Linglong

Chapter 11

Linglong thought about it carefully, the more she thought about it, the more this happened.Originally, Qiao Sirou and Yan Yunqing's past events must have been known to Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Qiao, and Mrs. Guan before, but now she told them in detail from beginning to end, obviously because she was afraid of eavesdropping What people do not understand.It is both narrating and reasoning. The narration is clear and the reasoning is clear. Mrs. Yu really took great pains in this article.

"Parents who dote on children, elder brothers who dote on younger sisters, uncles who are kind-hearted, grandfathers who are somewhat childish as archaeologists, and now we have a grandmother who pays attention to boudoir education." Linglong couldn't help feeling proud.

Lucky little girl Linglong.

Linglong was happy in her heart, she winked at Jingjia and Jingxi with a smile on her face, the two understood, and tiptoed out with Linglong.

Since it is eavesdropping, there must be an eavesdropping appearance.Speaking of going to see the crab claw orchid, you have to take a look at it.

The colors of the crab claw orchids are bright red, pink and pure white. The flowers are bright and lovely, and the flowers are delicate and graceful. After discussing with the three sisters, they asked the maid to hold a pot of one color, and carried three pots of flowers back to the hall.The three sisters came back with three potted flowers, and the room was filled with excitement and brilliance.

Old Madam Yu happily praised, "When the three girls come in, the whole room is lit up!"

She seldom boasted like that, but Guan, who has two daughters, said modestly after hearing this, "The old lady favors her granddaughter too much." She had a pleasant smile on her face, obviously proud of herself.Not to mention Qiao's, she looked at Linglong with gentle eyes, and felt that Linglong was really radiant and charming when she came in.

In fact, although Linglong is a beauty, but she is still young, how can she be so beautiful?However, Mrs. Qiao is a spoiled child. No matter how good her children are, no matter how exaggerated words are used to praise them, it is not enough.

Jingjia was a little surprised to receive such a compliment from the old lady, and was taken aback, "Is grandma saying that we are beautiful?" Jingxi felt obedient, went up to hold the old lady Yu's arm, and said with a coquettish smile: "Yes. Grandma's words brightened the hearts of our sisters!" She is indeed the most favored granddaughter in front of Mrs. Yu, with winks and puns, on the surface it sounds like she is flattering Mrs. Yu, but in fact she is Telling Mrs. Yu, "I understand, I understand, your painstaking efforts were not in vain." Mrs. Yu took her little hand and patted it, with a relieved expression, "Good boy."

Linglong and Mrs. Yu have never been very close, but they just listened to her class, so they have to express something, right?Then he said with a smile: "Speaking of being bright and not bright, I just remembered that my tenth birthday will be in a few days. I am so old, I should be more sensible, so I can be considered bright in my heart, right? Birthdays are when parents worry about their mothers." On difficult days, I should be the one who honors the elders, and I will take out the monthly money I have saved so hard to go to Liuweizhai to buy a few snacks that my grandmother loves, okay?"

Linglong was the child that Uncle Yu and Mrs. Qiao held in their hands, and Mrs. Yu didn't like her very much, so she didn't get close to Mrs. Yu either.Now Mrs. Yu heard Linglong say this, she was actually very reasonable, considerate and filial to her elders, she couldn't help laughing, "Since the third girl is so filial, grandma will not be polite. Grandma loves the coolness of his house the most." The mung bean cake with sand is soft, sweet and not greasy, and the sweet-scented osmanthus jujube paste yam cake has a sweet taste and is easy to digest.”

"Remember, mung bean cake with sand, sweet osmanthus flower, jujube paste and yam cake." Linglong nodded.

Linglong asked Qiao graciously again. Seeing that her daughter didn't need to do anything, she didn't need to worry about it. She only needed to use her private money to buy some snacks. How could she be unwilling?Then she smiled and said: "Anything is fine. Long'er, as long as you ordered someone to buy it, mother will think it is extremely delicious." Knowing that Liuweizhai's sauced beef is delicious, Linglong wanted to eat meat again, so she said it come out.

She has always been delicate and often a vegetarian. Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Guan felt strange when they heard that she asked for this.

Linglong asked Guan Shi again, Guan Shi smiled and said, "My good boy, my aunt is very happy that you have such a heart." She casually mentioned goat milk raw meat buns and wolfberry horseshoe cake.

Linglong wanted to give gifts to Mrs. Yu, Qiao Shi, and Guan Shi, but she stretched out her little hand to Jing Jia and Jing Xi, and said rascally: "The two sisters are not elders, please give me a birthday present." Everyone saw her mischievous , all smiling.

Jingxi joked a few words about Linglong, then smiled and talked about a soup that is not very common, "Grandmother, according to the records in Song Dynasty Lin Hong's "Shanjia Qinggong", you can eat plum cakes in chicken soup in winter, which is very suitable for the occasion. Use plum blossoms , sandalwood and flour to make a thin skin, use a plum mold to press out the shape of plum blossoms, and cook it in chicken soup, the rich aroma of sandalwood reveals the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, coupled with the mellow aroma of chicken soup, it is extremely delicious."

Mrs. Yu's eyebrows stretched, "It sounds delicious." Mrs. Guan said hastily: "Plum blossoms and sandalwood are ready-made, and plum blossom molds are also available. If the old lady wants to eat this, the wife will order someone to go to the kitchen to order." The old lady Yu nodded, "Don't waste the second girl's ingenuity." Mrs. Guan then called a daughter-in-law and told her carefully, "...take out the plum blossom mold, make sure it is delicate and meticulous, and pour it into the soup. It should be about the same number as real plum blossoms." The daughter-in-law agreed, and went to the kitchen to spread the word.

"It's a blessing." Mrs. Yu smiled all over her face.

She looked at Jing Xi with an extraordinarily kind gaze.

Jingxi sits quietly beside her, looking extraordinarily well-behaved.However, when Linglong and Linglong accidentally collided, they couldn't help showing off.

Linglong couldn't help smiling.

I just took a class and wanted to pay some tuition.Cousin, you are so competitive.

"I want thirty plum blossoms." Linglong would not wrong her lips and stomach, and immediately made an appointment with Guan, "Auntie, please ask the kitchen to do more."

"Thirty flowers." Guan looked at Qiao with a questioning look. Seeing Qiao's slight nod, she smiled, "Yes, it's thirty."

Ordinarily, the plum blossom cake pressed out of the plum blossom mold is as big as the real plum blossom, and there are not many thirty.However, Mrs. Qiao has always pampered Linglong, and the diet alone is very long-winded. Of course, eating less is not enough, but eating too much is afraid that she will not be able to cope with her age.Mrs. Guan didn't care. Seeing Mrs. Qiao nodding, she was of course happy to agree.

Ever since seeing Linglong's obsession with meat, Mrs. Qiao has been mentally prepared for her precious daughter's greed for food and drink. Seeing Linglong like this, she just smiled gently and tolerantly.

When the Plum Blossom Cake in Chicken Soup was served, everyone moved their index fingers when they saw small plum blossoms floating in the clear chicken soup.

Linglong scooped a plum blossom into the mouth with a spoon, and the faint fragrance of the flower spread in her mouth, which was intoxicating.

The chicken soup is clear and delicious, and the plum cakes are like real flowers. The delicacy is rippling between the lips and tongue, and the taste buds are greatly satisfied.Linglong was intoxicated by eating, with endless aftertaste.

"Let's eat it at night, okay?" She put down the blue and white porcelain bowl in her hand, reluctant to part with it, and she still couldn't finish it.

The small appearance like a greedy cat makes everyone laugh.

Two days later, Qiao Sirou brought her two sons, Song Changqing and Song Changchun, back to Qiao's old house in Qiao's Lane.

When Qiao Shi was still in her infancy, her mother had died, and Qiao's father never remarried, leaving only an aunt by her side to take care of her daily life.After the Qiao brothers and sisters grew up, Qiao Siqi became an official in Jinling, Qiao Sirou married into Heqinghou's mansion, Qiao's married into the Yu family in the same city, and it was his nephew and family members who stayed in Qiao's house to serve Qiao's father.Qiao Sirou's father was very pleasantly surprised when Qiao Sirou came back to visit his relatives.

The eldest sister is back, so Qiao will naturally take her children back to her mother's house.

Mrs. Qiao was busy preparing gifts for her mother's house, her own and Linglong's clothes in the room. Uncle Yu came over and said with a smile, "I haven't seen my father-in-law for a long time, and I miss him very much. I will also go to Qiao's Lane." Mrs. Qiao He raised his head happily, "Are you going with me too? Very good." He also calculated for her husband and two sons, what kind of robe, what kind of shoes, and what kind of purse should be worn.

Yu Chang and Yu Yan were also very happy to know that their aunt was back. "Grandfather always misses uncle and aunt. I don't know how happy he will be to see aunt." In the alley of the house, I had a good discussion with my grandfather, and accompanied the old man to relieve his boredom.

The next day, the family drove to Qiaojia Lane.

Father Qiao is a kind old man with white beard and hair. When he sees his daughter, daughter, grandson, and granddaughter, he smiles kindly and looks full of love.Sure enough, Qiao Sirou does not look like Qiao Shi, Qiao Shi is a rare beauty, with fair skin and picturesque eyebrows, Qiao Sirou's clothes are luxurious, but she is just a middle-of-the-road beauty.

Qiao Sirou's eyebrows and eyes resemble Qiao's father, Linglong thought, it must be that Qiao's looks like a mother, and Qiao Sirou looks like a father.Therefore, the appearance of the two sisters is not very similar.

"My mother is still the president." Linglong looked at her aunt's face and mother's face, feeling satisfied.

Sisters Qiao Shi and Qiao Sirou haven't seen each other for many years, after meeting they held hands and looked at tears, speechless.After shedding tears, they called their sons and daughters to visit.Brothers Song Changqing and Song Changchun are tall and straight, they seem to be very masculine taught by Qiao Sirou, seeing Qiao Sirou, he is very pleased for the elder sister.

Qiao Sirou looked at Yu Chang and Yu Yan one by one, and said with a smile: "Little sister, you two sons are gentle and elegant, and you really look like a father." When she saw Linglong, surprise flashed in her eyes, "So I have such a What about a niece who looks like a snow ball. Little sister, Linglong is such a good student."

The two young brothers from the Yu family, Song Changqing and Song Changchun met each other, the brothers from the Yu family are elegant, and the brothers from the Song family are handsome, the four of them like each other and cherish each other.

Song Changqing and Song Changchun didn't have any direct sisters from the same mother, and they felt very close when they saw Linglong carved in powder and jade.

After saluting and seeing each other, Father Qiao, Uncle Yu and others went to the front to drink and listen to theatre.Sisters Qiao Shi and Qiao Sirou sat down to talk, and Linglong had to listen in.

Qiao Shi wondered, "Sister, why did you come back in such a hurry?"

In the midst of winter, why did you come back as if there was something urgent?
Qiao Sirou's eyes flickered, and she sighed, "Suddenly I was homesick, so I came back."
