After visiting the lantern festival all night, everyone carried two or three lanterns in their hands.
From time to time there are vendors selling food, such as chicken feet and duck heads soaked in hot brine, small bowls of hot yuanxiao, candied haws on straw sticks, or soft sweet-scented osmanthus. cake.
In terms of taste, it is actually mediocre and cannot be compared with the skills of the chefs in the palace. However, eating such snacks has a sense of fun.
Jiang Shaohua was holding food in his left and right hands, and Cui Du volunteered to carry the lantern for the princess.
As for Chen Sheren’s lanterns, naturally there was Masheren to hold them on his behalf.
Yin Zhu also guessed lantern riddles twice tonight and won a white rabbit lantern. Meng Sanbao stepped forward to show his courtesy: "Sister Yinzhu, I'm holding the lamp for you. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
Yinzhu was not polite and pointed. : "I want to eat braised meat."
Meng Sanbao immediately went up and bought a pack and stuffed it into Yin Zhu's hand.
Qin Hu saw it and was so sore that his teeth almost fell out.
Actually, the two brothers, Sun Guangbai and Sun Zelan, returned to the palace a few years ago. I just returned to the military camp after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. He met Miss Sun twice, but Miss Sun had a cold attitude and ignored him at all.
Qin Hu's heart, which was as hot as coal, was poured with cold water again and again.
Even his own father, Qin Zhan, couldn't help but advise him privately: "Miss Sun has lofty ambitions and wants to be a famous doctor in Daliang. I see that she really doesn't care about you. You'd better stop worrying as soon as possible. I asked your mother to find another marriage for you. There are many good girls of the right age in the family of the guards..."
He said back in one sentence: "How about others? It has nothing to do with me. I just like Miss Sun."
Qin Zhan was so angry that he slapped him: "Of course I know that Miss Sun has a good background, good looks, and better character. What else can I do if she doesn’t like you?”
“No matter what, I like her.”
Qin Zhan snorted: "Miss Sun stayed in the military camp all day, treating the illnesses and injuries of a bunch of soldiers. She looked at the men's bodies one after another, and had to touch them here and there during the treatment. You have to touch your conscience, you can really bear it. Can you live there?”
Of course he was very sore. Thinking about Miss Sun's indifference to him, this was also the reason.
If you want to marry your sweetheart, you must change your small-mindedness. The premise is that Miss Sun must give him this opportunity!
Qin Hu couldn't help but be fascinated when he thought of his sweetheart.
With this dazzling moment, Sun An, a soldier, came over excitedly and reported: "To inform the princess, Commander Song is back."
Jiang Shaohua's eyes suddenly lit up, and he ordered without thinking: "Go back to the palace immediately."
...
Half an hour later.
Jiang Shaohua quickly entered the main hall of the palace.
The tall and dusty man couldn't hide his excitement, he raised his hands and saluted: "I will finally meet the princess."
Jiang Shaohua directly stretched out his hand to help Song Yuan up: "We haven't seen each other for a few months. Uncle has been working hard. Stop saluting and sit down and talk."
While turning his head, he said: "It's already midnight, Chen Changshi and Feng Chang Shi Dingran has already rested. Don’t disturb them..."
As he finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded at the door: "Commander Song is finally back."
"We have been waiting for a long time." Chen Zhuo and Feng Wenming did stop after hearing that Song Yuan returned home. , where he could still sleep, he immediately got up and came over.
Jiang Shaohua was filled with joy and said with a smile: "Since we are all here, let's sit down and talk together."
Chen Jinyu, Ma Yaozong and Cui Du also shamelessly sat down.
Jiang Shaohua looked at Song Yuan carefully and sighed: "I have worked hard these days, uncle."
Song Yuan has been running on the road for several months, and his face has become darker and thinner. After a while, he was in good spirits. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "General, I think this trip has been an eye-opener and I have learned a lot."
"Tell me and listen." Jiang Shaohua took up the conversation with interest. .
Song Yuan smiled and said: "The general led more than a hundred elite soldiers on the road, and the thieves had to go around us. The road was quite smooth. After arriving at Nanhai County, the general went straight to the dock."
"The life of the general Seeing the sea for the first time was truly amazing It’s vast. The ships going out to sea are all very big. There are many ships coming and going at the dock, and there are many people who specialize in maritime business and are waiting in the market outside the dock.”
“The general will separate people. Twenty teams were formed, with six people in each team. I just stared at the ships that came to the beach every day and bought all the grains that the ships brought, regardless of type."
"It took me more than a month to wait until Cui arrived. Du said corn and sweet potatoes ”
<. br> "The corn and sweet potatoes on that ship were all bought by the general. The merchant was also very cunning. Seeing my eagerness to buy grain seeds, he deliberately raised the price five times. The general did not say anything at the time. The numbers are given.”
"The last general bought grain, loaded it on the carriage, and had people escort him on the road back to Nanyang County. The last general stayed behind with twenty people and kept a close eye on the merchant's whereabouts. The merchant was quite shrewd and kept all the money. After five or six days, the merchant relaxed his vigilance and went to a brothel to drink wine. When he returned, he encountered a group of "robbers". Several of the guards were beaten to the ground."
"The ticket number on the other side of the pier recognized both the banknote and the person. We just grabbed the banknote to no avail, and forced him to go with a knife. The ticket number. He didn't dare not go, and when he got to the ticket number, he thought of something, and I stabbed him in the left arm. He didn't dare to say anything at that time."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
“You took away all the merchant’s money?” Jiang Shaohua asked with a smile.
Song Yuan smiled and said, "That's not true. The general took four times the extra silver he took and left the rest untouched. The merchant knew that he had encountered a tough problem and didn't even dare to let go. . When the general left with the money, he also gave him a jade sign and said that he would contact him when he went to Nanhai County Wharf to buy goods. He promised not to charge any more money. "
Everyone laughed again.
Song Yuan took out the jade tablet and presented it to Jiang Shaohua.
Jiang Shaohua took a quick look and saw that the jade plaque had complicated patterns. It was unknown which family's secret sign it was. There was also a square word "Dai" on it.
Chen Zhuo thought for a while and said: "There are several sea merchants in Daliang, and one of them is named Dai. This sea merchant should be a descendant of the Dai family."
"Since we have married this It may come in handy in the future.”
When Jiang Shaohua heard the word "good fate", he smiled and said, "Chen Changshi's words are right. My uncle should keep this jade plaque!"
Song Yuan responded with a smile and handed over the jade plaque. Put it away. Then he said seriously: "We have bought all the corn, sweet potato and grain seeds. Next, it will be up to you, Cui Du."
Everyone looked at Cui Du together.
Cui Du looked calm: "Uncle, don't worry, please don't worry, Princess, as long as there are grain seeds, I can grow food."
"Where the grain seeds are, I will Go check it out now."(End of Chapter)
