Aunt Qin Er did not give the new cloth to Erya. She had to hide it. As a mother, she would not use her daughter's things. She would use them when they were useful. However, she would use her own cloth to make clothes. She could brag about it after making the clothes. She was happy every time she saw the envious eyes and sour tone of the villagers. Of course, she could brag not only in the village, but also in her mother's house. After looking at the cloth and clothes, Aunt Qin Er looked at the clay jars: "What are these?" If it was just a big bag of clothes and cloth, of course, the escort team's carriage would not have to send Uncle Qin Er to Baili Village. It could have been sent to the county town. The reason why the escort team's carriage sent Uncle Qin Er to the village was because Uncle Qin Er also brought a few clay jars.
Uncle Qin said, "This earthenware jar contains spicy cabbage, this one contains pickled radish, this one contains wine, and this one contains wine dregs and bones. I have eaten these at Afang's house and they are all delicious, so I brought them back for you to try." Uncle Qin did not feel tired at all for bringing them back for his daughter and daughter-in-law to try, but rather felt proud.
When Aunt Qin heard that it was food, she hurriedly said, "Open it quickly and let me see." As long as it was food, she would not reject it even if it was as big as a fingernail.
Uncle Qin opened the lids of the four earthenware jars one by one, and Aunt Qin smelled them one by one. Whether it was the spicy cabbage or the pickled radish, they were all very fragrant, the kind that would make people's appetites and drool just by smelling them, and they really stimulated people's taste buds.
Aunt Qin went back to the kitchen to get chopsticks, and then ran out again. She picked up the spicy cabbage and took a bite: "Oh, this spicy cabbage tastes really good, it goes really well with rice." In ancient times when oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar were all expensive, it was not easy to make a dish that went well with rice. So Aunt Qin fell in love with it at the first bite.
Seeing his wife like this, Uncle Qin was very proud: "Is it delicious? I think it is delicious, so I brought it to you. And you can try this pickled radish, it tastes good too."
Aunt Qin was already tasting it without Uncle Qin telling her. After tasting it, she said, "It tastes good, but a lot of ingredients are used, and sugar must be added. It's really a big deal to put sugar in cabbage and radish."
Uncle Qin said, "That's right."
Aunt Qin turned and looked at Uncle Qin: "Tell me about the general's mansion."
Speaking of the general's mansion, Uncle Qin only said one sentence: "It's too big, bigger than our village."
Aunt Qin didn't believe it, but she also knew that her man would not lie: "Is it really that big? Many people can live there. Uncle Qin
said, "That's right, Afang's wife said that it was the prince's mansion where the prince lived before, and after they moved there, they lived there.
But the house in the general's mansion belongs to the court. If Afang stops being a general in the future or is transferred to another place, the house must be returned to the court. Aunt Qin
: "That's not a rare house." Sooner or later it will have to be returned, and it's better to be home. "What do you eat and do in the general's mansion? How about Niu Dan?"
At this point, Uncle Qin took out two pieces of paper from his arms: "Afang gave Niu Dan a name, and Afang's wife also gave names to the maids in the family. Niu Dan's name is Shouxin, the same as Shouye and Shoucheng, and these names sound like brothers. "Er Ya's name is Er Ya..." Uncle Qin slowly told the story of what happened in the General's Mansion.
Aunt Qin envied them for the good life they had these days, and was also happy that both her son and daughter had names. However, after the children had proper names, they still had to register them. So the couple decided to register them tomorrow.
Yunxiang County
Outside the county town, Du Ke and Shen Lixian had already arrived, but they did not enter the city immediately. Du Ke said to Shen Lixian: "At this time, Qin Fang should be at the Beast Mountain. Let's go to the Beast Mountain to take a look."
Shen Lixian: "Listen to the adults. "He knew about the Beast Mountain and the minerals.
Besides, his main purpose of coming out this time was not these things, but to take advantage of the opportunity to go to every place openly to find his nephew.
Du Ke and others had just arrived, and although they didn't know where the Beast Mountain was, the person who led the way was someone who had been to Yunxiang County with Chief Steward Chi before, so the other party knew where the Beast Mountain was. When they arrived at the
Beast Mountain, they looked at the guards at the foot of the mountain.
When the soldiers at the foot of the mountain saw someone approaching and were about to step forward to interrogate, one of them pulled the other's hand and said, "Brother, do you think the leader looks like Lord Du Ke whom we met in Huanshui County?"
The other party took a closer look and said, "He really does. But why did Lord Du come here? "When they followed General Qin that day, they met Lord Du. Among the group of people who came, the leader did look like Lord Du. "Looking at the number of people coming, they must be of status. Could it be that it is really Lord Du?"
The two looked at each other, and the first one to speak said: "Let's go and ask."
The man nodded, so the two went forward.
Du Ke saw two soldiers coming and blocking their way, and he raised his eyebrows. Then he heard the soldier say: "This noble man, may I ask if you are Lord Du Kedu?"
Du Ke was a little surprised: "Do you know me?"
Du Ke said so, and the two soldiers who came over knelt down quickly. One of them explained: "I met you when I followed General Qin in Huanshui County, but because of my humble status, I dare not look too closely, so I am not very sure now. "
Hahaha..." Du Ke laughed, "Get up, your memory is not bad. Where is General Qin? Did he go up the mountain?"
The soldier stood up and
said, "The general did go up the mountain." Du Ke looked at the height of the mountain, thinking that if he climbed up, he would definitely suffer a lot, but he also wanted to take a look at the ore, so he said, "Lead the way, I want to go up."
"This..." The soldier hesitated, "I'm afraid not, sir."
Du Ke: "Oh? I can't go up?" The official showed his authority, and the guards were frightened and knelt down again.
The soldier hurriedly explained: "Please forgive me, sir. General Qin has ordered that no one can go up the mountain without his consent. Violators will be punished by military law, so... please understand."
Du Ke snorted: "What if I insist on going up? Given the friendship between me and your general, he will definitely not blame you."
The soldier refused: "Please forgive me, sir."
At the same time, other soldiers also gathered around. General Qin was very kind to them and took good care of them. As soldiers, they lived a much better life than farming at home. So the soldiers were very loyal to Qin Fang. Now that someone wanted to break into the Beast Mountain, the soldiers would naturally fight to the death.
Shen Lixian was a little surprised. Lord Du was not the kind of person who would make things difficult for others. What was he doing today? Soon, he knew what Lord Du meant.
Du Ke laughed again: "Not bad, you are all very good, and you have the toughness of our Qiguo soldiers. In this case, I will not go up. You go up and tell General Qin that I am waiting for him below."
The soldier breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."
One of the soldiers went to the Beast Mountain Taoist Temple to call Qin Fang, and the rest were still at their posts. Du Ke was not idle either, so he asked the soldiers to lead the way, and he wandered around the foot of the Beast Mountain.
Beast Mountain Taoist Temple
Wei Ting and Qin Fang were eating roasted chicken. Speaking of which, through this period of time, Wei Ting and Qin Fang's friendship has improved. Although Wei Ting was born in a noble family, he is not as arrogant as the average noble family son. Although Qin Fang was born in a peasant family, he is not as ignorant as the average peasant family son. Qin Fang can hunt and Wei Ting can grill, so the two get along very well. Wei Ting talked about everything in the capital, those family relationships, those interpersonal relationships, just as a pre-study for Qin Fangke, and sold it to Qin Fang by the way, while Qin Fang talked about the lives of the lower-class people and the life in the border military camp.
So, the two of them became friends in this way.
Wei Ting drank a sip of icy mung bean soup, and then ate a bite of roast chicken and said: "In my life, the life here is still the happiest. When I was in the capital before, I couldn't eat chicken like this, and I couldn't drink mung bean soup like this. It was all about being polite. But people live and pay attention to everything. How can they be happy?"
Qin Fang said: "I have always been happy in my life, but the happiest thing is marrying Zhuo Jing."
Wei Ting: "..." Speaking of which, he has seen the Bingyun Township Lord several times. Every ten days, Qin Fang would bring some delicious food to the Beast Mountain Taoist Temple to share with them. It must be said that he could not say that he admired the Princess of Bingyun Township, but he thought she was amazing. Qin Fang was able to marry her because of the heir-appointment that year.
"General... General..."
Qin Fang turned his head: "What's the matter?"
The soldier came up from the foot of the mountain, panting and calling: "General, Lord Du Ke has arrived and is waiting for you at the foot of the Beast Mountain."
Qin Fang was stunned at first, then he was happy: "Lord Du is here?" He stood up suddenly, thought for a while and calmed down again, "Brother Wei, there will be a banquet at the General's Mansion tomorrow night, please come."
Wei Ting was surprised that Du Ke came, and he was just trying to find out the purpose of his coming, so he said: "Then it's better to obey than to be respectful."
Qin Fang: "Then I'll take my leave first."
The soldier climbed up the mountain for an hour, and Qin Fang arrived at the foot of the mountain in less than an hour. But in total, it was two hours, that is, four hours. Du Ke was really tired of waiting, so he just sat down and ate something. The weather was hot, and the servants beside him were very tactful and fanned him, but at the foot of the mountain, the wind was occasionally cool.
"Sir..." Qin Fang just ran down the mountain and saw Du Ke, and he screamed. The anxious and enthusiastic tone really sounded like a young man seeing his sweetheart.
Du Ke was also startled by Qin Fang's tone, but then he smiled. He saw Qin Fang running over and stood up: "It seems that the top of the mountain is very high. I have been waiting for two hours."
Qin Fang came in front of Du Ke: "I have seen you, sir."
After Du Ke accepted his greetings, he said: "You and I are master and disciple, and we don't have to do this in private in the future."
