[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

Returning to the bank empty-handed, Yin Chan was about to question Wan Xiang with a smile, but seeing her panicked look, he only asked her worriedly what happened.But when Xi Wanxiang said something, she didn't say anything, she just threw herself into the arms of the sister-in-law like a frightened little animal.

This is a major event related to Miss Sister's lifelong happiness, and it was caused by Wan Xiang, so she must take responsibility for it.It's just that she faintly felt that maybe she shouldn't tell the old lady this news. Xi Qingse didn't want to marry at all, but now she quickly changed her attitude. Although there is no guarantee that she really loves Mr. Du, the possibility is not great.The real reason is that Xi Wanxiang is not Qingse, so she can't speculate, but she feels that Qingse's purpose is not that simple.

Just as Wanxiang expected, after Xi Qingse learned from her that the matchmaker made a mistake in ordering the mandarin ducks, she showed no signs of sadness at all.The astonishment between the eyebrows was fleeting, and then it was replaced by a relieved chuckle.

Xi Wanxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and said puzzledly: "Sister Qingse, although I already guessed that the young master is not the one you like, it has a lot to do with it. Shouldn't you be a bit shaken by this marriage?"

Qing Se raised her eyebrows, and looked down at Wan Xiang's black and white pupils: "Then, do you like that young master? Do you care, or will you hate me as an older sister for taking love with a knife?"

"Hengdaoduo...Sister Qingse, don't make fun of me. I only met him once, and when he came to collect debts, the only impression I had of him was that he was a dude. He wants to marry you, I I still feel a little regretful." Wan Xiang hurriedly argued.

"That's good. Because of this, I should thank you." Xi Qingse said softly, with a relaxed smile that couldn't be concealed in her eyes, as if she had lifted all the burden from her heart and shoulders all day long.

"Thank me?"

Qingse nodded, turned around and pulled away the dressing table, stuffed a box of small enamel glass jars half the size of a palm into Wanxiang, and said, "I am incompetent as a sister. I have been wronged. Now you have done me a big favor. I don’t have any good things. I planned to give myself this box of rouge for the New Year. If you don’t dislike it, I will give it to you.” She lowered her voice again. , "You know this and I know it, but you must not let the third person know, not even your closest relatives."

Holding the exquisitely painted small pot in her hand, Xi Wanxiang walked out of the quiet room with a bewildered expression.

Opening the small pot in his hand, there is fine vermilion powder inside, and when he smells it closely, the pleasant fragrance of flowers will come to his nostrils.This rouge is different from the usual ones, and it must be of great value. It seems that sister Qingse is really grateful to her.

Xi Wanxiang put the rouge box in the deepest part of the dressing table, she would never be able to afford such an expensive and delicate rouge, if found out, it might cause unnecessary trouble.And the young lady takes this matter so seriously, of course I don't want to be her stumbling block.

It's just that she didn't expect Qingse to be such a person who is trapped by love in her bones.

At the end, Qingse bit her lips and said: "To tell you the truth, I already have a lover, but we are separated by mountains and rivers, and she is not tolerated by the world, so I can only use such despicable methods. Make a plan to fulfill your liking. You can call me unbearable or inhuman, but I really have no choice. When I am at the end of my life, I can only do this according to my mother's wishes." Said this When talking, Wan Xiang clearly saw the firmness in her eyes, which was unforgettable after long years of refinement.

Xi Wanxiang didn't get to the bottom of it, and didn't say much, she just felt that her reckless determination moved her.Therefore, this became an unspeakable secret between her and Qingse.

Yin Chan saw Wan Xiang's strangeness, but he didn't know why she was bothering her. He asked her, but kept silent, and just turned around and hugged himself.

The little girl seemed to have a bit of worry between her brows, she raised her soft white face from her arms, her eyes were a little brighter than Xing Cui, she just looked at her stubbornly, which made people feel distressed for no reason.Yin Tang couldn't help but caressed Wanxiang's face, and smiled comfortingly: "What's the matter? I didn't keep my promise today, my sister-in-law has been waiting for you all afternoon for delicious food."

"If there is something that can't be obtained by fighting for it, but Xinmu is doomed to be unsatisfactory, what will my sister-in-law do?" Wan Xiang stared closely at Yin Dang's eyes, as if she wanted to dig out some fluctuations in this calmness.

Yin Tang didn't know why Wanxiang said such words suddenly, she just whispered softly as usual: "There is nothing perfect in this world. Didn't my cousin teach you that if you like it too much, just hold it in the palm of your hand?" Sand, the tighter you hold it, the faster the sand will flow away. If you have something you admire, you should try your best to chase it bravely. But if you really have no choice, you must learn to let yourself go, and you must not learn from the firefighter. Moths. The next best thing is better for everyone.”

Her voice is so gentle, like a river that never slows down, slowly flowing into my heart and winding along the blood.Xi Wanxiang's nose was sore, she didn't dare to let her sister-in-law see her appearance, so she put her chin on her shoulder as a pillow.

What the sister-in-law said is absolutely right, and Miss Qingse did the same thing. She worked hard to pursue, and when she realized that it was impossible, she compromised. Marriage is only to meet the expectations of the world, and from then on, she can continue to pursue what she wants.

But evening fragrance is not.Maybe it's because she is still young, the reality has not let her see its harshness.Wan Xiang smelled the slightly familiar light fragrance from her cousin's neck hair, she grabbed her sister-in-law's clothes with her fingers, and said almost stubbornly: "Those who refuse to retreat, what is missing is missing."

Yin Chan was stunned for a moment, but he reacted very quickly, and asked with a smile: "Could it be that little Wanxiang has a crush on some young master?"

Wan Xiang was silent.

I couldn't see the little girl's expression, but felt that she was holding her body a little stiffly, Yin Tang hurriedly said: "It's okay, Wan Xiang is not young anymore, she will be fourteen soon, it's time for spring to spring, girls There are not a few people who are engaged at this time. Is it the Zhong family brother from last time? Or some other young man? If you really like it, my cousin will help you..."

"I like my sister-in-law." Xi Wanxiang gritted her teeth.After speaking, even I was a little bit at a loss.Perhaps it is the voice of the heart?Obviously, he had no such intention at all, but he wanted to interrupt his sister-in-law's words urgently, and the eagerness overflowed from his heart and lungs.

Yin Tang sneered, his warm body was in his arms, and the two seemed to have melted together.It is undeniable that Yin Tang was very moved when he heard this sentence, he was stunned for a moment, and then he woke up immediately.After all, he regarded her as an inexperienced girl, stroked Wanxiang's stubborn back, and said, "Silly girl, what is a sister-in-law? There will be that person, he will touch your heart, and go with you lifetime."

Xi Wanxiang took a deep breath, finally raised her head, looked seriously into Yin Dang's eyes, and said, "There won't be."

Yin Yang shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything more after all.She likes this little girl, from the first time we met, through the hazy red silk, that little bewildered figure.But liking is the most useless emotion in the world, it only makes people dizzy.Yin Chan was glad that she was still sober, she didn't have the urge to ignore Wan Xiang, she only hoped that the two of them would live their lives together and be close to each other.

There is a letter from Jiang Ning, a letter written by Xi Yuanzhen himself.

It is said that the Xi family's business in Jiangning is very smooth, and the Jiankang and Lianghuai areas have not been affected by the plague, so both father and son are safe and healthy.He also said that in order to appease the family and visit the old lady after the plague, the father and son decided to go back to Yongzhou for the New Year together for several years.

There were also several bank notes in the letter, totaling as much as 100 taels.Presumably the father and son's business in Jiangning is really prosperous.

After receiving the letter, the heart that Mrs. Xi had been carrying all day finally returned to its original place.I even ate half a bowl more for lunch, and my face was full of satisfaction.On the contrary, Xi Wanxiang, after hearing the good news from Song's mother, seemed a little lonely and unhappy uncharacteristically.

Like a sticky candy, Miss Xi Er, who always followed the young lady by her side, did not go to the bank with the young lady early in the morning. When she saw the second lady wandering around the backyard alone, Jinlian felt curious, so she went to have a look.

I saw the second young lady standing on tiptoe under the plum tree, struggling to hold a bucket basket with bamboo strips, and raised her head to pick the newly bloomed wintersweet plums one by one.The hood that should have been worn on the top of her head slipped down on her shoulders, and many small yellow plum blossoms were dotted in her fluffy hair. The air was cold, and the breath she exhaled turned into pieces of white mist.

Jinlian didn't want to disturb the second lady at first, but Wan Xiang found her, she waved her hand to herself, and smiled happily: "Jinlian, can you help me go to the kitchen to get some honey?"

Although he didn't understand what the second lady wanted honey for, Jinlian helped her get honey.When I came back, I found that the second lady was sitting alone in the hexagonal pavilion beside the plum tree, meticulously selecting plump wintersweets from the bucket just now, and placing them one by one on the silk handkerchief at hand.Such focused and careful movements seemed to be doing something extremely important.

The plum blossoms are soaked in honey for three days, and the aroma is completely stored in the honey.Take another small jar of white wine, pour all the plum honey into it, add three or four jujubes, angelica, and broken longan, cover and seal.

Jinlian still doesn't understand what the second young lady is doing, and she secretly doesn't let herself tell the young lady.Jinlian thought it was just a little girl learning to make wine for fun, so she laughed it off and didn't pay much attention to it.The only thing I feel is that the second young lady is much more ingenious now.Thinking of the first time I cooked four years ago, the scene of being in a hurry makes people feel funny. I tried my best but only made a sweet and greasy "fa cake" that made people laugh and cry.The little girl who was clumsy in the past can now learn how to make wine by herself, which really makes Jin Lian gasp in admiration.

After the winter solstice, Xi Xuyao, the grandson of the Xi family who has not returned from business for three years, returned to Taimen Town from Jiangning in a horse-drawn carriage.

The big brown horse snorted and stopped at the gate of Xi's house, and a tall and straight young man stepped out from inside the dark blue carriage with the curtain raised, with handsome features and well-defined outlines.After Xi Xuyao ​​jumped out of the carriage, he didn't stride into the long-lost ancestral house. He turned around with his waist bowed, and gently held a pair of slender and soft white hands protruding from the carriage.

Seeing this scene, Xi Wanxiang, who had been standing with his sister-in-law under the eaves of the main hall for two hours, obviously felt a little colder after holding her hand.Looking up, the sister-in-law was still smiling, peaceful and gentle.
