Chapter 46 Peach Blossom Crisp

Feast Bell lay on the bed.On a hot day, she covered herself with the quilt, including her face.The quilt in summer is thin, and she can blow up the quilt on her face between breaths—it can be seen that her breath is short and long.

Seeing her, Mother Xu cautiously went out and asked Guan Gui, "What's the matter, girl?"

Guan Gui didn't know why, "I don't know, it's like this as soon as I come back."

They are no strangers to girls like this.I got used to it when I was young.Sometimes she quarrels with people because she is stupid and can't win the quarrel, and the Lingnan area is fighting for force. She is like a scholar who meets a soldier, and then goes home and covers herself with a quilt to suffocate herself-this is called sulking.Sometimes I did something wrong, and I pulled up the quilt obediently, "to be covered", and I was ashamed to see others.

When Mr. Jing passed away, the girl cried for a long time covered with a quilt. Guan Gui called this "crying with her head covered".Now I see the girl with her head covered again, but I don't know if she is sullen or ashamed to see others.

Anyway, crying is not crying.

Mother Xu felt that there were not as many officials and maids as there were maids in the Duke's Mansion, and scolded: "Look at Suxin! Fifth Miss knows that she will eat less food, how about you? You wish the girl would not eat, so that the girl can be taken away." I ate all the food!"

Guan Gui felt wronged.

"The girl doesn't want to eat, so naturally I can't force her to eat. If she doesn't eat, the food is wasted. What does it matter if I eat?"

She and the girl are like sisters, and she won't harm the girl!Guan Gui shook off Mother Xu's hand, "I'll go ask the girl what happened."

She entered the room, crouched on the bedside cautiously and asked, "Girl, why have you been wronged?"

The feast bell blew, "No."

Guan Gui: "Then you did something wrong?"

Feast Bell stopped talking.

Guan Gui then climbed onto the bed, gently pulled back the quilt, and saw the girl's face was sweaty and blushing, obviously bored.She was startled, and quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe her face, and then she was terrified: what a mistake I made to toss myself like this.

Think again: Gu Nian just came back from his concubine, could it be that he did something wrong in front of his concubine?Will he be annoyed by his aunt?
Hey, living in someone else's house, no matter how good my concubine is, it's not as good as my own, and I'm not married anyway, so I might as well pack up and go back to Lingnan.

Then she revealed a piece of news, "Girl, in fact, Zhuang Erlang, the farmer's nephew, likes you."

Sheng Yanling is blaming herself for her shameless behavior towards her cousin. She has always done good deeds, but now she has "evil" thoughts, which is really unacceptable.

After hearing Guan Gui's words, he was stunned, "Zhuang Erlang?"

Guan Gui nodded, "Yes, it would be nice to marry Zhuang Erlang. He is the only one in his family, and he raises cattle. There are hundreds of cattle, enough for us to live."

Sheng Yanling's sad heart trembled, and said, "Forget it then."

Zhuang Erlang was born like a cow, and he really couldn't entrust him for life.

Guan Gui sighed, "Hey, there are so many cows in his family."

Once this matter was interrupted, Sheng Yanling was very strange, and she didn't feel so sad.She said, "So...let's stay in Kyoto and marry a scholar."

Mother Xu poked her head in and saw that Shengyan Bell was much better, so she hurriedly said, "Do you want to have lunch?"

Shengyan bell: "Eat. Fifth sister isn't eating at home today?"

Mother Xu laughed, "Aunt Niu's flower and fruit shop just opened, and she went to help settle the accounts. The concubine said that it should be considered as the dowry in advance."

Sheng Yanling: "Auntie is really kind. As such, even if Aunt Niu is running the shop for Fifth Sister, after Fifth Sister gets married, she will see her often."

But my aunt is so nice, yet I take her son as my husband, it's really abominable.

She was determined not to see her cousin recently.

Fortunately, Ning Shuo was very busy in the next few days, and the two of them had no chance to meet each other.Li Shi said: "Since the last time he came back from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, your uncle has held him in high regard and often asked him to write policy reports, and he also studied with Mr. Bu Yuchuan. It is said that he reads the case files of the Ministry of Punishment, but now he focuses on Muzhou. The case file, I have been dazed these few days, I seem to forget to eat and sleep, I talk less, and smile less, hey, I am afraid that he will return to the dull and dull look before."

Sheng Yanling forgave him, "Cousin knows that it is good to work hard, those who don't work hard are the ones who make the elders worry."

Li sighed, "As a mother, I only hope that he is healthy."

Then he said, "Last time at the Duke of Zhen's mansion, you and your elder sister didn't have a good talk. I'll be busy in a few days. After sending your grandmother back to Muzhou's hometown, I'm going to take you to the fourth prince's mansion." After walking around for a while, another incident happened in the court today, so I'm afraid it will be postponed."

Feast bell: "What happened?"

Mrs. Li said in a low voice: "Your eldest sister said that Jin Wang's birth mother, Concubine Yu Guifei, seems to be taking a step up and will soon become a queen."

Sheng Yanling was taken aback, "The noble concubine is the queen... what about the prince?"

Even a little girl like her who knows nothing about the world knows that if the imperial concubine becomes the queen, it will be even more difficult for the prince.

Your Majesty is not giving the prince a good life.But if you don't give the prince a good life, why let the Zhen Guo government hold such a big birthday banquet?
She couldn't figure it out.

Li Shi couldn't figure it out either, but this matter wasn't something she could think about either.She said: "The things in the court hall can be left to the gentlemen, but on the imperial concubine's side, we still have to prepare congratulatory gifts. This is the most difficult thing."

Ningguo's government is neutral, so it's not good to send it too heavy, and it's not good to send it too lightly.Li Shi was very embarrassed.But there are also happy things, she said, "This time the fourth prince also walked up the stairs, and His Majesty personally named him the prince, titled Shun."

The fourth prince and concubine became King Shun.

So the fourth prince and concubine became busy and had no time to take care of Sheng Yanling's marriage.But Li Shi was not worried, and said: "As a princess, planning for you is bound to be much smoother than as a prince and concubine."

Sheng Yanling: "It's not urgent, I just got divorced and I'm not very old, so I can wait a year."

There are many girls who get married in Lingnan.It's a year or two earlier to get married in Kyoto, but getting married is not uncommon.

Li patted her hand, "Don't worry, I've searched all over the capital, and I'm sure I'll be able to find one that does what I want."

This matter has almost become Li's obsession.

After she finished chanting, she called her mother-in-law to come in again, "Shuo'er will be back later, hurry up and ask the kitchen to make some bean cakes for him."

When Sheng Yanling heard this, she tried her best to keep her mouth shut.But Li Shi saw it, and asked curiously: "Yan Ling, do you have something to say?"

Sheng Yanling shook her head quickly, "No, I have nothing to say."

Li Shi couldn't help asking, "You are not a child who can lie, your face is blushing, what else is there to say in front of me? Just say it, aunt will make the decision for you."

Sheng Yanling held back, but she still couldn't hold back, and said in a low voice, "My cousin doesn't seem to like bean cakes that much, he likes peach blossom cakes."

Li Shi was surprised, "Really?"

Sheng Yanling thought of her cousin eating peach blossom cakes, and thought that her cousin should like it.If she really likes to eat, then it's fine for her to talk about it.She just nodded, "Yes."

Li Shi laughed loudly, "You, you are just too timid, so there is nothing wrong with that."

After she finished speaking, she said to the mother-in-law: "Go, let the kitchen make a plate of peach blossom cakes for the third young master."

So, when Ning Shuo came back from Bu Yuchuan's house, he saw three plates of peach blossom cakes on the table.

Ning Shuo: "..."

Four years can not escape the fate.

He laughed aloud, but it surprised the servants around him: The third young master hasn't laughed for several days since he watched the Muzhou official case.

When he went to the kitchen to fetch hot water, he said to the cook: "The third young master seems to like peach blossom cakes very much. You can make more tomorrow, and I will take them to Buyu Mansion."

The cook was worrying that he would not have a chance to please the third young master, so he used his whole body tricks to make five plates of peach blossom cakes.

On the second day, when Ning Shuo was at Buyu's mansion, he saw the three plates of peach blossom cakes that the servant gave to Bu Yuchuan, and also saw the two plates on his own table.

He took a deep breath, but still picked up a piece and ate it.

Forget it, forget it, everything is the same.

Seeing his expression like this, Bu Yuchuan smiled, "You have always been mature, but today you have failed."

Ning Shuo said, "Yes... I ate a lot."

But Bu Yuchuan said: "If you really like it, you won't get tired of eating it no matter how much you eat."

Ning Shuo realized that Bu Yuchuan was somewhat similar to Yanling.Yanling is pure, but what is Buyuchuan?

He looked at Bu Yuchuan with complicated eyes.

Such a person has everything, why should he help King Jin?

He really couldn't figure it out.

 Let’s start with a chapter today~the following catechisms will be an outline, see you tomorrow.
