Precious osmanthus stuffed
Lanterns were hung by the windows at the door of Zhao's house, and candles were lit in various houses, and the candlelight flickered everywhere, illuminating Zhao's house as bright as day.
The crowd sat around a round table in the main room of the outer courtyard.
This is the first time in many days that everyone in the Zhao family has sat around the dining table to eat seriously, and everyone has a smile on their faces, happier than the New Year.
Yun Bi and Aunt Zhuo were busy in the kitchen, making a table full of meat, fish, and vegetables.
The smell wafted throughout the house.
Zhao Yufeng pulled Yun Bi to sit at the table together.
On early summer nights, the wind blows through the yard, bringing with it the chirping of insects and the scent of flowers.
Zhao Zhufei was silent and ate silently.
The candlelight attracted moths to the fire, and the house was incomplete, and the windows had not yet been screened, and no moths pounced in front of everyone.
Zhao Zhufei raised his chopsticks and knocked down several moths.
Zhao Sichen and Guo Anyang quarreled from time to time, and the two of them put large pieces of meat and grabbed small whitebait to eat.
Wei Qianlang and Zhao Yufeng ate quietly, smiling at Zhao Sichen and Guo Anyang arguing.
Yunbi smiled and served vegetables for everyone.
A lively meal.
Wei Qianlang's heart was crispy and numb, and he felt warm.
It turns out that ordinary people eat so lively and warm.
He had never had an experience like this.
From childhood to adulthood, Wei Qianlang mostly participated in other people's banquets.
They are all places that seem to be lively, but they are actually philistine.
Everyone wears masks and eats, drinks and has fun together.
Where is it to eat together, but it's just to socialize.
Or accompany the saint and the ladies to dine in the palace, and eat a few bites to cushion the stomach.
If you meet the saints and the ladies who are in a bad mood, or inspect their homework, they can't eat a bite.
If you think about it, what really deserves the three words of home-cooked meals is that he eats alone.
This kind of homely warmth of a lively family is something he has never tried.
Wei Qianlang's speed of picking up vegetables and rice gradually slowed down.
There was a faint hope in his heart that the meal would be eaten more slowly.
Let him feel the warmth more.
Yun Bi saw it, silently picked up the chopsticks, and sandwiched a piece of fat and thin Dongpo meat into Wei Qianlang's bowl.
Seeing Wei Qianlang looking over, Yun Bi said softly: "You are still growing tall, eat more meat." ”
Wei Qianlang sincerely thanked: "Thank you, Sister Yunbi." ”
Zhao Sichen: "Sister Yunbi, you only care about sandwiching meat for others now, and you don't hurt me anymore." ”
Yun Bi scolded with a smile: "It's your mouth." ”
……
……
After a meal, Wei Qianlang let the little guy come in.
The honest little guy, holding a fine carved sandalwood with both hands, his body is straight, he walks carefully step by step, and he does not dare to shake his body at will.
Wei Qianlang reached out and opened the lid of the sandalwood box.
A thick stack of silver tickets sat inside the wooden box, almost overflowing.
What's even more eye-catching is that on the silver ticket, there is a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg.
Wei Qianlang picked up the Night Pearl, as if he didn't realize the cherishment of the Night Pearl, and handed it to Zhao Yufeng casually: "Yufeng, let's play with this bead."
If you read at night, you can put this night pearl in the study, which can add a little brightness and is good for the eyes. ”
Zhao Yufeng had short hands and short feet, like a small ball, jumped down from the chair, stretched out his hands to take the night pearl, and bowed down to thank Wei Qianlang: "Yufeng thanked Brother Wei." ”
This night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg was given by the saint when Wei Qianlang was 10 years old, when he left the Wei Imperial Palace and became independent, and established the Three Princes' Mansion.
At present, there are only dozens of night pearls in the world, not to mention priceless, but they are also rare in the world.
Not to mention anything else, it must be enough to buy these three-entry houses.
Ordinary rich people, when they see this pearl of the night, they are afraid that their eyes will be straight.
However, everyone present looked at it with a calm expression, as if it was just a child's thing.
Even Yun Bi, who was dressed as a maidservant, was eating wholeheartedly, without raising her eyes, and she didn't even give one more look.
Only Zhao Yufeng felt that this bead was round and cute, warm and cold in his hand, and he looked at it over and over again in his hand, and he couldn't put it down.
Zhao Yufeng was overjoyed, but he didn't have many toys since he was a child, and he just regarded this night pearl as a new thing.
Wei Qianlang saw that everyone looked as usual, but he didn't expect that although everyone in the Zhao family lived a frugal life and coarse linen clothes, they were not keen on wealth and nobility.
From Wu to Wei before, Wei Qianlang and the Zhao family walked all the way, and he had already guessed in his heart that the Zhao family was not an ordinary family.
They are strong in martial arts, and each of them has a lot of skills, so it is normal to think about disdain wealth.
Thinking about it like this, Wei Qianlang felt that the silver ticket in the box was very eye-catching.
Wei Qianlang brought a hint of apology: "I'm ashamed, Miss Zhao shouldn't look down on these blockages, but she had promised to give Miss Zhao a thank you gift of 20,000 taels of silver, so in order to keep her promise, she had to bring it ......over."
Zhao Sichen smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and said happily: "You can see it, you can see it!" I like gold and silver the most! It's just such a heavy ceremony, how embarrassing, how embarrassing! ”
Zhao Sichen said the words of resignation in his mouth, and quickly reached out to take the silver ticket.
Regardless of Wei Qianlang's presence, he began to count the money.
Wei Qianlang: He was wrong, not everyone in this family treats money like dung.
There is still a little girl who loves money.
However, compared with the indifference of others, the appearance of this little girl who loves money counting money looks more smart and cute.
The corners of Wei Qianlang's mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes were full of smiles when he looked at Zhao Sichen.
Wei Qianlang waited patiently for Zhao Sichen to count the money and solemnly stuffed it into his arms.
The originally flat chest bulged out a big bag-
Wei Qianlang smiled and shook his head.
With a small 20,000 taels of silver tickets, it is also worth cherishing carefully-
After a while, Wei Qianlang realized that he had been staring at the chest of the girl's family for a while.
With a rub, Wei Qianlang's face burned.
The candles that filled the room seemed to shine into Wei Qianlang's heart.
With a light cough, Wei Qianlang disguised his eyes and looked out of the door.
Seeing that the twilight outside the door was thick and the night breeze was gradually rising, Wei Qianlang got up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, don't dare to bother you more." I have to go back, too. ”
Zhao Yufeng and Yun Bi stood up to send each other, and Zhao Zhufei and Guo Anyang also gave each other a little.
Zhao Sichen said: "I'll send him." ”
He picked up two pots of osmanthus wine from the side and sent Wei Qianlang out.
Zhao Sichen and Wei Qianlang walked out of the hall together and walked through the courtyard.
While walking, Zhao Sichen asked, "I haven't had time to ask you today, did you come out of the palace today?" ”
Wei Qianlang said "um" and said, "After returning to Daqing City, I have been living in the palace. When I heard that you had arrived, I came out of the palace. ”
As soon as he got out of the palace, he didn't care about resting, went back to the house and changed his clothes, and immediately rushed to Zhao's house.
Zhao Sichen asked, "You...... What you are doing in the hands of Wu Guo, can you have a conclusion? ”
Wei Qianlang shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and said, "I don't know." ”
Zhao Sichen said: "It's okay, just get to Daqing City safely, and then take care of the rest." ”
The two of them walked as they spoke, and soon arrived at the gate.
Wei Qianlang raised his feet and walked out of the door, Zhao Sichen stood inside the door, handed the two pots of wine he was carrying in his hand to Wei Qianlang, and said, "The house is very messy, it is still being sorted out, and there are no gifts prepared."
I'm embarrassed to charge you so much money.
These two bottles of osmanthus brew should be my return gift. ”
The little guy on the side is very eye-catching, and when he takes a step forward, he will take two pots of wine.
Unexpectedly, Wei Qianlang took the first step and raised his hand to take the wine.
There was a lantern hanging at the door, and the dim light of the lantern sprinkled on Zhao Sichen's face, softening her facial features, and the childishness on her face seemed to be a little less, as if she was a few years older.
Wei Qianlang's heart was warm, as if he had already drunk a big sip of the two pots of wine in his hand.
Zhao Sichen smiled and nodded at Wei Qianlang.
Wei Qianlang said goodbye to Zhao Sichen, carried two pots of wine in his hands, and boarded the carriage.
"Tian Hongda, let's go!"
The little guy who was waiting on the side looked honest, and his name was also old, and he was called Tian Hongda.
Although Wei Qianlang did not let go, Tian Hongda thought that there was no gift to let the master take things by himself.
So, Tian Hongda followed Wei Qianlang and asked cautiously, "Little Third Master, I'll help you hold the bar." ”
Wei Qianlang waved his hand and said, "No, I'll just take it myself." ”
The little third master wants to carry it himself?
Could it be that this is a rare treasure?
The 20,000 taels of silver tickets and a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, the three princes were relieved to let him hold them in his hands, and waited in the alley for a long time.
Now these two pots of wine, but the master himself has to carefully protect them?
Tian Hongda sat on the edge of the carriage with a puzzled face, and kept thinking of the Three Princes' Mansion, but he didn't guess what kind of precious and extraordinary wine Zhao Sichen gave to Wei Qianlang.
The Three Princes' Mansion and Zhao Sichen's house were only two streets apart, and in a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the Three Princes' Mansion.
The inside and outside of the Three Princes' Mansion were brightly lit, and the housekeeper Xing Xiaozhi had already waited at the gate with all the slaves.
Seeing Wei Qianlang and his entourage coming, Xing Xiaozhi personally stepped forward and helped Wei Qianlang lift the curtain of the carriage.
Seeing Wei Qianlang, Xing Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Tian Hongda, the little servant who was waiting on the side.
Tian Hongda tried to keep his eyes open wide, making the innocent expression on his face more obvious.
Xing Xiaozhi gave Tian Hongda a look of "I'll find you later", turned his head to return to his original state, and greeted Wei Qianlang from the carriage with a smile.
Wei Qianlang handed the two pots of wine he was holding to Xing Xiaozhi and instructed, "Put this wine away." ”
Xing Xiaozhi hurriedly took it and walked forward behind Wei Qianlang.
Wei Qianlang took two steps, turned around, and instructed again: "Remember to receive it in the cellar, don't change the taste." ”
Xing Xiaozhi responded: "Yes, I will release it myself in a while." ”
Wei Qianlang nodded and went back to the room.
Xing Xiaozhi looked at the two pots of wine in his hand.
Looking left and right, it is just an ordinary osmanthus brewed flower sold by the old Liu family in the west of the city.
Lao Liu's osmanthus brew is very good, although it is famous, but it is not expensive.
A pot of wine is only a tael of silver.
He also likes to drink two glasses a day.
However, compared to the world's famous wine in the wine cellar -
