seventy-seven
When I went out and walked on the street, I saw that there were rock sugar gourds for sale, so I bought two strings of them, Xiaolan and I had a string, I went up and took a bite and got my teeth, I didn't go to the pit, and it was too unsophisticated, but it was delicious, sweet and sour, the sugar was very crisp and not sticky to my teeth, when I walked to the river, Xuan Ye had chased after me, Xiaolan retreated to the back with interest, Xuan Ye said: "Is the sugar gourd delicious?" I handed the sugar gourd in my hand to him and said: "Give you a taste", he didn't take it, he bit a hawthorn with my hand, and said seriously after eating and spitting out the core: "It's delicious, I don't know what you made", I said in my heart, even if you can speak, I don't care about what happened just now, I said: "Is your business done?" When are we going back? He said: "It's done, but I don't want to go back now, what?" Do you want to go back? I thought to myself, I would like not to return to the palace for the rest of my life, but my mouth said: "I just ask casually, ask casually."
After turning around the river, he said, "Let's go back to the inn!" Rest early tonight, and you'll go with me to a place early tomorrow morning," I wondered, "Well, where are we going tomorrow?" He said mysteriously: "When you get to the place tomorrow, you will naturally know", not to mention, okay! Anyway, I'll know tomorrow, and I resisted my curiosity and didn't ask anymore.
After returning to the inn to wash up, I lay down on the bed, probably the original solid who slept during the day, I didn't feel a little sleepy, Xuan Ye was still reading, he had the habit of reading before going to bed, I got up from the bed again, he closed the book and said, "Why are you up again?" I got out of bed and poured a glass of water and said: "I probably slept too much during the day, but now I can't sleep again", he put down the book and smiled: "Then I'll talk to you for a while!" I drank the water and went to bed again, and sat against the wall, and he sat on the bed, and I said, "Have you often secretly come out for private visits like this before?" He said: "Well, I have come out, most of them are walking around the capital, and there are not a few times when I have come out so far", I said: "If you have time in the future, you should really come out to take a good look, our Qing Dynasty is vast, and there are countless beautiful scenery everywhere, it would be a pity not to see it", he smiled: "Definitely, I must personally see the beautiful scenery you yearn for when I have time in the future, I have heard you say where you want to go, how do you know so many places?" I said, "I read it from the poetry book!" Didn't literati and writers make poems when they saw beautiful scenery? Seeing that the poet said it was so good, I wanted to see those beautiful scenery for myself, and see the beautiful scenery that made the poets chant and praise."
I also said: "In addition to seeing the scenery but also to understand the customs and customs of various places, eat all over the flavor snacks, as the saying goes: "Ten miles of different sounds, a hundred miles of different customs", we have a lot of land and many nationalities, but there are really too many things to understand and learn", he said: "Yes! Only by truly understanding the needs of the people and the aspirations of the people can we conform to the will of the people, win the hearts of the people, and settle the world", we talked about a lot of beautiful scenery and food in various places, customs and habits, until the third watch did not lie down to rest.
The second morning was called by him early in the morning, outside just dawn, he called me: "Qing'er, hurry up, we are going to leave early, otherwise I am afraid that we will not be able to catch up before dark", I "um" and quickly got up, Xuan Ye He had already freshened up and dressed up, Xiaolan was already waiting outside the door, I called her in to help me comb my hair, after I cleaned up, the guy had already sent breakfast, after eating, Xuan Ye instructed Mingzhu and Dongting: "Let's go!" Let's go", Mingzhu will pay the store money and then put the reward money, the guy has already put the carriage in place and led it out, Li Xu and Xiaolan also got into the carriage and sat down, it was still Mingzhu driving, Xuanye and they rode horses, I saw that there were tents and other things on the carriage, I couldn't help but wonder, how could there be these things? When did they prepare? Are we going to spend the night out tonight?
I sat in the carriage and didn't know the direction, I didn't know where to go, I galloped all the way out of the city, I was dizzy along the way, Xuan Ye stopped to rest several times in order to take care of me, I leaned on a quilt and leaned on the carriage a little dizzy, I didn't even know when the carriage stopped, until Xiaolan called me: "Miss, let's get here, get off!" I got up and came to the outside of the car and was about to get out of the car, but I was hugged by Xuan Ye who came over, he put me on the ground, I found that we were in the endless prairie, the sunset had already set in the west, only some red light remained, shining on this autumn grassland, so quiet, so beautiful, is this where he wants to take me? The prairie I yearn for.
He said to me gently, "How about we finish a place we want to go to today?" Is this the place you want to be? I said, "Well, it's so beautiful here", he smiled: "I thought you would like it, so I brought you here", I saw Mingzhu and Li Xu setting up a tent and asked, "Are we going to sleep here tonight?" He said: "Well, the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and I am afraid that we may not be able to find a place to live until late at night, so we will just spend the night!" I laughed and said, "What's this, I haven't slept in a tent like this before!" I've wanted to try it for a long time, so we can go to see the sunrise tomorrow morning, so why not! ”。
Thinking that he had crossed into the Qing Dynasty from this grassland, his heart was mixed, although this grassland was not the other grassland, we are now behind the mountains, in front of the prairie, not far away is a river, looking into the distance can see the dotted bonfires, probably living on the grassland herdsmen, Xuan Ye said: "After taking this day's carriage, is it better now?" You rest here for a while, and Dongting and I will go hunt some prey and come back for dinner", I said, "I'm fine, you go!" After sitting in the carriage for this day, although he is standing on the ground now, he still feels like he is jolting on a horse, Da Chun went to collect firewood, Lord Mingzhu and Li Xu were still setting up a tent, Xiaolan took a cloak and put it on me and said: "Miss, go over there and sit!" I followed Xiaolan to the tent, Xiaolan took a blanket and spread it on the ground and said, "Miss, sit down for a while!" The slave maid went to the arsenic fire to make tea", Da Chun had already picked up a lot of firewood and came back, he helped Xiaolan to pick up the hanging pot and then went to fetch water, Xiaolan lit a small bonfire, I got up and said: "Xiaolan, I'll help you!" ”。
