Chapter 12 Mid-Autumn Festival

Although Yun Xian tried every means to win over Jiang Shan, he didn't say what he asked Jiang Shan to do for him.Earlier, I mentioned something nondescript about making clothes, probably no one was worried about it.The two of them have no clear affiliation, but they are like friends, occasionally sitting together and talking.

Yun Xian comes from a distinguished family background, and is well-read and well-informed. His knowledge and knowledge are far from comparable to Jiang Shan's.The six arts of a gentleman, needless to say in Jingshi Ziji, even from astronomy and geography, down to diet and daily life, Yun Xian can say a few words.

He is so knowledgeable and has such an extraordinary bearing, he is the kind of person Jiang Shan especially wants to be.Most people have a kind of strong admiration, Jiang Shan looks at him, it is hard not to feel close to him.

This day happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the palace held a night banquet. I wanted to have a good time, but I never thought that it would rain suddenly, and the patter of rain would disturb the enjoyment of enjoying the moon, so they sat down and then dispersed, and only asked these waiters people have a leisure.

Jiang Shan went back to his small yard, thought about it, went to the kitchen to prepare some food, packed it in a brocade box, and walked towards Qingzhuxuan with an umbrella.

Just when he came to a clump of crape myrtle, he looked up and saw that Yun Xian was walking towards here holding an umbrella.The two stopped when they met, and Yun Xian said with a smile: "I just wanted to talk to someone, so you came here. In this way, we have a good understanding."

Jiang Shan pursed his lips and smiled, "At any rate, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, it's fine if the weather isn't beautiful, it would be too desolate to be alone."

Yun Xian smiled and said yes, and stepped forward to take the food box from Jiang Shan's hand.Jiang Shan put away the umbrella in his hand, and gave him half of his own umbrella. The raindrops hit the umbrella surface, making a rustling sound.

When I arrived at Qingzhuxuan, it was quiet inside, only two lamps were hung in front of the main house door.

"I sent Sanqiu to play with your two apprentices." Yun Xian explained.

Jiang Shan nodded in agreement, closed the umbrella and put it by the door.

The rain was not heavy, Yun Xian moved the table out and put it under the porch.Without him talking, Jiang Shan spontaneously brought out the contents of the food box one by one.Yun Xian brought two ram horn lanterns and put them on the table, and the two sat on either side.

It can be seen that there are more than a dozen delicate fruits and vegetables on the table. There are four dishes of fresh fruit, four dishes of seasonal side dishes, and several kinds of side dishes. They are all served in thin porcelain bowls. Still steaming.Jiang Shan picked up the jug, and poured light yellow liquor into two small vegetarian egret and lotus cups.

Yun Xian held up the wine glass to respect Jiang Shan, and Jiang Shan also held up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Drinking the wine dispelled the chill of the rainy night.Jiang Shan took the tea and rice at this time, and ate a few mouthfuls.Yun Xian didn't move his chopsticks much, he only drank.

"Dinner is only at this time?" Yun Xian asked.

"I just took care of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so I don't have time for dinner."

Not all servants are like this. In the past, in the palace, the slaves could only eat after the master finished eating. If things go on like this, the stomach and intestines will become the root of the disease.Although Jiang Shan is young, he also has some problems in his stomach.

"No wonder." Seeing Jiang Shan eating slowly, Yun Xian couldn't help but said, "Why are you eating so slowly? The food is cold and I don't see how much you ate."

"I have a bad stomach, and I feel uncomfortable after eating in a hurry."

Yun Xian was startled and stopped talking.

Jiang Shan pushed a plate of Jinhua shortbread in front of Yun Xian, "Try this, there happens to be a cook in the house who is from Zhejiang, I specially asked her to make it."

Jinhua shortbread is shaped like a crab shell, covered with sesame seeds, and golden on both sides. It also has the unique flavor of dried vegetables and bacon. It is fragrant, salty and fresh, making people salivate.

"You know I like to eat this?" Yun Xian asked.

"Who in the capital doesn't know?" Jiang Shan smiled and said, "The grandson of the emperor only wears brocade, drinks tea from the rainy season, and for dessert, he only prefers this Jinhua shortbread."

Nowadays people prefer soft, glutinous and sweet dim sum, but Dudu Yunxian likes the salty Jinhua shortbread.His Majesty even went to Zhejiang Province to find a chef who is good at making shortbread for him. This is Yunxian's unique honor.

Thinking of this, Yun Xian's complexion paled a little.Jiang Shan felt it keenly, and said, "What does what people do have anything to do with things? You have a delicate mind, so you shouldn't be unable to figure this out."

Yun Xian didn't speak, Jiang Shan thought for a while and said, "Do you know when I saw you the first time?"

Yun Xian raised his eyelids and glanced at him, finally becoming interested, "When?"

"It must have been seven or eight years," Jiang Shan said, "at that time I was still in the Empress Dowager's palace. Once, you and the prince of Qi came to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. In the side hall, there was a quarrel for some reason. Get up. I'm listening. You were only a little old at that time. You opened your mouth, and you were fast and poisonous. You scolded Prince Qi and cried, so he ran out to find your lord. You just bring Prince Qi's portion of shortbread. have eaten."

Jiang Shan laughed as he spoke.At that time, Yun Xian was probably in his teens, and his eyebrows and eyes were extremely delicate. When talking to the prince of Qi, his aura overwhelmed him to death. His noble aura was not even inferior to the crown prince, King Qi, and other adults. Jiang Shan has one memory for many years.

Yun Xian obviously didn't remember this incident, but when he heard Jiang Shan talking about it, he wasn't shy at all, as if he was quite proud of stealing food from others.

Yun Xian supported his head, played with the wine glass with one hand, and looked at him with great interest, "So, you remembered me then?"

Jiang Shan paused, "How old were you then, I remember what you were doing?"

Yun Xian smiled, "According to what you say, if I am older, you will remember me in your heart?"

Jiang Shan wanted to scold Yun Xian for being frivolous again, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything. He lowered his head and ate the cut watermelon.

Yun Xian laughed, stretched out his hand and rolled a piece of Jinhua shortbread.The rain gradually became lighter, and the sound of dripping on the bamboo shoots became softer.Jiang Shan looked at the sky and said, "When the rain stops, maybe the moon will come out again."

"I don't want the rain to stop," Yun Xian said leisurely, "It's better to have a bigger rain, so that you don't have the pleasure of admiring the moon."

Jiang Shan looked at Yun Xian suspiciously, Yun Xian poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "People are reunited, but I'm lonely. It's better if everyone doesn't watch the moon, and it will make me look less lonely and pitiful, and more decent."

Jiang Shan pursed his lips, and said: "That's not what I said. The life is my own, not for others. What is there to compare it with? Besides, your thinking is too..." Jiang Shan Shan didn't find the right words, Yun Xian nodded with a smile, "I know what you want to say, but you think I'm thinking too much. Didn't you just tell me about Butler Sun through Sanqiu's mouth?"

"I don't mean I'm dissatisfied with you," Jiang Shan said after consideration: "When something happened to my family, I was in great pain. I didn't know how to live. I even thought about whether I could drag my enemy with my life." Let's die together."

"I'm different from you," Yun Xian interrupted him, "At that time you were young, and you didn't have enough self-protection. Now that I want revenge, I must use a surefire method."

"It's not the same," Jiang Shan said, "Aren't you full of revenge now? You are just like me back then, giving everything to revenge! Have you ever thought that after you take revenge, you How should I deal with myself?"

"It's too early." Yun Xian said with a smile, "You have too much confidence in me."

"I'm not joking with you." Jiang Shan looked serious. He had seen Yun Xian's eyes like a lone wolf, and he had also seen the deep hatred in Yun Xian's eyes.He knew that Yun Xian was not what he appeared to be.

"Hatred is inherently painful. If a person has too much pain in his heart, something will happen."

Yun Xian's face paled, "Do you want to persuade me to stop?"

"That's not what I mean," Jiang Shan sighed. "What I want to say is that even if you bear hatred, you can enjoy some good things. You can't hate everything just because you hate some people. I hope you Retain the ability to love others and love yourself no matter what.”

Yun Xian restrained his casual expression, and looked up at Jiang Shan.Jiang Shan's eyes were full of seriousness, and there was a bit of concern that he couldn't hide.

If there is such a thing as empathy in this world, Jiang Shan is undoubtedly the person who can empathize with Yun Xian the most.He is now so sincerely persuading Yunxian, probably because he has experienced this kind of disillusionment.Yun Xian thought, Jiang Shan was only eight years old when the accident happened in the Prince's Mansion of Nanping County, could an eight-year-old child bear such drastic changes?How did he spend the days and nights after he survived? Was he also tortured to the point of madness by hatred?

"Are you listening to me?" Jiang Shan frowned.

"Listen." Yun Xian said, "I understand what you mean."

Jiang Shan frowned, and said, "That's good."

It seemed that this matter had been on his mind for a long time, and now that it was resolved, the worry in his heart disappeared, and his face was a little relieved.

After eating tea and rice, Jiang Shan cleaned up the dishes and took some tea leaves to make tea.

He boiled water to make tea, and Yun Xian was not idle, he took out a small silver box, opened the box, and inside was very finely ground face powder.Yunxian added little by little to the incense burner with a small silver spoon.Soon, curling smoke overflowed.

The incense that Yun Xian usually uses is common things, but this time the incense is obviously not.When Jiang Shan smelled it, he felt that the fragrance was rich and spread out, like a feast, with endless aftertaste.

"What kind of incense is this?" Jiang Shan asked.

"It's a kind of palace incense from the Tang Dynasty," Yun Xian said slowly, "use two liang of incense, soak it in honey water, boil it slowly for a day, two liang of sandalwood, soak it in green tea for one night, and borneol , musk, carapace, horse tooth nitrate. Grind it into fine powder, put it in a box, and burn some when you use it. It can also be mixed into honey pills and put into the smoked ball that you carry."

Yun Xian looked at Jiang Shan and asked, "Does it smell good?"

Jiang Shan nodded, and Yun Xian smiled, "I made this specially for you as a gift, using an ancient method, and you can't find the same in the entire capital."

Jiang Shan looked at Yun Xian in amazement, not saying anything else, but these four unique words are precious enough.

Yun Xian pushed the incense box to Jiang Shan, "This is the incense for this season, and I will have another incense for you in winter. The seasons are different throughout the year, and the fragrances of the four seasons are also different."

Jiang Shan disagreed and said: "It's too much effort, I accept your wish, and the fragrance of the four seasons will be avoided."

Yun Xian propped his head and smiled, "I used to be rich and precious for more than ten years, but now I see it's a waste of time. Only this fragrance, because you like it, it's not a waste."
