Chapter 78 Eloping
"On the night of elopement, the young woman made a hot pot for the young man." Xiao Ge said in a deep voice.
It was also a bronze tripod with melon-shaped and animal-shaped ears, which the young woman lifted up with great difficulty.
There are nine kinds of base ingredients, namely, mellow butter, spicy duck feet, spicy beef bones, three fresh soup, tomato spare ribs, hot and sour golden soup, pork tripe and chicken soup, sesame oil porridge, and wolfberry mushroom soup.
The ten hot pot dishes include large slices of tripe, crispy tribute vegetables, tender shrimp balls, large slices of kidney, icy goose intestines, crispy tofu, boneless chicken feet, kelp seedlings, yellow cattle throat, and spicy beef.
After watching it, Xiao Ge was not only moved but also curious.
He also thought that the story of Empress Roujia would be lost in the long river of history.
Unexpectedly, someone salvaged it.
Of course, Xiao Ge did not tell anyone about this memory.
"The young woman told the young man that her grandmother's surname was Du." Xiao Ge curled the corners of his mouth with a sarcastic look.
There are countless girls with the surname Du in the world.
When he heard the surname Du, he was moved.
He thought that he and she had reached the same destination through different paths.
"The surname Du, what's so strange about that?" Taohua murmured to herself.
"During the reign of Empress Roujia, the Minister of Rites was named Du, and she was also the Princess of Ning." Zhu Huaizhen smiled and his eyes moved.
In fact, these little stories were told to Zhu Huaizhen by Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu.
Zhu Huaishu has always dreamed of becoming an empress.
"Princess Ronghua, you really know a lot." Xiao Ge shook his head and laughed, his expression still sad.
Therefore, there is no such thing as a destined person in this world, everyone is a person with a heart.
"The young man believed it and shared the secret of the Great Zhou treasure with the young woman. The young woman was very excited and actually took out a feng shui map. The feng shui map was made of sheepskin, coated with tung oil, and was resistant to water and fire. The young woman suggested that they elope together, look for the Great Zhou treasure, and then dig it out and give it to a wise ruler, thus fulfilling the wish of Empress Roujia. The young man was a little hesitant at the time, so he forgot to tell the young woman that he had the Changsheng Treasury." Xiao Ge's smile became more and more sad, as if he had experienced a heavy rain.
"Feng Shui map?" Taohua couldn't help but frown and muttered to herself.
"What's wrong with the feng shui map?" Zhu Huaizhen asked anxiously.
"Pear blossom snow is not suitable for oral administration. It penetrates through the skin." Taohua pulled the corner of her mouth with a strong sense of mockery.
"Yes, the feng shui map is fumigated with fresh pear blossom snow every day and covered with gentle fragrance. The young man studies it repeatedly and strokes it often without noticing it." Xiao Ge sighed.
The ingredients of gentle fragrance are agarwood, orchid, clove, jasmine, magnolia, osmanthus and honey.
Fresh orchids, jasmine, magnolia, and osmanthus flowers are placed in a stone mortar and pounded into a floral paste. Cloves are ground into a fine powder, and agarwood into coarse grains. The fine clove powder and coarse agarwood grains are then mixed together and placed in the floral paste and further pounded. A suitable amount of honey is added to form incense pills, which are then pressed into incense cakes. After being pressed dry, they are then dried to produce the finished product, which is mostly used for fumigation.
Gentle fragrance is often used in Qinlou and Chuguan.
Zhu Huaizhen sighed silently that her Xiao Ge was no longer pure.
"Until the poison of the pear blossom snow took effect, the young man was imprisoned. The young woman said that as long as the young man handed over the key to the treasure of the Great Zhou, she would let him go. Unfortunately, the young man just thought it was funny and couldn't believe it." When Xiao Ge said this, he drank glass after glass of light wine, but he would not get drunk. He could only close his eyes.
Later, the young man was treated with a lot of pear blossom snow by the young woman, and he spent more time sleeping than awake.
The young woman gradually relaxed her vigilance, which gave the young man a chance to escape.
From Shangjing of Northern Zhou to Gusu of Southern Wu, the young man almost exhausted all his efforts.
