Happy Marriage

Xue's mouth is really dull these days. I am accustomed to eating delicacies from mountains and seas on weekdays, and I have never lost my mouth. The past few days have suddenly become hard, and the dishes are not meaty and fishy, ​​and I feel like eating dry wood.

There is a saying that "from frugality to luxury is easy, and from luxury to frugality is difficult", which probably means this. Before I climbed up to Xia Yuanwai, my family was in decline, and I didn't come from the same hard times.

The two daughters have never suffered, and they are both complaining. There was no choice but to let Xue Zhao buy meat and fish from the street, call his two daughters, and hide in the house secretly to satisfy his cravings. I was looking forward to the old thing being wise and consciously returning to the big room.

Thinking of this, she felt some resentment in her heart for An Sheng to provoke the old lady, and wrote down this account again and again, and kept it in her heart.

Xue Zhao came over today and brought smoked pig feet, hoof hooves, and small fish.

Ziwu likes to eat pig's feet the most, while Zixian only likes to eat the few pieces of lean meat in the hoof.

The three of them closed the door and let Mrs. Lian guard the door, then opened the lotus leaf and complained while eating.

"Eating meat and fish is like being a thief." Xia Zixian was a little resentful.

"That's right, mother, why don't we find an excuse tomorrow, let's go out to eat in the restaurant, the smell of Buddha jumping over the wall in the Star Picking Pavilion last time was amazing." Xia Ziwu grabbed the pig's feet with both hands and gnawed, and the lips were full of Oily.

"Actually, Xia Ansheng's craftsmanship is not inferior to those of those chefs. The last time Mrs. Meng came to see her, the dishes she cooked really showed off her skills. Even Mrs. Meng They are full of praise." Xue said slowly while chewing on the small bad fish.

As soon as the Meng family was mentioned, Xia Ziwu gritted his teeth with hatred: "Don't mention the Meng family to me, you will be full of anger when you talk about it."

Xue's expression froze: "Ziwu, I can tell you how self-willed you are in the house, mother doesn't care, the wind from the left and right can't get out of the gate of our Xia family, but you are not allowed to go out and embarrass me!"

Xia Ziwu retorted angrily: "What happened to me? Why did you lose your man?"

"Don't think that I don't know what you did when you excused yourself out of the house last time!" Xue snorted coldly: "You are dressed up, and you don't need to tip me off, I know what your plan is."

Xia Ziwu felt a little guilty: "Is it possible to go out and be as sloppy as at home? Look at my sister and I, wearing a pearl flower on our head these days, we have to weigh it again and again."

She wanted to change the subject, but in the end she was unable to do so. Mrs Xue still taught her heartfelt words: "You go to the door of Meng Jinglun's academy, there are so many students coming and going, from a big girl's house, standing there and being scolded. It's not ashamed for a man to comment in secret! Meng Jinglun shouldn't give you a good look, right?"

Xue's words were merciless, Xia Ziwu said angrily: "I just went, I just went to find Meng Jinglun, so what? Could it be that I can only stay in the mansion every day, waiting for the 'time' you said? Over time, Meng Jinglun is afraid that he will forget me."

"It's alright to forget, isn't the past enough shame?" Xia Zixian made a stab at it quietly: "I'm in a hurry to go around people, and people who come to the door are not welcome."

"Xia Zixian, your mouth is full of feces, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Ziwu was already angry when she heard Xue's reprimanding herself, and now that Xia Zixian also stepped in, she was in a hurry. He stood up with a bang, and threw the bones in his hand towards Xia Zixian's face.

Xia Zixian stretched out her hand to block it, her bones knocked against the back of the chair, and then landed under Xia Zixian's feet.

"Shut up for me!" Xue Shi snorted coldly: "So much meat can't cover your mouths!"

Xia Ziwu sat down angrily: "What do you think she said?"

Xue glared at Xia Zixian, then turned around and reprimanded Xia Ziwu: "What your sister said, it's not rude! Let it go? It's not about buying and selling."

Xia Ziwu snorted coldly and said proudly: "You don't know, last time I went to Meng Jinglun Academy, I saw that they were putting up a list at the door, and they were putting up the exam results of the students in the academy. Meng Jinglun came out on top. I listened to those scholars on the side. It is said that Meng Jinglun's name on the spring list next year is a sure thing, and maybe he can still take the top spot and third flower."

"What you said is true?" Xue Shi asked in surprise.

"Why do you think I'm so hard-working? You said that Meng Jinglun's knowledge, and he is a descendant of the Meng family. If he is appreciated by the emperor, the future will be boundless. Isn't Xia Anran the first lady? We sisters are afraid I will be trampled under my feet for the rest of my life, and I can't lift my head up."

"Who can blame this? You didn't do it yourself?" Xia Zixian unceremoniously opened Xia Ziwu's scar: "Otherwise, it's you who will honor the family today, so why look at the glory of others?"

Xia Ziwu suddenly became anxious again: "If you talk nonsense again, I won't tear your mouth apart!"

Xia Zixian didn't need to pretend in front of Xia Ziwu, and immediately sneered: "Just tell the truth, when you came back that day, you were disheartened and angry, and you knew that people must not give you a good look. I'm afraid you will be embarrassed in front of everyone. must."

What Xia Zixian said was the truth. On that day, she waited for an afternoon in the tea house at the entrance of the academy, and finally waited for Meng Jinglun to come out and rushed over there impatiently. Who would have expected Meng Jinglun to be serious in front of people, but there was no such thing at all. Ignoring her, he got on the carriage waiting outside the academy and left.

As soon as she patted the table, she wanted to attack Xia Zixian.

Outside the door, even the old lady laughed loudly: "Old lady, oh, why are you here in the dark?"

All three people in the room were stunned. Xue was the first to react: "What are you still doing? Hurry up and pick up the things! If they are found, it will be ugly."

Xia Zixian also immediately recovered, and the three of them hurriedly wrapped the food on the table, including the bones, in lotus leaves again. The table skirt was firmly blocked.

"Mouth! Quickly wipe your mouth!"

Xia Zixian pointed at Xia Ziwu's glossy mouth.

Xia Ziwu didn't care about anything, raised his sleeves and wiped the oil stains on his mouth.

Outside the door, footsteps were getting closer.

Madam Lian reminded loudly: "It's dark in the yard, you wait a moment, I'll quickly turn on the lights, be careful of the steps."

"No need, Sister Zheng has a lantern in her hand." The old lady said as she walked: "You can go while you are busy."

Hearing that he had reached the door, Mrs Xue hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door wide, smiling at the old lady: "Mother, why is it so late, your old man hasn't rested yet?"

As soon as the door opens, a mouthwatering smoky aroma hits you.

Zhenjicheng's lo-mei is famous all over the capital, because every day when the pot is opened, the scorched millet and brown sugar, mixed with the squeaking grease, licked by the firewood, exudes incense. , can overflow the whole street.

The old lady snorted coldly in her heart, and her face suddenly sank: "I have nothing to do, I came out for a walk, I happened to come to your place, and I came to have a look when I saw the lights in your room."

Xue Shi smiled embarrassedly: "I'm testing Ziwu and Zixian's homework in the daytime. I've disturbed your old man."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the fishy smell of the small fish came out.

"Just in time, let the old lady open her eyes and see how you taught the two sisters." The old lady said as she walked in. Xue didn't dare to stop her, and hurriedly stepped aside.

Xia Ziwu and Xia Zixian were standing at the table, and on the table were half-embroidered embroidered stretchers and several colors of silk thread.

The two saluted the old lady's blessing, and they were very well-behaved.

"Have you eaten dinner?" the old lady asked pretendingly.

"I ate it as soon as the sun went down." Zi slender voice said.

The old lady nodded: "Even if the family is poor, but these two children are growing up, so the second child's family can't treat them badly."

Shi Xue was guilty of being a thief, and only felt that there was something in the old lady's words, so she could only respond with a smirk: "You always say very much, even if you wronged yourself, you must not wrong the children."

The old lady looked around and said, "Don't make the children work too hard, especially Zi Xian. She has bad bones and can't bear it."

Mrs Xue responded as usual, and hurriedly pushed the old lady to the side of the couch: "You old man sit here and ask Ziwu to pour you a cup of tea."

"Don't bother, I just came out of tea." The old lady was still standing: "Just say a few words and leave."

The little white dog walked around in the yard, then jumped into the house, and in one bite, he picked up the pig's trotter that Xia Ziwu used to beat Zixian, and lay down and nibbled with relish.

The lights in the room were dark, and it was impossible to see it clearly. An Zheng stepped forward and rushed forward: "Doudou, why are you eating indiscriminately!"

This time, Doudou was reluctant to let go, so he picked it up and got under the table.

This frightened Xia Ziwu and Xia Zixian, and hurried out: "Go out, go out!"
