life in ancient gods

Chapter 132 132 should be green fat red thin
It's late at night, but the night market stalls in Bianjing City are still booming.

The moonlight is falling, and the reflection on the river next to Baihualou presents a charming scene.

On the railing of the stone arch bridge made of stone strips, passers-by lean on the railing and eat fragrant barbecue.

Su Ping'an and Li Qingzhao walked out of Baihualou, looked up at the night sky, and took a deep breath of the slightly cool air.

Li Qingzhao held the lantern in his hand, and turned his head to look at the snack barbeque booth on the bank of the river, "General Su, thank you for your rescue last time. As a thank you, my little girl would like to treat you to supper. I wonder if General Su will show you respect..."

"Okay, I happen to be a little hungry, general." Su Pingan turned sideways and followed Li Qingzhao's gaze at the smoke-filled barbecue stall on the river bank.

The two walked side by side to a barbecue stall selling lamb kebabs.

Smelling the tangy aroma of grilled mutton, and looking at the sizzling mutton skewers grilled on the charcoal fire, Su Ping'an couldn't help swallowing.

The mutton skewers on the charcoal fire, the mutton on the skewers are very large, and one skewer is the top ten modern skewers.

Li Qingzhao said to the mutton kebab vendor, "Shopkeeper, here are two mutton skewers."

"Okay, two guests, please wait a moment, the mutton skewers will be ready soon." The hawker selling mutton skewers said enthusiastically.

Su Ping'an and Li Qingzhao stood on the bank of the river, looking at the scenery on the water.

Li Qingzhao placed the lantern in his hand on the stone pillar of the bridge railing and said with a smile: "General Su, the mutton skewers by the Danshui River are delicious."

Su Pingan smiled, "Miss Li, do you often come here to eat skewers?"

"No, it's a bit far from my home, and I've only been here twice." Li Qingzhao said looking at the reflection of the bright moon in the lake.

"Two guests, the mutton skewers are ready." At this time, the mutton skewer vendor came to the two of them with two skewers.

Li Qingzhao took out a bulging money bag from his bosom, and took out a tael of silver, "This is a tael of silver, don't need to look for it."

"Thank you, sir! You are so generous." The hawker smiled happily and thanked him quickly.

Li Qingzhao took two skewers of mutton skewers from the vendor and handed one to Su Pingan, "General Su, shall we eat on the stone bridge?"

"Okay." Su Pingan took the mutton skewers, nodded, looked down at the mutton skewers that weighed a pound in his hand, lightly bit a bit of mutton, and tasted the taste. The meat was tender and cumin-flavored.

The two walked to the stone arch bridge, leaned against the bridge railing, looked at the sparkling Danshui River, and ate delicious mutton skewers.

Li Qingzhao took a bite of mutton skewers, chewed slowly, turned his bright eyes slightly, and said slowly: "General Su, why don't you stay in Bianjing for a few more days this time?"

"...Miss Li, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. My wife is happy. I can't stay in Bianjing for too long. I'll go back early tomorrow morning." Su Pingan shook his head and smiled, politely refusing.

"... Are you happy?!" Li Qingzhao was startled for a moment, then smiled and bowed slightly to Su Pingan, "The little lady congratulates General Su. I hope General Su's wife can give birth to a big fat boy..."

Su Pingan smiled and joked: "Haha, it would be great for my wife to have a little girl as smart as you."

A trace of puzzlement appeared in Li Qingzhao's eyes, "General Su, you are really a strange person..."

"...What's so strange?" Su Pingan ate a piece of mutton, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and blinked suspiciously when he heard Li Qingzhao's words.

"Others want their wives to give birth to a big fat boy, but you think it's good to give birth to a girl, isn't that strange?" Li Qingzhao tilted his head, looked at Su Ping'an, and said with narrowed eyes.

"Miss Li, many things in this world don't happen as you wish..." Su Ping'an said.

Li Qingzhao nodded, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "...it is true, my father wanted a boy, but my mother gave him a little girl, that is me, but my father is He loves me very much, and let me study like a boy and learn the six arts, but I can't get a job like a boy."

As she spoke, she curled her lips.

"Hehe, fame is nothing more than floating clouds..." Su Ping'an shrugged and smiled dryly.

"Fame is nothing more than floating clouds?" Li Qingzhao lowered her head and thought for a while, and she probably understood what Su Pingan meant by floating clouds, but she was still a little puzzled, "General Su, your words are always so novel, but why is fame a floating cloud?" Woolen cloth."

Su Ping'an finished the mutton skewers in his hand, smiled slightly, and said solemnly: "You were born in a wealthy family and lived a privileged life. I don't know how many people would envy you. As long as you live a good life, your fame will be fleeting. That’s all…”

Li Qingzhao seemed to be inspired, nodded, "General Su, what you said seems to make sense, the little girl remembered it."

Su Pingan looked up at the full moon in the night sky, "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back earlier, the general is going back to the inn to rest."

Saying that, he returned the iron sign in his hand to the hawker selling mutton skewers, and turned to go back to the inn.

Li Qingzhao didn't know when she would see Su Pingan again after this separation. She felt that she had learned a lot from Su Pingan. With a trace of reluctance in her eyes, she walked up to Su Pingan and said, "General Su, We say goodbye tonight and I don’t know when we will see each other again. General Su, can you send the little girl home again?"

Su Ping'an looked at the black line on his forehead, and said hesitantly: "Miss Li,...well, it doesn't matter if the general can be the flower protector again."

Li Qingzhao walked side by side with Su Pingan, holding a lantern in his hand, talking and laughing while looking at the scenery on the night market.

Before they knew it, the two came to Suzaku Street in Nancheng again.

The pedestrians on Suzaku Street in Nancheng were still as sparse as that night, but it was not like meeting any bad people that night.

Li Qingzhao held the lantern, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, he bowed slightly to Su Ping'an and said, "Thank you, General Su, for sending the little girl home again."

Su Ping'an said indifferently: "Miss Li, you are welcome."

Li Qingzhao took out a light blue knitted silk handkerchief from his bosom, which glowed with a faint light blue light under the light of the lantern, "This silk handkerchief was woven by the little girl after writing the poem "Like a Dream Order" a few days ago. If you embroidered it, give it to General Su as a thank you."

"...This... Well, thank you Miss Li for your kindness." Su Pingan felt that it was inappropriate to accept the silk handkerchief from Li Qingzhao, but thought that it was Li Qingzhao's kindness, so it was not easy to refuse, so she nodded and accepted it.

Seeing that Su Pingan accepted her light blue silk handkerchief, Li Qingzhao smiled and saluted Su Pingan again. Then, holding the lantern, Li Qingzhao turned and walked slowly towards a deep house compound next to the street.

Su Pingan looked at Li Qingzhao's back, unfolded the light blue silk handkerchief in his hand, and opened it to look.

The scene of lush green leaves and withered red flowers is embroidered on the light blue silk handkerchief, and a few lines of small characters are embroidered on one side, which is the poem Rumengling.

Su Pingan looked down at the light blue silk handkerchief and murmured: "Do you know? Do you know? It should be green, fat, red and thin..."

……

The eighth day of July in the fourth year of Yongtai
Because he cooperated with the imperial court to eliminate Fang La, Su Ping'an was promoted to the third rank of Zhenbei General, and concurrently served as the prefect of Zhending County, in charge of the military and civil affairs, security and city defense of Zhending County.

Zhending County is the northern border city of the Daye Dynasty. It is separated from the border of the Liao Kingdom by the Sanggan River and not far from Xixia.

The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with red clouds.

Zhending County, the prefect's mansion, covers an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters.

Su Pingan had a good night with his family in the main room in the front yard. The three maids, Su Jin'er, Han Ling'er, and Han Xueer, cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks on the big round table.

Li Yinger accompanied her mother, Li Shi, while her younger sister, Su Pingyue, was talking and chatting.

Su Pingan walked out of the main room and stretched, and Li Shishi and Li Shishi went for a walk in the backyard garden through the carved railings and jade-built courtyards and pavilions.

Behind the backyard garden is a row of more than a dozen luxurious wing rooms with green bricks and green tiles, similar to the mansions in Jinling City.

When Su Pingan was appointed by the imperial court as the general of Zhenbei and the prefect of Zhending County, because the journey was far away, he was afraid that his family would be too bumpy and tired on the journey, so he prepared to fight with Lu Da, Wu Song, Hua Rong, Li Tianba, and others. Xiao Rang, the newly recruited aide and sage scholar, led three thousand black-armored cavalry and three thousand god-armed crossbowmen to take office in Zhending County.

But Li Shishi, Li Yinger, including the younger sister and mother, were reluctant to part with Su Ping'an, and wanted to go to Zhending County with Su Ping'an.

In this way, Su Ping'an could only bring his family to Zhending County.

The restaurant and martial arts business in Jinling is still handed over to Wu Zhi and Zhao Buzhu.

The Fulai Inn was handed over to the idiot Su Mingcheng to take care of it.

Because the Daye Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom were in the truce period, and there was a trade agreement, Zhending County not only had a caravan from the Western Regions leading camels to do business.

There are also traders from the Liao Kingdom who brought a large number of cattle, sheep and horses to Zhending County, and exchanged the cattle, sheep and horses with the merchants in Zhending County, or sold them.

Su Ping'an got more than 20 taels of silver from the pawn shop and the pawned goods in the pawn shop.

He used the more than 20 taels of silver, including the money earned from the operation of restaurants, martial arts halls, and inns, to buy cattle and horses.

The purchased horses are used as war horses to expand and train the cavalry.

Cattle are leased to tenant farmers and their soldiers to reclaim wasteland to plant crops and store grain for emergencies.

For a time, the commerce and agriculture of Zhending County showed a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

Su Ping'an and Li Shishi took a walk in the garden where the grass was luxuriant, the flowers were blooming, and the green and red matched each other.

This is a leisure activity that Su Pingan often does with Li Shishi after returning home from business and having dinner.

Accompanying a beautiful woman, breathing the fresh air in the garden, and looking at the pleasing garden scenery is also a kind of happy life.

After Su Ping'an and Li Shishi took a walk in the garden, the sky was getting late, the moon was rising, and the stars were twinkling.

Tonight Li Shishi has her long hair pulled back high, and she tied her jet-black hair into a wishful bun. A white jade hairpin is inserted obliquely between her temples. She has a little powder on her face, and she is wearing a moon-white dress with a pair of skirts scattered with flowers and mist, looking fresh and elegant. , dignified and generous.

The two were a little tired from walking in the garden, so they sat on two stone benches by the lotus pond, took off their shoes, and soaked their feet in the pond water.

The water in the lotus pond is cool and cool, and there are small fish swimming and pecking at the bottom of the feet. It can be described as a comfortable enjoyment in this summer night.

Under the bright moon, Li Shishi leaned on Su Ping'an's shoulder, swayed his feet gently in the pool water, and murmured: "Husband, in my spare time, I have composed the blue and white porcelain song you sang into piano music. Husband, do you want to listen to it?" ?”

Su Pingan looked up at the night sky and smiled slightly, "No hurry, the lady must be a little tired tonight, and it won't be too late to play for my husband tomorrow."

Li Shishi gently patted the corner of his eyes to relieve fatigue. He swung his feet back and forth in the pool and took out a light blue silk handkerchief from his arms. The silk handkerchief was embroidered with a scene of lush green leaves and withered red flowers. There was also embroidered on one side. A few lines of fine print.

She looked at the small words on the silk handkerchief, a smile appeared in her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Husband, did you buy this silk silk handkerchief for my concubine? It is very delicate, and I like it very much."

"..." Su Pingan looked at the silk handkerchief in Li Shishi's hand, and was slightly startled, with a black line on his forehead, thinking: "This must have been accidentally dropped on the bed when changing clothes..."

Li Shishi saw Su Pingan staring at Si Pa blankly, without saying a word, a trace of sadness appeared in her beautiful eyes. Although she did not object to Su Pingan taking a concubine, she hoped that Su Pingan would be honest with her.

"My lady, this is a gift from a friend..." Su Pingan said frankly without thinking about it, without hiding anything.

Li Shishi saw that Su Ping'an was so honest with her, the gloomy look in his beautiful eyes disappeared, and asked with a slightly hesitant smile: "Friend? Is it a girl?"

A ray of breeze blew across the water surface of the lotus pond, passing the cheeks of the two people on the bank of the pond with a hint of coolness.

Su Ping'an felt a little relieved, nodded and said: "Well, to be precise, she is a poet friend... She wrote the poem mentioned above by Si Pa."

Under the reflection of the moonlight, Li Shishi looked at a few lines of small characters on the silk handkerchief, and murmured: "Last night, the rain was dredging and the wind was violent, and the heavy sleep did not make the wine go away. I tried the man with the curtain, but the begonia was still there. Do you know? Do you know?" It should be green, fat, red and thin... Husband, this poem is really well written, presumably that friend of your husband must be a peerless talented woman with a lot of education."

Su Ping'an complimented: "...Well, the lady is really smart, she can guess right."

"Husband, you really know how to make my concubine happy." Li Shishi pursed her lips and smiled softly, the laughter was as sweet as a silver bell, and it was obvious that Su Ping'an's compliment made her very happy.
