Chapter 14 Caisuo Cake
The crisp and tender willow leaves could not withstand the tossing of the whirlwind, so they broke off branches and rode the wind. They drew an almost perfect arc in the air and landed lightly at Lu Xiling's feet.
The men of the imperial army behind them were having tea and discussing the strategy for the next round of tug-of-war.
Lu Xiling sent out the bean sprouts, sat by the stove, and burned a bowl of agarwood water, drinking it while feeling lost in thought.
On the day when she and Bai Ye were anointed in marriage, pear blossoms were falling and snow fell, and all the officials congratulated them.
After all, Lu Xiling was a modern core with a higher education, and he couldn't bear to see political marriages.
But this is ancient times, and there are many things she can't do anything about. As for her immortal cousin, it can only be said that her family and power are nothing but empty shelves in front of the arbitrary emperor who can hide his wrongdoing.
At that time, the late emperor saw that Bai Ye only played with birds and cockfights every day, and he boasted that he had made a good move - he not only used protons to contain King Di Beiyue, but also made the opponent's heart be determined to sacrifice his life for him.
But he had never calculated that the second son of the Bai family was an actor.
The noisy voices of men were heard.
"The two highnesses will leave in person later, and the girls will be required to lift their handkerchiefs!"
"How about we make a bet and see who of the two royal highnesses gets more Huasheng in the end?"
"Then there's no need to gamble?! That must be our master!"
After hearing this, Lu Xiling shook her head regretfully: She had long known about the Bai family's son's handsomeness.
A young couple, they were just bean sprouts back then, and although the other was not yet tall, he already had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a tall figure, and the muscles exposed under the curtains always screamed late at night.
Xiao Xiling curled her lips in her heart.
She couldn't hold back having such delicious meat in her mouth for so many years. She really shouldn't be a cook, but a sister-in-law instead. She would definitely be able to cultivate a path that is free from worries and fear.
The man took a sip and said, "I don't think so! Our master's current reputation is not very good. Even if my daughter's family is greedy for his appearance, they don't dare to come forward to express it."
"I get angry when I mention this! Our master is a upright and good man, how could he hit a woman?"
People on the side also felt that it was made out of nothing, but they still faced the reality and said: "When the settlement of Gyeonggi is settled, the next step will be to select concubines for several His Highnesses. Qian'er also forgot who he heard it from, and now the Ministry of Rites has begun to go.
Each government has submitted albums of pictures of noble ladies. The Fourth Highness's family has the most, and our Highness's... the least..."
I sighed, and there was a silence behind me.
Lu Xiling listened guiltily for a while, only to hear He Ping angrily say: "Those women are just like rain, and they can't even get into His Highness's eyes! It would be better if they don't want to marry, and they are not worthy of carrying our His Highness's shoes."
"But..." He Ping thought of something and whispered: "Among the pictures of ladies sent to the palace this time, there is one who is the legitimate daughter of the servant She's family. It is said that she has a beautiful face, pure jade and ice, is also thoughtful in etiquette, and is a good person.
She is quiet and virtuous, a perfect match for our Highness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of harps, harps, and harps sounded again from the south, and everyone looked under the Yuelao tree.
He Ping's subordinates were surprised and said: "That's her! The noble daughter of the She family, the gentle girl!"
Lu Xiling stretched and looked over.
On the water in front of the flowers, a lovely woman in an amber skirt is charming, slender and timidly holding the rope of the swing. She is full of tenderness and youthfulness as she swings.
It was obvious that her face was flushed because of nervousness, and she was at a loss. But at this moment, because of her flawless face with pink makeup, she looked very charming, and she was eager to refuse but still welcomed her.
As expected of the finale, the audience below was stunned.
Lu Xiling's stretching movements seemed to be at rest.
Isn't this the young lady who was undecided in front of her stall just now?
The little lady is really beautiful, her body is soft and delicate, and she matches her ex-husband's appearance and figure very well.
Considering the hesitant look on her face just now, she must be visiting Yongwang Mansion with her father.
Unfortunately……
This girl is good at everything, but she has a soft temper. Bai Ye is sophistical and ugly. I'm afraid she will suffer a loss if she gets married in the future.
"Girl! Have another bowl!"
He Ping turned around, and Lu Xiling took the tea bowl and went to make a drink in the pot with a smile.
As early as when He Ping bought the fruit for the first time, he knew that this girl was good-looking, with delicate features and beautiful eyes. She was not like Xiaojiabiyu, a girl from a wealthy family. She always had a unique and indescribable aura about her.
But without comparison, I wouldn’t think that this girl was born with natural beauty.
Now that the noble daughter of Tai Pu She's family is right in front of her, looking at Lu Xiling again, she smiles casually and brightly, like the new green mountains in spring, which is unforgettable.
The key point is the fresh and lively smoke of fireworks, which makes people... can't help but want to get closer!
"Congratulations, Deputy Guard?" Lu Xiling reminded.
He Ping came to his senses and saw that the person in front of him had been holding the tea bowl for a long time, so he hurriedly reached out to take it.
The hands are also as white and slender as green onions.
He Ping smiled shyly: "Thank you, girl."
Lu Xiling was slightly startled, then smiled.
If you have lived two lifetimes and still can't figure out what this look means, then your life has been in vain.
He Ping drank the last bowl, maybe out of his budding love, or because he really thought the drink made by Lu Xiling was good. Before leaving, he ordered his brothers to move away the drink, including the poison and the water.
"I'll send it back to the girl another day."
He Ping refers to the kettle and Gu bowl.
Lu Xiling didn't care at all. The clay body of the kettle was already slightly cracked. It couldn't be used for many times, and the Gu bowl was even more so. It wasn't worth much.
Secondly, the reward given by He Ping is enough to buy a brand new set.
Lu Xiling pretended not to know anything. Anyway, at this juncture, anything she said was useless. If a man wanted to create a conspiracy to find a girl, he could make up any excuse.
Lu Xiling smiled helplessly, unable to just watch the group leave.
As soon as noon passed, the second round of the tug-of-war began. Now that the fruit was almost sold out, Lu Xiling thought of letting Dou Ya relax and go out to have some fun.
But Dou Ya had no idea, no matter how Lu Xiling tried to persuade him, it was of no use.
After asking, I found out that the child was hungry.
Three hours have passed since breakfast. Bean sprouts have been jumping around for so long. It would be strange not to be hungry.
Without saying anything else, Lu Xiling started a fire to boil some water, and opened the bamboo basket covered with oilcloth on her right hand side. It was the hand-cut noodles she had made early in the morning.
Under the sprinkles of flour, the colorful noodles are so beautiful.
Lu Xiling, who had made a small amount of money, was in a good mood. He hummed a ditty while boiling water and cooking noodles. Occasionally, he and Dou Ya chatted casually, mostly with Dou Ya talking, and she listened.
Until the last sound of gongs and drums came today, the tug-of-war officially ended.
The pedestrian street was bustling with people, and Douya stood by the stove and listened to their chat.
Some people were still immersed in the fierceness of the competition. The outcome was exactly the same as Lu Xiling's, and it was the Forbidden Army who won the first prize.
Some people watched the program all day long and were immediately attracted by the brightly colored noodles with an empty stomach.
"How to sell colorful suo biscuits?"
This is what they eat at home, not for sale, and all the fruits are sold out today. They will go home after finishing the meal.
Just as Douya was about to answer, Lu Xiling interrupted: "Ten cents a bowl!"
