Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 8

The Xiao family is weird.

The little brother who was thought to be well-educated, gentle and amiable is also eccentric.

Su Jiu squatted by the pond in the garden behind the small courtyard, struggling to catch the small leaves on the surface of the water, while muttering in his heart.

She shook her little head, restrained her mind and continued to fish for the small leaves.

Now it is the time when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. There are many water shields growing in the pond. The small round shoots are covered with a layer of natural transparent gelatin, which reflects the shallow light of the spring water and looks fresh and lovely.

She quickly picked up a small bowl and put it in a small bamboo basket.

In the small bamboo basket are the small bamboo shoots she dug up and the Malan heads she picked out.

The little brother saved her after all, he couldn't eat that table of food, but it's noon, he couldn't make him starve.

She wanted to get him something delicious.

The small kitchen in the courtyard hadn't been used for a long time, and the pots and stoves were covered with dust. Su Jiu worked diligently and cleaned it up quickly.

The pots, pans and pans moved together, and within half an hour, she re-made three dishes and one soup, put them in a food box, and happily sent them to Xiao Tingchen.

At this time, Xiao Tingchen was lazily sitting on the Luohan bed by the window, playing with two black carved walnuts.

Guy Yu came in from outside the house and reported respectfully: "Master, the girl you brought into the mansion is messing around in the back garden... Do you think she will be bought by the madam, and then betray you like Miss Zi?" ?”

Last autumn's boudoir exam, their master passed the exam, and this spring he was going to Beijing to take the exam.

But the wife is so vicious that she let Zi Wan, the maid who serves the master, poison the food, causing the master to be seriously ill and miss the spring boudoir.

Now that purple girl has become a celebrity beside the wife, and it is said that she is about to be disgraced and given to the son-in-law as a concubine. It can be said that a sparrow has turned into a phoenix.

The more Gu Yu thought about it, the more angry he became, filled with righteous indignation: "Master, if that little girl even dares to betray you, I will tear her up and feed her to the dogs! Anyway, we have done it several times to feed living people to dogs!"

Just as he was talking, the sound of clogs came from outside.

Gu Yu backed out with a dark face.

Su Jiu came in with a food box and said joyfully, "Little brother, you haven't eaten yet, I've made some dishes for you."

She opened the food box and brought out a plate of fresh, fat and green side dishes, "This is the tender Malan head I picked in the small garden. Sesame oil, very fresh."

She brought out another plate of diced pork with spring bamboo shoots, "I saw that the dishes sent by the two sisters contained diced meat, so I dug some spring bamboo shoots and fried them together. Brother, I don't want greasy food, just eat some fresh bamboo shoots. "

She joyfully took out the last soup, "Soup with water shield, meatballs and spring bamboo shoots!"

The soup is served in a large white porcelain bowl. The water shield is slender and dark green, the meatballs are exquisite and clear, and the bamboo shoots are bright green. The color of the soup is extremely delicious.

Xiao Tingchen raised his eyebrows, became interested in the water shield, picked up the bamboo chopsticks, and tasted some.

The water shield is creamy and slightly elastic in the mouth. After careful tasting, you can slowly feel the slightly sweet fragrance that gradually diffuses between the lips and teeth.

This is the taste of spring.

"Dongpo Layman has a saying, 'If you ask about three Wu's victories, you can't just look at the water shield soup from thousands of miles away'." Xiao Tingchen smiled, "Today, I was also lucky to taste the tenderness of this water shield under the hands of my sister."

"'Who cares about the old mountain and returns to the dream, the water shield soup from thousands of miles away'..." Su Jiu tilted his little head, with deep dimples, "I see that there are still many young water shields in the pond. Waiting for tomorrow, I will give it to my little one." My brother makes a good water shield soup. In a few days, the leaves will get old and I won’t be able to eat them.”

The spring sun is just right, spilling in through the window lattice, and the room is filled with the fragrance of cypresses.

Xiao Tingchen laughed while cross-checking, "My sister is very knowledgeable."

The little girl who came out of the deep mountains actually understood Xin You'an.

rare.

Su Jiu smiled shyly, "My little brother is willing to let me study in your library, so I won't waste my time cooking this water shield."

She has already turned the small courtyard around.

The main house is the little brother's living room, the left side room is where Liu's mother and maids live, and the right side room is the bedroom of the boys.

In the corner of the back garden is an abandoned small kitchen.

A pond away from the small kitchen is the little brother's library.

Xiao Tingchen smiled, "If you can answer a line of your poem, I will let you use the small library."

"Little brother, but it's okay to say!"

"'Who pities the old mountain and returns to the dream, the water shield soup from thousands of miles away', what is the last sentence of this poem?"

Su Jiu raised his small head, and said crisply: "I'm worried about leaving the cup. After sending you back, write down the tea scriptures and cook Xiangxue!"

Xiao Tingchen made a "tsk" sound, and threw a small thing casually.

Su Jiu quickly caught it.

Her eyes lit up, "This is... the key to the small library?"

"After lunch, I'm going to the library to read. Remember to make a pot of good tea."

"Yes!"

The little girl smiled and bent her eyebrows, and left happily.

……

The book pavilion built near the water in the back garden is an exquisite two-story wooden building.

On both sides of the small building are inlaid couplets of rosewood, one side is engraved with "everything in the world follows the flowing water", and the other side is engraved with "a dream comes to life".

It's quite a sign that some worldly experts are indifferent to fame and fortune.

Su Jiu took the key to open the fan, and saw that although there were many ancient books inside, they were all piled up in a mess. It was obvious that the owner was a very disorganized and impatient person.

She turned around and went up to the second floor.

There are still piles of ancient books on the second floor, and Xiao Tingchen's books are scattered in the middle without any order.

Seeing that the book case was messy, she patiently tidied up the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, scrolls, calligraphy and paintings on it.

She always remembered that Xiao Tingchen asked her to make tea, and when she was looking for a tea set, she found a set of dusty incense making utensils in the corner of the second floor.
