Chapter 28: Ripples
Rong Xia finally soaked in the hot springs for a while.
Although it was after serving Second Young Master Pei.
There seems to be no difference between the feeling of soaking in a hot spring and the feeling of soaking in a large pool in a county bathhouse. And Rong Xia is relatively timid, in the dead of night, taking a bath by himself or something...... So, she basically only stayed in it for twenty minutes, and then she climbed up.
I don't know if the hot spring really had an effect, in short, Rong Xia had a rare good sleep that night.
The next morning, I felt refreshed.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the Imperial Mansion purely for vacation and relaxation, and he seemed to be very fond of hunting, and he could be seen hunting with his subordinates every day. Sometimes they can hunt some pheasants and hares, and sometimes they go back empty-handed. And on this day, the prince and his entourage unexpectedly hunted a wild boar back, and it was about 200 catties, which was a big prey.
"The admonition looks polite and weak, but I didn't expect it to be so good!" Pointing to this wild boar that was already dead and could no longer die, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised the people who were besieging the city: "If you don't see it, an arrow, an arrow." Instantly penetrated from the boar's left ear, a fatal blow, what a good skill, good archery!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very happy, and his mouth kept praising it.
Rong Xia also looked at the fierce creature that fell to the ground in amazement, the big and long fangs and the hideous facial expression, all showed that this was a very fierce thing. After looking at this, and then at the second young master Pei, who was calm and calm, and was as gentleman as jade, Rong Xia suddenly had a deep emotion that people really can't look good.
Looking at his thin arms and legs, I didn't expect it to be so powerful!
"Xiao Xia come here!" Suddenly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over there beckoned to Rong Xia very happily.
Rong Xia hurriedly trotted over.
The prince pointed to the wild boar on the ground and said with a smile: "Let's eat this at night, you clean up and see what to do!"
Rong Xia thought for a while and decided to make a barbecue.
Although it is said that kebabs and beef are the best, but in the Rui Dynasty, cattle are not to be slaughtered, and it is illegal to kill cattle, so you don't have to think about beef or anything, but this wild boar, it must not taste bad if you clean it up.
The two best meats on the wild boar were selected, cut into transparent reddish slices, and Rong Xia's spiritual well space also carried a barbecue artifact - cumin. Seven or eight kinds of spices were mixed and the slices of wild boar meat were marinated. Rong Xia had to prepare a large iron plate again, in addition to the meat skewers, she was also going to make iron plate grilling......
People are very strange creatures, often they make their own things, they will cherish it extraordinarily, in the same way, the food they make by themselves will taste extraordinarily fragrant.
In an open-air courtyard in Huangzhuang,
A bonfire was lit.
Both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess were present.
His Royal Highness the Prince pinched three strings of pork skewers with his left hand, and pinched two skewers of roasted hoof tendons with his right hand, and the one that he ate was called a mouth full of oil, chili, sesame, cumin, which are the three major gods that cannot be underestimated in the barbecue world.
The queen mother has a soft spot for vegetables, and she especially likes to eat dried tofu rolls made by Rong Xia, which are the kind of dried tofu rolls with chopped green onions and coriander, smeared with a layer of special spicy sauce inside and out, and roasted on an open fire until golden brown.
As for Pei Jinzhi-
He prefers teppanyaki, which is busy Rong Xia, she quickly rummaged through the barbecue things on the board with a wooden spoon in one hand, because he couldn't eat things that were not produced in the space, Rong Xia quietly replaced the wild boar meat with the pork stored in the space, Pei Jinzhi tasted it, and immediately glanced at her, Rong Xia looked away and avoided it very weakly, Pei Jinzhi smiled, looking like he knew it in his chest.
Iron plate meat slices, iron plate sauerkraut, iron hundred grilled fish, all in all, Rong Xia is really busy!
The crown prince, the crown princess, Pei Jinzhi and several other ministers of the East Palace, as well as many palace people who were waiting, all sat together, there seemed to be no dignity at this time, everyone just bowed their heads and ate wildly, each eating was elated, all in all, this barbecue conference was really a success!
And Rong Xia was also tired, and in the end, she couldn't even lift her arms.

"Horseback riding?" Rong Xia's eyes widened, and he asked in great surprise, "Young Master, you want to teach me how to ride a horse?"
"Why, you don't want to?" Pei Jinzhi sat on the horse and asked condescendingly.
Rong Xia quickly shook her head, how could she be unwilling, she was very, very willing.
Rong Xia was originally a mute child, and his temperament was originally inferior, and he abandoned the anti-heaven plug-in of Lingjing space, which made Rong Xia proud of only two things in his short life, one thing: she is very good at cooking, and the other thing is: she can drive!
It's not a bicycle or a tricycle, it's a real four-wheel-drive vehicle. Rong Xia's speed of learning to drive was even amazed by her brother, it belonged to the type of person who could get on the road after practicing twice, and she drove very steadily! It's a pity that she had a bad fate, she met a drunk driver, and the road was slippery on a rainy day, so the car didn't get out of the way, and she met the king of Hades directly.
Although there is no car for Rong Xia to drive now, however, a horse is equal to a car, Rong Xia's love for the car naturally transferred to the horse, but unfortunately, she has never had the opportunity to learn, and now Pei Jinzhi proposed to teach him, Rong Xia is naturally willing.
Pei Jinzhi looked at the little face that was starting to get excited, smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand downward.
Rong Xia didn't think much about it, she was very happy to put her slightly cool little hand into the slender big hand, clenched it, and pulled it skillfully, Rong Xia was pulled onto the horse like a fly, Pei Jinzhi put her on his chest, one hand pulled the reins, and the other hand wrapped around Rong Xia's waist.
Standing tall and looking far is indeed the unchanging truth, and the scenery on the horse is also different.
Rong Xia is like a child who has got the most beloved toy, not only is she not afraid, but she is very excited, she touches the horse's mane for a while, and then lies down and touches the horse's head, and finally says very anxiously: "Young master, can you let it run?"
Pei Jinzhi smiled...... So, Rong Xia completely felt what it means to gallop a horse.
How to say it.
I don't feel like driving, but it's very, very exciting!
Pei Jinzhi took her to run around the entire Huangzhuang, and then carefully taught the details of Rong Xia's imperial horse.
Of course, because of Rong Xia's size, she can't control this kind of adult horse no matter what, but Rong Xia is very happy to be able to ride it around.
"Young master, this horse is so beautiful, what's its name?"
Pei Jinzhi smiled and said two words: "Chasing the wind." ”
"Wow, a horse that can catch up with the wind! it's so handsome!" Rong Xia's eyes shone brightly, and he was very envious.
"Next time you'll let you ride that half-sized foal. Pei Jinzhi smiled, raised his hand, and rubbed Rong Xia's little head.
Rong Xia smiled at him.
I have to say that on this day, Rong Xia was unprecedentedly happy.
Happy times are always short-lived, and the time to leave is finally coming.
"If you have time, bring Ah Xia into the palace to play, this palace likes her very much!" Pei Jinzhi shook his head helplessly, it was originally a treasure hidden at home, but he didn't expect that it was just a momentary negligence, and he was remembered, what a mistake, a mistake!
The wheels of the carriage creaked in the fresh snow, and Rong Xia looked out the window.
Between the heavens and the earth, the snow is colorful, and there is a vast expanse.
Rong Xia suddenly felt broad-minded, and there were some things that maybe he really didn't need to drill the horns.
She can live a lifetime, which is already a great favor from heaven.
Don't waste your life on unhappy things again.
Don't be greedy.
Rong Xia said to herself: Greed is a sin!
When he returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already dark, Pei Jinzhi naturally went to meet the elders, Rong Xia went back to [Green Bamboo Xuan], and now the Jiuxiang girl was also transferred over and became a member of [Green Bamboo Xuan]. With her as a companion, in this deserted and remote place, Rong Xia also felt more at ease.
Jiuxiang was very curious about Rong Xia's trip to the Imperial Palace, or more precisely, she was extremely curious about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and asked Rong Xia a lot of things.
Then he closed the door and fell asleep
"Niangniang, look at that little hoof, the person is back, and he doesn't come to you to say goodbye, it's really relying on the second master's favor, don't you rest assured!"
However, although it was a provocation, Qiao Sulan still kept it in her heart.
Jiang Pei, who was standing at the door waiting, suddenly rolled over the curtain and came in, and said happily when he opened his mouth: "Madam, the second master is coming this way!"
Qiao Sulan immediately stood up, her face exuding a different kind of brilliance.
"Husband, you're back!" she stood there, her eyes filled with countless tenderness.

In the cold winter, the dripping water turns into ice.
The ponds where the fish are raised have long since formed a thick layer of ice.
Rong Xia simply made two spinning tops and threw them on the ice.
He An likes this sport very much, and whenever he has free time, he comes over to smoke two whips, Rong Xia went to Huangzhuang for a walk, and most of his heart knots were untied, and he was not as sad as he was during the whole time.
The smile on his face also increased, and at this time, a good thing happened in the Hou Mansion.
Aunt Hu of the big house is happy.
This Aunt Hu was a girl named tortoiseshell next to the old lady, and later the old lady was the master and rewarded the eldest young master as a concubine and carried the aunt. This is the first child of the Hou family's generation, although it is not from the belly of the young grandmother, but the old lady can't help it!
When Rong Xia heard Jiuxiang talk about the news, she unconsciously remembered her sister who was far away.
The eldest young master with a beautiful wife and concubine, do you still remember the girl named Bisi?
Rong Xia felt: That must be unrememberable!
The news of Aunt Hu's pregnancy caused ripples in the hearts of many people.
Qiao Sulan thought a lot.
Her grandfather, Qiao Gelao, married the daughter of his teacher, Qiao Gelao has a strong personality and is dedicated to studying his career. And it just so happened that Mrs. Qiao was naïve and ignorant of the world, the two personalities just complemented each other, there was no kind of drama of abandoning the dregs after being rich, the two loved each other for more than 30 years, and Qiao Ge never accepted a concubine in his life. And her father was the eldest son of her grandfather. It's a pity that he doesn't have the talent of his grandfather, his temperament is a little like his grandmother, he is a very indecisive person, such a person is destined not to have any great success, but he is also better than being honest and obedient, so Qiao Sulan's mother is very protective of her father, and there are no other women in the backyard.
There are living examples of grandfathers and grandmothers and fathers and mothers, two generations.
It is not difficult to imagine what kind of vision and requirements Qiao Sulan will have for her marriage.
So she looked down on the Hai family from the bottom of her heart, a woman who couldn't hold her husband's heart, a woman who actually let her concubine conceive a child first, what a useless woman she was!
In vain, she also became a grandmother of the Hou Mansion!
What a piece of rubbish.
And in this secret disdain and sense of superiority, Qiao Sulan also has a sense of anxiety.
She wants: to conceive a child.
I want to conceive a baby as quickly as possible.
Because only in this way can her status be ensured, so that she will not be casually stuffed into a concubine by her elders like the Hai family.
So Qiao Sulan: I'm very anxious.
Rong Xia spent the second Spring Festival in this world, and so he came unconsciously.
She knelt in a group of maids and received the reward from the second young grandmother.
Then, I saw the second young master under the eaves of the porch.
Rong Xia smiled at him and said, "Wishing you prosperity!"
Pei Jinzhi also smiled at her, not the kind of faint smile, but the kind of smile that couldn't help but laugh as if he remembered something, he also arched his hand and said, "Happy New Year!"
So, Rong Xia had another red envelope in his hand.
On the day of the New Year's Day, Rong Xia returned to his home.
In the old but warm house, the family sat happily together.
Rong Xia made six dishes and one soup.
The dumplings in the middle of the night are filled with the freshest leeks and eggs.
That night, Rong Xia got into Mrs. Li's bed.
I slept very sweetly, vaguely, and seemed to have a good dream.
