Chapter 51: Sleepless Nights
On the lively main city street, because of the wedding of Ruo Ao Ziyan and Mi Huang, Ruo Ao's wedding cake cart was parked everywhere, and there were all kinds of dazzling hawkers who took the opportunity to do business, placed on their left and right, and all the theater floors sang the anti-Yong drama he made up that "Chu has a female name Mi Huang, and she wants blood to return and be a phoenix". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Adults and children who love drama all follow the lyrics sung in this theater building, babbling and singing.
"The state of Chu has a female name called Mihuang, and she wants blood to return as a phoenix...... Heaven is better than wings, and once the king is determined. ”
There are also many ordinary people in Yingdu who are lined up in front of the wedding cake car, receiving the rations of the whole family for the next half month. There are also people dressed in shoes called Hanako, because in front of the wedding cake car, the tall guard with a javelin does not dare to step forward, so he can only stand aside to see if anyone wants the wedding cake and go forward to pick it up.
In short, the whole street was filled with a kind of joy because of this grand wedding.
"This son, get a wedding cake!"
A conscientious Ruo Ao clan descendant, holding a dustpan of wedding cakes, enthusiastically stepped forward to block the way.
Cheng Jia glanced down at the wedding cake he had taken in his hand.
It is painted with a festive pattern of Feng Laiyi, and it is also written: Congratulations to the auspicious words of the wedding of the concubine Ruo Ao Ziyan and the princess Mihuang.
Then casually hold it in your hand and continue walking.
After walking a few steps, a young man named Hanako suddenly stopped his way, and asked cautiously, "This son, do you want this wedding cake?
"Take it! I don't want it. Hearing this, Cheng Jia glanced at the little boy who was less than his waist, dressed in rags, and must have been a homeless person who had been exiled to Yingdu from nowhere, and handed it to him.
Xiao Hua Ziyan's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously as if he had won a treasure, "Thank you, thank you for your kindness!"
"You're welcome!" Cheng Jia smiled and shook his head.
"Huh?" said Hanako, who was stunned for a moment.
He had been in front of this wedding cake shop for a day, and for the first time he had met such a noble nobleman, his clothes, accessories, and jade crown were worth a lot of money, but he did not expect that he would say to him, "You're welcome!"
It's really not like an ordinary dignitary.
Then he thanked him even harder, "Thank you, thank you for the reward!"
Hanako turned around and thanked her one by one, and happily ran to the little girl who was almost half fainting from hunger on the corner of the street.
"Xi'er, Xi'er, look, I also received the wedding cake. ”
The boy picked up the girl, carefully broke the cake into two halves, handed her the large one, and then happily took the small one and ate it himself.
When the little girl heard this, she took the cake, and a kind of familiar joy rose on her face.
"Well, you eat it too!"
"Well, let's eat together!"
Lively streets, lively crowds, lively sounds.
The little boy and the little girl happily snuggled up to each other on the corner of the street, eating a piece of bread.
Cheng Jia stood on the street, looked at it once, and had a hint of not knowing what night it was.
The quaint streets of ancient times are very different from the fashionable and prosperous streets of modern times.
There are no high-rise buildings, no light bulbs, no LED screens, no dancing and no smartphones......
Nothing, and no parents he once had.
Then turn around and continue walking through the crowd.
He didn't know where he was going today.
I just want to walk around.
Suddenly, an extremely happy voice sounded in my ears again, "Childe, are you here?"
Cheng Jia turned around when he heard the sound, took a look, and it turned out that he had come here.
When I looked up, I saw the signboard of "Wanji Wonton" in my eyes.
The shopkeeper was very familiar with guiding him to the private room on the second floor, "I heard that Gongzi has made a great contribution this time and has done a great thing, and now the streets and alleys are singing about this matter...... while talking about the various rumors he heard.
Cheng Jia nodded and followed him to the second floor, and when he was about to enter the private room with eight screens in the familiar place, he stopped and frowned, "Change a room today." ”
"Okay, then let's go next door!" shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said immediately.
"Childe, do you want to do it yourself today? Or will Lao Wan do it. After a while, Lao Wan also ran up with a big belly and greeted him personally.
"Just eat what you made. Cheng Jia nodded and said.
"Okay, Childe, you wait, you'll be fine right away. Lao Wan had a fat face, and he was very happy when he heard this, "Childe hasn't been here for a while, this time I must let you try my craft, whether there is any progress." ”
"Good. Cheng Jia smiled when he heard this.
Familiar environment, familiar people, coming here, I feel that people are also a little relaxed.
Cheng Jia casually opened the window and looked out, there was a lot of traffic outside, while his gaze was farther away, a low mountain, where the clouds were shrouded in mist.
After a while, according to the old rules, Lao Wan brought two bowls of wontons and two pairs of chopsticks and set them on the table.
Cheng Jia looked back, shook his head and smiled.
"I don't have to make two bowls today. ”
"Ahh Lao Wan looked surprised.
"It's okay, I forgot to say it. Cheng Jia shook his head, "Two bowls are two bowls!"
"Mmmm, that boy eats first, and I'll go out first. Lao Wan glanced at Cheng Jia, said, and then closed the door for him from the outside, always feeling that Childe was a little weird today, and he would smile with three points of approachability when he had nothing to do on weekdays.
"Okay!" Cheng Jia nodded, pulled out a mahogany round stool and sat down, and looked up at the position where no one was sitting opposite, and the wonton soup bowl and wooden chopsticks were neatly arranged.
Each time, he was alone, eating one bowl, then watching the other bowl of heat fade away, and then eating it for her.
Cheng Jia didn't pick up the wontons in front of him first this time, but got up and came to her place, sat down and said, "This is the wonton I brought you, I'll help you eat it first today, okay?"
After speaking, he suddenly smiled, "No need to ask, you won't have to eat in the future." ”
Then I picked up my chopsticks, sandwiched a round and round wonton, and ate it.
"It's really delicious!"
After eating both bowls, Cheng Jia sat down again, listened to the drama sung on the other side, and then instructed Lao Wan to arrange a car for him.
"Why is Childe out of the city on such a big night?" asked Lao Wan puzzled.
"I want to go climb the mountain and see the sunrise. ”
"Oh, then why don't you let Xiao Si go with you. Lao Wan said, and told the shopkeeper to follow.
"Hmm!" Cheng Jia nodded.
Xiao Si happily got into the carriage, drove the carriage with honor, and said, "Childe, I will go how you say, I will go, this Yingdu is two hundred miles away, I am familiar with it." ”
"Let's go to Phoenix Mountain!"
"Phoenix Mountain! Okay, Childe is sitting tight. Xiao Si said the news he had collected on weekdays, "It's strange, this nameless mountain actually got such a good name because of the princess's wedding, and everyone said that a phoenix was found on the mountain! I heard that a big palace was built on the top of the Phoenix Mountain, and it will be completed by the end of the year......."
Cheng Jia sat in the carriage, leaning on the soft pillow and listening to Xiao Si chattering all the way, and he didn't feel bored.
He always spoke in such a low tone that it sounded like a storyteller.
Bewitching.
