Chapter 218 Gentle and pleasant?
Amei thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since Mrs. Guan said this, my servant thought that there is really something missing in this kitchen."
“Oh, what is it?”
Guan Ji's eyes showed concern.
"That's the peach branch. Drinking peach soup on New Year's Day can suppress evil spirits and control hundreds of ghosts. My servant forgot about it yesterday. I thought I would pick some peach branches back later. If Mrs. Guan can help, that's it. It’s the best.”
“It’s convenient, so I’ll go pick peach branches.”
Guan Ji's face showed joy, and she immediately turned around and went out.
Amei watched Guan Ji's figure disappear into the blurry morning light, and couldn't help but show a smile on her face. After thinking about it, she bent down and picked up the washed peach branches in the basket and stuffed them behind the firewood.
Feng Yong woke up from his sleep and felt his mouth was dry.
This fire pit is good for everything except that the body loses water easily.
It was already dark outside, but it was still dark inside the house, and only the outline of the screen in front of the Kang could be seen.
It really takes courage to get up from the warm kang in winter. Feng Yong turned over, closed his eyes again, and shouted: "Amei, amei..."
I feel that my throat is dry and my voice is a little hoarse. This is because I have lost too much water in my body after sleeping for a night.
I heard the door creaking open, and then I heard footsteps walking in.
“Bring me some water, I’m so thirsty.”
The visitor didn't say anything, but just lit the lamps in the room. Then he heard the sound of pouring water from outside the screen. After a while, a hand held a bowl of water and handed it over.
Feng Yong opened his hazy eyes, took the bowl and took a deep gulp of water. After finishing the gulp, he realized that the water was ice cold.
At this moment, I was aroused by the cold water. I felt that my throat was finally moisturized a lot, and my voice returned to normal: "Why is this water ice?"
The people outside seemed to be startled and whispered: "I'm sorry..."
Feng Tibi, who had just woken up, was not completely conscious yet. He shook his head and felt that his brain was still a little groggy, as if he was about to fall asleep at any time.
“Oh, I really don’t want to get up in this winter day. How great would it be if I could lie in a quilt like this all day long? Bring my clothes.”
Feng Yong muttered something and gave another order.
The clothes were quickly handed over again.
Feng Tibi took it and felt that the clothes in his hands were not warm at all. They had not been heated like before. At that moment, he felt that Amei was a little weird today.
“Girl, what’s going on today? The water I was given was ice cold, and the clothes I was given were cold. You didn’t sleep well last night and you felt dizzy this morning?”
Feng Yong said nonchalantly, "You have met a master who is as easy to talk to as me. If you make such a mistake in other people's homes, are you afraid that you won't be slapped?"
Although he said this, Feng Yong didn't mean to blame him much.
Amei, this girl, rarely makes mistakes on weekdays. She studies hard these days, and Feng Yong can't bear to blame her if she occasionally makes mistakes.
As he spoke, he put the clothes under the quilt and covered them with him. After a while, he lay in the quilt and squirmed to put them on.
Then he stood up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he crossed the screen and saw the people outside, Feng Tibi was so frightened that he immediately bent down.
"S... Sanniang, why are you here? Where is Amena?"
Feng Tubou asked stammeringly as he bent over.
Under the dim light, Guan Ji's face was red and her eyes flickered away, not daring to look at Feng Yong.
“Then thank you Sanniang.”
On a normal day, Feng Tubao would have been very happy to have Guan Ji like this, but now he doesn't dare to let Guan Ji see him in this situation.
I saw him looking sad, "Why didn't Sanniang say anything just now? It made me think you were Amei."
"For my little sister, this matter of carrying water and clothes is just a simple task. Why should my brother care?"
Guan Ji said this, but her face became increasingly red.
“Then I wonder if Sanniang has anything else?”
Guan Ji couldn't help but be shocked when she heard that Feng Tubou wanted to drive people away. Then she felt ashamed and angry. She had already reached this point, and she never thought that this guy was so ignorant.
“No more, my little sister went out first.”
Like a hot fire being poured down by ice water, Guan Ji's heart became cold, and her face involuntarily returned to the cold look it used to have in front of outsiders. She tried her best to keep a calm tone and tried not to let Feng Yong hear it. The tremor in her voice.
Feng Tubie was also a person who had wallowed in **** after all. How could he not know that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry?
Hurry to remedy: "It would be best if Sanniang is fine. Can you do me one more favor? Bring me some water. Remember to ask for warm water."
When Guan Ji heard this, her face finally lost its tension and she spat, "Where can I find such free time? You can ask Amei to serve you later."
After saying that, he ran away as if running away.
“Hey, Sanniang, don’t worry, how about you help me this time?”
Feng Tibi pretended to shout from behind, but it made Guan Ji escape faster.
When Guan Ji disappeared, Feng Ji breathed out and then sighed again.
At the same time, I was secretly wondering, Guan Ji has been getting more and more weird these days, and I don’t know what’s going on?
But Guan Ji ran out of Feng Yong's room, found a secluded corner, held her chest and gasped for air.
When I felt calmer, I felt a little worried again.
I thought that my aunt only said that all men in the world like gentle and lovable women, but she didn’t mention how to be gentle and lovable, and she didn’t know how to do it.
Nowadays, among the aristocratic circles in Jincheng, there is a rumor that the fourth lady of the Xixiang Hou Mansion, the queen's younger sister, has been named Zhang Xingyi - that is to say, she is ready to get married.
She knew that before her brother came to Hanzhong, if the wife of the Zhang family had not made up her mind in the end, the queen would have asked Siniang to get engaged to her brother.
Before Sanniang entered the palace, she could be regarded as her good sister. Of course, she knew clearly that this empress of Han Dynasty was more outstanding than most men in the world, and her character was even more tenacious.
Some time ago, another edict came from the palace, asking my brother to concurrently serve as the supervisor of Nahan Zhongye.
The aunt also mentioned this matter in her letter, saying that this was the queen's intention to win over her brother.
So, I'm afraid the queen never gave up her intention of marrying Si Niang to her elder brother, otherwise her aunt would not have made herself gentler and more pleasant, and would even have gone so far as to cater to her elder brother.
well!
Guan Ji sighed and scratched her head. I wonder if what she just did was considered gentle and pleasant? I just feel so embarrassed...
I hope I won’t be looked down upon by my brother.
“New Year’s Day? Do you want to eat these things?”
After Feng Yong washed up and exercised as usual, he sat in the big room and watched Amei serve breakfast. He pointed at the onions, garlic, leeks, brassicas, and coriander on the plate. , asked in surprise.
“still alive…”
