Bitter bamboo shoots were soaked in cool well water overnight. In the morning, they were blanched in boiling water and mixed with red oil. Clap a few cloves of garlic, grind the oiled peppercorns, and put a handful of fragrant coriander on top. It was hot.
Pour vinegar water on it and sprinkle some fine salt casually, and it will be the ultimate delicious food. A big bowl of golden millet porridge, and a piece of green onion pancake, the life of a god is just like this.
Today is a leisurely day. The first and fifteenth day of the lunar month are the days when Li Chengqian and Li Tailei can't help but pay respects to their parents. Yun Ye also has a rare leisure day.
I just had breakfast, chatted with my grandma for a while, and talked with my aunt and aunt for a while about Da Ya's marriage, and then I was going to take Xin Yue to go boating on the Dongyang River. Xiao Qiu couldn't go, and now I have a huge
My belly is not comfortable at all, so I married a young manager at home last year.
Xin Yue didn't know what she was thinking. Xiaoqiu was married and was still the maidservant by her side. This was rare in wealthy families. Xiaoqiu's husband was also a capable man praised by everyone in Yunjiazhuang. He had accumulated a lot of wealth.
Xiaoqiu's business was enough to order more than a dozen maids, but Xiaoqiu refused to do it. Although she no longer lived in the Yun family, she would definitely appear at the door of Xin Yue's room at dawn every day, waiting for her wife to order her.
Yun Ye couldn't say that Xiaoqiu would cry loudly as soon as he mentioned the matter of changing the maid, and Xin Yue would also say that her husband was heartless. Xiaoqiu had served her husband and wife for so many years, so there was no reason to change her just because she asked.
In fact, this is very inconvenient. People are getting married, so some things are inconvenient, and sometimes it will attract gossip. Yun Ye told his concerns to the housekeeper, Lao Qian, and wanted him to think of a good idea.
Who would have thought that Lao Qian's old face would turn red, and he said angrily: "Master Hou, what kind of bastard is talking to your ears? Xiaoqiu is married, but in our house, she only serves Master Hou and
Madam, our family is a clean and good family. Over the years, there have been dirty things done by those in the wealthy families. The maids are just to do things. Earn their own wages, come in clean, and clean.
When you go out, you don't know that it is difficult for a maid from other people's family to marry a good family. When our maid goes out, she is rushed to get married by a good family in the village.
Our family is full of good people, and the Marquis has a reputation for being invincible in battles. His wife is also well-known in Chang'an for being a virtuous housekeeper. Our ancestor is also a person who has been praised by ancestor Yan in person.
, the ladies are also kind people. Although some of them like to tease people, this is also the nature of children. When you grow up in the past two years, this matter will no longer matter. Mr. Hou, you don’t have to worry about these things at home, old slave eyes
Wherever it is lit, things that are insulting to the family will definitely be put to an end."
That's good. Your home is a place where you can rest when you're tired. If it's smoky, noisy, and annoying to death, you can carry a big bamboo basket with a basket of food in it. Yunbao puts it on Wangcai's back, and Xinyue dresses up.
She twisted her waist coquettishly and followed her out the door.
Huangshu had prepared the raft early. There was a small wooden boat, but Yun Ye didn't like it. The raft was not as wide and stable. Huangshu grinned and boasted about how strong the raft he had made was. As soon as he finished speaking, Wangcai
After jumping on the raft, the other horses were unwilling to get on the boat to death. Only Wangcai liked it. Once they got on the raft, they pushed the other end up high. The yellow mouse was so panicked that he quickly jumped on the other end and finally saved his own life.
face.
Yunbaobao, who was riding on Wangcai's back, danced happily. He seemed to like the little accident just now. Yunye helped Xinyue onto the raft, jumped on it himself, and pushed Wangcai into the middle. Yunbaobao was also moved by Xinyue.
Holding him in his arms, although he screamed in dissatisfaction, no one paid attention. Seeing Wangcai lying down habitually, Yun Ye came under the tent and sat on the recliner, ready to spend the whole day.
time.
There are a lot of koi in the Dongyang River now, and it’s not just the good guy who poured a lot of small fry into the river, and also feeds them every day, making these red fish hang around in this section of the river.
Go, even if a lot of them were caught by others, you won't leave. Right now, if you look into the river, you can see groups of foot-long red koi swimming around recklessly.
The summer in Guanzhong is completely scorching. Soon after the sun rises, the hot and humid air waves quickly wrap around everyone. Now all the students in the academy are on vacation. Only some students who have traveled far away have not returned. They are not alone.
A shirtless man is struggling to make a living on the Dongyang River. No matter whether his family is rich or not, he is a pauper in the school. The school will not care about the food expenses during the holidays. You have to earn it yourself. Parents keep it in the school.
No one is willing to withdraw the money in the account, which will be despised by the accounting clerk and the gentlemen. Even among the classmates, no one will envy them. They eat steamed buns and pickles with the money they earn, and they use their own money at home.
No one would envy the enjoyment of money, fish and meat.
If it is the beginning of school and you have a delicious dish, a group of shameless people will always come around to help you taste whether the dish is cooked or not, so as not to ruin your stomach, but after they leave, your good
If the food is left on the bottom of the pot, they are merciful, but after the holiday, if you eat good food, if you bought it with your own money, you will still enjoy the previous treatment. If it is your parents' money, everyone will
Stay away from you immediately, no matter how delicious your food is, they would rather eat pickles than touch them. They think it is natural to eat your blood and sweat, and eating your parents' blood and sweat is not something that a college student would do.
So when you see those barefooted, rolled-up trousers young men working hard to support the raft, don’t look down upon them in the slightest. There might be a young master from the governor’s family, or a young master from another family, who would like to earn their own money through their own efforts.
No one in the academy will look down upon you in the slightest, and if you do this, your evaluation will be much better when you graduate.
The Hongcheng family's boat was right behind Yun Ye's raft. He saw a fat girl wearing a red cedar dress tiptoeing to jump onto the Yun family's raft. Yun Ye's teeth were sore and he told Xin Yue to sit down and then
Look at Wangcai sleeping with his head drooped and his eyes closed, unable to bear to see what is about to happen.
The raft bounced violently on the water, and Wangcai was so frightened that he lost all sleep. Yun Ye comforted him for a while before calming him down.
"Uncle Yun, do you know where Gouzi has gone? I have been to his house, and my aunt said that he went to Luoyang and will be back in a few days. Why is there still no sign of him?"
"Girl, next time you have to come over and wait for the raft to reach the shore before getting up. It's not stable. It won't be good if the big girl falls into the river. What do you think of Gouzi? He is helping Xiaoying prepare a new house.
You also know that Xiaoying and Daya's wedding is this year, and they are very busy."
"Uncle Yun, do you think Gouzi and I will also get married this year?" Hearing Hong Guoer's words, Xin Yue covered her mouth and laughed so hard that Yun Ye was dumbfounded by the question.
"Guo'er, are you sure Gou'er will marry you? I think he doesn't seem to be very willing." Yun Ye finally asked after coughing for a long time. The daughter of the Hongcheng family is really very courageous.
Hong Guoer twisted her body in embarrassment and squatted in front of Xin Yue to tease Yun Baobao. Saying those words was already her limit. Now she was just pricking her ears to hear Yun Ye's opinion on this matter.
"What a good girl we have. This little bastard Gouzi is still picky. If such a good girl likes him, she should marry her home quickly and hide her away. How can she be so ungrateful?
"
Yun Ye sighed and looked at Hong Guo'er's thick waist. Xin Yue was obviously talking nonsense. Gou'er was a famously handsome man in Yunjiazhuang. It was said that the ranking was only under Satisfactory. For Satisfactory, girls naturally
They gave up early on, but they were eager to let go of a sunny boy like Gouzi, and Hong Guoer was just the toughest one.
"Guo'er, you need to discuss this matter with Gouzi. You are from a wealthy family and you are the legitimate daughter. You cannot mess around with your identity. It doesn't matter if you tell Uncle Yun like this. If word spreads outside, you
I don’t need dad’s face anymore. In fact, if you look at the students on the river, there are many good kids who hope to get married with your family among the students who are rowing boats. Students who can put down their bodies and earn money by rowing boats. I can guarantee that they will be in the future.
The future is bright, there is no need to find a dog to make yourself miserable."
Not getting help from Yun Ye, Hong Guoer lowered his head sadly and said goodbye to Yun Ye and his wife. He grabbed the side of his boat and climbed up with great effort. As he climbed, he suddenly burst into tears and choked with sobs.
He turned to Yun Ye and said: "Uncle Yun, please help me pass a message to Gouzi. If he doesn't come back by the end of the month, I will marry a fool from the Hou family in Xiangcheng."
Seeing Hong Guoer's fat body arching up to the boat like a maggot, Xin Yue, with red eyes, said angrily to Yun Ye: "Just write a letter when you get back and bring that little bastard back, ruining his innocence.
Want to run away? If Gouzi hadn't seen Guo'er bathing, why would she have married a fool from the Hou family in Xiangcheng? No matter Gouzi wanted to or not, he would marry Guo'er. If not, what do you think of me?
Take care of him."
"It's unreasonable for you to lose your temper. It's not like I saw Guo'er's body and wanted to write a letter. You go and write it. I don't write such unfortunate letters. Guo'er is too willful and has suffered a big loss now. It will take a long time to remember."
That’s fine.”
"Why do you remember things like getting married? Do you think there is any room for regret after getting married? The Marquis of Xiangcheng still owes our family a lot of money. If he dares to marry Guoer, I will let his whole family go drink the northwest wind."
Yun Ye shook his head. Once this woman goes crazy, there is no reason to explain. Xin Yue is now the eldest sister among the women of Chang'an. If she yells, the Marquis of Xiangcheng's family will definitely be in trouble, let alone He Shao, a loyal man.
Goujizi helped him and said that if the Marquis of Xiangcheng's family drank the northwest wind, his family would not be able to drink gruel.
