[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

There are not many people in the backyard, but there are always servants passing by back and forth in the corridor.

It happened that there was no one at the moment, so Yin Chan stopped under the veranda and watched from afar.There is no fence on the other side of the courtyard. Outside the neat fence is a gentle hillside. There are rows of rapeseed planted here. Looking down, you can overlook the neighboring town. Black and white houses are scattered in the valley, like a vibrant ribbon. .Wan Xiang was the only one in the huge courtyard, her small body huddled under a flourishing plum tree. The plum blossoms bloomed and withered, leaving only a few scattered petals, which fell on her hair. A faint fragrance floats in the air.

The little maid who passed by made a bow, but before Yin Tang could stop her, the maid called out "Young Madam".

The sound reached Wan Xiang's ears, she immediately turned around, stared round at the cousin under the veranda, reacted for a while before smiling shyly and said: "Dang sister-in-law, didn't you say that you are very busy ahead?" Why do you come here when you have time?" Xi Wanxiang hurriedly threw away the small shovel in her hand, feeling a little embarrassed seeing her cousin standing still like this, she must have been there for a long time.

Yin Chan came down from the verandah, the bluestone steps were clean, the courtyard was wide open, and he walked in front of Wan Xiang in a short while.Just now he was standing far away and couldn't see clearly, now Yin Chan noticed that little Wanxiang Baisheng's face was covered with a lot of mud, and his forehead was also a little sweaty.

"No matter how busy you are, can I forget you?" Yin Chen said casually, took out the handkerchief again, helped her wipe off the dirt and sweat on her face, frowned and said, "Look at you, how did you make yourself so ugly?" Are you in such a mess? Fortunately, your grandmother didn't have time to visit the backyard, otherwise I will definitely blame you."

Wan Xiang wrinkled her nose and enjoyed her cousin's wiping her face very much. There was a faint fragrance of gardenia on the handkerchief, which made people feel good after smelling it.

"What are you doing?" Yin Tang put away the handkerchief, took a step back, and looked curiously at the piece of soil behind Wan Xiang.

"No, nothing, nothing..." Xi Wanxiang's face was a little red, her eyes dodged, her toes moved slightly, and she kicked a small pile of dirt beside her into a deep hole that she had finally dug out.

"Huh?" Yin Tang became even more curious, turned sideways, and looked from Wanxiang's left.

Xi Wanxiang moved to the left, staring at her cousin, not letting her see.

After a few times, Wan Xiang was impatient than Yin Dang. She wanted to grab her cousin's arm, but her hands were covered with dirty mud marks. After looking at it, she could only shrink back, and looked at Yin Dang eagerly. : "Sister-in-law~~"

Yin Tang just stared at her intently, with a smile in his eyes, he looked at her for a while not to be outdone, but soon made Wan Xiang give up his stubbornness.

Xi Wanxiang twisted her fingers and had no choice but to take a step away.I saw only a small pit on the ground with a thin layer of soil, but there was nothing in it.

"Here." Between Xi Wanxiang's dark hands was a pocket wine jar, which was only about four inches high, low, long and wide, with a sky-blue body and a light glaze, depicting the far-reaching Daiqing River. He also plugged a wine stopper to confirm that it is indeed a wine jar, not an ordinary porcelain bottle.

Yin Tang looked at the small wine jar in Wanxiang's hand, then moved his eyes to her flushed face, took the delicate wine jar from her hand, it was a bit heavy, shook it, it seemed to be full of fine wine . "What's this?" Yin Yang couldn't help asking.

Xi Wanxiang rubbed her fingers, not daring to look at her sister-in-law shyly: "It's nothing, just a can of plum blossom stuffing... Well, isn't it my sister-in-law's birthday today..."

Before Yin Chan could react, Wan Xiang hurriedly said, "Here, I bought this from the market, but I didn't make it myself! It's the newly opened wine shop on Dongxuan Street, which only cost a day. I borrowed two pieces of silver from Li Sichun, and I still owe him money right now!"

"Oh? Then, do you want my sister-in-law to help you pay back the money?" Yin Chan smiled, seeing Wan Xiang's flustered appearance, his heart felt warm.

"Okay, I made it..." Wan Xiang was dejected, and then looked up at Yin Dang with some expectation, "But it's just a look at the brewing, if it's not delicious, it should be taken for granted."

The porcelain pot in his hand was delicate, thick and heavy, just like this little girl's heart.Yin Chan smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell me what you gave to my sister-in-law earlier? There's only one person hiding here. It's so well hidden, how does my sister-in-law know what you want?"

This remark stunned Wan Xiang, she understood that she was talking about this can of plum wine, but Wan Xiang, who had something else in mind, couldn't help being dazed for a moment. "The wine must be buried in the ground for three to five years before it tastes good. This is what the grandfather of the wine shop told me. If you open it now, the taste of the wine will be harsh and the fragrance of the flowers will be weak, so it can't be called a jar. Fine wine. Besides, wouldn’t it be nice to bury it on my cousin’s birthday and open it together with my sister-in-law a few years later?”

Little Wanxiang's earnest appearance was touching, Yin Chan instantly felt that his eye sockets were a little wet, he hurriedly opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, my sister-in-law will bury it with you."

The haze in her heart dissipated, Wan Xiang smiled and said, "Okay." Then she leaned into Tang sister-in-law's ear and said, "Happy birthday, Tang sister-in-law."

The soft and warm breath rushed to the earlobe, making Yin Dang a little dazed.

Under the veranda, girls and women passed by, all whispering, Dao just said that the second lady was squatting alone, and I don't know what to do, but now it's even weirder, the young lady came to ask about the situation, and she squatted with the second lady !The two were chatting and laughing, and Suimei didn't even realize it!

The big day of the Xi family was only two days away, and Aunt Feng and Yin Tang were in charge of all the trivial matters, while Qingse, the person concerned, was always on the lookout, either in a dark room where people could not be avoided, or everywhere. Can't find it.

But fortunately, every time he disappeared from the house, he could come back in the evening. Although he was persuaded several times by Mrs. Xi, Xi Qingse couldn't repent at all.When I asked her where she was, she just said that she was bored and flustered, and she just went out for a walk.The old lady was a little skeptical, but she sent people out with the eldest lady twice, but they were always quickly thrown off by Xi Qingse, and the old lady felt a little headache.

After all, Xi Qingse is no longer an ignorant girl, and she can't just shut it down at will, and the old lady is worried that if she pushes her too hard, she might do something stupid according to this girl's temperament. Now it's the eve of her wedding , can not afford any risk.Therefore, seeing that Se went out to be happy, did not cause any trouble, and was rarely obedient when she came back, old lady Xi just turned a blind eye.Since even the old lady didn't say much, Aunt Feng couldn't control Qingse anymore, she just whispered in Qingse's ear from time to time.

No, Miss Xi disappeared again today.

When she heard the news, Aunt Feng was nibbling melon seeds, she twitched her eyebrows, stood up abruptly, and spat out the melon seeds: "Didn't you tell the young miss to take good care of you? Where did the eyes go?! There are two days left, and this girl still can't bear to go out? I don't know what she is doing, maybe she is with some guy..." Aunt Feng said, she wanted to give herself a mouthful, so she hurriedly spat, this How can you just say what the crow's mouth says, what if it comes true? !Isn't that a big joke?

That's all, Qingse had made a guarantee with herself before, and she swore that she would get on the sedan chair safely, so that her mother would not be worried.Aunt Feng still knows about her own daughter.Although the girl likes to fight against each other, she has a stubborn temper after all, and she disdains to say fooling people the most.So with this promise, Aunt Feng can be considered a reassurance.Maybe Qingse is having a private meeting with Mr. Du?

But when Xushi arrived, Xi Qingse hadn't come back yet.

Mrs. Xi was in a hurry, and the crutch hit the ground "dumbly", and it also hit Aunt Feng's heart.Aunt Feng bent over and stood next to the old lady with a smile, she was obviously very anxious, but she had to keep apologizing to the old lady and didn't like the bride.

A moment passed until Haishi, and Qingse didn't come back. The servants in the whole house were sent out to look for the eldest lady, but those who came back said they couldn't find her.

Thinking about the marriage with Miss Sister before, Xi Wanxiang always felt creepy.These days, I always ignore my anxiety as if I didn't know it, but if something unexpected happens at that time, even if we get married safely, then the days after Qingse's marriage will be unsettling as you can imagine , although these have nothing to do with Wanxiang, and they were done at Qingse's behest, but after all, it was because of her, Xi Wanxiang, that she couldn't get rid of it.

The sky was getting more and more silent, with thick clouds, making it oppressive for people to breathe.Xi Wanxiang's hand holding Yin Dang felt cold, and the traces of guilt and introspection made her hang her head, not daring to look at the old lady and Aunt Feng.

Yin Chan has been by Wanxiang's side all the time, and has witnessed Wanxiang laughing and talking Yanyan from the afternoon, to the momentary uneasiness after hearing Qingse's disappearance for three hours, and now becoming increasingly nervous and dazed.In front of everyone, Yin Chan didn't know what this matter had to do with Wan Xiang, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions, but he held Wan Xiang's sweat-drenched hand tightly in comfort.Wan Xiang was taken aback, smiled, and said softly to Yin Chan, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine."

After a while, Xi Qingse came back.

The old lady Xi breathed a sigh of relief, just as she was about to frowned and reprimanded, another slim figure walked out from the gate.

It was the south wind.Several people knew Nanfeng, but they only knew that he had served Qingse for many years, and followed the eldest lady since childhood, but they didn't know when the relationship between the two became so close.

When the two came in, their fingers were clasped tightly, Nan Feng seemed a little timid, his eyes rolled like a frightened animal, he would dodge whoever he met, trying to pull his hand out of Qing Se's hand but couldn't, Qing Se Se held it tightly, not allowing Nanfeng to escape.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing why Xi Qingse brought this former girl back.

On the other hand, Qingse was not in a hurry. She calmly swept around the people in the hall, and then knelt down with Nanfeng: "Grandma, Qingse has been out for too long today, and you are worried. You will get married soon, and Qingse will be married again soon." It's hard to stay with you like before, although you are always indifferent and not good at words in the clear days, but you still have grandma in your heart, and I hope grandma is well and healthy at Xi's house." Said, Xi Qingse respectfully He kowtowed to the old lady Xi, then kowtowed to Aunt Feng again, and said, "Mother, you too. You are so unfilial, and I have a lot of dissatisfaction with you. Now that it's time to part, I still can't let go. "

Hearing this, Mrs. Xi couldn't help but her eyes were wet. She was too old to hear such parting words, and she was angry at first, but it almost dissipated now.Aunt Feng even took out the silk and wiped the corners of her eyes. Although she was usually taciturn and didn't talk to her, she was her own daughter after all. Even if she wasn't caring, she was warm.

The old lady was helped, walked up to her, and said with a cold face on purpose: "Okay, it's fine if you know your mistake. I should have punished you, but I will let you go when the big day is approaching. After finishing speaking, he looked at Nanfeng beside her who had buried his head in his chest, and finally his eyes fell on their tightly clasped hands.

Seeing that Qingse was still kneeling stupidly, Aunt Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help her by the arm: "Why are you still kneeling? Get up!"

Xi Qingse knelt down again, and moved closer to the old lady Xi, her eyes full of expectation: "Grandma, Qingse has something to ask."

Mrs. Xi glanced at them: "Say."

Xi Qingse swallowed her saliva, her voice was not loud, but she could not be refuted: "I want Nanfeng to marry me. Qingse begged her grandmother to buy her from her parents, so that Qingse could also have someone to talk to in Du's house."
