The simple and crude food in the wild is naturally not as delicious as the carefully cooked food at home, but a group of people still looked satisfied after eating.
After all, it is something you have worked hard for. No matter what the finished product is, you will cherish it.
Xiao Ming took a sparrow leg and chewed it slowly. The meat was sparse, mushy, and tasted salty in the mouth. After all, she couldn't bear to reject Chen Yuanze's persistent enthusiasm.
She didn't speak, she had nothing to say, for fear that one more word would dampen the other person's enthusiasm for cooking.
Children also need encouragement and comfort.
It’s just that she shouldn’t show off her useless cooking skills anymore.
The others gathered around to eat chicken and fish, and they tacitly avoided the skewer of sparrow meat that was burnt and slightly black.
Seeing this, Shen Che's beautiful eyebrows moved. He seemed to understand something. His outstretched hand naturally turned around and took out a chicken leg to chew on.
Doesn’t the beggar’s chicken taste delicious?
The group of people played until very late and went back when the city gate was about to close. After entering the city, the guards of Prince Luo's Mansion were already waiting at the city gate. Shen Che saw it with helpless eyes and had no choice but to say goodbye to everyone. He was escorted back to Prince Luo's Mansion.
Birth is the end. Shen Che has a noble status and omnipotent power. He is the pinnacle that countless people can't reach in their lifetimes, but even so, he is burdened with responsibilities that ordinary people do not have.
Origin is both an advantage and a shackle.
On the contrary, Chen Yuanze was not taken back by the Chen family. As the second son of the family, he was pampered and pampered by Mrs. Chen. With the eldest son in front of him, Chen Cifu and his wife had a son. He didn't place much hope on him. After he was admitted as a scholar, he relaxed the control on him. He had a completely laissez-faire attitude and just turned a blind eye to his behavior of often staying at Xiao's house.
It's not like they haven't lived in the Xiao family for a year, so why care about these few days? After living there for a year and coming back with a reputation as a scholar, the Chen family's parents are finally satisfied.
Furthermore, the Chen family relies on Xiao Ming in many ways. Mrs. Chen relies entirely on Xiao Ming's medical skills to extend her life, and her family's business is also closely related to the Xiao family. If they are smart enough, they will not get into trouble with Xiao Ming over such a trivial matter.
Sometimes Mother Chen even wished that her useless son would have more contact with the Xiao family. Without him, since Xiao Ming suddenly became Princess Linlang's adopted sister, she was also a guest of many noble families in the capital, and even more so in Luo. The third sister in the mouth of Prince Shen Che. In this way, for many reasons, the Chen family was even lucky that their incompetent son had formed a bond with the Xiao family so early.
good karma.
Although this incompetent son actually regarded Xiao Ming, who was younger than him, as his sister.
Naturally, Chen Yuanze stayed at the Xiao family again, and the Xiao family even had a courtyard where he stayed overnight.
Mother Yi was waiting in the yard to watch Xiao Ming and the others come in. She looked at Xiao Yu from a distance. The little boy dismounted from his horse, took off the dagger on his body, handed the reins to Wang Tiandong, and walked to the carriage to give it to him. His aunt lifted the car curtain, and the dim candlelight reflected his young and handsome face. Even after a day out for fun, he still maintained infinite vitality.
Mother Yi's eyes flickered in the darkness, and she looked at Xiao Ming, who was holding Xiao Yu's hand as she got off the horse, trying hard to see anything unusual on his face.
"Grandma Yi, we are back." Xiao Yu saw Mother Yi holding a lantern and shouted quickly.
"Hey! You are back. Don't be so late in the future." Mother Yi said with concern. Fortunately, this is in the capital. There are city guards patrolling at night. The little robbers dare not show up. If it were in Pingcheng, she would have to worry. .
"I know, Grandma Yi, let's come back earlier next time." Xiao Yu nodded in agreement and carried the medicine box for his aunt. Over there, Li'er had already moved the herbs that Bai Xiaoyu and Wang Yunling had collected in the afternoon. Car, take me to the pharmacy.
"There is hot water on the stove. Everyone, hurry up and wash up. I see how sweaty you are." Mother Yi said, and quickly went to the kitchen to ask the two newly bought housewives to prepare hot water and wait for everything to be tidied up. OK, Xiao Ming and others went to bed before she returned to her room.
In the room, Mother Yi did not fall asleep. Instead, she sat at the table, poured herself a cup of tea, and stared at the dancing light in front of her eyes.
For a long time, her eyes turned to the needlework quilt next to her. The bright yellow color inside it stung her nerves. Looking at this piece of child's bellyband, Mother Yi's expression rarely changed. She took it out tremblingly and carefully He looked at it, turning it over and over, his eyes seemed to be exploring, and also seemed to be missing.
Finally, Mother Yi picked up the scissors and peeled off the outermost circle of dark purple trim along the edge. After a while, with her skillful movements, she peeled off a strip of dark purple cloth.
Her movements did not stop there, but continued to pick threads on the strip of cloth. Under her hands, the strip of cloth less than two fingers wide gradually appeared in its original shape.
The cloth strip is not a simple rag, but a whole long narrow cloth with finely embroidered patterns on it.
At this time, Yi's mother's eyes were full of tears. She carefully looked at the narrow piece of fabric that she had removed. The front of the fabric was embroidered with a full-embroidered picture of the sun rising in the east. When she turned to the other side, it showed Suddenly, a phoenix pattern was embroidered, vivid and ready to fly.
It is a beautifully crafted double-sided embroidery. There are many people who are excellent in female embroidery, but there are very few who can embroider on both sides. There are no more than five embroiderers in the capital. They are the top embroiderers.
And being able to embroider complex patterns on such a narrow piece of fabric, with every stitch as delicate as a thread, is enough to prove the superb craftsmanship and unique ingenuity of this embroiderer.
Mother Yi looked at this picture, carefully stroking the stitches and threads on it, and her eyes finally shed uncontrollably.
There is no sound, and emotions flow in the silence.
After a long time, Mother Yi calmed down, put down the embroidery in her hands, took out the needle and thread from the needlework, folded the double-sided embroidery as it was, and sewed it carefully along the previous needle holes, and finally turned it into The original appearance was finally re-embedded on the edge of the bellyband. No one knew that there would be gorgeous youth hidden under this seemingly ordinary trim.
Just as he finished, Yi Feng's voice sounded outside the door.
"Mom, did you sleep peacefully?"
"Come in!" Mother Yi called softly, put the things in the needlework quilt to cover them, looked at her son who opened the door and came in, and couldn't help but pour him a cup of tea.
"It's so late and you haven't gone home yet?"
When buying property, Xiao Ming also bought a new house for the Yi family. The address was next to Xiao's house, so in addition to Yi's mother living in Xiao's house, Yi Feng and Liu Yu lived in the new house.
Mother Yi is very grateful to Xiao Ming for this. The capital is easy to enter, but it is not easy to settle down in the capital. A small house in the capital is comparable to two houses with two entrances in Pingcheng.
Not only the house, Xiao Ming also gave them a shop and thirty acres of land outside the city.
Now, they are also wealthy people.
