Chapter 338: The Ring and the Wine
Good things often lead to extra busyness. The New Year is approaching, and Guo Shao is not straight, but the schedule is full. All he had to do was to visit relatives, friends, and court colleagues (such as Li Yuan'er's house, Guo Shao had to accompany her on a trip during the New Year).
There is a large area of white flat land in the back garden of Guo's mansion...... It was a lake, frozen underneath and covered with snow, and it was what it is now. Fu Ermei pointed to the place under a dead tree, looked left and right seriously, and said to the black strong woman holding the hoe next to her: "This is it, dig it." ”
"When did you bury it?" Guo Shao said curiously.
Fu Ermei smiled: "Last year, I buried several jars of wine here as soon as I got married. ”
Guo Shao said casually: "It would be better if it could be popular to drink fruit wine." At present, most of the Li people in the north still do not have enough to eat, and it is a pity that the grain is used to make wine. ”
After hearing this, Second Sister Fu turned her head and said softly: "Husband thinks so much...... I just wonder how I can dig up the ice from the lake and hide it in the cellar so that it can be of great use in the summer! ”
Guo Shao said with a smile: "The second sister is really far-sighted. ”
At this moment, several jars appeared when the earth was lifted. Fu Ermei squatted down and came out with a jar, Guo Shao hurriedly went up to help. I saw that her jade-white fingers were stained with dark brown soil, which looked extremely abrupt.
"You are not allowed to dig without my will...... It's better not to say it. Second Sister Fu told the strong woman who was helping, "These altars are specially prepared for the Queen Mother." ”
When the strong woman heard the Queen Mother, she was stunned, and hurriedly said that she would not say a word to death.
Guo Shao jokingly said: "It seems that your sister is a little closer." Fu Ermei smiled: "That's because only my sister likes to drink sweet things, so I deliberately put sugar in these jars; Nothing else was sweetened. ”
He memorized this detail...... In retrospect, he and Fu Jinzhan often said abstract things when they spoke, and rarely asked her the simplest things like what she liked to eat and what she hated.
Guo Shao and Fu Ermei prepared special gifts, and immediately went out to the palace to see the Queen Mother. Fu Ermei's statement that she chose this time is: "I usually don't go to visit relatives before the year, because the people who come to the door before the year are all to collect debts; I didn't go until I passed the New Year's Pass. However, there are too many places to walk around in the first month of the husband, and my sister is from her own family, so she can arrange it before the year and save a day. ”
Guo Shao couldn't help but laugh when he heard the "door-to-door debt collection".
He's in good shape right now, but he only occasionally feels a little guilty and doesn't figure it out. So he can still laugh often, and laugh very happily.
The two entered the palace, met Fu Jinzhan and were left to eat in the dining room of Jinxiang Hall at noon.
Fu Ermei went to the Long Live Hall to accompany her sister first, Guo Shao was a male relative, so she had to stay in the Jinxiangdian restaurant to drink tea and wait. This restaurant is the most exclusive restaurant that Guo Shao has ever seen, and it is very rich and elegant.
The magnificence is the furnishings seen in front of you, the delicate yellow drapery, the spotless brass lampstand, against the goose yellow brilliance, the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall Guo Shao is really not very expert, I don't understand but at first glance it is very precious and powerful, the wood of the table and stool is painted very exquisitely, and the ceramic cups on the table are snow-white Cheng Liang, and it is a specially customized tribute at a glance. But such a floating place is very quiet and quiet, and the palace maid standing at the door not only did not speak, but also did not even make a sound...... It's like being in the middle of the night, quiet and elegant.
Guo Shao waited for the Fu sisters to go to the banquet, because it was too quiet but a little restrained, so he pretended to be very expert and watched the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with great interest...... In fact, he felt in his heart that the appearance of this lady alone seemed to be a little ugly.
…… Fu Jinzhan changed into a dress, and a folded red jacket skirt was placed next to her. was about to put on the trousers first, but suddenly found that his legs were very beautiful, snow-white slender and tight, and the fat and thin lines were just right.
She stepped out of the curtain and saw her second sister fiddling with her jewelry in front of the dresser. stepped forward and took the second sister's hand: "Let's go...... Your hands are so cold. ”
Second Sister Fu whispered, "What's that?" My husband said that my hands are cold and my heart is warm. ”
After hearing this, Marigold showed a very reluctant smile on her face, pretended to joke, and just walked two steps, she found that Fu Ermei was wearing a ring on her left ring finger. Although Marigold is in daily contact with the military and political affairs, her mind still inevitably loves to pay attention to these gadgets. After a casual glance, he said, "I have some rings with beautiful gems here, and you can pick one in a while, and the gold ones are not rare." ”
Fu Ermei smiled: "I like to wear this, my husband gave it to me." ”
Marigold was even more inexplicably blocked in her heart, so she said angrily: "It's really stingy, how much gold is so small?" ”
Second Sister Fu didn't seem to understand Marigold's mood, and thought it was a joke, so she said: "He said that those gems are just stones and useless, and only gold is called at any time...... It's called hard currency, and it can be exchanged for money. People rise and fall in the world, and if one day it falls, gold can more or less cope with the emergency. ”
Marigold's eyebrows were raised, her vermilion lips were white, and she snorted softly between her teeth: "Will the people of the Fu family fall to that point?" At that point, you won't have a chance to exchange gold for money, and you will definitely become a prisoner. ”
"That being said." The second sister said softly, "But I like him to say this, it's quite stable." Bit by bit of steady accumulation, I feel very relaxed by his side, and I don't have to be afraid of anything I encounter. ”
The two of them talked as they reached the dining room. Guo Shao came up and bowed: "The minister greets the Queen Mother." ”
Fu Jinzhan pretended to look at him coldly, his tone was not shocked, and his tone seemed to be a good word, but in fact it was just a polite and polite word, "Today is a family banquet, so there is no need to be polite." ”
Guo Shao said again: "Empress Dowager Xie." ”
When the ladies of the palace came up to enjoy the food, a woman brought the wine jar that had been wiped clean of the soil...... The jar of wine given by Fu Ermei was then filled with a small glass pot. Fu Jinzhan waved his sleeves slightly, and they bowed and retreated.
Fu Jinzhan personally picked up the glass pot and poured wine for them, and said, "You will be guests today." ”
Second Sister Fu said with a smile: "I specially put sugar in this jar, is it delicious for the eldest sister?" ”
Marigold picked up the glass cup, took a sip lightly, and said with a smile: "Sweet, it's best to drink the second sister's wine." But now it's hard to get a taste. ”
"A treasure indeed." Guo Shao chatted casually, "But I know that there is a kind of cup that specializes in drinking precious and good wine, and the glass cup is poured with a high leg, and a flat surface is used as the bottom of the cup. ”
Fu Jinzhan looked at his face with a smile and said softly, "What kind of shape is that, why do you have to do it so strangely?" ”
Guo Shaodao: "It is said that the time and temperature of the best wine after opening should be just right; The fingers are hot and directly on the glass will affect the temperature of the drink. So a thin waist is specially used to hold the cup. ”
Fu Jinzhan covered his mouth lightly and smiled: "The person who came up with that thing must be an alcoholic, and he can still do it so meticulously after taking a sip of wine." ”
"It must be an alcoholic." Guo Shao smiled, "When an alcoholic feels that something is particularly precious and likes it very much, he will naturally do everything. When drinking, it is also quite delicate, and I take a sip lightly to let the tongue fully taste the taste of the wine, and then I am willing to swallow it. ”
He paused and glanced at Fu Jinzhan as if teasingly, and said softly: "The most desired thing, of course, has to be tasted with the tip of the tongue, isn't it?" ”
Fu Jinzhan paid attention to Fu Ermei from the afterglow, and only felt that her cheeks were hot, but she had to make a serious appearance with fear, which was really a little uncomfortable; She thought about it a little along with Guo Shao's meaning, and even her body was hot, as if a goose feather was gently sweeping on her body, but it was not light or heavy, which made people a little flustered.
He took a sip of his breath, his face intoxicated. Second Sister Fu looked at him with interest: "What did the husband taste?" ”
"The sweetness seems to be a little heavier, and it's not much like drinking sugar water." Guo Shao said helplessly, "But the fragrance is still very good." ”
Second Sister Fu couldn't help laughing, and after a while, she thought about it, turned her head and bowed, and whispered: "I have a strange feeling, every time my husband sees the eldest sister, it is extra different. ”
Fu Jinzhan felt slightly nervous in her heart, and when she looked at Guo Shao, she saw that a trace of discomfort flashed on his face. Guo Shao asked: "Your eldest sister is the Queen Mother after all, of course I am different in front of the Queen Mother." ”
The second sister shook her head and said, "Maybe I'm thinking nonsense. ”
Fu Jinzhan observed the second sister carefully, and found that she was smiling, and soon continued to talk and laugh, so she was a little relieved...... Guo Shao too, what are you doing in front of your second sister?
The three of them were in a quiet room, talking and laughing. The voices of the Fu sisters are particularly good, and the voice of the marigold is even more tactful, and this exquisite dining room seems to be infused with soul and becomes extra wonderful.
Guo Shao was embarrassed to chew in such an elegant environment, and he was half full. After the ladies had cleaned up the table, they continued to chat and discuss the afternoon's pastime. At this moment, Fu Ermei's face was slightly embarrassed, and she walked up to Jinzhan and whispered a few words.
Fu Jinzhan said softly: "You go, you know where it is, didn't you live in the palace for more than a month before?" ”
The second sister went out quietly, leaving Guo Shao and Fu Jinzhan sitting at the table, looking at each other. Guo Shao suddenly asked in a low voice, "What did the second sister do?" ”
Fu Jinzhan said: "She told me that she was not feeling well. ”
As she spoke, she gently lifted the golden spoon in her hand to the ground with a "clang" sound. There was no one else in the dining room, Guo Shao got up to pick it up, Fu Jinzhan also got up, and gently lifted the skirt, the thick jacket skirt was easy to lift, revealing the jade white small ankle and a small piece of skin on the calf, and the other hand also fought to pick it up, and the voice became more and more gentle: "I'll come......"
