Jinghua little cook

The cold winter that belongs only to the capital city shines in Bai Wu's eyes, bringing the breath of the ocean with every breath.

In the past few months of leaving, Bai Wu seemed to have grown up a lot. Not only was he taller, but his shoulders had also become broad and strong.

As soon as he arrived at the palace, before he could take off his armor, he rushed to Emperor Qing's palace with the battle flag on his back.

Bai Wu's expression was solemn, and the candlelight reflected the twinkling of his eyes. He knelt down on one knee and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Qing.

A victory in the battle and a dangerous escape have now brought about the reunion of the family and the safety of the people of Qingzhou.

Not only Emperor Qing's eyes were covered with red threads at this moment, but even the always naughty and unruly Bai Ye and the gentle Baizhu were moved when they saw it.

Outside, Bai Wu is a general, but at home, he is still the youngest of the family.

Bai Ye stepped forward and helped the person up. There were still salt particles dried from the sea on the shoulder armor. He patted it down gently. Bai Ye pushed the person forward and sat at the table.

The dishes are all home-cooked dishes. I didn't bother with the Food Bureau and only left them to the small kitchen in the harem.

The taste is not that good, but fortunately Ah Wu can have a hot bite when he gets home.

Bai Wu took a bite of the roasted winter bamboo shoots that Emperor Qing had given him, and smiled at Bai Ye: "It's not as delicious as the emperor's sister-in-law's."

Bai Ye rolled his eyes, but felt warm in his heart.

I was in a hurry to go out this morning and didn't have time to go next door for morning tea. I didn't know if the man would be slandering him in his heart. He would have to buy some roasted chestnuts to coax him later.

During the quarter of an hour when Bai Ye's mind was far away, the people around him were already talking to each other.

Emperor Qing was deeply pleased with Bai Wu's growth, and his eyes couldn't help but become gentle when he looked at him.

When I turned around, I saw three or four paper rolls piled at hand. The four sides of the paper rolls were wrinkled yellow, as if they had been washed by water.

When he opened it, he found a Qingzhou coastal defense map drawn by Yue Lai Bai Wu himself. Every navigation mark was completed by him during on-the-spot inspections and under the stars. He only had this map, and he spent half his life protecting it when the sea water poured in.

"Is there anything unusual in Qingzhou?" Emperor Qing asked.

Several children raised their heads and looked at each other, Bai Wu said: "My dear minister, it seems that Qingzhou has been pacified, and the traitor King Chu has been escorted to Beijing and imprisoned in Dali Temple. We only need to wait for the ships from the Ministry of Works to arrive next month, and shipping will be It’s open now.”

"The King of Chu is cunning and cunning. It won't be easy for you to catch him in a few months."

Bai Wu said: "It's all General Lu's credit. I dare not take the credit for this battle."

Emperor Qing put down the map and nodded.

Even if Bai Wu didn't say it, he still understood the key to victory in this battle, and when the master returned to the court this time, it was time for him to fulfill his promise to Lu Zisheng.

The family ate and had fun, and after the official business was over, they started talking about private matters. This time of drinking and drinking went into the middle of the night in the blink of an eye.

Bai Ye came home with a drunken face. It was late at night and the weather was still cold. Roosters were crowing and dogs were barking. He didn't even carry a lantern in his hand. Only the stars reflected by the wind lamp across the street shone brightly.

He wandered back like this, showing no intention of rushing home.

"Second brother!" someone called from behind.

The horses' hooves clattered like thunder from the sky.

In the haziness, Bai Ye looked at it for a long time before he saw clearly the appearance of the person riding on a blue and white horse, carrying billowing smoke.

The young man on the horse is majestic and handsome. He is very different from the young man who just followed Bai Shu when he first came to Beijing.

"Your palace is not here." Bai Ye teased, "Maybe I've been out for too long and can't find my own courtyard."

The two looked at each other and chuckled, Bai Ye pulled the reins and continued walking back.

Bai Wu followed up on horseback: "Second brother, do you want to stay in the capital?"

In front of his family, he is still a child who can't hide his words.

"No stay." Bai Ye replied.

Bai Wu was unwilling to give in and asked again: "Where does the second brother want to go?"

"Didn't you just make an agreement with your father? Why are you asking again?"

Bai Wu suddenly stopped talking.

The night became quieter and quieter. As they turned into the alley, only the sound of horse hooves could be heard in their ears. It was not until the wind lantern with the word "Ling" not far away swayed in the wind that they heard a few more laughter.

It is a human fireworks that belongs exclusively to Bai Ye.

——"This Jingjiang Rose Crystal Meatballs are moderately salty and sweet. The roses were specially brought back to me from the Southwest by Youran. My uncle is in for a treat."

——"Uncle, let's try this matsutake mushroom soup again. It's sweet and refreshing, especially warm to the stomach. Eat the matsutake mushrooms after finishing the soup."

——"Pair it with hot spring wine to ensure that uncle feels at home today. Come on, come on, my niece will have another drink with you! My niece will not get drunk after a thousand cups!"

Bai Wu glanced at Bai Ye silently, stepped back knowingly, raised his hands and disappeared into the night.

When Lu Xiling helped Lu Zisheng come out of the yard, he saw only one person and one horse, standing dryly in the cold wind.

I don't know if it was because of the wine, or because Lu Zisheng was a popular general, but he was staring at Bai Ye intently.

Lu Xiling said: "Didn't you say you came to get clothes? Why are you standing at the door and not going in? How long have you been standing there?"

"Get clothes?" Lu Zisheng looked sideways at Lu Xiling. "Yes, I need to wear it for the court tomorrow."

"How come His Highness's clothes are here with you?"

Lu Xiling's original intention was to find someone to lead Bai Ye back to the house. Unexpectedly, his uncle was a heavy drinker. Not only did he not believe it, he also tried to find clues from it.

The two of them were almost at the sixth ceremony, but my uncle really didn't have the eyesight to see.

"Last time when I came back for breakfast at Xiling's house, I scratched a corner in a hurry. It didn't look good when I went to court, so I left it to Aunt Li to help sew and mend it," Bai Ye said.

In the past, Lu Zisheng wanted to take He Zhen back, but it was not her own home after all. Therefore, Lu Zisheng always hoped that the child would get married as soon as possible and have his own nest.

But now that he saw a strange man coming and going freely in his children's yard, he felt unhappy.

Lu Zisheng kept a straight face and watched Lu Xiling forcefully lead him back to the house before sighing and turning around.

Unmarried men and unmarried men make too much noise to make people laugh.

But...that's all, maybe He Zhen slept with her husband.

Think about it, there is a wall between them. This child has always liked to lean against the wall since he was a child...

Lu Zisheng smiled helplessly, shook his head and went to his residence.

in the courtyard.

The girl who likes to lie on the wall breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard the sound of footsteps going away, and leaned on Bai Ye's arms with her left foot.

Bai Ye supported her and laughed: "Isn't it true that you won't get drunk after a thousand cups?"

Lu Xiling was unhappy and pointed at the tip of Bai Ye's nose: "Without my actress-level performance, how could uncle trust you to come in?"

Although she is a beautiful cabbage, Bai Ye is not a pig with no bottom line.

"Okay, now it's your turn to serve me."

"How to serve?" Bai Ye helped the person into the room and sat down, while he had already raised his hand to rub the other person's temples.

"The technique is very good, reward me."

Lu Xiling was so playful that he lifted Bai Ye's chin with his index finger and said deliberately in his throat: "Tell me, what do you want? I will satisfy you."

"you."

What he wanted from beginning to end was just her.

But after tonight, he didn't know if she would still want to be with him.

"It's that simple." Lu Zuigui waved his hand: "What are you doing with your face downcast? I'll just satisfy you!"

Realizing that he was really unhappy, Lu Xiling, half drunk and half awake, raised her eyelids to relieve his boredom with him.

Bai Ye promised not to lie to her again. When she asked, he would answer truthfully.

"Wu'er has grown up, and Mount Tai has been granted Zen status. He will be the prince, and from now on he will be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. And I will no longer be able to stay in the capital."

Lu Xiling nodded: "I know, you said you were going to Shuzhong."

"...Yes." Bai Ye wondered: "But what if I can't go to Shuzhong? What if I want to go to Dibei."

Bai Ye took her hand and put it on his face. A burst of hot air hit his palm, and Lu Xiling shivered unexpectedly.

He vowed to Lu Zisheng that he would take A Ling back to Sichuan, and he also invited the head of the Lian family to come over and act as a matchmaker.

It seemed that everything was going well in their life of seclusion in Sichuan, planting trees and looking at chrysanthemums, but in the end, things went wrong for him.

Xiling must also want to go home. These days, all she thinks about is her future life of opening a store in Sichuan.

Although traveling between the capital and Sichuan is hard, with him taking care of her, Xiling likes to be busy, so she will not feel tired.

When she gets old and can no longer walk, she will live in peace in Shu and be happy.

But now, he wanted to take him to live in that bitter cold place for his own selfish reasons...

He couldn't help frowning, and the tip of his forehead was like a distant mountain that couldn't be melted away.

"Dibei? Dibei is great. It has good mutton. It's a good time to open a mutton soup restaurant!" Lu Xiling said with a smile: "Maybe I can ask my second uncle to open a caravan to Dibei and send some rare things from the capital regularly. Things, and let the old haters in Dibei know what they are doing!"

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment.

"What if we go to the southwest?"

"Then you can eat lychees."

"Danzhou?"

"Eat oysters, fresh ones!"

Lu Xiling laughed and rubbed his hands together to cover Bai Ye's face: "I am a little rich woman. I open restaurants wherever I go. It just so happens. Won't I become famous all over the world?" (End of Chapter)
