June summer, it is the hottest time, even at night is also hot.
Listen to the rain garden of the third-class little girls, every incense incense time, from the backyard well brought two buckets of cold well water, in the courtyard sprinkled once, the use of cold well water evaporation effect, to reduce the temperature.
In the house, especially in the study, there are seven or eight pots of ice, and when they are almost finished, there are maids who bring new pots of ice to replace them.
Zhu Pingan and Li Shu in the study to play chess to cool down the summer heat, put several plates of fruit, near Zhu Pingan hand side of the fruit are used deep well cool water plucked, and then cut the plate, the reason why do not use ice, because chilled fruit is not good for the stomach.
The fruits on Li Shu’s hand were all room temperature, and the fruits were oranges, peaches and other warm fruits.
At first, the two of them were playing chess normally, but as the game progressed, the chess began to take on a metaphysical colour.
“Erm, how did you fly the bishop and pawn at the same time?”
Zhu Pingan watched as Li Shu held a bishop in one hand and a pawn in the other, each taking a move at the same time, and instantly laughed breathlessly.
This scene was not unfamiliar, previously when he had just been successful in the imperial examination, he had played chess with Li Shu, and Li Shu had even recited the Past Life Mantra to resurrect the pawns that had been eaten by Zhu Pingan.
“Because mine is an elephant cavalry ah, specially recruited from Annan it.”
Li Shu held her fragrant cheeks in one pair of slender jade hands and looked at Zhu Pingan, blinking with an innocent face, selling a handful of cute.
“Er, okay.”
Zhu Pingan glanced at Li Shu, just one glance and she collapsed and surrendered, from Zhu Pingan’s point of view, not only did he see Li Shu winking her eyes and selling her moe, but he also saw a pair of little cuties under Li Shu’s goose-yellow breasts that were crying out to be seen, hidden and hidden.
Why does it feel like it’s getting bigger again ……
“Hey, it’s your turn ……”
Li Shu’s delicate voice urged, and did not notice Zhu Pingan’s eyes, otherwise Zhu Pingan would have to receive another blank stare.
Zhu Pingan was dazzled by Li Shu’s leaking spring light, and hearing Li Shu’s urging, he made a bad move with a weak heart, and just walked the cannon on Li Shu’s cannon.
“Cluck cluck cluck ……I want to play ……Cannon.”Li Shu smiled like a flower, stretching out her slender jade hand to pinch up the cannon and hit Zhu Pingan’s cannon.
I want to hit ……Cannon?
Li Shu certainly will not know the meaning of this sentence in modern times, but Zhu Pingan is clear, listening to Li Shu’s this sentence, Zhu Pingan immediately thought of some children’s inappropriate images, coupled with the Li Shu smile when the flower branches trembling, the spring light is leaked ……Zhu Pingan’s ears were hot in his heart, and his eyes were also hot in his heart……
This little vixen!
For a while, Zhu Pingan’s heart was thumping hard, his body was like on fire, and his throat was a little dry.
He mentally recited the Great Compassion Mantra several times before he extinguished the fire that was burning in his heart.
“Hey, it’s your turn again.”
Li Shu playfully stretched out her little foot and gently kicked Zhu Pingan’s thigh under the table.
With a single kick, Zhu Pingan’s heart fire, which had only been extinguished after reciting the Great Compassion Mantra several times, was lit up again.
Auntie, don’t you feel that you kicked the wrong place?
“Ahem ……Good.”
Zhu Pingan slightly arched his back, coughed twice with a reddened face, and casually made a move.
This cancels out the other.
Li Shu’s own home field advantage, coupled with the benefits of bishop cavalry and expert pawns, generalised Zhu Pingan in a few rounds.
“Nerd, if you had been like this ……”
Li Shu thought that Zhu Pingan was deliberately letting her win this time, and couldn’t help but think of the last time she played chess, that time Zhu Pingan came to borrow a book from his home after he was successful in the imperial examination, and he played chess with him, and won two games in a row, causing himself to use his bishop cavalry and high hand pawns, and this nerd didn’t even let himself win ……If only this idiot had learnt to give in to his own ……Maybe, maybe he would have ……
Thinking of this, Li Shu then could not help but a pair of big watery eyes cloudy and foggy white Zhu Pingan a glance, a cherry mouth curved up an upturned arc.
Er
Early?
Zhu Pingan was startled, and thought that Li Shu had found out that she had peeped, but looking at Li Shu’s reaction, he realised that it was not the case.
After a moment’s thought, he realised that Li Shu had mistakenly thought that he had given way to her.
Fortunately.
Zhu Pingan let out a breath.
“Again.”
After winning a game, Li Shu excitedly set up the chess board again, as if she wanted to win back all the previous games she lost to Zhu Pingan.
While the two of them were playing their second game of chess, the little bun maid, Painting Er, came in from outside with a lurch.
“Auntie, Miss, just now the concierge sent word inside that someone from the palace has come and sent two large baskets of fruits to Auntie.”
The bun little maid said with an excited face.
“People from the palace sending fruit at this time?”
The palace? Zhu Pingan was stunned at the words, was it rewarded by Emperor Jiajing? How to reward fruit at night ah, this time outside should be curfew, right?
“What’s strange about this, the south into the fruit are fast horses sent to the capital, can rush how much block rush how fast, not to mention this time, is also possible in the early morning, to take advantage of the freshness to the palace it, the curfew will not stop. Every year at this time, the emperor received the fruit, will reward some of the subjects underneath. Yesterday morning, the saint rewarded meritorious military generals with fresh fruits and melons, and the palace was given a basket of Jiangnan peaches.”
When Li Shu heard that the palace sent fruits to Zhu Pingan, or two baskets, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows and smile.
Yesterday morning the mansion received the peaches rewarded by the palace, the old madam and great aunt were as happy as can be, and couldn’t stop saying something about thanking His Majesty for his grace and remembering these meritorious officials ……
There are three misses, six misses they are also honourable, in front of Li Shu is full of superiority, can not stop talking about what Jiangnan’s peaches are the most delicious but, especially the imperial peach is delicious in the delicious, only the third grade or more officers have this kind of welfare, other people want to eat can’t eat, last year they only ate once, they can’t forget it.
Showed a morning of superiority ……
There is nothing to show off!
Yesterday, when she came back from asking for peace, Li Shu took one of the peaches she was given and casually threw it to the accompanying maids to eat.
Soon, there were several strong women carrying two large baskets of fruits into Listening to the Rain, one basket of Jiangnan peaches, one basket of Annan longan.
The baskets were very large and substantial, one basket could almost combine five or six baskets of fruit.
Also understand clearly.
Jiangnan tribute of fresh fruit rushed in today before curfew sent to the palace, Jiajing Emperor tasted very happy, ordered the Chinese officials will be part of the fruit to the two emperor’s teacher, each of the emperor’s teacher to give a basket of fresh fruit.
Zhu Pingan today to the two emperors preaching, is also considered the two emperors of the teacher, just also have a share.
And because each emperor’s teacher gives a basket, Zhu Pingan took up the space, as Yu Wang teacher got a basket, as King King teacher got a basket, all of a sudden, got two baskets.
“Just said Annan, Annan’s longan actually arrived, at this time Jiangnan’s longan still has more than a month to ripen.”After Li Shu looked at the fruits, her pretty face was even more smiling and beckoned, ordering a few maids to pick up a basket each of peaches and longans, and send them over to the old madam and great aunt’s side respectively.
“Oh yes, since it’s an imperial gift of fruit, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, sixth sister and their side, also send a basket over to taste the freshness. Doesn’t sixth sister love Jiangnan peaches, tell her that if it’s not enough, let her send someone over to fetch it again.”
Li Shu clapped her little hands and instructed the maid underneath, her eyes curving into a sweet crescent moon.
