14 Chapter XIV

With Zhang Jiuling in the way, everything is as usual.

Tan Zhaozhao practiced sword, horseback, archery, and pitching every day, and she worked hard for the goal of going to Chang'an, not shouting tiredness or pain.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, Tan Zhaozhao is sweating like rain all day long, and the sun is darker than before, but the whole person is in good spirits, his face is radiant, and he exudes vitality.

After getting acquainted, Zhang Jiuling found that Tan Zhaozhao loved to laugh, and when she laughed, her face was radiant, and he could hardly take his eyes off it.

In order to avoid the Lu clan, they all went out from the side door, went to ride horses farther away, and returned home together at dusk.

The setting sun had just fallen into the clouds, leaving a field of fire in its wake.

The midsummer evening breeze was blowing, and the dragonflies tried to flap their wings in the wind and stop on the turquoise lotus leaves.

After the horse stopped, Zhang Jiuling dismounted and picked a few fresh lotus leaves.

The duckweed in the pond spread, and the frog was alarmed, jumping on another lotus leaf, panicked, very cute and childish.

Zhang Jiuling smiled, he only buried himself in reading before, and he didn't care about a leaf or a cloud around him.

When he and Tan Zhaozhao were out riding a horse, he would go to help her pick a bouquet of wildflowers and bring them back to the house to put in a vase.

The simple and empty room seems to come alive all at once.

Smelling the fresh aroma of lotus leaves, Zhang Jiuling saw that Tan Zhaozhao was looking at the pond for a moment, and as she looked, he asked, "What is Zhaozhao looking at?" ”

Tan Zhaozhao said with a smile: "Look at the lotus root, there is also the seed." ”

In addition to the herbs, fresh gourd can be used to boil porridge, or add small gnocchi and osmanthus to boil together. The weather was hot, and he was hung into the well to eat it cold, and Tan Zhaozhao was full of words when he thought of it.

Zhang Jiuling couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and laughed with her: "There should be tender lotus roots, I'll let Qianshan ask." If this year's fresh gourd comes out, I will immediately try it. ”

Tan Zhaozhao likes all kinds of fresh food, and eats with her every day, he is attracted by her good appetite, and unconsciously eats half a bowl more.

Zhang Jiuling used to study in the study, almost half a day, tired and lonely. When encountering rainy weather, or at dusk, I always feel depressed.

Since being with Tan Zhaozhao, she has moved more, and her diet has also followed her, eating more fish, shrimp, poultry, fresh vegetables and fruits.

Zhang Jiuling lost a little weight, but he felt that his body was light, far more energetic than before.

The days are full and interesting, and they get better together.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiuling's chest was bulging and swollen, and tenderness was overflowing.

After returning to the house to wash, they used lotus leaves to cool up, and the two went outside the house to cool off.

The bright moon shuttles through the clouds, the clear light is sprinkled on the ground, and the bluestone glows with a warm light.

Tan Zhaozhao was playful, and his toes lit the faint light and shadow for a while. Zhang Jiuling looked funny on the side, wanted to hold her hand, and said, "Stop playing, fall carefully." ”

It was still a little hot at night, especially Zhang Jiuling's slender fingers, who always liked to wrap Tan Zhaozhao's hands in it, and she put her hands behind her back and said, "It's hot." ”

The hand was empty, Zhang Jiuling shook his head helplessly and smiled, "It's not hot, Zhaozhao has to believe me." ”

Tan Zhaozhao didn't believe it, trotted forward a few steps with his hands behind his back, and looked back, Zhang Jiuling stood in the moonlight and smiled.

He stretched out his long legs, his wide robe danced, like a Lingbo step, and appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye.

"It's not hot." Zhang Jiuling leaned over and smiled, facing the puffed Tan Zhaozhao, encircled her in his arms, and held the hand she was hiding behind her back.

It was cold and wet in the touchroom, Tan Zhaozhao exclaimed in surprise and looked up at him: "Why are your hands so cold?" ”

Facing Chi Qiyin's red lips, Zhang Jiuling's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head on her lips, tossing and turning, and tapping.

"I was afraid that Zhao Zhao would be too hot, so I grabbed a small piece of ice and it melted." Zhang Jiuling restrained himself from inhaling and explained in a dumb voice: "I'm also getting better." ”

Tan Zhaozhao was stunned, soft-hearted, leaned on his chest, took the initiative to hug him and rub it, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it's hot." Hey, is there ice? Let's go for ice cheese. ”

Datang ice storage has become very popular, and the families of large gentry store their own ice for summer use. The Zhang family is not so rich, so they have to go to Shaozhou City to buy ice.

Summer ice is expensive, and Lu was worried that Zhang Jiuling would catch a cold and get sick if he was greedy for coolness, so he only gave some of them.

Parents are here, it is not easy to get money, and they do not live separately.

When Zhang Jiuling needed money, he withdrew it from the public account. Because he is sensible, Zhang Hongyue never cares about his usefulness.

Tan Zhaozhao thought that Zhang Jiuling would be scolded by the Lu family if he withdrew money from the public middle school to buy ice, so he took out the copper coins that were not easy to carry from the dowry, and said heroically: "Da Lang, you go to buy ice, we will use enough!" ”

Zhang Jiuling couldn't cry or laugh, picked up the strings of copper coins she was carrying and put them aside, and wiped the reed mat with wet wipes: "The copper coins are very dirty, don't put them indiscriminately." I ate too much ice before, and I have already eaten my stomach once, and you have forgotten it? ”

Tan Zhaozhao pretended to be stupid and quibbled: "No, I'm fine now." ”

"You can't eat more anyway." Zhang Jiuling looked around uncomfortably, coughed, and said, "I have money." ”

Tan Zhaozhao immediately climbed over from the reed mat, leaned in front of him, looked him up and down, and said excitedly: "How many?" ”

Zhang Jiuling looked at Tan Zhaozhao, whose apricot eyes were wide open in front of him, and his face was full of curiosity and expectation, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's not as much as Zhaozhao's dowry, if it's just ice, you can still afford it." Every time you go to the study, you doze off, and the box with the gold leaves is in the compartment where the scrolls are placed, and you have never looked through it. ”

Tan Zhaozhao sneered, knowing that this matter was not suitable for publicity, so he didn't ask any more. Zhang Jiuling is sometimes easy to speak, but sometimes he is like a stubborn stone, Tan Zhaozhao knows that he must not want to buy a pile of ice, so he can only stop talking.

The ice that Zhang Jiuling obtained, Tan Zhaozhao made a careful calculation, and used all of it to make ice cheese and all kinds of ice drinks.

Tan Zhaozhao's favorite is the popular iced dessert of the Tang Dynasty, which is made of cheese, cane syrup, honey, etc., poured into a beautifully carved mold, and formed in ice, which is beautiful, sweet and relieves the heat.

At this time, it was too late to make a crisp mountain, Tan Zhaozhao pondered and crushed the ice, added it to the buttermilk, the ice was cold, and he was refreshed after eating a bowl.

Zhang Jiuling was extremely depressed, and hugged Tan Zhaozhao hard, "In Zhaozhao's eyes, food is far more important than me. ”

Tan Zhaozhao pursed his lips and smiled, took the initiative to hold Zhang Jiuling's hand, he held her with his backhand, and that bit of depression quickly disappeared into invisibility.

Zhang Jiuling only allowed Tan Zhaozhao to eat a small half bowl of ice cheese, and rested after washing, he hugged her lightly, rubbed his chin against the top of her head, and said reluctantly: "Zhaozhao, I will go to my uncle's place tomorrow, and I won't come back in two days." ”

Zhang Jiuling's uncle Zhang Hongya was admitted to the Jinshi, but he couldn't get out in Chang'an, so he stayed in Shaozhou to run a private school and teach students.

Zhang Jiugao and Qi Qilang are both studying in his private school.

Zhang Hongya values Zhang Jiuling, he has experience in taking the examination for fame, Zhang Jiuling was about to leave for Chang'an, so he handed over a post and invited him to talk to his friends.

Tan Zhaozhao had already heard Zhang Jiuling mention it a few times, and said, "It's only been two days, and Da Lang will be back soon." If you go this time, the uncle and the elders of the clan should be entangled with you, right? ”

Zhang Jiuling: "......."

Full of reluctance, all blocked in the chest.

Tan Zhaozhao noticed Zhang Jiuling's trouble, and said softly: "I will wait for you to return at home." ”

Zhang Jiuling had no choice but to take Tan Zhaozhao, and carefully advised: "Zhaozhao stays at home, don't be greedy for cold, eat less ice drinks." When you usually practice, don't go out if it's too hot. A-Niang's ......, what she says, you listen, A-Niang is kind-hearted, she sees that you are silent, and she will pass after a while. ”

Tan Zhaozhao responded one by one, "Da Lang can rest assured, Ah Jia is Da Lang's aunt, I should respect and pay attention to it, and I will not make it difficult for Da Lang." ”

In the past, Zhang Jiuling often left home, and he had never been so reluctant. Before I left, I already started to miss it.

Zhang Jiuling hugged her tighter, kissed her at once, and said vaguely, "I'll be back soon." ”

The moonlight shines through the window lattice, quietly sprinkled on the reed mat.

Zhang Jiuling's full tenderness turned into verses, and he whispered: "Since the king's appearance, I don't care about the remnants." Sijun is like a full moon, and the night is less bright. Note
