    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"—it was obviously homesick, and she wanted to leave!

    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 asked, "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 my sister and I, together 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 are all like this, they like to 'get love', and 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 good 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 other people's repairing and dyeing!"

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

    "What are you talking about me? INot those stinky men you mentioned!  "

    Qingwan laughed again with a "puchi", and said, "If you can become my brother-in-law, it won't stink!"

    "Why do you want to be your brother-in-law?"

    "Because of that, I can safely hand over Mu Yu to you and my sister."

    "Even if I'm not your brother-in-law, as long as Mu Yu is handed over to me, I won't let him suffer any grievances."

    "I believe it!" Qing Wanchao Ji Xu smiled again, and said, "If you can become my brother-in-law, wouldn't my sister think that there is an extra layer of 'family love' on top of this 'love'!"

    "But, those younger sisters of yours" Ji Xu said, "Let me be your foster brother!"

    Qing Wan smiled and said: "You want to be sworn brothers in Taoyuan three times with me? What are you thinking! There is no sworn brotherhood between a man and a woman"

    [2] "Ba Nu Ballad" by Yu Hu. Poetry

    "Hey~" Qingwan seemed to remember something, "I'll show you something." Saying that, Qingwan took out a letter and handed it to him.

    After Ji Xu received the letter, he saw that the sending address on the envelope was from his hometown, so he thought it was a letter from home, but when he saw that the envelope had been opened, he said displeasedly: "Sister, you really treat yourself as an outsider.  Do you want to open the letter too?"

    Qingwan said: "Look carefully, is it your letter?"

    Ji Xu took out the letter and opened it to read. He saw that the handwriting was delicate and the pink paper was lovely.  Looking at the content again, it is to greet Sister Qingwan's recent situation When introducing her situation in Sichuan, she used a poem:

    The Ba girl rides a bull and sings bamboo branches,

    When lotus root silk and water chestnut leaves are by the river;

    Don't worry about returning home at dusk,

    Remember that plantains grow out of hibiscus fences.

    The general idea of ??this poem is: A little girl from Bashu rides a cow, sings bamboo branch lyrics, and walks home slowly along the river bank where lotus flowers are blooming and Ling leaves are everywhere.  She is not afraid that she will not be able to find her home when it gets late, because she knows that there is a plantain tree in front of her house protruding high from the hibiscus fence With just a few strokes, she has written about the customs and summer customs of her hometown.

    Notes

    [1] Grapes

    Grapes are woody vines belonging to the genus Vitis of the family Vitaceae. The branchlets are cylindrical, with longitudinal ribs, glabrous or sparsely pilose, the leaves are oval, the panicles are dense or scattered, the base branches are well developed, the fruit is spherical or oval, and the flowering period is  April-May, fruiting period August-September.  Grapes are famous fruits, eaten raw or made into raisins, and made into wine. The leftovers after wine making can extract tartaric acid.

    Grapes are one of the oldest fruit tree species in the world. Plant fossils of grapes were found in Tertiary strata, indicating that they were all over Europe, Asia and Greenland at that time.  Grapes are native to western Asia and are cultivated all over the world. About 95% of grapes from all over the world are concentrated in the northern hemisphere.

    Human beings have a long history of cultivating grapes, brewing wine and creating grape culture, and China is one of the places where grapes were cultivated earlier in the world.  Cultivated grapes in ancient China are foreign material civilizations, and their native places are in the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean coasts and Central Asia.  About 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, grape cultivation and wine production began in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, South Caucasus, and Central Asia. Later, it spread westward to Italy, France and other Western European countries, and then spread eastward to  East Asia.

    During the pre-Qin period, grape planting and wine making had begun to spread in the Western Regions.  The earliest written record about "grape" in China is the "Book of Songs", but it talks about wild grapes, "June is full of stagnation and azulene", and "azulene" is wild grapes.  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": "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.
