Three days later, the emperor summoned the new branch to go home to save his relatives and take a month's vacation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info A month later, the return to the dynasty was restored.

"You've been out for so long, you haven't even gone home for the New Year, and now that you've won the top prize, I think you should go home to see your father and your mother." Qing Xuan sat beside Bing Yu and persuaded.

"What if I go back and my father doesn't let me out again?" Bing Yu's two jade hands wrung the handkerchief in his hand and said sullenly.

"Then I'll go and ask my father-in-law for someone, why don't you let you out?" When Qing Xuan heard this, his face was displeased, as if he was about to settle accounts with his father-in-law.

"Think about it, I didn't tell him about the old man when I got married, and this time I won the champion again, how could he let me toss in the world like this? Besides, you are a human being, I am a dragon, and we should not have intermarried. Let him know this layer, and he will definitely not agree to me to continue to be with you. ”

Bing Yu's eyebrows tightened, and her face was full of sadness. In fact, how envious she is that others can go home to save their relatives and glorify their ancestors after winning the champion. But she couldn't. I don't know what her father's reaction will be when he knows that she is the champion, if she is happy, it is fine, if she is angry, maybe he will tie her up in the cold palace, and she will not be let out in this life.

As long as Bing Yu thought of this layer, a cold sweat would unconsciously break out on his back.

She said, "Forget it, Hugh will have to talk about going home later." ”

Qing Xuan saw that she was unhappy, so she stopped mentioning letting her go back to her parents' house.

Seeing that it was the Cold Food Festival, Bing Yu and Qing Xuan got up early, and after worshipping the god of the stove, they divided half of the snacks they bought yesterday to the housekeeper and the servants, as well as various side dishes such as shredded mustard greens, peanuts, and cool skins. The broad beans were all taken to them, and half a pot of wine.

Qing Xuan and Bing Yu ate two pieces of dim sum on side dishes and drank some boiled water. It's kind of feeding the belly. After a while, they were ready to go up the mountain, get some flower soil by the way, and then plant the seeds.

After the steward and the servants had eaten, they went to feed the horses and sheep, and then cleaned the courtyard. I also have to clean up the two carriages that Mr. Bai sent last time. The young master said that after the Qingming Festival, he and his wife may go on a trip to other places for a few days, and then they will have to use a carriage.

"We've got to bring a bag of flowers, or how about we get them back?" Ice Jade and Qingxuan chattered.

"Bag-bag-" Qing Xuan's eyes searched around, thinking to himself, where to get the bag?

"Butler-butler-" In a hurry, Qing Xuan had to ask the housekeeper for help.

"Young master, what are you looking for me?" The butler trotted over from the backyard and asked.

"You find me some bags, and I'm going to get some flowers and soil with my wife."

"Okay, wait a minute." The butler turned to leave, and for a moment he didn't know where to get several sacks.

"Are these enough?" He asked.

"Enough, enough."

Qing Xuan and Bing Yu took the sack and two shovels and left. The housekeeper looked at their backs and said to himself, "The young master is very good, but he is a little short-tempered." ”

"Where are we going? Go overseas or Huaguoshan? Qingxuan asked.

"Let's go to Huaguo Mountain, the scenery should be better."

"Okay." Qing Xuan took Bingyu's hand, and the two of them urged the spell, and they arrived at Huaguo Mountain in an instant. There are really a lot of people who come to Huaguo Mountain on this day. People come in groups and climb up the mountain road. When they are tired, they sit on the side of the road and rest for a while, and the children take the opportunity to pick up stones on the mountain to play, or to pick up acorns that have fallen from the trees. If you pick up too much, you put it in your pocket and keep it for you to play with as marbles at home.

The apricot blossoms on the mountain bloomed, and the whole slope of the mountain was bloomed whitely. A group of young girls chased and played under the tree, and at the end, they also used the theme of "apricot blossoms" to chant poems, which attracted several young scholars to come over to have fun.

Listen to a young man read: (1)

In the evening, the string orchestra is urged, and the spring breeze enters Qiluo.

Apricot blossoms are intentional, and there are many dance shirts.

The girls were not convinced, and also stood up and recited a song: (2)

The mountain and the moon are bitter, and the spring breeze is long.

There is no reason and dust, still with the fragrance of apricot blossoms.

Bingyu folded flower branches beside her, ready to go home and insert them in a vase, listening to their poems, she was also interested, and casually chanted: (3)

The daughter of the Ziyang Palace held Dansha, and the Queen Mother ordered the Han Emperor's family.

The spring breeze refused to stop the immortal drive, but looked at the apricot blossoms at Penglai.

When everyone heard this, they all followed the prestige, and shouted sharply: "Isn't this this this year's new champion?" How could you meet here. Oh, how lucky. ”

Everyone exclaimed: "It's incredible, it turns out that this year's champion Lang is actually a daughter." Everyone gathered around, all wanting to see the demeanor of the talented woman.

Qing Xuan stood next to him and said in a low voice: "It's bad, lady, you have been recognized, should we run?" ”

"No, I think they are also curious, we just satisfy their curiosity." Bingyu took the flower branch, stepped forward and said: "My husband and I passed by here, I wanted to break a few flower branches and leave, but I didn't hold back when I thought about it, and casually said a few nonsense, stirring up everyone's Yaxing, I'm really sorry." ”

"Nothing, everything. We are fortunate to have the privilege of seeing the demeanor of the new champions, how can we say that it has stirred our interest. We didn't bother you and you, did we? A little girl in a light green dress said.

"No, but we still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." Bingyu excused herself to leave.

"Hey, I heard that your husband is this year's Tanhua, and your husband and wife are so talented and beautiful, it's really envious." A young scholar said.

"Awards, awards." Bing Yu took Qing Xuan's hand and whispered, "Don't go quickly......"

It was not easy to avoid the questioning of these people, Bing Yu thought, they are like paparazzi in the real world, and they will ask you endlessly if they catch you.

The two of them came to a sunny hillside. There are two pear trees here, and the canopy is so large that it covers the sky. The pear blossoms on the tree are as white as snow, and standing under the tree, a faint fragrance wafts straight into the nose tube.

A golden monkey squatted on a tree branch, pulling the white flower to eat. Just stuffed two flowers into his mouth, and before he had time to chew in a hurry, when he saw someone coming, Fang stopped his movements and probed his brain to observe the movement.

Bing Yu said: "Let's dig the flower soil here, there are petals falling here all year round, and the soil must be very fertile." ”

Qing Xuan agreed, put the flower in his hand aside, and then picked up the shovel and began to shovel the soil. With this effort, the ice jade circled around.

This turn, sure enough, she found what she was looking for.

Because it is a sunny hillside, the grass will grow earlier than the north slope. Of course, wild vegetables will also grow at this time. After Bing Yu found the traces of wild vegetables, he took a shovel and dug it here and there. It didn't take long to dig up a big handful.

The golden monkey jumped from branch to branch, and watched the two people under the tree busy and tried to make trouble, but found that they did not have anything to eat, so they gave up. However, I didn't want to deal with humans, so I jumped and strung to other trees.

The mountain is full of flowering trees, and it does not worry about having nothing to eat.

Qing Xuan dug up the soil and sweated, and when he saw that Bingyu had not come to help, he shouted a little angrily: "Hey, what are you doing there?" Why don't you come and earn a bag for me? ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Ice Jade replied with a loud voice.

After a while, she came over with wild vegetables in her hand and said with a smile, "We have something delicious to eat in the evening." "That's it?" Qing Xuan was not angry.

"Hmm."

……

The two of them carried the flowers and soil home (of course, they summoned the beasts to help carry them, but they didn't have the strength to carry so many flowers and soil), and the butler and the servants came over to help pour them into the flower beds. Qing Xuan was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, so he threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

Bing Yu inserted the folded flower branches into a vase and placed them in the bedroom. Then he took out the flower seeds, picked a few rose and azalea seeds, sprinkled them in the soil, buried them, and scooped them from the kitchen and watered them again.

After a period of busy work, when he sat down to rest, Fang felt tired, sleepy and hungry. Seeing that Xianggong was asleep, it was not easy to disturb him, so she washed her face and hands, ate something simply, and went to rest.

The advantage of the Cold Food Festival is that you don't have to make a fire to cook, which is simply a lazy festival!

Qingxuan slept this time, but he slept until the second watch. When he was full of sleep and opened his eyes, he was the only one in bed! The candles on the table in front of the bed were burning brightly, and next to the candles, in a white porcelain vase, were inserting the flowers they had folded back from the mountain. The flowers were pretty and cute, as if they were smiling at him.

Looking out the window again, it was already dark, and there was not even moonlight.

He called, "Baby-baby-"

"Yes." A voice came from the kitchen.

Somehow, hearing her echo, he felt relieved. If he doesn't answer, his heart will panic. Inexplicable panic.

He went down to the ground and put on his shoes. Although he had relieved a lot of fatigue, or even felt no fatigue at all, he felt hungry again. He thought about it, but no, this day, except for the meal in the morning, there is still not a drop of water.

"What are you doing?" He went to the kitchen and looked for what she had prepared for him.

"Hungry, aren't you?"

She turned around and brought the prepared dinner to the table.

He took a closer look: there was a plate of green leafy vegetables, a plate of beef in sauce, a plate of osmanthus cake, a plate of dried salted fish, and a plate of mixed tofu. Four courses, one main course. Standard recipes.

"What a sumptuous dinner, but baby, where did you get your beef and dried salted fish?"

"This is what I did yesterday. I can't make a fire today, so I deliberately prepared today's food when I was cooking. Bing Yu wiped her hands on her apron and took out two pairs of chopsticks from the bamboo tube.

"Would you like some wine?" Bingyu sat down and asked.

"Drink a little if you have one."

Bingyu took a jar of plum blossom wine from the cupboard, poured a glass for each of them, and put it back on it. This plum blossom wine is pure in color, fragrant in smell, and there is a faint fragrance of plum blossom before drinking.

Therefore, plum blossom is used as raw material in the brewing process of liquor, so it is named plum blossom wine. Because of the complexity of the wine brewing process, it can only be brewed with a cooking grade of more than 50, so the price of wine in the market is also quite expensive. Generally, the price of plum blossom wine is not lower than 10,000 taels, and the price even soars to 20,000 taels in the case of a shortage of supply!

The so-called "art industry has a specialization", Bing Yu only puts his mind on the skills of the craftsman, so the level of cooking is not high. Although Qing Xuan had cultivated some cooking skills, his level did not exceed level 20.

So, if they want to drink high-quality wine, they have to buy.

This jar of plum blossom wine was bought by Bing Yu and Qing Xuan when they were shopping ten days ago. At that time, there was only this one altar left in the store, and he was a little reluctant to sell it, and he was reluctant to cut his love by Qingxuan's three-inch tongue.

"It's a little cold at night, but drinking some wine is a good way to ward off the cold." Bing Yu picked up the wine glass and touched Qing Xuan's cup.

"Well, it's still the lady who understands me."

The two pushed glasses and changed glasses, eating and drinking while gossiping. Until the third watch, there was a tireless call on the street for the husband to "dry the weather, be careful of the candles", and he went to rest.
