"Nadeko... let's go to Datang!"

Datang?

This was not the first time Nadeko had heard this proposal, but this time she agreed without hesitation.

Nadeko wore black mourning clothes, said goodbye to her younger siblings, and left with Ji Fenghua without anything.

There is nothing left to miss.

After formally confirming their relationship with Ji Fenghua, the two lived in harmony, and the Izumo country guard who accepted their fate no longer stopped them, but gave them a certain amount of support, which made the two no longer have to sneak around When we met, the road of relationship became smoother and smoother.

To be reasonable, I am grateful to this reasonable father-in-law Ji Fenghua.

Therefore, Ji Fenghua was not without guilt knowing that she had abducted his family's daughter to make them cut off their children and grandchildren, so she did everything possible to find the elixir for childbirth, and asked Nadeshi to give it to Izumo Guoshou himself and his concubines. After a lot of hard work, he got another son and a daughter, which made the frail Izumo Kunimori cry with joy!

These days, the nobles in Heian capital are generally short-lived. Although the Izumo country guard has children, Ji Fenghua is still worried that he will not be able to survive the day when the children grow up, and she sees the importance Nadeko has for his father, so she does not wait. At the request of Nadeshiko, she tried every means to make her father-in-law live a long life, and finally let him live until the day when he saw his newborn daughter's future was settled.

And then die with a smile.

When the Izumo country guard left, he was already a well-known long-lived old man in the whole country, so Nadeko was very relieved about his departure, and her sister married a country guard from another country. .

Therefore, it is logical to settle in Datang across the sea and stay away from this sad place.

A small mountain village in Datang

At this time, in the late winter, the small mountain village was closed by heavy snow, and the ground was piled up half a person's height, obviously it was inconvenient to travel.

As a monster, Ji Fenghua was naturally not afraid of the cold and heat, but Nadeshiko was still a mortal, so the two of them huddled in the room holding the stove, and sat on the warm kang to make tea and drink.

"Ah, do you want to make tea today? That taste is a bit strong..."

Seeing Ji Fenghua take out the tea leaves, Fuzi expressed her opinion tactfully. She has lived in Datang for some years, and she also knows a little about the popular way of making tea in Datang. The tea boiled by the material is really not to her taste, and it tastes very choking. Although drinking tea in winter has the function of warming up, she doesn't want to challenge it.

"I won't throw all those big ingredients in, just put it in tea leaves and boil it. Although I haven't tried it, I always feel that it will be delicious."

Ji Fenghua didn't know where that fanciful self-confidence came from, and when he had this idea, he hurriedly went to the governor to ask for some tea. Fortunately, she travels thousands of miles a day and can fly with a sword. So I rushed back from such a long journey in a quarter of an hour, and I didn't miss the time when Nadeko woke up from her afternoon nap.

With Ji Fenghua's guarantee, the two began to watch the gradually boiling tea stove. After the tea was brewed, Ji Fenghua poured herself a cup of "Test Poison" confidently. After confirming that the taste was okay, she nodded. Signaled Nadeko to drink her cup.

"Be careful, it's a little hot."

Even though she knew that Nadeko was a careful person, she couldn't help but say something before Nadeko opened his mouth.

Hearing Ji Fenghua's reminder, Nadeshiko smiled and nodded, she blew on the tea noodles, and then took a sip, a faint astringent taste surged up, but it soon turned sweet at the moment of entrance, Yu The fragrance keeps lingering between the lips and teeth.

"It's delicious." Nadeko sighed sincerely.

There are also teas in Fusang, but they are crude teas that cannot be imported. Power is hard to come by, and over time, Nadeko lost interest in this little-known drink, and never drank it once.

Not counting the tea with aniseed ingredients in Datang, this was the first time she tried clear tea.

"You can drink more if it tastes good. I'm going to come here a lot this time." Ji Fenghua looked through the porcelain vases filled with tea leaves very proudly. She brought all the inventory of the governor's family during this trip, enough for Nadeshiko to drink. long time.

"Did you go to the governor's house to rob again? I thought you had changed this habit." Nadeko swallowed a mouthful of tea soup, offering sympathy for the unfortunate governor.

"No, since I came to Datang, I have changed my ways. I exchanged a bottle of wine for these tea leaves. The governor doesn't seem to like tea. He is very happy to exchange tea leaves for wine!"

As time passed, Ji Fenghua slowly developed a variety of abilities. Once when she was experimenting with abilities, she found that removing a little water from the wine could make the wine taste more intense, and thus made a strong-flavored wine. liquor.This kind of wine was very popular as soon as it appeared. After reforming, she exchanged it for things, but she was never refused.

Moreover, when the two of them came to live in Datang, they planted rain in the dry place, which made the governor very grateful. Even if there was no wine, he would not cruelly refuse her request.

"You brought all the tea from the governor's family, but this kind of tea should be a tribute tea from a reward. Where are you going to get it after drinking it?"

Seeing Ji Fenghua's triumphant look, Nadeko couldn't help but want to make things difficult for her, hoping to appreciate her frowning and distressed appearance.

Since we met, I rarely saw her distressed, so Nadeko cherished this expression even more, and always wanted to see her in every way.

"Don't worry if it's tribute tea. I also found the seeds of the tea tree. If you want to drink it, just plant it."

As she said that, she threw a seed out of the window. It was obviously an untimely season, and the seed began to take root and grow as soon as it got into the snow. After a while, a slim and beautiful tea tree grew, and Ji Fenghua moved his fingers, The tea tree automatically turned into tea leaves and seeds, and they ran into the house obediently together.

"It's really convenient, every time I see you cast a spell, it's incredible."

Seeing that she couldn't stop her like this, Nadeko felt a little regretful, but then she felt relieved, being able to stay with this person felt very at ease, and it's okay to miss one or two unknown expressions once in a while. Because... no one can understand her better than her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help leaning against Ji Fenghua's side, and whispered her request against her ear: "Please hug me, I'm a bit cold."

"This... aren't you holding the hand stove?"

"Please hold me tight, it's warmer to lean on you than the hand stove."

In this warm and warm winter, some dormant seeds are accumulating strength, looking forward to waking up in spring.Although strange and familiar memories often turn into fragments and flash in my heart little by little, the winter I spent is real and will remain there forever as a part of memory.
