The princess relies on the cat to ascend the throne

Ever since she found out that Le Ning was raising big worm cubs, Ban Xia didn't dare to say in front of Le Ning that she was going to marry her, for fear that if she was not careful, the other party would release the big worm and take her pet as a drink.

Le Ning also allowed her to misunderstand, happy and relaxed, followed his senior brother to stay in this village for a few more days, thinking that it was time to say goodbye, but never thought of getting another answer:

"what?"

Le Ning wondered if he had been bewitched again, why he was so deaf at such a young age that he heard his brother's answer as 'stay'.

Su Hanzhang repeated it in a good-tempered manner: "I want to stay here for a while to study toxicology."

Le Ning breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this reason sounded pretty good. Being taken to the village unreasonably this time has proved that the two of them still lack the ability to protect themselves in the wild, not to mention using poison, but being able to Homemade anesthetics are also great...

She was about to suggest that she also stay for a while, when suddenly someone interrupted:

"And marry me."

Le Ning was startled when he saw Nan Xing who had walked to the door at some point.

marry?

She looked at the elder brother suspiciously, with a bit of worry in her eyes. Seeing that Su Hanzhang's words and deeds were the same as in the past, she couldn't help being shocked in her heart, wondering if this Southwest Gu art is so developed, and she can control it unconsciously. Human body and mind so that people do not know it?

Su Hanzhang showed a bit of helplessness on his face, paused for a while, and then took over Nan Xing's words: "Yes, I... fell in love with Miss Nan at first sight, and because of the death of my parents, I intend to find a matchmaker to come to propose marriage."

Le Ning was completely shocked by the speed of the flash marriage, no matter who the matchmaker was in this remote area.

She stuttered for a long while before remembering to say congratulations to the elder brother.

Then, Le Ning walked out the door in a daze, and almost bumped into the door frame.

inside the house.

Su Hanzhang looked at Nan Xing, complexities appeared on his always gentle face, and he spoke again after a while, with a rare indifference in his tone: "Why is Miss Nan like this? Since she escaped by all means, she just won't go back in this life."

Nan Xing lowered her eyes, her appearance and her mannerisms seemed so abrupt in this isolated village, as if she was supposed to be a superior person.

Hearing Su Hanzhang's words, she rarely smiled, with a hint of indifference flashing across her eyes, then raised her eyes to meet Su Hanzhang:

"Escape? I used to think that as long as I stay away, everything will be fine. Now I know that people like you and me are branded from birth. Escape cannot be escaped. Only by following the trend can you be yourself. Fight for a way out."

"Furthermore, you and I have had a marriage contract since we were young, and now we each have our own needs, so why not help each other?"

Nan Xing's Zhongyuan speaks very well, and Su Hanzhang noticed this when he first met her.

He thought it was because the people in this village had contacts with the Central Plains, but after he came in, he realized that maybe even Banxia’s Central Plains dialect was taught by Nan Xing himself when he had nothing to do. The emperor didn't even know.

After Nan Xing said, Su Hanzhang was silent for a while, and then sighed very lightly, acquiescing to the matter.

……

Le Ning stayed in this village for a long time to observe whether his brother had been bewitched, and after confirming that he was acting as usual, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she thought about the pair of senior brother and Nan Xing.

Su Hanzhang has always had a very comfortable temperament, and seeing it is like a spring breeze. Before Su Hanzhang, Le Ning always thought that this feeling was only found in scholars.

What's even more strange is that Miss Nan Xing's calm and indifferent demeanor, she is generous, and her senior brother is also perfect, the two of them stand together very well.

Le Ning can't fathom the emotions of others, seeing that they agree with each other, he just waits for the wedding wine. During this period, he often goes out to collect herbs with Pinellia, and learns a few herbs from her, and even more The method of concocting can be regarded as quite rewarding.

Su Hanzhang and Nan Xing got married on a summer evening one year later.

Marriage customs in backward villages are very different, adding ceremonies such as gods' prayers and blessings, Nuo dances, and just in time for the birth of Gu King, Le Ning is mixed with a group of fanatical villagers, his face is green from fright, and he misses the modern day crazily. core value.

Just the day after Su Hanzhang got married, she bid farewell.

"Alright, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the northwest any longer. Brother, please be careful when you go. I plan to go to Nanzhao in a few days and then enter Tianzhu. Maybe it will be a few years before I meet you again in Wang'an .” Su Hanzhang had a drink with her, substituting tea for wine.

Le Ning also smiled and replied:

"See you soon."

……

half year later.

north.

Le Ning is walking on the northernmost tip of Dali, almost beyond Lake Baikal, which is about the border between Mongolia and Russia. The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the surrounding fields are open. Because there are Tibetans watching, so there are guards stationed in this northern border city. .

Because of his tender skin, Le Ning wrapped some cloth towels around his head as a sunshade. He went shopping in a market that was rarely opened in the city, and bought some items he needed for walking. Recently, the sesame seeds have been wilted by the heat. I have been hiding in the bamboo basket all day long and refuse to come out.

At noon, Le Ning found a shady place to sit down, took out a clay pot from the back basket, opened it, took out steamed cakes and prepared to eat them casually, but the sour smell in the pot immediately wafted out——

It caused Erlang, who had just sold the goods next to him, to stretch his neck and look at it again and again, wanting to know what this stuff that makes people salivate just by smelling it.

After Le Ning dug out a spoonful of sauerkraut beef from the earthen pot and mixed it into steamed cakes, Erlang, who was looking at her, couldn't hold it anymore, and came over with a smile and asked:

"Brother, what are you eating? I saw the novelty, and it still smelled sour."

It was the kind of acid that could not be eaten by food, but it had an alluring fragrance, which instantly captured his sense of taste.

This is the sauerkraut that Le Ning pickled in the cellar recently. Those who use well water every day, but they are still concerned about the heat and it is not easy to preserve it, so they only pickled a jar, but found that they couldn’t finish it, so they brought it out as dry food Now, hearing the curiosity of others, he generously shared a spoonful of it.

The man picked up a sliced ​​vegetable leaf and looked at it, then asked in surprise, "This...could it be cabbage?"

"Exactly," Le Ning replied with a smile: "The womb cabbage pickled in a unique way has a special flavor than usual."

Seeing the ingredients, the salesman made up his mind, put the sauerkraut into his mouth, the sour taste immediately spread, his teeth made a crisp sound after biting down, and the acid juice splashed in his mouth, making his cheeks sore , but the appetite widened accordingly.

He picked up another chopstick and scooped out the small pieces of beef inside. The texture of the pickled beef was also stained with sour juice, blending with the original meat flavor, and the strips were torn apart by the teeth. Every time, the shredded meat has a sour taste, and after chewing carefully, there is a sharp spicy taste!

How enjoyable it is!

Le Ning smiled, she bought this beef by coincidence at the house next door, it was an old cow that died, so she asked someone to kill it and share the meat, otherwise she didn't know when she would be able to enjoy the perfect match of sauerkraut and beef make.

"Delicious, delicious!" The salesman boasted, patting his thigh, "Brother, you can sell this cabbage in the market tomorrow, and it will definitely fetch a good price!"

Le Ning was worried that he would not be able to finish the jar of sauerkraut at home, and his eyes lit up when he heard the suggestion: "Thank you for your advice!"

Seeing the salesman's reaction, she could guess that it would be easy to sell the sauerkraut tomorrow.

Another long time passed.

The cat in the back basket woke up in a daze, his eyes were still a little straight when he jumped out of the back basket, he failed to hurdle and half hung on the back basket, and finally slipped to the ground like a puddle of jelly, and fell beside Le Ning.

With a snort, Le Ning hugged the sesame seed by the waist and put it in his hand, touching from the head to the tail, Lu Wanzhen, who had been replaced in the shell, felt comfortable all over, and the tiredness of being trapped in the palace for many days disappeared.

Lu Wanzhen lay on her lap and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since Lu Niangqin sat on the seat of a saint, the previous dynasty has not stopped. After all, she is an empress that has never been seen in the history of the previous dynasty. No matter what she does, she is always controversial. The reason why the man shows his body.

If the officials in the court know that this prince is also a daughter, and they think that the royal family will be ruined, the hearts of the people will be even more floating.

However, even so, because she was adopted by the Lu family and not born by Lu Yining, her position as the crown prince is not stable. Now that Prime Minister Pei has had close contacts with the elders of the previous dynasty, it seems that she is quite prejudiced against her.

Lu Wanzhen was really under a lot of pressure in the palace. She couldn't live up to the expectations of the saint after the same week, and she couldn't let her performance leave something to the courtiers. Only when Le Ning is thousands of miles away can he breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help rubbing her head back and forth on Le Ning's palm.

Being rubbed against by Xiaotuanzi with her eyes closed, Le Ning was elated and pushed the delicate and soft Xiaotuanzi down.

Lu Wanzhen's face turned red, and she couldn't help turning her head, muttering, I hate it!

There is a vague coquettish voice in the mouth: "Wow ~"

Le Ning smiled, gently stroked her head, and scratched the cat's chin, scratching Lu Wanzhen's chin unknowingly higher and higher, and then couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her nose.

"It's too hot here, isn't it? Let's go back to Wang'an after a while. After being out for so long, Master can't contact us recently. It's time to go back and have a look."

When Lu Wanzhen heard that she was finally going to look back at An, her ears perked up, and her heart beat faster.

"Is Zhima homesick too?" Le Ning looked at her reaction and asked amusedly.

Lu Wanzhen stared at her, then lowered his head slightly after a while, and gently kissed her index finger, as carefully as kissing a thorny rose, with a hint of piety.

No homesickness.

Just thinking of you.
