working in the fields when they are busy, and then training in barracks when they are free, so that they can raise soldiers with soldiers and lighten the burden of the imperial court.but these are all...Huayang can't imagine what Chen Jingzong can give her as an "unforgettable" gift.
first of all, he has no silver, and he can't compete with his father. The fireworks specially set off for her in the palace when she was a child are now blurred, leaving only the memory of this event.
moreover, Chen Jingzong is a rough man who practices martial arts. He can't make brilliant poems, calligraphy and paintings that are immortal, nor can he come up with any elegant and unique ideas.
apart from martial arts, what he is good at is indecent. Huayang believes that he can come up with a gift that she will never forget, but Chen Jingzong really comes up with this, she will definitely beat him with a whip.
two days passed like water, and in a twinkling of an eye it was April 17, the day before Huayang's birthday.
in the morning, before Chen Jingzong left for the health station, he said to Huayang, "when I come back in the evening, I will personally make you a bowl of longevity noodles."
Huayang: …
it suddenly occurred to her that there were several kinds of unforgettable ones. If Chen Jingzong gave her the most humble birthday gift, she would probably remember it for the rest of her life.
not only does she dislike it, but Chaoyun and Chaoyue are also full of disappointment with Sima. If Sima has other surprises besides longevity noodles, he hasn't told them to prepare them quietly.
when Chen Jingzong returned home at dusk, he changed his clothes and went straight to the kitchen.
thinking that this bowl of noodles was her gift, Huayang came to supervise the kitchen with a look of disgust.
Grandpa Feng and the little eunuchs, who are in charge of the kitchen, have been driven out by Chen Jingzong. Now there are only two of them in the spacious kitchen, one rolling up their sleeves and mixing noodles, and the other letting the servant girl put the rocking chair at the door and look at it comfortably.
the setting sun came in from the window, illuminating Chen Jingzong's half-handsome side face, with drooping eyelashes and kneading noodles in an attentive and serious manner, comparable to that of a literati painting.
Huayang thought that with such a skin, whenever you put your mind into your studies, not to mention the number one in the examination, it would be no problem to take a flower exploration.
when cutting noodles, Chen Jingzong's kitchen knife also makes it flexible and smooth, and each noodle is about the same thickness as a leaf stem.
Huayang really likes eating noodles, but I don't know if he observed it or showed off his knife work to her on purpose.
when Chen Jingzong was about to light a fire, Huayang didn't want to be contaminated with lampblack, so he went back to his inner room.
if you eat noodles, kneading noodles takes the most time. Noodles are all right, and the rest will be soon.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Jingzong came to the hall with a tray with two bowls of steaming longevity noodles covered with sliced beef, ham, shiitake mushrooms and fried poached eggs.
"through the ages, you are probably the only one who makes noodles for the princess."
Huayang sat down at the table, enjoyed the hue of longevity noodles, and said to Chen Jingzong.
Chen Jingzong boasted: "courtesy is light and affection is heavy. You and I will have to spend decades together, so there is no need to make those false ones every year."
Huayang snorted and thought of what gift he would give him this year. He could make noodles, so she gave him an ink treasure and wrote "the most brazen horse in the world".
dislike, Chen Jingzong's cooking is still very good, noodles are slim and strong, and Chen Jingzong gives her just the right amount.
after drinking two spoonfuls of soup, Huayang put down his chopsticks and gargled.
at this time, the sky dimmed.
Huayang looked out of the window and said he had no expectations for this birthday, but in previous years, when celebrating his birthday in the palace, it was so lively that he began to prepare for it the night before. Tonight is going to end so coldly, it is hard to avoid showing a trace of sadness.
Chen Jingzong suddenly asked, "do you still have the dress you wore to Taohuashan"
Huayang: "Why do you ask"
Chen Jingzong: "I'll take you out of town later. It's too rich and inconvenient to dress."
his tone was as usual, but Huayang's eyes lit up and asked, "where are you going out of town"
(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({});
Chen Jingzong: "when it comes time for you to know, hurry up and ask them to come in and help you dress up. After a long delay, it's time to close the gate."
Huayang told him to wait in the hall.
before going out, Chen Jingzong said carelessly, "you'd better comb your young girl's hair. I don't want to have a private meeting with a married woman in the middle of the night."
Huayang: …
not long after he went out, he came in toward the clouds and the moon.
at that time, Huayang was not sure that the king of Xiang could take the bait at once, so she prepared four sets of fine cloth dresses, and the pink one had already rewarded the little servant girl. This time, Huayang chose a crabapple-colored make-up dress with a long white dress.
changed her clothes, combed her hair in front of the cloud, and said happily, "the surprise is so deep that even we didn't say hello."
Huayang: "Don't speak too early, it may not be a surprise."
Chaoyue smiled and said, "No, if a horse dares to fool around on your birthday, it will be itchy and want to be whipped by you."
between jokes and jokes, Chao Yun Tsai carefully helped the princess insert a small and delicate silk flower of pink peony.
"look at the figure, the princess is like a little Jasper among the people."
"as soon as I saw the front, it turned out that this little Jasper was all over the country."
two servant girls laughed and joked in the inner room. Chen Jingzong put down the tea bowl and his eyes fell on the curtain.
after waiting for a while, the footsteps of the master and servant came, and Chaoyun opened the door curtain. Huayang hung his eyes slightly and stepped out.
Chen Jingzong looked at her peony-like appearance under the lamp and was still grateful to the old man.
without a father like the old man, he really can't marry such a princess.
"Let's go, there's a carriage at the east gate."
Chen Jingzong got up and said.
Huayang: "have you prepared the curtain cap"
Chen Jingzong: "Hmm."
Huayang was relieved to follow him.
when he arrived at the east gate, Chen Jingzong said to the two servant girls, "We will come back after dinner tomorrow night. If anyone comes to the door, you will improvise."
both Chaoyun and Chaoyue look worriedly at the master. The princess has grown up and hasn't spent the night alone. In case of any danger, can she arrange enough guards
Huayang still believes in Chen Jingzong in important matters, telling them to just keep an eye on the garden.
at this time or so, the neighborhood was basically ready to rest, and there was no one in the street. Chen Jingzong carried Huayang into the carriage and became his own coachman.
Huayang sat in the car and looked out at the quiet and dark streets through the cracks in the curtain. It felt a little uneasy and very fresh.
Chen Jingzong unimpeded all the way to the gate of the city, and was about to close the gate. At this time, if anyone went in or out, the guards of the city should have checked it more carefully. However, Chen Jingzong had already become familiar with the guards of the city. When the guards of the two rows saw that it was Mr. Ma Ye, they didn't even ask, they just let it go. Instead, Huayang, who was sitting inside, was nervous for nothing.
there are still some lights in the city, and there is only boundless darkness outside the city.
Huayang's uneasiness gradually surpassed freshness. Coupled with the fact that Chen Jingzong's carriage was driving a little fast, she had to hold on to the carriage and whispered, "where on earth are you taking me"
Chen Jingzong smiled: "are you afraid to sell it for money"
Huayang: "if you talk nonsense, I'm going back."
Chen Jingzong: "walk back by yourself" And I'm not afraid of being haunted by wild ghosts. "
Huayang: …
what birthday surprise, shock is more like!
usually no one dares to frighten Huayang with ghosts. It was only now that Huayang knew that she was still afraid of these, and the only time she was not afraid was to give Chen Jingzong this son of a bitch!ounter the main force of the rebels.when he was on his way during the day, Qi Jin was also in the lead. At dusk, he deliberately led the soldiers a little sideways. The soldiers thought he was looking...
