"My lord, it's been three years, right?" Concubine Wen said.

"Exactly, the mother can be said to be discerning."

"Long live the right-hand man, what is 'Qiuhao', he is really the pillar of the country, the giant of the sky." (Note: 擘, pronounced the same as "dust", refers to the person who is in the first place in a certain aspect.) ﹚

"Just now I said that 'the big leads the small, and there will never be troubles', in the same way, to help the weak with the strong, and to be benevolent. My lord, should you allocate a special fund in the name of the imperial court and send someone to Danzhou to visit the bachelors? I have given him the change I have saved privately, and the bachelor, who has always been generous to the people, may have already exhausted forty or fifty taels of gold. ”

"For the sake of the mother's face, the old man should be like this, besides, I have also been belittled, and I can understand the loneliness and suffering of being in a wild place."

"Did you know? The bachelor was bullied by the local officials, how can this be embarrassing? So far, he has built his own thatched hut in the palm forest, saying an ugly saying, called 'living in secret', and the income is better, called 'expedient temporary residence'. My lord, your fellow Geng colleagues, when the wind and candles are in their last years, there is no good couple to accompany them, 'such as the morning dew, the days are bitter', the stars move to the cold and the summer, and there are more spring and autumn? ”

"Okay, the old man will give a thousand taels to the bachelor to improve his living conditions and benefit the people."

"I've thanked you."

After a few days, everything was arranged. Concubine Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Yuan Yuan saw his sister, he said happily: "Sister, there is a senior brother named Wang Ze, this time, he actually presumptuously called himself 'brother-in-law', hey, isn't this taking advantage of you and me?" ”

When Concubine Wen heard her former friend, she had mixed feelings and said, "Hey, the mouth is on someone else, what you want to call it, let him go, as long as he doesn't do bad things." ”

"Sister, what's the matter? It's as if I'm so weak today that I don't know you. Yuanyuan was puzzled.

Concubine Wen thought proudly: Who can control a person's bitter lovesickness and persistent love for others! Did I stop him from liking? Is it possible? Is it possible?

"Do you often practice martial arts with him?"

"Here, he doesn't care if I want to or not, he grabs me all day long and starts practicing. Actually, it's not called 'learning', it should be him 'helping' me. ”

Concubine Wen told Yuanyuan about this mission, and he happily accepted the order, saying: "Life is full of experience, who will travel if I don't travel?" ”

"Are you afraid of going to hell? You must know that there is not even a house in the land of the bachelor, and you will have to live in a hut for a few days. ”

"If you live, you can live, but if you can live, can't the grass people live?"

"Thank you little brother for going deep into the wilderness again, and being willing, for my sister, I am grateful, I am really grateful!"

"Last time I was in a hurry, this time, I must take Lily to play."

"What about stores? Who is in charge? ”

"Naturally, I'm inviting my all-powerful sister."

"Ghost elf, well, you write down the price of each spice, for your sister's 'something to remember, something to remember.' ”

"What do you mean?"

"There are some things, such as interesting stories, poems and songs, etc., I like to remember, so I can remember; For things that are difficult to remember, such as numbers, they are so boring that they don't want to remember, so they always can't remember. ”

"You should pack up some spices yourself, but you should be careful about the dried chili peppers and try to bring as little as possible, otherwise it will easily cause his stubborn disease to recur."

Yuanyuan Lily quickly packed a bag of dried miscellaneous spices, including thyme slightly similar to elm money, cumin similar to thyme, white cardamom and fragrant sand kernels like twins, rolls of cinnamon and cinnamon, Hanyuan Maowen Henan pepper, special hemp green pepper, a small amount of Chaotian pepper, millet pepper, Qixing pepper, and extra spicy pepper.

Concubine Wen took the maids to the "Everything" store. Instructed Ling'er to go to the bookstore and buy a book introducing the effects of spices, and soon bought back a book called "The Great Song Dynasty Seasoning Treasure Book", and everyone looked at it with relish. After an hour, everyone can basically remember the appearance and efficacy of various spices, and they all breathe a long sigh of relief.

Yuan Yuan carried dry food, umbrella and silver ticket, Lily carried tea on her back, and safely carried spices. The three of them sometimes rode horses, sometimes took a boat, went through hardships, after ten days of hard travel, in September 1097, An Ning and Yuanyuan Lili finally came to the residence of Su Shi in Changhua, Danzhou.

When Su Shi saw someone coming from the court, he was inexplicably surprised, and hurriedly got up to greet him, and said happily: "The distinguished guest has arrived, and he has missed the welcome." Cyclamen is here! ”

"This is a simple three-room thatched hut, and it is really a room without a house, could it be that the bachelor has become the Du Fu of my dynasty, he is old, and he still lives in a thatched house, wait for a while, wait for the bachelor to be happy, and then slowly ask about this 'Du Fu house'." Yuan Yuan thought quietly, he didn't want the bachelor to be embarrassed and sad.

Su Guo hurriedly beckoned the guests to sit down one by one, and asked Yuan Yuan in surprise: "Last time, why didn't you see Brother Ren?" ”

"Brother Xian, I'm really sorry, I went to my relatives last time." Then, everyone introduced each other to get acquainted with each other.

"We are the youngest dog, the word Uncle Dang, the number of Xiechuan layman, the villagers have always called me 'Xiaopo'."

"Oh, what a sweet name, the folks are so interesting." Yuan Yuan boasted.

The bachelor's popularity has always been very good, you see, the old man in the neighborhood heard that a distinguished guest had come, and hurriedly ran to help.

"Big sister, you're here! Please take a seat, please take a seat. ”

I saw the old man carrying a basket of coconuts, she was anti-customer, and took the initiative to prepare "coconut tea" for everyone, only to see her hold down the brown coconuts steadily, and carefully insert a small bamboo pipe with a sharp tip into the depression of a mouth.

"Come, guests from the court, please drink coconut water, quench your thirst, quench your thirst."

Lily thanked the old man and gulped it down.

They are so thirsty, tasting sweet and delicious coconut water, everyone feels that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, this is a great joy in life.

Seeing the three of them eating so sweetly, the eldest sister was very happy, and said heartily: "Great poet, you will accompany the guests to talk about the heavens and the earth, be happy, what about the old sister, I am more than ten years older than you, I should take care of you, I will go to cook at noon today, and I will explain all my good dishes to you clearly." ”

Lily looked up and said to herself: This guy hasn't even taken off the gift, just drinking there. Hurriedly urged: "Brother Security, aren't you hot, and you still carry the chili pepper bag on your back, who will steal it?" ”

Safety suddenly realized, took down this bag of all kinds of dried miscellaneous products, presented them to the bachelor, and said respectfully: "My lord, please smile, this is the seasoning sent to you by Uncle Guo, they have been working hard to get rich for a long time, specializing in selling these dry goods, don't be polite." ”

The bachelor rubbed his somewhat dazed eyes, and said excitedly: "Thank you so much, Concubine Wen's family, so benevolent, it makes the old man embarrassed, thank you Uncle Guo, thank you Lord Safety." ”

"This bright pepper, I like it so much, old man, but that's all, hey!"

"My sister specifically instructed you to bring less chili peppers, because if you upset your fortune, how can it be good?" Hearing this, the bachelor smiled embarrassedly.

Then, Yuanyuan Lily analyzed the effects of various spices one by one, and the bachelor was fascinated by it, and while grabbing the spices one by one and smelling them, he couldn't stop admiring them: "Well, the spices in Bashu's hometown are relatively complete, and with the adjustment of these treasures, the old man is afraid that he will gain weight again!" ”
