Chapter 14 Roast Meat
Zhao Lu came back much later than usual, but he was in high spirits, and ran over before he had time to change his clothes.

"Sister, sister!"

Xiaodong was watching Shen Qiang and Shen Fang doing needlework, Shen Fang was alright, but Shen Qiang was impatient, a row of stitches was as rough as the marks of insects crawling - the insects still had many legs.Xiaodong is confident that if he gives himself a needle, he will be able to sew more neatly than her.

"elder brother?"

Xiaodong got up and ran towards Zhao Lu, and was embraced by Zhao Lu with open arms.

Xiaodong was spun around happily, only to see Shen Jing behind him, and called out, "Brother Jing."

Shouting like this, others didn't feel it, so Xiaodong trembled first.

Brother Jing?Brother Jing?
This is not the world of martial arts, where did Guo Jing and Huang Rong come from?

"You and father entered the palace today?"

Xiaodong nodded.

"Have you seen the emperor?"

Shen Qiang took advantage of the confusion and stuffed the balls of embroidery thread in her hand under the table, and heard Xiaodong say: "See you."

Shen Fang put down her work, stood up with Shen Qiang, and gave Zhao Lu and Shen Jing a blessing.

"We're all from our own family. It's tiring to be so polite every day." Zhao Lu put down Xiaodong to return the gift, and said, "You don't have to be too polite, cousin." Shen Qiang asked, "Why did you come back later than usual today?"

Zhao Lu's eyebrows danced brightly: "Today, I was competing with them in poetry, and my cousin won the first prize!"

Shen Fang became interested, and asked with a smile: "Oh? Who did you compete with? How did you win the championship?"

Zhao Lulian said that Daibi still smiled and gave a general idea of ​​the matter.

It turned out that Shen Jing was known as the number one talented person in the east of the river. After entering the palace school and studying for so many days, he had the potential to take the limelight as the number one talent in the capital. How could it be so easy for a young boy who can enter the palace school to be so easy? Convinced, naturally, from time to time, he tried to find some reason to step him down, but the result was counterproductive, and it made Shen Jing more famous. Today's poetry competition let him win the top spot again.

Zhao Lu spoke happily, and Shen Fang said: "I don't know what the winning poem is? Read it out for us to listen to, and enjoy the talent of Wenquxing."

Shen Jingjun blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "My family still makes fun of me."

Zhao Lu pushed him: "Why are you making fun of me? This is an honor." He yelled at others: "Bring paper and pen."

Shen Qiang hurriedly pushed aside the embroidery basket on the table to make room.With the pen and ink ready and the paper spread out, Zhao Lu smiled and said, "I remember clearly, I will write."

Although he loves to laugh and play around all day long, his handwriting is quite structured, obviously he has practiced hard.Xiaodong read the first sentence—but she didn't understand the first three words.

Shen Qiang looked at it with her chin resting, then turned her head and asked: "Is there any prize for winning the first prize?"

Zhao Lu concentrated on writing, and did not answer in silence, but Zhao Lu's bookboy Xiao Tang answered: "The winner, the poetry competition is held in the East Garden. At the beginning, several princesses came with their attendants. , watched the excitement for a long time, and the fifth princess even took out a hand-embroidered brocade belt as a prize."

Shen Fang was startled: "Princess embroidered it herself?"

"Exactly." Zhao Lu replied, "This made those provocative guys lose their temper."

Shen Qiang asked excitedly: "Hey, does the princess have a crush on brother?"

Shen Jing shook her head: "Sister Qiang, don't talk nonsense."

"What nonsense?" Shen Qiang's face was red and her eyes were bright: "A talented man deserves a beautiful woman. I heard that the fifth princess was born very beautiful, and she was the best in the capital. My brother is also the most talented man, isn't this..."

Shen Fang also turned her head: "Don't talk nonsense. It's about the princess' reputation, you think it's just a joke."

When Shen Fang opened her mouth, Shen Qiang was honest, but she was still not reconciled, and muttered: "I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so, other people will definitely say the same."

Xiaodong looked at this and then at that.

Uh, this, when it comes to talking about things, it's a good story.

That is, are the hero and heroine of the story a little younger?
The age of the fifth princess and Shen Jing, in modern times, would be junior high school students!
Puppy love!

Xiaodong felt a little resentful, he was clearly in the palace today, but he couldn't see the commotion.

Zhao Lu had already written the words, blew them dry, and hung them up.

Shen Fang praised: "The more you write, the better."

Zhao Lu has this self-knowledge: "No way, no way, read poetry, don't read words."

Everyone in the house was happy, Zhao Lu shouted: "Add food, add food, let's drink tonight."

Hu said from the side: "Of course you need to add vegetables, but not wine."

Zhao Lu said: "It's okay, just drink a little. Well, I'll go and tell my father, he must agree."

King An is not a rigid person, Zhao Lu went to say it, and he really agreed, and he also gave Shen Jing an inkstone and a box of six yuan gold scale ink to congratulate him for being the first poet.Zhao Lu held the box and praised: "This inkstone is not bad, but the ink has a history of more than 100 years, and the method of making it has long been lost. It is said that there are not many in the palace. I use one piece and lose one piece. Usually, my father is reluctant to use it himself. "

Shen Jing was a little uneasy: "The prince's gift is too generous."

"Tsk, the sword is a gift for a hero. This one is just right for you. This Mo is a lucky winner. I wish you the title of Li Yuelongmen on the gold list in the future." Zhao Lu is not stingy. .

In the evening, there was a banquet in the pavilion in Zhao Lu's backyard. King An didn't come, saying that he was afraid of being restrained by them. Only Shen Jing, the two sisters of Zhao Lu's Shen family and Xiao Dong, set up five tables in a circle, and in the circle was a charcoal stove. , There is an iron grate on the stove, and the thin slices of meat are brushed with various seasonings, spices and oils, sizzling on the fire, and the aroma is rich and tangy.

Xiaodong was wrapped up like a cotton ball, and because of the barbecue, the windows on all sides of the pavilion were open to diffuse smoke. Hu was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she wanted to tie her up with a quilt from head to toe to be at ease.

Pour the wine into the cup, it is as clear as a spring.Xiaodong smelled a faint fragrance of wine, and there was a cool fragrance of flowers in the fragrance of the wine.

"Is it chrysanthemum wine?"

"Well, it was brewed three years ago, Fenglubai. This is the first time to open the altar today." Like a little alcoholic, Zhao Lu picked it up and took a deep smell of the wine: "Tomorrow, we will rest in school, so drink more tonight Not afraid at all."

Shen Fang has wine, even Shen Qiang has it, but Xiao Dong has hot sherbet in front of her.

When the barbecue was ready, it was removed from the fire, Xiaodong signaled that she wanted to eat it, but Hongling was afraid that she would burn it, so she used a small silver knife to make a small cut on the piece of meat, and blew it again and again before putting it into her mouth.

A hot and spicy scent filled his mouth, Xiaodong didn't pay attention, and burst into tears all at once.

"Oh, there's spicy powder on it." Zhao Lu hurriedly said, "Hurry up, drink water."

Xiaodong drank several sips of sherbet, but he didn't cover the spicy taste in his mouth. He just felt like burning, the tip of his tongue hurt, his eyes and nose were red, he looked like a little rabbit.Zhao Lu was distressed and funny, and said to Hong Ling with a straight face, "You are too careless."

Xiaodong knew that Hong Ling was not to blame, she didn't have this smell in her usual meals, and the barbecued meat slices were bright red, and she couldn't tell whether the spicy seasoning was sprinkled on it or not.

Shen Qiang shaved her face and humiliated her: "Little greedy cat, isn't it too spicy? You'd better eat the fruit, and the barbecue will be mine."

Shen Jing smiled and said: "Baked some non-spicy food and rubbed some honey, she should be able to eat it. But this food is not easy to digest, Xiaodong's sister is still young, so she can just try it."

Xiaodong covered his mouth and looked at these bad guys tearfully.

It's amazing to be old!
bully!
