No matter the tea or food in the farm, it is far inferior to the Princess Mansion. Fortunately, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei are not so picky. After a short rest, he drank another cup of tea and went out to play with Lu Sheng.
Qi Yang is right, there is a large grape trellis in this village, and bunches of blue and purple grapes are hanging down, which is very gratifying to watch. The green grapes can be smelled sweet from a distance, and the purple grapes are round and full, and it is the season of picking.
Lu Sheng opened his big round eyes and watched Lu Qipei pick a bunch of grapes from the grape trellis above his head, let the servant with the water wash it now, and picked another one and handed it to her: "Ah Sheng, would you like to taste these grapes?"
Although the small dumpling is young, she has also eaten grapes. She likes the sweet and sour taste very much, so she has to follow. Looking at the shelf full of grapes, the little guy's eyes were already bright, and of course she would not refuse the grapes that Lu Qipei handed in front of her. He opened his mouth and said, "Ouch" and bit down, and then his face was wrinkled with sourness, just like the last time he ate candied haws.
Seeing this, Lu Qipei held back his smile and asked her, "Are these grapes sour?"
Lu Sheng nodded affirmatively, and complained to her aggrievedly: "It's so sour."
Qi Yang looked at the grapes and then at Lu Sheng. The purple grapes were round and plump. After washing, they glowed in the sun, and they looked very delicious. She didn't believe it, so she picked one to taste, bit half and stuffed the other half into Lu Qipei's mouth.
This is good, the three of them frowned together, and Lu Qipei wondered: "The grapes sent to the house are very sweet, why did I pick this bunch so sour?!" She said, and went to the grape trellis above her head. look.
Of course, the things sent to the Princess Mansion were carefully selected. Especially for a bunch of things like grapes, it is impossible to send sour grapes to Princess Mansion as long as each bunch is cut out to taste. It's just that the grapes on this shelf always have different flavors for different reasons. Of course, the sweet ones are the vast majority, but it is understandable to pick the sour ones with bad luck.
Lu Qipei's luck was obviously not very good. After the servants in Zhuangzi stumblingly explained, she consciously took two steps back: "It seems that my luck is not very good today, or else, Your Highness, will you choose?"
Qi Yang was not as interested in this as Lu Qipei, she casually fingered a bunch of them, Lu Qipei picked them off with his own hands, and then made the servants wash them clean. After feeding it to Lu Sheng, the little guy hesitated for a while, but Lu Qipei couldn't bear it anymore, so he finally took it back and tasted it for himself.
Sure enough, the bunch of sour grapes before was just an example, and the bunch Qi Yang was referring to was very sweet.
After Lu Qipei tasted it, he affirmed it, Qi Yang also tasted one, not to mention Lu Sheng. The little dumpling finally tasted the sweet grapes again, and the shadow that was born before disappeared in an instant.
"Ah Sheng, do you want to pick two strings by yourself?" Lu Qipei asked when he saw the small dumplings smiling happily.
Lu Sheng immediately shifted his gaze from the grapes to Lu Qipei, his big black eyes filled with expectation: "Is it alright?"
Naturally, Lu Qipei picked her up with a smile, raised her head above her head and let her reach for the grapes by herself. The little dumpling had short arms and short legs, but he was in good spirits. He looked up and saw a bunch of falling grapes, and reached out to pick them. Only she was too small and too small, a bunch of grapes fell in front of her, she couldn't pick them calmly, but stretched out her arms and hugged them all down.
That look, for no reason, reminds me of a cat that steals its mouth, and it will die after biting the food.
Qi Yang couldn't help laughing when he saw it. He took the scissors handed over by the servant and stepped forward to help cut the bunch of grapes. It turned out that Lu Sheng was holding the bunch of grapes again, just like the doll holding the fish in the New Year's picture.
Of course, the child is born with pink and jade carvings, and it looks good holding grapes.
Lu Sheng didn't know what was funny about her actions, she was obviously very happy when she picked the grapes. She was struggling to hold the whole bunch of grapes, her eyes shining brightly at Qi Yang Xianbao: "Your Highness, grapes, you can eat the sweet ones."
When Qi Yang heard the words, he reached out and touched the child's head, and praised: "A Sheng is really good."
The child is rarely praised, and his eyes narrowed. Her fluffy little head was still rubbing against Qi Yang's hand, like a small animal trying to compete for favor in front of its master, so cute and soft.
Lu Qipei, who was holding the small dumplings, was silent for a moment, then turned to hold Lu Sheng into his arms, poked her little face and asked, "A Sheng's grapes are only for His Highness, not for Uncle? "
Lu Sheng blinked his eyes, and showed a cute smile: "Uncle eats too."
As she spoke, she handed out the grapes that she was holding tightly in her hands, somewhat reluctantly, but also very generous. That small appearance made people angry, and in the end, they could only accept the little guy's kindness with a smile.
Before she came, Lu Qipei said that she would pick some grapes and send them back to her colleagues, but there were many people in Dali Temple, and of course she could not accomplish this arduous task by herself. She only led Lu Sheng to pick three or five bunches of grapes, and gave the rest to the servants on Zhuangzi.
At noon, the family of three had a lunch in the village. The food they eat is all produced by their own villages. Although it is not so rare and exquisite, it is better than the fresh ingredients. It is also good to eat two meals occasionally. After the meal, the three of them rested in Zhuangzi for a while, and waited until the hottest time of noon had passed, and the three of them avoided the heat before they went out again.
For this reason, Qi Yang didn't really want to go out under the shadow of the eaves: "The weather is too hot, so it's time to come back in two months."
Lu Sheng slept well at noon, and the child's spirit was also very good. Hearing the words, he said, "There will be no grapes in two months." When A Sheng fans it, it won't get hot."
The small ball in his hand is a small fan, which is more than a circle smaller than the one in Qi Yang's hand. She waved a few times in the direction of Qi Yang, but she didn't actually fan out much wind, but her serious appearance made people feel a little warm.
Qi Yang's gaze softened as he looked at the child, until her attention was taken away by Lu Qipei. The latter pulled her to her right hand, held Lu Sheng in her left hand, took out a folding fan in her right hand and shook it gently, fanning it on the left and on the right, taking into account both big and small, and standing in the middle didn't miss out: "Zhuang Didn't the person above say that there are melon fields, the weather is hot, let's go pick one and come back and taste it."
It is rare to come out for a trip, of course, it is for fun, otherwise it will not be too easy to eat melons.
After hearing this, Lu Sheng's eyes lit up again, obviously full of curiosity about these new things that he had never been exposed to. On the other hand, Qi Yang did not miss the careful opportunity that Lu Qipei blocked in the middle, and gave her a meaningful look.
Lu Qipei noticed it, smiled at her, and immediately looked away: "Let's go, A Sheng, let's go pick melons."
Lu Sheng laughed when he heard the words. The child's laughter was clean, pure, and extremely infectious, and it easily attracted the people around him to show their faces. Then Qi Yang really didn't say anything, and went out after them.
A few servants followed behind them, holding umbrellas with umbrellas and fans with fans, trying to make Her Royal Highness's trip more comfortable.
Fortunately, the melon fields were not far away, and the group arrived within a quarter of an hour. In the distance, you can see the melon vines all over the ground, the round watermelon is hidden in it, and the black and green stripes are looming.
Lu Sheng's curious eyes widened again, but this time, they didn't let them pick them by themselves - Lu Qipei was erudite, she really didn't know how to pick watermelons so down-to-earth. The old farmer who looked at the melon fields told them that they were not ripe. So in the end, the old farmer could only help the old farmer pick two of the sweetest ones, and then she hugged Lu Sheng and the servant hugged the melon before turning back.
Seeing her lost face, Qi Yang couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand and pinched her earlobe: "Why do you look like a child?"
The real child Lu Sheng nestled in Lu Qipei's arms, staring at the two with wide eyes, still curious in Wu Liuliu's eyes.
Lu Qipei was a little embarrassed by the child, so he put her on the ground: "It's too hot to hug, A Sheng will go by himself."
The little dumpling nodded obediently, agreed, and grabbed a corner of Lu Qipei's clothes by the way. After thinking about it, he let go, walked around between Lu Qipei and Qi Yang, and grabbed the corners of their clothes with one hand on each side, so he felt relieved.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei slowed down and walked slowly with her. The three of them became more and more like a family of three when they walked in one place. For a moment, Qi Yang felt complete. Isn't what she asked for in the past life and this life to marry this person and start a family? Now they have long been married, although they can't have children, but with Lu Sheng, everything is the best.
If it can go on like this, there will be no more external disturbances, and there will be no regrets.
Unfortunately, this idea only lasted all the way. When the family of three returned to Zhuangzi with the freshly picked melons, what they saw was Zhi Ting who was pacing the door anxiously. As soon as she saw the three of them, she came up and said, "Your Highness, something happened in the capital."
Qi Yang's relaxed expression suddenly tightened, and after looking at Lu Qipei, he asked his servant to take Lu Sheng away first. After the people left, the two stepped into Zhuangzi and asked, "What happened in Beijing?"
Zhi Ting followed behind the two of them, and replied as they walked, "This morning, an emergency report was sent from Mingzhou, saying that the local area of Mingzhou had rained for several days, and there was a sudden flash flood, and the court was in urgent need of disaster relief. King Wei and King Wu entered the palace when they heard the news. , It is said that they all want to take the disaster relief errand into their hands. For some reason, they quarreled in front of the royal family, and even moved their hands later, Wu Wang's head was broken. "
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei both stopped when they heard this. You Qi Yang turned around and asked incredulously, "They fought in front of the imperial palace?!"
Disaster relief has always been the favorite errand of princes. It can not only gain popularity and fame, but also make some profits from it. Unless it is a catastrophe that is rare in a century, and there is no guarantee of the aftermath, such an errand will naturally be contested by others.
You can fight for the return, and it is unwise to fight in front of the emperor, and fight in front of the imperial...
Qi Yang was tired and felt that her brothers were really helpless.
