Queen of flowers - Chapter 9

“Your mother loves you!”

Yong Ruo nodded, rested her elbows on the table. She lifted her hands full of frostbite and cracks, and looked around twice, smiling, “Our whole family relies on my own hands for support. Amazing, right? “With a smile on her eyes, she looked at Feng Liao.

Feng Liao’s gaze fell on her hands as well, and there seemed to be slight distress in his eyes.

“It’s amazing!” He said in a very soft voice, “You’ve suffered!”

With a sad feeling, Yong Ruo’s tone of expression changed, “But if people are alive, they don’t only need air to breathe but also food to eat and clothes to dress. The desire for delicious food is human nature, engraved in the blood. The daily life of our family can only guarantee that we will not starve to death. It has been a long time since I tasted the meat! Young master paid me for dinner tonight. If I eat alone, I will be uneasy. I also ask the Young master to allow me to take the leftovers back! “

She shrugged her shoulders, raised her fist, and rested her chin on it, raised her brows and pursed her lips, stared at Feng Liao with a pitiful grievance, and said shamelessly and pitifully, “Please … “

Feng Liao was slightly stunned by the sudden change.

He looked at Yong Ruo in amazement and blinked. She still had that expression! He blinked again, and she still had that expression! !! This, this … This was a different person, right? !! What about her previous strength? Where was her arrogance before? !! Who was she before? !!

Gradually, the color of realization appeared on his face and then smiled as he couldn’t help but smile. Finally pointing at Yong Ruo, he ​​laughed.

“Hahaha …” he laughed at the table and stood still, tears were about to come out, his manners weren’t of a nobleman.

Yong Ruo sighed in her heart: She couldn’t sell her cuteness here! In this era, no one can understand the cute culture!

She put away the pitiful pretense. It would be funny to see Feng Liao doing that. Shaking her head, she picked up the chopsticks and clamped a piece of tofu and ate it, while admiring the rare mischief of the nobleman.

Feng Liao laughed for a while then stopped.

“Why did you make that weird expression?” He asked Yong Ruo, “just to take a few plates of leftovers?”

Yong Ruo shook her head, “Our family usually doesn’t eat such leftovers!”

Feng Liao thought for a while, coughed, and said positively, “It’s rude to bring the leftovers to your dear ones. I’ll let the cook make some new dishes for you!”

Yong Ruo shook her head and said positively, “No, I will take the leftovers home. My family will eat more without much burden.”

Feng Liao looked straight at her. Yong Ruo stared openly at him for a long time. Feng Liao smiled helplessly and shook his head again, and had to say, “Just do it!”

They talked while eating.

Yong Ruo no longer talked about her own family, but instead picked up topics about some ridiculous and interesting things in Mo Hutong, a slum area -because of poverty- so he would know a little more about folk misery. He wasn’t uncomfortable to listen to such things. After all, it was the Lantern Festival, so they had to be happy!

“There was this daughter-in-law in the hutong, and a strange thing occurred not long after she got married. Every time she washed her clothes and came back, her mother-in-law would not be happy with her. She would always have something to say to her son about it and scold her. It was the same all the time. This little daughter-in-law felt weird. She prepared a gift and sincerely gave it to her aunt. The aunt told her to wash her clothes a few times. She told her not to be so diligent, and not to use washboards for laundry. Do you know why? “

Feng Liao stared at her intently, his eyes filled with interest, “I don’t know! Why?”

“Because that mother-in-law was a very stingy person. She felt that if the clothes were washed more times, it would break quickly. It couldn’t be washed more with a washboard. So, she dipped the clothes in the water and washed them a few times.”

“Such clothes?” Feng Liao’s eyes were wide. “Were they clean?”

“Of course, they weren’t clean. So her daily clothes were always bad!”

“… once, this mother-in-law wore a new set of clothes and went to a relative’s house, a drop of oil that fell on her front placket, which made her heart-aches! She took the clothes to the river, but she didn’t want to go to the water so she took it home. Soon after, the daughter-in-law went to eat at another person’s house, only to find that her clothes were still under the water, except that she wore a nondescript pear patch on her chest. It turned out that the mother-in-law was reluctant to wear new clothes. After rinsing in the water, she was reluctant to take a silk thread to embroider a flower to cover the oil stain. She took a white cloth and cut it into the shape of a pear flower, and covered the white cloth pear flower with the embroidery needle method on the stain. A little girl got close to the pear flower and smelled a smell of ginger and garlic sauce and said, Your elder woman is so chic that she can compete with the kitchen … “

Feng Liao smiled again.
