When Zhou Wenjia felt bitter, Ruyi led the little maid to serve three snacks and placed them on two tables.
A plate of red dates and glutinous rice cakes, and the bright red dates were cut in half from one side, without the bottom, and filled with snow-white glutinous rice.
A plate of fried rice cakes with sugar, which was golden and covered with thin golden red sugar.
The last plate was purple potato balls, which were as big as two lychees, and there were a circle of sesame seeds rolling outside.
Ah Xun sat in Cheng Yu's arms, looking at the most attractive red date glutinous rice cakes with good eyes, and raised his head to urge Cheng Yu, "Cousin, pick it up!" He opened his mouth, and saliva flowed down from the corner of his mouth.
The two tables were very close. Ningzhu and Fang were sitting outside the female table. Ningzhu and Hanzhu sat side by side, and were diagonally opposite Cheng Yu and Axun. Therefore, the two sisters saw Axun's drooling look clearly. There was too much saliva. Cheng Yu didn't expect that Ningzhu quickly took out a handkerchief and came over to help the little guy wipe it.
"Why are you so greedy? Didn't you make delicious food for you every day?" Ningzhu pointed Ah Xun's nose.
Ah Xun pointed to the plate and defended himself: "I haven't eaten that one! I haven't eaten this one, I haven't eaten it!"
Ningzhu was stunned for a moment. She had eaten all of them. Her favorite food was the rice cake fried with sugar. My sister hadn’t made it for the little guy?
Fang smiled and said, "Axun must have eaten the things, but it's not like this. Han Yatou is skillful. I don't like sweet food and I'm greedy after seeing them. Oh, let's not talk about them anymore, I'll try them first." He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fried rice cake. There were not many rice cakes in Beijing, and Fang looked fresh.
Everyone started to move their chopsticks.
Hanzhu looked at her sister next to her first, and saw that her sister had picked up two slices of candy and stir-fried rice cakes in a row. Her cheeks were bulging, and she couldn't help but feel satisfied. She loved watching her sister eat the most, and the more delicious her sister would eat, the happier she would be.
As he looked, his eyes quietly glanced at the opposite side.
Cheng Yu was feeding A Xun the glutinous rice with red dates. One was too big. He used chopsticks to pick it up in half from the middle and handed it to A Xun's mouth. The little guy leaned against his cousin's arms, chewing his mouth, and his big eyes turned back and forth in three plates. Seeing Zhou Wenjia picking up rice cakes, he quickly finished eating what he was in his mouth and pointed at the rice cakes.
"Don't eat Ah Xun," Hanzhu hurriedly reminded, "Children's stomachache will suffer from eating rice cakes."
Such a young child, rice cakes are not easy to digest and it is difficult to chew. Hanzhu made this for his sister.
Cheng Yu took back half of the chopsticks. Hearing this, he paused and brought the rice cake to his mouth under A Xun's gaze. After eating, he touched the little guy's head: "A Xun listened to his sister, his stomach hurts and feels uncomfortable."
A Xun was unhappy and wanted to eat. After begging several times, his cousin refused to agree. He reached out to his aunt next door, "Hug me!"
He will like whoever gives him food at this moment.
Hanzhu couldn't help laughing, and watched Fang take the brat over. Just as he was about to scold him, he noticed someone was looking at her. Hanzhu looked over nervously and met the man's gaze that was unknown.
Hanzhu immediately lowered her head, her face a little hot, and she was afraid that someone would see it, so she picked up the tea bowl to cover it.
Cheng Yu silently withdrew her gaze, but her smile could not be gone.
The first time he saw her smile, he was gentle and gentle, like a pink peony blooming quietly in spring. Because it was quietly blooming, he could easily be attracted by famous products such as Wei Zi, Yao Huang, etc., but as long as his eyes swept over her, he would immediately forget the peony in the garden, and only this one was left in his eyes.
I was so surprised that the chopsticks were slowing down, and the purple potato ball that I saw was picked up by the person on the other side. To be more precise, it was a robbery.
Cheng Yu looked at the other few in the white porcelain plate and looked up.
Zhou Wenjia didn't look at him and bit most of the purple potato balls in one bite, as if it was his enemy.
Cheng Yu didn't understand why the young man was angry, it was not a big deal. He changed to a purple potato ball clip. Two lychee-sized balls were swallowed in one bite, and Cheng Yu clamped them into four and a half, and his movements were skillful. Just looking at the white and slender hands, coupled with such meticulous movements, people would feel like a gentle man. When they looked up, they found that this person had nothing to do with gentleness. When they were with their relatives, their faces were also cold and ruthless.
Seeing that he put the purple potato balls into his mouth, Hanzhu couldn't help but feel a little sweet in his heart.
He had tasted all three things.
"Why don't sister eat it?" She didn't move her chopsticks for a long time. Ningzhu asked in wonder, picking up the purple potato ball and putting it on her sister's plate, "Sister likes it the most... Last time, my sister said you like to eat purple potato the most, try it." The little girl was smart enough and changed the word temporarily. After all, unless you take the initiative to tell others, you often know after getting along for a long time.
Hanzhu smiled at her sister, lowered her eyes, and carefully clamped the purple potato balls, and her movements were exactly the same as Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu looked at her rosy lips and pursed her gently, feeling a little thirsty, and brought tea to drink.
"Cousin, what month will your prince be married next year?" The man kept looking at his sweetheart, and Zhou Wenjia was furious. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly.
Cheng Yu glanced at him and said, "April."
Zhou Wenjia smiled, "It's his turn to marry me, right? Is there someone I like?" He turned his head and asked A Xun, "Does A Xun want a little nephew? If your cousin marrys a cousin's sister-in-law, you can give birth to a little nephew for you, who is younger than you."
Cheng Yu lost his appetite, put down his chopsticks and stood up, saying to Fang, "Some colleagues came over there, I'm here too, my aunt will use it slowly." He left with a cold face.
The atmosphere in the warm chalet was stiff.
Fang glared at the second son fiercely, "I know your cousin is most annoying to someone urging him to get married. You still don't want to pick up any pots, are you deliberately unhappy?"
Zhou Wenjia said indifferently: "He is twenty next year. A few days ago, didn't my mother say that she hoped that my cousin got married soon? My uncle doesn't care about him. I don't worry about him anymore. If I don't help my cousin choose someone who suits me, who knows what kind of uncle will choose for him?"
Fang's expression dimmed.
The fiancee of Cheng Duo, the prince of Prince Jing's family, is his cousin, the Wu family girl. The old master of the Wu family was originally just a fifth-rank official. Although the daughter was beautiful, she was not eye-catching among the beauties in the capital. Somewhere along with the will of King Jing Cheng Jingrong, she married her and became the first princess. She went there not long after giving birth to her son. Later, the Wu family was released from Shanxi and her status was even lower. Last year, Cheng Jingrong made such a marriage for his son, and people in the capital said that he was not concerned about his eldest son.
Cheng Duo is the eldest son of the royal family and the prince. Cheng Jingrong has been so hasty about the marriage. It is her turn to be the more embarrassing nephew. Can she expect Cheng Jingrong to choose a family for her nephew?
But she told Cheng Yu that her nephew said that she had not wanted to marry a wife yet. At first, her nephew had the patience to explain, but in the end she simply made an excuse to leave as soon as she spoke, which made her worried but dare not say it. Moreover, the women's families were smart. Even if their nephew had the ability, they would not want to promise their daughter to the second child who was sandwiched between the prince and the beloved young son. In the future, there would be a sister-in-law who was not close to the care of her, and a mother-in-law who was not close to the care of her...
Thinking of this, Fang lost his appetite.
Hanzhu doesn't want to eat it anymore.
What do you want to do and see what he does? What does it matter if he loves to eat what she makes?
He said in person that she would not get married after six years, and he had already given birth to children, right?
People have never thought about her at all, so why should she always think about those meaningless intimacy? He just wanted to save her.
The adults have their own thoughts, and only Ah Xun eats happily.
After sitting for a while, Fang took Ningzhu and the other two to the big room, "Come here after using Aunt Xi."
Hanzhu went out to see off the guests.
Watching the few people go away, Hanzhu was about to go back when Ruyi came to her ear and whispered.
Hanzhu was shocked.
"Sister, I still want to eat dates." Ah Xun didn't know why his sister stood outside and didn't go in, so he pulled her to leave.
There are three entrances in the Lotus Courtyard. Hanzhu and his brother live in the second entrance. The warm pavilion used to entertain guests is in front, and there is a study next to it. Hanzhu first sent A Xun back to the warm pavilion and coaxed him, "A Xun will eat date cake here first, and my sister will go to the back to get things, okay?"
"Then you come back quickly." Ah Xun said obediently.
Hanzhu kissed the little guy and left Ruyi Sixi here to accompany her, and she went to the study by herself.
It was very quiet inside, with elegant decorations in the room without any figures.
Hanzhu pursed her lips and slowly walked towards the bookshelf in the north. She walked slowly in rows and two rows. Finally, when she caught a tall figure, she stopped. Hanzhu did not turn in and stood outside the bookshelf and asked him, "Are you looking for me?"
Cheng Yu put down the book in his hand, walked towards her, stopped only one step later, and asked in a low voice: "How are you doing here?"
He sent her in and could not ignore it. If she had any place to help, he would be willing to help.
It turned out to be inquiring about the situation.
Hanzhu turned his head and replied: "It's great. The Marquis is dedicated to compensating me and A Xun. He will come to talk to us every day. A few days ago, he said he wanted me to be a housekeeper and start after the New Year. As long as I am careful about my identity, there should be no accident."
Cheng Yu was silent for a moment, picked up a book beside him, and read it casually, "What do you think of Chu Qing as a human being?"
Hanzhu thought about it carefully and whispered: "It's not good to say that as a father, he didn't take good care of his daughter. But that has nothing to do with me. Now he is good to me and A Xun, and I don't think much about the others."
Her voice sounded nicely, and her ending sound was completely gone. Cheng Yu realized that she was holding the Book of Songs, a line of words close to her fingers, "A beautiful lady is a gentleman, a good friend", as if she was reminded.
After closing the book, Cheng Yu turned around and reminded her, "Chu Qing is a romantic person. You should know a little about the woman in his yard. After all, you are not his biological daughter. It is best to keep a distance when dealing with each other, just in case."
Hanzhu's face changed drastically, and she looked at him in disbelief, "He, he will never be right...I am his daughter now..."
The first time I heard about such a ridiculous thing, Hanzhu felt uncomfortable in his chest and his pretty face turned pale.
Cheng Yu didn't want to scare her and said embarrassedly: "I didn't mean that. I was afraid that you would accidentally reveal your feet and be found out that you are not his biological daughter. This is because he was in danger... I don't know how you got along with Ling Zun, and my cousin doesn't like to act coquettishly with him. Although you pretended to forget, he wouldn't doubt it if he didn't do it."
Hanzhu still felt uncomfortable. She finally saw Chu Qing as half of her father, but now she was uncomfortable again.
My sister likes to act coquettishly with her father. In addition, she is young and often lets her father hug her. When her father buys a gift, her sister will throw herself into her father's arms. Hanzhu has never done this. At least when she grows up, her physical contact with her father is at most, that is, her father touches her head, and she will hold her father when she can't stand.
Did Cheng Yu say this to her as a woman who loves to act spoiled? Did he think she would pounce on Chu Qing’s arms?
Beitie bit his lips, Hanzhu said coldly, "He doesn't know my identity, but I know he is not my biological father. Nowadays, I will respect him as my father. There will never be any inappropriate things, and there will be no coquettish behavior. You don't have to think too much."
The girl's next two sentences were extremely angry, and she felt aggrieved that she had been wrongly accused and slandered. Cheng Yu understood that she had misunderstood and wanted to explain, but she frowned and stared at the ground, because she was standing facing him. Although her red lips were just a little pouting, she might not know it, but he could see it.
Looking at the increasingly seductive red lips, four words appeared in his mind, "It's good to be happy and angry."
A beautiful woman looks nice even if she is angry and has a unique taste.
No matter how beautiful she cried, Cheng Yu would not lose her composure if she saw too much, but when she showed such a rare delicacy, Cheng Yu looked straight at her eyes.
He didn't say anything for a long time, Hanzhu turned around and said, "There is nothing else. I'm leaving. Ah Xun is still waiting for me."
Cheng Yu's eyes changed, and after she took two steps, she spoke, "Did your aunt mention you and Wen Jia at the village that day?"
My aunt is kind-hearted and she is a good girl. Since my cousin likes her so much and then likes her, my aunt will probably lead to this marriage. If she agrees, he will lose a burden. Otherwise, he will have to find a good marriage for her six years in six years to be worthy of the six years she wasted.
Hanzhu looked at the carved window in front of her. The sun was shaking outside. She stood in this dim place, feeling cold all over.
He asked why this was for? He warned her to keep a distance from Zhou Wenjia?
"Yes." She said with her back to him, waiting to hear him continue to "recommend".
Cheng Yu's eyes fell on the light green plum blossom embroidery pattern of her skirt, and his voice lowered. "Wenjia is a bit reckless, but he likes you very much. If you think he is suitable, marrying him in the future will be a good choice."
This time she was not reminded to abide by the rules, but Hanzhu was not happy at all.
She raised her head slightly and said to the window at a high place: "I said, I don't need you to arrange a marriage. I just want to leave here with my sister in six years. Since you have coerced me to enter this marquis' mansion, you don't have to pretend to be me. If this continues, I won't appreciate it. I just think you are hypocritical. What qualifications do you have to interfere in my marriage?"
At the end of the day, the voice trembled and the crying could no longer be concealed.
Cheng Yu was shocked. As soon as she took a step, she had already covered her mouth and ran away, and disappeared at the door in a blink of an eye.
Cheng Yu was stunned and it took him a while to figure out why she was crying.
She didn't want to marry her cousin, and she didn't want to. She felt that he was forcing her again, so she cried.
He should have a headache. After six years of headache, he still has to worry about her. But for some reason, there seems to be something in his heart...
It cleared up.
