Chapter 55 Painting (1)

Knowing that Sheng Yanling and Miss Wu were going to invite Miss Huang to be their guest, Mrs. Li quickly took out 20 taels of silver: "Tell them to set up a good table, as there are very few girls in our family."

After thinking about it, he took out 20 taels of silver, "Now in August, it's time to eat crabs. Let the cook cook a table of crabs, and warm a jug of orange wine for the girls to drink."

The second young lady is quite virtuous and kind, "Then I will add another 20 taels of silver to buy them some crab meat?"

Crab scorpion is also called salted crab and crab scorpion, which is derived from the method of making crab scorpion by flooding it with salt.This is something that cannot be obtained in one day. It takes three to five days to get a few good-tasting ones, and the cooking is very complicated.

Miss Huang will come to visit tomorrow, and it's too late to make it at home, so I can only go out and buy it.After hearing this, Mrs. Li clapped her hands, "Where you want your money, it will be paid from the mansion. Not only they eat it, but we also eat it. My mother and I have never eaten crabs this year."

So make a big deal out of it.I also sent a few to the old lady.The old lady will be leaving in a few days, she is packing up her things, she is in chaos, she is not in the mood to eat crabs, and she is a person with a cold body, on weekdays, she is mainly warming up, and it is impossible to touch crabs, so she scolded: " The bitch is too deceitful, my son is really bewitched!"

When the servants below heard this, they bowed their heads and knelt down. The old lady was so angry that she broke several glass peony bowls.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li made up a few more iron bowls for her, and said with a smile: "You are getting old, and it is normal for your hands to shake. It's just that your majesty is simple by nature, and has repeatedly told the courtiers not to waste. It cost a lot of money to smash the bowl, so my daughter-in-law decided to make you a set of iron bowls, which look good and are not heavy, but they will never break."

The old lady was so angry that she almost fainted. When Li saw her, she curled her mouth and left—why was this old woman so angry? When she gave birth to Princess Shun, she suspected that Princess Shun was not the daughter of Duke Ning, and she wanted a latte Basin to suffocate the baby.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li became angry, and went back to cry a lot. The anger in her heart was relieved, and she happily took out 20 taels of silver to Sheng Yanling and Wu girl, "Buy another set of eight crabs, I heard There is a new style of eight pieces of crabs in Kyoto, we have finally received a guest, so we can’t belittle them.”

Yan Yanling counted the silver, "80 taels of silver... Can we eat so much? There are only three of us."

Miss Wu: "It's enough to be serious, and there's no need to buy all the banquets. Let's add some extra money when the time comes, and then treat mother and second sister-in-law to dinner."

Sheng Yanling praised her, "Fifth sister, you are really thoughtful."

But Ms. Huang was still frightened by their solemnity, and she exclaimed when she saw the crab, "You just came out, and you bought it."

He said again: "Oh, I'm really flattered, next time I come, can I still have this kind of treatment?"

Yan Yanling chuckled, "It depends on whether we have enough money."

Miss Huang shook the painting in her hand, "I brought something good, just because of this painting in my hand, you all want to invite me again."

Yan Yanling was curious, "What painting is it?"

Miss Huang played riddles, "I won't talk about it, you can read it after you eat it, otherwise I'm afraid that you will lose your mind and your soul will be taken away, and you won't be able to eat this table of good crabs."

The fifth girl didn't believe it, "What kind of good thing is it?"

Miss Huang: "Eat first, eat first. I haven't eaten this kind of food for several years. People often say that the salt crab with gold paste is red. Let me see if your salt crab is red."

Fifth Miss and Sheng Yanling looked at each other, but had no choice but to eat the crab first.While eating, I forgot about the painting, because Miss Huang likes to inquire, and this time she inquired about some more things.

"Then Song Qingyun said that he wants to become a monk!"

The feast bell snorted, and the fifth girl took a sip of the orange wine to get rid of the fishy smell, and said, "You should be a monk. If he hadn't interfered in the past, Miss Mo would not be able to marry Yu Xingzhi now, and the banquet bell wouldn't have to accept it." humiliation."

This is something Miss Huang doesn't know!Her eyes are bright, like a wolf that has seen its prey, and their eyes are bright, "Sister Xixi, tell me!"

This is what she loves most.Miss Wu froze, knowing that she had missed something, she deeply felt that what the sages said was true: drinking was indeed a mistake.

Her mind was dizzy, and she couldn't remember what the sages said. She only remembered that although Miss Huang loved to inquire, she could tell what could be said and what could not be said, so she made her swear, "It involves Miss Mo and Yan Ling." Qing Yu, you can’t say it.”

Miss Huang nodded quickly, while Sheng Yanling sat and listened to them.She was clearly included in what was said, but she felt as if she was out of it.

Until Ms. Huang scolded Song Qingyun that she had received retribution and cut off her children and grandchildren, and that she was not worthy of anyone, she hugged her and cried, "My good sister, you are suffering, come, let's have a drink—if you don't dislike it, marry me Brother, although my brother is a pedantic person, he is good-looking and loves to read, so he is one of the top among scholars."

The banquet bell was a little moved.Miss Wu quickly pointed out the shortcomings of Young Master Huang, "He's too old!"

When Ms. Huang heard the word "old", she immediately stopped her flag and drums, and silently wept for her brother, holding the jug, "Yes, my brother is a bit old."

Yan Yanling laughed, "How big is it?"

Miss Huang couldn't help but say, "25."

Sheng Yanling was surprised, "It's ten years older than me."

The fifth girl was aggressive, "Well, you Huang Zhengqi, it was a waste of us to treat you as a sister, and specially made a table of crabs to entertain you! You, you, you—are you worthy of the name of righteousness?"

She was so angry that her hands were shaking.

Miss Huang Zhengqi immediately regained her upright look, "I'm just talking, really, I'm just talking."

He muttered softly again, "My elder brother is really good, these years will be a waste of his studies, otherwise he will be the number one scholar."

Speaking of which, Young Master Huang is also a young talent.When he was young, he also became famous in the Imperial College like Yu Xingzhi and Song Qingyun, but he soon stopped reading sage books and fell in love with farming instead.

That's right, farming.He once said bluntly, "Can reading make crops grow in the field? Can reading make the people full? Let's plant the land."

His wish is to grow something that can fill the stomachs of the common people.So he turned his face to the loess and his back to the sky every day, and swore that he would not marry a wife until the people were full.

Master Huang was so angry that his heart ached, and he sighed all day long.

But Miss Huang Zhengqi likes brother very much, "He can't be regarded as deviant, he is dedicated to serving the people. It's just that no one understands him."

Hearing the feast bell, he immediately liked it, "Brother Ling is really admirable."

Fifth Girl: "But he's too old."

Sheng Yanling still had some disagreements, "My husband is only 25-[-] years old, and he doesn't look old."

As soon as Miss Huang heard that there was something interesting, she hurried forward to talk about her brother's benefits, but Miss Wu glared at her angrily, "You bully honest people. Come on, finish eating and drinking, you're about to show up." Take a look at your paintings, if you dare to talk nonsense, you will be ripped off."

Miss Huang had no choice but to open the painting dejectedly.

The rolled up painting unfolded little by little from her sluggish hands, and she said: "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to show you what Sui Lanshi, who has the same name as me, looks like. Let me tell you, he really looks like Mo Shang. Mr. Ruyu, you look so good..."

As a result, when she looked up, she saw Sheng Yanling staring blankly at the person in the painting. After half a ring, her eyes quickly turned red, and big drops of tears just fell into the wine glass.

Miss Huang didn't know why, so she was also taken aback, "It looks good... just look at it more... don't cry..."

She was puzzled and said: "Sui Lanshi is good-looking, but she is not so good-looking that she can cry."

 Today is even more expensive.It will be changed in the next update.See you tomorrow.
