Song Henghuan and Tang Yun were making all kinds of preparations, while Song Chen went to the house over there to find Su Miao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

is still about the auspicious day of marriage, although Song Chen feels that he can be the master to set the date, and he believes that Miaomiao will not have any complaints about it, but after setting the date, he still has to tell her as soon as possible. Otherwise, if she investigates it on a whim in the future, then things will not be so good.

Song Chen said to Su Miao like this: "Miaomiao, today our father received a reply from the master, there are seven days to choose, I chose the eighteenth day of the first month, what do you think?" ”

"Yes!" Su Miao calculated it and found that there was still plenty of time.

"That's right, it is said that there is a dowry and some other rules to be carried out before getting married, so my father has already written to Master, and Master and Grandpa should come over in a few days!" Song Chen saw that Su Miao didn't seem to realize that in addition to welcoming and worshipping on the day of marriage, there were other etiquette rules before that, so he reminded her.

"Master, they came here so early?" Su Miao really didn't know, "I've heard about the dowry, it seems that there was this thing when Liufu got married before, but are there any other rules?" Speaking of which, at that time, almost all of the preparations for Liufu's marriage were arranged by Lin Jiu, and Su Miao and the others sometimes heard some progress, but they didn't do any in-depth research at all, and it was normal to not know.

"I think we should discuss the list of banquets, dowry and dowry!" Really, Song Chen actually doesn't know very well, but anyway, there are so many elders in the family, if there is anything that needs his special attention at that time, the elders should remind him, right?

"Oh!" Su Miao really didn't have any interest in this, but she was still very happy that Master and Master Mother came over, "Then I have to prepare some delicious food for Master and Master Mother!" Why don't we go to Zhuangzi in a few days? "Song Chen raised a lot of fish in the Zhuangzi on Yanyuan Mountain, and also raised a lot of running pheasants in the circle, when he went before, Su Miao also noticed that there were several very tall wild chestnut trees at the junction between the house and the orchard in the Zhuangzi, and the forests in the north matured later than those in the south, but by this time they should have matured, but I don't know if they have been picked. She wants to see it, and if she can pick some back, she can make a lot of dishes! At this time, the chestnuts are the best time, not only stewed chicken or stewed meat, but also can be made into soup and stewed soup, in addition, you can also make sugar fried chestnuts, chestnut cake, chestnut crisp, etc., or simply eat raw is also sweet and crispy.

Thinking of this, Su Miao couldn't help but regret a little: "I knew that I told the people on Zhuangzi's side in advance, and all the things were left after they were picked, I don't know if they would have sold them at this time......

"We'll find out tomorrow when we go over and see." Although Song Chen has the ability to never forget, he doesn't know what the chestnut tree looks like, so he doesn't know where the trees Su Miao said are, but he didn't see any chestnuts in the Jingwang Mansion and the Huanwang Mansion, which means that there is a great chance that the chestnuts have not been picked in the Zhuangzi, otherwise, according to the rules, even if some of those chestnuts are sent to the palace to taste them. But even so, it was impossible to avoid the possibility that the chestnuts were picked before they returned, so he didn't say anything to death.

"Good! Xiaobai and Xiaolan have been back for several days and haven't been out, so they just took them to Zhuangzi to play! "Xiao Bai and Xiao Lan have been in the house for a few days, Bai Ling and Bai Long took the little fox Su Miao and didn't let them tease them, so they had to come over to Su Miao to play and ask for food. Su Miao was also very idle when she stayed at the house for the past two days. If you take them out to have fun tomorrow, they should be able to relax for a few days. Thinking of this, Su Miao said, "Why don't we stay there for a few more days?" Anyway, the matter of our house has been handed over to Brother Lin, and there is nothing else to do for the time being. ”

"I think so." Song Chen is also a little unaccustomed to living in the palace of the king of Huan in the past few days, if he goes to Zhuangzi, if he lives in that walled house, he doesn't need to go to another courtyard to see Su Miao, he can see it when he goes out, not to mention that if he wants to see him like now, he has to go out and ride a horse.

"Do you want to call your father and mother? And Song Yi them? Su Miao thought that she had been back for a few days, except for a trip to Jingwang's Mansion to greet the two old people, she had not had any contact with other people, don't go to Yun Yuan and Liu Mengyao and they blamed her for ignoring people, and there is also one of the most difficult Song Yan! It seems that after returning from Zhuangzi, I still have to hand them posts.

"Don't you need it? Father and mother are not free for the time being, so they have to arrange for someone to prepare the yard where their grandfather lives, and they have to go to their grandfather's side to discuss things. As for Song Yi's words, Song Chen thought for a while, "Song Yi should go to study, and he has no free time." ”

In the past two years, the girls in Jingwang's Mansion have married out one after another, and now as a woman, they are not as free as when they were still in Jingwangfu, so Su Miao has no intention of inviting them: "In this case, then let's go first!" When the chestnuts are picked and brought back, they will send them some. Those chestnut trees are luxuriant, it seems that they have been growing for hundreds of years, and the last time she saw them, she also sprinkled them with some "fertile soil" that can increase the vitality of the trees.

Song Chen didn't want to go with the others, but when he heard Su Miao's words, he naturally agreed.

Early the next morning, Song Chen led Daxue and Xiaoxue over to find Su Miao. Now the two of them live in the Lin Mansion and the Huanwang Mansion respectively, and for the sake of convenience, the two horses that have been staying together since childhood have to be separated. As soon as Su Miao pulled Xiaoxue to appear, the two horses that had not seen each other for several days got tired of being together. Either you spray me with a snort, or I hit your forehead, and you and I play with each other along the way, and the road is not easy to walk. Seeing that Su Miao couldn't help it, she tapped Xiaoxue's head with the jade flute in her hand: "Walk well!" After a while, you will be tired of being in the Zhuangzi! ”

The two horses each snorted and ran honestly.

Xiaobai had already run in front with Xiaolan, and ran directly into the Zhuangzi familiarly.

The people in Zhuangzi were all impressed by Xiaobai, and when they saw it appear, they knew that Song Chen and Su Miao were coming over. So as soon as Song Chen and Su Miao entered the door of Zhuangzi, they saw the surprised steward Ma Dong greet him with a few people: "Lord Wang, Miss Su, are you back?" ”

Speaking of which, Song Chen has been awarded the title of prince for a while, but except for having an independent mansion that makes him feel a little different from before, he still feels that there is no difference from before in other aspects. But since he returned to Selangor City, he realized this difference from the way everyone called him. In the past, when he was outside, others politely called him "Little Prince Song" was actually just a false name, and the titles of the subordinates in King Jing's Mansion were all Song Gongzi or Fifth Prince, but this time when he came back, these people's titles for him became "Wang Ye" or "Little Wangye". In fact, in Song Chen's heart, he still doesn't pay much attention to the title of this prince, and even his liking for that palace is not because of the mansion itself, but because the house can give him a clear and righteous reason to move out, only he and Su Miao live together. In this way, you don't have to work hard to get up early every day and save money in the morning and dusk.

But from the names of these subordinates, it can be seen that they are sincerely happy. Although Song Chen is not mixed with officialdom, with his cleverness, he can understand the reason after a little careful thinking - the reason why he and Su Miao don't have any special feelings is because he and Su Miao have been recognized and respected by virtue of their martial arts and talents before, so they don't need the blessing of this prince's identity at all. But their subordinates are different, for example, the subordinates in this Zhuangzi, after Zhuangzi was rewarded by Song Hengyuan, these are all people who follow him Song Chen. The identity and status of the master have been improved, although they may not be able to get any benefits directly, but outside of Zhuangzi, when they go out to do errands, their identity has changed from a person in the Zhuangzi of Song Gongzi to a person in the Zhuangzi of the Chenwang Mansion. In other words, they are more convenient and able to straighten their backs than before.

As long as they don't go out to bully people in his name, Song Chen doesn't mind the honor of these people at all. However, this also reminded him that he would remind Lin Yuncong another day to let him pay more attention to avoid this situation.

After Ma Dong and the others met the ceremony, the first thing Su Miao did was to go straight to the chestnut trees. Ma Dong followed behind a little inexplicably, and when he saw Su Miaofei on the tree, he suddenly realized: "It's strange to say, these old chestnut trees don't know if it's because they're too old, they can't bear a few fruits every year before, and because they grow too tall, they can't hit if they want to, so they can only wait until the shell cracks after they are ripe, and the chestnuts will naturally fall down." I don't know what's going on this year, but each tree is full of trees, but it seems to mature later than other trees. I'm getting ready to find someone to beat chestnuts these two days. ”

While Ma Dong was talking, Su Miao had already chosen an opening in the tree and hit it with the jade flute, Song Chen originally wanted to pick it up, but Xiaobai was bored and planned to find something to do, and when he saw something falling, he quickly ran over and grabbed it.

Su Miao looked at the tree for a while, and said to Song Chen: "There are already a lot of ripe chestnuts, and you can directly knock chestnuts ......" As she spoke, she knocked a few more with Fanyu.

Song Chen saw Su Miao's move of treating the jade flute as a short stick, and he laughed in his heart: "Miaomiao, don't fight yet!" Wait for the master to see you use Brahma feather like this, I don't know how to punish you! He reached out and took the chestnut that Xiaobai had brought over, and when he pinched the shell with some strength, he opened it, and when he peeled it off, it was bright and full, and it was indeed fully ripe.

Song Chen turned his head and instructed Ma Dong to prepare a few bamboo poles for beating chestnuts and arranged for some people to bring bamboo baskets to pick up chestnuts, and then stretched out his hand and beckoned: "Come down first and taste the fresh chestnuts you said!" It's not too late to fight later. ”

Su Miaofang only beat five or six chestnuts in those two strokes, and after she and Song Chen tasted one each, the rest were fed to the two foodies Xiao Bai and Xiao Lan who were bouncing around the side.

"Well, it's the first time I've eaten fresh raw like this!" Song Chen nodded and praised, "It's really crispy and sweet!" ”

There are a total of five chestnut trees in Zhuangzi, all of which are almost ripe, after Ma Dong brought people over, they didn't have to climb the tree hard to knock, Su Miao and Song Chenfei got on the tree, they didn't need to look for it carefully, they only used bamboo poles to knock on the east and west, and after beating for a while, the ground was already covered with a thick layer. They didn't use much force, just enough to make the ripe chestnuts fall down, and the burr shells were still left on the trees. After beating like this for a while, when there was no longer anything on the tree and falling down, Su Miao and Song Chen clapped their hands and went back to rest, and then let the others slowly clean up the chestnuts on the ground.

After two days of beating like this, about ninety percent of the chestnuts of the five trees fell, and the rest were some that had not yet opened, and then they were allowed to ripen and then fall down. Even so, the chestnuts that have been beaten are thousands of pounds. Su Miao roughly calculated, in addition to sending it to King Jing's Mansion and giving it to Yun Yuan, there were more than 300 catties left in the end! Half of the more than 300 catties were put on the side of the Lin Mansion, and on the other hand, they were put on the side of the Huanwang Mansion.

After beating the chestnuts, Song Chen and Su Miao went home, and the chestnuts were sent to Ma Dong directly according to the list that Song Chen planned to give him.

Su Miao came back with twenty catties first, planning to make some sugar-fried chestnuts for Song Chen and them to eat first, and the two of them discussed where they had eaten the best sugar-fried chestnuts as they entered the door, Su Miao felt that the kind of lighter ones she had eaten in Jianlan City before was just right, and Song Chen felt that the slightly sweeter ones she had eaten in Shenlan City were more suitable for his taste......

"What are you holding? What is sweet and not sweet? ”

Song Chen and Su Miao discussed for a long time, and when they were talking about how it was better to make half of it into the flavor of Gladiolus City and half of it to the flavor of Snow Orchid City, a voice suddenly asked.

Su Miao jumped up as soon as she heard the voice: "Master? ”

Isn't it Xiao Jingyu? She looked at the cloth bag in Song Chen's hand curiously as she walked over: "Did you know that your master and I were coming, so you went to catch the snake?" So much? ”

“…… It's chestnuts. Song Chen put down the cloth bag and opened it to Xiao Jingyu.

"Master, why did you arrive so quickly?" Su Miao asked Lin Jin, who was following Xiao Jingyu, in surprise. This carrier pigeon has only been released for two days, and it is said that it has not yet arrived at Tairu Villa, and she thinks that it will take at least seven or eight days!
