Chapter 39: Zhang Qian

At some point, the brilliant sunset dyed half of the sky red. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The green bamboo leaves stretch with the wind, blurred in the dazzling light. A bowl of lotus flowers against the wall is in full bloom, clear and fragrant. Sifu was sitting on the steps and was teaching the two little yellow doors to serve the flowers and plants, when he heard a sharp and familiar voice from a distance raise his voice: "Your Majesty returns to the palace." ”

The three of them didn't care anymore, and bowed down on the steps. After a while, I heard footsteps from far and near.

When I arrived at Sifu, my footsteps paused, and I seemed to have enjoyed a bowl of lotus, and the person who came was wearing a pair of green silk coil dragon shoes and thought it was Your Majesty. He looked at it for a while and asked Sifu with a smile: "What about the disciples here?" ”

Sifu replied respectfully, and His Majesty's tone was very cheerful: "Okay, the queen likes these bowl lotuses very much." Chuntuo, reward him. With that, he left, leaving Chuntuo with a string of five baht coins to reward Sifu.

Chun Tuonu smiled after signaling Sifu to take it, and sighed with envy. Still didn't say anything, and hurried to catch up with His Majesty.

Leaving two small yellow doors around Sifu is envy and worship, although the master is loyal and will not drill the camp, but by serving the flowers and plants in the Niangniang Palace, he has to get several rewards every year. Even Your Majesty, I often asked the master a few words.

Among the two apprentices, the one with beautiful eyebrows is named Yang He, and he happily said to another small yellow door in private: "It's good to be in the queen's palace, and the mother is generous." We just need to follow the master to learn to serve the flowers and plants, I don't know how many people envy it. ”

Sifu is not very old, it is rare to be so favored in the queen's palace, even His Majesty has a face in front of him, Chuntuo is even more affectionate with him, but he has always been calm and does not deceive people in the name of the queen, just serve the flowers and plants well, and take the monthly money saved out of the palace to his parents.

In the face of the envy and pride of the two little apprentices, he just solemnized his face and told them again not to be spoiled and make trouble for his mother outside.

After finishing, looking at the figure that His Majesty had long disappeared from the hall, he couldn't help but think, His Majesty was brisk and in a good mood today.

Liu Che is really in a good mood today, and he posted the imperial list for a few days and asked Langguan Zhang Ziwen to reveal it. He announced that he met Zhang Ziwen today, he is neither humble nor arrogant, open-minded, and a person who can achieve great things. The Xiongnu Ganfu even asked himself to act as a guide, and he was also worried that the east and west of the Green Ridge were directly or indirectly controlled by the Xiongnu, and the future was unknown, and the road was difficult and dangerous, but now with the guidance of the Xiongnu, he was also much more relieved.

The East Palace has also been reported to the Empress Dowager early, and the Empress Dowager has always been willing to follow her grandson in this kind of matter as long as it is not involved in the dispute between Confucianism and Huang Lao. Without further ado, he had given Zhang Ziwen the exclusive right to select the elite in the Yulin Army, and prepared to pack his bags and set off soon.

He entered the inner hall without turning around, and Gillian heard the report and greeted him. He took her hand and walked to the couch and asked her, "How are you today?" ”

Gillian said softly: "Okay, Your Majesty has changed your clothes, right?" How hot it is. ”

She didn't say that it was okay, but when she said it, she only felt that the sweat along the way came out again. Liu Che got up immediately, and the people in the room all moved at once, those who took clothes and hot water, those who took shoes and socks, and those who took tea.

He straightened out his hand and asked Gillian to serve and change clothes, and suddenly glanced at the iceberg in the room. It's a little funny and a little angry, yesterday the iceberg was still in the temple, and today it is about to move to the front of the bed. It's a little hot this year, but how can a woman's family blow such a cold wind?

After changing clothes, washing your face and rinsing your mouth, dinner was already on the table in the nave. Before Liu Che went out, he pointed to the iceberg and said to the begonia, "Move back." Then, without waiting for Gillian to speak, he took her hand and went out of the hall.

When he finished dinner and came to Gillian's calligraphy class as usual, Liu Che taught Gillian by teaching calligraphy: "You can do what the proportion of this character should be, and you have to pay attention to writing." You can't just think about it because you feel comfortable. ”

Gillian hung her head and didn't dare to tell the difference, obviously she wrote according to what he said, and now she was obviously talking about the iceberg. Since the last nightmare, Liu Che always suspected that she had some hidden disease in her body that caused her infertility, but she couldn't see why she had to give up. On weekdays, she refuses to let her eat cold food and call her Gong Han.

It's also for her good, and Gillian can't argue.

It was easy to get rid of Liu Che's calligraphy teaching, and as soon as she entered the inner hall, Gillian quickly asked Begonia to serve her in the bath.

When she came out, Liu Che was standing in front of her newly hung calligraphy and painting, which was the gale song written by Liu Che a few days ago. He has a somewhat dark complexion because of his perennial horseback riding, but it adds a bit of heroism to his eyebrows. Hearing Gillian come out, he turned around and pointed to the calligraphy and painting and laughed: "When did you hang it up?" I just came in and didn't even notice it. ”

Gillian saw that he was in a very happy mood, and he was no longer in a complicated mood when he wrote the song of the wind last time, so she stepped forward and said with a smile: "I only sent it in the afternoon." ”

He pulled her to sit on the couch and whispered the next sentence that was not finished: "Ande warriors guard the Quartet." His slender fingers unconsciously tapped the couch, but his face was full of joy: "Jiaojiao still remember the trip to the Western Regions mentioned a few days ago?" Someone has unveiled the list today, and I have already ordered them to get ready to get up and leave soon. ”

Zhang Qian!

Gillian also became excited, she hugged Liu Che and asked. At first, I was still strange, Zhang Ziwen? After thinking about it for a while, I figured out that the ancients liked to call people sons, and Zhang Qian should be a character.

Happiness needs to be shared, and it needs to be rendered.

Liu Che and Gillian were still unsatisfied when they talked about it late this night, and when they got up the next day, Gillian was still sleeping soundly. Liu Che looked at her and smiled. Gillian, whether she really understands his ambitions or not, but she is always sincerely happy for him. She and him are husband and wife, and they are close friends and confidants.

The queen mother said that he was doing too much, and the grandmother thought that she was coaxing him to play. Only in Jiaojiao's heart, he has been an omnipotent hero since he was a few years old.

He made a mouth gesture and signaled to go to the side hall to dress and wash so as not to disturb Gillian.

When Gillian got up and finished breakfast, she heard the emperor's instructions when she left from Yulan's mouth, telling her to move to Qingliang Hall today.

Qingliang Palace, located in the north of Weiyang Palace, the palace of the emperor's summer residence. Qingliang Hall takes the painting stone as the bed, sets up the Ziyao tent, and the palace is still very cool in the middle of summer, like frost.

However, since Gillian entered the palace, Liu Che has lived with her, and Ganquan Palace is regarded as the emperor's bedroom, but he has not been to it once since he ascended the throne.

So it's not to move Gillian alone, it's the emperor who moves with her.

The Qingliang Hall has already been cleaned up since the beginning of summer, and Gillian only needs to go over. As for the furniture that jewelry and clothes are used to, the palace people have to clean up, I heard that the Qingliang Palace is as its name, and after breakfast, Gillian took the begonia magnolia over, and asked the bauhinia wooden pen to watch the palace people move things.

The mother is gone. Sifu is naturally going to follow the past. He and his two little apprentices moved the bowl lotus one by one, and they were busy all morning before they settled down.

The liveliness of people coming and going in the palace like moving the hall will be known all over the palace in the afternoon. It's not a big deal, and it's not a matter of all the above. And no one cares. Naturally, it spread to the Guangming Palace, where the concubine was being chosen.

After the Mingguang Palace was eliminated layer by layer, everyone was strangely good-looking, but it was brushed down and went to be a palace maid as usual. The appearance is generally honest, but he stayed, but no matter how honest he is, like the queen mother, she was also favored by her docile temperament back then, and later she also won the favor of the heir?

What's more, these palace maids who serve people every day, who doesn't envy the glory and wealth? Don't want to fly up the branches all at once? Niangniang didn't come out for three years, and began to choose people in the palace, so that everyone almost saw the shadow of the thin queen.

When I heard that the queen had moved to Qingliang Palace, even Li Niangniang was not so favored when she was there. What's more, the queen is the queen of the Yuan, so that those palace maids who are thinking about the future will be able to rely on their mothers and children to cool down again.

Qingliang Palace, the summer residence is cool, and it is also called Yanqing Room. The Book of Han says that it is "the Qing Dynasty is in the middle of the Xia Han, that is, this is also." "Take the painted stone as the bed, and the purple jade plate under the purple glazed tent. The couch is covered with a non-deuce mat, and the thin silk fabric contains ambergris, which is cool. Not to mention the ice silk weaving, which can be covered with cold ice silk in summer.

What is rare is that it is all naturally formed, and it is not as cold as an iceberg.

As the name suggests, the hall is cool and pleasant. At once, Gillian was called to have a bitter summer love that disappeared, and she stepped back to early spring in one step. Gillian praised the wisdom of the ancients in her heart, this is simply a Chinese version of an air-conditioned room, don't be more comfortable.

What's a fun thing to do in summer? Blowing the air conditioner cover quilt is natural, and it would be even better if you added skewers. Think of grilled oily spicy lamb skewers and beef skewers, accompanied by some cold drinks. Gillian couldn't help it now, looked at the time and converted it into the 24-hour clock she was familiar with in her heart, it was only three o'clock, and it was too late.

She called Haitang to Shaofu and instructed: "Wash the beef and mutton with roasted meat for dinner, and cut it into large thin slices." Use star anise, fennel, peppercorn noodles and honey to simmer for a while and skewer them on bamboo skewers, and then send them over, telling Magnolia to prepare freshly burned chaff ash. ”

When the time comes, turn the top and bottom sides and grill until the meat fat drips into the fire and the fragrance overflows. Although there is no chili pepper now, this is only available in the Ming Dynasty, and what about the pepper, you have to count on Zhang Qian to come back, so you can only put more pepper noodles is that.

Haitang couldn't help but persuade her: "Beef and mutton are just right to eat in winter, and dry in hot days." With some soup, cakes or something, what if Your Majesty doesn't like to use it? ”

When she said it, she just thought she was happy. Gillian thought for a while: "Then add cabbage and tofu soup, steamed eggplant salad, and baked crispies, and you can watch and make up for the rest." ”

As a result, Gillian was surprised that when Liu Che arrived at dinner, in addition to the surprise of eating hot meat in summer at the beginning, he was not interested in a table of meat and vegetarian cold dishes that Begonia added to him, and he was full of interest and ate hot meat with her. The two of them put aside the people they served, and they ate happily on their upper bodies.

After eating, he used two bowls of milk-white crucian carp soup, and Liu Che felt that he had eaten it. Full of warm thoughts, this time the consumption was changed to the couch, and Gillian, who escaped from practicing calligraphy, didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

Slowly, her consciousness blurred, and she could only moan unconsciously with Liu Che's ups and downs.
