Chapter 123 Sourdough

King An's mansion is also full of joy, sprinkling and cleaning inside and out, and even the leaves of the flowers and trees have been specially wiped, and the green is gratifying.

"Uncle Fuhai."

"The county lord is good, the uncle is good, this road is hard, and the prince is always worried." Fuhai greeted them in with a smile. The various gifts brought by Xiao Dong were carried into the door one by one. Fuhai twisted his beard: "Look, it takes a lot of effort to get such things." ”

"I don't have to carry it, and I don't have to carry it, but it's just picky. Ah, what about my dad? ”

"The prince is in the study, but I've been waiting for a while."

Xiao Dong walked in quickly, and before he reached the door of King An's study, he saw Zhang Ziqian walking out quickly.

Qin Lie clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Ziqian, I really dare not take it seriously." ”

"Where's the word?" Zhang Ziqian smiled and said, "The prince was still chattering just now, the county lord please come in." ”

Xiao Dong walked into the courtyard gate, An Wang was standing in front of the study window, Xiao Dong only felt a sour nose, walked a few steps quickly, and Ying Ying bowed: "Father." ”

King An helped her up and looked her up and down carefully: "Well, I've lost weight, but I'm in good spirits." ”

An Wang's finger wiped her cheek: "How old are you still crying?" Could it be that Qin Lie bullied you? ”

Xiao Dong hurriedly wiped his face with his hand: "Who cried." How are these days, father? ”

"Well, everything is fine here for Father. How is Suizhou? ”

Xiao Dongyi chattered beside King An, and King An listened with a smile. Xiaodong probably ran out a lot this summer, his hair was a little dry and burnt, even if he used hair oil, he still didn't obey very well, and his bun was a little fluffy. Wang An was in a trance, remembering what she looked like when she was a child. The hair is also yellow and soft, tied with a head rope, a small handful.

"I also went to the Yao family's old house, but I haven't seen anyone from the Yao family."

"Really? What's going on there? ”

"Well, the house is still in good condition and the courtyard is quite clean. But it was very desolate, and there was only one person guarding it. ”

"Is it Lao Guan?"

Xiao Dong shook his head: "I don't know...... He didn't speak. ”

"Well, the house saw it too?"

"Well, it's in." Xiao Dong paused, she didn't bring the jade ring out today. I don't know why—she had a gut feeling that it was better to keep it quietly. That thing should not be owned by King An, and there is no need to take it out for him to worry about, and he is sad about the past: "The house is also very clean, but it is empty." Father, I don't really remember what my mother looked like. ”

King An whispered, "Your mother was born beautifully. ”

"So, am I like her?"

King An shook his head: "It's not very like." ”

Xiao Dong touched his face: "Well, they all say that my daughter is like a father, and I probably look more like you." ”

An Wang smiled and stroked her hair: "Maybe." I used to live in that house. ”

"Really?"

"Well, there are two windows against the east wall, aren't they?"

"yes." Xiao Dong remembered that she once pushed the window open.

"In the morning, people haven't woken up yet, the sun has risen, and the bright light is shining on people's faces, and they can't be lazy and look at it for a while. Outside, there were people selling vegetables with burdens, and the shouting was so loud that it was so continuous that it could be heard throughout the alley. ”

Xiao Dong had also heard the shout, it was long, and the dialect could not be understood, but the voice was loud and crisp, and it could be transmitted far away.

"When was that? Is there me? ”

"Of course there weren't you back then." King An said: "There is a begonia in the yard, and your mother will pick a half-open flower and stick it on her head, and her hair is oily, thick and dense, and the flowers are more red and brighter." She also cooks the rice herself, but her skills are only average, and she burns the rice a few times. ”

With a faint sadness on King An's face, Xiao Dong didn't interrupt and listened to him continue.

"We didn't go anywhere during that time, so we stayed quietly in the house. If I write, she will sharpen the ink for me. If she washes her hair, I'll slowly comb and dry it for her. Lao Guan was not a talkative person at that time, he was silent all day long, and almost made people forget his existence. Those days were the most alive and easy for me. Well, one day we went out, but it rained halfway, and it was at that time that I met Qin Lie's mother, who was about to give birth, because of the heavy rain, she was also trapped, and there was no one around, and the situation was very bad. ”

"Ah......" It turned out to be that time, and Qin Lie was born at that time.

"It's dangerous. If her father and mother hadn't met her at that time, then maybe ...... "There is no such person as Qin Lie in the world."

"So, it's also fate." King An said, "Your mother left some belongings for her, but she was very stubborn and only thanked her, but refused to accept them. ”

"And then?"

"Later...... There is a change in Beijing, and I have to rush back. Sometimes I think if I don't come back by then......"

So what happens?

The current emperor may not be able to ascend to the throne smoothly, and maybe King An will not become King An. What will happen to him and Yao Qingyuan? No one can say well.

Because assumptions are just assumptions.

"By the way, father, I brought a lot of tea from Suizhou, as well as wine, Suizhou's sour brewing is quite famous, I tasted it once, the wine is not heavy, sweet and not spicy at all. Qin Lie also took me out for tea porridge once. ”

"Are you used to eating?"

Xiao Dong shook his head vigorously and said, "It's not delicious at all." The fried noodles are mixed with tea leaves, as well as sugar, sesame seeds and lard, and the taste is not to mention how weird. It is greasy in the mouth, and it is difficult to swallow, as if it is stuck in the throat. ”

An Wang laughed: "Well, I also tasted that once, although it is not very delicious, but that one is compacted, and it is a good dry food to carry on the body, take a few pieces on the body, and take hot water to soak when you want to eat, it is very full, and you are hungry." ”

"That's what you're saying. I've brought a few pieces with me, do you want to come back and try them again, and have a good aftertaste? ”

"You girl, even I joked. I've heard that the road isn't very peaceful? ”

King An should be asking about Fenglindu, probably Zhang Ziqian. But even if he didn't say it, the two guards who followed him should have reported to King An.

"Well, I delayed a little at Fenglindu, but fortunately there was no danger."

King An nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Father, I heard...... Is my brother going to get married? Is it true? Which girl is it? ”

Among the children of the clan, there are not many people who have not married a wife at Zhao Lu's age. He is the son of King An, the future king of the county, and he is handsome and capable. If you let out the wind and want to marry him, I am afraid that the threshold of King An's Mansion will be broken.

"Who did you listen to?"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Dong's eyes widened: "Mother Hu heard someone say this, is it a rumor?" ”

King An smiled, and actually sold Guanzi: "This is your brother's business, you wait for him to come back and ask himself." ”

"Father?"

An Wang looked at him left and right: "It's not early, let them set the meal." ”

This man

Xiao Dong stared for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"Father, I want to come back for the winter."

Wang An was stunned, looking at her expression as if she was laughing casually, tilting her head and looking playful, and said casually: "Okay." ”

Dinner was placed in the pavilion next to the osmanthus forest, and the osmanthus flowers were about to bloom, and they fell all over the ground with broken golden flowers. Even the water surface of the pond is full of clusters of fallen flowers, entangled with the withered lotus leaf duckweed, and the mouth and nose are full of elegant osmanthus fragrance. What I drank at the banquet was Suizhou's sour liquor, which was said to be sour, but it was not sour, with a faint sweetness. Even Xiaodong drank a few glasses. King An was in a better mood than usual today, and he also drank several large cups.

Xiao Dong felt that his face was slightly hot, the cool breeze blew on his face, the palace lamp above his head shook slightly, and the gauze painting on the lamp was reflected on the pillars and on the bricks underground. The lights in the pavilion attracted autumn insects, which hovered around the lamps.

Qin Liezheng asked, "By the way, Shen Jing didn't come today?" I hadn't seen him in days. ”

"He's not in the capital at this time, he's going to the south to survey the river embankment."

Xiao Dong held his cheeks and looked at the few people in front of him.

It's a pity that Zhao Lu is not there, and people are always incomplete.

When she left, King An instructed her: "Go to the palace tomorrow to greet the Queen Mother, and let her rest assured." ”

"Yes, I'll go to the palace early tomorrow morning."

The sour wine is soft in the mouth, but it has a lot of stamina, and Xiaodong is sleepy when he gets in the car. Leaning on Qin Lie's shoulder, he listened to the crisp and regular sound of the horse's hooves, and the wheels creaked and turned, somewhat like the sound of a woman spinning.
