Under the still green laurel tree by the courtyard wall, Zhu Xishi took a hoe and stepped on the left under the tree, and measured the right measure, as if he was looking for something. After carefully determining the moment, Zhu Xishi stood in the corner to the left of the laurel tree and pointed to the ground under his feet.

"That's it, dig together."

"Huh? I'm going to dig too?! But I haven't used it. ”

Flicked the hoe handle in his hand left and right, and Zhao Xiaoba's eyes were full of reluctance. But Zhu Xi didn't have much to do with him, took a few steps back, picked up his hoe and dug down to the ground where he had stood before.

"Don't be lazy, if you haven't used it, learn to use it now, what's expensive? When you are a relative of the emperor, your whole body is made of gold and jade. ”

This crooked hit was correct, and Zhao Xiaoba, who was lazy, was speechless, and it was not good to argue with Zhu Xishi about this topic.

"Tap Zhao Xiaoba, don't cut the roots of the laurel tree!"

"It's just a tree, is it so expensive as you say? What a cash cow. ”

"You know, if you hurt it for half a point, I'll have to skin you! This was planted by my father when I was born, but my natal tree! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoba fell into a dumbness again, why is her family so about the rules and taboos, and it is even more troublesome than the rules of the palace!

"Superstition!"

Although he said such unforgivingly, Zhu Xi could see that he was obviously much more careful in making the movements of the hoe. It seemed that he still listened to his words, and the corners of Zhu Xishi's mouth couldn't help but flash a shallow smile.

There was a "clang", and the hoe seemed to make a sound when it touched something hard. I saw that Zhu Xishi's face flashed with surprise at first, and in an instant, he changed to a brilliant smile.

"Oh, this is it! Quickly clean up the surrounding soil. ”

With a reminder, the movements between the hands of the two unconsciously became sharp again, and after a while, a boxy wooden plank with a length of five or six meters and a width was completely presented in front of the two of them, and Zhu Xi's joy was even more indescribable.

Looking at this scene, the suspicious Zhao Xiaoba couldn't help but ask jokingly.

"What are you hiding down here, so mysterious. It won't be your dowry, right? ”

"You kid is really a god this time! Here's my dowry. ”

The questioner was unintentional, and the returner was surprising, Zhao Xiaoba was stunned with a hoe. Wouldn't it, it's really her dowry from Zhu Xi?! Why are you hiding this place, and what are you digging it out for?

"Hurry up and help move away, don't be stupid!"

Unintentionally paying attention to the questions in Zhao Xiaoba's heart, Zhu Xishi quickly put down the hoe in his hand and went to lift the wooden board on the ground.

Under the joint efforts of the two, the rotten wooden board was finally removed, and the so-called "dowry of Zhu Xishi" below also revealed the true face of Lushan, and the situation under the wooden board also shocked Zhao Xiaoba.

Wine jar?!

It turned out that there was a small wine cellar hidden under the plank, which contained a jar of wine. Zhao Xiaoba roughly counted, to say the least, there were thirty or forty jars of wine; Although it is not unusual for ordinary people to have a wine cellar, it is a bit unexpected to sit down with Zhu Xishi's previous words.

"Is this your dowry? Grandma, you're not kidding. ”

Zhu Xishi was not in a hurry to answer Zhao Xiaoba, but knelt on the ground and hurriedly took out a jar from the wine cellar and came, it seemed to be heavy, not to mention that one jar weighed twenty or thirty catties. Brushing the dirt from it with his hands, Zhu Xishi smiled more and more brightly as if he had obtained some great treasure.

After going to the oil paper at the mouth of the jar, Zhu Xishi carefully uncovered the wine cover, and suddenly a rich fragrance of osmanthus spread around, which was intoxicating. Raising his fingers, Zhu Xishi dipped it in the clear wine and put it in his mouth, and his face was suddenly filled with happiness and intoxication.

"Come, how about you taste this osmanthus wine too."

Just smelling this fragrance is intoxicating, Zhao Xiaoba is coming up, reaching into the wine jar with one hand to take a little osmanthus wine, put it to his mouth and taste it, and suddenly a shocking spirit rushed up!

The entrance is rich, the aftertaste is sweet, and the fragrance is extraordinarily mellow because of this unique osmanthus aroma! Zhao Xiaoba, who has tasted a lot of worldly wines, couldn't help but give a thumbs up and admire.

"Good wine!"

Being able to get Zhao Xiaoba's praise, Zhu Xishi's face suddenly showed a look of pride, and he asked Zhao Xiaoba with some pride to explain the question just now.

"That's it! Even if you have a vision, this is the osmanthus wine that my father has brewed for me for ten years, waiting for me to open the seal and drink it on the day I got married. ”

When Zhu Xishi said this, the statement of "dowry" naturally became logical. Zhao Xiaoba once again tasted the residual fragrance between his upper lips and teeth, not to mention that this is a rare old wine, in a deeper sense, this is a father's love for his daughter.

Her father's wedding wine for Zhu Xi's time is even more significant.

"Do you want to use the wedding wine that your father has saved for you to greet Xiao Yi and his brothers?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

Hearing her rhetorical question, Zhao Xiaoba's smile was more helpless compared to her smiling face at this time. Zhu Xi was generous and bold, he never questioned it, but in the face of this altar full of osmanthus wine full of father's blessings to his daughter, Zhu Xishi seemed to be too generous, and then it became a kind of luxury and waste.

"This is the dowry that your father left you, and it is also his blessing to you, don't you think it's too wasteful? If you want to entertain Xiao Yi and them, are there still few good wine shops in Taiyuan City? ! ”

Zhao Xiaoba's reminder was a bit unexpected, but when Zhu Xishi, who smiled, answered even more unexpectedly.

"Didn't you also say that I am afraid that I will not be able to get married in this life, and my father's good wine will not be wasted? Instead of hiding deep underground all the time, it is better to take it out and share it with others, and there is nothing wrong with using it to the fullest. ”

Suddenly, Zhao Xiaoba was frozen by her words. Those nonsense words were all unintentional jokes for a while, but I didn't want to be listened to by Zhu Xishi, thinking about the cause and effect, Zhao Xiaoba found that he was sometimes too presumptuous, like a heartless person.

"Okay, little eighth master, don't worry too much, what I said just now is just a joke. There are thirty or forty jars of good wine here, and it's nothing to take out a few jars to treat everyone, a little bit of heart. ”

Carefully sealed the tasted osmanthus wine, Zhu Xishi took four jars from the wine cellar again, and hurriedly greeted Zhao Xiaoba, who couldn't react beside him.

"Hurry up and help, be there like a dumbfounded. With such a big plank, where can I move it in my woman's house? ”

Squinting her eyes, when Zhao Xiaoba raised her head to look at Zhu Xi again, a kind of brilliance seemed to bloom on her body, which made people feel a little dazzling.

Perhaps it was in the face of the unattractive Zhu Xi that Zhao Xiaoba was able to realize that people's eyes are sometimes so ugly.
