old friend wine

The days passed.Shen Ci and Xu Qinghan were busy with their own business during the day, one was busy with court affairs, the other was busy proving himself to win the hearts of the people, and they didn't have time to spend together until the lights came on.

The two of them shared the same table, and Shen Ci moved a chair to sit opposite Xu Qinghan, just like when he was a reading companion 11 years ago.They put their heads on each other, writing their own materials with a pen in their hands.

Shen Ci twisted a corner of the paper and shook it, "My lord, Lao Liang and the others have applied to you to leave the mansion, look..."

Xu Qinghan returned without raising his head, "You can figure it out, don't ask me, if you want a stamp, get it yourself, it's on the top shelf."

"Okay." Shen Ci dipped his pen and ink, and wrote on the paper in a fluttering fashion: No.

Xu Qinghan glanced at him from the corner of his eye, put down his pen and looked at Shen Ci and said, "They are Wei Jun's most valued guards, and they will definitely have the most objections to you. Wouldn't it be a good idea for them to leave voluntarily?"

"What are you going to do? The five-year contract hasn't expired yet, so there's no reason to set such a precedent." Shen Ci stood up and stretched himself, and walked around behind Xu Qinghan to get the seal on the bookshelf.Xu Qinghan put his arms on the back of the chair, turned half-turned and discussed with him, "The Tianshui snowstorm allocated 1 taels of gold, fearing that the officials would delay the relief of the disaster area by deducting layers of money, the emperor sent me to the disaster relief, you go with me Bar?"

Shen Ci dipped some ink paste with his fingers, and wiped it on his face narrowly, "I will accompany you if I serve you so much." He picked up Xu Qinghan and carried it on his shoulder, and strode towards the bed.

Xu Qinghan thumped his shoulder dumbfoundingly, "Stop making trouble, my official documents haven't been approved yet, and I won't have the strength to deal with them after I finish!"

Shen Ci threw him on the big soft bed, leaned over and bit his neck gently, "I can't wait, you write these official documents every day until midnight, and you are so tired that you lie on the bed and go to sleep. Very jealous."

Xu Qinghan was teased by him so that his skin gradually turned pale pink, and he pushed Shen Ci, wanting to welcome but still refusing, and said angrily, "I have to go to court tomorrow morning, you can write to me later!"

"Your subordinate obeys." Shen Ci responded cheerfully, and peeled off Xu Qinghan's clothes layer by layer like an orange, revealing a body as shiny as white jade inside.

Both of them are young and full of vigor. After suppressing for a long time, the long-overdue joy_love was extremely intense and long. I don't even want to move my fingers.He lay lazily on the bed wrapped in a thick quilt, directing Shen Ci to write with a hoarse voice.

Xu Qinghan only gave Shen Ci a general idea, and Shen Ci had to consider the specific words and sentences. This was undoubtedly a lot of physical work.Shen Ci racked his brains to stop and write, which was quite painful.The things that can be passed on to Xu Qinghan are already regarded as important matters of the family and the country, and he dare not neglect the important matters.

"Why do you have to deal with so many things recently? I remember that you were quite free last summer, and you still had time to find me outside the customs." Shen Ci complained, rubbing his temples.

Xu Qinghan asked, "You were planting corn, what do you think the harvest will be like?"

Shen Ci sighed and said, "I was captured by you and returned to the palace for a month and a half. The crops were left unattended, and the weeds killed the corn seedlings. Last year, there was no harvest. It's a pity that I bought seeds all the way, planted them, watered them and hoeed them. It’s been so long since the grass has been planted. But if the plant is harvested in autumn, the harvest will be rare and good.”

"There are no natural or man-made disasters in Kyushu this summer, so of course I have few tasks. Recently, many places in the Northwest have been hit by snowstorms, and many people have froze to death." Xu Qinghan said with a headache, "I heard that the snow in Tianshui can go up to the knees, Going to disaster relief this time is also a hard job."

Shen Ci said, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. If the imperial court wants to last forever, it must seize the hearts of the people. You are an important figure in the imperial court, and you are His Majesty's most beloved younger brother. His Majesty's sending you to disaster relief can reflect Your Majesty sympathizes with the sufferings of the common people, and uses it to appease the hearts of all people in the world."

Xu Qinghan nodded, "Brother Huang is exactly what he meant."

Shen Ci took the inkpad and seal, and printed them neatly on each document, "It's all written, go to sleep."

Xu Qinghan rubbed his stomach, "I'm hungry."

Shen Ci picked up the cakes on the table, squatted beside the bed and held them in front of Xu Qinghan, "My lord, please have a meal."

Xu Qinghan picked up a piece of peony cake and stuffed it into Shen Ci's mouth, curled his lips and said, "I don't want to eat this, I want to eat braised pork."

"You are really my brother!" Shen Ci almost spit out a mouthful of crumbs, "It's past the third watch, and you told me that you want to eat braised pork? Are you still sleeping?"

"Then don't sleep!" Xu Qinghan sat up happily, "Let's go, Ah Ci, I'll help you."

Xu Qinghan said it nicely, but in fact he had to support his waist when he walked, so he couldn't help at all.He was wearing a fox fur and sitting on a small bench by the stove, Shen Ci filled the fire one by one to make the fire hot, and then he moved his hands to the stove to keep warm.

The water in the pot was heated up, Shen Ci scooped the water into the wooden basin, mixed some cold water, picked a piece of good pork belly and put it in for washing.The meat has been frozen, and the warm water let it thaw a little, and the corners become softer.He fished out the meat and put it on the cutting board, skillfully began to cut into pieces.Fortunately, the meat is hard, so he doesn't have to grind it back and forth when cutting, otherwise he can't cut it so smoothly with only one hand.

Xu Qinghan watched him cut the meat intently, and eagerly said, "A Ci, teach me how to make braised pork, and I can make it for you in the future."

"My mother married my father for more than ten years and hasn't learned how to cook braised pork. Can you do it?"

Xu Qinghan said, "Let's learn slowly, anyway, this life is still long, how can we live another 40 years?"

"..." Shen Ci really didn't dare to think about this question. He thought of his grandfather who had just passed away due to San Gong. This is his future, and it's just a matter of time.

His silence made Xu Qinghan feel flustered, he tentatively called, "Aci?"

Shen Ci came back to his senses, and recalled with a normal look, "When I was young, I liked to eat the braised pork made by my father the most. I could order two big bowls of rice every time. Later, when I had Shen Che, the little thing even robbed me of my parents. I don’t even have time to cook braised pork for me. I really hate him. My mother raised a large bunch of peonies in the yard. The more I thought about it, the more I got angry. I took him and threw it into the flowers. The flower branches almost hurt his eyes. Blind. Now pay attention to the corners of his eyes, and the scars from that year."

"It's really not like you." Xu Qinghan said in surprise, "So you weren't so nice to Shen Che before? You even hated him."

"Of course! That time my mother pressed me on the bed and whipped me, and my buttocks were swollen. My father who always defended me didn't say a word of mercy. I hate that brat Shen Che to death." Shen Ci paused, Shaking his head, he said bitterly, "Later, my parents passed away, and I only had this little brat as my relative. He was still very young at that time, and he was tired and frightened from running away. Here, tell me: brother, I’m hungry, I want to eat braised pork, I miss my father, and I also miss my mother.”

Shen Ci looked up at the sky, pursed his lips and said lightly, "That time Shen Che had a severe fever and almost didn't come back to life. After waking up, he almost forgot all the previous things. It's a good thing. I don't remember these things. It must be easy."
