After the county lord of Qingchuan sat back on the case, he glanced left and right.

Guan Xia, who was in charge of tea, had a cold back, immediately withdrew his wide eyes, turned around and went to the charcoal stove to lift the copper tea and pour the tea, and put the tea bowl on the table with a tray of begonia lacquer, and refilled the empty tea bowl that the county lord drank, and took a few steps back to the tea cabinet to put down the tray.

Qin Xin, Liancheng, and Yue Qiu also shuddered when the county lord of Qingchuan swept over, and looked at Xiao Yan's daze eyes and immediately sobered up, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and said in his heart, "The county lord didn't see me, he didn't see me......"

The tea soup on the table is thick and mellow.

The county lord of Qingchuan smiled at Xiao Yan and said, "This is boiled with Yundian's Yinsheng tea. Milk tea should be used hot, not cold. ”

Xiao Yan responded, her heart was already excited when she smelled the sweet fragrance in *, she picked up the gold-edged tangled branch flower tea bowl, took a sip, and her eyes lit up again.

Drinking milk tea was originally the custom of the Tibetan nobles after the tea was introduced from the Tang Dynasty to the Tibetan land, and the Jingnan Army was stationed in the border area of Jingbo, and also absorbed some of the customs of the Tibetan people in the diet, such as adding cow and goat milk to the tea soup, especially in the cold season, it can resist the cold and replenish the body. Jingzhou is the coldest in the early morning, as soon as it enters September, each battalion of the Jingnan Army has burned a cauldron of boiling brick tea, adding salt and ginger slices and pepper to it, scooping up the boiled tea soup and then adding boiled goat milk. But Xiao Yan doesn't like to drink milk tea with salt, the sencha she drinks in her Guogong Mansion is unsalted, and she doesn't drink the milk tea in the camp once she drinks it.

The milk tea here is sweet, she took a sip, only felt that the sweet flavor was mellow, but it was thick but not greasy, and the tongue was mellow and fragrant, so she drank the bowl of tea one by one, leaving only a shallow circle to cover the bottom, which is the exquisiteness of drinking tea, and it is indecent to drink it cleanly, and at the same time express her appreciation for the good tea of the host's family.

The county lord of Qingchuan looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "Xiao Yuezhi, you like sweets." ”

"Don't you like it?" Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed and asked her rhetorically. Otherwise, what are you doing with sweet milk tea in your tent, it can't be a special hospitality, right?

The county lord of Qingchuan chuckled, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, his voice seemed to be stained with the mellowness of milk tea, soft and with two points of teasing, "I just think that it is better to put stone honey in milk tea than salt." ”

Xiao Yan's face turned a little red, like a shallow rouge blurring on his face.

The county lord of Qingchuan stared, his heart skipped a beat, and he took another sip of the tea bowl, only to feel that the mellow and smooth taste slid down his throat from the tip of his tongue to his heart.

She took another sip of tea, rubbed her fingers lightly with the saucer, and half-squinted at the person opposite.

Guan Xia refilled Xiao Yan's empty bowl with milk tea and retreated.

Xiao Yan's attention is on tea, but no matter how much he likes sweets, he is also restrained, after drinking this bowl of tea, he put the tea bowl on the left hand side, indicating "no need to add more tea" - the etiquette of the Tubo aristocracy is not to move it after it is full, the family thinks that it is rude to the owner not to drink the tea full, and after drinking, put it on the left hand side to indicate "stop drinking", because the use of tea is the same as the use of food, it is the right hand.

After drinking half a cup of milk tea, the county lord of Qingchuan also put the tea bowl on his left hand.

Immediately put on a hot towel.

The two wiped their lips with a hot towel, wiped their hands with the other hot towel, and put them back on the plate.

Collect tea cups in summer and hot towels in autumn, the action is like flowing water, and it is obvious that you are used to doing it.

The county lord of Qingchuan instructed Qin Xin and Liancheng: "Pass the meal." ”

The second maid responded.

The county lord of Qingchuan turned back to Xiao Yan and smiled: "I can't stay in the Jingnan Army for a few days, you came back from training in the mountains, I should have left." This dinner is a thank you for your help in the snowy mountains, and it is also a farewell feast. The diet in the army is not fine, not as good as at home, let's use it as a feast. When you come to Chang'an in the future, I will thank you again. ”

Xiao Yan wanted to ask the county lord of Qingchuan what he was looking for her, and gave her the jade bottle and left, but she didn't think about having dinner here, and was about to refuse, but when she heard the county lord of Qingchuan say this, it was not good to say goodbye, so she said: "There is not so much attention in the army, just do your best." The county lord doesn't need to say much thanks, this is Xiao Yan's responsibility. ”

Guan Xia and Yue Qiu's eyes froze for a moment: This is the meaning of refusal, right? The county lord's offer was actually rejected - the first time!

The county lord of Qingchuan looked at Xiao Yan and smiled softly, the laughter seemed to be in the ice water, and the cold and flawless voice said: "Xiao Yuezhi, when I said I want to thank you, I naturally want to thank you." ”

As soon as Guan Xia and Yue Qiu heard this voice, they knew that the county lord was angry.

Xiao Yan said: "If you want to thank it, then thank you." "Anyway, she doesn't go to Chang'an, so why fight with her verbally.

There was a moment of silence in the tent.

The county lord of Qingchuan had a cold look in his eyes.

Xiao Yan felt that she seemed to have made the county lord angry, and muttered in her heart: Isn't it just a meal, and I'm still annoyed if I didn't promise you? It's too easy to get angry, right? glanced sideways at the two big maids in the tent, thinking that it was not easy to serve such a master.

The eyes of the county lord of Qingchuan became even colder.

Guan Xia and Yue Qiu shuddered in their hearts: Xiao Seventeen Langjun, don't look at us, look at the county lord, look at the county lord!

Xiao Yan actually only glanced at them - oh two eyes, one by one, and when she looked back, she saw that the eyes of the county lord of Qingchuan were like ice, she blinked, what's the matter, even more angry?

Xiao Yan thought for a while and asked, "County Lord, are you angry?" ”

The corner of the Qingchuan County Lord's lips hooked a cool smile, "What do you say?" ”

Xiao Yan remembered what Shang Qi said, "Women are sometimes duplicitous, when they say no, you have to treat it as yes, when they say yes, when they say yes, when they say yes, when they ask 'what do you say', it is for you to admit your mistakes", Xiao Yan didn't understand at the time, watching Shang Qi being chased all over the yard by Qi Niang, he was still wondering in his heart, this will suddenly understand, the county lord said "What do you say" means that she is "angry, this anger is caused by you".

Xiao Yan blinked, reflecting on which sentence he just said was wrong, it should be the sentence "If you want to thank you, thank you, right"? The tone seemed to be insincere-it was originally her casual and perfunctory words, but the county lord heard it, so he got angry.

Xiao Yan felt that the county lord might have regarded her as a friend, so she sincerely invited, and it was really wrong for her to perfunctory this sincerity, so she straightened her mentality, and the sincere county lord said: "If I go to Chang'an in the future, I will definitely go to you." Do you live in the Lord's Mansion? If you're staying in the palace, then I can't find you. ”

The county lord of Qingchuan's eyes were warm, and the smile on his lips warmed, and he looked at her for a while, and said softly: "Stretch out your hand." ”

Xiao Yan didn't know why, and stretched out his right hand.

The county lord of Qingchuan untied the jade pendant on his waist with his right hand, handed it to her, closed her hand, and shook it gently, "Put it away, don't drop it." In the future, with this, go to the county lord's mansion to find me. ”

Xiao Yan's gaze was a little divergent: ...... She wants to return something, why did she receive another one?

Can you not do it?

The county lord of Qingchuan chuckled and shouted, "Xiao Yuezhi? The voice is pleasant and light, but the eyes are threatening: do you dare to say no?

Xiao Yan muttered in her heart, the piece of jade pendant she took off with her shouldn't be such a treasure, right? Spread out your hand and looked, it is a piece of mutton fat white jade, although precious, but it is not rare for the royal family and the family, the front of the jade pendant is a relief of Ying Long, and the back is engraved with the word "into the eye", probably the same as the door post, it was put in the pocket of the military robe, the fingers touched the peace jade bottle, hesitated, heard the light footsteps outside the tent, and put down the jade bottle, and then take it out and return it to her after dinner.

Wei Chiting, who was standing outside the tent, lifted the tent curtain, Qin Xin and Liancheng took off their boots and entered the tent, turned around and took the food table from the hands of the two guards, and carried it inside.

Guan Xia and Yue Qiu lifted away the several cases of the county lord and Xiao Yan's intentions, Qin Xin and Liancheng put the food table in, and took bowls and spoons and put them on the table.

The county lord of Qingchuan said to Xiao Yan: "If you are simple in the army, let's set up a case." ”

Xiao Yan nodded, although sharing the food table is only the case for husbands and wives, brothers, sisters and very close friends, but the army is not a scholar's family, and there is not so much exquisiteness, even if Xiao Yan is a little surprised, he will not feel unreasonable.

She glanced at the dishes on the table, but her expression was a little surprised.

Of the twelve meat dishes, five or six are her favorites.

Seeing her expression, the Lord of Qingchuan County felt happy in his heart, it seemed that her preferences were similar to his own, and he smiled and said, "This is made according to my taste, borrowed from General Xiao's cook." Do you want to see if it's agreeable? ”

Xiao Yan raised her chopsticks, although she didn't say anything, but judging from her slightly raised eyebrows, she was still very satisfied.

She thought in her heart, Aunt Seventh should also be mouthful, and this Zhao Chef raised really wants to praise it, and it is not far from the cooking skills in Chenghe Courtyard, but it is a little worse than what Qi Niang did.

Although the two of them shared the case, they still shared the food, and all kinds of dishes were in duplicate, respectively served on small plates, with a total of ten dishes and two soups, and the amount of food after the dishes was not much.

Fortunately, the amount is small, Xiao Yan has used up every plate, even the dishes she doesn't like have been eaten. If it is at the family banquet, it is a shame to eat every dish cleanly, but this is a military camp. Many of her soldiers were from poor peasant families, and it was a great gift to be able to eat a full meal, and when she arrived in the army, she knew the value of food, and if she couldn't finish the meal, she would be severely punished in the army.

The county lord of Qingchuan obviously knew this rule in the army, and the amount of each dish was less than that at the family banquet, and the dishes in front of her were also bare, and the two soups were also divided between the two, and there was no soup left in the soup bowl.

Xiao Yan thinks that this county lord is very good, although he is a bit shameless in some aspects, but he is very good at dealing with people, without the arrogance and domineering of the prince and concubine, he can still let go. figure, abide by the rules of the army, and have a little more affection for the lord of Qingchuan.

"Dinner is very pleasant, thank you Lord Shire." Xiao Yan wiped his lips and thanked him.

The county lord of Qingchuan remembered the last few dishes she ate, obviously she didn't like them, and she also ate them with a slight brow, so she laughed, "Don't worry, next time there will be no incense, and there will be no flower soft beef intestines, Shengping scorching ......."

Xiao Yan heard what she said about the dishes she didn't like, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "The cook's skills are very good, but I don't like to eat fried meat, beef intestines, sheep tongue, and deer tongue." ”

Lord Qingchuan looked at her with soft eyes and a soft voice, "Well, I see." ”

The faces of the four maids froze, they were used to the county lord's careless eyes and a thin and cool tone, what kind of trouble was it to be so gentle all of a sudden? - If the princess went back and asked them, did the county lord lie to anyone, and would they say it or not? The other party is Xiao's Langjun, this ...... It's hard to make a good life.

In the entanglement of the four maids, they still served the two of them very quickly to rinse their mouths and clean their hands, withdraw the food table, and serve tea and soup. This time, the tea soup is not milk tea, but orange peel tea.

After using up a bowl of orange peel tea, Xiao Yan felt that it was time, reached into his pocket, took out the peace jade bottle, put it on a few cases and said: "This is the county lord who has fallen down, and the thing will be returned to the original owner." ”

When the lord of Qingchuan County saw that she took out the jade bottle from her pocket instead of taking it out from her neck, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes were cold again after hearing her words.

Xiao Yuezhi, I really have to rebel against her favor when I go back!

Is she so reluctant to ask for her favor?

The county lord of Qingchuan was angry in his heart, and his voice was as cold as ice beads bursting out, "Xiao Yuezhi, I said, this is for you." ”

Liancheng said in his heart, it turned out that the county lord asked her to take a peace vase last time to give it to this Xiao Seventeen Langjun. In the past, the county lord also gave away people a peace vase, but she rarely gave away the peace vase given to her by the crown princess, unless it was extremely close - is this Xiao Seventeen Langjun also "extremely close" in the heart of the county lord? This is the Langjun of the Xiao family, will you change your business, the county lord?

Xiao Yan didn't care whether the county lord of Qingchuan was angry or not this time, and said: "The name of the county lord is engraved on the bottom of this bottle, is it for the county lord to bless safety, or is it better for the county lord to wear it." ”

The corners of the four maids' mouths twitched, is this an expression of "I don't want to engrave your name", is this the meaning?

The county lord of Qingchuan had dark eyes and stared at Xiao Yan.

The warm felt tent seemed to be filled with ice, and the temperature plummeted.

The four maids shivered silently, and said in their hearts: Xiao Seventeen Langjun, you have to hold on, refuse the county lord and don't waver! ――It's best to let the county lord have a bad feeling for you, and then forget about it.

Xiao Yan's pure black eyes met the angry eyes of the county lord of Qingchuan, fearless, clear and innocent.

The county lord of Qingchuan suddenly remembered that when she was in the Hengma Mountain Valley, when she was facing the situation of possible death, she also had such eyes, not afraid, clear and calm.

Her mood was complicated for a while, there was anger, appreciation, and a kind of frustration, a kind of helplessness that didn't know how to treat this person - how she treated her, I'm afraid Xiao Yuezhi didn't care. This kind of cognition made the county lord of Qingchuan even more annoyed.

Or, just knock her out and beat her up?

The county lord of Qingchuan felt that he was holding his breath in his heart, Xiao Yuezhi rejected her several times, he really didn't know what to do!

Xiao Yan intuitively felt that the eyes of the county lord of Qingchuan had become dangerous, so she immediately got up and saluted the county lord: "If the county lord has no other instructions, Xiao Yan will return to the camp first." ”

The county lord of Qingchuan half-squinted, his eyes were cold.

Xiao Yan raised his hand again and saluted, "County Lord, Xiao Yan retires." He took three steps back, turned and walked away.

The county lord of Qingchuan looked at her back, his eyes narrowed and narrowed.

Xiao Yan put on his boots and went out of the tent.

The tent was as cold as an ice cave, and even the lights on the candlesticks seemed to be covered with a thin layer of blue cold.

The four maids lowered their heads, silent, but they were praising in their hearts: Xiao Seventeen Langjun, well done!

Xiao Yan came out of the tent and saw that it was already dark, and there were pine resin torches lit on the pillars outside the tent, unlike fire oil torches, there was a smell, and the county lord's tent area was still different from the ordinary barracks. She nodded to Wei Chiting, who was standing outside the tent, and only took a few steps, but suddenly remembered that she didn't know the password tonight, and she would definitely not let her go on the way back to the camp, so she stopped and hesitated to ask the county lord of Qingchuan if she wanted to go back to the tent. After thinking about it, let's ask this lieutenant guard first.

She turned around and walked back, when she heard the voice of the county lord of Qingchuan coming from the tent: "Wei Chiting, you send Captain Xiao back to the camp." ”

Wei Chiting responded, "Yes, county lord." ”

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, the county lord is still reasonable. Raised his hand and saluted to the tent door, "Lord Xie." He turned around and walked with Yu Chiting.

The footsteps are far away.

The county lord of Qingchuan raised his hand and threw the jade bottle on the case.

The four maids jumped for eyelids.

On the ground was a thick and soft wool carpet, and the jade bottle was not broken.

The county lord of Qingchuan said angrily: "Drop it, don't show it to me." ”

Liancheng responded, stepped forward to pick up the jade bottle, returned to its original position, and said in his heart: This peace bottle was given by the crown princess, but it can't be dropped.

She still took it back, anyway, there were so many treasure bottles in the box, and the county lord didn't know which one it was.

Liancheng praised his wit.

The author has something to say: Remarks:

1. Yinsheng tea: the predecessor of Pu'er tea. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was called Pu'er tea, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was named Pu'er tea (named after the place name of Pu'er in Yunnan).

2. Stone honey: The name of sucrose from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, but the sucrose at that time was not as white as it is today, probably light yellow.

3. The Tibetan people drink butter tea, that is, yak milk or goat milk is refined to make fat, the beef fat or mutton fat is boiled and filtered out of the tea to boil and dissolve, and then salt is added (sugar was rarely put in the past).

4. Guomen Xiang (all kinds of meat are fried together), Tonghua soft beef intestine (cooked in mutton fat), Shengping Grill (mixed with mutton tongue with deer tongue)——
