The newly brewed peach blossom wine in spring is naturally the best wine. After using fresh petals, pressing and steaming, it is stored for three to five days, but it is an excellent taste.

This kind of peach blossom wine is the latest new product of Qingjiao Restaurant. After entering Chang'an City, it was really very popular. Although in the eyes of heavy drinkers, this is not what kind of wine, and it does not taste as refreshing. But among some literati and writers, and the daughters of boudoirs, it has become a new fashion. And since Empress Wei drank it and gave high praise, more and more people like this wine, and it is quite trendy among the upper class people in Chang'an.

The wine was personally brought over by Zhuo Wenjun from the suburbs of Qing. At this moment, she and her husband Sima Xiangru were sitting in the middle of a group of people, chatting and laughing with everyone. And their son Sima Mingzhu was running around on the grass, very lively.

As a doctor in the imperial court, Sima Xiangru has already grown a beard, and three strands of ink hair are floating on his chest, adding a bit of stability and elegance. More than ten years ago, his talent was broadcast all over the world, and now he is in the court, and several long articles written in addition to government affairs are majestic and magnificent, and he is deeply loved by Emperor Liu Che, and has become the head of the younger generation of Chinese sects.

He came this time, but he was sent by the emperor to participate in the preparation of the opening ceremony of Chang'an College. But it was just the right time, followed by the outing on the north slope of Zhongnan Mountain, with his beloved wife and children, temporarily farewell to the hardships of the case, enjoy the breeze and greenery, and couldn't help but feel good.

"It's not easy for the two seniors to work hard in the past few years to help my righteous brother finally do this! Such a glorious event is truly admirable. Changqing is not talented, today I will borrow this glass of water and wine to show respect! ”

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine cup in his hand first, and his demeanor was very respectful. He has been in contact with Yuan Zhao for many years, and he knows very well the inner thoughts of this person who has a brother-sister relationship with Wenjun, and he is really happy that the idea of building the most formal college in history that he talked about at Changle Plateau has finally come true today.

Master Father Yan and Dong Zhongshu laughed, and each drank the wine in their hands. After all, they are old and can no longer drink that kind of spirit, this kind of peach blossom wine is very suitable for their taste, the fragrance is soft, and it doesn't hurt to drink a little more.

At the bottom of the peach blossom tree, the wind is fragrant, and the contract is very pleasant. Yuan Zhao looked at these people gathered around him, and a sincere smile appeared on his face. The master father Yan and Dong Zhongshu, a pair of old guys who often quarrel with cows, the Sima family of three, several disciples Cui Hong, Lu Jun, Li Ling, Zhuo Yu, and Park Yonglie who have been working with him in Changle Plateau in the past few years, as well as Lingzhi, Su Xi and the sisters of the Ling family, Xu Le, who specially rushed back from the coast of the East China Sea, and Liu Ju, the crown prince from Weiyang Palace...... No matter what their identity is, as long as these people come to his place, it is as if they have become a family, and they talk and laugh freely, and he likes this feeling very much.

"Brother Yuan, next year at the latest, let Mingzhu come and follow you. You can't go back on what you promised earlier, hehe, he's very close to you! ”

Zhuo Wenjun smiled and watched her son Sima Mingzhu crawling around on Yuan Zhao's back, very naughty, she hurriedly reminded her. Mingzhu is more than four years old, although she is a little reluctant, but she has already discussed with Sima Xiangru on the way here, and she should put him by Yuan Zhao's side early, so that he can learn more knowledge.

Although Yuan Zhao felt that his side was about to develop into a "kindergarten", he still agreed very happily. It's a big deal to throw these small ones to Lingzhi and they will discipline them, and after a while, they will all be sent to Chang'an College, so that they can learn cultural knowledge first, and they can naturally teach them martial arts when they have time.

This is a gentle area at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and at the edge of this peach forest is a small piece of flat grassland. The new building belonging to Chang'an College is particularly conspicuous, on the shore of Weishui and south of the plateau.

Twenty or thirty people sat on the ground, and it was very lively. All kinds of exquisite dishes are naturally brought with you, plus freshly picked wild vegetables, such a picnic meal, but it is very atmospheric.

Wen Jun saw that Yuan Zhao readily agreed, and she was in a good mood. looked at the two young women who were whispering to each other next to Yuan Zhao opposite, one was beautiful and the other was gentle and amiable, and I couldn't help but secretly admire in my heart. Brother Yuan is blessed! The affection in the eyes of the two people for him can be seen by anyone. It's just that I don't know how he will achieve a bowl of water in the future, and no one will live up to it?

She has known Mrs. Su for many years, and she has grown up watching Lingzhi, and deep down she naturally hopes that Yuan Zhao will be better to Lingzhi. But Su Xi is really good, she has never shown a little princess in front of everyone, not to mention that their children have grown up together, maybe it seems a little difficult in the eyes of others, it shouldn't be a problem between them!

However, what she and everyone didn't know was that when Yuan Zhao's heart thought of these personal feelings at this time, he was indeed a little embarrassed.

Two years ago, he had already been crowned as a men's coming-of-age. tied his hair and crowned it, which marked that he officially became an adult, and he could marry a wife and have children and reproduce offspring. It was from that time that Lingzhi moved to Changle Yuan, and began to learn some management affairs of various industries with him, and took care of his daily life by the way.

Of course, Yuan Zhao knew what the meaning behind everyone's efforts to promote this matter was, and the rumors circulating in Chang'an City could naturally be heard on Changle Plateau. Whether it is the master father Yan, the housekeeper Yuan Yi, or the people in Fan Xue Lou, as well as Cui Hong and Lu Jun, they have regarded Lingzhi as his good match a long time ago. Although they are not exclusive to Princess Suxi, if this is mixed with the emperor's will, then there will inevitably be some uncertain factors, which is what makes everyone a little worried.

After all, even in Weiyang Palace, there are still queens and concubines in the main palace. If the emperor forcibly ordered Yuan Zhao to make Princess Suxi's status higher than that of Lingzhi, then it was obviously something that everyone did not want to see. But of course they wouldn't say it openly, so as not to make Yuan Zhao embarrassed and embarrassed.

In fact, Yuan Zhao's dilemma was not this, after all, it would take two years for personal matters to be mentioned, and it was too early to think too much about it, not to mention that he had already expressed his attitude in front of the emperor. For this reason, he did not hesitate to give up the right to go further in the court, and spent these four years of relatively peaceful time.

The person who embarrassed him was on the far side of the East China Sea, at the junction of the sea and the sky, on the archipelago called Dongying. Although he hadn't seen each other again in four years, he knew everything about her. Every time he looked in that direction, in the clouds to the east, he would clearly remember the moments of passion and tenderness that she had brought him.

It's a secret that no one knows for the time being. In the sachet in his bosom, close to his heart, there were two strands of hair, which had been given to him from the other side of the sea. That long strand of green silk was once wrapped around his fingertips on the night when they were happy, and now it is wrapped around his heart. And there is a small strand of soft, fine black shiny hair belonging to a child, tied with a red rope, quietly placed with the mother's green silk.

Who would have thought! At the beginning, I had a few pleasures with Liu Shuyunqiao, but I had a secret knot and a crystallization of love!

This is a gift that Yuan Zhao received on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony two years ago, and he doesn't know whether to rejoice or be surprised. When he listened to Yuan Shisan, who had returned from the East China Sea, reported on the fleet's eastward expedition to the sea, Wei Tuo, the personal guard master of the King of Huainan, handed him the sachet and letters made by the county lord himself, and Yuan Zhao knew that he already had a son in this world.

After learning the news, Yuan Zhao had a long period of sluggishness. Since coming to this era by accident, no matter what difficulties and dangers he encounters, he is confident that he can control it with his ability beyond the world's cognition, but only with such a child's affection, he doesn't know how to deal with it is the most appropriate. Now, on the distant islands of the East China Sea, that woman has willingly given birth to a child for him! There was some unexpected trepidation in his heart, and some joy that he had never experienced before.

This is the first little life in his life that is connected to his own flesh and blood, whether in that life or in this life. Thinking of her tenderness in the letter and the future she planned for their son, even Yuan Zhao had to admire the greatness of a woman as a mother. That woman wants to create a kingdom on the sea for her children!

After pacifying the Zhenfan Kingdom, Yuan Zhao gave them detailed information and pointed out the direction of the sea, and the team of ships formed by Yuan 13 and King Huainan set up headed towards the vast East China Sea. After two years, their flags were planted on the islands that passed through the sea from south to north, and finally the huge building ship anchored in the place marked by Yuan Zhao as the "Dongying Islands".

The climate is mild and the environment is beautiful. There are snow-capped mountains and picturesque seashores. According to the guidance of Yuan Zhao in the correspondence, a large number of minerals, silver mountains and copper mines were discovered one after another...... Perhaps, the establishment of a sea kingdom is really not a problem. The only thing Yuan Zhao is worried about now is how ambitious the Huainan County Lord named Liu Shu will be?

"Yuanhou, in three days, Your Majesty will personally come to Chang'an Academy to cut the ribbon. When the time comes, will you follow back to Chang'an? ”

His musings were interrupted. When Yuan Zhao raised his head, he saw Sima Xiangru's expectant eyes, and he finally asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
