Chapter 14: Barbecue

Zhao Lu came back much later than usual, but he was in high spirits, and he ran over without having time to change his clothes.

"Sister, sister!"

Xiao Dong was watching Shen Qiang and Shen Fang do needlework, Shen Fang was fine, but Shen Qiang was not patient enough, a row of stitches was so sloppy that it looked like the marks of insects crawling - the insects still had many legs. Xiao Dong is confident that if he gives himself a needle, he will sew it neater than her.

"Brother?"

Xiao Dong got up and ran towards Zhao Lu, and was hugged by Zhao Lu with his open hand.

Xiao Dongle was turned around, only to see Shen Jing behind him, and shouted, "Brother Jing." ”

shouted like this, others didn't feel it, Xiao Dong himself trembled first.

Brother Jing? Brother Jing?

This is not a martial arts world, where did Guo Jing and Huang Rong come from.

"You and your father entered the palace today?"

Xiao Dong nodded.

"Have you seen the emperor?"

Shen Qiang took advantage of the chaos to stuff the embroidery cloth and embroidery thread in her hand under the table, and heard Xiao Dong say, "See." ”

Shen Fang put down the work in his hand, stood up with Shen Qiang, and blessed Zhao Lu and Shen Jingying.

"It's all my own people, and I'm so tired every day." Zhao Lu put down Xiaodong and returned the salute, and said, "Cousin, don't be too polite." Shen Qiang asked, "Why did you come back today later than usual?" ”

Zhao Lumei's eyebrows danced: "Today I was competing with them for poetry, and my cousin won the poetry championship!" ”

Shen Fang was interested, and asked with a smile, "Oh? Race against whom? How did you win the championship? ”

Zhao Lulian said that he smiled and told the story roughly.

It turns out that Shen Jing is known as the first genius in Hedong, and after studying in the palace for so many days, there is a faint tendency to pull out the limelight of the first genius in the capital.

Zhao Lu spoke happily, and Shen Fang said: "I don't know what the winning poem is? Read it out to us too, and get into the talent of Wenqu Xing. ”

Shen Jingjun's face flushed slightly, and he whispered, "My family still makes fun of me." ”

Zhao Lu pushed him: "What's the teasing?" It is with honor. While shouting, "Bring a pen and paper." ”

Shen Qiang hurriedly pushed away the needlework basket embroidery on the case and made room for it. The pen and ink were ready, the paper was also spread out, and Zhao Lu said with a smile: "I remember clearly, I will write." ”

Although he laughs and loves to play all day long, he writes a lot of skeleton rules in one stroke, and he has obviously practiced hard. Xiao Dong read the first sentence - but she didn't recognize the first three words.

Shen Qiang held her cheeks and watched, turned her head and asked, "Won the championship, do you have a lottery?" ”

Zhao Lu wrote contemplatively, but did not answer, but Zhao Lu's scholar Xiao Tang replied: "There is a color head, the poem is in the East Garden, just opened, several princesses with their attendants have come, and watched the excitement for a long time on the side, and the five princesses also took out a hand-embroidered brocade ribbon as a color head." ”

Shen Fang was stunned: "The princess embroidered it herself?" ”

"Exactly." Zhao Lu replied: "This can make those provocative guys angry." ”

Shen Qiang asked excitedly, "Hey, does the princess have a crush on her brother?" ”

Shen Jing shook her head: "Sister Qiang, don't talk nonsense." ”

"What nonsense." Shen Qiang's face was red, and her eyes were shining: "A talented man is a beautiful woman." I heard that the fifth princess was born very beautiful, and she was the best in Beijing. My brother is second to none talent, this is not ......"

Shen Fang also turned his head: "Don't talk nonsense." It's about the princess's reputation, you think it's a joke. ”

Shen Fang opened her mouth, and Shen Qiang was honest, but she was still unwilling, and muttered: "I must not only think so, others will say the same soon." ”

Xiao Dong looked at this, and then at that.

Well, this is a good story to talk about.

That is, are the heroes and heroines of the good story a little younger?

The age of the fifth princess and Shen Jing, if you want to put it in modern times, they are just junior high school students!

Calf love!

Xiao Dong was a little stupid, he was obviously in the palace today, but he couldn't see the excitement.

Zhao Lu had already written the words, blew them dry, and hung them up.

Shen Fang praised: "The more you write, the better." ”

Zhao Lu has this self-knowledge: "If you don't succeed, you can't do it, read the poem, don't look at the words." ”

Everyone in the house was happy, and Zhao Lu shouted: "Add vegetables and vegetables, let's drink in the evening." ”

Hu Shi said on the side: "Adding vegetables is naturally wanted, but wine is not possible." ”

Zhao Lu said: "It's okay, just drink a little." Well, I will go and tell my father, and he will give it. ”

King An is not an old-fashioned person, Zhao Lu went to say, he really agreed, and also sent a piece of inkstone, a box of six pieces of gold scale ink to Shen Jing, congratulating him on winning the poem. Zhao Lu held the box and praised: "This inkstone is okay, the ink has a history of more than 100 years, the production method has long been lost, it is said that there is not much in the palace, with a piece less than a piece, usually my father himself is reluctant to use it." ”

Shen Jing was a little uneasy: "The prince's gift is too generous. ”

"Tsk, the sword is given to the hero. This is just right for you. This ink is a good color, I wish you the title of the gold list in the future. Zhao Lu is not stingy, he was happy for Shen Jing for a while, and then handed over someone to put it away for him.

In the evening, a banquet was set up in the pavilion in Zhao Lu's backyard, King An did not come, saying that he was afraid of their restraint, only Shen Jing Zhao Lu Shen family sisters and Xiaodong, five tables were set in a circle, in the circle was a charcoal stove, the stove was set with an iron grate, and the thinly sliced meat was brushed with various spices and greases, sizzling on the fire, and the aroma was rich and tangy.

Xiaodong was wrapped like a cotton ball, because of the barbecue, the windows on all sides of the pavilion were open with smoke, Hu was afraid that she would catch a cold, and he wanted to tie her from head to toe with a quilt to rest assured.

The wine is poured into the glass, and it is as clear as a spring. Xiao Dong smelled a faint aroma of wine, and there was a cold floral fragrance in the aroma of wine.

"Is it chrysanthemum wine?"

"Well, it was brewed three years ago, maple dew white. Today is the first time that the altar has been opened. Zhao Lu looked like a little drunkard, and took it up and smelled the wine deeply: "Tomorrow I will rest in school, and I am not afraid to drink more tonight." ”

Shen Fang has wine, even Shen Qiang has it, but Xiao Dong has hot sherbet in front of him.

When the barbecue was ready, it was removed from the fire, Xiaodong signaled to eat, Hongya was afraid that she would be hot, so she took a small silver knife and cut a little bit on the meat slice, and blew and blew before sending it into her mouth.

A hot and spicy fragrance spread in his mouth, Xiao Dong didn't watch out, and suddenly held back tears.

"Oops, there's spicy powder on top of that." Zhao Lu hurriedly said: "Hurry up, drink water." ”

Xiaodong drank several mouthfuls of sherbet, but he didn't cover the spicy taste in his mouth, he only felt like a fire, the tip of his tongue hurt, his eyes and nose were red, like a little rabbit. Zhao Lu was distressed and funny, and said to Hong Aya with a straight face: "You are also careless." ”

Xiao Dong knows that he doesn't blame Red Aya, he usually doesn't have this taste in his meals, and the barbecue slices are red and bright, and he can't see the spicy seasoning sprinkled on it.

Shen Qiang shaved her face and shamed her: "Little gluttonous cat, it's spicy, right?" You better eat the fruit, and the roast will be mine." ”

Shen Jing smiled and said, "Roast something that is not spicy, smear some honey, she should be able to eat it." But this thing is not easy to restrain and sister, Xiaodong sister is still young, just taste it. ”

Xiao Dong covered his mouth and looked at these bad guys with tears in his eyes.

That's a lot of age!

Bully!
