Chapter 418 Since he started to take her to heart, it has become different
Xie Yixiao, Rong Ci and others did not stay in the courtyard for long. After packing up their things, they set off to see the peach blossoms in the back mountain.
On the way, the two of them walked in front, while the rest of the group followed ten paces behind.
Rong Ci felt a little relieved when he saw that Xie Yixiao's expression was the same as before. He almost cried when he came out of Changning Marquis' Mansion last time. He was a little worried that she had been wronged by Mrs. Lu.
"Did things go well?"
"Smooth." At this time, he passed by a bamboo bush. Xie Yixiao reached out and picked two bamboo leaves, twisting them on his fingers. "Mrs. Lu has a soft spot and can pinch it, so she doesn't dare to rob it.
Now I don’t even dare to come to see the mirror.”
Speaking of which, Mrs. Lu has lived to be as old as she is, and she is not a brainless person. If she doesn't have some evil intentions in her heart, and feels that she really can't live up to Ming Jing, and has been taken advantage of, it would really be difficult to deal with her.
Rong Ci nodded: "As long as you can handle it."
After all, Ming Jing was not suitable to return to Duke Lu's mansion. Although being a noble daughter of Duke Lu's mansion did have a high status, she would not end up well if she had to deal with such a father and stepmother.
No matter how good the wealth and splendor is, it must be lived to enjoy it.
Xie Yi smiled and sighed, then shook her head and decided not to think about these things anymore. She tugged on the sleeves of the person next to her and urged him to walk faster, "Let's go quickly, I don't know where the Taolin is."
Is there anyone else?"
"good."
A group of people walked along the path, and when they finally passed a moon gate, their eyes suddenly opened up, and when they looked up, they saw trees and peach blossoms.
This is the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the first ones to bloom are about to fall off. When the wind blows, petals flutter and fall, and the ground seems to be covered with a layer of brocade.
And these are the days when the most flowers bloom, with peach blossoms blooming and covering the branches, while those that have not yet bloomed are budding on the branches, like a shy little girl.
Looking up, there are peach groves nearby and green mountains in the distance. There are trees and flowers growing in the nearby mountains and forests, and the mountain flowers are blooming. Many of the mountains in the distance are covered in clouds and smoke, misty and misty.
Continuous fairy mountains.
Xie Yixiao likes this place very much. He feels that the mountains are greener, the water is greener, and the sky is clearer. Taking a breath, he feels that all the turbid air in his body has been exhaled.
The group of people climbed up the hillside. When Xie Yixiao came, he asked Lu Zhui to get a small bamboo mat. Now he spread the bamboo mat on the platform outside the pavilion and sat on the ground.
Xie Yixiao took the suitcase from Mingxin's hand and waved them down: "You can go play by yourselves and don't worry about us."
After driving the people away, the two of them sat on the bamboo mat.
Rong Ci raised his eyes to look at the green mountains in the distance and the peach grove nearby, and closed his eyes. The scene here last year seemed to be before his eyes.
At first, he only hoped that she could live a better life, that she would be safe and sound, but in just one year, they had already made an appointment to get married, and maybe they would get married soon.
It seems that fate is really fickle. Perhaps it has changed since he started to take her to heart and have expectations.
At first, he only hoped that she would be safe and healthy. Later, he hoped that she would have a good marriage, a good husband, and a life of worry-free life. Finally, he felt that he would not trust her to marry anyone, so he wanted to keep her.
Be by my side, get married to her, and stay together forever.
However, he had no regrets in his heart and no reluctance.
He turned around and saw her opening the suitcase.
The suitcase is divided into two layers. On the upper layer is a divided wooden box with some food, including melon seeds, preserved fruits, dried fruits, pastries, and cakes. On the lower layer is a teapot and several teacups. In addition,
I also put some fruits in.
There are even freshly picked wild fruits from the mountains.
Xie Yixiao put the things out, then took out two cups and poured tea, and gave him a cup. He reached out to take it, but heard her say: "When you were in the temple before, did you come here to drink tea?"
Rong Ci shook his head: "No."
He has been to this place before, and also sat here and looked at the scenery, but he did not have the pleasure of bringing tea, food and flowers to enjoy the scenery. Perhaps for him, drinking tea at home and drinking tea here before did not
What a difference.
Xie Yixiao sat side by side with him, eating with a cup of tea in between. They looked at the green mountains in the distance and the peach blossoms nearby, and then she slowly took a sip of tea.
This tea was just brewed when I went out. It is still hot now, so it tastes a bit hot, so I need to drink it slowly.
Xie Yi smiled and said: "That's a pity. When I came here for the first time last time, I thought it was really nice here. If it wasn't for my poor health, I would have danced to a song and drank a few glasses of peach blossom wine, so I took advantage of this.
scene."
"It's a pity that this is a quiet place in Buddhism. It's pretty good for us to come here to enjoy the scenery. Of course, drinking is not allowed."
Rong Ci turned to look at her: "Miss Xie, can you dance?"
"No." Xie Yi smiled and shook his head, "Maybe if you take advantage of the situation and move randomly, you can, but it won't look good."
Very few girls in the imperial city have learned how to dance. Even if the girls compete on weekdays, they only compete in playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, flower arranging, throwing pots, Cuju, and pills. They don't know how to compete in dance.
Nowadays, daughters are being raised in an elegant way. They are educated, courteous, gentle, virtuous, and well-mannered. They feel that it is indecent and unseemly for girls to writhe around on the stage, so the girls do not imitate it.
dance.
Xie Yixiao had learned some classical dance, but he wasn't very good at it, so he simply said he couldn't do it.
As she said that, she reached for a piece of peach blossom cake, broke it open, and handed half of it to him: "Would you like to eat it?"
This peach blossom cake was made when Mingjing woke up this morning. As soon as it got light, she went to pick some peach blossoms and came back and made peach blossom cake and peach blossom cake.
Peach Blossom Cake is a rice cake made by mashing peach blossoms and twisting out the peach blossom juice, mixing it with rice flour and dyeing it, then adding some sugar and steaming it.
This peach blossom cake has two different sides. One side is a pink rice cake dyed with peach blossom juice, and the other side is a snow-white rice cake, just like the white snow. It is then cut into diamond shapes. When Mingjing packed the box, he also put two peach blossoms and a few peach blossoms.
When you remove the petals, they look very beautiful.
Peach Blossom Cake is a bit like a rose flower cake. The petals are pickled with sugar, mashed into fillings, and finally baked. The outside is crispy and yellow. When you pinch it open, the aroma of petals and sugar water spreads out on the inside, which is fragrant and sweet.
Xie Yixiao ate two peach blossom cakes and two peach blossom cakes in the morning. He thought they were delicious, so he couldn't help but want to share them with him.
"Eat." Rong Ci reached out to take it and took a bite. He was already used to her feeding him and would eat everything she gave him.
But as time went by, she probably realized that he didn't like to eat anything too sweet. This pastry was slightly sweet but not greasy, and it was just right with tea.
