Indeed, as Qu Tianlin calculated, Rong Xuan and Qi Yun took a big boat all the way, and finally returned to the imperial capital the day before the winter solstice. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After returning to the imperial capital, Qi Yun and Rong Xuan entered the palace together to face the saint, and the two told Emperor Yuan Kang what happened in Tianjian Villa.

"Two million taels of gold!" Emperor Yuan Kangdi smiled coldly, "Her Yang family first tried to win over the forces of the rivers and lakes, and then wanted to control the four major trading houses, this woman's appetite is quite big." ”

"Father. Qi Yun thought that Concubine Li and the Yang family could not be allowed to go on like this. Qi Yun said: "This time, if it weren't for Qi Yun asking Yan Qing to ask a few Wei Tingsi who were handling the case in Shu to come over quickly, I am afraid that the martial arts alliance master would really put the people of the four major trading houses under house arrest in his Heavenly Sword Villa." ”

However, Emperor Yuan Kang said: "Concubine Li and the Yang family can't move for the time being. ”

He also thought about using Concubine Li to compete with the concubine and concubine.

If he moves Concubine Li and the Yang family now, then the power of the DPRK and China will inevitably be re-divided by the two maiden families of Concubine Guifei and Concubine Shu.

However, it will be a little difficult for him to deal with these two.

"However, Father ......" Qi Yun wanted to say something, but Rong Xuan beside her pulled her sleeve and stopped her.

Qi Yun turned his head to look at Rong Xuan, and when he saw him shaking his head at himself, he stopped talking.

When the two of them left the palace in the carriage, Qi Yun asked Rong Xuan, "Why did you stop me from admonishing my father just now?" ”

Rong Xuan couldn't help but analyze the current form in the court: "Your Majesty has not moved Concubine Li and the Yang family, naturally he wants to use her to suppress the Wu family where the concubine is located and the Zhang family where the concubine is located." Similarly, now that Concubine Li has instructed her mother's family to stretch out their hands to the rivers and lakes and to the four major trading houses, the Wu and Zhang families are bound to get the news, but even if Your Majesty doesn't make a move, the Wu and Zhang families will also take action to stop Concubine Li and the Yang family. ”

Listening to Rong Xuan's analysis, Qi Yun also understood Yuan Kangdi's plan, and knew what he should and not do.

"Send me to Prince Ming's Mansion later, I have to send the special products that Mo'er brought to Crystal and her gifts." Qiyun said.

Rong Xuan nodded, and then said, "I'll go with you too, just go to say hello to the third uncle and the third uncle." ”

"It's fine." Qiyun nodded.

……

The winter solstice represents the arrival of real winter, so it also gets dark very quickly.

Before it was completely dark, the family members of the City Lord's Mansion were already busy holding the lights around.

By the time it was completely dark, Mo'er, Qu Tianlin, Feng Lin, and Xuan Lin had already arrived at Lixiangyuan.

Winter solstice night dinner, to eat as a family, before the reunion.

Today is Mo'er in charge of the spoon herself, Qu Tianlin is in charge, and the two of them make a table of dishes. There are cold salad, cooked food, steamed food, and marinated food.

Everyone gathered around the round table and ate the dishes on this table, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Of course, such an order is naturally indispensable to have some wine to help the fun.

In the traditional customs of the Great Xia Kingdom, if you drink wine during the winter solstice dinner, you should drink winter wine.

This wine is specially made for the night of the winter solstice.

Plum blossoms that have been crushed by snow in the spring, steamed in a steamer basket to form flower dew, and then mixed with steamed glutinous rice into koji, stirring constantly. After the sake has fermented, the large urn of sake brewing is sealed with yellow clay and buried under the plum tree. On the day of the winter solstice, the large urn buried under the plum tree can be dug out.

This kind of winter wine-making degree is not high, even the daughter's family can drink three or four cups.

Moreover, in addition to drinking it directly, you can also mix it with water and put the wrapped glutinous rice balls into it and boil it into wine-stuffed balls.

The taste of this kind of wine-brewed meatballs is somewhat different from that eaten by Mo'er in her previous life, and when you eat it, there is an extra fragrance of plum blossoms.

"Huh." Mrs. Tai scooped a rice ball with a spoon and put it in her mouth, and was suddenly startled. "This dumpling filling is not sesame flavor, it is the taste of rose dew!"

"Grandmother, mine is made of peanut filling." Xuan Lin was also surprised at this time.

Feng Lin smiled gently, "The stuffing I eat is made of sweet potatoes." ”

Looking at everyone's surprised appearance, Qu Tianlin couldn't help but smile and said: "Mo'er thinks that it is too monotonous for us to eat sesame-stuffed rice balls every year, so she thought about making rice balls with five kinds of fillings for everyone." ”

Xuan Lin's temperament was the least calm in this room, and when he heard Qu Tianlin say that there were five kinds of fillings in the rice balls, he couldn't help but want to taste them one by one.

Sweet potato, barbecued pork, sesame seeds, roses, peanuts...... He tasted all five flavors, and his favorite food was naturally the barbecued pork flavor.

Because he likes meat!

"Xuanlin, you have tasted all these five kinds of glutinous rice balls, can you tell what the meaning of these fillings contains?" Qu Tianlin asked him with a smile.

At this time, Xuanlin's mouth was already stuffed with rice balls, and his speech couldn't help but be a little unclear when he spoke: "What kind of filling contains what meaning, isn't this rice ball just for eating!" ”

His answer was straightforward and simple, but it made people speechless.

Mo'er couldn't help but be amused by him.

Feng Lin really couldn't stand it, his greedy appearance couldn't help but answer on his behalf: "The ancients are cloudy, the sky is round." This winter solstice night dinner to eat rice balls, in addition to the meaning of homophonic reunion, but also symbolizes the sky and our five organs. I guess that Mo'er makes these five flavors of fillings, which should mean that heaven and earth contain all things, and the five internal organs control the body...... It means that after eating these five-stuffed rice balls, everyone can be healthy every day in the future. ”

"Second brother, you're too powerful!" Xuan Lin's expression was exaggerated, and he deliberately joked with Feng Lin: "Just eating a rice ball, you can think of such a complex meaning......

How could Feng Lin not know that he was making fun of himself!

He played with his heart, and it was rare to let go of his temperament, which teased Xuanlin, "It's a shame that you are still studying medicine, and you can't even guess these." From tomorrow, I'll have to personally supervise your memorization. ”

On weekdays, when Xuan Lin heard Feng Lin arresting him to read, he would definitely have a headache.

But when he thought of the poison in Qu Tianlin's body now, he couldn't help but nod and say "good".

His abnormal reaction made Feng Linhu suspicious.

But his grandmother was still on the side, so Feng Lin didn't ask Xuan Lin.

After eating the winter solstice dinner, Feng Lin called Xuanlin to sit in his courtyard.

But when he arrived in his courtyard, Xuan Lin was pulled by Feng Lin to Lin Pavilion.

It's still that little kiosk.

Feng Lin asked people to prepare a pot of winter wine, and a few plates of peanuts, braised beef slices and other appetizers...... The two brothers sat on a stone bench covered with brocade mats, drinking and chatting.

"Xuanlin, is something wrong?" Feng Lin lifted the wine jug and the two of them poured wine, but their eyes stared at Xuan Lin's face and asked.

Note: The method of brewing winter wine and the way of eating meatballs with winter wine cooking are all made up by Xuebao according to the needs of the plot, please don't imitate it! (To be continued.) )
