Chapter 329 Sister, do you like it?
In April, the spring flowers wither, and the peonies and peonies bloom in full bloom.
Yan Xingchuan got a lot of peony pots from somewhere and placed them in the yard, including a huge king peony.
The branches and leaves of the Peony King grow in clusters, and the peony flowers as big as bowls are in full bloom, bending the branches.
This cluster of peonies has about twenty or thirty flowers in full bloom and buds about to bloom.
Cui Si also liked this bunch of peonies very much. She found a sunny afternoon, set up an easel under the corridor, and wanted to keep this peony on the scroll forever.
The sun was setting in the west. Yan Xingchuan returned home from outside and saw her sitting in the corridor painting. He walked over quickly and turned his head to look at her.
Cui Si pushed his head away and said, "If you want to look, go ahead. But please don't get in my way, okay?"
Yan Xingchuan smiled and said, "Do you like this peony?"
Cui Si said, "A peony this big must have been nurtured for at least ten or twenty years. It's a rare treasure. You can only see it when you're in Piaomiao City. It will be hard to see it again in the future."
"By the way, I've already finished revising the defense map today and have it in my study. I've also finished writing a new book."
The issue of the defense line is also one of the important things in Northern Yan today. Although Cui Si does not have much experience in this area, she is knowledgeable. After looking at it, she did find a few places that could be modified.
So when she had time, she would revise it and finish the book she had written halfway along the way.
A new book is about ecological circular farming, which combines farming and animal husbandry, and perhaps intercropping and rotation between different crops to achieve the best farming methods.
“What’s the new book about?”
"Planting." Cui Si didn't even raise her head. Perhaps she knew nothing about these things before she traveled through time, but after being the queen mother for so many years, she had plenty of time to experiment and pick out the best farming method.
"It's the second volume of the previous book, adapted to local conditions." Cui Si paused and asked him, "Have you arranged for anyone to implement the books I gave you?"
"Of course there are." Yan Xingchuan said immediately, "After I got these books last year, I asked people to select a location. This year, spring plowing has already begun in many places, but the time is too short to see any results in a short time."
Cui Si nodded with satisfaction. She didn't want to work, but she also hoped that Beiyan would be better.
After drawing the last leaf, she put the brush into the inkwell and was about to get up.
Yan Xingchuan reached out and helped her up, then looked at the peony bushes in the yard and said to her, "If you like it, I'll take it with me wherever we go in the future."
Cui Si shook her head upon hearing this: "The climate varies from place to place. It's growing well in Piaomiao City, so why move it somewhere else? If it can't adapt, it might die."
"We should respect its way of survival and not take it to a place that is not suitable for its survival just for our own selfish reasons, right?"
Yan Xingchuan nodded and didn't discuss this with her anymore. Instead, he invited her, "It's still early today, how about going out for a walk? There are some people singing and dancing at Fengxue Tower in the city, let's go and see them."
Cui Si looked at him from outside and blinked: "Why, you want to go and see? You have nothing to do today, so you want to go to the brothel and listen to music?"
"Of course not." Yan Xingchuan denied it outright. "I just wanted to join in the fun with you. Why, you don't want to go?"
"Of course."
It is actually boring to stay at home every day. When she is free on weekdays, Cui Si likes to go out for a walk, have a meal in this restaurant, drink tea in that teahouse and listen to storytelling. She is naturally happy to see something lively.
And since he was willing to go with her, there was no reason for her to refuse.
When Yan Xingchuan heard that she was going, he immediately arranged the rest of the itinerary: "Then I'll go change my clothes, and we'll have dinner outside today."
Finally, he looked at the painting again and said, "Put it aside for a few days, and I'll frame it for you."
The previous batch of paintings had been framed long ago. It must be said that although his craftsmanship was not as good as those of the old craftsmen, it was still pretty good. Cui Si was also satisfied after seeing them.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled when she heard this: "Then I don't have to find someone to frame it."
Yan Xingchuan changed into a dark green robe with a cross-lapel, and then put on a black mask with a crane and cloud pattern.
After putting it on, he walked in front of her and asked her, "How is it? Can you recognize it?"
Cui Si looked at him carefully and finally said, "People who know you well should be able to recognize you. Those who rarely see you probably won't be able to recognize you, but..."
"But what?"
"But it's really strange for you to wear a mask. If you stand in the street, you might attract everyone's attention." Cui Si rolled her eyes and suddenly said,
"How about this, you wear women's clothes and wear a veil like me, then no one will notice you, let alone recognize you."
It is normal for women to wear veils and hats when going out. There are many of them on the streets and they are not conspicuous at all.
Yan Xingchuan: “…”
He reached out and pinched her face, pretending to be angry: "You actually asked me to wear women's clothes?"
Cui Si sighed, "Be gentle, it hurts when you pinch my face."
"It hurts, but I don't feel any pain." Who would suggest letting their husband wear women's clothes? Doesn't he care about his reputation?
Cui Si smiled and reached out to pull his sleeve: "Are you angry?"
"No, how dare I be angry with you."
Cui Si laughed again: "But I think you look good in a skirt. I haven't seen one before. And if you wear a skirt, I will call you sister when we get outside. Sister, do you like it?"
The more she spoke, the brighter her eyes became, and the more she thought it was a good idea: "Sister, Sister Yan, do you like it?"
Yan Xingchuan: “…”
I have to say, it sounds pretty exciting.
Yan Xingchuan suddenly reached out and picked her up horizontally, then walked towards the dormitory: "You want to call me sister, right? I'll let you call me as much as you want."
Cui Si had originally wanted to tease him, but she didn't expect him to be so impatient. He quickly struggled to get down: "Hey, put me down. Didn't you say you were going to listen to music and enjoy dancing?"
"No, I see you prefer calling me sister, so call me that more often."
Yanzhi and Songlu watched the whole process in the yard: "..."
Song Lu bit his finger, puzzled: "Do you think the master likes the lady to call him sister or not?"
Yanzhi choked at these words and quickly covered her mouth: "Forget about it, and don't ask anymore."
Song Lu uttered an "oh," not understanding the strange behavior between the two masters, but she asked Yanzhi again, "Are we still going out? The carriage is ready, and Yun Gang and the others are waiting."
Are you still going?
Yanzhi said she didn’t know either.
That depends on how long the two masters continue to quarrel.
Yanzhi thought for a moment and said, "Go tell Yun Gang that the master and his wife have something to do, and ask him to wait for a while."
