53 cold wind
"Can't you send some lovers?" Ye Congwei couldn't help but be curious.
It's not a singer or a dancer.,All of them were born in Fengyue places.,The education you have received since childhood is very different from that of a woman from a good family.。
"A man wants a flower, not a woman." Qi Su's eyebrows moved, meaning something.
Ye Congwei didn't dare to agree with this, women have always been taught to understand the general situation and be empathetic, and it is not only people in the dust who are interpretive flowers.
For example, she herself, many times, she hides her will, and Qi Su's will comes first.
Of course, she was luckier than other women, because Qi Su rarely did anything that embarrassed her except in bed.
Ye Congwei felt that even if Qi Su favored a beautiful woman and wanted to accept a side concubine, she would still accept it with a smile.
If not, what then?
"The prince doesn't need to ask me for my opinion," Ye Congwei said softly: "It's not too early, right?" ”
"I'm tired of the princess in the afternoon, just sleep."
Ye Congwei listened to him, did he not want to rest yet?
She didn't bother to care, because she was really sleepy, and if it weren't for the hospitality, she wouldn't have planned to eat dinner.
Ye Congwei took off his outer robes and got into the quilt, while Qi Su turned around and walked outside.
Si Lan came in and blew out the candle flames, leaving a faint light and not disturbing Ye Congwei's rest.
Si Mei checked the doors and windows of the charcoal basin and made sure that the prince was far away, so she dared to speak: "Why didn't the princess keep the princess?" ”
Ye Congwei in the mattress closed his eyes: "What do you leave him for?" ”
"The princess is confused, those dancing beauties are in our yard!"
Si Mei said, put down the iron tongs, ignored the charcoal basin, and ran towards the door with small steps, "I'll wait and see from afar." ”
"Come back," Si Lan stopped her, "Even if you see the prince go to the side room, what can you do?" ”
Si Mei turned around: "Report to the princess!" ”
Ye Congwei yawned a little and said, "It's useless to tell me." ”
That's the prince's woman, he can do whatever he likes.
But...... After a few afternoons, is Qi Su really okay?
Ye Congwei's muttering in her heart flashed, she was too sleepy, and ordered: "It's a cold day, you also go back to sleep, there is Chang Fu by the prince's side......"
"How can the princess be so generous?" Si Mei pouted helplessly.
Ye Congwei didn't respond to her again, the sound of breathing gradually became longer, and it was obvious that half of her feet had already fallen asleep.
She didn't know what was going on.
********
Seven or eight days passed, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve soon.
Ye Congwei had to admit that Qi Su brought her to this Zhuangzi to raise fat.
Eat, drink and be merry every day without any trivial worries.
Originally, she also thought that it would be the first time she was a housewife, and on a big festival like the New Year, I was afraid that there were a lot of rules and common sense to learn, so don't lose the etiquette.
Unexpectedly, Qi Su would not spend the New Year in the palace, and Ye Congwei also lost the opportunity for newcomers to practice.
It's a good place to be lazy, save on human contacts, and enjoy this moment.
The New Year's flavor of the villa is also very strong, and the peasant women here have a pair of skillful hands.
Holding red paper to cut window flowers, all kinds of complicated graphics, meaning auspicious, very interesting.
Ye Congwei watched, the red paper was folded again and again, and then he cut a small hole in the four corners, and when he spread it out, the result was amazing.
Finally, glue it with rice paste and stick it to the paper window.
The New Year, it is necessary to kill pigs and sheep, and this year there are special guests, which is more abundant.
In winter, the prey in the forest is hidden, but occasionally there will be 'fish that slip through the net' and fall into Wu Shaodong's trap.
Wei Ziyao, who was suspected of being of mixed blood, also advocated eating horse meat, and asked his men to slaughter one and bring it to him.
In the open space outside the Zhuangzi, there is a fire with gas and wooden stakes on both sides.
I don't know where they learned how to cook, but they carried a large copper pot in their hands.
Wide and deep, with a lid on the top and ear handles on both sides, a standard 'jar' type utensil.
Horse meat marinated in spices, with a small amount of vegetables such as potatoes and green onions, is stewed in a copper pot and hung on a shelf.
Ye Congwei first looked at the fire, and then at the copper pot, and was a little more convinced that Wei Ziyao was not from the Central Plains.
"Will the prince not be used to such a night?" He asked Qi Su with a smile.
The copper pot had been burning for more than half an hour, and in the meantime they had set the hot wine on the table as night fell.
"What is Wei Gongzi referring to?" Qi Su asked him rhetorically.
Wei Ziyao knocked on the table: "The prince has a noble status, presumably he won't drink a bar on the ground in the open air like this?" I've had the pleasure of participating in it a few times, and the food is exquisite and the interior is fragrant and warm. ”
"Fragrant? That's true," Qi Su nodded, and then sneered: "It's a pity that I don't know how to eat." ”
"Hahaha......" Wei Ziyao laughed out loud for some reason.
At night, the temperature is instantly different from the day, even in front of the campfire, it is still cold.
Ye Congwei had already put on the mink cloak that Qi Su bought, pure black, and seemed to be about to blend into this haze.
Good Chinese New Year's Eve, do you have to sit outside?
She was a little puzzled, but ...... Looking at the sealed copper can, I couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Wei Ziyao slowed down his laughter, raised his wine glass and said, "I don't dare to forget this cold winter wind, the prince should be able to understand my determination." ”
After he finished speaking, he drank it all to himself.
"This king has drunk wine in many places, in the palace, in the cabin, in the high pavilion," Qi Su's fingertips gently stroked the wall of the cup, "I can't remember." ”
"Oh? So where can the prince remember? Wei Ziyao's eyes were blazing.
"Naturally, when this king is really happy," Qi Su raised his eyes and looked at him: "Wei Gongzi obviously hates the cold wind, but he has to be in it, but be careful." ”
Wei Ziyao smiled indifferently: "Thank you for the reminder." ”
On the side, Ji Qufeng, who was obviously weak and still insisted on staying outside, said lightly: "If you are infected with the wind and cold, you will be terminally ill like me." ”
"I won't let myself get here, but what about you? Styles. Wei Ziyao put down the wine glass and sighed: "I'm really afraid that all of a sudden, you will leave me." ”
"Why curse me for the New Year." Ji Qufeng talked about his life and death, and he didn't frown.
Wei Ziyao didn't say anything anymore, and continued to chat and drink with Qi Su.
Seeing that the hour was almost there, he said, "You can open the can." ”
It didn't take long for the genius to be dark, and it was important to move the stall after eating early, otherwise it would be extremely cold when the night dew fell.
Ye Congwei sat beside Qi Su, like the most competent vase.
Eat silently and never interject.
She ate the horse meat in the copper pot, and the taste was special, different from the previous fried stews.
But...... Wei Ziyao deliberately offered these, which seemed to mean something.
The drunkard does not mean wine, nor horse meat.
In and out of the words, it seems that he has also experienced unsatisfactory, I don't know if he has been neglected or has a difficult ambition?
There seems to be a free and easy way to become benevolent if you don't succeed.
Ye Congwei boldly guessed that Qi Su was not a collaborator and a traitor, but through cooperation, to support each other?
I don't know what kind of chips this Wei Ziyao has in his hands......
Of course, these things were all Ye Congwei's blind thoughts, and she didn't know the actual situation.
Anyway, no matter what kind of relationship it is, Qi Su is not a fool, he will measure it.
*******
After eating the horse meat, the group moved to the venue, and the long hall with charcoal basins and incense was exactly what Wei Ziyao said.
Famous nobles, who doesn't have a banquet like this? Who will run outside to blow the cold wind.
Is that the people on the Xiban side like this?
Ye Congwei couldn't help but be curious, she had never seen it, or even heard of it.
After the meal, the hot tea was served, and after a short sit, Ye Congwei went back to the room first.
Leaving this group of big men to drink and talk about things, she didn't follow and mingle.
When I returned to the main garden, I was surrounded by my own people, and I was happy.
Silan Simei doesn't have to stand and wait all the time, sit down and eat hot.
Ye Congwei watched the two of them eat, holding a handful of candied fruit in her hand.
"Princess, are we going to keep the New Year tonight?" Si Mei scratched her face and asked.
"Do you want to keep the New Year?" Ye Congwei threw the question back.
"Of course I thought about it, be sincere, ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters." Si Mei didn't think about it, and said: "But here, many rules are exempt from ......"
There are no offerings to reward the gods, there is no kneeling to restore, and even the firecrackers are set off by the farmers working in the Zhuangzi.
Ye Congwei smiled: "Just have sincerity in your heart." ”
Perhaps because she had died once, she seemed to dismiss these rituals.
In the past, in the Hou Mansion, they all followed behind their sisters and bowed to their families, but now when they are by Qi Su's side, he has the final say in everything.
As a person who lives in Qisu, when he comes to the mountain villa for the New Year, will he follow the rules and do everything he should do on Chinese New Year's Eve? Apparently impossible.
Moreover, this New Year is probably unusual for him.
For the big things he is planning, these details are not worth talking about.
Just now...... He also said that even if the banquet place is fragrant, it is not delicious.
Is it because of the concubine of Shuiyun Palace?
is separated from his biological mother by many palace gates, and even separated by a rebellious royal brother.
How can you be happy for the New Year? No matter how much he burns incense and worships the Buddha, no one can help him, except himself.
"It's cold and sleepy to keep the New Year, so it's better to be free this year." Ye Congwei took out two red seals from his sleeve pocket.
When Si Mei saw it, she immediately smiled: "Princess, Happy New Year!" Give birth to a noble son early! ”
"Huh?" The latter sentence is not bad, Ye Congwei smiled and handed over the red envelope.
"Thank you, princess, for a good year ahead." Silan was much more stable.
"Although Sizhu Siju is not here, he also has a share, you can help me hand it over to them when I go back." Ye Congwei arranged it early in the morning.
She got up and went to the inner room again, and took out a few others, which were for the little servants around Qi Su.
As the main mother, it is always difficult to favor one over the other, so she handed it to Silan and asked her to distribute it on her behalf.
"An Yan, they are still waiting in the front yard, and I don't know how long they will drink." Si Mei said.
Ye Congwei glanced at her: "Don't care how long the prince drinks, if you are sleepy, go to sleep first." ”
"Oh......"
Si Mei didn't bother to say it, she really felt that the princess was too generous to her husband.
Whether it's going to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, or receiving beauties, or drinking all day long, it's completely laissez-faire.
Don't fight or grab, the most negative master, this is the only one.
