Dawei Fanghua

Perhaps because there is a stew for dinner, the cooking time is longer, so the meal will be later tonight.By the time the dishes were placed on the tables in the upper room, the sun had already set and the sky was getting dark.

But in the hazy dusk, with a celadon oil lamp lit and two people sitting across from each other for dinner, the atmosphere felt pretty good.The environment is also quite quiet. There is no interference from insects in this season. It is a touch of comfort, just like the autumn air, flowing quietly around.

It's just that this house and yard are a little rough and rough.There were not even trees in the yard, and there was really no scenery to see. Fortunately, there were people across from me.

Since Cao Shuang gave this courtyard to Qin Liang, Qin Liang has had countless meals here, and most of the time he ate alone.Only now did he realize that eating together with two people was completely different from eating alone.A person eats alone just to fill his stomach.

With Wang Lingjun here, even if he often didn't speak during the meal, or even made a few innocuous gossips from time to time, there was someone beside him, simple movements, and casual glances, and the feeling was different.

In fact, when two people are eating, it doesn’t matter what they eat, what matters is who they eat with.

There was a ceramic bottle containing sesame oil on the table. Qin Liang took a look and found that there was a lot of oil in the stew bowl in front, so he felt that there was no need for sesame oil.He then reached out to move the vegetable bowl behind him, grabbed the edge of the bowl and pulled it towards his chest, accidentally digging his thumb into the vegetable bowl first.

Wang Lingjun glanced at him, her eyes filled with the light of the celadon oil lamp, but she didn't speak, and of course she didn't understand what Qin Liang was thinking about being so negligent.Qin Liang was used to washing his hands before eating, so he put his thumb in his mouth very simply. Wang Lingjun would definitely not do such an unbecoming gesture at the dinner table, but Qin Liang sometimes did things more casually and relaxedly.

Vegetables at this time are often made into vegetable soup or vegetable balls.Qin Liang picked up a vegetable ball with chopsticks. The color looked like agarwood. He put the vegetable ball directly into the meat stew oil bowl in front and stirred it before putting it back into the vegetable bowl at the back. .

When he tasted the cabbage balls in the bowl at the back, he found that the cabbage balls were very firm, greasy and slippery after being dipped in the stew soup, and they tasted quite good.After dipping it in the oil from the previous bowl of stew, there was no need to add sesame oil at all. The women at home specially prepared flax oil bottles for dinner, which was simply a redundant decoration.

The two of them continued to eat. Wang Lingjun was sitting on his knees with a very dignified posture and good appearance at the table.Qin Liang was much more casual. Sometimes he would even sit cross-legged before a few cases.

At this time, Wang Lingjun asked softly: "Did Mrs. Dong always serve her husband in daily life in the past?"

Qin Liang said: "When I first came to Luoyang, the conditions were not very good. There were no other women around. She just did laundry, cooking and cleaning."

Wang Lingjun said softly "Hmm".

Qin Liang smiled and said: "There is nothing else at all. Looking at our yard, you can clearly see that there is something going on. Who can I hide it from?"

Wang Lingjun raised his eyes and glanced at him: "I just asked, and I didn't say what was wrong, so that I could have an idea of ​​what the people around me were like."

Qin Liang said: "There are only two women who have been close to me, and there is no one else."

He thought for a while, but still didn't plan to tell Lu's name.After all, the old relationship with her was not caused by Qin Liang now.

Wang Lingjun gently reminded in a low voice: "This is very good. Husband, you should be more cautious. There is no need to take advantage of irrelevant people. Besides, once they get involved, you will not be able to get rid of them easily even if you get tired of them, which will only increase your troubles."

Qin Liang couldn't help but laugh again: "Perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder, how could you be so exaggerated?"

At this time, Moye walked to the door of the upper room with soup, and the couple temporarily stopped talking about private matters.

Qin Liang had just thought about Lu's matter, and suddenly thought of the jewelry given by Lu's, which was placed in the sack of slips in the next room.

He suddenly wanted Wang Lingjun to give it a try, but then he thought about it. Lingjun was usually a dignified and conservative person, and he had to fasten the silk lining to the lining when he went out to ride a horse. It might not be easy for him to accept it for a while.So he thought it was better to forget it for now.Moreover, there should be very few women who like jewelry like that. Most of the time Lu’s jewelry is just for practicality, not for any other reason.

As for the farming matters mentioned by the messenger girl today, Qin Liang has also understood some of the principles of nature.Farmers plow the land before planting to loosen the soil. Otherwise, it would really be difficult to cultivate. This is just a law of physics.Qin Liang said that it was not necessary to plow that piece of land, but the girl's implication was that she wanted to plant elsewhere first and plow that piece of land at the last moment, so it was good for both of them.They are all purposeful, just to avoid some consequences.

At this time, Qin Liang felt that jewelry was indeed useless to Wang Lingjun.The consequences that Lu wanted to avoid turned out to be a good thing for Wang Lingjun.

While Qin Liang was eating, he looked at Wang Lingjun's kneeling posture and compared and imagined the jewelry. He could still eat without feeling anything at all.Sometimes how you feel about a certain image really depends on the person.Qin Liang has discovered that he really likes this wife. Even if he was just a stranger before getting married, he would never dislike her no matter where she is.Wang Lingjun's voice said again: "The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, do we want to go back to the Wang family to offer sacrifices?"

Qin Liang said with a natural expression: "I will sacrifice the ancestors of the Qin family at home first, and then return to the Wang family."

Wang Lingjun nodded lightly and said "Yes".

Qin Liang has never felt much about festivals. In fact, festivals in this era are more boring, filled with a lot of sacrificial activities, and there is much less sense of celebration.But recently, he seems to feel that it would be nice to celebrate the holidays.

...The Double Ninth Festival will soon be here. Wang Xuanji has been looking forward to the festival for some reason recently.

Only now did she really feel that waiting was really exhausting.That feeling of anticipation but never arriving is driving people crazy and making them crazy.

Sometimes she felt that this was wrong, so she kept hinting to herself that she wanted to return to her previous calm and somewhat boring state of mind.Fortunately, she has some skills. Not only can she enter a semi-sleep state for a short time, but she can also relax her mind for a long time, read a book, and walk in the courtyard.

But there will always be interference from others, and sometimes just as I adjust my mentality, someone insists on mentioning it.For example, in the past few days, Qin Zhongming has been heard from time to time in the palace.

The eldest brother Wang Gongyuan is one.No, Wang Gongyuan had just returned home from the court. He only came to the courtyard to play the piano and enjoy dancing, and then he talked about Zhongming with Mrs. Xue.He said honestly: "I didn't think highly of him before."

Listening to Wang Xuanji secretly thinking: Then you should always look down on me, why do you act so quickly?
Wang Gongyuan continued: "But now that I think about it, I accidentally found a good son-in-law. In a hurry, I found a good son-in-law. This is fate. We choose carefully, but we may not meet a good one."

Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "You have said it more than once."

Wang Gongyuan shook his head and said: "The woman has long hair, no knowledge, and no understanding. No one in the court is dissatisfied with what Zhong Ming does. This is the most difficult thing to do! I am really reassured by his ability and knowledge." Looking back, if I were placed in the school affairs office and served as an official in a place like that, I would probably have a headache and be unable to sleep."

He paused for a moment, and then sighed: "I really like what Zhong Ming does. Before he took office, he knew to say hello to me first, which means that if I don't agree, he will not do the school affairs. Look, How sensible! He also said that if I didn't like it, I could intervene and stop him at any time.

Please tell me, he is so young, how can he think so carefully?Alas, what this good son-in-law said and did... I felt a little guilty, and I always felt that I didn't deserve him. "

Mrs. Xue glanced at Wang Xuanji, Mrs. Bai and others, and advised in a low voice: "Don't talk about it for now. You get an advantage and act like a good boy, and you will easily be hated by others. He is not a perfect person, and isn't he from a bad background? In fact, I didn't have a good heart before. I agree, I am afraid that I will suffer hardships if I marry you, and I am very worried about her. But my husband insists on this, so it is inconvenient for me to object too much."

Wang Gongyuan said kindly: "Born is indeed very important, but if you are really talented, how can you be short-sighted and only see family background? There are noble families everywhere, where can you find heroes?"

Mrs. Xue still said: "Don't say this outside and make others laugh. How can you boast about yourself?"

Wang Gongyuan looked around calmly, then approached Mrs. Xue and whispered: "Also, Qin Zhongming's background is not very good, which is actually a good thing. There is no one in the Qin family who can rely on, but it can't be our Wang family? What if it were changed? As a person, once your husband married, you wouldn't see each other for several years. They were just in-laws. He wanted his children to call us uncle and aunt. But now we are just like his parents, isn't it better?"

Wang Xuanji actually didn't want to hear it, but Wang Gongyuan insisted on saying it.However, Wang Xuanji soon realized that she could actually walk away and not listen, but she couldn't help but want to stay here.There is a bit of cool breeze in the pavilion, and the late autumn wind is relatively cold.Wang Xuanji's hands were retracted in the sleeves of her robe, subconsciously stretching her fingers and counting something silently.

Mrs. Xue's voice said: "We'll talk about it later when we go back to the room. In fact, what I'm most satisfied with is seeing you getting along well with him. I asked you about it, and you are also very satisfied. As a mother, my children have passed. If you are doing well and not noisy, you will feel happy."

Wang Xuanji thought of something and suddenly thought to herself: I don't know how happy you are when you are with him every night, and you don't have to worry about anything. What is there to be dissatisfied about?

She suddenly realized that her thoughts were too embarrassing and shameless. Her cheeks suddenly felt a little hot and she hurriedly began to adjust her mood.Fortunately, she just thought in her heart that no one else could see her, otherwise she would have no shame in seeing others.

Wang Xuanji thought: I am not a prostitute. If he only thinks about that kind of thing and only treats me as a singer and dancer, no matter what, I will make up my mind to really ignore him.It’s not like he can’t survive!
