Chapter 12: Taste

Sure enough, when they were almost done with dinner, the prince had not yet returned.

Jinghu and Ke Mingxu sat opposite each other, with the scenery on the Bashui on one side. He eats very gently, and he is a good upbringing of the family for many years, and he should have been like this.

Jinghu looked at him and only felt that everything was good. If it's hers, so much the better.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Panyue Lou naturally has zongzi prepared. Although she doesn't like to eat food made of glutinous rice, she is with Ke Mingxu today, and she wants to taste it and enjoy the festival together.

She eats jujube zongzi, and Ke Mingxu eats ham zongzi. Cut the rice dumplings into small slices first, and then taste them slowly.

Jinghu also ate Sven at the beginning, but later felt a little troublesome, thinking that his zongzi was more fragrant than his own, so he thought of teasing him, took a clean chopstick on the side, and took a piece from his plate.

Ke Mingxu didn't seem to care, but pushed his plate forward, "If the little county lord doesn't dislike it, just take food." ”

Jinghu also pushed her plate forward, "Brother Ke Shi too." ”

But she soon remembered again, "Brother Ke Shi doesn't seem to like sweets. ”

Ke Mingxu smiled, also took the chopsticks on the side, and took a piece from her plate, "Occasionally, I think it has a different taste." ”

The rice dumplings with candied dates were obviously eaten in his mouth, but they were as sweet as her heart. Until he sent her home, she was happy, and she was always chattering.

She stepped into the door of the mansion and saw him far away, and began to regret it, and I didn't know if he would dislike her for being noisy.

When Jinghu returned home, it was not too early, but she met her brother Jing Xun again.

Jing Xun has always had a good face for her, and he has a good face for every good-looking woman who is born. But I like a woman with a mediocre complexion.

The wife he wants to marry is the Yuan Niang of General Wan's Mansion, and her maiden name seems to be Wan Zhiyu. Listening to Qingrou, she is also good friends with her two sisters.

Her grandfather, General Wan Lao, is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first military general of this dynasty, and a few months ago he defeated the barbarians in the northwest and expelled them far north of the Hushui River, deep in the Nawu grassland.

There will be no more wars in the Northwest for about a long time.

This marriage was brought by her brother, who is always a hanger on weekdays, and she personally went to Jinshang to ask for it, and she has the dignity of today's marriage. So for a while, Jinghu's mother was always a little unhappy.

Her sister-in-law was born in Master Ke's mansion, no matter how good Master Ke is, and then he gets the Sacred Heart, he will be an old man in his twilight years after all.

And the next generation of the Ke family, but there is no one who can inherit his mantle, that is, Ke Mingxu, who has won the top prize, if he wants to sit in his position, it will take more than ten years to work, to say the least.

But the Wan family is different, the old general returned to the dynasty, but his son was still the commander of the forbidden army. The sons of the same generation as Jinghu also made military achievements in the northwest, and if the war breaks out again in the future, it will only be a matter of day and night.

The little county lord knew what her mother was thinking about. From the prospect Xun is an idle gentleman, who can't write or martial arts, and is disliked by her father.

Such a person, just from a better background, was crowned the son of the world. So her mother has actually been thinking about this position for her brother for a long time.

The little county lord never paid attention to these things, and the name was decided early, and it was useless to think about it, she felt that it was not interesting. So the mother never told her these things, and she wished she didn't know.

But now Jing Xun is also a person who has made meritorious contributions in the northwest, no longer confused, and has such a good family affair, I hope that my mother and brother will see it earlier, don't think about it anymore.

Sometimes she really thinks that her mother and brother are not as open as she can see. With the signboard of Yongning County Palace, and the children of the clan, why always have Xiao think about things that don't belong to him.

If you care less about something, you can always live more comfortably.

Jinghu's thoughts drifted a little far, and she heard her brother Jing Xun speak, "Jingling, what are you thinking, you're going to hit a pillar when you walk." ”

He was in a good mood today, and the tone of his words was that of a gentleman. Jing Xun approached her, and she quickly smelled the scent of fat powder on his body.

Jinghu glared at him, "It's better for the third brother to be careful himself, seeing that he is going to get married, don't be caught by my powerful sister-in-law again." ”

"This time, Your Majesty, he has already given you a marriage, Wan Niangzi can't break up the relationship with you anymore, but she is from the Jiangmen, if she wants to clean you up, I'm afraid it's easy, right?"

Jing Xun didn't seem to be angry because of her words, but smiled and said, "Jinghu, our Yongning County Royal Mansion doesn't seem to be a clear stream, right?" ”

"Why do you talk like a cannon, and you can fight with those old scholars in the court?"

Jinghu has always had little patience with his cynical brother, and he has always spoken with a gun and a stick.

"Didn't I kindly remind my brother? Last time, I made Wan Niangzi angry and ran to the northwest, this time everyone is going to enter the door, where are you going. ”

Jing Xun said, "How do you know that I am with a woman today?" ”

Jing Hu glanced at him and waved his hand in the air, trying to wave the fragrance away.

Jing Xun also reacted quickly, and sniffed it on his sleeve, "I'm used to smelling this smell, but I don't think it's very fragrant." ”

He said loudly: "This is your sister-in-law's usual incense powder, and when she enters the door in the future, don't talk nonsense." ”

He remembered that Fang Cai Jinghu had also come back from outside, and he looked very happy. She also pulled her sleeve and sniffed, "...... It's weird, this smell seems to be a little familiar. ”

Jinghu was a thief, and pulled back his sleeve, "The smell is similar, what's so strange." The third brother thinks that I don't talk nonsense, so I have to be cautious in my words and deeds in the future. ”

He added: "When the new sister-in-law enters the door, I will also ask her if she uses this kind of incense powder." If my brother wants to shut my mouth......"

She held out her hand to him, "One thousand taels of silver." ”

Jing Xun stood still and didn't move, leaning on the pillar with his hands folded, "Last time, it only cost five hundred taels of silver, Jinghu, your price has risen quite fast." ”

Jinghu smiled, revealing two shallow pear vortices, "Last time, my brother hadn't decided to marry yet, so he wanted to seal my mouth, which was naturally very cheap, but now that you are a person with a master, I will hide it for my brother, so I will naturally take a bigger risk." ”

"Since the risk is greater, I can't afford to lose."

Jing Xun laughed, stood up straight, untied his purse, threw it to Jing Hu, and then turned around and walked towards his yard.

"Five hundred taels, no more. Today is indeed going out with your sister-in-law, and I will take you to Jinshui Lake next time. ”

Jinghu looked at his distant back, weighed the weight of his purse, and turned back to Fang Shixuan with satisfaction.
