Qingchuan History

Chapter 491
Lunch at a farmhouse.

It must have taken a lot of effort to find a family with a big square table, but this family was not good at cooking, so they moved the big table to another family with more refined meals. There was a bang, and the three monarchs each chose to sit on one side, while the remaining four girls stared blankly at the remaining vacant seats.

In the cottages in the borderlands, there is no one-chair treatment for each person, and there are benches on all sides of the square table.There are seven people in total, so two people should be seated on three sides and one person on one side.

How to sit down became a problem.

It is impossible for the monarchs to sit on one side in two, and because of their status and the tallness of the men, they each occupied one side early.

Gu Chunfeng would either suffer from Gu Xinglang or Ruan Xueyin.

Ruan Xueyin can only be Gu Xinglang or Jing Tingge.

Only Murong Xun or Ruan Xueyin can play Jingting Song.

Ji Wanling can only Gu Xinglang.

Gu Chunfeng was even more reluctant than Ruan Xueyin to allow Ji Wanling and Gu Xinglang to sit side by side.She concentrated on calculations for a long time, pushed Ruan Xueyin to the empty seat beside Gu Xinglang, sat down on the bench that was completely empty, pointed to the side and said to Ji Wanling:
"Sit with me." The understatement did not cover the disgust on his face.

In this way, Jing Tingge Murong Xun faced Gu Chunfeng and Ji Wanling.Ruan Zhong sat alone, facing Gu Xinglang and Ruan Xueyin.

Still a little miserable.Gu Chunfeng curled his lips and looked at his brother and sister-in-law quietly.

Ruan Xueyin looked at the furnishings in the house with indifferent eyes.Gu Xinglang's attitude was leisurely, so that his brows and eyes were shining brightly.

It's not about relying on her to save the day!Gu Chunfeng was angry and couldn't help sweeping Ruan Zhong from the corner of his eye.

No expression.It seems that he is also looking at the furnishings in the house.

She always felt that there was something strange, followed his gaze and turned her gaze, only to find that the place where the other party was looking coincided with Ruan Xueyin, it was——

A rattle?
Inserted obliquely in an old bamboo tube, it doesn't look like a decoration, it should be a children's plaything.There is a child in this family, who was playing at the door earlier, but at this moment, he was called into the back room by his family members because of the occasion.

"Like." Ruan Zhong said lightly, and glanced at Ruan Xueyin.

Ruan Xueyin was a little startled, and looked back at him as if surprised, she said "Yes" and looked away.

"What kind of tacit understanding is this?" Jing Tingge looked at Ruan Zhong and then at Ruan Xueyin seriously, "Is it a childhood token?"

Even with a half-smile, he turned around to look at the rattle, which happened to be behind her,
"Song drum."

Rocking drums are common children's items, and they can be found in all parts of Qingchuan, but the production process is different.The pine drum is popular in Yinbei. The long thin pine bark is used as the drum ring, and the casing skin is stretched on both sides of the drum. It is usually decorated with colorful paintings, and then tied with small pine cones as pendants.

"It's the same as the one she used to hold in her hand when she was a child." Ruan Zhongping said, "but it's only made of copper, the drum is wrapped in crepe, and the sound is hollow when shaken."

He said while looking at Ruan Xueyin for confirmation.

Ruan Xueyin didn't know that Ruan Zhong remembered the drum.Even she herself remembered this one when she saw the one in the house.

"Yes." Then he answered lightly, not wanting to appear tacit understanding.

"How does that look like?" Jing Tingge was excited.

"The pine cone is the pendant, only the Yinbei pine drum. Her drum is made of copper, and the pendulum on both sides is also made of copper, but it is made into a pine cone shape."

"A more refined pine drum is for princes and princesses." Jing Tingge nodded.

"Color paintings also look like it." Ruan Zhong looked at the rattle drum in the bamboo tube again, "A big white flower with a yellow pistil."

Like epiphyllum.Gu Xinglang had been listening to their chorus with a blank expression, and finally couldn't hold back his eyes, and saw the big white flower that was roughly painted but looked like an epiphyllum.

"It's really different from our rattle drum." But Ji Wanling whispered to Gu Xinglang, "The silver pendant you gave me in the past was made of emerald jade beads. I thought it was unique enough. I heard it today. The wild fruit is more interesting, and it is better than gold, jade, pearl and emerald."

In fact, this remark was received smoothly, and the key point was hidden in retreat.

Gu Xinglang was also slightly taken aback before reflecting on the point of this remark, "Ah. Mmm."

What a reaction.Gu Chunfeng frowned, cleared his throat and stroked his stomach, "Why don't you come to eat? You're starving to death."

Shen Ji guarded the door with his ears pricked up and waited for orders. Hearing this, he came in and saluted:
"I'm going to ask you."

The dishes are served dish by dish, natural and rough, with no particular attention to the color, aroma and knife skills of the ingredients.They held up their chopsticks one after another, but they couldn't put them down. The same rough and blackened chopsticks were hanging in the air. Jing Tingge smiled, picked up half a piece of black jerky and chewed it.
"It's not poisonous. Eat it."

The Three Kingdoms marched to Suoning, and suddenly stopped and went to the village to have a meal. It was called a rest, but it was really like a trap.Everyone can't eat chopsticks, one is because they are not used to the too rough farm food, and the other is because they have to pay attention to every porridge and meal in extreme times.

Ruan Xueyin picked up the food in response, and Chunfeng followed, each of them pretended nothing happened and they didn't hear Jing Tingge's words at all, and began to eat.

But it was hard to eat.Jing Tingge is the most used, followed by Ruan Xueyin and Ruan Zhong. Although Gu Xinglang, Murong Xun, and Gu Chunfeng have difficulty swallowing, they can barely open their mouths.

Ji Wanling poked the sticky rice grains in the bowl without opening her mouth for a long while.

Everyone noticed, no one said anything.Gu Chunfeng was even more disgusted with glancing at her bowl and the plain hand poking the rice, curled his lips and continued to eat.

Gu Xinglang looked at it again and then said:

"The soup is not bad, you can drink some." Seeing that there were either green beans or dried meat on the plate in front of her, he knew she didn't like it, so he signaled Chunfeng,

"Exchange this plate of green vegetables."

The plate of small vegetables was in front of Ruan Xueyin.Ruan Xueyin doesn't like green vegetables, but Ji Wanling likes them, so it's reasonable to distribute them like this.

"If you want to change it yourself." Gu Chunfeng bluffed.Is it over? !

"Your Highness, you can change seats directly with His Majesty Qi Jun." Jing Ting smiled, "It will save your Majesty the inconvenience of changing dishes for Mrs. Yu."

Ruan Xueyin put down the bowl and chopsticks, took out the silk and wiped her mouth lightly, "I'm done eating, you take it easy."

At the end of the day, the sun was even stronger, and the farm boy was not called into the back room, but was playing with throwing stones in the open space farther away.

Children who live in the highlands outside the Guan, have two patches of natural red on their cheeks. After being frozen in winter or exposed to the scorching sun, the redness seems to pop out from the cheeks; Four or five years old is a lovely time.

She walked over and knelt down to pick up stones with him.

The child seemed withdrawn, or maybe it was just shy of strangers, the two of them picked and threw it together for a long while without saying a word.

"Is it fun?" Ruan Xueyin asked proactively.

The child didn't look at her, just nodded, and continued to throw stones at the low bushes in the distance.

"The game that the little boy likes. What does the little girl like at this time." She continued, talking softly to herself.

"Reading, weeding, grinding medicine, watching the sun rise and moon set, listening to thunder, lightning and wind and rain."

Jing Tingge didn't know when it came out, and squatted down to pick up the stones on the ground,

"How do we know how to play at this time? Watching the sun and the moon and listening to the wind and rain is just playing. If you want to know how ordinary four or five-year-old girls play, you have to ask the two inside."

Ruan Xueyin continued to pick up stones and throw them, "Is it ready to eat so soon?"

"It's not as fast as you."

"Don't dare to be unhappy."

Jing Tingge knew what she meant and didn't argue, handed the newly picked stones to the child's hand, and said a few more words about how to throw them farther, Fang smiled and said:
"You never provoke children, why did you change your sex?"

"Aren't you too." Ruan Xueyin held each other's arms and stood up with mutual support, "You used to avoid them, but today you have the patience to teach people to throw stones."

She was watching Jing Ting Ge in the sunlight, her complexion was still pale, and she was full of energy.

"Have you had a bad appetite recently?"

It was not unusual to see her eating at the table just now.

Jing Tingge had never heard her greet her coldly and warmly like this, so she was dumbfounded and replied:

"It's nothing bad. My life is hard, I can eat tree bark and grass roots, so I don't look like them. Just now you came out and didn't see that Ji Wanling almost vomited after drinking soup. It's incomparable."
