Undying Curse Part 2

Qin Chao Fanwai, youth chapter.

On the street in front of Longxi Hou's Mansion, a carriage came slowly and swayed, and stopped in front of the mansion gate.The groom stopped the carriage, hurried forward and put down the footstool.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a handsome young man in a moon white shirt jumped out of the car, walked a few steps forward, raised his head and stared at the four characters "Longxi Marquis Mansion", with the corners of his lips slightly hooked.

The door of the mansion was opened from the inside, seeing the proud and tall petite figure, he immediately took a few steps forward, saluted and said: "I don't know if Princess Wuyang is coming, the small crime deserves death."

"It's okay, I came here suddenly." Xuan Luo shook his arms, put his back behind his back, raised his head and asked, "Where is Shang Ke?"

"Back to the princess, the little master is now practicing riding and archery, preparing for this month's riding and archery competition."

"Oh?" Xuan Luo's lips curled slightly, "Just take me there, don't disturb her."

"Yes."

The servant led Princess Wuyang all the way to the straight main road, because Longxi Hou Li's family was a member of the military, and unlike other mansions, it lacked the limitations of a lot of wing rooms, but went to a few more places to practice. A martial arts ground for infantry and a horse farm for riding skills.

Every time I come here, the blood in Xuanluo's heart is burning inexplicably, this is the charm of a general.

The sound of horseshoes approached from far to near, and a heroic figure manipulated the steed to sway over various obstacles. She was dressed in military uniform and held a longbow in her hand. The moment she stopped the steed at the designated place, she bent her bow and shot an arrow straight to the bull's-eye.

Under the sun, she is the most dazzling star in Xuan Luo's eyes no matter when it is.

Seeing that the young master had finished riding and shooting, the servants immediately trotted over and saluted, "Little master, Princess Wuyang is here."

Hearing this, Shang Ke steered the pony to turn in the direction of Xuan Luo, threw the longbow in his hand down, urged the horse to come to Xuan Luo, stretched out his hand, and showed a very sunny smile, "Ah Luo, I Take you to play."

Facing the glare of the sun, Xuan Luo stretched out his hand and jumped to sit behind Shang Ke, saying, "You haven't asked me yet, why am I here?"

"No matter what, you say it." Shang Ke manipulated the reins, left towards the back door of the Hou Mansion, and rode his horse to the outside of Xianyang City.

Mountains, forests and rivers, the two of them rode forward without hurrying, and along the way Shang Ke was talking about the riding and archery competition at the autumn festival ceremony this month.

Xuan Luo heard that Shang Ke attached great importance to this competition, because she wanted to fight side by side with her brother as soon as possible.

"I only learned how to make wine with my mother a few months ago. My mother said that the wine brewed for three months is sweet. I wanted to invite you to taste it, but I didn't expect..."

"Alo made?"

"Thinking that you will go to war in the future, and I can't go with you, it's okay to take my wine." Xuan Luo leaned over and snatched the reins from Shang Ke's hand, and turned the horse's head in the direction of Xianyang City , urging the mount, "So, don't delay here."

Facing Xuan Luo's dominance, Shang Ke just smiled and said nothing.

Yipinju is a famous restaurant in Xianyang City, and the wine brewed is one of the best signs here. Because of the noble status, even during the war, there is still nothing wrong here.

Xuan Luo rode his horse to the back alley, took Shang Ke into Yipinju through the back door, went to the cellar to take out the wine jar she had brewed before, held it and smelled it carefully, it was indeed fragrant.

"Go outside and I'll have someone prepare some refreshments."

Before Xuan Luo could move, the wine jar in his hand was held in his arms by Shang Ke, "I'll take the heavy things, don't you dignified princess do such heavy work, it's so decent."

Xuan Luo looked at Shang Ke who was about the same height as him in front of him, especially when he was wearing a military uniform, with a bit of sternness in his youth, "Okay, it's all up to you."

Five dishes of side dishes and a jar of wine.

Obviously only the age of the golden hairpin, but she already looks like an adult sitting in the corridor, chatting and laughing.

At this time and this scene, several years later, the servants of Yipinju still cannot forget it.

At that time, Princess Wuyang was full of energy.

At that time, the heroic young master of the Longxi Hou Mansion.

Just imagine, if there is no future, the deep friendship between the two will not be inferior to any man who cares about each other with all his heart and lives and dies.

After drinking for only half a round, Xuan Luo saw that Shang Ke's cheeks like a porcelain doll were rosy, and said with a smile: "I heard from my mother that Hou Ye can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but you are just right." on the contrary."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's just that this wine is too strong for me."

Xuan Luo couldn't see that Shang Ke was born with a stubborn mouth, especially the way he refused to admit defeat in chess, it was funny every time he thought about it, but if she really couldn't drink strong alcohol, wouldn't her daughter's family be in danger on the battlefield?She reached out to seal the wine jar, passed it on to the servants, and asked someone to prepare scented tea. She meditated: "Spirited wine is really not suitable for my daughter's house. Since I have learned how to make wine, how about brewing a light one for you?"

"Since it is wine for marching, naturally the stronger the better, we can't..."

Before Shang Ke could finish speaking, Xuan Luo raised his hand to stop him, "Don't argue with me on this question, what am I talking about, and... first take off the military uniform and change into clothes before talking, don't get sick."

Shang Ke took a deep breath, shook his drowsy head, and let Xuan Luo help him back to the room to change clothes.Putting on his headband, he lowered his eyebrows and looked at his silk satin gown, and said helplessly, "If brother knows that you also order men's clothing, he will definitely scold me."

"I can't say that. It's inconvenient for me to go out with my identity, but it's easy to change my outfit. When I become an adult in the future, I still want to travel around in this outfit and learn a lot." Xuan Luo looked at the front of his eyes. Man, "Nice, fits well."

"When I am an adult, I must drink heavily, and I won't be underestimated by you again."

Xuan Luo turned to look back at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Yes, yes, Shang Ke's words are reasonable, then before that, I'll just drink some tea first."

Shang Ke: "..."

When the servants saw them coming from afar, they immediately prepared fresh fruit tea, especially the decoration on the teacup, there was a piece of red petal, Shang Ke really felt fresh, pointed to the cup and asked: "What is this?"

"A peculiar kind of rose flower, my mother calls it a rose, the fragrance of the flower is elegant, and it is not only beautiful to decorate with tea, but also very sweet."

After Shang Ke heard the words, he took a small peck and nodded, "It smells so good."

Seeing that she rarely liked something, Xuan Luo blinked her clear eyes, "If you like it, how about I brew this flower into wine?"

"Brew this flower into wine?" In Shang Ke's eyes, Xuan Luo always has many unexpected ideas, whether it is thoughts or ideas.

"Yeah." Xuan Luo pondered for a moment, recalling the petals her mother saw when brewing, raised her eyebrows and said: "Yes, the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, and people are not drunk, so we call it drunk roses."

"Gose is drunk!?" Shang Ke couldn't help laughing, "Hearing this name, I'm three points drunk."

"Wouldn't it be better."

Holding the teacup, Shang Ke carefully looked at the petals floating on it, his dark and clear eyes turned to Xuan Luo, "Then I will try it to see if I really won't get drunk."

"It's a word."

As the sky was getting darker, Shang Ke led the horse and Xuan Luo walked in the streets of Xianyang City. Although the two of them looked like children in stature, no matter their appearance or temperament, they were still dressed in gorgeous and exquisite clothes, especially not far behind. There was a group of people following them, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the identities of these two people were either rich or noble.

The autumn festival is approaching, the New Year's Eve is approaching, the streets are very lively, Xuan Luo walked down and bought a lot of delicious snacks.

"The food here is not as delicious as Yipinju, so you are not afraid of spoiling your stomach?"

Xuan Luo was chewing a delicious snack, and glanced at this honest guy, "Yipinju's food is delicious because the ingredients are different from usual, and ordinary people can't eat it, so they think it is delicious in the world."

"It's natural."

"But I've been used to Yipinju since I was a snack, so I know that delicious food doesn't only exist in Yipinju, but in the folk." Xuan Luo pursed his lips into a chuckle, took out a piece of white pastry from the bamboo leaf, and handed it to Shang Ke said, "Try this, you must have never eaten it before."

Shang Ke's personality has always been one and the same, acting upright, but for Xuan Luo, he has never rejected her since he met her, so this time is no exception. Sneezed twice, looked at Xuan Luo, "How can you like to eat these things, and you are not afraid of ruining your body."

Seeing her like this, Xuan Luo suppressed her smile, and really felt sorry for her, "This is mustard flower cake, something that only folks have. I don't know what it is made of, but it tastes very refreshing. , I was still thinking at the time... If you march and fight in the future, if you eat a piece when you are sleepy, you will be full of energy."

Shang Ke pursed his lips, with a helpless expression on his face, and a little more warmth in his heart.Although her ideas are always weird, she has always been very concerned about her own affairs. The most important thing is that she knows what she likes, and Shang Ke feels ashamed of her liking.

Looking up at the full moon in the sky, Shang Ke said softly: "Ah Luo, Mr. said birthday wishes are the most spiritual, have you thought about your birthday wishes this year?"

With the hot mustard flower cake in his mouth, Xuan Luo breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Shang Ke and raised his eyebrows slightly, "My birthday is still early, but your birthday is coming soon, what wish?"

I wanted to use this to find out what she liked, but when I didn't think about the question, I was asked back like this. Shang Ke thought seriously: "That is when I become an adult, I will fight on the battlefield with my brother and serve my Daqin."

"I know how to fight and kill all day long. It doesn't look like a daughter's house." The two walked side by side, ignoring the servants behind them. My sister is well, and the Xuan family is well."

Hearing what Xuan Luo said, Shang Ke's eyes lit up, "To protect me, Daqin, is to keep you safe for the rest of your life. Seeing you are well, to me, it's worth not being this daughter's family."

Xuan Luo: "..."

"En." Shang Ke nodded happily, led the horse and walked towards the moonlight, walked a few steps and said with a smile: "Ah Luo, this is the birthday wish I want to give you every year."

Looking at the tall and handsome figure under the moonlight, Xuan Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly walked forward a few steps, "Isn't it because tomorrow I'm going to study brewing roses and get drunk?"

"With your intelligence, I never worry."

Xuan Luo pursed his lips, and took out the last piece of mustard flower cake, "Do you want to eat it?"

Looking at the fluctuating expression on Xuan Luo's face, Shang Ke felt uneasy and led the horse to walk a few steps quickly, "I see something interesting in front of me, let's take a look first."

Seeing her running away, Xuan Luo helplessly shook his head, looked up at the dark moonlight, and let out a deep breath.Her so-called peace actually includes Shang Ke, who always feels that the battlefield is ruthless, and when she thinks about where she will go in the future, she can't help but tense a string in her heart.

……

……

……

Four years later, in the age of jasper, Xuan Luo kept his promise and became "Rose Drunk", but he never saw the person who drank roses again.

When she stared at the rose petals floating on the wine glass, the corners of her lips could not help but rise.

The author has something to say:

I wanted to write this ancient story for a long time, Xuan Luo and Shang Ke's youth story, especially the scene of returning home together in the previous chapter, I couldn't help but wrote it.

Hope you like it.

The following is the science popularization time:

1. From the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Qin Dynasty, there was no Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, but there was an autumn festival, which is our current August [-]th.

2. The reason why the new year is approaching is because the Qin Dynasty used "October" as the beginning of the year, just like our current beginning of the year is January.

3. Don’t think that the word rose is very modern. It was recorded in “Xijing Miscellaneous Notes” in 220 BC that “there is a self-growing rose tree in Dongyou Garden”.

Well, the science popularization is over, let's make progress with me, so I am serious about writing a book.
