wedding dress

Chapter 128
There are not many dishes, and there is one pot on the table for one person.Zhao Lu and the others had strong alcohol on their table.

Zhao Lu didn't drink this kind of wine before.

"Spending the winter in Ye'an, although alcohol is banned in the army, it's too cold, and without some strong wine to warm your stomach, people in the city will freeze up after patrolling outside." Zhao Lu stood up and smelled it: "It smells good."

Xiaodong just felt rushed, and didn't know where the fragrance was.

Men and women are inherently different.Xiaodong is very sensitive to all kinds of smells and tastes. During the Chinese New Year, he drank a cup of Sanhua wine with Wang An.

She held the rose in her glass and clinked the glasses with those two.

The small dishes on the table were all her favorites, Qin Lie and Zhao Lu talked about it, and Xiaodong just immersed herself in eating the dishes.Qin Lie suddenly asked her: "The soup I drank at the palace last time tasted very fresh. I don't know how it was cooked?"

Xiaodong thought for a while: "Oh, that time. The soup actually used only limited ingredients, it was boiled with chicken broth, skim off the oil, add straw mushrooms, diced bamboo shoots, and fairy vegetables, and add two drops of sesame oil when cooking. It’s okay. Actually, it’s nothing, it’s probably because the Chinese New Year’s dishes are too greasy for you to eat, and the soup feels refreshing.”

Zhao Lu said: "Your sister has already learned how to make soup? You have to make it for me when you come back."

Xiaodong narrowed his eyes with a smile: "As long as my brother is not annoying, I will do it every day."

Zhao Lu naturally smiled contentedly, and seeing Qin Lie laughing like a cat stealing his mouth at a glance, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: What's so fun about him?He doesn't have a girl to make soup for him.

"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet. If it weren't for the pair of sleeve arrows you gave me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get away with it last time."

Qin Lie raised his glass and said, "My brother, why be polite."

The two had a drink.Xiaodong only heard the word Xiujian, and asked why.Zhao Lu said it lightly, and only said that he repelled the horse bandits while patrolling the city.Xiaodong clutched his sleeve tightly, although he knew that Zhao Lu was safe, but he still sounded scared.After Zhao Lu finished speaking, Xiaodong also raised the wine and said solemnly to Qin Lie: "Thank you cousin, if you hadn't given the body protection to brother..."

Qin Lie stopped her words: "They are all from my own family, why bother to say these things."

I usually hear these three words a lot. Now Xiaodong doesn't know why, but feels that Qin Lie's three words seem to have a deep meaning, and his face is slightly hot, which is covered by drinking. go.

As soon as Zhao Lu came back, he couldn't stay idle for a few days. The clan's children came to invite him, and his old friends also came to invite him. They all said that it was to catch up with the wind and wash away the dust. Xiaodong counted, with this frequency, let alone the dust, It's just that the skin has been washed off several layers.The Luo family brothers also invited him to a party. When Zhao Lu came back, he was six or seven points drunk, and his steps were steady, but he could tell from his eyes that he had too much alcohol.Xiaodong had ordered someone to make hangover soup, and it was served hot at this time, Zhao Lu drank a bowl, frowned and said, "Bitter."

"It's not bitter." Xiaodong took a sip, only sour taste: "How can it be bitter? It's because the root of your tongue is bitter."

Zhao Lu sighed: "Maybe. Oh, I drank a lot today, and Luo Wei cried."

The unlucky sixth son-in-law Luo Wei...

Presumably there is suffering and there is nowhere to complain, and I was full of wine and suffocated into tears, right?
Xiaodong is also full of sympathy for him.But sympathy is useless. In this era, although men can divorce their wives, it is not said that sons-in-law can divorce princesses.

"What did he say?"

"I didn't say anything, that is to say, I was woken up by the sixth princess twice in the night, and I was forced to ask who I saw in the dream, and whose name it was..."

Xiaodong rolled her eyes, mother, I heard that some tough wives control their husbands from head to toe, and from the inside to the outside, but the sixth princess even had to ask clearly who she met in Luo Wei's dream, which is better than those tough wives. One level deeper, how will Luo Wei live these days.But why does the sixth princess suspect that Luo Wei has someone else in his heart?

Xiaodong thinks back, in the past, when Yao Jinfeng was still there, Luo Wei would blush whenever he saw her.No matter whether he came to Jinfeng by himself or sent a letter for the third prince, Xiaodong believed that he must have admiration and infatuation for Jinfeng.

However, that was already a few years ago, and Jinfeng had left the capital long ago.

Maybe Luo Wei has someone else in mind?This is unknown.Anyway, even if there is no one now, the sixth princess will have to force one out sooner or later.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Double Ninth Festival was approaching, and the weather was getting cooler day by day. Xiaodong accepted the post, and it was the fourth princess' treat, inviting people to enjoy the chrysanthemum.Xiaodong went to socialize and said goodbye before coming back. The fourth princess became more and more beautiful after giving birth, and she spoke kindly and thoughtfully. The atmosphere was good at first, but it was a pity that the atmosphere was bad when the sixth princess arrived. She didn't look very good. If I use it thicker, the powder on my face is white, and it looks like red and white complement each other. It doesn't make people feel cute, but it feels a little fake, like a stage makeup.She has not been married for a long time, but there is no girl's innocence and charm between her eyebrows. She is wearing a tall flying fairy bun, wearing a magenta palace dress with a double lotus heart collar, and a pleated skirt sprinkled with golden flowers. The description is exquisite, just like a lady.

Others laughed at her with a cold face, but when others praised the flowers, she was bitter and picky, and those who said that the wine was not good, the food was not good, the flowers were not good, and the people who came here were not good. Needless to say, what words would irritate her again out of fear.Xiaodong found a chance to leave early, and when he came out, he was taken aback. Luo Wei was talking to two people not far from the door, whether they were porters or grooms. His robe was neat, but the color was like soy sauce. No matter how you look at it, you are not energetic.

Xiaodong was about to get in the car, Luo Wei glanced this way, was stunned for a while, and hurriedly left the two people in front of him and came towards this side.

Xiaodong had no choice but to stand still and wait for him to come.

"The princess is here too? Are you going back now?"

"Well, I've been busy preparing for the holiday these two days, so I don't have time. Why don't you go in when you're here?"

Luo Wei laughed self-deprecatingly: "I sent the princess here—there are all female relatives inside, what am I going in for?"

Xiaodong didn't know what to say to him, so he had to be polite: "Come to the palace when you have time, and my brother often mentions you."

She got in the car and left first. Hongfu rubbed her shoulders and said in a low voice: "The last time I saw Mr. Luo, he was quite energetic. Looking at it now, he seems to be ten or twenty years older."

Yes, no spirit at all.

It turned out that Luo Wei always held his head high and his chest high, and his voice was loud.Now it looks like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out and its claws cut.

"At that time, he had a bright future, and his life was promising."

Even if the sixth princess didn't have such a personality, she would not be able to hold a real job if she became a son-in-law, and Luo Wei would have no future to speak of.

Seeing that she was depressed, Hongfu hurriedly changed the conversation: "By the way, doesn't the second aunt of the Shen family live not far in front? The county chief, don't you want to recognize her?"

Xiaodong cheered up: "Really? Just this area?"

"Isn't it?" Hong Fu asked the guards outside, then turned her head and said, "Turn left at the front street corner, and you'll be there for a cup of tea."

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

The alley where Shen Fang lived was a bit narrower, but fortunately the car could still enter. The guard asked about the house and knocked on the door. Someone answered, and Shen Fang unexpectedly came out from inside.

"Oh, what a distinguished guest. Why are you here?"

"Passing by here, come and recognize the door."

"Nothing is cleaned up at home, it's very messy." Shen Fang was a little flustered at first, and then smiled: "Don't joke, come in and talk."

The courtyard is indeed not big, it is said that there are two entrances, and the front is just a hall with two side rooms, it seems that servants live there.Go further in and enter the main room.Shen Fang pointed to the east chamber and said, "We live in this room, and Bao'er lives in the west."

"Huh? Where's Bao'er?"

"She caught a cold and fell asleep after taking medicine."

"Is it important?"

"It's okay, I think I kicked the quilt at night."

Shen Fang led Xiaodong over, the little girl was really fast asleep, her face was as red as an apple.Xiaodong put down a small purse beside her pillow, and exited lightly.

The house is clean and tidy, and all the wooden utensils are half-old.

"Some of these were left by the original landlord, and some were collected by relatives." Shen Fang said with a smile: "I live in a rented house, and I don't want to clean it up carefully. I always feel that it is not my own place, and it is meaningless to clean it up."

This is a lack of sense of belonging.

But Shen Fang is a capable person, even though she said she didn't tidy up, she still looks tidy.

A servant girl came in with tea, Xiaodong glanced at her when receiving the tea, and found that her waist was swollen, even if the skirt was long and fat, it couldn't hide it.

Shen Fang laughed at herself and said, "The place is too small. I don't know how to live when this one is born."

Xiaodong didn't answer the words, Shen Fang's heart must not be as open as her mouth.But at this time, a woman wants to be a "good wife", and such heart-piercing things are absolutely unavoidable.

Shen Fang asked: "You are so neatly dressed today, what did you do?"

"The fourth princess invited guests to enjoy the chrysanthemums. I thought it was boring, so I came back first."

"Fourth princess..."

Shen Fang was once her accompanying reader, and that was not a very pleasant experience.However, Shen Fang was very open-minded when she said it: "During that time, I met many people and went through a lot of things. Speaking of it, I have more experience than others. The fourth princess is a person who cares about face, and treating others is not counted. harsh."

But it's not generous either.

The two talked for a while, and after drinking a cup of tea, Xiaodong left.Hongfu still seemed to be in a bad mood after Xiaodong came out, she could vaguely guess something, but she didn't know what to say.

Girls always want to marry when they grow up, but after getting married, how many of them can live a carefree and happy life like when they were girls?
Xiaodong opened the curtain a little bit to look outside, and asked softly, "The last time you went home, how was your house?"

Hongfu froze for a moment before remembering to ask her, and hurriedly said: "Everything is fine at home. My brother has married his sister-in-law and had a child, and my nephew is almost as tall as a table. My sister is also married, and the family situation is much better than before. County I left the silver that the Lord rewarded me to my family..."

Xiaodong listened to what she was saying, but he didn't take it into his heart, he just felt a little dazed, but he didn't think about anything.

The street is busy and the cars are not moving fast.When he was about to cross the street, someone suddenly caught up from behind, turned his riding whip and knocked off the wall of the car: "Sister Xiaodong."

Xiaodong looked up and saw Qin Lie's face. He leaned over from the horse's back, the distance between their faces was less than a foot, Qin Lie smiled slightly, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his face was indescribably heroic.
