The beauty of the lady

Chapter 256 Birthday (2)
"Let's go then."

When they came to the gate of the mansion, they saw Ye Zhen standing at the door talking to Liao Fan. The mother and son came out, and then got into the carriage together, and went to Xiankeju in the north of the city. It is a shop, and there are many common people, so it is relatively more lively than the south of the city.Most of the downtown area in the south of the city is where the stewards of rich families usually buy.

When I arrived at Xiankeju, it was the busiest time for lunch. When the shopkeeper saw Ye Zhen coming in, he hurriedly walked around the counter and saluted.

"My lord, my concubine, you are here."

"Let's lead the way."

"Yes, please follow me this way."

The box is on the third floor, close to the street. Standing in front of the window, you can see the turbulent flow of people outside, as well as the cars and horses passing by.

Chunqin and the others found a place to sit on the second floor. At such a time, the lady didn't want them standing in front of her to serve her.

As soon as he sat down, Ye Cheng asked his father to move a chair for him and put it in front of the window, and then he stood on it, lying in front of the window and watching the bustling scene outside.

Because he is very short, even if he is standing on a chair, the edge of the window is as high as his chest, so he is not worried that she will fall off.

"Mother, won't uncle and aunt come over?"

"They will go to our house to have dinner together in the evening, and after lunch at noon today, they will take you outside to play."

"Okay, thank you mother."

What Zhou Mei didn't expect was that when the food was served, two people came outside, Yun Zhongren and Yin Yanqing.

"The two senior brothers also come here for lunch?" Seeing them, Zhou Mei asked with a smile.

After the two greeted Ye Xuan and himself, Yun Zhongren looked at Zhou Mei and said, "I originally wanted to go to the palace to celebrate your birthday, but who would have thought that the concierge would say that you have come to Xiankeju, so we even closed the gate of the palace?" If you didn’t go in, you came directly, but you are not welcome?”

"I originally wanted to say that you are not welcome, but since you are here, there is no reason to drive people away. Sit down." Zhou Mei raised her hand to greet the two, then asked the waiter to serve two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Two senior brothers Being able to come is better than anything else, I heard the prince said last night that the two senior brothers are still very busy, so I didn't think about making a big deal."

"The court affairs are very busy, but I still have time to celebrate your birthday, just go back in the afternoon."

"I always feel that the world is peaceful now. Who would have thought that there are still so many things." Zhou Mei didn't know much about political affairs, and thought that she was doing well, and others were not far behind.

"Of course there are many things. There are countless people in the world who can't get enough to eat. The imperial court doesn't pay much taxes. If there is a natural disaster, it will reduce or exempt taxes. The bad will be in the hands of those corrupt officials. If they are not punished, How will the people of the Great Yan Dynasty be safe in the future?"

"This is not in the hands of the elder brother, is it?"

"In the end, I have the right to speak. When the official department participates in the performance to send officials down, there is always a discussion in the court. If someone in the official department covers up, I can't do anything."

"It's all about doing your best. If there are no corrupt officials dug out, you won't be able to sit back and relax. Don't worry, Mr. Yun. It's just that the matters in the palace should be watched by Commander Yin, especially in the harem. If you want to send more people, send some skilled guards."

"My lord, is something going to happen in the palace?"

"Of course there is, but it will be stable for a short time."

Yin Yanqing didn't get the answer he wanted, so he didn't think about it anymore, the palace was also under his control, and the imperial guards were under his jurisdiction, and they were all promising young men from major families in the capital except the heirs.

But since Ye Zhen raised it emphatically, it must not be something out of nothing, something is going to happen in the harem.

Now Concubine Yun Gui is pregnant, and was taken to Shoukang Palace by Empress Dowager Chen to raise her baby until the prince was born in peace. It is not the empress that Empress Dowager cares about, but Concubine Rong Xian.

After lunch, Yun Zhongren and Yin Yanqing drank tea with them here for a while, and then got up and left. Zhou Mei dressed her son neatly, and together with Ye Xuan, led her son out of Xiankeju.

Although it is February at this time, the weather is still a little bit cold. Ye Cheng was put on a small snow-white cloak by his mother, and the neckline was wrapped with a circle of white fox fur, reflecting the white and rosy little face , exceptionally cute.

The father next to him who thought he was a charming character, and the mother who thought he was charming and charming, the family of three were definitely luminous bodies that people couldn't take their eyes off.

There are all kinds of items in the stalls on both sides of the street. Not long after walking, he took a candied hawthorn and ate it with great joy. The sweet and sour hawthorn gourd made him unable to stop his mouth. The sugar figurine, all the twelve zodiac signs are displayed vividly in the hands of the man, there are also various cheap jewelry vendors, rouge gouache, and food, such as facial paralysis, jelly noodles, duck blood vermicelli soup, steamed buns, etc. , Ye Zhen was dazzled by watching, and turned around in the crowd, so busy that he could not wait for his hands and feet to feel windy.

Behind, Liao Fan and Sun Ying followed the little ancestor. It didn't take long before their hands and feet were covered with all kinds of things. In the end, they didn't even have the hands to pay, and they were still a guard who couldn't see it. They stepped forward to help Liao Fan was carrying it, and gave him the hand to pay for the empty space.

Although I have already had lunch in the restaurant, there are experts in the folk here, and there are many foods from them that the rich and powerful can't eat. At least once I tasted the crystal fish fillet, Zhou Mei couldn't put it down.

I saw a carp waving quickly under the knife in the hands of the master knife master, and was quickly sliced ​​into thin pieces, held up to the sun, it seemed to be able to penetrate, crystal clear, sandwiched a piece, in the broth It is already cooked through lightly rinsing in the hot pot. Although it is a bit hot on the tongue when it is put in the mouth, the taste is really endless.

After the two groups of people finished eating the three fish, Ye Cheng felt his belly bulge, and the accompanying people still had all kinds of delicacies that had been bought, and they would only continue eating when they returned home to digest their food.

In front is the Zhou Family Grain Shop. Zhou Mei stopped when passing by, and said to Ye Xuan, "Let's go in and have a look."

"Is this your dowry shop?"

"Well, Le Zhao has always been taking care of it. I haven't visited the palace since I married into the palace."

"Then go in and have a look."

After walking in, the shopkeeper saw Zhou Mei, so he hurriedly got up and trot forward, "I have seen the princess."

"Don't be too polite, shopkeeper, is the business in the store okay?"

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, the corners of his mouth couldn't even close together happily: "Of course it's good, there's never any stale grain in our shop, and the flour we grind out is white and strong, whether it's for steamed buns or pasta, it's very sweet and delicious Eat, a lot of customers have come to us to buy food in the past few days."
