Princess Yuzhen Yan Zhiying is the ninth daughter of the first emperor, her mother is Concubine Dou De, when she was three years old, her mother entered the palace to meet Emperor Wu and did not return, and then she and her brother, nine-year-old Yan Longji's four-year-old sister Yan Siying was adopted by Dugu Guifei.

After Yan Longji ascended the throne and became a saint, he doted on all his brothers and sisters, and the five brothers often slept together, talked all night, and cared for the younger sisters.

Yan Zhiying was crowned the lord of Xicheng County at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, and the princess Yuzhen was crowned with 1,500 households, and she was the first among all the brothers and sisters and nieces, and the first of the princesses.

Princess Yuzhen believed, studied under the warlock Shi Chongxuan as a teacher, and also sought the Tao in Yuan Danqiu, Sima Chengzhen and other Taoists, once married Zhang, the husband died early and became a monk for the Tao, the sage for its palace side of the Fuxing Fang to build the Jade Zhenguan.

Princess Yuzhen's deceased husband Zhang Ji was born in Jinshi, Princess Yuzhen also likes to make peace with Jinshi, Zhang said that Xianggong and Yao Chong had a gap, and he was helped to get rid of it. Every year, Princess Yuzhen and her brother Fan Xue Wang Ye of Qi will organize an elegant gathering and recruit Jingshi to drink banquets and poems.

At this age, I was greatly touched after hearing Wang Wei's "Yu Lun Robe" in Hedong, and I was also in love with Wang Shisanlang, who was white and beautiful in his beautiful style, and often visited friends with him.

Yesterday, Wang Wei's friends in the same department had a banquet, and during the banquet, Wei Erlang suddenly said that he didn't know how Dugu Saburo was free in Gongchuan, and Gao Shi smiled and said that he had to find a day to make a noise.

Wei Erlang then clamored that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, and tomorrow would be the day, and the snow day would be a day to visit friends. A group of Jinshi who were proud of the spring breeze immediately responded.

Princess Yuzhen had never seen this famous Far Eastern devil wolf, and the ten sins explored the flowers, so she asked to go with her, and all the jinshi agreed.

They are all young and strong people, and Princess Yuzhen has also arranged well, and several caravans with stoves set off early in the morning, and only arrived at the Gongchuan River ten miles south of Lantian in the afternoon.

Although the carriage and horses are tiring, when I enter this mountain gate, I suddenly feel clean and elegant.

After the snow, Mengcheng Pass is as white as the Heavenly Palace, Huazigang is steaming and misty, the ancient trees all over the mountain are like a crown of feathers, and a cleared Daiqing stone road leads directly to an ancient city ruins.

The jinshi walked forward with laughter, and Wei Erlang shouted loudly, "San Lang still doesn't welcome guests?" ”

Entering the ruins of the ancient city, the ruins of the broken wall are quite flavorful under the cover of snow, a group of people are shoveling snow for fun, half of them are half-armed short jackets and lack of crotch robes, they should be villagers in the mountains, and there are a few green robes and swords on the right, and when they see the hairpin on their chest, it is actually the hairpin of Lijingmen.

The Jinshi looked curiously at several lifelike snow sculptures of wild animals in the mountains, and a black-robed Putou scholar with an iron arm in his hand slipped off the snowdrift and laughed

"Pingming sweeps the path to recruit good guests, is there no Wen and Wei in the banquet"

"Okay, you Dugu Saburo, you escaped from the banquet, and you didn't prepare good wine to make amends" Wei Erlang also laughed.

This son is actually a well-known but hard-to-find new science detective flower Dugu Xinci.

I saw that although he was covered with a hood, his hair was faintly gray, his round-necked black robe also had snow stains, his trousers and short leather boots, and he held an iron shovel in his hand, which made him a nondescript mountain madman.

Dugu Xinci also ignored Wei Erlang's shouting, inserted the iron hammer into the snow, and arched his hand

"Wen Dalang, Gao Langjun, Wang Seventeen Lang, Du Langjun, Zu Langjun, Zhang Langjun, Lu Langjun, yo, Thirteen Lang, this is traveling with the United States?"

"Haha, Yang Langjun also worked hard to come to the countryside, this is Cui Langjun, it's really better to meet, Zhao Langjun, Pei Langjun, these days are a feast? Are you all fat? ”

Dugu Xinci gave up a circle, "Warmly welcome the Jinshi in the first year of Kaiyuan to visit the house"

"You will be funny" Wen Dalang laughed and scolded, and the Jinshi also responded with hip-hop.

"Is this Saburo's masterpiece?" Gao Shi and Du Juan and others watched the snow sculptures with great interest.

"A work of fun, not a hall of elegance" is lonely and humble.

"It's not bad," Wei Erlang dismounted and touched the snow sculpture tiger, "You won't entertain guests in this wilderness, right?" ”

"Haha, Nomura is simple, but there is still a place to shelter from the wind and snow, please go with you"

"San Lang's masterpiece is not finished yet, why don't you continue, wait for the beautiful scenery of the snow sculpture of Hualang" Gao Shi stopped with a smile.

"That's fine, Wei Erlang, you are also half the master here, take the guests to wash and change clothes" Dugu Xinci thought about it and ordered.

and called Zhongsun to ask him to carefully place all the Jinshi.

"Everyone, please feel free, you can treat this place as your own home, and then bring wine to confess the crime"

The Jinshi also said that it didn't matter.

Eighteen Jinshi took more than a dozen guards and maids, and nearly thirty people followed Wei Erlang and Zhongsun to Mengcheng'ao Mansion.

Wei Erlang smiled and scolded to lead the way, he and Wen Dalang also had their own courtyard here, but they only came to stay for one or two nights.

There is a stream in front of the Mengcheng Au house, there is a stable next to the stream, and there is a bamboo bridge on the stream, which is simple but wild. The stream is steaming hot, and the snow scattered on the bank is steaming crystal clear, which is very beautiful.

The appearance of the house is no different, the green tiles and white walls, but there is no snow on the green tiles, and the green pines around are also mottled with residual snow, which is far from the appearance of the white tower of his tree in the mountains.

Entering the courtyard, the feeling is different, there is mist in the courtyard, but gradually feel warm, the surrounding dwarf trees are lush and green, in the ice and snow like entering a fairyland.

Zhongsun is like a housekeeper in another business, take a few beautiful boys, take everyone to the wings, please freshen up, each room has a place to wash, a few boys from the courtyard well to bring hot spring water, respectfully invite everyone to take care of themselves.

Zhongsun Wuyi brought several robes to let everyone choose the right fit.

"This Tanhualang is quite Wei and Jin style" Princess Yuzhen Yan Zhiying did not clarify her identity, and at this moment she and Wang Wei chose a room to prepare for washing.

"This person is extravagant and informal, and he will be familiar with each other as before" Although Wang Wei is a happy person, he has a good impression of Dugu Xinci.

Dugu Xinci ignored the Jinshi who washed and went to carve the snowdrift with peace of mind.

Zhongsun Liu, the patriarch of another village, saw that there were no servants in the mountains, so he called a few ladies to help cook, and let the ladies who were familiar with the way go to the mountains to clean up by themselves, but stopped to watch the exquisite snow sculptures.

"I'm going to bother my husband again, kill two pigs today, and everyone will drink together" Dugu Xinci squatted on the snowdrift to repair a wild wolf that was howling in the sky.

Everyone cheered, Zhongsun Liu shook his head, this extravagant Far Eastern Marquis is too fond of losers.

"Far Eastern Hou's skills are exquisite, the snow is imaging, and the elegance is elegant."

"The words of the old man are to make people happy," Dugu Xinci also smiled.

"When a guest comes from the mountains, the Hou of the Far East will be happy, and if there is an order, another village will be happy to do it for him"

"Haha, a certain self will not be polite, hard worker, thank you with wine when the matter is over"

"A certain wish is also" Zhongsun Liu also has no objection.

"In the coming year, the barren mountains are about to be renovated, and the cultivation of plants still needs to be bothered by the old man, and the gains will be divided equally" Dugu Xinci suddenly talked about farming.

"It's disrespectful," Zhongsun Liu knew that this marquis didn't like to push, so he didn't need to say much.

"But along the river at the ferry, we need to build a few more elegant wine shops in the coming year," Dugu Xinci said.

"Eh, where does the Hou Ye say this, this place has always been clean, there are few tourists, the Hou Ye's guests have their own other entertainment, what is the use of a certain wine shop?"

"Not to mention the workshop on the barren mountain, the terraced fields also need a lot of labor in the coming year, it is this ferry that is built, along the Bahe River and the water scenery is quite elegant, the major colleges and scholars in Beijing are quite good for wild travel, and it is also convenient to build a few wine shops."

"Hou Ye's view is really lofty, in previous years, there were also boats against the river, but there was no ferry in Nomura, and no one stopped, now it is very different, Hou Ye reminded a certain like a Daigo ear"

"Polite" Dugu Xinci chatted and did his hands, and the progress was like a smooth flow.

"Master Hou's friends are all extraordinary people," the old man sighed again.

"They are all new science and technology scholars, Yan Tang Junyan" Dugu Xinci casually agreed, thinking about it and said, "I still have to bother the old man to send people to Lantian to buy a large number of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, well, choose some elegant, the more the merrier"

"Also, the literati are elegant, how can there be no harmony with poetry?"

"The old man also needs to keep some, there are more white walls in the wine shop, and the poetry of the scholars after drinking is prosperous, maybe it will leave a quatrain for the ages."

"Haha, quatrain for the ages? Hou Ye's poem is the quatrain of the ages: "The old man of the middle grandson is unscrupulous and flattering."

"The old man said that the strength of a certain person, a certain heart is quite happy" Far East Hou is also quite thick-skinned.

"It's just that he has been farming for a long time, and the operation of this wine shop still needs the guidance of the Hou Ye."

"What's so difficult about the wine shop? Renovation of two houses, white walls and wooden tables can be prepared, no need for exquisite dishes, camellia wild vegetables, wild game in the forest, fresh fish in the river, casual best"

"The soldiers in the city are all clothed and fed, and they can eat the habit?"

"Wild travel, naturally it is to find wild fun, not to care about the wind of the mountains and wilderness"

"What Master Hou said is teachable"

"However, there are many wine shops along the Bahe River, and if you want to stand out, you need to be distinctive"

"Another village and a deserted village, what are the characteristics?"

"Think about it, with it" Dugu Xinci picked out two pebbles in the snow and rubbed them twice, "Why don't you have another village featuring this?" ”

"Pebbles in the river?" The middle grandson was puzzled.

"What does my husband think of this pebble?"

"Uh, old and clumsy"

Dugu Xinci put two pebbles into the eyes of the wild wolf, and the wild wolf suddenly became angry, with messy manes and dark wolf eyes, it was really like a wild wolf howling in the sky, lonely and wild.

"The pebbles in the river are no different, but if you make up a few stories, you will have aura," Dugu Xinci jumped down and looked at his work.

"For example, this black pebble, if it is called the pupil of Nanshan, is it appropriate?"

"The Hitomi of Nanshan?" The old man was confused, and he was also confused when he looked at the people around him.

"Don't understand, do you? If you don't understand, the more you don't understand, the more charming things are, find a few strange and delicate stones, take two rare names, and these stones will be like gold."

"Far Eastern Hou is really the ability to turn stones into gold," one person laughed, his voice crisp.

Dugu Xinci turned his head and looked, a man dressed as a scholar and a woman came out of the crowd, this woman was noble at a glance, with a pink face and jade face, thick eyebrows and a nose, and her appearance was thoughtful, and she was beautiful and unique.

Dugu Xinci had also seen this woman before, but a few of the many scholars had female companions, such as Wang Wei, Dugu Xinci knew that the bottom was the Yuzhen princess that Wei Erlang said, but there were countless hairpins and hairpins in the surrounding mountains, and they were not broken.

This woman and several entourages of Jinshi stayed to watch Dugu Xinci carving snow, and Dugu Xinci did not pay special attention.

"Lang Jun praises" Dugu responded with a smile.

"A certain is Yan Yan, you can ask the Far Eastern Hou to take a detailed view of the beautiful scenery later" Princess Yan Yan of Jingshan also took her entourage to Mengcheng Ao's mansion after speaking.

Dugu Xinci gave it away, waited for it to go away, and smiled bitterly

"Bitter, there are evil guests in the snow"

"What's bothering Master Hou?" Zhongsun Liu was puzzled.

"Today, there are new science and technology scholars, and there are also unknown creatures," Dugu Xinci chattered.

The crowd was puzzled.

"This is the princess of Jingshan, there was still a princess of Yuzhen before, you said that a certain industry needs to change feng shui?"

"Ah, the princess is coming, and I am very happy."

"Princess? The princess of Yan Tang is beyond the wild boar king, comparable to the existence of the dragon" Dugu Xinci shook his head, cleaned up, and turned back to the mansion to prepare lunch for his friends in the same department.

All the Jinshi were a little tired after walking for half a day, most of them sat quietly, and a few energetic people like Wei Erlang were still talking, and the warmth of the room made everyone feel like a spring day.

Dugu Xinci laughed and confessed, and was sent to the kitchen by Wei Erlang.

Rim Chuan finally came to so many guests, of course, the hairpin Hualang group was uninvited, this group of Jinshi did not come first after being invited, and Dugu Xinci should do his best to clean up the table.

Another village sent the freshly killed pork, and in the small courtyard of the kitchen, the ladies of another village are sorting out all kinds of ingredients, chicken, duck, fish and turtles, spinach, cranberry vegetables, river fresh cured vegetables, a few cauldrons have also been heated, and the bowls, spoons and plates are also washed and bright.

Dugu Xinci pondered for a while, these city jinshi went to the countryside, and they had to be suppressed for the first meal, so they had to do something unique, so a series of instructions were issued, and the kitchen courtyard was busy.

The jinshi outside the house laughed and came in and laughed at two sentences, what Yi Yin cooked in the kitchen. Lu Wangtu is in the court, what? Gentleman Far Away Cooking? If you cook small and fresh food in a big country, you will praise Dugu Xinci for cooking well, and he will have a great future in the future.

The ingredients in the courtyard are messy, red meat and white fish, green and red turtle shrimp, vegetables and millet, pots and spoons, each has its own placement, several large steamers are steaming, a few oil pots are creaking, the pottery urn on the copper stove is also coo-dong, and even Princess Jingshan and Princess Yuzhen also have leisure to visit the scene of the Far Eastern Hou's cooking.

Several of the eldest ladies of the Zhongsun family were so panicked and ashamed, Dugu Xinci was so thick-skinned, standing in front of a half-person high copper stove, concentrating on frying ribs, and didn't realize that she was a first-class jinshi.

Everyone also wants to be fresh, the kitchen is full of fishy smell, and they don't want to stay for a long time, so they leave to have fun by themselves.

Although it was already noon, the lobby was full of pastries, hot tea and wine, and a little filling of the belly, Wei Erlang shouted, don't be full, you must keep your stomach to taste Tanhualang's cooking dishes.

Everyone laughed and agreed, some took it seriously, some disdained it, but they were all curious, Wen Wei and the two were not stalkers, and they all praised their cooking skills.

Lao Cheng was lazy and lay down on a few Arhat beds to rest, some people put on the fox fur sent by Dugu Xinci to go to the hill to enjoy the snow, and more went to the snow sculpture with Gao Shi to watch.

These are common beasts and birds of prey in the mountains and forests, all with different expressions, tigers tiptoeing forward, wild wolves roaring up to the sky, eagles flapping their wings and about to fly, and deer running for their lives.

Of course, there must be poetry if there is a scene, and one of Zu Yong's quatrains was rated as the best:

The trees in the south and north mountains are dark, and the tigers walk around the village during the day.

Xiang Wan was a food, and the elk in the mountains were silent.

There are many evil guests in the snow, and Chunyin is only annoyed by lovers. The Sandman was cooking tea and hurriedly sent Xitong to grind the jade dust.
