my princess boy

The next day, the weather finally cleared up again.

Seeing the sun rising again, Mu Xianyi saw that the sun was not particularly warm, but compared to the continuous snowfall, it was still much better. Seeing that the snow was falling cleanly in the back garden of Duke Zhen Guo's mansion, he couldn't help but start collecting snow. thought.What do you do with this snow? ——Put it in an urn and make tea to drink in the spring of the coming year.There is a saying in the book: "When you encounter good snow, you must collect it. Make tea with pine nuts, plum blossoms, and bergamot. It is called Sanqing." Mu Xianyi followed this meaning.

He wore a red satin cloak, and held a celadon teapot, and collected the snow in the back garden himself. Ling Xuetang was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she also helped him, and she also asked Luan Jing and Nuanyu to collect the snow. After a while, the garden became lively, attracting many people. All the servants stopped to watch.

"Snow must be harvested from the cleanest part. The plum blossoms and pine needles are the best." Mu Xianyi said to Ling Xuetang while shaking the pine branches with his own hands, shaking the snow into the tea mug that Ling Xuetang was holding, "Especially the ones on plum blossoms. They are clean and soft. When brewing tea, there is a slight freshness. The taste is really wonderful."

Ling Xuetang saw that his little hands were red from the cold, and his little cheeks were also flushed, but he still smiled, and said, "Princess Qingya is the only one who has such interest and thoughts, so that she is not even afraid of the cold. Like me, I must not I know there are so many things to pay attention to when drinking tea."

Mu Xianyi smiled embarrassedly: "I learned it from my mother and concubine."

"The princess is harvesting snow?"

A voice came from not far away, and when the two looked back, it was Ling Yutang and Yu Wanyan. Today, Yu Wanyan was wearing a light yellow double-breasted gown with coiled patterns embroidered on it, and her black hair was made of agate hairpins. Bundled up, walking with his hands behind his back, his back straight, Ling Yutang next to him was wearing a pale brocade robe embroidered with blue feather patterns, and his elegant and elegant face was also smiling, one of them was gentle and honest, the other was handsome Modesty, walking together is really like Zhilan Yushu.

Yu Wanyan glanced at the tea mug in Ling Xuetang's hand, and said with a smile, "If you want to cure the tea, first hide the water. The princess can be said to be an elegant person who knows the taste of tea."

Mu Xianyi stood up straight, smiled at him and said, "I don't dare to be an elegant person, but Mr. Yu knows that I collect snow water to make tea, so it can be seen that I am a bosom friend."

After hearing this, Ling Yutang pointed at Yuwan and said, "Princess, I don't know. When I first met Wanyan, he loved making tea, tasting wine, watching the moon and playing the piano. It was very elegant."

"So that's it." Mu Xianyi felt that the prediction was really good. This Yu Wanyan is also an elegant person, and for a moment he felt a little bit more about making friends, and said, "It just so happens that the elder brother and Mr. Yu are here, so it's not as good as the four of us." Looking for tea in a small pavilion? What does the concubine say?"

Ling Xuetang smiled at him: "Everything is up to you."

Ling Yutang also said, "Okay."

Yu Wanyan showed a calm smile on his face: "Then it's disrespectful."

The four sat down in the Guansong Pavilion in the northwest corner, and Mu Xianyi asked Luan Jing to cook tea and bring it up:

"Try it, does this tea taste good?"

Both Ling Xuetang and Ling Yutang took a sip, Ling Xuetang said: "The taste is very bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet and mellow."

Ling Yutang frowned slightly, and said: "The fragrance is very strong, and the taste is also strong, which is different from the Longjing and Maojian we usually drink."

After hearing what the two said, Yu Wanyan smiled slightly, put the celadon teacup on the table, and said: "This is Xiuning Songluo, which is characterized by its strong color, strong fragrance and strong taste."

"It turns out to be tea from Huizhou, no wonder we have never drank it before." Ling Yutang said with emotion, looking at the green tea, he couldn't help but take another sip, and praised, "It's better to travel around late and have a lot of knowledge."

"Huizhou is in Dayue, because the two countries are not connected by trade, so I pray that it is difficult for the people to drink pure Songluo tea, but I was lucky enough to drink it once in Yinzhou tea garden." Yu Wanyan explained, and looked at Mu Xianyi , Admiringly said, "But the water the princess uses to make tea is by no means ordinary water, it must be taken from a mountain spring."

Mu Xianyi, who had been listening intently to the conversation of the three of them, raised his lips, his black eyes sparkled: "Young Master Yu really understands tea, this water is the mountain spring water from Yaotai Mountain, I stored it in an urn, It is only used when meeting distinguished guests.”

Yu Wanyan hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Princess is serious, I dare not take it seriously."

But Mu Xianyi said with a playful smile: "It's okay, you are a friend of eldest brother, that is, a friend of me and my son-in-law." He looked at Ling Xuetang and smiled, and said, "Fortunately, you are a man. If you are a woman, drink up." The tea in my government's government will be the daughter-in-law of my country's government!"

Ordinary people's weddings are based on tea, and men are hired, which is also called "sending tea". Therefore, ordinary women are not allowed to drink tea from other people's homes lightly. Xianyi's words were punned, making fun of Yu Wanyan. The two brothers of the Ling family laughed, especially Ling Yutang, who smiled brightly. He patted Yu Wanyan on the shoulder and said:

"If Wanyan was a woman, I would have married him when I was in Yangzhou!"

Yu Wanyan blushed, she was a little uneasy, and said: "Don't make fun of me."

Seeing his appearance, Mu Xianyi narrowed him down even more, and said, "I don't know if Young Master Yu has ever been engaged? There are several younger sisters in my family, all of whom are golden branches and jade leaves, and their appearance is as beautiful as the country..."

Yu Wan blushed and smiled when she heard the words, but she didn't leave any room for her words: "Thank you princess for your kindness, I am a wanderer in the world, I am used to being alone, I have no intention of marrying a wife and having children."

As she spoke, she turned her face to look at Ling Yutang, Ling Yutang was looking at him and smiling at this time, the two looked at each other, the smile on Yu Wanyan's lips faded slightly, and she turned her face away again.

Seeing this, Ling Yutang hurriedly said with a smile: "Princess, stop making fun of him, he really can't deal with the matter of love for his children."

Then Mu Xianyi smiled and said: "Okay, come on, you guys drink tea." Then he said, "It's rare to have half a day to spare, but watching snow and tasting tea is really better than ten years of dusty dreams."

Compared with intrigue, you come and go, and swords and swords to seize power, it is a rare blessing to be able to watch snow and tea with friends.

Yu Wan heard the words and said: "It's rare to have such a beautiful day, why don't I play a song for you to entertain your eyes and ears."

Ling Yutang said casually: "Wanyan is the best to play the piano if you are interested. The princess is also a good player in the piano, so I don't think she can play the piano against a cow."

As soon as this remark came out, both Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang laughed, and Mu Xianyi joked: "No, if Young Master Yu can play the piano and play Flying Daggers, the son-in-law must also understand."

Everyone laughed together.

After laughing, Yu Wanyan fetched her own piano, sat alone, and played for the three of them.

Mu Xianyi saw that his qin was a high-quality sword-style qin, with broken patterns of plum blossoms on it, and it was made of high-quality paulownia wood. The hand-cutting technique of the qin was very similar to that of the Lei family in Shu, so he suspected that it was a famous qin from the Tang Dynasty. "Feng Xisheng".

When Yu Wanyan flicked it, the sound quality was ancient, transparent, smooth, round, clear and fragrant, and it was indeed Feng Xi's voice.

Yu Wanyan played "Pingsha Luoyan", because it is a well-known piece widely circulated, and everyone present knows that he played it wonderfully. There is a bit more masculine ambition, and even Ling Xuetang can't help but feel a little more admiration on his face after hearing this.

After the song was over, Yu Wanyan lightly held down the strings, raised her head and said with a smile to the crowd, "You're showing your ugliness."

Mu Xianyi praised and said: "You are not showing your ugliness here, you are clearly here to show off your skills."

Ling Xuetang couldn't help but smile when she heard this, propped her chin on one hand, looked at her little wife slightly sideways, and said, "Since that's the case, why don't Xuanxuan also play the song 'Show Your Ugly'?"

Mu Xianyi hurriedly said: "How dare you, Mr. Yu's Qin is the famous Tang Dynasty Qin 'Feng Xisheng', you can't get it easily, if I break it, I'm afraid I have to sell you to pay for it."

Everyone laughed again, Yu Wan said, "It's just a dead thing, why don't you come and try it, princess? The master's hand, the princess, does not disgrace its reputation."

Mu Xianyi didn't hold back, she pulled her skirt generously and got up, and said to Ling Yutang: "Brother, if the bomb breaks later, you have to stop Young Master Yu."

Ling Yutang laughed loudly: "Definitely, Princess, don't worry, if the bomb breaks, you don't need Xuetang to pay, I will pay him."

Yu Wanyan sat down next to Ling Yutang, also smiled, and said: "Okay, the princess is playing randomly, I will wait for the Duke's mansion to pay Yutang to me."

While talking and joking, Mu Xianyi sat in front of the piano, first played a few notes casually, and praised her, then he started to get serious.

He played "Flowing Water", but the sound of the piano did not show the emotion of the little girl, it was a bit more like a man looking for the joy of hearing the sound.The other three sat quietly, quietly listening to each other, and their faces were in a state of ecstasy.

That's all, Mu Xianyi stood up calmly, brushed away the black hair that fell down her shoulders, and smiled at everyone as if relaxed, "How is it?"

Ling Xuetang answered first: "Xuanxuan's playing is naturally wonderful."

Yu Wanyan also said: "The princess has a lofty outlook and a masculine heroism."

Ling Yutang's eyes had been on Yu Wanyan's side face all the time, and only now did he look away, and said: "You two are on equal footing, it's rare that Xuetang and I have such a good time."

Mu Xianyi smiled and said: "You guys really know how to praise people." He walked back to his seat, drank a sip of hot tea, and asked, "I saw Mr. Yu wearing a sword earlier. Could it be that Mr. Yu is also good at martial arts?" ?”

Before Yu Wanyan could speak, Ling Yutang had already opened his mouth and said, "Wanyan is both civil and military. I was with him in Yangzhou earlier, and he was also a hero, repelling a group of robbers who blocked the road and robbed money."

Mu Xianyi said "Oh", and looked at his son-in-law with great interest: "Why don't you compete with Mr. Yu too, so that we can feast our eyes?"

"Xuanxuan wants to see, of course I can." Ling Xuetang said, looking at Yu Wanyan, Yu Wanyan smiled helplessly:

"Today, the princess and the son-in-law's husband and wife probably came to find fault with me, taking turns to compete with me."

Ling Yutang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to bear the burden." He also told Ling Xuetang, "You have been on the battlefield for many years, and you know that swords have no eyes, so don't hurt Wanyan."

Ling Xuetang let out a "hmm".

Mu Xianyi on the side rested his chin in his hands, and didn't look at his son-in-law, but looked at Ling Yutang and Yu Wanyan, and saw that Ling Yutang thoughtfully rolled up Yu Wanyan's sleeves, and Yu Wanyan was standing there with a pair of eyes Looking at Ling Yutang who rolled up his sleeves, I wonder if it was Mu Xianyi's illusion, he seemed to see the tenderness in Yu Wanyan's eyes?

While watching, he suddenly remembered that the two of them acted more like husband and wife than he and Ling Xuetang, and couldn't help but look up at Ling Xuetang again, but Ling Xuetang didn't pay attention to his elder brother and Yu Wanyan, and only smiled at Mu Xianyi , Mu Xianyi also smiled at him, and said:

"My son-in-law must go all out, and I will give you a reward if you win."

Ling Xuetang raised her eyebrows: "What reward?" Seeing Mu Xianyi blushing after speaking, she smiled knowingly and said, "Then you are ready."

Mu Xianyi's face became even hotter.

The four of them chose an open space in the back garden, but Ling Xuetang and Yu Wanyan gestured away.

Both of them use swords, Yu Wanyan's movements are chic and nimble, and he is like a gentleman like him, Ling Xuetang is more fierce, with the domineering and fierceness unique to generals, but it can be seen that both of them are masters, and they have been entangled for a while. After fighting for several rounds, the sound of swords colliding was like a jingle like clear spring water.

Standing on the sidelines and looking at the two of them, Mu Xianyi felt that for some reason, their figures and eyebrows were somewhat similar. If not for their completely different temperaments, they would be more like brothers than Ling Yutang and Ling Xuetang.

After about a cup of tea, Yu Wanyan was a little inattentive and showed a flaw, which was spotted by Ling Xuetang at a glance, and the victory was decided in a blink of an eye.

The two fell on the ground, Yu Wanyan panted slightly, bowed her hands to Ling Xuetang, and said: "Thank you for your mercy."

Ling Xuetang had an appreciative smile on her face: "Stop being so polite, I'll accept it."

Yu Wanyan raised her head and looked at Ling Xuetang with admiration and satisfaction in her eyes: "The son-in-law is indeed a young and promising general, the Duke's Mansion has cultivated a pillar of talent for the country!"

Ling Xuetang's smile dimmed when she heard this, "I'm not a general anymore."

When Yu Wanyan heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she returned to normal, just smiled lightly, and said nothing more.

Mu Xianyi was listening to the two talking, and when he heard Ling Xuetang say "I'm not a general anymore", he felt a little uncomfortable, smiling on his face, but thinking in his heart, in the future, he must have a good talk with his father and fight for the future. Let the son-in-law become a general again!

……

Lamp time.

Yu Wanyan was wiping her sword under the lamp when she suddenly heard knocking on the door.

"Please come in."

It was indeed Ling Yutang.

Seeing him wiping the sword, Ling Yutang saw that the sword was shining brightly, shining brightly into his eyes, smiled, and said, "Wiping your Qingfeng sword again?"

"I have nothing to do, I'm afraid it will get rusty." Yu Wanyan said, watching him take a seat beside her, she also raised her lips and smiled, "Why do you come to me when you have time?"

Ling Yutang said: "I have some food left after dinner, I think you must be awake, why don't I come over and talk to you."

Yu Wanyan's gentle and handsome face was illuminated by the dim light, her expression became more gentle with a smile: "It's cold, wouldn't it be better to go to bed earlier and rest?"

"Why, you don't welcome me?" Ling Yutang raised her eyebrows.

Yu Wanyan laughed out loud, put the sword into its sheath, and said: "Naturally welcome, I'm afraid your wife will complain."

As soon as Zhen Shi was mentioned, the smile on Ling Yutang's face turned into a chill, and he just said, "Don't mention her."

"What's wrong?" Yu Wan looked at him puzzled, "Look at your complexion is not very good."

Ling Yutang just shook his head: "It doesn't matter if you don't mention it." Then he said, "Let's talk about you. I haven't seen you for a long time, but you haven't changed at all. You are still so chic and gentle."

Yu Wan said with a calm smile: "You too, you are still a gentleman, although you marry a wife and have children, but you are more mature."

After the two finished speaking, they couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled.

The surroundings are silent, only the sound of the heavy snow crushing the branches, and the light flickers slightly, making the shadows in the room more and more strange.

Yu Wan thought of something, secretly raised her lips, then suddenly got up and blew out the oil lamp on the table.

"Wanyan?" Ling Yutang opened his mouth in surprise, but found a slightly cool hand covering his own. In the darkness, Yu Wanyan's voice was teasing:

"'Shen Shen became more anxious, and gradually the voice died out. Blowing out the lamp, the window is brighter, and the moon shines on the snow all day'. How, when the lamp is turned off, does the window become brighter?"

Ling Yutang looked out the window, and sure enough, she saw the bright snow and moonlight reflected on the window, which made the room even more transparent.

There happened to be a beeping sound outside, which coincided with the scene written in this poem.

Ling Yutang was almost intoxicated in the cold window of the snowy moon, and said in a low voice: "Wan Yan, it's good to be with you."

Except for Yu Wanyan, almost no one has ever been like him, watching the snow and admiring the moon, reciting poems and playing chess. In the past, although the Zhen family was gentle and considerate, but after all, he had never studied, so he rarely had such romantic elegance.

When Yu Wanyan heard his emotion, she only smiled lightly and said nothing.

Ling Yutang stretched out her hand again, placed the hand that was on her own, held it in her palm, and said, "Wanyan, why is your hand so cold? Why don't you add some more clothes?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Yu Wanyan. After his eyes adapted to the darkness, he was able to see the indoor scene clearly - he saw Yu Wanyan sitting there with half of his face in the shadows. There is still half of the face illuminated, with slender eyebrows, clear and hot black eyes, and bright red lips that slant up.

In the interlacing of black and white, the touch of red is particularly stunning.

It was so beautiful that Ling Yutang was startled.
