Chapter 674: Fighting for strength
When Xia Mingyue arrived at the courtyard where Mrs. He was located, she understood the reason.
At this time, Mrs. He was sitting on the recliner in the yard with a gloomy face. He Lingyun, who was beside him, was comforting him carefully, "Grandmother, don't be angry, my father and uncle are just worried about you, grandmother."
"Worry?" Mrs. He snorted coldly, "I'm worried that I can live two more years!"
"How could that happen?" He Lingyun smiled embarrassedly, "Grandmother, don't think so. It's nothing more than the peace talks between the Great Zhou Kingdom and Jin Weiguo have not been completely confirmed. My father and uncle are worried that the border will start again, and they are worried that my grandmother will not be stable along the way."
"What's more, my father and uncles just asked my grandmother to stay in the capital for a while, and wait until the peace talks are settled. It's not that I will not let my grandmother go to Dexin Garden from now on..."
He Lingyun was very thoughtful, and Mrs. He didn't care about it, but turned her head over and covered her ears with her hand.
Don't listen or not, chant the scriptures.
He Lingyun, "..."
He knew the nature of his grandmother best. Once he identified something, no one could change it. Even if he was forced to stop him, he would have a lot of trouble.
And the elders handed him over this difficult task of persuading his grandmother, which was simply a waste of his life!
He Lingyun's face was frowned into a bun, and he looked at the sky and the earth at a loss, not knowing how to do this next.
But when he looked up and saw Xia Mingyue being led into the yard by the people below, He Lingyun's eyes suddenly lit up.
The savior is here!
He Lingyun stood up quickly, and didn't bother to say hello to Xia Mingyue. He hurriedly welcomed her in, and even shouted loudly, "Is Miss Xia here?"
Xia Mingyue is here?
Mrs. He moved his mind, and his body, who was lying on the recliner, moved, but he lay down immediately after a moment, and said angrily, "Are you a three-year-old child? Is it easy to fool?"
He Lingyun, "..."
Xia Mingyue smiled with a pursed lips and said, "We don't know if the old lady is a three-year-old child, but it is definitely a long life in the future, and she will definitely live beyond a hundred years..."
After hearing Xia Mingyue's voice, Mrs. He rose from the recliner almost with a carp and pulled Xia Mingyue's hand warmly, "It's really Mingyue."
"Yes, I'm thinking about not coming to the old lady's place during this period, so I specially made two fresh foods to deliver to the old lady."
Xia Mingyue put the packaged food on the table and smiled hurriedly, "But it seems that I didn't come very much? I feel that you are not very happy, old lady..."
"Good, how could you be unhappy?" Old lady He smiled, "Even if you are unhappy, it's because you haven't seen me for a while, and I feel so depressed!"
"This is my fault. Even if you are busy in the future, you have to take more time to see the old lady."
"That's good..."
"That's good..."
"It's my fault. Even if you are busy in the future, you have to take more time to see the old lady."
"That's good..."
The two of them started chatting enthusiastically.
He Lingyun saw that Mrs. He laughed repeatedly, and the number of people continued to increase because of chatting with Xia Mingyue, so he took the opportunity to speak, "Grandmother, you see, Miss Xia is also in the capital now, right?"
Can you stay in the capital for a longer time?
Mrs. He immediately guessed He Lingyun's thoughts. Before he could finish his words, he interrupted him with disgust, "Go and go, don't make any words to make any talk, disturb my chat and Mingyue!"
"I heard yesterday that your father got some good spring water. Longjing tea is the most fragrant. You can go and ask for some here and make tea for me and Mingyue!"
"And there are also new fruits, and people brought them over to let Mingyue taste..."
"Yes." He Lingyun did not dare to be negligent or hesitant at all, and hurriedly did things as the old woman told her.
Xia Mingyue smiled and stuffed the food she brought into Mrs. He's hand.
The milky biscuits are crispy and delicious, with a strong aroma, and the egg roll is also crispy and full of egg fragrance, which is very suitable for Mrs. He's teeth, and it won't feel greasy, and it's very delicious. "Not bad." Mrs. He praised her, "Mingyue's skills are better."
"The old lady doesn't dislike it..."
The two of them were eating snacks while talking, while He Lingyun delivered the best Longjing tea and fruits as he told him.
The fruits are all very fresh fruits.
Dongting Lake oranges are large and round and plump, thin skin and rich flesh, and are full of juice, sweet and delicious.
The grapefruits produced in Shuzhong are thin and full of flesh. After peeling the white membrane skin and grapefruit seeds that are prone to bitterness, they stack the complete grapefruit meat neatly in a bowl made of half a grapefruit skin. They look crystal clear and very convenient to taste, sweet and sour.
The apples produced in Ludi are crispy, sweet and sour. They are cut into teeth and eaten. The apples are full of fragrance...
These fruits are not particularly strange, but the ripening time of these fruits has long passed. In the early February of the New Year, the quality is so high, but the fresh fruits that are preserved are rare, and many times they cannot be bought with money.
When eating these openly, Xia Mingyue felt extremely happy and couldn't help but squint her eyes.
When Mrs. He saw that Xia Mingyue liked her so much, she waved her hand and told Bi Yunyi to prepare some, so that Xia Mingyue would take her away and eat slowly when she went back later. "It's really cost-effective to buy some food for so many fresh fruits. I'm shameless and take advantage of the old lady's glory." Xia Mingyue joked.
"It's so good." Mrs. He smiled. "The bunny below did a lot of things not satisfactory every day, but she was used to eating and drinking. I heard them talk about spring bamboo shoots and chicken mushrooms tomorrow. I'll leave some for you to cook."
"Okay, I'll come in two days." Xia Mingyue's face was full of jokes, "not only will it come in two days, but you can come every day if you have time."
"Yes, come every day!" Mrs. He smiled, "I'll call the little girl of the Fan family together and call Xiaowu over. How lively this person!"
As old, they like lively, and Mrs. He is no exception. "Okay, as long as you don't think we're making trouble."
"Noisy? Nothing happens. If you make a fuss, can my old woman make a fuss in the past?" Old Mrs. He raised her chin, her face full of pride and pride. "It sounds like a story. I'm too much. I'll ask the old lady, can you tell me about the trouble you said?" "Okay." Mrs. He suddenly became interested. "I usually want to tell you, those little bastards are unwilling to listen. If you want to listen to me, the old lady, it's the best thing." "Come on, listen to my old lady tell you slowly. If you want to discuss this matter carefully, you have to start talking about it when I was fourteen years old..." Xia Mingyue raised her ears and leaned forward slightly, as if she listened very carefully.
Mrs. He was extremely relieved and straightened her body even more and more, telling Xia Mingyue some wonderful past events that were still fresh in memory one by one.
One and one young sit next to each other, one speaks of mouth foam flying and vivid, and the other is listening very seriously, asking questions from time to time, the two of them occasionally eat some fruits and snacks, and drink some tea...
The sun is warm, and the two of them are in the yard like this, next to the budding magnolia tree, which stands tall and graceful, making the scenes of the two more harmonious at this time. It feels like the years are peaceful and peaceful.
This scene fell in He Lingyun's eyes, which made him breathe a lot of relief.
First, because my grandmother rarely has such a happy time since the New Year.
Secondly, because Xia Mingyue could come here from time to time to sit, my grandmother probably no longer quarreled all day long to Dexin Garden, which was thousands of miles away.
Although everything in Dexin Garden is complete and elegant and quiet, it is also very suitable for grandmother to support her elderly care.
But Dexin Garden is too far from the capital or the He family. They have many things to do every day and cannot always be with their grandmother. The grandmother is getting older, so they can't be so completely at ease.
With Niangzi Xia now in the capital, everything is really easy to say.
Even if Miss Xia followed Dingyuan Hou back to Jinqiu County, her grandmother's departure time should be after her.
Anyway, I can stay in the capital for a while!
He Lingyun was happy and liked and respected Xia Mingyue, who had helped him a lot. When the sun set and Xia Mingyue was about to say goodbye and leave, in addition to the fresh fruits that Mrs. He explained, He Lingyun also told the people below to prepare some other things.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
A large bucket of spring water and a can of tea.
"This is the spring water of Huiyunquan. The mud and sand have been completely settled. Filter it with gauze. The taste is the best. It will be a bit sweeter when you drink it. Whether it is making tea or cooking soup, it is suitable."
He Lingyun said, "This tea is the latest Longjing this year. All the buds are picked. There is no open fire when stir-frying tea, and it will not bring a trace of fireworks. It tastes particularly fragrant and cold. I hope Lady Xia will not dislike it."
"How dare you talk about such a valuable thing? On the contrary, this thing is really too expensive, which makes me feel ashamed." Xia Mingyue felt a little embarrassed.
"Miss Xia must not be polite." He Lingyun hurriedly explained, "I'm not hiding it from Miss Xia, I have also had a lot of selfishness. I just hope that Miss Xia can often sit in the mansion during this period of time in the capital."
Xia Mingyue understood what He Lingyun meant and nodded, "This is natural."
Seeing that Xia Mingyue agreed very simply, He Lingyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and personally sent Xia Mingyue into the carriage.
Old Mrs. He, because she talked about the interesting past for the afternoon, she was completely immersed in the fun and joy of memories, and her raised mouth could not fall.
It was not until Biyun started to spread the food that Old Lady He took a little thought, raised her eyes and looked at her, frowned slightly, "Where has that boy Lingyun gone again?"
"The maid just saw the young master go to get the spring water and Longjing tea from Huiyun Spring. She is probably going to send Miss Xia to Mrs. Xia now." Biyun smiled.
Lady He suddenly smiled happily, "This kid is sensible. Okay, tell me that I remember to cook a steamed pork with lotus leaf paste for dinner. I remember this kid likes to eat it."
"Yes." Biyun responded with a smile.
When Xia Mingyue returned, Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji had already arrived home.
Although the two had drunk sober soup, took a shower and changed their clothes, Xia Mingyue still smelled a heavy smell of alcohol from the two of them.
"Drinking in broad daylight?" Xia Mingyue frowned slightly. "The peace talks were suspended, and the people of the Jin Weiguo delegation were impetuous. In order to appease their people, Li Juncheng asked the people of the Jin Weiguo delegation to compete for martial arts. I accompanied Yunji to watch them, and I drank two more cups during this period." Lu Qiyan explained.
Xia Mingyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Just drink two more cups?"
Why do you feel like you have drunk two more jars? "Sister is sister, I guess it." Xia Yunji smiled, "not only did he drink two more cups, but he also fought with the warriors of Jin Weiguo." Xia Mingyue, "..." He knew, he asked something else.
"What's the result?" Xia Mingyue asked casually.
"Then you still need to ask? Of course, you beat those people all over the ground to find your teeth." Xia Yunji raised his chin smugly and even took Xia Mingyue's arm. "Sister, I tell you, my brother-in-law also took action today, and with only one hand, he knocked the other party down in three moves. He was so shocked that Li Juncheng's chin almost fell to the ground..."
"Hey hey hey, don't talk nonsense to your sister." Lu Qiyan interrupted Xia Yunji, "No three moves, it's obviously two and a half moves."
Xia Mingyue, "..."
Xia Yunji, "..."
This is a damn competitive spirit! "Yes, yes, my husband is so amazing." Xia Mingyue supported him very much, "I went to Mrs. He's house in the afternoon, and Mr. He gave me a bucket of Huiyunquan spring water and a can of Longjing tea. I'll make a cup of tea for you." "I'll help you." Lu Qiyan followed Xia Mingyue happily to work hard.
The servants were not allowed to boil water in a large pot. They only allowed the charcoal stove and clay pot to pour the spring water to a full height and boil it on a high heat.
The tea leaves were placed in a covered bowl, and the hot tea water was poured on, and the mellow fragrance immediately emanated, wafting the fragrance of the room.
Blow the heat in the teacup and slid into a small mouthful along the edge of the teacup. The fragrance enters the mouth and does not dissipate for a long time.
"Not bad."
Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji agree with the tea, but after drinking a cup of tea, they rubbed their stomachs at the same time.
Some are hungry.
In the afternoon, I was making a fuss at the inn. Although I drank wine and ate roasted lamb, I also consumed a lot of energy. I really felt empty at this moment.
Xia Mingyue laughed when she saw this, "Tell me, what do you two want to eat?"
"Noodles!"
The two of them almost gave the same answer at the same time. "Okay." Xia Mingyue responded with a smile, "Then make noodles for eating, one big bowl per person!"
"Wow, wool, wool!" Wu Jin also came over to join in the fun.
"Okay, you're your part, too." Xia Mingyue stretched out her hand and ruled Wu Jin's big forehead, rolled up her sleeves and wanted to go to the kitchen.
