After I wear the book, I use the food to attract the attention of the big guys

Fragments of sunlight pass through the window lattice and sprinkle on the white filaments.

A lot of shredded pears have been piled up on the porcelain plate, which looks like fine snow from a distance, but some edges have begun to oxidize, turning light brown.Seeing this, Xie Niannian accelerated the speed of shredding.

The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of pears, and there is the sound of "swiping" cutting fruits with kitchen knives.

Autumn has been here for a long time, the air is dry, and the wind is a bit colder.

Fie Ying, who reads every morning, has an itchy throat recently, coughs from time to time, and even Chi Qing's voice is a little hoarse.

So Xie Niannian decided to boil some autumn pear paste to clear the lungs and moisten the throat.

The sweet "snowdrift" is put into a casserole and boiled with Chuanbei, honey, ginger slices, etc.

The formula was obtained by Xie Niannian from an old Chinese doctor when he was not yet ready to wear the book.

The ancestor of Chinese medicine is said to be an imperial doctor. This formula has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the effect is good and the taste is good.

The filtered pear juice started to become viscous, Xie Niannian tasted it with a spoon.

Soft and sweet, like the kiss that night.

When Chi Qing approached, she didn't actually react until her lips felt cold—as if she had kissed a soft flower.

Everything is silent, except for my own heartbeat.

The undecomposed alcohol dyed her face bright red, like a thin sheet of paper, without a fire, just a slow glance could make her spontaneously ignite.

In the end, I don't know how I walked back to the room.

Tsk.Unable to think about it anymore, Xie Niannian patted his face, took a deep breath, and somehow suppressed the little deer that started to poke in his heart.

Put the finished autumn pear paste into porcelain jars and put them in a cool place.Then he started kneading the dough again, preparing to make some pastries and send them to Zhou Ci's temporary residence.

Chi Qing told her that tomorrow was the Royal Autumn Hunt and he wanted to take her there.

Xie Niannian calculated the time, and it happened to be the time when Zhou Ci came back from visiting friends.

She originally wanted to ask about Chi Qing's identity, but there was an accident on the way, so she didn't need it anymore.

But the invitation has already been handed in, Xie Niannian simply made some pastries and sent them as an explanation.

Well, you can also add a can of autumn pear paste.

As soon as this side was finished, Xie Niannian was packing boxes, when two figures, one tall and one short, walked over there.

Die Ying was expressionless, and even a little impatient. Of course, this emotion was not directed at Xie Niannian, but the white boredom chattering beside her.

"I said, persuade your master. I'm going out to play, and I have to answer." Before the person approached, the voice was heard first.

Douying immediately retorted: "It's not going out to play!"

Seeing that the child's face was dark, Xie Niannian smiled, it was always like this when the two of them stayed together.

The specific manifestation is that Bai Yan keeps talking, while Duoying keeps his head down and does things, and doesn't want to talk to him at all.

Xie Niannian was a little curious: "Why did you come back so early today?"

"Come back to get something and send it to Tianshu Division." Duoying replied.

When she came over, Xie Niannian handed her a jar of Qiuli Cream: "By the way, take this too, drink it in water, it's good for your throat."

Carefully holding the porcelain jar, Die Ying raised her head and showed a cute and shy smile, completely different from Fang Cai.

Bai Yan, who witnessed the act of changing faces by the overlapping shadows, was deeply speechless, and secretly slandered that this child had the same double standards as her master, so it can only be said that she is indeed a master and apprentice.

"Long time no see, lady boss."

Bai Yan also smiled and said hello, but his eyes fell on the neatly arranged snacks on the table: "Who is this for?"

Realizing that he was interested in pastries, Xie Niannian returned to the case very straightforwardly: "Want to eat? There are still some ingredients left. If you are not in a hurry to leave, I can make some for you."

Before Bai Yan could answer, Die Ying frowned and glared at him: "Let's go? Master is still waiting."

"You go back first." Waving without hesitation, Bai Yan was obviously tempted by the sweet snacks.

Kneading noodles to make crisps, poking flat and kneading rounds, these things have been done thousands of times every year, and they are already extremely handy, and they can even be used at the same time.

The delicately shaped dim sum was gradually formed in the mold, and she was chatting with Bai Yan while making it.

"It was sent to Mr. Zhou. He helped me a lot in Xuanzhou."

"I wanted to ask him something, but I don't need it now. I'm leaving Fengjing tomorrow, so I can only make some pastries to express my gratitude." This was an answer to Bai Yan's question.

Eyes fixed on Xie Niannian's actions, Bai Yan's mind was not idle, he went through the people in Xuanzhou who could be called "Master Zhou", and then used some simple methods of elimination.

Even if Xie Niannian didn't make it clear, he could still guess who it was.

"Zhou Ci?" The smile on his face changed, as if watching a good show: "You want to ask her about Chi Qing?"

Xie Niannian was too lazy to worry about how these people guessed it, and generously admitted: "Yes."

Then I thought about the special status of Tianshu Division in the imperial court, even Gu Chen, who was long-sleeved and good at dancing, didn't have much friendship with those dignitaries on the surface.

Patrolling, arresting and supervising officials, Tianshusi is the sword in the empress' hands, and the owner of the sword will naturally not let it be disobedient.

And if I casually associate with these people, will it cause Chi Qing trouble?Or inadvertently damage Tianshu Division's reputation?

She asked in a somewhat tangled voice, but she didn't expect Bai Yan to chuckle, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want. Even if you let the eldest son of Lin Shi's family be arrested and beaten up, there is no problem." of."

"Tianshu Division's reputation is not very good."

After speaking, he looked back a few times, as if to confirm whether the overlapping shadow had gone far.

Turning around and lowering her voice: "Your family, Chiqing, is the one with the worst reputation."

Xie Niannian is also clear that people in the court don't think highly of Tianshusi.At the beginning, she also thought that this was a department that was defiant and deceived.

Once Chi Qing became the director, Xie Niannian began to feel that the people in Tianshu Division were diligent and down-to-earth with the blessing of ten layers of filters.

Xie Niannian doesn't like to hear Bai Yan say that Chi Qing has a bad reputation.She paused, and there was less frosting.

"why?"

Putting the prepared snacks in front of Bai Yan, Xie Niannian wanted to complain for Chi Qing.

She is obviously super good!Do things seriously and responsibly, and will not abuse force, like ice and snow glutinous rice cakes, which seem cold and unkind, but in fact, you can taste the soft and sweet interior when it is warmed up.

Bai Yan picked up a small piece of pastry, stuffed it into his mouth, and said somewhat vaguely: "Your Majesty was still young when he took the throne, and someone planned a palace change to tamper with the will."

Xie Niannian frowned. She also knew about this coup. It was mentioned in the book that Zhao Zhuoqu was a benevolent monarch who loved the people like a son, and an emperor who rose to power with blood and swords. for three days without washing.

"The person who did the work was killed by Chi Qing as soon as he showed his face." He skipped over the specific content of the palace change: "Later, His Majesty took charge, and we were very busy in those few days."

It's not mentioned in this book.But it is also reasonable to think about it. Although Zhao Zhuoqu is the emperor's dowager, the former emperor has more than enough protection and insufficient deterrence.

She has come to this point, she must have her own forces to support her.

Thinking of this, Xie Niannian's heart skipped a beat, and his brain began to refuse to think.

But Bai Yan wasn't finished yet.

"Chi Qing oil and salt do not enter, blocking the way of some people. Of course, we must find a way to get rid of it. Poisoning is all used up, and there is nothing new."

"She has a lot of life, and she can't be killed. If she is caught, she must be dealt with according to the law. Over time, these people will be afraid of her."

Bai Yan spoke briskly, like a storyteller in a teahouse.

But Xie Niannian has already started to feel bored. There are only a few words in the book about these things, and it only takes a while to read them.How can anyone imagine how difficult it is unless they have personally experienced it.

Unaware of Xie Niannian's silence, Bai Yan ate another piece of dessert, and this time he swallowed it down before continuing.

"If you really went to ask Zhou Ci, you would probably see him jumping up on the spot and scolding Chi Qing for a quarter of an hour."

The memory came back, and Xie Niannian suddenly remembered the sentence he said on the stage when he had a banquet with Zhou Ci, "I once scolded her for not doing things well, but she still looked indifferent."

At that time, she thought Zhou Ci was talking about Gu Chen, but she didn't expect it to be Chi Qing?

"Why is this again?"

After eating Xie Niannian's pastries, Bai Yan answered conscientiously, without any impatience: "Later we found out that the palace change was planned by the virtuous king and the former prince."

He stopped eating, and there was rarely an expression on his face other than a smile, as if he was sobbing: "Let's not talk about the virtuous king, the Taifu is Your Majesty's benefactor."

"I can't escape a partiality when I'm old, and I helped people who shouldn't be helped."

"He is a great Confucianist in the dynasty, and many officials in the court are his disciples. If this matter is leaked out, it will involve too much and it will be difficult to deal with it. It is also in the name of his loyalty to give a three-foot white silk and announce his death to the outside world. "

"Unexpectedly, Zhou Ci heard the rumors from nowhere. He felt that Taifu's death was caused by lateness, so he began to scold him every day."

Xie Niannian was silent for a moment before muttering: "Why didn't you explain?"

Her ending is very light, like a feather floating in the sky.

Bai Yan looked at Xie Niannian who had begun to curl his lips with a smile that was not a smile: "Chi Qing and Gu Chen used to be His Majesty's companions. You must know that Tai Tuo is not only His Majesty's teacher, but also Chi Qing's teacher."

After finishing speaking, he ate the last piece of pastry, stretched himself, got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xie Niannian: "Why are you telling me this?"

"No other meaning." Bai Yan looked against the light, tilted his head, his eyes were slightly upturned, more like a smiling fox.

"If you hold her a little longer, we can relax a little bit, so that we won't be ordered around by her all day long, and we won't have time to play."

Like a veil of sunlight, it curls down.

Those dust particles are floating and flying in Xie Niannian's eyes, like a lost bird, they will never settle down.

After Bai Yan left, she was still standing in front of the case in a daze, her mind was not clear, and she began to think wildly uncontrollably.

Did Chi Qing ever have a share of the blood that flowed under the jade steps?

Did she ever think about herself when she confronted those treacherous power officials with a knife?

After finding out that the person behind the scenes is actually your mentor, will you find it ridiculous or sad?

Years later, when relatives and friends have passed away, when the weeds are deep in Chi's house, and the night is heavy with dew, will she open the "Book of Poetry" that she has scribbled on, and recall her past?

"Slap."

A drop of water distilled away the unused powdered sugar on the case.

Xie Niannian picked up some candy and tasted it, but he almost couldn't help crying.too bitter.

How can there be such a bitter ice and snow glutinous rice cake?

The empress firmly secured the throne, and under her rule, Da Yue was peaceful and peaceful, and all nations came to court.

The Taifu has kept his reputation, but now when he is mentioned, he still sighs that he is knowledgeable about the past and the present, and he has a high moral integrity.

Everything is just right, except Chi Qing.

She occupies a high position, and there are three thousand guests in the hall. There are many slanderers, many people who are afraid, many people who intend to cling to her, and many people who wish to die.

But who would love to thank the moon every year.
