Jia Qiang's Ordinary Life

The Double Ninth Day of Ninth Ninth is here. At this time in previous years, the Jia family would naturally treat guests with wine, enjoy chrysanthemums, and eat crabs.But this year, Jia's mansion is busy with garden matters, so we just got together hastily, and that's all.

Li Cheng made an appointment with Jia Qiang early in the morning, and asked him to climb Zhongnan Mountain to admire the chrysanthemums that day.Jia Qiang naturally agreed, and asked someone to prepare two jars of chrysanthemum wine, and then brought them up the mountain.

Li Cheng arrived at the door of Jia Qiang's house early in the morning, and the concierge took him into the house without notifying him.Jia Qiang was still eating breakfast. Seeing him coming, the celebrity added another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Today's pan-fried buns are delicious, so you can use some too!"

Li Cheng also sat down unceremoniously. Bisi had already served another bowl of rouge japonica rice porridge, and picked up chopsticks to put a fried bun on the plate in front of him.Li Cheng also picked up his chopsticks: "It just so happens that I haven't had breakfast yet!"

After taking a bite and sucking the soup inside, Li Cheng nodded: "It's really good, Zhizhong's cook in your house will soon be able to catch up with the imperial cook!"

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "This cook is new here, from Huaiyang, and he is best at making pasta! If you like it, I'll lend you two days!"

"That's no need, I will come to you for whatever I want to eat in the future, so why don't you let me go?" Li Cheng said with a smile.

Jia Qiang was serious: "Okay, but, when the time comes, you can just pay for the meal!"

The two talked and laughed and finished their breakfast, and Li Cheng couldn't wait to go to Mount Zhongnan with him, so the two simply got into the same car, and Shi Mo followed behind on a horse.

Li Cheng smiled and said: "You are lucky today. Two days ago, Zhuangzi sent several baskets of big crabs, less than three per catty. I have already sent people to the mountain. We can eat them when we go up the mountain." Eat it!"

Jia Qiang also smiled: "Then I'll take your light!"

"Which one of us is with whom!" Li Cheng said with a smile.

The mountain road of Zhongnan Mountain has been repaired several times, and even a few carriages can run side by side. The carriage went up the mountain smoothly, and stopped on a flat ground near the top of the mountain.The two got out of the car together, and a servant brought by Li Cheng brought over a plate with several sticks of red dogwood in it. They each chose one to stick in their heads, and walked to the top of the mountain together.

It's still early, not everyone will come to the top of the mountain early in the morning.There was no one else on the top of the mountain. The two stood there and looked around for a while. Jia Qiang thought that Huashan Mountain was also nearby, and it would be good to go there someday.

There was a pavilion on the top of the mountain. The two sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion. Shi Mo brought chrysanthemum wine, and Li Cheng's servant also brought a food box, and took out a few steamed crabs from it. The plate and two plates containing ginger vinegar were placed on the stone table, and then they dropped their hands.

Li Cheng clumsily knocked open the crab's shell with a small hammer, and complained: "I should have brought two maids out. Although this crab is delicious, it would be too troublesome!"

Jia Qiang laughed, and lightly knocked open the crab shell in front of her, took out the red crab paste inside, looked at Li Cheng proudly, dipped some condiments, and put it in her mouth.

Li Cheng put down the hammer in his hand and began to play tricks: "Zhizhong, can you help me with it?"

Seeing him as a big man acting like a spoiled child, Jia Qiang felt a chill. He looked at Li Cheng's pitiful appearance speechlessly, feeling very helpless: "Forget it, bring it here!"

Li Cheng sat there and ate the ready-made food, not to mention how much ironing it was, suddenly he had an idea that it would be good to live like this for the rest of his life, and then he nodded secretly, um, with a friend like Jia Qiang, a lifetime How can it be enough, just continue in the next life!It seems that the Hanlin Academy will hold a library selection next year, maybe he will be released, so how can it be done?Do you want to tell Brother Huang?Let him stay in the capital to accompany him?

The two ate two crabs each, and Li Cheng still wanted it, but Jia Qiang resolutely refused to do it again, just kidding, I am not an old lady!Regrettably, Li Cheng asked his servants and Shi Mo to share the remaining crabs, washed his hands with fragrant soap to remove the fishy smell from his hands, and brought them over with chrysanthemum wine The chrysanthemum cake and sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Li Cheng was talking about the customs and customs that he had heard about, and Jia Qiang was also talking about some interesting things he had read from official history, unofficial history and local chronicles, which was also very enjoyable.

After talking for a while, more people went up the mountain, and many people went to the pavilion to drink tea and rest here.

When there were too many people, some of them still knew each other, so it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries, and the two of them lost the ability to continue talking, so they planned to go back to the Zhuangzi to sit for a while, and return to the city later.

When he was about to reach the parking place, several people came to meet him. The leader was a middle-aged man with a tall figure and a short beard. When he saw the two of them, he stopped and bowed and made a big salute: "Little I have seen His Royal Highness King An's thousand years old!" Seeing this, several people behind him also bowed deeply.

Li Cheng was taken aback. He took a peek at Jia Qiang who seemed to be unresponsive. He felt a little uneasy. He waved his hands and said, "Forget it, today is the Double Ninth Festival. There is no need to pay attention to the etiquette. The king has something else to do. Go your own way!"

Those people saluted again, and only after Li Cheng took a few steps did he straighten up and continue walking.

Li Cheng looked at Jia Qiang in embarrassment: "Well, I didn't do it on purpose, don't blame me, I'm just worried..."

Jia Qiang bowed expressionlessly: "It turns out that Jia Qiang was rude in front of His Highness King An! Jia Qiang has something else to do. If His Highness has nothing else to do, Jia Qiang will leave first."

Li Cheng was silent, he pursed his lips, and said, "Zhizhong, believe it or not, I really didn't intend to deceive you, I just want to make friends with you, and I don't want you to have any worries because of my status!"

Jia Qiang was also silent for a while: "Forget it, I have to think about it! I'll take my leave first!"

Saying that, Jia Qiang directly led Shi Mo's horse, got on the horse, whipped and left.From behind, Shi Mo, who was stupefied by what he heard just now, came to his senses, hurried to catch up, and shouted, "Master, Master, you have to wait for me!"

Li Cheng was a little sad, as if a piece was missing in his heart, very sad, he looked at the direction Jia Qiang was going away, and murmured: "Will you forgive me? I don't want to lose you as a friend!"

Jia Qiang was very angry, and he walked all the way, not to mention how chaotic he was.He was actually King An, why did he keep lying to himself, if the two of them told themselves after getting acquainted, it would be impossible for him to ignore him!However, it has been almost two years since the two met, and he still hasn't told the truth!Hey, I'm such a fool, I never want to think about it, I deserve to be cheated by you!The children of the distant clan, Dajing has been in the country for a long time. If it is really the distant clan, it probably has already declined like the Jia family. Where there are still parents, the elder brother has inherited the title and family business. The reason why you can get a house outside and a large amount of property!

Jia Qiang went home angrily, the porter saw him coming back alone, his face was ashen, he didn't dare to ask why Shi Mo didn't come back with him, so he hurried forward to lead the horse back to the stable, wondering secretly.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?" Qing Luo asked in surprise seeing his appearance.

"Don't ask, prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath!" Jia Qiang ordered irritably.

"Yes, Master!" Qing Luo didn't dare to ask any more questions, she nodded quickly and walked out.

The hot water was soon ready, Jia Qiang refused Qingluobisi's service, soaked in the hot water by herself, and began to rub the skin of her body intermittently, thinking about something in her heart.
