"Yes, we are leaving the city. There are many interesting places to see and eat, and there are many places to eat."
Then the ladies began to talk about where the fun was in the city, when was the most fun, which tea house and restaurant was delicious, and which chef's specialty dishes were like.
Su Wan agreed with a smile, and asked a few more questions when she heard something she was curious about.
Occasionally, the topic would develop in strange directions, and the small talk would also become strange, but someone would always come back and it would seem that everything was harmonious.
Not long after, another guest arrived and joined in the chat.
Su Wan felt relieved after listening to these people talking.
No one is perfect in this world, and some people's personalities are not perfect, but the people sitting here have no serious mental illness, can speak truth, and understand people's words, so she feels relieved.
She was afraid that some people always liked to jump up and down, some were clinging to their old age, some were arrogant, some were criticizing, some were ignorant, stupid and mentally ill. In this way, that day would be wonderful.
I think back then, a Sufu could make the whole family uneasy, which shows its power.
Su Wan took a sip of tea and chatted with the ladies. She nodded or asked questions from time to time. The scene was quite harmonious. Sun Xiang sat aside, looking at his nose and heart, and found that he had no use for himself.
She came early, and she really felt that it was the first time Su Wan encountered such a big battle, and she was afraid that there was something she couldn't handle, so she wanted to help. After all, they had been sisters for many years. Although they were not sisters at the beginning, they As time goes by, the relationship is considered good, even if it is barely enough.
It's just that she forgot that Su Wan is an all-rounder herself and doesn't need help.
"This is my girl Fanghua. She is the most lively. There is no interesting place in this city that she doesn't know. If Madam wants to go out and feels that she needs someone to accompany her, please send someone to my house and ask her to go with you. go."
This girl named Xie Fanghua is only thirteen or fourteen years old. She looks lively and active and likes to be lively.
Girls aged 13 or 14 in Eastern Zhao, Southern Qin, and Western Wei must learn to be dignified and etiquette in preparation for marriage. However, girls here in Licheng get married later, at least eighteen years old, and seventeen or eighteen years old. It's time to say kiss.
At the age of thirty-four, she is still a playful little girl.
Xie Fanghua showed a bright smile: "Hello, madam."
"Hello." Su Wan smiled, "Are you studying or what are you doing now?"
Xie Fanghua said: "I am studying in middle school. My father said that I should study hard so that I can live a better life in the future."
"You should indeed study hard." Su Wan said, "You are lucky enough to be born here and have such a good opportunity. You should cherish it. There are no opportunities for women to study outside."
Xie Fanghua asked curiously: "Has the young lady read books?"
Su Wan smiled and said, "Of course I have studied. In my early years, I went to a women's academy. When I got older and couldn't run out all the time, a gentleman came to the mansion to teach, and the sisters took classes together."
The Duke Ning's Mansion also invited many gentlemen to teach for the girls in the family, but it was a pity that not many of them studied seriously.
"What did you learn in the academy?"
Xie Fanghua said: "We have three academies. One is primary school, which is about literacy and arithmetic. When you get older and go to middle school, you can choose to study many things. When you get to university, you can choose a direction to study."
Su Wan asked her again: "Then what do you want to learn?"
Xie Fanghua said a little embarrassedly: "I want to raise pigs."
Su Wan: "???"
Xie Fanghua was beaten by her mother: "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about! What a pig farmer! Are you going to piss me off to death?!"
If she hadn't been a guest in someone else's house, there would have been a mother-daughter world war in the next moment.
Xie Fanghua's mother, Mrs. Xie, was really angry. She was itching to ask her to speak properly in front of the young lady.
Many people present couldn't help laughing.
Xie Fanghua raised her chin and snorted softly: "What's so funny? It's just raising pigs. I think pigs are great. Is it possible that you think pigs are bad and don't like pork?"
Su Wan was so happy. Pork is a good thing, but raising pigs is indeed a tiring and dirty job.
When a grown man says he wants to raise pigs, forget it. When a little girl says this, it really makes people laugh. Her parents get furious and want to stage a mixed doubles match.
But she can't say whether it's good or bad to raise pigs. After all, she's not familiar with them, and it's related to their future, so she can't give random advice. If she's good at raising pigs, and this little girl is really dedicated to it, then what will happen to her parents? Maybe there will be opinions.
Su Wan said: "It's one thing to have ideas, but you should also discuss it with your family."
Xie Fanghua nodded: "Young madam, please don't worry."
Su Wan got to know a few ladies and a few little girls, chatted with them for a while, and heard a lot of interesting things about Li Cheng, and was in a good mood.
She prepared meeting gifts for the girls, which were all jade pendants with various flowers.
She had previously selected some good jade stones, but one of them had a lot of cracks on it, making it difficult to make bracelets or large items, so she made a lot of jade pendants and beads, which are now just in time for gifts.
Xie Fanghua picked a jade pendant engraved with peonies, and the other girls also picked what they liked.
Ladies and gentlemen, the girls were a little worried when they came, but after sitting down and chatting for a while, they found that Su Wan was very easy to talk to, so they felt relieved. The girls were also very happy to get the gifts. Seeing that Su Wan liked to talk to them, they joined in. passed.
It was easier for Su Wan to chat with the little girl.
Soon it was noon, and the Li family held a banquet in Changting Garden. Su Wan and several ladies sat together to eat, and they talked and talked about eating crabs.
Someone said: "There is a lake a little further away from the city. It raises good crabs. It's a bad time for my wife to come here. I can't eat it now. By September and October, it will be covered with yellow fat and it will taste like a mouthful." It’s so fragrant that I can remember it for a year.”
Su Wan listened with pricked up ears, eager to taste the taste of crabs that can be remembered for a year.
She loves to eat fish and crabs the most, but crabs are cold and she can only eat them a few times a year. She has a bit of a heartache every year because she can no longer eat them.
Especially when I was pregnant for a year and couldn’t eat for the next year, it was really heartbreaking.
I couldn't sleep at night thinking about it.
Fortunately, she made some drunken crabs at that time. When she stopped feeding her children and her health got much better, she felt a little satisfied after eating a few crabs.
"Is it really that delicious?"
"Really, if you don't believe it, young lady, you must try it when the time comes."
Su Wan smiled: "Then I will definitely have a taste of it."
