Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 55 Acting
  When the two came out of the store, Sun Li and Liu Shuqing were no longer visible on the street. Yao Shan Zhi pouted, "Why are you walking so fast?"

"Probably into the alley." Zhao Wangshu guessed.

"Let's look for it." Yao Shanzhi regarded looking for Sun Li and Liu Shuqing as a game and was very interested.

The weather in May was perfect and there were many pedestrians on the street. They did not find Sun Li and Liu Shuqing, but they met the third prince Lin Da and Liu Qiangwei.

Liu Qiangwei is the concubine of Duke Yongguo and his only daughter, ranking second in the family.

"I have met the Third Prince in Yixing." Yao Shanzhi saluted.

Zhao Wangshu knelt down and saluted, "My little daughter has met the Third Prince. Hello, Miss Liu."

"Qiangwei greets the county lord, hello Miss Zhao." Liu Qiangwei returned the greeting.

"Do you know each other?" Lin Da asked.

Liu Qiangwei smiled and said: "Miss Zhao and I worshiped Buddha together at Zifu Temple."

"I didn't expect that you two would have such a connection." Lin Da's eyes flashed slightly, "In that case, why don't we go have a cup of tea together?"

Zhao Wangshu didn't want to have more contact with these princes, and was about to refuse, but Liu Qiangwei said: "The teahouse has a dim sum that tastes great."

Everyone knows that Yao Shanzhi loves delicious food, and this is the best way to seduce her.

"Then we have to have a taste." Yao Shanzhi smiled at Zhao Wangshu, "right?"

"Yes." Zhao Wangshu smiled helplessly.

When we arrived at the teahouse, we sat down in a private room and the shopkeeper served tea and exquisite refreshments.

Yao Shanzhi picked up a piece of pastry with chopsticks. It melted in your mouth and tasted sweet. "What's the name of this pastry? It tastes pretty good."

Liu Qiangwei nodded, "This is the store's new snack, sweet coconut glutinous rice cake. The first time I ate it, I thought it was very good."

After hearing this, Yao Shanzhi smiled with satisfaction, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "This tea is not bad."

"Miss Zhao, don't you want to try this pastry?" Lin Da asked when he saw Zhao Wangshu drinking tea in silence.

"Wangshu, try it quickly. This pastry tastes really good." Yao Shanzhi put a piece of pastry on the small plate in front of Zhao Wangshu. In front of outsiders, she called Zhao Wangshu's name.

Zhao Wangshu couldn't refuse, so he picked up the pastry, took a bite, and said with a faint smile: "It tastes really good."

"How does it compare with the pastries in the imperial dining room?" Lin Da looked at her and asked.

Zhao Wangshu lowered his eyelids, avoided his gaze, and replied: "Every taste has its own merit. This sweet coconut glutinous rice cake is fresh and not greasy, while the pastries in the imperial dining room are a little sweeter."

Yao Shanzhi listened and nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, the taste of this sweet coconut glutinous rice cake is different from the pastries in the Imperial Kitchen. It is lighter and you won't feel tired after eating too much."

Liu Qiangwei smiled and said: "In addition to pastries, this teahouse also has other pretty good food. Don't you want to try it, sir?"

"I want to try it." Yao Shanzhi was full of expectation.

Liu Qiangwei asked the store to deliver the most distinctive crab meat dumplings in the store.

The Xiao Long Bao has thin skin and plenty of filling. The soup is delicious and the aroma of crab is rich. After one bite, the juice overflows and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth.

"These crab meat dumplings are really delicious, better than the usual steamed buns." Yao Shanzhi picked up another one and ate it.

Liu Qiangwei smiled and said: "I heard from the store that the skin of this crab meat dumpling is made of fresh fish skin and noodles, which makes the skin thin and tender. The filling is made of fresh shrimp." The meat and crab meat are mixed together to make it taste so delicious.”

"The cooking method is quite particular." Yao Shanzhi ate another bun.

"Gardenia, don't eat it, be careful to accumulate food." Zhao Wangshu dissuaded in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yao Shanzhi could only nod, but couldn't help but reminisce about the wonderful taste, "These crab meat dumplings are so delicious, we can eat here often in the future."

"Okay, let's come together next time." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"The relationship between the county master and Miss Zhao is so good, so enviable." Liu Qiangwei sighed. "Don't envy us, you and the third prince also have a very good relationship." Yao Shanzhi said bluntly.

Liu Qiangwei's cheeks were slightly red, and she glanced at Lin Da, her eyes as gentle as water, full of affection.

Lin Da looked at her, his eyes full of pampering and joy.

Both Zhao Wangshu and Yao Shanzhi felt a little embarrassed when they looked at each other as if no one was around. At this time, they heard noises coming from outside the window.

Yao Shanzhi looked down, "If there's a lot of excitement, let's go, Wang Shu, let's go down and have a look."

"Third Prince, let's go down and take a look." Liu Qiangwei said softly.

"Okay." Lin Da also followed the three women out.

When they reached the bottom, Yao Shanzhi pulled the onlookers, "Give way."

When I squeezed in, I saw an old man in ragged clothes curled up on the ground. His eyes were closed and his face was pale. He looked very pitiful.

"What's going on?" Yao Shanzhi asked.

Someone next to him said: "He suddenly fainted while walking. He doesn't know what happened."

"Either he fell ill or fainted from hunger." Someone speculated.

"Send him to the hospital and let the doctor take a look." Zhao Wangshu said.

"You guys, carry this old man to the hospital." Lin Da ordered.

"Yes, Third Prince." The guards responded loudly.

I heard the people watching whispering: "The third prince is so kind. He can help an old man when he sees him."

"Yes, the third prince cares about the people like this. He is really a rare good prince."

Zhao Wangshu's eyebrows moved slightly, why did he feel that Lin Da was trying to win people's hearts?

Perhaps to show that he loves his people as his own children, Lin Da followed him to the medical clinic.

In the hospital, the doctor carefully examined the old man and said, "This old man fainted because he did not eat for a long time. He is weak and fainted. Now he can recover as long as he takes a good rest and eats some food."

"In that case, thank you doctor." Lin Da said.

"Third Prince, you should be kind-hearted, otherwise who would care about this ragged old man." A guard said astutely.

"You can't say that. Everyone has their own difficulties. When you see others in trouble, help them if you can." Lin Da said with dignity.

When the old man woke up, he learned that the third prince had saved him and that the third prince had paid for his treatment. He burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you, third prince. I will definitely set up a longevity plaque for you."

"Old man, no need, just live a good life after you go back." Lin Da said.

"Yes, old man, you must live a good life after you go back." Liu Qiangwei agreed.

Yao Shanzhi and Zhao Wangshu didn't say anything, quietly watching what happened.

Lin Da not only rewarded the old man with a small bag of broken silver, but also appointed two guards to send him back. He really loved his people as his own son to the extreme.

The old man's affairs were settled and it was not too early. Yao Shanzhi and Zhao Wangshu separated from Lin Da and the others.

On the way to send Zhao Wangshu back to the Zhao family mansion, Yao Shanzhi asked her, "Yue'er, don't you think this is a bit weird?"

Zhao Wangshu smiled slyly and said: "The play is so good that we can watch it without paying any money. How wonderful it is."

Yao Shanzhi blinked his eyes and smiled: "It's pretty good."
