    Chapter 81 The Happiness Now

    The eldest princess said she was coming, but she really came to sit down from time to time. Just like Lin Shaoyin, usually choose it in the afternoon or after dinner. She always sent the attendant to see it and made sure that Shen Shaoguang was there before she came over - there was no cover at all, and she came to Miss Shen. It's not like Lin Shaoyin's name is eating. Even if he's not hungry after eating, he still has to add a meal.

    It was raining outside, and the candles on the desk were beating slightly. Shen Shaoguang sat by the window and taught Ah Yuan how to cut flowers.

    This flower-cutting tint, A-Yuan learns one after another, from spring to summer, and from summer to autumn, and has not finished learning several common flower shapes. Fortunately, learning is not in a hurry, and teaching is not in a hurry.

    When Princess Fuhui came in, she saw such a leisurely scene.

    Shen Shaoguang stood up and saluted.

    Princess Fuhui first smiled and said, "I made you wait for a long time. I was going to go out. Who would have thought that the cat I raised vomited."

    Shen Shaoguang, who is also a cat slave, hurriedly asked, "How is it now?"

    "I fed a pill, but I didn't vomit again."

    Shen Shaoguang nodded: "Perhaps it's because of the season. Feed it less in the past few days, especially less hard-to-digest meat, to nourish the stomach."

    Princess Fuhui sighed: "I said the same thing. It was raised when I was in the palace. It's a teenage cat. I don't know how long it can stay with me."

    Feeling sad in a word, Shen Shaoguang nodded.

    Princess Fuhui shook her head with a smile and sighed: "I will never keep cats in the future. I will suffer from this torture once every ten years. I can't stand it."

    Unexpectedly, Princess Fuhui turned out to be a long-term lover... Shen Shaoguang changed the topic, "Princess, try the almond cheese I cooked today."

    The almond cheese is similar to the walnut cheese. The almonds are soaked in hot water and peeled. Even the soaked rice and glutinous rice are ground to remove the residue to extract the juice. Cook it in a small choshi, and pour some sweet-scented osmanthus candy or add sugar when eating. , milk, all good.

    In addition to the almond cheese, Shen Shaoguang served a few snacks and fruits. He was not hungry, but just to kill time.

    Princess Fuhui stirred with a silver spoon, took a small bowl and took a sip, "It has the fragrance of almonds, it's easy to drink like this."

    That is! Where is the almond cheese in the palace version of almond tea? can't wait to make eight-treasure porridge. There are various rice beans and nuts in it, sugarcane pulp is added, and at the end, it is decorated with wolfberry and longan. The sweetness is sweet, but there is no almond flavor.

    Shen Shaoguang invited her to try the chicken head rice chestnut cake again.

    Princess Fuhui had seen the recipe in the store and knew the name of this cake, she laughed at Shen Shaoguang and said, "To really say how good the chicken head rice chestnut cake is, it's not called 'fishing wood cake', learn that What do you do for the pedantic literati?"

    Shen Shaoguang told the truth: "If you want to make other people's money, you have to do what you like."

    Princess Fuhui laughed.

    "However, in this case, I have something to say to your indifferent Lin Shaoyin."

    Shen Shaoguang hurriedly explained: "The eldest princess's words are bad. It's not 'my', Lin Shaoyin is his own."

    Princess Fuhui glanced at her, "Pretend!"

    "It's not a pretense, it's a disproportionate identity."

    "But I see that you are clearly affectionate, and your concubine has intentions..."

    "It's still inappropriate in terms of identity." Shen Shaoguang said with a sip of almond cheese.

    Princess Fuhui thought about it, yes, marriage is a good thing to have two surnames, and thinking about herself and Pei Fei, she couldn't help but sigh.

    After a long while, Princess Fuhui gave a narrow smile, "Since that's the case, don't ask about the way forward, let's just mix it up."

    Shen Shaoguang wanted to say, isn't that the way to mix things up? He said that he was in love or not, but he was ambiguous to the point of death. I was about to tangle with gray hair, but I heard the eldest princess say, "Let's sleep first and then talk about it."

    Shen Shaoguang is very glad that he was not drinking almond cheese just now, otherwise it would be rude to spray tea at this time.

    "It's a worry after sleeping. Maybe after sleeping, do you think he's not that good?"

    Shen Shaoguang felt that the logic of Princess Fuhui was a bit difficult to describe.

    Seeing Shen Shaoguang looking at herself, Princess Fuhui envied, "If you want to sleep with Lin Shaoyin, he will definitely meet him; unlike the one surnamed Pei..."

    Can "following each other" be used like this? The physical education teacher in the palace is really multi-tasking.

    Princess Fuhui muttered, "Don't let me sleep, and don't let me sleep with others, I sip a good vinegar."

    Shen Shaoguang couldn't help it and smiled unkindly.

    Princess Fuhui glared at her, and after she finished staring, she smiled too.

    After Shen Shaoguang finished laughing, he felt a little more emotional. Pei Fei's romantic appearance turned out to be a person with principles and bottom lines.

    "Then the eldest princess and Pei Langjun, also—just mixed like this?"

    Princess Fuhui leaned on the table and smiled casually, "I'll mix it up. If he doesn't marry, I will naturally be able to endure it."

    Shen Shaoguang didn't know that Princess Fuhui and Pei Fei were so different from each other. After more than ten years, the prince-in-law died. At this time, Pei Fei had already been appointed to a Shangshu and added Tongping Zhangshi, which can be called She said "Pei Xiang", but she never married; Princess Fuhui also kept her promise and almost became a model of royal female character. What was even more unexpected was that after finishing the affairs of the concubine, the eldest princess went straight to the family and became a woman's crown. Like the eldest princess of Anqing, she traveled all over the world. At that time, the once satirical joke had long since become a sigh, and I don't know how many people chanted it. After all, "persistence" and "missing" are too easy to sigh.

    Of course, that's all for later.

    "I listened to a song the other day, 'There are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, don't wait until there are no flowers to fold the branches.'" Princess Fuhui advised her, "Fold it, so as not to regret it later."

    Regret...Shen Shaoguang imagined that when he was old, his head was covered in silver threads, lying on the couch in front of the window to enjoy the shade, listening to the laughter and talking of the maids, and seeing the bright stars and cows and women on both sides of the window, at that time, would he? Suddenly remembered the handsome young man you met when you were young?

    Probably will?

    Autumn night, autumn rain and autumn window, two melancholy people are melancholy relative to each other.

    Shen Shaoguang drank the cold almond cheese, "I'm going to change a flower dew for the eldest princess. It's the sweet-scented osmanthus that was sent by the mansion a while ago. I steamed some, and at this time, add some honey to make water and drink it. , just right."

    Princess Fuhui took a sip of the almond cheese, "No need, I'll drink it another day. It's getting late, I should go."

    The maids put on a cloak and an umbrella for her. The car under the awning outside the door came and stopped by the steps. Princess Fuhui got into the car, lifted the curtain, and waved to Shen Shaoguang. Shen Shaoguang watched her carriage disappear into the night.

    Going back to the room, thinking about the words of the eldest princess, Shen Shaoguang suddenly didn't feel that there was any problem with her logic, but felt that there was such an ethereal Zen philosophy.

    Thinking of Zen philosophy, Shen Shaoguang suddenly remembered the lottery he asked for at Qinglong Temple during the Chinese New Year. I don't know which monk's verse was written on the lot: "Those who are at ease in their hearts are those who are fit, and wherever they are in their hearts, they can walk."

    "Those who feel at ease are those who are fit, and wherever they are, they can go wherever they feel." Lying on the bed, Shen Shaoguang muttered the words of the eldest princess and this verse, listening to the annoying autumn rain outside, and fell asleep after tossing for a while.

    On the second day, Lin Yan got out of the office and passed by the door of Shenji in a car. At a glance, he saw A Yuan who was feeding the wild cats at the door. Did he come back?

    Lin Yan changed into casual clothes, and then went to the Shenji liquor store, and when he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of fried chestnuts.

    "Lang Jun is here! Try our fried chestnuts."

    Looking at her smiling face, Lin Yan couldn't help laughing, and said warmly, "It smells delicious."

    Shen Shaoguang gave him a small plate, full of them, about the same size, brown-red, with a cracked mouth, with the aroma of caramel chestnuts, "Lang Jun, look, our fried chestnuts are different from the ones outside. ?"

    Lin Yan followed her and said, "Well, it's extraordinarily oily and bright."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled proudly. The first time he tried to make sugar-fried chestnuts, he was so successful. It can be seen that cooking is a genius.

    "That's because the sugar is added well." Shen Shaoguang told him about the classic of fried chestnuts, "You have to choose the same size, big or small, otherwise the big ones are not cooked and the small ones are mushy; don't put the raw chestnuts in advance. If you make a cut, the chestnut meat will be dry, not so oily, as long as the heat is up, the chestnut skin will naturally collapse; you have to turn it over with a big shovel, and the rain and dew will be soaked..." Shen Shaoguang said hi without paying attention, coughing. With a sound, "This will stop evenly."

    At this time, "the rain and the dew are soaked" did not have the special meaning in the palace dramas of the descendants. Li Taibai once said something like "empty rain and dew", so Shen Shaoguang's dirty Lin Yan didn't find it, only thought that she was a metaphor. There are some meanings, A Li's words have always been playful.

    Shen Shaoguang looked at Lin Shaoyin with such a warm smile, and remembered the words he wrote outside the Qinrenfang, beautiful and delicious, really a handsome man. For some reason, his mind was uncontrollably reminded of the hooligan who used to talk about roosters, as well as the allusions of Tang Seng. Elder Tang and the female fairies are probably "beautiful and delicious", right?

    Lin Shaoyin like this can't survive, and I'm reluctant to eat meat...

    Shen Shaoguang was dirty in his heart, but he said on his mouth, "Would you like a cup of tea for Langjun? Chestnuts are not easy to digest."

    Lin Yan smiled: "Okay."

    Lin Yan felt that today's little lady seems to be different from the past, and there was something in her eyes... Lin Yan remembered the fox that was hunted and let it run away.

    Shen Shaoguang put down tea for Lin Yan. Lin Yan asked her, "Is it possible for Qinrenfang?"

    Shen Shaoguang nodded and said with a smile: "It's on the right track." After thinking about it, he added, "I'll only visit occasionally in the future."

    Lin Yan looked at her and raised his eyebrows.

    Shen Shaoguang raised his eyebrows, didn't you mean that? Afraid of my hard work, I want to see me every time I come...

    Lin Yan smiled and said, "Very good."

    Very good... Shen Shaoguang hasn't thought about what to say, but he has heard Lin Shaoyin say, "I think some of your paintings are very realistic."

    Shen Shaoguang relaxed, picked up Mingnu, and while stroking the cat, he sold him his half-baked painting knowledge, what proportions, shadows, and different textures created by different brush strokes and lines.

    Lin Yan originally wanted to have a conversation with her. It seemed that he hadn't talked to her in such a way for a long time, but he really listened to her now.

    Shen Shaoguang talked about writing and freehand again.

    Speaking of freehand brushwork, Shen Shaoguang praised: "Although the lotus pond screen sent by the Jun family has only a few strokes, it has a leisurely and comfortable feel, which is quite a bit like Wang Mojie's 'poetry in the painting'."

    Lin Yan couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth. Today's words from A Li are really sweet.

    Seeing his smile, he knew that he had guessed correctly. Shen Shaoguang is very good at coaxing people. When he sprinkles a lot of sugar, he also needs to add a pinch of salt. In fact, adding a little spicy is also good. She squinted and smiled, "I just don't know if this screen is a single one, or a set of four seasons?"

    Looking at her smile, Lin Yan thought of the fox again.

    The author has something to say: Yu San, who wields a big shovel: Oh, it's so lively, it's like chestnuts are fried by a little lady...

    Lin and Shen, who are immersed in the discussion of art (tan lian ai): chestnuts are not important.

    Yu San:  …
