Chapter 106: Lu Zhai

Chapter 106 Lu House

After dinner, Xie Zhiwei stared at Xie Mingxi to finish the homework he had to do for the day before returning to the yard.

Yuqing brought her a cup of tea, and sipped the crystal clear red soup in the sapphire plum bowl. The floating and floating old Pu'er, the jade bowl and the soup color matched each other, it was pleasing to the eyes, Xie Zhi took a sip, Slightly frowning, "Let's soak in Dahongpao tomorrow!"

It's really easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

Xie Zhiwei thought of this, and asked someone to call Aunt Qiu in, "Auntie, wake me up early tomorrow, and instruct the small kitchen to make some preparations. I will make some snacks tomorrow morning."

It's time for her to reward Lu Yan well. Also, she has to make a final confirmation of whether his injury has healed or not. She can't be young and fall into the root cause of the disease, and it will be too late to regret it later.

The next day, before dawn, Xie Zhiwei got up, put on a half-new dress, went to the small kitchen in front of Fuyun Courtyard, and made Gulachi himself.

Gulachi is a kind of dessert. It is not easy to make. It is made into a paste with chicken broth, soybean flour and cheese, spread into a cake shape, a heavy cake of sugar, pine nuts and walnuts, stacked three or four layers in this way, and finally poured with ghee juice. Soft and sweet, one bite, layer upon layer of taste, sweet but not greasy.

When the sky was bright, Xie Zhiwei had already made a drawer. She asked Bailing to give Xie Zhihui and Xie Zhiqian a plate each, as a thank you for helping her entertain the guests during the celebration banquet.

In addition, after packing two more boxes, there was an extra plate, so Xie Zhiwei packed it in a white agate plate wrapped in silk, and Zi Mo carried it into the main hall of Fuyun Courtyard with her.

Mrs. Yuan was looking at the account book, and Brother Xi was reciting every sentence on the kang under the south window. When he saw Xie Zhiwei coming, even though he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, he still had a small face, puffed up, It was as if someone owed him 800 hanging money.

Xie Zhiwei was puzzled, and after greeting Yuan Shi, he asked with questioning eyes.

On the one hand, Yuan thought it was funny, and pouted, "Your brother is angry with me. The servant girl said, you have to go to make snacks in the small kitchen. I won't let him make trouble with you, no, this is even angry with you." Come on. According to me, there is no need for this little heartless person to bring food."

"I didn't annoy my sister, it was my mother!"

The little guy was so angry that he was angry, and didn't intend to make it difficult for him, so he quickly slipped down from the kang and hugged Xie Zhiwei's leg, "Sister, sister, mother won't let me find you."

Xie Zhiwei knew what his younger brother was anxious about, so he couldn't help laughing, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, eat more later, and when I go back to practice arrows, I will have the strength to draw the bow."

Xie Mingxi was shocked, and hurried to the door to urge the maids, "Why don't you set the table yet? I'm starving, hurry up, don't delay my learning of archery."

"Come on, try this first, my sister made it, see if it tastes good?"

Xie Zhiwei stuffed a piece of Gulachi into Xie Mingxi's mouth, and Xie Mingxi took a bite, the mouth was full of sweetness, the pine nuts and walnuts were ground into pieces, mixed with ghee, overflowing from the soft cake, the taste buds in his mouth seemed to be opened Like a flower, it is so delicious that you can't wait to swallow your tongue.

Xie Zhiwei saw the little guy squinting his eyes with joy, as cute as a satisfied cat, and asked deliberately, "Is it delicious?"

"tasty!"

"If it's delicious, my sister has packed an extra box for you. When you go to the county prince's mansion later, bring it in for the prince of the county. He will teach you how to shoot arrows. Even though he says it's impossible to do the apprenticeship ceremony, we can't lose the etiquette."

Xie Zhiwei also didn't understand, since Xiao Xun was willing to teach her younger brother how to practice arrows, why didn't she let him be his teacher? She always felt that such behavior was not in line with Xiao Xun's current style, and it was definitely not what Xiao Xun said by himself. , Calling the master will call him old.

His person, Xie Zhiwei now looks, is a moody person, he can do whatever he says, and now he can only cover it up with soldiers. Xie Zhiwei figured this out, but he is not in a hurry.

Xie Mingxi ate breakfast quickly, and urged Xie Zhiwei to leave quickly. Yuan Shi didn't want to care about her son at first, and she couldn't stand it any longer, "You have to let your sister eat the food, right?" He stopped talking, and he fidgeted from side to side as if he had a spinning top on his buttocks. Staring at Xie Zhiwei, he tried to get his **** off the chair a few times.

It was so easy, Xie Zhiwei put down his chopsticks, the servant girl brought tea in a small tea tray, and then brought a rinsing bowl, Xie Zhiwei rinsed his mouth, ate another half cup of tea, and then got up.

Xie Mingxi also rinsed his mouth together, the servant girl wanted to serve tea, how could he eat it, he jumped off the chair happily, and took his sister's hand flatteringly, "Sister, let's go!"

Sitting on Xie Zhiwei's Cuiwei Zhulun Cart again, Xie Mingxi was lying on the window looking out at the street scene on the roadside, the peddlers carrying burdens were hawking around, there were tall steamers in the steamed stuffed bun shop, and people lined up for breakfast at the door There was a long queue, and water trucks creaked past the side of the road.

"Brother Xi, my sister will go to the old Caomen Street first, do some things in advance, and then go to Guozi Street, okay?" Xie Zhiwei felt a little guilty. To the west of Shuijing Street, the inner city is half a turn away, at least half an hour.

Sure enough, the little guy's face fell down, he reluctantly touched the bow in his hand, pursed his mouth, and was about to cry, before he agreed, "Okay!"

Xie Zhiwei was also filled with guilt, and stroked his younger brother's head, "Brother Xi, you are so eager to learn archery soon, but you must know that it is not easy to do anything well, and practicing archery is the same. None of the heroes recorded in those books are hard-working. As long as we start doing one thing, no matter how hard or tiring it is, we must persevere. Can you do it?"

"able!"

Xie Zhi smiled and said, "That's good, no matter how hard it is in the future, you have to remember what you promised your sister today."

Lu's house is located in the depths of the old Caomen Street. After entering the street, head eastward and walk to the base of the inner city wall, only to see an inverted seat with white walls and black tiles under the two huge elm trees at the entrance. There is a black lacquer Ruyi door next to it, and there are two simple copper animal heads on the door.

Such an unremarkable house, if it weren't for the two words "Lu Zhai" familiar to Xie Zhiwei on the door plaque under the eaves, she would have thought that she had gone to the wrong place.

"Sister, where is this?" The carriage stopped, Xie Mingxi glanced out the window, and asked in confusion.

Xie Zhiwei nodded towards Zi Mo, and Zi Mo hurried on, walked to the door plaque, and knocked on the door knocker of the animal head.

The door creaked and opened a crack, and the people inside said impatiently inside without even looking out, "Who is it, my master doesn't see any visitors!"

Today's update!

What about tickets?

Xiao Xun: Where is my selling money? You won't skimp, will you?
