[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

Yuanyang just got through with Keren a few days ago, and knew that Keren wanted to promote Lizhi, and asked her to be Qingwen's arm so that she could fight Xiren.Now seeing that the old lady asked about litchi, Yuanyang hid the part about Mrs. Wang, so that the old lady would not feel bad about litchi.

Mother Jia nodded after hearing Yuanyang's words: "So that's the case, I didn't expect her to have such a skill." Jia Baoyu scratched her head anxiously: "Old ancestor, ancestor, please ask Lizhi to come in. I want to ask her how the radish was carved."

"Okay, okay," Mother Jia was still very kind to her baby Jinsun, "tell her to come in."

Lizhi had been waiting outside the door, and when she saw someone calling her, she hurried in.She put on a harmless expression that she is very good at, and kowtowed to her in front of Jia Mu. There was still a muffled "boom", and the surrounding maids who were more lively could not help it. laughed.

"Are you the litchi?" Jia Mu was surprised at how young the litchi looked, "How old are you? You really carved the radish and lotus flower?"

Lizhi said: "Returning to the old lady, Lizhi is six years old today, and the craftsmanship of carving flowers was originally passed down from family. Lizhi's family originally opened a restaurant, but then my father passed away suddenly, and I was too young. Mother was really helpless, so she sold me to cure my poor brother."

Mother Jia was getting older, and her heart softened a lot. When she heard the "tragic" story of litchi's family's ruin, she sighed for a while: "Wealthy families like us spend a lot of money all day long, but they don't know the common people outside. , What a hard time it is. Good boy, get up."

Then, Mother Jia said to the mandarin ducks on the side: "It's hard for her to carve such a big lotus flower with a knife in her hand. Not to mention anything else, just this kind of thought is filial piety. Go, take that prawn." Bring the beard bracelet and give it to her. Mama Zhao's water shield soup is also very good, so give it to her."

For a while, Yuanyang took out the reward and handed it over to Lizhi and Mother Zhao.Lizhi followed Mother Zhao to thank her, and just as she was about to come out, Jia Baoyu suddenly stopped Lizhi: "Lizhi, what is your story about this radish and lotus flower?"

Lychee thought about it pretending to be confused, and then said honestly: "Lichie doesn't know, if there is any allusion, I think it was when my father just taught me how to cook, this lotus was carved thousands of times, Daddy told me that there is no one else to carve the lotus, only hands and ears are familiar."

Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and felt as if he had heard the last sentence somewhere.But he couldn't think of it for a while, so after hesitating, Lizhi went out with Zhao's mother.

Baoyu had no choice but to sit at the table, look at the radish and lotus, and eat water shield and whitebait soup.Yesterday, Mother Zhao used pure water when she tried to make it, but today she used chicken racks and other good things to boil the broth, adding water shield and whitebait in it, the taste is refreshing and sweet, Baoyu ate two mouthfuls and couldn't help admiring: "This soup is delicious!"

Jia's mother also likes this taste. She is getting old and likes to eat soft and rotten food. This water shield soup is light but has a variety of flavors. It is delicious and also caters to Jia's taste. It is really good.

"The craftsmanship of Zhao Rong's family is getting better and better," Jia Mu quickly finished the bowl of water shield and whitebait soup, "Not bad."

As for the lychee side, a large bowl of water shield and whitebait soup was already installed in the small kitchen, and it was secretly taken to Qingwen's room.Qingwen was waiting for her, and when she saw the little maid came, Qingwen smiled happily: "But I was waiting for you, and you came."

Lizhi smiled and said: "Mother Zhao asked me to bring it, and give it to my sister to try." "So much, how can I drink it all by myself?" Qingwen gritted her teeth for a big bowl of water shield and whitebait soup, "That's all, you go and call the lovely lady."

In the end, the three big maids drank the soup in the room until they were full. Originally, the girls didn't eat much, so the three of them finished a big bowl of soup and didn't eat dinner in the end.

"Don't tell me, this lychee really has some skills," said Meiren, who was serving Baoyu today and knew everything in the hall. "You didn't see that lotus flower is so alive, just like the one just plucked." Like."

But the person was thoughtful: "With such a good skill, I will learn to cook with Zhao's mother in the future. I see this child... I am afraid that he wants to be released in the future."

Qingwen was also very surprised: "Let it out in the future? Sister Ren, are you kidding me? In our mansion, how many people have broken their heads and want to come in, and there are still people who want to let it out?"

"It's the so-called everyone has his own ambitions," Keren has an exquisite mind, and even guessed Lizhi's thoughts quite closely, "When I first saw this child, I thought she was stupid, but everything in my heart I understand, otherwise, why would she have to go to the small kitchen to help Mother Zhao instead of doing those light jobs?"

But Ren's inference sounds quite reasonable.Qingwen and Meiren glanced at each other, Meiren was fine, she wanted to marry Keren to the steward of the mansion, but Qingwen couldn't understand: "It's stormy outside, what's so good about it? If you ask me, I would rather stay in this mansion for the rest of my life."

Keren raised his eyes to look at Qingwen, and sighed slowly: "Don't talk too much, if you get slapped in the future, I think you are not arrogant."

-

Jia Baoyu likes today's water shield and whitebait soup very much. It not only has wild flavors, but also has allusions.It's just that the allusion sounds familiar, but Jia Baoyu can't remember where he saw it.

After returning to his room, Jia Baoyu was joking with the maids, but he saw the lotus carved from radish on the table.Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, then jumped up from the bed: "I almost forgot about it."

When Xiren came to serve tea, he was surprised to see Jia Baoyu flipping through the books in the room. Although he flipped through the books very fast, as if he was looking for something, he was actually studying!

Xiren was very happy, she wanted to say something, but she was afraid of disturbing Baoyu, so she finally put the tea aside, and then silently withdrew.

Lychee in her room didn't know that a radish and lotus flower she carved to please her boss could actually ask Baoyu to turn over the book. If she knew, she would say that interest is the best teacher.

Lizhi is admiring the shrimp whisker bracelet that the old lady gave her.This bracelet is golden, and the beads inlaid on it are also full and round.Although Lizhi knew that the bracelet might not be very valuable in the eyes of the Jia family, it was already a huge sum of money to her!

"It's such a fun day." Li Zhi wanted to take a bite of the shrimp whisker bracelet, "How much is this thing worth?"

But Li Zhi knew in her heart that she had already been in the limelight once today, and if she continued to be in the limelight, she might attract too much attention.You can continue to make carvings and decorations, but you can't go out of line.

The road has to be taken step by step, and the meal has to be eaten bite by bite. If this step is too big, it will be easy to mess up.

Lizhi turned over in the bed, then put the shrimp whisker bracelet in her arms, and closed her eyes—let her sleep smelling the smell of copper today, so as to make up for her tiredness of carving radishes sore hands.

When Lizhi went to the small kitchen the next day, he heard the story of Baoyu suddenly working hard yesterday and reading the book in his room all night.Lychee's face was full of bewilderment, wondering why Jia Baoyu had a sudden convulsion, and started reading instead of eating the rouge on the girl's mouth.

"Mother Zhao, is there anything to do today?" Li Zhi suppressed the question in her heart, followed behind Mother Zhao's ass, she was not as tall as a stove, she looked like a little follower.

Zhao's mother was thoughtful: "There is nothing else to do today, come here, I have something to say to you."

Lizhi moved a small bench and sat in front of Zhao's mother. Zhao's mother sat on the round stool in the small kitchen, looked at the little maid in front of her and said, "I know you are smart. What happened yesterday is over." It's over, you put your mind at ease, do you understand?"

Lizhi blinked and smiled slowly: "Mom, don't worry, I'm still young."

Zhao's mother looked at Lizhi with complicated eyes: "They all misunderstood you."

"Lichi's family is poor, but at least he has some ambition," Lizhi said in a low voice, "Mother Zhao, I don't want to live in this mansion for the rest of my life. Although the outside is turbulent, Lizhi... wants to be a free man."

"It's all right for you to talk about it in front of me." Zhao's mother hesitated for a moment, but she still stretched out her hand and stroked the top of Lizhi's head, "Just do it well, and when you have a chance in the future, you can naturally go out. Wives and grandmas are kind-hearted, you just need to see the opportunity."

Li Zhi nodded silently, Mother Zhao let out a long sigh, and ended the conversation: "Come on, since you've made up your mind, I'll help you and teach you something."

Lizhi secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart—I thought Mama Zhao was going to be angry, but now it seems that Mama Zhao didn't care much about it. After knowing what she meant, she didn't say anything, but just asked Lizhi to be more careful.

...So this Jia's mansion is full of good people, even Zhao's mother, who seems to be taciturn, chooses not to speak much because she understands in her heart.
