The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

On the head of willow branches on the moon, people make an appointment after dusk.

Qi Qian and Jia Huan sat opposite each other in front of a big table full of delicacies.

Jia Huan looked at the dishes curiously, and said, "Actually, it's similar to the food at my home, except that it has more varieties and is more delicate."

After not seeing Huan'er for more than ten days, Qi Qian was in a good mood and talked more, and said with a smile: "What do you want to see are those court dishes? The royal chefs even fry shredded pork, and they have to spell out some blessings. Words such as ah come out. But, to tell you the truth, the palace dishes are good-looking, and the materials are good. So many concubines have separate dishes. A meal consists of twenty or thirty dishes, and the servants below them also have to eat. How can the imperial dining room be so busy? No matter how good the ingredients are, they can only be big. The pot is warm and simmered slowly. It’s okay to eat once, but if you eat too much, you will get tired. My father and some respectable concubines in the palace have dedicated small kitchens to make them separately, not focusing on materials but on taste. I was When I lived in the palace, although there was no small kitchen, my father loved me, and every time he would ask his own small kitchen to cook me a few delicate dishes."

"There are also today," Qi Qian said again: "Today, there are five dishes that my father ordered people to send to give food. Let me test you and see which five dishes you can recognize?"

Jia Huan said with admiration: "It is strange to say that the emperor favors the younger son, which is indeed true."

Jia Huan pointed to a colorful dish on the table and said, "Is this it?"

Qi Qian glanced at it and said: "This is colorful diced meat, which is made of diced pork belly, chestnuts, jujubes, West Lake lotus seeds, etc. It is the homemade dish of the chef of the Qin Palace. The diced meat is first steamed and then fried, and finally simmered with spices, it is fat but not greasy, and will not make you fat. Come, try it." Said, Qi Qian gave it to him with a pure gold spoon inlaid with sapphire. Jia Huan scooped some into the bowl.

Jia Huan saw a simple earthen jar in the shape of a purple clay pot, stuffed with colorful food, all hung with glistening gorgon sauce, and said with a smile: "Is this the Buddha jumping over the wall? This must be the craftsmanship of the royal chef. Already!"

Qi Qian smiled and said, "Only the royal chef can do it. Don't the chefs in my palace have any skills?"

Jia Huan made a few guesses but failed to get it right, so he said angrily, "No more guesses! I can't tell the difference!"

Qi Qian then told Jia Huan, "You only guessed half right. The dishes eaten by the emperor are not just simple bird's nest and shark's fin, or just some auspicious toppings. They are really rare treasures in the world. Let's take this dish for example. , This is called braised bear paw with crucian carp tongue. Bear paws are easy to get, fish tongue is easier to get, but crucian carp tongue is not easy to get, because only crucian carp in Jingbo Lake, Mudanjiang have tongues. Well, it can only be the ninety-five king Only then can we gather the material resources of the world, and my Qin Palace is beyond our power."

Jia Huan was stunned, so he smiled and said, "But haven't you eaten yet? Your father really loves you, he is such a big son, and he doesn't live together, and he is afraid that you will be hungry, so he will send someone away." Bring it to eat with you."

Qi Qian said: "That's not the case. As a living person, I can't go hungry. This food gift is actually a sign of grace. Who still lacks this bite? It's just decent."

Qi Qian pointed to several other dishes and told Jia Huan: "This one is called 'Mingyue Zhao Jinfeng', which is made of the eyes of sika deer; Flammulina velutipes'."

Jia Huan said: "Stop! Stop! Stop! Isn't this Flammulina velutipes? You're kidding me. I eat this often. It's just a home-cooked dish. How could it become a palace treasure?"

Qi Qian showed surprise and said, "Do you often eat this dish? Can't you? This kind of mushroom usually grows near the gold mine. There is a saying that if you find the golden needle mill, you will find the entrance of the gold mine." , that’s why it’s called the Golden Needle Mill, and it’s very precious.”

Jia Huan's forehead was sweating immediately. He used to eat Flammulina velutipes a lot in later generations, so he thought Flammulina velutipes was a common dish.Do you dare to say that modern Flammulina velutipes are all artificially cultivated?The real wild Flammulina velutipes has the effect of marking gold mines, it is precious, it must be precious.

Jia Huan hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Stop talking too much, let's eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Jia Huan was not interested in those treasures bestowed by the emperor, such as crucian carp tongue, deer eyes and bear palms, which made people panic when they heard it, but he still prefers to eat meat. There is a steamed mutton dish on the table, which still uses milk, chicken soup and monkey head Mushrooms were steamed, the meat was tender and the soup was fresh, and Jia Huan asked Jia Huan to feast on it. He ate both meat and soup, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I only ate a few bites of the food at home when I thought about it. Otherwise, looking at these I can't eat any good food." Qi Qian glanced at him a few times, but didn't say anything.

Jia Huan thought he had guessed what he was going to say, so he said it first: "It's not that I don't want to come and have dinner with you earlier. However, if I go out without dinner, my family will take it seriously." Ask, be sure to ask me where I am going, what kind of guests will I meet, etc. After dinner and then going out, just tell the maid in my room to keep the door open at night, it will not alarm people. "

Qi Qian nodded, finally couldn't help it anymore, and said, "You should eat less of that mutton, it's made of unborn lambs, it's very nourishing."

Jia Huan's chopsticks stopped suddenly, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? I've eaten so much!"

Qi Qian said helplessly: "Don't you usually try every dish? Who knew you would only stare at that dish."

Jia Huan said angrily, "I won't eat! I won't eat with you anymore, I'll just eat weird things!"

After dinner, I went to see the baby.

I haven't seen him for more than ten days, and the baby has grown again, and his chubby little face is bulging, poking a nest.Jia Huan usually teased his younger siblings a lot, so he naturally knew how to make the baby happy, rubbing and hugging, making the baby giggle.

Qi Qian came over and pulled Jia Huan away, saying: "That's all right, all right, don't make him laugh hard, or you'll be too excited at night and won't be able to sleep well."

Jia Huan stuck out his tongue and said, "If you can't sleep well, you can't sleep well. Anyway, children sleep during the day and sleep at night. Day and night are reversed."

Qi Qian said disapprovingly: "The mothers say that children can only grow up if they sleep well at night, otherwise they will not grow up if they are thin and small."

Jia Huan said: "Scholars will treat each other with admiration for three days. You are very experienced as a father now."

Jia Huan suddenly turned his eyes and saw a gold collar on the side of the chest of drawers, which was similar to the style seen in Qi Pei's carriage during the day, so he asked: "Is that from Qi Pei? Hey, didn't he say you don't want to wear it?" Are you at home?"

Qi Qian said inexplicably: "I'm at home, I haven't been out all day. But, how do you know it was sent by Qi Pei?"

Jia Huan said, "Because he came to see me today, he said it himself."

"Qi Pei came to my house today and said he came to play with me..." Looking at Qi Qian's gloomy face, Jia Huan shrugged and said, "Don't look at me! You can't blame me. The emperor's eldest grandson is here, you didn't see my house The battle up and down? At least when I stood on the street for four or five sticks of incense, I saw his chariot coming over after eating a mouthful of yellow sand. He was so majestic, I didn’t want to receive him. No way, why not be stabbed to death by my grandmother?"

Qi Qian was quite displeased, thinking, I haven't been in Huan'er's house, Huan'er's house, what does this kid want?It's annoying.

Qi Qian said in a deep voice: "I will tell him another day, and tell him not to go to the Duke's mansion and disturb the ministers."

Jia Huan said: "The point is not this! The point is why he lied to me? He obviously came to you first and then went to me, but he said that he came today and you are not at home, but he will come tomorrow."

Qi Qian thought for a while, and said: "I was taking a nap with my baby when he came today, and I was too lazy to get up, so I just asked someone to send him away. Anyway, he was here to deliver things. If you leave things, people will go away." Bar."

Comparing Jia Huan and Qi Qian, he found that Qi Pei was doing something very strange. He had clearly been to the Qin Palace, but he told Jia Huan that he hadn’t come, and the empress dowager gave the baby a golden collar that was five or six One, but he only took one for Qi Qian.

Jia Huan said to himself: "Could it be that he embezzled the baby's gold collar, but I saw it by chance, so he lied?"

Qi Qian said: "No way? The gold collar is worth nothing, but the gems inlaid on the collar are all priceless, and there are records in the palace, and it was given by the Queen Mother himself. He doesn't have the guts to embezzle it."

Jia Huan couldn't figure it out, looked at Qi Qian with a frown, and said: "Then why didn't he give it to you once, so that he could entrust the Queen Mother's errand, and why did he have to run a few times?"

Qi Qian said: "Who knows? He has a lot of eyes, so I don't bother to guess what he thinks."

However, Qi Pei's behavior today was too weird, and the last kiss was too weird, Jia Huan couldn't help thinking about it.

It is said that a common trick for women to pursue a man is to ask him to borrow books, because if there is a loan, it will be returned, and it will be an excuse to meet twice, and then when returning the book, the woman can say that this book is too good for me Is there any similar book to borrow?So I scheduled another meeting for the next round. How could this be similar to the number of gold collars that Qi Pei gave away? Jia Huan couldn't help but said to himself: "Could it be that he just likes to run a few more times, in order to... ...see you? I'll go, Qi Qian, you're so beastly, you're having an affair with your nephew!"

Qi Qian suddenly had black lines on his face, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of ambiguity do I have with him? I didn't like him since I was a child, and I don't even bother to say a word to him."

Jia Huan also thought of Qi Pei's last blow to him, and thought it was unreasonable. If Qi Pei liked Qi Qian, could he still seduce me?That's too limitless.

Thinking of that kiss, Jia Huan touched his lips, and suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling of being pushed by a pig, so he suddenly stretched out his hand to hook Qi Qian's neck, and kissed him.

Qi Qian's heart skipped a beat, this is the first time Huan'er has kissed me on her own initiative, how can she live up to such a warm invitation?He immediately kissed back.

Jia Huan just came up with an idea, and wanted to use this guy's mouth to clean his mouth to drive away the psychological discomfort of being kissed by Qi Pei. Who knew that he would not be able to get rid of it, Qi Qian's arms tightly wrapped around Jia Huan Tongue inserted into Jia Huan's mouth, hooking his tongue, caressing his mouth, sucking his body fluid, and rubbing and lingering from different angles...

In the strong embrace and eager entanglement of tongue and lips, Jia Huan felt as if a fire was ignited deep in his body, burning all the way, scorching his young and immature body trembling uncontrollably, pushing him away a little bit with all his strength. Qi Qian gasped and said, "Didn't you give me some medicine?"

Qi Qian also felt the change in Jia Huan's body. He lowered his head and pressed it against Jia Huan's forehead. The heat from his mouth hit Jia Huan's face, and said with a smile, "If I really want it, Huan'er, you can resist it." Is it? Haha, you are the one who ate too much lamb meat, and you are getting fat!"

Jia Huan's face was so red that the sky was full of red clouds, his eyes drooped, and he looked at a loss.

Qi Qian made a decisive decision and said, "Let's stop poisoning the baby's ears here, let's go and change places."
