Chapter 325 Osmanthus Dessert
Orange came in from the outside, with an unhappy expression on her face, snorted: "Sister-in-law said that we don't seem to be doing work. Yesterday, I heard from my grandma and sister Fangcao that eating sweet-scented osmanthus snacks every now and then is a shame." Enough. What do you need so many sweet-scented osmanthus flowers now? Although there are not many sweet-scented osmanthus flowers, you only make a few pieces of snacks. Isn’t it delicious? There was a light rain in the middle of the afternoon yesterday, and the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers fell a lot Well, I found these ten or so flowers after searching in the garden for a long time."

Sister-in-law Yu spat and scolded with a smile: "If I say one sentence, you will have ten sentences waiting there. I am ashamed to say that I have searched for a long time, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is only a few days away? Is this what it is? Look at me. I know, it must be that you are too lazy to go deep into the garden and pick some false stories outside. If you go deep, I don’t believe there are no good sweet-scented osmanthus. It’s not that season yet. Although grandma hates eating, don’t you know Is the one who comes here every day to order mao necessary to eat?"

Juzi snorted and said, "Did you not get enough of that person's anger? I heard that my sister-in-law used to be in the kitchen, and she let that person get out because of trivial things. If Aunt Xiao hadn’t told grandma to transfer you here to work in the kitchen, you are still washing clothes with those poor servants. Now you want to serve her so carefully to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake? The serious master in our courtyard, why do you care about her?"

Sister-in-law Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister Xie, listen to what this little hoof says? Now he can stir up trouble and sow discord. Yes, I am angry, but where is this? This is Suimingyuan, you treat me as my true love Make it for her? But if it’s perfunctory, what will she do if she eats more and less? It’s our grandma’s face, let her go out and gossip that grandma doesn’t care about her, and she doesn’t even give up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, alienating in disguise She, after all, she has been in this family for so many years, and there were some people under her in the past, is it because of us that grandma is called such a name? It's really ignorant. "

Hearing what she said, Juzi scratched his head and said, "What should I do? I didn't think of this level. Maybe I have to go to the garden again." After speaking, he was about to go out, but he heard Xie's family laughing: "Why bother? It rained yesterday, although it wasn't heavy, but the smell of osmanthus was also affected. When I came in yesterday morning, I happened to see Miss Xiu holding a few osmanthus flowers. The color and aroma are really excellent I also praised Miss Xiu a few words, she said that it took a lot of trouble to find it in the depths of the garden. You go and talk to Miss Fangcao right now, that big branch is full of flowers, and you can get a dozen more flowers It’s hard to tell. It hasn’t been rained, and the fragrance is strong. Now there are not many sweet-scented osmanthus, and grandma doesn’t like to eat it, so I just make a plate for that person to eat. Wouldn’t it be cheaper?”

Sister-in-law Yu said with a smile: "It's a good idea to be serious, so let's do it this way. Miss Fangcao is also kind." After speaking, Juzi also smiled and said: "It just so happens that I will go to the garden again." Lifted the curtain and went out.

After arriving outside the main room, Juzi asked the two little girls guarding the door: "Is grandma in the room?"

The two little girls smiled and said: "Not here, only Sister Fangcao and Pin'er Yan'er are cleaning up, Ju Zi, you are not working hard in the kitchen, why is it the other way around? You can also come in this main room?"

Juzi stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, and said in a low voice: "I'll go in today and show you, hum! I sympathize with your hard work, so I don't need you to lift the curtain." After speaking, he lifted the curtain and went in, only to hear The two little girls laughed outside and said, "You have such a big face, and you expect us to lift the curtain for you, it's a dream."

When Fangcao heard the voice outside, she couldn't help turning her head. Seeing that it was an orange, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you here? That's just right. Grandma is really tired of sweet-scented osmanthus dim sum. Go back and tell Sister Yu that it's called white sugar cake." Come with shortbread, grandma's favorite."

Orange smiled and said: "Yes, I'll tell you when I get back." After speaking, she went to Fangcao's side, and sure enough, she saw a large vase on the table next to the east wall, which contained several blooming osmanthus flowers, so Then he smiled and said: "My good sister, there are not enough sweet-scented osmanthus in the kitchen. It rained again yesterday, and the flowers in the garden lost their taste. Although grandma doesn't eat them, Aunt Yuan likes them. The sweet-scented osmanthus blooms here It's getting a little secret, why don't you give me some back to the kitchen to do business?"

Fangcao poked her finger and scolded with a smile: "You will be lazy, and you came up with the idea of ​​sweet-scented osmanthus here, Shao Hu, you don't know who, every day you come here, you must measure and compare. This is Xiu It took a lot of effort for the girl to find it, so you have the nerve to take advantage of it?"

When the words fell, Zhong Xiu came in from the outside, asked the reason, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, grandma also said that although these flowers are good, some of them are too dense, so they are not beautiful. Since they are used in the kitchen, we choose the color." Okay, just pinch a dozen or so and go there."

Orange smiled and said: "Miss Xiu's words are a layman's. How can the sweet-scented osmanthus that makes desserts have a good color? Naturally, it must be delicious." Before she finished speaking, Zhong Xiu came up and tried to twist her mouth. , and said with a smile: "I'll tell you how to tell if you have a good mouth, but you can tell the difference? I don't believe you can tell the difference, unless you have a dog's nose. Either the color is good or the taste is good. How about fragrant ones?"

They were chatting and joking here, Yan'er laughed and said: "Speaking of color, it's true that all the people in this mansion combined are not as good as Aunt Yuan's."

Seeing everyone looking at her after speaking, Fangcao sneered and said, "She's pretty good looking? Not to mention our grandma, it's Aunt Xiao. I think she's much better than her. It's a pity that Aunt Xiao is not blessed. It's a disease, even if grandma is taking care of it now, it still has shortcomings after all." She was talking about something that Aunt Xiao couldn't understand, but it's not easy to say such things in front of little girls, let alone her. Although a marriage was arranged, but now she has not passed the door, she is still a girl.

Yan'er smiled and said: "What my sister said is that there is only one thing, but even Aunt Xiao can't compare to it. Have you ever seen blood-red nails like Aunt Yuan's? It's really ten bright fingers. tight."

Before the words fell, everyone laughed.Fangcao also smiled and bent over, pointing at Yan'er and said: "But you can talk smartly, can't you? When it comes to this, no one dares to compare. Speaking of it, I am also curious. I don't think I've seen it before, Pin'er, was Aunt Yuan willing to paint her nails like this in the yard over there?"

Pin'er laughed and said: "When I was on an errand there, my aunt probably didn't want to be so frivolous because of being in charge of the house. I didn't see such red painted nails, but I never worked in the house, maybe I didn't pay attention. maybe."

Fangcao smiled and said: "I'm just wondering, she is a girl from an official's family, why is she so careless in her work now? The red nails are too brightly painted, I'm afraid people won't see it. Could it be because there is something wrong?" Because of being pregnant, why do you prefer these bright colors? Otherwise, why wouldn’t Aunt Xiao act like this?”

Pin'er said with a smile: "My sisters feel that Aunt Xiao is better now." After speaking, Ju Zi also laughed and said: "I can't blame everyone for being partial. Although Aunt Xiao is ill, her words and deeds are dignified, and she is kind. Grandma also knows the importance of her status in front of her, how can she be like that Aunt Yuan? If she really has a body, she will be crazy and don't know what to do, don't look at her always coming to our side now, she doesn't know what she's up to."

After finishing speaking, Fangcao scolded: "Nonsense, you can say these things too? Looking at me looser, your mouth is getting more and more out of control, right? How many flowers do you want to pinch oranges? Don't these Isn’t it enough? Do you have to pinch off the two flowers before giving up?”

Orange stuck out her tongue, seeing that the flowers in the small box were almost ready, she thanked Fangcao Zhongxiu, and ran out in a hurry.

After she ran away, she saw two sisters, Su Yinyu and Su Yincai, approaching, and they both smiled and said, "Where is sister-in-law? Let's go to the old lady's room with her. How much did you eat yesterday? Can you still think?" Are you sick?"

Fangcao hurriedly smiled and led them to the inner room, saying: "The red bean porridge I ate last night was very good, I ate half a bowl, and I didn't vomit. Only these days, because Aunt Yuan always came over, I ate sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Tired of eating, I want to eat some white sugar cakes and shortbread today, so I ordered the kitchen to prepare them."

While talking, Ruan Yunsi heard Ruan Yunsi say in the room: "Is the third and fourth girl here? I just finished washing here, come in quickly, let's go to greet the old lady together." After speaking, she welcomed them in.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law talked for a while, and then they went out. When they reached the main room, Su Yincai smiled and said, "The osmanthus flowers that were picked yesterday have fallen like this today? This room has not experienced wind and rain."

Fangcao laughed and said, "It didn't fall down, but someone picked it up. It just so happens that it looks better this way. What does grandma think?"

Ruan Yunsi didn't care about this at first, but now she looked over and nodded, "That's really good." After she finished speaking, she left the room, Fang Cao gave a few words to the little girls, and then followed.

*************************************
Coming out of the old lady's room, Aunt Yuan really wanted to come to Ruan Yunsi again.Su Yinyu and Su Yincai saw that she was running to Shuimingyuan every day, knowing that Ruan Yunsi was actually impatient to deal with it, so she also followed.

Sitting in the main room, Ruan Yunsi ordered tea and snacks, but Su Yinyu said with a smile: "Auntie Yuan praised sister-in-law's sweet-scented osmanthus snacks here, why don't we try them."

After finishing speaking, I saw a few little girls walking in with a few plates of dim sum. Hearing that Su Yinyu had asked for sweet-scented osmanthus dim sum by name, Ju Zi laughed and said, "Oh, it's a coincidence. It rained yesterday, and the garden A lot of sweet-scented osmanthus has fallen, and our grandma is tired of sweet-scented osmanthus snacks, so I only prepared a plate for my aunt. The girl wants to eat, but there is no one at the moment. Why don't you wait for the afternoon, when the servants make the kitchen ready, and give it to the girl herself Send it over."
