The Possession of My Beloved (Hidden Charm) - Chapter 148

    Miantang poured a cup of herbal tea for Cui Xingzhou, and was seeing the dolls hanging on the railings, smiling and instructing Bi Cao to cut the prepared pot of cold cake into pieces for the dolls to eat .

    At the beginning, those dark children were a little timid and didn’t dare to grasp.

     Officers and soldiers have come here before, saying that they came to destroy the Japanese. But right after he arrived, he went from house to house to collect money to arrest people to perform corvée and build gutter barracks. Usually after a tossing, the officers and soldiers were dispersed by the Japanese, and there was no more text.

    Such a tossing and turning, the local people are also miserable, thinking that these officers and soldiers are even more hateful than the Japanese.

    This time there are more officers and soldiers than the previous few times. Naturally, the camps that were left behind were not enough. Their parents hid all the rice, grain, chicken and duck left in the family in the mountains early in the morning. Even if these officers and soldiers came to search the house, they would not be able to find it.

    If the herbal tea wasn’t too sweet this time, they wouldn’t dare to come over. But I didn’t expect that a fairy-like elder sister smiled and asked them if they would eat cold cakes.

    For a time, the children were struggling. Looking at the tangled faces, Miantang simply walked over and stuffed the big bowl into the lead eldest child: “Go, go back and eat it yourself!”

    The child immediately turned around and ran away with the basin, followed by the children who were coaxing flying like bees.

    Miantang smiled and watched the group of children run away, and turned to see Cui Xingzhou looking at him thoughtfully.

    Miantang wiped his mouth with a towel and asked, “Would you like another bowl?”

    Cui Xingzhou folded her hair wet with sweat on her temples, and said, “If those children return the basin, let me know.”

    “Huh?”

      Come?”

    Mian Tang smiled and said, “It’s not a big deal to send tea, it’s important to see you by the way… Tomorrow there will be not only herbal tea, but also mung bean soup. Today I think many soldiers will not be able to eat, and tomorrow I will let Li Mom made some delicious jelly and brought it with me.”

    The climate in the North Sea is hot, although many soldiers have no shelters, but if it does not rain, they can last for a few days. But once you can’t eat, your body will soon be unable to support it.

    Nowadays, many soldiers have fallen down because of unacceptable conditions, and many people have diarrhea and faint dehydration. Although Miantang had consulted an experienced Langzhong in the capital early, prepared enough herbs, and the Langzhong who accompanied the army also diagnosed and treated in time, there were still many people who could not eat.

    Miantang felt that since she was here, she couldn’t be a burdensome family member. She always had to help her husband. The most important thing was to make some delicious meals. Soldiers to adjust their appetite.

    When they came out of the barracks, many soldiers had already begun to rest. They saw a few incense sticks of mosquitoes in the simple grass hut, and they were about to fall asleep.

    The local mosquito bites very badly. If you don’t apply the herbs to repellent insects, you can get a hawthorn-sized swollen lump in one bite.

    In fact, it’s not just the camp where the soldiers have no cover, even the mansion where Miantang and the others live now is dilapidated. Cangwu County was so poor that it was impossible to pick out any decent house for the prince from the capital to live in.

    Master Su originally planned to give up his house to Cui Xingzhou. The room was all tidied up, but Cui Xingzhou politely declined and moved into the house where Master Su was going to move.

    Because of the humid climate of the North Sea, the wood used to build the house must be soaked in lime for preservative preservation. If the maintenance is not careful, the life of the house will not be too long.

      If there is more smoke, wait for the new beam to dry before replacing it.

    Mian Tang thought that Cui Fu and Li Guangcai were going to get married in Beihai, so she gave them the best room in this house. At least it can survive the ceremony.

    Cui Fu was a little dumbfounded in the room next to her. When she came to Beihai, she was really run on by the Duke of Qing. Although I knew that this place was not as good as the capital, I really didn’t expect it to be like this.

    Jiner cried three times when she saw this broken house. She was too old to cry with her son, but she felt very sad.

    In the end, when Jin Er saw a cockroach the size of a finger lying on the beam and ready to take off, he was so fine that he was so frightened that he burst into tears again.

    Liu Miantang was standing in the yard to supervise the work. When she heard Jin’er cry, she strode in, followed Jin’er’s fingers and looked over. She picked up the embroidered shoes on her feet and jumped on one foot. He got up and slapped the cockroach to death with a click.

    It doesn’t count, she also raised the cockroach beard with one hand and frowned at Jin’er: “You’re a little man after the new year, why do you like to cry so much? You didn’t look at your mother. Your face turned pale from fright? Next time you see these things, as long as they are not poisonous snakes, you will smack the soles of your shoes. They are not as big as you, so I am afraid of what he will do.”

    Jin’er cried halfway, and was yelled back by her aunt. She stared straight at the cockroach and said timidly, “Aunt… Are there any snakes here?”

    At this time, Xiao Yi’er, who was being held by her nanny, looked at the bug in her mother’s hand, babbling desperately with her little fat hand to her drooling mouth, That means wanting to try it.

    I didn’t even feel scared when I saw my little brother, Jin’er was even more embarrassed to cry.

    Lu Zhong and Lu Yi were working on the roof, Lu Liang helped with the minor work, and Lu Quan was so tired that he put his hands on his hips, watching the children in the next room crying like chickens and dogs, he whispered cursing. Said: “I also said that I married our big boss and let her live a life of golden branches and jade leaves. What happened? Shit! Just live in this shabby house. I think the country landlords are better than him.”

    Miantang was coming out of the room. Hearing this, he walked over and patted his head, saying, “What are you talking about? If you are disrespectful to the prince again, I will slap you carefully!”

    Cui Fu followed behind her, and just happened to come out. After listening to Lu Quan’s words, she felt that her face, as a Cui family member, was really hard to hang on her face, so she could only whisper: “I don’t blame him. Said, boating really made you suffer…”

    The younger brother’s military is very important at the moment, how can the family members who come with them cause trouble. But he also lived in a dilapidated house, and he was only dumbfounded for a whole day, but Miantang was in charge of everything inside and outside the house, and she was in good order, and there was no sign of her sorrow at all.

    Cui Fu always felt that she was much better than Liu Miantang in the affairs of the inner house, so when she was in Zhenzhou, she was not very worried about Miantang’s housekeeper.

    To be honest, although this yard is messy and looks like a lot of waste, but Miantang feels that living in a mansion and mansion in the capital is much more enjoyable, at least not here. Intrigue, intrigue.

    But after hearing what Cui Fu said, she also knew that Cui Fu was not very comfortable here, so she chuckled and took her hand: “It’s a bit hard right now, but sister needs to know that life It would be no fun if you were all guarding one side of the house. Do you think that there are a few women in the world like you and me, who have traveled all over the North and South, and experienced such different customs? It is said that men are more ambitious than women. , can endure hardships, but because they have the heart of travel, they only want to increase their knowledge, not to take root, count their fingers to live, naturally climb the peaks like crossing the mounds, crossing the big river like crossing the mud pond, this broad-minded and open-minded It has nothing to do with being male or female.”

    I think she is also a person who is familiar with the book of sages and sages. She used to envy the sage men to travel and study. The terroir, but only thinking about the old and new houses and the soft and soft beds come up!

    Thinking of this, she cheered up her spirits, and said to Miantang with the grace of a daughter of the Cui family: “Let me do the repairing of the house at home, you are not busy giving Do you prepare soup in the military? You don’t have to worry about family affairs.”

    Seeing that my sister’s eyes seemed to dissipate a little sadness and brighter, Mian Tang smiled slightly: “When the house is tidy, they go to fight their battles, we Have a good time playing!”

    Cui Fu saw that what she said was heartless, so she twisted her nose and said: “You said it witty, when the war really starts, I see if you still have the heart to play !”

    The next day, Miantang and Li’s mother got up early to boil herbal tea and mung bean soup, made several large pots of jelly, and put them in the car to rush to the military camp.

    When she was about to get to the military camp, Miantang saw several dirty children gathered outside the military camp in the car, and couldn’t stop looking at her carriage.

    Mian Tang instructed the coachman to stop the carriage at the gate of the barracks and walked out. The children gathered in front of the carriage, and a boy raised his hand, raised the basin high, and handed it to Miantang.

    This basin is made of refined copper. It is something in the inner courtyard of Miantang. It is very delicate. Philip.

    Miantang looked at his hopeful face, smiled and said: “Wait, there is still food to eat today.” After saying that, let Bicao bring out a pot of herbal tea on the carriage , handed to the boy.
