Chapter 219 Gentle and pleasant?

  Amei thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since Miss Guan said so, the servant girl remembered that there is really one thing missing in this kitchen."

   "Oh, what is it?"

  Guan Ji's eyes showed concern.

"It's the peach branches. Drinking peach soup on New Year's Day can dispel evil spirits and control all ghosts. The servant girl forgot about it yesterday, and was thinking of picking some peach branches later. If Mrs. Guan can help, that's it." It's better."

   "It's convenient, so I'll go pick peach branches."

  Guan Ji showed joy, and immediately turned around and left.

  Amei watched Guan Ji's figure disappear into the blurred morning light, and couldn't help showing a smile on her face. After thinking about it, she bent down and picked up the washed peach branches in the basket, and stuffed them behind the firewood.

  Feng Yong woke up from his sleep, only feeling dry mouth.

  This fire pit is good for everything, but the body tends to lose water easily.

  It was already daylight outside, but the inside of the house was still dark, and only a little outline of the screen in front of the kang could be seen.

  It really takes courage to get up from the warm kang in winter. Feng Yong turned over, closed his eyes again, and shouted: "Amei, Amei..."

  I feel my throat is dry and my voice is a little hoarse. This is due to the loss of too much water in my body after a night of sleep.

  The door was opened with a "squeak", and then a footstep came in.

   "Give me some water, I'm so thirsty."

  The person who came did not speak, but lit the candles in the house, and then heard the sound of "gululu" pouring water from outside the screen. After a while, a hand holding a bowl of water was handed over.

  Feng Yong opened his dim eyes, took the bowl and poured it vigorously, only to find that the water was icy cold after filling it.

   Immediately excited by the cold water, I felt that my throat was finally moistened a lot, and my voice returned to normal: "This water, why is it ice?"

  The people outside seemed to be taken aback, and whispered: "I'm sorry..."

  Feng Tubie, who had just woken up, was still not fully awake. He shook his head, but felt that his mind was still a little drowsy, as if he was about to fall asleep at any time.

   "Hey, in this winter, I really don't want to wake up. It would be nice if I could lie down with my quilt wrapped around me all day long? Bring my clothes here."

  Feng Yong muttered, and gave another order.

  The clothes were quickly handed over again.

  Feng Tubie took it over, only to feel that the clothes in his hands were not warm at all, they hadn't been heated like in the past, and immediately felt that Amei is a bit weird today.

   "You girl, what's going on today? The water I gave was ice, and the clothes I gave were cold. I didn't sleep well last night, and I lost my head this morning?"

  Feng Yongxu said, "You just met such a talkative master like me. If you made such a mistake in someone else's house, are you afraid you will be punished?"

  Although he said so, Feng Yong didn't mean much to blame.

  Amei, this girl, rarely makes mistakes on weekdays. These days, she studies hard and makes mistakes occasionally. Feng Yong can't bear to blame her.

  While talking, she put the clothes under the quilt and covered them, and it took a long time before she lay in the quilt and wriggled and tossed and put them on.

   Then he stood up.

   Unexpectedly, as soon as he crossed the screen and saw the children outside, Feng Tubie was so frightened that he immediately bent down.

   "San... Sanniang, why are you here? Where's that girl, Amei?"

  Feng Tubie bent over and asked stammeringly.

   "Today is New Year's Day, and Amei is busy preparing New Year's Day meals in the kitchen. I don't have time to come over to help my brother get up early, so my younger sister will do it for me."

  Under the dim light, Guan Ji's face was red, and she looked away flickeringly, not daring to look at Feng Yong.

   "Then thank you Sanniang."

  If it was a different day, Feng Tubie would have been delighted to have Guan Ji like this, but now that he is in this situation, he dare not let Guan Ji see it.

  I saw him crying, "Why didn't Sanniang say anything just now, I thought you were Amei."

   "The matter of delivering clothes with water is just a matter of little sister's effort, so why do you care about it?"

  Guan Ji said so, but her face turned redder and brighter.

   "Then I wonder if Sanniang has anything else to do?"

  Guan Ji heard that Feng Tubie wanted to drive people away, she couldn't help being stunned, and then felt ashamed and angry, she had already achieved this step, never thought that this guy would be so incomprehensible.

   "No more, my little sister went out first."

Like a hot fire being poured by ice water, Guan Ji's heart became cold for a while, and her face involuntarily returned to the cold look she used to have in front of outsiders. She tried her best to maintain a flat tone and said, trying not to let Feng Yong hear The tremor in her voice.

  Feng Tubie is also a person who has been rolled in lust, how could he not know that he said the wrong thing in a moment of anxiety?

   Quickly remedied: "It would be best if San Niang is fine, can you do me another favor? Bring me some water, remember to ask for lukewarm water."

  When Guan Ji heard this, she couldn't hold back anymore, and said "speech", "Where do I have such free time? You will ask Amei to serve you later."

   After speaking, he ran away as if fleeing.

   "Hey, Sanniang, don't worry, how about helping me this time?"

  Feng Tubie pretended to shout from behind, but it made Guan Ji escape even faster.

  After Guan Ji disappeared, Feng Ji heaved a sigh, then sighed again.

  At the same time, I secretly wondered, Guan Ji has become more and more weird these days, and I don't know what's going on?

  But Guan Ji ran out of Feng Yong's room, found a secluded corner, and gasped heavily while clutching her chest.

   After I calmed down a bit, I became a little worried again.

  Thinking that my aunt only said that men in the world like gentle and pleasant women, but how to be gentle and pleasant, she didn't mention it, and I don't know how to do it?

  Nowadays in the circle of noble ladies in Jincheng, it is rumored that the fourth lady of the Xixiang Hou Mansion, the queen's younger sister, has been named Zhang Xingyi—that is to say, she is ready to marry.

  She knew that before her brother came to Hanzhong, if the wife of the Zhang family hadn't made up her mind in the end, the queen would have made Siniang and her brother engaged.

  Before Sanniang entered the palace, she could be regarded as her good sister. Of course, she knew this empress of the Han Dynasty clearly, but she was more brilliant than most men in the world, and her heart was even more tenacious.

  A few days ago, another imperial edict came from the palace to let my elder brother concurrently serve as the supervisor of Hanzhong Metallurgy.

  Aunt's letter also mentioned this matter, saying that it was the queen's intention to win over her brother.

  So, I’m afraid that the queen never gave up her intention of marrying Si Niang to her brother, otherwise, the aunt would not let herself be more gentle and pleasant, and even try to cater to her brother.

well!

  Guan Ji sighed and scratched her head. I don't know if what happened just now is considered gentle and pleasant? just feel so ashamed...

  I hope not to be looked down upon by my brother.

   "New Year's Day? Do you want to eat these things?"

After Feng Yong finished washing and exercising habitually, he sat in the big room, watched Amei serving breakfast, and pointed to the five things on the plate: onions, garlic, leeks, brassicas, and coriander , asked in surprise.

   "Still raw..."
