Chapter 118: Those Things About Children's Affection
As dusk approached, the snow gradually stopped.
There was no wind, quietly cold.
The house was as warm as spring, and the charcoal stove in the corner was burning.
On the short-legged table of the warm pavilion, there are steaming clay pots, stewed pigeon, roasted pig's trotters in sauce, braised beef, papaya milk porridge, walnut and red date pork chop soup, and a few home-cooked side dishes, dotted among these bottles and jars.
"Young lady, these are all dishes that the prince went to the small shop to order, the snow road is slippery and a little late, I hope the young lady will forgive me." The young man who came to deliver the food explained respectfully.
"It's okay, what's the matter if it's late, it's this snowy day, it's causing you trouble." Shen Qingli smiled, and asked Taozhi to give him double the reward, and he couldn't help but wonder for a while, how could this person think of going to Yipinju to order food?
After the young man left, Taozhi stepped forward and smiled: "Young lady, you see how good the prince is to you!" ”
This is the newlywed Yan'er!
Shen Qingli looked at the bottles and cans in front of him, and suddenly felt a trace of warmth in his heart, so he asked Taozhi to go to the study to see if Mu Yunting had come back, Tong Gongzi still hadn't been whereabouts, Mu Yunche was still trapped in the Shallow Moon Pavilion, he just came back, I'm afraid that he won't have time to come to the inner garden, right?
Taozhi understood, and went to the study with a smile on his face, Shaoqing, came back and said: "Young lady, Gong Si said that the prince and Feng Liu went to Chongshui, and the road was slippery on a snowy day, so I am afraid that I will not come back tonight." ”
Chongshui is the southernmost town of the capital, more than 100 miles away from the capital, although it is somewhat remote, but warm in winter and cool in summer, it is the favorite place of Emperor Zhaowu, and he also deliberately built a palace there, almost every winter to spend a month or two there, so many important institutions have also set up branches there.
The officials of the Great Liang Dynasty are not a day, but a day every day, if there is an emergency, you can enter the palace at any time to face the saint, now the emperor has gone to Chongshui, and even the five days have been saved, so that the ministers have something to report, and they have to follow to Chongshui.
"Is the eldest lady back?" Shen Qingli hurriedly asked.
There is such a big thing at home, Mu Changyuan is not here, Mu Yunting is not here, and the house must not be messed up into a pot of porridge.
"Nope." Momozhi shook his head, "It's just that I heard that Tong Gongzi's horse was found, but the person didn't know where to go, the eldest lady has already taken people up the mountain, and there is no news at present." ”
"The mountain over there in Lingxiao Temple is actually not steep, as long as Tong Gongzi has no other accidents, he will definitely not get lost." Shen Qingli has been there twice, and he feels that the view of the mountain is very broad, and he should not lose it, besides, even if he can't tell the direction on a snowy day, he can always see the tea house of the prince of Jin, and the tea house is very high.
Thinking of King Jin's teahouse, Shen Qingli felt embarrassed again.
"Young lady, it's useless for us to be anxious, let's wait for news while eating!" Momoeda comforted.
Shen Qingli nodded, took off his shoes and went on the kang, tasting the delicacy of Yipinju with relish, remembering the last time she and Mu Yunting ate there, he couldn't help but chuckle, because King Jin suddenly came, saying that he wanted to arrest the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the two had to go up the tree, now thinking about it, it's really funny.
I have to admit that the dishes made by Yipinju are really delicious, the pigeon melts in the mouth, not to mention, but also with a sweet milk smell, the sauce pig's trotters are still so authentic, the beef is also stewed in a unique style, and it tastes fragrant, as for the porridge, it is delicious, sweet but not greasy, like jelly-like lubrication.
The long-lost appetite was rehooked, and on a whim, he asked Bi Tao and Tao Zhi Cuizhi Ah Hua to come over and eat together, the four of them refused to come forward, Shen Qingli had to give up, and used chopsticks to pick out a few pieces from each clay pot and put them in the bowl, and let everyone come and taste the rest, and the four of them took the chopsticks and ate them happily.
After a meal, the master and servant enjoyed it.
Especially Ah Hua, he actually swept away all the remaining dishes, including porridge, and smacked his lips and asked: "Young lady, next time Yipinju sends another dish, let Ah Shu come over and taste it, make sure she knows how to do it as soon as she tastes it, let's learn it ourselves, so we don't need them to send it." ”
In addition to sleeping every day, Ah Qin and Ah Shu just stay in the kitchen on weekdays to study and cook, and they don't talk much, and they hardly feel their savings.
The two cook very carefully, and after a month, the meals are not duplicated.
The women in the self-combing pavilion are really good.
"Then we can't let Ah Shu come over to taste it, otherwise, won't we have to live up to the prince's heart in the future?" Momoeda quipped.
Bi Tao knows, smiles, and doesn't squeak.
However, Cuizhi and Ah Hua were puzzled, why did they live up to the heart of the prince, but Cuizhi was stuffy in his heart, but Ah Hua asked directly: "What?" Is it only delicious that is given by the prince? We can do it ourselves. ”
Taozhi and Bi Tao suddenly laughed and bent over, but Shen Qingli blushed and scolded with a smile: "You two little hooves are becoming more and more thieves, you know how to make fun of others, punish the two of you to clean up the table, Cuizhi and Ah Hua stay to talk to me." ”
At this time, Mama Chu hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked in, and said urgently: "Second Young Lady, the fifth young master heard that the eldest young master was surrounded by the people of the Guogong Mansion in the Qianyue Pavilion, and he was angry, so he took people to the Qianyue Pavilion to rescue the eldest young master, the fifth young grandmother was worried that the people of the Hou Mansion would suffer, and went back to call the people of the General's Mansion, and now the two sides have fought, after Mrs. Tai heard about it, she was so anxious that she wanted to go and see it in person, the slave and maid couldn't persuade her, or the second young lady went over to persuade her!" It's freezing this day, Mrs. Tai can't go out! ”
"Mama, you go back and tell your grandmother, that she doesn't have to worry about this matter, I'll go over and have a look first." Shen Qingli was busy getting off the kang and putting on shoes, why did this matter get bigger and bigger!
On this snowy day, I was full of food and fought outside.
Moontop treetops.
It's cold.
In the field of vision, it was white.
When he arrived at the door, the carriage had already been prepared, and Mu Yunchao was waiting on horseback.
The uncle and sister-in-law looked at each other helplessly and smiled, and quickly ran towards the Shallow Moon Pavilion.
Before he could get closer, he saw torches everywhere in the distance, shouting everywhere, and occasionally the sound of swords clashing.
The crowd on the third floor and the outer three floors had already surrounded the Shallow Moon Pavilion.
"Second sister-in-law, if you continue like this, you will die." Mu Yunchao frowned and said, "Although our Hou Mansion is responsible for this matter, we have to let them stop first." ”
"Let's go over and have a look." Shen Qingli got out of the carriage, a cold air hit, she couldn't help shivering, hurriedly wrapped the cloak on her body, and walked towards the crowd with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Cuizhi and Ah Hua followed closely behind.
Mu Yunchao also tied his horse and chased after him quickly.
However, Xia Yunchu's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of the red figure walking in the snow, and he was excited in his heart, and hurriedly beat his horse to meet him, and said incoherently: "Oh, why did you still alarm the second young lady, I am really ashamed." ”
"Xia Shizi, our two families are relatives anyway, if there is anything, it is easy to talk about and discuss, wouldn't it hurt the harmony of the two families to meet each other like this?" Shen Qingli smiled at him reluctantly, "Shizi, my eldest brother is certainly at fault, but after all, this is a family matter of our Hou Mansion, we will handle it ourselves, so don't fight you." ”
Under the moonlight.
The long-lost face became more and more moving, although the smile on her face was reluctant, but after all, it was smiling at him, Xia Yunchu's heart had already softened, he jumped off the horse, and said loudly: "What the second young lady said is reasonable, but this time it was my father who was angry, and I wanted to give my brother-in-law a little color, but who would have thought, your fifth brother actually united with the people of the General's Mansion to attack us, how can we be captured?" If you want to stop, you have to stop first. ”
After Xia Yunchu finished speaking, he looked at her without blinking, and he really wanted to stand with her like this until he was old.
Mu Yunchao didn't know when he had climbed onto the roof, and shouted loudly to the crowd: "Don't fight, everyone, let's have something to say." ”
It's a pity that his shout was instantly drowned out in the noisy crowd, Mu Yunchao shouted for a while, but seeing that it was to no avail, he had to climb down stupidly.
Shen Qingli had no choice but to go to the crowd with Mu Yunchao to find Mu Yunqi and Su Ruyi, these two people are really a couple, how can they like to fight with people.
On the carriage not far away, Situ Kong and Xu Zheng looked at the fierce battle in front of them quietly, seemingly indifferent.
"It's a pity that Mu Yunting didn't come, otherwise this scene would be even more exciting." The corners of Xu Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled, "I really want to see what kind of expression he will have when he sees his lover lying on the same bed with his eldest brother, haha." ”
"Humph! As long as we use this to cut off the relationship between Mu Yunting and the green waist, we will achieve our goal. Situ Kong said faintly, "This woman from the Western Regions really shouldn't stay by Mu Yunting's side, then she will hurt Li Niang sooner or later." ”
The people in the Western Regions are all scheming, how can a woman from a family who has been raised in the boudoir since childhood be their opponent.
"I couldn't imagine that Brother Situ was so infatuated and planned for her with such good intentions, but unfortunately she didn't know it." Xu Zheng looked at Situ Kong with admiration, and said in a low voice, "Brother Situ, you can't take too much care of these children's affections, you have to plan carefully, what should we do now?" ”
"Since Huangfu Shuo likes Chongshui so much, then let him stay there forever." Situ Kong said word by word, "The New Year is in a few days, and Huangfu Shuo will definitely leave for the palace, and at that time, we will start." ”
"But Mu Yunting is also in Chongshui, he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and there are many secret guards around him, so we may not be able to succeed." Xu Zheng frowned.
Although Mu Yunting is young, he is in a high position, and he has experienced a hundred battles, and with his escort, there is no chance of winning the assassination.
"Don't worry, I've already figured out how to turn the tiger away from the mountain." Situ Kong looked at Xu Zheng and said in a deep voice, "You say, if Mu Yunting's sister-in-law and future brother-in-law disappear inexplicably, what will Mu Yunting do?" ”
"Brother Situ is really smart." Xu Zheng smiled slightly, turned his head, and saw Shen Qingli walking towards the two of them, so he said, "Brother Situ, your student is here, there must be something to ask for, do you want to pay attention next time?" ”
Situ Kong lowered the curtain and commanded with an expressionless face: "Go home." ”
The groom whipped forward.
"Brother Situ, ...... you" Xu Zheng was puzzled.
"Now that she's a wife, I can't see her." Situ Kong said coldly, "Besides, I've already explained, and if I make trouble for another half an hour, I'll withdraw." ”R1152
