Chapter 17 Noodle Soup
"It's just ......" Shen Yue raised his head slightly, and his face showed hesitation, "It's a little bit to make Your Majesty wronged." β
Sheng Changmu was silent, but his expression was slightly slackened, obviously moved by Shen Yue's plan, and he didn't care about his own gains and losses, he said, "Shen Qing, please speak." β
"Now, the grass people can only implore Your Majesty to send someone to check on Li Zongming, the general of the Xing State."
When the words were about to be spoken, Shen Yue re-exported and sold a pass, and at the end of the words, he neatly admitted the punishment: "The grass people are guilty." β
Sheng Changmu loosened his eyebrows and smiled, a little bitter, "If Shen Qing can really be ashamed of me, then he is a meritorious minister of Great Chu, how can he be blamed?" β
Shen Yue also smiled faintly.
Active? He didn't care.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Since that day, after warning the Mo female official with a meal, Sheng Changning has never seen a resemblance to the previous one in front of him.
Even Yuan'er has settled down a lot.
Today's breakfast served a bowl of clear soup with large pork noodles, pork bones and yellow eel bones boiled for several hours of broth mixed with white noodles, boiled bamboo shrimp and shrimp meat poured into the soup and then tumbled until the white noodles and soup were thickened.
The fragrance of the shrimp was mixed with the rich bone fragrance, and the mixed fragrance came through the steaming mist, which made Sheng Changning look a little trance.
When I saw this bowl of meat noodles again, I didn't realize that it had been more than ten years.
She remembers.
That day is the death day of the queen mother, every year at this time of the year the father will lock himself in the palace, the courtiers have become accustomed to this day, there is no one in the court, even the door of the east palace is closed.
Every day, Sheng Changning is not bound to enter and leave the palace, because she wants to go out of the palace to worship.
The tomb of the queen mother was not moved into the imperial mausoleum, but buried in the most prosperous area of Shengjing, and placed in the courtyard of a four-entry family.
Sheng Changning put a bouquet of camellia in front of the cold and neat tombstone, and snorted three times as usual, she looked at the dew on the fresh flowers and was silent.
Before leaving, she was still thinking, why did her father and brother be so sad, but they still didn't come to the courtyard every year to worship?
It wasn't until she walked out of the courtyard that the noise of the street market slowly came into her ears, and when she caught a glimpse of the crowds of bookstores on the street, she decided to buy some books to read.
Anan protected her left and right, and finally squeezed into the bookstore, only to find that most of the people here were students dressed in Guozijian costumes, or scholars carrying a book basket.
Sheng Changning then remembered, now that spring is approaching, it is normal for students to work hard, and she is going to leave with Anan when she thinks about it-although she wears a curtain fence, it is always inappropriate to be in such a place with so many men.
ββ¦β¦ Where do you say he's slightly better than you? β
"Have you ever heard a sentence, a spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, even if you are in a bad alley, Confucius's disciple - Yan Hui will not change his pleasure because of this, and you, you are also worthy of laughing at others with others?"
The speaker's voice was clear and uninhibited, and the words pierced people's hearts and lungs.
Sheng Changning couldn't help but turn his head to look, and the voice sounded, as if the person who was scolded was going to find a hole in the ground.
It's a pity that she tiptoed, and through the shadowy and close crowd, Sheng Changning still didn't see the person's face.
But after many years, she can still remember that when she finally left, she suddenly felt a faint sense of loss in her heart.
But soon, she was attracted by the snacks on the side of the stall, and the noodle seller was from Jiangnan, and she vigorously promoted the store's signature - a big bowl of clear soup and big meat noodles.
But later, it was at her behest that Anan reluctantly allowed her to eat the bowl of noodles. The flavor of the noodle soup is mellow and delicious, and it is still unforgettable.
Recalling the past, Sheng Changning's lips couldn't help but bring a warm smile.
Who would have thought that at that time, he broke the big truth and reprimanded others for not bullying poor scholars, and later reunited with her in the silver jewelry shop.
also formed a "deep hatred" because of a pearl hairpin.
At that time, Shen Ziyu was high-spirited, could argue for poor scholars, and would also hang his son as a playful man, and ten years later, Shen Ergongzi, was the same as back then.
For so many years, the sea can be moved into mulberry fields, and people's hearts have long been no longer visible, but this person is the only one...... It hasn't changed.
Sheng Changning gently rubbed the edge of the bowl, it was no longer hot, and the warm touch spread to the depths of his heart little by little.
"Princess, your face is going to be cold...... Yuan'er looked at her and was already stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but remind her.
Sheng Changning said lightly, and when she ran out of meat noodles, she asked Yuan'er: "Why did you cook such soup today?" β
This kind of noodle soup is the favorite food of the people in the south, but people in the capital eat it less, and this kind of noodle soup is not often seen in the palace.
Yuan'er lowered her head and replied softly: "Back to the princess, the people who brought tea from Jiangnan to Beijing have arrived today, and His Majesty specially left people to eat in the palace, so that the ingredients made in the imperial dining room are all according to the preferences of the people in the south." β
So important?
Sheng Changning waved his hand to make everyone retreat, and the hall suddenly became empty and silent.
The pillow on the soft couch was sent by the people who sold out of the north hall yesterday, saying that the cotton wool stuffed in it was very expensive, and the soft satin surface of the cover was also a lot of price, and if it was placed outside the palace, it would be gold.
Sheng Changning dragged this piece of gold and held it in her arms, sleepiness suddenly swept over her, and the thoughts in her mind were still stuck on "why did Shen Ziyu suddenly win Sheng Changmu's favor", and she thought about it again in a daze, she was finally defeated by the sleepiness, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Outside the window, the twilight gradually slanted to the west, and the large clouds of brocade were like fine silk, quenched with golden light.
Under the verandah, a black shadow swept by.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The days passed slowly, and the winter solstice came as promised.
The capital is located in the north, the climate is not as warm as the south of the Yangtze River, and the cold air is howling before the wax moon, forcing Sheng Changning to put on a thick jacket.
When the envoys of the Yue Kingdom came, it was in the cold season.
There are fine and fine snow particles floating on the edge of the sky, and every year at this time, this kind of snow particles will fall on Da Chu's side, which is light and fluttering, and it is a little cold when it hits his face.
After surviving the sudden cold before, Sheng Changning was very stuffy in the palace, and he also began to walk around, but before he could go far, the little palace maid of Shufang Hall hurriedly caught up.
"Princessβ"
The call was very hurried, Sheng Changning turned around, the palace maid who came in a hurry was sent to her palace by Sheng Changmu before, and she had given Sheng Changning a look with female officials Mo.
It seems to be called...... Lu.
Not far away, Yuan'er, who was folding Lamei for Sheng Changning, also reacted, and greeted him in a few steps, and scolded when he came up: "What is the matter to be so noisy, it is so rude in front of the princess!" β
Bai Lu was reprimanded with a split head and a face, and she didn't dare to be wronged, so she only said in a loud voice: "Slave maid, please princess, sister Yuan'er, don't be annoyed, it's really urgent to rush the north hall, I want to let the princess go to you for a ......."
