Cui Jinzhang admired it even more, and said to Pei Yuxue: "There are countless difficulties in the world, and people have never been taught to kneel, and they have to adapt to the times. Lang Jun went against the current, such a heart is very common to people, and it is no wonder that he can enlighten the third sister. ”

Pei Yuxue said: "That dagger is not ......"

Both of them looked at him intently and very seriously.

“…… It's self-defense. He had four eyes on his head, and his gaze was blazing, so he had to go down, but then added, "It's not to prevent you." ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "It's really not to prevent me now. Pei Lang and I already have a confidant relationship, if it weren't for his steadfastness that moved me, allowing me to examine the past and change the past, there would be no Xue Sanniang today. ”

Cui Jinzhang said: "I see, it's ......"

"The Pei family didn't treat him well, and I really needed someone I could trust to take care of the backyard, so I didn't let him go." Xue Yuxiao explained, "I also ask Qilang to keep this secret." ”

Cui Jinzhang understood the ins and outs, nodded and said: "The two are affectionate and friendly, and they are more noble than the ordinary love of fish and water in the world. I'm going to keep my mouth shut. ”

Xue Yuxiao was relieved at this time, and gently poked Pei Yuxue with his arm, and handed over a look - "It's done."

Pei Lang didn't look at her, only pinched her fingers under the table and between the hidden sleeves of the robe, and secretly vented his dissatisfaction as if grinding a red mark on the back of Xue Yuxiao's hand.

You're noble, but what about me?

Xue Yuxiao didn't know what he was thinking, the back of his hand was rubbed red, and he said in his heart, why was he not even satisfied with saying this? Could this story be more elaborate...... Besides, she didn't make it up, isn't that the truth?

The two met their eyes for a moment, and then quickly separated, playing the image of "noble friends".

At this moment, it was late at night, Cui Jinzhang packed up the medicine box and was about to say goodbye, but when he received half of the action, he suddenly paused, as if he remembered something: "Third sister, I have a reluctant request, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Xue Yuxiao responded: "Okay." ”

She stood up, grabbed a handful of Pei Yuxue's fingers that she was rubbing secretly, shook it, turned around and whispered: "It's windy under the corridor, don't run out to accompany you, be careful of getting cold, I'll go back when I go." ”

Pei Yuxue sighed: "I know, it must be something I can't listen to." We're all so clear and selfless, what else can't I listen to? ”

When Cui Jinzhang heard this, his cheeks flushed slightly and explained: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to say that, it's not a big deal...... Third sister, there are several medical centers in Jingzhao that have always been funded by me, but a while ago, there were thieves with me, the medical hall was diagnosed and treated at a low price, and I lost a lot, I am a man, and I am determined not to marry, there is no private property in the family, I am afraid that these medical centers will close down again, and the people will have no place to see a doctor......"

"Most of the medical centers and wards in Beijing are expensive." Xue Yuxiao said, "The homes of ordinary people, where can they withstand a serious illness." There are still free clinics under my name, and the amount of money spent on medicinal materials is not small, and it is a very difficult thing to subsidize the medical center. ”

"So I ......," Cui Jinzhang said here, a little embarrassed, "I want to borrow a little money to turn around." ”

Xue Yuxiao had already guessed his request: "Don't worry, I will help." ”

When Pei Yuxue heard this kind of thing, she felt that she was too sensitive...... Why has she been by her side for a long time, and as long as she sees a man talking to her in private, she is so suspicious? He felt guilty inexplicably, and just wanted to apologize, when he saw Cui Jinzhang very happily pounced over and hugged her, grabbed Xue Yuxiao's hand and said, "Third sister, I know that you are a good person, and you will definitely help me." ”

Pei Yingxue: "......"

It's not my fault that I'm suspicious.

Xue Yuxiao was hit by him, staggered back half a step, and was almost pounced on the wound. She raised her hand to protect her chest, and the other hand held Shichiro's arm, and said, "Why don't you tell your sister about this kind of thing?" Could it be that Cui Mingzhu will ignore you? ”

Cui Jinzhang said: "My sister needs to attend famous banquets, buy fine wine and famous horses, and socialize, she is very free and easy, don't worry about me." I chose my own path, how can I let my family pay for my ideas? I don't want her to be worried about my expenses and delay her marriage. ”

Speaking of this, he quickly added: "I will return the money to you, my consultation fee is very expensive." Third sister, I can be your doctor, come over every day to ask you for peace pulse, boil medicine for you, and I can also cook for you......"

Pei Yingxue silently clasped the edge of the table with her hand, her Adam's apple moved slightly, and this sentence was heard in her ears, with "Pei Yuxue, your wife is mine now!" It doesn't seem to make a difference.

Xue Yuxiao was physically strong, and he didn't even pay attention to this external injury, let alone what kind of peace pulse it was. She said: "I don't have to, it's just that Pei Lang was born with a stubborn disease, and you should know the situation if you check the pulse for him." If Shichiro is free, let's come and see him more. ”

Cui Jinzhang thought for a moment. Although he has excellent medical skills, he has no clue about this strange disease that has almost no roots, and Pei Yuxue is currently asymptomatic, so he can only focus on warm and nourishing: "Okay, I know." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Pei Yuxue, and the two looked at each other...... This Lang Jun is elegant and lonely, born with ice sculptures and snow sculptures, as if he does not eat fireworks, but for some reason, Cui Jinzhang has a very subtle feeling about his gaze, he subconsciously avoids it, and always feels that there is some kind of competition between the two that he has not yet understood and tasted.

It's invisible, but it's there.

In order to break this chilling atmosphere, Cui Jinzhang proposed: "Toss in the middle of the night, are you hungry, I'll make you some supper!" ”

Xue Yuxiao was about to refuse, when he suddenly heard a faint cry in his belly, and he laughed in his heart: "Obviously I'm hungry, but I still have to pretend to ask me." She sympathized with Xiao Langjun's face, and instead agreed, "There is Lao Qilang." ”

Cui Jinzhang was allowed, his eyes lit up, he turned around and went out to the kitchen, he took two steps, and then fell back, his head popping out of the door frame: "Your house is too big, where is the kitchen?" ”

Xue Yuxiao smiled: "You went the other way." ”

Cui Jinzhang let out an "oh", retreated and went in the opposite direction, and heard Xue Yuxiao's unhurried voice from a distance.

"Go straight and turn to the right, and when you see the red plum forest, ...... to the east."

He stood there and looked at her with the eyes of a lost puppy: "The road is so hard to find, do you really want to starve yourself to death?" ”

Xue Yuxiao got up and said, "I'll take you there." ”

Pei Yuxue also stood up: "I also want to learn." ”

The scholar Langjun does not learn to cook, and takes care of the internal curtains every day, calculates the accounts, and supports the chores of a large family of hundreds of people, which is enough to work and consume mental energy...... Pei Yuxue can't wait to break it in half alone, he still has to learn to cook?

Xue Yuxiao was stunned, took his hand and led Cui Qi to the way, Pei Yuxue insisted on coming over, she had to tie his cloak so as not to catch a cold, and asked on the road: "Are you busy?" ”

Pei Yuxue said calmly: "In case you eat anything from the delicious dishes, you are full of affection and lovesickness." ”

Xue Yuxiao was slightly stunned: "What kind of dish is so high-end?" ”

Pei Yuxue sighed softly, and then smiled helplessly: "Sometimes even I can't bear the courteous methods outside, if I am a woman, I may not be able to withstand such sweet words and tenderness, but seeing that you are still an elm head who does not understand the amorous feelings, I am also relieved." ”

Xue Yuxiao: "...... You were complimenting, but I could hear you sighing. How do I not know where there are sweet words, where there is tenderness? ”

His gaze turned to the front, staring only at the path illuminated by the squire carrying the lantern. The cloister was a moonlit field, surrounded by snow, reflecting a clear and silent light in the dark night.

He said, "You are worried about my illness, and I am very ...... Thank you. ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "You work hard for me, I naturally want to be good to you." ”

Pei Yuxue stopped talking. In fact, he didn't need a light under the moonlight, his hands were even colder because of the wind of the autumn night, and then he was immediately clenched by Xue Yuxiao, and it seemed that there was still this sometimes quiet and sometimes flustered heart in his chest.

After walking to the kitchen after a while, Xue Yuxiao did not call anyone, but lit the candle himself. The cooks are asleep, the materials in the room are neatly arranged, and the kitchenware is clean.

Cui Jinzhang only has two hobbies in his life: medicine and cooking, and it was the first time he entered the kitchen of a wealthy family - the Cui family did not allow him to cook with a big family, which was something that the waiter studied all day long. This time it was rare to have a chance in Xue Yuan, so he plunged in, rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, and asked the two of them what they wanted to eat with bright eyes.

Pei Yuxue walked over to help and said, "I'm not hungry." ”

The book once described Cui Qilang's cooking skills as unparalleled in the world, and Xue Yuxiao wanted to see it: "It's okay, I'm not a picky eater." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them suddenly looked over together, glanced Xue Yuxiao up and down, and then withdrew their gaze, and they all didn't believe it.

"This sentence is lying to you." Pei Yuxue said, "She picked it." ”

"I can see it." Cui Jinzhang said, "Brocade clothes and jade food are raised, and the taste is understandable. ”

Xue Yuxiao sat on the low stool in the kitchen, and she said, "Can you be quiet, I can hear it." ”

So Pei Yuxue whispered: "You can cook a meal for her, forget it, she will eat the food I cook in the future to hone her picky eater, and if she feeds her too well, she won't eat the food I cook." ”

Pei Lang spoke sincerely, and Cui Jinzhang also promised again and again: "Picky eating is not good for the body, it is better to eat a balanced diet." ”

Xue Yuxiao: "......" doesn't avoid saying bad things about me?

Cui Jinzhang had a pious admiration for the stove, and soon lit a fire, he blanched the lettuce in boiling water, washed and shredded several kinds of health ingredients such as chicken, tangerine peel, and then skillfully cut open the perch, scraped the scales and bones, and the shredded fish submerged into the melted lard, and turned white.

It's a set of moves that are almost a little dazzling. The shredded fish enters the boiling water, and a little oil splash floats up, accompanied by fresh seasonings and well-cooked lettuce...... A rich aroma rises from the soup, as if every wisp of mist carries the raw sweetness of the food.

Sea bass and lettuce soup. This is the famous dish in Wuzhong in the Book of Jin. It is also the season when the autumn wind suddenly rises, and the history of the Jin people is written that they resolutely resigned and returned to their hometown because of the thought of mushrooms, ulva soup, and sea bass, and also gave birth to the allusion of "the thought of the perch".

Every time at this moment, Xue Yuxiao will suddenly feel the dust and elegance of the Jin people in the midst of the chaos and complexity.

Cui Jinzhang made the perch and vegetable soup, and first rolled up his sleeves and served a bowl to Xue Yuxiao diligently - this is the master of the fund who supports him to fund the medical center, and he can't wait slowly. Xue Yuxiao stretched out his hand to take it and thanked him, and the three of them just nested at the kitchen door, sitting on the edge of the low stool and the small wooden table, and drank a bowl of soup together.

The hot, delicious and sweet soup entered the stomach, and Xue Yuxiao's whole body warmed up a little.

The three of them just got together and discussed people's livelihood while eating...... From Cui Jinzhang's very nervous supply of medicinal materials, to grain production, to how sweet the lettuce is this autumn and how tender the fish is...... It also said that the autumn wind outside the Saiwai was tight, and the people of several states and counties who were worried about falling into the hands of Xianbei, do they still remember the dishes of their hometown?

The mountains and rivers are broken, and the lonely wind is fluttering.

Late at night, the sound of a watch rang out outside the park.

Cui Jinzhang got up and said goodbye. He stayed in Xue Yuan very happily, forgot the time for a while, and did not forget to repeat before leaving: "I will remember to come to check Pei Langjun's pulse." ”

Pei Yuxue disappeared without a trace of his mustard, and in the face of such sincere care, he could only treat him with kindness, and nothing else, so he looked at Cui Qilang and bowed his head.

Xue Yuxiao sent someone to escort the seventh prince back, looking at his back and walking away, she suddenly asked, "Your hands are cold, you should go back early." ”

Pei Yuxue turned to look at her, leaned over, and suddenly got very close, Xue Yuxiao's breath stagnated, looking at his suddenly enlarged handsome eyebrows, feeling his fingers across his cheeks, brushing a strand of untidy green silk from the side cheek to the temples, pinning it behind the ear.

The hair floats, revealing a different kind of tenderness.

He said softly, "...... You look at me like this, it's too lingering, what should I do if I misunderstand? ”

Xue Yuxiao was robbed of his lines and was speechless, and then saw Pei Yuxue turn around as if nothing had happened, and said, "Go back to sleep." ”

……

The military government obtained evidence of the looting of the population, and obtained the news of the chaos in Ningzhou and the rampant bandits. General Xiao Miaoxiao, General Huan Cheng Fenghuan, as well as Xue Sikong and Wang Chengxiang...... and other important ministers, please write a joint letter.

The emperor was under heavy pressure from the scholars, and even if he was unwilling to consume the money of the household in order to suppress the bandits, Xie Fu had to allow it overnight, and ordered the "Huan Army" in Fuzhou and the "Western Army" of the Xiao clan to send a part of the sergeants to suppress the bandits.

This is a very well-thought-out plan. First of all, it is very important to protect the Sixteen Guards of Jingzhao, to protect the imperial family and ensure the safety of the capital, which cannot be easily dispatched, and once he leaves, the emperor's sense of security will drop sharply. Secondly, the "Western Army" and the "Huan Army" did not deal with each other, which could not only ensure that both families participated, but she did not favor any one, and also prevented the reputation of a certain general from overgrowing among the people and threatening the status of the imperial family.

Everyone was satisfied with her decision-making, so the two generals Xiao and Huan asked for orders to go in person, and they would leave Jingzhao in a few days, and the two of them were not there, and the biggest military general in the Wei Mansion was the Du Lieutenant - of course, the military government was not only Xue Yuxiao, and in terms of seniority, she was just a newcomer.

The two have their own close deployments and staff, and the military government is still stable.

A few days after the two generals left Jingzhao, the construction of the Great Bodhi Temple built by Xue Sikong was finally completed.

The number of believers in Buddhism is increasing day by day, and the emperor specially allocated funds to build the Great Bodhi Temple as the national temple, which is designed on a very large scale and cost a lot of money. On the day of completion, Xie Fu would bring members of the royal family to cut the ribbon at the temple in person.

This is the custom of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and whenever a building is completed, the local dignitaries are asked to cut the ribbon covering the plaque as a celebration and blessing. Is there a greater figure than the emperor in the capital? So everyone gathered in the Great Bodhi Temple, civil and military officials, scholars and heroes, all vying to be the first to watch.

Xue Yuxiao was not with the people of the military government, but sat in his mother's carriage. Everyone arrived first, and in the gap waiting for the emperor to come in person, Xue Sikong took good care of his baby daughter and confirmed that her external injuries were healed and she was alive and kicking, and finally felt at ease.

“…… No more risky moves. This is the second time Xue Zeshu has instructed her.

Xue Yuxiao nodded yes, looking well-behaved. But the calmness revealed in her eyes was still seen through by her mother, Xue Zeshu was worried about being angry and helpless, so she reached out and pinched her daughter's white and tender cheeks, rubbing them into a reddish look: "Even if I can't do anything about you, I still have to find you a virtuous and virtuous gentleman who speaks weightily, and will assist you well and hold you hostage." ”

Xue Yuxiao was pinched so that her face was swollen: "Mother, spare my life, I will get out of the car to write an inscription in a while, so as to save some face for my daughter." ”

Xue Zeshu let go of her hand, touched her head, and said, "It's not an exaggeration to say that you can move the capital with fame, there is only about one person present who can compare, and that is ......."

Before the words fell, the palace attendant suddenly heard the elongated tone of the announcement.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

Everyone got out of the car and stood still, and bowed when they saw the emperor. Xie Fu wore a dark color regular clothes, and the clothes were embroidered with golden dragons and phoenixes. She wears a small crown of pale gold inlaid with pearls, with steps, tassels, and pearl spikes inserted on it, which is extraordinary. Behind Xie Fu was none other than Fengjun Xue Minghuai, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time.

Xue Minghuai was dressed solemnly, with cold eyebrows and cold eyes, even if his demeanor was as graceful as jade, it made people feel that this was a piece of cold jade with cold tentacles, which could only be viewed from a distance and could not be played with.

Xie Fu raised his hand to pick him up, but Xue Minghuai didn't grab her arm and get out of the car, only whispered, "Be careful with etiquette, you don't have to be like this", and followed Xie Fu silently, slightly half a step behind her according to the rules.

His Majesty and Feng Jun entered the temple, and the hundred officials followed. The inside is wide and broad, beautiful, the dome is all mortise and tenon design, embedded with each other, no nail is used, the layers of color drawings above extend outward with the dougong, there are murals such as "five fun wheels of life and death", "hell change", "leading the way bodhisattva map" and so on.

The plaque of the Great Bodhi Temple is covered with red satin, and next to it, a ceremonial official hands a pair of scissors with gold thread. Xie Fu took the scissors, and with the tune played by the musician with the dong flute, she cut the red silk one by one, and the satin slipped off to the sides, revealing the four characters "Da Bodhi Temple" written by her imperial pen.
