The co-author county lord looked at it so straight, thinking about how to cook?

For a while, Pearl was stunned and inexplicably amused, and even felt that such a county lord was particularly cute: "The maid will take it to Ziyu." ”

"When it's done, remember to send it to the East Palace in half." Shen Xihe couldn't help but admonish.

Pearl couldn't help but laugh, she decided to send it herself, wanting to see His Royal Highness the Prince's reaction.

Of course, not everyone can catch the wild goose alive, or I can't catch it, and I will ask someone to catch two to act as a façade.

The wild geese are unreared, so naturally they can't be raised, and they usually become a meal on a plate, but the bride-to-be said to cook and gave the cooking method, which is really unprecedented.

Shen Yueshan finished the dowry, and was actually a little melancholy in his heart, which meant that his daughter's marriage was one step closer, and when he returned to the inner courtyard with a lonely face, he ushered in Jasper, and after the salute, Jasper said: "Lord, the county lord invites the prince to eat soup." ”

His daughter's food couldn't arouse interest, Shen Yueshan was not interested, but he still went to the inner courtyard, sat down on the table, Shen Xihe brought the stewed wild goose soup to him, and let people serve a piece of wild goose roasted meat: "Daddy taste, is it different from the wild geese in our northwest?" ”

Shen Yueshan's blazing tiger eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Shen Xihe: "Wild geese? ”

He pursed his lips and nodded with a smile: "Big geese, two." ”

Where did the geese come from, or two, it goes without saying, Shen Yueshan suddenly swept away the clouds, and the bold laughter filled the small courtyard in an instant, and he feasted on it.

"Mmmm, the soup is fresh and the meat is fragrant ......" commented while eating.

Shen Xihe sat next to him, watching his father's smile disappear, and couldn't help but smile, she actually knew that he saw the dowry today, even if he had already accepted the fact that his daughter was going to get married, he would still be sad, so he did this to coax him.

I don't know if it was a miracle to eat the wild geese sent by my son-in-law, in short, Shen Yueshan selectively forgot about his daughter's marriage, and he was happy all day long.

Different from Shen Yueshan's laughter, Xiao Huayong was very happy at first when he heard that the county lord's mansion had sent a food box, and when a plate of roasted meat was served, the plate was very good-looking, the wings of the wild goose and the head of the wild goose were still there, how did he look at it and feel that something was wrong.

"Tianyuan, come and see, what is this hot meat?" Xiao Huayong couldn't believe it, his wild goose had only been delivered for a morning, and it had become a dish on the plate.

Tianyuan shrunk his neck, he and Xiao Huayong have been wandering outside for many years, it can be said that they have eaten everything that can be eaten in the world, and this roasted wild goose has also been eaten, he recognized it at a glance, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Your Highness, the pearl girl is still waiting outside, and her subordinates are clumsy, why don't you invite the pearl girl to come and ask?" Tianyuan decisively prevaricated.

Xiao Huayong glanced at him coolly: "Please come in." ”

Pearl bowed in and saluted Xiao Huayong: "Servant, see Your Highness......"

"No courtesy." Xiao Huayong interrupted her impatiently and asked, "What kind of meat is this?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, this is the roasted meat of wild geese." Pearl replied truthfully.

Xiao Huayong's face suddenly stiffened, in fact, he had already seen it, but he was a little unwilling, even if he heard the words of the pearl, he was still a little unwilling: "Where did the geese come from?" ”

"It's a dowry from His Highness this morning." The pearl completely broke Xiao Huayong's last glimmer of hope.

Xiao Huayong was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know what expression to put on, and he didn't know what to say.

Pearl boldly raised her head quietly, and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince staring at the plate of roasted geese in a daze, with a look of pity, just when she thought Xiao Huayong was going to say something, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince picked up the spoon and started eating.

As soon as the meat was in his mouth, he hummed his head lightly, and became a radiant face that was pleased by the food, and the more he ate, the more fragrant it became, making Tianyuan stand aside and swallow saliva, this wild goose was different from what he had eaten in the past, and the fragrance was getting stronger and stronger.

The pearl also smelled, but she had eaten the craftsmanship of purple jade, and she could still look as usual, and she poured Xiao Huayong a bowl of soup for Xiao Huayong to eat, so that Xiao Huayong could eat happily.

When Xiao Huayong ate the wings, he found that its skin had been cut, and he stretched it along the mouth with a double chopstick, and pulled out a small bamboo tube, which opened and poured out a small paper roll, and unfolded it with Shen Xihe's handwriting.

Yongyong singing geese, the beginning of the rising sun. A gentleman is like a wife, and the ice is not gone.

This is the reason for the custom of the wild goose as a dowry, Xiao Huayong pinched the paper scroll and couldn't help laughing.

He didn't care about half of what he had eaten, wiped his hands casually, then stood up and walked to the study, and also wrote a letter and handed it to Pearl: "Hongyan passed the book, I have received the goose, and the book will be handed over to you by you and me." ”

After taking the salute, Pearl left the East Palace.

As soon as Shen Xihe coaxed Shen Yueshan, Pearl came back with Xiao Huayong's letter, which wrote an allusion about the wild goose.

The reason why the wild goose has become a dowry is because it is the affection among the birds, a pair of geese, if you lose a mate, the other goose will stay together for life, and then do not find a new mate, representing a lifetime of a pair.

Many people will give geese as a dowry, but no one has ever explored the true meaning behind the geese.

This is by no means a symbol of family and face, a pair of geese is a loyal promise. The funny thing is that many people send geese just to send a scene.

From Pan Yang's kindness to the allusions of the wild goose, he always took the trouble to show her that it was enough for him to have her in his life.

Shen Xi and Rao are hard-hearted, and they are also soft one day, and she put the letter away.

Pearl found that the county lord had finally treasured the things sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and in the past, such non-special gifts or ordinary letters were disposed of at will.

For a long time after that, Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong relied on correspondence, as the wedding date approached, they could not meet this is custom, they all said that it was bad luck to meet before marriage, Shen Xihe did not believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and scoffed at this.

But Xiao Huayong cares very much, and the colloquial language is to see each other before marriage and not see each other after marriage.

Because he was nervous about this marriage, he would rather believe it than believe it, and carefully follow every step of etiquette, which is probably the most polite time that Shen Xihe has seen Xiao Huayong.

In February, the wedding was in full swing, and on this day, for some reason, Princess Yaoxi and King Xiao Chang won a dispute, and was accidentally pushed into the lotus pond in the palace by King Lie, and happened to be bumped into by Emperor Youning.

Later, news came that King Lie was scolded by Emperor Youning for twenty years, and the next day Emperor Youning issued a decree to crown Princess Yaoxi as a concubine. became one of the four concubines, and was the only concubine with a title.

Princess Yaoxi became Emperor Youning's first foreign concubine and entered the harem in mid-February, where she was said to be favored.
