Vegetables grow fast and can be harvested in the rest of the month.

The first time he ate something he had grown, Yuan Ziqing felt that it was particularly sweet. The others were also quite enthusiastic, and all the dishes on the table were eaten. Even Qu Kuan is no exception, and the chopsticks move very fast.

After eating, there was even better news, Qu Kuan announced that Yuan Ziqing's body had completely recovered. Although the vitality is still slightly insufficient, in the future, as long as you eat the recuperation recipe normally.

In other words, they can go back to Beijing.

Although the time here was very pleasant, everyone was very happy to be able to return to Beijing.

"It's thanks to Uncle Shi that we are today." He raised his glass and said, "I'll give you a glass first, and I will remember this kindness." ”

"What is not gracious? Girl, you forgot, you paid for it. Qu Kuan waved his hand absently, "But this glass of wine still needs to be eaten." It's also a goodbye. ”

"Goodbye?" Mei Pan was taken aback, "Uncle Shi, are you leaving?" ”

"It's not me leaving, it's you leaving." Qu Kuan said, "What is your identity, it is impossible to stay here forever." Now that you've been cured, let's go back early! ”

Meibian and Yuan Ziqing glanced at each other, and the joy on their faces faded slightly.

"Uncle Shi," said Meibian, "We have already discussed, if Uncle Shi does not dislike it, I want to ask Uncle Shi to go to the capital with us to retire." ”

Qu Kuan said, "Who said not to dislike it?" I hate it! The water and soil in the capital do not support people, and I will be itchy after living for three or five days, and I will not go if I don't go! ”

"Uncle Shi......" Mei Pan and Yuan Ziqing were a little stunned. They had discussed it more than once before, and they felt that the possibility of inviting Qu Kuan over was very high. After all, getting along during this time is also a pleasant experience. But I didn't expect Qu Kuan to refuse so directly.

He was about to speak, but was stopped by Yuan Ziqing, "That's it, if Uncle Shi doesn't want to go, we as juniors don't dare to force it." I just hope that Uncle Shi can go to the capital to see us when he is free. The gate of King Fu's Mansion can be found as long as you ask casually. ”

Qu Kuan said perfunctorily, "Let's talk about it again." ”

There was still some unwillingness on the side of his eyebrows, "Uncle Shi lives here alone, and we don't feel at ease." Even if you don't want to go to the capital, you may be able to choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers near the capital. By the way, I also have a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, which is bigger than here. If Uncle Shi wants to go, he can live there. ”

Qu Kuan shook his head, "It's not good, it's not good, I'm an old bone, I don't want to toss, so I'll retire here." You don't have to worry about me. ”

Still wanting to speak, Yuan Ziqing shook his head slightly at her, "Then I will also salute Uncle Shi with a cup, the grace of saving lives, toothless and unforgettable." If Uncle Shi is sent in the future, just send someone to me. ”

Qu Kuan's words are obviously pretexts, he doesn't want to go to the capital, I'm afraid there is some hidden meaning. In this case, it is naturally difficult to force it.

And the matter of returning to Beijing is gradually on the agenda. Nowadays, the people in Zhuangzi are talking about returning to Beijing. For a while, the meaning of parting was fully revealed.

Meipan finally decided to give this Zhuangzi to Qu Kuan for retirement. Qu Kuan didn't refuse, but he didn't accept the title deed, only said that it was not bad here, and it was good to come and live when he was free, and by the way, he could take a look at Zhuangzi for Meibian, but it was useless for him to ask for these things.

So pack up and say goodbye to Qu Kuan, and they are about to leave.

In Xijing, I spent half a year leisurely, almost completely isolated from the outside world. After all, Yuan Ziqing should be quiet when he is recuperating, and he will not go out alone by Meibian. So it wasn't until this time that they received a lot of news from outside.

-- After all, Xijing is the capital of Liu, and he is very concerned about the news of the capital and the DPRK.

The first major event, the war of the imperial court in the west did not go well, and the main force of the other side in and outside the city was stalemate for a whole winter, and the other side had to retreat to the grassland in the recent spring. But Da Chu's side can't just relax because of this. After all, the opponent's main force is not damaged, and the grassland troops are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, but if there is negligence, maybe the opponent will take advantage of the situation to open the gap, and then drive straight into the Central Plains.

So for the time being, those armies still need to be stationed on the border in order to deter the steppe tribes. There was nothing wrong with that, as it had been before. But now that the treasury is empty, the grain and grass for the previous wars have been temporarily raised, which has almost exhausted the foundation of the imperial court, and now it is a little difficult to support the army to fight.

The second major event, after the spring, the Queen Mother was sick, it is said that it is not a serious illness, but it has been lingering on the sickbed, but it just can't get better.

Although this matter is not as important as the previous one, it is very important to Fuwangfu and Yuan Ziqing. After all, the Queen Mother has always been close to them, so she naturally has to worry when she is sick.

And there is also a rather hidden worry: the emperor is the emperor after all, who knows what he thinks of these brothers? The Fu Wangfu has enjoyed the blessings for so many years, the scenery is infinite, and the prestige is also outstanding, although there is no threat for a while, but who knows if the emperor will be taboo?

But with the two women of the Queen Mother and the Concubine circling around, no matter what happens, they can be persuaded to come down, and the relationship between the brothers of the monarch and the minister is of course very harmonious. But if something happens to the Queen Mother, the problem will be very different.

First of all, the natural reason for the concubine and Princess Fu to enter the palace to ask the queen mother for peace has disappeared, and the relationship between Princess Fu and the queen is not very close, and it is bound to be estranged from the palace in the future. The distance is far away, and other problems arise of course. It is very difficult to say whether the emperor will trust his father so much in the future.

Except for these two things, everything else is a trivial matter, nothing more than any personnel changes in Beijing, or any new tricks, which are not in the consideration of Meibian and Yuan Ziqing. There is a small thing that makes people laugh: the second son of King Fu's Mansion was grounded by King Fu for some reason. But that was last winter.

After Yuan Ziqing knew about the Queen Mother's illness, he deliberately went to talk to Qu Kuan secretly. Later, Meibian asked him what he said, and he said that he planned to invite Qu Kuan to see the Queen Mother.

Of course, Qu Kuan refused, but Yuan Ziqing's goal was not this. When you want someone to agree to a request that he doesn't really want to agree to, first make a request that he will never agree to, and then mention the one he doesn't want to agree to after being rejected. Because he has already rejected once, it is inconvenient to refuse a second time in a short time, and it is very likely that he will agree.

So Yuan Ziqing successfully persuaded Qu Kuan, and after he returned to Beijing, he would order someone to send a copy of the Queen Mother's pulse case and ask him to check it. A miracle doctor like Qu Kuan, even if he can't see the patient, but with the pulse, he has a □□ point of certainty. After all, it's not a fatal illness.

"You used to always go toe-to-toe with Uncle Shi, and I thought you didn't like him." is willing to ask for help, if it is not a good enough relationship, Yuan Ziqing may not be able to do it.

After all, the Queen Mother is really not in a hurry to do that, even if the imperial doctors are worse than Qu Kuan, they also have real skills.

Yuan Ziqing shook his head and smiled, "This is the friendship between men, you don't understand." "Sometimes it's not necessarily the enemy. Moreover...... Yuan Ziqing said in his heart, I am afraid that there is only one person in this world who can go toe-to-toe with him.

When they were ready, they bought a boat and returned to Beijing. -- The boat they took when they came was from the Zhou family, and they went back when they got here, so they had to hire a new boat. Xijing and the capital come and go frequently, which is not a difficult thing. There was a merchant ship that offered to give them two ships.

The way back is naturally more interesting than when you came. It was autumn at first, and now it's spring, and the scenery along the road is very different. Second, people's moods are different.

At that time, Yuan Ziqing was still sick, they were going to seek medical treatment, whether they could find someone, whether they could be cured, it was unknown, even if they could relax occasionally, they always pressed this matter in their hearts, how could they be happy?

Now it's different, Yuan Ziqing's body has completely recovered, although he still needs to take medicine to consolidate, but his appearance is completely invisible. A good body is naturally in a good mood, and no matter how ordinary the scenery is, in their eyes, it is all good.

Moreover, there are lovers in the same boat.

When he was in Zhuangzi, Yuan Ziqing was most dissatisfied with Qu Kuan, with him as an "elder", his eyebrows were much more restrained, and he had to recuperate, so the two were almost never close.

As an engaged unmarried couple, and a young man and woman with strong blood, the beloved is right in front of them, but they can't touch it, which is naturally unpleasant. Now that there is less nosy Qukuan, and the scenery on the ship is different, as long as they retreat, the two of them will have nothing to restrain themselves.

Cough...... It is not appropriate to say that there is nothing to restrain after all, after all, he is not married, even if Yuan Ziqing is uncomfortable in his heart, he still respects his eyebrows very much, except for kissing and hugging, there is no other action at present.

But for Yuan Ziqing, it is enough to make his body and mind feel good.

After all, even if he just holds the hand on his eyebrows, for him, it is something that can make his heart happy for a long time.

Of course, more time, the two just sit and chat, or discuss daily trivial matters, or talk about the news in the capital, or read a book together, and skim the works...... When two people are together, there seems to be an endless number of things to do.

As expected by the eyebrows, in the long relationship, the atmosphere of sparks between the two people gradually dissolved a lot, and it became such a bland relationship. But the feelings in the hearts of the two people have not only not diminished, but have become more and more detailed.

It is a kind of relationship that can carve its own traces on each other, because in the long-term relationship, it is not only tacit understanding that is cultivated, but also habits.

For example, Yuan Ziqing's taste has changed a lot now, and it is more and more similar to Meibian. For example, most of the books that Meibian is reading now are also of interest to Yuan Ziqing. For example, Meibian learned to drink tea and taste tea with Yuan Ziqing, and Yuan Ziqing actually knew how many embroidery methods there were for female red, and the patterns drawn were even more exquisite, and the layout and composition were breathtaking......

Life, isn't that what it is?
