This day is April 16, the spring is harmonious, the breeze is breezy, the flowers are red and the grass is green, and Vientiane is new. In Luoyang City, on the Dachangqiu Mansion, just after this time, I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy who had pushed the door out of the house, rubbed his eyes, but remembered today's events, and felt a hundred times more energetic. ran to the front of the other room, and knocked on the door repeatedly, "Brother Zhong, are you up?" Let's go call Sister Yan! ”

But I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy flashing out of the courtyard, with a dark and strong body, it was Zhao Zhong, and said with a smile, "Little master, I have already woken up, let's go and call me sister." ”

Cao Song applauded repeatedly, and the two came to Zhao Yan's room, only calling the door softly, and after a while Zhao Yan came out to open the door, Cao Song saw Zhao Yan's eyes with red threads, and said with concern, "Sister Yan, didn't you sleep well last night?" Today, Brother Zhong and I wanted to find you to go to the suburbs, but ...... Yes"

Zhao Yan saw Cao Song's pitiful appearance, obviously he wanted to go out for a spring outing, but he couldn't bear to beg again because he didn't sleep well. My heart moved, "In two days, I will marry Brother Zhi, and I don't know when I will be able to see my brother again, goodbye...... Brother ......" only turned the word "brother" in his heart, and with unspeakable love and tenderness in his heart, he came over and stroked the two buns tied up on Cao Song's head, and said softly, "Sister Yan also wants to go out for a spring outing with Song'er, let's go after breakfast." ”

Cao Songle clapped his hands straight and said, "Sister Yan is the best for Song'er!" After that, the three of them went to tidy up their makeup and hair, had breakfast, brought some dry food and money, and went out of the house.

But seeing the three of them walking out of several streets, Zhao Zhong hired a carriage at the corner of the alley, so that the groom did not have to follow, Zhao Zhong drove by himself, and the three of them went out of the city. It turned out that since the last time Zhao Zhong mistakenly thought that Zhao Yan was interested in Cao Song, and Cao Song's affection for Zhao Yan was even more self-evident, he wanted the two to get along alone, so he drove outside.

Zhao Yan looked puzzled and asked Cao Song why the three of them didn't take the carriage in the house to go out of the city. Cao Song smiled and said, "I only told Uncle Cao Fu that the three of us went to the market to buy some things, if it was said to be out of the city, Uncle Cao Fu would definitely follow us, and then his legs and feet would not be dexterous, how could we have a good time." Cao Song said with a smug face, and was overjoyed to achieve his own plan.

The three of them told some jokes in the car, laughing all the way, and in a blink of an eye they were out of the city, Cao Song asked in the car, "Sister Yan, where are we going out of the city?" ”

Zhao Yan looked at Cao Song with a soft expression, "Song'er will go wherever she wants." ”

But listening to Cao Song's voice, he said excitedly, "Sister Yan can go wherever Song'er wants, and Sister Yan has the final say!" ”

Zhao Yan sneered, thinking to herself, but she remembered the cave she fell into that day when she and Liu Zhi were in distress, and when she thought of her lover, she wanted to revisit the old place. Thinking of Xiahou'an talking about the rabbit garden, it is most common for girls to love birds and hares, so she said, "Song'er, Sister Yan heard that there is a rabbit garden to the west, and there are many rabbits, so let's go there to play......"

"Good! All right! Song'er also likes rabbits, so let's go. Saying that, Cao Song greeted Zhao Zhong outside the car and asked him to catch the car to the west of the city. Zhao Zhong was stunned, forgot to whip and turn, there happened to be a stone in front of the car, the car was bumped, the two people in the car fell, Cao Song asked, "Brother Zhong, what's wrong?" ”

"Young master, sister, let's not go west, I heard...... I heard that ......" Cao Song hesitated when he heard Zhao Zhong's voice, and said hurriedly, "Brother Zhong, what happened to the west?" ”

Zhao Zhong stopped the car, and only said after a while, "These days, I have heard people in the city say that the outside of the west of the city is not clean......

"What's not clean?" Cao Song didn't know what this "unclean" meant.

"That day, I went to Nanshi to buy something for the house, and when I saw a circle of people chatting, I leaned in to listen, and the person who spoke was a rich businessman surnamed Mu. He said that he came to Luoyang at night a few days ago, and rested in the middle of the night dozens of miles outside the west of the city, and saw someone poking his head out of the grass, he was startled, thinking that he was also in a hurry, so he dared to greet him, but the man ignored him, and only walked towards him, staggering. When the man got closer, the rich merchant saw the man's face clearly in the moonlight, but saw ......" Speaking of this, he didn't feel a breeze blowing, but it made Cao Song shiver, but he couldn't help asking, "What do you see?" ”

But when he saw that the man's cheeks were sunken, his eyes were protruding, his face was pale, and his expression was stiff, like a dead man, and the rich merchant was so frightened that he was so frightened that he was busy crawling up the official road, but the man still walked towards him. The strange thing is that although the two seem to be getting closer and closer, the man can not catch up with the rich merchant, and it didn't take long for the sky to shine, and when he saw that there were pedestrians on the official road, the rich merchant hurriedly crawled to ask for help, and when he came back to see, he saw that the terrible man was gone. The wealthy businessman surnamed Mu only felt that he had encountered a ghost, and was so frightened that he hid at home for three days before going out. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan was already a little frightened, but Cao Song was younger than her, she was afraid that she would show her fear Cao Song would be even more frightened, so she forced her composure, but she couldn't help but hold Cao Song in her arms.

Who knew that Cao Song in his arms giggled and said, "What should I be, is it a ghost?" Brother Zhong, you are walking with the guys in the teahouse, and they love to make up these ghost stories to relieve the tea drinkers' boredom. Somehow, Cao Song has never been afraid of these ghosts since he was a child, and some of the other children were so frightened that they cried, but the more he listened, the happier he became.

"Little master, what I said is true!" Zhao Zhong was anxious when he saw that Cao Song didn't believe it.

Zhao Yan suddenly said, "Yes, this news was spread by Liang Ji looking for someone, I heard Uncle Xiahou say that Liang Ji hid two towers in the city, and he didn't want people to know, so he made up this story to scare people away, and he didn't dare to approach the tower." Thinking of this, there was no longer fear in my heart, and I said naughtily, "Brother, I think Song'er is right, if Uncle Cao doesn't look for you to do things one day, you can go to the tea shop to help." ”

Cao Song saw that Zhao Yan was helping him speak, and he was even more complacent, Zhao Zhong saw that he couldn't resist the two of them, shook his head and sighed, so he could only drive the carriage to the west, but he was extremely slow.

In the carriage, Zhao Yan said, "Song'er, how to memorize the homework left by Mr. a few days ago, Sister Shunyan has marked it on the book for you, and do you understand the truth that Cao Di said to Lu Zhuanggong in "Zuo Biography"?" Zhao Yan always felt that she owed too much to the Cao family, so she tried to make up for it, just finished making clothes a few days ago, and wrote and scratched in Cao Song's textbook these days, Cao Song didn't like to read, so she wanted to make it easier for him to learn.

But seeing that Cao Song had frowned, she said to Zhao Yan coquettishly, "Sister Yan, we only come out to play today, don't you want to be the son of Qi Huan and Jin Wengong, okay?" I'll teach me when you get back. Seeing Cao Song like this, Zhao Yan's heart softened, and her finger pointed at Cao Song's forehead and said, "You! But he didn't do any more homework, and the two talked and laughed again.

"Childe, girl, come down!" A few people said that they were going to the green, so they couldn't always sit in the carriage, so they stopped the carriage, and the three of them went out for a walk, only to feel that the spring in the mountains and wilderness was strong, and the birds chirped, which was really in vain for this good spring.

The three of them walked for a while, it was almost noon, they all felt hungry, so they sat on the grass, took out dry food and ate some indiscriminately, after eating Cao Song saw Zhao Yan's tired face, remembered that she didn't seem to sleep well last night, and persuaded, "Sister Yan, you can sleep for a while, Brother Zhong and I are watching by your side." ”

Zhao Yan smiled and nodded to Cao Song in thanks, but she was a little tired, so she found a big tree, leaned under the tree and closed her eyes. But after a while, Zhao Yan only felt something pressed on her legs, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Cao Song had fallen asleep on her lap, and she didn't feel dumb and smiled, "He said to show me, and he fell asleep." ”

saw that Zhao Zhong also whispered in front of her, "Yan'er, you can sleep for a while, I think the little young master only thought about today's trip last night and didn't sleep much excitedly." Zhao Yan nodded, she was afraid of waking Cao Song, so she let him lie on her lap, closed her eyes again, and said in her heart, "It turns out that I wasn't the only one who didn't fall asleep last night." Soon he fell into a deep sleep......

In my dream, I dreamed of yesterday's scene in the Liwu Marquis's mansion......

It turned out that yesterday, April 15, when Zhao Yan and Liu Zhi discussed remarriage, Zhao Yan hurried to the Liwu Marquis Mansion in the afternoon, and after entering through the side door, she couldn't help but be so shocked that she covered her mouth with her hands.

I saw that the Liwu Marquis Mansion was already covered with red and hung colors, the layout was jubilant, the surrounding flowers and trees had also been covered with red silk, a group of house slaves were busy in the house, carrying boxes one by one, and carrying wooden frames, and there was no movement in the house at all from outside the house. Zhao Yan was moved, and she just wanted to hug her brother Zhi, but she couldn't see Liu Zhi around, so she looked around in the house.

When I walked to a big house on the west side of the house, I saw a servant painting the walls of the big house with a brush, only to paint the wall with a light red and pink color, and the wall revealed a touch of fragrance, which made people feel calm.

On one side, I saw that someone in this room was pointing and instructing the people to come and go, and when I saw that it was Liu Zhi, I shouted "Brother Zhi" and walked into the house. Liu Zhi heard Zhao Yan's voice and looked back and smiled, "It's not good, let you see it first." ”

"What made me see it first?" Zhao Yan was puzzled.

Liu Zhi walked over and hugged Zhao Yan's shoulders and said with a smile, "It's the 'Jiaofang Palace' that I prepared for Yan'er, but I personally decorated it for Yan'er!" "Quite proud.

Zhao Yan said "ah", she knew from the book that the queens of the Han Dynasty such as Zhang Yan, Dou Yifang, Chen Ajiao, and Wei Zifu all lived in the Jiaofang Palace in the Weiyang Palace, which was the queen's dormitory. Liu Zhi said so, then this big house is the new house where the two got married, and he couldn't help but be ashamed.

Liu Zhi was also happy when he saw the beauty like this, and asked, "Do you know why it's called 'Jiaofang Palace'?" ”

Zhao Yan shook his head slightly, but he didn't know, Liu Zhi smiled and said, "Yan'er, you see that the servant painted the wall, and the slurry applied was made by mixing the mud water after the pepper tree flowers were crushed, and there are three benefits to painting the walls with this pepper flower slurry." ”

"What are the three benefits? Brother Zhi, you can tell me soon. Zhao Yan was happy in her heart, and her words were also cheerful.

"The first thing is that the smell of this pepper flower is fragrant, and the smell makes the body healthy and refreshing; The second is that this pepper flower can prevent insects from the cold, and it can be applied to this wooden house, so that the insects cannot be eaten, and the room will be warm; The third ......" said this, but Liu Zhi looked at Zhao Yan with a wicked smile.

Zhao Yan was also curious, "What is this third benefit?" ”

"This third thing, this pepper has many seeds, it means more children and more blessings, we live in this pepper house, you will definitely give me a lot of princes, haha." After speaking, Liu Zhi laughed, but Zhao Yan was ashamed and angry, and scolded Liu Zhi for not being serious.

Then Zhao Yan sighed lightly, "This pepper room is so good, but it can only live for one month, doesn't Your Majesty want Yan'er to enter the palace?" ”

"Haha, silly girl, I want to build a better Jiaofang Palace in my mother's palace, are you afraid that there will be no place for you to live?" Liu Zhi said with a smile.

"Really?" Zhao Yan was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course it's true! Yan'er, you don't need to do anything, this mansion has phoenix crowns, embroidered robes, red shoes, and jade jewelry, all you need, you just need to be your bride and send yourself, haha. At that time, I will dispose of a big red sedan chair at the corner of Yong'an Alley two streets away from Caofu, you just need to sit in it, cover it with red and raise your head, and then eight sedan chair drivers will carry you into the house......"

Zhao Yan hugged Liu Zhi tightly, and her heart was full of joy......

When I returned to Cao's Mansion at night, I was still thinking about my newlywed, and I couldn't sleep all night.
