Ye Jiao didn't see Qi Yun's expression, but she didn't mind the sudden rooster crowing.
Qi Yun thought she was as beautiful as a painting, but Ye Jiao, who was the person in the painting, didn't think she was any different. She just wanted to touch the snow on the plum blossoms.
The man said before that boiling water with plum blossoms is sweet, so Ye Jiao wanted to taste the sweetness of the snow on the petals.
Seeing that Qi Yun didn't move, Ye Jiao continued to turn her head and tap the petals with her fingertips.
The plum blossoms trembled slightly, the woman's fingertips were slightly cold, and there were some silver-white snowflakes on them.
She stared at it and wanted to put it in her mouth.
Qi Yun was thinking about whether to drink chicken soup or chicken with sauce tonight, and was about to ask Ye Jiao's opinion when he saw his wife put her finger in her mouth.
"Jiao Niang." Qi Yun hurriedly stopped her, walked over and held Ye Jiao, "What should I do if I get sick in such a cold weather?"
However, Ye Jiao's tongue had already touched the snow on her fingertips. She pondered the taste and muttered, "It's a bit cold, but not sweet."
Hearing this, Qi Yun couldn't help laughing and laughing. He dragged Ye Jiao's hand into his fur coat to cover it, and said in his mouth, "Snow naturally has no taste.
Ye Jiao let out an "oh", and then looked at the basket that Qi Yun was carrying.
There was also a pair of scissors in the basket, and Ye Jiao curled the corners of her mouth: "Are you going to start picking plum blossoms now?"
"Well, do you want to try it?" Qi Yun said, handing her the scissors.
Ye Jiao excitedly took the scissors, and cautiously stood on tiptoe to cut the plum blossoms, but after doing it twice, she was not willing to continue.
Putting the scissors back into the basket, the little ginseng shook his hand: "I'm very tired."
Although the plum tree is not tall, most of the petals on the bottom are incomplete, and Ye Jiao has to stretch out her hands to get the complete ones.
One or two times is enough, and after a long time, my arms will feel sore.
Ye Jiao didn't have the stubbornness to face difficulties, and besides, picking flowers didn't want to be a life-saving thing like the stone sprout grass. She didn't care if there was Ye Jiao, so she was naturally unwilling to continue doing it.
Qi Yun just let her play, and seeing that Ye Jiao lost her interest, she handed the basket to Tie Zi: "Tell the kitchen to make some plum cakes later."
Tie Zi nodded, took the basket, and then glanced at Xiao Su and asked her to follow.
The two of them have known each other since childhood, and they are about the same age. Tie Zi usually takes good care of Xiao Su, and is happy to drag her along when something happens.
Xiao Su was still worried that her own Xiao Hei would get into the pot because of that voice just now, so she kept walking and immediately followed Ye Jiao.
There is nothing in this garden except for the plum blossoms. Even the stone tables and benches are covered by snow and cannot sit, so there is really not much to see.
Perhaps those sentimental literati and writers can make famous stories about this snowy landscape, but Ye Jiao and Qi Yun have both plum blossom cakes in their heads and their own ladies in their heads, so they are not in the mood to watch the scenery. son.
At this time, there was a gust of wind. It was not big, and even the snowflakes on the flower branches couldn't blow, but even the breeze felt extremely cold in winter.
Qi Yun still held Ye Jiao's hand, turned slightly to shield her from the wind, and said, "Jiao Niang, come back."
"Okay." Ye Jiao nodded in response, but when she was about to reach the Moon Cave Gate, she saw an object placed in the corner.
It is folded with bamboo, it is a shelf, in the shape of a triangle, the front side is leaning against the wall.
Ye Jiao couldn't help but look at Qi Yun: "What is this?"
Qi Yun glanced at it and said, "It looks like a paper kite, but it's not finished yet."
Ye Jiao blinked: "Paper Yuan? Is it fun?"
Qi Yun didn't say anything this time. After all, he usually doesn't go out of his courtyard. Before, he was waiting for death. After he got married, he was in the courtyard and study. He urgently wanted to make money for his wife to save, entertainment activities. There really isn't much.
It does happen when I watch others put paper kites, but how can I tell if it's fun just by looking at it.
Tie Zi took a step forward with a wink and replied, "Second young lady, it is very interesting to fly a paper kite, it can be made into various shapes, if you add a whistle, it will become a kite, and it buzzes like a kite when flying. , it's interesting."
When Ye Jiao heard this, she immediately became curious.
Qi Yun glanced at Tie Zi, and it was clear that this kid was usually taciturn and didn't like to cause trouble, but now that he was so diligent, Qi Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, but didn't speak.
After that, I heard Tie Zi say: "Sometimes some feathers are attached to the back of the paper kite, and they are swaying, which is extraordinarily beautiful."
Ye Jiao didn't know what Zhi Yuan was supposed to look like, but when she heard Tie Zi say that, her eyes were filled with curiosity and love.
Qi Yun glanced at Tie Zi with a half-smile but not a smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and Tie Zi lowered his head directly and did not dare to look at him.
But soon, Qi Yun's slow voice came: "Don't we have a black chicken at home? Just pluck its hair."
Xiao Su stiffened suddenly, but did not dare to speak.
Tie Zi lowered his head and replied, "Xiao Hei's tail hair hasn't grown up yet, it will probably take a while."
"Then wait." Qi Yun knew in his heart that Tie Zi was protecting that stupid big cock, and he didn't want him to stew it.
As for the reason, it's probably not because Tie Zi likes the chicken a lot, but because Xiao Su likes it.
But Qi Yun didn't break it, instead he directly responded to Tie Zi's request.
Xiao Su heard this, her eyes lit up, the little girl smiled, and answered loudly, "Thank you, Second Young Master!"
Although it is distressing to let Xiao Hei's tail go bald again, but what is more important than life
The hair is gone!
Tie Zi was stunned, looked up at him, saw that Qi Yun had already pulled Ye Jiao away, and Tie Zi hurriedly dragged Xiao Su and trotted after him.
When the two of them were sent to the outside of the yard, neither Tie Zi nor Xiao Su followed, but Qi Yun paused at the door, turned his head, and reached out and patted Tie Zi's head lightly.
Tie Zi was uneasy in his heart, and he honestly lowered his head and let Qi Yun pat it.
Then, I heard the man's indifferent voice: "Decorate the paper kite with chicken feathers, thank you for thinking about it."
Even though it was a cold winter day, Tie Zi felt a layer of sweat on his back.
But Qi Yun didn't say much, just said: "Silly boy, let's not set an example, let's go." After speaking, he stopped looking at him and took Ye Jiao in.
Xiao Su looked at Qi Yun's back in a daze, then looked at Tie Zi, and reached out to pull him: "Brother Tie Zi, is the second young master angry with you?"
Tie Zi shook his head, his voice was a little hoarse during the voice change period: "I'm not angry this time, but next time it won't be so."
He wasn't talking nonsense just now, paper kites had a whistle and chicken feathers attached to them, but Tie Zi was really careful when he said it out loud.
The second young master heard it, but he still responded, as if he didn't want to bother with him.
But during the time Tie Zi followed Qi Yun, he probably understood Qi Yun's temper. He had already used up half of Qi Yun's tolerance towards him. If he wanted to follow Qi Yun in the future, he had to be honest and not lie to him. he.
As Qi Yun said, the following is not an example.
It's just that Tiezi is a little depressed that he just took such a big risk just to save a chicken...
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Su tugged at his cuff: "Brother Tie Zi, it's cold, shall we go roast sweet potatoes and eat?"
Tie Zi turned his head to look at her, met the little girl's face, and the depression just now disappeared.
There was a smile on his face. When the young man spoke, because it was too cold, there were bursts of white mist when his mouth opened and closed: "Roasted sweet potatoes are boring, I saved some jerky, let's go, I'll bring it to you."
"it is good!"
By the time Zhi Yuan was delivered to Ye Jiao, it was already a small year.
Tie Zi and Xiao Su made a total of two, one with a whistle and one without, but they both had beautiful black feathers on their tails.
The feather contributor was Xiao Hei, probably to make Qi Yun feel relieved, Xiao Su ruthlessly plucked out all the hair on the tail that Xiao Hei had managed to grow out, and the big cock that was hit stayed in the nest for several days. Crying in the morning is exhausting.
And when Zhiyuan delivered it, it happened that Dong was also there.
Now, Mrs. Dong would come over to talk to Ye Jiao every few days. The two of them tended the herbal flowers together, or discussed the herbal experience with each other, and the relationship became closer and closer.
When Zhiyuan put it on the table, Dong's face smiled and said, "I liked to play with this thing when I wasn't married, but I didn't put it away after I got married."
Ye Jiao didn't ask the reason, because she could see that the Dong family wanted a child and was extremely nervous about her body.
When Zhiyuan was not ready, she saw Xiaosu trying to let go, running and jumping. Dong's previous children fell and died, and now she is afraid to try.
Ye Jiao asked Xiao Su to put away Zhi Yuan first, and then play when Qi Yun came back. Then she smiled and looked at Dong Shi, and said, "I said I wanted to give you something before, remember?"
Mr. Dong nodded, and then saw Ye Jiao came out with a jar.
This tank was originally Qi Yun's idle pen washer, but Ye Jiao asked for it, filled it with water, and put the auspicious grass that had grown in it.
At this moment, the auspicious grass is no longer the wilted appearance of the original, but the flowery branches, the petals are thick, and it looks vigorous.
Upon seeing it, Mr. Dong let out a "huh", and reached out and touched it with great joy.
She is a drug addict, and she has been fascinated by these things since she was a child. Now, seeing that the auspicious grass that she planted was in Ye Jiao's hands, it was revived. Dong looked at Ye Jiao with great excitement: "Jiao Niang , how do you know this is going to be planted in water?"
Ye Jiao smiled back and said slowly, "I think it should grow here."
This is not a lie, Ye Jiao saw a lot when she was a small ginseng.
However, Mrs. Dong thought that Ye Jiao had tried it out, with a smile on her face: "Jiao Niang, this is what you said you wanted to give me?"
Ye Jiao nodded and said bluntly, "This flower is good for your body. If you keep it in the house, it will be good for you."
Although Ye Jiao has seen that this flower is useful to foxes, it is not known whether it is useful to humans, but she has to try any method.
Although Dong Shi didn't know the real use of this auspicious grass, since it was given by Ye Jiao, she naturally had to take good care of it.
What's more, the auspicious grass that couldn't survive in the past suddenly came alive, and Dong's baby couldn't come. I'm afraid she would not let her lose the auspicious grass.
After receiving Ye Jiao's things, Mrs. Dong got up, sat beside Ye Jiao, and hugged her and said, "I've come right now, and it's fortunate that I brought something to send you before I came, otherwise I'll get your benefits in vain. I can't get over it in my heart."
Ye Jiao blinked, thinking of the basket of petals that Dong sent her before, Ye Jiao said, "I haven't used up the petals last time."
Dong shi narrowed her eyes with a smile at her, leaned over to Ye Jiao and said, "I won't give you the petals this time, come here, this is for you." After speaking, she took out a blue cloth from her bosom. Bag.
Ye Jiao took it and pinched it: "Book?"
Dong shi smiled and said: "Yes, books, this booklet is very rare in the market. I got two copies, so I will give you one copy."
In addition to sending flowers and plants between married women, it is not uncommon for married women to send things to each other to increase the fun.
Moreover, Mrs. Dong had also heard about Ye Jiao's mother's family. She only thought that the family was not a thing. I heard that Ye Jiao was pushed onto the sedan chair when she got married, and there was no dowry when she got married. However, the fire avoidance map that should have been in the dowry was never given.
She looked at Ye Jiao and Qi Yun getting along so well, and she usually just mixes oil with honey, so it would be especially appropriate to give this by herself.
However, the title of this book was new to Ye Jiao, and the simple little ginseng couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?"
Dong shi smiled mysteriously: "You will see it later, and you will know."
