Chapter 919: call
Li Haitang couldn't wait to take out a piece of air-dried beef jerky from her cloth pocket. She saw that there was no red chili powder on it, took a bite, and found that the taste was spicy, and the beef could be shredded by hand, and it was delicious. .
"I don't know if it's a psychological effect. The potatoes eaten in Kyoto are not as good as the sand in the Northland. The taste is far worse."
After Li Haitang finished speaking, he stared eagerly at the potatoes in the basket, and various dishes with potatoes appeared in his mind, and he decided to eat it tonight.
"Tell me about you..."
Zhang Ruyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She thought that when Li Haitang came to the capital, she would be able to be turned around by the strict etiquette and the wives holding them, but she was still her and had never changed.
Coming to Kyoto from Beidi, Zhang Ruyi once worried about what to bring. Li Haitang was not short of money, and she didn’t like jewelry. If it was fabrics and gadgets, there was nothing more complete than in Kyoto. She couldn’t come empty-handed, and she was troubled for several days. .
Lan Yi, on the other hand, heard that she was coming to Kyoto, so she hurriedly brought over two jars of mountain wine, and picked wild chestnuts, mountain mushrooms, and wild walnuts in the back mountain.
When Zhang Ruyi saw it, his eyes lit up. What Haitang needed was not precious things, but local specialties from the Northland.
For this reason, she made a special trip up the mountain, fished out two huge black fish from the deep pool in Li Haitang's house, and made them into salted fish.
Li Haitang: ...
It feels like everything is at home. Zhang Ruyi and Ruan Pingzhi are just porters. No, none of the black fish in the backyard fell, they brought them all!
Li Haitang couldn't wait to turn around and make a big pot of pickled black fish with chili and dried plums.
Prepare to order more dishes today, to welcome Ruan Pingzhi and Zhang Ruyi.
The three of you talked to each other, and I talked to each other. Along the way, Zhang Ruyi also bought local specialties, but those were not a little bit worse than the mountain treasures in the Northland.
The two sisters, Bai Bing and Bai Shuang, kept looking for opportunities to intervene. The two were in the Northland, so they wanted to come back with their wife.
Bai Bing was seriously injured, while Bai Shuang was better. She was in a stable condition for a few days, taking care of her sister. Without their wife, they were just like abandoned puppies, pitifully.
"lady."
After finally catching the opportunity, Bai Shuang shouted first to increase her sense of presence.
"Bai Shuang, Zhuang Zishang is home, if you don't understand anything, just ask Nanny Yu and Wu Fu."
There was a gap, and Li Haitang finally noticed her two maids. She stepped forward and felt the pulse of the two. Bai Shuang had no problem at all, but although Bai Bing recovered from the trauma, it was dangerous at that time, hurting internal organs, and needed to be recuperated for a while. . She saw the scars on Bai Bing's body and blinked her eyes. Women love beauty. She also had a box of Yurong Ointment for Bai Bing. Although the scars were too deep and proliferated, they could not be completely removed, but if she persisted in applying them, it would only leave a faint mark
.
"Ma'am, Bai Bing and Bai Shuang haven't been to Kyoto yet, shall I take them to the market?"
Wufu couldn't stay at home, and always wanted to run away, and now he had a perfect excuse.
"Go, see if there are any good dishes, and buy some more."
After Li Haitang finished speaking, he gave Wufu another purse, which contained some scattered silver taels.
Before the new year, the market in Kyoto was overcrowded, and it was open from morning to night. At this time, there were snacks in the market. She sent a few people out for a walk, and asked Wu Fu to eat and drink with Bai Bing and Bai Shuang.
The food prepared by the family was limited before, but now that there are more people, all the New Year's goods have to be doubled.
"Ma'am, this is the old slave making brown sugar biscuits."
The sky was gloomy and the cold wind was blowing, but the heat of the hot spring village was not bad. A lot of vegetables were planted by Madam Yu near the hot spring, so that in winter, there would be no shortage of vegetables at home.
Zhang Ruyi and Ruan Pingzhi were on their way, plus the fifth son. The three of them hadn't eaten yet. There was no fire at home right now, and Nanny Yu was studying the brown sugar biscuits that Li Haitang had mentioned.
The so-called brown sugar is to continue to boil the brown sugar until it turns black, two biscuits, with brown sugar in the middle, and when the brown sugar cools, it becomes brittle and does not stick to the teeth at all.
"Little Wu, when you come to my aunt, it's like your own home, you know, you play with Doubao, otherwise your brother won't know you."
Li Haitang patted Xiao Wuzi's head. This little baby has grown taller and has more flesh. It is not at all the same as the kid who was bullied in Heishui Village.
Little Wuzi nodded obediently, and took Li Haitang's hand. He missed his aunt very much in Beidi, and now he is the happiest person when he comes to Kyoto.
"go Go!"
As soon as everyone left, the flower hall seemed much empty. Wrapped in a thin quilt, Li Haitang talked about the climate in Kyoto. She is pregnant now and cannot soak in hot springs for a long time. With a big belly every day, she feels heavy when she walks.
Seeing that the two sisters had something to say, Ruan Pingzhi asked to go to Zhuangzi and take a look at their yard.
"I didn't share the bed with your cousin, nor did I share the same room."
As soon as Ruan Ping left, Zhang Ruyi threw a bomb.
It took Li Haitang a long time to react. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Why?"
Married is a family, could it be that Ruan Pingzhi dislikes Zhang Ruyi?
Many men have taboos towards women who have had miscarriages, but she always feels that her cousin is an open-minded person, not that kind of pedantic scholar.
Li Haitang came to her senses and realized that Zhang Ruyi called her "your cousin" instead of "Ping Zhi" in front of everyone.
"only…"
Zhang Ruyi sighed, there were too many Yingying and Yanyan around Ruan Pingzhi, he took Xiaowu with him, and there was no woman at home, so he was not in good shape.
And she herself, just broke up with Lu Yuanqing, it is not easy for a woman to support her family, and she is easy to suffer from gossip.
While Zhang Ruyi was recuperating, someone jumped into the yard in the middle of the night, which startled her.
It happened that Ruan Pingzhi needed a partner to live together, and the two were well matched, so they got together and had a game.
Originally, Zhang Ruyi didn't even want to hold a wedding banquet, but the name was not right, and the neighbors didn't know it, as if she was just messing around.
No, he made a special effort to make a big noise, and Tassel sent a lot of things.
In a marriage, more attention is paid to the situation. He and she are not blank paper, and ink has already been stained on it. Speaking of it, it is regarded as sympathy.
Zhang Ruyi thinks so, and it's not bad. She paid so much for Lu Yuanqing, but did she get anything in the end?
Perhaps, being born in Zhang's family is doomed not to lead an ordinary life. Marriage is conditional, and the most basic thing is being in a good family.
"Haitang, you don't have to worry about me, this is probably the best home for me."
Zhang Ruyi sighed, she didn't have any children herself, so she felt pity for Xiao Wuzi, who already called her mother. The relationship between her and Ruan Pingzhi is stable, it should be said that there is no relationship, and the fifth son is the only link between them.
