“Auntie, here you come.” Murong Chao put down his axe and happily stepped forward to meet me. He only wore a single coat, cuffs rolled to his shoulders, and his healthy and shiny skin glowed in the spring sunshine. When he entered the room, he saw him chopping wood in front of the kitchen door, his face covered with sweat. The whole person exudes a forceful youth that cannot be ignored, which makes people feel emotional.
“How about your mother and Jing’er?” Looking around, I saw him alone at home.
“They’ve gone for the laundry.”
I took out my handkerchief and handed it to him. Murong Chao took it, but didn’t wipe it. He looked at the tent in his hand embarrassedly: “How can such a beautiful veil get soiled by Chaoer’s smelly sweat?”
He wanted to return the veil to me. He stretched his hand halfway but shrunk it back: “Although Chaoer washed it and returned it to her aunt. This veil was soiled by Chaoer’s hand…”
I smiled and said it was okay, he did not answer, put the veil into the sleeve. Wipe the sweat casually with the cuffs and let me into the house. I took out the ointment for removing blood and promoting blood circulation and gave it to him. Last night, he and Helianbo wrestled, and there were many injuries on his face.
Without a mirror, seeing Chaoer apply it by himself, I took the ointment, let him sit down, and I cleaned it for him.
“Auntie, Liu Bobo suddenly fainted last night, is it your reason?” I smeared a cracked skin on his cheekbones. He sighed very softly, but he did not avoid his head and opened his beautiful big eyes. Watching my reaction, the fine light flashed in the dark black pupil.
“Hush” the index finger over your mouth: “That’s Aunt’s self-defense weapon, don’t tell anyone.”
He pondered for a while and still fixed his eyes on me: “There is such a powerful hidden weapon in this world.”
I smiled embarrassingly and shifted the topic: “Is there any injury on my body?”
He nodded and pulled his jacket to his waist, with several bruises on his shoulders. I smeared the ointment and rubbed it with the palm of my hand. He clenched his teeth in pain. The sunlight outside came in and blew on his fair skin. The body muscles are tight and firm, and they are very impressive.
“He Liubobo is nothing! But he is a descendant of the ruined small Xiongnu country, and he is no one in the eyes of Yao Xing!” He gritted his teeth, “I am Murongchao a hundred times stronger than him. If it is not fortunate, why not fall here.” ?”
I was stunned, his men couldn’t help but he made a pain, and I apologized in a hurry. I thought that Helianbo’s father Liu Weichen was a singular Xiongnu, and his strength was weak, and indeed he was not as good as Murongchao’s parents. Among his many uncles, there are three emperors, Murong Jun, Murong Chui, and Murong De, who are the heroes of the Murong family.
Seeing me have been stunned at him, his white face slowly emerged from the red cloud. Looking up at me, my eyes are flowing, and my breath seems a little unstable. Suddenly felt a bit ambiguous with his posture, he was no longer the four-year-old imp. Quickly distanced him and let him put on his clothes.
He hummed and tied his clothes with his belt. Turned to face me, lowered my voice and asked: “Aunt knows, my uncle has become emperor in Qingzhou?”
I nodded. He continued to lower his voice and said: “Chaoer has been looking for opportunities to sneak into Qingzhou and recognize his uncle. Uncle has no children, Chaoer is already his closest relative.”
“Qingzhou is in Shandong, thousands of miles away from Chang’an. Besides, there is Wei Guo in the middle of Tuoba and Jin Guo in the south. It must be dangerous along the way. How can you get it with your mother wife?” I really hope He gave up this idea, and lived with his mother and wife in a down-to-earth manner, not to embark on such a tragic fate.
He sighed for a long time, and Jun Lang’s brow furrowed: “Chaoer couldn’t figure out what to do. Uncle didn’t know that I was still alive. Even in Qingzhou, I was a civilian, and I couldn’t easily see the emperor. ”
He frowned, raised his eyes and looked at me earnestly, “Aunt, how can I let my uncle know that I am still alive?”
“Chaoer, don’t think about it.” Of course I know how, but I don’t want to tell him. He said haha, “It’s more practical to let Jing’er have a baby.”
When he was startled, his fair face turned red instantly.
Roche lectured for seven days in a row at Chang’an Great Temple. Almost all monks and royal nobles in Chang’an City came to listen. Roche’s prestige is as high as the sky and he is praised everywhere, just as he was in the Western Regions. Everyone knows that Roche is very favored by Yao Xing. Whether it is a genuine Buddha or a false flattery, there are endless guests in the daily residence. Roche was already insulted and treated everyone with sincerity.
Generals Yao Xian and Zuo General Yao Song were very attentive to Roche, and within a few days, some people came to recognize their relatives. The women who returned to their loved ones all got a lot of money for dowry. Yao Xing is too fond of Roche, and he sends someone to support him every few days. Roche took care of me. I hope those young girls can marry a good family, and they will not be reluctant in this regard.
In the end, only three girls did not leave. Chu Rui, an unmarried woman who is pregnant, can no longer gain a foothold in this era. I discussed with Roche and asked her to give birth to the child here. In the future, if she is difficult to marry with a child, the child can be left for us to raise. Since Roche made it clear that he would not accept concubines, I have always been suspicious. The twins mentioned in the history books refer to the children in Chu Rui’s stomach.
Luo Xiu, the youngest of all Liangzhou women, is only 14 years old, her eyebrows have not fully opened yet, she is still a naive little girl.
The last one is Yan’er. I let Yan’er and Luo Xiu take care of Chu Rui. I usually visit Murongchao’s family and usually teach three girls how to learn Chinese characters.
For Yan’er, I tried not to prejudice myself. She may really like Roche, or maybe to have a stable life in the future. Whatever the reason, since Roche has clearly stated her attitude to her, I should not treat her wrongly.
April came soon, and Rosh finally ended his lecture. Under Yao Xing’s needle threading, he accepted many Han disciples. A few days before we were going back to Caotang Temple, he had already collected Dao Heng, Tan Ying, Hui Guan and Hui Yan. These four people, together with Seng Zhao, Zhu Daosheng, Dao Rong, and Seng Rui, known as the Four Saints, are also called Shimen Bajun. At this point, the talents required for the translation of the scriptures are basically ready. In a few days, we will return to Caotang Temple in Xiaoyaoyuan to prepare to set up a translation field and start the most brilliant career in Roche’s life.
Opening his eyes confusedly, the early morning sun had penetrated into the room, and shone on a tall white figure with a crescent moon. A wind-scarred smile gradually became clear in the sight, and a river of spring was flowing in the gray eyes.
“Rosh…” His eyes were blinded by tears, blurry. In the tears, the airy and slender figure stretched out his hand to me. Crescent white blouse, curly brown shawl hair, just like a layman who was in the car dealer city and smiled and said to play with his wife. The person has not changed, the heart is not old, but the time is like a white horse. Looking back, it seemed like a dream.
“Before returning to Caotang Temple, let Weifu repay your wish.” He kept smiling, the vicissitudes of the lines between his eyebrows, adding an ambitious manner and charm, full of masculinity.
I rinsed it out, but I couldn’t help peeking at him. The more you look at it, the more exciting the mood of anticipation is when you fell in love with him.
“Rosh, I praised you as the most handsome and tasteful man I have ever seen.” Embracing his arm, he took a deep breath on him and sighed with satisfaction.
He asked me what I was doing, and I laughed: “After smelling the mellow wine left by you over time. Even if you are old and handsome, you add more insight and wisdom. So, I still want to praise: you are The most flavorful man I have ever seen!”
He smiled, and there was a hint of blush floating on his indifferent face, and he disappeared instantly. Stretching his hand to touch his face, he said with emotion: “Do you still love this old face?”
I stared at him and smiled slightly: “You know the answer.”
He nodded, looked at me carefully, and pressed his forehead against my forehead: “Ai Qing, you have been so young for 40 years. Rosh sometimes couldn’t help but wonder, what would you look like when you get older?”
I came out of his arms and stepped away. Ricket stood up, pretending to support crutches in his hand, and walked up to him with crutches. Approaching, wrinkling his face, squinting, reaching out and trembling, coughing with a dumb throat: “Old man, today is an annual mundane day. Would you like to invite my wife to eat?” ”
He stared at me with a clear laugh, but he burst into tears: “Ai Qing, Huofu can’t see you getting old…”
Put into his arms, tears penetrated into his crescent white blouse, and smiled hard: “That is not better, I will always be young in your heart. When I am old, it will become ugly, you will not like it…”
“You can love the look of Rosh’s old age, why wouldn’t Rosh like your old age?” He rubbed my neck and tears on my neck. “Even if you are old, you will be a smart man The old lady is quiet and radiant.”
“Well, no matter you can’t see it, I must be an old woman like you said.” Sucked his nose and left his body slightly, with a smile in his tears, “I’m hungry, you invite me to eat dumplings. ”
Pulling him to trot towards the palace gate, the morning sun sprinkled on us, and the warmth went straight to my heart. Smelling the intoxicating peach blossom fragrance in the air, I walked briskly and vigorously. It seems that a pair of free wings, such as Pianhong flying under the blue sky, sing the song of life happily.
“You silly girl, why are you so anxious…”
We wandered aimlessly in the streets of Chang’an. He is wearing Qizi costumes, and Chang’an has many Hu people in the Western Regions, so his appearance is not particularly noticeable.
I shouted for dumplings, he asked me strangely what dumplings are. I described it to him, and he told me it was called “wonton”. And instead of removing the dipping sauce from the soup, it is mixed with the soup in a bowl. So at the stall, when a bowl of “wonton” came to me, I was really stunned for quite some time.
There is also the famous lamb steamed buns in Xi’an, which took a lot of time to explain to make people understand what I want to eat. It turned out that this era is not called steamed buns, but “cow soup.” The store also asked us if we would order a cup of huanggui thick wine. I quickly nodded and asked. The store pressed hard in a large tank, squeezed the wine juice, and brought it to me. Roche couldn’t drink alcohol, so I drank the Huanggui thick wine alone. This wine is sweet and mellow, with a long aftertaste. Huang Gui’s fragrance entered the throat along with the jade-like agar juice, and the wine was not strong. It warmed the stomach just right.
He ate his stomach out of the shop again. He controlled me funny, and took my hand generously, no matter how many people saw it. In Xishi, which sells daily necessities, I can’t help being attracted by those delicate handicrafts, and I’m guilty of occupational diseases. I like them so much that I keep buying them.
I kept walking forward, but he suddenly disappeared. Looking back, I saw him wandering in front of a stall. Walking back to him, he was holding a bamboo dragonfly in his hand, his eyes stunned.
“Rosh…”
He seemed to wake up suddenly, handed me the bamboo dragonfly, and said softly, “I don’t know if Xiaoshi will like toys of this era.”
I grinned and nodded: “Daddy gave it, he will like it. I promised him that I will give him a gift from my father and grandmother as long as he listens to my grandfather and grandmother’s words.”
He leaned his head and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Turned to the shop owner and said, “Shop, I want this.”
Until the city closed, he searched for toys in the stall and bought a lot of things. Diabolo, I played it myself. I used a rope to rotate a dumbbell-shaped roller in the middle, but unfortunately my skill was not high, the roller always wanted to drop the rope. Nine chains, the form is not as complicated as the future generations, but the principle of unlocking is the same. I was never impatient when I was a kid, and now I get it, after playing a few times, I am impatient again. He took the nine links in my hand, meditated, and then tried to unlock a lock. The next lock was quickly unlocked. I watched the whole process dumbfounded, and it took less than five minutes. I thought to myself, let Xiao Shijie know the timing and see if he can surpass his father.
There are also tops, puppets, pottery whistle, etc. When we returned to Weiyang Palace, our four hands could hardly be lifted.
Under the setting sun, the catkins fluttered in the wind, and the fluffy edges were dyed by the golden sunlight to give them a soft touch, floating on their shoulders and soft in their hearts. Such a tender spring evening, and the loved ones lived in the world of two people, and looked at each other warmly. The entire chest can’t bear the sense of happiness, overflowing the throat and turning into an unconscious love song. Seeing him staring intently, I suddenly realized that I was actually singing “On the Top of That Mountain.”
He smiled brightly at him, let go of his throat and sang, and spread my happiness to others. Hopefully, lovers in this world will eventually become dependents.
Screams and scuffles suddenly appeared on the street. He glanced at Rosh and hurried forward. Seeing more than a dozen people in the neighborhood, they twisted the two monks and shouted that they would send to the Yamen.
“The monks are actually staying at prostitutes, aren’t they afraid of being condemned? There is really no way to do it!” Several people who twisted the monks shouted with anger.
“How about I wait for a prostitute? The state teacher Komorosh not only has a wife, but also ten concubines as concubines. He worships Buddha in the daytime, and stays with women in the evening, I heard that there are concubines in pregnancy. Than, but occasionally staying with prostitutes is not a crime at all.” The young monk with his arms twisted shouted dissatisfiedly. Seeing them dressed and talking, they should be the lower monks in the temple, and have not seen Roche.
The people were angry, and some people shouted, “Don’t dare to quibble about such evil monks. Simply give it to your majesty and let him go down.” As soon as the words fell, there was an approval.
Rosh’s face was pale and he wanted to say what he wanted to say. I quickly grabbed him and whispered in his ear: “At this moment, it won’t help you to come forward. Go back first, I have my own idea.”
He looked at me solemnly, then looked at the two monks who still shouted at his innocence, nodded, and walked back with me to the residence in the palace.
I took out a bag and put it in front of him, and opened it to him. He stared at me suspiciously: “Needle?”
I nodded: “It’s a needle, but not a normal needle.”
He put on his glasses, picked up a needle with his fingertips, and placed it under the candle to observe carefully: “It’s really unusual, there are no needle holes.”
I picked one and chewed it in my mouth. He was so shocked that he broke my face and asked me to spit it out. I laughed a lot, and picked up another one and handed it to his mouth: “You eat it too, it tastes good.”
He looked down at the needle, hesitantly extended his tongue from the entrance of my finger, tasted it carefully, and looked at me suddenly: “Is it sugar?”
“Well.” This is the needle-shaped chocolate I made in the kitchen of the canteen for a day. Fortunately, it was winter, and the weather is not hot now, so I can keep the shape of the needle.
I said righteously: “Rosh, getting married is the biggest stain in your life, not to mention concubine. Outsiders don’t know the emotions of you and me for forty years, and they don’t know that these concubines have been basically dismissed. Those ground floor The monk will use you as an example and make excuses for his passions. In this way, your reputation will be damaged. Therefore, you need to use some means to prove that you have divine power, and only you can marry a wife.”
He looked at the realistic needles in front of him and raised my eyes to ask me: “Is this also written in Roche’s account? Otherwise, how would you know and prepare these fake needles in advance?”
I nodded with a smile, he was still so sharp. Reciting the paragraph in the “Book of Jin”: “The monks have multiple effects. It is the poly needle surplus bowl, which is quoted by the monks as saying:’If you can see the effect of eating this, it can be the ear of the animal room.” Because of the dagger Needle insertion is not different from regular food. The monks are ashamed, but only.”
He took his hand to the bed and sat down, said softly: “Rosh, tomorrow Yao Xing should come to ask you how to deal with these two monks, you need to do this scene.”
Seeing him bow his head in silence, he should still feel guilty. Somewhat anxious: “Rosh, think about your mission to translate the scriptures. You have to translate the scriptures, and you want to lead the three thousand disciples. Your dignity must be maintained. Promise me, okay?”
He looked up and scanned the fake needle, and finally nodded solemnly.

The earliest record of dumplings in ancient books is “Guang Ya” written by Zhang Yi of the Three Kingdoms. It is recorded that at that time, there was already a food called Crab Wonton, which is basically similar to the shape of the dumplings. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, ravioli “formed like a moon, and the world eats it all.” It is speculated that after the dumplings were cooked at that time, they were not taken out and eaten separately, but were mixed with soup in a bowl and eaten together, so people at that time called dumplings “wonton”. This kind of eating method is still popular in some areas of my country. For example, people in Henan, Shaanxi and other places eat dumplings, and put some coriander, green onion, shrimp skin, leek and other small ingredients in the soup. By the Tang Dynasty, the dumplings had become exactly the same as the current dumplings, and they were taken out on the plate and eaten separately.
Legend has it that the beef and mutton foam evolved on the basis of the ancient “ox and sheep soup” in the 11th century BC. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, “Niu Yang Xuan” was listed as a “ritual dish” for kings and princes. According to the “Book of Songs”, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Mao Xiu presented the unique taste of beef and sheep soup to Emperor Song Wu.
Huanggui thick wine is a sweet wine made from glutinous rice and Xiaoqu. It is named for its aromatic Huanggui. This wine is said to have a history dating back to the “mash” of the Zhou Dynasty. According to research, before the invention of distilled liquor, the ancients had been drinking this kind of rice wine. In 1992, in the tomb of the Wei family unearthed in Nanliwang Village, Chang’an County, there was a picture of the host’s courtyard feast. There are two girls sitting on the side of the picture. The wine on this painting is pressed from the side. The key is the word “press”, which is to separate the wine juice from the distiller’s grains with manpower. This scene can still be seen in some “old-name” restaurants in Xi’an today.
Regarding Diabolo: According to legend, Cao Zhi wrote a “Diabolo Fu” during the Three Kingdoms period. If this is the earliest record about Diabolo, then it has a history of at least 1700 years. In the 110 times of “Water Margin”, Song Jiang saw someone playing “Hu knocking” on the way of conscripting Fang La. Feeling the grace of Su Taiwei, he made a poem: “A low sound comes a high sound, and the loud sound is transparent. Xiao. There are many heroes in Kong, and no one is in vain.” Of course, the novel is written by future generations, but it also shows that in the era of book writers, shaking diabolo has been very common.
Jiulianhuan is an ancient intellectual game with a long history and widespread circulation. According to ancient documents, it was as early as the Warring States period, and it has been more than 2,200 years ago. “Warring? “Qi Ce” said: “The Emperor Qin Shihuang tried to make the emperor’s emperor’s queen beneath the chain, saying:’Qi Duozhi, but how to solve this ring?’ In short, Xie Qin said: “Just to solve it.” The jade chain mentioned in the article is now the nine chain.
