There is no phoenix

A few people chatted and laughed and came to the racecourse of Wangfu, and picked out horses. Shui Rong and Feng Ziying were still a little worried, so they asked Miaoyu, Daiyu and Xichun to ride a few laps on the racecourse, and saw that the three of them had indeed ridden their horses. Be calm, and then lead the horse out together.

After leaving the Beijing Prince's Mansion, Feng Ziying looked at it and said, "Young Prince, can you take them there?"

Shui Rong thought for a while and said, "Ziying, let me go to the estuary of the Yunxi River in Dongcheng. You can see the view of the three rivers pouring into the canal. This year is warm and the river is not frozen. Let's go there and come back."

Miaoyu said: "Brother Rong, is it not far from there?"

Shui Rong said: "It's not far. An hour to go back and forth is enough."

Daiyu said: "Brother Rong, don't go too far away, my fourth sister and I will go back later."

Shui Rong said: "Didn't you mean to go back after dinner?"

Daiyu hurriedly said: "We'd better go back to have dinner, it's too late to go back after dinner, I'm afraid my grandmother will worry about my fourth sister and me, besides, sister Miaoyu will also go back to the palace, right?"

Shui Rong said: "What is it? Shui'an will send you back."

Miaoyu said: "Sister Lin, Fourth Miss, forget it, we'll go back together after dinner, let them send it off, it's not easy to come out once, let's have fun!"

Daiyu thought about it, and seeing that Xichun was also happy, she nodded and smiled, "Okay, let's have fun!"

For a while, several people rode their horses towards Yunxi in the east city.

Shui Rong rode in front, Feng Ziying rode behind, because it was the first time for Miaoyu and Daiyu Xichun to go out on horseback, Shui Rong and Feng Ziying didn't dare to ride too fast.

Although it was winter, Miaoyu, Daiyu and Xichun didn't feel the cold at all.It was the first time they galloped freely in the suburbs, and the three of them were indescribably excited.Especially Xichun, who has walked outside freely in countless dreams, and now that his wish is finally fulfilled, he feels an indescribable excitement in his heart.

The vegetation in the outskirts has become desolate due to the weather at this time, and occasionally there are busy farmers walking by in the field.Daiyu said: "There is no one growing rapeseed in the fields here. If it were in the south of us, the rapeseed in the field is now in full bloom. By the first month, the whole field will be golden, which is really beautiful, but it is a pity that there is no such thing here."

Shui Rong turned back and smiled, "Sister Daiyu, everything you said about the south is good, I will go to the south sometime to see if the south is as good as it is."

Feng Ziying said: "My young lord, you don't know that Miss Lin is not lying. You and Miss Four have never been to the south. I know that the south is really good, and the four seasons have their own characteristics."

Miaoyu was a little surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly asked: "You said Brother Rong has never been to the south, could it be that you have been to the south?"

Feng Ziying said: "Of course, my mother is from Jinling. I have been to Jinling three or four times, and I have seen it with my own eyes. One year we celebrated the New Year in Jinling. I think the most beautiful thing in the south is spring. Makes people linger."

Shui Rong said: "You all say that the South is so good, I really want to go and see it, I have never been to the South."

Daiyu said: "Beautiful flowers bloom in spring, blue lotus and the fragrance of melons and fruits in summer, golden osmanthus in autumn, and snowy plums blooming in winter. They are very different from the north. The first month is too cold here, and we go everywhere in Gusu during the first month." It's the flow of people who appreciate plum blossoms."

Miaoyu said: "The mountain behind Panxiang Temple is full of red plums. There is absolutely no such landscape in this capital."

Shui Rong said: "I'm really moved when you say that. Sister Daiyu, I don't know when your Uncle Lin Zhong will come? Why don't I accompany you back to Gusu after the Chinese New Year, and then let Uncle Lin Zhong go back to the capital together. Wouldn't it be better?"

Daiyu said: "But Mammy Wang said that Uncle Lin Zhong would come to the capital after the fifteenth day, and she also said that she would go back to Gusu before my birthday. Uncle Lin must have left Gusu for the capital in the second and third year of junior high."

Shui Rong said: "Then when Uncle Lin comes, I will accompany you to Gusu. Is it fun to go south in February and March?"

Miaoyu laughed and said, "Brother Rong Wang has never heard the phrase 'Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March'? February and March in the south is the world of flowers, where early warblers compete for warm trees, and whose house's new swallows chase spring mud. In the south The most distinctive scenery, the most worth seeing in February and March.”

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Stop talking about it, if you keep talking, the thing that the young prince wants to do most in the next year may be to go to Gusu."

Daiyu said: "I also want to go back to Gusu to have a look. It's been five years since the Chinese New Year, and I haven't been back to visit. I want to visit my parents' graves, and my grandparents' graves. And my family. I don’t know if the old house is the same as before.”

Everyone was talking and laughing, and after a while, they arrived at the place where Shui Rong said.Feng Ziying said: "There hasn't been heavy snowfall this year, or the riverbed is now covered with ice."

Miaoyu said: "When I came to the suburbs, I felt very relaxed. No wonder the villagers, they live to be 80 or [-] years old, they are still healthy and healthy. They are open-minded every day, and their health naturally improves."

Daiyu said: "It's true. Sister Miaoyu, you have also seen that Grandma Liu, who is five or six years older than my grandmother. I heard that she still grows crops. You ask the fourth sister, the last time she came to the house, With his grandson Ban'er, the two of them brought hundreds of catties of dried fruits, vegetables and grain into the city, and said that she would go to work in the fields all year round."

Xichun said: "I read a book that Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty, often traveled to the mountains and rivers, and even climbed mountains and mountains to collect medicines. He lived to be more than 100 years old."

Daiyu said: "So there are gains and losses in life. Every day is not necessarily a good thing."

Miaoyu said with a smile: "Sister Lin said that, does it mean that she also wants to learn farming in the future?"

Daiyu said: "I don't know how to farm. But if I have my own residence, I will ask someone to build a fish pond and plant lotus flowers. It is best to have a few acres of land, plant some rice, vegetables, flowers and trees, and raise a few chickens, ducks and geese." , should be possible."

Xichun smiled and said, "Sister Lin wants to make the place where she will live in the future like Daoxiang Village where sister-in-law Lan'er and the others live."

Daiyu said: "Yes, wouldn't it be a joy to have such a place to cultivate one's mind and nature?"

Miaoyu said: "No wonder sister Lin likes Tao Yuanming's works, the chrysanthemum poems are so well written!"

Daiyu said: "But I can't do what Tao Yuanming said, 'the heart is far away from the self.' You two are better than me at this point."

Xichun pointed to the embankment and laughed, "Sister Miaoyu, Sister Lin, look, there are cows there!"

Several people looked up and saw a cow leading a calf, walking slowly in the afterglow of the setting sun, followed by an old man and a child.

Daiyu smiled and said, "The shepherd has already driven the calf back, but no hunting horse brought back the poultry. I think it's time for us to go back."

Shui Rong said: "Seeing how enthusiastically you guys are talking, it's okay to watch for a while."

Daiyu asked, "Brother Rong, does that big river flow into the Grand Canal?"

Shui Rong said: "Yes, this section is the East Gate Ferry."

Daiyu said: "So, the water here may also flow through Yangzhou and Gusu?"

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Most of this river water must flow into the Grand Canal, and the Grand Canal will eventually pass through Yangzhou and Gusu, and then reach the East China Sea."

Everyone looked at it for a while, and Miaoyu said: "The sun is setting, we should go back. After a while, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang may think we are lost."

Shui Rong said with a smile: "If the two of us bring you out, if you get lost, wouldn't that be a joke?"

So several people turned their horses' heads, still talking and laughing, they returned to Beijing Palace.

After returning to the palace, Princess Beijing was really looking for someone. After everyone washed their faces and hands, they returned to the flower hall. The princess said: "It's cold outside, thank you for not being afraid, eat something quickly, don't starve."

Miaoyu smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, I ate a lot at noon, so I'm not hungry."

Shui Rong said: "You guys sit here for a while, I'll take sister Daiyu to my room to have a look, come over right away."

After hearing this, Daiyu blushed and looked at Shui Rong.Shui Rong said: "Sister Daiyu, come with me, I left something for you."

Daiyu had no choice but to get up and follow.

Shui Rong led Daiyu to the courtyard where she lived, and said to Daiyu: "Dai'er, come quickly, I'll give you something, you'll definitely like it!"

Shui Rong entered the room, and took down an ornament from her bookshelf, it turned out to be an exquisite white and green jade carving.Shui Rong said: "Dai'er, I know you like bamboo, take a look at this, I brought it out of the palace specially, it was originally given to me by my father."

Daiyu took a look and saw several branches of bamboo carved on it, and a waterfall. According to the color matching of jade, there were also carved mountains and streams. Bifeng.

Daiyu took it in her hand, looked at it carefully, put it on the table, and couldn't help praising: "What a delicate jade carving! I used to have a bamboo ornament and gave it to my third sister. Brother Rong, this is too precious." Well, I'm afraid I'll break it."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "No matter how good something is, if you don't look at it or take it for fear of breaking it, isn't that the same as having nothing?"

Daiyu said: "But this is a reward from the emperor, I can't take it."

Shui Rong stepped forward to hold Daiyu's hand, and said softly: "Dai'er, what is a jade carving, as long as you like it, I will give you anything. Look, the painting you gave me!"

Daiyu looked up at the wall that Shui Rong pointed to, it was the horse she had drawn, and the poem about the horse, and she hurriedly said, "Brother Rong, this horse is not well drawn, it's better to take it down, otherwise people will see it like this." It's a crappy painting, and I'm still laughing at you, the young prince, who has no taste."
