The sound of horses' hooves was not slow, and Lu Yi's voice was also very gentle: "At that time, the place of exile was Zhengshengguan in the west of Liangzhou...... The princess may know that Zhengsheng Pass is thousands of miles away from the capital. ”

Liu Yan may not know about other places, but she really knows about Liangzhou.

Because at that time, Tian Lin was unlucky enough to send a trip to Liangzhou, Zhengshengguan is still in the northwest of Liangzhou, it is really a barren land on the border, and I don't know what mistakes Lu Yi's maternal grandfather made back then, and the punishment was so heavy - you must know that the exile is too far away, and the people are old, and many people die halfway when they get to the wrong place.

"At that time, the family property was confiscated, and the slaves were sold, fortunately, someone said that someone interceded, and the family members escaped the catastrophe, and were not punished as official slaves, at that time, it was a relative of the clan who accompanied his grandfather on the road, and when he walked halfway, the weather was cold, and it snowed heavily for days, and he really couldn't hurry, and stayed in a farmhouse for a few days, and it was the time of the New Year."

Lu Yi said it easily, and Liu Yan imagined the tragic situation at that time.

The Chinese New Year is obviously a good time, but on the way to exile, trapped in the snow, poor and sick, and life and death, this is really tragic.

"My grandfather taught the children of that family arithmetic and taught him some words, and the farmer was very grateful, and rushed to celebrate the New Year, and wanted to entertain him well. But the peasant family was already very poor, and he really couldn't come up with anything good, even for the Chinese New Year, and there was no decent food at home. That is, radish in the cellar, a piece of bacon, some rough noodles......"

Ah, speaking of turnips.

"My grandfather actually used to make food because he loved to eat and loved to eat. However, when he was an official, he didn't worry about food and clothing, and he poured those that could be called elegant, but at that time, it was really to fill his stomach, and when he was hungry and cold, he couldn't be elegant. ”

"So, the old man figured out the radish soup at that time?"

Although Liu Yan could eat the simple ingredients, he didn't expect it to be so simple.

"Yes, it's not that hard. Cut a little fat on the bacon, refine the oil in the pot, cut the radish into cubes, wrap the noodles outside, fry it in oil, add water to boil the soup, add some chopped bacon, oh, there was an egg at that time, beat an egg flower, and made a big pot of soup out. Outcome...... It was especially delicious. My grandfather said that he had been collecting and studying food for so many years, but he had never drunk such a delicious soup, and even his heart warmed when he drank it. The two men who escorted him at that time also drank this soup, and both praised him for its good cooking, and when the snow melted and he went on the road again, they treated him a lot more kindly. ”

"Ah...... It turns out that this soup has such a origin. ”

Liu Yan understood a little.

If it is really delicious, this soup is certainly not the best. Just like the good soups and ingredients pondered by the imperial chef, they are so rich and precious, and they are much stronger than this soup in terms of taste. But when people are in a difficult situation and at the end of the road, they meet a kind family, and they can drink such a pot of soup during the New Year, which is really a thousand dollars.

"Later, the world became more chaotic, and my grandfather returned to his hometown, when I was young, he used to cook this soup for me to drink, and told me what happened at that time......"

Liu Yan listened to his tone and glanced sideways.

Lu Yi's expression was a little melancholy.

Did he think of his grandfather, who had passed away? And maybe his mother.

His mother had also been dead for many years.

"Thank you, the soup is delicious, the queen mother and I drank two bowls yesterday."

Lu Yi turned his head and smiled at her: "Really? That's good, you have to like it, and I'll make it for you to drink in the future. ”

I don't know if it's because today's sky is particularly blue and the sun is extraordinarily warm and bright, Lu Yi's smile made Liu Yan feel a little dazzling, her chest was pounding, and she was a little flustered when her voice was loud.

Liu Yan leaned back and let out a long exhale.

Maybe it's too hot today.

"Princess......" Lu Yi called softly outside.

"Well," Liu Yan responded, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard that the princess embroidered a very chic begonia purse a few days ago, and it is spread inside and outside the palace, I am also very curious, I wonder if the princess can lend me the purse to take a look?"

Pouch?

Liu Yan suddenly stopped flustered, his face was not hot, he sat up straight and slammed the curtain: "What are you looking at?" What's so nice! Don't believe the rumors. ”

Lu Yi's voice sounded a little strange, as if he couldn't help but smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I must not listen to and believe partially." ”

What a man! It's really a pot that can't be opened.

What's not to mention, why do you have to mention that begonia purse!

Speaking of purses, the second purse made by Liu Yan finally passed the test.

But the problem is that it was Mr. Cheng who asked her to rework and redo, and when she was done, Mr. Zhang's illness was cured, and the second purse was handed over to her, she was full of praise, praised and praised, and praised Liu Yan was very embarrassed.

Mr. Zhang not only boasted about himself, but also gave the matter back to Empress Cao, and then ......

The second purse was taken away by his father.

Although the second one is stronger than the first, it is not too strong, and it doesn't look so stumbling, but if the father wants to wear it out to see people, then others will definitely laugh when they see it.

Liu Yan said that the emperor promised not to wear it outside, but to wear it when he wore regular clothes.

Someone will see that, too.

In short, Liu Yan feels that the word purse is related to herself, and there are begonias, she doesn't want to hear topics related to "begonias" and "purses" this year.

"By the way, there is something ......" Lu Yi said: "It's also an interesting thing, I don't know if the princess wants to hear it." ”

Interesting?

Lu Yi can say that it is an interesting story, it must be interesting.

Liu Yan wanted to say "I don't want to listen" angrily, or simply leave him silently, who told this person to expose her shortcomings just now.

But it's an interesting fact...... It's a shame to miss this time, and I don't know when I'll hear it next time.

She still couldn't hold back, and snorted before asking, "What's the funny thing?" Tell me about it. ”

"Yes, a while ago, I had a friend who was patrolling the streets of Nancheng and saw a strange incident of selling himself to bury his mother."

"Uh......"

It was obviously a tragic thing to sell himself to bury his mother, but he said it was an interesting thing and a strange thing.

Liu Yan was very curious: "Who is the person who sold his body?" ”

"A young girl, who claimed to be seventeen years old and was born beautifully, knelt on the side of the street, beside a corpse wrapped in a straw mat."

"So, did anyone buy it?"

Liu Yan seems to have heard of such things before, but some of them are true, and some of them are false.

Because the palace people around her had a similar experience, in the event of a famine and war, the family members died, but in that kind of year, it was difficult to even sell themselves to bury their families, and the corpses were dragged away and thrown into mass graves, who has the spare energy to bury them properly? Speaking of which, the palace maids and eunuchs have a lot of miserable lives, and if you write them down carefully, those stories can fill a room.
