"The courtiers are thinking that the concubine Niangniang has been in Rouran for so many years, and she must miss the taste of her hometown, so she specially made this plum blossom cake, and I hope that the concubine Niangniang will not dislike the courtier's vulgar craftsmanship!" Miss Xiao San shyly handed the food box in her hand to Concubine Zhen's maidservant.

"You have such a heart, it's too late for the mourning family to be happy, how can you dislike it?" Concubine Zhen glanced at Miss Xiao San, and felt that it was very pleasing to the eye, thinking about what He Shilang had just said, although the Xiao family's family background was a little worse than the Huang family, but it was better than the Xiao family's girl who was considerate and virtuous.

In this way, the girl of the Huang family is not as good as the girl of the Xiao family, but in addition to the Huang family and the Xiao family, the girls of other families don't know what the situation is, it seems that the matter of marrying a son is in a hurry, and she has to inquire clearly before making a decision, the son is already disobedient, and then there is an unfilial daughter-in-law, she really can't live in the soft days, the daughter-in-law here has to be well picked, there are seven of them, and they can't run away, slowly observe it, so calculated, Concubine Zhen looked at Miss Xiao San's eyes with a little deep meaning.

Miss Xiao San raised another food box and said, "The courtier also made some plum blossom cakes for the prince, and asked the concubine to hand it over on her behalf!" ”

Concubine Zhen casually nodded to the person behind her, "You send this food box to the prince, just say that Miss Xiao San made it herself!" ”

The attendant stepped forward to take the food box from Miss Xiao San's hand, and Miss Xiao San handed the food box to the maidservant, and explained, "This plum blossom cake should be eaten while it is hot!" ”

The maid nodded, Miss Xiao San pinched her hand, the maidservant trembled, pinched her palm, and retreated with the food box.

Concubine Zhen greeted Miss Xiao San and said, "You go to the felt tent of the mourning family with the mourning family to sit down, and tell the mourning family about the current situation in the capital, after so many years, I am afraid that many places have changed!" ”

"Yes!" Miss Xiao San saluted obediently, and saw the maid take the food box into Zhou Jin's felt tent and follow Concubine Zhen away.

Zhou Jin sent away Concubine Zhen, and was about to go out, when he saw a maid come in with a food box, "Lord, this is sent by the concubine Niangniang to the slave maid, it is the plum blossom cake made by Miss Xiao San from the capital, and it is sent to comfort the pain of homesickness with the concubine and the prince!" ”

"Leave it there!" Zhou Jin waved his hand casually.

The maidservant put the food box in front of Zhou Jin and whispered, "Miss Xiao San said that the plum blossom cake should be eaten while it is hot, and it will not taste good if it is cold!" ”

"Hmm!"

The maidservant didn't go down immediately, but said, "Miss Xiao San is afraid that the prince will be homesick, so she brought ingredients to Rouran and made this plum blossom cake to dedicate to the prince, but she kept in mind the teachings of men and women who are not close to each other, and entrusted the concubine to hand it over, which is really both virtuous and considerate, and knows how to be polite!" ”

"Where did you get this plum blossom cake?" Zhou Jin asked.

"I sent it to the concubine and the prince here!"

Zhou Jin knew in his heart, if he was really considerate and virtuous, he would take care of everything, not just these two places, this Miss Xiao San's thoughts were simply revealed.

Seeing that Zhou Jin didn't react again, the maid who had received Miss Xiao San's benefits was about to give Miss Xiao San a few more kind words, Zhou Jin suddenly said with a cold face, "Go down!" ”

The maid's face stiffened, so she had to go down, but Zhou Jin ignored the plum blossom cake in the food box, this Miss Xiao San was afraid that she didn't know the purpose of their coming to Rouran, so she took the lead in acting, and then there was more excitement, if Xu Shu was here, I was afraid that she would laugh at him again.

Xu Shu......

Xu Shu, where is she now? Is she okay?

After Xu Shu and Zhuang Li arrived in Pingliang City, because of the snow, they simply lived in that small courtyard, baking charcoal fire every day, and listening to the snow days were very comfortable.

Zhuang Li goes in and out every day, sometimes he comes back very late, Xu Shu just asks him what he is doing, but Zhuang Li will take the initiative to tell Xu Shu about the outside movement from time to time, Xu Shu is not very interested in the outside movement, and now she has something new to do.

On this day, the snow was extraordinarily heavy, Zhuang Li came back early, brought a basket of fish back, and Xu Shu smelled the unique fishy smell of fish from a long distance.

Zhuang Li put the bamboo basket containing the fish under the porch, shook the snow particles on his body and went to the house, opened the heavy door curtain, a wave of heat rushed to his face, Zhuang Li couldn't help but shiver, and saw Xu Shu curled up on the couch to read, and there was a burning stove on the side, so he sat opposite her, "Guess what I brought you back today?" ”

As soon as Zhuang Lifu approached, Xu Shu felt a chill to his bones, so he pushed the stove in front of Zhuang Li, "Do you still need to guess?" It's so fishy, I can smell it before you even enter the door! ”

Zhuang Li put his hand close to the stove to keep warm, and the orange flame rose with a burst of warmth, warming Zhuang Li's fingers that were almost frozen, "How did I forget, your nose is smarter than a dog's nose!" Although Zhuang Li was annoyed, his face was full of smiles, "Such a big snow, fish is a rare thing, I see that your appetite is not very good in the past two days, I specially bought it for you to add food, you have to thank me!" ”

"That's a good thank you, I went out of the city to buy a fish, and I really put my heart into it!" Xu Shu didn't even raise his eyes to look at Zhuang Li, and directly and ruthlessly exposed his lies.

Zhuang Li sneered, "How do you know I'm out of the city?" ”

Xu Shu looked out the window, "You caught the fish from the lake yourself, right?" ”

"You can smell that too?" Zhuang Li sniffed the clothes on his body, and sniffed his hands, but he didn't smell the slightest smell, and the fish was not caught by him, where did the fishy smell come from!

Xu Shuwan said, "It has been snowing for so many days, the lake has already frozen, how can there be fish to sell outside, if you don't catch it yourself, can you still grab it?" How can there be a lake in the city for you to fish, naturally you can only go outside the city, I don't believe that you will go out of the city to fish when you have nothing to do, there must be something else, fishing is just incidental! ”

"It's a bit of a trip out!" Zhuang Li smiled, but he didn't continue, Xu Shu didn't ask, this was the tacit understanding between her and Zhuang Li for many years, if he didn't say it, she wouldn't ask!

Zhuang Li glanced at the charcoal fire, and suddenly proposed, "There is fire and fish here, there is still a hanging of mutton left yesterday, and the snow has stopped, how about we set up a stove in the yard at night and burn it?" ”

Xu Shu waved her hand again and again, "If you want to burn and eat, go out early, the mutton is very fishy, make a yard smell, how to sleep at night!" The fish loses its original flavor even after it is grilled, so it is better to make fish soup to eat! ”

"You prefer fish soup, but I can't get used to it!" Zhuang has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, and prefers heavy food.

"The eldest sister likes fish soup, and after eating too much with the eldest sister, she fell in love with it too!"

Xu Shu felt a little uncomfortable when she thought that she couldn't go to see the only relative who remembered her after returning to Beijing.
