, I will arrange a new identity for you, and arrange two more guards, and Liu Da, four people are enough. When there are more children, I will hire someone at that time. Anyway, slowly Do it, don't worry."

Li Qiushui nodded, with a hint of loneliness in his drooping eyes.

In fact, she wanted to stay in the capital and by Song Qingyue's side.Being by Song Qingyue's side made her feel safe.

Song Qingyue looked at Li Qiushui's expression, frowned slightly, and asked, "Qiushui?"

"Is it because you don't want to? It doesn't matter if you don't want to, just say it, and I'll find someone else."

"No! No!" Li Qiushui hurriedly took Song Qingyue's hand, "My concubine concubine gave me this opportunity, I am very grateful! It's just that I feel a little bit reluctant to leave my empress in the future."

"There's nothing to be reluctant about! Now that the concrete road has been built, you can get there in a day. I will visit you often! Don't worry!"

Facing the princess's sweet smile, Li Qiushui only felt a little melancholy.

The princess is so busy, so she doesn't often visit herself.

Eh……

She sighed silently in her heart.

But if I can get out of the palace, walk around freely, and get along with cute children like today, thinking about such a life, I suddenly start to yearn for it!
On the other side, the Song Mansion.

The whole family ate dumplings happily, only Xiaoba Song Chenhui shut himself in the room and was sulking.

The old man threatened that he would not get a penny of the family property in the future if he ate the child who was waiting to die. He also said that if he dared to hand in a blank paper with the third sister in the future, he would be removed from the family tree!

Little Bayi got angry and didn't attend the winter solstice family banquet.

Shut himself in the house, saying that he would not go to the third sister's place even if he was starving to death.

Mrs. Liang and Mr. Song didn't care about him, they just ordered not to send him food.

Since the nanny who doted on the eighth son was mercilessly kicked out by Mr. Song, no one in the family dared to disobey Mr. Song's words, and they were used to the bad temper of the eighth son.

It's all right now, Song Chenhui's stomach is growling with hunger and no one gives him food.

He angrily threw things in the room.

After a night of fuss, he was so hungry that he was dizzy, neither Mrs. Liang nor Mr. Song came to comfort him or bring him food.

Xiao Ba was hungry and angry, squatting on the bedside and crying loudly.

Early the next morning, he honestly went to pay his respects to his mother and planned to have a big meal, but just as he was about to start eating, he was mercilessly slapped on the back of his hand by his mother with a ruler.

The back of his hand suddenly ached.

He withdrew his hand, a pair of beautiful big eyes like Mr. Song Ge's were filled with tears, the corners of his mouth turned down and deformed, his fair little face was flushed with anger, his chest heaved up and down, and he stared at the old man. A ruler beats his own mother.

Mrs. Liang said bluntly: "Didn't you say that you won't go to your third sister's place if you die of starvation? Now that you've figured it out, you're going?"

"No!" Song Chenhui shouted stubbornly.

"Then don't eat. Get out." Liang said mercilessly.

"mother!"

"Don't call me mother! Your father said that if you want to eat and die, you should get out of the Song family!"

"Wow!"

Song Chenhui raised his head and opened his mouth and began to cry loudly.

Song Xiaoliu and Song Xiaoqi who came to greet Mrs. Liang stood outside the door helplessly, neither advancing nor retreating.

The fourth son, Song Chenrui, came in swaggeringly. After greeting Mrs. Liang, he planned to have breakfast, but he only heard pa!

He was also beaten by Mrs. Liang with a ruler!

"mother!"

"What do you eat? How can you eat with peace of mind after teaching your brother to be like this?"

"I……"

"Also, the things that Xiao Ba smashed in the room yesterday totaled 530 seven taels and eight cents, so hurry up and pay for him."

"Mom! Tell me some reason, okay? Little Ba smashed it, why should I pay for it?"

Mrs. Liang snorted, and looked at Song Chenhui: "Look, your fourth brother doesn't want to pay for you. In this way, it will be counted in your monthly allowance. Your monthly allowance is 20 taels, minus the change, and you will be counted as 500 taels." , that is, the monthly case for 25 months. Don’t come to me for money in the next 25 months!”

Song Chenhui originally planned to take the pocket money he saved to go to the street to buy some food. When Liang said this, he even forgot to cry, and was dumbfounded.

Liang ignored him after explaining, and shouted at the door: "Chen Xing, Chen Yu, come in quickly! Leave your eighth brother alone!"

The two looked at each other, shrugged and came in to greet Mrs. Liang, and then Song Qianqian pulled Song Baojuan to greet Mrs. Liang as well.

The children sat down to have breakfast with their aunts, while the aunts each had their own in their own rooms, and they came to pay Mrs. Liang a greeting on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.

The whole family is in order, except for one Song Chenhui who keeps crying.
