Jiang Changning saw that of the three large bookshelves, only two were filled with books, and one was empty. "What are you going to do with this empty shelf?"
She didn't think that the palace couldn't buy enough books.
"Leave it here for you to put your books." Prince Jin walked to the desk and spread out rice paper. "Ningning, come and help me with the inkstone."
Jiang Changning walked over while rolling up his sleeves.
Prince Jin's eyes fell on her snow-white arms and the heavy gold bracelets.
The jade wrist is heavy because of the golden arm, and the makeup is light.
Try the fragrance several times and your slender hands will be warm; taste the wine once and your lips will be red.
Pretending to play with a red silk fly whisk, she hits Tan Lang.
Prince Jin's eyes became increasingly darker, and he wanted to take the person back to the bedroom.
Jiang Changning had no idea that a certain vicious wolf was ready to move and wanted to eat meat again.
She walked to the desk, picked up the small pot, and poured some water into the inkstone.
Just write three words, you don't need too much ink.
Jiang Changning opened the box of ink sticks and saw the silver plum on the ink sticks. He said in surprise, "Fengzhaitang's fine silver plum!"
"Do you like it?" King Jin asked with a smile.
"How do you know?" Jiang Changning asked.
"Uncle Nan told me."
Jiang Changning sighed secretly. People are often moved by details.
Pinyinmei is the ink stick that her grandfather and father liked to use the most, and it is also her favorite.
However, with the passing of the old ink-making master, there were no new Pinyinmei ink sticks, and the ink sticks on the market became fewer and fewer as they were used.
However, Prince Jin found a box full of ink sticks for her.
Keep your heart like a mirror and don't be affected by external things.
Jiang Changning calmed down and said with a smile: "Thank you, Yong Zhou, I like it very much."
Prince Jin stared at her with a bright smile. As long as she liked it, it was worth it for him to go to so much trouble to find her.
Jiang Changning took out an ink stick and began to grind the ink.
Soon, she had finished the ink, "Yong Zhou, please start writing."
The King of Jin picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and finished the painting in one stroke.
The three big characters "Rujingyuan" appear vividly on the paper, with strong strokes that penetrate through the back of the paper.
"Is it well written?" asked the King of Jin.
"That's great!" Jiang Changning said with a smile.
"Always loyal." King Jin called the man in, "Take it and make a plaque."
"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Youzhong took the paper and walked out.
"There is still some ink. Yong Zhou, do you want to write a few more words?" Jiang Changning said with a smile.
"Ningning, would you please write a couple of words for me?" King Jin asked with a smile.
Can Jiang Changning say it’s not good
cannot.
She has been practicing calligraphy since she was young and thinks she is pretty good at it, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Jiang Changning picked up a pen from the pen holder and took a blank piece of rice paper.
If she had written, "Since I have met a gentleman, how can I not be happy?", the King of Jin would certainly be happy.
But she didn't want to write against her will, so after pondering for a moment, she wrote a poem: When I see plum blossoms in the snow near December, their beauty and snow-like appearance are just right. I envy you for staying here to enjoy them, and seeing all the branches on the north and south sides of the stream.
It is Liu style small regular script, but thinner and longer, with elegance and grace, showing more spirit and energy.
"When the first snow falls, we will go walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms." Prince Jin walked behind Jiang Changning and put his arms around her.
Jiang Changning was startled for a moment, but he managed to control himself and not break free. "Yong Zhou, let go first. I have a pen in my hand, and it will stain your sleeves."
"If you get dirty, change your clothes." Prince Jin got close to her, "Ningning."
There was a warm breath lingering around Jiang Changning's neck.
The tingling and numb feeling made her feel very uncomfortable. She tried to move but couldn't break free.
"Ningning, don't move, let me hug you." Prince Jin said softly in her ear.
Jiang Changning could only let him hold her. There was desire in Prince Jin's eyes, but her eyes were calm.
"Your Highness, the meat dumplings have been delivered from the small kitchen." Chang Youzhong's voice sounded outside the door.
King Jin placed a light kiss on her neck before releasing her hand, "Send it in."
The maid came in with a food box and took out a porcelain cup from the food box.
In the porcelain bowl are little swallows spreading their wings as if ready to fly. The bowl is crystal clear and you can see the pink meat filling in the middle.
The appearance was very good. Jiang Changning smiled and said, "I want four."
"You are too thin. You need to eat more." Prince Jin felt that her waist was too thin. He was really afraid that one day he would break her waist.
"I have a small appetite, and I'll have lunch soon." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
Meat dumplings are a specialty snack in Fuzhou, and there is also a specialty called: meat wrapped in meat.
Although the meat dumpling is full of meat inside and out, it smells refreshing and has no greasy meaty smell at all.
Jiang Changning scooped up a meat swallow, blew it cool, and put it in his mouth.
The taste of the meat dumpling is quite good, chewy and tender.
It looks like meat and also like bird's nest.
Jiang Changning thinks that the reason why meat swallows are called meat swallows may not just be because they look like swallows.
The meat filling is not soft and muddy, but has a grainy texture and is a bit chewy.
The meat skin is crispy and refreshing, and together with the meat filling, it is fresh and fragrant.
Even though the meat dumplings were delicious, the couple's movements were slow and graceful.
While they were eating the meat dumplings, Chang Youzhong asked someone to tidy up the desk.
Prince Jin said, "Take that calligraphy and frame it and hang it in Jingshe Hall."
Jiang Changning raised his eyes and glanced at Prince Jin. "Jingshe" has two meanings. One is to rest quietly, and the other is specifically referring to the emperor not attending court.
The Prince of Jin has quite a lot of ambitions.
"The calligraphy is not good." Jiang Changning swallowed the meat dumpling in his mouth.
"It is well written, smooth but not fat, and extremely graceful," praised the King of Jin.
Jiang Changning pursed his lips and smiled, "It's not as good as you say."
"In my eyes, it's that good." Prince Jin looked at her with deep eyes.
Jiang Changning lowered his head to drink soup without looking at him.
After the couple finished eating the meat dumplings, they called the maid to come in and clear away the bowls and spoons.
Jiang Changning walked to the bookshelf and asked, "What kind of books does Yong Zhou like to read?"
"I read a lot of different books." King Jin pulled a book from the bookshelf, "I'm reading this one recently."
Jiang Changning thought it was a Buddhist scripture or something like that, but when he took the book and looked at it, he saw "The Book of Fan Sheng."
Turning to the page, it says: The basis of farming is to cultivate the soil in due season, to fertilize the soil, to weed early and harvest early…
"Fan Shengzhi Shu" is an agricultural book.
"Food is the people's first necessity, and agriculture is the foundation of a country," said the King of Jin.
Jiang Changning closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf. "I don't like reading this book. I like reading storybooks. They are more interesting and don't require much brainpower."
King Jin laughed, "To relieve boredom, a storybook is better."
Even if other women don’t understand, they will pretend to understand and act like talented women, but his little princess is straightforward and cute.
However, there were no storybooks on the bookshelf at that time, so Jiang Changning could only pick a travelogue to read.
One of the couple sat at the desk reading a farm book, while the other sat on the couch reading a travelogue.
At lunch time, the couple went to Rong Huitang, where the masters of Prince Jin's mansion had their meals.
The Concubine Dowager, Mrs. Qiao, and Princess Kangren have all arrived. When the Prince of Jin saw the Concubine Dowager, he smiled and said, "Mother."
Jiang Changning followed suit and called out, "Mother."
"Didn't you go out today?" The concubine knew that her son was busy and was not at home for meals nine out of ten days.
"Your Majesty said that his son just got married and gave him a holiday." Prince Jin lied. He asked for the wedding leave himself.
The Toffee snorted, "You're busy all the time, it would be nice to take a few days off."
"Mother is right." Prince Jin said with a smile.
