Volume 1 Floating Life Chapter 17 Huanyi (3)
"Now that the pear blossom wine is brewed, it won't be opened until July or August, and it will take a long time to ......."
Ah Heng smiled and said: "The time for brewing fresh flower wine and fruit wine is short, many mellow wines have to be sealed for three or five years, and even more for twenty years, the longer the time, the more mellow the taste of the wine." β
"Twenty years to drink!"
"It's not drinking, it's tasting, and if you drink just for the sake of drinking, you're ruining good wine."
Jing Tan was ashamed and said: "It's that I'm vulgar, it seems that I have to ask our brother Ah Heng for advice on this wine." β
Hearing her say this, Ah Heng's cheeks couldn't help but redden, and he smiled: "The princess is making fun of the slave ...... again."
Jing Tan squatted down to pick and choose with him, suddenly remembered something, and said: "I heard Ying'er say that you have a jar of good aged wine, which has been stored for several years, when, give me a taste?" β
Seeing her smiling, Ah Heng hurriedly avoided her inquiring gaze and said: "Princess, don't listen to that little hoof's nonsense, it's just that the last time she begged the slave for the wine slave and didn't give it to her, she just asked the princess to dispose of the slave, I want to have this kind of good thing, why don't I talk to the princess early." β
Jing Tan was half skeptical, and she didn't ask any more, but her curiosity attracted her to another conversation: "In those days, Ying'er ran to the incense courtyard when she had nothing to do, why haven't you seen her go there since she came back from the spring banquet?" β
Ah Heng cleaned the selected pear blossoms, and said, "How can the slave know about the little hoof." β
Jing Tan rolled her eyes, approached him and whispered, "Come on, you think I don't know about her and Lord Huang of the Incense Courtyard!" β
The incense house is a special incense making house in the palace, and the incense products of each palace are also in charge of the spices paid tribute from all over the world, and the business of the imperial merchants outside the palace also comes from the incense garden. And the head of the courtyard Huangshan, is the leader of the three sessions of the folk incense fighting conference in previous years, and has a deep attainment in incense, and was later edicted into the palace to be the head of the courtyard.
Ah Heng paused to clean Pear Blossom's hand, sighed and said, "Since the princess knows, what is the princess going to do?" β
"Fornication with palace people is a felony, and it should be Ling Chi."
Ah Heng looked at her with a serious face in disbelief, and then saw her smile, and heard her say: "This is what I want you to tell her, after all, my identity is not good to say something to her, but she is a person in my palace, if you have a favorite man, you don't have to wait until you are twenty-five years old, and no one will say anything if you want to come a few years in advance, and then you can find a small mistake and let it out, but in the two or three years before that, she can't make any big mistakes, if she is confused because of that man, I can't protect her." β
Ah Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The princess's words, the slave must be brought word for word!" β
Looking at his bright smile, she couldn't help but think, thinking that he was also looking forward to Ying'er being well, although it was inevitable that Ying'er would be a little reluctant to leave the palace early, but Ying'er, as a woman, was trapped in the palace ban, and still had the hope of getting out of the palace to marry, but Ah Heng ...... Thinking of this, Jing Tan couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
"Ah Heng, I haven't asked you, how did you enter the palace?"
Ah Heng paused and said in a sullen voice: "When I was young, there was a famine in the village, and my family couldn't eat, so they sent me to the palace. β
Jing Tan remembered that he had two brothers on his head, but he was selected by a natural disaster, "Then do you blame them?" β
Ah Heng's hand that was cleaning the pear blossom seemed to be a little heavier, but his tone was flat: "No wonder, they can't help it." β
Seeing her abnormal expression, Ah Heng worried: "Is the princess disappointed in Ying'er, and she has thoughts that she shouldn't move." β
Jing Tan explained: "All beings are equal, and love, hate, hatred, and ignorance are not crimes, so why should they and should not. β
Ah Heng lowered his head and seemed to accidentally say what he was thinking.
"Are all beings really equal......?"
"What?" Jing Tan asked.
"The slave said that the princess has been learning Zen with Master Chu Su for a long time, and she can even speak Zen language."
Hearing that name, she suddenly panicked, lowered her head, and said angrily: "Mage is mage, I am me." β
"How has the princess been ...... these two days?" he thought about it, and still asked, "Why are you hiding from the mage of the first death?" β
"You can see it all......"
Ah Heng smiled, "I'm afraid the mage can see it too." β
"I just suddenly felt that it was better not to get too close to him, it would be better for everyone......"
Ah Heng remembered the piece of paper that fell from her book, shook his head, and muttered sullenly: "If the princess really thinks like this, it's fine." β
Jing Tan worked in the small kitchen for a long time, and finally made the pear soup and pear blossom wine out, and ordered someone to save the jar and send it to the Cuiwen Hall and the Chenghuan Palace, thinking of a precious agarwood incense, he felt that even if they had been incompatible for many years, they should also exchange courtesies, so he saved a few more jars and sent them to the Kangning Hall to Lan Qing and Yabai.
In the evening, Jingtan painted a picture of Danqing, and Li Yu came, followed by Li Yu.
"My sister is really beneficial, I think it's because of a good gentleman."
Before they entered the door, they heard Li Yu's laughter.
Jing Tan instructed Ah Heng to pour tea for them, and said with a smile: "The second brother just makes fun of me, the eldest sister is good at music and rhythm, the second sister is good at famous books, and the younger sister now loves to paint Danqing, and has a skill, isn't it a long face for the brothers?" β
"It's so good, it's just that it doesn't have a long face, but I don't know~"
"If you want to have a long face, you must be more knowledgeable, I heard that the second brother's house has a lot of famous Danqing, why don't you have a good second brother in the future, send someone to send someone to let my sister watch one or two, and learn to learn?"
Li Yu pouted to Li Yu, who was watching the painting on the side, and said: "Look at her, I haven't collected debts from her yet, but she asked me for something first, it's really narrow!" β
Li Yu looked at her painting on the side, was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "The red plum posture has come out, but it is a little less charming, too charming......"
"......" The two smacked their tongues, thinking that their second brother was immersed in the painting, and did not pay attention to what they had just said.
"This is strange, the second brother said, what debt do you want to collect from me?"
Li Yu took a sip of tea and pretended to frown, "This dragon group Shengxue in your palace is good, but it is not as good as the pear blossom soup you made yourself." β
Jing Tan smiled in his heart, and said secretly: It must be the pear blossom soup that Fang just sent to the Chuiwen Hall to the eldest brother who was bumped into by him, thinking that he thought that he only gave it to the eldest brother and didn't give it to him, so he annoyed her.
Sure enough, I heard him say: "I didn't say this, I am the third sister who can be seen every day, if I want to drink the pear blossom soup of the third sister, I am afraid that my sister will not make it for me?" β
Seeing that he was playing tricks, Jing Tan was not in a hurry for him, and hurriedly went to serve him tea, "That's, what the second brother wants to drink, as long as the younger sister can do it, I am not afraid that the brothers will dislike it." This time, I was worried about my eldest brother's health, thinking that I was embarrassed to annoy my eldest brother every day, so I sent the pear soup to my eldest brother first. β
Li Yu smiled ambiguously at her, and continued: "Coincidentally, today I am in the Chuiwen Palace, and it is a coincidence that Wang Shaoyin is also discussing in the Chuiwen Palace, and it is a coincidence that he bumped into the pear soup sent by his sister's person, and it happened that Wang Shaoyin also saw it, and said that the third sister owed him a favor, and now he knows that his sister still has this hand, but he does not have his share, so he feels cold and sad, and before the discussion is over, he hurried out of the palace. β
Jing Tan smacked her tongue again, thinking that the imperial brother had misunderstood their relationship, and she didn't know how many people heard this, and began to secretly regret that she had sent pear soup at the wrong time, which made her embarrassed.
She rolled her eyes and said, "What a rare thing, a pair of pear soup, forcing you two to come to me!" Isn't my little dragon group fragrant, the second brother doesn't like it! β
Li Yu still said ambiguously: "It's not a rare thing, but your brother Youjun likes it tightly, and I don't know why it's ......."
Jing Tan said angrily: "If Brother Youjun likes it, I'll let someone make something good for him another day, why bother the second brother to talk here." β
"Okay, don't tease her, it's important to redraw." Li Yu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
Jing Tan was busy going to see the painting, Li Yu was afraid that she would be really annoyed, so he stopped making fun of her, and said with a smile: "It's the royal brother who has a lot of trouble, don't blame my sister." β
Li Yu looked at her paintings, and saw that there were several painting scrolls inserted in the blue glaze of the Ru kiln, all of which were red plums, but the forms were different, and she was puzzled: "Although the flower and bird paintings are the most easy to learn and understand, why did the third sister only paint this plum for several days?" β
Jing Tan turned his head to look at the painting in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Even a plum branch also has a variety of painting methods, if you want to paint the spirit is not easy, if you can't paint to the essence, what is the point of painting a variety of types?" β
Li Yu cast an approving glance at her, secretly feeling that the third sister who had always coped with her studies had a trace of ambition, but then Li Yu's words dispelled his thoughts.
"For a few days, this plum blossom can't spread the ......"
"Forehead ......"
Jingtan said secretly: Okay, she really should work harder......
Until the evening, it was inconvenient for them to stay longer, so Li Yu repainted a picture of winter plums for her, gave some pointers, and the two left.
Jing Tan copied the red plum painted by Li Yu again, until she fell asleep, she opened the "Diamond Sutra", but could not find the small piece of paper, thinking back to today, the heart is not good, I think it is in the Long Live Mountain, that is an important thing, although no one will know that it is hers, but if someone finds out, that person will not be able to get out...... Thinking like this, he didn't dare to alarm others, so he took a lamp and hurried out of Qifeng Pavilion.
Because of the late night, there were no palace people walking around Long Live Mountain, she only wore a coat at random, and even occasionally a palace person failed to recognize her.
Jing Tan found the cross-cloud corridor, squatted down and searched for it with the glass palace lamp, but she didn't see the thing.
Could it be that it fell into the academy...... She was lying on the ground secretly annoyed, but she heard a crisp voice from the grove in front of herβ"Smack!" "It's like someone is slapping you.
Jing Tan hurriedly blew out the candle flame in the glass cover and knelt under the corridor.
"Although the cook who prepared the medicinal meal has changed, the slave has already bought off the people of the incense garden, and this time the slave will definitely not disappoint the master......
Although it was intermittent and indecent, Jing Tan was suspicious in her heart, and she wanted to climb closer to hear it clearly, but she forgot that she also had a glass lamp in her hand, and the lamp dragged on the ground and made a hoarse sound, which woke up the person in front of her.
"Who!?"
Jing Tan hurriedly ran back, and in a hurry she was hooked by the branches in the forest, and she didn't care to pick it up, so she went down to Banzai Mountain by moonlight.
At this time, Ah Heng held the lamp in his room, carefully unfolded the piece of paper, and looked at it carefully, the facial features of the person on the paper were not inked, looking at the posture, but he also knew that it was a monk who was holding a pen......
