Uncle He was sitting by the river fishing, he remembered, he seemed to have overslept, and he forgot to participate in the housewarming banquet of the princess of the country?

"Ah Xiang, I remember that I went to the princess's mansion, and I also gave the princess a big fish that day," Mr. He said with a smile while holding a fishing rod.

"Old Langjun, no, when Ah Xiang reminded you that day, you fell asleep again," Ah Xiang replied respectfully as she bent over.

"I see... I didn't go to Cheng Alas, that is, I sent a fish when I was dreaming, and I went anyway, no matter how much..."Uncle He grumbled and grabbed Bai Huahua's hair, with a little faintness in his old eyes, "How old am I?" ”

"Well, this... Lao Langjun is almost in his old age, eighty and four this year. Ah Xiang squatted down and half-knelt beside Uncle He, with a heavy face.

"Oh... Bring me wine, I'm going to drink until I'm drunk! Hehe, I can't bear the rest of the good Shaoguang! ”

"Yes, Ah Xiang will go!"

Wu Yueya fed snacks to the little white tiger and the little lynx, these two goods, their bodies have grown very fast recently, and they are also eating some slices of meat and jerky. But it's not bad to grow up, one was picked up in the snow, and the other was picked up in the mother's womb, which can be regarded as fate.

Outside the princess's mansion, two horses stopped, and two little girls came down, looking like they were thirteen or fourteen years old.

One was wearing a white skirt, with short bangs just to cover his eyebrows, and he walked tiptoeing, for fear of stepping on ants and other living creatures on the ground.

The other was dressed in a pink skirt, the skirt sleeves danced with the owner, holding the hand of the girl in the white dress, and running quickly to the swing in front of the princess's mansion, this thing she had seen when she came before, but at that time it was to celebrate the housewarming of the new princess, and she didn't care so much, and now she has the opportunity to come and see it, and she naturally wants to study it.

The two princess guards standing guard in front of the princess's mansion saw the two women sitting on the swing when the car got up and down, looked at each other, and the two walked towards the two gorgeously dressed women together.

When the eunuchs next to the two girls saw the guards of the princess's mansion coming, they first bowed their hands with a smile and saluted, after all, this princess who protects the country is a reward of five and a half, and as a subordinate to see the princess's personal guards, they still have to salute first, and then inform the identities of the two princesses.

When the two princess palace guards saw these eunuchs, they also bowed back, walked to the swing, bowed to the two princesses sitting on it, and said in unison, "I have seen the two princesses, please pay a penny each..."

"Huh?" Princess Quang Ninh turned her head and looked at the two sergeants, she was sure that she had heard correctly, "Why does it cost a penny to sit on a swing?" ”

"Princess, this is what the princess of my family requested, anyone who swings must pay a penny."

"That's a strange rule," Princess Quang Ninh beckoned to the palace maid who served her, and then paid the two sergeants two cents.

"How do you play this?"

Two sergeants, you look at me, I look at you, and when they were about to answer, they heard the voice of their own princess, and hurriedly got up and saluted the princess and handed her two copper coins.

"Well, you guys should retreat first," Wu Yueya walked over and looked at the two princesses.

These two, the pink skirt is Princess Li Xianxian of Guangning, and the white skirt is Princess Jingle Dugu Dieer, both of whom are teenage girls. I met as early as the housewarming banquet, and Wu Yueya felt that she was older than others, so she recognized a sister.

"I've seen Sister Yueya," Princess Guangning jumped off the swing and walked up to put her arms around Wu Yueya's arm.

"Hmm."

As soon as Li Xianxian approached, Wu Yueya smelled a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, looked at Princess Jingle who walked over slowly, said hello to Dugu Die'er, and the three of them chatted.

Wu Yueya asked them to sit on it and gently pushed them from behind. Swinging around is quite interesting, the butterfly was afraid that the skirt would fly, so she got off the swing shyly, and watched Wu Yueya and Li Xianxian swinging freely on the swing on the side, a little envious, so she secretly sat up and swung it again and then came down with a shy face.

Wu Yueya learned that the two of them were here to taste the stir-fried vegetables, and the stir-fried vegetables that day were so fragrant that they drooled just by looking at them.

"According to that, Die'er, you've been hungry at home for a few days, wouldn't that be a lot of saliva..."Wu Yueya teased Dugu Die'er after listening to Li Xianxian's story.

Dugu Die'er had been silent, but when she heard this, she raised her small chin, her face was slightly red after she understood, she pursed her lips and nodded towards Wu Yueya, and when she was sure that their eyes were not here, she took out a red date from her purse and chewed it in her mouth.

When they came to the princess's mansion, Wu Yueya asked them to bring the learned cook to the kitchen to report, and she led the two friends into the Tianci Pavilion and came to the small garden behind the pavilion, which was full of chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemums are blooming one by one, golden, white, and red, competing to bloom in the autumn sun.

"Wow, Sister Yueya, the backyard of your attic is actually full of chrysanthemums, it's so beautiful," Li Xianxian let out a happy laugh, threw herself into the chrysanthemum bush, smelled the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums, and touched the flowers, "This is so beautiful." ”

Dugu Die'er also stepped forward, squatted down, holding chrysanthemums in both hands, her little face was filled with a lovely smile, kissed in front of the flowers, smelled the fragrance of the flowers, closed her eyes and enjoyed it very much.

Wu Yueya didn't bother the two, sat on a chair in the yard, and quietly watched them walk among the flowers.

"Princess," Ye heard that the princess had summoned her, and hurriedly withdrew and followed Xiaochun to the Tianci Pavilion.

"Hmm," Wu Yueya got up and walked to the newly built kitchen in the yard, the stove here is different, there is a chimney, and it is not easy to smoke out of the fire, and the kitchen of the back house designed by Wu Yueya is such a design.

"Xiao Ye, you should be fine with calling it that," Wu Yueya rolled up her sleeves and washed the dishes with Ye.

"There's no problem, the princess decides, but these rough jobs are still slaves, princesses..."

"Hey, what's not a daughter, you guys, treat me like a baby." Wu Yueya was helplessly dragged away by Xiaochun and sat on a chair, "I'll cook the dishes later." ”

"Princess, those two are Princess Quang Ninh and Princess Jingle," Koharu asked, washing the cutting board and kitchen knife.

"yes, so I'm going to cook."

"Princess, when can we learn all the cooking skills, so that the princess doesn't have to go to the kitchen." Ye Shi changed to a basin of water and continued to wash vegetables.

"This, it's a big problem," Wu Yueya sat on a chair and basked in the sun leisurely, responding to Ye's family, looking at Li Xianxian who was giving Dugu Butterfly a flower, and admired it slightly in her heart, it was the good years of youth.

After cooking the meal, Wu Yue Aya left a bowl of each dish, so that Ye and Xiaochun could eat here, and they didn't have to go to the kitchen anymore, and they didn't have to be restrained.

On the second floor of Tianci Pavilion, there is a space similar to a small balcony, this building is designed by Xu Zhucheng, the space is wide and airy, and it is ventilated to the sun, Wu Yueya has lived for so long, and I have to praise this Xu Zhucheng, who can be the architect of the palace is also capable.

Sitting here to eat, you can enjoy the chrysanthemum fields below and the gardens in the distance. It's just that Li Xianxian and Lonely Die'er only have the burnt elbows on the table and the fried pickles and scrambled eggs in their eyes.

At first, Dugu Die'er sat on the chair very unnaturally, but when she smelled the fragrance of the dishes, her back straightened, and she picked up the food chopstick, which was no longer the current Sven appearance, and she forgot that she was not used to sitting on a chair.

After eating, Wu Yueya took the two of them around the house a few times, and by the way, let them tease and tease the little lynx. As for the little white tiger, he was a little unhappy, and when he saw two strangers coming, he directly avoided and returned to Wu Yueya's side.

"Princess," Yu Chaoen came over with a few people, saluted towards Wu Yueyan, and when he found that there were two other princesses, he saluted again, "I've seen Princess Guangning, Princess Jingle!" ”

Li Xianxian responded without being polite, and walked to the side with Dugu Die'er, she recognized Yu Chaoen, this guy used to be a little follower of Gao Nei Province.

"What's the matter?" Wu Yue Aya asked.

"Princess, this is a pair of jade food chopsticks sent by Li Youxiang, I hope that these three cooks can learn to stir-fry in the princess's mansion," Yu Chaoen said and asked the three of them to salute Wu Yueya, and then handed over the exquisite wooden box.

"Chopsticks?" Wu Yueya opened the box and picked up this pair of exquisitely carved jade chopsticks, the chopsticks have clear threads on the head, it seems that they are made in this way to facilitate the pick-up of vegetables, and she is slightly surprised in her heart, this Li Linfu is really extravagant, eat with jade chopsticks.

"Well, got it, let them go to the kitchen and follow along." Wu Yue Ayafu looked at this pair of jade food chopsticks, the middle of the chopsticks is carved with animal patterns, and the head of the chopsticks is also carved with a font, which seems to be a green bamboo chopstick in the mountains.

"This Li Linfu is not a good thing, Sister Yueya, you have to be careful," Li Xianxian walked over and looked at Wu Yueya, who was observing the food chopstick.

"Emerald Chopstick!" At this time, Hua Chu'er poked out half of her head from the beam of the house, staring at the jade chopsticks in the little lady's hand, and her eyes were shining.

Wu Yueya raised her head, looked at Hua Chu'er who was winking at her, and threw the pair of jade chopsticks up, "I've given it to you!" I can't hide it with you anyway..."

Hua Chu'er deftly jumped out of the beam, caught the two chopsticks, landed lightly, held the chopsticks in the palm of her hand, close them to her eyes, carefully observed the fine carvings on them, and smiled, "Chu'er is welcome." ”

Wu Yueya looked at Li Xianxian and Die'er, who were a little surprised, and explained with a smile, "This guy is my maidservant, don't be surprised, that Li Linfu is really not a good person, I will pay attention, go, take you to the swing." ”

"Little lady, wait for me, I'm going too..." Hua Chu'er heard that she was going to swing, quickly put away the food chopstick, and followed behind.

At night, in a Manichaean distillery in the western city of Chang'an, the damp stone walls shimmered in the dim candlelight, and the smell of rotting rice husks filled the entire prison cellar.

The vents in the cellar occasionally brought in some fresh air, but it was also full of the smell of sake lees, and here, dimly damp and without seeing the light of day, several cardamom maidens were locked together, bought or robbed by the Manichaeans.

In the prison wall, a small voice sounded.

"What's your name? My name is Lan'er, believe me, it will be fine, we will be sold to a big family, be a maid, and live a good life..."A kind smile was on the delicate little face, and he smiled at his peers who had just been arrested.

"I... My name is Li Thirteen..."Li Thirteen hugged the girl tightly, sobbing slightly gratefully, and found a sense of security in his heart.

The sound of footsteps was especially clear in the dim environment, and the girls in the cell were curled up, covering their thin bodies with straw on the ground, and some of them desperately squeezed into the corner, they knew that the devil was coming.

The hoarse sound of the iron bars turning was sharp and screeching, and it rolled towards the girls in the prison wall, overwhelming them breathlessly. A thick arm reached in from the darkness and grabbed at a young girl next to Li Shisan, who was frightened and instinctively pushed Li Shisan up with tears in her eyes.

Li Shisan, who had suffered from external forces, broke away from Lan'er's embrace and watched the big hand slowly grab. Fear and the unknown seeped into her bone marrow, gradually controlling her trembling limbs.

At this time, Lan'er rushed forward without hesitation and knocked down Li Shisan, but was grabbed by a big hand and disappeared into the cell in an instant.

With a clatter, the bars slammed shut and let out a short sigh.

Li Shisan's teary eyes blurred and he looked into the gloomy cellar. Lan'er's voice crying and begging for mercy kept sounding, and finally gradually became choked. Eventually, the choking was gone, and all that was heard was the wild screams of beasts.

What Li Shisan saw in the gloom was an extremely desperate face, and a pair of eyes that were as dull as death.

At this moment, the sound of the cellar opening came from the top of the cellar, and a white-faced scholar walked in with a lantern, and the little Manichaean leaders who were ravaging the girls on the couch were all dressed and stood up and stepped aside.

Although Sikong Ming is a scholar, he is an old-fashioned Jianghu, squinting his eyes and examining the group of small leaders, he glanced at the naked body on the couch faintly, and did not say anything, walked to the front of the cell with the lantern, and used the candlelight in the lantern to illuminate the prison wall where the girls were kept, his shadow stretched outward like a devil, took out the steaming half of the roast chicken in his arms, and asked Li Shisan, who was distracted on the iron railing, lightly, "What's your name?" ”

The white-faced scholar's voice quickly died out, and the surroundings became silent again, Li Shisan came back to his senses, looked at the man who looked like he had a good skin with fear, smelled the fragrance of barbecue, and his voice was like a mosquito, "Li... Li XIII..."

"Well, Aunt Gongsun of Pingkangfang wants to accept apprentices, the price is quite high, saying that it is a bid of ten gold, little girl, your life is good..."
