I held a bowl of laba porridge hot in my hand, and suddenly remembered my previous days in the palace.

Laba Congee ......

When I was a child, every year during the Laba Festival, Kunning Palace would prepare enough Laba porridge. Not only the master, but even the rough eunuchs and palace maids will get a bowl.

At that time, the queen mother said that spending time in the palace was very dangerous every day. At the end of the year, I don't know how many knives I have to suffer. finally survived until the end of another year, and I had to drink a bowl of porridge to suppress the shock. First, I am glad that I am still alive and waiting for the next year, and secondly, I hope that I will have enough food and clothing, health and safety in the coming year.

In fact, I know that the meaning of eating Laba porridge on Laba Festival is not like this. But for the queen mother, for those who live in the Forbidden City, the queen mother's statement is more appropriate.

I still remember that although the queen mother is the mother of a country. But Laba porridge has always been made by herself.

Over the years, from stiff beans to sweet porridge, the queen mother's cooking skills have been growing. And Yi'er and I, as well as Brother Yan, no matter how we eat, we always don't get tired of eating.

The last time I ate Laba porridge from the queen mother was many years ago. But even so, the mother's craftsmanship has always been engraved in my bones.

Oh, if you can eat Laba porridge again in your lifetime, you will have no regrets.

It's just that when I was arranged by my father to fake my death, I missed the opportunity to eat my mother's laba porridge. It's doomed, you won't be able to eat it again in this life, right?

Yes, the day I fainted from poisoning happened to be Laba Festival.

That day, I was handling government affairs for my father, and my mother got up early to make porridge. I calculated the time to return to the palace, but I didn't expect to pass out in the imperial garden.

When I woke up again, I was in Uncle Russell's secret room. When I saw my mother again, I was in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. And I saw my father again...... But it is......

Thinking of this, a big man actually shed tears.

Father Shen looked at it, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, "What's wrong, He'er?" Is it that Daddy's Laba porridge is not delicious? ”

After that, he asked, "Is it sweet or not sweet enough?" Or Daddy will redo ...... for you."

"Dad, this porridge is so good." I gritted my teeth and smiled at Daddy Shen, "It's just that I haven't drunk Laba porridge for many years, and now that I can drink Laba porridge again, I suddenly think of my father." ”

"Alas," Father Shen couldn't help but sigh when he heard me say this, "Yes, Laba Festival is a day of reunion." No wonder you think of them at this time......"

I listened to Daddy Shen's slightly sour tone, a little melancholy, so I hurriedly said, "Dad, don't get me wrong, although I think about them, I also know that I can't go back." Now that I have your father by my side, my life is simple and happy, and my son feels very satisfied. ”

After that, I lowered my head and explained, "It's just that every year on the Laba Festival, my mother would personally cook Laba porridge and distribute it." At first, my mother's craftsmanship was not good. I heard that at that time, her laba porridge was not bad at all, it was very hard.

Everyone in the house was afraid of her, and it was extremely painful to chew the hard beans in their mouths, but they had to coax her, saying that they were fragrant and glutinous.

The first time I drank my mother's laba porridge, I was only two years old. I didn't understand anything, and I didn't think it was delicious, so I moved the bowl aside and told my mother the truth.

My mother is a very smart woman, and she naturally knows whether the porridge she makes is good or not. It's just that seeing everyone hiding from her and going around with her, she doesn't want to break it. But later, because of my childlike words. Mother is right to the people in the house, so many big people, even a two-year-old child is not as good as a two-year-old child, damn it.

So, the people who said that Niang Laba porridge was delicious up and down the house were more or less hit a few boards. Since then, no one dares to frame my mother at will. And my mother's laba porridge is also getting better and better.

By the time I was five or six years old, my mother's laba porridge was really fragrant and glutinous. Even my dad drank it and was full of praise. ”

Recalling this, I took a sip of Laba porridge before continuing, "The Laba porridge made by my father tastes very similar to the Laba porridge that my mother used to boil. This fragrant and glutinous smell is very familiar, and if I am not careful, it reminds me of the past......"

"Good boy" Father Shen listened to my words and was extremely moved, "No wonder every year when it comes to Laba Festival, you always say that you want to drink Laba porridge, it turns out that this is the reason." It's just that Daddy is incompetent, and he won't let you drink it until this year. ”

After that, in order to resolve this subtlety, Dad Shen laughed and said, "But ah, this is the first time Dad has boiled eight porridge." It shows that my father is more talented than your mother in cooking! ”

When I heard this, I burst into tears and laughed, "Dad, you can stop me." You went to Grandma early this morning to learn the scriptures, and I didn't know it. ”

Seeing that I didn't hesitate to demolish him, Dad Shen touched his nose embarrassedly, "You kid, you really don't have any face for your father!" ”

……

Soon, the Chinese New Year's Eve came.

Dad Shen cooked by himself, roasted a sea fish taken from the ice during the day, went to Grandma's house to catch an old hen to stew soup, fried a plate of shredded potatoes, and took out rice wine for the first time.

On the small wooden table, there are a lot of dishes.

"Come, have a few drinks with Daddy!"

"Good!"

I've never been a drinker, and for me, drinking is a relief from my sorrows, but it can also add to my sorrows. Since I was a child, I have been accustomed to seeing the queen mother drink alone, and those mellow wines will be drunk one by one, and then turn into tears.

So in the past, no matter how festive the day, I would just have a polite drink and never touch anything that made me drunk and die again.

But today, seeing that Daddy Shen was so happy, I didn't know how to refuse.

I've been here for three years, and it's the first time I've seen Daddy Shen drinking. I can't bear it...... Defeated his interest.

So, Dad Shen and I ate side dishes and drank wine at the same time, so unhappy.

It's just that...... I thought that I rarely drank alcohol, and the amount of alcohol was poor, and I would be fainted by Daddy Shen. But who knows, Daddy Shen's alcohol consumption is not as good as mine.

After just a few cups, Shen's father was drunk into a puddle of mud.

Fortunately, I used to practice martial arts, otherwise no matter how thin Dad Shen was, I wouldn't be able to move him.

I covered Shen's father with a quilt and listened to his snoring sound higher than one voice. I thought that this might be a good opportunity!

So, he cleaned up the things on the table, waited for a while, and found that Father Shen was indeed drunk and unconscious, so he sneaked out of the door.

……

Heavy snow was falling, and the island was particularly cold at night. Even though I had internal strength to protect myself and drank some rice wine, I still felt cold and cold.

Because I couldn't see the cold and warm figures, I had to walk back and forth on the island by myself in the snow. With every step I take, I hope that she will suddenly appear behind me and playfully call me a crane.

However, I walked around the small island several times for two hours. The accumulated snow on the island was full of my deep and shallow difficulties, but the sound of cold and warm never sounded.

Seeing that the sky was white, I had to turn back into the house.

Fortunately, Dad Shen was drunk, so he didn't notice anything unusual.

In the next few days, there will be leftover good dishes and the joy of the New Year. Every night, I would always persuade Dad Shen to drink a few glasses, saying that when the weather is cold, you should warm up.

Daddy Shen smiled and pointed at me, "I've never seen you drink before, but now I can't stop at all!" Why, do you know that wine is a delicious thing? ”

I smiled embarrassedly, "Dad, isn't this making fun of my son?" ”

"That'...... It's just that you find out that your father's alcohol is not good, and you want to see your father's jokes. ”

"Dad, in fact, my son doesn't drink well, but he gets drunk later than you. Every time you get drunk, I'm so confused. I finally packed up my things, but I couldn't move. ”

After that, he said nonsense, "But don't say it, I used to sleep unsteadily, and I always dreamed." But since I had wine, I can't wake up until dawn. You're right! This wine is a good thing. ”

"Hahaha...... You stinky boy! ”

……

In this way, every night at night, as long as I get Daddy Shen drunk, I will sneak out of the door and walk around the island again and again. I hope I can wait until I am warm and cold, even if I can't see her, just listen to her voice.

However, for half a month, it was to no avail.

……

Today, it's the Lantern Festival.

As long as the Lantern Festival is over, the year will be over. And the rice wine at home has also bottomed out.

I know that if I don't see Leng Nuan after tonight, it will be extremely difficult to go out to see her again in the future. Even if there is still a chance, I have to wait for Daddy Shen to slowly relax his discipline on me.

I still walked around the island in circles, and I finally understood the struggle and entanglement between my father and mother. I finally understood why the queen mother smiled like a flower during the day, but at night, she was always secretly wiping her tears alone.

It turns out that this is how it feels to have a person living in my heart.

It's as if it's your own territory, but it's been seized by others for no reason. She is arrogant and wild on your territory, and you can't get rid of her, and you can't convince her to be obedient.

She always comes and goes when she wants to, a word, a laugh, a look, as long as it appears in your mind, you will never go away.

Acacia, bitter.

Love is not possible, and it is more bitter.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in the quiet of the night.

Only this time, there is no playfulness in the past. Instead, there was a little more melancholy in the words.

I stopped and didn't look back, but the corners of my mouth had already risen unconsciously, "You're here." ”

"Didn't you stop coming out at night, why didn't you listen?" A gust of wind blew, and cold and warm slowly appeared in front of my eyes, "What happened to make you so unthinkable?" He came out at night for half a month. Are you really not afraid of death, or do you think your luck can always be so good? ”

Tonight, Leng Nuan was dressed in a long red dress, and her three thousand strands of hair were scattered, covering her half of her face for fear of being seen by me.

In the white snow, delicate. She looks very playful. Even though she exudes a yin aura all over her body, she still can't take my eyes off.

"Why don't you show up, knowing that I come out every night?" In my opinion, the question of warmth and coldness is pointless. So, simply don't answer the rhetorical question.

"I'm afraid that the New Year will scare you, so I hid." Leng Nuan shrugged his shoulders and sat cross-legged on the ground.

The bright red skirt spread out in the snow, like a rose that bloomed against the sky......

I sat down across from her, only three steps away from her, "Today is the Lantern Festival, and the New Year is not over yet." What, aren't you afraid to scare me? ”

"Anyway, you have also accompanied me to relieve my boredom, and I can't bear to see you like this who doesn't know whether to live or die." Leng Nuan didn't think about it, and raised his chin in response.

"If I continue like this, will you eat me?" I don't know why, as long as I see her, my mood is very cheerful" or...... Will throw me into the sea to feed your little one. Pet. Thing. ”

Leng Nuan was speechless by my question, so he moved his head to the side and did not speak.

When I saw her like this, I couldn't help but joke, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot it." You said you wouldn't eat me, and you still want me to be your husband and have a baby monkey with you. ”

When Leng Nuan heard this, a flush suddenly appeared on his originally fair face, "Coward, you are old and come out like this, aren't you afraid of your father?" Doesn't he have a habit of urinating every day......"

Good guys, it's quite vindictive.

"I'm afraid," I thought about it, and said with a smile, "but his old man is happy for the New Year, and he gets drunk every day, which happens to give me a chance." ”

"Hey" Leng Nuan saw me smiling, and gradually let go a lot, "You have to be obedient, you know?" Don't go out at night in the future, lest it be easy to get into trouble. ”

After that, she scared me again, "Even if I don't eat you, other water ghosts will eat you." You didn't say I'm only eight. Nine years old, I'm so young, if I meet a big water ghost, I can't save you. ”

I looked into her cunning eyes and knew her mind without much thought. So, I simply took this opportunity to say, "It's easy to have an accident, and there's no way!" If I don't come out at night, my daughter-in-law won't see me. ”

"Your daughter-in-law ????" Leng Nuan was stunned for a moment, looking left and right, "Where is it!" ”

I lifted my chin, "You're not?" ”

"Me?" Leng Nuan pointed at himself incredulously, "Huh? ”

Scold......

That stupid and stupid look, in front of people who can't put it down, "It's not you?" ”

"When will I become your daughter-in-law?" Leng Nuan's face was as red as an apple, but his mouth was very hard.

"Didn't you say you wanted to marry me and let me be your husband? Not only can it relieve your boredom, but it can also give birth to baby monkeys. "I laughed," he added...... You have to make do with me. ”

"Whew!" Leng Nuan glared at me, "Who said I was going to marry you?" I'm talking about marrying you! Marrying, marrying, it's very different. ”

"Hmm...... If only you remember. I looked at her and laughed.

It wasn't until I heard my words that I knew that I was deliberately wrong, but it was just for the sake of clichés. So, he gritted his teeth and said to me, "I...... I'm kidding you! ”

"Marriage is a big event, how can it be used as a joke? I'm sorry, but I took it seriously. If you don't mind, let's make do with it. ”
