"We said okay" The crescent moon raised her eyes, opposite Rong Ying's eyes.

But Rong Ying didn't allow Xinyue to say a word, but stretched out his hand and hugged Xinyue, he leaned on Xinyue's shoulder and whispered, "Xinyue, look, it's snowing." ”

The new moon pushed him twice, it was obvious that it was all useless, so naturally he couldn't push him, so he gave up and lowered his hand, "This snow has been falling since the afternoon, and it has been raining all day." ”

"Yes, I know. I wanted to tell you from the first time it snowed, but I encountered something and got stuck, but I still wanted to tell you that it was snowing. Rong Ying felt that the moment he held the new moon in his arms, he was about to shed tears, this wind and snow were strong, and he was full of pain, but the petite woman in his arms was just lying in his arms, and the warm touch eliminated his tiredness all day.

"You..." Xinyue was still choked, but this time she was not so angry that she couldn't speak, but she was shocked by Rong Ying's attitude towards herself, because Rong Ying was hugging herself very gently.

It was a tender embrace, his hand was gently wrapped around her waist, and he would fall when he struggled, but when he made a little movement, he would quickly tighten, so that she could not escape, as if he were something precious to him.

"The more you push me away, the more I want to get closer to you." After Rong Ying finished speaking, she smiled a little embarrassedly, Xinyue heard his laughter, and was a little suspicious of her ears, is this really Rong Ying's laughter?

"So what else do you want? We're not already talking about it. ”

"You're the one who stopped me this time." Rong Ying is right.

"I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore," Crescent Moon still said.

"I believe what you say, and you don't want to have anything to do with me. It's not like it's involved in my world. I'm afraid of breaking your peaceful life, but when you look at the new moon, this world is no longer peaceful. Do you think that everything is safe now, but Jiang Yang still wants to go back to the north, he is the main general in the north, what will happen, haven't you understood yet? ”

"This has nothing to do with me" Xinyue never thought about this problem, as soon as Rong Ying said this, Xinyue was still nervous, but she couldn't show her flaws, so she could only pretend to be nothing.

Rong Ying's head hung down, and it took a long time before she hummed.

The two hugged in the snow for a while, Xinyue felt that if it went on like this, it would definitely be seen, so she pushed Rong Ying, but she didn't expect to push him away this time, Xinyue couldn't restrain her surprised look for a while, but was all seen by Rong Ying, Rong Ying smiled, and then turned around and went "as you wish"

With that, Rong Ying strode away, this time without any stop, and just left.

Xinyue stood in the snow for a while, the snow was still falling, she was a little tired, shook the snow on her shoulder, and then stretched out her hand, on her hand was a piece of jade pendant that she accidentally ripped off Rong Ying's waist, Xinyue knew that this was Rong Ying's intention, she fixed her eyes and looked, the patterns on it had been worn out and could not be seen clearly, she could only vaguely see the carvings of a few green bamboos, Xinyue raised her eyes, Feng'er just walked over, and put the cloak on Xinyue's body, Xinyue smiled, "Let's go in." ”

"Girl, the meal is ready."

"I don't have an appetite, you eat, make my bed, I'm going to rest." With that, Xinyue walked back to her room, and Feng'er took off the cloak on her shoulders for her, and Xinyue stretched out her hand, "Put this jade pendant together with the jade ring that the prince gave me." ”

"Yes" Feng'er could see Xinyue's mood, but she knew not to ask anything, just waiting for her to calm down and turn the page on these things.

Xinyue was lying on her bed, and everything around her was quiet, and she could still hear the wind, she blinked, thinking that Rong Ying didn't know if he had returned to his house, why did he come here in such a cold weather.

There is the sound of branches being crushed by the snow, and it seems that this heavy snow also knows that this will be the last snow of the year, so it will be so fateful, but warm days will always come, there is no need, indulge in this night that is about to come to an end.

This day is the Lantern Festival, the national funeral has passed the New Year, and the requirements everywhere are a lot looser. Xinyue looked up with a smile at the two pink peach blossom lanterns on her door, and said to Mama Wang, who was standing beside her, "Mama, don't you know? In another day, the edict to give me marriage will be issued, so naturally there is no need to hang peach blossom lanterns anymore, let me recruit peach blossoms. ”

Mama Wang naturally knew about it, she shook her head and said, "The slave maid asked people to hang this lantern because they wanted the girl to let the peach blossom in your heart bloom quickly." Over the years, the old slave has followed you, and I haven't seen anyone who can let you bloom this peach blossom in your heart. ”

"When spring comes, the peach blossoms will naturally bloom." The new moon reached out and fiddled, and the tassel on the peach blossom lantern deepened the smile.

"The slave and maid will enter the palace." Fei'er came out of the kitchen, holding a food box in her hand, and stood behind Mama Wang, the two of them were going to enter the palace.

"Okay, Mama, after you meet the Queen Mother, don't listen to what Xue Cui and the Queen Mother say, you can see her face with your own eyes, and then see if she has taken medicine again, whether she has eaten or not."

"Girl, you have explained this several times, and the slave will naturally do it well. You can rest assured. With that, Mama Wang and Feng'er walked out of the courtyard one after the other.

As soon as Mama Wang left, Feng'er led two people in, two mothers-in-law in their early forties, their hair, clothes, and accessories were very clean and neat, worthy of being from the Jiang family.

"Say hello to the Lord of the Crescent." The two mothers-in-law bowed and bowed.

"Mama, please get up, is there anything wrong with coming so early?" Crescent Moon stood under the porch, looking at the two of them condescendingly.

"The slave maid serves the order of our wife Chen, and sends a post to the county lord." As he spoke, the mother-in-law who was the leader took out a light gold post from his arms, which was the Jiang family's home post.

"Ah, I really have a heart, just inform me of something at home, why bother the two grandmothers to send it. I don't know what happy events happened to the Jiang family? The crescent moon finished the post and did not unfold it, but asked the two people standing at the bottom of the steps.

Another mother-in-law said, "Back to the county lord's words, Your Majesty issued a decree to give General Jiang the Marquis of Jinbei, there has been no such major event in the house for a long time, our wife is busy for a while, this post is used to invite the county lord You, come to our house tomorrow, help our wife with family affairs, since it is to ask you for help, naturally to be solemn, and ask the county lord to agree." ”

Xinyue has always had a good impression of this Chen family, thinking that she is a generous and dignified lady who is very good at running a family. The first thing that you need to do is to be able to stabilize the balance.

Obviously, she is not short of people to help, with such a big stall as the Jiang family, can't she find a few people to help? She asked Xinyue to come over, firstly, to let her see the scene, get to know the relatives in the clan, and help Xinyue. This is to set rules for yourself when the new moon has not yet passed the door, so that the new moon knows who has the final say in this old marquis's mansion, which has the meaning of testing and spurring.

Crescent Moon smiled and nodded, "Go back and tell your lady, I'll be there early tomorrow morning." ”

Saying that, Xinyue handed the post in her hand to Feng'er on the side, and regarded it as if she had read it, "Hao'er, send the two grandmothers out." ”

"Slaves and maids will retire." The two went out through the door they came into, and they were sent to the second gate, and they immediately turned back.

Xinyue still stood under the corridor and sighed, "Chen, I really underestimated this Chen." ”

"Girl, you haven't entered the door yet, and the eldest lady is beating you like this. You must tell Mrs. Zhuang about this grievance. Feng'er also had a sad face.

"Even you can see that it's a beating. How could Mrs. Zhuang not know such a clear person? I think, this idea is from Mrs. Zhuang, she must feel that my temperament still needs to be touched, more to sharpen me, this kind of mansion and wealthy family, do not need too brilliant daughters-in-law, what is needed is obedient and docile people. At first, they thought I was very good, but when I really wanted to marry home, I was very picky. It's really troublesome, should I mess it up? Crescent rubbed her head with a headache.

"Girl, are you joking? The Jiang family has such a big happy event, even if there is a national funeral restriction, it will definitely be as big as it can be. At that time, the whole Jinling City will come, and if you mess up this matter, it will be a big shame. ”

"I can't see it, you little girl is quite famous. What's wrong with losing face? What happened to my face being thrown from the Eastern Capital to Jinling, and then from Jinling back to the Eastern Capital? Having said that, Crescent knew she couldn't do anything.

First, this is the biggest and most glorious thing in Jiang Yang's life. He has been in battle since he was fifteen years old, and his twenty-year military career, at this time, he was crowned the marquis and paid homage to the prime minister, which is the best reward for him, and he naturally can't be that unhappy person. Again, his face doesn't just represent himself.

Tomorrow is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Jiang family is full of joy and glory. And they will be humiliated in the Xuanhou Mansion, and Xinyue's brother and sister-in-law will also be imprisoned. And if they do anything out of the ordinary at this time, their family's reputation will be swept away even more.

So tomorrow, Xinyue decided to do it well, although it was done, Xinyue was just mentioned by the Chen family, and the credit was hers, but since she was the Xinyue County Lord of Anxuanhou Mansion, she must do everything well.

Having made up her mind, Crescent opened her closet. Feng'er stood by the closet, waiting for her to command.

"You take out that plain robe and put it on the outside with that pale pink robe."

"Girl, this robe has narrow sleeves, not wide sleeves that you like." Feng'er reminds the crescent moon to arrive.

"Did you go to that place for a banquet? Didn't you listen to those two mothers-in-law? What Chen lacks is someone to help, not a guest. We estimate that we will stay in the Hou Mansion for a few days, and you tell us to go down and prepare well. ”

"How many more days?" Feng'er asked very puzzled.

"Tomorrow Your Majesty will announce the decree, and those who can come to celebrate that day will only come to pay a visit, say congratulations and leave, and the next day will be the same. For those who live far away and don't have time to come on the first day, congratulations. Then, on the third and fourth days, prepare for it, and on the fifth day after the will, the Jiang family will hold a big banquet to entertain relatives and friends. We estimated that we would have to stay for five to six days until the feast was over, and then we would be able to return. Put away this dress first, this one is plain white, light blue, I don't have many narrow-sleeved clothes, you can find them for me, and the shoes must be comfortable, I am used to wearing them. As for jewelry..."Xinyue looked at her makeup box, "bring these commonly used ones, and then bring two sets of head noodles to use at the feast." There is no need to be too generous with some broken silver to deal with people, we are under the hands of the Chen family, and if we are too generous, we will be suspected of inviting people to buy people's hearts. It was really unnecessary to offend her early in the morning. ”

"Yes," Feng'er listened to the order and cleaned them up one by one.

After a while, Feng'er suddenly asked, "Girl, don't you want to marry General Jiang?" How did you go so far and do everything with all the painstaking planning? ”

This is really about the new moon, the new moon frowned, and found that this is indeed the case, he can't do this thing, and there is no need to do everything, very good, how tiring it is!

"Let's be prepared like this, if something happens, we can adapt to it. You go and pick two beautiful calligraphy and paintings to make our congratulatory gifts. With that, Crescent closed the box she was packing.

On the second day, the new moon went out before dawn, the two carriages were mighty, the new moon was still recalling over and over again, the place to pay attention to, went out too early, the city gate had not yet opened, the new moon could only let the carriage line up first, and he and Feng'er got off the car to breathe.

Fortunately, there are a lot of stalls at the gate of the city. And when Rong Zhao sent him off that time, the tea shop where the two dined together was still slim, and Xinyue looked at the couple who were busy at the door, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Girl, you can't shed tears in this cold wind, your face will be blown." As she spoke, Mama Wang wiped away the tears that had not flowed for her.

Xinyue nodded, "Mama, even if this city gate is opened, I'm afraid it will still be good for us to come, why don't we go to this tea stall and eat some breakfast." The plum meat buns here taste very good. ”

"Okay, okay" Mama Wang looked around, and there was indeed only such a clean place.

Crescent Moon walked closer to the tea stall and said to the proprietress who had stopped her busy hand, "Two bowls of rice porridge, four steamed buns, a plate of beef and two cups of tea." ”

"Girl, sit down." Saying that, the proprietress greeted the new moon and sat in the innermost secret place of the tea stall, Mama Wang was very satisfied, took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe the table and chairs, but was pulled by the crescent moon "Sit down, Mama." ”

"Yes" Mama Wang glanced up at the somewhat cramped proprietress and sat down with the new moon that had already sat down.

Xinyue raised her head and said to Fei'er, "You two girls should also go and order some favorite food, and the coachman and the guards have asked them to take turns to eat breakfast, and they have come so early, I'm afraid they haven't had time to eat." ”

"Yes" said that, Fei'er went out and ordered, and Feng'er also stood behind Xinyue, who pulled her and said to the proprietress "Another bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, some rice cakes and pickles." ”

"Girl, I cooked some beef noodles today, would you like to try them?" The proprietress saw that the new moon was extraordinary and her appearance was also first-class, but it was almost the first time she had seen such a girl, and she would bring her maid and grandmother to her store for dinner.

"But, let's get a copy. And..."The new moon is thinking about what he ate when he and Rong Ying were here.

"Ma Cake" Feng'er reminded the new moon from the side.

"Three more sesame cakes." Only then did Crescent Moon remember.

"Yes," the proprietress turned and went to the steaming stove, but in a moment, she came over with a large tray.

There is beef that has been cooked for a long time in the tray, just cut it into slices, buns, rice cakes are also steamed in the morning, just need to take it out of the cage drawer, and the rice porridge and pickles are also placed in the hands of the new moon first.

Only the hemp cake was made by the owner of the tea stall himself, and I saw him slam a large piece of dough on the panel, and then use a thicker rolling pin to drive the dough away, roll it out into large and thin slices, pour the puff pastry, roll it up, roll it up, form a very long dough column, cut it into half a fist-sized piece, sprinkle a lot of sesame seeds, press it into a not thin cake with his fist, stick it on the inner wall of the hot tube-like pot, and after a while, the tea stall is full of the fragrance of sesame seeds and oil, and smell the smell of spices, except for the common ones, The crescent moon even smelled the scent of precious pepper.

This fragrance made her laugh uncontrollably, and said to Mama Wang, who was a little uncomfortable, "Mama, you smell the hemp cake carefully." ”

When Mama Wang heard Xinyue say this, she also shrugged the tip of her nose and said to Xinyue, "Isn't it just the taste of ordinary hemp cakes... Put some more..."

"The smell of pepper," Crescent Moon said with a smile.

"It's peppery." Feng'er also smelled it.

"Mama, this is a real person who doesn't show his face. Such a small tea stall, can open the city gate, open for more than ten years is still here, can also use such a precious spice, this one hemp cake is only two copper plates, of which pepper accounts for more than half, so, do you still think that this tea stall is simple? ”

"This pepper is pepper, but this place is simple, not a place for you to come, girl." Mama Wang said seriously.

Xinyue smiled, picked up a soft bun, and put it in Mama Wang's hand, "If you come, you will be safe, Mama taste it, this bun, Rong Zhao... I like them all. ”

As soon as Xinyue mentioned Rong Zhao, her voice choked, and when Mama Wang saw this, she was afraid that Xinyue would cry again, so she had to bite the bun in her hand in a little panic, "That old slave has to taste it." ”

Xinyue reluctantly smiled, looked at Mama Wang, and picked up one herself, Rong Zhao strongly recommended the bun to herself, she was full of worries at that time, and she couldn't taste the taste, but now she tastes it carefully, the sauce is full of fragrance, the meat is rich, it is really a full and delicious bun.

"Come, your hemp cake is here" said, the proprietress served three hemp cakes, the hemp cake has just been made, it is very hot, and it has a light yellow burnt edge after baking, which makes people look appetizing.

Feng'er picked up the hemp cake, changed the hot hand to the other, picked up the chopsticks, added the beef slices, sandwiched them in the already cut hemp cake, then wrapped it in oiled paper, and handed it to the new moon, "Girl, taste it, this hemp cake with pepper, the slave has never eaten it once." ”

"Good" Xinyue took the hemp cake from Feng'er's hand, took a bite while it was hot, and a rich fragrance filled her mouth, the sweetness of pasta, the aroma of sesame seeds, the aroma of oil and spices, and a hint of pepper exoticism, all in her mouth, mixed with flavorful beef, she just ate this bite, her eyes narrowed, this taste, it was so delicious.

Mama Wang saw that Xinyue had eaten something delicious, and her mood really improved, so she put her mind at ease and tasted it herself.

When Feng'er added beef to the crescent moon just now, she couldn't hold back her saliva, so she took one and ate it.

Xinyue ate a fist-sized hemp cake in a few bites, some of the meaning is not finished, but he still picked up the tea on the side, this tea is coarse tea, quenching thirst and greasy, the bitter fragrance is extremely strong, and it is very simple and arbitrary.

"Girl, your beef..."

"Boss, three sesame cakes, a plate of beef, and a bowl of beef noodles." Xinyue raised her head and looked at the man who walked in, it was a tall, slender man, and when she saw the face of the person who came, she smiled slightly, she was really fated with this Ji Feiyu, the first time she saw him, she and Rong Zhao met after eating at this tea stall.

Ji Feiyu also saw the new moon and took a few steps towards the new moon, but noticed Mama Wang's vigilant gaze, so he had to stop his steps and slap his hands, "Miss Crescent." ”

"Boss Ji is polite." Crescent Moon also stood up and returned the salute.

"I don't know the girl is here, I'm disturbed, I'll leave now" Saying that, Ji Feiyu turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xinyue, "Boss Ji, you are here to eat, and the little girl is also here to eat, is it possible that in your restaurant, the later guests have to wait for the first guests to finish eating before they can sit down?" ”

"It's true, it's just that the location of this tea stall is limited, and the status of the lower is low, if you eat with the girl in the lower house, I am afraid that the girl's reputation will be tarnished."

After hearing this, the smile on Xinyue's face became even stronger, "Boss Ji, don't be presumptuous. ”

"I really don't need to, girl..." Before Ji Feiyu finished speaking, he saw Xinyue coming over, although he didn't reach out to pull him, but the meaning was similar, Ji Feiyu had to sit opposite her at her signal, and on both sides, on one side was her grandmother, and on the other side was her maid, the girl named Feng'er.

Among the four people, except for Xinyue, they are all a little awkward, and at this time, Xinyue has never sat at the same table with a man. Mama Wang even stretched out her hand to pull the new moon, "Girl, since Boss Ji is going to eat here, let's eat about the same, why don't we leave first." ”

Xinyue watched Mama Wang take her hand and use her strength, knowing that she was angry, so she nodded
