Spring Forest Evening

After Shen Fu's bowl of noodles, he ate some mixed flavors.

I was very happy at the beginning. I felt that after more than three years, I finally ate a serious braised pork. It was cooked by the lovable girl in front of me. It's been a long time and my stomach is really hungry, so I ate very deliciously.

It was only later that I heard Zhou Heng mention Shen Yi, the indispensable master, so I naturally thought of my mother and concubine, and thought of my joy when I was a child when I ate the braised pork she made by herself. The concubine cooks for her father and the king every now and then. Even though many years have passed, the scene of the father and son meeting each other to grab the last piece of braised pork on the plate is as vivid as it is in front of my eyes, and the laughter of the family is still as vivid as my ears.

Speaking of which, the eldest sister actually never liked to eat this kind of braised pork since she was a child, and she also hated cooking. Even when she was asked by her concubine to learn to cook braised pork with her, she was quite reluctant. She stood outside the kitchen and refused to go in for a long time. She didn't learn it very hard, and now her skill, which is said to be unique in the circle of noble girls in the capital, should have been learned from her grandmother and aunt at her grandfather's house after the death of her mother and concubine.

Thinking of this, Shen Fu's thoughts became a little complicated. Looking at the girl in front of him, he thought that God had pity on him and let her escape from death several times, and now he is still by his side, but the concubine mother is not as lucky as her. Now the tombs are already luxuriant with grass, even the taste of the braised pork she made back then is still fresh in people's memory.

To be honest, although the two of them are my closest relatives, the taste of the concubine's cooking is still different from what Ah Heng is making now. Just now I tasted the difference after taking a bite, although they are both delicious...

Zhou Heng secretly watched Shen Fu eating noodles. At first, he saw that his face was full of joy when he found that there was braised pork underneath. Later, he tasted it with relish. Afterwards, something was wrong when he looked at it, as if he was very moved. His Adam's apple kept sliding, as if he was trying his best to control his emotions. When he looked carefully, there was still a little sparkle in the corner of his eyes.

Can't it?What's the matter, modern girls, except for those who are rich and powerful, or who are really not interested in cooking, who hasn't cooked by themselves?Although there are also convenient and fast food such as takeaways, it is only by doing it yourself that you can have enough food and clothing!

Zhou Heng said something pointedly while eating, and his tone deliberately pretended to be brisk:

"Maybe it's because it's not ready yet, but I've tried my best. Anyway, it's only the first time. Please forgive me, Prince Jing, but if it's really hard to eat, don't eat it. I'll ask Elder Sister for advice later. I'm in a hurry, and my cooking skills are really not that good—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Shen Fu put down the chopsticks, got up and hugged himself, his chin resting on the top of his head, hugging him a little tighter, feeling really excited.

"Oh," Zhou Heng said hurriedly while hugging him back, "It doesn't seem too bad to eat, it's so delicious, right?"

But before Shen Fu could reply, in the silence, he could only let him hug him tightly, but after a while, he heard a muffled words from above:

"Yes, this bowl of birthday noodles made by Ah Heng tastes really good!"

The taste is very good, you don't have to be so moved, Zhou Heng wanted to make fun of him, but he immediately thought of it, Shen Fu lost his composure at this moment, there must be something else in his mind.

As for what it is, birthday, apart from the people in front of you, the parents who gave birth to him must be the most important thing to think of. Unfortunately, Shen Fu's father, king and mother are no longer there, and what Shen Yi said just now is that the braised pork thank you The concubine also often does it for him, and now she must be thinking about others after seeing things.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng didn't say anything, but continued to hug his waist tightly.

It took a long time for Shen Fu to calm down, and he sat back silently and continued to eat the noodles with his head down. This made Zhou Heng next to him see mixed feelings, so that when Chuntao came back to clean up the dishes, he had already secretly ordered decided:

Tonight... it's better not to go out in peace.

Anyway, there is still the Chilong jade pendant to give to him, so we have to discuss the empress's thoughts at that time.

So when Chun Tao knew how to sleep in the inner room, Zhou Heng took the picture of the lotus beauty drawn by Shen Fu before and the jade pendant given by Empress Jiang to the opposite compartment. Seeing that her emotions had basically recovered, she was sitting on the edge of Luohan's bed in silence, not knowing what she was thinking. When she saw her coming, she raised her head and stretched out her hand, saying something:

"Just now I ran into Eldest Sister at the gate of the mansion, and she asked me to come back and ask you about the jade pendant."

Zhou Heng nodded, handed him the jade pendant wrapped in a handkerchief, and then sat down beside him, while watching Shen Fu turn over and over to carefully identify the jade pendant in his hand, he relayed to him what Shen Yi said in a low voice.

At the end, he curiously asked his two questions together: "Ah Fu, is this jade pendant very valuable? The priceless one?"

I used to know nothing about jade in the 21st century. I only knew that jade was priceless, and I didn't know how valuable this royal-quality jade ornament was.

Another question is naturally about Shen Fu: "Also, Ah Fu, the empress empress gave you such a jade pendant with a dragon. It is said that it was given to her by the emperor before. Could it be to trick you?"

Although Shen Yi has said before that even if Shen Fu wears this item publicly, it is not considered presumptuous, but after all, it was once the emperor's item, so it is better to be cautious.

In fact, there was still a question in my heart, but I was too embarrassed to say it, Zhou Heng endured it, and decided to wait for the answers to these two questions.

Shen Fu didn't seem to expect Zhou Heng to ask such two questions, and he laughed when he heard it.

Zhou Heng immediately knew that these two questions of his were probably ridiculous, and he couldn't help being a little embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly tried to stop Shen Fu from continuing to laugh. It can be seen that his brows are relaxed at the moment, thinking of the way he tried to control his emotions just now, Then he felt that it would be good to make him happy, so in the end, he slapped Shen Fu's arm lightly and said angrily:

"Okay, don't blame those who don't know, don't laugh at me!"

"Okay." Although the corners of Shen Fu's mouth were still raised, he quickly tried his best to control his smile, hugged Zhou Heng, and explained to her while holding the Chilong Jade Pendant:

"Although this white jade is distributed in many places, the best quality is the same as that of black jade. It is mostly found in rivers and shoals in the deep desert or at the bottom of snowy mountains in the north. But this jade pendant, look at it under the light, looks oily. It is lustrous, fine and uniform in texture, and transparent without any impurities inside. It is a rare suet white jade, and this Chilong pattern is simple and magnificent, and the knife technique is thick and sharp. It must be made by a famous master. Therefore, although It may not be priceless, but it is also a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation."

After thinking about it, I added a sentence: "Just now you said that the empress said that the emperor gave it to her when he was in the residence? Then this jade pendant must have some origins. I will rub it and write a letter to Uncle He to ask about it. Does he know anything else?"

After answering the first question, seeing that Zhou Heng also took the jade pendant and raised his head to look carefully, he smiled again:

"You little money fan, let me tell you the truth, unless you break a jade pendant with this pattern, you can't exchange the whole piece for money."

"I know. Chilong represents identity. Who would dare to buy the jade pendant used by the prince? It won't work if you buy it. I just want to observe the characteristics you mentioned." Zhou Heng put down the jade pendant and used the veil underneath. It was re-wrapped and returned to Shen Fu, and said:

"So this kind of jade ornament with a specific pattern is like a token. Seeing things is like seeing people, right?"

Speaking of this, I can't help but feel moved, so the empress wants to take it as a token, right?
