[Chapter 105 Two Flowers Bloom] One branch each

If the rice is not done well, it will be replaced, and the king of the southwest feels very stressed.

Chu Yuan sat on a small bench and watched him stand by the stove for a long time without moving, so he asked, "Are you planning to cast a spell?" ”

Duan Baiyue didn't give up and asked, "Do you really eat braised fish?" Do you want to eat scrambled eggs? ”

Chu Yuan shook his head: "Don't eat it." ”

Duan Baiyue had no choice but to untie a fish from the beam.

Chu Yuan reminded: "It should be fried into the shape of a flower basket." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Chu Yuan looked at him for a moment and compromised: "Okay, it's done." ”

Thanks to the fact that the fish had been processed during the day, Duan Baiyue poured oil into the pot, and then carefully put the fish in.

Chu Yuan waited for the meal wholeheartedly.

After a while, the sound of stabbing and lala came, and there was even a slight fragrance, Duan Baiyue felt that it should be quite reliable. The bottom of the pot will naturally be mushy, but at least it can be cooked, and after the broken fish meat is served, some salt and soy sauce are added.

Chu Yuan asked, "Are you alright?" ”

Duan Baiyue looked at the black pile on the plate and said calmly, "Not yet." ”

Chu Yuan said, "Oh." ”

Duan Baiyue chopped some green onions and put them on, which became more and more miserable.

Chu Yuan stood up and walked over.

Duan Baiyue decisively clasped the plate with the lid of the pot, and strode out of the kitchen door with a large person in her arms.

Chu Yuan sighed: "I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death in the future." ”

Duan Baiyue emphasized: "At least I can wash rice." ”

Chu Yuan asked, "Eat rice all at once?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "What else do you want to eat, I'll learn." ”

Chu Yuan pressed his chin against him and said, "Buddha jumped over the wall." ”

Duan Baiyue coaxed: "Well, when you get old in the future, I will jump to you every three or five times." ”

Chu Yuan said again: "There are five bowls and eight pieces." ”

Duan Baiyue agreed: "Okay, good." ”

Without thinking, it is full of a strong sense of unreliability.

Chu Yuan pulled his hair, and said in his heart, otherwise, let's change it, anyway, there are many people in Da Chu.

Duan Baiyue said: "You are not allowed to change." ”

Chu Yuan pouted.

You care about me.

You take care of me.

Duan Baiyue hugged the person tighter.

Two months is a long time, but it is also short.

The East China Sea affairs had been dealt with, and the newly transferred local officials had also taken office, and the night before leaving, Ye Jin sat on the roof and watched as someone not only entered his brother's bedroom, but even blew out the candles.

Shen Qianfeng said: "Maybe I'm talking about business." ”

Ye Jin said calmly: "Hmm." ”

The black light is blind, there is no one around, and it is very reasonable to discuss some military affairs and secrets of political leaders.

It was quiet in the house.

Duan Baiyue leaned on the head of the bed, her arm took Chu Yuan into her arms, neither of them spoke, just leaned quietly together, listening to the faint sound of the waves outside the window.

In the second half of the night, Chu Yuan closed his eyes and slept soundly.

Duan Baiyue tucked the corners of the quilt for him and gently dropped a shallow kiss on his forehead.

In the early morning of the second day, the Chu army returned to the court, and Duan Baiyue also led his subordinates all the way to the southwest. The people stand on both sides of the road, very reluctant - one is not reluctant to give up the emperor, and the other is not reluctant to give up the southwest king, after all, in these days, the southwest garrison will give rice noodles to the big guy every three or five hours, and even bacon dried goods, the dried mushrooms in the mountains and forests of Dali are used to make soup, and the taste left in the mouth can be fresh until next year.

I haven't eaten enough, so why didn't I leave?

Outside Dali City, Duan Yao couldn't wait to tiptoe and waved happily: "Brother! ”

Duan Baiyue turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I've grown taller." ”

"Brother." Duan Yao ran forward and looked behind him, but he didn't see the carriage, so he asked in a low voice, "Where is my sister-in-law?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "I've returned to the royal city." ”

"Huh?" Duan Yao was frustrated when she heard this, "You really didn't bring anyone back, Aunt Jin has found all the tailors and is drinking tea in the house." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Then I will make you two sets of new clothes." ”

Duan Yao hurriedly waved his hand: "That's red satin." "No one else can wear it.

Duan Baiyue really didn't want to discuss this matter anymore, so she asked, "What about Master?" ”

Duan Yao replied: "I went to the South China Sea." ”

"South China Sea?" Duan Baiyue paused, "What are you going to do in the South China Sea?" ”

"It has nothing to do with others, but Master received a letter from an old friend, inviting him to live in Xianshan Mountain in the South China Sea for a while, as if it was to congratulate someone on his birthday." Duan Yao said, "Master looked a little impatient, and rode out of the palace on a donkey that afternoon. ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Master still has old friends? ”

Duan Yao spread his hands: "I thought so before, but later Aunt Jin said that there is a broken pot and a rotten lid to match." ”

Duan Baiyue asked again, "Did Master say which island he went to and when he could come back?" ”

"I don't know which island, but I said that I would go for half a year at most, and I would definitely rush back before the Chu army attacked the South Seas." Duan Yao said, "Master also said, anyway, you will definitely not be able to get married in this year and a half, and it will be in vain for him to stay in the mansion, so it is better to go out for a walk." ”

Turning over and over these few words, Duan Baiyue's brain hurts.

Ye Jin was taken back to Sun Moon Villa by Shen Qianfeng, and finally no one talked about baldness and inaction every day, but Chu Yuan's ears were not much quiet.

"Your Majesty." Sixi's father-in-law said outside, "Master Tao asks to see." ”

Chu Yuan continued to criticize the folds and said, "Let's just say that I am busy." ”

Sixi's father-in-law hurriedly said: "Master Tao said, this time it's not for the draft.

Chu Yuan dropped the fold and said, "Xuan." ”

Tao Rende entered the imperial study and looked like he was in a very good mood.

Chu Yuan quipped: "Didn't Liu Aiqing make a matchmaker for Master Taifu?" ”

"Your Majesty." Tao Rende hurriedly waved his hand, "There is no such thing, there is no such thing." "If you let the command of your family know, you will have it.

Chu Yuan said: "Then what is the matter of Lord Taifu's trip?" ”

Tao Rende said: "Today, the old minister received a letter from the White Elephant Country. ”

"White Elephant Country, Jin Shu wrote it?" Chu Yuan frowned.

"It is the lord of the White Elephant Country, and he wrote it himself." Tao Rende said.

"White Elephant Lord?" Chu Yuan finally got some interest.

"He wants to use the power of the two countries to reopen a new trade route in the South Seas." Tao Rende said.

Chu Yuan smiled: "The appetite is not small, and the number of ships now is not enough for him to eat." ”

Tao Rende said: "It is precisely because of the increasing prosperity of Nanyang commerce and trade that the shipping routes will become more and more crowded. ”

"The opening of a new waterway is by no means a year and a half to complete, and it is not careless." Chu Yuan shook his head, "Besides, even if a new channel is opened, the benefits that the White Elephant Kingdom will get from it are far greater than those of the Chu State, such a project that costs people and money, does he want to settle it with just a few letters?" ”

"So the Lord of the White Elephant Kingdom wants to enter the palace in person to face the saint." Tao Rende said, "Let's discuss this matter." ”

"In person?" Chu Yuan asked, "When?" ”

Tao Rende said: "Looking at the other party's meaning, it seems that the sooner the better." ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "It's okay to meet him." ”

"Then the old minister will personally draft a letter and send someone to send it to Nanyang urgently." Tao Rende said, "Please come to the Great Chu Palace for a while." ”

Chu Yuan promised, and after watching him retreat, he called Sixi and said that he wanted to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk.

After being busy for so long, finally seeing that the emperor was in the mood to enjoy the scenery, Sixi hurriedly ordered the waiter to prepare dim sum and fruits in the pavilion, and made a pot of fine Jiangnan Qing.

"Jiang Nanqing, is it the tea sent by Wen Aiqing?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Back to the emperor, exactly." Sixi said, "It is Lord Wen's own tea mountain, and it is said that Lord Wen's mother took the maid and personally picked the tea one by one and fried it, and half of the man's turbidity has not been touched." ”

"That's a rarity." Chu Yuan said with a smile, "Wen Aiqing's sleeves are breezy, it's rare to send me something, this tea needs to be delicious." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man came from a distance.

"Wood idiot senior." Chu Yuan was very respectful to him.

"See the Emperor." The old man saluted - compared with the previous time when he fled, in this palace can be said to be well fed and clothed, and no one pursues him, so he is at ease every day, his face is full of red light, and he has gained weight several times.

"Where are the seniors going?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Back to the emperor, I was originally napping under the rockery." The old man said, "It's just that I smelled a smell of tea, so I came over to take a look." ”

Chu Yuan said with a smile: "It turns out that the predecessor is a person who is good at tea. ”

"This tea smells familiar." The old man said, "But it's from Jiangnan?" ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "Exactly." ”

The old man asked, "Which tea mountain?" ”

"I know which tea mountain it is, and my predecessors are afraid that they won't be able to buy it, and this tea is not sold." Chu Yuan said, "I will send some to my predecessors." ”

"Then who is the owner of this tea mountain?" The woodworm old man breaks the casserole.

Chu Yuan was puzzled and guessed: "The seniors know the owner of this tea mountain?" ”

"I was hunted down and killed in the rivers and lakes before, and the owner of this tea mountain is a lifesaver for me." The old man said, "It's a pity that I was seriously injured and unconscious, and I didn't see the appearance of my benefactor clearly, but I only remembered the aroma and sweetness of this tea." ”

"And that kind of thing?" Chu Yuan was slightly surprised. Chashan belongs to the Wen family, a scholarly family of more than ten generations in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no one who knows kung fu, so he will save the people in the rivers and lakes?

"Your Majesty." Sixi's father-in-law said in a low voice, "Although Master Wen is a little weaker, he is also a chivalrous and courageous person, and he has saved the heroine of the Tianya Pavilion before, and now she is Lord Wen's godmother." ”

Chu Yuan: "......"

Can this kind of thing be inquired about so clearly?

"Seniors can easily tell me, what happened on the tea mountain?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Actually, it's not complicated." The old man said, "Nine years ago, I was chased and killed by the enemy, and I ran into a tea mountain in a panic, but I fainted because of my body. In a drowsy state, I only remember that it was like being dragged into the house and hidden, and when I woke up again, I was surrounded by the exact same fragrance of tea. ”

Chu Yuan asked again: "Who is chasing and killing the seniors?" ”

The old man of the wood idiot had a bitter face: "It's from the White Elephant Country." ”

"White Elephant Country?" Chu Yuan was surprised, "The seniors still have a grudge against the White Elephant Kingdom?" ”

"Grievances can't be discussed, at most business can't be negotiated, and it's just annoyed and angry." The old man said, "The emperor doesn't know anything, the lord of the White Elephant Country is also a cruel and cold-blooded person, no matter whether he is ambitious or not, he must be on guard early." ”
