Chapter 73: Qing Huan

The sky is shining, and the snow is white.

A scream came from a bamboo hut on the shore of Jingyue Lake, startling the red foxes who had just come out to move around.

"You, you, how are you sleeping in my bed?" When Li Yan woke up, she found herself confined in a warm embrace, she hadn't yet reacted to what had happened yesterday, and she couldn't break free if she wanted to.

Xiao Chonghua, who is used to sleeping by himself on weekdays, is also hazy for a moment, but he has always been sensible, and he only sorted out the events of last night in an instant, let go of the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, got up slowly, put back the clothes hanging on the screen one by one, and when he tied his belt, he weighed the girl on the bed and estimated that she was awake, and then slowly said, "Awake?"

Li Yanfurong's face was flushed, obviously she had come to her senses, her face was very uncomfortable, and she said, "I was kind enough to take you in, but you took advantage of me, so unreasonable." ”

Xiao Chonghua was happy today, and after fastening his belt, he sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over, and was so frightened that the girl in the bed retreated again and again, and then laughed and said: "Color-eating, you are so beautiful and delicious, no wonder I am born." ”

"Xiao Heng Xiao Chonghua, don't go too far. Li Yan also found that her clothes were all on her body, it was last night, but she saw him smiling and teasing, telling what happened last night as if what happened. She lifted the quilt suddenly, stepped out of it, stood in front of the screen and said: "God knows that you know and I know, anyway, others don't know, if you really want to repay the grace of saving your life, you will firmly remember that you didn't come here last night." ”

"If it gets out, how will I marry in the future? She muttered in a low voice, even if the people of Daqin are fierce now, and women are not particularly restrained, but chastity is still very important to the girl's family, although Li Yan is not at ease, but there are still parents and brothers in the family. If a few people in Fengjing knew about this, they were afraid that King Zhao would only be able to marry her, but she didn't want to see him marry her reluctantly.

"Do you still want to get married?" Xiao Chonghua smiled, walked into Li Yan's side, and bowed his head and said, "I haven't heard you say what kind of young man you want to marry?"

"It's not you anyway, you're too old. My husband does not need to be a prince and general, but he must be a husband who stands up to the sky and the earth, worthy of being a man for a lifetime, he must be responsible, responsible, and able to withstand the storm. The glory of the family is too heavy, she is already a princess and doesn't need to be the icing on the cake, and she doesn't like the open and secret battles in the court, the intrigue in the house, Li Yan shook her head and sighed: "But it's too difficult, one day I will find it." When the time comes, we will stay away from the temple disputes and only be anonymous in the rivers and lakes. ”

Xiao Chonghua saw that she was serious, and he must have thought about it a long time ago, but he just happened to ask this question. He thinks that Xie Yaoding is also like him, he is tired of the deceit in the world, so he yearns for the rivers and lakes so much. "I've never seen that girl, she likes the rivers and lakes so much, why?"

"I once heard a sentence that vaguely said, become a flat boat, anonymous, floating in the rivers and lakes, transcendent. Although I am a woman, although I am pampered by my father, but because of too many mothers, instability, and my mother's life is very difficult, I think that one day, I will not enter the high gate, find an infatuated man, retire from the rivers and lakes, and never follow in the footsteps of my mother. She said that after thanking, now the world, men have three wives and four concubines, women are alone in the empty house, how many people are worried about becoming ill, but they can't break free from such a cage, she smiled: "Qing can be the son of the land, abandon the family, now the rivers and lakes are free, I can't compare to him, I can't give up the grace of my parents, brother and sister, but I don't want to go back to that place." ”

Mother has been in her life for three years, and she thinks she can go back obediently when the time comes. It's just that the years in Jingyue Lake are too good, so much so that she has the idea of never returning to Beijing. Her father regards her as a pearl in her palm, and she has been spoiled since she was a child, and it may be difficult to accept it for a while, but time will make him want to open it.

"Thank you, you have to keep one thing in mind, I'll only say it once. Xiao Chonghua straightened out her messy hair, saw her look up, looked curious, and said with a smile: "I don't care what you were like in the past, but in the future, every bit of life needs to add me, Xiao Chonghua will be your husband, you alone." ”

"Hahaha, don't be kidding, it's not funny at all. Li Yan smiled dryly, did not stop at her feet, walked from the inside to the outside, and said as she walked: "If you are a ranger in the rivers and lakes, I can still believe it, but you are the king of Zhao, there are not many princes in Daqin, but which one is not a group of wives and concubines." Oh, don't talk about these bad things, you still haven't eaten breakfast, you'll help later. ”

Saying that she had opened the door of the house, it was already bright outside, and the snow had stopped, but the snow was still very thick, and the peach branches were heavy, and some snowflakes fell from time to time, she smiled and beckoned to Xie Chonghua, and said: "You said that the peach blossoms in Jingyue Lake are really strange, the perennial flowers are undefeated, and even the heavy snow can't make her bend her waist, even the red fox here is not afraid of the cold." ”

"Then you haven't turned over the Jingyue Lake of Yanqiu, it is rumored that the water in this lake is the tears of the dragon girl, it seems that this peach forest is made of the peach hairpin that fell from the dragon girl's hair. "Every place name in Yanqiu has a mythological color, which has been passed down for thousands of years, but no one has verified whether it is true or false.

Li Yan said with a smile: "What about the Pure Moon Lake Chronicles, what you said is clearly a myth, and you still tell me seriously." However, my mother taught me to brew a good wine, and the peach blossoms under the pressure of the snow must be exceptionally clear. ”

"You still make wine?" Xiao Chonghua asked rhetorically.

"That's natural, this girl Qin Qi's calligraphy and painting are all fine, even if it is wine, it is not a problem, wait for me to make wine, and send you a few pots." She was proud and very proud of her craft, "Don't believe it, Brother Xiu said that the peach blossom brew I brewed has never been seen in the world." ”

"Brother Xiu?" When she said this person, with extra intimacy, Xiao Chonghua subconsciously didn't want to think of other possibilities.

"Brother Xiu-" Li Yan looked back at Xiao Chonghua with a sly look, her eyebrows and eyes were full of urgency, "Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums, we grew up together, he is the best person in the world." ”

"......" Xiao Chonghua frowned, it was really what he thought in his heart, the most hated thing in the world was his childhood sweetheart, because you couldn't interfere in those years, and you can't in the future, "Childhood sweetheart?"

There was a hint of danger in his voice, Li Yan was a person who was very sensitive to danger, so he naturally felt it, and he seemed to be smiling, and said, "Xiao Chonghua, you won't really like me, you're eating jealousy." ”

"Why not, Lang's unmarried daughter is not married, not to mention that you have already promised me a person?" Xiao Chonghua sneered slightly, that is, he has a childhood sweetheart, and he also has a way to keep him from getting close to the young.

Li Yan made a very distressed look and said, "You know that the concubine has a husband, and you will give the concubine a double pearl." Feeling lingering, tied to the red shirt. The concubine's high-rise building is even from the garden, and the lover is in charge of Mingguang Road. Zhijun's intentions are like the sun and the moon, and the husband vows to live and die together. Returning Jun Mingzhu's tears, he hated to meet when he was not married. ”

"Thank you!" Xiao Chonghua was a little frustrated and shouted in a low voice.

"It's really sad. Li Yan was not frightened by him, she was suddenly not afraid of the man in front of her at all, and when she saw that the momentum was not right, she also accepted it when she saw it, poked his chest, and laughed: "Fool, joking with you." Brother Xiu is my brother, dear. My family has strict rules, where do you get any bamboo horses, but there are green plums. Coincidentally, he also knew, and what was even more coincidental was that Qingmei was his sister, but Li Yan would not tell him now.

"You, I really can't do anything about you. Xiao Chonghua patted her head, ignored her displeasure, and said, "It's not that you want to cook for me, why haven't you moved, it's late and it's noon." ”

"I know, I know, I owe you, I eat and drink for nothing, do you know that you can be disliked. Li Yan pursed her lips, with a look of disgust, and walked towards her small kitchen resignedly.

Washing rice, washing, getting out of the pot, pouring a lot of milk, putting a little white sugar, Xiao Chonghua on the side twisted his eyebrows, this is a sweet and greasy thing, he has been sick to his stomach, and can't help but say: "What you made, it looks too sweet." ”

He had tried his best to be tactful, but the clever Miss Li had already heard the disgust, and said: "I am simple here, I can only make coarse tea and light rice, if you don't like it, Jiuli Garden is not far away, with your light skills, it will be a quarter of an hour, and you will not send it slowly." ”

"I'll make a fire for you. Without saying a word, he crouched down and started to make a fire.

Li Yan originally didn't plan that Xiao Chonghua could help anything, after all, he was also a golden and precious son, and he was afraid that he had never seen such a thing as making a fire. Until he lit the fire very neatly, she was speechless in surprise, "I can't see it, you can live, it's amazing." ”

Xiao Chonghua smiled, he naturally wouldn't have done it before, but he had been on the battlefield, and many things needed to be done by himself, sometimes the march was in a hurry, and he slept in the open for a few days and nights, sharing the same taste with the soldiers, and making a fire was really a trivial matter. But this girl was obviously surprised, "The mouth can be closed, you are different, what's so strange." ”

Also, she is a princess, she is different, the rivers and lakes will teach you too many things, but she still has to defend herself, "That's different, you are Xiao Heng, the king of Zhao." ”

"Xiao Heng is also a human being. "He will also have joys and sorrows, and he will also have a favorite girl.

Li Yan didn't touch her head, thoughtfully, suddenly patted her head, and was about to go out, but Xiao Chonghua grabbed her wrist and said, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to pick some peach petals. "The breakfast she was going to sit on just needed peach petals for the dish.

"I'll go, it's snowing outside. After that, let go of Li Yan's wrist, took the basket, and disappeared in front of Li Yan's eyes in an instant like a swallow volley, Li Yan muttered: "This light skill is too good." ”

After a while, he came back with a basket, took the things and wanted to be busy, seeing him smiling, he handed her a few peach blossoms with snow in his left hand, "Flowers for beauty." ”

Li Yan's face flushed slightly, but she still took it and said, "Clever words." Before she finished speaking, Xiao Chonghua stuck something on her head and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"

"This is a better match, this peach blossom is not too late. When he was picking flowers, he thought that he must fold a few peach blossoms and give them to her, "Famous flowers are all over the country." ”

"That's a peony, you have to read more, don't go to add firewood. Li Yan sneered and instructed him to work.

The courtyard is cold, the snow is deep, and the small kitchen in the yard is full of spring, which is the world.

The taste of the world is refreshing.
