princess

Chapter 61

The scene of giving the saber was like an episode, and few people paid attention to it. Zheng Guo’s snacks are all sweet. After tasting a few pieces, Xiao Yuanmin stopped eating. It's like honey barbecue, but the sweetness is moderate, not like Zheng Guo's.

Xiao Yuanmin and his group did not walk fast, and even took a little leisurely, occasionally picking a few things at the stalls. I took people to that kind of big silver building and ordered a batch of things. This is the real gift.

To be more precise, these were ordered by Xiao Yuanmin for Xiao Yuzuo. After careful selection, Xiao Yuanmin paid a deposit. They were not big items, but relatively delicate small items.

Murong Xi also ordered a few pieces to give to his younger brothers and sisters at home.

Handed over the bills of the silver building directly to Murong Xi, and asked him to keep it, several people left. After doing this, it was noon, Xiao Yuanmin and the others did not choose those big restaurants, but walked into a small alley, They inquired, and there is a small noodle restaurant in this alley, which tastes very good.

Before going to that shop, Xiao Yuanmin and the others could smell the aroma, because it was the time for eating, the shop was crowded with people, some people even squatted on the side of the road holding a big bowl to eat, many of them were gorgeously dressed , This really opened Xiao Yuanmin's eyes.

If it was only Murong Xi, he would have queued up to buy a bowl and squatted down to eat it, but because Xiao Yuanmin was there, it was a bit difficult.

Xiao Yuanmin was a little hesitant, she really wanted to taste it, but let her eat it...

Ban Xia thought for a while and said, "Master, why don't the servants hold it for you?"

Murong Xi pursed his lips and smiled, "I'll try it." After saying that, he walked in, and when he got to the proprietress who was below, he didn't know what he said in a low voice, but the proprietress nodded, and Murong Xi bowed to thank him.

The proprietress took a look at the store, walked to a table of people, said a few words to that person, the person nodded, finished the soup quickly, and left with her friends.

After Murong Xi thanked those two people, he waved to Xiao Yuanmin, Xiao Yuanmin walked over with a smile, the proprietress had already taken away the empty bowl, Murong Xi said, "There are not enough seats, let's share the table with others .”

A table can seat four people, and it can even seat six. Because this table is small, only four people can be seated. Now two people have left, and the other two have just come up, so it is impossible to leave.

Ban Xia wanted to clean the tables and chairs, but was stopped by Xiao Yuanmin. After all, it is good for them to have a position, but it is not good to be too special.

"You two sit down, I'll go ask for something." Seeing this, Murong Xi gave Xiao Yuanmin a higher opinion.

Xiao Yuanmin nodded, and said, "Ban Xia, sit down."

Ban Xia just sat next to Xiao Yuanmin, the man opposite took a look, swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said, "Come for the first time."

Xiao Yuanmin smiled and said, "Yes."

After hearing this, the man picked up a piece of meat and ate it, then gave a thumbs up, "You are right."

"I can smell the fragrance from afar." Xiao Yuanmin was a little more casual, "Thanks to the lady boss, she helped me find a place, otherwise I don't know what to do."

The man chuckled, and glanced at Murong Xi who was waiting in line, "Your husband treats you well."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yuanmin's face changed, it was not anger, but his cheeks were flushed, Ban Xia hurriedly said, "You...don't talk nonsense, my father...my girl is not engaged yet."

Because of nervousness, he spoke a little intermittently.

Hearing the words, the man paused for a moment, then glanced at Murong Xi again, nodded as if he understood, "It should, it should."

This made Xiao Yuanmin confused, what should he do?
"I think back when I married my wife, my wife tested me for a long time. I had to eat steamed buns from Lao Zhang's family in the morning, and Li Huabai from Li's family at noon..." Thinking of those days, men want to shed bitter tears , "But my wife really..."

The man began to mutter about his wife's goodness, Xiao Yuanmin couldn't explain it well, and it would be good not to explain it, the words were kept in his heart, don't mention how depressed he was.

Perhaps this is the first time Xiao Yuanmin has been left speechless since birth.

Ban Xia also opened his mouth a few times, but it was not good to say anything, even the more he explained, the more confused he felt.

However, Xiao Yuanmin looked at Murong Xi, and Murong Xi had already chatted and laughed with the people around him in a short period of time, which made the boss below all laugh.

Before he knew it, Xiao Yuanmin became distracted. The man talked for a long time and saw no one responding. After looking over, he found Xiao Yuanmin's situation. The man's eyes were clearly the same as his own wife's, he hummed a song unconsciously, and ate even more vigorously.

It's just that when he wanted to pick up the meat, he suddenly realized that the meat on the plate had been eaten by his friend without a sound, and he said angrily, "You villain."

His friend slowly swallowed the last piece of meat, "Yeah."

"My meat..." the man cried.

"I'm done eating."

"..." The man gritted his teeth, "I hate you."

"Ah."

After Murong Xi ordered four bowls of noodles and the stewed beef recommended by the proprietress, he came over with a tray, just in time to hear what the man said, and said with a smile, "I bought some more, why don't you share some with me? "

"That's so embarrassing." The man scratched his head, blushing and said.

"It's all right." Murong Xi put the things on the table, and used the new chopsticks to poke a lot into the two people's plates, "Meeting is fate."

"I'm sorry."

"Why don't you tell us about the delicious and fun places here?" Murong Xi smiled, "It's our first time here, so our eyes are dark."

"Okay." Hearing this, the man responded.

Ever since Murong Xi came over, Xiao Yuanmin hadn't looked at him again. For some reason, he kept thinking about what that person said just now...Your husband is good to you, your husband... With a bang, the face that had just faded turned red again.

Murong Xi didn't notice it at all, and after arranging the noodles and chopsticks for Xiao Yuanmin, he said, "There are two kinds of noodles here, one is big steak and the other is beef. I want both. Miss, why don't you try and see which one you like better."

"En." Xiao Yuanmin responded, and looked at the two bowls of noodles in front of him. One bowl had a big pork rib on it, and the other bowl had sliced ​​beef with a few green vegetables floating in it, which was quite appetizing.

"Ban Xia also choose a bowl." Murong Xi said with a smile.

"You can do as you please." Ban Xia murmured.

"If brothers don't mind, you can squeeze with the two of us." The man said.

"Thank you." Murong Xi didn't refuse, and after thanking them first, he directly sat on the seat vacated by the two of them. For some reason, that person made Murong Xi sit next to Xiao Yuanmin.

Xiao Yuanmin said, "You use a lot, why don't you use two bowls, and I can share the remaining two bowls with Pinellia."

Murong Xi thought for a while, then said, "Alright."

Ban Xia hurriedly placed two bowls of noodles in front of Murong Xi, and then took a small bowl of noodles for Xiao Yuanmin, half a bowl of noodles, the soup just exceeded the noodles, two green vegetables and a few slices of beef on top.

The person who had been silent all this time took a look at Ban Xia, and understood that these three people might have a lot of background, although they didn't show it, but from the amount of noodles and posture of the maid, it can be seen that they must come from a rich family of.

I just guessed that he didn't say a word, and started eating meat again, while the other person was talking to Murong Xi cheerfully, he didn't notice at all, and he might be annoyed if he found out later.

Xiao Yuanmin took the bowl and said, "You can eat too."

"Yes." Although Banxia agreed, she still got out a bowl of large row of noodles. After setting it up, she used the serving chopsticks to hold a bowl for herself. After Xiao Yuanmin used it, she slowly started eating.

In fact, when he came out, Murong Xi wanted to pretend to be Xiao Yuanmin's attendant, but his temperament was a little different, especially when he had just discussed with the proprietress to move a seat, you must know that there are so many guests waiting outside, even dressed in Those in fancy clothes squatted down to eat, his behavior can be considered abrupt, but the demeanor he displayed so that people would not be disgusted, it is right to be misunderstood now.

Xiao Yuanmin only took one sip, and he realized why there are so many people here. The noodles are very strong, and the soup is delicious. The light sweetness is not greasy but refreshing. There is a piece of stewed beef, which is also sweet and spicy. His eyes lit up, but he forgot the embarrassment just now and started to eat.

Murong Xi listened to people talking while eating, and added a few words from time to time, but his manner was elegant and not rude at all, and the man started talking about Prince Zheng's death in the Jin Dynasty while he was talking.

He didn't notice that this topic was introduced by Murong Xi little by little, but Xiao Yuanmin noticed it, but Murong Xi was his own, so she naturally wouldn't expose it, but listened carefully, and occasionally helped to say a few words .

"The prince died, and the prince of the Jin Dynasty came here. I'm afraid...he will get a lot of benefits." The man curled his lips and said.

This person looks carefree but is a sensible person.

"But..." The man was about to say something more, when his friend suddenly said, "I'm done eating."

"What?" The man noticed that the meat was gone again, "You pig!"

The topic was interrupted all of a sudden, but Murong Xi didn't care, instead he changed the topic, and the man started talking again, and his friend didn't interrupt.

In the end, when Murong Xi used up both bowls of noodles, the man stopped talking and said, "Although you have black spots, you will learn well by then. There will be a poetry meeting in Leyang Tower in a few days. Let's go together." Bar."

"Okay." Murong Xi replied straight away, "After talking for so long, I haven't asked for your names yet."

"My name is Zheng Tao, and his name is Zhang Zheng." Zheng Tao smiled, and Zhang Zheng also nodded.

Murong Xi said, "My name is Rong Mu." But he didn't introduce what Xiao Yuanmin meant, and the two of them didn't ask.

Zheng Tao said, "The poetry meeting will be two days later, and we will have a bowl of noodles here at noon, how about taking you there?"

"Okay." Murong Xi replied with a smile.

Xiao Yuanmin took a look at Zheng Tao, he was rough but delicate, it was not easy.One must know that Murong Xi only mentioned his name, but didn't say where he lived, and this person didn't even ask, and even set the meeting place at this noodle shop, unconsciously Xiao Yuanmin had a higher opinion of Zheng Tao.

"Women from the Poetry Club can also attend." Zhang Zheng said, implying that Xiao Yuanmin can also go.

"Thank you for reminding me." Murong Xi didn't help Xiao Yuanmin respond.

"Let's take our leave first." Zhang Zheng said without waiting for Zheng Tao to speak.

Murong Xi nodded, stood up and saw them off.

Zheng Tao and Zhang Zheng had already walked a long way, and Zheng Tao suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot to ask Brother Rong where they live."

Zhang Zheng raised his eyebrows. Even if he asked, those few people wouldn't say it, but he didn't tell Zheng Tao what he said. Instead, he said, "I'll ask another day."

"Alright." Zheng Tao nodded, and walked away cheerfully, "Brother Rong is really nice, judging by his manner and manner, he and I are really speculative."

"I'm afraid it's that kind of person. Talking to anyone will make people feel speculative." Zhang Zheng said.

Zheng Tao nodded, "But it's also because I'm a nice person. Well, those two people are really talented and beautiful, but Brother Rong is too dark..."

Zhang Zheng felt that the two of them were really talking... the donkey's head was wrong, what did my sister really like about this guy...

If Xiao Yuanmin didn't know that he had lost his sight, it's not that Zheng Tao didn't ask, he just forgot.

Not long after the two left, Murong Xi went to thank the boss and his wife before leaving with Xiao Yuanmin. Xiao Yuanmin also brought two catties of stewed beef to Xiao Yuzuo. Although the noodles were delicious, it was a pity that he couldn't eat them when he took them home.

Today Xiao Yuanmin ate four small bowls of noodles and ate a lot of meat, but he was a bit full, while Murong Xi ate two large bowls, and even ate half of the meat, but there was nothing wrong with him, Xiao Yuanmin only looked at him With a glance, he retracted his gaze, and suddenly asked, "What are your plans when you go back this time?"

Murong Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm going to guard the frontier, my grandfather is going to resign from office."

One must know that Murong Xi's grandfather, Murong Zhao, is now in charge of the security of the capital's military and guards. If Murong Xi went to the frontier and Murong Zhao was still the admiral of the Nine Gates, it would be too honorable.

In an instant, Xiao Yuanmin understood what they meant, and he couldn't tell what it was like. It was a matter of course, but also a little melancholy. Murong Xi was very talented, and it was because of his talent that he couldn't... can't do anything, Xiao Yuanmin didn't think about it anymore, "Father is afraid would not agree."

Murong Xi smiled and said nothing, no matter whether Emperor Xuanhe agrees or not, the Murong family must show this attitude.

For a while, Xiao Yuanmin lost the mood to continue playing, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back today."

"Okay." Murong Xi only thought that Xiao Yuanmin was tired.

Ban Xia glanced at Xiao Yuanmin with some concern, but said nothing. It would be great if Madam Zheng was here, and she could persuade the eldest princess.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Yuanmin changed into the ordinary clothes brought by Jin Dynasty. Zheng Guo's clothes were not ugly, but Xiao Yuanmin was more used to Jin Dynasty. He leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, Xiao Yuanmin looked out through the window, Murong Xi This step is very good. It is impossible for Murong Xi to take control of the military power when he goes to the frontier. The emperor will gradually grow old, and the princes will grow up, and the crisis of his younger brother will be even greater. At that time, with Murong Xi's talent, he may have completely controlled the military power.

When the battle for the throne will be fierce, Murong Xi will help Xiao Yuzuo even more.

He pursed his lips, forced himself not to think about it anymore, and started to think about Xiao Qingrong's affairs. Xiao Qingrong had already improved a little when she left the palace. The royal father will marry her far away, not with the royal family of another country, but with a heir with a title in a remote place.

I know Xuanhe Emperor Xiao Yuanmin. If he likes it, it's fine. If he doesn't like it, there are mistakes everywhere.

Xiao Yuanmin couldn't figure out why Concubine Lin would do this. The Lin family has nothing to fear now, but... can't let Concubine Lin just disappear, it is good to keep a concubine who is not a threat to her younger brother.

At least Concubine Lin Gui can still occupy the position of a noble concubine.

You must know that the Jin Dynasty can have one imperial concubine, two imperial concubines, four concubines, and eight concubines. Xiao Yuanmin is optimistic about the Xu family, and thinking about going back this time, Xu's position may change again.

Concubine Yao... It's not that Xiao Yuanmin looks down on her, but that she is better and safer in the position of concubine, but... Emperor Xuanhe is afraid that he wants to suppress the Zhu family, so it is best to lift the Zhou family and the Yao family Method.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yuanmin rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a little tired. Brother Sihuang's plan was very clear, but he was too eager for quick success, which made Emperor Xuanhe displeased. Although Concubine Shu came from the Hua family, it was also a big family, it's a pity She is a concubine, if she were a direct descendant of the Hua family... Xiao Yuanmin felt terrified at the thought of marrying into the Qian family's Hua family, and praised her.

Moreover, the Hua family's attitude towards Concubine Shu is exactly the same as before, and they have no intention of participating in it, which also reassures Xiao Yuanmin.

Concubine Jing's backer is the Empress Dowager, as long as the Empress Dowager is still there, then Concubine Jing will... Thanks to Concubine Jing giving birth to a girl this time, as long as it is later, when her younger brother grows up and his position is more stable, Concubine Jing will be considered It was too late for the concubine to give birth to a boy.

Concubine Ning is undoubtedly smart, and more importantly, she is calm, no matter what she plans, she is helping them now, otherwise Xiao Yuanmin will definitely not feel comfortable with such an enemy.

Concubine Xiao Yuanmin was not afraid, after all she was not liked by Emperor Xuanhe, and her only son died.

The second prince is undoubtedly a threat, but he is the most filial. Empress Huiyi was kind to Concubine Rong at the beginning, and Concubine Rong's background was not good. Now it seems that as long as she can win over Concubine Rong, the second prince can be a help.

Xiao Yuanmin is most optimistic about the Xu family, but he is optimistic about it, but he is extremely guarded in his heart, fearing that he will be bitten back in the end, but there is no better way now.

Concubine Yao is incompetent, Xiao Yuanmin just begged her not to drag the Yao family down, but it was precisely because Concubine Yao was incompetent that Xiao Yuanmin could tolerate her, otherwise Xiao Yuanmin would not be able to bear her appearance.

Guiren Lin seems to be smart, but it is impossible for the Lin family to have a high position, even if she can see clearly than Concubine Lin Gui, it is useless.

Emperor Xuanhe's new favorite, Zheng Guiren, was only a sixth-rank nobleman at the beginning, but because of his good service, he was promoted to a fourth-rank nobleman by Emperor Xuanhe. Xiao Yuanmin pursed his lips, already thinking about it.
