Chapter 379: Sister and Brother (1)
The brightly lit splendid palace is as warm as spring, a small square table is placed in the middle of the hall, there are not many dishes on it, only less than ten exquisite side dishes, Dong Guifei and Jia Yidao each sit on one side. Jia Rudao only glanced at it and saw that these dishes on the table were basically all his favorite foods on weekdays, at least the ones his predecessor loved to eat.
There were no palace maids and eunuchs waiting in the hall, and even Dong Songchen was kicked out of the door by Jia Guifei. In the huge hall, only the two sisters and brothers sat next to each other. The seats of the two are not arranged according to the priority of respect and inferiority, and everything seems very random.
It's a family feast.
"Like, taste it while it's hot. My sister hasn't cooked in years, and I don't know if it's to your taste. Jia Guifei's emotions have calmed down a lot at this time, but the joy and warmth revealed in her beautiful eyes can't be concealed no matter what.
At this moment, talking about cooking for the first time in these years, it is obvious that Jia Guifei is a little lacking in confidence in her heart, and she looks at Jia Guidao with some apprehension.
Although when he first saw the more than ten side dishes on the table that looked very delicate but were obviously very different from the meals coming out of the imperial kitchen, Jia Rudao already had some guesses in his heart that these small dishes would be cooked by his sister, and at this moment, when he heard Jia Guifei say it herself, confirming the guess in his heart, Jia Rudao felt inexplicably that his eyes were a little sour.
With Concubine Jia's status today, if she didn't love her younger brother very much or even like a mother, she might not have the opportunity to cook in this life.
Picking up the chopsticks, Jia Rudao picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it in his mouth, lowered his head and chewed slowly.
"What? Isn't it delicious? It's all my fault, I haven't cooked for so many years, I shouldn't have to make these things indiscriminately, don't eat them if they don't taste good, I'll call the imperial dining room back to Cai. Jia Guifei hurriedly got up while blaming herself, obviously wanting to order the imperial dining room to reorganize a table of meals.
"Sister, it's delicious! It's just that because it's so delicious, I don't want to open my mouth. Jia Rudao hurriedly swallowed the green vegetables in his mouth, grabbed Jia Guifei and said softly.
The moment she turned around, Jia Guifei seemed to see that her younger brother, who was becoming more and more unfamiliar, seemed to have a flash of crystal in her eyes, and then looked closely, but only saw Jia Guidao's clear eyes like jade, looking at herself quietly, as if the crystal that flashed just now was just an illusion. If it weren't for Jia Yidao's equally reddish eyes.
"Sister, you can also sit down and eat." Jia Rudao looked at Jia Guifei and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll eat too." Jia Guifei hurriedly sat down again, and the first thing she did when she picked up the chopsticks was to pile up the small bowl in front of Jia Yidao into a mountain in a moment.
"It seems that in a few **** years, I will go south to Guangzhou."
"Hmm."
"Have you ever prepared everything?"
"Hmm. It's all set. ”
"But there is still something missing, I asked the palace to prepare for you to bring it, it is a long way to go, and Ruoxi ......"
"Sister." Jia Rudao raised his head and looked at Jia Guifei, who had never eaten a bite of food, but just kept adding bricks and tiles to the hill in front of him and talking without a stubble, and said softly: "Sister, everything is well prepared, and my brother-in-law has given a lot of things for anything missing, and the boat is almost unloadable." You can take good care of your body in the palace and take care of my nephew. If you have nothing to do, you can go out for a walk, don't make these things for me in the future, the oil smoke is too big, and your body and bones still need to rest well. Also, sister, if you have anything to say, just say it, our sister and brother don't need to shy away from anything. ”
From the first time he saw Jia Guifei, Jia Yidao had already felt that his sister must have something to say to him today, but he didn't know how to say so. Moreover, what Jia Guifei wanted to say, Jia Rudao probably guessed it in his heart. There are also some words, on the way here, Jia Yidao has already thought about it, and wants to have a good relationship with his sister.
Whether he admits it or not, at least in his heart at this moment, Jia Rudao has already admitted this sister.
Hearing Jia Yidao's words, Jia Guifei hesitated for a while: "It seems to be Dao, my sister is not good at interjecting in the military affairs, but I thought that you are now in the imperial court, in a second-class position, and befriend Meng Shuai, and the prime ministers are also polite to you, and the official family is even more polite to you, and you are relying on your right-hand man, so my sister can't figure out why you have to travel thousands of miles to a remote place like Guangdong." You are in the capital, my sister can often see you, Guangdong and Lin'an are so far apart, it is an unfamiliar place, it seems to go to be an official, in case someone obstructs, what should I do? Now that you and my sister and brother depend on each other, if something happens to you, what should you do with your sister? ”
Speaking of this, Jia Guifei was already with tears in her eyes, obviously extremely emotional.
"Sister, I know you care about me. In fact, even if you don't tell me this today, I will talk to my sister about it in detail before leaving Lin'an City. Jia Rudao put down his chopsticks and looked at Jia Guifei. My sister is in this deep palace, so she must not be very clear about the current situation. Now, under the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, it has long been an internal and external trouble. ”
"This, my sister has also heard some mention from the official family, but wasn't it because you and Meng Shuai defeated the Mongols in Xiangyang City before?"
Jia Rudao sighed secretly in his heart, his sister was in the deep palace, and she could know about the battle of Xiangyang, I am afraid that it was because she was in Xiangyang City at that time.
"The battle of Xiangyang, I just happened at the right time, mainly because my brother-in-law and Meng Shuai had a good plan." Jia Rudao said slowly, "Don't talk about the far, let's just say that the Lin'an Great Hunger not long ago, if my Great Song Dynasty is really prosperous, how can such a thing happen in Lin'an City, where the capital is located?" There is hunger on the road, and the matter of eating is really not just a rumor. ”
"Ahh
Maybe she just became a mother, and when she heard that Yi Zi was eating, Jia Guifei was obviously much more nervous than Lin'an's hunger.
"The battle of Xiangyang, the Mongols just took the initiative to withdraw for some reason, if it weren't for the providence of heaven, presumably Xiangyang City had fallen into the hands of Mongolia at this moment, and the Mongolian iron cavalry would have been able to cross the river south to Lin'an at any time, and it would be impossible for me to sit here and say these words to my sister."
Hearing Jia Nidao's words, Jia Guifei suddenly lost her face, grabbed Jia Nidao and looked up and down: "In the future, you are no longer allowed to act like this, there are countless capable people in the court, and it will not be your turn to lead the troops to fight in any case." ”
Jia Guifei's words made Jia Qidao laugh dumbly, and he really didn't know how to talk like this for a while.
He kind of understood, and reasoning with women really didn't make sense at all.
But looking at Jia Guifei's concerned eyes, Jia Rudao really didn't know how to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Okay, listen to my sister, I will definitely not personally lead the troops into battle unless I have to!" ”
"Good, this is my good brother!"
