Chapter 856 Reward
Midsummer in June is the hottest time, even at night it is extremely hot.
The third-class girls in Tingyuxuan brought two buckets of cold well water from the deep well in the backyard every time they burned incense, and sprinkled it in the yard, taking advantage of the cold well water. Evaporation reduces the temperature.
There were seven or eight basins of ice placed in the house, especially in the study room. When it was almost finished, a girl brought a new ice basin to replace it.
Zhu Pingan and Li Shu were playing chess in the study to cool off. There were several plates of fruit on hand. The fruits close to Zhu Pingan's hand were washed with cold water from a deep well and then cut into pieces. The reason why they were not used Ice, because iced fruit is not good for the stomach.
The fruit plates at Li Shu's hand were all at room temperature, and they also contained warm fruits such as oranges and peaches.
At first, the two men played chess normally, but as the game progressed, chess began to take on a fantasy color.
"Uh, why did you fly the elephant and the pawn at the same time?"
Zhu Ping'an watched helplessly as Li Shu held the elephant in one hand and the pawn in the other, taking a step each at the same time, and was speechless. ’s smile.
This scene is not unfamiliar. When I first won the lottery, I played chess with Li Shu. Li Shu also recited the past life curse to resurrect the chess piece eaten by Zhu Ping'an.
"Because mine are elephant cavalry, specially recruited from Annan."
Li Shu held her cheeks in her slender hands, looked at Zhu Pingan, blinked her eyes innocently, and sold it. So cute.
"Uh, okay."
Zhu Pingan glanced at Li Shu, and he was defeated and surrendered with just one glance. From Zhu Pingan's perspective, he not only saw Li Shu blinking and acting cute , and also saw a pair of cute little ones that were about to appear and loomed under Li Shu's goose-yellow tube top.
Why do I feel bigger again
"Hey, it's your turn"
Li Shu urged in a sweet voice, but did not notice Zhu Pingan's eyes, otherwise Zhu Pingan would get a blank look again.
Zhu Ping'an was dazzled by Li Shu's leaked spring news. Hearing Li Shu's urging, he made a move with a guilty conscience, and moved his cannon right on the muzzle of Li Shu's cannon.
"Gee, I want to shoot." Li Shu smiled like a flower, stretched out her slender hand, pinched the cannon, and shot Zhu Ping'an's cannon.
Do I want to have sex?
Li Shu would definitely not know the meaning of this sentence in modern times, but Zhu Pingan knew it clearly. After listening to Li Shu's words, Zhu Pingan suddenly thought of some scenes that were not suitable for children, plus Li Shujiao When he laughs, the flower branches tremble, and the spring light leaks out. Zhu Pingan is warm in his heart when he hears it in his ears, and in his heart when he sees it in his eyes
This little fairy!
For a moment, Zhu Pingan's heart was beating hard, his whole body felt like it was on fire, and his throat was a little dry.
I recited the Great Compassion Mantra silently several times before extinguishing the fire in my heart.
“Hey, it’s your turn again.”
Li Shu playfully stretched out her little foot and gently kicked Zhu Pingan's thigh under the table.
With one kick, the fire in Zhu Ping'an's heart that had only been extinguished after reciting the Great Compassion Mantra several times was reignited.
Auntie, don’t you realize that you kicked the ball in the wrong place? !
"Ahem. Okay."
Zhu Ping'an arched his waist slightly, coughed twice with a red face, and made a casual move.
One goes down and the other goes up.
Li Shu's own home field advantage, coupled with the advantages of elephant cavalry and master pawns, gave Zhu Ping'an to the general in a few rounds.
"Idiot, if you had been like this earlier"
Li Shu thought that Zhu Ping'an deliberately let her win this time, and couldn't help but think of the scene in the chess game last time. The second time was when Zhu Ping'an won the imperial examination and later borrowed books from home and played chess with him. He won two games in a row, causing great harm to himself. Even using Dumbo and the master pawn, this idiot didn't let himself win. If this idiot had learned to let himself go earlier, maybe he would have done it earlier.
Thinking of this, Li Shu couldn't help but have watery eyes. Her big, cloudy eyes gave Zhu Ping'an a white look, and her small cherry mouth curved into an upward arc.
Uh
Is this so early?
Zhu Ping'an was startled, thinking that Li Shu had caught him peeking, but looking at Li Shu's reaction, he realized that was not the case.
After thinking for a moment, he realized that Li Shu mistakenly thought that he had given up to her.
Not bad.
Zhu Pingan breathed out.
“Come again.”
After winning a game, Li Shu excitedly opened the chessboard again, as if she wanted to win back all the chess games she had lost to Zhu Pingan.
While the two were playing the second game of chess, Baozi's little maid Hua'er jolted in from outside.
"My aunt, Miss, the porter just sent a message in, saying that someone from the palace has come and brought two large baskets of fruit to my aunt."
The little maid Baozi said with excitement.
"Is there someone coming from the palace to deliver fruits at this time?"
In the palace? Zhu Ping'an was startled when he heard this. Was it a reward from Emperor Jiajing? Why are you appreciating fruits so late at night? There should be a curfew outside right now, right? !
"Isn't it strange? The fruits from the south are all brought to the capital at high speed. How fast can we get as much as we can? Not to mention it is now, it is possible even in the early morning. We must take advantage of the freshness Even if it is sent to the palace, the curfew will not stop it. At this time of year, the Holy Father receives the donation. Yesterday morning, the emperor rewarded the meritorious generals with fresh fruits, and a basket of Jiangnan peaches was given to the house. "
Li Shu heard that the palace gave them. Zhu Pingan sent two baskets of fruits, and couldn't help but smile.
Yesterday morning, the house received the peaches as a gift from the palace. The old lady and the eldest aunt were as happy as anything. They kept saying thank you for the grace of God and remembering these heroes.
There are also the third lady and the sixth lady. The young lady and the others are also very glorious. In Li Shu's case, Everyone in front of me was filled with a sense of superiority, and I kept saying that the peaches from Jiangnan are the best, especially the imperial peaches, which are the most delicious. Only senior members of the third rank or above have this kind of benefit. Others couldn't eat it if they wanted to. They only ate it once last year and couldn't forget it.
Showing off my sense of superiority all morning
What’s there to show off!
When Li Shu came back from greeting her yesterday, she casually threw the peach she was given to the accompanying girl to eat.
Soon, several strong women carried two large baskets of fruits into Tingyuxuan, one basket of Jiangnan peaches and one basket of Annan longans.
The basket is very big and very practical. One basket can hold about five or six baskets of fruit.
I also understand clearly.
The fresh fruits from the south of the Yangtze River were delivered to the palace before the curfew today. Emperor Jiajing was very happy after tasting them and ordered his lieutenant to give some of the fruits to the two princes’ teachers. Each prince’s teacher would give one to each Basket of fresh fruits.
Zhu Ping'an gave a lecture to the two princes today. He can be regarded as the teacher of the two princes, so he happened to be a part of it.
And because each prince's teacher was given a basket, Zhu Ping'an took advantage of it. As the teacher of King Yu, he got one basket, and as the teacher of King Jing, he got another basket. All of a sudden, he got two baskets.
"I just talked about Annan, and the longan from Annan has arrived. At this time, the longan from Jiangnan still has more than a month to ripen." After Li Shu looked at the fruit, her pretty face was even more smiley, He waved and ordered several girls to pick up a basket each of peaches and longan, and send them to the old lady and eldest aunt respectively.
"Oh, by the way, since it is a fruit given by the emperor, the second sister, the third sister, the fourth sister, and the sixth sister will also send a basket to have a try. Doesn’t the sixth sister like to eat Jiangnan honey? "Peach, tell her, if it's not enough, let her send someone over to get it."
Li Shu clapped her little hands and told the girl below, her eyes curved into two sweet crescents. (End of this chapter)
