[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

The jade color is clear and moist, just like the elegance of human beings.

The bracelet that Yin Tang gave to Wan Xiang was narrower than the one she was wearing herself. She put the bracelet on Wan Xiang's wrist with her own hands, and the two jade bracelets collided lightly, making a clear and ringing sound , If the mountain stream sings lightly, there is a phoenix coming to the instrument.

Xi Wanxiang gently touched the heavy green jade bracelet in her hand, and the warm touch spread from the pulse between her wrists to her heart. She looked up at her cousin, pursed her lips and smiled like a sunflower.

After spending a few days with the bandits, Wan Xiang's physique seems to have been rebuilt. No matter how much she eats, she only grows vertically, not horizontally.This was really a joyous event, but the old lady was worried and sent the strange agricultural products and food brought by the tenants to Wanxiang every three days.The small table on Luohan's bed is always full and never empty.

However, this matter was not a good thing in the final analysis. Firstly, Xi Wanxiang had eaten too much food before the Chinese New Year. Secondly, Mrs. Xi's love made Aunt Feng feel like a stick in her throat, and she could not sleep or eat. These things are not very precious things. But even if it's just eating, her tranquility has never been so rewarded by the old lady.

What's more, like tonight Xiang's parents and Xi's second master's family all came back, and Aunt Feng smiled at each other every day, but with this smile, it was hard to hide the increasingly tense strings in her heart.The expectation is that the second master Xi and the Xi family will break up completely, so that none of the Xi family's wealth will fall on them. Now it's all right, because Xi Wanxiang's "childish talk" made me think it was wrong. The second master Xi, who will be back, came to this house again.Even if he is not good at managing the family business, the Xi family's land will definitely be allocated three points to his family.

Aunt Feng glanced at the old Mrs. Xi who was smiling, and calmly glanced at the plainly dressed Mrs. Xi and Mrs. Xi, and snorted coldly under the warm smile.She despises this family from the bottom of her heart, a dead-brained and vulgar country woman who doesn't know how to adapt.It's just that Aunt Feng glanced at Xi Wanxiang again from the corner of her eye, and realized that she was looking at her with clear black eyes. The smile on Aunt Feng's face paused, as if her preoccupied thoughts were being watched by someone, and she was embarrassed for a while.

Seeing Aunt Feng's embarrassment, Xi Wanxiang, who was huddled in Mrs. Xi's arms like a docile kitten, smiled at her more innocently, with dimples on her lips, which made people defenseless.

Looking at this seemingly innocent eight-year-old girl, Aunt Feng couldn't help feeling a little disgusted with her, this girl is not a kind girl—for some reason, Aunt Feng came up with this idea.

However, the most important thing now is to settle the marriage of her daughter Qingse. If the marriage with the Li family is settled, and with the big shade tree of the Li family, she can open her eyes and close the Xi family's open and secret fights. One eye, don't have to spend a lot of effort to fight for it.Thinking about it, the smile on Aunt Feng's face became thicker again, and she waited for the change to see how this little girl can still jump.

Sitting next to Aunt Feng at this time, Xi Qingse seemed to have nothing to do with her. With her hands wrapped in her silver-lined cuffs, she gently stroked the newly dyed Koudan on her nails.She is still very young, and she seems to be able to control many things in her own hands. She wants to fight for it, but there are too many restraints, and she can't let go.

With the sound of firecrackers, exquisite newly cut grilles were pasted on the windows, and gold-sprinkled Spring Festival couplets were pasted on both sides of the high door.

The sun of the New Year's Eve fell from the west mountain, and many of the servants of the Xi family had dispersed so that they could go home for the New Year. Only a few servants and servants were left to serve.

At this time, the reunion table, which had been bleak for many years, was rarely full of people. The newly served dishes were full of lively white air, and the table was filled with layers after a while. The children were all enveloped in white air, their smiles were faint, and they seemed vague and pleasant.

The old lady Xi didn't move her chopsticks, no one would dare to serve the bowl first, and the old lady was very happy today, so she ordered the little maid to pour half a cup of freshly warmed sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine into the wine cup in front of her, and held up the porcelain white wine cup with her sleeves pressed. , Just as he was about to speak his congratulations, a young man ran in from the door of the side room.

The boy's reckless voice made the old lady a little unhappy, she put down the wine cup, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

The janitor pointed to the entrance of the yard, grinned in disbelief and said, "Old lady, my aunt is back..."

Mrs. Xi's eyes lit up, and then she became solemn again. When she slapped the table, everyone in the room looked at each other and fell silent. Ten must also belong to your husband's house, but have you wiped your eyes to see clearly?"

The young man was very wronged, and he was afraid of the majesty of the old lady, so he curled up and muttered: "The little one has been working in Xi's house for more than ten years. I saw her many times when my aunt was a girl, and I won't admit my mistake." of……"

The old lady Xi didn't pay much attention to the boy's words, and let him go down with a slight wave of her hand: "I don't care about you if you are older than the Chinese New Year."

Just when the embarrassing atmosphere was rejuvenated, a thin figure really appeared at the door.

"Unfilial daughter Xiahua, come to pay New Year's greetings to mother. I wish mother good health and a happy new year." Xi Xiahua, who was dressed in a simple green and white coat, knelt respectfully before the threshold before entering the door.

"Third Sister!" Xi Yuannian suddenly stood up from his seat, a little moved, "Why are you back?"

The old lady Xi was much calmer than Xi Yuannian, she glanced at him with clear eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Sit down."

Wan Xiang sat between her sister-in-law and her mother, stretched her neck, looked over Aunt Feng's shoulders, and could only see her kneeling body like a mountain ridge, her hair was combed clean and simple, with a lot of thick hair pinched Frosty.

Wan Xiang asked Mrs. Xi Er in a low voice: "Mother, is this my aunt? How come Wan Xiang has never seen her before?"

Mrs. Xi put her finger on her lips, signaling Wanxiang not to speak.

The old lady Xi looked calm and let her own daughter knelt motionless in front of the threshold, as if there was no such person.She picked up the wine cup steadily again, and said without any haste: "Today is a rare reunion on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, Yuanzhen and Xuyao ​​are far away in Jiangning. The world is not peaceful, so there is no way to rush back to celebrate the New Year together. My old woman is nothing serious." Aspirations, I only hope that our Xi family members are safe and healthy, and the family happiness will always be around."

After saying that, Mrs. Xi drank the wine in one gulp, picked up the chopsticks, and seeing no one moved them, she raised her eyes and said, "What? Do you want me to treat you to eat?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to do anything, they had no choice but to hold their chopsticks, and the room was filled with warmth and laughter.

A good New Year's Eve dinner is not good, not bad.

After finally eating almost, the old lady Xi rinsed her mouth with salt water, and wiped her mouth slowly, and then let the little maid help her up, and when walking around Xi Xiahua who was still kneeling on the spot, she opened her mouth and said: "Okay, come with me."

Wan Xiang held her cousin's soft and cool hand and sat in her mother's room. Second Master Xi said he was going to the old lady's room to check on the situation, but he didn't come back for a long time.Xi Wanxiang thought of Aunt Xia Hua's resolute appearance kneeling in front of the threshold, and felt distressed and curious, so she finally couldn't bear it and asked Mrs. Xi Er: "Mother, Dad said that Aunt Xia Hua made grandma unhappy, so she knelt for so long , but what did Aunt Xia Hua do that made Grandma punish her so severely?"

Mrs. Xi Er was knocking on melon seeds, and she took a gentle look at Wan Xiang, she felt that this girl was very reserved in the past when she was not talkative, but after staying in Xi's house for half a year, she became much more cheerful, her voice was childish, and she was ghostly. Yes, more and more likable.He smiled and said: "Mother is not very clear, I only heard something from your father when he quarreled with the old lady. I heard that your aunt Xia Hua is also very stubborn. When I was 16 years old, I went to Yongzhou to play. See Dating a poor scholar, the two fell in love at first sight, and when they returned home, they resisted the old lady's wishes and refused a good marriage. At that time, it seemed that even small notes had been exchanged, and the bride price was piled up all over the yard. It was still an official family, and Aunt Xia Hua said that she was right, and almost caused the Xi family's status to be unstable. The old lady fainted from anger, and when she woke up, she kicked her out of the house, saying, "From now on, there will be no girl like Xi Xiahua in the Xi family." , Your aunt Xia Hua said nothing, so she had to wipe her tears and go to Yongzhou. There has been no news for more than ten years, and the old lady never mentioned her again."

Wan Xiang opened her mouth slightly in astonishment, she didn't expect the Xi family to be full of people who didn't follow the etiquette.Reasonably speaking, Xi Xiahua should be admirable for a person like Xi Xiahua who goes out for love, but if he really broke off the relationship because of this, and has not been in contact with him for more than ten years, he is really cruel.

Wan Xiang raised her head slightly, and exchanged a glance with Yin Dang. Yin Dang didn't seem as surprised as she was, but just smiled and stroked Wan Xiang's hanging hair.Then he took out a carefully folded red envelope from the cuff pocket and put it in Wanxiang's hand: "Today is the reunion night, so it's not easy for my cousin to sleep with Wanxiang, so I wish little Wanxiang a happy New Year in advance .”

After receiving the red envelope from his sister-in-law, Xi Wanxiang immediately forgot the story of Aunt Cai just now and squeezed it.Wan Xiang hurriedly hugged Yin Dang's arm and rubbed it: "Sister-in-law, too."

Yin Tang touched Wanxiang's smooth face with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Okay, the sister-in-law is leaving first." Then, she got up and bowed to Mrs. Xi Er, "Mrs. Yin is leaving. "

Mrs. Xi continued to knock the melon seeds, nodded and smiled, "Go slowly."

After the sister-in-law left, Wan Xiang was not used to it. She seldom stayed alone with her own mother, so she had to crack sunflower seeds with her. Children should not knock the melon seeds too much, the gap between the teeth will become bigger.Wan Xiang had no choice but to play with peeling melon seeds bored, and after a while, there was a pile of snow-white melon seeds piled high by her hand.

Looking at the pile of melon seeds, Xi Wanxiang didn't want to eat them at all, so she had an idea, she asked Mother Song for a small bowl, and put all the melon seeds in it.Then he walked out with the bowl in his arms, turned his head and said to Mrs. Xi Er, "Mother, my sister-in-law must not be asleep yet, I'll go and send her the peeled melon seeds."

Seeing Wan Xiang being so attentive, Mrs. Xi Er's face suddenly became serious, and she said in a calm voice, "Come back, don't go."

Xi Wanxiang couldn't help being intimidated by her suddenly serious mother, so she had to walk slowly to Mrs. Xi Er holding the small bowl, and whispered: "Mother, Wanxiang was wrong. Wanxiang should give you half of the melon seeds. "

Mrs. Xi Er wanted to laugh, but held back.Clearing his throat, he said, "From now on, we should keep less contact with your cousin."
