086. Ice cream
086. Ice cheese
There is a Yu Pavilion, with red and green colors, and a lotus pond covered with lotus leaves swaying in the wind..c
The water curtain on the first floor is like a waterfall, bringing you coolness.
As the summer heats up, Chu Xujun doesn't want to leave the natural air conditioner with the water curtain on the first floor of Yu Pavilion. News from outside keeps coming in, which shows the momentum of the competition.
During the days when she was preparing for the competition, Chu Xujun's life was very regular. In addition to listening to Chu Xia "reciting scriptures" in the morning...she would carve words on her desk. The rest of the time she would make ice and review official script in the sand table.
Saltpeter was one of the medicines for alchemy at this time and was not easy to obtain. Chu Xujun asked someone to search for some for her outside.
Hua Liancheng was so shocked that he thought she was going to do something, until he drank a bowl of iced cheese served by his daughter. Without saying a word, he immediately doubled his manpower and went out to buy a large amount.
Before Hua Liancheng had time to think about his daughter's intention of making ice at this time, he was busy stopping the two children - Tong Tan, who was greedy for too much ice and turned around to get upset.
At this time, Hua Jin'er came to Chu's house. When she entered the door, she pulled Chu Xujun and whispered: "I heard that the fourth lady of the Wang family has secretly gathered a group of ladies in the past few days to plan on sniping you in the competition."
The word "sniper" is used very cleverly.
Chu Xujun was still struggling with his carving knife: "Oh? Since it was arranged secretly, how could Jin'er know?"
Hua Jin'er: "Because they actually attracted me..."
Chu Xujun smiled: "You are my cousin, what reason did they use?"
"That's right, I think it's outrageous or not. They said, cousin Xuen, you robbed my son Zhu Qi. They asked me if I was angry and if I wanted to join them."
Hua Jin'er was still anxious at first, but when she saw this, she suddenly laughed out loud.
Chu Xujun blew the bamboo chips, put down a bamboo slip, and picked up a new one: "By the way, the princess has indeed done a good job in protecting you and the second young master. Does she agree with you?"
Hua Jin'er sighed: "I was relieved at first, but now I seem to have other thoughts." She picked up the bamboo slips carved by her cousin, took a close look at it a few more times, raised her head and opened her mouth, dumbfounded for a moment.
"How's it going?" Chu Xujun asked calmly. Although carving is tiring, doing fine work can really calm people's minds. As a handicapped person, she finally mastered a "handicraft" and was quite proud of it.
Hua couldn't boast. Jin'er suggested: "It seems that cousin can't choose the word column. That's wrong. Cousin, why aren't you in a hurry? They are all planning to deal with you."
"As soon as this engagement comes out, it is inevitable that you will be targeted. There is no competition to worry about. Now that everyone has made it clear, so many pairs of eyes are watching, what is there to worry about?"
Hua Jin'er clapped her hands: "It makes sense. But cousin, don't you want to win?"
"If you win, you will be married. Isn't it bad if you lose?"
"ah?"
"Jin'er has someone he wants to choose, but I don't."
Hua Jin'er was curious: "Can't my cousin like them all?"
Chu Xujun put down the carving knife, rubbed the dented fingers, and said in a helpless tone: "This is not a matter of whether I can see it or not, but a matter of me not wanting to leave the Chu family's boudoir so early and go to someone else's house to make a living."
Hua Jin'er looked at the water curtain with Yu Pavilion, felt the coolness in the room, and nodded: "Indeed, my cousin can't compare to staying at home."
Suddenly Hua Jin'er thought of something: "Cousin, you don't want to recruit a son-in-law, do you? It is said that there are some students from poor families this time, with noble moral character, but their families are poor."
"Where are you thinking? That's not the case... Even though I don't want to win, I won't lose either. What I can control in my own hands is better to be held by myself."
Hua Jin'er looked at the bamboo slips in front of her, and then at her cousin who was calm, elegant and as beautiful as a fairy, and that strange awe emerged again.
"Jin'er, since the princess asked you to prepare, which two are you going to choose?"
Hua Jin'er said nonchalantly: "I'll make some of them. Whatever the princess thinks is good, I'll choose it. That way she won't be able to blame it on me whether I win or lose."
"My Jin'er, Cong
Ming." Chu Xujun smiled.
At night, others would ask her this question.
The man in Xuanyi broke into Youyu Pavilion again and stared at the running water curtain up and down on the first floor.
Chu Xujun glanced at the window gauze that he had saved this time, but he stopped it before the male partner tore it to pieces.
Chu Xujun said strangely: "There are lights on all three floors, how do you know I'm on the first floor?"
Wei Ling: "I don't know. I'll explore every floor."
Chu Xujun:......
Stinking rogue.
Wei Ling delayed coming until today because he was still a little angry at Chu Xujun for proposing a competition.
Originally, the baby kiss between the two was fake, but I didn't expect that now, it's not even fake.
But the "culprit" acted like it had nothing to do with him, which made him even more angry.
Chu Xujun: "There are more and more people participating in the competition, is the general confident?"
Wei Ling's eyes were still behind the water curtain, and he said calmly: "What is this? It's not even a fraction of what I was on the brave martial arts field before." He didn't make any big claims. This time he was just a marriageable man. He was on the school field before, what?
All age groups are available.
That year, he was only eleven years old.
Chu Xujun:......
Versailles.
Seeing that the girl made no sound, under the lamp, a pair of delicate and slender hands were stroking the sand table, and I didn't know what was written on it.
"Xu Jun, what are you going to choose?"
The baby is not yet married, so why does he still call her that?
Chu Xujun glanced at the white jade phoenix pendant around his waist and did not dare to question General Wei. He shook his head: "I don't know."
Wei Ling:......
"Are you not planning to win?"
Chu Xujun nodded: "Yeah."
Looking at the ugly face of the man in black clothes, he quickly added: "But I don't intend to lose either."
"I have Brother Zhu to share my hostility. In the women's group, you are probably the target of public criticism. How come you don't have a plan to deal with it?"
"Yes, my father has been writing poems for me recently and asking me to recite them one by one, but I feel that his writing is not as good as mine."
Wei Ling had good eyesight and looked at the bamboo slips next to her sand table, obviously not believing it.
"I admit that my calligraphy is not good," Chu Xujun thought about the veil she once drew for him as a clue, and added, "I am not good at drawing either, but I can recite poems, really." Amazing talent,
The kind that has never been seen before or since.
Wei Ling: "I can barely do literature, but what about art?"
Chu Xujun handed him a cup and said, "General, try it."
Wei Ling didn't move, only staring at her with Han Xing's black eyes.
"Wei Ling, give it a try." Chu Xujun changed his words.
Wei Ling took a sip: "...ice cheese." It's sour and cold, a summer treat.
Chu Xujun blinked her beautiful almond eyes, her long and thick eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, as if she was a milk cat waiting for praise.
The tips of Wei Ling's ears turned red, he took another sip and asked, "What's sour?"
Chu Xujun was still attentive: "They are mulberries. They are just picked and not too ripe. How about them? Are they delicious?"
