Brother Donggong

Yongjing Nanhu Lake can be said to be boundless in spring.The freshly grown peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, apple blossoms, and morning glory are in full bloom, competing for splendor. These are not counted. The key is the beauties who come to enjoy the flowers. All kinds of styles are simply colorful.

Cui Bicheng was born beautiful, from childhood to adulthood, it seems that she has been a lover all her life.Along the way, he didn't need to wink at him, and all kinds of young and wonderful women never missed him.If Lao Cui looked back and smiled, he would be ashamed of how many pink cheeks.

Because I was going out of the city for an outing, and I was not in a hurry, so as soon as I left the gate of Yongjing, I dismounted next to a tea stall outside. The people coming and going here were all out of the city to see flowers, eat wine and write poems.

They asked the shopkeeper to order two bowls of jasmine tea. Chengyi went to let the horses graze. Cui Bicheng took his crutches and walked to the bench to sit down. Then he took a fan from his sleeve and fanned with.

Cheng Yi walked over empty-handed, and Xiao Er just came over to serve tea. He said in amazement, "Why is this young man so relieved to let your horse walk along the river by itself? Your two horses look like good horses. Don't wait." Let the thieves take him away, this master looks like a rich man, he can't walk away, when the time comes, you won't even have time to cry."

Cheng Yi laughed, revealing his small white teeth, "It's okay, my horse is lazy and won't go with others."

After finishing speaking, he brought down the two big sea bowls of tea.

As soon as Xiao Er heard that they would not listen to their persuasion, she shook her head and left on her own.

At this time, a crisp voice from the side said, "Shopkeeper, bring me a sweet honey lotus tea for one night!"

Here came a girl in a red dress, dressed simply but gorgeously, her hair was braided complicatedly, but it was very suitable for riding a horse, and she didn't wear extra jewelry, but a pearl the size of a longan pinned on her temple.As soon as the child saw the charming guest, he was overjoyed and immediately held a porcelain bowl that was much more delicate than the rough pottery bowls we used, and had no rims on the sides, and brought it out to the girl.

Who would have thought that the girl frowned slightly after taking a sip of her drink, and said, "Shopkeeper, you are not kind."

The little second over there was taken aback for a moment, and immediately asked cautiously, "Why are you so unkind?"

The girl said, "You want to poison me. Your tea is bitter."

Xiaoer, "..."

The girl didn't wait for Xiaoer to speak, turned her eyes like this, but looked at Cui Bicheng and said, "This water is bitter, can I still lie to you? I am a girl from the Yao family in Meicheng County, Zhili. Mother, both parents are here. How can a famous family like me bully you, this store, for a bowl of honey tea?"

When Cheng Yi heard it, she was as happy as a mouse.

It turned out that this beautiful girl in a red dress fell in love with Cui Bicheng, how could this be the wrong choice for a small tea shop?This is obviously talking about the matter through the honey lotus tea in his hand.Now that everyone has revealed their family, they are waiting for old Cui Zhi to reply and send a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

Zhili Meicheng County is not far from Cui Bicheng's hometown, Ranzhuang. If you ride a strong donkey, you can make a round trip in a day.Cui Bicheng's deceased father used to be the parent officer of Meicheng County.Hearing what that bold girl said, and looking at her attire, she must have a very good family background. Her father is not a landlord but also a rich peasant.

Of course, there were many passers-by, and they saw that the girl in the red skirt had a good appearance, a good family background, and a good person, and she just expressed her thoughts to a good-looking cripple in such a straightforward manner, which really made others envious and jealous. It's called - what a big flower inserted straight into cow dung!

Old Cui, who was pretending to be stupid, didn't respond for a long time, Chengyi was anxious and kicked him.

Cui Bicheng quit, put the big bowl in his mouth on the table, and glared at Chengyi, "Why are you kicking me?"

Cheng Yi pouted at him and asked him to look at the fiery and enthusiastic girl in red skirt beside her.

Cui Bicheng looked at the girl with those confused eyes, then at the waiter in the store, and at the group of yelling guys next to him, he wiped his mouth, "I said, store, you are really not kind. Look at what you sell This tea made the little girl so bitter that she was about to cry, and she said that you hurt others. You are not right, she said you poisoned, who knows if you poisoned or not, I said, I remember that you are here This is a business, I drank your tea, and after two days I will also have a stomachache or something, so I can come here to trouble you."

After finishing speaking, he tapped Chengyi's hand on the table with his fingers, "Give me the money, and leave."

Great view!

What a spoiler! ! ——

Hearing this, the girl snorted, angrily threw the teacup in her hand to the buddy, turned around and left.Cheng Yi smiled and paid the bill, and also gave the girl the tea money by the way.The passers-by next to me shouted that the sky is unfair!Obviously I am a good flower pot, but that delicate flower can't see me, so I want to plant that pile of crippled cow dung by myself!

Cheng Yi's face was calm, and when she was riding a horse, she would always push her elbows against her stomach unconsciously, ah, I was holding back so much just now, I couldn't help laughing.

In fact, he already knew that the girl was going to be deflated.

Cui Bicheng is a superficial ruffian, foolish, with a face full of no serious businessman. In fact, he is aloof and sharp, with a heart as high as the sky. He doesn't necessarily give face to idle ministers, let alone Xiaojiabiyu who owns some land.He is a donkey, what he wants to do, eight cows can't bring him back, and what he doesn't want to do, the ninety-eight butcher's knife around his neck doesn't matter.In addition, Lao Cui has always been a good-natured person, and he doesn't look at women differently. However, he is still saving face for that girl, otherwise, he doesn't know that he can spit out any mean words.

When we arrived at Nanhu, it was already noon, just in time for dinner.

It's just that the shad in Xuezhifang, which is famous for its Huadiao shad, has been sold out.The cruise ship in Xuezhifang also put up a sign that it will not carry passengers.There are many people here who came back empty-handed from Baoshan, all of them were downcast, Chengyi shook her head regretfully, and complained to Old Cui, "Look, I told you to get up quickly, you are still dawdling, you should be late. "

Cui Bicheng disagreed, "Isn't it just a fish? Let's go back and send someone to the vegetable market to buy it."

Hearing what he said, a man in a silk shirt next to him interrupted, "Master, you don't know that the shad in Xuezhifang is the best in the world! What is the best in the world? Except here, You can’t eat this kind of shad anywhere else! Not to mention that there is no such thing in the vegetable market, even the Taisho Palace of the current emperor does not have this kind of stuff! This kind of shad is also called "Donghai Dajiao", and only a boat the size of a house goes out to sea. , it is possible to catch one or two. This one fish is bigger than three cows! Do you know a cow! It is bigger than three cows! It can’t be eaten by 100 people! What do you know? "

After he finished speaking, he cast a glance at Chengyi and Cui Bicheng, and walked away with his neck raised.

Cheng Yi looked at that person suspiciously, "Could it be that he is full of shad?"

Cui Bicheng snorted, "I think he didn't eat it at all. I said, I followed you so far, and now my stomach is growling. You can't let me drink another bowl of cold water and go home."

Chengyi scratched her hair, he didn't want to go back to Yongjing right now.

Today he seems to have quarreled with Wen Zhan and ran out. If he doesn't play for a few days before going back, it seems that he is very dishonest in this quarrel.

I can't eat the shad in Nanhu, but there are still some tofu flowers in the mountains and rivers over there.

Chengyi smiled and grabbed Cui Bicheng's sleeve, "I said I'm the host, so you can eat it naturally. Look, there are only a few shads, but there are many people visiting the lake in the southern suburbs, can't everyone eat them?" Hungry when you come to shad? There are restaurants along the lake, Lao Niu’s braised mutton, Song Widow’s Nanhu fish soup, Wang Er’s willow leaf noodles and Zhao’s rice wine are all good. Let’s go eat. "

Cui Bicheng curled his lips, "Just eat this? Do you think I'm a countryman, eating so much?"

"It's good to eat some, come, let me give you a bowl of Shanshui tofu flower."

Cheng Yi held two bowls of tofu flower and asked Cui Bicheng to eat it.

The breeze blows here, and the willows are Yiyi.

Suddenly, the painting boat of Xuezhifang in Nanhu Lake slowly stopped beside the lake embankment, attracting many people to watch.It is said that there is a fairy on the cruise ship in Xuezhifang, who likes to wear white silk and satin robes woven from feathers and skirts woven from colorful clouds. Men in the world can make her smile and have no regrets for life.

A person stepped out of the painting boat, not a fairy, but a man with a handsome face.

This man is a bit feminine.

He is dressed in green and has a small cap, which is the attire of an elder from a rich family. He walked out of the boat, ignored everyone, just walked up to Chengyi and Cui Bicheng, bowed deeply, and said, "My master intends to get acquainted with the two young masters. ?”

Cheng Yi lowered her head and said nothing.

The crutch in Cui Bicheng's hand tapped against the bluestones on the embankment, and laughed, "The willow's palm print, Mr. Liu! What are you doing here if you're not showing off your prestige in the prison of ceremonies? Why are you pretending to be the elder of an ordinary noble family? No..." Old Cui lowered his voice and approached, "He's here?"

The handsome man smiled, "The master is here, and the servants are naturally there too. Master Hou has worked."

"Oh~~~"

This sound made Cui Bicheng hum in a cadence, like catkins fluttering, and like the aroma of some pepper, cumin, and chili noodles. It is not clear what complex flavor it is.

Then he smiled, held a cane in one hand, waved the other hand, and said, "Hanging flower gun."

Seeing more and more people around, Cheng Yi knew that she couldn't stay here for a long time, so she followed Liu Congrong dressed as an old man into the painting boat.

This painting boat has a three-story wooden building, and all the wooden beams are carved with complicated patterns, from Fu Lu Shou to Nanhai Xiantao, and Yingzhou mist, all kinds of allusions.The wood here is all golden nanmu, which inevitably has some subtle fragrance and vague mist, which is even more fairy-like in the vast South Lake.

Liu Congrong let Chengyi and the others in according to the ancient etiquette thousands of years ago. Chengyi asked him, "Why is he here? I didn't tell him that he was coming here today. Also, what happened to this Xuezhifang?" What? It won't be his cover all the time, right? "

Liu Congrong, "The master orders, the servants just do as they please, the servants don't know about anything else."

This painting boat is really good, not to mention anything else, there is a big copper tripod inside, which is filled with crushed ice which is rare in this season, and covered with layers of lotus, so that the whole cabin has a refreshing lotus smell .

There are three wooden tables in the house, and people must sit on their knees according to ancient rituals.

There is already a person sitting behind the wooden table in the middle, dressed in white, the top of the hair is fastened with only a hosta, and the long hair like ink splashes is spread out on the back, just like in the mountains and forests, those monkey kings have long hair on their backs. miscellaneous hair.

Ok……

Cui Bicheng thought so.

In fact, the attire of this person in front of him is the most fashionable attire for those literati and scholar-officials at the moment. There is a bit of a chic taste of wearing straw sandals, retiring to forests and springs, playing piano and reciting poems, but Cui Bicheng doesn't like this person in front of him very much. , so no matter how you look at him, he looks like a monkey in Mount Emei.

Chengyi came in, looked at the wooden case, compared left and right, and finally decided to sit cross-legged on the ground like a farmer in Ranzhuang. Cui Bicheng thought about it, he dragged his lame leg, kneeling was too much torture, So he also sat on the ground, the man smiled, "It seems to be my negligence, but the shad that you invite people to eat is not a seat. Come, Cui Aiqing have a taste, this is the shad that Pei Tan sent from the East China Sea. Fish, the fish I cut open myself, should not disappoint Qing."

Emperor Yuanxi went to Cui Bicheng's wooden table with a three-inch jade plate filled with cherry-colored fish.

Old Cui felt a little pain.

He rolled his eyes without a trace, but respectfully, took the jade plate with both hands, and held it carefully like holding his son.

Isn't there a saying that people have to bow their heads under the low eaves?

The whole world belongs to him Wen Zhan, no matter how tough he is, but his ancestors will not live up to it, so ah, let's just do it.

On the emerald green jade board is the fat-like cherry-colored fish meat, with the smell of Huadiao. Cui Bicheng picked up a piece with his fingers and looked at it. The thickness is just right, allowing the fish to taste, but not letting the seasoning take away the deliciousness of the shad. , It seems that the sword is very good.People in the world only knew that the emperor used a sword, but they didn't expect that he was also good at picking up a kitchen knife.

Over there, Emperor Yuanxi held the jade plate as if he was holding his own son, leaned in front of Chengyi, picked a piece of fish and brought it to Chengyi's mouth, and said with a smile, "Have a taste?"

It's too intimate, hey~~ Cui Bicheng suddenly felt sour in his mouth, as if his teeth had been sour.

The fish meat was sliced ​​extremely carefully, as if even the hairy fish bones were removed, cut into the most suitable size and fed to Chengyi's mouth.

As for?

Old Cui thought, if Emperor Yuanxi stopped being emperor one day, he wouldn't starve to death, and he would be a good cook.

After eating the fish that should only be found in the sky, the nanmu painting boat swam to the west bank, and everyone abandoned the boat and landed. In front of them was a small yard with blue tiles and white walls, and a few plantains were planted outside.All the things in the room are available, there is a pair of clouds on the wooden table over there in the tea room, if it is not put away, it is a mess.

Cui Bicheng squeezed the crutch in his hand, and suddenly there was a kind of delicate sadness of "a sound of wuye, a sound of autumn, a little plantain and a little sorrow, after the third watch, the lanterns are falling, the chess is not closed, and the new harvest is drowned".

You don't have to think about it, you know what's going on in that room.

He was sitting on a rattan chair, drinking the top-quality oolong that was only available to Ouchi, and fiddling with the cloud in front of him, crackling, and he seemed to hear the sound of the abacus beads again, once, twice, three or four times...

Wen Zhan took a set of new silk robes and put them on the couch, and asked Chengyi, "After running for a day, it's covered in smoke and dust, do you want to change your clothes?"

Cheng Yi wiped her face with a cloth towel, wiped her neck, and twisted a hot towel for Wen Zhan to wipe her face as well.

"No, just take off your coat. You don't need to change it. Save this dress for tomorrow."

After his face was wiped clean, Wen Zhan suddenly asked, "If I don't come, are you planning to elope with Cui Bicheng? Play outside for three or five days and not come back?"

"No." Cheng Yi was thirsty, and was making tea in a large bowl with a silver bottle, "Even if I run away, I will take you with me."

Wen Zhan laughed happily, "Liar, if you really elope, you won't take me with you."

"how come?"

"Why not? You must have brought your baby, your adulterer, bank notes, and even steamed buns, well, maybe even cucumbers, and those pots and pans you like, there is no room for me .”

"Then you can make a fur skin. Take it wherever you go, but you are the emperor, and the emperor cannot leave Yongjing."

"Even the emperor can't do without you."

……

"Ok, I know."

"So, if you really want to elope, just elope with me."

"Nonsense."

A rare moment of leisure in floating life.

If Cui Bicheng in that room is not counted, Wen Zhan really feels that he has eloped with Chengyi.

There are green mountains and green waters here, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Even doing that at night seems to make me feel much happier.He hugged Chengyi from behind, and moved slowly in a very comfortable hugging posture, stroking his fingers along Chengyi's back one by one.There were some fine scars on Chengyi's back, which had healed up a lot after years passed, leaving only flesh-colored marks.

Wen Zhan took a bite with his teeth, his chest trembled, and his enthusiasm swept over everything.

Picking up the sweaty Chengyi from the bed, "Going to take a bath?"

"No."

"Then, do it again?"

"No."

"What do you want?"

"sleep."

Actually can't sleep.The two of them lay side by side, looking at the moonlight shining in from the outside, they felt as if they were so quiet that they were forever.

Wen Zhan thought about it, and suddenly said, "If you want to come out to play in the future, don't look for Cui Bicheng, he has bad legs and needs to rest."

"okay."

"Really?"

"real."

The young emperor felt relieved for a while, and then he heard Cheng Yi say, "Then I went to Kunlun Mountain, and I heard that Xiao Yin and the others found a jade vein. I just used whole jade to plan a wardrobe..."

Boom!

The emperor's head hit the edge of the bed.
