princess is everywhere

Anyang dragged Xu Mu to the streets for a day, but she couldn't buy the token of love she was thinking of, but he also bought a lot of gifts to bring back to Beijing.Not only for the emperor's brother, but also for the emperor's wife, nephews and nieces, thinking that if her emperor's brother is really angry, it can't be coaxed, and the emperor's wife can help her talk, blow the wind on the pillow and so on. .

After spending the whole day shopping, they felt a little tired when they returned home, but both of them were clearly in a good mood.

Today's Anyang is like a little girl who let herself go, without the reserved and calm that the eldest princess should have.She was carrying two gift boxes in one hand, and holding Xu Mu's arm in the other, walking briskly towards home, gossiping while walking.

Xu Mu was carrying more gift boxes than Anyang, and in his arms was the jade hairpin that Anyang gave her, with a slight smile on his lips.She heard that Anyang said some things, sometimes she could pick up the conversation, sometimes she couldn't.But it doesn't matter, she listens carefully to what Anyang says, and her occasional responses are enough to satisfy Anyang, and she can continue the topic.

The two walked home in the setting sun, the golden light shone down on the ground, and two intimate long shadows were drawn behind them.

As he was walking, Anyang suddenly raised his finger to a wine shop on the street and said to Xu Mu: "Look, Mu, my peach blossom brewing is taught by the master teacher of this wine shop. And this wine shop, don't worry about it." It seems that this shop is small, but it has been open for 20 years, and the wine it sells is even more famous in Lucheng, even the wines of the largest Piaoxianglou in the city can't compare."

Xu Mu followed Anyang's direction, and the destination was an old wine shop.The words "Wuji Liquor Shop" are hung on the head of the shop. There are not many customers in the shop, and it looks like the most common wine shop on the street.

But Xu Mu believed Anyang's words, because he could smell the faint aroma of wine even from a long distance away.

Xu Mu is not a drinker, but he has drank a lot in the military camp for a long time.Immediately she nodded and said: "I smell the aroma of wine, it's really good, His Highness's peach blossom wine must be good wine too."

Anyang laughed when he heard the words, his chin was raised slightly, with a bit of obvious pride - the wine she specially found a master to teach, and spent so much time brewing, is naturally a good wine.

It's a pity that the time is too short, and her peach blossom wine is still undrinkable.

Thinking of this, Anyang felt a little regretful, and also a little bit of anticipation and itching.Then she looked up and saw the wine shop opposite, suddenly an idea came to her mind, she dragged Xu Mu to the wine shop.

Before Xu Mu could ask, Anyang said: "My peach blossom brewing was taught by this master, but unfortunately I can't drink it yet. But there must be good brewed wine in the wine shop. Why don't you go buy some and taste it first, and you can drink it sooner." Some people know what my wine tastes like."

Xu Mu wants to say that this is different, even if it is the same recipe, the taste of the brewed wine may be different.But seeing Anyang's enthusiastic expression, she didn't say such disappointing words, but nodded in agreement and said: "Okay, let's try His Highness's craftsmanship in advance."

After Anyang was recognized, his steps became more brisk, and he dragged Xu Mu into the wine shop.

The shopkeeper of the wine shop is not the master who taught Anyang how to make wine. The master is indeed very old, and now he has passed the craft on to his children and grandchildren.If Anyang hadn't wanted the best master and was willing to pay a high price, he really wouldn't be able to invite anyone.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man who didn't know Anyang well, so he asked with a smile, "What do you two want?"

An Yang glanced over the shopkeeper, and saw that behind him were all large and small wine jars, the big ones were placed on the ground as high as half a person, and the small ones were only slapped on the shelf, and he didn't know how many wine jars there were.However, she was not interested in the wine beside her, so she said immediately: "I want to buy some peach blossom wine, do you have any brewed wine here?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper turned around and took down a small wine bottle from the shelf. It wasn't the smallest, but it was only about half a catty in weight: "Young lady, you came to the right place. The peach blossom wine in my shop is also famous, so of course I have it."

Anyang's eyes lit up, but he felt that the wine bottle brought by the shopkeeper was a bit small, so he said, "This is too little, I want another bottle."

Naturally, the shopkeeper didn't think the customer bought too much, so he turned around and took another bottle and put it on the counter, but he still reminded: "My family's peach blossom wine is not weak. If you want to drink it, you should try it a little."

From Anyang's point of view, fruit wine and flower brewing are not intoxicating, and he doesn't take it too seriously.She casually pointed to the side, pointed at Xu Mu and asked the shopkeeper: "If she drinks it, is it just a taste?"

The shopkeeper looked at Xu Mu when he heard the words, and saw that although she looked as handsome as a good girl, her temperament was not weak.The shopkeeper has met many people of all kinds, so he naturally knows the truth that people should not be judged by their appearance, so he smiled and didn't answer the question immediately, which is obviously a different attitude from the previous one to persuade Anyang.

Seeing this, Anyang snorted softly, didn't say anything more, picked up the two bottles of peach blossom wine and left.

Xu Mu paid for the drink, stepped up to catch up, and reached out to pick up the wine bottle that Anyang was carrying: "Let me do it."

Anyang dodged away, the two bottles of wine were not heavy, she carried all the things in one hand, and still held Xu Mu's arm with the free hand.The two of them left the wine shop, and she wrinkled her nose and complained to Xu Mu: "You and I are the same, this shopkeeper judges people by their appearance. Next time I change into men's clothing to buy wine, see if he still talks about me Poor drinker."

Xu Mu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and wanted to reach out and touch the head of the eldest princess, thinking that she was really cute at this time.

****************************************************************************

It was nearly May, and it was summer, but the weather was still cool.

Xu Mu and Anyang went out for a day of shopping today, and it was late when they returned home, and they even delayed their dinner.After dinner, it was already dark outside, only the dim light of the lanterns in the small courtyard.

After dinner, Anyang suggested going out for a walk, but when the two of them walked into the yard, she muttered, "This yard is really small."

The courtyards with two entrances were originally only used to accommodate Anyang alone, and they couldn't be more spacious than those that lived with a large family.But everything needs to be compared. If the two courtyards are compared with Yongning Palace, the Princess Mansion under construction in Anyang, or the palace where she grew up, of course they are so small that there is no place for a walk. .

Of course, ordinary people would not choose to take a walk at home, it is more spacious to go out for a walk.

Xu Mu naturally knew that what Anyang said was not a complaint, she was just not used to it.Just as he was about to suggest that the two of them go out for a walk, Anyang changed the subject and said again: "I don't know how long the matter here will be delayed, and there is no rush on the way back to Beijing, so you can walk slowly. This way again and again It's been a few months, maybe when I go back, my princess mansion will be almost built."

There was a bit of joy in Anyang's tone.Although she is not yet married and will not completely move out of the palace, she can stay outside after the Princess Mansion is completed.When the time comes, she will live in the princess' mansion if she wants to live in the princess mansion, and stay in the general's mansion if she wants to stay in the general's mansion. She is really happy to think about it.

Xu Mu looked sideways at her smiling eyebrows, and he could guess what she was thinking, and was actually happy in his heart.

Seeing that Xu Mu didn't speak, Anyang shook her arm, and suggested in a low voice: "When I go back, how about we open a small door on the courtyard wall?" Big enough for one person to pass by.”

Hearing this, Xu Mu immediately thought of the courtyard wall separating the two families. Don’t think she climbed the wall easily last time, but in fact the wall is quite high, and it’s really not as convenient to open a small door as a ladder. ... She was thinking about it and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why did she feel like the two of them were having an affair, and immediately coughed unnaturally, and said, "There's no need to do this. In a few months, we should get married."

Anyang didn't take it seriously, he waved his hand and said, "Open the small door first, and we'll tear down the wall after we get married. When the two houses are merged into one, the yard will be bigger. I want to dig a bigger pond." When the lotus blooms, you can row a boat to pick them. When the lotus pods are ripe, you can pick them. By the way, there are still some fish in the pond. Are you patient? When the fish grow up, we can still go together fishing……"

She babbled a lot, looking excited, planning the future of the two of them bit by bit.

Xu Mu listened carefully, following her description bit by bit, only felt that the vacancy about "home" in her heart was filled bit by bit in Anyang's narration.The corner of her mouth unconsciously raised a smile, and there was a bit of longing in her eyes.

Anyang became interested while talking, and didn't want to go for a walk to digest food, so he pulled Xu Mu and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.She looked up at the night sky, and saw stars twinkling in the dark sky, and the bright moon hanging high in the sky, softly sprinkled some moonlight, illuminating the places where the lights couldn't reach... Tomorrow will be a fine and sunny day, but it won't be too late The moonlight is moving tonight.

Thinking of something, Anyang turned and went back to the room, took out the peach blossom wine he just bought in the evening, and held two small wine cups in his other hand: "The moon is beautiful tonight, we can chat while drinking."

Xu Mu raised his head and glanced at the bright moon in the sky, then at the beautiful girl under the moonlight, his heart moved slightly.

Anyang didn't pay attention to Xu Mu's expression at this moment. She took out the wine bottle and tossed about for a long time, but she couldn't open the wine.In the end, Xu Mu couldn't see it, so he took the wine bottle, opened it in two or three strokes, and poured out two cups of pink wine.Such a color of wine cannot be made from peach blossoms alone, Anyang looked at the beautiful color and explained: "This peach blossom wine is mixed with other flowers to make it look nice."

Xu Mu nodded, she had never seen such a color of wine, it was indeed very beautiful.After reading it, she picked up the wine cup and smelled it, and took another sip. The wine was not too strong, with a hint of peach blossom fragrance, and it was soft and soft in the mouth.

"This wine is really good, Your Highness can try it." Xu Mu praised.

Anyang smiled and narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, as if the bottle of peach blossom wine in front of him came from her hands, there was a little pride in the corners of his eyes and brows.Then she picked up the wine cup and took a sip, tasted the taste: "This wine is soft and light, how can it be intoxicating?!"

The eldest princess is also a bit competitive in her bones, and she has not forgotten the contempt of the shopkeeper of the wine shop, and she completely forgot about the other party after saying this sentence.She took another sip of the wine, and then continued to say to Xu Mu enthusiastically: "This wine tastes good, Amu, do you like it? If you like it, I will make it for you in the future."

Xu Mu said he liked it, so Anyang waved his hand and made a new plan for their home: "From now on, we will plant another peach blossom at home. When the flowers bloom, we will pick them to make wine."

Anyang talked about the future with great interest, Xu Mu's gaze fell on her and he couldn't take it away.

Maybe the moonlight is just right tonight, maybe it’s because Anyang is so charming at this moment, feeling the beating heart in his chest, it’s the first time for Xu Mu to be so clearly aware of his feelings for this person—it’s not reluctance, nostalgia, or love. The warmth born of companionship, but true love, is the heartbeat of wanting to be with her forever.

Fortunately, before Xu Mu discovered his love, Anyang took her hand first.She has been thinking about it for a long time, and it is already in the other party's future plan.

Hearing Anyang talk about picking flowers to make wine, Xu Mu held her hand on the stone table: "Then plant more peach blossoms, and you can teach me when the time comes, so we can make wine together."
