After the salted fish is married

88. White jade loquat

In the next few days, Yan Xining could often see Ye Linfeng tinkering with various herbs under the eaves.Some herbs are fragrant, while others have a cloudy smell. When mixed together, they become a bitter medicinal smell.

This smell lingered in Wenzhang Garden, within a few days Yan Xining felt like a salted fish that had been marinated, his whole body was full of bitterness.The smell of the medicine made him lose his appetite, and he lost a lot of it in a few days.Some time ago, there was still some flesh on his chin. In the past two days, his chin has become sharper at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his clothes have grown a lot.

Under Ji Song's strong request, Ye Linfeng felt Yan Xining's pulse.After taking the pulse, he only said that he was overthinking and needed to relieve his mood.When he said this, he looked at Ji Song deliberately, his meaningful eyes made Ji Song's hair stand straight.

Yan Xining felt that Ye Linfeng was talking nonsense with his eyes open. He didn't even admit that his medicine smelled bad, and even pushed the responsibility back to him.

What can he think about?It's nothing more than what to eat for three meals a day. Is this overthinking?

Seeing that it was time to make lunch again, Yan Xining was thinking about what to eat again.He doesn't want to cook when it's hot, so he can't cook a pot of cold noodles at noon, can he?

Thinking of this, Yan Xining took a peek at Ye Linfeng, but Ye Linfeng didn't lift his head: "See what I'm doing?"

Yan Xining rubbed the tip of his nose embarrassingly. Ye Linfeng's sense was too sharp, even better than a surveillance camera.Sometimes he clearly turned his back to him, and he could feel that he was looking at him.

Yan Xining was completely convinced: "Senior, you are really amazing, I can't hide anything from you."

Ye Linfeng snorted twice: "This old man is not a group of little bastards in the palace. I won't brag to you. I don't need to raise my head to know what's going on around me." Then he pointed in the direction of Pinmei Garden: "Here, The people in the mansion have brought you something."

Yan Xining squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Pinmei Garden, but he saw nothing except the fruit trees.After a while, Xiao Song yelled at Xiang Zheng in the direction of Pinmei Garden, and after a while, Butler Leng appeared under the tree.

Yan Xining:! ! !

Ye Linfeng is really a probe, and it is also a panoramic probe, which is too powerful.

Butler Leng brought a loquat fruit, and two dark green fluffy loquat leaves hung on the palm-length branch.There are three loquat fruits as big as jade eggs in front of the leaves.The loquat fruit is packed in a fruit basket woven with bamboo strips. When placed on the table, the peel is stained with crystal dew.

Yan Xining saw such a beautiful loquat for the first time.He already liked to eat loquats, and when he saw the loquat fruit, he couldn't help secreting saliva from his mouth: "This loquat is a tribute, right? It looks so pretty, and it tastes delicious when you look at it."

Steward Leng replied with a smile: "Yes. This is the first mature loquat this year. The prince ordered his subordinates to send it to the princess."

As a member of the royal family, sometimes there are some benefits. When the tributes sent by the states and counties arrive in the palace, the Holy Majesty will distribute some of them to the princes and ministers out of the principle of equal distribution of rain and dew.As a prince deeply trusted by Emperor Pingyuan, Ji Song often received tributes.

Since Ji Song came to Wenzhangyuan, all kinds of rare tributes will always appear on Wenzhangyuan's desk.This made Yan Xining, who never thought of eating the legendary tribute, happy. I have to say that the taste of the tribute is good.

Yan Xining held the bamboo basket and couldn't put it down: "Thank you."

After Butler Leng left, Ye Linfeng frowned and began to mutter: "It's not that the old man said you, you are too unassuming, how can you manage the entire palace like this? Calling servants brothers and sisters... Isn't this a mess?"

Yan Xining smiled: "I think it's okay."

The guards of Prince Rong's Mansion are not ordinary servants, they are all soldiers who have gone to the battlefield and killed the enemy, they deserve to be respected.Besides, what qualifications does Ye Linfeng have to say about them?When he first appeared in front of him, wasn't he also disheartened?

But he didn't dare to let Ye Linfeng know his little thoughts. Ye Linfeng is a genius doctor, and he has the capital to be superior to others.He was different, although he was Concubine Rong in name, but he knew exactly how much he had.

He cut a loquat fruit from a loquat and put it in front of Ye Linfeng: "Senior eat loquat."

Ye Linfeng tore off the outer skin of the loquat fruit casually, and the crystal clear flesh exuded a sweet fragrance.Ye Linfeng casually threw the loquat fruit into his mouth, and after a while, he spat out three or four finger-sized brown seeds.

Looking at the seeds that accounted for almost half of the volume, Ye Linfeng expressed his opinion on the loquat: "I have always wondered what is so delicious about this thing, with such a big nucleus."

Yan Xining carefully put away the remaining two fruits: "Everyone likes radishes and vegetables, and some people like this taste." The delicious loquat tastes sweet and juicy, not inferior to the peach.

Ye Linfeng frowned: "Why don't you eat?"

Yan Xining smiled and said, "Let's eat together when he comes back." The two fruits are not easy to eat, and he can't control himself when facing the loquat.If one eats one of them now, there is no way to keep the other one.At any rate, it was because of Ji Song that he was able to have tributes to eat, and he didn't forget the well digger when he drank water, so he had to leave half of it for Ji Song.

Ye Linfeng's eyes were complicated, he muttered something and then continued to make medicine.Yan Xining didn't care what he said specifically, he carried the bamboo basket into the kitchen: "Senior, can we have cold noodles for lunch today? Can I make beef cold noodles?"

Ye Linfeng immediately got excited: "Okay."

Some time ago, there were a lot of personnel changes in the Ministry of Industry, and Ji Song was really busy for a while.With the personnel in place, the Ministry of Industry began to operate normally, and he was finally able to leave work on time these two days.

Ji Song was about to board the carriage for the return journey, when he heard an urgent voice calling from behind: "My lord! Please stop!"

Ji Song turned his head to look, and saw Wang Wenyue, the Tuntian doctor, running across the threshold in a hurry.Ji Song turned the direction of the wheelchair, and Wang Wenyue ran right in front of him.

Wang Wenyue blushed and panted like a cow, Ji Song looked serious: "But what happened to the Tuntian Department?"

Wang Wenyue waved his hands again and again, beads of sweat oozed from his head.He stammered nervously: "No, it's not a business matter. Yes, the lower official has a private matter and wants to ask the prince for help."

The surprise in Ji Song's eyes flashed across: "Personal matter?"

Wang Wenyue opened his mouth and had no place to rest his hands and feet. Facing Ji Song's cold eyes, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Ever since meeting Yan Xining in the Ministry of Engineering that day, Wang Wenyue learned of a sad thing - the person he likes married, and also married to the unattainable third prince, becoming an unattainable See you, Princess Rong.

If it was an ordinary person, he might have stopped thinking about it long ago, but he couldn't let go of his concern for Xining no matter what.He inquired about Princess Rong around the middle of the capital, and after learning that Xining was almost assassinated in the paddock in the suburbs of Beijing, he was so anxious that he didn't sleep well for several days.

Although the matter has passed for a long time, whenever he thinks that the person he cares about will die in an uncontrollable danger, he wants to do something for Xining, at least to let Xining have the ability to protect himself when encountering danger.So he spent several days making a set of exquisite sleeve arrows.

Things are ready, but how to give them to Xining has become the biggest problem.

At first, Wang Wenyue wanted to bribe the servants of the palace to bring things in, but after a try, he was shocked: the palace of Rongwang was like a fortress of iron and steel.Not to mention bringing things into the mansion, the servants of the palace were unmoved in the face of heavy money.

So Wang Wenyue turned his mind on the guards of Rong Wang's mansion, but before he explained his purpose, Yan Ke gave him a look, and he was too scared to speak.

It was only later that he found out that these guards were all generals of the Chi Ling Army, and they followed King Rong back to the capital.Asking them to deliver something, isn't that hitting the muzzle of a gun?

It took several days to prepare the Xiujian, and Wang Wenyue suffered every day.In the end he went all out, and he decided to go directly to King Rong.Although Xi Ning is Ji Song's concubine, there is no law in Chu Liao that prohibits former classmates from giving gifts, right?Even concubines in the palace can receive letters from home.

But seeing Ji Song's appearance, his hands and feet were numb, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.Wang Wenyue regretted it, if he let the prince know his feelings for Xining, would he still have a way out?

Seeing Wang Wenyue's face turned pale, Ji Song realized that he had frightened Wang Wenyue.He said softly: "Mr. Wang, what private matter do you need me to help you with?"

Wang Wenyue's ears were ringing, and Ji Song's voice seemed to come from far away, and it seemed to be a little erratic in his ears.

In a daze, Wang Wenyue took out an exquisite wooden box from his sleeve: "My lord, Xiaguan and Rong Xining used to be classmates, we...we are very, very good friends, I, I have something to bring to him... "

Ji Song nodded slightly, Yan Ke told him that Wang Wenyue was Aning's classmate on the day Aning came to the Ministry of Industry to deliver meals.Yan Ke stepped forward to take the wooden box, his expression changed after opening the box: "Master, look!"

I saw a pair of delicate sleeve arrows lying in the box.There were ten small three-inch iron arrows inserted into the sleeve arrows, and the sharp arrows shone coldly.As a martial arts practitioner, Ji Song could see the power of this sleeve arrow at a glance, and immediately fixed his eyes on Wang Wenyue dangerously: "Mr. Wang, let me remind you that this is a sleeve arrow that can kill someone."

What is Wang Wenyue's peace of mind?How could you send such a dangerous thing to Ah Ning?

Wang Wen became more nervous and calmed down. He knelt on the ground with a thud: "Reporting to the lord, I heard that the princess was hurt by villains. This sleeve arrow was custom-made for the princess. In times of crisis, you have the power to protect yourself!"

Ji Song's eyes darkened, he thought of Yan Xining flying towards the gangster, and thought of the bruises all over his body.As Wang Wenyue said, the sleeve arrow is suitable for self-defense, especially for someone like Yan Xining who doesn't know how to practice martial arts.

Although Yan Ke and the others are teaching Yan Xining how to practice martial arts recently, having a life-saving weapon in their hands can indeed save their lives in critical situations.

Ji Song lowered his eyes, and he took out the sleeve arrow from the wooden box.The sleeve arrows are so delicate that they can't be seen after wearing the sleeves and covering them with long sleeves.Ji Song put the sleeve on his arm, then he lifted the next door to the wall on one side and pressed the switch on the sleeve arrow.

With a flash of cold light, the small arrow sank deep into the wall.If it is aimed at a person, the arrow can completely penetrate the enemy's body.Ji Song's eyes froze: "What a killer!"

After a pause, he took off the sleeve arrow: "I thank Mr. Wang for his kindness on behalf of Aning."

The anxiety in Wang Wenyue's eyes turned into joy, and he kowtowed happily: "Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" His sleeve arrow was finally sent out, and he hoped that Xining would be protected by it and never be hurt again.

89. White jade loquat

Touching the wooden box on his knees, Ji Song felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.After thinking for a while, he tapped on the armrest: "Yan Ke."

Yan Ke neatly got into the carriage: "Master, are you calling me?"

Ji Song hesitated and said, "If you met your old friend, would you cry with joy and give him a life-saving weapon?"

Yan Ke said honestly: "It's impossible to cry with joy, but the subordinate will find a time to ask him out for a drink and talk after the greetings. If the old friend is in danger, the subordinate happens to have something that can save him, and the subordinate will definitely give it to him. Does the master think it's inappropriate for Wang Langzhong to give something to the princess?"

Ji Song's eyes were gloomy: "Drink and talk freely... He should not have this condition. There is nothing wrong with it..."

If Yan Xining hadn't married him, Wang Wenyue could ask him out to meet him as much as he wanted, but after becoming a princess, Aning seldom went out.It is impossible for Wang Wenyue to find a chance to drink and chat with Yan Xining.Thinking about it this way, it made sense to cry with joy after seeing Yan Xining.

Just sending a sleeve arrow... Does Wang Wenyue feel that Aning is in a very dangerous situation?But this is not surprising, he is in a whirlpool, how could Ah Ning, as his pillow, be alone?

Ji Song pursed the corners of his lips: "He's really tired after following me."

The absurd ecstasy a few months ago bound two people who had never met before.At first everyone felt that he was wronged and married someone he didn't like.But now it seems that the one who was wronged should be Aning.

With Aning's temperament, even a countryman can live a splendid life, but after being with him, it is impossible to guard against open and hidden arrows.Even his former friends could see that he was in danger, so how could he not know?

When most people encounter him in this situation, they are so afraid that they can't sleep or eat.But his princess was so optimistic and cheerful, and in turn comforted her frustrated self.Thinking of Yan Xining's smiling face, Ji Song let go of the strange emotions brought to him by the sleeve arrow, and his heart softened: "Let's go, let's go back."

When his legs are cured, he will definitely protect Aning and keep danger and disaster away from him.

As soon as Ji Song returned to Wenzhang Garden, he saw Yan Xining put forward a small bamboo basket as if offering a treasure: "You are back, I left something good for you."

The fatigue all over Ji Song's body dissipated when he saw Yan Xining's smiling face, and he said softly, "What good thing?"

Before Yan Xining had time to show off those two beautiful loquats, she heard Ye Linfeng tearing things up from the side: "Two loquats, how do you treat your princess? It's just loquats, you're still hiding them. People eat."

Ji Song quietly turned his head to look at Ye Linfeng, who was making medicine with his back turned: "Look at what I'm doing? Did the old man say something wrong? It's a worthless thing, your father knows how to throw money when chasing people, Why is it your turn to search so hard that you don’t even give anyone a piece of fruit to eat.”

Yan Xining: ...

He really didn't mean that, he just wanted to share the loquat with Ji Song.

Fortunately, Ji Song didn't take Ye Linfeng's words to heart, he looked at the bamboo basket gently: "Let me see." After a pause, he smiled and said: "This year's fruit is bigger than previous years, why didn't you eat it?" ?”

Yan Xining smiled and said, "There are exactly three fruits, Doctor Ye ate one, and we each have one for the remaining two."

Ye Linfeng spoke from the side again: "Civil, half of the two loquats will be left to you, are you worthy of him?"

Yan Xining: ...

I can't accept this.

After one of the fruits was pulled off, a hole was torn in the peel.After peeling the pulp along the sides of the hole, Yan Xining got a moist and white loquat fruit.He handed the peeled loquat to Ji Song's lips: "Come on, this loquat is very sweet at first glance."

Ji Song smiled and said, "You eat first."

Yan Xining was not polite either, he couldn't wait to stuff the loquat into his mouth.With a light sip, the sweet juice bursts.The taste of Baiyu loquat is fresh and tender without a trace of sourness.

Compared with other loquat kernels, the loquat kernel in the mouth is really conscience.Feeling the loquat meat melting in her mouth, Yan Xining narrowed her eyes in satisfaction: "It's so sweet."

The smooth loquat core is surrounded by a brown film, which has no taste and poor taste.Even so, Yan Xining chewed and swallowed the membrane.He opened his mouth and spit out four irregularly shaped seeds: "It's delicious."

As soon as the words fell, a peeled loquat appeared on his lips.Ji Song smiled: "Eat it, I'm not very interested in loquat."

Yan Xining looked at Bai Nen's flesh, he hesitated and said: "There are only three tribute fruits, and they will be gone after eating."

Ji Song felt sour in his heart, and his voice became more gentle: "Yes, you can just eat it boldly."

Just as Yan Xining was about to refuse, Ji Song said, "Ah Ning, actually I have to apologize to you."

Yan Xining:? ?

Ji Song was ashamed and said, "Do you still remember the loquat tree you saw in the courtyard behind the main hall? You asked me if the fruit from that loquat tree was sweet. I lied to you then, and you eat it now are the fruit of that tree.”

Yan Xining opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Ah."

Ji Song's face was calm, but the tension in his eyes had already betrayed him: "I didn't tell you the truth at that time, don't be angry."

At that time, someone came from the palace, so he had to act with Yan Xining.On the way to the main hall, Yan Xining was still paying attention to the loquat tree. He was very impatient at that time, and he didn't like Yan Xining.If time could be turned back, on that rainy morning, he would definitely tell his princess: the fruit of this loquat is very sweet.

As soon as Ji Song finished speaking, his fingers suddenly emptied.Yan Xining bit the peeled loquat in his mouth, and his cheeks bulged: "Our loquat variety is very good. It's fortunate that you told me now, otherwise the loquat on the tree would have disappeared."

All the tension and worries in his heart dissipated, and Ji Song smiled: "Eat slowly, this is the first loquat that matures on the tree, and there will be more and more mature loquats in the future."

This year's loquats are not going to be sent to the palace. The ladies in the palace will not be happy for a few loquats, but his princess is full of expectations.

Yan Xining happily spat out the seeds: "I still plan to keep the loquat seeds to grow seedlings, but it seems that there is no need for it now." In autumn, he will be able to pick off the branches of the white jade loquat and graft them on the loquat tree in the yard.

What Ji Song understood was another meaning: "Yes, I don't need it in the future." He wanted to tell Leng Jun to let Zhuangzi in the suburbs grow some loquat trees.Choose the best variety, which bears the sweetest fruit.

Seeing Yan Xining's happy face, Ji Song smiled and said, "A-Ning likes to eat loquats?"

Yan Xining recalled: "When I was a child, there was a loquat tree at home, and the fruit it bore was small but very sweet." When I was a child, whenever the loquat was ripe, he was more diligent than a bird. When he saw that loquat turned yellow, he would let it Mom and Dad picked the loquat fruit.

Ji Song asked, "Is the loquat tree still there?"

Yan Xining smiled and shook her head: "It's gone." The loquat tree was neglected, and after the father passed away, the tree died within a few years.After that, he never ate delicious loquats again. He never thought that he would be able to realize the freedom of loquats in Chuliao. It was an unexpected harvest.

After eating the loquat, Ji Song handed the wooden box to Yan Xining: "Your classmate asked me to bring it to you."

Yan Xining took the box curiously: "Student? You mean Wang Wenyue?" He was a little surprised, what would Wang Wenyue give him?

When he opened the box, Yan Xining's eyes lit up: "This, is this a weapon? What's it called?" He had seen this weapon in a magazine before, but he still couldn't think of its name after racking his brains.

Ji Song picked up the sleeve arrow with one hand, and rolled up the sleeve of Yan Xining's right arm with the other: "Sleeve arrow. This sleeve arrow is very lethal, let you use it for self-defense."

The sleeve part of the sleeve arrow is made of soft leather, and it hardly feels strange when it is tied on the arm.Yan Xining looked at the sleeve arrow on his arm excitedly, and his questions popped up one after another: "It's so delicately made. Is the button on this switch a switch? Will the arrow disappear when it's used up?"

Ji Song said softly: "Yes, I will teach you how to shoot an arrow."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Linfeng's voice came out again: "Are you ashamed? My princess's life-saving things are given by other men. What use are you?"

Ji Song suddenly realized, he finally understood why Wang Wenyue felt uncomfortable when he sent the sleeve arrow.Although Wang Wenyue had good intentions, Yan Xining was his princess!

How could his people be protected by others?

Now looking at the sleeve arrow on Yan Xining's arm, Ji Song doesn't like it.However, his eyes were gentle, without showing any abnormality: "Yan Ke, bring me the smallest target I used, remember, the smallest one."

Under Ji Song's careful guidance, Yan Xining quickly mastered the shooting method of the sleeve arrow.Seeing that the flying sleeve arrows were getting closer and closer to the bull's-eye, just when he felt that the next blow would hit the bull's-eye steadily, the remaining nine small iron arrows in the sleeve arrows had all been shot.

When he wanted to pull the small iron arrow from the target and try again, he found that the head of the small iron arrow had deformed in different shapes.Yan Xining showed the arrow to Ji Song: "Hey? Are the sleeve arrows so powerful? The arrows are deformed. Look, can such arrows still work?"

Ji Song put the arrow in Yan Xining's hand aside: "It can't be used anymore, the arrow is useless. It's okay, I'll send you a new arrow in two days." Then he took the sleeve arrow from Yan Xining's arm: " Practice here today, practice tomorrow, right?"

Yan Xining reluctantly closed the box: "Okay."

Ji Song reached out to take the box and handed it to Yan Ke: "Remake the arrow according to the style of the sleeve arrow, keep the sleeve arrow well, and don't lose it."

Cold sweat dripped down Yan Ke's head, and the corners of his lips twitched: "Your subordinate obeys."

The master doesn't seem to like this sleeve arrow, otherwise why would he use a metal target to practice arrows?Moreover, he deliberately asked him not to lose it. Isn't this trying to cover up?
