Chapter 1012 (1/2)
After lunch, the Empress Dowager went to a wing room to have a rest. After all, she was old and tired.
Nangongyue, yuanyuyi and Fu Yunyan said a few words with the Empress Dowager in the wing room, and Yuncheng sent them several young girls to play around by themselves.
As soon as the three girls came out of the yard, they saw that yuan lingbai waved to them not far away, with a trace of complaint in his tone, ”you are finally here!” If you don't make them come out again.
Yuan Ling Bai and three people skillfully shuttled through the temple, and finally came to a secluded Water Pavilion in the northwest corner, which was built against a small pond. At the moment, the lotus has withered, and the pond looks desolate and desolate.
Nangong Yue three people with the original order Bai on the second floor of the water Pavilion, they saw Xiao Yi leaning on the window and waved to them.
”Are they here?” Yuan lingbai asked anxiously.
Xiao Yi said carelessly, ”don't worry, not yet!”
As soon as his voice fell, he heard a rush of footsteps ”pedaling” upstairs. Bamboo quickly appeared at the entrance of the stairs and said, ”here it is! Here we are
In fact, from their point of view, they can see that there are two teenagers at the end of the path, one indigo and one green, which are Fu Yunhe and Jian Yunxuan.
The two teenagers are both the dragon and Phoenix among the people. They just walk around and their clothes are fluttering like a picture.
As they approached, Fu Yunhe suddenly stopped by the pond and said in a loud voice, ”brother Jian, I heard that brother Jian's swordsmanship is extraordinary. I don't know if he is a master of swordsmanship from Shaanxi Province, isn't he?”
With a faint smile, Jian Yun said modestly, ”brother Fu, although I have learned sword for several years, I just want to strengthen my body.” He paused, and his face showed a trace of shyness. ”It's said that my younger brother learned sword because he was weak when he was young, so he was called Miss Jian San, so he decided to practice martial arts.”
He is so short that the listener can not help feeling closer.
Fu Yunhe looked at him with a smile and said in a loud voice, ”brother Jian, don't be modest. I think I've made a little success in swordsmanship. I'd like to ask brother Jian for advice today. ” Saying that he has ”brush” from the belt between a soft sword, in the sun, the tip of the sword flashing dazzling light.
Jian Yun's face froze for a moment, but soon he said with a smile: ”brother Fu, the land of Buddhism should not use swords and sharp weapons...”
He did not finish his words, Fu Yunhe has been kind to put away the soft sword, ”brother Jian said reasonable.” But he picked up two branches on the ground and threw one of them to Jian Yunxuan.
Jian Yunxuan catches the branch reflexively, ”wait a minute...” He just said two words. The branch of Fu Yunhe's finger has been stabbing at him, as fast as lightning, and he subconsciously backhand a block.
Next, the two boys exchanged hands again and again. There was no clanging sound or sparks between the swords and the branches, so there was less spirit of killing.
Their bodies are light and flexible, and their hands are like a storm. In a flash, they have made several rounds. It seems that they are evenly matched It is obvious that Fu Yunhe is pressing aggressively step by step, while that Jian Yunxuan mainly defends and retreats step by step until he reaches the edge of the pond. Half a step further, he will fall into the water.
His eyes twinkled for a moment, but for a moment, Fu Yunhe's branch had stabbed his throat and stopped within a finger.
Fu Yunhe looked at Jian Yunxuan with a smile. After a pause for a moment, Fu Yunhe put away the branches lazily and said, ”I'm offended.”
Jian Yunxuan threw away the branches and brushed his sleeves. He was elegant and calm. He was also holding fists. ”Brother Fu's swordsmanship is extraordinary. I admire him.”
Fu Yunhe said with a proud smile, ”brother Jian is not bad, although he is a little worse than me...”
Two people talk and smile gradually away, the water Pavilion in the public expression is different. Convinced that Jian Yunxuan had gone far enough, Fu Yunyan said: ”it seems that he is a modest gentleman.” There was a hint of appreciation in the tone.
South palace Yue is tiny frown, toward original jade Yi to see, ”Yi elder sister, how do you see?”
There was a trace of dignity and uncertainty between Yuan Yuyi's eyebrows. After a while, she hesitated and said, ”his temper is a little bit too good...” In her opinion, cousin crane's actions just now were extremely unreasonable, but Jian Yunxuan did not show any displeasure. She was calm and indifferent from the beginning to the end.
”He must be very tolerant...” Nangong Yue was also thoughtful. Jian Yunxuan is the official of Zhang Jinghou's house. His father is the governor of Shaanxi Province, and he is already a great official in the frontier. Jian Yunxuan is absolutely a favored son of heaven. I'm afraid no one dares to challenge him in Shaanxi Province, regardless of the capital of the king. However, such a person, still a young martial arts practitioner, seems to have no trace of blood, and his nature is good at forbearance.
Just as Xiao Yi said, ”no one is perfect”. Even if the official language seems gentle and elegant now, there was a time when he was young and full of fresh clothes and high spirits It seems that it is still necessary to send someone to Shaanxi to investigate this young master.
Yuan Yuyi suddenly thought of what, suddenly said: ”I remember he was not wearing this one before?”
When she said this, nangongyue and Fu Yunyan looked at each other and remembered that this young master Jian was wearing a blue robe in the morning, but he had just turned into a blue robe.Fu Yunyan did not know whether to praise or sigh at Yuan Yuyi, and felt that she was really too sensitive to what she was wearing.
Xiao Yi said with a smile: ”today, a little monk who delivered tea spilled hot tea on his body when he was using vegetarian food today, which made his clothes dirty.”
”Let's make it clear that this matter has nothing to do with us. It's just a coincidence,” yuan added
Before that, they had asked a maid to bump into Jian Yunxuan on purpose, but Jian Yunxuan did not squint, so that they had a good impression of him.
Yuan Ling Bai's mind can not help but come up with the scene of lunch. The little monk soiled Jian Yun Xuan's clothes. Naturally, he was busy making up for it, and intuitively wiped it with his sleeve.
From the beginning to the end, Jian Yunxuan's attitude is excellent. The gentleman is like jade, and he forgives the little monk with tolerance and magnanimity.
But when he got up to change his clothes, Yuan Lingbo suddenly noticed that his slender fingers played on the spot where the little monk had just wiped, and left gracefully.
The other side's action seems to be casual, but in a moment, it gives yuan Lingbo a very uncomfortable feeling.
Xiao Yi compared a palm way: ”we have tried him five times, his performance is really impeccable.” It's as if you're dealing with an exam.
In the water Pavilion, there was silence for a long time.
”I'd better try to persuade my mother to put off seeing each other for a while...” I'm afraid that the present reason may not be able to persuade Yuncheng to give up the marriage. It's better to investigate this Jian Yunxuan carefully.
There was a rare heaviness on his always smiling face, which was, after all, related to the lifelong happiness of his only sister, which was not careless at all.
Yuan Yuyi looked around in silence and saw that everyone was worried about her marriage. She had an indescribable taste in her heart. It's lucky to have brothers and friends!
Although she does not know where her future is, but with them, how can she live well!
She took Fu Yunyan in one hand and Nangong Yue in the other. She took two people to accompany her to the Lingxiu temple. It's hard to come out to play. You can't let a person who doesn't know whether there will be intersection will lose the interest of this day.
On this day, the emperor's emperor left Lingxiu temple only when the sun tilted to the West.
After returning to YINGLAN palace, the Empress Dowager was so tired that she sent her accompanying women to go back to rest. However, the emperor was still in good spirits and took several of his close ministers to have dinner together. Therefore, when Xiao Yi returned to jingyuezhai, it was already the willow head on the moon.
It's quiet in the front yard, and the maids don't know where to go.
As soon as he entered the room, the thrushi came forward to salute and told him, ”the prince, the princess said that she would go to the backyard to pick Osmanthus fragrans in the shade of the evening.”
Picking osmanthus? There was a glimmer of interest in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he immediately turned around the house and went back to the yard.
He had not seen him, but had heard his voice. Bursts of clear laughter accompanied by a pleasant fragrance came from the backyard.
He can't be more familiar with the laughter, and he won't admit it. It's his smelly girl!
Xiao Yi quickened his pace and walked around the room. In front of him, there was a sudden light. Several golden osmanthus trees were planted in the backyard of jingyuezhai. At the moment, the silver moonlight gently sprinkled on the courtyard, making the clusters of golden osmanthus seem to be shining, fragrant, and the whole backyard is bathed in the sweet fragrance.
Baihui and Lily hold a bamboo pole to shake the branches of the Osmanthus fragrans tree. The golden Osmanthus fragrans ”Susu” are scattered down, and the ocean seems to have a osmanthus rain.
In the moonlight, among the countless golden petals, a girl in a bright yellow dress stretches her arms, laughs and dances, and her skirt is flying like a butterfly. Osmanthus fragrans fall between her temples, on her cheeks, in her dress Xiao Yi leaned against the tree trunk on one side at random, and was almost stunned.
The dancing girl seemed to notice something, stopped, and then looked in his direction, showing a brighter smile: ”Yi, you are back.”
Xiao Yi couldn't help laughing and strode to nangongyue.
Baihui and Baihe also saw Xiao Yi's arrival and temporarily put away the bamboo pole.
Xiao Yi went to Nangong Yue, gently picked up a golden petal on her hair and asked with a smile, ”aren't you here to pick osmanthus?” There was a hint of banter in the tone.
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed a trace of embarrassment, as if nothing happened: ”yes, I promise Yi cousin and Liu Niang that they brew osmanthus wine for them.”
Osmanthus wine? Xiao Yi's eyes brightened. Later, she would choose a day to drink some osmanthus wine with the smelly girl, play a tune, dance or something It's interesting, too.
Xiao Yi volunteered and said, ”ah Yue, I'll help you. I climb up the tree and help you shake the osmanthus
Lily in one side silently heart way: even if do not have your son son Ye hand, my cousin and I will also climb the tree.
Nangong Yue shook his head: ”the branches of these osmanthus trees are too thin. I'm afraid that once you climb up, the branches will break.”
Xiao Yi's face was stiff for a moment. He glanced at the osmanthus trees not far away. He found that Nangong Yue was right. But his eyes turned, and soon he had an idea. He said with a smile, ”isn't that simple?”At this time, magpie son with two small servant girls ran to this side in a hurry, and said excitedly, ”princess, I have brought my umbrella.” As soon as she saw Xiao Yi, she was busy curving her knees.
Xiao Yi looks at magpie and two servant girls holding several paper umbrellas in their arms, picks her eyebrows and subconsciously looks at the sky.
Nangong Yue seemed to see his doubts, pursed his lips and laughed. He deliberately betrayed the truth and said, ”you'll find out later!”
Xiao Yi went to a sweet scented osmanthus tree. Then he lifted up his robe and kicked at the trunk of the tree. The tree trunk vibrated violently, just like shivering in the wind and rain.
One side of the magpie they see, quickly opened the umbrella, umbrella handle up, umbrella for the ”bowl” to the falling osmanthus petals are filled in it.
Xiao Yi's approach is a little rough, but simple and effective.
After a while, the maids had already picked up several baskets of Osmanthus with umbrellas.
Nangong Yue looked at him almost, and he was busy shouting to stop, but Xiao Yi was a little bit more than he wanted to do. He looked at Nangong Yue excitedly and asked, ”what should I do next?”
”Pick up the osmanthus first, and then put it in the shade to dry overnight.”
So they went to the hall and gathered around to pick up the petals, pick out the remaining flowers, remove the fallen leaves, and separate the impurities
Nangong Yue was afraid that Xiao Yi would feel bored. Unexpectedly, he had the patience to accompany her all the time. He was picking things out and thinking about them and saying, ”ah Yue, there are many things that osmanthus can do. In addition to brewing osmanthus wine, you can also make osmanthus sugar.”
”Make me another osmanthus purse!”
”Yes, and osmanthus cake!”
”Osmanthus tea!”
“……”
”Almost forget, there are glutinous rice, osmanthus, lotus root.”
He kept putting forward all kinds of requests. Nangong Yue was so happy that Xiao Yi was so happy that he put his arms around her and kiss her on his face. The servants quickly avoided and closed the door for them. Finally, Nangong Yue was angry, grabbed a handful of osmanthus and threw it at him
The next day, when Xiao Yi had a breakfast meal, Zhu Xing delivered a letter from the south of Xinjiang. So Xiao Yi went to the Academy with him. And Nangong Yue ran to see those osmanthus which had been airing all night.
There is a strong smell of Osmanthus in the whole Jingyue studio.
Nangong Yue ordered Baihui, lilies and magpies, who prepared about ten wine jars and tens of Jin of rock sugar.
Next, it was physical work. Baihui and Lily prepared stone mortar, crushed those rock sugar into powder, mixed each jin of Osmanthus fragrans with four Liang sugar powder, then put them into wine jars, carefully sealed the wine jars, and finally put them in the cool place of the room to ferment for two or three days before continuing to the next step.
In the meantime, Xiao Yi came back and said that he was going to go to guanyubai. Because of the news from Tian He, he needed to discuss with Guan yubai.
Several girls worked together and finished in less than an hour.
Nangong Yue thought that yesterday Xiao Yi pestered himself to eat sweet scented osmanthus cake and glutinous rice and osmanthus lotus root. He waved his big arm and said, ”let's go to the small kitchen!”
It seems that Princess Shizi wants to cook by herself. Lily and magpie look at each other and say in their heart: then they have a good mouth. On weekdays, when the imperial concubine cooks, it's not only the shiziye who are cheap, but also their servant girls.
A few servant girls answered happily, but at this time, thrush suddenly came and said, ”princess, the emperor will send someone to give oral instructions.” Smell speech, Lily's shoulder almost didn't collapse down, it's not as good as heaven's.
