Donglin smiled: "The little general didn't eat anything good over there, right, he seems to have lost some weight?" ”

Zhao Xu touched his face and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the sand is big, and the face is rough." ”

Xianghua noticed that he had a strip of cloth tied to his hand, so she asked, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

Zhao Xu glanced at it and said unconcernedly: "It's nothing, I was a little injured." By the way, I didn't know that you guys moved up, and Chasing Feng and Zhao Lei were still down there. ”

Xianghua didn't ask again when he didn't seem to want to say, Taro and Donglin went down the mountain to pick up people and came immediately, while the others were ready to cook.

Zhao Xu saw that Yuan Bao was dozing off with half-squinted eyes next to the fire, so he picked up a small branch to tease him, but Yuan Bao half ignored it.

Cheng Linchang asked, "What does the little general want to eat?" Can you go home for the New Year? ”

Zhao Xu smiled: "I went back on the day of the New Year." In the past few days, I have eaten too much fish, and I want to eat something light. ”

"There's not much else, there are a lot of light ones in our family!" Cheng Linchang said with a smile.

Xianghua said: "Then come a bowl of bean curd rice, accompanied by sour radish and duck soup, which is greasy and appetizing." ”

Zhao Xu heard it and said happily: "Very good, very good!" That's it! ”

Taro and Donglin picked up Zhao Lei, only to find that they also had New Year's gifts.

Cheng Linchang repeatedly said no, Zhao Xu only said that he couldn't eat for nothing, and he had to leave things here.

"Even if it's a New Year's gift, you can't have such a ......," Cheng Linchang said embarrassedly.

Zhao Xu pointed to one box and said, "This box is a New Year's gift", and pointed to another box and said, "This is a congratulatory gift for moving to a new home."

He smiled and said, "No more, no less!" ”

Cheng Linchang had nothing to repay, so he could only cook more good dishes.

He worked with Xianghua and did it in a hurry, and it didn't take much time to do it. In addition to the soup dishes mentioned earlier, I also made a steamed dried scallop, tender pea tip broth, a spicy fried back to the pot meat, a sauce fried kidney flower, a pot of wine-stuffed small rice balls, a stack of hawthorn cakes, a table full of people, and several people sat around.

Although Zhao Lei was a subordinate of the Zhao family, Zhao Xu didn't care about this, and only pulled him to sit. Zhao Lei didn't talk about these false courtesies, and after a while, a group of people were eating and drinking with laughter.

The diet of the Zhao Mansion is naturally exquisite, but it is all those every year, and it is not as fresh as the Xianghua family. And the food of Xianghua's family is more fragrant than others, but after a while, Zhao Xu has already eaten well.

Donglin smiled and gave him a piece of hawthorn cake.

Zhao Xu waved his hand again and again: "I can't eat it, and if I have to be appetizing, I will have to eat my belly." ”

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Along the way, I heard the little young master say how delicious the things here are, I just don't believe it, but I believe it now." No wonder the little master ran here when he was free. ”

Cheng Linchang said happily: "Then eat more." You've done a great job! ”

The crowd ate again for a while.

Zhao Lei and Cheng Linchang chatted very well, and the two went to the forest as they talked, Zhao Xu and Donglin Xiangmiao played for a while, and came to see what Xianghua was busy with.

Xianghua is sorting out the pepper seeds, which will be planted in a few days.

Zhao Xu walked over slowly, looked at it and asked, "What is this?" ”

Xianghua suddenly remembered that the chili peppers were all on his head, and he was a little embarrassed: "This is chili peppers." ”

"I've heard people mention, how do you have so many pepper seeds?"

Xianghua smiled: "I'm a delicious person, I found this thing on the mountain by chance, and I thought it was very palatable, so I paid attention to protect it." ”

Zhao Xu was very interested, nodded and said: "Chili pepper is indeed unique, you can think of using it to make money, it's really smart." ”

Xianghua twisted even more, and held back for a while before saying, "Little General, I was worried that others would suspect me before, so I lied in your name. ”

Zhao Xu looked at her with a smile: "What did you say?" ”

Xianghua's cheeks turned crimson and said, "I said that you gave me this chili pepper." ”

Zhao Xu laughed: "I said how did this chili pepper arrive in the capital in half a year, I see." It doesn't matter, but since you have borrowed my name, how are you going to thank me? ”

Xianghua was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "How do you want to thank the little general?" ”

Zhao Xu stared at her seriously for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I'm just talking about playing, are you serious?" I haven't seen you for half a year, and you seem to have grown taller. ”

Xianghua touched her head and said with a smile: "It's a little taller." ”

"It's getting better, too." Zhao Xu continued, "It is said that the eighteen changes of the women's college are really good." ”

Xianghua smiled shyly.

Zhao Xu helped Xianghua put the bag away, and asked casually: "I heard that the former Weiping is here?" ”

"Hmm." Xianghua recalled, "I met him in the town, and he said that he liked to eat, so he had to come along. ”

"I'm afraid eating isn't the most important thing."

Xianghua was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Zhao Xu didn't know about the festival of taro and Weiping.

Zhao Xu looked at Donglin and Xiangmiao who were playing ball outside, and said slowly: "It is very likely that he is coming for me." ”

Xianghua thought seriously for a moment, "He did ask me how I met you." Is he your friend? ”

Zhao Xu smiled: "It's not a friend, it's not an enemy. I was negligent, I didn't expect him to come to your house. ”

"The little prince only ate a few times with us, and didn't do anything else."

Zhao Xu nodded, "I hope I'm thinking too much." If he doesn't come again, it's all right. ”

Xianghua thought, although Qingshan Village has beautiful scenery, but the mountains and rivers are far away, and it is bumpy, so Weiping will not come again.

"What kind of person is the little prince?" She thought for a moment and asked carefully.

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "I don't know what kind of person he is, but my brother asked me to have less contact with him." ”

Xianghua felt that the last time they got along, Wei Ping didn't seem to have anything else except for being a little picky.

"Then what do you mean when you say he's coming for you?" Her eyes flashed, "He had an unpleasant affair with you?" ”

According to Zhao Wu's instructions, there are some things that Zhao Xu cannot tell outsiders. But since Weiping has found this place, he should tell the Xianghua family what he should say.

Zhao Xu's face was serious, and he talked about the current situation in the capital and the Huns this time.

After listening carefully, Xianghua knew what was going on.

"The emperor is not in good health, he can choose a prince from among his children, why do you have to choose from several princes?"

Zhao Xu said: "The emperor is a benevolent and righteous king, and there are several princes under his knees, but there are no premature deaths and accidents. The older princesses are married far away, and the current little princess is only five years old. ”

Xianghua has also read a lot of novels and TV series before, and knows that Gong Dou is powerful, and there is a chance that someone will make trouble at such a point that the emperor's heir is withering, and this person may have already tilted the power of the government and the opposition, and even the emperor is helpless.

"I heard that Wei Ping's father is the king of Zhongshun, does he include him in the selection of the crown prince?"

Zhao Xu nodded.

"The princes who are alive today, in addition to going to other places to live peacefully, the most powerful people in the capital are the two princes, one is the loyal Wang Weiqi, and the other is the righteous Wang Weicheng."

When Xianghua heard this, she could vaguely guess: "What do you mean...... Wei Ping wants to win you and your father through our family? ”
