Chapter 216: Dragon Boat Festival Gathering

This day has finally arrived on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival.

This festival was originally called "Duanwu Festival", in the Tang Dynasty, because of the avoidance of the birthday of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (the fifth day of August), the fifth was changed to noon, and it was called the Dragon Boat Festival, or Duanyang Festival.

The origin of the festival is that it was founded by the ancestors of Wuyue in the south to worship the dragon ancestor and pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits. Because of the legend that Qu Yuan, a poet of Chu during the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5, people later took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan; There are also sayings commemorating Wu Zixu, Cao E and Jie Zitui.

Because during the Dragon Boat Festival in the Tang and Song dynasties, the people of each family bathed in boiled water with chrysanthemum orchids, so the people of the Tang and Song dynasties also called the Dragon Boat Festival as the bathing orchid festival.

In the city of Runzhou, the streets and alleys are inserted with dogwood, smoked grass, pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits, because of this solar term, officially enter the summer season, mosquitoes rise, easy to get sick, plague, etc., so the fashion of dispelling disease and epidemic prevention is also popular.

Su Chen returned to Nantang and spent the Dragon Boat Festival with his new family for the first time, with a sister Ling'er and a girl in bed, although he did not determine the relationship with her, Su Chen also had a good impression of Peng Jingqing.

At any time, a daughter with a noble status is willing to sacrifice her life to protect you and is willing to die for you, which is a thing worth moving.

Men chase women across mountains, women chase men across the veil, and unconsciously, men are easily moved by women.

"What do you want to eat today?" Su Chen asked Peng Jingqing.

"Hot pot, spicy hot, teppanyaki, give me the whole portion, I've been vegetarian for a few days, and I'm hungry for Miss Ben." Peng Jingqing was not polite to him, and directly ordered what he wanted to eat.

In the past few days, Peng Jingqing has been recuperating from her injuries, in addition to drinking decoction, that is, drinking porridge and eating pickles, mainly light, five or six days have passed, she has the body and bones of martial arts, and the recovery is okay, and she should be able to open meat.

"That's okay, today's festival, I'll make an exception for you, whatever you want to eat, I'll do it for you."

Peng Jingqing pursed her lips, thinking to herself what she wanted to eat before, do you dare not do it? If you don't do it, I'll clean you up!

However, now she also has some feelings for Su Chen, the requirements for women in this era, the wife follows her husband's thinking very deeply, even if Peng Jingqing is very arrogant, when she thinks that she may have emotional relations with Su Chen in the future, and even marry together, she can't help but be a little restrained, and she can't be as arrogant as before.

"Thank you, Brother Su Chen!" Peng Jingqing also whispered his thanks.

"What did you say?" Su Chen got goosebumps when he heard this, and he looked squeamish, quite unaccustomed.

"People say, thank you, Brother Su Chen!" Peng Jingqing still pretended to be a lady and said softly.

"Qinqing, you better talk well!" Su Chen covered his forehead.

Peng Jingqing's smile retracted, and then he became indifferent, and hummed: "Do it for me!" ”

"Well, that's just like you!" After Su Chen confirmed that she was not mentally abnormal, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go out.

Peng Jingqing watched him leave, pursed his lips, snorted lightly, and muttered: "Stinky Su Chen, I don't know what to do, this girl is so gentle, you are not used to it, so I should be arrogant to you!" ”

The maid and mother-in-law next to her, seeing this scene, looked at each other, and felt that their young lady was really a little abnormal.

At noon, Xu Cainu came to visit, she knew that there were few people in Sufu, so she came to accompany each other, and wanted to spend the Dragon Boat Festival together, and there were more people to celebrate the festival.

Su Chen made several specialty dishes, assorted casseroles, pot-wrapped meat, spicy fragrant pot, grilled lamb chops, stir-fried green vegetables, etc., different from the chefs of Nantang Restaurant, Xu Cainu also ate with relish.

During the banquet, Xu Qingwan also wanted to ask him some poetic insights or the truth of things, but they were all interrupted by Su Chen.

"This table of dishes can't stop your mouth, why are there so many problems!" Su Chen finally made a specialty dish for an hour, and served it on the table, she also asked questions while eating, so that he had to use his brain power after using his physical strength, Su Chen was not used to this problem.

Xu Cainu was stunned for a moment, and after being scolded by Su Chen, she felt a little strange, but she didn't get angry, but felt that getting along like this and eating with other scholars was different.

On weekdays, other talented people sit with her, they are all polite, trying their best to show off their literary talents, boasting of their talents, for fear of being looked down upon by Xu Cainu, they don't eat anything at all, they are all talking about poetry and songs, what they see and hear, in order to impress the talented women's other eyes. And this Su Chen, on the contrary, never boasted of his talent, didn't even disdain to pretend to be a talent in front of her, and reprimanded her twice.

But Xu Qingwan felt that this was very special, and felt Su Chen's approachability, true temperament, pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't feel embarrassed.

Peng Jingqing muttered beside him: "Su Chen, it would be nice if this spicy fragrant pot was a little more spicy!" ”

Su Chenbai glanced at her and said: "You are injured now, you can't eat too spicy, and besides, this kind of spicy mustard and leek flowers into the vegetable is not so good, it would be good if there were chili peppers." ”

Xu Qingwan's eyes flashed, and she interjected and asked, "What is a chili pepper?" ”

Su Chen explained: "It is a kind of vegetable, ripe and red, slender and pointy, but very spicy, and it tastes good when cooking. ”

Xu Qingwan became interested, and couldn't help asking, "Oh, where did you come in, have you seen this thing?" ”

What a hundred thousand whys for you!

Su Chen really has a bit of a headache, this talented woman Xu likes to get to the bottom of everything, and she is worthy of being a scholar.

"Of course I have seen it, otherwise how could I describe it, and still know what it tastes like! However, this thing is very difficult to get, so let's wait until my Tang Kingdom's navigation technology is stronger. Su Chen remembered that historical records recorded that chili peppers were introduced to China from the Americas at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and at first they were only used as ornamental crops and medicines, and they did not enter the Chinese recipe for a long time, with a history of more than 200 years.

Peng Jingqing gave full play to his gluttonous nature, grasped the key point of the topic and said: "With chili peppers, wouldn't it be better for us to eat hot pot." ”

Su Chen glanced at Peng Jingqing, it was really rare to be smart, but it was a pity that it was used to eat.

At this moment, he was somewhat convinced of the character of the second daughter in front of him.

After lunch, the prefect Peng Zeliang came to visit his daughter, and Peng Jingqing naturally lay on the bed, pretending to be sluggish and in a serious condition.

After seeing it, Governor Peng felt sorry for a while, and once again told Su Chen to take good care of Qinqing, and be sure to treat her as soon as possible to get better and recover, otherwise, he would have to give him some color, and Su Chen, who was powerless and powerless, naturally nodded again and again, looking completely teachable.

Peng Zeliang had to go to the river in the afternoon to preside over the dragon boat race and worship the river god, so he stayed for a while and left.

After sending away Governor Peng's Mansion, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to see Peng Jingqing looking at him with a smile, Nunu's mouth, with a smug look, but it was also cute!

If you establish a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with her like this, I don't know if I will be sent by Governor Peng to beat him.

Suddenly, Su Chen remembered the three-year appointment with Bai Susu again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
