Chapter 55 Cooking
Is it true that no one will be harmed?
Of course not.
Others may not be sure, but Wei Xun is bound to be sad for a while.
But so what, Jiang Sui walked back slowly.
He couldn't care less.
Breathing the air of the capital one more time, his lungs will be hypoxic once more, and the tension of imminent disaster is always shrouded in his heart. Even Jiang Sui himself can't understand why his reaction is so big.
Although he didn't understand, he still wanted to follow his heart.
Going around the winding path and returning to Changle Temple, Jiang Sui didn't leave immediately, he turned to the main entrance of the temple, and stepped into the place where pilgrims would come to visit after offering incense.
There are three monks here, one is in charge of drawing lots, the other is in charge of selling scriptures, and the last one is selling some gadgets, such as amulets, jade pendants and so on.
Although all the things in the temple have been consecrated, there are also differences in consecration. For example, among the few jade pendants displayed, the worst ones only cost six taels of silver, while the highest ones cost 200 taels of silver.
One foot in the sky and one foot on the ground, no matter how much purchasing power you have, you can buy your favorite items here.
Jiang Sui was not interested in the business-minded monks who were dedicated to crossing people. He walked up to the third monk, turned around for a while, and finally pointed to an amulet in the corner.
"Please, little master, I want that."
The monk is not very old, he may only be in his teens, but his attire shows that he is no longer a monk, but a serious monk. Picking up what Jiang Sui wanted, he first recited a sentence of Amitabha, and then stretched out his hand Come: "Four, two, two, seven coins."
Jiang Sui: "..."
There are zeros and wholes.
He took out an ingot of five taels of silver, and the rest was used as incense money. Probably because there were more wealthy pilgrims in Changle Temple, the monk was not surprised, but just gave Jiang Sui another red rope.
This amulet was a wooden tablet, and Jiang Sui chose it because it was the only amulet without a Buddha image engraved on it. There was only a ten thousand-character Buddha seal on it, and a plausible poem engraved underneath.
——The small temple is lost in the deep mountains, and the lonely pavilion is lost in the lake.
Gently stroking the two lines of hidden sharp inscriptions, Jiang Sui passed the red string through, then picked up the red string, leaned over, and smelled the scent on the amulet.
There is a little faint fragrance, it should be made of sandalwood.
A sign carved from a small piece of wood is less than half the size of a palm, and it costs less than five taels of silver. The temple is really profitable.
Shaking his head, Jiang Sui put the amulet in his arms and went down the mountain.
It was originally said that on the 27th, Wei Xun came out of the palace to look for Jiang Sui, but after the court, Wei Xun was about to lift his legs to go out when Qin Wangshan told him that the regent had entered the palace in the morning.
Recently, when Jiang Sui went to court, he spent three days fishing and two days drying his nets. Sometimes he came and sometimes he didn't, as if it all depended on his mood.When others asked, they could only get the reason of being unwell. The two prime ministers could see that something was wrong, but the emperor didn't say anything, and the two of them were even less qualified to judge.
Wei Xun took off the emperor's crown that he would only wear in court, and walked quickly to the harem.
The entire harem has been abandoned for seven years. Except for the imperial garden, all the gates of the remaining palaces are closed. Jiang Sui occasionally comes to the imperial garden to relax, but he hasn't been here for a long time.
The layout of the imperial palace is like this, the most magnificent position in the center is where the emperor, empress, and empress dowager live. The scripture library and other special buildings are located, and the right side is where the princes and daughters live.
But Wei Xun is an unfavored prince. He has never lived in a proper prince's residence. When he was a child, he lived in the harem.
This is where Jiang Sui stands now.
——Fengque Terrace.
Or call it what it was called ten years ago, Leng Gong.
Throughout the ages, in fact, there is no cold palace in the imperial palace. After all, it sounds bad and unlucky, but every dynasty has a place called cold palace. As long as the emperor does not go there, there is a cold palace.
Fengque Terrace is such a place. Four concubines died in a row, one died of illness, and three were gifted to death. After the emperor stopped coming, this was the corner where the eunuchs flaunted their might, and Jiang Sui picked up the emaciated, Wei Xun had a fierce look in his eyes.
Wei Xun doesn't shy away from his past, even if the past is particularly shabby.In his opinion, he had a difficult life before, but it was not bitter, because at a young age, he was able to turn around those eunuchs.But Jiang Sui kept taboo, he wanted Wei Xun to become an emperor admired by all people, so he erased all the black spots in Wei Xun's life, no one could attack him from his origin, even if what they said was true , also does not work.
As soon as the crown prince fell, Jiang Sui took Wei Xun out and wanted to take him to live where the prince should live, but the place was not cleaned up, so he arranged Wei Xun in the Wenhua Palace, and waited for the prince to live. The place has been cleaned up, and the old emperor can't do it anymore.
In this way, Wei Xun lived in the Wenhua Palace for a few days, and then moved to the Wuying Palace. This stay lasted for seven years.
The emperor is growing rapidly in another place. The place where he spent his childhood has been abandoned year after year. Jiang Sui can't come here, and Wei Xun can't come here. Looking at it now, it's overgrown with weeds .
When Wei Xun came over, Jiang Sui was standing under the plaque in the main hall, looking up at the bird's nest built in unknown year on the plaque.
Wei Xun's steps were very steady, Jiang Sui heard the footsteps getting closer and closer as soon as he stepped on the threshold, and then a deep voice rang in his ears, "What is Ah Sui looking at?"
Jiang Sui sighed first, and then replied: "Look at my lost youth and time."
Wei Xun: "..."
The answer was so sad, what else could Wei Xun say, he could only watch along with it, but compared to Jiang Sui's sad spring and autumn, Wei Xun was as calm as if he had never been here before, after waiting patiently for a while, he He began to urge Jiang Sui.
The promised whole day, if you delay, the morning will be gone.
Jiang Sui turned his head and looked at him inexplicably, "Won't Your Majesty miss the past?"
Wei Xun replied straightforwardly: "No."
Jiang Sui choked, "...why?"
Now it's Wei Xun's turn to be puzzled, no, no, no why, but this was Jiang Sui's question, so he thought about it for a while, and said: "Nostalgia means nostalgia for things that existed in the past but don't exist now. Things. I can't think of anything I had in the past that I've lost now."
With reason and evidence, Jiang Sui was persuaded.
Thinking about Wei Xun's experience, and thinking about his own, Jiang Sui couldn't help laughing, seeing Wei Xun's puzzled expression again, the smile on his face grew wider, "Let's go, aren't we all in a hurry. "
Only then did Wei Xun feel happy, and returned to the Hall of Martial Heroes, changed into ordinary people's clothes, and the two of them went out from the Xihua Gate. While walking, Jiang Sui asked, "Do you want to go swimming in the lake?"
Wei Xun had never been on a boat in his life, so he nodded immediately when he heard this.
It's desolate to say, Wei Xun is obviously the most honorable person in the world, but he has never experienced many folk entertainments, such as swimming in the lake or brothels.
It was because he hadn't experienced it before that he couldn't understand his own mood that all men in the world had. Thinking of this, Jiang Sui sighed subtly.
……
In the past, Jiang Sui always went out with friends when he went out to swim in the lake. A few of them rented a boat together, went boating on the lake, drank and had fun, but this time, in order to make Wei Xun have a perfect memory, he directly spent the most luxurious The boat was bought.
There were no guests on the huge boat, only Jiang Sui and Wei Xun were sitting on the deck, and the rest of them were all servants, all of them lowered their heads, looking very humble.
Jiang Sui's hands trembled as the breeze blew by.
……unwise.
I knew I would have bought a small boat. Who would have thought that without the lively scenes, the lake tour would become so rigid and desolate.
Wei Xun didn't feel desolate, after all, he had never been here before, so he didn't know what it's like to swim in the lake normally.Fortunately, the singers and dancers on the boat were all there, Jiang Sui beckoned them to start performing, Wei Xun didn't look at them, he kept looking at the scenery of the mountains and lakes in the distance, his eyes were focused and bright.
After a while, seeing enough, he turned his head and asked enthusiastically, "Where shall we go when we swim across the lake?"
Jiang Sui replied, "The palace."
Wei Xun: "..."
He almost couldn't keep his smile on his face. Is this the itinerary that Jiang Sui was thinking about?It's too perfunctory!
Not even buying, buying, buying!
Jiang Sui knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression. He took a sip of tea and added, "It will take about an hour and a half before the boat docks. There are not many pedestrians, so let's ride all the way back. There are street markets along the way. Unlike Nancheng, this place is full of farmhouses, and the things they sell are also unique. As for the palace, I have already arranged it, and no one will disturb it. Tonight, I will Cook yourself."
After speaking, he waited for Wei Xun's reaction.
He thought that Wei Xun would be elated, but Wei Xun kept his current expression. After a while, he asked cautiously, "Ah Sui, have you ever cooked?"
Jiang Sui: "..."
After being aggrieved for a long time, he replied a little angrily: "No, if you're worried, forget it, I'll let the cook do it for you."
"No, no, I want Ah Sui to make it." Wei Xun hurried back to find love, "I won't eat anything except Ah Sui's cooking."
Only then did Jiang Sui show a smiling face.
Seeing him laugh, Wei Xun also laughed.
Swimming in the lake is just an appetizer for Wei Xun. He is not a fragile literati, so naturally he prefers more intense activities, such as riding a fast horse.In a year, except for hunting, Wei Xun didn't have much time to gallop his horse recklessly. Jiang Sui picked a road for him where no one was around, and he could run without any scruples. There is still a residual smile, the joy of this day can catch up with him beating up a hundred people in the martial arts arena.
As Jiang Sui said, the palace has already been arranged by him, Wei Xun entered through the main entrance, and no one was seen along the way.At noon, he ate the delicacies on the boat. After running all the way in the afternoon, the little food had already been digested. Wei Xun was looking forward to the big meal in the evening. Jiang Sui went to the kitchen, and Wei Xun followed. He wanted to see Jiang Sui serve him for him. Wash your hands for soup.
In Wei Xun's vision, Jiang Sui would definitely not be able to cook for him for the first time, but there are always three dishes and one soup. The stove fire made him sweat, and the stuffy air made him feel uncomfortable. But he still endured and created delicious food for himself.
But the reality is that there are no dishes and no soup. It took Jiang Sui an hour to set up half a tank of flour, an iron pot, a piece of clothing, and two locks of hair to make a bowl of longevity noodles with clear soup and little water.
When Jiang Sui held the noodles in front of his eyes, he hesitated for a long time before taking it.
It's not that he dislikes it, but he seems to have seen Jiang Sui put plant ash into his face just now...
Wei Xun raised his head, grinned, and took the longevity noodles as if he was dying, and ate them all in front of Jiang Sui. In order not to waste Jiang Sui's heart, he didn't even spare the soup.
After eating, Wei Xun burped.
... The taste is not flattering, and the aftertaste is even more terrible.
But Jiang Sui was very happy, so it was worth it.
Wei Xun was thinking about this, and the next second, he saw Jiang Sui walking aside, and took out the bacon, roast chicken, steamed fish, and pork rib soup prepared by the cook from the cabinet.
Really three dishes and one soup.
Wei Xun, who was supported by noodles: "..."
The world is not worth it.
