How many buildings are in the mist

"What are you doing here?"

The address is so straightforward, Zhu Xianwan is sure that Duan Qichen is really not fully awake at this time, so she will not be polite to her. When Duan Qichen is not sober, it is just a waste of time to be polite to her: "I'm here to see you, I'm afraid you've drunk too much I’m not feeling well, so I brought hangover soup {93}.” Several pairs, she thought, fearing that it might not be enough for you to drink, “As a result, you fell asleep all the time, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I sent someone to call the imperial doctor while guarding you. "

"Hmm..." Duan Qichen covered his forehead first, then as if he remembered something, he suddenly got up, jumped off the ground and ran out.Zhu Xianwan didn't even have time to shout.After a long time, Duan Qichen came back, he seemed to be awake a lot. "I... Should I drink water first, or sober up soup first?"

Zhu Xianwan laughed, "You never drank?" Duan Qichen shook his head, Zhu Xianwan asked Duan Qichen and the Xianbei maid beside her in surprise: "You Xianbei don't have such a custom?" ?”

Before Xianbei's maid could speak, Duan Qichen yelled from the side: "We Xianbei people, how can we ever get drunk!" Then he slumped down.Zhu Xianwan almost laughed out loud: "Come on, you'd better drink the hangover soup." Then she winked at her personal maid and Xianbei maid, and the two immediately went to the small kitchen to get the hangover soup that had been warming on the stove.After a while, three bowls and two dishes came out, Duan Qichen looked at it, his straight eyes slightly wavered with doubts: "What are these?"

"Hangover soup, fish head, tangerine peel, and eight immortals hangover soup. The taste ranges from salty to sweet, from heavy to light. It also comes with two hangover side dishes, fried eggplant with bamboo shoots, and cold sweet and sour cabbage. Duan Qichen looked at a table full of water and vegetables in front of him, "Don't eat anything, just eat this tonight, ah."

How to eat this!She was holding the chopsticks in a daze, her hands raised in the air.

When Zhu Xianwan came, she personally delivered the food box to the kitchen, and laughed when she saw her kind Xianbei maid.She asked what she was laughing at, but the maid said that there was no food or meat, probably Duan Qichen couldn't get enough to eat.

"What's the matter?" She deliberately asked Duan Qichen, "No, it's nothing." Duan Qichen thought that he had good intentions, so he couldn't say that I would stop eating if there was no meat or food, right?What's more, he was obviously afraid that he would die of drunkenness, so he brought so many good things in one breath.A table full of soup...

"These...three hangover soups, which one should I drink first?" Zhu Xianwan said fish head soup, then tangerine peel soup, and finally eight immortals soup.She looked at it and was sure that there was no fish head in the fish head soup. She sighed silently, picked it up and drank it.Zhu Xianwan asked her to slow down, so while drinking soup, she asked Zhu Xianwan, did you do this?

Zhu Xianwan said that I can hardly do these things anymore, "I don't have the energy to hold a knife."

Duan Qichen almost choked on laughter.

After the ice cream last time, Zhu Xianwan seemed to have found a new joy in life and started to learn how to cook.But she encountered many obstacles. The first threshold was that she couldn't hold a large kitchen knife.If you can't hold a knife, let alone cut vegetables and meat safely, let alone cut it well; if you can't hold a knife, you don't need to touch the pot.Her way of learning to cook is not feasible in this respect. Even if she would rather go against what her father once said repeatedly, "a gentleman stays away from the chef", in fact, she can't get close to the chef.

I can't cut vegetables and meat, so I can make a snack, right?Who knows that the obstacles on the road to Bai'an are the same: kneading the noodles.She was also stubborn, thinking that if the master kneaded all the noodles for her, how could it be said that the dim sum was made by herself?In the end, she could only pick up a few things that she could support from the complicated palace food, such as stewed soup.

For this reason, he often asked Dou Shangshi {94}, who was in charge of the emperor's diet and daily life in the palace, for advice and things.Mrs. Dou was brought into the palace by Zhu Xianzhi, and she insisted on working all the time, refusing to let her out.The reason is that he is already an orphan and has no relatives when he goes out.Feng Zihuan thanked her for her loyalty, so he promoted her to the head of a female official who was in charge of food and daily life.Occasionally, Mrs. Dou personally sent the materials to Zhu Xianwan, but she couldn't find anyone anywhere, so she saw Zhu Xianwan reading a book in the corridor outside the small kitchen, and asked her what she was doing.Zhu Xianwan replied naturally: "I'm making soup."

During the days when Zhu Xianwan was learning stew, the most important thing Duan Qichen did was to be a non-staff teacher for Feng Xi to learn pipa. Whenever Feng Xi came, she would drop everything to teach—even if she had nothing to do.Only once, when Feng Xi saw her dancing in Xianbei clothes, Feng Xi was stunned, and when she realized it, she immediately called for her to learn.

In the end, Duan Qichen stopped him. "You have to learn the pipa well first, and we'll discuss this matter later."

The second thing she did the most was chatting with Zhu Xianwan to pass the time.Originally, Zhu Xianwan usually handles palace affairs with Zhu Xianwan, but recently most of the maids who have entered the palace are not accustomed to wearing improved clothes, so they have to ask for help, Zhu Xianwan can't always lead everyone to Duan Qichen, right?So just come here by yourself.It happened that Duan Qichen could be discussed with him about everything, so that this guy had nowhere to go.Originally, Zhu Xianwan was afraid that Duan Qichen would be angry, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't feel it at all—cooperating with her is also boring on weekdays.What about when you're okay?

They only chat when they have nothing to do. For several years, they can't say a few words all year round, and they have to ridicule each other when they talk. God knows how to find a bunch of things to talk about.Talking about the customs and customs of various tribes in Xianbei, talking about the strange rumors of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, talking about the historical stories of Zhengshuo in the Central Plains, talking about the performance of pipa, Ruan and Se, and even gossip about the aristocratic clans, it was just a joke.Day by day, it turned out to be like this almost every day.At the end of the day, Zhu Xianwan went back.On the way back one day, her personal maid suddenly said, "I never thought that our mother would be so close to Concubine Duan, and she would never call her sister or sister coldly anymore. How did she expect that in the past?"

Zhu Xianwan was taken aback, yes.

Why not Duan Qichen?She almost wanted to dance for Zhu Xianwan.Just when this idea came up, and then she thought that the dance should be chosen on a special day, she realized that all this happened unconsciously and unexpectedly.

The first two sobering soup bowls were already empty, she was a little worried about the vegetable dishes, and reluctantly dropped a chopstick on the cabbage, but found Zhu Xianwan looking at her with a smile.This smile is a little strange, it can probably be classified as "bad intentions", but because of Zhu Xianwan's character, it doesn't necessarily have such malicious intentions.

"Without meat, can you really eat it?" Zhu Xianwan asked with a smile. Duan Qichen wanted to distinguish, but also wanted to tell the truth. Speaking eloquently of herself, she looked depressed, she really drank too much.

Zhu Xianwan smiled and bent over.He ordered someone to bring the porridge, "How can I treat you badly?" A bowl of hot porridge was placed in front of Duan Qichen, Duan Qichen looked at the meat inside, it was probably a pig's internal organs or something. "I learned this porridge from others. It is easy to digest and delicious. It is also suitable for people who drink too much." Duan Qichen's tongue became salivated when he smelled the smell of ginger, and he ate it without being polite. , and didn't even have time to talk to Zhu Xianwan.After she finished eating—there was nothing left—she raised her head and asked, "So, um, where did you learn the market dishes? Who taught you?"

Zhu Xianwan said cook, "My former cook."

Duan Qichen was surprised: "Your cook actually cooks this kind of dish?"

"My cook knows how to do it, not necessarily often. When Dad is away, I have to do it for my younger brother."

"Ah..." Duan Qichen heaved a long sigh, "Then I want to thank Uncle Guo."

It is rare for Zhu Xianwan to smile when someone mentions her useless brother: "Thank him? If you meet him in the future, don't drink him to death. I will thank you first!"

"Tsk! Talking like this, it seems that I was born to force people to death!"

"How much wine did you drink with His Majesty this time?"

Duan Qichen was taken aback for a moment, "You are sitting next to me, don't you know?"

"I didn't count. I can't even watch you two drinking like that."

"Oh... I don't remember either. I just drank the three cups at the beginning. Once His Majesty raises a cup, I will accompany you for three cups. How many cups did Your Majesty drink?"

"Your Majesty later used the same glass as yours, such a big glass{95}, Your Majesty drank five cups, I remember."

"Then I'm fifteen. Hiccup."

Duan Qichen burped loudly in front of her without hesitation and etiquette, the smell of wine and vegetables came out together, as a result, both of them and the two maidservants beside them laughed.

"It's really possible. There are three taels of {96} wine in that cup. Your Majesty can just drink a catty and a half catty. In this breath, you drank five catties of wine!" Zhu Xianwan also wanted to add that it was not a farmhouse. The turbid wine brewed casually is made by the court. It is not strong or not, but it is not water; Duan Qichen immediately answered: "Yes, are you not drunk? Oh, what time is this?" Then he lay down Going to the window, I looked again and again, "It's delayed your viewing of the moon, let's get out, let's go!" As he said that, he was about to get up, but he couldn't stand still, staggered, and threw himself on Zhu Xianwan.

Duan Qichen's beautiful face suddenly got closer than ever before, Zhu Xianwan had no time to react to look elsewhere, and could only stare at Duan Qichen in a daze.At this moment, time was slowed down and elongated by the god who ruled it. Zhu Xianwan saw Duan Qichen's slender and shiny eyes, his drunken eyes were misty, his nose was so straight, and his thin lips naturally turned up: the breath she exhaled was still It has a faint smell of wine. Today's wine is brewed with sweet-scented osmanthus, so it smells good.It's definitely not like the rancid alcohol smell on Zhu Hezhi who used to bother her.

Now there are many descendants of aristocratic clans who often apply powder and incense, their skin is fair and beautiful, I am afraid that they only hate themselves for being inferior to Feiyan Hede.Doesn't Zhu Xianwan think it's wrong for men to dress up? Anyway, women are in the emperor's office, so why can't men dress up?But she always felt that when a man dresses up, it is true that he is good-looking and charming, but there are some natural things that cannot be learned.That kind of grace and beauty belong to women and can only be relied on the female body.

Besides, where did the man get these two soft lumps?

Duan Qichen was almost hanging on her body, but fortunately the Xianbei maid came up from behind and supported Duan Qichen who was swaying back and forth, and put her shoes on.Both of them blushed a little when they went out, and they didn't know if it was for the same thing.

The two sat in the courtyard, and the moon had just hung in the center, big and round, and beautiful in its brilliance.The two watched silently for a while, and Duan Qichen said, how can a good moon be without a song?So he ordered someone to fetch the pipa and asked Zhu Xianwan what he wanted to hear.Zhu Xianwan said: "When Fengxi was choosing a master, that piece was really good. I wanted to listen to that one, but at this moment there is no manpower to play it. It's better to play whatever you think is good, I like it all."

In the past, she should have said "I don't care" or even if she said "I like both" it still means "I don't care", but this time she was telling the truth.

But she is still Zhu Xianwan, who thinks too much and is understanding: "You Xianbei people, what will you sing on the night of the full moon?"

Duan Qichen rapped and sang a lot, with a flick of his hand, he sang to her one, another, and another.She sang in Xianbei language, and Zhu Xianwan found the rhythm after listening to it, so she started to play the rhythm.After singing a song, she would always ask Duan Qichen what the song was about.Duan Qichen then said that this song is a tribute to the warriors, the other one is about the ups and downs of the world, it is better to laugh, and the last one is about the singer standing under the snow mountain and looking up at the beauty on the top of the mountain. The beauty is his sweetheart.

Although Duan Qichen drank, his voice was still bright.Singing and singing felt unsatisfactory, and the moonlight was shining again, so I called Ce Wu, Fengxi's pipa teacher who was watching, and handed her the pipa. Ce Wu played, and she wanted to dance.

Seeing this, Zhu Xianwan stopped her with words: "You're still drunk, you're still dancing when you can't walk steadily, what if you fall all of a sudden?"

Duan Qichen said with a smile: "It's only when you're drunk that you want to dance! Otherwise, you can't dance well!"

Zhu Xianwan still wanted to stop, Duan Qichen walked over directly, put his hands on Zhu Xianwan's shoulders, pushed Zhu Xianwan back to the seat, lowered his head and said to Zhu Xianwan: "Just watch it, hahahahaha!"

Zhu Xianwan originally wanted to get her mind out of the vague shock - she didn't know what frightened her, could it be Duan Qichen's beauty? ——Take it back and think about whether Duan Qichen hasn't sobered up yet. As a result, when the music played, Duan Qichen started dancing, and she couldn't think about it. Her attention was all occupied, and there was no spare time.

Duan Qichen actually knew that he was not completely drunk today, because the good news came suddenly, he was overjoyed, and his mind was half intoxicated because of the excitement, coupled with the emperor's good mood, how could he not drink too much?Since coming to Jiankang, no one can drink with her so recklessly.On weekdays, I can't drink so much alone; when I'm with others, when they see her, they will say that she is not polite, and even threaten people with alcohol, and plan to force them to death.Only the emperor is as bold as before, and doesn't care at all.It's not that she doesn't know that the emperor's martial arts are very high, drinking is not a problem for her at all, she can't drink the emperor no matter what; but she is so happy, she wants to celebrate, she wants to celebrate in the way of a Xianbei person.

The rhythm of the music was getting faster and faster, and her footsteps were flying, making it almost impossible for others to see clearly.At an increasing speed, she felt that she had broken free from all shackles, bid farewell to all struggles, and her soul was about to rise to the endless sky, soaring freely like an eagle.

When the last note disappeared into the air, she raised her hands and bent over, posing in a beautiful pose, and said to Zhu Xianwan with a smile: "We Xianbei people sober up by dancing."

Zhu Xianwan smiled when she heard the words, Duan Qichen felt that her smile was really like the Jiangnan landscape that he had seen several times, gentle, restrained, as sweet as a crisp peach that was still a little green.

After so many years in Jiangnan, all this is still unfamiliar to her.It's just the first time that it's so strangely beautiful.

The author has something to say:

{93} After looking for a long time, I couldn't find out what the origin of hangover soup was.

{94}The system of female officials in the palace in the Southern Dynasties during the Wei and Jin Dynasties has not been found in historical records. What can be seen now is only the records of the Sui Dynasty that they established the system of female officials in the palace following the laws and regulations of the Han and Jin Dynasties. Set up a system of "six honors (elevating palace, honoring ceremonies, honoring clothing, honoring food, honoring sleep, and honoring work), each with three people from the nine ranks".Please note.And don't be brainwashed by Korean dramas, Shang Gong is not an invention of the Koreans, but a Chinese tradition, which lasted from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Song Dynasty.It was not until the Ming Dynasty that eunuchs took up all the duties in the palace after the early Ming Dynasty.

{95} An ancient wine container with an oval shape, a shallow belly, and a flat bottom, with half-moon ears on both sides, and sometimes pie-shaped feet or tall feet.

{96} For the sake of easy understanding, the algorithm of 16 taels per catty is not used, and all ten taels per catty are used.It should be noted that the alcohol content in ancient times was not high.
