The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 45
Pointing at An Ran, Qian Ning was annoyed and funny, and finally stomped his feet and said, "So you like to eat? What's the problem? I'll ask Brother Qi to bring you delicious food back later! Tell us another story! "

An Ran bit her finger, looked at Qian Ning with round eyes and said, "Really, you are not lying to me?"

"Of course, I'm a man, I won't lie!" Qian Ning assured, patting his chest.

An Ran thought for a while, picked a short paragraph to tell them, and then refused to talk any more.In desperation, Qian Ning had no choice but to agree to lend the book to An Qi, so that he could explain it to himself when An Qi went back to school and listened to it.

The three children left the study and went to play in the yard.

In the twelfth lunar month, apart from two plum blossoms, there was only one pine tree to see in Qian's garden.

An Qi suddenly pointed to the plum blossom tree and said, "This flower is so beautiful! But it's not as beautiful as the peony embroidered by my mother!"

Qian Ning glanced at the plum blossom and said disapprovingly, "Can your mother also embroider peonies? My mother can also embroider. But I don't think that flower is beautiful, and real flowers are more beautiful. We have two pots at home. It will bloom next spring, I will take you to see it!"

Anqi couldn't bear others to say that the things embroidered by his mother were not good-looking, so he blushed anxiously and said seriously: "My mother gave your mother the screen embroidered with peonies and golden pheasants. You can see it tomorrow after reading it." I'll know if I lied to you."

"And the golden pheasant? I haven't seen a golden pheasant since I grew up! Is the golden pheasant good-looking?" Qian Ning suddenly became interested.

"Of course, the golden pheasant's feathers are very beautiful, and the red ones and the blue ones are so beautiful!" This time, An Qi was proud.

"Then I'll let my mother find it and have a look." Qian Ning left as soon as he said that, and now he was going to look at the screen.

An Ran was in a hurry.Mrs. Wen is so busy now, how can she bother her with such a trivial matter?What's more, with so many wives giving presents, if you just find out the gifts from their family in advance to see, it will get the limelight, and I'm afraid it will also cause trouble.

An Ran quickly grabbed Qian Ning and said: "Second Young Master, don't worry. Anyway, I gave it to Madam, when will it look different? Madam is so busy now, we better not bother her with such trivial matters. Since you like birds, Why don't we go catch birds and play!"

As soon as Qian Ning heard about catching birds, he immediately became interested.You must know that this is one of his major hobbies, but he has never caught a bird except for a few eggs in spring.

"How to catch? How to catch? Have you ever caught birds? I heard that there are many birds in the countryside? Is it easy to catch?" Channing was excited.

An Qi was about to speak, but An Ran rushed ahead of him and said, "I've seen people being caught before, but I haven't tried it, why don't we try it?" Then, An Ran talked about the people she had "seen" being caught. The bird method is said to have really caught many birds.

Naturally, An Ran learned this method from Run Tu in her previous life, where did she see someone try it?But speaking out, to the ears of the two children, they felt that it was very feasible.So, Qian Ning immediately gave orders to those who wanted this or that, causing several women and servants to run and sweat profusely.

At this time, a handsome boy of seventeen or eighteen turned out from behind the rockery.He looked at the three excited children, especially the youngest An Ran several times, with a playful smile on his lips, and left quietly.

With the second young master Qian Ning around, everything they needed would be ready soon.The three of them pulled the rope and hid behind the big tree, watching the birds in the yard traversing and eating in the snow, and slowly walked to the bottom of the cage.

Channing was so excited that he pulled the rope more than ten seconds earlier, and the bird was frightened and flew away without catching it.

Qian Ning beat his chest and stamped his feet for a while in annoyance, An Qi also blamed him in his heart, but he was embarrassed to say it, but An Ran still clapped his hands and laughed happily.This matter does not lie in the ability to catch a few birds, but in the joy of catching.

But the so-called failure is the mother of success. After two failed attempts, they finally managed to catch a sparrow on the third time.

The three children were so happy that they were caught by the servants, tied their feet with strings and put them in a bird cage.Qian Ning personally carried the birdcage, and took Anqi and Anran brothers and sisters to the front to find their mother to present treasures.

Before it was time to eat, Mrs. Wen entertained the female relatives in the warm pavilion, and placed a few heaters in various inconspicuous corners. Although there was a thick layer of snow in the yard outside, it didn't feel cold inside the house. .Many ladies have removed their oversized clothes, revealing their exquisite waists.

Exquisite snacks and tea were prepared on the coffee table, and the red plums that had just been cut in the morning were placed in the vases. The wives and grandmas of each family were drinking tea and eating snacks, while admiring the flowers and gossiping, which was very lively.

Without waiting for the notification, Qian Ning ran in with the birdcage, excitedly held it up to Mrs. Wen and said, "Mother, mother, look, this is caught by my son himself, and I gave it to you as a birthday present. Mother, do you like it? "

The wives and grandmas present didn't seem to see that the sparrow was in the cage, and they all kept praising the second young master for his cleverness and filial piety.

Seeing her two children coming in after Qian Ning, Gu Wanniang quickly pulled them over, touched their red faces from running, and touched their hot palms from running, and she was relieved.Then they took off their big clothes, revealing the jackets embroidered with flowers inside.

In this era, cotton was not widely grown, and naturally there were no cotton-padded jackets to wear.Poor families always put reeds or kapok in their clothes as jackets in winter, while rich families can only wear fur coats to keep out the cold.An Ran didn't go out much last winter, but the situation at home is different this winter. Everyone has one or two cheap rabbit fur jackets, which are really warm to wear.But this year's snow is particularly heavy, much thicker than last year.I don't know how those poor people will live this winter.

But Wen said helplessly looking at the panicked sparrow that kept screaming and trying to escape in the bird cage, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.But under the expectant eyes of her son, she finally couldn't help laughing and said: "You child, it would be great if you have such a cleverness to use in reading. By the way, tell mother and ladies, how did you catch this sparrow?" ? This thing is amazing!"

Qian Ning nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right! We caught three times and changed places three times, and finally caught one." How did Qian Ning sprinkle wheat on the snow, and how did he get someone to find a small cage? Rods and ropes, and I will tell you how I watched the sparrows enter the cage to eat wheat and then quickly pulled the rope to catch the birds.
