Chapter 251: The Secret in the Box
Smiling slightly, I went to open the food box. There are two compartments inside, and there are three shreds of tender scrambled eggs and green vegetables, which is really good to look at.
There is a shortage of oil and grain in the frontier, and it is the season when there is no green and yellow, and it is already good to have green vegetables, but it is ......
I moved the small table next to the couch, put the side dishes on it, and picked up the glass and sipped the wine carelessly.
Rong Ziyang poured two sips of wine to himself, unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks, put a green vegetable in his mouth, chewed it a few times, he frowned and said, "Why does it smell strange." ”
"Oh? No, you're tasting ......."
Rong Ziyang took a large pair of chopsticks, chewed them carefully a few times, and suddenly spit them out with a bitter face, "Phew, what is this, why is it bitter and spicy, and it ...... to the eyes."
"Poof......" I couldn't hold back and laughed directly.
This Qi Lan has a sassy temperament, and she is good at dancing knives and swords, but she is really not this material for cooking.
Last time, I took the shuttle root used to wash the pot as a root potato, after so long, her careless problem has not changed at all, I saw it when I took the dish just now, the plate was cut into wide strips, and it was clearly a piece of shuttle root.
That thing is not only bitter, but also has a very astringent taste to the nose, he eats so much at once, it's strange that he doesn't rush his eyes.
"You're fooling me!" Eiko was furious, her face was red and her eyes were red, and she looked very funny, and I wanted to hold back my laughter, but I couldn't help it.
"You're still laughing." He glared at me.
"Alright, stop making a fuss, drink some water." Ji Yun often handed over a cup.
Eiko snorted angrily, didn't take the cup, but poured a sip of wine.
Ji Yunchang seemed to smile, put the cup down, and pulled out an oiled paper packet out of nowhere.
Slowly unfolded, and shook out the small dagger in his sleeve, cut the cooked meat into slices elegantly, and put it in the center of the small table and said, "In the early days, there was a hare that was beaten by soldiers, and a piece was sent over after it was roasted, which was just a dish." ”
I reached out and grabbed a slice, chewed it twice, and felt very tasteless, somehow, it was nostalgic for the leg of lamb that Wufuzi roasted on his tenth birthday.
That tastes so good......
However, I think I will never be able to eat it again. Three months before I left the Blue Pavilion, he suddenly resigned for some reason, and it happened suddenly, and everyone didn't even say goodbye.
Ji Yunchang seemed to know what I was thinking, and put the cup close to his lips, "You are in Shengjing, but there is news of Wufuzi?" ”
I shook my head and said, "I also checked it on purpose, but there is no news." ”
Rong Ziyang snorted, "Although the little old man looks kind, his temper is also a little stubborn, and he has his own reason to say goodbye without saying goodbye.
Perhaps, he will go back to the grassland and be the grassland cook he has always wanted to do, eating roast sheep and listening to the horse head piano every day, which is much more interesting than teaching children every day. ”
What he said was that Wu Fuzi was a free and easy person, he practiced martial arts with him as a child, and I heard a lot of interesting things from him, if he could do something he liked after leaving, it would be really good.
I smiled slightly, put half of the meat in my hand into my mouth, chewed it a few times, and remembered something again, "Hey, Rong Ziyang, do you remember Lu Fuzi?" Before leaving Shengjing, I went to see him in the Lu Mansion, and he asked me to bring it back to you, saying that you still owe him a porcelain vase, and asked when you would send it. ”
Rong Ziyang snorted again, took a sip of wine and said, "Didn't you break a broken bottle of him when you were a child, how many years have you been here, and you still remember it." , I won't compensate for it, so I let him think about it every day and feel sorry for him. ”
I smiled, this Rong Zi Yang is always duplicitous, Wu Fuzi is gone, and he is the most uncomfortable. At this time, he said that he would not pay for the bottle, maybe he would send a letter to the old prince Rong, and lose something better.
It's like the nineteenth princess. When chasing after him, he has always been dragged, but there is really no more, and he is the one who is in pain.
The night breeze was blowing, and the walls of the tent were swaying in the wind.
The three of us chatted without a word, not mentioning military affairs, not asking about heartache, just reminiscing.
There is old wine, there are old friends, and after many years, you can still drink and catch up with the old, which feels really good.
The warm time flowed at my fingertips, and in an instant, it seemed like I had returned to yesterday......
We chatted slowly until we had drunk a pot of wine, and we got up to take our leave.
I put on cotton brocade to send the two of them out of the tent, watching the two slowly walk away, a green and red cloaks in the wind, yesterday's boy, after all, grew into a battlefield general.
The night was deep, and the tiredness of the car and horses for days made my body tired, but there was no sleepiness, I looked up at the heavenly garden moon, thought about it, and finally wrapped the canopy tightly, and slowly walked in the direction of the big tent.
It had been a few hours, the oil lamp in the big tent was still on, I used my strength to penetrate the tent to see, Su Huo was studying something with a few veterans, and when he was tired, he picked up the cup next to him, took a sip and continued his research......
I sighed and turned to walk back.
The sky and the moon are bright, stretching my shadow very long, I walked slowly, unconsciously, there was one more person behind me, I stopped and turned my head to see, it was Ji Yunchang.
"You didn't go back to rest." I asked.
"Aren't you the same?"
I pursed my lips and he paced two steps forward, standing side by side with me.
The shadow of the moon was shining, the nightingale was crying softly in the distance, and the wind was tickling the broken hair on my sideburns.
"Why didn't he come with you?"
Half a ring, he said.
I turned my head to see that he was half-raising his head, and the moonlight reflected on the corners of his slightly thin and flat eyebrows, with a hint of inexplicable gloom.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, he turned his head and asked in a shallow voice, "Target County is here, the road is far away, didn't he come with you?" ”
It turned out that he knew it all......
Yes, although the frontier is far away from Shengjing, the last time I went back, King Chen's guards went out of the city to greet him, and everyone knew about it.
This time I went to Target County, and the movement was not small, and I used King Chen's guards, and after thinking about it a little, I know who the bearded person was before.
No wonder after he returned to Shengjing, he didn't mention the matter of the jade pot and red beans, it turned out that he had already thought about it in his heart.
I didn't dare to look at Ji Yunchang's eyes anymore, so I didn't look at him and said, "Here, there are some things entrusted to him to do, and he will arrive tomorrow morning." ”
"That's good." Ji Yunchang nodded.
I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I walked slowly. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped me.
"Pouring ......"
"Hmm." I paused.
He was silent for a while, and said in a shallow voice, "Dumping Mu, you and I grew up together, and there are some words that I have always hidden in my heart, thinking that the future will be long, and it will not be too late to tell you in the future." But waiting, waiting, it seems that there is no chance. ”
I felt a little unbearable in my heart, so I turned around and said, "Yun Chang, I ......"
"You don't have to say it......" he interrupted me, smiling slightly, "you don't have to say anything, and you don't have to explain much to me. I understand ......."
He paced two steps, looked up at the full moon in the sky again, and said slowly, "When I was a child, the first time I saw you, you were very thin, and a fat shirt was worn on your body, like a flag waving in the wind. A pair of eyes are big, like koi fish in the pond in the backyard of Qinglan Pavilion. ”
I chuckled, "At that moment, I was very thin." ”
He also seemed to laugh, and said, "At that time, many girls were willing to come over and say a few more words when they saw me, but I thought they were irritable, and most of them ignored me."
You sat across from you that day, but you didn't talk to me, and then you wanted to learn a crossbow, and I found a wound on your arm, and I thought, this girl, is being bullied? I didn't think too much about it, so I gave you the exquisite little crossbow that had been made for a long time. ”
He was silent for a while, and then said, "I thought that after that time, we would never see each other again." Unexpectedly, I saw it again in the Blue Pavilion. I don't know why, when I see you frowning, I feel bad, and I feel happy when I see you smiling.
For so many years, every year on your birthday, I wanted to give you the gift in the mezzanine, and I thought it was inappropriate, so I sealed the thing with a trap and gave it to you along with the inconspicuous thing.
The mechanism of those boxes is very simple, I send things every year, I am nervous and expectant, afraid that you will find the secret in the box, and expect you to open the box inadvertently, so that you will find out my heart for you. ”
Thinking of the gift in the box, my heart was a little sour, and I wanted to speak, but I didn't know what to say.
Ji Yunchang smiled slightly, "You like snow, and I like it too." Every time I walk with you in the snow, my heart is happy, watching the snowflakes fall on your shoulders and fall on your sideburns, I want to walk with you all the time, walking and walking, and we will be white together. ”
He paused, raised his head higher, and his voice was a little deep, "I still thought that I could stay by your side and stay with you all the time, but now it seems that there is no need for it." ”
My heart fluttered, and I hung my head slightly.
"From Maicheng to Jige Mountain, I can see it clearly all the way. He's good, he's good-natured, and he's good to you. When you talk to him, you get angry and angry, and you have a lot of fireworks, all of which you don't see when you look at me.
A Middle-Continent man has a wife for life, and with him, you will be happy. As long as you are happy, my heart will be happy. ”
"Yun Chang, I'm sorry......" After thinking about it, I only said sorry after all.
He shook his head, "You don't have to say sorry to me, it's not to make you worry too much.
It's been a long time since we've spoken like this, and I just want to tell you that although I can't be by your side anymore, I'm willing to be your friend like Ziyang.
You don't have a brother in the family, I will grow you for a few months, if you want, you can also treat me as a brother, if he gets married one day, if he is not happy in his heart, don't forget that there is me, when and where, a letter to the family, my brother will make the decision for you. But okay? ”
Brother......
Four years together, like a great affection, now, he can also be a friend and brother.
My heart was touched, tears turned to my eyes, and I quickly turned my head to wipe them away.
Ji Yunchang smiled slightly, "It's late at night, I'll send you back." You've been on the road for a long day, and I'm a little tired. ”
I answered, and walked with him in the direction of the tent, and soon arrived at the place.
"I've arrived."
"Well, then I'm leaving." He nodded, smiling.
The moonlight was like silver, and he turned to leave, his cyan cloak puffed up by the wind, and Jian Jia sprinkled a layer of moonlight.
I was in a trance, as if I saw the young man who brought me food late at night many years ago when I was punished.
The years are affectionate, but they are also ruthless, I don't seem to owe him anything, and I seem to owe him a lot.
With a soft sigh, I turned and entered the tent, where the candle ......flame was extinguished, and the dark shadow flashed beside me, and I was wrapped in a warm embrace.
There is a faint smell of violet flowers wafting, and you don't have to look back to know who it is.
"It's not warm yet, why don't you add an extra piece of clothing when you go out." He grabbed my cool hand and warmed it in his palm.
I leaned back a bit, "I've been wearing a lot, just standing outside for a little longer." ”
He didn't say much, and I asked, "Aren't you coming back tomorrow?" ”
He snorted, "I missed you, and just after the matter was done, I came back early." ”
I chuckled, and he picked me up, put me on the couch in two steps, and pulled the quilt over me.
"Go to sleep."
I closed my eyes in response, and when I heard a half-sound, he sighed softly, "Little girl, in fact, that Ji Yunchang is also very good." ”
I opened my eyes, my heart skipped a beat, and I leaned a little closer to his chest.
