Chapter 10: Self-Appreciation (II)
Rhododendron, also known as Yingshan red, according to legend, there are cuckoo birds in ancient times, crying day and night and hemoptysis, dyeing red flowers all over the mountain, hence the name. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The usual rhododendron flowering period is from March to May, but the rhododendron of the Southern Jin Dynasty blooms the most beautiful in the middle of autumn, and in autumn, the whole rhododendron on Anshan competes to open, and the whole mountain seems to be dyed red by blood.
Guan Yiyi thought that the cuckoos bloomed in March and May, and when it came to autumn, he could take Qingqing to the orchard to pick a few baskets of fruits, stay in the shop and read the script, and wait for the destined person to tell the story, and when he was fine, he could also tease Zong Jiming, and it was not in vain to take him out for a walk.
Who knew that in order to see the cuckoo with her, Zong Jiming actually took her to the Southern Jin Dynasty, the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Jin Dynasty, one to the south, one to the north, in order to catch up with the most beautiful flowering period of the azalea, when he set off from the summer resort, Zong Jiming prepared a good horse, and took her all the way to run wildly, and even the scenery of the road was not well appreciated.
Guan Yisheng was angry, she was really sleepy and tired, and the monarch of the Southern Jin Dynasty teased her at this time, so she was really angry.
"Qiu Hong, do you have a peach here?" Zong Jiming looked at Guan Yiyi's face that had eaten gunpowder, a little scared, he knew her careful thoughts, but she always stayed in the shop, he wanted to take her to see all his relatives and friends, not just his eldest brother and sister-in-law.
"Are you kidding Lone? What season is this? Where are there peaches, but a few days ago, the head of the household brought back a cart of oranges from his hometown to Lonely, if you don't dislike it......"
Lone can reward you two.
"Okay, Dark One, you go and get it," Zong Jiming put down Guan Yiyi's hair and got up, "One by one, Dark One will send oranges to your room in a while, why don't we go shopping in Ansan first?" ”
"But I want to eat oranges", Guan Yiyi's eyes were full of these words, and Zong Jiming's heart turned into a puddle of water, "Dark Three, you go with Dark One, as soon as possible." ”
……
Ansan.
"One by one, woo, do you think these cuckoos are beautiful?" This orange is so sour.
"It's pretty good, are we really just here to see the cuckoo this time?" Guan Yiyi held a peeled orange in one hand and stuffed it into his mouth without changing his face.
Could it be that the one in one hand is sweeter? Zong Jiming snatched a petal of orange from Guan Yiyi's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, it was even more sour, and his sour teeth were about to fall, "When, of course, Yiyi, don't eat this orange, I don't know if Ye Qiuhong is fixing us, how can there be such a sour orange, why don't we go and eat sugar gourd." ”
"Sugar gourd? Bring Lone, Lone can pay. Ye Qiuhong, who was standing on the side and holding back a smile, finally spoke, he hadn't been out of the palace for a long time.
"Then let the dark take a few plants back, the Southern Jin Dynasty is too far away, I will raise it myself in the ears, and I will go to the shop to see the cuckoos in the autumn next year." Guan Yiyi ignored Ye Qiuhong's words one by one, and considered in his heart whether the climate of the Northern Jin Dynasty was suitable for planting this rhododendron.
"Then let's go to the market, Lao Zhang's sugar gourd is the best, the hawthorn is the largest, the syrup is also boiled just right, and the freshly fried sesame seeds are sprinkled on it, Zong Jiming, go quickly, I can't wait."
"One by one, are you leaving?"
"Hmm."
This orange is indeed a little sour, in fact, her favorite is citrus, but citrus is not available in the Northern Jin Dynasty, if you want to eat citrus, you must go to a far place to transport it back, she is afraid of causing trouble to Qingqing, she can only say that she likes to eat oranges.
Just now she has endured not drinking water, in fact, she has long been bitter in her sour mouth, and when she heard that Nan Jinjun mainly eats sugar gourds, and the description is so delicious, she was stunned to arouse the little gluttony in her heart.
On the street, two men and a woman walked in the market, each holding a string of sugar gourds in their hands, and eating was fragrant.
Gao Dingyuan, the general of Dingguo, stood behind them, his face was a little tangled, whether he wanted to stop the king who was full of sugar scum in front of him, in case someone recognized the king on the street, wouldn't the face of the monarch of the Southern Jin Dynasty be lost? But if he called it, would the regent beat him up if he found out?
"That ......" Gao Dingyuan struggled for a long time, and finally decided to take a step forward.
"Yo, General Gao is also here to eat sugar gourds? How much do you want? Lone can pay. Ye Qiuhong patted the purse hanging from his waist, and there was a sound of silver colliding inside.
"King Xie, but the minister doesn't like sweets, so he won't spend the money on the king." Gao Dingyuan took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Ye Qiuhong.
Ye Qiuhong took the handkerchief and wiped it on his mouth.
Zong Jiming took out the handkerchief from his arms, gently wiped the sugar residue from the corner of his mouth for Guan Yiyi, then put the handkerchief back in his arms, and handed the sugar gourd in his hand that he hadn't eaten to Guan Yiyi.
Ye Qiuhong stared at this scene with wide eyes, and felt that he was really a ghost.
"Wang, it's already noon, why don't we go to the restaurant to eat something together, Wang has been shopping for so long, he must be very tired." Gao Dingyuan broke this embarrassing atmosphere at the right time and asked Ye Qiuhong.
"Cough, let's go, let's go, I'm going to be hungry, I heard that a new restaurant has opened in the city, and the daughters there are all old, and I'm going to try it today." Ye Qiuhong stepped forward first, and there were still a few tiny golden sugar slags at the corners of his mouth, shining in the sunlight.
……
"Xiao Er, give the best daughter in your store to the master, and then open a room for the master." Gao Dingyuan roared after entering the restaurant, which frightened the restaurant that was full of people and suddenly quieted down.
Xiao Er was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses and saw that the four people in front of him were dressed extraordinarily, he immediately laughed flatteringly and led them to the best wing.
After serving the wine and food, Ye Qiuhong looked at Gao Dingyuan, who had a tangled expression all the way, "General Gao, don't worry, they are all their own people, and they must all know about it." ”
Gao Dingyuan, the son of Gao Ji, joined the army with his father at the age of ten, and made countless military achievements since he was a child, and was named the general of Dingguo at the age of twenty-five.
"Wang, the Western Jin Dynasty seems to have made some moves recently, I'm afraid I can't bear it anymore." Gao Dingyuan held the wine glass and poured wine for himself with an indifferent face.
"Although Lu Yi is an uncontrollable person, but Qiu Hong, you have to be careful, he has 800,000 forbidden troops in his hands, and he is practicing day and night at this time, I'm afraid I can't wait." Zong Jiming gave Guan Yi a dish one by one, and casually reminded Ye Qiuhong.
The Four Jin Dynasty is the strongest of the four major countries among the countries, among which the Western Jin Dynasty is famous for its rich products, and it is the richest country in the Four Jin Dynasty.
Lu Yi has been on the throne for six years, and he has gathered a lot of businessmen, secretly making weapons, and wants to take down the Southern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop, just because Ye Qiuhong doesn't care about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and only likes to fiddle with some useless flowers and plants.
But he seems to have forgotten one thing, although Ye Qiuhong did not make any great achievements after succeeding to the throne, but the Southern Jin Dynasty did not decay in his hands, on the contrary, the people were doing well, and no one was hungry and cold, which is enough to see that Ye Zhen was very correct in passing the seat to Ye Qiuhong at the beginning.
"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if people offend me, then I can't help it." Ye Qiuhong shrugged, as if he didn't care at all about the invasion of the Western Jin Dynasty.
"Hahahaha, I like the king's temperament, and when the king of the Western Jin Dynasty comes, I will see if the lord doesn't beat him up, and the fart will be flowing."
"Hey, can you speak well in front of the monarch." Zong Jiming covered Guan Yiyi's ears, these bad words couldn't fall on Yiyi's ears.
Guan Yiyi raised her head blankly, just now she was still studying the climate problem of the Northern Jin Dynasty, but when she heard the invasion of the Western Jin Dynasty, the general on the other side seemed to be very happy and kept laughing.
"Are they so happy that the Western Jin Dynasty invaded them?" Guan Yiyi looked at Zong Jiming's eyes one by one, a little puzzled.
"It's okay, when the time comes, they beg us and we don't want to help them."
"Why?"
"Because they...... Because they're ugly. ”
Two people opposite
“……?” Although he is full of scum, he is also a bloody man, and I don't know how many girls in the city love him, is he ugly?
“……?” As the monarch of a country, wherever he goes, there are girls who throw silk flowers at him, is he ugly?
“……?” But aren't you on the same level as Ye Qiuhong?
……
On the way back, Guan Yiyi sat in the carriage with a pot of lotus petal orchid, followed by a carriage pulling goods, and there were several pots of bright red rhododendrons in it, which were dug out by Zong Jiming himself, and when he dug it, he also promised that he would plan the time when he went out in the future, and he would not be in such a hurry as this time.
Playing with the lotus petal orchid in his hand, thinking that Ye Qiuhong was dissatisfied with the loss to Zong Jiming at that time, and wanted to bet with him again, if Ye Qiuhong won, he would leave Guan Yiyi one by one, and if Zong Jiming won, he would take the pot of lotus petal orchid away.
Such a loss-making transaction Zong is naturally not going to do it, not to mention that Guan Yiyi is his treasure, and he can't get it in exchange for any amount of money.
"If you really want to win me, I'll play with you, but you can't bet one by one, if you win, I'll give you back what I originally had, and if you lose, give me the orchid."
Ye Qiuhong decided that he would definitely not lose, and later, the lotus petal orchid fell into Guan Yiyi's hands.
"What the hell are you playing, why does Ye Qiuhong always lose to you." Guan Yiyi was very curious.
Zong Jiming, who was sitting on the side, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and when he heard Guan Yiyi asking him, he said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a little game I played with my eldest brother since I was a child, you know, my eldest brother doesn't like to laugh since he was a child, just like you, I always follow his example, compete with him, and win all the purses on the waists of those sons and brothers in Qingcheng while playing." ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that."
"Ye Qiuhong is really stupid, why don't we have a game?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes? A round? ”
"Let's go."
……
"Don't play, I'll play with my eldest brother for the second half of the day, play with you, I can't laugh all day, how tired, come, laugh, laugh and have a reward."
Zong Jiming rubbed the corners of his stiff mouth, it was strange that he hadn't changed his expression for so long.
"Hush."
“…… Na, the peaches that I snatched from Ye Qiuhong. ”
With a palm-sized peach, Guan Yiyi finally smiled......
"That Ye Qiuhong is really low-key enough, no one knows Lansheng Valley, it's a pity, how good it is to come to the Northern Jin Dynasty to settle accounts for me."
"His ministers are good at knowing."
"It's also ......"
