Beautiful step by step

Chapter 13

The bustling east of the city is lined with shops, all kinds of delicious, good-looking, and interesting things are densely covered on both sides, just like a super-large amusement park.After going to the street, Yan Yun felt like a fish in water, running all over the street with joy.

Gu Yu followed him all the way to pay, Wei Wei and Yan Heng walked behind, with small gadgets stuffed in their hands from time to time.Sugar figurines, windmills, and wood carvings are slightly rough in workmanship, but they have a simple beauty.

"This Great Sage Equaling Heaven is really vividly carved."

A wood carving of Monkey King was stuffed into Wei Wei's hands. The thumb-sized thing only slightly carved out the outline, but the simple strokes on the face portrayed the majesty of the great sage.

"Ayun has liked these gadgets since he was a child, but the ones sold at the temple fair in Jiuquan County are not as exquisite as those in Beijing."

"Then buy some more, and take them back with multiple carriages on the way back. By the way, apart from Ah Yun, does Ah Heng have siblings in his family?"

As soon as the words came out, she obviously felt that Yan Heng's mood was not right.She understands this reluctance to mention it very well. In her previous life, her parents died early and left a huge inheritance, and those relatives who usually kneeled and licked to take advantage of small things all rushed forward like wolves.Although she cleaned up one by one in the end, she still didn't want to mention her relatives when facing outsiders.

After fiddling with the wood carving, she changed the subject with a smile: "After all, it's Ah Heng's family business, so I blame me for asking so much. A Yun ran so far away with a wrong eye, and almost disappeared. There are many sellers in the capital, and there are also many kidnappers." , we have to keep up."

After she finished speaking, she started to walk forward, but Yan Heng grabbed her arm.The latter beckoned to the front, called back the little guy and said with a tigery face, "Your sister, Auntie, is injured, don't run too far."

"Sister Ah Mao, I'm sorry, I was too happy to play and forgot to take care of you."

Ah Yun lowered his head and humbly admitted his mistake, and then although he did not lose his curiosity, he always followed the two of them.Occasionally, when encountering crowded places, he even sticks to her side to protect her carefully.

This child is too obedient, Wei Wei couldn't bear it, and patted his little head: "My body injury is almost healed, and now I like these little things that A Yun found."

"Sister Ah Mao really likes it?" The little guy's eyes sparkled.

"Well, I like it very much. I'm just afraid that if you run too far and meet bad guys, it doesn't matter if you play, just don't stay too far away from Sister Gu Yu."

Yan Yun nodded heavily: "I remember, Sister Ah Mao, I'll go find something right now."

The little guy ran forward with short legs, and turned back with a few gadgets after a while.Although Wei Wei was too old for liking toys, she couldn't help being happy seeing Ah Yun's rosy little face beaming with joy.

In this way, Ah Yun handed things to her first when she bought something, and she played with it a few times and put it in her hand.Once there are too many things, I can't let go of them in my hands. At this time, another pair of big hands will always reach out and take the things in her hands.Walking all the way to the gate of Guangyuan Building, I turned my head to look at Yan Heng, who was always taking half a step back, and saw that he had a pocket hanging on the front and a burden on the back, and all kinds of gadgets stretched out with teeth and claws, looking like a thousand hands Avalokitesvara.

"We bought so much."

Wei Wei was a little embarrassed, although Ah Yun bought the things, but she hand-stuffed them all to Yan Heng.Originally, she wouldn't have too much emotion, but she was afraid of some things.In her previous life, when she was fighting with her best relatives alone, one of her ways to reduce stress was to buy, buy, buy.At that time, there was a soft rice man carrying a bag behind her. After a few visits, he simply found an excuse to avoid fancy evasion.

Ruanfannan wanted her money anyway, but now Yan Heng has nothing to do but can do this.There were people coming and going on the street, and his attire attracted many people's attention, but from the beginning to the end, he was not at all unnatural, let alone complaining.Even in order to let her have a good time shopping, he consciously took half a step back to avoid her sight.How could she not be moved by him like this.

"Hurry up and ask if there is any seat. I'm exhausted from shopping all morning, so let's go in and have a rest."

After taking the burden from Yan Heng's hand, and holding the heavy weight in her hand, her desire to find a place to sit down became stronger and stronger.He signaled Gu Yu to find the waiter, she watched from not far away.

"Miss, I'm really sorry, Beijing has been busy recently, and our seat in Guangyuan Building is fully booked a week in advance."

Gu Yu was in a hurry: "The Zhenbeihou Mansion can..."

Hearing her say these words, Wei Wei's face darkened: "Gu Yu, do you remember what I said before going out this morning."

Stopping Gu Yu and pulling the banner of the Marquis Mansion, Wei Wei took a step forward: "Our manor entertains guests, they come from a long distance, so let me be accommodating, my second brother. Maybe someone has reserved a seat and comes a step later, maybe it won't wait." When they come, we're already done."

Xiao Er showed a look of embarrassment: "Girl, it's not that I won't help you. Our Guangyuan building is different from other houses. The owner has very strict requirements on the ingredients. As far as the dishes are concerned, they must be picked from the suburbs of Beijing on the same day. Bring in the dew early. That’s all we have every day, and we can’t make an extra table.”

It sounds a bit like the Michelin star restaurant in the previous life, and it is indeed a big food empire on the tip of my tongue.While being proud, she felt even more regretful that such a good restaurant might not be available today.

Full of regret, he was about to turn his head when a shadow was cast in front of him.Yan Heng walked to her side, and asked the little girl in front of her, "Is the Crescent Moon Pavilion on the third floor still available?"

Xiao Er hesitated, but still replied respectfully: "It is true that it is still vacant, but the shopkeeper specially ordered that the Crescent Moon Pavilion is not open to the public."

"Trouble Xiao Er to make a trip and tell Brother Bo'an that his old friend Yan Heng is visiting."

Xiao Er stared wide-eyed, as the waiter of Guangyuan Building, how could he not know his boss' nickname, Bo'an.His boss is different from other people, most people have such a big business, they would have found a few apprentices to enjoy their own happiness, but this boss just stays in the backyard kitchen cooking all day long, and rarely sees people on weekdays.Such a boss, would he really know the boy who was carrying a strange burden in front of him?Xiaoer was full of doubts, but when he saw that the young man looked determined and did not seem to be lying, he promised to turn around and run towards the store.

After he left, Wei Wei was full of suspicion: "Do you know the shopkeeper of Guangyuan Building?"

Yan Heng nodded and shook his head again: "It's just a chance acquaintance, he should not be the shopkeeper. Gu Yu mentioned Guangyuan Building this morning, I thought it was a coincidence of the same name. I didn't know for sure until I heard Xiao Er introduce fresh vegetables."

It turned out to be like this, no wonder he had an unnatural expression when he mentioned Guangyuan Building early in the morning.But even the person in charge of the most prestigious restaurant in the capital knew him. Is Yan Heng really just a humble military officer in the northwest border?
With a question mark in my heart, I saw a fat man like Maitreya Buddha rushing out from the Guangyuan Building, his face was red and his voice was like a bell: "Brother Yan, it really is you. I heard that the Northwest Army entered Beijing a long time ago, and I have been thinking of being like you." In this way, those who are energetic and able to fight will come together. After so many days, I hope you will come."

The fat man rushed to the door, looked at Yan Heng, one big and one small, his eyes lit up: "Siblings, sisters and nephews are here too, I'll tell you why the magpie on the tree kept barking, it turned out to be double happiness. Come inside, brother Yan is really a coincidence, your Shangfeng seems to be surnamed Wu, and he is on the second floor right now."
