Food for the people

The Marriage Tree of Qingchan Temple has always been quite famous in Hanyang City, and many people come here admiringly, wanting to find a good marriage for themselves.

Of course, in addition to those who do not have marriage to seek marriage, there are also those who have marriage to seek a happy marriage for a hundred years.

This Marriage Tree is an ancient tree, the trunk can't be surrounded by two people's arms, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, like a huge green umbrella, the branches spread out, covering the surrounding area tightly, and the sunlight can't come through.

The branches are covered with wooden signs tied with red ribbons. The names of different handwritings are written on the wooden signs. Some have only one, and some are in pairs.

In front of the Marriage Tree, there is a small novice supporting the table, with ribbons, wooden signs and pens and inks on it. Those who want to seek marriage can go up to get the sign by themselves. Even if they can’t read and write, it doesn’t matter. Just donate some sesame oil in the temple. Money, the little novice will write it for you.

"I don't think the young master looks like he is not married. He must be here for a long time." The little novice is not very old, but he is very energetic. Seeing Qiao Yu approaching, he immediately said with a smile.

Qiao Yu nodded, feeling a little embarrassed.

The little novice clearly handed over the pair's wooden sign to him, and said: "Master, you are kind, this marriage will definitely have a good result, you don't have to worry about it."

Although he had a small mouth, he was very sweet. Not only did Qiao Yu feel comfortable with a few words, but even Lu Jincheng, who was standing behind Qiao Yu, was quite satisfied. Some sesame oil money.

Qiao Yu took the wooden sign from the little novice and walked to the side, seeing that the little novice coaxed Lu Jincheng to soften his eyebrows and eyes with similar rhetoric, and felt amused in his heart.

I don't know if this little monk can really see it or if he just said it casually. If he said it casually, wouldn't he be scolded if he made a mistake?

As he thought this way, Lu Jincheng had already taken the wooden sign and walked up to him. The two chose a nearby table and wrote their names on the wooden sign.

Originally, the two of them could just provide one sign, but Qiao Yu was afraid that if they wrote one sign, people would look at him, and secondly, he had selfish intentions, and wanted to write another sign, writing about Qiao Yu instead of Qiao Sheng.

He told Lu Jincheng what he thought, and he was afraid that Lu Jincheng would ask, so he thought up his speech, but he didn't expect that Lu Jincheng agreed without asking.

He had learned how to write his own name from Qiao Ling, and knew that the word Yu was different from the way he was used to, so he wrote the word Qiao Yu in a way that Lu Jincheng couldn't understand, and on the other side of the wooden sign, Seriously wrote Lu Jincheng's letter.

Lu Jincheng didn't look sideways at what he wrote, he wrote faster than Qiao Yu, not only wrote on the front of the wooden sign, but also wrote a line of small characters on the back, tied it with a red silk ribbon, and Qiao Yu hung it on the tree first. superior.

After hanging up, he turned his head and asked Qiao Yu, "Has Qiao Er finished writing?"

Qiao Yu nodded, walked around to the other side, and hung up his wooden sign as well.

Although he took the initiative to ask to write the two brands first, but now he is the first to become curious about Lu Jincheng's brand, but he has a ghost in his heart, so he can't take the initiative to ask to see it, so he can only suppress his curiosity and endure it. did not ask.

After they made offerings to the Marriage Tree, the sun had already set halfway down, and the sky was about to darken. The abbot of the temple asked them if they wanted to stay in a wing room, but Lu Jin refused, adding another gift to the merit box in the temple. After getting some incense money, he led Qiao Yu down the mountain.

As soon as the sun went down, the sky quickly darkened, and the boy who had walked behind them when they came came ahead of them now with a lantern.

The dew in the mountains was heavy, and the wind blew still felt a bit chilly. Qiao Yu took two steps, and was suddenly covered by a warm robe. The robe was draped over Qiao Yu's body.

"Be careful, don't get caught in the cold."

Qiao Yu's face was blocked by the robe, and only two round eyes could be shown. Seeing that Lu Jincheng was only wearing a single shirt, he did not refuse the clothes that Lu Jincheng put on, but held one side and stood on tiptoe He covered Lu Jincheng's feet, and under the cover of his robe, he quietly held Lu Jincheng's hand, then looked up at him, and said with a smile, "Isn't this better."

The temperature in his palm was like a fire, and it was about to burn into Lu Jincheng's heart from where the skin touched. Lu Jincheng frowned and said, "Qiaoer is a good idea, I am very happy for my husband."

Qiao Yu was in a good mood at the moment, and didn't care about Lu Jincheng's provocative self-proclaiming, and moved closer to Lu Jincheng's side, saying, "It's getting late, let's go back."

When going up the mountain, the two stopped and stopped all the way, which seemed to be quite long. When going down the mountain, the two held hands and shoulder to shoulder. Not only did they not feel cold, but they felt a warmth from the bottom of their hearts. On the shoulders, the atmosphere was ambiguous and warm. Neither of them talked much, but they didn't feel quiet at all. The thumping heartbeat in the chest was complemented by the sound of insects, and the distance seemed to be shortened. A carriage with oil lamps hanging at the foot of the mountain.

Qiao Yu looked up and found that they had arrived, feeling a little dissatisfied.

The atmosphere was so good that he was a little reluctant to go back like this.

"If Qiao Er likes it, you can take a longer walk." As if knowing what he was thinking, Lu Jincheng tilted his head and said.

Qiao Yu shook his head: "Not yet, there are some in Moonlight City."

What makes him feel comfortable is not only the environment, but more importantly, the person around him.

He didn't finish his sentence, but Lu Jincheng already understood what he meant. With a smile in his eyes, he leaned over and touched Qiao Yu's ear, and said in a low voice next to Qiao Yu's ear: "What Qiaoer said Yes, what is so beautiful about this moonlight, what Qiaoer wants to see is me."

Qiao Yu: ...

He saw the expression on Qiao Yu's face, and asked with a smile, "Isn't it?"

Qiao Yu stared at him for a long time, and finally she did not deceive her conscience, so she nodded.

His expression was too serious and pious, and Lu Jincheng wanted to kiss him again, but he had already reached the side of the carriage, but he didn't hold back, imprisoned him in the carriage, and kissed him carefully all over.

Prince Yan's talent is astonishing. He is really good at some things without a teacher. Compared with Qiao Yu, who is also ignorant, his progress can be described as rapid. Qiao Yu thought he was too skilled at the beginning, and now he can't even resist kissing. Chunri is not bad. In the cold night, he actually started to sweat. Lu Jincheng's hand blew a cool breeze. When he touched him, he was still cold and shivered, but he soon became hot.

It's spring, and people are coming soon.

When the small movements in the carriage finally stopped, Qiao Yu covered Lu Jincheng's robe and shrank to the side, looked at Lu Jincheng with red ears and said, "Isn't it good..."

Lu Jincheng bent down to cover him tightly, looked at Qiao Yu without blinking, and asked without answering, "Qiao Er doesn't like it?"

Qiao Yu: ...

He didn't speak for a while, Lu Jincheng rolled his eyes and laughed: "That's why I like it. I said I'll give you time to wait for you to speak, so I won't break my promise, but that's not what I'm talking about."

Qiao Yu was speechless, almost convinced by him.

He is covered in sweat at the moment, and the hot feeling has not completely faded away. He really has no face to continue discussing this topic with Lu Jincheng. He was a little sleepy in the rickety carriage. Seeing Lu Jincheng looking at him with burning eyes, he simply Close your eyes and pretend to sleep.

Lu Jincheng didn't pierce, and tapped his lips with his index finger, and smiled softly.

With her eyes closed, Qiao Yu felt Lu Jincheng's fingers touch him, suddenly realized something, and then her ears burned even redder, and she refused to open her eyes no matter what she said.

This person is really good at it, I can't bear it.

Lu Jincheng knew that he had teased him too much, so he put his hands away very self-aware, put them around Qiao Yu's waist, moved Qiao Yu into his arms to rest on his chest, tilted his head and kissed his red ears, Said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, just sleep for a while if you want to sleep, and I will carry you in when we arrive."

Qiao Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if I had fallen asleep and didn't know what you were talking about.

And then really fell asleep.

He didn't wake up until he felt something touch his neck.

He was no longer in the carriage, there were candles all around, and there was a soft bedding under his body. Lu Jincheng was sitting in front of him, wiping his face with a warm handkerchief. He had never taken care of anyone before. Not very skilled, but quite gentle, seeing Qiao Yu woke up, said softly: "I just sweated, don't move, I'll wipe you off before going back to sleep."

Qiao Yu woke up completely, and asked, "What time is it? Is there still hot water? I'll wash it myself."

He was sweating on the carriage, and his body was a little sticky at the moment. Seeing him sitting up, Lu Jincheng didn't force it, and said, "It's still early, if you think about it, get up and take a shower before eating something. I got them ready."

Qiao Yu nodded, put on some clothes and got up.

Lu Jincheng ordered to go down, and the hot water had been prepared before, and it was brought up soon.

Before sending it up, the aunt asked Lu Jincheng implicitly: "My lord, where do you think this bathtub is arranged?"

If Lu Jincheng was taking a bath, the bathtub must have been placed in his room. The side room was separated by a screen and curtains were hung around it, making it breathable and warm.

But Qiao Yu was the one taking a bath, so my aunt didn't dare to make up her own mind. She is an old man who came out of the palace, so she can naturally see that Mr. Qiao is unusual in her prince's heart. The more unusual, the more careful he should be treated. , she couldn't understand this truth.

Sure enough, Lu Jincheng did not ask them to put the tub in their own room, but asked them to carry it into the side room of Xiyan Pavilion.

After delivering the hot water, my aunt went down to order to prepare meals. Before she left, she took another look at Qiao Yu, and thought that this young man was really her prince's favorite. As a matter of opinion, the prince of her family treats him according to the rules of the princess.

As soon as the aunt left, Lu Jincheng led Qiao Yu to the side room. Seeing that the bathtub was placed here, Qiao Yu secretly glanced at him, but Lu Jincheng saw it right away, pinched Qiao Yu's fingertips and asked with a smile: "Why? Seeing that this is not my bedroom, Qiao Er feels regretful?"

Qiao Yu shook her head again and again, I'm not me, don't talk nonsense without you.

He was just a little surprised that this person let go of such a great opportunity to tease him, which made him a little unbelievable, absolutely no regrets!

Absolutely not!

Seeing him nodding his head resolutely, Lu Jincheng smiled deeper. He lowered his eyes and smiled in Qiao Yu's ear and said, "Qiao Er really understands me. This Liu Xiahui is too difficult to do. I dare not put you in front of my eyes. I'm afraid Can't help it."

Qiao Yu blushed, knowing that this man was not serious when he spoke.

Push the person outside in two or three strokes, and close the door.

"Go back and wait, I'll come when I'm done washing."

Before he realized that his words were ambiguous, he heard Lu Jincheng laughing outside: "Okay, I'll wait on the bed."

Qiao Yu: ...

Goodbye you.

The bathtub in this Wangfu Bieyuan is much bigger than the one in Qiao Yu’s house. It is a wooden barrel half the height of a person, and one side is made into a ladder shape. Sitting in it, the water can hit the chest, just like soaking in a hot spring. .

Qiao Yu likes this bathtub. He wants to make one for his own family, but he thinks it is too difficult to boil water. If such a large bathtub is full, it will take seven hours to boil a pot as big as his house. /Eight pots are fine, when the water behind him is boiled, the ones in front are already cold, so I thought about it and gave up.

Let's wait until he has the conditions to change to a larger kitchen.

But the family can't afford it, but now he finally has the opportunity. He has to soak for a while to enjoy himself.

Thinking about it, Qiao Yu happily took off her clothes and hung them on the screen, and went into the bathtub to take a bath.
