Chapter Eighty-Four: Red Carp

Qing Zhuo and I glanced at each other, and both shook their heads gently: The prince himself is not virtuous, and he is not strict with his subordinates. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After walking about a cup of tea, I arrived at the restaurant that Zhang Dali said.

There are three small huts, one of which is used as a kitchen, and one must be the owner's evening rest. The door opening in the middle is relatively large, and it is a canteen, and it looks very clean at a glance. There were two tables of guests inside, one table with two men drinking together, already drunk and hot, and at the other table with his back to the door sat a man in a soapy coat, concentrating on the dishes in front of him.

Qing Zhuo was very satisfied, and took the lead in taking a seat at a large square table near the door. Urging Zhang vigorously said: "Hurry up and let people serve the food." ”

Zhang Dali responded humbly, and trotted to the owner to arrange.

I think the owner of the shop was treated by Zhang Dali, and the dish was quickly served.

Qing Zhuo and I sat at a table, looking at the dry roasted winter bamboo shoots, cold fungus, vegetarian fried beans, Nanyu water spinach, soup soaked frozen tofu and other fragrant stir-fried vegetables and a pot of steaming stews, and then looked at the vinegar lotus ribbon and the nine tangerine peel kidney beans two side dishes, and smiled embarrassedly at me: "Sister Zhaoxun, if Qing Zhuo doesn't look good for a while, don't tell the prince!"

"Aren't you hungry, and so many words. Yesterday, Zhan Lu sent a letter, and the prince was still on his way back to Beijing. You can rest assured that munching is. I quipped.

Turning his head, Chifu set up two more tables, and asked them and the guards to hurry up to eat without them waiting.

When the people saw that I insisted, they confessed and ate as they were told.

Today, after dinner, I walked more mountain roads, and after a while, the guards were already in the wind and clouds on the table.

Qing Zhuo stood up and asked Yun'er to rub her intestines. Said shamefully: "I'm in a hurry to eat." Everyone who came first still has a table that hasn't left. I looked back and saw that the two men had left, and the guests at the table in the corner were still tasting slowly.

After sitting for a while, he saw that the sky was a little overcast, so he asked Chloe to give Zhang Dali the silver to meet the account.

When he returned to the inn after going down the mountain, Qing Zhuo complained, "Why is it dark and cold so early?" ”

Zhang Dali looked up at the sky and replied, "It's already dark early in winter. And it looks like there's snow tomorrow. ”

When he saw that we had entered the guest house, he saluted and withdrew with his guards.

-----------------------------

The next morning, it snowed, and by the time it was snow, it was as big as a goose feather.

Chifu came back yesterday and had a little fever in the evening, perhaps because of the mountain breeze blowing after the heat. After taking two pills, I didn't see any improvement.

Worried that the delay would become more and more difficult to treat, Zhang Dali arranged for several guards to send her back to Xiao Wang's Mansion for treatment, and asked Kou'er to accompany and take care of Chifu.

Chifu originally struggled to refuse, but I was so bad that I took the carriage and went.

Qing Zhuo came to the Buddha Hall to recite a few scriptures with me, but I thought it was very cold here, and said that I was really tired yesterday, and my legs were still weak at this time. So he sent her back to the West Chamber.

After sitting alone in the Buddha hall and reciting the scriptures, I raised my eyes and looked out through the open grille door, and large snowflakes fell from the dim sky. Nearby houses, trees, Buddha halls and Taiwu Mountain in the distance are shrouded in white snow.

Because the weather was getting colder, he and Cuinong rested early.

The night was eerily silent, except for the snowflakes falling in their waves. Occasionally, there was a creak, and the bamboo branches were bent by the snow.

When I woke up early the next morning, a white glass world was clean and clean.

Take a deep breath and cool it straight to your heart.

Cuinong set up breakfast, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see Qingzhuo's master and servant coming. I laughed and said, "This Nizi is snooze, I'll call her." You turn the coals hotter. ”

Then he walked along the verandah through the courtyard to the west wing.

As soon as he approached, he heard Qing Zhuojiao in the door: "It's good to steam." How fresh is this fish!"

Fish!

This girl is really messing around.

I didn't care much, so I coughed heavily and pushed the door in.

I saw Qing Zhuo and Yun'er's master and servant with their hair scattered, half-lying on a round table in the middle of the room, laughing. In a copper basin on the table was a red carp swimming happily.

When Leng Buding saw me come in, both of them jumped up, almost knocking over the copper basin, and were hurriedly supported by Yun'er.

Ai Ai's self in the Qingzhuo period opened his mouth first: "We've been here for almost ten days, isn't this gluttony?"

I said lightly, "Then you can't come around in the temple." Where did this fish come from?"

"When I sent it early yesterday morning, I saw that this carp was red and beautiful, so I left it to play. ”

"That's the thing that was brought and released? How can you satisfy your appetite and still be in the temple! ”

Qing Zhuo was a little temperamental, "I want to release my sister, it's snowing today, I won't go out." ”

I pitied her for her young age and love, so I had to coax her to breakfast first. He also asked Yun'er to put the carp in the wooden barrel in the ear room of the Buddha Hall.

Qing Zhuo was still angry at first, but when she saw that Cuinong's uncovered food box contained her favorite fried noodles with winter bamboo shoots, she immediately smiled.

After breakfast, I sent her back to the West Chamber, and she took the initiative to smile and said: "Sister, Qingzhuo knows that he has done something inappropriate, and the Buddha will blame him, and I will copy a book of scriptures by hand to forgive my sins." ”

I couldn't get enough of her childish face, and I replied, "That's very good." ”

Seeing that she really asked Yun'er to find a pen and paper and start copying, she took the door back to the East Chamber.

Cui Nong welcomed me into the house, helped me dust off the snowflakes, and asked, "What should I do with the carp?

I took a few sips of hot tea and said with a smile, "I'll go with you." Since it's my wish, I have to do my homework. ”

Cuinong went and summoned two guards to carry the barrel containing the red carp.

Then he found a jade-colored satin cloak with a fur-rimmed coat in red silk and put it on me, and followed me out of the courtyard with an oil-paper umbrella.

The snow on the ground was very thick, and the large snowflakes were still falling. I took Cuinong's hand and walked towards the lake, two guards following me.

The clogs make a long trail of footprints on the snow.

In such weather, the shore of the net bottle lake is empty.

There is no hope in the ears, and the eyes are clean.

Wrapped in silver, the snow is sounding.

The surface of the lake is covered with a thin layer of ice.

The two guards placed the barrel on the release table by the lake, unsheathed their sabers, and used their scabbards to crack a hole in the ice three feet square. Smiled: "It's okay." ”

I bowed my head and moved.

The two guards retreated to the open space by the lake behind them.

I bent down and scooped out the red carp with a wooden scoop and put it into the water, and said with a smile, "Go ahead." Swim farther away, but don't get caught again. ”

The fish swung its nimble tail and soon disappeared into the lake.

I slowly straightened up, my heart beating faster, and I almost wanted to scream: the reflection of a man wearing a hat was clearly in the water, and the dagger in the man's hand was shining with cold light.
