At the beginning of August, Rong'er received the best news that the marriage contract between her and Xia Zhikang was completely dissolved, and the emperor sent the prince to do it in person, and Anping Mansion and Huining Mansion each retrieved the token and marriage letter.

What could be more exciting for her than the news? I was happy for two days, and when I was happy, I cooked myself and made two tables of wine and food for everyone with Qingmei.

The vegetables are fresh vegetables grown by themselves, the meat is the game they hunted separately and the fatty fish caught in the stream, and the wine is the wild fruit wine that Dong Bo and the Wang Qi brothers brewed together when they first entered the valley.

Although Rong'er was also wandering around the kitchen when she was fine, watching Qingmei and Wang Ba cook, talking about cooking, and sometimes making one or two dishes to try her skills, but for two consecutive days, she cooked for everyone, not only did one or two dishes, but made four dishes each time, and asked Dong Bo to take out the wild fruit wine for everyone to drink, and the joy on his face could not be hidden in the past few days, and he turned around and smiled secretly, as if he had encountered a great happy event.

However, it is not easy for everyone to ask in person, and there are some things that the second prince can't know too much.

For lunch, Rong'er went to the medicine field alone to see the snake ginseng, they have grown extremely well in the past few months, because of the snake ginseng medicine, the second prince is getting better than expected. She sat under a tree on the edge of the ground, looking at them and pondering, if she gave some snake ginseng to Mo Li next time, it would also help his mother's illness, right?

Everything is moving faster. Qiao Si, a friend of the letter, left a letter to the Fan family, saying that he had inquired about cracking the Qimen Dunjia, and it was said that there was an old hermit on Shenxiu Peak who was proficient in this technique. I couldn't help but look up at the high Shenzhao Peak. Shenxiu Peak is not the same in a sea of clouds, and it is not easy for ordinary people to go up. Mo Li was going to Fan's house to meet Qiao Si.

Zheng Qianjing was staring at Mo Qian, and said that she only stayed in her hometown for five days, and then took Gou Ruyun to Taidong.

Gou Ruyun's father will not be able to win until next year.

Suddenly, Rong'er had the idea of letting go of Zheng Qianjing, and as soon as she thought about it, she shook her head, thinking about Gou Ruyun's viciousness in the last life, how to be careless? Since she was put in the family prison by Gou Ruyun, I don't know what she has done outside, she can shake her father and brother and promote her family, that mind and heart must not be taken lightly.

Pick up the book you brought out from the ground, take it and flip through it a few times, and you can't concentrate on reading as calmly as you used to. From time to time, there was a flash in front of me, my cheeks were red, and I was thinking about whether I should go out in person in September.

"Aunt Rong." Chun'er and Qingmei came running.

"This is Wang Bagang fried and wild chestnuts", the two came over with a plate of things.

The three of them sat around the tree, eating and talking.

Chun'er said: "Everyone says that my aunt's fried dishes are delicious. Brother Zhongshan was preparing in the kitchen, saying that he would also serve a few dishes tonight. ”

Qingmei looked around and whispered, "Everyone asked me to ask you, but what's the good thing?" Otherwise, you have always been secretly happy alone in the past two days. ”

Wang Ba's fried wild chestnuts are put with some pepper and salt, and they are slightly spicy and salty, and they are delicious to eat. Rong'er ate a few chestnuts before whispering: "I shouldn't have hidden it from everyone, but ......"

"Don't worry, you won't let Qin Feng and Uncle Hao know." Chun'er was so excited that she couldn't guess what it was.

"The matter of the marriage contract..."Rong'er raised her eyebrows, and she wanted to speak.

Chun'er and Qingmei understood, opened their mouths and smiled, "Really? ”

Rong'er nodded solemnly.

"Did it come from a letter from a bird?" Chun'er slipped out of the news that she knew that there was a bird delivering a letter, and after that, she covered her mouth and looked at Rong'er nervously.

Recently, small things and big things have been sending letters more frequently, and Rong'er is worried about whether someone will find out. Chun'er's words proved this doubt, she knew it, and she must know it.

Qingmei slapped Chun'er and glared at her.

Rong'er waved her hand and whispered, "How do you know, who else knows?" ”

"I woke up the night before, heard a sound outside, and thought it was strange, so I crept out, as if I saw a figure going over there... I overheard them say that at night I saw a bird shadow coming to your house from the medicine field, and after a while, the bird flew away again. Chun'er secretly pointed to the wooden house in Xia Zhongshan.

"Didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You've been overjoyed for the past two days, and everyone has been watching you closely."

Qingmei said, "Wang Ba secretly asked me about the bird shadow, but I didn't know about it, so I denied it all." My brother said that he might have noticed it secretly at home, but he pretended not to know. ”

In fact, this matter will be discovered by everyone sooner or later, even if the second prince knows, what if the second prince knows?

Rong'er's marriage was dissolved, and Qingmei secretly revealed to Dong Bo and Tao Ye.

Finally, it's a big deal. Dong Bo and they were secretly happy, and during dinner, under the pretext of holding the second prince to offer cooking skills, they came out with a vat of wild fruit wine.

The wine and food were arranged, and everyone gathered around the table to praise and swallow saliva while smelling the fragrance.

"It's so beautiful to look at."

"I can't imagine that the second son has learned to cook in so many days?"

Everyone sat down, and Qingmei and Chun'er helped everyone pour good fruit wine.

Xia Zhongshan has never had such a sense of accomplishment, so he first took the fruit wine and toasted everyone.

"I'll taste it first." Chun'er picked up a piece of wild ginger and fried hare meat, and when she first entered it, she felt that it was salty and fragrant, and when she chewed it, she spit it on the ground and shouted, "Why didn't Wang Ba check it?" The hare meat is not cooked! ”

"I'll look at this smoldering!" Qingmei picked up a piece of and put it in her mouth, only chewed it, spit it out, and said repeatedly, "It's not cooked, it's not cooked." Wang Ba quickly take it back and go back to the pot! ”

Wang Badao: "I mainly burn the fire. Zhongshan Gongzi said, I have watched it these days, I see that he has really learned the ingredients in the pot, and the color of the fried vegetables looks normal, how could he think that he would start the pot before it is cooked? ”

Xia Zhongshan tasted it himself, blushed with shame, and sighed, "I thought it was like this, who knew that it wouldn't be able to pass the fire." ”

Dong Bo waved his hand and said, "The kitchen seems simple, if you really want to become an expert, cooking and mastering the heat, after a few years of hard work, it is inevitable that you will often miss, either the taste is weak, or the taste is heavy, or the heat is insufficient, or the heat is too much." Aren't there still two green vegetables? Without meat, they can be served with the same wine. ”

Tao Ye said, "In short, the son of Zhongshan has recovered smoothly, and now he has learned a set of swordsmanship for me, a set of swordsmanship for Jiang Lian, and half of Wang Ba's cooking skills, which are all gratifying things." Saying that, he looked at Rong'er.

Rong'er smiled and picked up the wild fruit wine, and raised it to everyone, "Do it for the second prince." ”

Xia Zhongshan sat down embarrassedly, drank slowly with everyone, and after a while, Wang Ba and Qingmei returned to the pot and brought the dishes, and everyone ate with relish.

Qin Feng couldn't help but say at this time, "Qingmei, what are you talking about the marriage contract by the medicine field in the middle of the afternoon?" ”

Everyone was stunned, absolutely no one told Qin Feng and Hao Daqian anything.

Qingmei rolled her eyes, "Brother Qin, where did you hear what we said?" We ate wild chestnuts at the edge of the medicine field in the afternoon, everyone knows that Wang Qi and my brother picked a lot of wild chestnuts at the bottom of the mountain in the past few days, and after the trip, Wang Bugs fried some for us to eat as snacks. ”

Chun'er followed and bombarded him, "Brother Qin slept in the sun in the afternoon, dreaming, right?" ”

Qin Feng patted his head, "Could it be that the fruit wine I drank at noon was a little drunk and dizzy, and I really dreamed in the sun in the afternoon?" ”

"You want to get married, right?" Jiang Lian teased him.

"Stay out. Let Brother Zhongshan find a good family for you. Qing Ming usually doesn't talk much, but he also laughed at him at this time.

Everyone laughed.

**

In the middle of the night, there was silence in the valley.

Xia Zhongshan stood outside the house for a long time before slowly walking into the house in the dark.

"Second son. You still haven't slept yet? Qin Feng slept on the wooden board outside, only to find that he had fallen asleep just now, but he didn't know that he had gone out, so he got up and walked inside in the dark.

A faint moonlight shone through the wooden window beside the wooden bed.

Xia Zhongshan sat on the edge of the bed and did not move.

"Sleep. Don't be embarrassed that the food isn't cooked at night. Qin Feng comforted.

"What did you say Rong'er said was about the marriage contract they talked about in the afternoon?"

"I passed through the vegetable patch, and saw that they were having a good time there, so I deliberately avoided them, and listened to what they said, and they spoke very quietly, and I couldn't hear clearly, and it was just when a gust of wind blew from that side, and I heard Rong'er say, 'I shouldn't have hidden it from everyone, but ...... The matter of the marriage contract ...... 'Chun'er, they understood it as soon as they heard it, I guess it was the rumor that Chaohui Ning Mansion and Anping Mansion in the capital had withdrawn from the marriage before, so I tried to say it in front of everyone at night, and they looked very tacit, as if they didn't want us to know about it. ”

"It should be a marriage contract related to Rong'er."

"I'll keep an eye out for more."

"You go to sleep."

Xia Zhongshan sat in the dark for a while before going to bed.

On Rong'er's side, the three girls slept together again.

Qingmei whispered: "Brother Youxin has been sleeping with the second prince for several nights. My brother said that Qin Feng has been sleeping domineering recently, and he always squeezes Brother Youxin out of bed. ”

Chun'er said, "Didn't Qin Feng do it on purpose?" At night it was as if he were deliberately tempting everyone. If this continues, will they be divided into two factions with us? ”

Qingmei said, "I guess Qin Feng and they must also know about the bird shadow." ”

Rong'er nodded, "Let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Some things may not be hidden from Xia Zhongshan like this, otherwise there will be contradictions in the future, Rong'er turned over a few times and planned the rest of the matter.

I don't want to, the next day Xia Zhongshan and Youxin were studying in the West Stone Pavilion, and they first mentioned Qin Feng sleeping in the middle of the night and crowding people, saying: "You are not on my side at night, I am really not used to it, sometimes I can't sleep in the middle of the night, I want to talk to people about articles, but Qin Feng he doesn't understand." I asked Qin Feng to find Tao Ye and them to make a wide chair, and in the future, if you talk late on my side, let him sleep in a new chair. ”

Youxin also smiled and said, "Guli, as far as you and I can talk about the world, there are a few nights when I don't talk to you at night, and I feel like something is missing." ”

"Confidants are rare. From tonight onwards, you can stay with me again. Natsuyama smiled open-mindedly.

"Look at the stability of the emperor's governance, this peaceful and prosperous era, as long as the criminal affairs are fair and strict, in fact, it is not very difficult, the difficult thing is to be fair and strict. However, on the issue of the death penalty, what you mentioned last time is extremely unusual, some people should be punished, but some torture is too brutal, how can the reform of punishment be more intimidating? I've been thinking about an article these nights, and I'm going to talk to you about it in the evening. "There is a channel.

"Good! We still come according to the rules. Martial arts practice in the morning, reading and writing in the morning, chores in the afternoon, and state affairs in the evening. Xia Zhongshan's eyes lit up with joy.

Rong'er and Chun'er are here again.

Chun'er put down a crockpot and poured two bowls of tea soup, "Brother Youxin, Brother Zhongshan, August is dry, although it can't be as hot as summer, but you still have to drink some autumn chrysanthemum soup." ”

"Rong'er will change the breed for us again?" Xia Zhongshan took the bowl and drank it with a grunt.

"There are a lot of natural health products in this valley, and the valley is full of wild chrysanthemums at this time, add some wild wolfberries, and just replace it with autumn health soup." Rong'er was radiant and her eyes were shining.

Youxin took the bowl from Chun'er's hand and said with a smile, "My sister is a person who is happy and happy." ”

Chun'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "My Aunt Rong is a strange person. People are eager to marry into a wealthy family, but she can't wait to divorce Huining Mansion. ”

Xia Zhongshan put down the bowl and looked at them puzzled, "What is this?" ”

Youxin said with a smile, "My sister Rong doesn't like Xia Zhikang to wander all day long, so she has always wanted to break off the marriage contract with Xia Zhikang, and now people outside think that we are all dead, so my uncle took advantage of this to find Huining Mansion to withdraw from the marriage, and asked Xia Zhikang to find a new family quickly, don't miss a lot of happiness." ”

Xia Zhongshan was surprised, "When I first entered the valley, listening to the story you told, wasn't my fourth aunt suspicious of Rong'er and her?" Now it's Rong'er who wants to get rid of them? No one has been out lately, how did this news come about? ”

Rong'er lowered her head slightly, shook her shoulders a few times, and said with a smile: "Aren't you strange that I am in the valley, but I can know a lot of things outside?" ”

Xia Zhongshan frowned slightly as if he was a little dissatisfied, "Of course I'm strange. But if you don't tell me, I won't dare to make you angry. ”

Chun'er smiled, "My aunt has a friend outside who knows how to use birds to send messages, and my aunt often relies on that bird to send letters back and forth. ”

"Really?" Xia Zhongshan felt strange.

Rong'er nodded.

There is a saying, "When will we meet the amazing bird?" ”

Rong'er's small mouth turned into a lovely flower, and she shook her head, "This can't be done!" ”

She's made it clear. Xia Zhongshan felt very relieved in his heart, this was what they said to their faces, and they didn't hide what he meant, and this matter should leave some room for Rong'er, so he smiled and said, "Rong'er said no, I don't think it's okay." ”

Youxin laughed, "Actually, we don't know any bird taming skills. It doesn't matter if it's a god or a bird, if it can help us deliver letters. ”

Spread their hearts with each other, and there will be no secrets in the valley.

Xia Zhongshan was very old and heavy, so he picked up the pen at this time, stopped chatting, and looked like he was concentrating on writing.

"Brother Zhongshan. I'll tell you one thing first, don't be angry. Rong'er decided to give it all up.

Xia Zhongshan didn't look at her, and said while writing, "Let's take a look." ”

"The poem you wrote last time, I asked the birds to send it out, and it has been sent to the emperor." Rong'er said frankly.

Xia Zhongshan looked up at her at this time, "You ghost elf, no wonder you like my Mobao so much, it makes me happy for many days." ”

"This is a letter from the emperor." Rong'er took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to him.

"Pan Anshun will return early", just such a simple five words, Xia Zhongshan's eyes were red, his throat hurt, remembering his father's expectations for him when he was a child, he never disliked his deep love for himself when he was seriously ill over the years, biting his lip, and did not cry out in public.

"Want to get out, right? If you want to go out now, you can arrange it. "The problem of marriage has been solved, and Rong'er has no scruples.

Who knew that Xia Zhongshan said, "The valley is quiet, I want to grow some martial arts well." ”

Rong'er said: "From tomorrow onwards, as long as you don't work, let them all come to accompany you to practice martial arts." ”

Xia Zhongshan asked, "Do I still need needles?" ”

Rong'er said, "I used to prick once in the morning and once in the evening, but recently it has been reduced to once in the morning. Depending on your current situation, you can reduce it to once every three days for health care. ”

Now that he has entered the period of health care, Xia Zhongshan understands what this means, and he also has a clear feeling that this peak body has completely recovered and has become vigorous.

"Good. From tomorrow onwards, I will focus on martial arts. Youxin, you and Qingming are both very young, let's practice martial arts together, and there will be a time when we will be useful in martial arts in the future. Xia Zhongshan looked at Youxin with a sincere face.

There was a channel, "Okay." I should do my best. The little martial arts that I learned from my cousins at home in the past, when I saw the skills of the elder brother Tao Yi, I knew that I should improve it again. ”

Chun'er couldn't help but sigh, "Are you going out to fight?" ”

Xia Zhongshan said with a smile, "Isn't there a mess in the north outside Rong'er?" A manly man is born on the battlefield. Chun'er is distressed and trustworthy? ”

Chun'er's face was flushed and she waved her hands straight.

"Let's go. Don't delay Brother Xin's business. ”

Rong'er said and walked out of the pavilion.
