Chapter 88 Not asking for trouble
Zhou Family, Jinyuan.
When her nephew came, Mrs. Su started busy early in the morning. She planned the menu according to everyone's tastes, ordered her servants to go out to buy ingredients, decorate the flower hall, etc.
Every time Su Jiu came, Mrs. Su would hold a private banquet in her yard before the house banquet. Ms. Su felt that most of them drank at such banquets and were not comfortable eating, so every time she would hold a private banquet in her yard first.
Host a meal so you don't have an empty stomach at dinner time.
After so many years, it has almost become a habit. Su Jiu always goes to Jinyuan for lunch every time.
Su Jiu and Zhou Yanqing had just finished their salutes when the eldest maid Zi Sucai of the Su family's house came in, curtsied and said: "Madam, the young lady has left the house."
Su asked: "Can you tell me where you went? Who went with you? Honeysuckle or pinellia? When will you come back?"
Zi Su: "Lonicera went with me. I didn't say where exactly I was going to celebrate the Spring Festival, and I couldn't tell when I would return. I just said that all the newly steamed rice dumplings in the small kitchen were put into food boxes and taken away."
"Huh? But you went to Zuiyue Hall?"
Seeing Zi Su shaking her head in denial, Mrs. Su was extremely surprised. She didn't come to Jinyuan, listen to Yuxuan, or Zuiyue Hall, so where did this girl go with a box of rice dumplings? She went out for a walk, etc.
Ordinary food is out of reach.
Zhou Yanqing let out a sudden sigh, and then closed her mouth tightly with a cryptic expression. No matter how much Su asked, she would only say one sentence. You can ask her in person when she comes back.
"This girl, we won't be able to question her properly when she comes back." Mrs. Su said angrily, "Let's eat and ignore her. Since we went out with the rice dumplings, we won't starve her."
Zhou Yanqing:......
This is truly his mother. Since he is going to see He Beiting, he will naturally not be hungry for her. But if this continues, he is worried that his sister will become the wife of the He family before she can get hairpins.
Su Jiu glanced meaningfully at Zhou Yanqing. He had always been well informed. He knew about He Beiting before entering Beijing, and could guess a thing or two from Zhou Yanqing's reaction. But what he didn't understand was that his cousin, who always had his eyes on the top,
Why do you think so highly of that He Beiting? You don't have much time back in Beijing this time, so why did it get to the point where you even have to steam rice dumplings to give him away?
After Su and others finished their meal, they returned to the Ming Room from the flower hall. As soon as they sat down, before the tea was picked up, Zhou Sining came, holding a white porcelain fruit plate in his hand, which was filled with a plate full of bright red wine.
of cherries.
As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Mom, brothers, take a look at what I brought back?"
The Su family hosted a banquet for cousin Su in the Jinyuan. Zhou Sining was supposed to come over, but it was He Beiting's fault for causing harm to others. He lost her heart with just a simple smile.
So after she returned home, she obediently washed the cherries she brought back and held them in her hands as an apology.
Mrs. Su looked at the big and red cherries with some curiosity. The fruits are fresh and thin, and people like the Zhou family never lack them. When the cherries were on the market in April, Mrs. Su also ate them, but they were not as big as this.
And the important thing is that it is May now, and all the cherries on the market have been sold out. There are no more cherries if you want to eat them. Where did she get them?
With this thought in mind, Su asked the same question.
Zhou Yanqing also looked at his sister with a fun expression on his face, wanting to see what she would say. Before he could gloat about the misfortune, Zhou Sining blinked to stop himself.
"He family." Zhou Sining said: "He Beiting knew from somewhere that I like to eat cherries, so he bought dozens of cherry saplings from outside and planted them in front of his yard. Although only four trees survived, but
The fruit is very dense and large enough. The most important thing is that it is one month different from the ordinary cherries here. You don't know how strange I was when I saw those cherry trees.
There are just ripe fruits today, so let me pick some and bring them back for everyone to try."
As he spoke, he picked a big red cherry from the plate and handed it to Su, saying: "Mom, try it quickly. The taste is different from ordinary cherries. It's sweet and refreshing. I'll eat this whole plate in one go."
Not even tired of it.”
Mrs. Su glared at Zhou Sining angrily, but she couldn't bear to brush her daughter's face, took the cherry and ate it in her mouth.
"Well, it's sweet and refreshing. You all should try it." Su Shi's eyes lit up as soon as she bit into it. This cherry suited her taste very well. Zhou Sining liked sweetness, while Su Shi preferred sweet and sour taste.
Although this cherry is sweet, it also has a hint of sweet and sour crispness. The meat is thick and juicy, and it is indeed sweet and refreshing when you bite into it.
"I know He Niang's taste. There aren't many ripe fruits on the tree. I picked these and washed them and got three plates in total. I gave one plate to my grandfather, one plate to my mother, and one plate to the two of them.
Brother’s Ting Yuxuan.”
Zhou Yanqing gave a similar look, then reached out and took one and put it into his mouth. In his opinion, the taste of these cherries is not particularly good, but it is better because of its size, thick meat and juiciness.
A mouthful of fruit pulp fills your mouth in one bite.
Su Jiu also tasted two cherries in a dignified manner and commented in his mind, but hey, he has seen cherries bigger than this one elsewhere.
Seeing that both Su and Zhou Yanqing liked food, Zhou Sining said: "He Beiting said that the four trees will mature in two batches, and the fruits on the two trees will begin to mature now. The other two trees will take about ten days and a half to mature.
There will be ripe fruit, which means we will have fruit to eat in the next month.
My mother and brother both like it, so I will pick some and bring them back tomorrow."
Su poked her forehead with a finger, "Are you ashamed? Do you pick the fruit from the fruit trees planted by others every day? It's a favor for you to eat it once. There is no reason to come to ask for it every day. Please be careful.
Save your face."
Zhou Yanqing also laughed at her, "Who says it's not the case? Just pay more attention."
Although Su Jiu was also smiling, there was no smile in her eyes, and she felt a little annoyed in her heart. It was too late in the end, and everyone in the Zhou family had already accepted He Beiting.
Zhou Sining pursed his lips with a hint of grievance and said, "That was planted for me. What's wrong if I pick it? If I don't pick it, I'll leave it to someone else."
Zhou Yanqing said: "Mother, look at her, she is so thick-skinned..."
Zhou Sining was about to retort when he heard Su Jiu say: "Yes, cousin, it's not good for the girl to run away like this all the time. If word spreads, people will gossip."
"Even if I stay in the house all day without showing my head, there will be no less gossip about me." Zhou Sining spread his hands and said with a look of helplessness: "I can't help it, I was born with gossip, and I can get myself into trouble wherever I go.
.”
Su Jiu wanted to say that if you follow me to Liuzhou, there will be no such thing. But he never said this out loud. He was afraid that if he did, he would not even be able to be brothers and sisters anymore.
But he still had to abduct this man to Liuzhou, after all, his grandmother had been looking forward to him for so many years.
"Aunt, my grandmother's health has been getting worse over the years, and she misses her and her cousin every now and then. Next month is my grandma's 60th birthday. I wonder if my aunt and cousin..."
Sixtieth birthday.
Yes, my mother is already sixty years old, and I don’t know how many years she has left.
When Su Jiu mentioned the old lady of the Su family, Mrs. Su felt a little sad. She had only gone back for her father's funeral since she got married.
A daughter who is married far away...
