After I bloom, a hundred flowers will kill

Chapter 481 The meaning of the wild goose
Looking straight at it with the princess, is he thinking about how to cook?

For a moment Pearl was stunned and inexplicably amused, and even felt that such a princess was very lovely: "The servant girl will carry it to Ziyu."

"After it's done, remember to send half of it to the East Palace." Shen Xihe couldn't help but remind.

Pearl couldn't help laughing, she decided to deliver it herself, and wanted to see His Royal Highness's reaction.

Wild geese are a must-have item for the betrothal gifts of wealthy households. Of course, not everyone can catch wild geese alive, and even if they themselves cannot catch wild geese, they will ask someone to catch two as a front.

Wild geese are not kept by anyone, so naturally they can't be kept, and they usually become a Chinese meal, but the bride-to-be talks about cooking and gives the cooking method, which is really unprecedented.

After Shen Yueshan looked at the betrothal gift, he was actually a little melancholy. This meant that his daughter was one step closer to marrying. When he returned to the inner courtyard with a desolate expression, he welcomed Biyu. Eat soup."

Even the daughter's delicacies couldn't arouse interest, Shen Yueshan lacked interest, but still went to the inner courtyard, sat on the table, Shen Xihe brought the stewed wild goose soup in front of him, and asked someone to serve a slice of it. Good geese grilled meat: "Try it, Daddy, is it different from our geese in the northwest?"

Shen Yueshan's piercing eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Shen Xihe: "Big geese?"

She pursed her lips and nodded with a smile: "Two geese."

Where did the wild geese come from, there were still two, it goes without saying that Shen Yueshan's worries were swept away immediately, and the small courtyard was filled with bold and unrestrained laughter in an instant, and he started to eat.

"Yeah, the soup is fresh and meaty..." commented while eating.

Sitting beside her, Shen Xihe watched her father's smile gradually spread, and couldn't help showing a smile. She actually knew that when he saw the betrothal gift today, even if he had accepted the fact that his daughter was going to marry, he would still feel sad, so Only then did he coax him.

I don't know if eating the wild geese sent by his son-in-law really had a miraculous effect, anyway, Shen Yueshan selectively forgot about his daughter's marriage, and he was happy all day long.

Different from Shen Yueshan's cheerfulness, Xiao Huayong was very happy when he heard that the princess's mansion sent a food box. When a plate of roasted meat was served, the plate was very beautifully arranged. Now, no matter how he looked at it, he felt something was wrong.

"Tianyuan, come and see, what kind of roasted meat is this?" Xiao Huayong couldn't believe it, his wild goose had only been delivered in the morning, and it became a dish on the plate.

Tianyuan shrinks his neck, he and Xiao Huayong have been wandering for many years, they can be said to eat all the edible things in the world, this roasted wild goose has also been eaten, he recognized it at a glance, but he dare not say it.

"Your Highness, Miss Pearl is still waiting outside, my subordinate is blind, why don't you ask Miss Pearl to come and ask?" Tianyuan resolutely evaded.

Xiao Huayong gave him a cool look: "Please come in."

Pearl bowed and came in to salute Xiao Huayong: "My servant, see Your Highness..."

"Exemption." Xiao Huayong interrupted her impatiently, and asked, "What is this roasted meat?"

"Return to Your Highness, this is roasted wild goose meat." Pearl replied truthfully.

Xiao Huayong's face froze immediately, in fact, he had seen it a long time ago, but he was a little unwilling to give up, even after hearing Pearl's words, he was still a little unwilling to give up: "Where do the geese come from?"

"It's the betrothal gift sent by His Highness this morning." Pearl completely shattered Xiao Huayong's last hope.

For a moment Xiao Huayong was a little speechless, he didn't know what expression to put on, and he didn't know what to say.

Pearl boldly raised her head quietly, and saw His Highness the Crown Prince staring blankly at the plate of roasted wild geese, with a somewhat pitiful expression on his face, just when she thought Xiao Huayong was about to say something, who would have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would start eating with the chopsticks .

As soon as the grilled meat was in his mouth, he nodded lightly, and his face turned into a radiant face that was pleased by the food. The more he ate, the more delicious it became, making Tianyuan stand aside and swallowed. This wild goose was different from what he ate in the past. It's getting richer.

Pearl also smelled it, but after all she had eaten Ziyu's craftsmanship, she could still look normal, she poured another bowl of soup for Xiao Huayong, let Xiao Huayong eat it with him, and let Xiao Huayong eat happily.

When Xiao Huayong ate the wings, he found that its skin was cut open, he used a pair of chopsticks to stretch in along the opening, and pulled out a small bamboo tube, opened the bamboo tube and poured out a small paper roll, on which was Shen Xihe's handwriting.

Yongyong Mingyan, the dawn of the sun.Scholars are like returning to their wives, but the ice is not warm.

This is the reason for the custom of wild geese as dowry gifts, Xiao Huayong couldn't help laughing holding the scroll.

He didn't care about eating half of the food, so he wiped his hands casually, stood up and walked to the study, and wrote a letter, and handed it to Pearl: "Hongyan passed on the book, and I have already received the book, so you can treat me with the book." Hand it over."

After Pearl received the salute, she left the East Palace.

As soon as Shen Xihe coaxed Shen Yueshan well, Pearl came back with Xiao Huayong's letter, which contained an allusion about wild geese.

The reason why the wild goose became a dowry gift is because it is the most affectionate among birds. If a pair of geese loses its spouse, the other goose will stay together for life and will never find another mate, which represents a pair for life.

Many people would send geese as betrothal gifts, but no one has ever explored the real meaning behind the geese.

This is by no means a symbol of family status and face, a pair of geese is a kind of loyalty commitment.The ridiculous thing is that many people send geese just as a formality.

From Pan Yang's friendship to the wild goose allusion, he has always taken the trouble to show her that she is enough for him in this life.

Shen Xihe Rao had a heart of stone, but one day she put the letter away.

Pearl discovered that the princess finally treasured the things sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In the past, such unintentional gifts, or ordinary letters, were all disposed of at will.

For a long time afterwards, Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong relied on correspondence. As the wedding day approached, it was customary for them not to meet each other. It was said that it was unlucky to meet before marriage. Shen Xihe did not believe in Buddhism and Taoism. People, scoff at that.

But Xiao Huayong is very concerned, as the saying goes, we meet before marriage, but we don't see each other after marriage.

Because he was nervous about this marriage, he would rather believe it than believe it, and follow every step of etiquette. This is probably the most polite time Shen Xihe has ever seen Xiao Huayong.

In February, preparations for the big wedding were already in full swing. On this day, for some reason, Princess Yaoxi won a dispute with Lie Wang Xiao Chang, and was accidentally pushed into the lotus pond in the palace by Lie Wang. bump into.

Then came the news that King Lie was punished twenty times by Emperor Youning, and the next day Emperor Youning issued a decree to make Princess Yaoxi the concubine Shu.She became one of the four concubines and the only concubine with a title.

Princess Yaoxi became Emperor Youning's first foreign concubine and entered the harem in mid-February, and it is said that she is much loved.
