If the meal is not cooked well, it will be replaced, and the King of Southwest feels a lot of pressure.
Chu Yuan sat on a small bench and saw that he stood motionless by the stove for a long time, so he asked, "Are you planning to cast spells?"
Duan Baiyue didn't give up and asked, "Do you really eat braised fish? Do you eat scrambled eggs?"
Chu Yuan shook his head: "Don't eat."
Duan Baiyue had to untie a fish from the beam.
Chu Yuan reminded: "It has to be blown into the shape of a flower basket."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Chu Yuan looked at him for a moment and compromised: "Okay, it's done when you're familiar with it."
Fortunately, the fish had already been processed during the day, so Duan Baiyue poured oil into the pot and put the fish in carefully.
Chu Yuan wholeheartedly waited for the meal.
After a while, the sound of thorns and pulls came, and there was even a slight fragrance, Duan Baiyue felt that it should be quite reliable. The bottom of the pot will be mushy naturally, but at least it can be cooked. After putting out the broken fish, add some salt and soy sauce.
Chu Yuan asked, "Are you okay?"
Duan Baiyue looked at the dark pile on the plate and said calmly, "Not yet."
Chu Yuan said: "Oh."
Duan Baiyue chopped some chopped green onion and put it on it, which became even more horrible.
Chu Yuan stood up and walked over.
Duan Baiyue decisively fastened the plate with the lid of the pot, and strode out of the kitchen door with the person in her arms.
Chu Yuan sighed: "I'm afraid I will starve to death in the future."
Duan Baiyue emphasized: "At least I can wash the rice."
Chu Yuan asked, "Did you eat rice?"
Duan Baiyue said: "What else do you want to eat, I will learn it."
Chu Yuan pressed his chin against him and said, "The Buddha jumps over the wall."
Duan Baiyue coaxed: "Well, when I get old in the future, I will jump to you every three to five."
Chu Yuan said again: "There are still five bowls and eight pieces."
Duan Baiyue agreed at once: "Okay, okay."
Without thinking, it is full of a strong sense of unreliability.
Chu Yuan tore off his hair and said in his heart, otherwise let's change it, anyway, there are many people in Da Chu.
Duan Baiyue said: "You are not allowed to change."
Chu Yuan pouted.
Leave me alone.
You take care of me.
Duan Baiyue hugged him tighter.
Two months is a long time and a short time.
The East China Sea affairs had already been dealt with, and the newly assigned local officials had also taken office. The night before leaving, Ye Jin sat on the roof and watched as someone not only entered his brother's bedroom, but even blew out the candle. fire.
Shen Qianfeng said: "Maybe it's talking about business."
Ye Jin calmly said, "Yes."
It is only reasonable to discuss some important military affairs and the secrets of political dignitaries.
The house is quiet.
Duan Baiyue leaned on the head of the bed and took Chu Yuan into his arms with his arms. Neither of them said a word, they just leaned together quietly and listened to the faint sound of waves outside the window.
In the second half of the night, Chu Yuan closed his eyes and slept soundly.
Duan Baiyue tucked the quilt for him, and dropped a gentle kiss on his forehead.
In the early morning of the second day, the Chu army returned to the court, and Duan Baiyue also led his subordinates all the way to the southwest. The people stood on both sides of the road, and they were very reluctant to give up - first, the emperor, and secondly, the king of the southwest. After all, during these days, the troops stationed in the southwest would send rice and noodles to the big guys every now and then, and even There are also dried bacon. The dried mushrooms in the Dali forest are used to make soup, and the taste left in the mouth will be fresh until next year.
I haven't eaten enough, so I left.
Outside Dali City, Duan Yao couldn't wait to tiptoe, and waved happily: "Brother!"
Duan Baiyue turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I have grown taller."
"Brother." Duan Yao ran forward and glanced behind him, but didn't see the carriage, so she asked in a low voice, "Where's my sister-in-law?"
Duan Baiyue said: "I'm back to the royal city."
"Ah?" Duan Yao was frustrated when she heard that, "You really didn't bring anyone back. Aunt Jin has already found the tailor and is drinking tea in the mansion."
Duan Baiyue said: "Then just make you two sets of new clothes."
Duan Yao quickly waved: "That's red satin." No one else could wear it.
Duan Baiyue really didn't want to discuss this matter anymore, so she asked, "Where's Master?"
Duan Yao replied, "Go to the South China Sea."
"South China Sea?" Duan Baiyue paused, "Why are you going to the South China Sea?"
"It has nothing to do with others. Master received a letter saying that it was sent by an old friend and invited him to live in Xianshan in the South China Sea for a period of time, as if to congratulate someone on their birthday." Duan Yao said, "Master looks quite a bit. I couldn't wait, so I rode a donkey out of the palace that afternoon."
Duan Baiyue said: "Master still has old friends?"
Duan Yao spread her hands: "I thought so too before, but Aunt Jin said later that there is a broken pot and a bad cover."
Duan Baiyue asked again, "Did Master ever say which island did you go to and when can you come back?"
"I don't know which island it is, but I said it would take half a year at most. Before the Chu army attacked Nanyang, I would definitely come back." Duan Yao said, "Master also said, anyway, you will definitely not be able to become a relative within a year and a half. , he will stay in the mansion in vain, it is better to go out to relax."
These words were repeated over and over again, and Duan Baiyue's brain hurts.
Ye Jin was brought back to Sun Moon Villa by Shen Qianfeng. Finally, no one talked about baldness or not lifting every day, but Chu Yuan's ears were not very quiet.
"Your Majesty." Father Sixi said outside, "Master Tao asks to see you."
Chu Yuan continued to criticize Zhezi and said, "Just say that I am busy."
Father Sixi hurriedly said: "Master Tao said, this time it's not for the draft.
Chu Yuan dropped the book and said, "Xuan."
Tao Rende entered the imperial study and looked in a very good mood.
Chu Yuan joked: "Could it be that Liu Aiqing made a matchmaker for Master Taifu?"
"Your Majesty." Tao Rende hurriedly waved his hand, "There is absolutely no such thing, absolutely nothing." If the official in the family knew about it, it would be fine.
Chu Yuan said: "What is the reason for this trip, Master Taifu?"
Tao Rende said: "Today, the old minister received a letter from the White Elephant Country."
"White Elephant Country, Jin Shu wrote it?" Chu Yuan frowned.
"It's the lord of the White Elephant Kingdom, and he wrote it in his own hand." Tao Rende said.
"The Lord of the White Elephant?" Chu Yuan finally got some interest.
"He wants to use the strength of the two countries to open up a new trade route in Nanyang." Tao Rende said.
Chu Yuan laughed: "The appetite is not small. The number of ships today is not enough for him to eat."
Tao Rende said: "It is precisely because the commerce and trade in Nanyang is becoming more and more prosperous now that the shipping routes are becoming more and more crowded. The merchants are all helpless and cannot afford to be too early. The silver of the white flowers is placed there, but everyone wants a piece of the pie. ."
"Opening a new waterway will not be completed within a year and a half. It is not to be careless." Chu Yuan shook his head, "Besides, even if a new waterway is opened, the benefits that Baixiangguo will get from it are far greater than those of Chuguo, such a labor-intensive project, he Do you want to settle down with just a few letters?"
"That's why the White Elephant King wants to personally enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit." Tao Rende said, "We will discuss this matter together."
"Want to come in person?" Chu Yuan asked, "When?"
Tao Rende said: "Look at the other party's meaning, like the sooner the better."
Chu Yuan nodded: "It's okay to meet him."
"The old minister will prepare a letter in person and send it to Nanyang as soon as possible." Tao Rende said, "Please come to the Imperial Palace of Great Chu for a chat."
Chu Yuan promised, and after watching him retreat, he called Sixi and said that he wanted to go to the imperial garden for a walk.
After being busy for so many days, finally seeing the emperor in the mood to enjoy the scenery, Si Xi hurriedly instructed the servants to prepare snacks and fruits in the pavilion, and brewed a pot of good Jiangnan Qing.
"Jiang Nanqing, is it the tea sent by Wen Aiqing?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Returning to the emperor, that's right," said Si Xi, "It's Lord Wen's own tea mountain. It is said that Lord Wen's mother brought her maids and made tea pieces by herself, one by one, and it's not even touched by a man's turbidity."
"That's rare." Chu Yuan said with a smile, "Wen Aiqing has a clean sleeve, it's rare to give me something, this tea needs to be drunk well."
As soon as the voice fell, an old man walked far from the front.
"Senior Mu Chi." Chu Yuan respected him very much.
"See the emperor." The old man Mu Chi saluted - compared to when he fled before, he was well fed and warm in this palace, and no one was chasing him, so he was at ease every day, his face was red, and he looked a little fatter. lock up.
"Where are the seniors going?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Back to the emperor, I originally took a nap under the rockery." The old man Mu Chi said, "I just smelled a scent of tea, so I came to have a look."
Chu Yuan smiled and said, "So senior is a good tea person."
"This tea smells familiar." Old Man Mu Chi said, "But it was picked from Jiangnan?"
Chu Yuan nodded: "Exactly."
The old man Mu Chi asked, "Which tea mountain?"
"I know which tea mountain it is, but I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it, so I won't sell this tea." Chu Yuan said, "I will send some to my seniors."
"Then who is the owner of this tea mountain?" Old Man Mu Chi broke the casserole.
Chu Yuan was puzzled and guessed: "Senior knows the owner of this tea mountain?"
"I was chased and killed in the rivers and lakes before. The owner of this tea mountain has saved my life." The old man Mu Chi said, "Unfortunately, I was seriously injured in a coma, and I didn't see the appearance of my benefactor, so I only remembered this tea. aroma and sweetness.”
"Is there such a thing?" Chu Yuan was slightly surprised. Chashan belongs to the Wen family, and there are more than ten generations of scholarly families in the south of the Yangtze River. There is no one who can know how to fight and kick. How can they still save people in the world
"Your Majesty." Father Sixi whispered, "Although Mr. Wen is a little weaker, he is also a chivalrous person. He has rescued the heroine of Tianya Haige before, and now he is the godmother of Mr. Wen."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Can this kind of thing be heard so clearly
"Senior, can you easily tell me what happened on the tea mountain?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Actually, it's not complicated." The old man Mu Chi said, "Nine years ago, I was chased by my enemies and ran into a tea mountain in a panic, but I fainted because of my lack of physical strength. I dragged it into the house and hid it, and when I woke up again, I was surrounded by the same scent of tea."
Chu Yuan asked again: "Who is chasing the predecessors?"
The old man Mu Chi said with a bitter face, "It's from the White Elephant Kingdom."
"White Elephant Country?" Chu Yuan was surprised, "Senior still has grievances with White Elephant Country?"
"You can't talk about grievances, at most you can't talk about business, and you're just angry." The old man Mu Chi said, "The emperor doesn't know anything, and the king of Baixiang is also a cruel and cold-blooded person. Just be careful."
