Litchi spring warm Xijiang

You make one yourself to fry.I definitely have to totally make my own mooncakes. "

"Just do another one later." Wan Liang scolded.

Gu Zezhi smiled embarrassingly, and said: "I'm afraid I... will never have the luck to make such a good one again. Time is tight!"

As soon as Wan Liang heard the words "time is tight", her heart sank suddenly.Wanliang almost felt that she was out of her mind recently, no matter what bad things she heard, she could always get around to her and Gu Zezhi's affairs.

The closer it is to the end, the more reluctant it is.Wan Liang always felt that if everything ended in such a bland manner, it would be as if it had never begun.On such a strange and precious day, there should always be something to think about.

"Zezhi, can I go out for a while?" Wan Liang turned her head and said to Gu Zezhi, "There is no sweet-scented osmanthus in the stuffing here, I want to pick some. You continue to make your mooncakes."

"Go and come back quickly." Gu Zezhi nodded in response.

Wan Liang turned around and went out, walked along Gui Path, back to the Nuan Pavilion where she lived.

Seeing her, the little maid who served her asked strangely, "Why is Miss Wanliang back?"

"I'll take some things and leave, you don't have to follow along." Wan Liang replied gently, and went straight into the Nuan Pavilion.

Wanliang walked to the desk, laid out a thicker piece of rice paper, and took out a paper weight to press it.There was still some ink left in the inkstone, she picked up the thinnest pen to dip some, but her hand was hanging in the air.The breeze mingled in the corridor, and the white rice paper suppressed by the paper was blown up, making a "fluttering" sound, which seemed a little desolate in the silence.

The size of paper and silk, but it wants to tell thousands of words.

Time does not allow careful consideration of words, Wan Liang finally wrote the pen.

"The phoenix does not fly, and I perish." The lowercase letters of the hairpin flower are extremely small, and the eight characters are only the size of one finger.

Wanliang cut off the strip, rolled it up carefully, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and held it in her hand.She set up the pen, ink and paperweight, turned around and walked out of the warm pavilion.There were golden osmanthus on both sides of the laurel path, she picked some casually and sprinkled them in the handkerchief to cover the roll of paper, then hurried back to the small kitchen.

"Are you picking flowers, or are you going to steal them?" Gu Zezhi teased after seeing her come back after a long time, "Look, I've already made two of these mooncakes."

Wan Liang raised her eyes and smiled at her, and said, "Then fry your own first, and then I'll make one with sweet-scented osmanthus bean paste."

"But I won't." Gu Zezhi said helplessly.

"I almost forgot," Wanliang smiled apologetically, and then said, "When I make another filling, you can try this stuffing too."

"Forget it," Gu Zezhi picked up a piece of dough and kneaded it, "It happens to be fried in a pan later."

Seeing that she no longer paid attention to her, Wan Liang breathed a sigh of relief.She fiddled with the bouquet of sweet-scented osmanthus casually, found the tiny note, and quickly held it in her hand.Time is running out now, and the sweet-scented osmanthus has no time to marinate in sugar.She grabbed the sweet-scented osmanthus and sprinkled it in the bean filling, stirred it evenly, then used the tip of the chopsticks to make a long and thin hole, and stuffed the extremely thin rolled paper into it.The fillings are wrapped in sweet noodles, and this mooncake looks just like ordinary ones.

Wanliang glanced sideways at Gu Zezhi quickly, seeing that she was obsessed with making cakes, she felt relieved and said, "Zezhi, the new stuffing is ready. Let me teach you how to make mooncakes."

"Okay?" Gu Zezhi quickly put down the uncooked mooncake in his hand, and moved closer to Wanliang.

Wan Liang glanced at her with a slight smile, then poured some oil into the pan.As the oil gradually heated up, she picked up the piece of mooncake and put it in, making a sizzling sound immediately.

"Are all mooncakes made like this?" Gu Zezhi stared at the mooncake and asked.

"Not necessarily," Wanliang turned the cake over, "But I only know one way, the most old-fashioned way."

"This first one, let's share it." The mooncake was still raw, so Gu Zezhi started to plan it with great interest.

"This is for you to eat," Wan Liang replied flatly, "You eat it alone."

"Okay, then I'll make it for Wanliang later." Gu Zezhi replied with a smile, unaware of Wanliang's intentions.

The mooncake skin gradually turned a beautiful yellow color, and the sweet temperature also diffused.Gu Zezhi closed his eyes, sniffed his nose, greedily inhaling the aroma of sweet noodles being roasted.

"But it's ready?" Gu Zezhi stared at the golden mooncake in surprise.

Wanliang paused for a moment, then gave a soft "hmm".

"Get it up and eat." Gu Zezhi urged, picked up the wooden shovel next to it and stretched it into the pot, but Wan Liang blocked it.

"This mooncake...don't be boring anymore...it's delicious." Wan Liang faltered, blocking the mooncake with her body.

"It's been boring for a long time, didn't all the oil run into it?" Gu Ze questioned, and the shovel reached into the pot again.

"I'll do it." Wan Liang hurriedly grabbed the shovel, and lightly touched the little mooncake.

Gu Zezhi was dumbfounded by her, and said angrily: "I haven't seen such a shoveling method like you! Just say, you don't want to feed me or what?"

"I didn't..." Wan Liang muttered, shoveling up the mooncake as if she had no choice.Gu Zezhi picked up a porcelain plate and waited for Wanliang to put the mooncakes in, but Wanliang held up the shovel and didn't intend to put it in for a long time.

"Wanliang," Gu Zezhi urged, "Why do you seem to have lost your soul today, put it in quickly!"

"Oh." Wanliang moved the shovel very slowly, and finally put it in.

Gu Zezhi raised the corner of her mouth and picked up the mooncake with chopsticks.She was just about to put it in her mouth, but Wan Liang snatched her away.Gu Zezhi stared blankly at the mooncake in Wanliang's hand, wondering, "Wanliang, what's wrong today? You look like a child."

"Mooncakes should be cold and hot." Wan Liang smiled and put down the mooncake in her hand.

"It's not hot anymore," Gu Zezhi stretched out the chopsticks, "It's been left for a long time."

"Hey, hey——" Wanliang quickly raised her hand to compete with her, "Don't eat it, let me eat it, give it to me."

"Wanliang, I've finally figured it out, you're just trying to make me happy!" Gu Zezhi angrily put down the shovel, raised his hand to fight with Wanliang, "Then I'm going to make a deal!"

Wanliang saw that she really didn't intend to give up, and knew that it would be difficult to snatch her away, so she stuffed the whole piece of mooncake into her mouth regardless.

"You..." Gu Zezhi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, embraced Wanliang from the back, buried her head on her shoulder, shaking violently, "Idiot, are you so greedy? You know You really want to eat, how can I snatch it from you!"

Wan Liang stood stiffly, her face blushing, she chewed the piece of paper in her mouth with difficulty, and then swallowed it.

Gu Zezhi laughed for a long time before raising his head from Wanliang's back.She calmed down for a moment, then rested her chin on Wanliang's shoulder, and said, "Sometimes Wanliang is really like a child."

Wan Liang listened to the voice in her ear, and the bones in her shoulder sockets also vibrated slightly with the voice.She stood still and sighed softly.

If I can really act like a child at this time, the situation should be much better.Ask this person, "I like you, don't get married, okay?" Whether it's good or bad, you have settled down.It's a pity that time doesn't flow in vain, and the two ends of the mouse's head have already become a habit.Is it sad?It's somewhat gratifying, at least this relationship still has a few more days to linger.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Zezhi never felt that there was anything special about today, she was still laughing and staying beside Wan Liang.

The sun is setting on the West Mountain, and the moon is on the Dongjiang River.

Gu Huairen called someone to tell Gu Zezhi to prepare to enter the palace for a banquet.She responded with a smile, picked out the dress embroidered with marigolds from the closet, asked Xia Shen to comb her a double-knife bun, and put a white jade gilt peony hair on the bun.

After Gu Zezhi finished combing, she turned back to look for Wanliang, held her hand apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, I can't accompany you this year's Mid-Autumn Festival."

Wan shook her head with a sneer, looked at the beautiful make-up of the person in front of her, and said to her, "You...you look very well dressed today. They must all like you very much when they see you."

Gu Zezhi just smiled, then waved to her.The carriage galloped away in the golden August wind.

Wanliang stood at the wind for a while, the evening wind made her shiver, but the sweetness of osmanthus could keep her going for a while.

The phoenix does not fly, and I perish.

Thousands of words can't be said, and even those eight small characters are swallowed with pie.Wan Liang thought, after today, maybe she can live a dreamlike life for a few days, and then everything should come to an end.

But who can I blame?

It's me who is greedy but looking forward, it's me who longs but hesitates.

Chapter Nineteen

The light and shadow of the setting sun drifted, and half of the sky was so magnificent that it seemed to be on fire.

The father and daughter walked in the quiet path in the palace, relatively silent.After being silent for a long time, Gu Zezhi said: "Father will not go on the crowded road, I guess I have something to tell my daughter."

Gu Huairen sighed, and said: "Among the children of the Gu family, you have been the smartest since childhood, and you are still the same when you grow up."

Gu Zezhi pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer.Gu Huairen continued: "When you go to the banquet tonight, you know what's going on when you think about it. The eldest princess will take care of your life's major events, so you won't suffer."

"My daughter will naturally obey the arrangement of the eldest princess." Gu Zezhi replied obediently, her words were indifferent, and she could not hear any emotions.

"You..." Gu Huairen hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips, and said in a soft voice, "Father also found a good candidate for you, it is your Uncle Du's son, Du Qianyi, who is among the officials and eunuchs. Inside, it can be regarded as outstanding. When the time comes, you should pay more attention to it."

"Du Qianyi? He threatened earlier that he would marry the third miss of the Gu family," Gu Zezhi suddenly stopped walking, raised his head and looked at Gu Huairen with a smile, "It's a pity that this
