Chapter 24 A Pot of Hot Soup
Although his abilities are quite insufficient, making Bai Jingyuan look like an embroidered pillow, the "embroidery" on his body is undoubtedly at the level of a master.
Under the careful education of his elders, he knows respect and equality, is used to praise, and is able to understand the difficulties of others, but he always moistens things silently and never boasts about being artificial. When he gets along with him, most people will feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze.
In fact, such a core of thought is the real source of his so-called noble character. However, he grew up like this since he was a child and had no idea about it. He only thought that he was very good at pretending to be able to scare these natives and make them mistake him for a noble.
The fish for supper was filled with too much sauce. I thought that yesterday, the apple combed the queen's hair, but she was punished by tearing two of her hair. She hid in the corner and cried. When he caught him, he begged him not to tell anyone. He was afraid that the fish-making kettle would suffer, so he didn't say a word, and just gritted his teeth and finished the salty fish.
So in the middle of the night, he naturally woke up with thirst.
He thought that when it was dawn, he must tactfully remind the chef that his new sauce was so salty! Don’t put too much when cooking for the queen!
In the middle of winter, he didn't want to bother others and planned to go downstairs to find water to drink, but he turned over and didn't pay attention. As soon as he moved, he heard the wooden bed "crunching". Then the deer immediately retreated into the bed like a bell covering his ears. Obviously, he was not asleep at all!
The lamp slave shrank into a ball and was dozing off. When he heard the sound, he thought his master was about to get up at night. He immediately forced his eyes widened, sat up straight, moved his numb legs, pushed away the smokeless crane holding fish silver lampshade, and picked up the wick.
The bean-sized lights immediately gained a lot, and the big tent was much brighter in an instant.
Bamboo mats were laid on the ground, straw mats were laid on the bamboo mats, and skins were laid on the straw mats. Arthur slept at the end of the couch, and his back was still moving. Lu'er slept in front of the couch, and his whole body was retracted into the quilt. Bai Jingyuan was always afraid that one day he would be confused and get up in the middle of the night to step on him.
As the fire broke out, Bai Jingyuan lay on the edge of the couch, looking at the quilt that seemed to be holding a field mouse, and moved carefully from time to time. He knew that Lu'er was peeking there while he was asleep. At this moment, he must be afraid that he would find out and wanted to pretend to be asleep and deceive him. After a long time, he guessed that he was so uncomfortable in the quilt that he couldn't help laughing.
How powerful is human adaptability!
How long has it been? When he found that the people here didn't care about his thoughts at all, he got used to having servants sleeping under the couch when he was sleeping, a lantern slave held the lights all night, and a subordinate guarded the gate. Even if the Lu'er stared at him in the middle of the night, he would not be surprised and shouted "Damn it" again!
In his opinion, Lu'er is such a cute and good kid. Whether it is for self-protection or simply not wanting to make him sad, Bai Jingyuan has always been very nice to him.
He could not let go of his original master, but was moved by his frequent friendship. So Bai Jingyuan watched Lu'er bewildered and had no idea what to say after he wanted to enlighten him. He could only take the opportunity to joke with him.
"Don't you feel bored if you are wrapped like this?"
The queen should be very rich, and her servants lived a good life. As a servant of the young master Bai, Lu'er also has a good silk quilt to cover.
I also wanted to ask, "What are you peeking at me when I don't sleep in the middle of the night?" I was afraid that he would be embarrassed and that he would involve the sensitive topics of the young master before, so I swallowed it.
The deer was exposed by him, and his face was blushed with anger. He first took a breath, then he lay on the edge of the couch and approached him and complained first:
"I don't sleep in the middle of the night! I want to run around! I will tell the princess tomorrow! You are disobedient!"
The queen brought from Zheng Gong and the descendants of these servants privately liked to call her princess. Bai Jingyuan was used to it. Knowing who Lu'er was talking about, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha! I'm not afraid!"
Ren Xiu is very scheming and ambitious. As long as she follows her wishes, she will make him feel comfortable.
For example, before, he worked hard to learn elegant language and discipline, and his grades satisfied her, so she agreed that he could eat food he liked and when changing clothes, he would also ask him to choose his favorite clothes.
She doesn't care about small things like this!
Bai Jingyuan thought Lu'er's expression was very interesting, so he was not in a hurry to drink water. He leaned down with his chin with his hands and found a step for him: "If you can't sleep, chat with me!"
"What are we... what's there to talk about?"
Sure enough, Lu'er instantly threw away the shame and annoyance just now, and was a little moved, but was a little cautious, afraid that Bai Jingyuan would talk to him.
Arthur, who was motionless, opened his eyes instantly when he heard this, but she still didn't even move her hair, and just listened with her ears.
She was afraid that Lu Er would not be able to deal with this fake young man who always acted unexpectedly. Besides, she wanted to hear what Bai Jingyuan was going to say.
"Hey, I'll ask you something! Why do you want to offer her a beautiful wife to the sacrificial wife instead of her husband?"
Perhaps it was because of the clever Su that impressed him so much that he had thought about this question for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
Could it be that the trash queen is actually a lily?
Are these ancient people so good at playing?
Lu'er, who was originally waiting for the battle, suddenly burst into laughter and rolled back and forth with the quilt in his arms! Even Arthur could hardly hold back!
"Hey! I'm really curious!"
The winter nights are long, and even if he is a child now, he starts to sleep as soon as it gets dark and can't sleep for more than ten hours. When he wakes up in the middle of the night, he eats snacks and drinks water, or talks with deer. It's all interesting.
Lu'er also likes this kind of irrelevant gossip, so he quickly gave the answer: "Of course, you have to use a woman to sacrifice to the sacrificial queen!"
"Why don't you need a man?"
In this era, the fertility rate is low, and manpower is the most valuable resource. It is so difficult for a girl to grow up to her teenage years. Even for the sake of population, she should not kill women with marriage at will!
"Anyway, the sacrifices of the worm empress are all beautiful women. Since ancient times, why are you so curious? I can't answer you this question! Even the national witch of Phoenix Platform will definitely not be able to answer such questions!"
Lu'er is only nine years old, so how could he think of these strange questions on weekdays?
The Chu people sacrificed so many gods, but he didn't know what the difference was between different sacrifices? It would be nice to know one!
Asking him why he didn't need a man to sacrifice to the sacrificial queen is like asking him why he had to use his mouth to eat. It was ridiculous!
"Oh~"
Before traveling, I always felt like a rotten wood, but after traveling, I found that he was already smart.
Because he has the habit of thinking, and people here generally do not use their brains.
Even the very clever Lu Er in everyone's eyes is just diligent and good at doing things, rather than thinking too much.
With a gentle sigh, Bai Jingyuan turned over and sat up.
Anyway, he has woken up the person, so he no longer cares.
Seeing that he got up, Arthur couldn't continue to pretend to be asleep. She was already sleeping in her clothes, lifted the quilt and sat up, and could work immediately.
Seeing Bai Jingyuan sitting in a daze, Arthur hesitated for a moment, he still spoke: "The major affairs of the country are about sacrifice and military affairs."
After saying that, he kept silent as if he was afraid of offending some god.
This is very straightforward. Bai Jingyuan heard it and knew it immediately.
It is not easy for a woman to grow up safely, and it is not easy for a man to grow up. Sacrifice represents the awe of heaven and earth, gods and ancestors. Although it is important, there are too many names. How can all be sacrificed to men? Of course, good men should be used to fight wars!
Nowadays, rituals and music are becoming more and more shattered, and all the princes are constantly chasing. Without the army in hand, who can sleep peacefully?
Not to mention anything else, just Ren Xiu. If he hadn't had this powerful cavalry under his command, he would have been clearly treated by Hou's family. As the head of Hou's family, how could Hou Zhu be angry with her again and again?
Seeing the minister lifting up the tent and looking in, he knew that he was asking if he needed a custard. Bai Jingyuan was about to let him retreat when he saw the chef holding a large pottery jar with red eyes, walking in from the lifted door curtain, kneeling on the mat at the door, and saying respectfully:
"Young Master, Nunu has made fruit soup, do you want to try it?"
In the middle of the night, boil fruit soup?
Chapter completed!
