After the salted fish is married
Chapter 78
132. Perilla Peach Ginger
Yan Xining really wanted to be rich and not to be promiscuous, but when he saw a box full of land deeds, he hesitated.If it was him who only wanted to be a salted fish before, he would only feel troublesome when he saw these land deeds, so he might as well hand them over to Ji Song for safety.
But it's different now, this incident gave him a wake-up call.If you don't have the money and land in your hands, you will have no confidence, and you may be homeless one day.
But...he also knows what it means to take over the land deed, which means that he has accepted Rong Chuan's apology, and will give Ji Song the opportunity to pursue him.
For a moment, Yan Xining was full of worries, feeling that he could not accept these land deeds, whether public or private.However, Ji Song saw through his thoughts, and he pushed the land deed in front of Yan Xining: "Even if you don't accept me in the future, these things will still let you get close. Don't feel any pressure, just accept it. And there is something in it. There is your shop and Zhuangzi."
Yan Xining shook his head: "No..." He wanted to feel safe, but Ji Song gave too much, and it would only make his conscience uneasy after accepting it.
Ji Song's eyes dimmed slightly: "Can't you?" It seemed that he really didn't understand Aning, and also, if Aning really valued money, he wouldn't let him manage his dowry.
Yan Xining took a deep breath: "There are too many, I only want my own things." Just now Ji Song reminded him that he has his own village and shop.He was afraid of trouble before, so he handed over to Ji Song to take care of it, but now that he thinks about it, it's really not safe.
Ji Song thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay." Just now he was patting his chest and saying that he respected Aning, but he committed the problem of self-righteousness again.
There were hundreds of land deeds in the box, and Ji Song picked them up one by one and introduced them to Yan Xining: "These are the land deeds for your dowry to Zhuangzi's shop; these are the houses and land purchased with dowry items and money."
Yan Xining was surprised to find that one-third of the title deeds in the box belonged to her.For a moment, he was holding a thick stack of land deeds with complicated emotions. It turned out that before he realized it, he was already a rich salted fish.
Ye Linfeng took out an exquisite box from the room, and he opened the box: "This box is used by the old man to store precious medicinal herbs. It is waterproof and fireproof, and it is inconspicuous. It is for you to hold the title deed."
Yan Xining saluted gratefully, and put the title deed in the box.Not to mention, holding his own land deed in his hand, he felt full of confidence.
Ye Linfeng looked at Ji Song seriously: "Rong Chuan, uncle is here today as a witness. After the land deed is given to Aning, you must not go back and change it afterwards, let alone bully others."
Ji Song raised his hand and said: "Uncle is above, Rong Chuan is willing to swear with his life that he will never regret it." How could he rely on Aning's softness and kindness to do things that he never said?Besides, these things originally belonged to Aning, how has his appearance changed?
Only then did Ye Linfeng feel happy, and he casually removed the gauze on the fruit basket: "That's good. Feelings can be cultivated slowly, and it's better to say something than to keep it in your heart. Can Aning accept you? It depends on your follow-up performance."
Yan Xining opened his mouth: "I..." There are two thorns in his heart, which cannot be removed, and he and Ji Song will have no future.But now he is so cowardly, he dare not tell Ji Song about his background, he is afraid that he will be treated as a different kind, and he is also afraid that the good times will come to an end.
Ye Linfeng casually took out a peach from the fruit basket, and wiped the peach on his shirt: "Okay, it's getting late, uncle won't keep you. Go back quickly." Isn't that what the young couple quarreled like? Well, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.
Ji Song frowned, and he stretched out his hand to Yan Xining: "Ah Ning, shall we go back first?"
Yan Xining hadn't been able to lie flat in Wenzhang Garden for several days, he really wanted to go home.It's just that he still has one last bit of persistence: "Well, but Rong Chuan, can you move out of Wenzhang Garden."
The smile on Ji Song's face froze for a moment, and then he said softly, "Okay, listen to you."
Aning had no choice but to let him in and out of Wenzhang Garden.Now that he has patted his chest and vowed to respect Aning, he has to listen to Aning.At worst, he went to Wenzhangyuan to report early every day, and left before going to bed at night.
After the rain was over, Yan Xining's depressed mood improved.At this time, he heard Ye Linfeng's voice of eating, and at the same time, a sweet peach fragrance permeated the air.Following the sound, Ye Linfeng was eating a big pink and white peach in his hand.
Seeing Yan Xining looking at him, Ye Linfeng said happily: "The peaches brought by Rong Chuan are quite sweet, they should be a tribute from the Su Mansion."
There were six large peaches in the bamboo basket, each as big as two adult fists, and each peach weighed more than a catty.The pink-white peach has a lovely pink tip, and it is very delicious at first glance.
Ji Song explained: "Uncle is right, it is indeed a tribute peach from the Su Mansion. Xi Ning, try it and see if it tastes better than the peaches you grow yourself?"
As soon as the voice fell, Yan Xining's expression changed: "Oh no, my peach!"
When Yan Xining was renovating the Pinmei Garden, he found several peach trees. These peach trees were planted in the northwest corner of the Pinmei Garden. They seemed to be quite old.When they were found, their trunks were covered with insect holes, and many of the branches had been hollowed out.
At that time, the guards wanted to cut down these peach trees, but Yan Xining thought they could be salvaged, so she kept them.After a series of remedial measures such as pruning, insect removal and fertilization, the peach trees bloomed pink flowers in spring, and after the flowers fell, they also produced small fluffy peaches.
In Bai Tao's eager expectation, the peaches are getting bigger and bigger.There are already peaches in the capital in June, and the peaches in Pinmeiyuan are still blue.According to the judgment of the craftsmen in the government, these peaches are very likely to be juicy peaches.
After hearing this, Bai Tao wished he could camp under the peach tree, every day he would go and squat under the peach tree for a while.After entering July, the sun is shining brightly, and the peaches are gradually turning white under the sunshine, and they are about to ripen.
However, he has been troubled by Ji Song's affairs these days, and he has not gone to see Tao Zi's situation.It was stormy today, and I don't know what happened to the peaches on the tree.
Yan Xining quickly returned to Plum Garden. After a heavy rain, the courtyard was splashed with mud and water, and the courtyard was full of fallen leaves and fruits.From a distance, Yan Xining saw Bai Tao's figure. Bai Tao was squatting under the peach tree. There was a big bamboo basket beside him, and there were muddy peaches in the bamboo basket.
Many peaches were smashed when they fell to the ground, and most of the peaches on several trees fell to the ground. It was really distressing to see the red and white ones.
Hearing the movement behind him, Bai Tao subconsciously turned around and looked over.When he saw Yan Xining, Bai Tao curled his mouth, and tears rolled down his face: "Master."
Yan Xining thought that Baitao was crying because the peaches were knocked down by the rain, so he comforted him: "It's okay, don't cry, the peaches that fell on the ground can be eaten after cleaning up. Look, there are still a lot of peaches on the tree?"
Bai Tao cried and ran towards Yan Xining, who hugged Yan Xining tightly: "Master, you can't leave Bai Tao behind. Wherever you go, Bai Tao will go with you."
Bai Tao hadn't cried like this for a long time, he choked up, "I won't be able to seek death in the future, if there is anything you can't figure out, just tell me. Young master, you are not alone, you have me by your side!"
Yan Xining's heart softened, the original owner removed the white pottery when he hung the southeast branch.If he hadn't traveled over to take over this body and revived in time, what would Bai Tao collapse into when he woke up and saw the original owner's body?
Bai Tao burst into tears: "Master, you still have me, you can't leave me alone."
Yan Xining's eyes were slightly red, and he rubbed Bai Tao's head and swore again and again: "No, I won't leave you behind. Stop crying, you finally became a tough guy, and you don't want to be laughed at by the guards, do you? "
Bai Tao buried his face in Yan Xining's chest, and he choked for a long time: "It doesn't matter, they like to laugh or not, anyway, I want to follow the young master."
When Yan Xining left Wenzhang Garden, Bai Tao's panic reached its peak.It turned out that on the first day they came to Wenzhang Garden, the young master really wanted to die.As the young master's personal servant, he actually believed the young master's lies.He didn't dare to imagine the days without the young master, if the young master really left, he wouldn't be alive either.
Yan Xining coaxed Bai Tao: "Okay, no matter where I go from now on, I will take you with me, don't worry."
Only then did Bai Tao stop his tears: "It's agreed, go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire, and I will go wherever the young master goes."
Yan Xining changed the subject with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't waste time. Go get another basket, and we'll pick peaches together."
Bai Tao responded, and he hurriedly ran towards the kitchen, but he turned his head after only two steps: "Master, you won't be looking for death in the future, will you?"
Yan Xining couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't worry, your young master will live a long life."
Only then did Bai Tao become happy: "Yes, my young master is such a nice person, he will surely live a long life."
Watching Yan Xining's master and servant speak, Ji Song looked down at his legs.Soon, soon, after a while, he will be able to stand up.When he can stand up, he can move freely in front of Aning.
Before dusk fell, Yan Xining and Bai Tao picked up two large baskets of peaches.The peaches they planted were not as good as those sent by Ji Song, but the taste was not bad.
Especially for peaches that have been soft and rotten, after washing off the sludge, you only need to gently peel off the skin, and the rich juice will burst out.Yan Xining likes soft peaches the most, but unfortunately most of the soft peaches fall to the ground and are badly damaged, so they can only be thrown to chickens to eat.
Yan Xining picked out relatively intact peaches, washed them, and put them in the basket. He called Bai Tao, "Bai Tao, you carry these peaches to the guards."
Bai Tao responded, "Okay."
The remaining peaches were badly damaged, with brown cracks on one side of the tennis ball-sized crisp peaches.Ji Song looked at the peaches and suggested: "Ah Ning, don't eat these peaches, be careful not to eat them."
Since getting his own land deed, Yan Xining is in a good mood, and now he can treat Ji Song with a normal heart.He smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll cut off the bad part later, and then make perilla peach ginger, so that it won't be wasted."
Basil peach ginger is a snack he often eats in summer. It is simple to make, tastes sweet and sour, and has a high value. It is cool and refreshing after chilling.The key is that perilla, peach, and ginger can consume these damaged peaches. As early as when he was picking peaches, he had already figured out what to do with them.
133. Perilla Peach Ginger
Ji Song's lips curled up into a gentle smile: "I'll help you." He had already seen A Ning's ability to turn decay into magic. Before, he just sat quietly and watched A Ning make delicious food, but this time, He wants to be in it.
As he spoke, he steered the wheelchair and rolled to the side of the wooden basin and introduced himself: "I can help remove the broken part."
Ji Song is a master with swords, Yan Xining is happy to have his help, "Okay, then please."
Seeing that Yan Xining didn't reject him, Ji Song's smile deepened, he really liked the feeling of working quietly with Ah Ning.
When Bai Tao came back, he was followed by a dejected Yan Ke, who must have been wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.When the master went to Fuliuyuan, he went to the place where the guards lived, and he told the brothers the real situation of the master and the princess.
Now the brothers are all wilted, each of them is so guilty that they can't lift their heads up, and they dare not go to Wenzhang Garden.Thanks to the fact that they ate so many delicious foods made by the princess, they didn't know what the princess wanted, and they also caused a lot of trouble for the princess.
If Bai Tao hadn't sent Tao Zi, the guards would still be standing in military posture against the wall to reflect.
A big man dares to act bravely, and everyone in the Chi Ling Army is a man.Now that you know you are wrong, you should correct it in time.Yan Ke plucked up his courage and followed Bai Tao's footsteps to Wenzhang Garden. He wanted to apologize to the princess face to face.
It's just that he didn't expect that the master was also in the Wenzhang Garden. The master and the princess were surrounded by wooden basins, one washing peaches and the other peeling peaches.The two cooperated tacitly and talked and laughed, where there was no tense posture before.
Ji Song fished out a peach from Shau Kei. These peaches had been washed several times with clean water, and the fluff on the surface was rubbed with fine salt.After turning the knife around the peaches a few times, the peach skins fell off one after another, revealing the pinkish white flesh. As the knife quickly divided the peaches around, pieces of evenly sized peach flesh fell from the peach pits.
Ji Song's knife was very accurate, and a damaged peach was used to the fullest in his hands.After a while, a pile of fruit pulp was piled up in the wooden basin in front of him, the peach flesh exuded a sweet taste, while he was peeling, he stuffed the peeled peach flesh into his and Yan Xining's mouths.
Yan Xining likes to eat soft peaches, but he has to admit that hard peaches also have a special flavor.The half-ripe peach flesh was crisp and sweet, with Ji Song peeling it beside him, he enjoyed eating it.
Yan Ke: ...
This is different from what he imagined.But he was very happy to see the master and the princess reconciled.
Just when he was about to say something, Ji Song raised his eyes: "Go to the field to pick perilla."
Yan Ke couldn't figure it out, he saluted honestly: "Yes."
Perilla and Huoxiang can be seen everywhere along the path of Pinmeiyuan. These two seasonings are essential seasonings for Yan Xining when cooking fried snails with fish.Yan Ke often sees Baitao pinching off young leaves and shoots, and now he can easily distinguish these two crops.
The leaves of perilla are oval, the front of the leaves is dark green, and some buds can show purple.When you turn over the leaves, you can see the thick deep purple.Pinch a handful of leaves, and your fingers will be stained with the smell of perilla.
After the rain, the basil stretched its leaves, and you can smell a fresh fragrance before you get close.Yan Ke skillfully picked off the young leaves of perilla, and looked sideways at the direction of the eaves from time to time: "Is the master and the princess reconciled?"
Bai Tao rolled his eyes: "How would I know?"
Yan Ke took a breath, and looked Bai Tao up and down: "Why are you talking? So aggressive?"
Bai Tao was holding back his anger: "My young master was almost forced to death by the prince. If I were the young master, I wouldn't want to forgive the prince. That is to say, the young master has a good temper. If someone has a bad temper, he would have already poisoned the food."
Yan Ke was silent when he heard the words, and when he was silent, Bai Tao felt uncomfortable: "Forget it, I'm just saying. Now the prince is very kind to the young master, I hope he can continue to treat the young master well."
In addition to picking perilla, Bai Tao also received another task, which was to pull some ginger back.After several months of growth, the ginger planted in spring has now given birth to young ginger.
Bai Tao didn't like the smell of ginger, let alone eating them, even if he got close to them, he would feel bad smell.However, Bai Tao's movements are extraordinarily gentle when facing the ginger whom he has grown up to serve.
The soil after the rain was extraordinarily soft. When the young ginger with the soil appeared on the ground, Yan Ke opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Is this ginger?" Like the ginger he knew?
At this time, Yan Xining and Ji Song also cut up the peaches, filled a pot full of damaged peach flesh, and after sprinkled with salt, a lot of juice precipitated out.Ji Song casually squeezed a piece of peach flesh and stuffed it into his mouth, the sweet peach flesh was surrounded by a layer of salty taste, it tasted a bit strange, but the taste was okay.
At this time, Yan Ke came back with the cleaned ginger and perilla, and he handed the bamboo basket to Yan Xining: "Princess, do you think this is okay?"
Yan Xining smiled and said, "Very good, thank you Guard Yan."
Yan Ke stood beside Yan Xining with his head depressed, his face flushed a little bit: "Princess, I'm sorry."
Yan Xining:? ? ?
What happened today?Why did the people in Prince Rong's Mansion apologize to him one by one?
Yan Ke took a deep breath and said loudly: "This subordinate presumes the princess's intentions and caused troubles to the princess. On behalf of the 32 guards in the mansion, I sincerely apologize to the princess, I'm sorry!"
Yan Xining: ...
In fact, he really didn't think that Yan Ke and the others did anything wrong. On the contrary, he was very grateful to the guards: "You don't need to apologize to the guards. Well done, you guys helped me a lot."
Yan Ke wanted to say something, but Yan Xining said with a smile: "Just talk about the matter between me and the prince, you don't have to take it to heart."
After hearing Yan Xining's words, Yan Ke didn't feel less guilty, on the contrary he felt even more ashamed.But the concubine said don't take it to heart, he can't hold on to this matter.So Yan Ke decided to use actions to express his apology: "I understand, Princess, is there anything I need to do?"
Yan Xining smiled and said, "Yes, please go to the Yingke Building and bring some food back. I don't want to cook tonight." Before, because of Ji Song, he had to cook three meals a day, although Ji Song is not picky eater, But after a long time, he will also want to try other people's crafts.
Ji Song added: "Remember to bring crispy beef and roast duck." When Ji Liang invited him to dinner, Yan Xining was full of praise for these two dishes.
After Yan Ke left, Yan Xining took out the young ginger. He cut the young ginger into thin, almost transparent slices, and then sprinkled fine salt on it to marinate.The taste of young ginger is not as strong as that of old ginger. After killing the sauce, the spicy ginger taste is much lighter.
The perilla needs to be kneaded into perilla sauce before it can be used. Yan Xining took out a large basin and mixed white vinegar and sugar into the perilla leaves.With rubbing, the perilla leaves released purple-red juice, and a sweet and sour perilla smell flowed under the eaves.
Ji Song looked at the princess who was trying hard to knead the basil, and he said softly, "A-Ning's mother must be very good at cooking." A-Ning grew up in Zhuangzi, and Ji Song felt that there must be someone who is proficient in cooking beside A-Ning .Except for Ah Ning's long-dead mother, Ji Song couldn't think of anyone else.
Yan Xining smiled and said, "Yes." His mother cooks well, and of course, his father's cooking skills are not bad either.
Ji Song looked at Yan Xining seriously: "Does Ah Ning want to welcome her mother's tablet to the palace?"
Yan Xining was stunned, he didn't realize it for a while: "What?"
Ji Song repeated: "I heard that Yan Shangshu did not put your mother's memorial tablet in the Yan family mourning hall. If you want, you can open a small mourning hall in the palace to enshrine your mother's memorial tablet."
In Chu and Liao, concubines had no status. They could not be buried with their husbands after death, and they could not even enter the ancestral hall.In the big family, there will be a special mourning hall dedicated to these concubines.
However, Yan Xining's mother came from a brothel, and her status was inferior to that of a concubine, and she was unable to enter the gate of Yan's mansion until she died.After she died, Yan Boyong buried her body directly on the mountain near Zhuangzi where she was placed.
Yan Xining shook her head after hearing the words. In the original owner's memory, he was not treated kindly by Yan Boyong, nor was he treated kindly by his own mother.He only knew that his mother's nickname was Mannia, and she was a crazy and paranoid person.She likes to drink, and when she gets drunk, she will take out her anger on the original owner.Therefore, after Mannia died, the original owner only felt relieved.
Yan Xining felt that this kind of woman was not worthy of being enshrined by him, so he said softly: "Let her sleep forever in the mountains, where it will be pure."
Ji Song nodded slightly: "Alright."
The perilla sauce was kneaded quickly, and the perilla leaves had turned into black lumps at this time.Yan Xining washed the peaches and ginger slices again, and then mixed them into the perilla sauce.Just such a perilla, peach, and ginger is just short of the last step. Just put the container in an ice bucket and freeze it overnight, and you can enjoy this unique summer delicacy tomorrow.
The thought of him being able to eat cool snacks in the scorching sun and lying in the Wenzhang Garden guarding the ice bucket made Yan Xining feel extremely happy.
At this time, Steward Leng came to report: "Master, the Fifth Highness has come to the palace. He said that he was entrusted to visit the master and the princess."
Ji Song was very surprised. Ji Yu seldom went to other prince's mansions, but when he came to Prince Rong's mansion suddenly, Ji Song always felt that something was wrong.It may be because Ji Yu's status as the young minister of Dali Temple made him alert. Could it be that Yan Ke and the others were not good at doing things, and Mo Le's body was found?
After thinking for a while, Ji Song said to Yan Xining, "I'll go see him."
Yan Xining wiped his hands and said, "I'll go with you." No matter what happened between him and Ji Song, what he promised Ji Song would not change.In front of outsiders, they are the loving husband and wife Rong Wang.
Who can ask the Fifth Prince to visit them?Could it be Emperor Pingyuan?But Emperor Pingyuan had Eunuch Yang by his side, and he had never liked Ji Yu, so how could he let Ji Yu visit them?
Yan Xining really wanted to be rich and not to be promiscuous, but when he saw a box full of land deeds, he hesitated.If it was him who only wanted to be a salted fish before, he would only feel troublesome when he saw these land deeds, so he might as well hand them over to Ji Song for safety.
But it's different now, this incident gave him a wake-up call.If you don't have the money and land in your hands, you will have no confidence, and you may be homeless one day.
But...he also knows what it means to take over the land deed, which means that he has accepted Rong Chuan's apology, and will give Ji Song the opportunity to pursue him.
For a moment, Yan Xining was full of worries, feeling that he could not accept these land deeds, whether public or private.However, Ji Song saw through his thoughts, and he pushed the land deed in front of Yan Xining: "Even if you don't accept me in the future, these things will still let you get close. Don't feel any pressure, just accept it. And there is something in it. There is your shop and Zhuangzi."
Yan Xining shook his head: "No..." He wanted to feel safe, but Ji Song gave too much, and it would only make his conscience uneasy after accepting it.
Ji Song's eyes dimmed slightly: "Can't you?" It seemed that he really didn't understand Aning, and also, if Aning really valued money, he wouldn't let him manage his dowry.
Yan Xining took a deep breath: "There are too many, I only want my own things." Just now Ji Song reminded him that he has his own village and shop.He was afraid of trouble before, so he handed over to Ji Song to take care of it, but now that he thinks about it, it's really not safe.
Ji Song thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay." Just now he was patting his chest and saying that he respected Aning, but he committed the problem of self-righteousness again.
There were hundreds of land deeds in the box, and Ji Song picked them up one by one and introduced them to Yan Xining: "These are the land deeds for your dowry to Zhuangzi's shop; these are the houses and land purchased with dowry items and money."
Yan Xining was surprised to find that one-third of the title deeds in the box belonged to her.For a moment, he was holding a thick stack of land deeds with complicated emotions. It turned out that before he realized it, he was already a rich salted fish.
Ye Linfeng took out an exquisite box from the room, and he opened the box: "This box is used by the old man to store precious medicinal herbs. It is waterproof and fireproof, and it is inconspicuous. It is for you to hold the title deed."
Yan Xining saluted gratefully, and put the title deed in the box.Not to mention, holding his own land deed in his hand, he felt full of confidence.
Ye Linfeng looked at Ji Song seriously: "Rong Chuan, uncle is here today as a witness. After the land deed is given to Aning, you must not go back and change it afterwards, let alone bully others."
Ji Song raised his hand and said: "Uncle is above, Rong Chuan is willing to swear with his life that he will never regret it." How could he rely on Aning's softness and kindness to do things that he never said?Besides, these things originally belonged to Aning, how has his appearance changed?
Only then did Ye Linfeng feel happy, and he casually removed the gauze on the fruit basket: "That's good. Feelings can be cultivated slowly, and it's better to say something than to keep it in your heart. Can Aning accept you? It depends on your follow-up performance."
Yan Xining opened his mouth: "I..." There are two thorns in his heart, which cannot be removed, and he and Ji Song will have no future.But now he is so cowardly, he dare not tell Ji Song about his background, he is afraid that he will be treated as a different kind, and he is also afraid that the good times will come to an end.
Ye Linfeng casually took out a peach from the fruit basket, and wiped the peach on his shirt: "Okay, it's getting late, uncle won't keep you. Go back quickly." Isn't that what the young couple quarreled like? Well, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.
Ji Song frowned, and he stretched out his hand to Yan Xining: "Ah Ning, shall we go back first?"
Yan Xining hadn't been able to lie flat in Wenzhang Garden for several days, he really wanted to go home.It's just that he still has one last bit of persistence: "Well, but Rong Chuan, can you move out of Wenzhang Garden."
The smile on Ji Song's face froze for a moment, and then he said softly, "Okay, listen to you."
Aning had no choice but to let him in and out of Wenzhang Garden.Now that he has patted his chest and vowed to respect Aning, he has to listen to Aning.At worst, he went to Wenzhangyuan to report early every day, and left before going to bed at night.

Ji Song explained: "Uncle is right, it is indeed a tribute peach from the Su Mansion. Xi Ning, try it and see if it tastes better than the peaches you grow yourself?"
As soon as the voice fell, Yan Xining's expression changed: "Oh no, my peach!"
When Yan Xining was renovating the Pinmei Garden, he found several peach trees. These peach trees were planted in the northwest corner of the Pinmei Garden. They seemed to be quite old.When they were found, their trunks were covered with insect holes, and many of the branches had been hollowed out.

Bai Tao cried and ran towards Yan Xining, who hugged Yan Xining tightly: "Master, you can't leave Bai Tao behind. Wherever you go, Bai Tao will go with you."
Bai Tao hadn't cried like this for a long time, he choked up, "I won't be able to seek death in the future, if there is anything you can't figure out, just tell me. Young master, you are not alone, you have me by your side!"
Yan Xining's heart softened, the original owner removed the white pottery when he hung the southeast branch.If he hadn't traveled over to take over this body and revived in time, what would Bai Tao collapse into when he woke up and saw the original owner's body?

Yan Xining coaxed Bai Tao: "Okay, no matter where I go from now on, I will take you with me, don't worry."
Only then did Bai Tao stop his tears: "It's agreed, go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire, and I will go wherever the young master goes."
Yan Xining changed the subject with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't waste time. Go get another basket, and we'll pick peaches together."
Bai Tao responded, and he hurriedly ran towards the kitchen, but he turned his head after only two steps: "Master, you won't be looking for death in the future, will you?"
Yan Xining couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't worry, your young master will live a long life."
Only then did Bai Tao become happy: "Yes, my young master is such a nice person, he will surely live a long life."
Watching Yan Xining's master and servant speak, Ji Song looked down at his legs.Soon, soon, after a while, he will be able to stand up.When he can stand up, he can move freely in front of Aning.
Before dusk fell, Yan Xining and Bai Tao picked up two large baskets of peaches.The peaches they planted were not as good as those sent by Ji Song, but the taste was not bad.
Especially for peaches that have been soft and rotten, after washing off the sludge, you only need to gently peel off the skin, and the rich juice will burst out.Yan Xining likes soft peaches the most, but unfortunately most of the soft peaches fall to the ground and are badly damaged, so they can only be thrown to chickens to eat.
Yan Xining picked out relatively intact peaches, washed them, and put them in the basket. He called Bai Tao, "Bai Tao, you carry these peaches to the guards."
Bai Tao responded, "Okay."
The remaining peaches were badly damaged, with brown cracks on one side of the tennis ball-sized crisp peaches.Ji Song looked at the peaches and suggested: "Ah Ning, don't eat these peaches, be careful not to eat them."
Since getting his own land deed, Yan Xining is in a good mood, and now he can treat Ji Song with a normal heart.He smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll cut off the bad part later, and then make perilla peach ginger, so that it won't be wasted."
Basil peach ginger is a snack he often eats in summer. It is simple to make, tastes sweet and sour, and has a high value. It is cool and refreshing after chilling.The key is that perilla, peach, and ginger can consume these damaged peaches. As early as when he was picking peaches, he had already figured out what to do with them.
133. Perilla Peach Ginger
Ji Song's lips curled up into a gentle smile: "I'll help you." He had already seen A Ning's ability to turn decay into magic. Before, he just sat quietly and watched A Ning make delicious food, but this time, He wants to be in it.
As he spoke, he steered the wheelchair and rolled to the side of the wooden basin and introduced himself: "I can help remove the broken part."
Ji Song is a master with swords, Yan Xining is happy to have his help, "Okay, then please."
Seeing that Yan Xining didn't reject him, Ji Song's smile deepened, he really liked the feeling of working quietly with Ah Ning.
When Bai Tao came back, he was followed by a dejected Yan Ke, who must have been wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.When the master went to Fuliuyuan, he went to the place where the guards lived, and he told the brothers the real situation of the master and the princess.
Now the brothers are all wilted, each of them is so guilty that they can't lift their heads up, and they dare not go to Wenzhang Garden.Thanks to the fact that they ate so many delicious foods made by the princess, they didn't know what the princess wanted, and they also caused a lot of trouble for the princess.
If Bai Tao hadn't sent Tao Zi, the guards would still be standing in military posture against the wall to reflect.
A big man dares to act bravely, and everyone in the Chi Ling Army is a man.Now that you know you are wrong, you should correct it in time.Yan Ke plucked up his courage and followed Bai Tao's footsteps to Wenzhang Garden. He wanted to apologize to the princess face to face.
It's just that he didn't expect that the master was also in the Wenzhang Garden. The master and the princess were surrounded by wooden basins, one washing peaches and the other peeling peaches.The two cooperated tacitly and talked and laughed, where there was no tense posture before.
Ji Song fished out a peach from Shau Kei. These peaches had been washed several times with clean water, and the fluff on the surface was rubbed with fine salt.After turning the knife around the peaches a few times, the peach skins fell off one after another, revealing the pinkish white flesh. As the knife quickly divided the peaches around, pieces of evenly sized peach flesh fell from the peach pits.
Ji Song's knife was very accurate, and a damaged peach was used to the fullest in his hands.After a while, a pile of fruit pulp was piled up in the wooden basin in front of him, the peach flesh exuded a sweet taste, while he was peeling, he stuffed the peeled peach flesh into his and Yan Xining's mouths.
Yan Xining likes to eat soft peaches, but he has to admit that hard peaches also have a special flavor.The half-ripe peach flesh was crisp and sweet, with Ji Song peeling it beside him, he enjoyed eating it.
Yan Ke: ...
This is different from what he imagined.But he was very happy to see the master and the princess reconciled.
Just when he was about to say something, Ji Song raised his eyes: "Go to the field to pick perilla."
Yan Ke couldn't figure it out, he saluted honestly: "Yes."
Perilla and Huoxiang can be seen everywhere along the path of Pinmeiyuan. These two seasonings are essential seasonings for Yan Xining when cooking fried snails with fish.Yan Ke often sees Baitao pinching off young leaves and shoots, and now he can easily distinguish these two crops.
The leaves of perilla are oval, the front of the leaves is dark green, and some buds can show purple.When you turn over the leaves, you can see the thick deep purple.Pinch a handful of leaves, and your fingers will be stained with the smell of perilla.
After the rain, the basil stretched its leaves, and you can smell a fresh fragrance before you get close.Yan Ke skillfully picked off the young leaves of perilla, and looked sideways at the direction of the eaves from time to time: "Is the master and the princess reconciled?"
Bai Tao rolled his eyes: "How would I know?"
Yan Ke took a breath, and looked Bai Tao up and down: "Why are you talking? So aggressive?"
Bai Tao was holding back his anger: "My young master was almost forced to death by the prince. If I were the young master, I wouldn't want to forgive the prince. That is to say, the young master has a good temper. If someone has a bad temper, he would have already poisoned the food."
Yan Ke was silent when he heard the words, and when he was silent, Bai Tao felt uncomfortable: "Forget it, I'm just saying. Now the prince is very kind to the young master, I hope he can continue to treat the young master well."
In addition to picking perilla, Bai Tao also received another task, which was to pull some ginger back.After several months of growth, the ginger planted in spring has now given birth to young ginger.
Bai Tao didn't like the smell of ginger, let alone eating them, even if he got close to them, he would feel bad smell.However, Bai Tao's movements are extraordinarily gentle when facing the ginger whom he has grown up to serve.
The soil after the rain was extraordinarily soft. When the young ginger with the soil appeared on the ground, Yan Ke opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Is this ginger?" Like the ginger he knew?
At this time, Yan Xining and Ji Song also cut up the peaches, filled a pot full of damaged peach flesh, and after sprinkled with salt, a lot of juice precipitated out.Ji Song casually squeezed a piece of peach flesh and stuffed it into his mouth, the sweet peach flesh was surrounded by a layer of salty taste, it tasted a bit strange, but the taste was okay.
At this time, Yan Ke came back with the cleaned ginger and perilla, and he handed the bamboo basket to Yan Xining: "Princess, do you think this is okay?"
Yan Xining smiled and said, "Very good, thank you Guard Yan."
Yan Ke stood beside Yan Xining with his head depressed, his face flushed a little bit: "Princess, I'm sorry."
Yan Xining:? ? ?
What happened today?Why did the people in Prince Rong's Mansion apologize to him one by one?
Yan Ke took a deep breath and said loudly: "This subordinate presumes the princess's intentions and caused troubles to the princess. On behalf of the 32 guards in the mansion, I sincerely apologize to the princess, I'm sorry!"
Yan Xining: ...
In fact, he really didn't think that Yan Ke and the others did anything wrong. On the contrary, he was very grateful to the guards: "You don't need to apologize to the guards. Well done, you guys helped me a lot."
Yan Ke wanted to say something, but Yan Xining said with a smile: "Just talk about the matter between me and the prince, you don't have to take it to heart."
After hearing Yan Xining's words, Yan Ke didn't feel less guilty, on the contrary he felt even more ashamed.But the concubine said don't take it to heart, he can't hold on to this matter.So Yan Ke decided to use actions to express his apology: "I understand, Princess, is there anything I need to do?"
Yan Xining smiled and said, "Yes, please go to the Yingke Building and bring some food back. I don't want to cook tonight." Before, because of Ji Song, he had to cook three meals a day, although Ji Song is not picky eater, But after a long time, he will also want to try other people's crafts.
Ji Song added: "Remember to bring crispy beef and roast duck." When Ji Liang invited him to dinner, Yan Xining was full of praise for these two dishes.
After Yan Ke left, Yan Xining took out the young ginger. He cut the young ginger into thin, almost transparent slices, and then sprinkled fine salt on it to marinate.The taste of young ginger is not as strong as that of old ginger. After killing the sauce, the spicy ginger taste is much lighter.
The perilla needs to be kneaded into perilla sauce before it can be used. Yan Xining took out a large basin and mixed white vinegar and sugar into the perilla leaves.With rubbing, the perilla leaves released purple-red juice, and a sweet and sour perilla smell flowed under the eaves.
Ji Song looked at the princess who was trying hard to knead the basil, and he said softly, "A-Ning's mother must be very good at cooking." A-Ning grew up in Zhuangzi, and Ji Song felt that there must be someone who is proficient in cooking beside A-Ning .Except for Ah Ning's long-dead mother, Ji Song couldn't think of anyone else.
Yan Xining smiled and said, "Yes." His mother cooks well, and of course, his father's cooking skills are not bad either.
Ji Song looked at Yan Xining seriously: "Does Ah Ning want to welcome her mother's tablet to the palace?"
Yan Xining was stunned, he didn't realize it for a while: "What?"
Ji Song repeated: "I heard that Yan Shangshu did not put your mother's memorial tablet in the Yan family mourning hall. If you want, you can open a small mourning hall in the palace to enshrine your mother's memorial tablet."
In Chu and Liao, concubines had no status. They could not be buried with their husbands after death, and they could not even enter the ancestral hall.In the big family, there will be a special mourning hall dedicated to these concubines.
However, Yan Xining's mother came from a brothel, and her status was inferior to that of a concubine, and she was unable to enter the gate of Yan's mansion until she died.After she died, Yan Boyong buried her body directly on the mountain near Zhuangzi where she was placed.
Yan Xining shook her head after hearing the words. In the original owner's memory, he was not treated kindly by Yan Boyong, nor was he treated kindly by his own mother.He only knew that his mother's nickname was Mannia, and she was a crazy and paranoid person.She likes to drink, and when she gets drunk, she will take out her anger on the original owner.Therefore, after Mannia died, the original owner only felt relieved.
Yan Xining felt that this kind of woman was not worthy of being enshrined by him, so he said softly: "Let her sleep forever in the mountains, where it will be pure."
Ji Song nodded slightly: "Alright."
The perilla sauce was kneaded quickly, and the perilla leaves had turned into black lumps at this time.Yan Xining washed the peaches and ginger slices again, and then mixed them into the perilla sauce.Just such a perilla, peach, and ginger is just short of the last step. Just put the container in an ice bucket and freeze it overnight, and you can enjoy this unique summer delicacy tomorrow.
The thought of him being able to eat cool snacks in the scorching sun and lying in the Wenzhang Garden guarding the ice bucket made Yan Xining feel extremely happy.
At this time, Steward Leng came to report: "Master, the Fifth Highness has come to the palace. He said that he was entrusted to visit the master and the princess."
Ji Song was very surprised. Ji Yu seldom went to other prince's mansions, but when he came to Prince Rong's mansion suddenly, Ji Song always felt that something was wrong.It may be because Ji Yu's status as the young minister of Dali Temple made him alert. Could it be that Yan Ke and the others were not good at doing things, and Mo Le's body was found?
After thinking for a while, Ji Song said to Yan Xining, "I'll go see him."
Yan Xining wiped his hands and said, "I'll go with you." No matter what happened between him and Ji Song, what he promised Ji Song would not change.In front of outsiders, they are the loving husband and wife Rong Wang.
Who can ask the Fifth Prince to visit them?Could it be Emperor Pingyuan?But Emperor Pingyuan had Eunuch Yang by his side, and he had never liked Ji Yu, so how could he let Ji Yu visit them?
