[Comprehensive martial arts] Hundreds of no taboos

The courtyard where I live with Chen Jiaoniang is divided into upper and lower rooms, the upper room is used for living, and the lower room is used for storing things. The space is spacious. Originally, when I was not here, she lived in the room on the east side of the upper room, so I can’t blame her Me, this room is separated from Zhan Zhao's next door by a wall.

The wall connecting the two courtyards is twice as thick. To her, this wall only played a symbolic role. Maybe she couldn’t hear the sound even if she was close to her ears, but it was different for me.

I took a few sips from the teacup on the table, and heard Zhan Zhao's shallow breathing next door.

When I was listening to the corner, I heard people say that Zhan Zhao has a bad habit. As long as it is not his turn to be on duty in the palace, his work and rest are always upside down day and night. Maybe he likes to walk around at night, sometimes practicing Jian, sometimes go out for a walk, go to patrol the streets after lunch, close the door to sleep when you have nothing to do after patrolling the streets, and then get up again at night, and so on.

He is still sleeping soundly, which means that the commotion caused by Chen Jiaoniang is not big, at least it didn't go to Mr. Bao or Mr. Gongsun. I can tell at a glance that this person likes Chen Jiaoniang, and I don't know if it's because he is too obvious or because my eyesight is too good.

I tidied the bed, scattered all the things I bought during the day on the bed, picked up a dress with broken yellow flowers on a white background, and gestured a few times on my body, then looked at another dress with moon white embroidered with plain lotus, and decided Try both.

Ready-made clothes are a bit too big for me. Even if I am of the right height, I will wear them empty. I put on two more underwear inside. After looking in the mirror for a long time, I found that the one with broken yellow flowers is more suitable for me. .

I like gold, but I don't like jewelry made of gold. It will make my hair, which is not very good in color, look like hay. In front of the half-length vanity mirror, I feel much better looking.

I also dug out a box of rouge from the innermost part of the bag, it was from Cuixianzhai, and it cost me 50 taels of silver.

My heart beat like a thief when I bought Rouge.

I have never worn rouge before.

I put my face close to the vanity mirror and dabbed a little rouge with my finger on my lips. This box of rouge is peach-blossom red with a little bit of beautiful water.

The blue and white lips were covered little by little by the water of peach blossoms. My movement was a little bigger, and the corners of my mouth were immediately smudged, but it still looked good.I don't really understand why the whole complexion looks completely different after just smearing a little color.

But I am very happy.

I also took out a few pieces of Qingshidai, which were placed at the bottom, and dyed the light-colored bundles black.

I looked at Qingshidai and felt a little helpless, I don't know how to draw eyebrows.

I hesitated for a while whether to call Chen Jiaoniang to draw my eyebrows for me. After all, her eyebrows are very beautiful. However, I am also a person who wants to save face. After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. , with a slightly pointed hair, traced a few times along the sparse eyebrow shape, and traced two curved eyebrows.

……good.

I wiped the corners of my mouth that were stained with rouge, looked in the mirror for a while, and felt that I had never been so satisfied with this face.

There was some movement from the next door, it was Zhan Zhao who woke up.

I went to the yard to fetch a bucket of water to wash my hands. When I came back, Zhan Zhao had just finished washing. I happily climbed over the high wall, and sure enough I saw Zhan Zhao standing in the yard with a sword in his hand.

He was a little surprised to see me, so I tugged at the corner of my skirt and said to him with a smile, "Do I look good like this?"

Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose and said, "It seems like a different person."

I just thought he was praising me.

Zhan Zhao asked me to wait, he entered the room by himself, and came out with two swords in his hands, one was his own Juque sword that he had already held in his hand, and the other was a little more ordinary , but it looks thicker than the sword that catches the head, I raised my eyebrows.

Zhan Zhao said: "Yesterday, the girl competed with Zhan with her internal Qi Yushuzhi. After all, she had two purposes, and it was difficult to display her full strength. This sword was bestowed by the government at a certain time. Although it is not as good as Juque, it is also a master of the previous dynasty. This work is very durable, and I hope the girl will accept it."

I don't really like carrying those knives and swords, one has no place to put it, and the other is very heavy, but it was given by Zhan Zhao, so I took it without saying a word.

A smile flashed in Zhan Zhao's eyes.

I really like watching Zhan Zhao smile, just like the spring breeze melts the ice and snow, and the mountains and wild flowers bloom, people will feel better when they see it, and even raise the corners of their mouths unconsciously.

I originally thought that Zhan Zhao gave me the sword because he wanted to compete with me, but he said slowly, "The moon is bright and the stars are thin, the autumn is high and the air is crisp. Do you want to go out with Zhan for a stroll?"

One hundred want.

I happily went back and put the sword away, and went out with Zhan Zhao.

The curfew in the Tang Dynasty was very strict, and it was only lively two or three times during the festivals. The curfew in the Song Dynasty was in vain. It was only forbidden until the third watch at night, and it became lively again on the fifth watch. No, the outside is even more busy.

Zhan Zhao didn't wear an official uniform, but wore an ordinary blue shirt with a sword. He looked like a young knight who had just entered the arena. Under the shadow of overlapping lights, his handsome face was even more dazzling.

The crowd came and went, most of the people traveling together were holding hands, afraid of being scattered, I walked beside Zhan Zhao, and I looked curiously at the beautiful lanterns displayed in front of the stalls.

"Are these lanterns available every day?" I asked in surprise.

The corners of Zhan Zhao's mouth turned up, and he said, "Festive lanterns are rarely broken here. If they are broken, it's not troublesome to make a few more. It just costs money for burning candles, and most merchants in Bianjing don't take it seriously."

Bianjing is Kaifeng.

I found that this world is still very good, at least there are so many lanterns every day, and there is such excitement every day.

After crossing Hongqiao, Zhan Zhao took me to a noodle stall, found an empty table and sat down, and said to the old woman selling noodle: "Ms. Lai, here is a bowl of wontons and a bowl of fish soup. What would Miss Qi eat?" ?”

I also want a bowl of wontons.

Aunt Lai looked five or sixty years old, her hair was more disheveled than mine, but she wore a headscarf on her head. I noticed that although her hands looked rough, her nails were cut very cleanly. white flour.

There were not many customers at the noodle stall at the moment, and Aunt Lai was slicing the fish quickly, while she said to Zhan Zhao with a bit of reproach: "It's you again! Every day for your bowl of fish soup, the old woman will order one." It’s good to buy fish early in the morning, and you’re afraid it won’t be fresh if it’s put out late, if you don’t come for two or three days, I’m afraid the old lady’s house won’t have any fish to eat.”

Zhan Zhao said with a smile, "Ma'am wronged me. Without my bowl of fish soup, wouldn't Madam send the little six to a private school? Besides, children eat more fish and are smarter, so they can become high-ranking officials in the future."

Aunt Lai was overjoyed, and added a lot of fish to Zhan Zhao's fish fillet soup, and even picked out the spines.

I put my face in my hands and listened to them. After a while, Mrs. Lai brought up the fish soup. She glanced at me and asked Zhan Zhao: "Master Zhan, is this the girl doll you brought? Oh, how old is it?" Already?"

Zhan Zhao didn't know what he thought of, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't think about it, auntie, this girl Qi is ten years older than the little six, so she is not a good match."

I grinned at Mrs. Lai, pointed at Mrs. Lai, and said, "Look, Mrs. Lai, I'm not as good as him?"

Aunt Lai still hesitated about my age, but she couldn't help laughing when she heard what I said, and coaxed me and said, "Good match, good match."

After talking, I went to make wontons.

Zhan Zhao said helplessly, "Miss Qi, have you always been so proactive?"

I probably understood what he meant, and my eyes were bent. He is really a very good person. He thought he misunderstood me. As compensation, he was willing to do what he promised me before and get along with me for a while, but this kind of getting along In his consciousness, he should be in charge, after all, most of the relationships between men and women are like this.

It's just that I'm not used to it.

If I were to be like Chen Jiaoniang, who clearly loves you very much, and misses unrequited love through a wall every day, but dare not express my heart to the person I like loudly, I will not be able to bear such a day, unless I am sure that this man is gone. My heart belongs, otherwise as long as I like it, I have the courage to fight for it.

The wontons were cooked very quickly, and they were served in a short while. Aunt Lai originally wanted to chat with us for a while, but when the number of customers gradually increased, she waved her hand and went to work.

Zhan Zhao watched me move my chopsticks, and then took a sip of the fish soup. Those beautiful eyes bent into crescent moons contentedly. The hot air slightly blurred his face. Looking at him, I felt a kind of The long-lost world of fireworks.

Aunt Lai’s wontons are delicious. The wonton wrappers are very thin, and they soften when you sip it lightly. All the way warm into the stomach.

After eating the wontons, Zhan Zhao and I walked side by side along the Bian River counting the river lights. I still held a bunch of hawthorn candy balls in my hand, a bunch of three sugar balls wrapped in shiny rock sugar, which looked delicious .

Zhan Zhao thanked me indifferently for this, and kindly reminded me: "You can throw away the layer of rock sugar on the outside after eating, and the inside is very sour, very sour."

He used two in a row and it was very sour.

I became cautious and stuck out my tongue to lick it. It tasted very sweet like rock candy, with a little fruity aroma.

A gust of night wind blows, bringing with it the coolness of autumn, I close my eyes slightly, hold the sugar ball in one hand, and press my heart with the other hand, suddenly I feel that all my troubles are blown away by this gust of wind. Unprecedented ease and joy.

Zhan Zhao's pace slowed down a bit, and he said softly, "I like this very much."

He only said this sentence, and didn't say anything else. It was a bit rambling, but I understood it. I nodded and said in an affirmative tone: "I like this too."
