Bath orchid soup is also one of the Dragon Boat Festival customs: women use fragrant flowers and herbs to bathe in the soup, which is similar to burning mugwort, wearing yellow charms, wrapping five silks and drinking cattail wine. It has the meaning of expelling insects and avoiding evil spirits. Li Chengzhi had a sudden thought: When will the soap be made out?
This thing is very simple. Just burn the ashes of vanilla and soak them in water, add some alkali, mix it with the burnt lard and solidify it, and that’s it.
Regardless of whether it can make money, it is convenient for you to use.
If you are interested, you can also make some perfume.
It’s not difficult, it’s exactly the same as the method of distilling alcohol...
With thoughts swirling in his mind, he came to the Monk Village at the foot of Kongtong Mountain, which was also the school ground where the white-armored soldiers were trained at the foot of the mountain at the beginning of the army.
Zhaoxuan Temple is still sealed, so naturally it is still an unclaimed land and has always been the training ground of the Baijia Battalion.
Sure enough, there were still soldiers stationed, and Li Chengzhi took Da Xi into the camp. Da Xi shouted that he wanted to go to the bath, so Li Chengzhi asked the soldiers to take care of it.
The injury was not healed yet, so Li Chengzhi didn't dare to soak in water. He just scrubbed it, put on a medium coat and half leaned on the couch, waiting for Li Rui to help him get some clothes from Lijiabao.
Li Chengzhi remembered when he thought of Lijiabao, but he didn't ask Yang Shu if his father was also hunting.
And where is the mother?
Li Chengzhi felt his scalp numb when he thought of Guo Yuzhi.
If the mother asked about Gao Wenjun, how would she explain it?
With some random thoughts in his mind, Li Chengzhi fell asleep without realizing it...
"Bang bang bang..." There was a gentle knock on the door.
Li Chengzhi opened his eyes and saw that it was almost dark.
The room has been lit with big candles, and the lights are bright. Looking out the window, a faint silver glow shines on the window lattice. The moon is like a moth, hanging slanting in the western sky.
There were new clothes on hand, neatly folded. There was still a faint scent of sandalwood lingering in my nose. When I turned around, I saw an incense burner on the table, burning with curls of green smoke.
Where did it come from?
There is no such thing in the school grounds. Even if all the bones in Li Rui's body were torn apart, there would be no trace of Yaxing.
Who did it?
Mother?
Li Chengzhi sat up and asked in shock: "Who?"
"General!" someone outside the door responded. As he spoke, someone also walked in.
She is tall and graceful. She has an apricot face and peach cheeks, and a beautiful face. What a beautiful lady!
The green silk is like silk, tied high behind the ears, and there is a small jade charm hanging on the temples, gently moving with the lotus steps, swaying gently.
She is wearing a light green Liuxian Ru skirt, just like the pleated dresses of later generations. It has a thin waist and a tight waist, which is too full to hold. The cuffs are wide, the jade arms are lightly exposed, and it is also wrapped with five-color silk threads.
People are naturally extremely beautiful, and adding a few ornaments such as jade charms and five silk threads that are only available during the Dragon Boat Festival makes them even more beautiful.
He must have just bathed in orchid soup, his skin is as creamy, as warm and soft as jade, and a faint scent of vanilla rushes straight into Li Chengzhi's nose.
When is a woman most beautiful?
The poet has been writing for eighteen hundred years: under the lamp, under the moon, in front of flowers, after bathing.
Li Chengzhi seemed to have taken advantage of all these things, and Li Chengzhi was stunned. After a long time, he came back to his senses: "Jing... Jingmo?"
Zhang Jing Mo Yingying bowed down: "Madam asked me to tie the general's hair!"
Madam...tie your hair?
Men's hair cannot be tied up by just anyone.
If her mother and Zhang Jingzhi had not let go, even if Zhang Jingmo ignored etiquette, he would never allow her to do such a thing.
Moreover, she is a very dignified woman, how can she belittle herself casually?
Li Chengzhi stood up immediately: "Mother agreed?"
Zhang Jing's face was filled with shame, and a layer of pink suddenly appeared on his face. He lowered his jade head slightly and nodded imperceptibly.
Li Chengzhi was ecstatic: How is it possible?
Before he left for Hexi, Li Chengzhi had tried it out, saying that after he came back, he wanted to invite his parents to go to the foot of Kongtong Mountain and take a tour outside the city.
Li Shixian was a little more careless. He just thought that Li Chengzhi wanted to show them the place where the troops were raised that day, and he agreed wholeheartedly. But Guo Yuzhi was so delicate that he didn't know that his son wanted them to meet Zhang Jingmo.
She didn't say yes or no, but after hearing those few sneers, Li Chengzhi knew that there was still work to be done.
Who would have thought that just one month later, things suddenly took a turn for the better?
My father and uncle must have put a lot of effort behind the scenes, and I can't say for sure. It was my father who mentioned Gao Wenjun's incident when he came back, and my mother became anxious.
But no matter where you look at it, this is a great thing.
At least I got one done first...
Li Chengzhi was so happy that he couldn't help but grabbed Zhang Jingmo's hand and said excitedly: "It's hard for you!"
"I'm not in trouble, but it's your husband..." After half a reply, Zhang Jingmo couldn't continue. He looked at Li Chengzhi's chest, tears falling down.
The clothes were half-open, and the arrow wounds on the chest and abdomen were densely packed. The deep ones were half an inch long, and the shallow ones were only one or two cents. All of them seemed to have had a piece of flesh dug out, which was extremely hideous.
Zhang Jingmo's heart was cut by a knife, and he burst into tears in an instant.
Li Chengzhi suddenly panicked, as if his adultery had been revealed.
Although this injury was not caused by Gao Wenjun, it is a fact that he and Gao Wenjun were privately engaged for life.
For a moment, Li Chengzhi felt like a scumbag.
I'm still a little uncomfortable with it, I always think it's the future...
Li Chengzhi sighed softly, shook Zhang Jingmo's hand and then let go, and said with some hesitation: "The banquet should be about to start. Please help me tie my hair first. I just have something to explain to you." p>
Explanation?
Zhang Jingmo's starry eyes froze slightly, nodded slightly, and walked around behind Li Chengzhi.
Li Chengzhi took a deep breath and slowly talked about how he met Gao Wenjun, how he met Murong Ding, how he escaped, and how he escaped until Gao Wenjun committed suicide.
He even told the story of how he and Gao Wenjun made a private decision to stay together forever.
"In this world...there is such a strange woman with a strong temperament and a strong will to die?"
Hearing her praise and feeling a chill on his neck, Li Chengzhi suddenly turned around and found that Zhang Jingmo's face looked just like the one he had washed out.
Women are indeed made of water...
Just after sighing, Li Chengzhi realized something was wrong: No matter how much he expressed appreciation, he wouldn't cry like this, right? It would be like rain?
Are you Zhang Jingmo, not Wei Yu, whose tears are easier than breathing?
Zhang Jingmo's delicate body trembled slightly, and the tremors were getting faster and faster. It seemed that he could no longer stand still. He lowered his body and leaned tightly on Li Chengzhi's shoulders.
Her body was unusually hot, and Li Chengzhi felt like there was a fireball stuck on her back. If she hadn't felt the coolness on her forehead, he would have thought she was sick.
"Even...even if we get married, I am just a concubine...Husband...there is no need to explain..."
Li Chengzhi felt warm in his heart.
I thought I was moved by Gao Wenjun’s deeds, but after doing it for a long time, I was actually moved like this by myself?
So what if I’m a concubine? I’m also a wife?
Li Chengzhi touched her forehead and chuckled: "I want to live with you for the rest of my life, how can I not explain it?"
Just this sentence made Zhang Jingmo break his guard. All the strength in his body seemed to be drained, his legs went weak, and he fell softly into Li Chengzhi's arms with a "Ming" sound.
When spring comes, the flowers in the world are colorful, and my arms are full of warm and fragrant nephrite...
Li Chengzhi's heart trembled, and his whole body felt as if he was numb.
Just when I was extremely emotional and was having a hard time enduring it, a light cough suddenly came from outside the door: "Madam, Sir, Xi Zhonglang and Erlang are probably impatient..."
Li Chengzhi was immediately startled and broke into a sweat.
In a moment of confusion and infatuation, you didn’t realize that Zhang Jingmo’s mother-in-law was still guarding the door?
Fortunately nothing happened...
Um... Erlang?
This Erlang is not the other Erlang. Zhang Jingzhi is also in the village?
Li Chengzhi was horrified, but Zhang Jingmo was faster than him. He stood up quickly, but his face was red from his neck to his ears, as if he was about to bleed.
He took a deep breath and said in a gentle voice: "Tomorrow I will go to my mother and Sima to ask my mother and Sima to agree on the marriage before rushing to Luoyang!"
There are six rites in a wedding ceremony. Forget about getting married in a short time. If Li Chengzhi can discuss the first four rites before departure and finalize the marriage, he will be satisfied.
Zhang Jingmo responded as lowly as a mosquito.
……
In fact, it didn’t take long, as Zhang Jingmo’s hands and feet were not very agile. It took less than two seconds to tie up his hair and help him change his clothes.
Zhang Jingzhi and Da Xi were sitting in the hall drinking. When they saw Li Chengzhi and Zhang Jingmo coming in together, their eyes lit up at the same time: What a perfect couple!
Da Xi couldn't help but sigh: It's just that I'm good-looking, and the women I choose are all more beautiful than the others. How do you let others live?
When he got closer, he saw that Zhang Jingmo's eyes were swollen, and Da Xi was confused: "Okay, why are you crying like this?"
Afraid of Zhang Jingzhi's misunderstanding, Li Chengzhi quickly explained: "While tying up my hair, Yu Jingmo told a few things about the past on the way."
Past?
Zhang Jingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
What happened on the way was clearly explained by Li Chengzhi in the letter written by Li Shixian. Which past event could make Zhang Jingmo smile with tears, be shy with joy, and have such deep affection in his eyes?
Normal water?
Li Chengzhi clearly promised something to Jingmo, and maybe he made some other promises...
Zhang Jingzhi's heart moved: "What did you tell Jingmo?"
"Ah?"
Li Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, never thinking that Zhang Jingzhi really cared about this.
But there is nothing that cannot be said. Zhang Jingzhi already knows it, and Da Xi knows it even more.
He softly uttered three words: "Gao Wenjun!"
Zhang Jingzhi sighed deeply, feeling both touched and worried.
It was only right that Li Chengzhi write a letter to him to explain the interests and harms. After all, the only link between him and him was Beijing and Mo. Suddenly, Gao Wenjun appeared again, and she was the daughter of Gao Zhao. If he had been more sensitive, maybe he would have more
Think.
But what is your explanation to Jingmo?
To put it bluntly, she is just a concubine...
It can be seen that Li Chengzhi really likes Jingmo, and no wonder Jingmo is moved like this.
While feeling emotional, Zhang Jingzhi was a little worried: Li Chengzhi was also a little too sentimental.
It was Zhang Jingmo before, but now there is another Gao Wenjun, and it is definitely not just these two. In the future, there will be more and more women, and it is difficult to guarantee that Li Chengzhi will not slowly lose his spirit and fall into the gentle land and be unable to extricate himself...
But this was really not the time to talk about this. Zhang Jingzhi hesitated and finally let out a long sigh.
Da Xi's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.
Looking at this look, Li Chengzhi has clearly told Zhang Jingzhi about his lifelong commitment to Gao Wenjun.
Do you know that Zhang Jingzhi and Gao Zhao have a grudge?
The strange thing is that Zhang Jingzhi is not angry at all?
Li Chengzhi is the son-in-law...
……
The night stars are bright and the breeze blows by, and the brocade curtain flicks the red door lock.
The waning moon is still crooked, and the zithers and flutes are playing music together!
They were still far away when Li Chengzhi heard the faint sound of string music.
There are sergeants standing outside the village, and the defense is extremely strict. No horses or carriages are allowed to enter the village. Even the people who enter the village will be identified one by one.
The progress was a bit slow, there were four entrances, but the cavalry and vehicles were all lined up hundreds of feet away.
Xu Shi recognized Da Xi, and the soldiers actually opened another road for their group. Several horses and carriages drove unimpeded to Song's Wubao.
Suddenly some people were reluctant: "Who is this, and why do you prefer one to another?"
The voice sounded familiar. Li Chengzhi opened the curtains and looked outside. Who else could it be if it wasn't Wei Jin?
The young man in charge reminded her: "This is General Xi, the Congzi who is guarding Xi..."
Unexpectedly, Wei Jin didn't accept this trick at all: "My brother is still strong, so what about Da Xi?"
As she was questioning, she exclaimed again: "Yang Kan, come and see... look at that bearded man, is he the savage who almost shot you through the heart today?"
Da Xi's nose was almost crooked with anger: You are the savage, your whole family is savage...
No wonder Li Chengzhi doesn't want to see Wei Yu so much. The two sisters have unusually bad mouths?
Yang Kan took a closer look, isn't it?
Isn't he Li Chengzhi's bodyguard? How could he suddenly transform into Xi Kangsheng's subordinate and a fifth-rank general?
Who is sitting in the carriage?
Just as he was doubting himself, he heard the general guarding the road sneer: "What does this have to do with Da Xi? You have to be able to defeat thousands of armies with one cavalry and take the enemy's commander's head out of ten thousand armies. Don't talk about favoring others over others.
Grandpa can kneel down and carry you over... If you don't have this ability, then you can taste the pain of carrying a hundred arrows and a broken gun piercing your abdomen. If you can still be as unyielding as Li Shuai, I will call you Grandpa...
”
Hearing what he said was so funny, Li Chengzhi almost laughed out loud.
Da Xi explained to him: "This man is my clan brother. He is good at everything, but he has a bad mouth. Otherwise, why would he be the leader of the personal guard?"
You guessed it, that big beard looks exactly like Da Xi’s...
Seeing Li Chengzhi get out of the car, the general bowed respectfully: "Commander Li!"
He has not handed over the military order and still holds half of the tiger charm in his arms. Li Chengzhi is naturally still Li Shuai.
He wasn't coquettish either, he just nodded lightly.
But several boys and girls who had never seen Li Chengzhi’s true face were shocked.
During the day, I only think that he is noble and upright, and he understands justice, but I don't know that even his appearance is so outstanding?
Wei Jin opened his little mouth, as if he were looking at a god.
No wonder my sister doesn’t know how to eat and can’t sleep at night?
Then she blushed again: It turned out that it was not Da Xi's fault, but that Li Chengzhi was still injured, so the general opened another way for them...
While thinking about it, Wei Jin narrowed her eyes when she saw Zhang Jingmo getting out of the car with Li Chengzhi on his arm: What a beautiful woman... No, the two of them are so close?
