green bamboo dream

The winter in the capital is extremely cold. In December, the wind is bitter and icy, and even the breath is white.It was cloudy for several days in a row, and the gloomy weather was like a dense thick net, with no head or face covering it, and the people who were blocked were extremely depressed.

"Looks like it's going to snow today."

Ruan's mother shrank her neck and entered the room, she shivered twice before recovering from it. People are especially prone to chills when they are old.

Yu Zhu was playing with a few unattractive pears. At this time of year, pears were extremely expensive, and the pears presented were all preserved by special methods, and ordinary people couldn't afford them.

"It's fine if it's snowing, otherwise it'll be uncomfortable if it's always overcast." Yu Zhu put down the pears in her hand with a smile, took out two and put them on the table, pointed to the plate, and ordered: "Take them down and peel them." .”

Hua Ruo didn't move after hearing this, and looked at a maid following behind with encouragement.

The servant girl was wearing a honey-coloured long jacket with pinched flowers, with beautiful features and a serious face. Seeing Hua Ruo looking at her, she hurried down with a plate full of pears.

Hua Ruo hurriedly blessed the body, and followed him to the ear room.

"Look, the master is the master, and the apprentice is the apprentice, it really seems to be the same thing." Ruan's mother looked at the direction where the two disappeared, and smiled, "Yu Bian still looks very capable, just Young, always doing something with a straight face."

Recently, a few second-class maidservants have been brought up, and Hua Ruo and the others will take them by their side to teach them slowly. The master's habits and preferences are trivial and weird. To know it well, or even to memorize it thoroughly, is not something that can be done in a short while. It can be done.

If you want to be able to stand up to them immediately after they get married, you can't do it without learning in advance.

Yu Zhu stretched out her hand to support her chin, Yu Yingying's face was stained with melancholy, "No matter how well you do it, you won't be able to get used to it at first."

After following her for so many years...

"...What is Madam going to do today?" Ruan's mother didn't believe that Yuzhu wanted to eat pears. She looked at the steamer, silver pot, black pottery pot, small stove, and small porcelain filled with powder. Disc, doubted aloud.

"Mother Ruan, just watch." Seeing that Yu Bian had come in with a plate, Yu Zhu stopped talking mysteriously.

The peeled pears are white and raw, placed on a dark ice-cracked lotus petal wrapped in silk, like a delicate snowball.Yuzhu looked at it and nodded in satisfaction, the material is qualified

Except for the two left, the rest took the pulp, finely ground it into juice, and served it in a black-glazed water cloud-patterned partridge bowl of Ji Kiln. The fresh fruit fragrance overflowed and refreshed the heart.Then pour one or two agarwood powder from a round dish, soak in the pear juice and mix well, pour them all into the silver pot in the steamer, and finally pour water into the pottery pot, and steam over water.

"Ma'am, how long will it take to steam?" Ruan's mother also knew that Yuzhu was going to try to make incense by herself at this moment. Did you figure it out by yourself or did you follow the recipe?"

If you think about it yourself, it will probably be out of shape.

Yuzhu's eyes were fixed on the fire without blinking, Gu Kong replied: "I read an incense book before, the materials are easy to find, and the steps are not difficult. I can make it after thinking about it."

Suddenly, his face was happy, and he forcefully removed the clay pot from the fire. The pear juice was almost dry, and the color was an ugly yellow-gray.Yu Zhu looked at it, and was suddenly a little puzzled, the book didn't seem to say so.

Forget it, it's half done, so it's not good to give up halfway.

He stretched out his hand and pinched a pinch of sandalwood powder from the plate, mixed it in, and made it into an immobile liquid. Steam.

After tossing a cup of tea, the pears were steamed thoroughly. The skin of the pears was peeled off, and the flesh of the pears, together with the fragrant powder in it, was ground and blended evenly, and then the servant girl took them down and smoked them.

After shaking his sore arm, Yu Zhu couldn't help smiling, and finally he was done.

"After the fumigation is finished, we will split half of it. Keep half of it in the house for your own use, and wrap the other half in paper. Well... don't be too shabby, and find another intricately carved huanghuali box to put it in, and ask Cai Baokang's family to give it to you." I went on an errand and sent it to the grandma of the Tan family. I said I made it myself, and asked her to taste it. If she is used to smelling flower dew and rose water, try my pear fragrance..."

After a pause, she said again: "If there is anything to say, let her remember it clearly."

Hua Ruo agreed to bend his knees and went out.

Yu Zhu sighed softly, Ruqing is true, no news has been heard in such a long time, which makes people worry.

"Ma'am, the second young master is here."

The little maid drew up the curtain at the door, and then the nurse Zheng came in with a tightly wrapped baby in her arms.

Yu Zhu took the child with a smile, looked at his bright black eyes, and teased him: "Now I wake up refreshed."

Then he untied the small quilt outside, put Brother Xi on the bed, loosened his hands and feet, and soon the fat and white doll started dancing.

Yu Zhu thought for a while, then turned Brother Xi over with a smirk.He was already wearing a lot of clothes, and his hands and feet were not flexible when he was lying on his stomach. Poor Brother Xi was like a clumsy little turtle still learning to walk, very happy.

"Ha——" Yu Zhu couldn't help hugging her belly and laughing. Ruan's mother heard the movement and looked over, shaking her head helplessly, but didn't say much. A child of this age should have more pampering, which is good for his body a lot of.

Brother Xi heard his mother's laughter, as if he knew he was being laughed at, he swiped harder with his hands and feet, but he still couldn't turn over.That cute and pitiful appearance made some unscrupulous mother laugh again.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Xunxun came in from the outside, and he heard Yuzhu's brisk and joyful laughter from afar, and his voice was also filled with laughter.

But after seeing this scene in the room, he couldn't laugh anymore.

He stretched out his hand and easily picked up his son, looking at him carefully.

The little man still had tears in his eyes, clear and clear, full of grievances, lying on his father's shoulders, looking very dependent.

Cheng Xunxun looked at brother Xi's white jade-like hands, which had already tightly held his neckline at some point, and his eyes softened.

"Nonsense." He scolded Yuzhu, "You still look like a child, not much younger than Xi'er."

Brother Xi also turned his head in cooperation, staring at Yuzhu with dark eyes, not knowing whether to accuse or show innocence.

Yu Zhu lowered her head depressed, and while Cheng Xunxun was not paying attention, she made a face at the little guy, little thing, so young, he will find a backer

Hey, I will slowly teach you how to be filial to your mother after waiting for your old mother...

Dad works hard, so we don't have to bother him.

Brother Xi just smiled and narrowed his eyes, his small, round, white and tender bun face wrinkled into a ball.

Hearing the clear voice of his son in his arms, Cheng Xunxun saw Yuzhu grinning with a wrong eye, and couldn't help sighing.

"Second Master, don't you have grandchildren?" Yu Zhu muttered.

The voice was too low, Cheng Xunxun didn't hear it.He hugged his son on his lap, supported his back firmly with his hands, and asked suddenly: "Do you have any new clues about Zhang Daopo you were looking for?"

It's not a big deal, but it's not easy to find someone with just a few words.

"Oh, no, I just sent people there, what do you say after seeing it." Yu Zhu patted his forehead angrily, shook his head to tease Brother Xi, "Do your best."

"Okay, let me know if you have any news, I'm afraid I'll forget it." Cheng Xunxun patted Brother Xi's head wearing a small hat solemnly, and said lightly.

Yu Zhu gave him a sideways glance. Why are those words so weird? It's rare to use power for personal gain...

Cheng Xunxun lowered his head and pulled out the little fist that brother Xi wanted to put in his mouth, with a smile on his face.

The little wife seldom asks him to help, and it's interesting to show it once in a while. She didn't realize it, she felt calm, but she was actually at a loss. When she mentioned it once, she was walking back from Chunxi Residence, and she actually had the same hands and feet. It's been a long way...

"Second master, madam, miss Qiuwen, please see me." The little maid outside raised her voice, and her voice was clear and loud.

Yuzhu listened to it, and secretly praised it, it was like stir-fried beans, crunchy and crunchy.

"Let her in." Suppressing her fluttering mood, Yu Zhu straightened her slightly messy clothes and bun, and said loudly.

After a while, Qiu Wen was brought in.

——So excited, so excited, I finally saw Second Master again...

Seeing Qiu Wen's shining eyes, Yu Zhu couldn't help filling in her thoughts in her heart, um, maybe I should add another sentence: Erye, it's cold, can you add clothes on time; If you have enough, you must not rely on your body to be strong and wear thin quilts; you have enough winter clothes, do you want me to make a few more for you... In fact, I have already secretly made a few clothes and hid them on the bed. Go and dress casually...

Thinking about it, I felt a chill, so I quickly stopped the thought, and calmly stroked the cold hair on my arm, which was standing upright, and said kindly: "It's so cold, you don't even wear a cloak when you go out, it's freezing cold." What should I do? Let the small kitchen make a bowl of ginger soup for you later, drink it hot, and go to the cold."

Autumn pattern mushroom is cool, you need to know how to take care of it. If you freeze, I will feel sorry for your mistress.

"Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie." Qiuwen blessed her body again and again, her eyes almost never stuck to Cheng Xunxun's body, but fortunately she didn't lose her mind, and she quickly pulled it back with difficulty.

"This is the second young master." Qiu Wen's eyes fell on Cheng Xunxun's knee who was trying to put his fist into his mouth, and said with a smile: "I thought I saw the little fairy boy next to the Bodhisattva in a trance. It all came out from Yintang."

Cheng Xunxun lovingly pulled brother Xi's fist that was about to succeed again, and asked the wet nurse to hold the child down.

Brother Xi, however, held onto Cheng Xunxun's neckline tightly, yelling "Ahhh" with a young and tenacious voice.

No matter how strong the baby is, no matter how tightly it is held, it can still break free with a light pull, but Cheng Xunxun stopped the nanny from moving forward with his eyes, lowered his head and patiently coaxed Brother Xi to let go.

Brother Xi couldn't understand, he thought he was playing with him, and smiled at Cheng Xunxun with his toothless mouth.After sawing for a long time, he finally felt drowsy, so he obediently let go, and fell asleep with his mouth open.

The nurse hurriedly wrapped Brother Xi again, hugged the child and retreated.

Qiuwen's nostalgic eyes caressed Cheng Xunxun's smiling eyebrows, and his heart was sour. The second master really hurt the young master to the bone, and he couldn't bear to pull it.

But after the bitterness passed, she smiled again.

"The servant wants to ask the wife for a favor."

Yu Zhu drank tea with a smile, her smile was dignified and decent, and her posture was elegant and generous, but her heart was howling: "It's tiring to keep the posture, you should talk quickly."

Qiu Wen took a careful look at Cheng Xunxun, and said in a murmur, "I beg the master to find a good doctor for the eldest brother of the servant, and the servant... be a cow and a horse to repay the wife's great kindness."

Cheng Xunxun thought of the unbearable look of Shanchang in the boy's mouth, and couldn't help frowning, and lightly tapped the huanghuali single-plate moiré tooth head with his index finger.

Qiu Wen had long been familiar with Cheng Xunxun's habitual expression, seeing this he hurriedly said: "My brother was seduced by an adulterer and made a big mistake, and this servant is also angry, but...but...but this servant entered the house to serve the master when he was young, and both parents at home Being taken care of by my elder brother, I have done a lot of filial piety for my servant for so many years, my servant really can't watch him pass away like this."

Her tears fell, and her nose gradually turned red, "Nephew and niece are still young, it's a pity that they will lose their father in the future..."

Cheng Xunxun's expression softened a little, and the movements of his hands stopped.

Qiuwen peeked at it, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Yu Zhu looked on coldly, feeling quite bored, as expected, she was using her childhood affection to talk about the matter.There is nothing wrong with Qiu Wen's nature, and people are not very clever, but the care of the child is a bit tricky--Cheng Xunxun's childhood is different from ordinary people, he treats him badly and treats him well, there is a clear distinction, and his attitude is completely different... Besides , Qiuwen also protected him from disaster, it would be bad if Cheng Xunxun was forced to give him a child.

"You go back, the doctor will go tomorrow." Cheng Xunxun promised.

Ruan's mother seemed to think of something suddenly, and hesitated: "Miss Qiuwen, do you only want to see your brother?"

Qiuwen didn't understand all of a sudden, Mama Ruan opened her mouth, and her expression became a bit strange: "The servant girl seems to have followed your brother's wife and concubine, why don't you... treat him together?"

"This..." Qiuwen's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly said, "I don't know, go back and ask..." At the end of the sentence, the voice was already weak and weak.

I couldn't help but glanced at Cheng Xunxun's face again, but he couldn't see the clue coldly, so I could only endure my disappointment and retreated.

"Take care of it." Cheng Xunxun turned his head to look at Yu Zhu after Qiu Wen went out, and the mist in his eyes drifted away.

After all, it was caught by Qiu Wen and remembered some things from her childhood. Yuzhu sighed softly in her heart, and then smiled again: "Don't worry, I don't need a housekeeper. I usually have nothing to do except look after the children. Settling the family is not a trivial matter. One."

She still said the same thing, as long as Qiuwen sees the situation clearly and lives a good life, then it's easy to say anything.I am not the kind of person who is sweet and bitter, so I will never treat her badly.
