After the salted fish is married

Put your heart on one's stomach

The chestnuts in the cloth bag were roasted just right, and Aunt Zhang made a cross cut on the skin of the chestnuts.After roasting, the chestnut skin near the flower knife is turned outward to reveal the golden inside.With a light flick from the flower knife, the whole chestnut kernel rolled out of the shell with warmth.

The aroma of chestnuts filled the entire compartment.Looking at the shiny chestnuts, Yan Xining felt very uncomfortable: "Aunt Zhang treats us as her children." Aunt Zhang's motherly heart was hidden in the chestnuts, which made Yan Xining dare not touch.

Ji Song stared at the side of the mountain road. After Lao Zhang left, he maintained this posture. After pondering for a long time, he said slowly: "A-Ning, I have something to tell you."

Yan Xining was stunned for a moment, and then he sat up straight: "Well, tell me." Ji Song rarely spoke to him in this tone, and based on his intuition, he felt that what Ji Song was going to say next was very important.

Ji Song took a deep breath, his eyes were painful and tangled: "Before my legs were broken, I really wanted that position."

Yan Xining nodded knowingly: "This is normal, as a prince, he must have thoughts about the throne."

What's more, Ji Song's brothers are not good birds. If Ji Song doesn't fight, he might lose his life.Besides, the road to seizing the heir apparent is already difficult. Didn't the mild-mannered Emperor Pingyuan use secret tricks to get to the throne?Winners and losers have always been like this since ancient times.

Ji Song turned his head slowly, and looked seriously into Yan Xining's eyes: "You may not believe me, but I never thought of this before I joined the Chi Ling Army. I just want to earn some military merit, be a good general, and defend I, Chu and Liao, have great rivers and mountains."

Back then when he was put on a table, everyone thought he liked men.As a prince, he already has flaws in his virtues.Emperor Pingyuan stuffed him into the Chiling Army, just hoping that he could earn some military merits, and that he would have something close to him when he returned to the capital in the future.

However, when he arrived in Liangzhou and joined the Chiling Army, he saw too many tragedies.Gradually, he, who didn't have much desire for power, developed a desire for the throne.He wants to stand at the top so that he can do something for his people so that they can live and work in peace.

Ji Song brushed his hands over his knees, his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "The upward road is difficult, and the higher you go, the more enemies you will have..."

He tried, with disastrous consequences.Even so, he didn't change his mind, he still wanted to stand higher and do more for the people.

However, today in the courtyard of Lao Zhang's house, he suddenly wavered. He felt that it would be nice to live a clean life with Ah Ning.And he also made a promise to Aning, he said that when the matter is over, they can be like Lao Zhang and the others.

However, smelling the scent of chestnuts in the carriage, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Can he really not fight? !He had sworn to the sky that when he ascended to that position, he would become a wise king of a generation.He wants to let the people of Chu and Liao live and work in peace and contentment, so that the surrounding countries will not dare to invade...

But after the fight, can the future he promised to Aning be realized?

Ji Song thought that he was not a person who broke his promise, and at this moment his heart seemed to be roasted on fire.At this moment, he regretted it, regretted that he had allowed Aning to give him a future that he could not guarantee, which raised Aning's expectations that he might be disappointed.

Seeing the pain in Ji Song's eyes, Yan Xining felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle.He leaned out and leaned on Ji Song's shoulder: "I understand." Ji Song's legs were broken for no apparent reason because of this reason. Fortunately, things turned around, otherwise I don't know what he would have become .

Feeling the temperature from the back of his hand, Ji Song clasped Aning's ten fingers with his backhand.His eyes hurt: "No, you don't understand."

He had never talked to Aning about this before, and he vowed to give Aning a future.But as the situation became more and more chaotic, he no longer dared to think about the future.

The guards outside the carriage were talking in low voices, which could not be heard clearly through the carriage.The two leaned head to head, Ji Song gently played with Yan Xining's fingers, his voice was a little erratic: "A Ning, what I said to you earlier was sincere. I want to be with you forever, I want to be with you It’s also sincere to live a clean life. It’s just that I don’t fight for that position, but as long as I fight, it’s up to us how things develop.”

"Before I met you, I wanted to save my life anyway, and it was fine to fight boldly. But after I met you, I became greedy."

Ji Song said in a low voice: "If I don't fight, I'm not reconciled. If you win the fight, it's fine. If you lose, what should you do, Ah Ning? I... I suddenly feel that I am a hypocrite. I told you so much earlier. Pretty words, I used so many tricks on you to bring you to Liangzhou. But now, I can't give you a certain future."

Ji Song breathed a little harder, and his eyes were a little moist: "I regret it, why can't I control my feelings. If I knew this, maybe it would be better to give you and Li Shu in the capital, at least you don't have to be tied to me. Together. If I fail, you still have a chance..."

After hearing Ji Song say so much, Yan Xining was not anxious, but smiled optimistically: "Are you troubled by this kind of thing?"

Ji Song nodded slowly. He didn't dare to turn his head to look at Aning, so he could only sigh heavily: "Yes. I've become timid." Before, he never thought that one day his target would be Shaken by a man.

Yan Xining stretched out her index finger and tapped Ji Song's palm lightly: "Do you want to hear my opinion?"

Ji Song nodded slightly: "Yeah." After telling the truth to Aning, he felt extremely uneasy.

Yan Xining tilted his head and kissed Ji Song's cheek, Ji Song's eyes gradually opened wide, but before he could turn his head, Aning's head rested on his shoulder again.Ji Song didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing his concubine.

Yan Xining smiled softly: "Before accepting you, I asked myself a question. After I got the answer to this question, I felt calm."

Ji Song's heart trembled: "Which question?"

Yan Xining said: "If you become the emperor, how should I deal with myself? I'm a bit domineering and don't like to share my lover with others. I can't accept the thought of you having many concubines."

Ji Song's heart softened, and he said firmly, "There won't be many concubines, only you."

Yan Xining smiled and said: "You can't speak so full, people's hearts are fickle. Maybe our relationship is very good at this time, but as time goes by, you and I hate each other. At that time, you were the emperor on top, and we Just an ordinary person trapped in a palace. What am I going to do then?"

Sweat dripped from Ji Song's palms, and he frowned slightly.Sure enough, Aning didn't have confidence in him, did he not give him enough sense of security?

Yan Xining squeezed Ji Song's hand: "Later, I figured it out. My biggest wish in Chuliao is to be able to be a salted fish."

Ji Song looked confused: "Salted fish?" He had seen salted fish before, it was hard and smelled salty.Aning and salted fish are two completely unrelated species.How does Aning make salted fish?

Yan Xining explained: "Salted fish refers to people who don't have to do anything, just eat and lie flat. Like drying salted fish, no matter what the weather is outside, I will not move."

Ji Song: ...

Smelling the scent of incense on Ji Song's body, Yan Xining said unhurriedly: "If one day you become the emperor and I am rejected by you, at least you will give me a place to lie down. Just like Wenzhangyuan , I can grow vegetables and raise chickens, so there is no loss for me."

Ji Song opened his mouth, he found that what Aning said had happened before, and that Ah Ning was indeed at ease in Wenzhang Garden.Ji Song couldn't argue for a while, he didn't know what to say.

After a while, Ji Song said dryly: "The question you're thinking about is after I succeed in seizing the heir. What if I don't succeed? You may face death."

Yan Xining laughed even more happily: "Do you know why I'm thinking about us not being able to survive, rather than the matter of killing us?"

After thinking for a moment, Ji Song asked back: "Do you have confidence in me?"

Yan Xining said: "It is one thing to have confidence in you, and more importantly, my feelings after meeting you. When my mother was alive, she often told me that material things are easy to satisfy, but spiritual things are not easy to satisfy. Eat enough Dressing warmly is the most basic need of human beings, and on top of that, there are love, respect and self-realization."

"Although I didn't lack food and drink in my previous life, I didn't live very well. After my parents left, I never thought about personal matters, nor did I think about who I would be with... until I met you, You gave me a place to stay, and you gave me enough respect and love. With you, I am very happy every day. Thinking of having you by my side, I feel that no matter what I do, you will tolerate it unconditionally I."

"Just as you have fulfilled me, I also want to fulfill you. No matter what you want to do, just go ahead and do it. Do your best and obey the destiny. If you really fail to win the heir, I will go with you."

"Ji Rongchuan, I like you. Whether the road ahead is up the mountain of swords or down the sea of ​​fire, I will accompany you."

Ji Song's chest heaved violently, brilliant fireworks exploded in his mind, huge ecstasy flowed from his chest to every part of his body, his body seemed to be flying up to the clouds.He couldn't care about anything at the moment, he just wanted to hug his princess.

Yan Xining felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then his body was pushed down on the short floor.The wheelchair collided with Autao, and the hot chestnuts fell to the ground with crackling crackles.The overwhelming kisses fell on his face, and Ji Song's breath wrapped him tightly.

Ji Song was short of breath, and he looked deeply at Aning below him: "A-Ning, Aning, what do you want me to do?" He thought that he really loved Yan Xining so much. There are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, and he will go forward bravely.

Outside the col where Lao Zhang and the others live is a large paddy field, and the green rice fields are connected together, looking like a green carpet.From time to time, the sound of ducks could be heard in the paddy fields, but when one looked closely, one could only see the rice leaves shaking, but no ducks could be seen.

Yan Ke stopped the carriage, and he raised his voice: "Master, Princess, we are here."

After a while, Ji Song's voice came from the carriage: "Okay." Yan Ke scratched his chin suspiciously, was it his illusion?He felt that the master's tone was raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

The carriage stopped by the side of the road, Yan Xining would have jumped out of the carriage normally, but this time he did not come out after the curtain was lifted.He was shrinking on the bed doubting life, his lips were red and swollen, how could he see people?

But the instigator was still smiling happily, Yan Xining kicked and kicked: "How do you want me to meet people?"

Ji Song's smile deepened: "Then don't go out to meet people, I'll just go out." After a pause, he kissed Yan Xining on the cheek: "I'll be back soon."

The curtain moved slightly, and Ji Song's figure disappeared from his eyes.Yan Ke's questioning voice came from outside the car: "Where is the princess?"

Ji Song's voice gradually faded away: "The princess is dozing off, let him sleep and don't disturb him." Yan Ke looked at the princess who was stuck on the car window with only two eyes exposed, and then at the princess who opened her eyes and told lies. Master, he understands, these two have a little temper, right?

The guards quickly walked towards the depths of the farmland, and brought back three black and thin old farmers in a short while.The old farmer wore a wide-brimmed hat and held a long bamboo pole hung with rags in his hand.They are all duck chasers hired by the imperial court. During the few months when the rice is growing, they will drive large flocks of ducks across the fields of Liangzhou, following the places where the locusts have walked.

Of course, there were far more than three duck drivers, but they happened to be near the mountain road, so the guards brought them here.The duck driver saw that Ji Song was so nervous that he stumbled while speaking, but Ji Song just wanted to ask them a few simple questions.

As reported by the officials below, ducks were very effective in eradicating locusts.The ducks from Sizhou entered Liangzhou, and all the locusts they passed were swallowed by them.Locusts that haven't grown wings are natural food for ducks, and ducks like them very much.Therefore, after driving the ducks for several days, the ducks not only did not lose weight, but also gained a lot of weight.

In addition, there was an unexpected surprise. The first batch of ducks sent by the king of Chu were adult ducks. After eating the locusts, the ducks began to lay eggs.Tens of thousands of ducks can lay [-] to [-] eggs every day, and the duck chasers really don't know what to do with these eggs.

When Ji Song returned to the carriage, he had an extra bamboo basket in his hand.There was a basket full of green shell eggs in the bamboo basket, and he handed the bamboo basket to Yan Xining as soon as he got in the car: "A Ning, the duck has laid a lot of eggs, what do you think is the best way to deal with so many eggs?"

Yan Xining looked at these duck eggs in surprise, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Duck eggs are very nutritious. If there are more eggs, they can be sent to the Chi Ling Army to reward the lieutenants, and they can also be rewarded to Chu Liao who has been working hard during this time." official."

Ji Song smiled and nodded: "I think so too."
