Rui Xue opened the box, found the long gown that had been prepared, and took care of it with her own hands.

The royal blue brocade is cut and fitted, the cuffs and collar are inlaid with two finger-wide white edges, embroidered with a light and faint cloud pattern, the belt is a silver embroidered light blue entwined branch lotus, and a piece of chicken heart hollow jade pendant fell on the waist, and a blue embroidered lantern grass crane purse.

The dark red mahogany comb was placed in the slender jade hand, and the long jet-black hair was combed at once, neatly gathered on the top of the head, and tied with a silver hollow hair crown, which echoed in black and white, and looked extremely brilliant.

Rui Xue looked left and right at the man who was becoming more and more handsome, and couldn't help but quip, "I regret dressing you so well, what if you are caught by another woman?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Fengnian to answer, he flipped over a set of ordinary green cloth dresses, turned behind the screen, Zhao Fengnian frowned, and asked, "Why don't you change the satin?" ”

A sentence came from behind the screen, "I'm going to cook, isn't it a waste of things to wear brocade." ”

A flash of shame flashed in Zhao Fengnian's eyes, and he threw down a sentence for a while, "They are not as good as you." Then he opened the door and went out first.

Rui Xue didn't react until she finished changing her dress, he was answering the previous sentence, and her red lips couldn't help but bloom the most beautiful flowers, lining her in an ordinary dress, adding three points of delicateness. This person, looking silent and cold, and talking sweetly, is really numb.

The group gathered in front of the gate, said goodbye to the black charcoal, drove two carriages, blowing the spring breeze all the way, looking at the spring scene, laughing and laughing, and soon arrived in front of the dock shop.

A few days ago, the mountain sprinkled the medicinal powder, dug the earthen stove, and built a wooden shed in the forest.

Zhao Fengnian took the men and children to carry all the kang tables in the shop to the mountain to set them up, and Rui Xue took the women to prepare the dishes. Sister-in-law Zhang is responsible for giving Rui Xue a hand, Cui Niang and Cui Lan are busy making buns, a lot of buns, because the utensils in the shop are picked up on the mountain, at noon the dock everyone naturally has no food to eat, Rui Xue thought that each person will share four buns for them to pad their stomachs, and when the time comes, it is difficult for the people to come out to see the excitement and spring outing, and they will definitely give up a few pennies to buy some food for the children, this bun may be a big seller, so they have to prepare it in advance.

Rui Xue tied an apron, carefully washed the wild vegetables, prepared the shepherd's cabbage and steamed siu mai with meat filling, blanched the pig's ear vegetables in cold water, took off the water, mixed tofu, and soaked the remaining fungus and white fungus, and the noodles were well woken up, everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

Cuilan wrapped the buns in her hands, occasionally glanced over, her face was full of envy, and whispered, "If only I had the skills of the proprietress." ”

Cui Niang didn't wait to answer, but Rui Xue heard it on the tip of her ear, and said with a smile, "If you want to learn, I will teach you in the future, don't dare to say anything else, it's enough to open a small restaurant in the city." ”

Cuilan thought that Rui Xue was annoyed, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said hurriedly, "Boss, I'm just saying, I don't dare..."

Rui Xue saw her frightened appearance, and some regretted answering, after all, she had only been working in the shop for a short time, and it was not surprising that she didn't know her temperament, and in desperation, she didn't have much to explain, so she had to say, "I'm often absent, if you want, you can ask Sister-in-law Zhang to teach you." ”

Cuilan's eyes lit up immediately, and she thought in her heart that the dishes that Sister-in-law Zhang would know must be approved by the proprietress, so she hurriedly agreed, "Thank you boss, I must study hard." ”

Rui Xue nodded and continued to be busy, Cui Niang persuaded Cui Lan in a low voice, "You are too careful, our boss lady never hides her selfishness, she said that she wants to teach you, she must be sincere, let you be so scared, it will change the taste." ”

Cuilan smiled timidly, her face was slightly red, she no longer spoke, and only buried herself in her work.

After more than half an hour like this, Wu Yu, Da Zhuang, and Heizi ran in from outside, their faces flushed with excitement, and they shouted one after another, "Shi Niang, Shi Niang, there are many people outside, there are hundreds, no, thousands!" ”

Rui Xue was just finished with the work in hand, so she picked the curtain and went out to visit.

In the distance, on the gravel road leading to the dock in Spirit Wind City, there were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages walking sporadically, ranging from luxurious to simple. Nearby, there is a group of scholars wearing robes and cloth scarves, some walking aside, some carrying food boxes and carrying bags, faintly revealing a corner of linoleum inside. Outside the wharf, on several small roads connecting the villages, smiling farmers, pulling their children, leading their daughters-in-law and children are also striding over...

Such a scene made Ruixue suddenly think of the appearance of the market in the township, or the scene of the open-air movie in the village when she was a child, which was really lively.

Gao Fuquan drove the carriage back at a trot, jumped off the wheel, wiped the sweat beads on his head, and said, "Boss, I ran several shops, and only found half a catty of dried shrimp, no fresh prawns, pork and bones, but bought very fresh." ”

Rui Xue came back to her senses, nodded, and said with a smile, "It's hard work, big brother, if you don't find it, use it." But how many catties of pork can you buy? After speaking, he pointed to the lively dock and said, "Just look at so many people, you have to add a few more drawers to the buns." ”

Gao Fuquan laughed, "I heard everyone talking about poetry in the city, and said that it was rare to see a scholar making poems, and they all had to go out for a spring outing. ”

Rui Xue praised, "Brother Gao is really thoughtful, so many people, in addition to eating, but also drinking tea, let's boil more tea to dry, whoever is thirsty will send a bowl, and also make a good fate." ”

Gao Fuquan was so praised that he scratched his head and moved things into the shop.

Ruixue looked at the crowd of people everywhere again, and was full of confidence in the promotion plan of today's tofu.

The two newly built earthen stoves next to the shop are on fire, one throws seven or eight big bones and spices, and stews up, and the other is full of water, and each time it boils for half a moment, it is scooped out and poured into the wooden barrel next to it, and a handful of coarse tea is put in the barrel, which is soaked in boiling water, stretches out the curly body, and releases a faint fragrance.

Da Zhuang, Heizi and Wu Yu took over the errand of lighting the fire, and they were very busy, running into the house from time to time to ask a few questions, as if what they were doing was as important as ever, which made Sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang laugh.

In the middle of the day, Zhang Dahe came down from the mountain with bolts and stones, and took away the tea sets, teapots, and a few snacks prepared yesterday.

The poetry meeting was scheduled to open at the beginning of noon, and the literati were extremely polite and arrived half an hour in advance, Zhao Feng went in and out of various poetry clubs and Fengyue places a few days ago, but he was familiar with them, and successively welcomed them to sit down on the table in the shade of the tree, and the bolt immediately stepped forward to pour tea, and the snacks were also placed early.

The literati are good-looking, originally thought that they were in the wild, enjoying the wild fun, but they would not have too thoughtful care, they never thought of this, there are good scenery to watch, there are good tea and snacks to eat, and the most important thing is that there are many people around far and near, looking at them with envy, and from time to time someone admonishes his son The words came into his ears, "Son, look at those talented old men, how talented and learned, you must study hard, and you will also take a fame in the future, and glorify your ancestors." ”

Everything that they saw and heard made all the scholars and talents hold their chests high, and although they tried their best to make a modest appearance, the pride in the corners of their eyes and eyebrows betrayed their sincerity.

Zhao Fengnian was bored in his heart, although he was free and loved to read, but the most annoying thing was the high and hypocritical face of the reader, originally when he was in Tongcheng, he except for a few friends with similar temperaments occasionally got together, drank wine, and made two poems to relieve boredom, never went to the so-called poetry club, but I didn't expect the world to be unpredictable, he actually had the time to hold a poetry meeting.

The last group of scholars on the mountain are a few famous merry people, and sure enough, they all brought a delicately dressed woman beside them, although the spring is getting warmer, but the women put on the summer gauze skirt early, and it is obvious that it is not a good place to come out. The faces of the people around are different, whispering, the people don't understand the talent and romance, and the mouth is low and moral, but the eyes are always inseparable from that place.

At this time, a Nanmu carriage was parked far away outside the wharf, and two men with outstanding looks and temperament in white and red were sitting opposite each other and talking in a low voice, it was Chu Gehuan and Bai Zhanpeng.

Chu Gehuan lifted the curtains with a fan, looked at the hillside in the distance, and said with a smile, "Today is really lively, less than half of the people in Lingfeng City have come, and they are almost three, Brother Bai, why don't you go up with me to join in the fun?" ”

Bai Zhanpeng shook his head, "You can go up by yourself, I can see it if I go around the back." ”

Chu Gehuan raised his eyebrows, and he was not reluctant, "The left and right are your friends, and if I can't see you, I won't intervene much." When the poetry meeting is gone, let's meet here. ”

"Okay." Bai Zhanpeng responded, opened the car door and jumped down, turning three times and disappearing into the woods beside the road.

The carriage then moved forward, passing by the door of the shop, and the fragrance wafting into the carriage with the wind made Chu Gehuan's nose flutter twice, and he couldn't help but smile, "I won't go in vain today, at least this food should be good." ”

Soon the carriage reached the bottom of the hill, and he waved off the coachman and went up the hill with his fan.

The second young man of the Chu family is in Lingfeng City, whether it is disobedient or unruly, he is famous, and there are naturally many people who know him.

Soon, someone recognized him and exclaimed in a low voice, "Why is Chu Ershao here?" ”

"yes, didn't he never participate in such poetry meetings?"

"Last time, I also threatened that poetry was a small way, and Zhang Xundao was so angry that he scolded him, and he couldn't be taught."

Zhao Fengnian was gossiping with a few scholars, and suddenly heard the noise in the field, and turned around to look at it in confusion, and saw a young man, dressed luxuriously, with a little less manly heroism, partial to glamorous and evil, shaking a gold fan in his hand, Shi Shiran walked into the venue under the attention of everyone, as if this poem would be held in his family yard, very leisurely.

A showman next to Zhao Fengnian saw that there was doubt on his face, so he took the initiative to say, "This is the second son of the Chu family in the city, who is uninhibited by nature, and he doesn't like to read and do poetry the most, I don't know how he got here today?" ”

Zhao Fengnian thanked him and walked forward slowly, the person who came was a guest, as long as this person had no malice and had a good time, he would naturally welcome it.
