The Golden Hairpin

At the rest area next to the batting field, everyone took off their jerseys outside and prepared to go back after taking a break.

Zhao Wang had been prepared a long time ago, and he had ordered people to put the things he had brought. A basin of icy debris was placed on the table in front of the few people, and the air-conditioning rose like smoke and mist.

Several crystal glasses were placed on the table, ready to pour wine. It is a pity that several guards and eunuchs carried the wine barrels, their arms were unstable, and they splashed outside several times.

"I'm coming." Zhang Xingying said, took the wine barrel, and lifted it up with one hand. He has a stalwart figure and strong arms. He hugged a barrel weighing more than a hundred kilograms in his arms.

King Zhao happily put the crystal cup on the ice town, and asked Zhang Xingying, "What is your name, Zhang Xingying? Good skill, so let’s go, if the Beijing Defense Department doesn’t want you, I want you! You just follow me. Pour me wine every day!"

Zhang Xingying is shy and can't speak, just smiles awkwardly.

King E first gave Li Shubai a glass of fine wine: "Four brothers, this is the wine obtained by the nine brothers from Tocharuo from the Western Regions. It is known as three steamed and three dried wines. The color is good, you can taste it."

"It's pretty good." Li Shubai gave only four simple words, but it was enough to make King Zhao proud, and smiled at King E: "Seven brother, you only like drinking tea, but you don't know the benefits of wine. Especially when you hit a ball. , And drink a few more glasses of iced wine. At this point in your life, you will be an old man. It’s best if it’s just hot from the oven."

Gulouzi is a kind of mutton pie that is popular nowadays, which is very popular among people in Beijing. Zhou Ziqin, who was tossing around to study horseshoes next to him, immediately raised his head and said, "I like to eat too. Why don't you go to my house and let the cook make one."

Zhao Wang shook his head: "Now when you ask someone to do it, when will you wait?"

Zhang Xingying was beside him and stopped talking, Huang Zixia asked, "Second Brother Zhang, it's almost noon, don't you go back first?"

Zhang Xingying hurriedly said: "When I came in the morning, my sister and I said that today is a big day, and they want to make me an ancient building and wait for me to eat. Or...I will go home now and bring it over."

"Huh?" King Zhao suddenly came to his mind, "Is your sister doing well?"

"I think it's good, but lamb is expensive, she has never cooked it for me..."

"Then don't go home and take it, the ancient building should be steamed out of the stove and eat!" Zhao Wang raised his hand to the wine and the table, "Go, pack things, and eat directly!"

Huang Zixia couldn't laugh or cry, and followed the three princes on the court.

Huang Zixia thought of one thing, and asked: "Second Brother Zhang, don't you only have one brother? Where is the younger sister?"

Zhang Xingying's face flushed with a brush, almost buried her head in her chest: "Far... far away."

Li Shubai glanced at them, the inconspicuous group of people, and naturally would not join in the excitement. He left the sentence "something is wrong" at the door, and then parted ways with them and left it out in Zhongshu.

The remaining few people rode on horses and headed for Puning Fang in a lively manner.

Zhou Ziqin quietly told Huang Zixia and Zhang Xingying, "Do you know? King Zhao once woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly wanted to listen to the girl Yuzhi playing the flute. So..."

Having said this, he sneered and snickered, but didn't go on.

Wang Zhao’s ears were very sharp in front, and he had already heard it. He turned around and smiled and cursed at him: "Zhou Ziqin, you bastard, such a silly thing tossed over and over and said, this king’s face will be lost by you! Isn’t this king changed? The guardian's clothes were sneaked out, and then caught by the Beijing Defense Department, so he squatted at the Yamen for the whole night, and didn't let me out until Wang Yun came over the next day?"

Even the king of Hubei Li Run couldn't help but smile. The cinnabar mole looked particularly moving between his stretched eyebrows: "Nine brother, you are really absurd. The people from the Beijing Defense Department naturally refuse to believe that you are King Zhao."

"So, it's really great to suppress their arrogance today!" Zhao Wang waved his whip and laughed, "Yang Chonggu, next time there is such a good thing, call me!"

Huang Zixian looked at this unspeakable prince, and had no choice but to pretend that he hadn't heard it, and turned his face to the side with a wry smile.

Under the big locust tree in Puningfang, a bunch of idlers were still sitting around, spreading gossip: "Hey, the second son of the old Zhang family was driven back by Duan Ruitang yesterday, do you know?"

"Hurry up. People have picked up a beautiful daughter-in-law for nothing. It's worth working in Duanruitang for a lifetime!"

"Hey, don't tell me, I think that little girl is a little bit wrong. Last night, I heard a faint young woman sobbing in his yard! It's so oozing... Was it beaten by Zhang Xingying? what?"

"No? I can't see that he is such a person..."

Listening to other people’s gossip, Zhang Xingying looked at them a little helplessly and awkwardly, and stammered and explained: "It... actually they are talking about Adi, she is not my distant relative, I see her without father and mother. By the side of the road, she was very poor, so I took her home. We...we are fine, and we will be...just..."

Everyone looked at his red face, and it was immediately obvious that Zhou Ziqin had played a game with him, as if he were already brothers, and he immediately roared: "Okay, when will we get married, let's have a wedding drink!"

"It's not decided yet... The main thing is that there is not much money at home now. Oh, please go here." He was so cautious that he almost found a hole to drill down, and quickly led them to the house.

Although Zhang's house is not big, the yard is not small and it is really clean and tidy.

Outside the courtyard is a row of hibiscus hedges, a pomegranate tree on the left, a grape rack on the right, and stone tables and stools under the shelves. Next to the house, a canal from outside was brought in, and a small pond was set up with three or four red carps. There was a cluster of irises and a few irises by the pond, fresh and lovely.

At this moment, a young girl was squatting by the small pond to clean the white hibiscus that had just been picked. When she heard the sound of someone coming in, she stood up and looked back at the group of people in front of her in panic. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhang Xingying. Nene called him: "Second Brother Zhang."

"Adi, that... when you went out in the morning, you said you helped me build the ancient building, and then they were..."

"It's a friend, Brother Zhang's friend, who came here to eat the ancient building you made." Zhao Wang laughed and interrupted Zhang Xingying.

The young girl named Adi looks very beautiful, like the watery hibiscus flower in her hand. Although not a gorgeous flower, the fresh and delicate young girl's breath is particularly moving. She seemed very afraid of life, so she nodded slightly at them, then lowered her head to hold up the washed white hibiscus, and turned around and entered the house.

Zhang Xingying hurriedly greeted everyone to enter the house, but Wang Zhao waved his hand, ordered people to put the wine under the grape rack, and sat down on the stone bench at will, and said to King E: "This little yard is really nice, it’s more interesting than your tea room, Brother Qi. too much."

E Wang Li Run smiled helplessly and motioned to Huang Zixia and Zhou Ziqin to sit down too.

Zhang Xingying took out an ancient building two feet square from the inside and placed it on the table. The pie was burnt, crispy and bright yellow, with a fragrant aroma, which made one's index finger move. Everyone couldn't wait to break a piece and taste it. The fragrance of mutton was mixed in the crispy inside of the crust. The deliciousness of the mouth was so delicious that it was not as delicious as the world.

Several people were hungry just after playing, and they felt that this ancient building tasted wonderful. King Zhao almost grabbed half of it and ate it in his hand, and asked, "Zhang Xingying, is this the girl who just made this?"

Zhang Xingying nodded and said, "She said she will make another hibiscus egg flower soup. Everyone, eat slowly, and I will help."

After he finished speaking, Fei ran inside. Holding a piece of cake in Huang Zixia's hand, she paced to the door to see that the Adi girl was beating eggs by the stove, and Zhang Xingying was sitting there burning.

The fire spewed in the chamber, and a piece of wood ash flew out and stuck to Zhang Xingying's face. Adi whispered to him, pointed to her cheek, Zhang Xingying looked up at her, wiped her face indiscriminately, but the ash was smeared on his face.

Ah Di shook his head helplessly, so he could only quickly pour the egg in his hand into the pot, stir it twice with chopsticks, then walked to Zhang Xingying's side, bent down, raised his cuffs to help him gently wipe the dust off.

Zhang Xingying raised her head and smiled at her, her smile a little silly, slightly flushed by the occasional flames from the stove.

Huang Zixia's face couldn't help but show a smile. She remembered the spring day of a certain year, when someone climbed to the mountain wall to pick the most blooming flower for her, there was dust on her cheek.

At that time, she also used her cuffs to gently wipe him off, and smiled at him.

Maybe all the women in the world are like this.

The smile on her cheek has not faded, and she has already felt a sharp pain in her heart. The kind of pain that was almost a blunt knife cutting meat made her only hold on to the wall, squat down slowly, hug her knees, and pant desperately to keep herself calm.

That person had cut off from her.

But for him, she became a murderer who was arrested by all over the world to slaughter relatives.

If she hadn't fallen in love with him, perhaps her parents, her brother, her grandmother and uncle would still be living happily in Shu, and all nightmarish things would not happen.

"...Respect the ancients, the ancients?"

She heard Zhou Ziqin's voice, echoing in her ears.

Lifting his head, he saw Zhou Ziqin's face, concerned and nervous: "Chonggu, what's the matter with you?"

"I..." She recovered slowly, looking at him in front of her, before squeezing out a word for a long time, "Probably because I was too tired just playing."

"Hey, you are too brave. Fortunately, Lord Kui helped you on the court, otherwise, you must be dizzy on the court." Zhou Ziqin said as he pulled her to the stone table and sat down, come, "Drink a bowl." The soup, the fresh hibiscus is really smooth and sweet, you definitely like it!"

Huang Zixia took the soup in his hand, took a sip, nodded and said, "It's really delicious."

King E also admired: "It's still fresh and delicious, much better than those in Wangfuzhong who wait for us to pass the meal on the stove all day long."

Zhao Wang asked Zhang Xingying: "Is her name Adi? Would you like to help me in my house? Every time I play, she will be an ancient mansion and wait for me to go home!"

Huang Zixian was silent while holding the bowl.

It turns out that this king Zhao simply likes to dig around corners, and wants to get home if there is something he likes. Counting her time, I have seen him trying to dig people three times.

But I heard Zhang Xingying say: "Lord, forgive me, Ah Di was really picked up on the roadside when I went into the mountain to collect medicine last month. Her family background is unknown, and she doesn’t even go out every day, so I don’t think she can serve the prince. ."

Zhou Ziqin was surprised: "What? Is it really found by the roadside?"

"Yes, yeah, she fainted on the side of the mountain road, I just went to collect medicine, so I carried her home..."

Zhou Ziqin couldn't help being envious and jealous: "Just pick someone on the side of the road, and you can pick up such a beautiful and lovely girl, and she can cook so well. It's a big luck!"

Huang Zixian groaned and asked, "What is the origin of Adi girl, where is her family, and why did she pass out on the mountain road?"

Zhang Xingying was taken aback for a moment and said, "She... She didn't mention it, so I won't ask."

Huang Zixia saw his eyes avoiding, and he could tell from his expression that he seemed to be hiding something. But then she thought, she was just an outsider, and they are so good together now, so why bother to ask about those things, there is no need to increase the knot and trouble them.

Zhou Ziqin thought of something and quickly said: "By the way, Brother Zhang, my father will have a tail dinner next month and entertain the emperor at home. We must let her help us be an ancient mansion by then!"

"That's okay. When you are done, you can send it over quickly. This kind of weather guarantees that you will burn your mouth when you go to the table."

Several people admired Ah Di's cooking skills, but found that E Wang Li Run had been looking at the hall with a trance.

Huang Zixia followed his gaze, only to find that he was looking at a painting on the desk.

In the main room, there was originally a piece of Fu Lu Shou Xi, but another one-foot-wide and three-foot-long painting was hung in front of the Fu Lu Shou Xi picture. The texture of this painting is very good. On the snow-white silk, there is a piece of Shujun jute paper. The painting on it is a mess of black ink. There are no lines or clear shapes. It does not look like a painting, but it looks like an inkstone has been overturned. The stains left behind.

E Wang Li Run looked at the painting, his face gradually turned pale.
