"Alas!" Lin Jinxi held her baby's double-layered chin, which was extremely fat, and kicked her short legs intermittently. She sat boredly on the Taishi chair and sighed for the nth time.
One month and ten days. It has only been one month and ten days since she came to this secluded and backward era. She is already so bored that she has nothing to do. If she is allowed to live here for the rest of her life, God! She can't wait to put her down.
The little devil who sent her here to be reincarnated was pulled out and beaten to a pulp.
Why did you choose me? Lin Jinxi kowtowed and asked herself more than once.
If it is a reward, her mother can list out a lot of her faults. The biggest fault is, of course, that she is nearly thirty years old and no man has taken a fancy to her. Well, that's not right. The key is that she can't stand men.
She is procrastinating and not punctual, looks down on men who are impatient and unsteady, dislikes men who are prettier than women, hates men who ask questions about their family wealth... Therefore, in the end, all the men she picks on are...
After getting married and having children, she was left. Just two months after her twenty-ninth birthday, by an accident, she came to this backward civilization with no entertainment and entertainment. She had to start from a young child...
God! Is this a reward? If it is a reward, I should be given a man! A good man who is rigorous, steady, handsome, upright, gentle and considerate!!!
But if it's a punishment, she hasn't done anything evil that even God can't stand? Is it possible that the fact that she is still a virgin in her late thirties has shamed God?
Alas, had I told you earlier, she had had so many opportunities to escape! But the right time, place and people never allowed her to encounter the three-in-one situation. So...
well!
Lin Jinxi let out a heavy breath again, and simply put her chin on the edge of the sandalwood Eight Immortals table without using her chubby hands to support it. She was feeling weak and thinking wildly. At least, this could kill some of the extremely boring time.
When brothers Qi Ke and Qi Chen stepped into Yingxi House for the first time to visit their half-sister, the first thing they saw was such an...unremarkable scene.
"……younger sister……"
A whisper so weak that it was almost inaudible drew back Lin Jinxi's attention.
His eyes moved around following the sound. Huh? They were two teenagers who looked almost exactly the same!
"What? I haven't seen you for two months, have you forgotten your brothers?" Qi Ke had a gentle smile on his face.
"Brother...brother..." Lin Jinxi quickly returned to sitting upright in front of her cheap father, and the low voice escaped from her throat. Yes, these are the twin brothers that cheap mother told her about - her same father.
Half-brother.
"Huh? Girl, you seem to have lost a lot of weight recently. Who bullied you?" Qi Chen, who was straightforward, reached out and patted her on the shoulder and asked without concealment. He was in the period of changing his voice, sir.
Lin Jinxi couldn't help but twitch her lips with her duck-like low and rough voice. Alas, the boy in the voice-changing stage had actually become her elder brother. Every time he saw them in the future, he would have to address them respectfully and obediently.
"Brother", what a big loss! But at least it is better than being called "aunt" by a junior high school student who is a head above her! She is willing to suffer such a loss!
"No, I exercised myself." Lin Jinxi replied pretending to be obedient. In half a year, she believed that the changes would be even greater, so she might as well admit it as soon as possible.
"Exercise? Do you want to practice running?" Qi Chen's face was full of curiosity. A few days ago, he saw her dragging her little maid through the courtyard quickly, and secretly thought that this was the exercise method she mentioned.
"Hmm. Brother, do you have any good advice? Xi'er doesn't want to get sick again. The doctor said that exercising more can prevent getting sick." Lin Jinxi confidently blamed all of this on the unknown doctor at Huirentang.
"Well, when my sister gets older, riding a horse will also be a good exercise." Qi Ke listened to what Lin Jinxi said, thought seriously for a moment, and then suggested.
"Xi'er thinks so too. So, Xi'er has already chosen a mount. Haha...brothers, please don't fight with me!" Wow, Kaka, this is a perfect reason to send it to your door! You can let me
From then on, she openly owned the cool little pony - "Ziyao".
"Haha... I did hear Qing Ming from the stable say that my sister likes Hei Tengsheng's black and purple pony very much, and she even gave it a very elegant name...'Ziyao'
Right?" Qi Ke smiled and talked about what he heard from the stable a few days ago. He didn't believe it at first. A little girl who was less than six years old and didn't even know a single Chinese character could actually get a word that even their brothers could use.
They all thought it was a good name that was elegant enough and flattering. Afterwards, I guessed that Fujin must have come up with it for her.
"Yes, yes, brothers have seen it too, right? Isn't it very beautiful? Very elegant? There is an arrogant but etiquette aristocratic temperament all over your body?" Lin Jinxi couldn't bear the mention of the little pony that she was extremely optimistic about.
He couldn't help but hold her soft and rosy cheeks, blink his bright dark eyes, and throw out a long list of compliments. The two brothers Qi Ke and Qi Chen were completely stunned on the spot.
Is this... praising the little pony? Even if it is used to describe the Manchu royal family and nobles, it is not an exaggeration.
"Ahem..." Qi Ke was the first to come to his senses. He clenched his fist to cover his mouth and pretended to cough slightly, intending to bring back Lin Jinxi who was wandering in the sky again. "Sister... cough... Since I like 'Ziyao' so much, I will talk to Amma
He said, I must leave it as a gift for my sister."
"Okay! Thank you, brother!" Lin Jinxi came back to her senses and nodded hurriedly to thank her. With his words, it will be enough. Let's see who else dares to compete with her in the future. Well, I heard that she also has a brother who is one year younger than her.
Although she is only two years old, her sister is no weaker than her. They were both born from Fei Yanggu’s concubines. I wonder if she is the domineering type? If she had the temperament of the twin brothers in front of her, that would be good.
.
But unfortunately, the age difference between her and her twin brother is too big. Even if she wants to sneak out of the house with them to play, they may not be willing to let her do it.
As for the two little brats who were younger than her now, let's forget about it. She never liked being the king of the kids, nor did she like being the nanny. She was thankful that they didn't bother her.
"Girl, why are you the only one? Isn't Fujin here? Where is the maid serving you?" Qi Chen, who couldn't calm down, had already walked around the halls downstairs while Qi Ke was talking to Lin Jinxi, looking around.
Later, he returned to Lin Jinxi and asked in confusion.
"Oh, my mother just went out before you guys came. She said it was her family's birthday and she went to congratulate Fujin. Mo'er went to the big kitchen to get me some milk. He should be back soon."
Lin Jinxi didn't even know who the so-called Fujin from his Taira family was. She just heard from hearsay that the cheap lady had explained it to her and that he seemed to be one of her close friends.
Originally, Minrong wanted to take her daughter with her. Lin Jinxi also wanted to see the banquet held by the noble women of the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, she was only five years old and could not attend the banquet.
Um...I heard from Fujin from other mansions that the people he and his family invited this time were all the matrons of each mansion, and they didn't want to drag their families with their families, especially the Huangkou children who were still far away from Jijiqi.
Therefore, the cheap lady had to repeatedly warn her daughter and her son, and then she took Xia'er out to the banquet without feeling relieved. Lin Jinxi was sure that the cheap lady would be the first guest to come out of his house. So,
She doesn't have much free time to play.
"Milk?" When Qi Chen heard these two words, he pinched his nose and stared at Lin Jinxi strangely, "You also like such unpleasant things?" She is indeed a fat girl who loves to eat!
"It's not bad to drink!" Lin Jinxi blinked and looked back at Qi Chen with a satisfied expression that looked like a delicacy in the world, while she was laughing in her heart.
She tried many times and finally came up with a formula that could remove the fishy smell of milk. It would be an exaggeration to call it a secret recipe. Because according to the cook, the milk that wealthy families in the capital usually drink is
This kind of fishy smell is very strong. It is only because in recent years I heard that drinking milk can make women's skin white and tender, that some women in the aristocratic circles have taken it seriously. How had such an unpleasant drink been served to the table before?
When Lin Jinxi first heard about it from the cook, she was very surprised. You said that the fresh milk was decisively classified as an unpleasant drink by the cook, which she could understand. However, goat milk, which is more odorous than cow's milk, is the breakfast choice in the house.
One, isn’t this strange?
Later I learned that before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, sheep were the Jurchens’ favorite livestock because sheep were more tolerant of cold than cattle. Therefore, goat milk gradually became one of the main drinks of the Jurchens. Of course, they also knew how to use it
Goat milk is adjusted so that there is almost no odor. Just boil goat milk and jasmine tea together. The rich fragrance of jasmine tea can cover up the odor of goat milk. But this trick is ineffective for milk. Therefore, milk has always been
Not very popular among the Manchu nobles.
Lin Jinxi's method is very simple. Squeeze the juice from the ginger, drop it into the boiled milk, and then add an appropriate amount of honey.
Dang dang dang - Bingo! It's exactly her winter favorite of Lin Jinxi - ginger juice with milk!!
After trying the seasoning no less than a dozen times, I finally found the same mellow and delicious taste as the ginger juice with milk I once drank in a hot drink shop!
Of course, only she, Mo'er, and the cook know this secret recipe. No one else knows it. She is not worried about the secret recipe being lost, but she is worried about the milk being lost. Now she can drink a large bowl of fresh milk every day. That's because
No one in the house competed with her.
If there is a very simple method that can remove the fishy smell in milk, she believes that the aunts, sisters and brothers in the house will definitely fall in love with this fresh milk, which is an absolutely delicious hot drink?! Then her "five shortcomings"
Can the short stature of "three thick" can be improved as soon as possible?!
But then again, if she spreads this secret recipe, wouldn't the dairy farmers in the capital become prosperous? Oh, no, how can such a good money-making opportunity be allowed to be enjoyed by others! After all, she
It is only fair that the creator of the secret recipe deserves a share of the drink!
