Chapter 54: Matters of the Heart

The portion of the dish is not much, and there is a pot on the table for one person. Zhao Lu: The wine on their table was all spirits.

Zhao Lu didn't drink this kind of wine before.

"In Ye'an, although alcohol is forbidden in the army, the weather is too cold, and there is no strong wine to warm the stomach, and the people in the city will freeze after patrolling outside." Zhao Lu picked it up and sniffed it: "Incense." ”

Xiao Dong only felt rushed, and he didn't know where the incense was.

Men and women are inherently different. Xiaodong is very sensitive to all kinds of smells and tastes, and he drank a glass of Sanhua wine with An Wang during the Chinese New Year, which was so spicy that he was teary-eyed, and he didn't suppress it after eating several sips of tea.

She took the rosy red in her cup and touched the cup with the two men.

The side dishes on the table are all what she likes, Qin Lie and Zhao Lu talked about it, and Xiao Dong buried his head in eating vegetables. Qin Lie suddenly asked her: "The soup I drank in the palace last time tasted very fresh, I don't know how it was cooked?" ”

Xiao Dong thought for a while: "Oh, that time. The soup is limited to its practical ingredients, that is, it is boiled with chicken broth, the soup is skimmed with oil, straw mushrooms, diced bamboo shoots, and fairy vegetables are added, and two drops of sesame oil are dropped when the pot is raised. Actually, it's nothing, most of the dishes for the New Year are too greasy for you to eat, and you feel refreshed when you drink that soup. ”

Zhao Lu said: "My sister has learned to make soup? I'll have to make it for me when I come back. ”

Xiao Dong smiled and narrowed his eyes: "As long as my brother is not annoying, I will do it every day." ”

Zhao Lu naturally smiled contentedly, and at a glance he saw that Qin Lie was also smiling like a cat that had stolen his mouth, and couldn't help but muttered in his heart: What coke does he have? He didn't have a sister to make soup for him.

"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet. If it weren't for the pair of Hidden Arrows you gave me, I was afraid that I would not have been able to escape last time. ”

Qin Lie raised his glass and said, "My own brother, why be polite. ”

The two had a drink. Xiao Dong only heard the word "Sleeve Arrow", and chased after him to ask why. Zhao Lu said it lightly, only saying that he repelled the horse bandits when patrolling the city. Xiao Dong clutched his sleeve tightly, although he knew that Zhao Lu was safe and sound, he still sounded scared. After Zhao Lu finished speaking, Xiao Dong also picked up the wine and said solemnly to Qin Lie: "Thank you, cousin, if you hadn't given your talisman to my brother......

Qin Lie intercepted her words: "It's all my own family, why bother talking about this." ”

I usually hear a lot of these three words from my family, but Xiao Dong doesn't know why at this time, but he feels that the three words Qin Lie said seem to have a deep meaning, and his face is slightly hot, and he covers it up by drinking.

As soon as Zhao Lu came back, he couldn't be idle for a few days, the children of the clan came to invite, and the friends who had been friends before also came to invite, all saying that it was to catch the wind and wash the dust, Xiaodong calculated, wash it at this frequency, not to mention the dust, that is, the skin was washed down several layers. The Luo brothers also invited him, and when Zhao Lu came back, he was six or seven points drunk, and his steps were steady, but he knew that he had too much wine when he looked at his eyes. Xiao Dong had already ordered someone to make a sobering soup, and at this time, it was served hot, Zhao Lu drank a bowl, frowned and said, "Bitter." ”

"It's not bitter." Xiao Dong tasted it, only sour: "How can it be bitter, it's the root of your tongue that is bitter." ”

Zhao Lu sighed: "Maybe." Alas, I drank too much today, and Luo Wei was still crying. ”

The hapless six horses are ......

Presumably there is nowhere to complain about the bitterness, pouring a stomach of wine and holding back tears, right?

Xiao Dong is also full of sympathy for him. But sympathy is useless, although in this era, although a man can divorce his wife, but he does not say that a horse can divorce a princess.

"What did he say?"

"I didn't say anything, that is, I was woken up by the sixth princess twice in the night, and I had to ask who I saw in my dream and whose name was it......"

Xiao Dong rolled her eyes, mother, I have heard that some fierce wives and husbands are in charge from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, but the sixth princess even has to ask who Luo Wei saw in her dream to understand clearly, it is deeper than the skills of those fierce wives, how can Luo Wei live these days. But why did the sixth princess plainly suspect that there was someone else in Luo Wei's heart?

Xiao Dong thought about it forward, in the past, when Yao Jinfeng was still there, Luo Wei would blush when he saw her. Whether he came to Jinfeng by himself or delivered a message for the third prince, Xiao Dong believed that he must be admired and infatuated with Jinfeng.

It's just that it was a few years ago, and Jinfeng had already left the capital.

Maybe Luo Wei has someone else in his heart? I don't know. Anyway, even if there is no now, sooner or later, the six princesses will have to force one out.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chongyang Festival is approaching, the weather is getting cooler day by day, Xiaodong took the post, it is the fourth princess to invite people to enjoy the chrysanthemum. Xiaodong went to socialize and said goodbye first, after the fourth princess gave birth, she became more and more round and jade, and she spoke kindly and thoughtfully, the atmosphere was good, but unfortunately the atmosphere was bad as soon as the sixth princess arrived, she looked bad but her complexion was not very good, the color of the rouge was used thicker, the powder on the face was white, it looked red and white, it didn't make people feel cute, but it felt a little fake, as if the stage was dressed in makeup. She has not been married for a long time, but there is no innocent and delicate charm of a girl between her eyebrows, combing a high flying fairy bun, wearing a magenta palace dress with a double lotus heart collar, and a pleated skirt sprinkled with gold flowers at the bottom, her eyebrows and eyes are delicately depicted, like a noblewoman.

Others laughed at her with a cold face, but when others praised the flowers, she was bitter and picky, saying that the wine was not good, the dishes were not good, the flowers were not good, and the people who came were not good, the laughter of the four princesses was almost unbearable, and the others were even more silent, for fear that which words would stimulate her again. Xiao Dong found a way to say goodbye early, and when he went out, he was only stunned, Luo Wei was talking to two people who didn't know whether it was the porter or the groom not far from the door, his robe was neat, but the color was like soy sauce, how to look at it and not be spiritual.

Xiao Dong was already about to get in the car, Luo Wei glanced at this side, was stunned, and hurriedly left the two people in front of him and came over this way.

Xiao Dong had no choice but to stand still and wait for him to come.

"The county lord is here too? Do you want to go back? ”

"Well, these two days have been busy preparing for the festival, and I can't be empty. Why don't you go in when you're here? ”

Luo Wei laughed self-deprecatingly: "I sent the princess here - there are all female dependents, what am I going to do in there?" ”

Xiao Dong didn't know what to say to him, so he had to say politely: "When you have time to come to the palace, my brother often mentions you." ”

She got in the car and left first, Hongfu rubbed her shoulders for her, and whispered: "The last time I saw Luo Gongzi, he was quite a spirited person, but now I look at it, how can I look like I am more than ten or twenty years old." ”

yes, not a little spirit.

It turns out that Luo Wei always holds his head high and speaks loudly. Now it looks like a tiger with its teeth pulled out and its claws cut.

"At that time, he had a future, and his life was promising."

Even if the sixth princess is not such a character, she can't hold a real position if she is a concubine, and Luo Wei has no future at all.

Seeing that she was depressed, Hongfu hurriedly diverted the conversation: "By the way, doesn't the second aunt and grandmother of the Shen family live not far from the front?" Don't you want to recognize the door? ”

Xiao Dong cheered up: "Really? Just this one? ”

"Not really." Hongfu asked the guards outside, turned her head and said, "Turn left at the entrance of Qiantou Street, and you will arrive with a cup of tea." ”

"Okay, then let's go and see."

The alley where Shen Fang lived was narrower, fortunately the car could still enter, the guards asked the people, went to knock on the door, someone answered the door, and Shen Fang unexpectedly came out of it.

"Oh, what a distinguished guest. What are you doing here? ”

"Passing by this neighborhood, let's get a door."

"I didn't clean up anything at home, it was a mess." Shen Fang was a little busy at first, and then laughed again: "Don't laugh, come in and talk." ”

The courtyard is indeed not big, it is said that it is two entrances, and the front is just a hall with two ear rooms, and it seems that there are people living in it. Then I went inside and entered the main house. Shen Fang pointed to the east chamber and said, "We live in this room, and the west side is for Bao'er to live." ”

"Huh? What about Boa? ”

"She had a cold, took medicine and fell asleep."

"Does it matter?"

"It's okay, I think I kicked the quilt at night."

Shen Fang led Xiaodong over, and the little girl really slept soundly, her face was as red as an apple. Xiao Dong put down a small purse next to her pillow and withdrew lightly.

The house is simple and elegant, and all the wooden utensils are half-used.

"Some of these were left by the original landlord, and some were brought over by relatives." Shen Fang said with a smile: "I don't want to clean up the rented house, I always feel that it is not my own place, and it is not interesting to clean up." ”

Rather, there is a lack of a sense of belonging.

But Shen Fang is a capable person, even if she says she hasn't cleaned up much, she looks very neat.

A maid came in with tea, and when Xiao Dong took the tea, she swept her eyes and found that her waist was bloated, even if her clothes were long and fat, she couldn't cover it.

Shen Fang said self-deprecatingly: "The place is too small, this one is going to be born, and I don't know how to live it." ”

Xiao Dong didn't answer this, Shen Fang's heart must not be as open as it sees. But at this time, a woman wants to be a "good wife", and this kind of heart-piercing thing is absolutely unavoidable.

Shen Fang asked, "What are you doing when you are dressed so neatly today?" ”

"The fourth princess invited me to enjoy the chrysanthemums, I thought it was boring, so I came back first."

"Four princesses, ......"

Shen Fang also used to be her companion, which was not a very pleasant experience. However, Shen Fang said it very clearly: "I have seen a lot of people during that time, and I have experienced a lot of things, but I have more experience than others, the fourth princess is a face-saving person, and she is not too harsh to treat people." ”

It's not generous.

The two talked for a while, and after drinking a cup of tea, Xiaodong said goodbye. Hongfu seemed to be still in a bad mood after seeing Xiaodong come out, and she could vaguely guess a little, but she didn't know what to say.

When a girl grows up, she always wants to get married, but when she gets married, how many of them can live as carefree and happy as when they were girls?

Xiao Dong opened a little curtain to look outside, and asked softly, "The last time you went home, are you okay at home?" ”

Hongfu was stunned for a moment before remembering that she was asking her, and hurriedly said: "The family is fine, my brother has married my sister-in-law and had children, and my nephew is almost as high as the table." My sister is also married, and the family is much better than before. I left the money that the county lord gave me to my family......"

Xiao Dong listened to her, but he didn't listen to her heart, she only felt a little trance, but she didn't think about anything in her heart.

The streets are lively, and the cars are not going fast. When he was about to cross the street, someone suddenly caught up from behind, reversed the horsewhip and knocked off the wall of the car: "Sister Xiaodong." ”

Xiao Dong looked up and saw Qin Lie's face, he leaned over from the horse, the two faces were not more than a foot apart, Qin Lie smiled slightly, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face that could not be said heroic.
