In the afternoon of the first lunar month, there had just been a light snowfall. A piece of land was cleared out in the yard and some grains were spread on it, which attracted several birds to drop down and peck. However, this scene did not last long, as a white shadow fell down. After approaching, he made a quick leap and caught a sparrow in his mouth. The other birds flew away in fright and disappeared in an instant!
"Go and catch that little scoundrel!" Qiu Yilan, who was practicing calligraphy by the window, couldn't help but stop writing when he saw this, and told Su He who was studying ink, "I pity the birds after the snow that it is difficult to find food, so I asked people to spread some The purpose of feeding them grains is not to prepare live food for that little rascal!”
Su He held back his laughter, walked outside and opened the door. He called out "Dabai" in a crisp voice. A moment later, a lion cat with flawless white body and smooth fur licked the blood from the corner of its mouth contentedly and followed Su He. After fitting, he came in.
Now that Baymax is an adult, he has grown in size, his destructive power has also skyrocketed, and he is capable of causing trouble. But with his pure white fur, clear mandarin duck eyes, and his unscrupulous attitude of trying to act coquettish and begging for mercy whenever he was punished, he was still favored among the servants.
When meeting Su Hezai, who usually loved him the most, Dabai had no reaction to Qiu Yilan's angry glare. He let out a coquettish cry and climbed onto a low couch, trying to jump to a nearby high table - Qiu Yilan stared at After looking at the low couch it stepped on for a while, he got angry and said, "You wiped your feet with the woven patterned carpet at the door again! That was just replaced the day before yesterday!"
Cats love to be clean. If no one cleans up for them, they have to clean up themselves... But when they clean up by themselves, they don't think too much about it. Su He quickly said good things to it: "Dabai is afraid that he will step on and dirty the couch you rest on..."
"It's you who got used to it!" Qiu Yilan said angrily, "Go back and let someone wash that carpet!"
Su He knew that he didn't care anymore, so he hurriedly said to please: "The ham that Mother Li has stewed for you should be ready soon. Can my maid bring it to you?"
When Qiu Yilan heard this, her writing paused again. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and then she pretended to say: "This... is not good, right? After all, I just ate a cup of chicken soup half an hour ago..."
"In the past three years you have served the princess as a mourner, you have never had any trace of meat or fish."
Hearing what Su He said, Qiu Yilan, who had been running a small stove in the Ruan family for a long time, immediately shrank her head with guilt and said with a dry smile: "This is all what it should be... uh... it should be..."
"My body has been growing again in the past few years. Mother Li and my servant's grandmother both said that you should take good care of yourself now." Su He knew in his heart that Qiu Yilan wished that he would bring the casserole trotters over quickly. Let her have a good meal, but she can't live with her face, so she has to build a ladder for her, "It's already the first month of the year, you are already fifteen, and it's time for autumn - if you don't nourish yourself, what will happen if your body and bones are delayed? manage?"
"That makes sense!" Qiu Yilan said sternly, "Both Mother Zhou and Mother Li are the old people in front of the concubine. The old man's words are absolutely correct - in this case, then go and bring them over. , Oh, give me another pot of bamboo leaves and greens!”
The corner of Su He's mouth twitched: "Wine? Grandma and Mother Li both said that girls' families should not drink alcohol..."
Qiu Yilan, who just said she wanted to listen to the old man's words, immediately retorted: "It's so cold. If you don't drink some wine to drive away the cold, what if the cold air gets into your body?!"
Su He looked at her speechlessly - Qiu Yilan, who had just turned fifteen, was already very graceful and graceful:
Her slender figure is at least half a head taller than an ordinary girl of her age. Mother Zhou and Mother Li both agreed that this was the inheritance from her never-seen father Wang Qiu Zhongyan; The aura of the princess also diluted the charming look of a pair of peach blossom eyes that always seemed to be filled with affection, revealing a sassy and bright look in the delicateness.
The most enviable thing is her skin, which is like frozen jade, so delicate and white that it gives people a faint sense of translucency - if Qiu Yilan two years ago was like a little flower essence walking down from the pear tree, today's Qiu Yilan She is like a fairy who has been banished from the clouds. Her stunning appearance is not the point. The point is her pure and refined temperament that is pure and pure.
... Well, for Su He, who waits for her every day, she is used to this kind of temperament.
The important point for her is: "Princess, how can you look like you have a little bit of coldness entering your body?"
Qiu Yilan was born the day before yesterday. She had just changed out of the mourning clothes she had worn for twenty-seven months. What she was wearing now was not very colorful, but she wore a pine-colored trousers and peony pattern on the narrow sleeves, and a few inches of water were exposed on the skirt. The skirt of the middle coat is tied with a lotus-colored fairy skirt, and the waist is tied with a deep crimson brocade belt - but this is not enough powder to dye the complexion of the cheeks, and the spirit of looking forward to the radiant eyes as bright as stars. Jiner...how much conscience do you have to think that she is not in good health
Anyway, Su He couldn't say such a thing!
Facing the maid's question, Qiu Yilan glanced sideways and understood: "It's dinner today..."
"Princess, you are so annoying! You always bully Dabai!" Su He pouted and went to the kitchen sullenly. Ever since Qiu Yilan found out that Su He treated Dabai better than she did, her threats to Su He changed from "Do this again." "Marry you off" has become "If you don't obey me, you will get nothing to eat"!
"It seems that you are still very useful." Seeing Su He obediently go to the kitchen, Qiu Yilan smiled proudly and said to Dabai, who was already sitting on the high table, wagging his tail and looking down at the study, "Be nice and continue to show off your cuteness." Confuse them! Then I can easily deal with them by bullying you!"
Dabai has no idea that his current status in the eyes of his owner is equivalent to "cat quality", so he is still wagging his fluffy tail leisurely. But just when Qiu Yilan was about to withdraw his gaze, his lazy expression suddenly changed. He raised his ears and listened for a while, then relaxed again.
Seeing this, Qiu Yilan twitched the corner of her mouth, put down her pen, tiptoed into the inner room, and walked cautiously behind the screen -
Sure enough, Jiang Yashuang was dusting the snowflakes from her clothes behind the screen, holding two gorgeous red plums in her hand. Two years have passed, and his already slender figure has grown a bit taller. The boy's handsomeness has begun to blend into the masculinity and fitness of youth. At first glance, he feels that his bones are heavy and his body is cold.
Seeing her coming, he smiled and raised the plum blossoms towards her. The plum blossoms were originally covered in snow, but they were baked by the earthworms in the house. They were melting rapidly, and the snow water dripped down, making them wet.
So Jiang Yashuang had no intention of handing it over to her directly, and just explained: "It grows in the corner of the yard next door. When I passed by the wall, I thought it would go well with the yellow-glazed dance music flat pot on your table."
"Why are you here again?!" Qiu Yilan didn't appreciate his hospitality. She put her hands on her hips and shouted dissatisfied at him, "Didn't I tell you not to bother me?!" She raised her fist at him again. , "Tell my cousin and I'll beat you up!"
"Your cousin has asked me to fight several times in private." Jiang Yashuang walked around her and walked into the inner room. He took the yellow-glazed dance music pot familiarly and filled Huan Shou's basin with some water. After inserting the plum branches, I played with the shape for a while, and when I felt satisfied, I opened the nearby cabinet and took a handkerchief to wipe my face, and said with a half-smile, "Look at the bruises on my wrists, it's because of the hand I moved the day before yesterday. "
Qiu Yilan hurriedly caught up and asked, "Is my cousin okay? I paid filial piety the day before yesterday, but he didn't mention it to me when he came over!"
Jiang Yashuang wiped her face with her hand and said with some disgust: "You care about him so much, how dare I hurt him? In the past two years, which fight has I not suffered a loss in? When did you see him get hurt? "
"Isn't it because you are too weak?" It turned out that speaking to Qiu Yilan was just asking for abuse. She said without even thinking about it, "My cousin's martial arts is very good. Otherwise, how could he not even join the man who is said to be in the martial arts world?" Even the famous Iron Horse Qiu Xia admires him? It’s obvious that you can’t defeat my cousin!”
Jiang Yashuang laughed angrily at her: "I don't dare to fight with your cousin. He has never been polite to me! Even so, I only suffered a small loss. Let me tell the truth: If I weren't afraid If you are angry, the injured person may not be me."
"Aren't you relying on the Celestial Silkworm Armor?" Qiu Yilan said contemptuously, "With this thing, you don't need to protect your body. Do you think I don't know?"
"My father got this by chance in northern Xinjiang. There are not many of them. Only Bage and I have four rooms. The sixteenth brother who is a concubine does not have it. My Bage is because he always gets into trouble, and my grandfather is afraid of him. Someone plotted against me; as his father's legitimate son, he also got one. It was destroyed two years ago, but the one he is wearing now was given to him by his grandmother. "Jiang Yashuang said a little apologetically, "Grandpa and grandma all stipulated it for us. Wear it close to your body, and you are not allowed to take it off except for bathing... If you really have extra, it's okay to give it to your cousin. "
Qiu Yilan said, "Do you think I want it from you?" She just made a point of it, okay? He asked with a long face, "What are you doing here again?"
"Grandma is making some bear paw tonight. I wonder if you like it?" Jiang Yashuang could hear the disgust in her tone and was not annoyed. She said with a smile, "If you like it, I'll ask the kitchen to leave it for you." One serving!”
"Bear paw!" Upon hearing this, Qiu Yilan's eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Jiang Yashuang lovingly, and said delicately, "Nineteenth, you treat me so well!"
Of course Jiang Yashuang would not miss such a great opportunity and immediately pointed to her cheek.
Qiu Yilan rushed up to him and gave him a kiss without any hesitation. She suddenly flashed her long eyelashes and asked, "When will bear paws come?"
"We're making it right now. We need dinner. I'll bring it to you then." Jiang Yashuang was in a good mood. She touched her Songwan hair and said with a smile, "You like it so much, I'll serve you more then." ”
"How many are there?" Qiu Yilan asked greedily, "Are there ten?"
Although Jiang Yashuang had learned from Su He that Qiu Yilan liked meat and vegetables, she did not expect that she would be so greedy. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Can you eat ten of them?" He couldn't even eat them. Is it good to have so many
"I want to keep it even if I can't eat it!" Qiu Yilan's reply once again refreshed Jiang Yashuang's understanding of her lower limit - he sighed, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said helplessly: "Okay Okay, I'll go back and let the kitchen get a few more to stew... Ten, right?"
Qiu Yilan nodded happily, but also worried: "You suddenly increased so much, will your grandmother become suspicious?"
Jiang Yashuang looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "You actually thought that my grandmother would be suspicious? The renovation of the back house of the Duke of Qin could actually be completed in more than half a year. Do you think it wouldn't have been delayed by my grandmother's repeated requests? Will she still live in the other house next door? If she moves back, I can continue to live here, but without the elders as a cover, people will inevitably talk about it when we get married. "
"..." Qiu Yilan was stunned and reluctantly said, "Then there's no need to give me extra bear paws - it won't look bad if the old lady knows about it..."
Jiang Yashuang lowered her head, pressed her forehead against hers, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just said I wanted to eat... Grandma has always been partial to me and won't care about such a trivial matter!"
Qiu Yilan blinked her eyes and said happily: "Since it's under your guise - then I want twenty of them! Anyway, it's too cold now. I'll go to Ruan's house tomorrow, so I can give it to my cousin. Fresh!”
"..." Jiang Yashuang's face darkened, "Your cousin just hurt me. You don't feel sorry for me at all, and you still want me to give him bear paws to patch up his body? I'm so sad!" He pointed out this time Pointing to his thin lips, his thoughts are clearly revealed.
Then - Qiu Yilan grabbed his ears and asked murderously: "Is there any problem with twenty bear paws?!"
"No, no!" Jiang Yashuang said helplessly, "I promise there will only be more! Get it as soon as it's ready!"
"Huh huh, you didn't even bring the bear's paw, you're just trying to take advantage of me!" Qiu Yilan then let him go and cursed fiercely, "Stop thinking so hard, why don't you hurry up and wait for the bear's paw to be done?" good?!"
