Chapter 281 Leisure

The letters sent by Yangzhou Prefecture to Kaiping Prefecture are naturally fast, but the wonderful articles that have been copied and transmitted to Taiping Prefecture and Chizhou Prefecture by countless people are also like wings. In fact, they are not slow to spread among the people and spread all the way to the top of Wudi.

Lord Song, the new prime minister of Taiping Mansion, owed half of his body, sat with a little stool on his buttocks, holding his breath and carefully looking at the Empress Dowager Wu who was reading the sacrificial article. The growing anger on the Empress Dowager Wu's face made his heart higher and higher.

When the Empress Dowager Wu saw it, her angry lips kept shaking: "Shameless! Shameless! Despicable! Traitor! Despicable and shameless!" While scolding, he shook his hands and tore the sacrificial text hard. His fingers were white, and even his long nails were broken. The emperor sat next to him and looked at his mother in horror. Prime Minister Song Cheng hurriedly got up and knelt down and persuaded, "The Empress Dowager is angry! The Empress Dowager doesn't have to be angry about such despicable and shameless people. It's important to take care of her health. Empress Dowager Wu gasped, closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. She opened her eyes, reached out and gently patted her frightened son, and comforted her in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. We are not afraid of him."

Prime Minister Song looked at the timid emperor and sighed secretly. He turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager Wu and advised, "Empress dowager, now Huainan Road has been lost, if it is recovered..." Empress Dowager Wu sighed: "Come on, we will die!" Prime Minister Song was relieved and then sighed carefully. The Empress Dowager Wu looked down at the fragments of sacrifices torn by herself on the ground. For a long time, she raised her head and looked calm. Looking at Prime Minister Song's order, he ordered, "Retiring ten miles, Chizhou Prefecture is also a smart person. Huainan Road will die if you fight again." Prime Minister Song hurriedly agreed, "Empress Dowager Sheng Ming."

Empress Dowager Wu's face was gray, and she was silent for a long time. She waved and said, "Let's leave."

The Taiping army retreated ten miles. The eldest prince looked up at the sacrificial documents that had been framed and hung on the wall with his back. He was silent for a long time and ordered without looking back: "Retired ten miles."

The letter from Taiping Prefecture and Chizhou retreated ten miles away from each other and sent a letter to Yangzhou very fast. Su Zicheng was relieved. Compared with Taiping Prefecture and Chizhou, Beiping, which has been extremely tired, needs to rest and recuperate after years.

Su Zicheng burned a piece of paper and went out next door to find Li Xiaoyao. Now in the front yard of the courtyard, he occupied three main halls to deal with government affairs. Not far from the south wall in the west, there was a secluded place with thick flowers and flowing water. It was bright and dark. The three exquisite houses that were originally used for Qingxiu were occupied by Li Xiaoyao. As an office space, these two places are separated by a moon gate.

Li Xiaoyao came out, and the two simply sat on the wide eaves porch. Green Orange put on tea and took the maids to avoid it far away. Su Zicheng smiled easily and said, "Taiping Mansion and Chizhou have each retreated ten miles to stand in armistice. Well, everyone can rest."

"These two are smart people." Li Xiaoyao drank tea and smiled. Su Zicheng pulled down the corners of his mouth and said, "It's just time!"

"It's best to know the current affairs. If any family really wants to fight to the death, this melee will hurt all three defeats." Li Xiaoyao said with a smile, and Su Zicheng nodded with approval: "We have been fighting for two or three years, and we are all very tired. This battle on Huainan Road can be regarded as the end of a strong crossbow, but we are lucky!" Su Zicheng was very proud. Li Xiaoyao was shocked and stared at Su Zicheng and asked, "Really? Didn't you say that there is no silver in the Ministry of Household?

"Yes, they are all elite soldiers and strong generals, but they are exhausted, bows and arrows are insufficient, horses are insufficient, veterans are injured and disabled, and new recruits have not caught up yet." Su Zicheng smiled carelessly. Li Xiaoyao looked at him in a daze for a long time, took a deep breath and smiled, "You're gambling, just like me opening a salt field!" Su Zicheng opened his eyes and stared at Li Xiaoyao for a moment, leaned back on the rocking chair and laughed.

Li Xiaoyi sips tea and looked at the golden ginkgo leaves blowing down by a gust of wind in the yard. After a while, he turned his head and looked at Su Zicheng and smiled and said, "You have to urge Yu Yuanshan. It's better to arrive before we leave. It's best to tell him some things face to face. Since those two places are smart people who know current affairs, say no. If this can be done, Li Xiaoyao bent her eyes and smiled like a flower. Under the soft light and shadow of the eaves, Li Xiaoyao's smile seemed to shine, directly stained with the warmth and joy of the courtyard. Su Zicheng looked at the apricot yellow gauze dress and smiled like a lotus flower that opened slightly in the morning. Li Xiaoyao didn't know where he was for a while.

Wu's war was temporarily suspended. Su Zicheng dispatched the Beiping army troops to rest and recuperate in various places. Li Xiaoyao was busy for more than ten days. He was busy and was rushing to eat fresh fruits and go on the market after autumn. Together with Lv Feng and Liu Xiuyun, he often got up in the middle of the night to visit the vegetable market, the oil and grain market, the melon and fruit market, the fish market and other cities to find With the old knowledge of his previous life and all kinds of delicious food that he didn't know at all, he went out early and came back late. For a while, he was busier than Su Zicheng.

In the evening, Li Xiaoyao asked people to put red mud stove and other things in the water pavilion in the middle of the lake. Together with Lv Feng and Liu Xiuyun, she lay leisurely on the water platform facing the lotus flower of the lake in front of the water pavilion, drinking tea and eating melon seeds.

Su Zicheng finally finished his work. Liu Xiuyun quickly stood up to see the ceremony. Li Xiaoyao put down the melon seeds in his hand, half straightened up, and hurriedly ordered to move another rocking chair. Lv Feng reluctantly stood up, reluctantly moved aside a little, and squeezed out the space of the rocking chair.

The four sat down again. Li Xiaoyao handed the melon seeds to Su Zicheng. Lv Feng bit the melon seeds and spit out the shell and looked at Su Zicheng with interest. Su Zicheng spread his hands and came out a melon seed. He turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyao, who spit out the melon seed shell quickly. He raised it up and looked at Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao finished eating the melon seeds in his hand. Clapping his hands, took a piece of melon seeds from the palm of Su Zicheng's hand and smiled, "You are good at it. You can eat like this." Li Xiaoyao said, pinched the melon seeds with two fingers, took the melon seeds and threw them into his mouth, signaling Su Zicheng to try. Su Zicheng held the melon seeds in his hand, thought about it, poured the melon seeds on his clothes, and took a melon seeds out. The two fingers were slightly hard, and the melon seeds were instantly broken into powder.

Li Xiaoyao bent down with a smile, but pointed to Liu Xiuyun. Liu Xiuyun smiled and said with a simple smile, "I have heavy hands, but my little uncle didn't use the right strength." Su Zicheng's face was slightly red and picked another one. His two fingers slowly tried to pinch the melon seeds away, took them out the melon seeds, and took them lightly. He held them to show them to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao smiled and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and knocked them quickly while signaling him to eat.

Lv Feng looked down at Su Zicheng and didn't say anything to stab him. Recently, this little uncle looks like a little uncle. Even the money in the account room is withdrawn by him. It's not easy for him to be too difficult for him.

Su Zicheng tried a few times and found the right force. The melon seed was pinched very neatly and uniformly. The melon seed shell split in half and fell to the ground. One by one was like a flower. Li Xiaoyao stared at it for a moment and suddenly threw the melon seed and shouted, "Green Orange! Go and bring that bag of fried pine nuts! Go!"

The little girl flew over with pine nuts. Li Xiaoyao came to Su Zicheng with a pine bun and laughed, "You're so good at it. Help me pinch these. Don't pinch them all. It's better to open half!" Lv Feng stared at Su Zicheng, and Liu Xiuyun stared at Li Xiaoyao speechlessly. Li Xiaoyao sent this bag of pine nuts to Lv Feng first. Lv Feng couldn't bear to pinch this one by one. After pinching 30 or 50, he found an excuse to escape. It was difficult for her not to answer, but she really didn't have the patience to pinch this. She simply crushed more than a dozen in one breath and let Li Xiaoyao only Easy to give up.

Su Zicheng looked at a package of four or five catties of pine nuts, picked up one, pinched and motioned to Li Xiaoyao: "Is that it?"

"Yes, yes! In this way, it's all like this. Your kung fu is so good. No wonder Xiuyun always praises you for your strength and accuracy!" Li Xiaoyao was overjoyed and praised enthusiastically. Su Zicheng pinched two or three more, waved to Qingcheng and ordered, "Take this and this bag of pine nuts, send them to Dongping, ask him to find a few carefully, pinch all the packages of pine nuts like this, and send them in before dinner." Qingcheng took over the pinched pine nuts and pine seed bags, looked at Li Xiaoyao, and retreated to look for Dongping. Li Xiaoyao blinked seven or eight times, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, speechless. After all, he was the superior.

Lv Feng mistook his teeth and looked at Su Zicheng angrily. Liu Xiuyun narrowed his small eyes and grabbed the melon seeds and hit them up again. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at the begonia and ordered, "Burn some boiling water and eat some lotus root powder."

Not much, Begonia rushed the lotus root powder and sent it up one by one. Li Xiaoyao tasted the crushed peach kernels sprinkled on the lotus root powder and tasted it. She looked at the begonia and smiled and said, "It's better than last time. It's still not good."

"Well, the peach kernel is still a little tough, and Xiaowu, I don't think it's good to put the raisins in, or mix two ingredients••••••" Begonia simply took all the researched things. Lv Feng came over and set aside various colors with Li Xiaoyao and Haitang to discuss which one is best with this lotus root powder. .

Liu Xiuyun doesn't understand the food of those two, and he can't figure out how to eat it? Just drink a bowl and let the little girl make another bowl for herself. She went over and sprinkled a thick layer of seasoning for herself and ate sweetly.

Su Zicheng stretched out his head but couldn't interrupt. He never paid attention to these things. Even he couldn't remember whether he had eaten this lotus root powder for the first time.

The three people enthusiastically discussed several plans. Haitang wrote down one by one and prepared to go back to try. Li Xiaoyao breathed with satisfaction and turned his head to see Su Zicheng with an uncomfortable face. He turned his mind slightly and waved Liu Yun over and ordered, "Brace Xiaomei over and show it to the prince."
