Chapter 690: Desire

Monthly tickets have doubled in the past two days. Please give me the pink ticket for the concubine.

Thanks

The song ends and everyone disperses.

Xu Lingyi asked Eleven Niang who was sitting in front of the mirror taking off her makeup: Are you still angry?

Eleven Niang remained silent.

She tied up her hair gracefully: Mr. Hou, please rest first, I went to see brother Jin. After saying that, she walked straight out.

Xu Lingyi looked at his wife's back and touched his head.

Brother Jin is still asleep. A melon-shaped ram's horn palace lantern is lit in the room. He is wearing a white Songjiang three-shuttle coat and is packing things there with his maid.

It's nothing more than some gold, silver, orbs, jade, and jade. He told Hong Wen that you just put it away and put the seal according to what's written in the account book. But I got these things back. I'll have to put them out there when the time comes.

On the Baoge shelf.

But, these are a pair of boots. Ah Jin said in embarrassment, who put the boots on the shelf of Duobaoge? She looked around in a pair of clumsy black plain knee-length leather boots, muttering in a low voice, the workmanship is rough.

Made, not to mention inlaid with gold, even if there is no pattern embroidered on it, the boots worn by the boy who works as an errand in the courtyard outside our house are more exquisite than these.

What do you know? Brother Jin stepped forward and grabbed the boots and held them in his arms. They were worn by barbarians outside the Pass. Yanjing did not have them at all. He pointed at the boots. Look at the boots, they are not sheepskin or dog skin, they are worn out.

Cow hide. If you look at this máo again, it is sheep máo. It is thick and dense.

Ah Jin has been serving Brother Jin in his house since he was a child. Brother Jin is not the kind of domineering child. Without adults present, they are not so reserved when talking.

Is it better than Diao Máo? she said unconvinced.

Amber, who stood quietly at the door with Eleven Niang and stared at the inner room, took two steps forward to scold him. When Eleven Niang heard the movement, she already made a gesture to say something private.

Amber couldn't help but look towards Eleven Niang.

The dim light in the hall stopped at the hem of a pleated skirt embroidered with rattan hairpins on a dark green background. Her face melted into the dim darkness, but her eyes were shining brightly.

Amber's heart skipped a beat, feeling like thousands of words had turned into ice, making her afraid to make a mistake.

Brother Jin took out a black mink vest from the high cabinet.

Put your hands on the fur and see if it's my boots that are warmer or the mink's máo.

Ah Jin really put his hand in.

Brother Jin looked at her proudly: What?

Naturally, Diao Máo is warm and A Jindao.

Brother Jin’s face turned green: I won’t tell you anymore

Ah Jin giggled.

Hongwen, who had been bending down to help Brother Jin clean up the messy little things, raised his head.

Sixth Young Master, she also feels that it is a bit inappropriate. These boots are so big that you won't be able to use them for a while. There is dust on the Duobao shelf. It is better to put them away temporarily. During the holidays, relatives and friends will come to visit the house.

When the time comes, you can tell them about your trip to Jiayuguan.

I'm not trying to show off. Brother Jin disapproved but thought for a moment, and suddenly handed the boots to Hongwen, but what you said makes sense. Put it away for me. Then he told her seriously, you must put it away.

Oh, don't let the insects eat your máo.

Hong Wen smiled and found a piece of red silk to wrap it up: put it in a camphor wood cabinet. Do you like it?

I also need to make a note in the account book. Brother Jin thought for a while and said, when I grow up, I plan to wear it to go outside the customs.

Do you like Northwest very much? Eleven Niang's soft voice suddenly sounded in the house. Only then did Brother Jin, the master and the servant, find Eleven Niang and Hu Hu standing at the door.

Brother Niangjin jumped off the kang happily. It's so late, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?

Let me see you. The eleventh mother smiled and entered the house.

Hong Wen and Ah Jin hurriedly lit the lamps and came over.

The room became brighter.

Eleven Niang’s smile was full of joy and her expression was gentle.

Brother Jin pulled his mother to the Kang and sat down. He took the tea cup from the back of the maid and gave it to Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang just looked at Brother Jin and asked again: Do you like Northwest very much?

Well, Brother Jin nodded, smiled and sat next to his mother. There you can ride horses, shoot arrows, hunt, fly eagles, and sing. There are also blue skies, green grass, and white little sheep.

I didn’t see anything good about it. Eleven Niang touched her son’s head hard and said with a smile, you are still riding horses, shooting arrows and singing songs at home. Isn’t it true that the sky in our house is black and the grass is red?

That's different. Brother Jin smiled and said, "The northwest is an endless yellow soil slope. Riding a horse in it will make you feel that people are very small and the world is very wide. You can run as much as you want. Where is it like?"

In Yanjing, it's good to be able to run around the horse ring twice. Don't even think about horse racing on the street. Shooting arrows in the northwest, drawing the bow to full, and shooting the arrows, no matter whether they hit or not, is interesting.

When you are at home, you have to be careful about aiming at the target. If the arrow misses slightly, you will be worried, for fear of hitting the maid or breaking the porcelain bottles and utensils at home. He said, waving

He waved, looking very bored. The last time my father took me hunting, all the deer and badgers were raised. The guards drove them into the mountains, and they just lazily and stupidly got caught by us.

shè He said, his expression perked up as if he remembered something, he called out loudly for his mother, with a somewhat mysterious expression, and suddenly lowered his voice. Last time we went to Jiayuguan, the commander-in-chief of Jiayuguan specially took us there.

Hunting. It's not like us here. Instead, we ride horses to the grassland and find the water source first. Those scouts lie down by the water and look at the footprints, and then guess what kind of prey it is, how many there are, and when they drank the water there.

It was interesting for everyone to discuss how to hunt. His smile became deeper and brighter, Mom, the grass there is not like the grass in our back garden, which grows sparsely under the flower trees or on the roadside.

They were large and large, reaching up to my shoulders. When I sat on the horse and looked over, there was no edge. When the wind blew by, they looked like làng, in waves, and you could also see the white sheep grazing. But

Beautiful

The eleventh mother looked at her son's longing eyes, rubbed her son's little head, and said with a smile: "That's because you have been to too few places."

Brother Jin looked at his mother in surprise.

You haven't been to Jiangnan yet, right? Jiangnan is also very interesting. It is rich in products, like the clothes you are wearing, the water eight immortals we eat in summer, the mountain eight delicacies in winter, and the Hu pen you use for writing.

The purple clay teapot used for drinking tea, the Xiangfei bamboo used for door curtains, the boxes carved with red lacquer, and even the wigs worn by mothers all came from the south of the Yangtze River. There is also Jinhua Liquor Tengwang Pavilion Maoshan Academy

I know, I know. Brother Jin suddenly interrupted her, Jiangnan also has the Longquan Sword

Eleven Niang was stunned.

There is a Longquan sword hanging in Uncle Fan's study. Uncle Fan said that it was a reward from the emperor, and it can cut mud like mud. He also let me try it. He said, pulling on Shiyi Niang's sleeve, Mom, you

I'll tell my dad if I can buy a Longquan sword when I get older. I'm sure many people will be jealous if I go to the northwest.

She said so much, but he was thinking about how to get a Longquan sword and hang it to the northwest.

Then you don’t want to go to the south of the Yangtze River to take a boat ride, eat crabs, and visit Putuo Temple. Eleven Niang asked him softly, “You don’t want to go to Jinxi Academy where your second brother studies and your fourth sister-in-law grew up.”

You don’t need to eat crabs if you take a black-paneled boat. Brother Jin laughed and said, the small black-paneled boat looks like it will capsize after shaking a few times. How can a three-story official boat be as safe as it is? We also eat crabs every year.

There is nothing unusual about it. When we arrived at Putuo Temple, I really wanted to visit it. I heard people say that Putuo Mountain is overseas, and the temple on the mountain is made of gold. When the sun rises, the golden light shines. Looking from the shore, it looks like Penglai.

It’s like a fairyland, a place of gods. I don’t believe it. Isn’t it true that the whole world is the land of the king? Yanjing is an imperial city, and there are no temples made of gold in the imperial city. Isn’t Putuo Mountain better than the imperial city?

If you can do it, I will go to the academy. There is a bit of mischief in his eyes. Mom, tell me, if my second brother suddenly sees me, will he be very happy?

He wanted to go to Putuo Mountain to see if the rumors were true; he wanted to go to Jinxi Academy to see Xu Siyu's surprised expression.

Eleven Niang sighed softly and held her son tightly in her arms: It's getting late, you should go to bed early. It won't be too late tomorrow. We won't move until June.

Brother Jin nodded and said with a smile: Mom, I didn’t pack things just for moving. I just wanted to take these things out and play with them.

He really likes it, right?

Eleven Niang gently let go of her son: I understand, go and have a rest.

Brother Jin got on the bed with a smile and pulled her sleeves: Mom, tell me a story. You haven't told me a story for a long time and you are still acting coquettishly.

The eleventh mother felt something in her heart and said: If you are not at home, my mother will not be able to see you.

Brother Jin chuckled: I will go out to play for a few days and then come back. Then my mother can see me again.

Eleven Niang touched her son’s cheek: What story do you want to hear?

Brother Jin didn't even think about it when telling the story of Champion Hou, he said immediately.

The champion is Huo Qubing.

Hao Shiniang and her son were nestled together on the big pillow at the head of the bed, and said softly, "There once was a man named Huo Qubing."

Xu Lingyi waited in the room for a long time but did not wait for Eleven Niang.

Isn't it because you don't want to see him anymore?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, lifted the curtain and left the inner room.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse outside, and the scent of hairpin flowers floats in the air.

Eleven Niang rested her elbows on the beauty's chair, staring blankly at the red lantern hanging under the eaves of the west wing.

The red light shone on her smooth and smooth face, which was quiet and beautiful.

It's so late, why don't you go back to the house? Xu Lingyi took off his shirt and put it on her shoulders. The night wind was still a bit cold. Be careful of catching the cold.

Eleven Niang turned her head, her dark eyes as calm as water: Can you let Brother Jin follow my eldest brother to the south of the Yangtze River?
