Drunken Nanling (2) (Revised)

The second day is the annual Muxi Festival in Nanling, often it is osmanthus in October before opening, but Nanling four seasons such as spring, osmanthus does not wither in winter, this festival in addition to countless various lanterns on the streets and alleys, but also nine miles of fragrance, the important thing is that Nanling up and down the age of 16 men and women can invite their favorite each other to taste their own refined osmanthus wine under the moon, if the invited wine is willing to drink with themselves, and feel drunk in seven cups, then soon after can send the marriage book to the home of the person. Whether these seven glasses of wine can make people drunk has long been explored, and the most important thing is whether both parties are intentional, often not afraid of alcohol can not be intoxicating, and the most afraid is that people do not want to get drunk.

Nanling folk customs are open, marriage events are different from Zhongzhou and other places, unless it is absolutely necessary, no matter what parents' orders, matchmakers' words, plus there is such a festival, parents rarely take the initiative to interfere in their children's private affairs. For thousands of years, the people of Nanling have been prosperous, and they have also benefited from this.

But at this time, the princess's mansion in the city had already made a pot of porridge, and the little maid said to the girl with a sad face in the mirror: "Your Highness, it's the first time I've seen you dressed up like this when the slave maid is so big." If Young Master Lin Xiao sees it, he will definitely be.. I'll be shocked. It's just that the princess is in the royal family, even if she makes a lifelong contract with Lin Xiao Gongzi privately, I am afraid that she will have to be approved by the king and queen often. ”

"The king loves the princess so much, what can't you get as long as the princess likes this Nanling? I think the incense powder should be more puffy, today the girls in the city will dress up themselves, asking for a wishful husband, His Royal Highness as the princess of Nanling Kingdom must be beautiful to be able to do it. The little maid Ah Qiu had already brought another set of dresses as she spoke. Su He Yi has been very favored since he was a child, and he is used to going to those young soldiers on weekdays, except for major occasions in the palace, he has not worn much skirts, not to mention this cumbersome skirt and a hairpin full of beads. From noon to now, Heyi has changed three sets of dresses and six makeup.

Ah Qiu then put a gilded cinnamon hairpin on the end of Soho's hair and compared.

"Ah Qiu, how come I've never seen this hairpin."

"The slave and maid don't know, someone sent it to the house this morning, probably which family loves the princess's grandson."

As twilight approached, Soho still wore a simple short coat when she went out, but she wiped some rouge on her face slightly, which looked very festive. Before leaving, in addition to the two jars of private brewing in the palace, she also brought a bow and arrow given to her by Lin Xiao, and the maids Ah Qiu and Fluttershy both said that she didn't go to invite wine, but more like hunting.

Su Heyi sometimes thinks that Lin Xiao is a prey, even if she runs faster, it doesn't matter, because she believes in her archery skills, but he is not.

The two of them have known each other since childhood, and they have almost grown up together, and in the eyes of others, they have long been regarded as a pair of two little guesses, although Lin Xiao does not object to others treating them as a couple, but he has never personally admitted his thoughts about Heyi.

When the two are together, they mostly ride horses and shoot arrows, chatting about the world, like a young couple of the same age, and you and I have never had anything like that. Father Lin is the palace in charge of the carriage and horses, he has also raised horses with his father since he was a child, and he met with Heyi because of a peerless horse.

When Su Heyi was eight years old, Xianyu suffered a heavy snowfall that was rare in a century, and the emperor of Zhongzhou, who had been married to Xianyu for decades, did not help at the moment, and the king had to endure the pain and offer his beloved golden horse, and sent people to send the horse to Nanling, willing to use this horse in exchange for some winter grain and cotton clothing.

Although Nanling is rich in grain and grass, but due to Zhongzhou's indifference, it is inevitable that there will be many incidents, and the king of Nanling does not want to have too much contact with him, and he originally wanted to reject this rare good horse.

But when this peerless horse with golden hair appeared in front of the palace, he was favored by the little princess Su Heyi at a glance, the monarch of Nanling has eight sons, but the daughter is only one Suheyi, and he is very favored by the king of Nanling on weekdays, and Nanling is known from top to bottom.

Since the baby daughter likes it, King Nanling immediately agreed to Xianyuguo's request.

After the Xianyu envoy left, the task of raising this horse naturally fell to Lin Xiao's father, Lin Xiao has seen a lot of good horses since he was a child, but he has never seen such a handsome BMW, and he already likes this horse for the first time, but because this horse is named by Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lin Father is afraid that something will go wrong, and he is personally taken care of on weekdays, and Lin Xiao is not allowed to get close to half a minute, he can only look at it from a distance through the fence.

It wasn't until one day that a few little eunuchs brought Su Heyi into the horse farm to name the horse, and Lin Xiao, who was outside the fence, saw that his father was not there, so he had the courage to ask: "Is this horse yours?" ”

Su Heyi turned to him and smiled at him when he heard the sound, "Of course."

At this time, Su Heyi's voice and smile made Lin Xiao still remember it fresh many years later, it was a beauty hidden in his heart that was difficult to speak, if he had to describe it, it would probably only be the new moon in the summer night that could be compared with it.

Lin Xiao stepped forward again and asked, "It's been here for a few days, I like it very much, can you let me touch it?" ”

Su He Yi looked at the boy in front of him, who was not a few years older than himself, thought for a moment and said to him, "If you really like it。。。。。 I can give it to you, but you're going to trade your best with me. ”

As soon as these words came out, the little eunuchs around hurriedly stopped and said, "My Highness, what good things can he do for a hairy boy worthy of changing this horse." I heard that this horse only recognizes one master for the rest of his life, and handed it over to him to give him no chance to get it back. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, the servant heard that the second prince of Zhongzhou wanted to buy this good horse with a thousand taels of gold a few years ago, but King Xianyu refused and exchanged that kid's tattered things, which was too cheap for him."

Su Heyi insisted that since this horse father had already given it to him, of course, what to do with it was up to him. It was a novelty when she wanted it, and it would be even more interesting if she could trade it for something newer. Although the little eunuchs on the side regretted that it was not worth it for the little master to arrive, but the master is the master, no matter how old or young they are, seeing that the little princess has made up her mind, it is not good to say anything.

At this time, Lin Xiao couldn't believe that there was such a stupid person in the world, and such a stupid person was still a princess. I couldn't believe that this kind of good thing would fall on me for no reason, so I opened my mouth and opened my eyes wide, and hurriedly said to Heyi, "You are not allowed to regret it." ”

Su Hoyi raised his little face and said firmly: "I will never regret it." ”

Lin Xiao quickly ran back to the room, and after a while, he took out a small black wooden bow and arrow that was nearly twice as small as a normal bow and arrow, and said to Su Heyi breathlessly: "This is a gift from my father on my birthday last year, I heard that it is still made by craftsmen from Yingzhou, although it is not as good as your horse's treasure, but it is indeed my best thing." ”

Lin Xiao didn't lie to her, although there are many skilled craftsmen in Yingzhou, few things can be passed down to the world, and most of the treasures were transported to Zhongzhou after the battle decades ago. Although this small black wooden bow is light in his hand, it is very stable when used, and it is easier to hit the target than ordinary bows and arrows.

Su Heyi took the bow and arrow and gestured around, and was very satisfied, turned to look at Lin Xiao and said, "Deal." ”

Lin Xiao stepped forward and touched the horse's head and said, "Ah Xing, I will be your new master in the future." ”
