Chapter 381: Horned Millet

I set a daily study plan for the future, and the curfew drum also sounded, I regret that I can't accompany the teacher Jiang Mo to use the evening food before leaving, I can only say that when I take a break for ten days in the future, I will stay in the farmhouse for a night.

As early as when the curfew drum sounded, the crowds of people coming and going on Chang'an Avenue had begun to leave the city one after another, and the streets were suddenly empty.

Liu Chenxing worked hard all the way, and before the 600 curfew drums were beaten, he also successfully returned to the door of Dao Zhengfang's house.

Riding on his horse, he glanced back at the distant sky, which was already a little gray, and there was still a small afterglow of the setting sun in the western sky.

Calculate the time, as long as you can get off work and leave the palace on time every day, and then except for the time of going back and forth, you can stay at the Qujiang farmhouse for an hour.

Probably Uncle Liu said when he came to bring food that she was going to the teacher Jiang Mo's side and led the horse back, and the courtyard door opened as soon as it was pushed, obviously a door left for her.

But it's not right, today is her first day of work, with A-Niang's temperament, most of them will wait for themselves to come back at the door, and they will definitely ask Uncle Liu about her first day of work, and when they hear that the empress has rewarded her with clothes, then they will wait for her at the door to get off work, why is there no one at this time?

Liu Chenxing led the horse into the yard, and then "clicked" the wooden bolt from the inside, and locked the courtyard door, the front yard was still quiet, and no one came out of the backyard, not even the little cousin Liu Qinghai.

Isn't it that brother Liu Qingshan took his little cousin to find a gentleman who was studying?

No, it's all curfew now, and you can't sleep outside.

Although Brother Liu Qingshan said that he took dividends from Xue Yuan yesterday, he returned them to her, and gave Ah Niang Liu's some living expenses, so he kept his usual money as pocket money, which is nothing in Chang'an, where prices are high, and he has to tighten his belt to live, how can he have the money to take his cousin to be chic outside.

Liu Chenxing thought wonderingly, while leading the horse, walking through the pond in the front yard, and saw that the lotus flowers in the lotus pond were even redder, and he thought that soon he would see the lotus pond in full bloom, and there were small fish jumping out among the green lotus leaves.

This scene is vivid and interesting, Liu Chenxing stood by the lotus pond and took a closer look, and immediately found several fish, some big and small, and some shrimp were moving, it must be Aya who went to buy fish and shrimp today and put them in, and he wanted to eat fish and shrimp at any time in the future to come and fish.

When I first saw the pond, I had the plan of lotus flowers above, fish and shrimp and lotus root below, but I didn't know that I had to buy fish and shrimp later, but I didn't expect Aya to get them today, it seems that everyone is estimated to go to the West Market to buy things today, and they should be busy in the backyard at this time, so they haven't seen anyone for a long time.

Thinking like this in his heart, and seeing that the family was becoming more and more full of vitality, Liu Chenxing's smile jumped on his cheeks, and he didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly led the horse back to the backyard.

It wasn't dark yet, and the gray-blue sky still had enough light to see.

As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I saw Liu and Grandma Liu in the well outside the kitchen, with four large circular dustpans, on which they were drying green mushroom leaves.

Liu Chenxing smiled: "Auntie, Grandma, are you in Baojiao?" Saying that, he led the horse and walked over, and the little cousin Liu Qinghai probably heard her voice, and he didn't know what he was doing in the kitchen, so he came out and said, "Sister, you're back, just wait for you to eat, I'll lead the horse to the back stable, you wash your hands and face and change your clothes, we can eat!" Thinking of his cousin's exquisiteness, Liu Qinghai couldn't help but shake his head while holding the horse, his cousin is good at everything, but I don't know why I like to wash around.

Listening to my cousin's left sentence after meal, he must be hungry.

didn't care about his shaking his head, he was muttering to her, Liu Chenxing let Liu Qinghai go to let the horse go, and continued to Liu's and Grandma Liu: "With Grandma and Grandma here, home is like home, I remember that it is about to be the fifth day of the new year, but I forgot to deal with the matter of horn millet, and it is a shame for Auntie and Grandma to remember." But I'm going to go to the teacher's to practice calligraphy every day in the future, and it's probably this point when I come back, so don't wait for me to eat twilight food, grandma is getting older, and Qinghai is growing up again, so I'm hungry. While he was talking, Liu had already scooped a gourd of water from the bucket by the well, and Liu Chenxing knew that he was washing his hands, so he rolled up the sleeves of his official robe and walked over.

The water is from the well, but it has been in the barrel for a long time, and the water is not as cold as it was when it was first beaten.

The uproar was poured on Liu Chenxing's hands, and it was just right if it wasn't cold or cold.

Liu Shi washed his hands with water for his daughter by the well, and said: "I know that I have poured ecstasy soup, and I have forgotten about Bao Jiao Xiao, but before about noon today, the Wei Wangfu and the Li Mansion both sent the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Saying that, he glanced at his daughter without a trace, a touch of melancholy flashed quickly in his eyes, and only told himself that she had to think too much, she had to believe that her daughter was, and she couldn't let her daughter follow her thoughts, so she only suppressed the worry and hesitation in her heart, and told herself that it was all for her brother's sake, so she continued with an unchanged expression: "This is not rude, I watched them all send horn millet, and as soon as I had lunch today, I asked your brother to postpone the matter of finding Mr. Qinghai in Qinghai, and first took us to Xishi to buy this bag of horn millet things." ”

Horn millet is the modern zongzi.

It's just the leaves that wrap the ingredients, or the earliest mushroom leaves, as for the common reed leaves wrapped in zongzi in modern times, it is not prosperous at this time, after all, in the historical process of the Celestial Empire, there is a long time before the reed leaves are wrapped in zongzi.

Grandma Liu was washing the leaves while putting the washed leaves into the dustpan to dry, and when she heard her daughter and granddaughter mention the King of Wei and the Li family, she couldn't help frowning and said: "The King of Wei is the grandson of the dragon and the son of the Li family, and the lady of the Li family is also a noble figure, and there are a lot of gifts sent to the festival, and there are a lot of things to eat, so I haven't seen it, and I don't know how much it costs at a glance. ”

After speaking, he looked at Liu Chenxing.

Grandma Liu has always been unassertive, and now that her son and granddaughter are officials, she thinks that these two are the most powerful, especially the little grandson who has been rewarded by the empress, I am afraid that he is even more powerful than her own son, and she thinks that she is the most right.

Receiving the helpless gaze of her grandmother, Liu Chenxing threw the water in her hand twice on the ground, looking at the water flowing from her hands on the stone slab luxuriously in this era, she thought for a moment, looked up and said to Grandma Liu: "What is the situation of our family, King Wei and the Li family are clear, we can return the gift according to our ability, but Grandma waited for me to read the gift they gave first and then think about it carefully." ”
