Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 39 Not suitable for travel (1)

"What A Niang said is that my son thinks the same way..."

After returning from Dongyang County Prince's Mansion, Princess Jiang brought Jiang Hong and Jiang Shan back to Nanning County Prince's Mansion, first called Jiang Hong and Lin Dalang in, asked about the situation of the Wenhui over and over again, and went straight to the fourth prince's every word and every demeanor. They all asked clearly and clearly, and then Jiang Hong let go, and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

Jiang Hong was sweating through his clothes when asked by his aunt, he came out and breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at his cousin who seemed to be doing nothing, secretly sighed, his cousin was so honest and dull, it was only because of his aunt who asked him this question for many years right!
Jiang Shan came out quickly, Jiang Hong didn't finish his cup of tea, so Lin Ke brought Jiang Shan out on his arm.

"Our trip to Beijing went smoothly this time. Auntie said that she would take me to the Erlang Temple to fulfill my vows the day after tomorrow. I heard that it is very lively there. You should go with me. After the incense is good, I will let Auntie take us to eat delicious food. Call up sister Li and Yu, I just wanted to discuss this matter with you when I came out of Dongyang County Palace just now, but you are too busy talking to people to ignore me." Jiang Shan blamed while inviting, Jiang Shan is also a Lin Ke, who is innocent and lively, has no sincerity and sincerity, has a very good temper, but within two days, the two have gotten very close.

"Hey, you want to invite Sister Li and Sister Yu, why don't you talk to them and discuss with me?"

"I'm new here, and I don't know the rules of the capital. I'm afraid that being rude will make people laugh." Jiang Shan explained.

"You are my cousin. The two of them won't laugh at you. We seldom laugh at people. Sister Li said that is not good. I can't go the day after tomorrow. I made an appointment with Sister Li to buy paper and ink the day after tomorrow. Sister Yu I'm going to go out with her mother tomorrow, and I won't be back until the day after tomorrow, so I won't be free."

Jiang Shan let out an "oh" in disappointment. She liked being with the three of them very much. It was so interesting to watch them talk and act. Seeing Jiang Shan's disappointed face, Lin Ke explained in detail: "Shopping is not considered a good thing. Urgent matter, who will buy paper and ink now, but Li’s sister is different. She used to live with her grandmother. Clean and tidy, none of the good things she had collected in the past are gone, and now she is full of filial ability to go out and walk around. It is really a shortage of things. We have to go to Jieyufang to have a look after buying paper and ink. We will not be free all day. .”

"I don't know which one in Beijing has the best paper and ink. I also want to buy a few ingots of ink." Jiang Hong suddenly interrupted and asked. Jiang Shan looked at her brother and said strangely: "You collected so much ink..."

"How much did you collect? I didn't bring it here in Huaiyang. I wanted to buy it yesterday." Jiang Hong intercepted his sister's words and explained a few more words. Lin Ke tilted his head and glanced at him, and slowly said, "Oh ' With a sound, my narrow mind suddenly became useful, and my mind turned quickly. Sister Tian's marriage has not yet been settled, and my cousin is so good... Naturally, it is best for Sister Tian to marry into her natal family!Although Lin Ke was making small calculations, he didn't dare to be reckless, and said in a long voice, "Let me think... which one is better? I really don't understand this, but what, sister Li and I, still There is Sister Yu, who bought them at Shaohuazhai. We don’t know how to write or practice calligraphy. We don’t understand this, and we don’t know if the things there are good. Well, they sure know."

Jiang Hong was heartbroken by what Lin Ke said, and he firmly remembered the three words "Shaohuazhai". Lin Ke gave him a sideways glance, pulled Jiang Shan and said enthusiastically: "Sister Shan , if you want to buy anything, you can come to me, the ones we girls use, such as rouge powder, bead flower collar wipe, and other powders and powders, which one is the best, I know it all , I’ll take you to buy them, I’m sure they’ll be cheap and good!”

"Okay, I will definitely find you for anything I want to buy." Jiang Shan hurriedly agreed happily. Jiang Hong looked at Lin Ke from behind, opened his mouth to ask something more, and swallowed the words again. This cousin didn't seem to be It's better to be careful, anyway, it's not a big deal, but it's just a little bit more work... Jiang Hong smiled slightly, shook his folding fan and followed behind leisurely, without saying a word .

The next day, Li Tian woke up early, picked out a light gray silk skirt, a light gray tube top, and a sky blue and gray trousers on the outside. Yingluo took a dark gray peony gauze hat and wrapped it up and handed it to Yin Hua. Then, Qing Zhi and Yin Hua followed Li Tian out of the door, outside the corner door, Mammy Xiong was already waiting with two women who were going out with her.

Li Tian got into the car, the driver shook the reins, and the car went unhurriedly towards the Donghua Gate where Yiluansi, Cherenyuan and other foreign officials gathered.

Over the past few years, Li Tian's Muji soup noodle shop has opened seven or eight small shops near the Waizhusi and other government offices, as well as places where scholars gather, such as Gongyuan and Daxiangguo Temple. They are not very big, the small ones only have three or four small tables for four people, and the big ones only have a dozen or so tables. Each store has very few types of noodle soup, but only five or six types, and there are a few that are available all year round. The noodle soup is the same in every store, but every store must have one or two seasonal noodle soups that are not available in other stores. These small shops don't pay attention to anything else, they only emphasize two things, one is delicious, and the other is clean.

When Li Tian opened these small noodle shops, he had other plans. He didn't expect to make money, but he just didn't want to lose too much money. Waiting for a medium family has a great reputation, and the small shop can make money within a month of opening, which is beyond Li Tian's expectations.

Li Tian used to go to one of these small shops for about a month to taste the food and check the hygiene.It has been more than half a year since my grandma got sick and it has been inconvenient to go out.

This soup noodle shop outside Donghuamen just opened in the second half of last year. Like the others, there is a small signboard at the entrance of the shop, with only the word 'wood' written on it. First push the door and go in, Li Tian put on the veiled hat and got out of the car, and entered the small shop with Qing Zhi.

This noodle soup shop is a small shop within a small shop. There are only three people in total. The shopkeeper is also Dangtou.

The shopkeeper just came back from buying vegetables, and was busy tidying up the back kitchen with his staff. He didn't know that Li Tian was coming, and he was busy scrubbing everywhere.Seeing Li Tian coming in, the shopkeeper hurriedly washed his hands and came over to greet him in a hurry, and hurried back to the back kitchen. The three of them worked hard together, and put the six kinds of noodle soups currently on sale in the store: vegetarian noodle soup, fried eel noodle, stewed pork noodle, ribs Made a bowl of noodles, green vegetable noodles and seafood noodles, served them hot and placed them in front of Li Tian.

Li Tian didn't sit down when he entered the store, he went to hand the curtain cap to Yin Hua, Yin Hua took it and folded it carefully, Qing Zhi followed Li Tian, ​​carefully inspected every place, and wiped it around with a plain white handkerchief Once, I pointed out a few dirty corners, and then went to the back kitchen to look again, and then returned to the store, sat down in front of the innermost table, first probed into the bowls and carefully looked at the color of the soup , just picked up the spoon to try the noodle soup, when the door of the shop was suddenly pushed wide open, and someone heard the voice first: "Lao Zhu, give me a bowl of eel noodles from crossing the bridge, the old rules, wide soup and heavy green!" , the fifth prince, Qin Yu, wore a duck-green gown, tied with a white jade belt, tall and tall, waving a folding fan and stepped into the small shop, as if the morning glow suddenly rushed into the room, his heroic and handsome appearance made Li Tian subconscious narrowed his eyes.

How did he get here?It seems that they are still regular customers, but it's not yet time for Muji to open for business!

The fifth prince, Qin Yu, was even more surprised than Li Tian: "It's you? How did you find this place? You also like the noodles here? I didn't expect it! It's delicious! Eh?" The fifth prince recognized Li Tian, ​​without saying a word After that, he saw the six bowls of noodle soup neatly placed in front of Li Tian, ​​and let out a surprised "Huh". , looked at Li Tian again, then looked at his face, and suddenly burst out laughing.

The Fifth Prince sat down on the stool with a smile, nodded to Li Tian who was looking at him with a blank face, and then nodded to the shopkeeper Lao Zhu who looked distressed, and laughed loudly: "Young lady...you have a good appetite! This morning, Good appetite! Lao Zhu, you can’t patronize to make money, these six bowls of noodles... Hahaha, you should order one bowl after another, this row of six bowls is so spectacular! Little lady, you eat, you eat quickly, I watch."

Li Tian felt as if she had stepped on mud. In such a big capital city, she only came to the shop once in half a year. How could she bump into him?Li Tian lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, stood up with a 'huh', took the veiled cap from Yin Hua's hand, put it on and went out, forget it, come back another day, because he is not something she can afford Second, looking at him like this, he is ready to sit and enjoy eating noodles, let him point and smile like this, she won't be able to taste anything she eats!

"Hey! Little lady, you eat yours, don't leave!" The fifth prince was stomping his feet and laughing loudly, seeing that Li Tian was about to leave, he hurriedly beckoned to stay: "If you leave, those six bowls of noodles will be a pity, Sigh! Have you given me the money?" Li Tian paused at the door of the store, and raised his hand with his teeth staggered, Qing Zhi fumbled for a small piece of silver from his purse in a fluster, not daring to look at the fifth prince, He lowered his head and put it on the table closest to him, and hurriedly went out to chase Li Tian away with his head down.

Li Tian rushed to the front of the car with her skirt flying in the air, and without even taking off the veil, she stepped on the long veil and climbed onto the car. Inside, Qingzhi hurriedly caught the curtain cap, followed closely behind by Yinhua and climbed into the car, waving his hands to signal to hurry up, the car shook and rushed forward, Li Tian sat on the car, raised his hand and rubbed his temples fiercely, watching After you come, you have to take a good look at the almanac before you go out!

"Fifth lady, should I go back to Shaohuazhai after breakfast, or find another place to have breakfast?"
