Chapter 42 Spring Warmth in the Apricot Forest

Youwei said: "I'm just talking. Nowadays, we must be cautious in every step, because if we make a mistake, we will invite disaster. ”

Youwei suddenly saw that Yu Yao's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, so she said, "I've never seen you sweat this way in the morning." ”

Yu Yao heard her talk about it before he realized, hurriedly brushed away the fine beads of sweat, and suddenly remembered the things in the dream, it seemed that he had ridden a horse all night, and chased Wen Cang all night, and now he only felt that his limbs were sore and his muscles and bones were tired, so he said: "I had a very tiring dream last night." ”

Youwei said with a smile: "I ordered it last night, and asked someone to prepare Zhenjun porridge for you, which is light and fragrant with apricots, and I am afraid that it is the most suitable for you to eat in the morning." ”

Yu Yao also nodded and smiled: "Competing for the Lotus Peak is like a guest from Lotus Peak, and planting red apricots will also ascend to immortals." It can be regarded as a good start for today's elegance. ”

After a while, the maids of the Imperial Garden came in droves, serving porridge and side dishes.

If you say that the "Zhenjun porridge" mentioned by this Youwei, there are also some allusions.

Zhenjun was originally an immortal in Taoism, and the Zhenjun of Zhenjun porridge refers to Dong Feng, a famous doctor during the Three Kingdoms period.

Legend has it that Dong Feng loved apricots the most, and other doctors collected consultation fees for patients, but he only let the recovered patients plant a few apricot trees in return. In the end, the mountains and forests where Dong Feng lived were planted with apricot trees all over the mountains, which is why the good doctor was called the "Holy Hand of the Apricot Forest".

Dong Feng has been helping the world all his life and is widely loved by the people of the time.

People are willing to believe that even if he dies, he will be ranked in the immortal class and continue to bestow blessings, so he was called "Dong Zhenjun" after his death.

And "Zhenjun porridge" is actually apricot porridge, which is a rare medicinal diet, which has the effect of relieving asthma and cough.

Youwei specially arranged Zhenjun porridge for Yu Yao and Wen Cang to make breakfast, which was sweet and sour and appetizing, and the side dishes on the side could also be eaten more.

After finishing breakfast, Youwei, Yu Yao, and Wen Cang took Xi'er and Mi'er, who were dressed as ordinary maidservants, all the way south to Xiangzhou.

Although several of them changed their faces and hid their identities, the emperor had already secretly sent people to protect each other, so they crossed the province and crossed the border, and the journey was calm and peaceful.

A few days later, Youwei and her group of five had arrived in Xiangzhou.

Xiangzhou is not as good as Xingzhou, and it is not an important town, so there are no heavy troops to guard it. Street vendors are bustling and free to come and go.

Yu Yao sat in the carriage with Youwei, Wen Cang rode a tall horse beside her, and Xi'er and Mi'er were driving the carriage while observing the surrounding situation, for fear that an assassin would attack.

As soon as she stepped into the territory of Xiangzhou, Youwei said to Yu Yao: "It's been expected!" Let's go to the spring feast to see it! ”

Yu Yao motioned for her to be softer, and said with a smile: "I don't know if you're careful about it?" Just don't make a big deal. ”

Yu Yao secretly pointed at Wen Cang outside and continued: "Don't scare people. ”

Youwei's cheeks turned red when she heard this.

Yu Yao gently lifted the curtain and said to Wen Cang: "Brother Wen, everyone has not had a good pitch in the past few days, nor has they eaten a decent meal, and now that they have arrived in Xiangzhou City, they must be loose and loose, otherwise the strings will break after a long time." ”

Wen Cang said: "Brother Yu is reasonable. ”

Yu Yao said again: "I heard that there is a famous chef in Xiangzhou City, Brother Wen was born in Linglong Mountain since he was a child, and it is also rare to see it, so let's try it together." ”

Wen Cang smiled: "If that's the case, that's the best." ”

Yu Yao then instructed Xi'er and Mi'er to ask passers-by how to get to the spring banquet.

A man from a goldsmith shop on the side of the road said, "I walked along the road and saw a very magnificent high-rise pavilion." ”

Everyone walked forward according to the words, and sure enough, they saw a colorful building Huanmen, the whole door face was tied with wooden strips, the wooden windows were painted with vermilion green, the railings were painted with colorful patterns, and there were golden and red gauze gardenia lampshades all around.

As far as the eye can see, the interior decoration is also shining, and it is full of low-hanging curtains and flowers and bamboos to cover up.
