    After the end of March, Zhen Youqian married the maid, Caiyou, to Youcai, and made her son's concubine; and let Qingwan also have sex with her son.

    Although talented and still underage, Qingwan always feels a bit awkward being in the same room with an outsider.  In particular, I don't know who Youcai learned some bad habits from. She always likes to climb on her when she sleeps at night, like a gecko, which makes her feel panicked all over her body.

    Qing Wan thought: Anyway, Mu Yu can leave her now, why don't she just find a chance and leave with Xiu Ran?  However, before leaving, it is best to ensure that Ji Xu can be a private school in Zhen's family for a long time

    [1] "Su Muzhe. Green Yangping" Zhao Wen. Ci

    In the evening of this day, Qing Wan saw Ji Xu leaning on the pillar under the grape trellis alone, thinking of something, so she walked over.

    Walking closer, I heard Ji Xu reciting a poem:

    The green seedlings are flat, the smoke trees are far away,

    The village is noisy, and the ducks and geese return late.

    Leaning on the railing to soothe sleepy eyes.

    A grape rack is so green that the pond is full.

    Drink first and worry, and sing and be lazy.

    A little leisure, a hundred tricks are hard to entertain.

    It is not as short as returning home to a dream.

    What's more, cuckoo cuckoo, why not teach heartbreak.

    When she heard Ji Xu chanting to the end, Qingwan's heart "thumped"¡ªit was obviously homesick, and she wanted to go home!

    Qing Wan walked over in three steps at a time, and asked him: "Why, Mr. Ji, are you homesick?"

    Ji Xu raised his head to see Qing Wan, and said, "Who said that?"

    "You said so!"

    "When did I say that?"

    "Just now, didn't you say, 'There is no home here, Du Juan urges you to return the home'!"

    Ji Xu fell silent immediately.

    Seeing that Ji Xu was silent, Qing Wan continued: "However, it's really pitiful for you to be out alone at such a young age. How about this, sister will introduce you to a girl, okay?"

    "I don't like girls."

    "How can a man not like girls?"

    "I just don't like it!"

    "It means that you haven't grown up yet, find a girl for you to read, and you will grow up."

    Ji Xu got up and wanted to leave.

    "Don't worry, listen to my sister first!" Qing Wan rolled Ji Xu's eyes and said, "How about it, how did you get along with my family Yingying on Qingming?"

    Unexpectedly, as soon as Yingying was mentioned, Ji Xu became anxious and said, "Don't mention Yingying!"

    "What's wrong?"

    "More annoying than you!"

    "Heh!" Qingwan laughed angrily, "You boy, why did our sisters provoke you, and even bring me along to make you hate?"

    Ji Xu knew he had made a mistake, so he smiled apologetically.

    Qingwan asked: "Tell me, what's wrong with Yingying, that you don't want to see her so much?"

    "What's the matter? It's too hypocritical, no matter what I do, it's not good!"

    "Little girls, they are all like this, they like to 'take love~' When they reach my age, they will naturally be reasonable"

    Ji Xu squeezed his nose tightly, "hummed" and said, "Are you still reasonable?"

    "What's wrong?" Qing Wan smiled, "Don't you think I'm not doing well enough?"

    "Heh, brother Xiuran is doing what he does, and it doesn't satisfy you!"

    "I have my own difficulties!"

    "What's your problem?"

    "I have to take care of Mu Yu! When my mother was dying, she entrusted her younger brother to me, how could I just ignore him halfway?"

    "He still has Uncle Yu."

    "My father is an imperial doctor, and there is a saying that 'accompanying the emperor is like accompanying the tiger', maybe one day, if I offend some empress, she will die unexpectedly"

    "However, brother Xiuran is not young, how long do you want him to wait?"

    "Hey-hey-hey-, isn't it about you now, what do you care about Xiuran?!"

    "Can I leave him alone?" Ji Xu said again, "You said you slept with that Zhen Youcai, what do you let Xiuran think?"

    "He can think whatever he likes!" Qing Wan was not happy anymore, "You are big men! You are still a child if you are talented, what does a child know?"

    "Soon, he will understand!"

    "Okay, let's not talk about these stinky men, let's talk about you"

    "I am a stinky boy??.  This reflects that people in the Yin and Shang Dynasties already knew to collect and eat all kinds of wild grapes.  However, the grapes we are used to talking about today refer to European grapes, which only came to China during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

    During the Western Han Dynasty, when Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions, alfalfa followed Tianma, grapes came out of Hanchen, and grapes and alfalfa were introduced to China along with Tianma and Zhang Qian.  The introduction of the Dawan grape variety expanded the scope of grape cultivation in the Central Plains, wine brewing also began to appear, and the culture related to grapes and wine gradually developed.

    Grapes and wine have significantly increased as the subjects of writers' poems and prose creations.  In addition to historical biographies, grapes and wine also appear in map classics, local chronicles and document archives.  The types of grape and wine documents and archives have increased. Turpan documents, Dunhuang documents, Turpan Uighur documents, Tubo slips, etc. all have records of grapes and wine.  The relationship between grapes, wine and religious belief continues to develop, which makes the religious belief of grape culture strong.  In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhist literature was an important carrier of grape culture.

    Li Qi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Gu Congjun Xing" that "every year the bones of war are buried outside the wasteland, and rose apples enter the Han family in vain."  Rose apples in the poem refer to grapes.

    Full text:

    ?Climbing the mountain to watch the beacon fire during the day, drinking horses and crossing the river at dusk; pedestrians fight against the wind and sand, and the princess's pipa is full of resentment.

    There are no city walls for thousands of miles in the wild clouds, and the rain and snow are pouring into the desert; the wild geese are whining and flying every night, and the tears of Hu'er are falling.

    I heard that the Yumen Gate is still covered, and you should chase your life away; every year the bones of war are buried outside the wasteland, and it is empty to see apples entering the Han family.

    [2] Four pieces of jade

    It is the name of the song card, which belongs to "Nanlu Palace", and is used for operas, Sanqu sets and Xiaoling.  The whole song (excluding lining characters) has 29 characters, seven sentences and five rhymes, and the basic sentence structure is: three, three, seven, seven, three, three, three.

    The Shangque in this article is based on a Sanqu "Four Pieces of Jade. Farewell Love" written by Guan Hanqing, a composer of the Yuan Dynasty.  It means: Ever since I sent you away that day, I have always been inseparable from you in my heart, and a little lovesickness lingers in my heart.  I remember that when I saw you off, I leaned on the railing and watched you go away.  I brushed off the snowy willow flowers with my sleeve so as not to obstruct my vision.  However, your figure is no longer visible. I saw the winding creek flowing eastward, and the heavy mountains covered your long journey. Only then did I realize that the person in my heart has really gone far.

    Xia Que is a Sanqu "Four Pieces of Jade. Beautiful Lady" written by Ma Zhiyuan.  ? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
