It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 152

Except for Su Rui in modern times, she has never seen the sisters and siblings of the Su family. Su Qiao looked at the exquisite dim sum and imagined what a real lotus would look like.

Thinking about this, I asked, "Are real lotus flowers as beautiful as chestnut lotus cakes?"

Mother Liu nodded, "That's right, most of the official women in Yuncheng like lotus flowers, and think that they come out of "silt but not stained, clean ripples but not demon"."

Su Qiao didn't understand what this meant, and looked at Su Rui suspiciously.

Su Rui was about to explain when Meng Mingzhou walked in slowly.

""Out of the mud but not stained, clean ripples but not demon" on the surface means that the lotus flower comes out of the mud and is not polluted, and after washing with clean water, it appears pure and not seductive."

Su Qiao was puzzled, "Lotus? Isn't it a lotus?"

Meng Mingzhou laughed, "The lotus is called both the lotus flower and the lotus flower. The lotus seeds in the lotus pod it bears are edible, and the lotus root with long roots can also be eaten. The lotus leaf is not only a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, but also can be used for cooking. The lotus flower is also highly ornamental. It's a treasure."

Su Qiao suddenly realized.

Su Ying always felt that Meng Mingzhou hadn't finished talking, so she put out the fire on the stove and asked.

"Cousin Mingzhou, what did you mean on the surface when you said earlier, what does it actually mean?"

The smile on Meng Mingzhou's face gradually subsided, and he said slowly: "The source of this sentence comes from the person who wrote it in "Ai Lian Shuo". He was an official in ancient times. To maintain one's own noble character in the officialdom is as difficult as a lotus flower out of mud. This is also the conclusion of his experience as an official, because he doesn't want to be with others."

"And "Zhuoqing lotus is not a demon", the meaning is, but this is his wish. How can there be no reason not to wet shoes when walking by the river? Therefore, among a hundred flowers, only a lotus can do it, and it is enough. It is precious. This is also his lament, because it is impossible for him to be alone in the big environment, so in addition to avoiding and staying away, he can only guard his own ambition as conscientiously as he does."

Su Ying sighed, "It turns out that the lotus is such a noble thing, I really want to see what it looks like with my own eyes."

Su Rui looked at Meng Mingzhou after speaking, and was lost in thought alone. Looking at his disappointed expression, she knew that he must be recalling the past.

"Elder Sister will definitely let you see the lotus, she will, and we will live better and better."

Su Rui's three affirmations made Meng Mingzhou feel less heavy, and he smiled at Su Rui.

"I'll go see why Mingxu and the others haven't come back yet."

Seeing that he had returned to normal, Su Rui said, "Well, tell them to come back quickly and taste the chestnut lotus cake made by Qiaoer."

"Dick, Chen Nan's!"

Su Chennan protected the little chicken, not letting Liu Cong touch it.

Su Wan pulled him back, "Brother, you are too stingy. Eldest sister said, you have to be humble."

Su Chennan's mouth curled up, and when he was about to cry, Liu Si hurriedly moved to his side, patted him lightly, and coaxed him.

"Young Master, don't cry, Cong'er doesn't want chickens."

Su Chennan opened his big watery eyes, glanced uncertainly at Liu Si, and then at Liu Cong.

Liu Cong immediately took two steps back, "Cong'er don't want it!"

Su Wan was very upset, "Chen Nan, you are not good, I want to tell Eldest Sister."

When Su Chennan heard Su Rui's name, he was shocked, immediately grabbed a chick, and stuffed it into Liu Cong's arms.

Liu Cong, "..."

Liu Si, "..."

Su Chennan pointed to the chicken in Liu Cong's arms, and said to Su Wan: "Chen Nan is good, don't tell Eldest Sister."

Su Wan nodded in satisfaction.

Meng Mingxu came out of the rabbit delivery room and saw four of them standing inside the chicken coop with different expressions.

"What happen to you guys?"

Liu Si smiled and said, "Master Mingxu, you are done."

Meng Mingxu nodded.

"Brother Chendong is laying straw in the rabbit's nest for the rabbit that is about to give birth. Let's go home first."

A group of people, just when they walked to the door and were about to open the door, they saw the courtyard door opened by itself, and then saw that it was Meng Mingzhou who opened it.

"Hey, brother, what are you going to do?"

Meng Mingzhou, "I'm going to find you in the old house."

Meng Mingxu was puzzled, "We're in the old house, what do you want us for?"

Meng Mingzhou picked up Su Chennan who begged him for a hug, "Sister Qiaoer made a new snack today, and I'm going to let you have a taste."

"Wow, dim sum!"

Su Wan rushed into the kitchen with a bang, and then Su Rui's voice came.

"Su Wan! You grabbed it with your hands when you came up. Did you wash your hands when you came back? Go and wash my hands before coming over to eat."

"Sister, I'm going right now."

Before she finished speaking, she rushed out at a speed like the wind.

Liu Si was stunned, Meng Mingxu shook his head amusedly, as long as Su Wan saw food that she hadn't eaten, it was as if she had been hungry for days.

Mrs. Wang, "Miss Rui, let's go back first, there are other things to do at home."

Su Rui, "Try some dim sum before leaving."

Wang shook her head, "No, I will have a chance to taste it in the future."

How can Su Rui do something that makes people busy all morning but can't eat?

She casually packed five pieces of chestnut lotus cakes and handed them to Mrs. Wang.

"Today is just an experiment, so I didn't do much. Auntie, take it back and give it to Brother Chen Dong and the others to try."

Seeing that the rest was enough for their whole family, Mrs. Wang took it and said goodbye.

After Wang and Su Ya left, Su Rui picked up a plate of lotus cakes and walked out of the kitchen, "Wash your hands and go, and come to the main room when you're done, the same goes for Si'er and Cong'er."

"it is good."

Mother Liu didn't want to sit at the same table with them, so Su Rui didn't force her. She packed some chestnut and lotus cakes for her, asked her to go back to her room to eat two with Liu De, and told her that it was still early for lunch, so she could rest for a while .

Su Wan, "Wow, big sister, this dim sum is so beautiful, it looks delicious, and it's even more beautiful than the dim sum I made before. The third sister is so amazing."

After washing her hands, Su Wan returned to the main room. Before she could sit down, she chattered a lot. Su Qiao laughed and pulled her to the seat, and put a piece of chestnut lotus cake on the plate in front of her.

Su Rui, "Okay, stop boasting, eat yours quickly, Si'er, and Cong'er, sit down and eat quickly."

Liu Si tugged at his younger brother who wanted to sit down, "Miss, we can just stand and eat."

Su Rui was helpless, "..."

Su Wan took a bite of the chestnut lotus cake, raised her head, and asked strangely, "Why do you have to stand up to eat? Sit down and eat!"

Liu Cong raised his head and looked at his sister. Liu Si hesitated. Although grandma kept telling her last night that she should be respectful to the Su family sisters and siblings, she was still young and didn't understand many things very well.
