This year's New Year's Eve, Li Sanniang only took Lu Zhuer, Lao Shi and Lao Wu to have dinner at Li's house in the evening.
"Auntie, Linglan is still at my house to take care of Qiuxiang for me. Tonight, Luzhu'er and I won't be keeping vigil at home."
Although Li Sanniang said this to Mother Li, , but the direction her eyes were looking was towards Mrs. Li.
Looking at Sister-in-law Li with an apologetic look, Li Sanniang quickly explained a few words: "Sister-in-law, who is tired, cleaned the house for me and Lu Zhu'er earlier. Now that something happened, we can't live in it anymore. "
Sister-in-law Li stepped forward and took Li Sanniang's hand: "It's okay, if you can, it would be good for you to stay at home for a few days during the Lantern Festival."
< br>
Li Sanniang naturally nodded in agreement and shook Sister Li's hand in return.
Before leaving Li’s house, Li Sanniang spoke to Brother Li: “Brother, I heard what Mr. Bu said, extra personnel should have been deployed around our house to protect us, and the Jinwu Guards also attacked. Saying hello will make people patrol our street a few more times.
Although this is a Chinese New Year day, after what happened last time, the people behind the scenes will probably not send them again. The dead men are here.
It’s better to be on guard. Brother Aye, please go back and talk about this.”
Brother Li nodded, and Li Sanniang lowered her head. He said gloomily: "Looking at it now, fortunately I have moved out of my house a long time ago. If you are hurt because of my things, I will feel really uncomfortable."
Brother Li raised his hand and patted Li Sanniang on the head: "What are you talking about?
We are a family, and we share weal and woe.
We have you as an official. Good thing, in the end you have risks and you don’t want to bear them together, why don’t you bear it alone?
Stop talking nonsense, let’s go, brother will take you back.”
Reply. When he arrived at his home, the first thing he did was to see Qiuxiang, "Lizulan, I brought Ping An back with me.
Come on, wash your hands quickly and come eat the dumplings (dumplings), they're still hot. "
Li Sanniang watched Luzhu'er holding a bowl, sitting by Qiuxiang's bed, and carefully fed Qiuxiang some flat food.
Qiuxiang was young and a martial arts practitioner for many years. He was injured at that time Shi Ye was treated in time, and now she can sit half-relying on the bed.
Although her face was still a little pale, Qiuxiang, who was in good spirits, smiled at Lu Zhuer who was feeding her flat food. He said: "Haha, I was lucky enough to win the favor of the little lady Luzhu'er, and let her feed me food. "
Qiuxiang said this because a young gentleman from the men's school opposite the women's school where Lu Zhu'er went to half a month ago wanted to talk to Lu Zhu'er, so he specially invited the girls from their women's school on the street. The thing about girls drinking sweet soup
Lu Zhuer was not annoyed when Qiu Xiang teased her, she just put down her chopsticks, picked up a spoon and scooped out soup for Qiu Xiang to drink.
The time for a few people to talk and laugh passed quickly, and the sound of the policemen's banging on the street also started. It was considered that the New Year's Eve night had been watched.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Festival, King Wu relaxed the ban and allowed night walks.
In the past half month, Li Sanniang’s house has been very lively. From the doctors who are familiar with each other in the Imperial Medical Office to the ladies from the market who have been helped by Li Sanniang, they are either carrying four kinds of gifts or carrying a basket of their own hens. They were so drunk that they visited Li San's house one by one to express their condolences.
Today, Xu Jingzhen is also here.
It was a coincidence that Tang Mingyue, Chen Yanfu and their second son also came to visit.
Song Fuling looked at Xu Jingzhen who came alone in regular clothes with some surprise, and thought to herself: "Is this the Sanlang Jun of the Xu family?
What Lu Zhuer said is true. , His features are indeed handsome, and he is very good-looking."
Xu Jingzhen has long understood that his appearance can attract the attention of many girls, so Song Fuling's peeking behavior also caught his attention. Didn't take it seriously.
However, the thirty-seven-year-old Xu Jingzhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This skin that everyone thinks is beautiful seems to be just ordinary in the eyes of the third lady."
As soon as Xu Jingzhen entered the main hall, he saw Tang Mingyue and Chen Yanfu sitting and drinking tea. Li Sanniang stood up and introduced the three of them.
Tang Mingyue and Chen Yanfu are also an interesting couple. After the two looked at each other, they understood each other's meaning.
“Since Mrs. Qiuxiang is fine, and seeing that Sanniang, you and Lu Zhuer are doing well, I feel relieved.
Matters in the maternity hall Don't worry, I can handle it. If anything happens, I will be the first to inform you.
Then Mingyue and I won't bother you. You can bring Luzhu'er when you have time. Come and play.”
After seeing off Tang Mingyue, Chen Yanfu and their two sons, Li Sanniang and Lu Zhuer returned to the main hall. Lu Zhuer was very happy to see Xu Jingzhen. As soon as she returned to the main hall, she pushed the food on the table in front of Xu Jingzhen.
Then I watched Xu Jingzhen chattering, talking about how scared and brave I was that night, talking about the taste of the flat food I ate on New Year’s Eve, and kept saying that Xu Jingzhen made Today I will stay at Li Sanniang’s house and eat noodles and silkworms with them.
"Uncle, just stay.
Aniang said that in addition to cooking noodles, she also fried fried silkworms.
It has been a long time since Lu Zhuer had a meal with her uncle. ”
(It is said to be “noodle silkworms”, but in fact the ingredients have nothing to do with silkworms.
The main method is to use mung bean powder, glutinous rice, flour and sugar as raw materials, and add tofu The meat is cooked in soup.
According to contemporary records, the silkworm noodles taste soft and elastic, and because they are cooked with the broth, they absorb the aroma of the meat and have a richer taste.)
(The oil hammer is similar to the current sesame balls, but it is a glutinous rice product with pointed ends, thick middle, stuffing, and a spindle-like shape.)
Xu Jingzhen didn't want to refuse Lu Zhuer's coquettish request, but he also knew that Li Sanniang had never wanted to have too much contact with him, for fear of getting into trouble with him.
So, Xu Jingzhen raised his eyes to look at Li Sanniang who was sitting at the top and drinking tea. Lu Zhuer, a little person, could also see who was the one in charge.
"Aniang, Aniang, can you please leave Uncle Xu to have dinner with us?
Aniang, there is no curfew today. Even if you eat late, Uncle Xu can go home. , the gate is not closed.
Auntie?”
When did Li Sanniang refuse Lu Zhuer's request?
"Well, since we have to keep your uncle for dinner, why don't we go back to your grandma's place together? Your aunt has missed you very much these days.
Qiuxiang's The injury doesn’t prevent me from walking a few steps, how about it?”
Qiu Xiang, who was called, replied directly: “It’s okay. If the third lady hadn’t stopped me, I would have been able to do morning exercises in the past two days. ”
Li Sanniang was naturally not afraid that there would be rumors if she left Xu Jingzhen at home for dinner, but that both of them were officials in the court after all, even if they were not related to the Imperial Medical Office and the Ministry of War, she Still don't want anything to go wrong.
However, since Lu Zhuer likes Xu Jingzhen, and Xu Jingzhen was assassinated before coming to visit her, it would be good to take people to Li's house for a meal.
In this way, we packed up the glutinous rice noodles, brought miscellaneous ingredients, and drove the carriage, leaving only Li Sanniang and Qiuxiang to sit. Xu Jingzhen held Lu Zhuer's hand outside the carriage, and everyone went to Li's house together.
