Chapter 24: Peach Blossoms
Cheng Qiao raised his sleeve and wiped the saliva on his face, then stood up from the round stool, turned around and said to his mother: "Mother, you see...... I'm all right. I will accompany you well in the future!"
"Qiao'er is so good. Mrs. Cheng was amused by her immature words, and reached out to pat her cheek gently, "It's this ......face" hesitated for a moment in the words, and then said with relief, "Okay, our Cheng family has a big business, why should my mother worry about not being able to find a wishful husband for you." โ
"Mother, what are you talking about, why am I talking about marrying someone so little!" Cheng Qiao was so embarrassed by her words that he blushed, waved his little hand and stomped his feet in protest.
"Hey, it seems that my Qiao'er's body is really healed!Look, how imposing the dance is......" Mrs. Cheng smiled and shook at her with the veil that covered her face before.
"......" Cheng Qiao was speechless for a while, and could only express deep reflection on his childish behavior in the depths of his heart.
When you calm down, you will silently sort out the information you have gathered. She is still called Cheng Qiao, and she is about ten years old. The current location should still be in Taowu Town, the Cheng family is rich and powerful here, she has a mother who loves her, and a scumbag father who has never seen her. It's just that the specific era is still unexaminable, but the Liu Gonggong and King Ning in Cheng's mouth make her feel quite familiar, but I don't know if it is the famous Naughty Emperor Liu Gonggong and King Ning who were made bad by film and television works in later generations. If so, her cheap scumbag is probably going to be unlucky.
Hey, there's still too little information, so it would be nice if I could get out of the house and go outside. Cheng Qiao's eyes rolled, and her gaze finally fell on her mother, Mrs. Cheng. While despising herself for pretending to be tender, she dragged her mother's hand and said coquettishly: "Mother, mother, you see that my body is fine, you can go out to play!"
Mrs. Cheng was so entangled by her that she had to reluctantly agree: "Let Cuiru accompany you." โ
Cheng Qiao cheered and jumped to find Cuiru.
Mrs. Cheng shook her head with a smile behind her: "Why is it still such a jumping temperament, and I don't know when I will grow up." โ
The so-called happiness and sorrow, Cheng Qiao hurriedly rushed over to open the door, and when he raised his foot to cross the threshold, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he was weak and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Cuiru, who was guarding the door, was quick and held her up, so she didn't let her fall into a dog โกโก. Cuiru's mother didn't see her abnormality, she just thought that the child was careless, and said casually: "Girl, you have to take it easy, don't fall." โ
Cheng Qiao knew that this newly healed body was still too weak, and the way she was jumping around just now was just a little pretending to be, she couldn't help but be a little worried and didn't dare to stretch out, and reluctantly pulled out a smile: "Hey, my mother just promised to let Cuiru go out with me, I was too happy and didn't pay attention to it for a while......
Cuiru's mother glanced at Cuiru, who was still standing next to her: "Don't follow the girl soon." โ
Cuiru nodded, silently moved behind her and reached out to support her, and asked in a low voice, "Where does the girl want to play?"
Cheng Qiao breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "I want to go to the back mountain to have a look." โ
While the two were talking, Cuiru and her mother entered the back room again, and after a while, she walked out with a pink cloak in her hand, and said while putting it on for Cheng Qiao: "Girl, it's windy on the mountain." Then he pulled out a new veil to cover her face.
Half an hour later, Cheng Qiao stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the high and low rolling mountains, full of peach blossom forests, pure โกโก and tender colors could not be seen at a glance. She was so amazed by the beauty of the landscape that she could only keep her eyes open and her mouth open, but she didn't know what to say.
"This ...... This...... So many peach blossoms!"
"Not really. Cuiru stood beside her, her eyes were also looking into the distance, her expression was so calm, and there was a faint pride in her tone when she spoke, "Girl, you forgot, there was a person surnamed Tang in Jiangnan who wrote a sour poem about ten miles of peach blossoms, which was widely circulated, and the old lady heard about it and said straightly, 'Ten miles of peach blossoms are a ball, what I want Cheng Fugui doesn't say is ten miles, even if it is a hundred miles of land, I can plant peach blossoms reads;." In the past few decades, there are more and more peach blossom trees in our Taowu Town, and their fame is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more people who come to our town to see the peach blossoms in the blooming season every year. โ
Her grandfather was really a wonderful person, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to meet him. She looked at the peach blossom forest, although it was not as exaggerated as stretching for hundreds of miles, but there were still more than ten miles, and she couldn't help muttering: "This ...... With so many trees, how many peaches do you have to harvest in the summer?
"Poof!" Cuiru snorted and laughed, "The girl is still worried about this! If you can't finish eating, you can dry it to make dried peach meat, and then marinate it with honey, or you can crush fresh peach meat and boil it with honey to make peach past...... In addition to peaches, our Taowu Town is more famous for peach blossom brewing, peach blossom tea, and peach blossom crisp ......"
Cuiru gushed to her to introduce the special delicacies of Taowu Town, Cheng Qiao was only moved by her appetite, swallowed her saliva and asked, "Where can I eat what you said?"
"There is a Taoyuan restaurant in the town. Cuiru replied quickly without thinking.
"Then let's go to town...... Cheng Qiaoti said.
"This ......," said Cuiru, who hesitated for a moment, "we have to walk seven or eight miles from Zhuangzi to the town, and the girl has to talk to Madame, and we have to ask the steward to prepare a carriage." โ
Cheng Qiao wanted to go to Taowu Town, and wanted to see how similar it was to the future generations, so he said: "Mother, I will go and say, go, let's go down the mountain now." โ
The speed of going down the mountain was much faster than when going up the mountain, and Cheng Qiao and Mrs. Cheng inked for nearly a quarter of an hour before Mrs. Cheng nodded and agreed to let Cuiru accompany her to the town to have a look.
Cheng Qiao sat in the carriage, staggering on the mountain road and almost fainted. She was a little bored sitting in the car, so she lifted the curtain to see the scenery outside, but unfortunately she only saw the yellow sand brought up by the carriage forward, but fortunately she was wearing a veil, otherwise she would definitely run into a gray face.
Cuiru hurriedly lowered the curtain, thinking that she was in a hurry to go to Taoyuan Restaurant to play, so she said, "Girl, wait a little longer, and we will be in town in a while." โ
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the carriage to move much more smoothly, and the stone road was much more comfortable than the dirt road in the mountains, and there was not so much dust.
The carriage stopped in front of the most imposing building in town, and Cuiru jumped out nimbly, reached out to help Cheng Qiao down, and then the coachman drove the carriage around to the backyard to park.
Cheng Qiao looked up at the huge black gilt signboard, with four big characters flying on it: "Taoyuan Restaurant", and couldn't help but praise: "It's really extraordinary!"
The shopkeeper who was standing by the door and was in charge of greeting the guests seemed to be familiar with Cuiru, and when he saw the two, he immediately came over and greeted her affectionately: "Sister Xiaoru, why did you come here today?
Cuiru sneered: "Huzi, you don't have long eyes, our girl came here in person!"
The little second named Huzi patted his head with a chagrined expression, and bowed to Cheng Qiao: "Look at my clumsy eyes, the girl didn't recognize it when she came in person, don't blame it, please here!"
Cheng Qiao felt that the young man named Huzi was very funny, and naturally he didn't mean to blame, so he let him lead the way in front.
Just as they were about to enter the door, two more unusual guests arrived. Walking in front was a boy of seven or eight years old, dressed in brocade clothes, with a white and tender little face tensed tightly, a stern expression, full of style, and followed by a young man with a white face and beard.
