Chapter 88: Radish stew, fragrant
The lover glanced back at her, and smelled a hint of nervousness from Xin Yi's serious expression.
She didn't speak, and swayed quickly in the direction Xin Yi pointed out.
The river is calm, with gentle ripples as the breeze blows.
The boat was silent for a moment, neither of them spoke, and the sound of paddleboards paddling across the water was clear......
Xin Yi couldn't sit still, lying on the sampan at the bow of the boat, his breathing was out of proportion, and his heart was beating a little fast, so he followed suit.
The Bianhe River is the main passage connecting the capital and the state capitals between the wealth and merchants of the country, it is busy all year round, and the winter is slightly better, but at the moment the water surface is still a boat coming and going, far and near a boat shadow, but they all avoid the fish-belly-shaped bend waters on the south bank.
Xinyi's boat was small and quickly interspersed with it.
The lover turned around: "Sister, there is a stone over there......"
Xin Yi: "Come closer." ”
As far as the eye can see, near the south shore, there is a blue-white reef looming among the water waves, polished by the current to be very smooth and not very conspicuous.
Fortunately, this season is the dry season of the Bianhe River, and this reef can emerge, if it is normal or high water, the passing ships will not be able to find it without paying attention.
However, the boatmen who sail on the Bianhe River all the year round know the situation of the waterway and will deliberately avoid it, and if they encounter an unlucky ghost who is not familiar with the waterway and accidentally hit this reef, it will inevitably have the risk of capsizing.
Xin Yi asked the lover to lean the boat against the edge of the reef, looked back, and looked at the north bank of the Bianhe River across the river from this perspective.
The north shore opposite to the south shore is a fish-mouth-shaped protruding land, and there is a big Zhuangzi built near the water, the courtyard wall is very high, the blue-gray roof, and there are towering trees rising from the ground, but I don't know which dignitary's other residence, but this house is because it is a fish's mouth-shaped protrusion, surrounded by water on three sides, and only one side is connected to the shore, which is very recognizable.
"This is it."
Xin Yi's heart was beating fast, and she was only a distance of the depth of the Bianhe River from the "huge treasure", and her nerves were full of irrepressible excitement......
Looking for the treasure, the lover heard it from the mouths of the three little ones, and originally thought it was a joke that Xin Yi coaxed them, but now it seems that he is also excited.
"Sister, is there really a treasure?"
Xin Yi snorted.
The lover nervously asked, "Where?" ”
Xin Yi looked at the sparkling water, "Underwater." ”
The lover's eyes widened, "Then how do you get it, will my sister float in the water?" ”
Xin Yi pursed his lips, "A little." ”
But there were so many ships coming and going during the day, and there was a cargo ship not far from them, and a few bored boatmen on the board of the ship were looking at them curiously, and they probably saw that they were two little ladies, and they began to shout playfully.
"Are all the little ladies in Bianjing so smart?"
"What is the little lady doing where she parked the boat?"
"The fishing season is over, and this river is not a good place for fishing......
Xin Yi saw that they had no malicious intent and smiled slightly.
"Thank you, big brothers."
When he turned around, he said to his beloved, "Let's go back." ”
The lover is a little confused.
After a lot of hard work, do you want to go back as soon as you find the treasure?
She didn't understand, but she wouldn't go against Xin Yi's intentions, nodded and turned around and swayed.
"Sister, sit in the tent quickly, it's windy and cold outside."
The boat was made of planks at both ends, and in the middle was a low arched canopy made of reed mats, with two rows of horizontal planks as benches, and a small table in the middle with snacks brought by Xin Yi.
Xin Yi got in, looked at the fish-mouth-shaped Zhuangzi from the tent, secretly remembered it in his mind, and asked his lover again.
"Do you know where this place is?"
The lover nodded, "Yes." ”
She is a native of Bianjing, who grew up on the edge of the Bianhe River and is more familiar with the terrain than Xinyi.
"Who does Zhuangzi belong to, do you know?" Xin Yi asked.
The beloved: "I don't know. That Zhuangzi didn't have a name, Xiang Ling and I used to hunt pigweed and pass by outside, and when we saw that there was a forbidden army guarding, we didn't dare to approach, let alone who owned it. Sister, what is this for? ”
Xin Yi smiled, "I'll just ask." Just remember the location of that reef and we'll come back in the evening. ”
The lover nodded: "Sister, don't worry, I can save it." ”

Xin Yi's current home is also by the Bianhe River.
Before she got home, she saw from a distance the thatched pavilion on the water's edge, and the smoke rising from the roof.
Xiang Ling is cooking on the fire.
It doesn't matter if someone else eats at home or not, but she must eat, three meals are necessary, and one meal is not missing.
Gradually, Xiang Ling and his lover also developed a habit of preparing meals at the end of the day, and they couldn't ignore their parents when they ate by themselves, so Uncle Zhang's family started a daily routine of three meals a day.
The boat approached slowly.
Xin Yi sat on the board of the boat, hugged his knees and looked at this small village on the bank of the Bianhe River more than 900 years ago, and his mood was very different from when he first crossed. The people here are industrious and rich, farming, harvesting, going to Bianjing to help or do some small business in their spare time, no volume is not in a hurry, children have no homework to write, no anxiety about going to school, adults do not have 996 and no 007, the days turn the pages with the sun, the sun is a faint poem, and the days are like Song Ci.
Compared with Liang and Xiang Ling's willingness to live, she herself is actually the most volatile one.
Xin Yi smiled, looking at his small home on the shore, and a gentle smile gradually crept into his eyebrows.
The lover docked the boat, tied the rope to the stake, looked back at her, and said, "Sister, you look so good when you smile." ”
Xin Yi was stunned, "Where is it good?" ”
The lover thought for a while, "The small dimples at the corners of the mouth are good-looking, and the small vermilion mole under the eyes is good-looking, the more you look at your sister, the better it looks......"
Xin Yi was praised so brightly, "You are the first to say that I am good-looking, my mouth has become sharp, and my son can be taught." ”
She took the hem of her skirt and went straight home.
The lover looked at her back embarrassedly and whispered, "What I said is true." ”
~
The three little ones in the family have already woken up.
Ichinian was reading in the room.
It was Xin Yi who bought him a few enlightenment books.
"Thousand Character Text" and "Three Character Classic", Xin Yi has only taught it twice, and one thought can put "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate." The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining. The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest and winter are hidden" is catchy, and it is a good seedling for reading.
Ernian didn't like to read, so he hid in the corner of the courtyard wall alone, rummaging for snails from the cracks in the stones, covered in mud.
Sannian helped Xiangling to light the fire in the stove room, the little girl already knew how to use the earthen stove, and her strength was so small that she couldn't hold the tongs, but she knew how to use a wooden stick to fire the stove.
Warm and bright, the home is a little small, but extremely warm.
Xin Yi loves this feeling of home.
Especially this is a home where you can be your own master, rather than a home that is attached to a man and a housewife after a man......
"My sister is back."
Xiang Ling was chopping vegetables, and Nanmu's chopping board was thumping, very rhythmic.
Xin Yi couldn't bear the girl being detained in the back house, Xiang Ling liked cooking, she went to the bookstore in Bianjing to get recipes and teach her word by word.
Xiang Ling was encouraged and became more energetic.
Of course, Xinyi can also enjoy a more delicious taste, a win-win situation.
"I'm back, I'll take a look at what is delicious."
Xin Yi stepped forward to lift the wooden lid of the pot and sniffed, "Radish stew, fragrant." ”
Xiao Sannian stood on tiptoe, also followed up to sniff, and called sweetly: "Mother, take a bite, Sannian take a bite." ”
Xin Yi picked up the child and patted her buttocks on the ground, "It's not ripe, little gluttonous cat." ”
Sannian laughed, Xin Yi sat on the edge of the stove, lowered his head to light the fire, and asked casually, "What do you eat at night?" ”
Xiang Ling turned his head strangely and laughed.
"I haven't eaten it at noon, so my sister thinks about it at night."
Xin Yi said: "Make two more dishes in the evening, let's eat a little more solidly." ”
Xiang Ling responded with a smile.
Sannian asked, "Why does my mother eat more solidly?" ”
Xin Yi pinched her nose, "Mother is afraid of hunger." ”
Sannian: "That mother should eat an extra bowl of rice at night, the eldest brother has gone to see it, and there is still a lot of rice in our rice tank." ”
Xinyi: ......
After following Xin Yi, the life of the three children is much better than before, although Zhang Xun never treats the children badly when he is there, but the man has a big heart, and he is too busy with official business to take care of it, with a grandmother housekeeper like Liu, the child is secretly wronged, and he does not dare to speak out.
Zhang Xun is filial piety, he listens to Liu's words very much, and thinks that children must be strictly disciplined in order to be successful, and Liu is used to being two-faced, even if the child looks for Zhang Xun to complain, he will be described by Liu as ignorant.
Gradually, the three little ones didn't dare to say anything to their father anymore.
Now that they are free, they are gradually revealing their childlike nature. Three thoughts stick to Xinyi, two thoughts damage Xinyi, and one thought manages Xinyi, all of them are different, adding brightness to Xinyi's life, and life has a head.
Therefore, she is even more imperative to obtain the "huge treasure" in the shipwreck.
