Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 73 Ask God
Seeing that Jiang Changning didn't dislike the shabby things, the small vendors bought them. The shouting suddenly became louder, and they boldly solicited, "Ma'am, I buy rouge. The rouge here is definitely the best on the street. Many ladies use my rouge, Madam Bao, you use it to look even more beautiful."

"Ma'am, I have the best silk thread here, and the embroidered things will last forever."

"Ma'am, this is a lucky lion from Ryukyu. Look at it, isn't it cute?"

Jiang Changning was not interested in rouge or silk thread, but when the delicate and brightly colored lucky lion caught her eye, she walked over.

After shopping one street after another, Jiang Changning bought a lot of gadgets, all of which were paid by King Jin, and it was the maids and guards who followed behind who carried the things.

At the beginning of noon, a group of people entered the delicacy restaurant.

The delicacy restaurant's business is booming, and at this time, you can usually only sit in the lobby.

But with Chang Youzhong's considerate follower, how could he make his two masters feel wronged?I sent someone early to book a private room.

Sit down in the private room on the second floor of the delicacy restaurant, and the waiter brings tea and snacks.

"Bring six dishes of the shop's signature dishes. There must be meat and vegetables, and there must be soup." King Jin ordered while pouring tea from a pot.

Jiang Changning chuckled, "Your way of ordering food is not bad."

"I learned it from you, remember to hand in Xiu." King Jin joked.

"How many pieces of salt pork do you want?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.

Shuxiu is a bunch of jerky meat cured with salt, also known as salt pork.

"The more the better."

“Fresh pork tastes better.”

"The foreleg meat is the most tender, the meat is adjusted, and the taste is delicious. The tenderloin is pure lean meat without fat, which is suitable for frying. There are many ways to cook pork belly, which can be braised or grilled." King Jin talked eloquently
"Yong Zhou is very good at eating."

The conversation between the couple was full of fireworks.

While talking, the dishes were brought up, as King Jin ordered, there were meat and vegetables, and soup.

The delicacy restaurant sells Huaiyang dishes, and three of the four meat dishes are river delicacies.

Squirrel mandarin fish, soft pocket long fish, white robe shrimp, and a meat dish is braised lion head.

The vegetarian dishes are fried seasonal vegetables, and the soup is water shield and whitebait soup.

The two ate at the same table, and talked about some legends and allusions of Huaiyang cuisine without paying attention to food.

The king of Jin was knowledgeable and covered a wide range of subjects. It can be said that he knew astronomy from the top, geography from the bottom, and harmony from the middle.

What Jiang Changning has learned in modern times is enough to look down on everyone in this dynasty. After coming here, there is no TV, computer, mobile phone, and reading is very complicated.

She can answer the topic of King Jin.

This made King Jin feel like meeting a confidant, and he felt more and more that he had a good vision, and that his little princess was all in line with his wishes.

After the meal, Chang Youzhong had already settled the bill first, Jiang Changning reproached and said: "It's agreed that I invited you."

"Ningning will invite me next time." King Jin smiled.

Jiang Changning ignored the matter, "Where are we going this afternoon?"

"Listen to Ningning." King Jin smiled.

"I heard that there is a tea garden next to the Town God's Temple, let's go and have a look."

City God is the god who guards the city in Taoism, and most temples are built in the city.

King Jin had no objection, and agreed that Jiang Changning would be the master.

The Town God's Temple is near the city wall in the north of the city. The tea flower garden occupies a wide area, and the half-person-high white powder wall blocks the beautiful scenery of the garden.

"Ah, this is a private garden." Jiang Changning thought it was the garden of the Town God's Temple, and everyone could come in and out as he pleased.

"It's okay, let Chang Youzhong tell the owner of the flower garden that we are here to buy flowers and let us go in to enjoy them." King Jin laughed.

"If the flowers are good, it's not bad to buy some back." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

When Chang Youzhong was looking for the owner of the flower garden, King Jin took Jiang Changning into the Town God's Temple.

"Ningning, do you still remember where we first met?" King Jin asked.

"Ask the Heart Temple."

"I came out suddenly, did I scare you?"

Jiang Changning said with a smile: "I don't know where Deng Tuzi appeared, it really surprised me."

Enter the temple to worship the gods, and ask for a lottery.

The inexplicable Jiang Changning remembered an episode of an old Hong Kong movie, praying to God, praying to the Buddha sincerely, and smiling.

"Get a good lottery?" King Jin asked.

"The seventh lottery, I don't know if it's good or bad." Jiang Changning shook the bamboo stick in his hand and said.

At the gate of the temple, there is a temple wish to solve the lottery, give him the lottery, and give him the money for the lottery.

Miao Zhu found the lottery paper and said with a smile: "Congratulations, madam, this is the lottery. They are like a married couple. They are a perfect match, and they are pleasant and harmonious. The nobleman leads Qingyun Road, and the younger one will be admitted. The two will be together for a hundred years and grow old together. "

King Jin smiled brightly, "We will definitely do it, thanks to your auspicious words."

At this time, Zhong Youzhong often came to report, "Master, madam, you can enter the flower garden to enjoy the flowers."

The camellias in the flower garden are in full bloom. Some of the petals have been stretched out, revealing bright yellow stamens;

"I don't know if I can see eighteen bachelors here?" Jiang Changning is familiar with the famous Camellia, but he has never seen the real thing.

The eighteen bachelors are treasures among camellias, and there is a certain gap between the real thing and the eighteen bachelors in the book.

It is said in the book that Eighteen Scholars are camellias with eighteen colors, but the real thing is a camellia with eighteen rounds of petals arranged at two adjacent corners, so it can be called Eighteen Scholars.

According to the color of the flowers, it can be divided into pink, white, and red. Most of them are monochromatic flowers, and the mutated ones are double-colored. It is basically impossible to mutate eighteen colors. .

Although the owner of the flower garden can cultivate, eighteen bachelors are too rare. There are no eighteen bachelors in the flower garden, but there is Chidan.

The bright red flowers are as charming as peonies and delicate as roses.

"Ningning, you stand under the flower tree." King Jin said suddenly.

Jiang Changning stood under the flower tree as he said, with camellias in full bloom on his head, so delicate and charming.

"Turn around and laugh." King Jin commanded.

Jiang Changning turned around, with the corners of his lips raised, smiling like a flower.

King Jin said with satisfaction: "People are more beautiful than flowers."

"Thank you for the compliment." Jiang Changning lowered his head and pretended to be ashamed.

The flowering period of camellia is very long, from October to May of the following year, which can add warmth and joy to the cold winter.

"Yong Zhou, what do you think of this pot?" Jiang Changning took a fancy to a pot of camellias with abundant flowers, beautiful flower shapes, and a fresh and strong floral fragrance.

King Jin smiled and said, "You have chosen very well."

The number of flower buds is appropriate, and they grow on the branches in a patchwork manner.

The leaves are lush, oily and plump, and the branches are strong and strong, with no signs of pruning or falling off.

The soil is loose and breathable, and there is no need to change the soil again. It is cultivated from small seedlings, not transplanted after they grow up.

Jiang Changning carefully selected a few potted flowers, and asked Chang Youzhong to arrange someone to send them back to the palace first.

Coming out of the flower garden, King Jin took Jiang Changning to the Lin'an Guild Hall.

When going out, Jiang Changning said that he would treat him to a famous Hangzhou dish, and he thought that she must be homesick.

He is a prince, and he wants to stay in the capital. According to the law, he is not allowed to go out at will, and he is not allowed to make friends with local officials in private.

For the time being, he has no way to take her back to Hangzhou, so he can only eat Hangzhou food with her to comfort her homesickness.

"It's quite far from the Lin'an Guild Hall, so let's find another one," Jiang Changning said.

"Are you hungry?" King Jin asked.

Jiang Changning shook his head, "Not hungry."

"Then go to Lin'an Guild Hall, I want to eat famous Hangzhou dishes." King Jin smiled.

Jiang Changning didn't say any more, and obeyed him.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage entered the store from the side door of the Lin'an Guild Hall. The carriage came to a complete stop, and King Jin got off first. He turned around to help Jiang Changning, when someone shouted, "Lord Jin."
