Chapter 114: Cherish the Spring and the Crane Song
A court meeting, another uproar.
Li Yanhua carefully pushed the cold and hot weather in the past ten years, although the amplitude is not large, but as Jia Chen said, the temperature is indeed decreasing year by year, and everyone is uneasy for a while, and it is almost difficult to hold themselves.
Emperor Ming Kangdi immediately made a decision to search for cold-resistant crops throughout the country, and cultivate drought-resistant crops, and rewarded them heavily, and as Jia Chen, who was aware of the weather changes today, Emperor Ming Kangdi rewarded him with ten court dishes afterwards, which everyone was envious.
Jia Chen didn't feel anything about it, just ten dishes, and when he returned home, two eunuchs carried two food boxes with him.
As soon as he returned to the house, he saw that the guards were still clearing the snow, and there was a heavy snowfall yesterday, and the snow on the ground was a foot deep! Cailuan pulled Xiangling to be there, but the two of them were not clearing the snow, but playing.
Seeing Jia Chen come back, Xiangling was pleasantly surprised: "Uncle is back!"
”
I didn't care about playing with Cailuan and ran over, Qiao Shengsheng stood beside him, Jia Chen smiled and tapped her nose, "Come out to play, wear more clothes, you and Cailuan are different, she has been with me in the north for three years, and her body has adapted to it, you can't learn from her!" ”
Hearing this, Cailuan raised his eyebrows, "Little one has no conscience, just met the newcomer, and forgot the old one?" It's strange that some people say that you men like the new and hate the old! ”
Jia Chen glanced at her, "How old is it, eat this vinegar, I have lost your place here, the emperor has rewarded ten imperial dishes, all go with me to taste them~"
When Cailuan heard this, she couldn't hide a smile in her eyebrows, and then followed.
"Sister Cailuan, don't be angry with your uncle, your uncle is not that kind of person, I have known my uncle for a long time!"
Seeing Xiangling like this, the corners of Cailuan's mouth curved, and Jia Chen also smiled, the little girl has not seen her for three years, and she is still so delicate and innocent.
Seeing that Cailuan and Jia Chen both laughed, Xiangling was also a little rustic, wasn't she angry just now? How could she get better in a blink of an eye, even more fickle than the girl Lin she followed before!
As soon as the imperial meal was put down, I suddenly heard a report from a guard!
"General, there is a girl named Xichun outside the door to look for you!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiangling's eyes beside her, she followed Daiyu on weekdays, and she was also very fun with Xichun, but now that they were separated, she still thought strangely!
Although Cailuan went back to Jiafu with Jia Chen yesterday, she didn't enter Jia's mother's house, and she only occasionally heard Jia Chen mention it twice, and she was quite curious.
Jia Chen nodded, "Hmm! If she comes in the future, there is no need to spread the word again, just bring people over! ”
The guard nodded, and quickly retreated.
After a while, I saw a little girl jumping in lively, not who Xichun was, she was followed by a little girl, walking in the same direction, looking at Xichun carefully, with a wry smile on her face.
"Brother Chen!
”
Seeing Jia Chen, Xichun shouted and jumped over.
The little maid behind her, after seeing Jia Chen, didn't dare to be so presumptuous, and bowed respectfully, "Meet Master Hou!" ”
"Wow~ Where did you get so much delicious food??"
Smelling the fragrance, Xiao Xichun looked at it, and then saw the ten imperial meals on the table, and couldn't help but exclaim, although it is the cost of life in Jiafu, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are commonplace, but she has never encountered this level of imperial food.
Jia Chen smiled and shook his head, "The emperor has rewarded ten imperial meals, go wash your hands and taste them together!" ”
As soon as she heard that it was from the palace, Xichun's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said that it was not delicious or not, and she had something to brag about with her sisters when she went back.
Now there are not many maids in the house, and they can't serve for a while, or Xiangling took her to wash her hands, but she didn't care, just heard that when Xiangling was only a maid in the house, she was still a little careless, and now that her brother Chen has become a Hou Ye, why don't you buy more two little maids around!
During the meal, a few people at the table talked and laughed, not restrained at all, Xiangling was unwilling to serve on the table, but there was Cailuan, where was she willing to let go of this stupid girl.
This is the benefit of another vein, everything in the house is decided by Jia Chen himself, there is no elder pressure on his head, he is extremely comfortable, in the house, as long as Jia Chen speaks, then there is no problem.
If you put it elsewhere, don't even think about it, the rules and regulations of etiquette are exactly the same.
That being the case, Jia Chen naturally wouldn't insist on those rules to restrain himself, how he was at ease, and he didn't abide by anything that didn't eat or sleep, and after a table of meals, everyone was chic and comfortable.
"I'm a blessing at this time, I happened to have a chance and rubbed a royal meal!"
After Xichun washed up, after taking two sips of tea, he said with a smile.
Jia Chen smiled, "It's just a royal meal!" Xu is the food in the two provinces on weekdays is not worse than these things, but the name is good! The practice is more exquisite! ”
Then Jia Chen smiled and asked, "By the way, why do you have time to come to me today?" ”
Xichun secretly glanced around, then bit her lip and pasted it, stood up, leaned on Jia Chen's ear and said, "I've finished reading that book, but the story is not over yet!" I wanted to hear it, so I ran over! Originally, Sister Lin also wanted to come, but she was embarrassed~"
Hearing this, Jia Chen was happy, this person was a clever ghost with a small ghost, and he knew that those things couldn't be said clearly, so he chewed his tongue in his ear.
He stretched out his hand and flicked a cherished spring forehead, and smiled lightly, "It's gone, the story will end somewhere!" ”
Xichun was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, "Impossible, the little clay figure hasn't given birth to a baby yet!" ”
Hearing this, Jia Chen couldn't help laughing, sure enough, there are some things, different people's focus is different, the manuscripts he left behind are indeed unfinished, and they are just teasing her.
Seeing Jia Chen's eyes a little teasing, Xichun didn't know that Jia Chen was lying to her, so angry she opened her mouth, pouted her head, and pretended to be angry.
Cailuan on the side heard this, and couldn't help but be a little curious, what were Jia Chen and this little girl talking about?
Xiangling on the side, seeing Cailuan's puzzled face, opened her mouth to explain: "It's a book, it's very interesting, Miss Xichun has been reading it, but the story has not been written." ”
Hearing this, Cailuan also guessed a rough idea, and asked with some interest: "Did he write it?" ”
Xiang Lingmeng nodded twice, looked at Jia Chen's side, and there was a trace of expectation and yearning in her eyes, not to mention the girl who cherished spring, she also wanted to know the story very much!
At this moment, two loud birdsong suddenly sounded in the garden outside, which made several people in the house stunned.
Cailuan glanced outside, and gave Jia Chen a helpless look, she seemed to already know what it was, but those guys, she really couldn't do anything, although she wouldn't hurt her, but she didn't listen to her, depending on the situation, it should have flown over from Liaodong.
Jia Chen let go of his perception, and next to the Taiye Pool in the Hou Mansion, there were two radiant cranes playing and playing, and they couldn't wait for it! He didn't bring the two big white withers back to the Hou Mansion, after all, they were too huge, and people came and went, and they were too ostentatious, so he let them go to the mountains outside the capital.
The pair of big white withers under his hand already had some wisdom, and Jia Chen told them not to attack people and animals without authorization, so he let them go.
As for these two red-crowned cranes, they are not very aggressive, and in winter, it is difficult to hunt after all, so they secretly let them come here at night, after the baptism of their true qi, these two guys are no longer afraid of the cold, but now they are playing in the snow.
After thinking about it, he said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see a good thing!" ”
After speaking, he took Xichun, Xiangling, and a few girls to the backyard of the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion was huge, and when Emperor Ming Kang sent people to build it, it was not built according to the system of the General Hou Mansion, but according to the level of the national prince.
And also from the underground river outside the Beijing to draw water, built an artificial lake, of course, I don't know whether Ming Kangdi was intentional, in addition to let people build a small garden, than the Ningguo Mansion Huifang Garden is not bad, yesterday when he was on a night tour, he saw this garden, and felt a little funny, because it was almost exactly the same as Huifang Garden.
Afterwards, he also had a new view of the Ming Kangdi in the court, but it felt good.
