Chapter 515: Don't feel sorry for men, you will become unfortunate
. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed half of the sky red.
The accident happened after returning to Lan Garden.
The kitchen steward led the servants over from afar. After seeing Yu Tingwan, she quickened her pace to come over to pay her respects.
Without waiting for Yu Tingwan to ask, she smiled and said, "It's been hot these days, and I'm afraid that the young lady has no appetite, so I thought about making some fresh food. So I took people to the lotus pond to pick some lotus pods, lotus leaves, and lotus root nodes... to make a full lotus feast."
Yu Tingwan was slightly interested.
"Do you want to make lotus leaf chicken?"
"If the young lady wants to eat it, of course there is."
The steward is meticulous and knows the tastes of each master. How could he not know that Yu Tingwan likes to eat meat?
"Young Madam, have you ever eaten lotus-flavored fish? The belly of the fresh fish is stuffed with ginger and scallions, wrapped in lotus leaves, and slowly grilled over charcoal fire. The fish meat has its own fragrance." "Lotus
petals can also be eaten. Dip them in a thin batter and fry them until crispy."
"Lotus-flavored Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, lotus leaf rice, lotus paste crisps... and can also be used to make wine."
Yu Tingwan: ...
I want to eat.
She heard her own voice.
"I'll go with you to take a look."
"Yes, Madam, please go first."
The lotus pond in Lanyuan is very large. The green waves are rippling, and the lotus leaves are
like green umbrellas supporting the sky. The lotus pods are drooping, and the lotus seeds are looming. Everyone has their own duties, some are picking lotus pods in the boat, and some are picking lotus flowers. Yu Tingwan is watching in the lotus pond, peeling lotus seeds in her hand. Throwing them into her mouth, they taste sweet. After she ate a few, she took a few steps forward. "Young Madam." Tan Jiang held her. "Be careful, don't step on the air. This pond is very deep." "How deep?" This... Tan Jiang didn't know. But she could tell Yu Tingwan. "I estimate that three or four large Fu Mengs would be completely submerged if they fell into it." Yu Tingwan looked at the surface of the pond, his eyes flickering, and suddenly asked. "Have you and Rong Di decided on a date?" Tan Jiang: "It will be in the early spring of next year." Tan Jiang thought for a while and said, "Shunzi is quite happy." Yu Tingwan: ? ? No, why would he be happy about your marriage? Yu Tingwan thought of something: "You know what, I haven't seen him these days. Is he sent to work somewhere?" "No." Tan Jiang said, "He is helping Rong Di prepare the betrothal gifts everywhere." ? ? ? Yu Tingwan: "He..." "He is quite caring." Yu Tingwan: "Is it because you can't find a wife, so you are having fun?" Tan Jiang: "The betrothal gifts are mostly prepared by the man's elders. He may want to take advantage of being Rong Di's father." Yu Tingwan: ... There are not many normal people in the Wei family army. Tan Jiang saw that her eyes were still on the pond, so he said it casually. "It is said that Master Shu of the Imperial College in the capital loves to take care of flowers and plants. The lotus pond in his house is full of literary and artistic atmosphere, and is more human than other places. Since the beginning of summer, many literati and scholars have expressed their interest in seeing it." Tan Jiang: "But I think the ones in our yard are better than those in Master Shu's house." "Madam."
Tan Jiang pointed to a pavilion in the front right.
"The view there is the best. Would you like to go up and sit
for a while?" Yu Tingwan looked over.
There was a house beyond the Bi Bo Waterside Pavilion.
On the first floor, you can open the window to feed the fish.
She looked up and saw nine winding stone steps and pavilions with flying eaves. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the copper bells hanging on the eaves, shining dark gold. The stone steps meandered up from the water.
Yu Tingwan heard her own voice: "Okay."
She climbed up step by step.
Yeah.
The steps were stable and nothing happened.
She didn't slip when she walked.
The servants behind her were nimble when picking the fruits, but they couldn't help whispering.
"Why is Wang Gui's wife sick? The housekeeper allowed her to rest for three days. But I saw her yesterday and she was fine."
Someone pursed his lips, with disdain in his eyes, and replied: "What else could it be? Wang Gui has a lover outside."
"Lover?"
Someone exclaimed.
This made Yu Tingwan turn around and look over.
Unfortunately, the man on the other end was afraid of disturbing her and being punished by the steward, so he quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice.
"Wang Gui is usually such an honest man, don't let there be a misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding? It's common for men to cheat. The child is already three years old. It's good that she doesn't go crazy when the matter is exposed under her nose."
Someone shook his head and sighed: "Wang Gui's daughter is a little lacking in appearance, but she has treated him wholeheartedly over the years. The master of the mansion is generous, and our monthly allowance is not low. But she is usually reluctant to spend a penny on herself, and gives it all to Wang Gui to save for the family. Such a good woman, who gave him children, Wang Gui married her for the sake of his ancestors, but he is willing to let her down, what a bastard."
"She is also confused, how can the money fall into the hands of a man? I hold the monthly allowance of my family, and I only give money to the man for drinking. I usually advise her to be more careful and keep some money, but she just won't listen."
"It was only then that she realized that the money she had saved over the years was given to that lover by Wang Gui. You probably don't know that the lover was dressed very decently, wearing gold and silver. If you don't know, you might think she was the master of some mansion."
Yu Tingwan couldn't hear these words.
"What's the next thing?"
Tan Jiang simply described: "The woman who boils water in the kitchen, the one with a scar on her face, I wonder if you remember her, Madam. She was schemed by the man and helped to support the man's lover outside and the son he had with the lover."
Yu Tingwan remembered.
She was hungry and went to the kitchen to find something to eat, and saw the woman squatting in the corner eating the freshly cooked brown sugar longan egg soup.
It tasted very fragrant.
Yu Tingwan asked her to cook another bowl.
She felt very sad when she ate it.
Because the taste was too similar to Hui Niang's.
Before, when she was about to have her baby, Hui Niang always cooked for her.
Tan Jiang continued, "I have seen her man. He broke half of his leg because he offended someone a few years ago."
"The woman who boils water has a scar on her face and is aloof, so she has never been able to get married. She didn't mind him because of his poor legs and feet."
"She also thought about the man's parents who died early, and he was driven out by his brother and sister-in-law after he became disabled, and he had nowhere to go. So she was willing to support him. She thought no one should blame each other, and the two of them should live a good life. Who would have thought..."
Tan Jiang looked down on her.
"The woman couldn't stand the blow, ran over and made a scene, grabbed her lover's hair and quarreled. The disabled man felt distressed, and seeing that many people chased out to watch, he felt ashamed, and with a cane, he swung a few sticks at the woman's back."
"I don't understand, she knew how to fight, why didn't she beat Wang Gui. This kind of thing takes two hands to clap, Wang Gui can't be a good person."
Yu Tingwan:...
Don't feel sorry for men, it will become unfortunate.
Tan Jiang: "If Rong Di dares to mess around outside, I will definitely..."
She suddenly stopped talking.
Tan Jiang was somewhat desperate.
"I...can't beat him."
Yu Tingwan laughed: "If you hadn't asked him to, why would he bite the bullet and spar with you every now and then? Even if I asked you to, you wouldn't be happy."
You can't beat him, aren't you asking for it?
