Ask This Spring - Chapter 88

When the family was still staying in Bianzhou, Zhuo Lian used to make Songling wine. This wine has a light rosin and a long aftertaste that makes people unforgettable after tasting it. But compared with Songling wine, there is another kind of pine jelly that tastes better, but its production method is very complicated. It is necessary to harvest pine resin from pine trees, grind it into powder, heat it with water, and pick it up at the end of boiling water. Loose paste.

Nowadays, although the number of long-term workers in the wine shop is quite large, but the experience is slightly insufficient, it is impossible to distinguish which turpentine is suitable for wine making. In this way, Zhuo Lian can only go up the mountain in person.

The moonlight on this night was very good, and it fell on the yellow bark trees in the courtyard like a white lily. Zhuo Lian stood on tiptoe, plucked a bunch of yellow fruit, contained an entrance, and the sour juice filled her mouth for a short time, making her whole face wrinkled.

“Is it so sore?” A low voice came from behind, his rough palms wrapped his arms around the soft waist, Huan Shen took the opportunity to press the person in his arms, straightening the bridge of his nose and rubbing the black hair at the side of the temple again and again. The breath is sprayed, bringing bursts of itching.

Six or seven days have passed since the date of marriage, but Zhuo Lian is still not accustomed to the touch of a man. She became stiff, with a light pink halo on her cheeks, and said as she broke free, “You will know if you taste it. It’s sour. This yellow fruit grows in the south. It’s sweet as honey, but it’s bitter and astringent, and it’s hard to eat.”

Two fingers twisted a yellow peel fruit and brought it to Huan Shen’s mouth. Seeing that he hadn’t opened his mouth for a long time, Zhuo Lian couldn’t help but wonder, “Don’t you taste it? Isn’t the dignified Lord Zhen Guo afraid of being too sour?”

Huan Shen stared at the woman in front of him for a moment, bowed slightly, and said dumbly: “The way Lianlian feeds is wrong.”

“What’s wrong?”

“There is no outsider here, can you feed it by mouth, okay?”

Zhuo Lian did not expect that Huan Shen would say such a thing. He was astonished for a long time, and shook his head in a hurry to veto, “If you don’t taste it, the dealer will send you fresh fruits someday. No one cares how much you want to eat.”

She turned around to leave, but the arm that contained endless power was still in place, like a chain cast by fine iron, although it didn’t hurt Zhuo Lian, it made her unable to move.

“Huan Shen, you are also the imperial commander anyway, what do people see like?”

“The servants in the mansion are the most respectful, and they don’t dare to look around without the master’s instructions.” The corner of the man’s mouth twitched slightly, and his black eyes appeared brighter and brighter.

I don’t know if it was Zhuo Lian’s illusion. Since the two got married, Huan Shen has become even more annoying, as if the melted sugar water is extremely sticky.

“You can’t let go?” She asked irritably.

“Don’t let go. You and I have been married a long time ago. Intimacy is both ethical and not against rules. Why should you violate your own nature?”

Even though the breeze was refreshing in the late autumn, Zhuo Lian still felt hot and panicked next to a human-shaped stove. She was so helpless that she could only hold the yellow fruit with her shell teeth, avoiding Huan Shen’s hot eyes. , Raised his feet and fed Guoer into his mouth.

No matter how careful the woman is when she moves, her lips and tongue will inevitably pass Huan Shen. Those deep eyes flicker slightly, and the palms around her slender waist are getting harder.

When the yellow fruit entered his mouth, Huan Shen chewed blankly, his expression unchanged.

“You’ve been standing for a long while, but do you feel sore back?”

Just after the wedding night in the bridal chamber, Zhuo Lian came to Guishui. Her menstruation was always on time. This time it was more than ten days earlier, and there was some soreness and tingling in the waist and abdomen. It was not comfortable to stand and sit for a long time.

Zhuo Lian shook his head, “It’s the sixth day, and it’s not uncomfortable for a long time.”

Speaking of which, Zhuo Lian couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found out that he had come to Guishui. Huan Shen has practiced martial arts for many years, and her energy is much more vigorous than ordinary people.

But at this moment, the menstrual affairs had stopped, and her heart was pounding when she met the hot gaze of the young man, trying to keep her voice as soft as possible.

“Okay, tomorrow I want to go to the mountains and pick some pine resin to make wine.”

Huan Shen raised his eyebrows, gently pinched the white earlobes with his fingers, and said, “What kind of resin do you want? Just tell the long-time worker in the store. Why go into the mountains yourself? It’s not yet winter, snakes and insects. Rats and ants are not in the minority. If you are unlucky, you will encounter wild wolves that come out for food. Lianlian is born with delicate skin and tender flesh. If those animals take it away, the mother and mother-in-law will feel distressed…”

“Don’t be foolish, there are so many wild wolves on the mountain? If you don’t worry, I will bring some guards. Those long-time workers have never made pine balm wine before, how can they tell the good from the bad?”

At this time, Zhuo Lian had broken free from Huan Shen’s arms. She let out a long sigh of relief, preparing to spend a few more days in the suburbs of Beijing by picking pine resin.

The reason for doing this does not mean that she regretted agreeing to the marriage, but that Huan Shen in the night… was too enthusiastic.

It’s not the first day that Huan Shen met Zhuo Lian. How can he not guess what a woman thinks? He slowly nodded his head and responded: “What Lianlian said is true. Instead of bringing guards, how about I go up the mountain with you?”

Zhuo Lian was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected that he would say such a thing, and for a while, he didn’t know how to answer.

“What? Lianlian is too happy?”

“No, don’t it?” She swallowed.

The man’s expression was sad, and the corners of his lips revealed a bit of bitterness, “No matter, you married me out of pity, and I shouldn’t have to make an inch of it.”

Leading soldiers on the battlefield all the year round, Huan Shen knows exactly what method to use to achieve his goals. Zhuo Lian eats soft but not hard. Rather than pressing harder and harder to make her feel resentful, it is better to proceed step by step.

Sure enough, seeing his appearance, Zhuo Lian couldn’t bear it, gritted his teeth and said: “It’s nothing, it’s not a big deal to go into the mountain together, just go early and return early.”

The next day, the couple rushed to the outskirts of Beijing in a carriage. Since Huan Shen did not want to be disturbed by others, he did not even bring the groom. The distinguished Lord Zhen Guo drove the car in person, and his actions were quite familiar.

After half an hour, the carriage finally rushed to Biezhuang in the outskirts of Beijing. The farmers in the field heard the movement and hurried to inform Chen Zhuangtou.

“The little one pleases your father-in-law’s wife, what brought you two?” Chen Zhuangtou smiled, the folds on his face appeared more, but his expression was quite sincere, and he didn’t provoke anyone. Bored.

“My wife and I are going into the mountains, and the carriage and bags are placed in Zhuangzi.”

After speaking, Huan Shen threw the burden out, and Chen Zhuangtou hurried to pick it up. After the couple left, he took the reins and returned.

The capital city is at the feet of the emperor, and the roads are not difficult to walk in all directions. But the mountain road is different. It rained the day before yesterday, and the ground was wet and damp, and a lot of mud would be splashed when you step on it. That feeling is really bad.

Fortunately, Zhuo Lian is also a person who has lived a hard life, and he did not show any strangeness at this moment, leaning on a wooden stick to follow Huan Shen. With this person clearing the way, the long worms had already run away, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

There was a lush pine forest halfway up the mountain. Before he could get closer, Zhuo Lian smelled a strong scent of pine. The beautifully shaped apricot eyes lit up slightly, and he leaped forward quickly and took out the dagger from his back basket. , Cut the transparent rosin from the trunk, wrap it in a clean silk cloth, and put it in a basket.

Huan Shen also followed to help. At first, the man’s movements were a bit rusty, but later it was a lot quicker. Seeing that the basket was full, suddenly thunder came from the sky, sometimes mixed with a few bright and dazzling lightning. Obviously it will rain soon.

“Go back quickly. The pine resin you removed can’t be dipped in cold water, otherwise these things will be ruined.”

Hearing that Huan Shen grabbed the woman’s wrist and pulled her to run down the mountain, but unfortunately, no matter how fast they ran, they couldn’t beat the gods. At this moment, there was already heavy rain falling.

“There is a wooden house in front. Go in and take a rest.” Huan Shen urged.

Zhuo Lian couldn’t help nodding. When she walked under the eaves, she guessed that this wooden house was the place where the hunters went up the mountain to live temporarily, otherwise, how could it be empty?

Fortunately, the back basket was covered with silk cloth and was not wet. Zhuo Lian checked it carefully and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She wanted to wait until the rain stopped before going down the mountain, unexpectedly Huan Shen opened the door directly and walked in.

“It’s not appropriate to break in without the owner’s consent, right?” She stood outside and didn’t move for a long time.

Huan Shen Da Ma Jindao sat on the long bench and said with a low smile: “I bought the entire mountain. This wooden house was also built by Chen Zhuangtou. How can it become something of other people’s homes?”

Hearing this, Zhuo Lian raised his eyebrows and did not hide his surprise at all.

“I thought that only Zhuangzi under the mountain belonged to the Huan family.”

“Your Majesty has rewarded this villager. I saw that there are many good things in the mountains and forests, so I bought the whole mountain. The wooden house was built beforehand, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy.”

Huan Shen took out the charcoal fire from the wooden cabinet, poured it into a basin, and lit it with a fire fold. The room suddenly became much warmer.

Zhuo Lian’s clothes were slightly damp. Sitting beside the fire, her cold hands and feet gradually became warm, which made her sigh.

The man is tall and tall, standing like a green pine by the window, staring at the heavy rain like a waterfall, and said inexplicably: “Look at this, we can’t go back tonight.”

“If you can’t go back, just take a rest, it’s not a big deal.”

Zhuo Lian found a new set of quilts and laid them on a slatted bed. This wooden house is not big, and the slatted bed is similar to a soft couch, which can only accommodate one person.

I don’t know when, Huan Shen walked to the head of the bed and took the initiative to spread the bedding.

“Lianlian sleeps in bed, I hit the floor.”

“Even though this bed is small, you can still rest when you squeeze it. The mountains are wet and damp, and the rain outside is even heavier. Don’t ruin your body by relying on your youth. You know it’s amazing!”

Huan Shen raised his head and sighed lowly, “I’m afraid you don’t want to sleep with others. I slept in Datongpu in the army. Sometimes I don’t even have a place to rest. I’ve long been used to it.”

Zhuo Lian scowled, and said every word: “I said sleep together and sleep together. You guys are so much nonsense!”
