The grapes ripen in June and can ripen until the first month.

When it was cool under the grape trellis, and when the children were not allowed to go out, they would read or play under the grape trellises, and from time to time they would look up at the round grapes on the shelves and ask, "When will I be able to eat them?"

As the emperor's grandson, they will never lack food and clothing, and they are as greedy as country children. There is one thing, people eat alone is not delicious, if a group of people rush to eat together, it is particularly delicious.

The emperors and grandchildren played together, and the grapes were also very delicious and fun.

Zhaoren was telling them about the origin of grapes: "After Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang, hollowed out the Western Regions, grapes began to be introduced to the Central Plains...... "Suddenly heard this, and said smoothly, "You can eat it now." ”

He Jun and He Mo immediately stared at Lord Zhaoren with bright eyes, happy and not very convinced.

Zhaoren looked at their round eyes, and knew that these two boys were short-sighted, so he smiled and said, "These grapes ripen early and late, do you take a closer look at the largest ones in the sunny place, are they extraordinarily dark?"

The shelves of grapes are draped in the old green leaves, dark or light, the dark ones are already black, and the light purple is still very obvious.

Zhaoren tiptoed to reach a deep black grape, peeled off the skin in his hand, and asked them with a smile, "Who wants to eat it?"

She also teased these children on weekdays, so that they all dared not believe this little aunt, and looked at her suspiciously, twisting their little brows, suspecting that she was going to trick them into eating sour grapes again.

Only Han Zhi didn't have the heart, and ran over and said big: "Ah......"

Zhaoren fed the grapes to Han Zhi, picked her up and asked, "Is it sweet?"

Han Zhi nodded vigorously: "Sweet!" Her big eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she was very happy.

"Little aunt, little aunt!" the rest of the children became excited, begging Zhaoren to pick grapes.

Zhaoren slowly picked up Han Zhi and lifted it high: "Sister Zhi, you pick it." ”

Han Zhi was very happy, in addition to counting her as the youngest in this villa, she had never had to look up at people, and at this time, she saw that her brothers and sisters were not as tall as herself, and she suddenly danced in mid-air.

It didn't matter if she twisted it, she made Zhaoren sweat, and hurriedly said to her: "Pick it quickly, if you don't pick it again, you can let it go." ”

Stretching out her little hand and grabbing two handfuls randomly, Zhaoren put her down, only to see that Hanzhi's two fleshy little hands were only holding three or four grapes in total, and she was looking at her dumbfounded brothers and sisters too much, which was not enough.

Fortunately, the royal child was more reasonable, and the first one stood up and said, "You eat first, and I'll pick it later." ”

Yining and Hetang nodded: "That's it, let's pick it ourselves, and you can eat these." ”

Yi'an and other girls also humbly got up, or let their younger brother eat first, or let their sister move first, Han Zhi's two hands were sour, and they didn't see them take the grapes, and as soon as they let go, the grapes fell to the ground.

The children let out a sigh of regret for the grapes that they had not been able to reach. Zhaoren laughed: "Sister Zhi'er's picks are all sour, and none of them can be eaten!"

He didn't believe it, and when he saw that Hanzhi still had one in his hand, he took it and stuffed it in his mouth and licked it, and suddenly covered his cheeks and wrinkled his face: "It's so sour!"

It took him a while to recover, and he said bitterly: "It's more sour than vinegar!"

Only then did the children believe Zhaoren's words, and pestered her to ask what kind of grapes were the sweetest, and Zhaoren made them so anxious that they stomped their feet in a hurry, and then smiled and said: "The black is sweet, and the lighter the color, the more sour." ”

The grape trellis was not high, but the royal people were all tall, and Zhaoren stood on tiptoe, and in a short time he picked a dozen or so round and large grapes, and asked each of them to taste one.

This time it was really sweet, and He Zhen couldn't help but say: "My little aunt likes to coax us to play the most, but this time I didn't coax us." ”

Zhaoren disagreed: "When am I going to coax you to play? ”

When Princess Zhou saw it in the house, she couldn't laugh so much that she almost dropped the teacup to the ground, so she called Zhaoren through the window: "Ask someone to set up a ladder to pick grapes with you." ”

Good Empress Feng and grandson, eating grapes is so cold, it makes people laugh.

Zhaoren reminded his mother that if he really asked someone to set up a ladder, he didn't need others to pick it up, and he climbed up quickly to do it.

The grape leaves are dense and cover people's eyes, and Zhaoren can't see clearly when he is close, so he and Zhen and they circle around the ladder at the bottom, directing Zhaoren to pick grapes.

At this time, most of the grapes were not ripe and could not be picked in bunches, so Zhaoren only picked the huge black ones, carefully picked them and put them in the bamboo basket he carried with him.

Lily said: "There is also a grape tree in our yard in the countryside, which should bear fruit this year, and I don't know if it will bear fruit or not." ”

Princess Zhou glanced at her: "You also want to pick grapes?" Before Lily could speak, she laughed, "Also, you are not a few years older than Zhaoren, and you are still a child in my eyes. ”

Lily didn't agree, didn't agree, and stood there for a while before she said embarrassedly: "Then the tired mother will watch this grinding spirit for me, and I will go and play with my sister and them for a while." ”

Lily walked to the bottom of the ladder, held on to the ladder and told Zhaoren to come down, Zhaoren had already picked half a basket of grapes, and said happily: "Second sister-in-law, how can you do this? Let me come." ”

Lily couldn't help laughing: "You forgot that I grew up in the countryside?" When she climbed trees everywhere and picked elm, walnut flowers, and hairy peaches to satisfy her hunger, Zhaoren still couldn't walk.

Don't look at her weaker in front of Song Haonian, when it comes to farming things such as climbing trees and picking fruits, there are few women in the capital who can beat her.

On the Grange, for the convenience of activities, the big guys don't wear gorgeous coats, but only farm clothes. Lily cleaned herself up a little, climbed the ladder neatly, grabbed the vine pole in one hand, looked at the children below and smiled: "Tell me which string you want." ”

Shohito only knew how to pick the grapes that drooped, but he didn't know that the upper layer of the grape trellis received the most light and ripened the earliest. Lily simply poked half of her body out of the grape trellis, and sure enough, she saw several half-ripe bunches of grapes lying there in the middle of the upper leaves.

She was quick with her hands and feet, picking half a bunch to change places, and it was only a short while, which was more than Zhaoren tossing for half a day.

Zhaoren couldn't help but look at Lily with admiration: "I thought I was capable enough, I didn't want my second sister-in-law to be more powerful, but I underestimated people." ”

Lily said: "I don't know anything else, but I can do farm work, if you change to writing with a pen and drawing a bow and shooting arrows, it will really stump me." ”

The children didn't seem to understand what they were saying, and they looked at the two baskets of grapes with excitement. Lily simply carried the basket and beckoned them to wash the grapes, which was originally the work of servants, but the children were full of energy.

Bring up the cool water from the well, wash the grapes one by one, and put them on the plate. In order to look good, Princess Zhou specially sent two ruffled plates wrapped with silk white agate, and the amethyst-like grapes were placed on the white agate plate, which was really beautiful.

There were still a few bunches left, and Lily remembered that there was also hidden ice in the Zhuangzi, but the weather was not hot and could not be used, so he washed it and asked someone to take it and put it in the ice cellar: "This thing is better when frozen." ”

The freshly picked grapes are sour and sweet, and the taste is very sweet, and it is really a fairy day to sit under the breezy pergola and eat the grapes.

If he was so hungry that his saliva flowed downward, Lily picked a few grapes and tore off the skins, picked off the seeds, and pressed the juice out with a spoon to feed him, but he was still the first time to drink this thing, and he was so happy that he couldn't do it.

By the next day, the grapes that had been frozen hard in the ice cellar were ready to eat, and it was like putting a piece of ice in the mouth, which was sweet and sour, and it was really better than fresh grapes. Only it was too cold to dare to eat more, their brothers and sisters only got two each, Zhaoren thought he could get more, but Princess Zhou said: "Your girl's house, it is not appropriate to use more cold things." He actually sent it to Qingsong and Mu San, and he hated Zhaoren for seeing them for several days in a row

Gas.

In the blink of an eye, on the seventh day of the seventh month, when Lily wrote a letter to Song Haonian, he naturally wanted to mention the grapes at home in Qingliu Town, and Song Haonian wrote that he had arrived at Mount Tai, and if the sacrifice went well, he would be able to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival after Ruzhen was born, and he definitely wants to reunite his family and refuses to miss it.

The speed of the Daming post station is extremely fast, and Lily heard Zhaoren say that it will only take ten days to send an urgent order from the capital to Yunnan. However, the family letter is not an urgent paperwork, and the back and forth time will be longer, and when Lily receives Song Haonian's letter, it is already the beginning of August, and the princess is ready to return to the capital.

The children are very reluctant to the grange, these days they are not only happy to play, but also with the children of the village to form a friendship, there is a back to the lily and heard and both solemnly with a village child said: "You are good to study, in the future imperial examination, you will be my palace chief." ”

The boy said, "We are friends, if I want to be your long history, I have to listen to you, it's not worth it." ”

He Jun said: "You are so stupid, we are the princes, we have to listen to the long history." ”

When the kid heard that Changshi was so powerful, even the prince had to listen to him, it was really majestic, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Then I'll go to make a long history for you in the future, you can remember, don't ask others to grab my seat." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not a prince yet, when I become a prince, I'll leave you a long historical seat. ”

Although these children's minds are ridiculous, they are also cute, and then Lily whispered to Princess Zhou, and the two laughed for several days.

At the beginning of August, Princess Qixin returned to Beijing with a group of imperial grandchildren, and no longer cared about having fun, and was busy preparing for the festival.

The customs in Beijing are different from other places, and the people come and go with their own exquisiteness, and the lily does not understand these, and becomes an idler, so he simply brings it up wholeheartedly.

After a few days, he followed the letter, saying that the prince was only a hundred miles away from the capital, and he could return to Beijing in a day or two.

Lily felt that she had a son with Song Hao's old husband and wife, and he hadn't seen anyone for months, and she didn't miss him much.

Who knew that as soon as she heard this letter, she stood up suddenly, her heart beat suddenly, and she couldn't be calm for a long time, and even Zhaoren laughed at her: "Xiao Bisheng is newly married, and the second sister-in-law looks more delicate than the bride." Lily's face turned red with shame, so she had to pretend that she didn't hear it, and poked her cheeks and said, "Your father is coming back." ”
