Chapter 140 Benevolence
Gao Yu looked at her faint expression, felt anxious, held her hand tightly and said affectionately, "An Zhi, I know you are difficult to accept now, but I really love you, the sky can learn from the sun and the moon are concentric, I Gao Yu said to do it, if An Zhi agrees to be my Gao Yu's woman, I will treat her well in the future, pity her, give her the best love, and give her the best gold, silver and jewelry in the world." ”
Looking at Zhou Anzhi's exquisite makeup, it always made his heart skip a beat, he had already tasted Zhou Ruosu's taste, if he was compared to Zhou Ruosu, he felt that Zhou Anzhi would be more addictive.
"General Gao is serious, An Zhi doesn't dare to climb General Gao, today An Zhi should have never heard of it, General Gao should have never said it." Zhou Anzhi didn't expect Gao Yu to suddenly express his heart to her, and he was still a little shocked, but now it looks normal, I'm afraid I've had enough of Zhou Ruosu, men are just like this, when they get tired of playing, they turn their eyes to other women, and what they can't get is always fascinating. Zhou Anzhi withdrew his hand and took a step back again without a trace.
Gao Yu looked at Zhou Anzhi who still lowered his head lightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, are all women the same now, they want to refuse and welcome, but such a stunning beauty, and he wants to refuse and welcome, but it seems a little more interesting.
"Anzhi, I really love you, promise to marry me, and General Ben will give a dowry like Lord Zhou tomorrow." Gao Yu still pretended to be affectionate, leaning close to Zhou Anzhi and trying to wrap around her slender waist.
Zhou Anzhi walked to the other side, without any scruples about Gao Yu, whose hand stayed in mid-air, and said lightly to Yingge on the side, "General Gao, forgive me for not having love for the general, I hope the general will find another good wife." Yingge, take General Gao to the other courtyard to change clothes, I am waiting for General Gao here. ”
asked her to misinterpret her meaning, Zhou Anzhi was not tactful, and said bluntly, and after speaking, he ordered Yingge on the side.
Yingge responded, resisted the urge to go up and kill Gao Yu and took someone away, if it weren't for Zhou Anzhi's eyes, she would have gone up and hacked him when Gao Yu moved his hands and feet.
Zhou Anzhi looked at the departing figures of the two, Gao Yu was really stupid to the point of being outrageous.
And the banquet became more lively after Gao Yu arrived.
……
As the saying goes, there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Since ancient times, there have been countless literati and writers who have indulged in the gentleness of this Jiangnan and written countless poems and songs that have been passed down through the ages.
The emperor's visit to Jiangnan this time is to personally experience the customs and customs of Jiangnan, and it is very likely that he will pay a private visit.
Zhou Lu, who was pondering in the study, couldn't help frowning when he thought of this. I kept rubbing this paperweight jade, thinking about how I could arrange all the matters during the emperor's private visit, so as not to make mistakes.
Zhou Lu was ordered to wait for the emperor and his entourage to settle down, and saw the emperor's attendants hurriedly issuing a summoning order.
In the main hall, he ordered to summon Zhou Lu, "Zhou Aiqing, I want to really observe the people of Jiangnan, and the scenery of Jiangnan is also what I have been looking forward to, I hope that Zhou Aiqing can take me to truly appreciate this Jiangnan that belongs to me." ”
When Zhou Lu heard this, his face collapsed, he immediately bowed his head, and immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, the ministers are terrified, but the emperor has a body of ten thousand gold, and the ministers are afraid that the protection will not be effective, please think deeply." ”
The emperor was dressed in a black robe, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and his thumb with a blood jade wrench knocked on the edge of the Eight Immortals Pear Flower Wood Table carefully carved and polished by Jiangnan carpenters.
"Since that's the case, how about letting General Gao Yuan accompany him, then Zhou Aiqing can be trusted by General Gao Yuan?"
Zhou Lu lowered his head, and the emperor couldn't see his expression clearly.
At this time, Zhou Lu frowned, but still calmly replied, "General Gao's martial arts are strong, and he will definitely be able to protect the emperor, but Weichen is loved by the emperor, and Weichen will definitely arrange the emperor's travel, and I hope that the emperor can rest assured." ”
The emperor said, "In this case, Zhou Aiqing please hurry up, then please ask Zhou Aiqing to think carefully." ”
At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 is approaching, and Jiangnan is the most intoxicating season at this time.
The slightly arc disc hangs brightly in the galaxy, the small bridge bends the water, and the secluded courtyard is hidden in the landscape, looming, confirming the sentence "Heaven and earth are natural, and all things are one"
The soft words of the glutinous children's voice came down the water from time to time, and the sound of pounding clothes one after another entered the ears, adding more gentleness and crispness to this gentle township in the south of the Yangtze River.
There are wide-leaved lotus flowers everywhere on the side of the stone road, not a small lotus boat shuttle, the lotus girl sings a unique folk song in the south of the Yangtze River, and the full lotus seeds are even more photographed with the harvest.
The emperor and his entourage walked leisurely on the stone road in the south of the Yangtze River, along the way, this team attracted the eyes of countless Jiangnan girls, and the emperor in a black robe picked up the folding fan in his hand and joked to General Gao Yuan, "Can I afford to live in Aiqing?" ”
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately withdrew his heart-swelling eyes, "Back to my emperor, Gao Yu is responsible for protecting my emperor, but these are not within my consideration." ”
The emperor didn't believe it, laughed and walked forward, Gao Yuan stopped in place, and couldn't help but be annoyed that he had lost an opportunity to show himself to the emperor.
Passing by a unique Jiangnan tea shop, the shopkeeper has a discerning eye, a team of people are extraordinary, and one of them is a young man in a dark robe who is even more handsome.
The shopkeeper presented the big red robe soaked in top spring water for the adults who called themselves "Huang Ye", and introduced a lot of interesting things about Jiangnan with witty words, and also recommended Linchun on the first floor of Jiangnan. It is said that this building has the best dragon well in the south of the Yangtze River.
The emperor couldn't help but get up, and led a group of people to Linchun.
The emperor, Zhou Lu, Gao Yuan and the prince and other people came to Linchun, this restaurant is located near Qushui, just walked into the restaurant, Zhou Lu instructed the shopkeeper to go to Zhelanju, and ordered to serve the best food.
The emperor and his entourage sat down in a spacious pavilion, the pavilion was surrounded by pink yarn, and the moonlight was even more hazy against the backdrop, and not far away there was a girl playing the puff leaves, and the distant sound of the piano spread everywhere along the cool wind in the south of the Yangtze River at this time.
The first emperor, the two princes sat on the left hand side of the emperor in order, and Gao Yuan and Zhou Lu also sat down according to their official positions.
On the grass in front of the pavilion, several fair women in dance clothes slowly appeared, catering to the more gentle rhythm of the pipa, the sleeves of several dancers swayed upward, and their dexterous waists were like the colorful willows in the south of the Yangtze River, dazzling.
On the other side of the gazebo, a group of cardamom girls with ear-length sideburns came forward with plates, and the dancers also stopped dancing, and stood at the table with dexterous steps, using slender hands to cloth vegetables.
The abundance of products in the south of the Yangtze River is really breathtaking, just this banquet is already ten thousand taels of silver, and its tea is all top-level Longjing.
It is said that this tea is harvested in the early hours of the morning, when the sun has just hit the first dew on the tea leaves, and it is carefully picked by the purest cardamom maiden.
It has been dried in the most natural and primitive way, carefully selected at every step, and it has gone through thousands of steps to extract one or two, which is really as expensive as gold.
One of the dishes, called Jinyu Liangyuan, uses jade shoots unique to the south of the Yangtze River, which are found by the oldest mountain climbers at certain times, often hidden in unknown depths.
This dish is based on jade shoots, lined with ground gold leaf, shining with a little golden light, and the two complement each other in the smooth green of the jade shoots, and then add the ancient recipe specially prepared by Linchun Lou in the south of the Yangtze River, which is endlessly evocative.
And it is approaching late autumn, as a fat and certain hairy crab, Zhou Lu introduced in the pavilion,
"The hairy crabs in Linchun are also known as spring drunken crabs, as the name suggests, they refer to those hairy crabs that are drunk because of the beautiful Shaoguang of the girl"
Hearing this, the emperor clapped his hands and laughed, and he actually said it quickly from this allusion.
Zhou Lu recruited a dancer, and the dancer sat down slowly, removing the shell of the hairy crab for Huang Ye with skillful hands, and told the allusion of the famous dish spring drunken crab.
Legend has it that there was a young girl who was picking lotus by the stream and accidentally got her clothes wet, and the kind and virtuous girl was afraid that she would be scolded by her mother when she returned home, so she would prop up her clothes and dry them in the warm sun.
The crabs in the creek are also drunk in this pleasant spring light. With the narration of the dancing girl, the hairy crab was also presented to everyone, the crab meat was snow-white, the taste was exquisite, and the emperor was full of praise.
Later, it was handed down From then on, this spring drunken crab is no longer called a spring drunken crab, but a drunken yellow crab.
At the banquet in Linchun Tower, the emperor proposed a wine order, which began with Yu Yixuan.
Yu Yixuan picked up the small and delicate Qu Qi cup, "The son respects his father and the emperor with a cup." ”
The emperor was overjoyed and said goodbye.
After a while, because Gao Yu didn't know much, he drank the most, and looked at the dancing girls in the courtyard with dull eyes.
Yu Yixuan laughed secretly, but he didn't say too much, it was none of his business, and he still maintained an elegant demeanor.
In the early morning, the sun softly shone into the emperor's room, at this time the emperor was dressed in plain clothes, his hair was tied up with a jade crown, he was sitting on a chair and reading a book, facing the past is a window, the window is in all kinds of flowers and plants, and accompanied by the joyful cries of various birds, it is a fairyland.
Even if the emperor is dressed ordinary, it is difficult to hide the emperor's aura, but this emperor's aura is a little soft, the so-called benevolence.
Governing the world with benevolence, it is no wonder that Jiangnan is so prosperous and the people are so loved.
"Knock knock." Then there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in." The emperor held a book in his hand and said slowly.
A man in a light blue robe came in, looking very ordinary, the kind that would be buried on the street, but he had a resolute temperament, which made people feel more good.
The people around the emperor are just different.
"Your Majesty, today Mrs. Zhou came to inform her subordinates, saying that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and tonight's lantern festival will be very lively. The man bowed his hand, and replied in a thick voice.
"Really? It seems that my luck is not bad. By the way, why didn't Mrs. Zhou come? "I was in a good mood when I heard this, after all, this is a treatment that is not available in the palace.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are afraid that Mrs. Zhou will disturb the emperor, so I let Mrs. Zhou go back first, and my subordinates will take the talk." The man replied without a hint of concealment.
"The next time Mrs. Zhou sees me, there must be no more obstacles." The emperor said with some anger.
"Yes, my subordinates obey." The man said with a respectful hand.
