He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

After entertaining more than a dozen neighbors in Shengdaofang in the eastern suburbs, Su An thanked Cui Shao and other officials, and personally sent them to the gate of the courtyard.

Cui Shao patted the ashes off his cuffs, and said generously: "Su Gongfeng, Shengdaofang and Xinchangfang are neighbors in the north and the south. From now on, you must not be out of touch with Uncle's business, which is also Cui's business."

Standing outside the threshold, Su An replied with a smile: "The Langzhong has displeased me. When I came to see the house that day, I originally complained about the desolation and remoteness. But when I found out that I was next door to Mr. Cui, I was both surprised and delighted, so I made a decision immediately."

Su An heard in the Poetry Club that Cui Gong of Xinchang Fang was good at using silk and bamboo to sing flowers and birds. Therefore, he always put on a shy face and tried to win over people who could bring him back to the upper class by any means.

With such a neighbor, it was really hard for Su An to refuse. In addition, if he wanted to rebuild Mudanfang in the future, he would not be able to offend any official from the Ministry of Rites, so he temporarily changed his mind and suffered the pomp and did not have time to discuss it with Gu Yue.

In addition, Cui Shao also mentioned holding a cultural banquet for Su's house to entertain guests from all over the city, but Su An refused.

At this moment, the hustle and bustle in the workshop gradually dissipated, and the servants were sweeping the red shavings of incense paper left by sacrifices and ghost hunting.

Su An sighed, seeing that the mahogany double-wheeled official car at the south gate did not leave or come in, as if he was admiring the peach grove in Beiqiu across the land.Su An ordered: "Let Gu Lang wait a moment, I will finish before the curfew."

In the middle hall of the main courtyard, Su Ren and Xiang Shi were admonishing the servants.Su An stepped into the red sandalwood door, her lonely and thin body, like a whitebait, passed through three or four rows of men and one or two rows of maidservants, and knelt down in front of the rug in front of the couch.

Su Ren nodded, crossed her legs and said, "Ye Nu, in the middle of the day, your uncle Qiao said that even the Supreme Saint praised your music, alas, I didn't say anything, I knew in my heart that he likes to brag, I can't believe it, playing the pipa alone Yes, you can still make the decision.”

Su An: "..."

Su An said yes.Su Ren said: "Father and Aunt are also old, I hope you will live with us and take care of the slaves." Su An replied: "The fields are divided equally among the courtyards, and it will be the property of the uncles; The expenses in the parents’ hall are paid quarterly; Hua Nu’s errands are also arranged; I live in Taile Department, not at home.”

Su Ren said: "Okay, but I also heard from your uncle Qiao that the officials are separated from the inside and the outside, and you are already an official household, so what about the slaves?" Su An said: "Father, I am just a loose official. Still in Taichang Temple, it is not easy to enter the stream, and I will go to Hua Nu and tell you that it will not be hard to be an official in the office of the East City Administration."

Xiang Shi and a few maidservants compared the new style of embroidery in front of the candle, raised their eyes tenderly from time to time, and smiled at Su An.

The Su family has never used servants before, they have always cultivated the land by themselves, fed and clothed themselves, but now, it is suddenly different.

After Su An and Su Yan finished explaining, they heard Xiang Shi's angry voice, and they cried because they missed each other in the Furong Garden, so they knelt down in front of Xiang Shi and said, "Aniang, you can still see the eye of a needle clearly." What? I'll help you wear it."

Xiang Shi patted Su An on the shoulder: "Oh, Ye Nu has finally grown up, Madam, don't worry, Madam is only worried about your little sister's marriage." Su An said: "She is only thirteen." Xiang Shi looked at Su An An pierced the needle and sighed: "Forget it, there is pearl and white fungus porridge boiled in Amo's room, and I will bring it to you to eat. The barley from Shaozhou is good for eyesight, isn't it?"

Su An smiled and said: "Okay, Chang'an..." Xiang Shi said: "Chang'an may not have such a thing, next time, you call Gu Lang to come and try Amo's handicraft together. In fact, that Cui Lang today, The appearance is not bad, but I think it's too ostentatious and noisy, it's not as quiet and refined as Gu Lang's work, and I even gave Amo a makeup box..."

Listening, the smile on Su An's lips disappeared silently, slipped his hand, and pricked his finger.Xiang Shi said with concern: "Oh, it's not material to be a female celebrity." Su An put down the needle: "Then, Auntie, I'm going to Hua Nu."

When they arrived at West Hall, Shenniang was coaxing the children.Su An found Su Cheng and told him about the errands in the Yamen of the Municipal Department.Su Cheng didn't know anything except farming, so he listened to Su An.Su An only asked one thing, not to accept gifts from others indiscriminately.

Su Cheng asked: "It's so good, why did you give me a gift?" Su An said: "Because you are my younger brother, if they can't find me, why don't they come to you? At this time, you have to refuse." Su Cheng nodded. :"rest assured."

As night fell, Su An walked through the corridor and glanced at Su Mo's and Su Qian's rooms with candles lit in the back yard.String sounds and laughter came from the room, probably because the sisters were discussing the difference in the number of strings and the sounds they made.

Su An thought for a while, but couldn't tell whether it was sweet or bitter, so she turned around and walked towards the south gate without seeing her sister.

A family of seventeen finally settled down.From the joy and sweetness of hearing the news at the beginning, to the disturbance of floods and bandits and storms, and then to running around to move the house and settle down, finally, finally, the sky was supported.

In early spring, the dew is still heavy, the buds and leaves are soaked with moisture, and the moonlight washes, and the patches are silvery.

"Asu."

"eighteen!"

After enduring each other for two months, Gu Yue finally received Su An safely again.Su An couldn't figure out what was going on with him, so he rushed up and hugged Gu Yue by the waist.The velvet fur Gu Yue was wearing was sticking together due to the long exposure to the dew, and it was a bit cold against his face, while Su An dawdled and held tightly, unwilling to leave.

"Does Asu think that after I go to the household department, I have to find another shelter in the future? But that's right, I really can't bother with Cui Langzhong's "Hibiscus in Spring". " Gu Yue smiled, lifted the curtain, and pulled Su An went to sit in the car, her voice was still warm and peaceful, "Or, are you annoyed by me, you came all the time, but you didn't enter your house?"

Su An fiddled with a mask: "Go to Pingkang's flower cake workshop and tell it. It is said that it was opened by the master's apprentice in Ningyuanzhai..." Gu Yue: "I'll do it." Su An: "What?" Gu Yue pressed Hold his hand: "I'll help you wear it."

Half of the face is painted white, with a pair of fox eye holes, chiseled moiré on the nostrils, two flaming eyebrows, and five peach blossoms floating on the sideburns.The very familiar mask suddenly became strange in Su An's eyes.

Gu Yue leaned forward, his movements were gentle and could not be refused, he took off Su An's hairpin, let go of the long black hair, and then gently covered Su An's face with the mask: "If you feel tight, just say it." Su An Ann nodded.

When tying the ribbon, Gu Yue concentrated on it and didn't say a word.Su An only heard the rustling in his ears, and smelled the sandalwood on Gu Yue's body, and he felt stuffy unconsciously.Gu Yue tied a bow tie unhurriedly, looked at it for a moment, then carefully pulled out the hair buried under it, and then kissed Su An's ear.

Su An's eyes were full of tears, and she didn't dare to blink.Gu Yue couldn't see, he just held him in his arms, holding him tightly.

"Asu, listen, what I said on Qixi Festival is not a joke, even if the candle is extinguished, it will be fulfilled."

Passing by Dongshi, the shops outside are closing their stalls, shouting and the sound of bells and drums come and go.Su An snorted.Gu Yue stopped, and suddenly remembered something, and took out a small box of lip gloss from his purse.After Su An opened it, it was the color of peach petals on the mask.Gu Yue explained: "When I was in Songzhou, I asked people to buy beeswax, comfrey, and cinnabar, and then I researched it myself. I fried it hundreds of times before making it. I want to watch you order it, and then watch you eat the cake. .”

Su An nodded again.After obtaining the consent, Gu Yue simply wiped Su An's slightly pale lips with a silk handkerchief, and then used the hairpin he just took out to pick out a few smears of crystal lip gloss from the box, and put them on Su An's lips little by little. Ann's lips.

Fresh, delicate and floral.

This was also Su An's vague feeling of Gu Yue's indescribable fiery mood after the night of the Calyx Banquet.

So, Su An suddenly had a thought, he lowered his head and pulled the clothes around Gu Yue's waist: "Did you use that jade? I said I wanted to see it." However, he found nothing except the jade belt buckle, so he Somewhat disappointed.

Gu Yue took a deep breath, and comforted him: "In summer, I want to organize the construction of the Heyin warehouse, and find a way to let the Ministry of Rites arrange you to accompany me, so that we can find Xie Yusha in Luoyang together, and first polish its surface, Okay." Under the mask, Su An's eyes flashed brightly: "Well, you can't delay any longer, otherwise, I will wear it for you myself."

The flower cake workshop in Pingkangfang is doing a brisk business tonight, and an unknown nobleman wrote the inscription - "Flower cake member outside"

Gu Yue didn't order a wing room according to the old habit, but asked for a seat in the corridor outside the building.Su An dared to refuse, sat down, picked up the flower cake catalogue, smiled and said: "Eighteen, let me read it to you, Gypsophila, this is made of golden rice, mixed with grits, this is jujube beans , the golden cake is filled with grits, this one is carved on the outside..."

Gu Yue said: "Okay, I know Chinese well. Now it's time to talk about business. I've been promoted to the fifth grade, and I'm about to have a tail burn banquet. Can you come to make wine correction? I don't have any relatives or friends. If you come to play the music, It must be flourishing."

Su An blinked, called a buddy, and decided to order Mumi Jinmao Noodles and Huajiandu, and then replied seriously: "Okay, Faqu is popular in the palace recently, and it is played with Qing instruments. Xiliang and Qiuci..."

Gu Yue felt relieved: "Yeah." Su An thought about it for a while, and then felt something strange: "Su understands, Mr. Gu fried the beeswax hundreds of times, in fact, it was for Su's song." Gu Yue picked up the chopsticks : "Hey, that's right."

The pastries are served in two stacks of two pieces each.

One is Mumi Jinmao Noodles, which are lifelike with jujubes and noodles made of lions embedded on the golden oil cake; the other is flower cut belly, which is chubby and lumpy, and there is nothing unique about it.

Su An rested her chin, thought for a moment, called the clerk and asked: "I said, for your five hundred yuan, the front one is okay, but the latter one is mediocre, a bit more expensive, right?" The clerk smiled: "Eat first." Just take a sip."
