Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 190 Roasted Chestnuts

After the first month, the days seem to be a lot more leisurely.

Yinzhen spends most of his time in his room looking at documents such as local annals and water conservancy, and Tong Jia Xili has nothing to do.

Occasionally accompany Yinzhen to read books, or help Yinzhen grind ink.When I was really impatient, I talked to Caiwei.

Xiao Shunzi went out on the second day of the first lunar month.

It was Su Peisheng who wanted to help Yinzhen buy some things, but Su Peisheng was busy with work and had to help Yinzhen sort out the books, so he sent Xiao Shunzi out.

In the evening of the second day of junior high school, when Tong Jia Xili and Caiwei were kicking shuttlecocks in the courtyard of Chengqian Palace, Xiao Shunzi came back quietly.There are many things in his hand, as if they were purchased for Yinzhen.

The relationship between Tao Yao and Xiao Shunzi was pretty good, and when she saw Xiao Shunzi coming back, she waved and shouted, "Where did you go? Why did you bring so many things back?"

Xiao Shunzi was carrying so many things, her face was blushing, and she hurriedly said: "What's the fun, come and help me get some!"

"Come on, come on."

Taoyao threw the shuttlecock to Musang, and then went to help with Caiwei.

Tong Jia Xili was also on the side, so they passed together.

"What did you buy?" Taoyao was helping Xiao Shunzi carry things, while poking her head around to see what was in the package.

But Xiao Shunzi smiled mysteriously and said, "I can't tell you that."

As he said that, he carried his things and walked towards Yinzhen.

Facing Xiao Shunzi's rhetoric, Taoyao naturally didn't buy it, and muttered dissatisfiedly, but she suddenly saw that there seemed to be something in Xiao Shunzi's arms.

"What are you?"

Tao Yao had sharp eyes and quick hands, and immediately pulled the thing out of Xiao Shunzi's arms.It turned out to be a warm paper bag.

There are things in the paper bag, one by one.

"Give it back to me!"

When this thing was pulled out by Taoyao, Xiao Shunzi became anxious all of a sudden, he didn't even care about the things he was carrying in his hand for Yinzhen, so he stretched out his hand in a hurry to snatch the things back.

"Give it back to me!"

Xiao Shunzi was so anxious that he wanted to jump, but Taoyao had already taken out the contents from the paper bag.

It was brown and round, and exuded a faint aroma. It turned out to be roasted chestnuts!
Taoyao was also greedy all of a sudden, grabbed a handful of roasted chestnuts and stuffed them into her pocket, then returned the paper bag to Xiao Shunzi, and ran a little farther away.

"So I bought this good thing." Taoyao happily covered her pocket, and said, "You are too stingy, you still hide it and refuse to tell us."

Xiao Shunzi was about to cry, looking at the small half of the paper bag that Taoyao had taken away, he said to Tong Jia Xili aggrievedly: "Tong Gege, you have to make decisions for the slaves."

"My servant only has some ideas for moon silver. After buying these roasted chestnuts, there won't be much left." Xiao Shunzi said, "I think it's so easy to eat for the Chinese New Year."

...

Xiao Shunzi was an apprentice under Su Peisheng, so he naturally didn't have that much money.

In addition, Xiao Shunzi also wanted to save money right now, hoping to build a house for her grandma and younger brother outside the palace, so she always lived frugally.

Eating roasted chestnuts once is considered a luxury for him, and he dare not buy more.

Seeing this appearance, Tong Jia Xili immediately said to Taoyao: "Look at you, you are used to bullying people."

After finishing speaking, he took some silver coins to Xiao Shunzi and said, "Next time you go out of the palace, tell me and help me buy some roasted chestnuts, and give you some travel expenses, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Shunzi smiled through his tears, and then went to Yinzhen's side with the things.

Behind Tong Jia Xi Li, Tao Yao stuck out her tongue apologetically, peeled a chestnut and handed it to Tong Jia Xi Li, then said: "I also took some because I thought you like roasted chestnuts."

"Good Gege, don't blame the slaves."

Tong Jia Xili reluctantly took the roasted chestnuts, and said, "Xiao Shunzi is simple-minded, so don't bully him all the time. It's just acquaintances, and others must not be like this, you know?"

If he meets someone narrow-minded, he might hold Taoyao in a grudge.

"Your servant knows." Taoyao nodded obediently, and said: "The servant is also like this because he is familiar with Xiao Shunzi. Don't worry, the servant will remember Xiao Shunzi's share of good things on weekdays, and will not treat him badly." of."

In this way, Tong Jia Xili nodded and stuffed the peeled roasted chestnut into his mouth.

It is sweet, soft and glutinous in the mouth, powdery, and it really has an excellent taste.

Tong Jia Xili couldn't help but took a few more from Taoyao, peeled and ate them together.

"Gege, tell me, is roasted chestnuts more delicious, or roasted sweet potatoes more delicious?"

Tao Yao, who is also a foodie, scratched her head and asked in confusion.

These two are things that are only available in winter.They are all fragrant, waxy, soft and sweet, and they are very delicious, but if you want to judge the priority, who should be ranked first, and who should be ranked behind?
About this question…

Tong Jia Xili also thought about it seriously, but she couldn't seem to come up with any answer.In the blink of an eye, the few roasted chestnuts in front of me were eaten up by the master and the servant.

"It's really too little."

Taoyao was a little annoyed, and said depressedly: "It was so good when I was in Tong's mansion. If you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes and roasted chestnuts, you can just turn the corner when you go out."

"now…"

Staring at the chestnut shells in front of her eyes, Taoyao mourned: "Now there are so few, we have to share them with our master and servant. It's really rich, the wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road."

...

What kind of metaphor is this?
Tong Jiaxi gave Taoyao a white look, and said with a wry smile: "This line of your poem is not used in this way..."

But just now, Tong Jia Xili had an extra thought.Since Xiao Shunzi can leave the palace to buy things, can she also leave the palace?
If possible, wouldn't it be better to ask Shang Yinzhen to go out together?
Such a beautiful thing, Tong Jia Xili has already finalized it in her heart.On the other hand, Yinzhen, who was in the hall at the other end, was watching with a doll under the candlelight.

It's a rabbit master, with a strange appearance, and it's funny to look at.

"This Mr. Rabbit looks unique." Su Peisheng said as he was arranging the things that Xiao Shunzi had bought, looking at Mr. Rabbit.

The things that Xiao Shunzi went out to buy from the palace were bought by Yinzhen for Brother Thirteen and Princess Jingyi.They were young, and elder brother had so many things, so he thought of buying some toys from the people for them to play with.

But Yinzhen was a little bit reluctant to part with this lovely rabbit master.

Wouldn't it be happier for Xili to give such a cute and funny master rabbit to her?

PS:

No, Xili only wants to eat roasted chestnuts.
