Chapter 26 Jasper Little Family Daughter(1/2)
The weather was hot, so I put my hair up in a bun. WWW.tsxsw.COM I didn’t cut off my hair. I was ordered to take off my hair and become a monk and practice spiritual practice with my hair. However, during my life in a Buddhist temple, I didn’t dress up deliberately. I just wore it every day.
Wash your face with water and leave your face bare-faced. Unless it is the hottest day, your hair would be left hanging casually, without being trimmed. As a result, your hair will grow longer and longer.
As time passed, he smiled to Jinxi and said, "I used to spend the most time on dressing up every day. There were so many gold and hairpins on my head. I just felt that my head was as big as a bucket every day, and it was unbearable."
Huanbi also laughed, "In the past, the golden threads on the young lady's clothes weighed several kilograms when stacked, and they would probably break the bones. No wonder the ladies in the palace walked with lotus steps. In fact, they didn't even
I can’t walk fast.”
I almost laughed when I thought about it, and said, "We are more free now."
Huanbi smiled and sprinkled water on Xi Yan in front of the door. Her posture was light and gentle, and she said softly: "In the palace, you must abide by the rules of the palace, and in Ganlu Temple, you must abide by the rules of Buddhism. Now I am being dismissed."
When you get here, you don’t have to follow any rules, and you don’t have to think about anything.”
My eyes were attracted by the sunset, and my tone softened unconsciously, and I said leisurely: "When I walk to the water poor place, I sit and watch the clouds rise. Now, it is really the days of leisurely clouds and wild cranes."
So the life was so quiet, and the only ones who often came and went were Wen Shichu and Xuanqing. However, Wen Shichu and Xuanqing were often separated when they met, so the two rarely saw each other. Xuanqing came every three or five days.
Laugh with me about the past and present, or play chess or poetry, have some elegant fun, or pass on a word or two about Meizhuang or Longyue. Such a sentence or two, just such a fragment of words, will not provoke me.
It was sad, but it also relieved the care and concern in my heart.
Xuanqing also apologized to me. He was sorry that he could only come once every three to five days, but could not always be with me. So he asked Ah Jin to tame a pigeon for me and said with a smile: "In this way, we can fly pigeons."
Letters have been passed around and exchanges have begun. Even if we can't meet, we can still talk to each other."
I deliberately teased him: "I don't want it. Later, before the flying pigeon passes the letter a few times, the civet cat is attracted first, and I can't stand the scare anymore."
Xuanqing smiled and pinched my nose, and said: "Do you think pigeons are so stupid that they will stay in the birdcage and wait for civet cats to eat them? They can usually fly and forage on their own, but you want them to send letters and catch pigeons.
Just whistle."
Sometimes I also wonder why he grasps my thoughts so clearly and appropriately, and always dissolves the ice in my heart bit by bit just right.
When I ask him, he always gives me a smile as clear as a cloud, but just says nothing.
So, I stopped asking. I just secretly enjoyed his thoughtfulness and the peace it brought.
In the afternoon of that day, he and I were playing chess outside the west window. The heat outside was in full swing, and the cicadas were making a noisy noise, as if it was raining heavily. There was a faint noise. Ah Jin was taking a nap under the shade of a tree, his head
Button after button, shaking this way and that.
Jinxi brought the mung bean soup, and I said gently: "Drinking this is the best way to relieve the heat. The sun was so bright at noon, and you came here on horseback. It's really crazy." I raised my hand to pick up the soup cup, use a covered bowl to remove the foam, and slowly
I took two sips slowly.
Xuanqing raised his head and drank it in one gulp. He looked at the bamboo shadows outside the house and said, "Your place is a good place to enjoy the cool air. That's why I came here on horseback to find a bowl of good soup to drink to relieve the heat." He turned back to Jinxi and said: "
Jinxi, your mung bean soup is getting better and better."
I smiled and said, "Jinxi, just for his sweet mouth, give him another bowl."
Jin Xi smiled warmly, brought in another bowl, and said, "Your Majesty, you can drink as much as you want. There is plenty."
Huanbi happened to stop the needlework in her hand and smiled gracefully, showing a few of her jade-white teeth, "It's so hot outside. The prince will be sweating all over whether he returns to the palace or to the terrace later. Why don't we have dinner here."
"
Xuan Qing smiled so hard that he looked at me sideways, "Young servant, I wonder what your master wants to stay with me?"
I held up a white silk fan and said with a smile: "Huanbi has already asked me to keep you, so why am I so embarrassed to drive you away? As long as you don't think our vegetarian dishes here are bland."
Xuan Qing said: "It doesn't matter what you eat, just follow your heart."
I brushed my clothes and stood up, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will cook myself today and make a bowl of soup for the prince."
When the sun set, a square table was placed under the melon stand in the courtyard. I brought a bowl of rice and a bowl of clear soup up and said, "Your Majesty, please have a taste. This soup should be eaten with white rice."
smell."
The soup has a light green color, and the white porcelain bowl has a refreshing color. Slices of bamboo shoots and diced mushrooms lie quietly at the bottom of the bowl. Xuan Qing said with a smile: "It makes your index fingers tickle when you look at it." He scooped up.
He took a sip, closed his eyes and savored it, "It smells of lotus leaves, pine nuts, a bit of shiitake mushrooms, and even bamboo shoots." His beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised, "There is also a slight fragrance, which is very special and not too good to taste.
Gotta come out.”
I smiled and said, "It's something from my cooling terrace, but I don't know it. It's the snow water collected on the green plums when I was recuperating at your cooling terrace last year. The smell of green plums is different from ordinary plum blossoms. It has a refreshing smell."
His temperament has become more and more refined, and he is worthy of making soup with young lotus leaves and pine nuts."
He tilted his head and smiled, "There are snow water on plum blossoms, lotus leaves, pine nuts, mushrooms and bamboo shoots. They are all natural and clean things. No wonder it tastes so fresh."
I smiled slightly and said, "If it is a vulgar thing, would you dare to bring it to you to taste?"
Xuan Qing said: "What is the name of such a beautiful thing?"
My tone was light and breezy, "Plum blossoms, pine nuts, mushrooms and bamboo shoots are all from the mountains, while lotus flowers are only found in the water. They are combined into a bowl, and there are mountains and water. They are all fresh in style."
He said "Oh" and said somewhat speculatively: "But it's called 'mountain light and water color'?"
I clasped my fingers and said, "Lands and rivers are just the last part. What's valuable is the quality of the objects. They are all very upright and upright." I smiled happily and said, "That's how the pure air lasts forever."
He raised his hand and said, "Your mind is so cunning and weird that even I can't believe it."
I raised my eyebrows and said, "I just pay attention to my diet when I have nothing to do. Is this considered cunning and weird?"
He was in high spirits, and "the freshness lasted forever, as if it was like my name."
I slapped my fan, covered my lips and said with a smile: "It's so unreasonable for me to make a bowl of soup, and then insist on having a name similar to my own. Isn't that embarrassing?"
There was a faint blush at the corner of Xuan Qing's eyes, "If you deny it, I will only take it as true."
The evening breeze in the hot summer has a bit of stuffy water vapor, but when it blows on my face, it feels moist and cool. The sunset is so intoxicating, and the sunset faces in the courtyard are like delicate and pure white butterflies, with subtle and gentle shapes, slow and gentle.
Slowly revealing the aroma that makes people forget their worries, I was slightly startled and said softly: "Why do you understand my heart so well?"
He held up his chopsticks and was almost stunned when he heard my words, showing a child-like joy. Xuanqing laughed, "Just because of this name, I really shouldn't live up to it, I'm going to drink it all in one gulp."
"
I saw him raising his spoon and going to drink again, so I stopped him with a smile and said, "If you really only drink this with rice, you wouldn't really be a fool." I went back to bring another plate of cloud-sliced ham and almond tofu and said
: "This soup should be paired with ham. The tofu will be more stomach-churning in the summer."
A hint of touching joy flashed across his eyes, like the light red clouds on the mountain top, and he said: "Since I met you, this is the first time I see you cooking for me and taking the trouble to prepare the dishes for me. I am really touched."
I glanced at him and said, "Let's just eat. You still talk so much. Are you planning to come here to eat more often in the future?"
He just smiled and said nothing. He only ate two bowls of rice and finished all the dishes in a hurry.
I saw that he ate delicious food, and for some reason, I felt very happy. It was probably because I was cooking. Some people like to eat, and they are always so happy.
A sweet fragrance hit my nose, the strong fragrance of roses mixed with the intoxicating smell of wine. Even I was attracted, and I couldn't help but turn around to look, only to see a lot of green and green people walking over, and said with a smile: "I just went to the kitchen to make something."
A bowl of rose wine is best eaten as a snack, please give it a try, Your Majesty."
But it was a snow-white bowl of wine, fermented, with a lot of rose petals sprinkled on it, and it was bright red and lovely.
I smiled and said, "It smells good. Huanbi's cooking skills are pretty good."
Xuan Qing was slightly embarrassed and said with a smile: "I'm really full today. And the wine is so sweet that I really can't eat it anymore."
Huanbi looked at the empty plate on the table, a little disappointed, and said: "Then, how about just one bite?"
She stood in front of her with a graceful figure. The aroma of the rose wine in her hand was so fragrant that it was hard to refuse.
If it doesn’t stop, let’s try another day.”
Huanbi was a little frustrated and a little unsure about whether to advance or retreat. She just whispered: "That's good."
I saw him in embarrassment, and I knew in my heart that he didn't like eating such sweet things, but there was no need to embarrass Huanbi over this. I thought about it for a moment, and said with a smile, "I didn't mean to go to Anqi to visit the concubine just now.
Well, it's too late for the concubine to be worried, so let's go quickly while it's still early." I sent him away in a hurry, unaware that Huanbi behind me looked lonely.
He understood, "Then, I'll come back in two days."
Because he came and went often, I didn't see him off. When he left and Huanbi was just packing up the things on the table, I gently explained to Huanbi, "It's just a bowl of rose wine. You took the trouble to make it."
, Qing always has time to eat. Why be so dejected."
Huanbi lowered her head and wiped the table hard, and whispered: "Your Majesty will not eat anymore." She paused, her eyes flickering like river waves, "When Your Majesty just excused himself, he didn't even glance at the bowl of rose wine. It can be seen that
He doesn’t like to eat.”
I smiled and sighed: "Huanbi, you are actually very careful about people."
"Really?" The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the side of her face, casting a light red halo, but it was incompatible with her expression at the moment. Huanbi said softly: "I thought the prince liked to drink in his spare time.
That's why I made a bowl of rose wine, but I didn't think I had the wrong idea." She stretched out her hand and poured the wine into the swill bucket, with a calm face and no regrets at all.
I was stunned, "If you don't eat it, you just leave it. Why throw it away?"
Huanbi seemed fine and smiled lightly: "I made it for him. He didn't eat it, so I just threw it away. I didn't plan to give it to anyone else. If Miss and Jin Xi like it, I'll make a new one."
that is."
I sighed silently in my heart, Huanbi's temper gradually became a little weird and perverse.
I looked at her slender back, and my mood was like the sky, gradually dyed with night.
Huanbi was still quiet and silent, but the way she looked at me gradually became a bit wet. However, if she didn't say anything, I wouldn't take the initiative to ask, I would just pretend that I didn't know.
Finally one day, when I was watering Xiyan among the flowers with a pot, Huanbi stood beside me and said leisurely: "Miss, you have always been very smart, why would you ask the prince such a simple question..." She hesitated for a moment, "Or maybe she is stupid.
To be continued...
