Chapter 82: Under the Mountain
Chi Chi almost the whole person was nested in Cao Tingyu's arms, and he could feel the warmth and heat in his chest.
Autumn is strong, and the autumn wind in the morning is even more cold and biting, and you can feel the coolness of late autumn for a long time.
But she didn't feel cold at all, more excited.
She finally wanted to see what the real world was like.
Her face was hidden in the hood, but the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be concealed.
"Is it fun to go down the mountain?" Accustomed to the sound of the wind, the slow voice fell on Cao Tingyu's ears.
The two are so close now, Cao Tingyue can see her entire face clearly as long as she lowers her head slightly, and even her skin is within reach.
Cao Ting looked away, his Adam's apple moved, and then he lowered his voice and snorted, he steered the horse, and his speed did not slow down at all, Chi Chi seemed to be really impatient with this kind of bump, and almost the whole person was paralyzed in his arms.
It's not heavy, but he became more and more cautious, "The mountain is different from the palace, it's more fireworks in the world." ”
There will be mothers who are scolding and scolding while pulling the children, because the children go to play in the mud and make a mess;
There are also children chasing each other in the streets.
There are more merchants' shouting, they are going down the mountain at this time is estimated to be just in time to catch the morning market, the morning market has always been extraordinarily lively, I hope this time is the same, so as not to let the delay run in vain.
This is exactly what Chi Chi longed for, she pursed her lips tightly, and the light in her eyes seemed to be about to catch up with the dawn of the sun.
It was bumpy for a long time, but I still felt that it was easier than going up the mountain.
After all, the last time she went up the mountain, she was choked enough to sit in the carriage first, and then she had to climb up by herself.
Although she is afraid of turbulence, she actually feels that this horse riding for a long time is not much better than the carriage, but it is much faster, if you can choose, you still think it is better to hurry, you can shorten the time to endure hardship.
But what she didn't know was that she thought that all the people's carriages were the same, but in fact it was not true. For example, Jiahe's carriage, she almost slept all the way, there were few bumps, if it disturbed the princess's good sleep, I am afraid that the minions who rode the horses would be rewarded with a few whips.
Not to mention that her carriage was originally much better than Chi Chi, and the two were naturally not easy to compare.
The mountain of Huguo Temple is very lively, this village was originally just an ordinary village, or maybe more poor, but later Huguo Temple was built here, and the village under the mountain was also obtained, these years because it was the local officials who knew that the emperor would occasionally come to this Huguo Temple, for fear that this passing village would show the appearance of the people's livelihood, and they hurriedly allocated funds for treatment, but they were thriving in the establishment of this village.
The people in the village are also grateful for the great grace of this Huguo Temple, and on the fifteenth day of the new year, they will basically light a pillar of incense at home far away, which is considered a heart.
So as soon as I arrived in this village, I felt the liveliness that Cao Tingyue said.
The bazaar is really extraordinary, and she is not in a hurry to eat breakfast, but she is walking with Cao Tingyue, no matter what she sees, she feels very fresh.
Including all kinds of small dolls in the bazaar, handmade products and the like.
This bazaar will not be withdrawn until almost noon, so there is actually a lot of time now, Cao Tingyue looked at the sky, and then approached and lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, the hour is not early, why don't you have breakfast first and then continue to watch?" ”
He was cautious, for fear that he would ask the people next to him to hear Chi Chi's identity, Chi Chi naturally noticed this, smiled at him, and then said, "Since they are all out of the palace, and they are in the people, you don't have to call me like that." ”
Cao Ting looked at her more and more embarrassed, but Chi Chi didn't care, just said, "It's good to tell me to be Chi Chi." ”
"The minions don't dare."
Cao Tingyue hadn't called himself a slave in front of Chi Chi for a long time, but at this time he couldn't help but say it.
Even if he is close to Chi Chi in his heart, in the final analysis, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, and if he boldly calls her nickname, it is unreasonable.
Chi Chi turned his head back to look at those gadgets, and his tone was casual, "I asked you to call you, and I didn't let you call it in front of others, now it's just me, so it's more convenient to call it like this." ”
Cao Tingyue pursed his lips, couldn't say anything, and turned his head to look at him for a long time, "Then I'll call you Cao Tingyu, okay?" ”
"Just call whatever you want."
The name.
It seems that no one has called him this name for a long time, and the people below all call him the head of the class respectfully, and when he arrives at Ji Jia, he is more likely to call Xiao Caozi and other cheap people, and the name he has struggled to keep is actually called by few people.
Cao Tingyue felt a little funny inexplicably.
Chi Chi still followed Cao Tingyue to have breakfast first, she originally thought that with Cao Tingyue, a person who loves to arrange, even if she goes down the mountain, she will probably find a great good restaurant for breakfast, the best environment, and then several large plates are full, so that she also feels grand.
But she didn't expect that Cao Tingyue actually took her to a roadside stall, and then wiped down the chairs and tables for her one by one before letting her sit down.
He spoke, "The shopkeeper wants two nights of wontons." ”
"Okay!"
He turned his head to look at Chi Chi, his expression seemed to be a little worried, "Will Your Highness not be used to this kind of ......?"
Chi Chi shook his head, "No, I think it's quite fresh." "Actually, I miss this kind of roadside stall for a long time.
In the past, she was also a loyal fan of a roadside stall, and she had to sit at the intersection for breakfast and drink a bowl of soy milk and eat a fried dough stick, how could she not feel unaccustomed to it.
Cao Tingyu's eyebrows relaxed, and it was obvious to the naked eye that he was a little relaxed, he was too nervous, and he was afraid that he would feel that such a place had neglected her.
In fact, I didn't know for a long time, even everyone thought that she was just a dispensable master in the palace, but here in Cao Tingyu, she is the princess of the golden and precious princess.
There is no difference between her and Jia, they both need to be cared for.
That's why he was so cautious when he spoke just now. Because he imagined that if it was Jiahe who was sitting here at this time, he was afraid that he would immediately lift the table and leave, and he would be angry.
He ironed in his heart, and his expression was much gentler when he watched it late.
Soon the ravioli came up.
It's a small wonton that I've been used to eating for a long time.
The almost transparent wonton wrappers are filled with small meat balls, seemingly random balls together, and half a bowl is piled up in the clear soup.
There is a little oil splash on it, and there are a few fresh green onions floating on it, which makes people feel hungry and have an appetite immediately.
Chi Chi took the spoon and fished them one by one, and the taste was really delicious, no worse than what she had eaten in the past ten years.
But there is still an idea for a long time, maybe she has been in Huguo Temple for too long, that is, she has eaten vegetarian for too long, and when she eats meat at this time, even if it is just the simplest small meat particle, it makes her feel that her fresh tongue is going to fall off.
After a long time, he ate half a bowl in one breath, and Cao Ting, who saw it, felt more and more funny, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, if it's not enough, we will ask for another bowl." ”
Doesn't that mean she can eat it? Chi Chi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, blushed again, and then slowed down the speed of eating wontons.
Cao Tingyue glanced at her, the corners of his lips curled again, and then he turned his head and continued to talk to the shopkeeper, who was an old man with gray temples, "Ah Weng, I look at today's market It seems to be very lively." ”
The old man turned his head and glanced at Cao Tingyu, he looked peaceful, and when he heard the guest's question, he wiped his hand on the square towel and walked over, "Yes, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is coming to Huguo Temple again in the past few days, so there are a lot of people to see the excitement." ”
The spoon of the delay paused, and the eyebrows moved.
Cao Tingyue said, "Hey, it's strange, in this late autumn season, didn't Your Majesty go autumn hunting in previous years?" Why did you say you were coming to Huguo Temple this year? ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The guest is from out of town, right?" ”
Cao Tingyue said embarrassedly, "Ah Weng's eyes are very bright, we are from other places to visit the capital." ”
The shopkeeper nodded, "It's not from Nan'an, is it?" ”
Cao Ting sighed, "Ah Weng is so powerful? Can you tell where you come from just by looking at your face and talking? ”
The shopkeeper laughed, "The guest officer is serious, and the old man doesn't have such a big ability, but the guest officer doesn't know that in recent days, the continuous heavy rain in Nan'an, the rivers have lost their momentum, and the fertile fields have been washed away, and the people are not happy, and there is no leisure to come out to play." ”
Cao Tingyue gasped, "It's so serious?" He scratched his head again, "But Ah Weng, I don't quite understand, what does this have to do with His Highness coming to Huguo Temple?" ”
The shopkeeper leaned closer, and his voice was handed down, as if to hide people's eyes, "This is just a casual conversation with the guest officer, and the guest officer can easily take it seriously." ”
Cao Tingyue said, "This is nature. ”
The hand that was holding the spoon gradually tightened, and the speed at which she ate the wonton almost stopped, but she kept her head buried, so that no one could see her crimson ears.
But Cao Ting glanced at her more and more hurriedly, taking in her expression, he lowered his eyes and suppressed the smile under his eyes.
The shopkeeper had already spoken, "The guest officer doesn't know, it is said to be a natural disaster, and it is also a warning from heaven." This god has warned like this, if Your Majesty only cares about playing and going to autumn hunting, I am afraid that there will be many excerpts of the Yanguan again. ”
Cao Tingyue hurriedly sighed, and suddenly realized, "I see, then Your Majesty is coming to pray for blessings." ”
