Chapter 311 Rouge
The sky is filled with sunset glow, and the wind blows the gauze curtain gently.
When Cui Si opened her eyes, it was already dusk and sunset. The rosy glow of the sunset fell on the yard, making it bright red everywhere.
At this moment, she was lying on the beauty's seat in the square pavilion in the garden, covered with a thin satin blanket embroidered with crabapple flowers, and her head was resting on Yan Xingchuan's legs.
He half leaned on the backrest of the beauty chair, holding a handful of fish food in his hand, and casually threw the fish food one by one into the fish pond facing the pavilion. The wind blew on his face, and he squinted slightly with a smile on his face.
Noticing she was awake, he scattered the fish food in his hand into the pond, clapped his hands, and then wiped them on his clothes, pretending he had done nothing and asked, "Are you awake?"
Cui Si rubbed her eyes, came back to her senses, and struggled to get up.
Yan Xingchuan reached out to help her up, then stood up and poured her a cup of warm tea on the stone table in the pavilion, handed it to her, and she took it and drank it, and then she felt completely awake.
"Why did I fall asleep?"
She still remembered that she was in a good mood today. She took him to visit the new house. In the end, she felt a little tired, so she sat in the pavilion. The wind was blowing very comfortably here, so she wanted to take a nap.
I fell asleep unexpectedly.
Yan Xingchuan reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then said, "Maybe you're a little tired. It would be good to get some sleep."
"Then why am I sleeping on you?" She turned her head to look at him.
"Oh... well..." Yan Xingchuan coughed, then said, "I saw your neck was uncomfortable sleeping like this, so I put a cushion for you. Ah Si, is your neck sore?"
Cui Si reached out and patted her neck, rubbed it, and found nothing serious, so she shook her head.
She turned around to look at the sunset and thought it was beautiful, so she said to him, "How about we set up the banquet here today?"
"The sunset is so beautiful. How pleasant it would be to have someone bring a pot of good wine. By the way, are you busy?"
Shangguan Tong left Piaomiao City. Now all the affairs of Piaomiao City should be handed over to him. Perhaps he had let them go before, and many things in Beiyan also need to be handled by him.
Unlike before, many things were decided by Shangguan Tong himself. Small matters were arranged directly, and big matters were taken for him to take a look and only arranged if there were no problems.
"Not busy." Yan Xingchuan immediately shook his head. "The military advisor had already arranged for a Zhitong to handle many of Miaozhou's affairs. After the army left Miaozhou, he would be appointed as the governor. Now is the perfect time to hand over the affairs to him."
"There's nothing urgent that I need to deal with right now. If there is, Yun Gang will send it over."
"It's best if you're not busy. Let's drink some today."
Yanzhi has not been idle these days in Piaomiao City. After buying the house, she quickly arranged for maids, chefs and others. Now it is time for dinner. Seeing that she woke up, she immediately ordered the chef to prepare dinner.
In less than two quarters of an hour, dishes were served one after another, and at the end Yanzhi personally brought a pot of wine.
"This is a fine new wine from Piaomiao City. It's called Rouge Red. It's the color of red amber and has a mellow taste with a hint of sweetness. Madam, you can try it."
Yanzhi took the wine glass and poured wine for the two of them. Cui Si looked up and saw that the wine was indeed like red and transparent amber. The aroma of the wine spread out, and the taste was like the fragrance of flowers and fruits.
Cui Si picked up the white jade wine cup, sniffed it carefully, and agreed repeatedly: "It is indeed very fragrant. The color is also beautiful."
Although the wine looks like carmine, it is not a deep red. Instead, it is a carmine red like crystal amber, which is very beautiful.
She took a sip, and the aroma of the wine spread around her lips and teeth. The wine tasted sweet but not strong, like flower wine or fruit wine, but the flower wine and fruit wine were a little lighter, and she always felt that she could not taste it. This wine was sweet and soft, which was really rare.
Cui Si immediately instructed Yanzhi, "Tell someone to buy more tomorrow and bring it back to Xianyang for Grandmother to taste."
Yanzhi nodded immediately: "Then tomorrow I will ask someone to buy a few more jars."
After Yanzhi served the wine, she bowed and left. Soon, there were only two people left in the pavilion.
Cui Si held the wine, sipping it slowly, seeming very satisfied. Yan Xingchuan also tasted it. The taste was a bit sweet and not strong enough for other men, but it was just right for him.
And the taste is also strange, like the fragrance of flowers and fruits, some of it is hard to tell the difference, which makes people curious and want to distinguish it, so they taste it again and again.
After two cups, he still couldn't tell what the taste was.
Cui Si squinted her eyes, picked up a piece of steamed fish, and ate it happily.
The steamed fish is slightly fried on the outside, with a crispy skin and delicious inside. The sauce is also excellent. Dip the fish in the sauce and take a bite, and you will be filled with crispy, tender and smooth flavor.
"Not bad, not bad. Miaozhou's chefs are indeed very skilled in cooking fish."
Half of Miaozhou's border is surrounded by the Piaomiao River, and the thing it has the most is fish. The chefs are really good at cooking fish, especially steamed fish, which requires great skills.
This is good.
Seeing Yan Xingchuan still tasting the wine, she called him, "Try it too. I personally ordered this dish today."
Because she had acquired a new house today, and also because she knew that Shen Sui was going to be in trouble, Cui Si planned to celebrate and prepared eight dishes and a soup. If Yan Xingchuan had not come today, what she would have eaten with him would have been Rouge Song Green.
Yan Xingchuan nodded, drank the wine in his glass, then picked up his chopsticks and said to her, "Piaomiao City does have a lot of good food. If you're not in a hurry to go home, stay a few more days and try it."
Everyone has his own responsibilities. Before, Yan Xingchuan could entrust many things to Shangguan Tong, but Shangguan Tong is not in Miaozhou now, so he has to stay and take charge. Before Shangguan Tong leaves, he probably cannot leave Miaozhou easily.
And she came to Miaozhou this time to see her two brothers Cui Jing and Cui Yi. Now that she has met them, she might leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Once she left, the two of them didn't know when they would meet again.
Yan Xingchuan was reluctant to let her go, but he didn't know how to keep her.
Cui Si murmured "hmm".
Yan Xingchuan was stunned, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
He asked again: "Do you really want to stay a few more days?"
"What? You don't welcome me?" Cui Si reached out and poured herself a glass of wine, then refilled his. "It's a rare opportunity to come out, and Piaomiao City isn't as dangerous as Rong'an Town. It's not bad to stay a few days longer, just like going out for fun."
"Welcome, of course I welcome you." Yan Xingchuan nodded immediately. "I'll have someone check out what delicious food and fun things to do in the city tomorrow, and I'll go with you to see them then."
"Then you have to be free."
"I'm free. Since I'm accompanying you, I'm naturally free."
