"Okay! You girls, take your time, Li Heng, let's go!" Zhou You said and took Li Heng away.
Zhao Ling'er and Lin Wan'er carefully admired every stall and shop together, and it felt like shopping in a modern ancient town.
Zhao Ling'er suddenly had a feeling of the unity of ancient and modern times, as if she could live comfortably in both lives.
The two of them bought aromatherapy, bronze mirrors, combs, and purses together. Zhao Ling'er also bought a pair of cotton clothes and boots for herself and A Yao. She also drank a bowl of lychee ointment, which was sweet and had the fragrance of lychee, and she immediately felt comfortable.
.
Before I knew it, it was almost dusk.
"It's getting late, let's go to the spicy soup place and wait for them," Lin Wan'er said.
So the two of them carried a bunch of things and walked back. They happened to meet Zhou You and Li Heng coming from the other direction. The two of them were carrying a large wooden barrel with a lot of things in it.
Zhao Ling'er and Lin Wan'er also put their things in.
"Shall we have hot pot tonight?" Zhao Ling'er looked at Li Heng and asked.
"I can do it." Li Heng said.
"Then let's go find a place to buy mutton!" Zhao Ling'er looked at Zhou You.
"Didn't you tell me earlier? We passed by several mutton stalls just now!"
"Oh, I have a lot to buy, let's go take a look together!"
Several people returned to the street selling vegetables and bought spinach, perilla, tofu, leeks, bamboo shoots, lotus root, radish, mutton, rabbit and other vegetables. Everyone had a lot of things in their hands and prepared to go back.
Zhao Ling'er suddenly remembered and said, "Wait a minute, I haven't bought the chili peppers yet!"
"Chili? What is chili?" Lin Waner asked.
"Chili peppers are the kind that are long, green and red, and taste very spicy!"
"Never seen it." Lin Wan'er shook her head.
Looking at Zhou You and Li Heng, they both said they had never heard of it.
Zhao Ling'er said to herself: "Why is there no chili? I'll ask."
She put the things on the ground and said, "Wait for me here and I'll be back soon."
I visited several spice shops, but the shopkeepers all said they had never heard of chili peppers. There were peppers, Yue peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns, but no chili peppers.
There was no chili!
Zhao Linger was very confused.
Seeing that it was getting dark soon, Zhao Ling'er went back unwillingly.
Four people hired three carriages to barely pack everything in.
When we got home, Ayao was already back.
Zhou You volunteered to fry the hot pot base, while Zhao Linger and Lin Waner were responsible for washing the vegetables.
Ayao pestered Li Hengfei to recite to him the "Disciple Rules" that she had recently learned in the private school.
"Disciples follow the rules of the saints. The first lesson is to be filial to the younger ones. Believe in loving others and being kind and benevolent. If you have enough strength, you should study literature... When the elders are established, the young should not sit down. When the elders sit down, they should sit in front of the elders. It is not appropriate to speak in a low voice and not hear it, but it is not appropriate for all fathers to do so.
Serve your father as you serve your brothers..."
"Wrong." Li Heng interrupted her.

"Wrong, come again."

"Wrong, come again." Li Heng said again.
"I'm right!" Ayao couldn't bear it anymore and started crying.
"It is not appropriate for your elders to keep your voice low and not hear it. Start memorizing it from here."
"It is not appropriate for your elders to keep your voice low and ignore it, but it is not appropriate to serve your father as you would your father and your brothers as you would your brothers..." A Yao continued to memorize it.
"If you get too close, you'll have to retreat later. Why don't you look away? Where did you go?" Li Heng asked.
"Oh, I forgot!" Ayao suddenly stuck out her tongue. It turned out that she had really memorized it wrong.
Zhao Ling'er listened to their conversation while washing vegetables, and couldn't help but smile when she heard this.
Strange, it seems that Li Heng is very familiar with the "Disciple Rules"! Then why does he still do that kind of thing?
Zhao Ling'er had some doubts about Li Heng's life experience.
"Dong dong dong!"
"There's someone knocking on the door!" Lin Wan'er said to Zhao Ling'er.
Zhao Ling'er also heard it and stood up to open the door.
She was really surprised by who came.
It turned out to be Mu Yunqing, Su Yixiang, Su Yining and Su Wenxuan!
"Why are you here?" Zhao Ling'er said in surprise.
Mu Yunqing took the lead and walked in, handed Zhao Ling'er a pair of vases, and said: "We are here to wish you a happy housewarming! I sent Yun'er this afternoon, but you were not at home. Why don't we come together in the evening?
Looking for you!"
"Welcome, welcome! Please come into the main room!" Zhao Ling'er greeted them and walked into the room.
Su Yi Ning looked around. This house was shabby and small. There wasn't even any decent furniture in it. If I had known better, I wouldn't have given her vases or furniture!
"You guys sit down first. I just bought the rose tea this afternoon. The water will be boiling in a while."
Zhao Ling'er hurriedly took the things on the table to the back room, wiped the table clean, and invited them to sit down.
Mu Yunqing stood up and said: "Oh, you don't have to be so polite. With such people, I don't think it's too much trouble. Let's go to the Yingbin Building together. We'll treat you. You all go together. It's a gift from Yixiang."
It’s a gift.”
"This..." Zhao Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask their opinions."
Then he went to find Zhou You and Wan'er.
They had no objection at all.
But Li Heng said: "You go ahead, I will go back first."
Ayao held Li Heng's hand and refused to let him go, while Su Wenxuan followed Ayao closely.
Zhao Ling'er was hesitating about what to do when Su Yixiang walked out of the room and said, "I think it would be good for everyone to eat hot pot together. I'll ask Acheng to buy some vegetables and let's all eat together. There are so many people."
Well!"
"That's fine." Zhao Ling'er agreed.
She was a little afraid to see Su Yining, but Mu Yunqing was in the room again, so she had to go and entertain him.
So he walked over and pretended that nothing was wrong and said to Mu Yunqing, "You guys came here just for me!"
Mu Yunqing said: "Hey, I finally have a reason to come out for some air, so of course I have to come out!"
"That's right!" Zhao Ling'er suddenly remembered that she hadn't looked at the clothes Lin Wan'er had sent her this morning.
She hurriedly pulled Mu Yunqing to the back room and showed her the clothes.
"Well, the style is indeed strange, but I don't know how it will look on me." Mu Yunqing picked up the clothes and took a closer look.
"You can try it first, I'll watch the door for you." Zhao Ling'er said.
Su Yi Ning sat in the main room for a while. Seeing that everyone was busy with their own business, he felt bored and walked to the yard.
Seeing Li Heng sitting at the door reading a book, Su Yining walked over.
"What book are you reading?" Su Yining asked.
Li Heng turned the book over and showed him the cover: "I can read whatever books children read."
"Yeah." Su Yining nodded: "Have you read Su Shi's recent song "Jiangchengzi. Hunting in Mizhou"? 'How to draw the eagle bow like the full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf.' How well written!"
Li Heng shook his head.
Su Yining said: "I have a collection of Su Shi's poems. Come to Qinglian Teahouse to find me when you are free someday. I go there almost every afternoon."
Li Heng nodded.
Su Yining saw that Li Heng was not very talkative, so he went out to find Su Yixiang.
Just as Su Yixiang finished his instructions, he returned to the yard.
"Master Su, Yunqing asks you to go to the inner room." Zhao Ling'er saw Su Yixiang entering the hospital and hurriedly called him.
Su Yi Ning was about to follow, but when she heard that her sister-in-law was calling her brother, she had to stop.
