Chapter 523 Being a Child
General Yan wanted to find out what was in the capital, and this actually made his granddaughter look forward to returning to the capital.
Compared to the capital, my granddaughter clearly likes this place better.
But before he could ask, the deputy general called him away.
Although the Dongyi people seemed to have been beaten into obedience, who knew if they were still planning something bad in private.
It was the same in the past. Every time the Dongyi people caused trouble on the border and Daliang wanted to take real action, they would beg for mercy.
But next time, they will continue to do it.
This is also why General Yan did not stop Yan Yan.
A dog will always eat shit. Not only do we have to scare the Dongyi people once and for all, but we also have to continue to be careful and guard against them.
This time they are going back to the capital, so they have to arrange things here first.
To avoid any trouble.
General Yan thought seriously about His Majesty's summons for them to return to the capital, and decided to set off immediately after settling down here.
It just so happens that Qingming Festival is coming soon.
This time when I go back, I can not only get together with my family, but also pay homage to the ancestors of the Yan family.
Yan Yan returned to his tent, poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
According to my grandfather, we should set off tomorrow.
It's time to pack my luggage soon, so as not to be too rushed.
Fortunately, she didn't have much stuff, so it didn't take much time to pack.
Calculating the time, if they rushed back to the capital as fast as they could, they would be able to catch up with the Qingming Festival.
This time when I go back, I’m sure the Food Street and Yipintang will offer many more delicious foods.
Maybe there are special foods for Qingming Festival.
My grandfather hasn't returned to Beijing for several years. He will definitely be surprised when he goes back this time.
Maybe after tasting the delicious food in the capital, he will be reluctant to return to the southwest.
Thinking of the delicious food in the capital, Yan Yan put down the teacup, took out the dagger he carried with him, looked at it, and a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Although she was in the southwest, she still knew something about things in the northwest.
I heard that when the Dongyi and Chen people joined forces to kidnap Shen Huazheng, it was that dagger that saved her.
It seems that it was right to give them the dagger as a return gift.
It was only fitting that the woman carried a sharp dagger for self-defense.
Come to think of it, Shen Huazheng and the other two had a strong affinity with her.
This time, Dongyi and Chen State joined forces to stir up trouble in Daliang. While she was dealing with the Dongyi people in the southwest, Chen Huazheng and the other two were also in the northwest helping General Xie and others deal with the spies sent by Dongyi to Daliang.
Although the two events did not happen at the same time or in the same place, they still gave Yan Yan a very subtle feeling.
It seemed that Shen Huazheng and the other two were her comrades-in-arms, fighting alongside her at the time.
In fact, it is not wrong to think so. After all, they did work together to protect the safety of the people of Daliang and eliminate the threats posed by Dongyi and Chen State to Daliang.

“A-choo!”
A gust of wind blew, and Shen Huazheng suddenly sneezed.
Everyone who was enjoying the scenery or talking to people around them immediately looked towards her with concern.
"Zheng'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Zheng'er, do you feel cold? Why don't you put on some more clothes?"
"Zheng'er, mother will ask someone to get you a cloak."
Princess Lejia quickly asked someone to pour a cup of tea: "Zhengzheng, are you feeling well? How about a cup of hot tea first?"
Today, a group of them came to Yunxia Mountain to have some fun in the spring.
We can’t let Zheng Zheng catch a cold here.
Shen Huazheng shook her head at everyone's worried gazes: "I'm fine, I just sneezed suddenly."
Only after confirming that she was really fine did everyone feel relieved.
But Zhou still asked someone to get the cloak, as they would go boating on the lake soon.
Although it is spring and the sun is shining brightly, the lake water is still a little cold.
It is better to prepare a cloak to prevent your precious daughter from catching a cold.
It was spring, and the day when Chen Huazheng and the other two made an appointment to go on a spring outing happened to be a holiday.
The Shen family, the Zhou family and Song Ye also came to Yunxia Mountain together.
Even Princess Yi'an and Marquis Wenxin's family joined in the outing, not wanting to waste this beautiful spring time.
They came over after breakfast, and the preparations were very complete, including food, drinks and other useful things.
The plan for this spring outing has been arranged. After arriving at Yunxia Mountain, we will first cruise on the lake and then have lunch by the lake.
Song Ye sat on the boat, feeling the sunshine on his body, feeling extremely comfortable.
Zhou Ying handed over a bamboo tube: "Ye'er, this is the Polygonatum, Almond and Snow Pear milk tea that your mother made for you. It clears away heat and moisturizes the lungs."
Song Ye took the bamboo tube with a smile: "Thank you, mother."
Zhou Ying also smiled: "Why are you being so polite to your mother? You are usually either in the Imperial College or at home studying. You rarely have time to go out and play. Now that you are at Yunxia Mountain, you must take a good look around."
Song Ye is too well-behaved, and Zhou Ying always feels that she owes him something.
In the past, she was stuck in a dead end and ignored Song Ye’s growth needs.
Now she is only thinking about making up for it, wishing she could make up for all the losses in Song Ye’s childhood at once.
Song Ye nodded: "Don't worry, mother. The weather is so good today, and my son finally got to go out for fun. He will definitely have a good time before going back."
Although the mother has slowly gotten over the shadow of the past, she still feels guilty about him.
He knew that his mother had been trying to do something to make up for the past.
At the beginning, his mother was cautious with him.
He even blamed himself for the fact that he was forced to grow up so quickly since childhood, which was why he felt so guilty.
But he never blamed his mother.
Everything that happened in the past has nothing to do with my mother.
Not only that, it is his mother's warm companionship that has never disappeared that has always supported him to move forward.
Song Ye inserted the reed straw into the bamboo tube and took a sip of the Polygonatum odoratum almond and pear milk tea.
The milk tea is sweet and refreshing, flowing down your throat, with a rich aroma of fruit and almonds.
If you taste it carefully, you can also smell the faint fragrance of Polygonatum.
Every bite brings joy to the heart, and every bite is indescribably refreshing.
Song Ye took another sip of milk tea in a good mood. The milk tea prepared by his mother was very suitable for drinking in spring.
Sweet, warm, and very comfortable to drink.
His mother wanted him to be a child, so he acted like a child.
However, it actually feels pretty good to be a child in front of your mother and family members who care about you.
The boat glided slowly on the lake. Shen Huazheng and her family drank tea while looking at the lake and the scenery in the distance.
A breeze blew across the lake, bringing a slight coolness that slowly fell on the body.
Accompanied by the warm spring sun, people do not feel cold, but feel very comfortable.
On another boat, Shen Huazheng was also drinking tea quietly, feeling the comfort of spring.
Since there were quite a lot of people coming this time, it was a huge group, so they sat separately on the boat.
The Shen family had one boat, the Zhou family and Song Ye had one boat, and Princess Lejia and Princess Yi'an and their family had one boat.
Shen Huazheng took a sip of tea and looked at the scenery in the distance.
The scenery here at Yunxia Mountain is beautiful, and even the air is fresher.
Shen Keheng also took a sip of tea and sighed, "Yunxia Mountain is indeed a great place to visit in the capital. Just swimming in the lake here makes me feel refreshed."
During this period, he was forced to study hard in the room every day, and he was going crazy.
It was clearly the season of spring with flowers blooming, but he felt like he was going to moldy.
Today I can finally take a break from those annoying books and go out for some fun.
This is a rare opportunity, so he must relax.
Zheng'er is really nice. She knew that he had been very busy recently, so she specially invited everyone to go on a spring outing.
I am so moved, woooooo~~
Shen Kesi smiled softly: "As long as you don't read books and don't have to complete the homework assigned by the teacher, you will feel refreshed."
If he wasn't keeping an eye on his younger brother, who knows where he would go every day.
Shen Keheng curled his lips. Why did his second brother mention books and the homework assigned by the teacher for no reason?
My good mood was ruined.
Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, you guys have worked hard studying on weekdays. Since we are out to play today, don't think about other things, just have fun."
It is a good thing for children to study hard, but people can't be too tense and need to take proper breaks.
Otherwise it's easy to have problems.
In her opinion, the children are good enough.
Of course, the best one is her little daughter.
Not only excellent, but also filial.
Chen Huazheng also took out the food box: "Yes, Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, please try the snacks I prepared."
Shen Keheng's nose felt sore and tears almost came out.
Mom and sister are still the best.
Shen Keting had been sitting quietly by the side, watching the intimate interaction between his family members with a smile on his face.
When Shen Zhaonian heard that there was something delicious to eat, he immediately put down his teacup.
"Zheng'er, what delicious food did you bring?"
The three brothers Shen Keting, Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng also looked at the food box in front of Shen Huazheng, wanting to know what snacks she brought out.
Although Shen Huazheng often prepares some fresh food at home, Shen Zhaonian and his sons are not at home all the time and occasionally miss some delicious food.
In the entire Shen family, Zhou is basically the only one who can taste all of Shen Huazheng's cooking skills.
Including some food that Shen Huazheng made on a whim.
This time during the spring outing, there will most likely be snacks that they have never eaten before.
Seeing that her husband and son were equally greedy, Zhou couldn't help but shook her head.
They are indeed father and son, why are they both so greedy?
However, she was also very curious about what Zheng'er would bring.
Under the watchful eyes of her family, Shen Huazheng opened the first food box.
This food box is very big, with four layers in total.
The first layer was the tea cakes they had eaten before, both sweet and salty.
The second layer is Qingtuan, which is also sweet and salty.
The third layer is a somewhat unfamiliar dessert, shaped like a lotus bud about to bloom, elegant and beautiful.
The fourth layer is preserved fruits to relieve the greasiness.
Chen Huazheng pointed at the lotus-shaped snack and introduced it: "This is lotus pastry. Like other snacks, it is best eaten with tea."
Lotus crisps?
Everyone stared at the dim sum in front of Shen Huazheng. The name was quite appropriate.
The snacks were very exquisite, there were pink, yellow, green and purple ones.
It's like a pleasing picture.
Chen Keting: "Zheng'er, do these lotus cakes have different flavors?"
According to their understanding of Shen Huazheng, sometimes food is made into different shapes or colors in order to better distinguish different flavors.
Take tea cakes for example. Although they all look like round little dumplings, it is difficult to tell the difference whether they are sweet or salty just from the appearance.
But if you look carefully, you will find that the sweet tea cake is light pink, and the salty one is white.
Presumably, there was a reason why Shen Huazheng made the lotus pastry in different colors.
Shen Huazheng smiled and said, “Brother is really smart.”
As she spoke, she pointed at the lotus crisps in the food box.
"The green petals are flavored with matcha, and the yellow stamens are made with pumpkin juice. The pink petals are made with peach juice, and the filling is made of white kidney bean bean paste. And the purple petals are made with purple rice..."
Everyone in the Shen family: (￣﹃￣)
It sounds delicious.
It turns out that flowers should be eaten in spring.
After Chen Huazheng introduced the lotus crisps, she opened the second food box.
Shen Keheng was excited. It seemed that he would be able to eat a lot of delicious food made by Zheng'er today.
On the other two boats, Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying also opened their food boxes.
Princess Yi'an and Marquis Wenxin's family looked at the various snacks in the food boxes and felt that they were dazzled.
Princess Yinghua is truly an expert in gourmet food. She can make so many different kinds of dim sum.
No wonder the food court has specially launched special spring snack gift boxes. These snacks look very suitable for eating in the spring time.
It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also has a sense of vitality.
It makes people happy just by looking at it.
Jiang Xi swallowed his saliva. No wonder Aning said that we don't need to eat too much for breakfast. She also said that there are delicious foods here.
It turns out that so many snacks were prepared.
Zhou Ying also pointed at the food box in front of her: "This box is full of snacks stuffed with chicken ying. This is chicken ying soft pancake, this is chicken ying crispy corner, chicken ying bread..."
Zhou family members: (*^_^*)
Each one looks delicious, but I don’t know which one to start with.
Master Zhou held the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly.
As the fresh and mellow tea soup takes a sip, the refreshing scent instantly spreads between your lips and tongue.
Although I was sitting in the boat, I could still feel the subtle soft light coming in.
So comfortable.
This is a spring outing, this is life.
Alas, what kind of days did we live in the past.
Fortunately, I am not too old now, so it is not too late to enjoy myself.
Zhou Ying handed a pair of chopsticks to Song Ye and said softly, "Ye'er, try this chicken pancake. It's made by mother."
Song Ye reached out and took the chopsticks: "Thank you, mother."
As he spoke, he picked up a chicken pancake with chopsticks, brought it to his mouth and took a bite.
Under Zhou Ying's earnest gaze, Song Ye swallowed the chicken-shaped soft pancake in his mouth.
"Very delicious. The crust is soft and chewy. The filling is sweet but not greasy, with a rich egg flavor. My son likes it very much."
Zhou Ying was extremely happy to see that Song Ye liked the snacks she made.
"If you like, eat more. If you like snacks stuffed with chicken, I'll make them for you often."
Song Ye smiled: "Okay."
