Chapter Seventy-Four: The Great Heat
Dou Zhi C is the great heat, and the weather is very strong in the heat, so it is called the great heat.
In the hot afternoon, when he first woke up, Shen Bujiao lay on his side on the bed, and saw the sunlight sneaking in through the window, shining brightly in the room.
She turned over, lay on her back on the bed, and took out a book from the bedside, which was the seventy-two candidate explanations of the lunar order, and turned it over, and it read, "Summer, heat, and heat are divided into great, the beginning of the month, the middle of the month, and the heat of Judah today." β
"Great heat. Shen Bujie muttered a few times, pointing to the picture above and looking at himself, "This looks very hot!"
She closed the book, tossed it aside, got up and got out of bed, ran to the desk not far away and picked up the cold stone, which was a white translucent stone, smooth as jade, and the closer she got to the cold stone, the cooler it became.
The cold stone exudes a cold cold air, sweeping away the heat of midsummer.
Thinking that it was quite hard to keep practicing and practicing the piano during this time, it was time to give yourself a little reward.
Thinking of this, she put the cold stone in her pocket and ran out.
Kong Ming is copying Buddhist scriptures on the desk, chanting while writing, there is an incense burner in front of the desk, only burning a tail finger thick incense, a thin lock of green smoke quietly escapes, slowly dissipating in the air.
Xu has been writing for a long time, Kong Ming put down the pen, turned his wrist, and poured himself a cup of tea, at this moment, the room suddenly darkened, he raised his head, and saw Shen Bujiao standing in front of his window, blocking a little sunlight.
Shen Bujiao put his hands on the windowsill, "Kong Ming, let's go to Wuwei Zhai to buy ice drinks to eat." Hey, what are you drinking?"
Kong Ming poured another cup, supervised the window, and handed it to Shen Bujiao, and then replied: "This is Fu tea." But...... Why don't you come in through the door?"
Shen Bujiao poured a sip of tea and waved his hand, "I didn't think about going in, I just came to call you to go together, and I have to come out again after a while, so it won't be so troublesome to shout from the window." β
She smacked her lips, "It's delicious." β
Kong Ming took the teacup she had drunk, "Another cup?"
Shen Bujiao shook his head, "No, I still have to keep my stomach for ice drinks!"
Kong Ming put the cup on the table and came out of the door, "This is my own making, it is a tea made with more than ten flavors of Chinese herbs such as honeysuckle, prunella vulgaris, and licorice, which has the effect of cooling and dissipating heat." β
Since the last auction, Li Xiyi's control over the two children has not been so tight, but as the air is hotter than the other, they can't wait to be roasted when they walk on the road, and Kong Ming and Shen Bujiao don't like to go out very much.
There are very few guests in Wuwei Zhai, and the pedestrians on the street are also in twos and threes, looking like they are wilting and drooping, Shen Bujiao bought a bowl of ice and snow cold yuanzi, which is made of soybeans and sugar, fried soybeans, shelled, ground into soybean flour, mixed with sugar or honey, added water balls to form balls, and finally soaked in ice water, which is very sweet and delicious.
Kong Ming bought a bowl of "Guifei Red" Sushan, and there were several layers of thick cherry sauce poured on the top of Sushan, which was red and gorgeous, and looked sweet and attractive.
Shen Bujiao and Kong Ming were chatting while holding cold drinks, because Shen Bujiao carried the cold stone on his body, with her as the center, the cool air was enough within one meter, and Kong Ming walked next to her, so naturally he didn't feel how hot it was.
"Hey, what is this?" Bing Xue Leng Yuanzi's entrance was cold and sweet, Shen Bujiao squinted his eyes comfortably, turned his head and saw the books on the shelves at the door of a bookstore, his eyes swept from top to bottom, thinking that he would have nothing to do when he went back, so he decided to go in and have a look.
Kong Ming looked up and saw that the plaque of the bookstore read the words "Songyan Zhai".
Lifting a layer of transparent tulle wrapped outside, the two walked into Songyan Zhai, a refreshing and cool air came to their faces, Shen Bujiao ate the ice and snow Leng Yuanzi in three or two bites, threw the bowl into the trash can on the side, and began to look around.
The area of Songyanzhai is not large, but although the sparrows are complete, there are many kinds of books, and they are neatly placed.
Several people leaned on the corner of the bookshelf and lowered their heads to read carefully, Shen Bujiao wandered around, and picked up a newspaper placed in the most conspicuous position at the door.
Di Bao is not the name of a newspaper, but an official newspaper managed by an official agency.
"Official Will. The three big characters on the cover of the newspaper are strong and powerful.
Shen Bujiao first flipped through the contents roughly, and his eyes were fixed on the third page, with the title "The case of the Cao family is revealed." β
She thought about it, isn't that what happened at the auction!
She stretched out her hand to pull Kong Ming, Kong Ming didn't pay attention for a while, was caught off guard and was pulled, almost fell, and stumbled a few times before standing firm.
Shen Bujiao said in a low voice: "Look at this." β
Kong Ming glanced at ten lines, quickly read the above content, and said in a low voice: "The efficiency of the government's case-handling is really high. β
Shen Bujiao said in a brisk tone: "It's really refreshing, those who do wrong things should be punished." Then he sighed, "It's really a pity that the Cao family loses one life for another." β
"The dead are gone, and there is no benefit. Kong Ming clasped his hands together and silently recited a passage of the Sutra of the Past Life.
After Shen Bujiao sighed with sadness, he continued to scroll down, and his attention was occupied by new reports.
The two stayed in Songyanzhai for an afternoon, and did not return home until the sunset was half red.
After Shen Zhixiao, Li Shuyi, Lu Qiu, Shen Bujiao, and Kong Ming finished dinner, night came quietly, and everyone sat in the backyard to enjoy the cool and chat.
The crescent moon is like a hook, and the summer insects are crisp.
A few stars twinkled, and a light breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness.
Lu Qiu got up and left for a while, and when he came back, he had two jars of wine in his hands.
Shen Bujiao rushed over with a "sigh", took a jar and looked at it, "Wow, it's the cherry blossom wine I brewed." β
Lu Qiu nodded and smiled: "Yes." She put another jar of wine in her hand on the elm table, and several people sat down around the table, "This is peach wine, for fruit wine, you two guys can drink a little more." β
Shen Bujiao immediately put down the cherry blossom wine and went to see the peach wine, Lu Qiu pulled the stopper and poured it into the cups of several people.
Shen Bujiao picked up the white jade cup, the peach wine was slightly powdery and clear, the fragrance of peaches and the strong aroma of wine entered the nose, she took a sip, the entrance was slightly sweet at first, the faint aroma of peaches lingered on the tip of the nose, the fruity taste was light, sweet and smooth, and the aftertaste also had the sour taste of peaches and the slight rush of alcohol.
"It's delicious, isn't it? Shen Bujiao sighed, "Kong Ming, right." β
Kong Ming nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Drink it refrigerated, it should taste better." β
Shen Zhixing took a sip and said with a smile: "Add some lemon slices, mint leaves and ice cubes, it should taste good." β
Shen Bujiao quickly finished drinking the peach wine in the cup, and shouted to drink the cherry blossom wine, at this time she blushed and her cheeks were red.
Li said freely: "You can only take a sip of cherry blossom wine, this is not fruit wine, children should drink less." β
Shen Bujiao nodded hurriedly, poured a glass of cherry blossom wine, and the wine swayed lightly in the glass, "Wow, look, this wine is so shiny, it's so beautiful." β
Everyone was admiring the moon, and when they heard this, they turned their eyes to the cherry blossom wine, and saw that there seemed to be starlight shining among the pink cherry blossoms in the cherry blossom liquor in the cup.
Lu Qiu smiled, "I added a little bit of edible gold leaf when I made the wine, so it looked like the starlight was shining in the petals of the cherry blossoms. β
The cherry blossom wine is refreshing in the mouth, and the aroma of plums lingers between the mouth and nose, and the wine is relatively silky, with a sweet flavor and aroma.
Tonight's night was too beautiful, and the two children, Shen Bujiao and Kong Ming, were overwhelmed by the strength of alcohol, and soon fell asleep. Seven or eight Chinese geniuses memorize ΟΟΟ.78zΟ.cΓ²ΠΌ ΠΌ.7.8zΡ.cΓ³ΠΌ in one second
They missed the starry summer night, the bright moon was clear, but some people kept looking up at the sky.
