Su Lu took Ah Xue's hand and came to the city wall.

The city wall in spring was a little cold, and the wind blew with a lot of coolness, Su Lu called the veteran who came to see the city gate and asked him to bring the cushion and quilt that Su Lu usually sat on.

Su Lu has liked to come here since he was a child, listening to these veterans chatting and blowing farts is simply fun, every few days, Su Lu will inevitably come here with his quilt, for more than ten years, it has not changed, but the veterans here have already changed a lot, only from the beginning to the present, there are only two people, both of them are the original soldiers under Su Lu's father, accidentally injured a little, affecting movement, and sent here.

This view of the city gate is actually a very enjoyable work, the merchants who come in and out will more or less steal their eyebrows and rat eyes to stuff some silver, which can be regarded as fat oil, so how to spend this money? The most comfortable thing is to secretly roast a fat chicken, or half a leg of mutton, by the guard's campfire in the middle of the night, if you have plenty of money, you can't miss a crockpot of wine and meat, and put a hard pot helmet, simmer a little, although it is dry but fragrant.

Of course, these are all things that are not allowed by the ban, but who cares? When it comes to fighting, they are naturally the ones who dare to work hard and abide by the rules, and no one cares about eating and drinking secretly in order to ward off the cold in this kind of peaceful life.

What's more, Su Lu, who is the only son of Su Baohu, every time he comes back, he inevitably rubs half a pot helmet and a chicken leg, and when he is a little older, these veteran ruffians trick Su Lu into drinking, and they laugh extremely presumptuous when they see Su Lu's little face flushed and coughing.

The quilt and mat he stored here were arranged for Ah Xue, while Su Lu himself enjoyed the invasion of the cool spring breeze.

This quilt smells of sweat and doesn't smell of sweat, only a smell of fireworks and the aroma of food, although Ah Xue is a small family, but also loves to be clean, and after a little look, he didn't see any dirty hum traces, so he wrapped himself tightly with confidence.

With the quilt and mat, Ah Xue looked at the large area of land outside the city with a blushing face blown by the wind, and the air at night was full of earthy smell, and it was cold and cold, which was simply refreshing.

Seeing that she was fascinated, Su Lubian didn't say hello, and got up and planned to ask the veterans guarding the city gate to find some food.

Ah Xue was looking at it intently, but she smelled a fragrance. Looking around, I saw Su Lu walking over with a large stoneware bowl in one hand, with a pair of wooden sticks and freshly sharpened chopsticks on it, pouring fragrant sauce-red soup, and a few small pieces of oily meat slices.

"Look, come and get it, do you want me to feed you?" Su Lu's eyebrows were smiling, "You are really lucky, Lao Wu usually doesn't make this stew, today they have a lot of money, and they haven't eaten this meat for a long time, Lao Wu took the firewood and half-simmered and half-boiled it for several hours, but it was delicious." ”

Ah Xue hurriedly let go of the hand holding the quilt tightly, and took the pottery bowl, the meat slices were oily, steaming hot, this rice was carved Hu rice, soft and cowardly, and this stewed rotten, fat and thin meat slices were poured with a big spoon of broth, mixed a few times, it was simply the best and full.

Carved Hu rice is a wild rice by the pond, the yield is small, and no one will go out of their way to plant, but if it comes across, it will not let go, Su Lu likes to eat, the soldiers here will prepare some for Su Lu when they see it, let the mother-in-law cook it at night, and put it on the side of the fire pond to heat it.

This is natural, Su Baohu is the same as them, they are all from poor families, Su Lu has not learned any habit of looking down on people, they look pleasing to the eye, such a young and beautiful young man, and always smiling, can people not like it? What's more, they are also respectful, and always give them some silver to arrange their food, so better treatment is indispensable.

Ah Xue ate in small bites, and she also wanted to swallow it in a big gulp regardless of the image, but the carved hu rice wrapped in the soup was really hot, so she had to take a small bite and taste it slowly, the meat aroma in her mouth was not very greasy, and the carved hu rice with elastic teeth was also very chewy, which was a natural match.

Su Lu swallowed his saliva, he really wanted to eat, but he didn't want to ask for it, so he pretended not to care much about looking at the night sky, but the smell of meat and rice in his nose made him swallow saliva secretly.

Ah Xue was eating sweetly, and when she heard the sound of Su Lu swallowing saliva, she felt a little embarrassed, she ate other people's food, but she forgot that Su Lu was still hungry.

handed over the rice bowl and poked Su Lu with chopsticks, Su Lu took the bowl with a grin, looked at the wet chopsticks, and then looked at Ah Xue, who seemed to realize something and lowered her head with a red face, wiped the tail of the chopsticks on her clothes, and then feasted with chopsticks.

"Hmm, it's really delicious...... I really don't feel full no matter how much I eat. Biting the chopsticks that seemed to have a meaty aroma, Su Lu felt a little unfinished, but the empty bottom of the bowl made him helpless.

Ah Xue is like a little daughter-in-law, looking at Su Lu eating cleanly, in fact, she didn't eat much, most of the bowl was eaten by Su Lu, and when she thought about it, she regretted how she let him eat so quickly.

"Where is your home in the city? I've been around since I was a kid, so I've never seen you? Su Lu asked vaguely as he bit his chopsticks.

The two have not been together for a long time, and this rash outing has pulled in a lot of distance.

"I don't go out much, I just stay in the boudoir, just embroidering and taking care of the flowers and plants all day." A Xue's face quickly flashed a trace of panic, but Su Lu didn't notice it, just looked out of the city.

"Isn't it boring? I don't think it's big to come to your house, what can you do in a big slap? Haven't you ever thought about coming out to play? Su Lu asked, and he didn't care if people could react.

"I also came out, when I was a child, I also went to the temple fair with my father and mother during the New Year's holidays, the temple fair was fun, there was everything, but unfortunately I was old, and my mother said that I shouldn't go to the temple fair, so I won't go." Ah Xue picked at her nails and twisted a little, "Don't just ask me about it, what about you?" What do you do? ”

"I, I don't think it's anything particularly different, I go out a lot, and I was taken out by my father when I was a child, that is, to visit some big official, or I was taken to Baihualou for the old bustard to watch, and I went to the palace to find the prince to play, and there was nothing interesting about it." Su Lu said with his legs swaying.

"What's it like in the palace? Are the old palace maids in it particularly fierce? Was the spittoon used by the emperor really made of gold? Speaking of the palace, Ah Xue seems to be quite interested.

"It's okay, that's it, as for the spittoon... I don't have a habit of peeking at the emperor's life, it's just that those little yellow doors are very interesting, they are the little eunuchs, stupid and stupid, and those embroidered messengers, martial arts are good, but people don't know how to be flexible. Su Lu thought about it, and there didn't seem to be anything particularly extravagant in the palace, and he didn't know how these rumors spread.

Ah Xue wanted to ask, Su Lu shook his head, and said: "I'm a little child, where can I know how many palace secrets, I don't know how long ago when I was a child, I, now I hope that my father can come back as soon as possible, and choose a better girl for me to marry, it will be best to mix things up in this life." ”

Ah Xue looked a little sad, sighed, and said, "You can still wait to get married, I'm like this, I just hope to raise more money, and I can redeem myself to go home to honor my father." ”

The two were silent, the night that had been talking became a little awkward, the air became a little dull, and the young boys and girls looked at the sky blankly with their own hearts.

After sitting for a while, Ah Xue climbed down the city wall and said to Su Lu: "It's not too early, I have to go back, no matter how late it is, it will cause gossip, Su Gongzi will also return early, don't be wet by the cold dew." ”

Su Lu was speechless, just nodded, watched Ah Xue leave, and waited for Ah Xue to go away, and was a little uneasy, so he opened a distance and followed, watching Ah Xue enter the Baihua Building, and then turned around and walked towards Su Mansion.
