No disaster

Zhaozhou is located in Yanzhao, six thousand miles away from the capital of Nanzhang King.The snowflake pear, crispy and juicy, sweet and moist, is extremely fragile, even if it is sealed in beeswax ice for preservation, it can only guarantee that it will still have the fresh fruit flavor within half a month.

Half a month, six thousand miles, and six hundred miles a day, if there is no strong horse, I am afraid it will be difficult.He does have such a strong horse that can run thousands of miles a day, but that horse is raised in Jingyun Pavilion, and now he is in Zhaozhou, so he can't catch him...

At the end of July and the beginning of August, after the three-volt fight and the autumn tiger, it can be regarded as earning a little coolness.Zhaozhou snow pears are about to produce the first batch of fruits.The first batch of good fruits had to be paid as tribute, and they were to be presented at the moon-appreciating banquet in the palace in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's no surprise that he prepared a beeswax sheepskin bag, and even inquired about the ice cellar along the way when he came, but when the matter came to an end, he realized that he still lacked a good horse.

The money earned along the way is only 30 to [-] taels of silver, and the purchase of ice along the way costs seven to seventy-eight eighty-eight, so how can I buy a good horse?

Wu Wu Wang has already spent several days in Zhaozhou, and the days are busy, looking at the snow pears that are about to be picked, worrying about how to get a horse.I also thought about going to the racecourse to steal one, but there are no good horses in the nearby racecourses, so stealing it is useless.

Shu Wuwang squatted at the gate of the pear garden, eating steamed buns, looking enviously at the white fruit on the tree.

"The horse was shocked, the horse was shocked, it hurt people! It hurt people!"

Suddenly several fruit growers stumbled out of the pear orchard.Shu Wuwang grabbed one of them and asked what happened.

The fruit farmer stammered a few words.It is said that a wild horse came into the garden and bit the fruit, and they beat it with stones to drive it away, but unexpectedly aroused the wildness of the horse and kicked someone.

Unexpectedly, thinking that the wild horse might be of great use, he entered the pear garden eager to train the horse.

When he entered the garden and found the horse, he immediately recognized the horse as his big li.

Shu Wuwang led the horse out of the pear garden, thinking about Shangguanlan, his thoughts were indeed so meticulous that he was afraid of others.

The fruit farmer in the pear orchard was very happy to see him taming the fierce horse, and gave him a basket of pears. Hearing that Shuwuwang wanted to ride away, he pooled money to buy a saddle for him.

But Wu Wu picked the best pear, soaked it in beeswax with the method taught by the fruit farmer, wrapped it in a sheepskin bag, made a bag out of cashmere, and kept it cold in the bag, lest the pear would be spoiled.

If they acted quickly, they should be able to send this pear to Nanzhang Wangdu before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In fact, Nanzhang... does not have this custom of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.It just so happens that the rainy season is coming to an end, and Nanzhang called the rainy season "Lashi". During the rainy season, the temple is closed to welcome visitors, and the monks devote themselves to practicing in the temple.

At the end of the rainy season, Nanzhang will usher in the annual Chula Festival.At that time, the temple reopens to welcome guests, and the whole country celebrates. During this festival, the royal family also arranges ceremonies, arranges accounts, rides elephants to receive worship from the people, and pays homage to the Buddha in the national temple.

At this point, it's time to prepare for the La Festival.

It has been more than four months since Su He left Nanzhang, so counting, the days are really too fast, half a year has passed like this.He himself has been under house arrest so far. Although the news has been suppressed, how can he hide any news from Chaoli... His son-in-law has also returned to prepare for the Latsum Festival. If the father really wants to do something, he will soon Is it time to start?

Can wait until today, is Su He innocent?Or... the father still hasn't confirmed his innocence?

The assistant prince looked up at the moon, although the moon was round, it was finally covered by a thin layer of gray clouds.Looking at the color, it is extremely dull and unpleasant.It looks like there will be a lot of rain tomorrow.

"Your Highness."

The slow voice is very close, as if in the ear.

"Su... Su He?"

The assistant prince turned his head to look for it, and saw Su He holding on to the door frame, his temples were full of dust and dust, his face was tired, but his eyes were clear and smiling.

"You... why did you come back?"

Father's dark whistle is still chasing you?How did you come back?

Not knowing what the Prince Assistant was thinking, he just smiled, took a step forward, and took out the things that had been hidden in his bosom for a long time, as if he had pulled out a fiery heart.

"Snowflake pear. It's better than sour pear. I want to bring it to His Highness to taste."

The assistant prince looked down at Su He as he opened the sheepskin pouch and took out the wax-sealed bamboo tube soaked in ice water.As soon as the bamboo tube was taken out, the warm air immediately created a layer of fine water droplets.

He stretched out his fingertips and scratched the top of the bamboo tube, grasping the cold touch of the water droplets into his palm.

"You came all the way here just to deliver pears?"

"I wanted to bring another crane to show His Highness, but I'm afraid the snow pear will be broken on the road and I won't have the time to look for it."

Su He lowered his head and looked at the sheepskin pouch in his hand, he didn't understand why he had such an idea, he wanted to bring snow pears for him to taste, he wanted to bring cranes for him to see, and he also wanted to see his smiling face appearance.

The assistant prince didn't know much about Zhongtu, but seeing Su He's exhaustion, he knew that the snow pear was sent from a long way away.The assistant prince felt that the pear was not easy to come by, so he was reluctant to eat it, but Su He would be in vain if he refused to eat it. After hesitating for a long time, he hid his reddish cheeks and said, "Then you... come and cut it for me. Pear it." Saying that, he took Su He's sleeve and carried it to the bedroom.

Su He had already noticed that someone should be watching closely in the womb of the Assistant Prince, but when he came in, no one stopped him. He was not sure what happened to Nanzhang after he left, and he was also not sure what these people were watching. What is the purpose of the person who assists the prince.

He felt uneasy, and even suspected that Nanzhang already knew his identity and was just waiting for him to enter the urn.

But all kinds of doubts only made him stop for a while.

The layout of the sleeping hall has not been greatly changed, the assistant prince led him to the case, sat down cross-legged after arriving at the case, and handed the knife in the old box to Su He.

Zhu Wuwang opened the sheepskin pouch, poured the ice water into the copper basin, took out the bamboo tube filled with beeswax, and took the pears.

Looking at the color of the pear, it is not much different from when it was just picked, but in Shu Wuwang's mind, he doesn't know whether the taste is the same as usual.

The blade circled around the snow-white peel, and the sweet juice dripped down the blade.

Shuwuwang smoothly sliced ​​and divided the pears, and after cutting, he put the knife to his lips and tasted the juice.After confirming that the fruit was still fresh, he passed the plate containing the pear meat to the table.

"It's still fresh, please try it, Your Highness."

As expected, when he lowered his head to peel the pears, the assistant prince bit his lip and looked at him seriously, the joy that could not be concealed in the corners of his mouth and eyes, one could tell from his expression that he was jumping for joy.

The assistant prince saw that Shu Wuwang looked up, afraid of losing his mind, he quickly restrained the smile on his mouth, but he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

Shu Wuwang looked up and saw clearly the faintly bright eyes of the assistant prince, smiled unconsciously, and gently put the plate in front of him, "Please, Your Highness."

The assistant prince picked a piece and ate it until his cheeks bulged slightly.The crisp and sweet pear brightened his eyes.

"This pear is good! Where did you pick it?"

Seeing that he likes it, he is also happy, so he has a bit of a thought of asking for credit and offering treasures, and said: "In the Central Plains."

"The pears I ate before were also from Zhongyuan. Why is it not as good as this?"

"Even if it's a pear, there are many varieties. This is a snowflake pear. Before, His Highness ate sour pears, which have a different flavor."

The assistant prince nodded thoughtfully, and said, "No wonder my father is envious of the vastness of the Central Plains."

"There are many fruits produced in Nanzhang, which are not found in the Central Plains."

Hearing this sentence, the assistant prince seemed to be a little happier.There was only that one pear, and it was eaten in a few bites.

The assistant prince pushed the plate forward, and looked up to see nothing wrong.

It was probably because the assistant prince's gaze was too soft, but Wuwang was not sure how to deal with it for a while.

There was silence for a while, only the candle flames on the candlesticks on the table flickered and flickered.

"Su He."

"Your Highness."

The two spoke out together, and silently together.

After waiting in vain for a while, seeing that the assistant prince did not speak any more, he could only ask himself: "What does Your Highness want to say?"

The Assistant Prince wanted to ask him to spend the Latsum Festival with him.It's just that when he asked such a question, he felt embarrassed to speak, so he bit his lip and swallowed the words back, "What do you want to say?"

Shu Wuwang curled his fingertips into his sleeves, hesitated, finally leaned forward a little, and asked: "Your Highness saved my life before, it was a desperate move, and then let me go back to the Central Plains, did you ever attract suspicion?" He had seen the pros and cons clearly for a long time, so he obviously didn't need to ask, but he still couldn't help asking.

"No, I have a way to turn things around." After all, the assistant prince did not fully reveal the current situation.

In the deep night, the sound of knocking on the door came to my ears.

The assistant prince was so frightened that he trembled all over, and then he calmed down, and asked who it was in Nanzhang language.

But what the outsiders spoke was indeed Chinese.It's just that he said it bluntly, obviously just learning the tongue.

"Mr. Su, please come and talk."

The assistant prince was stunned, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Su He's hand tightly, his face turned pale.

"This is the father calling you."
