"Then let's sit together." Yang Xianrong was tired today and said softly to Sima Ying, "Your Majesty, Shu is your territory, why do you still do this? Relax, let's go back after eating the noodles. OK?"
Sima Ying didn't even dare to look at Yang Xianrong, she just looked at Liu Yao and frowned.
Liu Yao didn't care about that and sat down directly next to Yang Xianrong, "Third sister, are you satisfied with this? I'm starving to death."
"Come on up." Yang Xianrong pulled the corner of Liu Yao's clothes, "Brother Liu, do you want to drink a little wine? I just saw a lot of Qingyang wine on the long street. I don't know what it tastes like. . Do you want you to drink a jar and give me a small sip to taste?"
"Okay!" Liu Yao was smiling and in a very happy mood.
Sima Ying sat on the right side of Yang Xianrong and coughed twice. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Xianrong said to Liu Yao: "Brother Liu, there are no rules today. Let's eat and drink like we did in Mingyue Tower." , and then go back and have a good rest.”
"Okay." Liu Yao nodded, his eyes bright.
Xiao Ruobai politely started to help his aunt serve side dishes and hot water for everyone, and enthusiastically introduced these side dishes and their preparation methods. He is really eloquent and even explained the preparation of side dishes clearly. For example, from planting to harvesting, a radish must be stored in a sealed, shaded clay pot after being cut into pieces and pickled, and can only be opened after ten days. But if it passes ten days, it will become sour.
Yang Xianrong listened with interest and ate in small bites. When the miscellaneous sauce noodles came, she was really hungry, so she quickly took a bite without caring about the heat. It was indeed delicious, as you could see from her satisfied expression.
"I just heard a woman shouting 'raking ears' in the market. What does that mean?" Even though he was hungry, Yang Xianrong really couldn't eat anymore after eating two bowls, so he started talking to Xiao Ruo who was sitting opposite him. White chat.
His aunt just brought some hot soup over and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you really have a good ear. Can you understand the dialect in Qingyang?"
"I just heard Magistrate Xiao say 'raking peas' in Qingyangpo. He said 'raking' means soft and rotten. So, is 'raking ears' a dish?"
"No, no, that means that the men in Qingyang County are all 'sharp-eared', soft-eared, and very obedient to women." My aunt smiled even more happily.
"How can you listen to a woman?" Sima Ying was unhappy again.
"Why not? Sometimes what a woman says is right, so you should listen." Yang Xianrong also said with a smile, ""My old grandmother once said that men are the masters of the outside world and women are the masters of the house. In fact, 'the master of the house' is more important. , when the family is stable, men can go out and do things with peace of mind. Therefore, the same principle applies to listening to women. "
"...Wrong sense..." Sima Ying wanted to refute, but she felt that Yang Xianrong was right. What's more, Yang Xianrong put a piece of pickled radish in front of his eyes and waited for him to eat it with a smile. He put it in his mouth without thinking, and grinned sorely.
When everyone saw that the gentle and polite young master had such an expression, everyone wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, so everyone lowered their heads. Only Liu Yao asked Yang Xianrong in a low voice, "How do you know about that acid? Aren't they all unsealed in ten days?"
Yang Xianrong whispered to him, "Because I also ate a very sour one just now, but it was just a small piece. Then I paid attention to it. In fact, if it is soaked for a longer time, the color will be darker. My aunt's kimchi is probably a big clay pot, so there will be times when it is not taken out completely, so occasionally there will be radishes that are more than ten days sour. Then I just happened to pick one for the prince..."
She smiled so cutely that Sima Ying didn't get angry easily, so she just ate another big bowl of noodles, and she actually ate as much as Liu Yao.
After eating, it is natural to take a walk on the long streets of Qingyang County.
Although winter has entered here, because it is located in the hinterland of Sichuan, it is actually a bit humid and warm at night. There was no need for everyone to dress too much, and they were in a happier mood.
The folk customs in Qingyang County are simple and simple, and many families will set up two small benches in front of their homes and start eating. Some people who knew Xiao Ruobai greeted him warmly.
Xiao Ruobai explained that he grew up here since he was a child and knew most of the people in Qingyang County. In fact, there are no serious incidents here on weekdays, and everyone lives a quiet and comfortable life.
After eating, Yang Xianrong felt a little sleepy. Cuixi asked her in a low voice if she wanted to go back in a carriage? But she was still a little reluctant to part with the lively atmosphere of fireworks, and wanted to take another walk.
However, at this time, someone started fighting in front and yelled loudly. Liu Yao immediately stood in front of Yang Xianrong.
"Hey, Brother Liu, I can't see the excitement anymore." Yang Xianrong wanted to pull him away, but helplessly, this man was so tall and powerful that he blocked all her sight.
"What's there to see? It's just a dispute between villagers." Sima Ying looked around and asked, "Are the people's customs simple? Not necessarily so."
After Xiao Ruobai heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, there is really nothing big going on here. It's okay to argue with the folks in the village if they don't agree with each other."
"Huh." I don't know if Sima Ying ate too much and was always angry.
Someone among the people arguing saw Xiao Ruobai and shouted to him: "Magistrate Xiao, please make the decision for us!"
There were also those with quick legs and feet who ran over immediately. Sima Ying's followers were so frightened that they immediately formed a formation and stopped the group. These people were also frightened. They stared blankly at the dozens of strong men who suddenly appeared in private, and then slowly backed away.
"Hey, it's okay, just tell me." Xiao Ruobai quickly walked out from among the followers, then turned back to Sima Ying and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll handle it."
These people saw Xiao Ruobai and started talking to each other. There were a lot of local dialects in Qingyang mixed in. Yang Xianrong pricked his ears and could only get a rough idea.
It must have been over the ownership rights of some mulberry trees on a wasteland on Qingyang Slope. These people had a dispute, and their words were very rude, so they started pushing and shoving.
This kind of thing should happen often, you can tell by looking at Xiao Ruobai's appearance. He didn't stand aside, just straightened his body and said: "Don't argue in the market. Go to the county office tomorrow morning to check the relevant registration."
These people agreed with this statement. Although they argued for a few more words, they did not take action and gradually dispersed.
Yang Xianrong didn't say anything, just waiting for Xiao Ruobai to come back and explain. As expected, she and I were inseparable from each other. Xiao Ruobai also added: "Due to the large-scale reproduction of silkworms, the demand for dwarf mulberry leaves has increased dramatically, and there have even been cases of murders for picking mulberry leaves."
"Simple folk customs?" Sima Ying was able to sneer.
Xiao Ruobai smiled awkwardly, "Most of them are still simple."
Yang Xianrong suppressed a smile and just nodded to show that he understood. She was really tired and wanted to go back to sleep. However, Sima Ying said that she had drunk some wine, and now some of the superiors also needed to ride in the carriage. Yang Xianrong asked Cui Xi to lift the curtain and let him get in the car.
As the swaying carriage was moving, Yang Xianrong suddenly asked Sima Ying: "If the mulberry leaves are mixed with the poison of croton, why are the silkworms safe after eating them?"
