The bonfire party has begun.
The half-human-high flame jumped happily, lighting up everything around it, and the firewood burned with a subtle "crackling" sound.
The barbecue has begun and the meat is fragrant.
Su Xian was sitting beside the bonfire, very leisurely. On the left and right sides were Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang. However, the two women were not right next to him, they were one foot apart.
Tang Shujing squatted on the other side of the bonfire, working hard on the grill, with a serious look on her face, and the jumping firelight reflected her pretty face.
"Husband, Jing'er is a guest after all. Isn't it inappropriate to let her barbecue alone?"
Tang Shuwan tilted her head. Under the bright firelight, her side face was also so beautiful, like a beautiful woman.
Liu Huixiang also looked over and said:
"Yes, husband, I'd better leave the barbecue to you. Let sister Jing'er rest for a while."
"..."
Tang Shujing, who was busy cooking barbecue, put down the grill after hearing this, stretched out her hand to wipe her face, and looked sideways. Under the firelight, her bright eyes became brighter and brighter, like two pearls.
When Su Xian caught a glimpse of her appearance, he couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing, holding his stomach.
Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang were stunned for a while, covering their mouths with their little hands and snickering.
It turned out that the moment Tang Shujing wiped her face, she actually left four finger prints. They were so dark that she suddenly became a "little cat", which was very funny.
But she had no idea, and she glared and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Su Xian raised her hand to stop Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang who wanted to remind her. She smiled and said:
"Why did you stop and continue grilling? You know, your grilling skills have been 'certified' by my brother-in-law. Your grilling skills are the best in the world. Even I can't compare!"
When Tang Shujing heard this, she felt proud, snorted secretly, picked up the grill and continued to grill.
Tang Shuwan couldn't stand it. After all, she was her own sister and a distinguished guest. It was really unkind for Su Xian to use this method to make others work!
After careful consideration, she advised:
"Jing'er, stop baking..."
But before she finished speaking, Tang Shujing proudly interrupted her:
"Sister, just wait with peace of mind. My barbecue skills are the best in the world. You are not as good as me, so don't try to compete with me!"
"you……"
Tang Shuwan's cherry mouth opened slightly, and she was speechless for a long time. In the end, she could only glare at Su Xian and then gave up.
Liu Huixiang sat nearby, shaking her head and speechless. She also saw Su Xian's despicable tricks, but... Tang Shujing was in the middle of the game and didn't notice it at all.
She shook her head, knowing that talking more would be useless...
"Brother-in-law, don't you want to tell a story? Tell it quickly, tell it quickly, I want to hear a story like 'Shooting withered'!" Tang Shujing urged while grilling meat.
"That story has been told. Today I will tell you a new story."
As he said that, Su Xian's hand subconsciously moved to his side.
But it came to nothing.
Because Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang were both about one foot away from him.
He was very uncomfortable with not being able to touch his wife all the time.
And this was all because of Tang Shujing's presence, and the two women couldn't let go...
"A new story? Are there characters like Guo Jing and Huang Rong in it?" Tang Shujing asked. From a distance, she spotted Su Xian's awkward movements from the corner of her eye, and the corners of her mouth slowly raised.
By coincidence, Su Xian noticed the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
This made Su Xian secretly annoyed and blurted out:
"There are no Guo Jing or Huang Rong. This story is all about men. It tells a story between men. It's called "Water Margin"!"
"Huh? They are all men, so this story must be very boring. Let's change it to another one." Tang Shujing pursed her lips secretly. She actually wanted to hear a story that included love elements.
Su Xian didn't live up to her wish. He calmly said:
"Let's talk about this today. The first chapter of this story is called 'Master Zhang prayed to fight off the plague, and Lieutenant Hong accidentally escaped the demon'"
"The poem says: The crimson rooster announces the dawn, and enters the green clouds while still wearing his clothes. The nine heavens open the palace, and the clothes of all nations worship the crown. The sun is just approaching the fairy palms are moving, and the smoke is about to float next to the dragon. After the court, a five-color edict must be cut, The sound of admiration returns to Fengchitou."
"It is said that the Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty was on the throne. On March 3rd, the third year of Jiayou, at five o'clock in the morning, the emperor sat in the Zichen Palace and received congratulations from hundreds of officials. But..."
"..."
Following Su Xian's eloquent talk, Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang were getting better and better.
They sat on the left and right sides of Su Xian respectively, with their heads tilted slightly and their eyes filled with affection.
As long as it is a story told by Su Xian, they all like to listen.
Tang Shujing always found it boring. She listened carefully and found that there was indeed no love between a man and a woman in this story... This was too boring. Without a woman, could it still be called a story?
She suddenly remembered Su Xian's embarrassment just now, so during the barbecue, she frequently cast mocking smiles at Su Xian in order to "retaliate."
When Su Xian saw this, he snorted secretly. At this time, he had just finished the first episode. He took a break and drank tea and decided to "fight back".
After putting down the tea cup, his expression suddenly changed, he raised his hand and pointed to the dark distance, and shouted loudly: "Rat! What a big rat..."
His sudden shout shocked the three women present.
Most women all over the world are afraid of mice.
Rats are not only furry and make scary noises, but they also like to drill holes. It’s really scary!
Su Xian saw that the two ladies were just frightened and had no reaction, so he continued to shout loudly: "Coming! Coming, coming! That big rat bared its teeth and ran towards us..."
"ah!"
As expected, Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang were so frightened that they could no longer sit still. They approached Su Xian by chance and squeezed hard against Su Xian, subconsciously seeking shelter.
The corners of Su Xian's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hands to hug each other unceremoniously... Finally, he could touch the ladies with his hands, and Su Xian felt very happy.
While enjoying the beauty, he did not forget to glance at Tang Shujing in the distance with a provocative look in his eyes.
Tang Shujing was originally very scared and almost dropped the grill in her hand. However, fortunately, she was not an ordinary woman. She was very skilled. How could she be afraid of a mere mouse?
After calming down, Su Xian looked provocatively.
She immediately understood that there was no big rat at all, this was all Su Xian's trick!
She looked at Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang who were trying their best to squeeze into Su Xian, and secretly shook her head, looking like she hated iron but could not become steel...
In this way, Su Xian, hugged from left to right, continued to tell the story of "Water Margin".
Tang Shujing's meat had been partially roasted, and Su Xian took it out without ceremony and shared it with the two ladies.
When Tang Shujing saw this, her eyes widened. She had been roasting for a long time and she hadn't even taken a bite. So Su Xian and the others started eating?
She was about to get angry, but at this moment, Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang gave them thumbs up, saying that her barbecue skills were indeed the best in the world!
Delicious, so delicious!
"Haha, of course, you don't care who I am! You guys eat first while I continue to bake!"
Tang Shujing was very proud and continued to bake without saying a word.
Seeing this, Su Xian couldn't help but slowly raise the corners of his mouth, and then continued to tell the story of "Water Margin" while eating the roast meat hand-fed by the two ladies.
Although Tang Shujing didn't like hearing this story without a woman, she secretly pricked up her ears.
She didn't have much expectations for this story, so she just passed the time out of boredom.
Until a certain moment, Su Xian began to introduce Song Jiang:
"Being generous and distributing wealth, resolving every difficulty is just a matter of caring for people's lives... He often spreads coffin medicine to help the poor, help the people in need, and help those in need. Shandong and Hebei are famous for this, and they all call it timely rain. But he compared him to the timely rain from the sky, which can save all things."
"..."
Bang!
Suddenly, a sound attracted the attention of Su Xian and others. They followed the sound and found that it was a copper basin containing marinated barbecue falling to the ground with a loud noise.
Barbecues waiting to be grilled were scattered all over the floor.
Next to the copper basin was Tang Shujing. She did not feel guilty about accidentally dropping the copper basin, but she had an excited face, clenched her fists, and said excitedly:
"Be righteous and spread wealth, resolve problems and disputes, take care of people's lives, help people in need, help people in need, help people in need... timely rain! timely rain..."
"Jing'er, what's wrong with you?" Tang Shuwan asked with concern.
"Are you stupid?" Su Xian sneered.
Liu Huixiang didn't say anything, she just looked at the barbecue that fell to the ground with a look of pity.
Tang Shujing turned back and glared at Su Xian: "You are stupid...Brother-in-law, keep talking, what happened to 'Timely Rain' Song Jiang and Song Gongming?"
Su Xian felt slightly puzzled and said suspiciously, "Aren't you not interested?"
Tang Shujing ran closer, took Su Xian's hand, and begged: "Brother-in-law, just tell me, what happened to Song Gongming later?"
Su Xian frowned slightly, not understanding what Tang Shujing meant by this move, but he said after careful consideration: "Later, Song Jiang was admired by heroes from all walks of life and took the top spot in Liangshanbo!"
"Hahaha, it's true, it's true!" Tang Shujing was so excited that she clenched her fists with a look of expectation, longing, and determination.
"Jing'er, what's wrong with you?" Tang Shuwan stood up, held her sister's shoulders, looked left and right, and finally put the back of her hand against her forehead.
Tang Shujing waved her sister's hand away, looked at Su Xian and others, and announced loudly:
"I have decided that starting from today, I will do something very meaningful and important!"
"What big thing is Jing'er going to do?" Tang Shuwan was delighted, thinking that this naughty sister had finally grown up and become sensible. If her father, Tang Ju, knew about this, he might be so happy that he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights.
"Aren't you already the best goddess in the world, and your barbecue skills are also the best in the world, what else do you want to do?" Su Xian looked sideways.
Tang Shujing was arrogant, her sharp chin raised high, and she declared with great energy:
"From today on, I will be generous and generous, solve problems and resolve disputes, help the poor, the people in need, and help the needy... I will be a timely rain Song Jiang, oh no, it should be a 'timely rain Tang Shujing'!"
"..."
There was a brief silence around the campfire.
The crackling sound of burning firewood also became clear.
Tang Shuwan was stunned for a long time. Looking at her biological sister, she opened her little mouth several times and finally said: "Jing'er, what are you... talking about?"
Liu Huixiang was not easy to interrupt, but she also had a weird look on her face. She felt that Su Xian, this sister-in-law, was really not a cheap person. Judging from her words and deeds, she did not look like she was from a wealthy family. She was completely different from her sister Tang Shuwan!
Su Xian was even more surprised. Finally, he touched Tang Shujing with his hand, bent over with laughter, and said, "What did you say? Do you want to make timely rain? Oops, you made me laugh to death. You contracted my laughter for a whole year." point!"
Tang Shujing said proudly:
"Smile, no matter how much you make fun of me, I will never change my mind! I, Timely Rain Tang Shujing, will have achievements in the future that are incomparable to mortals like you!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Su Xian almost laughed, and his laughter spread far, far away.
…
…
The next day.
The third day of the first lunar month.
Today is still a beautiful day to stay at home and spend time with your wife.
In fact, the imperial court has been closed since New Year's Eve and lasted until the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. During this period, only the imperial court needed to attend court.
Su Xian had already made the decision to take a good rest for half a month and play with his wife at home every day. It was indeed very relaxing and comfortable.
However, after breakfast today, Princess Lanling suddenly sent someone to invite her.
The maid who conveyed the news didn't know why the princess invited Su Xian.
He just urged Su Xian to go to the princess mansion quickly.
"The princess invites you. There must be something important. My husband should leave as soon as possible." Tang Shuwan suggested.
"That's fine. You guys can find something to do at home first, and then go back to your husband."
Su Xian changed his clothes, left the house immediately, and headed straight to the imperial city.
Today is a rare good weather. The sun has been high in the sky early, and the sun is shining brightly. Compared with the previous few days, it is actually a little hotter... This is a good time to go out of the city for fun.
Not long after, Su Xian's carriage stopped in front of Duanmen.
Duanmen is the south gate of the imperial city, from which you can directly enter the imperial city, where Princess Lanling's mansion is located.
After successfully entering the imperial city, Su Xian walked to the princess mansion.
After just two steps, a group of palace maids suddenly appeared in the distance. They chatted and pointed along the way, looking youthful and lively.
Perhaps because it was too hot today, the maids were dressed very coolly, even in the heat of summer. The wide open necklines made Su Xian's eyes dizzy...
After passing by these maids, Su Xian looked away. As he walked, he thought to himself:
"It's hot today, and the maids are dressed as if they were in the middle of summer. I wonder if Her Highness the Princess is also..."
Princess Lanling's figure, second only to that of the Queen in the entire palace, is so majestic and majestic that ordinary people would blush with heartbeat and lose their mind at just one glance.
Even for Su Xian, who came from the 21st century and was "tried and tested", Princess Lanling was still a rare and best one in his heart.
Just imagining it in his mind made half of his body numb...
"uh-huh!"
Su Xian suddenly came to his senses and straightened his posture again. In broad daylight, those thoughts were really unhealthy. He calmed down and forcibly dispelled those charming thoughts.
He continued to walk forward, and suddenly something moved in his heart, and he thought to himself:
"The princess invited me to visit the palace today. I don't know why? By the way, I remember a few months ago, when I set out to Hebei Province to secretly fight against the Liao Dynasty, the princess once said that she would grant me a wish."
"What is my wish? How come I don't know? How can the princess satisfy it? Is she looking for me this time just to fulfill that vague promise?"
"..."
While he was thinking wildly, Su Xian had arrived at the door of the princess's house.
Qiu Dianjun had been waiting there for a long time. He quickly came up to greet him and saluted with clasped fists: "The Taiwei has finally arrived. His Highness has been waiting for many days. Please come in, Taiwei."
"Thank you Qiudian Army." Su Xian nodded.
