233.偷瓜(1 / 2)

月待圆时 怀愫 0 字 2022-01-11

    石桂听见当兵的心头一紧,叶文心的身份见不得光,虽知道有宋家护着,到底身份未明,听见兵丁军士先捏了一把汗,跟着才缓过气来,哪有为着拿一个逃犯就派出一队兵来的,抖了锅铲放盐,随口问上一句:“是来作什么的?”

    菱角摇摇头,快手替她往灶眼里添柴:“我也不知,就看见许多人进进出出,还有烧火作饭的,急着回来,怕姆妈骂我呢。”她是拎着篮子出去挑菊花脑的,野菜没挑多久,在山上跟伙伴追着玩闹,又看见山那头来了人,这儿有个大营,这些年空了一半,没成想今儿又进人了。

    石桂听见是驻军更不担心了,看看篮子里头没几根野菜,点一点菱角的鼻子:“这可不好,你娘等会子要骂你了。”

    菱角却眯了眼睛笑起来,把那几根菜洗干净切了,又央着石桂把豆干切成碎丁子,拌在一处点上香油,盛在碗里也不多,却尽够吃了,石桂还教她拿个小圆碗填满了再倒扣出来,还能当个看菜,菱角捧了碗笑:“这下我娘可没法骂我了。”

    她是从后门溜进来的,刘婆子回来的时候看见已经做了两三个菜了,也没法骂她,只瞪她一眼:“见天就知道疯跑,脚都跑大了,往后怎么嫁人!”

    这会早就不兴裹脚了,□□的时候就把这规矩废了,皇后长公主还跟着打过仗领过兵,全是小脚怎么跑得动,先时还不曾下严令,后来见民风难改,还有爱好此道的,自诩为雅士,写了《品莲谱》,把裹的小脚比作莲瓣,在掌中赏玩,还分作九品,给这些小脚按名头。

    不行重刑禁不得,干脆捉起来杀了头,这风气才煞住了,此时说的大脚不好嫁,是大脚姑娘显着不文静,这才难嫁。

    菱角冲她翻眼睛,刘婆子摘菜这点功夫就把后山那一批兵丁的来头给打听清楚了,家家都这时候做饭,田里摘一回菜,七句八句一说,还有什么不知道的。

    “说是从外地调回来的官儿,咱们这头的佃户又能开集了。”天下太平,圣人重武,风调雨顺却没几年,一时旱一时涝,处处都要钱,收上去的钱在军费上就有一大笔的开销,开国的□□皇帝起就有屯田养兵的祖制,人一多便能开集,虽是军户,平素除了练兵,同普通农户也没甚个分别。

    刘婆子已经想着生财,手上忙着嘴巴也没停,一时说军户人家不必缴田税,一时又说得亏得天菩萨保佑不打仗,打仗的时候一甲一里都得遭殃。

    石桂倒听住了,她还记得明月那会儿跟着那位吴千户大人去了燕京,那会儿就怕他真成了军户,落了籍可就再不能出脱了,也不知道那个贼精的小子长得什么模样了,石桂还欠了他二十两银子呢。

    正支着耳朵正听着,院子里头又响起两声琴音,刘婆子一咂嘴儿:“姑娘真个是神仙人物,才会这许多东西。”

    刘婆子一面说一面又去拌豆腐,做了两碟子,拌了虾油的是给宋荫堂的,灶上摆了七八盘菜,问起石桂来:“可要给少爷姑娘端到房里去?”

    石桂取了个托盘来:“我来罢,里头也不用人,你们在外间吃罢,我进去侍候着就是。”菱角取了酒盅酒杯,开了一坛子桂花素酒,说是素酒水,实则就是往桂花水里添些蜜,当成酒来喝,吃上一坛子也不会醉人。

    石桂端了菜进去,宋荫堂坐着稳稳不动,叶文心却已经习惯帮忙了,伸手就来端菜,还先抹过桌子,取了碗垫来垫在汤碗底下,宋荫堂看着皱眉,这屋子连个帘儿都无,到底浅了些,一眼看到底,床上摆了绣活结绳,篮子里头还搁着许多打好的,宋荫堂先就猜测着是不是叶文心跟着一道做活计,此时一看果然如此。

    石桂退出去,叶文心对着宋荫堂做了个请字,一桌上的菜摆在她眼前的,都从碗沿开始挟,空出一半来,宋荫堂同她一道吃过饭,原来过年过节都聚在一处,原来哪一样不是丫头从碗里挑了最好的给她,这会儿连吃菜都这样小心翼翼。

    宋荫堂只当闲谈:“你在这儿可住得习惯?屋子是浅了些,只这儿离田庄远些,没那许多人能嚼舌头,若是住不习惯,我再看看哪儿还有合适的。”

    叶文心摇摇头,咽了口豆腐:“再没有不好的,不必麻烦了。”

    “再不能提麻烦这两个字,照顾你是应当的,不为着母亲,难道凭我就不能照看你了?”宋荫堂搁下筷子:“若是丫头有欺负你的,你也只管告诉我,我替你打发了她。”

    叶文心一抬眼儿便看见宋荫堂的目光落在绣箩上,知道他说这话是为甚,干脆道:“我是求着她学的,不独学了铺床叠被,我还想学洗衣做饭,等学了洗衣做饭,我还要学怎么种菜浇园,难道一辈子就靠着姑姑,不能自己活了?”

    宋荫堂一时怔住,反答不上来,叶文心替他挟了一筷子菜:“表哥不必忧心我,若是实办不出来,这儿呆着也很安稳。”

    宋荫堂反吃不下了,他在叶氏跟前反复答应了会照顾叶文心,叶文心却根本没想着要靠他,想跟她说护得住,又没这个能为开口,太子病重,太子妃肚里这个还不知道是男是女,朝上一日不安宁,老太爷又被圣人压着不能致仕,倒让他生出些退意来。
