Chapter 55 Young Master Xu Huizu: My Sister Is Completely Screwed!
Brother and sister Xu Huizu tied their horses to a tree outside the small fenced courtyard.
They looked at each other, suppressed their laughter, and crept close to the small gate of the fence.
Look inside...
Looking through the window, Xu Miaoyun held her chin and lowered her head.
"Sister A must be reading." Xu Miaoyin was very sure and said softly: "She is always like this. She likes to read whenever she feels irritable and ups and downs."
"The fact that I can still read the book proves that my brother-in-law's departure has little impact."
As he said that, he pointed to the small gate of the fence.
Xu Huizu carefully held the door and opened the small door without making any noise.
The two of them hunched over and walked in with gentle steps.
Quietly coming to the window, Xu Miaoyin pulled Xu Huizu and squatted against the wall outside the window.
Take a few deep breaths, look at each other, nod, hold back your laughter, and stand up slowly.
Expose your forehead and stop when you can see Xu Miaoyun.
Xu Miaoyun was staring at the book in a daze, unaware that her younger brother and younger sister were climbing out of the window to peek.
Thinking of what the two of them did when Zhu Di left, her pretty face turned red and a bright smile couldn't help but appear on her lips...
I kept thinking about it, and remembered the historical records that corvee labor was hard and cruel, supervised by officials, and beaten or scolded...
His face turned from red to white, the smile on his lips disappeared, and he pursed his lips tightly in worry.
Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin looked at each other in astonishment, slowly squatted down, and their heads disappeared in front of the window.
"Is this what you mean by not having a big impact?" Xu Huizu said softly in a very low voice: "Look at my sister's face, her face is red and her smile is sweet. I have goosebumps all over my body..."
"It turned white again after a while, with pursed lips and a worried face."
"Sister, I'm totally falling on my brother-in-law!"
"Where can I find the way it was at home before getting married?"
"Is it so scary to get married?"
Xu Huizu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh...
Xu Miaoyin stared with a smile, smiled and said softly: "Brother, what do you know! Sister is happy!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Miaoyin stood up straight, folded her arms, and looked at Xu Miaoyun in the window with a smile.
Xu Huizu also stood up, and like Xu Miaoyin, he crossed his arms and looked at him with a teasing smile.
Seeing that Xu Miaoyun was still immersed in her own world and didn't notice it, Xu Miaoyin smiled and called out: "Sister?"
Hearing the sound, Xu Miaoyun was slightly startled, and then slowly raised his head...
The younger brother and younger sister stood outside the window, folding their arms and looking at it teasingly.
"Huizu! Miaoyin!"
Xu Miaoyun stood up in surprise, "Why are you here? When did you come?"
cough!
Xu Huizu coughed, suppressed laughter, and said seriously: "Dad asked us to come to help. As for when we will come..."
The corners of his lips raised slightly, and he said: "For a while, we saw someone, with a red face and a sweet smile, and for a while..."
Ha ha……
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Huizu could no longer hold back and started laughing.
Xu Miaoyin also laughed and squatted on the ground, continuing to smile.
Seeing her brother and sister who couldn't stop laughing, Xu Miaoyun's face turned red instantly, and she walked out quickly, warning with a smile: "Don't laugh anymore!"
"Everyone come inside!"
After saying that, he turned around and entered the house with a red face.
Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin followed in with a smile.
After sitting down at the table, Xu Miaoyun poured water for the two of them. The two of them held the water glasses and sipped the water while peeking at Xu Miaoyun with a smile. It took a while before their smiles calmed down...
Xu Huizu put down the water glass, changed the subject, and asked: "Sister, I'm here today and I'm going back today. Please tell me what heavy work is needed at home.
"I'll do it quickly."
"Just cook me a hearty lunch."
"I want some apricot flower wine, I want some eels, and do you still have that pheasant?"
"The Queen used these things to prepare a royal meal. When my father came back from the palace, he couldn't even close his mouth with smiles!"
"That way, let alone being hated by others!"
puff!
Xu Miaoyun was amused and glared angrily, "I have them all. Sister will make them for you at noon."
"As for the heavy work, it's all ready before your brother-in-law leaves."
"Here!" Xu Miaoyun stood up, came to the door, and pointed to the west side of the yard: "That pile of chopped firewood was prepared when your brother-in-law received the corvee call order."
"A lot of rhubarb and small black grass were also cut, and part of it was dried in the sun..."
…
Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin followed them to the yard and looked at the neatly stacked firewood, bundles of fresh grass beside the cowshed, and the large water tank in the yard filled with water...
After reading the whole thing, Xu Huizu murmured to himself, "Now, I finally understand why, sister, you were so completely fooled by your brother-in-law!"
puff!
Xu Miaoyin smiled and stared, holding Xu Miaoyun's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, please ignore me. Since there is nothing else to do, let's go into the house. Dad said, let me stay with you. , until the brother-in-law comes back.”
"Really?" Xu Miaoyun asked in surprise?
Xu Miaoyin smiled and nodded.
Xu Huizu looked at the back figures of his elder sister and younger sister entering, raised his hand and picked an apricot that was about the size of his thumb and had begun to turn slightly yellow.
He put it in his mouth, chewed it, and muttered: "It's sour! It's so sour to death!"
…
noon.
The aroma of rice fills the small courtyard.
Xu Huizu sat at the table, gnawing on a piece of bone, swallowing dates while chewing: "No wonder our father went to the palace to eat once, and when he came back, he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. It was really delicious."
"Eat slowly." Xu Miaoyun smiled and put some chopsticks into Xu Huizu's bowl. "Try this. It's also delicious."
As he said that, he picked up the same dish for Xu Miaoyin.
The brother and sister looked at it and didn't recognize it, "Sister, what is this dish?"
"You try it first." Xu Miaoyun urged with a smile.
The two picked up the unknown vegetables in the bowl with curiosity, put them in their mouths, and chewed slowly.
"Hmm, delicious!" Xu Huizu swallowed it in big mouthfuls, and picked up a big chopstick himself.
Xu Miaoyin chewed it slowly and ate it. She couldn't help but take the initiative to pick it up. At the same time, she asked curiously: "Sister, what kind of vegetable is this? It's refreshing and delicious."
"How can it be eaten in the countryside, but not in our family?"
"This is Purslane, a very common wild vegetable in the countryside, and also a very common medicinal material. Even if it tastes good, the wealthy families in Jinling City will definitely not lower their status to serve a wild vegetable on the table."
Xu Miaoyun smiled and explained: "Pick it and rinse it with boiling water, then soak it in cold water for later use."
"Add wild garlic that is common in the village, a few drops of oil, and some salt."
"Such a dish, with staple food, is a meal for rural people."
"Although it can't be on the table of wealthy families, it is an authentic delicacy. After coming to the village, sister followed the aunts in the village and learned a lot of knowledge about managing the household."
...
Xu Miaoyin listened carefully and smiled lightly. She didn't hear complaints about life from her sister's words.
A few wild vegetables, a few drops of oil, and a few grains of salt can make a delicious dish that will whet your appetite...
Simple and yet revealing the ordinary happiness that makes Sister happy.
Xu Huizu didn't even eat meat. He put the purslane cold dish into his mouth and said, "Sister, I like it, and my father must like it too."
"Since there is nothing important."
"In the afternoon, can you take me to pick this kind of wild vegetables?"
"As many as you have, I'll take as many as you can. The more the better."
"If there are other delicious wild vegetables, pick some too."
"I'll take more. When I go back, I'll send some to the Queen."
Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "There are many kinds of wild vegetables beside the canals and fields in the village. If you want to eat them, I'll take you to pick them in the afternoon."
...
In the afternoon, the naughty children heard that the master's wife's younger brother liked to eat wild vegetables, so they also joined the picking.
When Xu Huizu was about to return, the horses that the brother and sister rode on could not carry them all.
I had to bring Xiao Hei out to transport the goods.
Three horses, bags and baskets full of stuff.
In addition to the pickled food and apricot wine that Xu Miaoyun asked to take home, there were all kinds of wild vegetables.
"Brother, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others for entering the city like this?" Xu Miaoyin deliberately joked before leaving.
It was really spectacular!
"What are you afraid of? Brother has satisfied his appetite, and others can say whatever they want!" Xu Huizu said without caring.
After that, he said to Xu Miaoyun: "Sister, I will take good care of Xiao Hei. Come back in a few days and I will bring Xiao Hei back."
Xu Miaoyun nodded and reminded: "Be careful on the road."
"I know."
"Let's go!" Xu Huizu shouted, full of vigor and vitality, shook the reins, led two horses, swaggered through the city and ran away, straight into Jinling City...
