Chapter 11

"I've eaten." Jiang Jing naturally had eaten this kind of pastry before, and it was the old days when the high-spirited prince pulled her into the carriage to Yangzhou City.

At that time, he jokingly said, "Fireworks will go down to Yangzhou in March. I didn't go for the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou. I just went for a few bites of food."

Jiang Jing followed him, chasing burden-carrying peddlers in the alleys; she also hugged a large handful of apricot flowers picked by the prince over the wall to a wealthy family, and peddled them along the street.
At that time, the prince took out a branch of apricot blossom and pinned it on his waist, opened the folding fan, and said with a smile: "The taste of the world is as thin as gauze, who wants to ride a horse to Jinghua. The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty." .Short paper slanted to make grass, clear windows and thin milk to share tea. Plain clothes don't let the wind and dust sigh, as if you can get home in Qingming."

Later, she didn't sell any of them, the prince took her flowers and took her to eat cakes, but she only took a bite of the mille-feuille oil cake, the prince said innocently that he didn't bring any money.

The shopkeeper naturally refused, the prince was sitting on a chair at that time, holding a handful of apricot blossoms, looking at the shopkeeper with his long and narrow Danfeng eyes, and asked if the order could be waived if he told the origin of the mille-feuille oil cake.

The shopkeeper saw that he was not someone who deliberately found fault, so he agreed.The prince waved his folding fan and slowly told the story.

After eating pastries, the prince gave the apricot flowers to the shopkeeper, and took Jiang Jing to find an inn to stay.When Jiang Jing saw the broken silver dropped in front of the inn counter.

Angrily said that the prince is a rascal, the rascal walked to the middle of the stairs, turned his head, put the folding fan in front of his moist lips, and said with crooked eyes, "This country belongs to our family, what if I eat a few cakes? "

Jiang Jing thought of the prince who used to eat pot stickers and bargained with others at the border, and then thought of the rascal who is now eating free food, she couldn't help but sigh that the world is cold and people's hearts are not old.

Jiang Jing waited for Jiang Xu to finish eating, then packed the leftover cakes with oiled paper and put them in a bamboo basket. After paying the bill, she took Jiang Xu and left.

Looking at the setting sun, Jiang Jing guessed that it was still early, so she asked Jiang Xu if he wanted to listen to the opera troupe or the pipa.

Jiang Jing took Jiang Xu's hand and said slowly: "Mei Sanniang's pipa is very good. She learned the pipa well when she was thirteen, and it belongs to the first department of Jiaofang. Liyuan opera is also very good. That kind of excerpt by Miss Scholar is also quite refreshing. Would you like to watch it, Xuer?"

"Sister, I want to watch an excerpt." Jiang Xu thought that he couldn't hear anything when he listened to pipa music, so he might as well watch an excerpt.

Jiang Jing led her to a pear orchard, paid the money, and took the ticket to go in. Because she was dressed as a maidservant, the pear orchard team thought they were sneaking out to play, so they arranged a later seat for them.

"The Reunion of the Immortal Pair" was being performed on the stage. Because it was late, the opera was in its third fold.

Jiang Xu couldn't understand what stories these actors were babbling, so he raised his head, looked at his sister eagerly and asked about the story of the play.

Jiang Jing pinched Jiang Xu's delicate cheeks, and said with a smile: "Seven fairies disregarded the rules of heaven and went down to earth to marry Dong Yong privately. They longed for a better life and were finally torn apart by the Jade Emperor. This story tells What’s more, they met at Magpie Bridge.”

After Jiang Xu listened, he had a general idea of ​​the story in his mind, and sat on a yellow wooden chair and listened carefully.When the song ended, Jiang Jing led Jiang Xu back to the mansion.

On the way back to the mansion, there are lanterns hanging on the side of the street, and the lights are reflected on the bluestone road, like persimmons with a layer of icing sugar.

Jiang Xu's stomach growled when he thought of the persimmons.Hearing his stomach growling, Jiang Xu shyly covered half of his face with his wide sleeves.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Jing took out a candied haws and handed it to Jiang Xu.

"This is Begonia, do you want to eat it?" Jiang Jing handed the candied haws to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu took it with a smile and began to eat slowly.

"Little greedy cat." Jiang Jing took her sister's hand, and the light made the figures of the two people extremely long, Jiang Xu turned around and saw his own figure, and asked, "Sister, will I grow taller in the future? "

"Yes, Xu'er."

When they walked to the gate of the palace, Uncle Wang behind the door saw Princess Linzhi returning late, and said, "Princess Linzhi, my lord is here to welcome you from Siwei Garden."

Jiang Jing looked at the servants behind Uncle Wang, and knew that the matter of leaving the mansion had been discovered.I had no choice but to lower my head and dragged Jiang Xu to the Siwei Garden in a hurry.

Passing through a circular archway, the air is filled with cinnamon.The breeze is coming slowly, and the dark fragrance fills the sleeves.Beside the osmanthus tree stands a tall glazed palace lantern, and under the osmanthus tree, the slender fingers of a fairy in white are plucking the strings.

The white clothes are as smooth as water, and the long black hair is tied up with a hosta. The hair is stained with a few bright yellow osmanthus flowers, and some flowers fall on the hem of the clothes. The moonlight shines softly on the face of the immortal. The immortal with low eyebrows playing the piano There is also a bit of tenderness between the eyebrows.

"Are you willing to come back?" A cold voice sounded.

Only then did Jiang Jing realize that this fairy was not the luthier invited by the prince, but the prince himself.

Her heart was frightened, and she inhaled the strong scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, and with a keen sense of smell, she sneezed.

Jiang Jing felt that her image as the No. [-] lady in the capital collapsed in an instant.

Jiang Jing pulled Jiang Xu, who was also nervous, to salute. She stood tall under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, her slender eyelashes half drooping, and the shadow of the osmanthus leaves fell on the beautiful woman, making the light and shadow mottled.

In the eyes of the prince, Jiang Jing's appearance is like a goddess by the Luo River, if one ignores her maidservant clothes of green Gebu, her sallow complexion, and simple wooden hairpins.

The prince glanced at Jiang Xu, he was dressed in a servant's uniform, and his complexion was sallow, how decent he was.The prince was a little annoyed immediately, so he ordered Jiang Xu to go back to his room to freshen up.

When Jiang Jing heard that the prince told Jiang Xu to leave, she turned around and left as well.

"Lin Zhi, come back." The prince said hastily when he saw the beautiful woman who turned around and left.

Tears flowed down Jiang Jing's heart, it was not easy to make up a lie.

"Isn't Lin Zhi going to explain?" The prince lowered his eyes and pressed his fingers on the strings.

"..." Jiang Jing knew that the prince asked why he was leaving the mansion, but she didn't want to drag Jiang Xu into the water, so she simply remained silent.

The strings suddenly made a clanking sound, and Jiang Jing knew that the prince must be angry.With a flash of inspiration, he said to the prince, "I went out to buy candied haws for you."

Hearing these words, the immortal seemed to feel better, and a tear seemed to be falling from the end of the immortal's eyes under the moonlight.

Jiang Jing took out one of the candied haws from the bamboo basket and handed it to the prince. After the prince took it, he didn't eat the candied haws.

"Don't you like to eat?"

"No."

"Then why don't you eat?"

"Is this a gift before leaving? Linzhi." When the prince said this, his eyes were filled with tears, the tip of his nose was red, and his tone was soft, like a whimpering sound of a little animal about to be abandoned, Maybe if you say another word, this little animal will cry.

Jiang Jing was momentarily at a loss for words.He took the piano from the prince's arms, flipped the hem of his clothes, and sat on the ground.

He plucked the strings with his fingers and tried the sound.

After the sound audition, "Yangguan Trifold" was played.

Jiang Jing sang while playing: "Carrying luggage, sand-headed wine bottles, carrying wine in the long pavilion. Thousands of miles away, drunk before drinking, who knows this hatred. Poor, pitiful, pitiful, sad, can't bear to leave, Can't bear to leave."

This song covers the love of those who say goodbye.Thinking that his heart is the same as glue paint, smells like Zhilan, and his ancestors are in the capital.Those who listen to his voice will never feel the sorrow of leaving others.

Hearing the sadness of his voice, the prince frowned and wept.The candied haws that I bit into a few were also stained with tears, and the sugar juice melted.

Jiang Jing sang: "From now on, we will miss each other so much. Who will say goodbye?"

"Azhi, it's bitter." The prince's mournful voice interrupted the playing.

Jiang Jing looked up at the prince with tears on his face, feeling a little guilty for playing a farewell song.

Seeing Lin Zhi ignoring him, the prince's eyes filled with tears again, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"A Zhi, it's bitter." A bunch of bright red candied haws was handed over.

Jiang Jing shook her head helplessly, and blocked the candied haws with her hands.

"It's not bitter. I ate it in the morning. It's sweet."

The prince stubbornly handed over the candied haws, "Ah Zhi, it's so bitter. Can you finish eating for me?"

Jiang Jing remembered the time in the afternoon when Jiang Xu asked her to help eat the sour candied haws, and then looked at the person who said the candied haws were bitter. Hey, they really were biological father and daughter.

Reluctantly, I took the candied haws and ate it slowly.

The prince supported his face with his hands, looking at the little girl sitting on the ground eating candied haws. The little girl he likes looks good even if she is sitting on the ground eating candied haws.

After Jiang Jing finished eating the candied haws, the prince handed her a handkerchief and asked her to wipe her mouth and wipe off the eye-catching powder.

Jiang Jing took the handkerchief, slightly startled.
