Chang Ning said with a smile: "The people waiting below have all asked me to get out, Mama Duan is experienced in her work, but the food she cooks is difficult to eat, so I have to work for you to cook today." ”

Rong Yue seemed to be alone when she heard his words, her heart was beating wildly, jumping straight out of her chest, and her hands quietly grabbed the white jade plum blossom on the skirt to press the skirt, and her palms seemed to be sweating: "After talking for a while, I have to go back to Sister Yanlin." ”

Chang Ning was a little disappointed, and his words also revealed two points of impatience: "What are you afraid of...... I'm not going to take you how to do it. Then he whispered, "Otherwise, I won't show mercy last time." ”

Rong Yue thought about it, he seemed to be reasonable, and listened to his muffled voice: "I will go back to the south in a few days, this time I come back, I just want to see the imperial grandmother and you, I took a lot of trouble to call you here just to take a second look, it really won't be good...... "After that, he laughed at himself and said: "I have seen that you are extremely unwilling." ”

Rong Yue was touched by the affection in his words, and pitied him for his loneliness, and did not want to displease him, so he persuaded softly: "This is only the first hour of noon, I will go back at two o'clock, and we can still talk for a few hours." ”

Chang Ning heard this, but he still looked sullen like a gambler.

This time, Rong Yue thought more and more that he was suspicious and provoked him to fall in love, and asked tentatively and softly: "You have nothing to say?" ”

Chang Ning had no temper with her in the end, and when he saw her gentle words, he said: "I originally accumulated a lot of words, but this time I seem to have forgotten them." He scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a while, looked at Rong Yue and said: "When I go back to the south this time, what I see and hear is very different from the capital, and the people are also very different. ”

"In the words of Liu Sanchang, it is said that 'the smoke willows paint the bridge, the wind curtain is green, the clouds and trees surround the embankment sand, and the angry waves roll the frost and snow', and it also says 'the city is full of pearls, and the household is full of Luoqi', which must be very beautiful?" Rong Yue groaned softly.

Chang Ning disagreed, remembering the decadent scene caused by the war in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Shaanxi due to the prolongation of the war and the displacement of the people, and said: "There are wars everywhere, and there is nothing beautiful." ”

Rong Yue tried her best to lead him to speak: "What about the girl in the south?" But it's as beautiful as it comes out of a painting? ”

Chang Ning thought about the grizzled fleeing village girls, and then thought about the gaudy and cheesy military-prostitute-prostitutes, and said, "It's not good-looking...... Not as good as you. As he spoke, he glanced at Rong Yue again, and a smile appeared on his face again.

When Rong Yue heard this, her heart was like being immersed in honey, sweet and silky, her fingers twisted the willow-colored tassels embellished under the jade pressed skirt, and said with emotion: "I also want to take a look, see the remnants of the snow on the broken bridge, the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the mountains and rivers of Guilin, the smoke and willows of Qinhuai, and the lonely smoke of the desert." ”

"I'll take you there later." Chang Ning promised, remembering the chaos in the south, and said, "But we have to wait for the south mansion to be decided." ”

Rong Yue was naturally happy in his heart, but thinking of the embarrassing situation of the two, he couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't want to trouble him anymore, so he suppressed the words: "Are you going back to the army?" ”

Chang Ning said: "The imperial brother wants to parade on the Eagle Terrace in Nanyuan to boost morale, why don't I stay until that time." ”

Rong Yue looked at him carefully, his bright eyes, two thick eyebrows, a bluish stubble on his chin, a few small scars, and a lean body.

Chang Ning was embarrassed by her, touched his face and said, "You don't know, the mosquitoes in the south are really powerful...... I...... When I just went, I couldn't sleep well for a few nights. ”

Rong Yue's heart was filled with reverence, if it weren't for their bloody killing of the enemy on the front line, how could they enjoy wealth behind their backs, thinking of this, he was silent for a while.

Seeing that she was silent, Chang Ning was a little apprehensive in his heart, stood up and walked towards her and said, "The magnolia in the courtyard is all open, let's go and take a look?" ”

Rong Yue answered, the two of them went out, and passed through a moon cave door to the left, and saw the magnolia trees in the courtyard, bearing purple or white buds, such as bell chimes, like lanterns, bees flying and butterflies, fragrant.

Chang Ning saw her splendid face, which made the flowers lose color, and couldn't help but love it in her heart, but she was afraid of startling her, so she had to sit by the rockery stacked with rocks and watch quietly.

Rong Yue picked a magnolia flower and spread it in the palm of his hand to take a closer look, and saw him sitting quietly and distracted, so he couldn't help but become stubborn, went around behind the rock, and stretched out his hand to cover his eyes.

Chang Ning only felt that her little hands were soft and warm, and a burst of fragrant breath came to her face, her heart swayed, and with a slight force on her arm, people fell like petals on the crook of her arm.

Rong Yue didn't expect it, and couldn't help but exclaim, and when she realized that the two were so close, she blushed.

Chang Ning saw her cowardly appearance, and a fire seemed to ignite in his heart, driving him to get closer to Fang Ze.

Rong Yue exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly broke free from his arms, and hid behind a magnolia tree.

Chang Ning puffed out his cheeks like a negative anger and said, "It's boring." ”

Rong Yue didn't dare to speak, only opened a pair of eyes to look at him, and the latter beckoned and said, "Come here." ”

Rong Yue's head shook like a rattle, Chang Ning had children early, and he knew what was going on in his heart, but he didn't want to frighten her, so he could only forcibly press the evil fire in his heart, and smiled at her: "If I spare you this time, it will be a matter of time before and after." ”

Rong Yue pouted unconvinced, just when he looked up, the latter couldn't help but laugh, he was already heroic, this smile must be from the heart, reflected by the early spring sun, as sunny as the sun.

Rong Yue coughed lightly and said, "I'm going to prepare lunch?" ”

Chang Ning snorted and waved at her.

Rong Yue got away and left, but she was not very frightened in her heart, but she was as happy as she had stolen a turquoise bracelet from her mother when she was a child.

She was happy and worried, and she didn't want to think about any tricks, seeing some stuffed and pickled meat in the original kitchen, she processed it a little, and after a while, she cleaned up a few small dishes and came out, Mama Duan has been watching from the side, her expression is still like an ancient pool, quiet and waveless.

Chang Ning looked at the 'crystal goose, roasted reed pig, bad goose paw, stewed Yinzi fish, hazelnut sugar porridge, luan soup, roll cut' in front of him, and couldn't help but praise: "I thought you were looking for those recipes to relieve boredom, but I didn't want to really practice good skills." ”

Rong Yue lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips and smiled.

Chang Ning practiced the habit of eating meat and drinking wine in the barracks, and at this moment the meal was exquisite and from the hands of his sweetheart, so he naturally feasted on it, pointed to the bad goose paw and praised: "This dish is the best." ”

Rong Yue smiled: "This is what the cook has done, I'll just put it out." ”

Chang Ning turned his head to look at her proudly and smiled, Rong Yue took a sip of the soup, and said casually: "My mash duck letter is much better than this, and it is not difficult to say it, but it is first marinated with more than ten kinds of condiments such as cinnamon, red dates, bay leaves, etc., and then marinated, simmered until crispy, and then put it in the dregs and simmer for a day." ”

Chang Ning smiled: "That's fine, I'll have a good mouth in the future." ”

Rong Yue heard him say this, and pulled away the conversation as if he was dodging: "Speaking of this, it's just that I have a specialization in the art industry, and when it comes to cooking tea, I am dumbfounded, Sister Yan Lin is really a tea addict." Speaking of this, he remembered that he secretly used a hidden poem to sign, and asked: "You are so bold, a cautious person like Sister Yan Lin, you dare to work on her, but I don't understand how she can make a move?" Could it be ...... How many catties of white tea did you give her? ”

"It's because of her tight mouth that she looked for her," Chang Ning was full of wine and food, put down the dishes and chopsticks, pulled her up and walked to the yard to eat, and said with a smile: "Although what you said is not far away, I will help her make tea, not a few catties, but hundreds of catties." ”

Rong Yue thought he was smiling, and continued: "A few hundred catties, it's enough for Sister Yan Lin and her family to drink to the ground, right?" ”

Chang Ning rubbed her forehead dotingly, and said, "Fucha Yanlin is different from you, don't judge her with your thoughts." ”

These words made Rong Yue more and more curious.

The sun was sinking in the west, and it was getting cold outside, so he took a stone green silk cloak and put it on for Rong Yue, until she asked again and again, and then said: "You have always been in a relationship, what is the situation of her family, this should be clear." ”

Rong Yue said: "The old man in the Fucha Mansion retired early, away from the court, although he has a title, he has no real power. Sister Yan Lin's parents died when she was a child, and several uncles and uncles are even more arrogant and lascivious than this one, raising young people, and playing dramas, and there is no half of them who study and plan martial arts. If it weren't for the fact that her big leech-like relatives would be difficult to clean up, her sister would have planned to point her out to Faka. ”

Chang Ning said: "That's right, Fucha Yanlin's dowry is only afraid that this will be ruined, and there will be no one left." After that, she looked at Rong Yue, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and her eyes were extremely soft, even so, this little girl was still intimate with Fucha Yanlin, sincere help, and never belittled and ridiculed, perhaps because of this, she was so loved.

Rong Yue understood, and said slowly: "Two or three years ago, Sister Yan Lin ran a tea shop, and she also asked us to join a few people, I invested some money at that time, and I recovered the principal and interest in less than a year. Could it be ...... Are you in the tea business with Sister Yan Lin? "Going a little deeper, did he go south to fight or do business? Rong Yue suddenly found that the Prince Gong in his impression was just a little bit of skin.

Naturally, it's not just tea, Chang Ning thought so in his heart, and remembered that in this capital, he had to cry for half a day to pay some military salaries to buy some grain and grass for the front-line sergeants and people, and he rushed to buy some dispensable tea at a high price but was a race to the luxury of one by one, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said softly: "I guessed right this time." ”

Rong Yue asked again: "But her cousin's grandfather's uncle is also angry, and it is said that he has to use it in the court." Then his expression darkened, and he said to himself: "After all, this is separated by several layers, how can you put yourself in her shoes?" Marriage is the most difficult thing to manage, and one bad thing is to complain. I want to come with the same temperament as Sister Fucha......"

Chang Ning took her unspeakable words: "She is by no means willing to give in and be at the mercy of others." ”

Rong Yue couldn't help but feel worried: "It's really embarrassing for her, alas." ”

Thinking of the hard work of the soldiers, Chang Ning planned to bring more silver tickets when he went back, and also slightly improved the food for the brothers in the ranks, and replied indiscriminately: "You are also worried about her, and now she is afraid that she will be much smoother than you." ”

Rong Yue remembered Fucha Yanlin's words today, and said, "Could it be that Sister Yanlin's major event has been decided?" How would you know such a thing...... I don't even know ......."

Chang Ning realized that he blurted out something he didn't intend to say, and saw her wrinkle a little face again, as if she was jealous, and there was a sweetness in her heart, and she said with a smile: "The person is a distant relative of her mother, and she has been funded by her for many years. ”

Rong Yue said again: "But...... Eight Banners women can't be married without selection? ”

Chang Ning said: "This is not a big deal, the old lady Fucha also has some connections, she has already said hello, and the primary election is a stubborn disease to be screened out." ”

Rong Yue asked, "Where is it so easy?" ”

Chang Ning sighed: "You are different from her, although Fucha Yanlin is not a saltless person, she is not very good, she was born in a dilapidated aristocratic family, I don't know how many such women are in the Eight Banners." I'm afraid that the royal brother will not remember if he goes right with her. But what about you, when you took out the shares, wasn't it because you had big roots and deep roots in the Niu Cobalt family, and you couldn't look down on this idea of small money? ”

Rong Yue said coquettishly: "But people are smart and capable, and they can make money." I'll spend money, but I'm not much better than me? ”

Chang Ning smiled bitterly: "You can't see this from a distance, as for silver, the imperial brother has never been short of silver." ”

Rong Yue asked, "What about you?" Do you lack silver? ”

Chang Ning laughed at her for being so straightforward, a woman who is too smart is naturally good, but if she turns the gun to herself, it will not only be a headache, of course, she can't say this to Rong Yue, she only coaxed softly: "I lack money, but I prefer to earn it myself." ”

Rong Yue smiled, and then stared at his eyes, as if she wanted to look deeply: "With so many women, I am by no means the most beautiful, nor the best, not even smart, and there are such tricky troubles waiting for you, why do you ...... Still, you ......"

She couldn't say what she wanted to say, how could he not understand, and said word by word: "That year, when you first learned about it, you mistook fireworks for a birthday gift, and almost burned half of the Gongshun Hou's Mansion, and were ridiculed and excluded by everyone, and were reprimanded by your stepmother in public, and when you secretly hid behind the carriage and cried, I was thinking that one day, I would take good care of this girl and never let her be bullied again." I've been watching you silently all these years, and you've grown up better than I expected, more beautiful, and kinder than I expected. ”

"Yue'er," she said in a gentle but firm voice that she had never felt before, "I am sincere to you, and the Fujin of Prince Shuogong's Mansion will always be kept for one person—that is you, Niu Co Lu Rongyue!" ”

Rong Yue only felt that the tip of her nose was sour, and there were tears constantly rolling in her eyes, the most humble and cruel years, the time when she almost couldn't survive, he was always waiting behind her back, looking, distressed.

Sure enough, the heavens are fair, and that period of vicissitudes of life, like a rough stone eroded by the wind, faded from the shell, but it is a piece of clear jasper.

The trees were bleak all around, and it was just when the dead leaves were swept away before new shoots sprouted, and the thin sunset shone through the bare branches on the two people facing each other, casting a fragmented shadow on the rocky ground.

Rong Yue asked in a deep heart, "...... you Is that the one I'm waiting for? ”

The two sat on the curved railing in front of the court and talked to each other, talking about the things of these years, there were sighs and regrets, and naturally there were joys, until the sunset disappeared into the blue mountains, Chang Ning reluctantly sent people to the carriage of the Fucha family.
