Chapter 384 Rescue (3)
Qingli got out of bed and sat in front of the dressing table. In the copper mirror, Qingli's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were like spring water, and the eyes were misty when she fell asleep. Du Juan thought to herself, if the young master saw this, his heart would definitely move.

"Miss, you can rinse your mouth with green tea, and Nanny Yu will bring the meal over in a while."

Du Juan poured out a cup of hot tea from the teapot, handed it to Qing Li, and said, "I don't know what dishes the kitchen has prepared. It's too late now, so I'm afraid it's not easy to digest. Miss has eaten accumulated food."

"Sister Dujuan, the kitchen has made a few simple dishes, all of which are appetizing and easy to digest, and there seems to be red fruit cake."

When the red carp mentions the red fruit cake, she has a look of admiration on her face. My lady knows a lot. There is also a mountain here in Zhuangzi, and there are many wild ones in it. She has eaten it before, but it is sour and unpalatable. Last autumn After entering the mountain, the lady went hunting pheasants and hares, and found those trees. She took the farmer to pick off all the red fruits on them, and gave them to the cook at the house to make red fruit cakes, which were sweet and sour. Appetizer, the elderly and children in the family especially like to eat.

"Red carp, I haven't been to the village recently, is there anything new?"

Qingli asked Du Juan to move a small pier for Red Carp, let her sit on it and talk, and also prepared tea and preserved fruits for her.

"There is, but it's not a good thing."

Red carp hesitated for a moment, not many people know about this matter, and it has not been spread yet, her parents told her not to tell outsiders, she is a daughter, it is not good to say these things, she understands all these reasons, but my young lady, there is no Not an outsider.

Qingli picks up a sour plum, the taste is sweet and sour, this plum is produced in the space, she picks it all up, finds a skilled woman in the mansion to pickle it, it is very tasty, it is delicious, and it also reduces the fire, every time When she is too tired or bored, she will pick up a few.

"What's new?"

It's not a good thing. What's the matter? Has someone lost their child again?It seemed that Zhao Yangyang, who had inquired about it, had said this some time ago.

"It's very fresh."

Before Hongli said that, she shrank her neck and glanced towards the door. She was not afraid of others, but she was afraid of Mammy Yu. Every time Mammy Yu saw her, she would say that her manners were not standard and her speech was inappropriate.

"Miss, you don't know, there have been flower picking thieves in the capital recently!"

Red carp held its chin in one hand, glanced at Du Juan, and asked, "Sister Du Juan, you haven't heard the news in the mansion, have you?"

"No, is there such a thing?"

Du Juan frowned slightly. Flower pickers are the most feared existence for women in this era. Whether it is a woman or an unmarried girl, as long as there is a little bit about flower pickers, there is only a dead end.

"Well, miss, it's true, this servant is not talking nonsense."

The red carp nodded vigorously, afraid that the two of them would not believe it, and then continued, "It's been about ten days, and the farmer in front had a pretty girl who was ruined to death by the flower pickers. It was ruined to death. Originally, the girl's father had cried to someone, but later someone asked, so he changed his words, saying that the girl had a sudden illness."

Red Carp is only ten years old, and she is still a naive little girl who doesn't know much about the world. She still can't understand these things, her eyes flashed with doubts, "I heard that the flower pickers left money."

"This is heard, it may not be true, right?"

Du Juan is dubious, usually there are flower pickers, and the daughters will think they are unlucky. If they say it, they will lose their reputation, and those with strong hearts will think about how to remedy it. If they are not married, they are not virgins, and they must not be married. To a good family.

"Yes, Sister Du Juan, I didn't believe it at first, but something happened later."

The red carp's big eyes flickered, turned to Qing Li, and hurriedly explained, "This is not nonsense, this slave girl is not talking nonsense, many beautiful ladies in this area have suffered, and the flower pickers are all looking for outstanding looks. , even the servants in the previous Zhuangzi, some of them suffered, thanks to the ugliness of the servants."

Qingli almost spit out a sip of tea, and she said that about herself, besides, the red carp is only ten years old, how perverted would be to attack the little girl, that is simply not human, after being caught, the root of the descendants must be cut off, so that Such a person is a eunuch.

"I haven't heard of this matter, and it hasn't spread to Kyoto yet."

Du Juan nodded, no one would say that there is a flower picker, they are covering it, the news is not fast, and it sounds interesting, this flower picker has money, every time he ruins his daughter, he will leave a sum, why not Going to the brothel Chu Guan, insisting on looking for the daughter of a good family, the money is really naked irony.

"Miss, this servant brought me dinner."

Qing Li was sighing, when Nanny Yu came in, Little Red Carp's face immediately changed, and she didn't dare to talk about the topic just now.

"Not bad, I just happened to be hungry."

The dinner style is not particularly rich, because she doesn't eat much and doesn't advocate waste. The cook should cook it according to her appetite. There is a large bowl of boiled fish, dried beans, and a cold tofu Skin, a bowl of seaweed and egg soup, this can be said to be simple among the ladies, but the Shui family doesn't pay much attention to ostentation, and Shui Linghuan's dinner is also six dishes and one soup.

"Miss, or I'll sing you a little tune to relieve boredom."

Qing Li didn't talk when eating, because Mammy Yu was staring at her, so she nodded, and took a piece of fish, spicy and tasty, very delicious, this kind of authentic dishes, only people in the north can cook, Qing Li Li really wanted to cook a few dishes for herself, but Madam Yu didn't allow it, she insisted that Miss Da's ten fingers are not in the sun.

The ditty of the red carp is very good. It’s not from the capital, it’s Wu Nong’s soft language from Jiangnan. The Zhuangtou lady is a woman from Jiangnan. Ask her dad more.

"Red Carp, this little song is from Jiangnan, it's really nice."

The cuckoo applauds the face. The voice is soft and has a local accent, which makes people can enter the rainy scene of Jiangnan water town. Several boat girls are wearing calico clothes and singing ditties while holding a boat on the river. In the short bungalows, there are also many women washing clothes by the river, beating the clothes with wooden sticks, and laughing softly.

Red Carp then sang a few ditties until Qingli finished eating. Although he could not speak during the meal, some entertainment items were really good. No wonder the ancients often listened to ditties or watched operas in teahouses. boring time.

"Nurse Yu, I remember I have a small box, go find a pouch and put two silver coins for the red carp."

Qingli moved out a box from the space, which was full of silver curries, eight and five cents, very auspicious in shape, goldfish, oranges, small ingots, and many fruits. You can fight, but the business was closed during the epidemic in the first year, and she forgot about it. These are all used to reward Xiaowa.
