Chapter 561: Food
With such great ability as the cloak man, it is impossible for him to be an unknown person, and if he wants to investigate, it is not without clues.
They pondered all the way, and in less than a day, they arrived in Songjiang Mansion. Fortunately, the road was smooth and there was no danger.
Guo Wenying remembered which book she had seen before, Songjiang Mansion, Ming Zhili Nanjing. In the twenty-first year of Jiajing, Huating, Shanghai two counties, Qingpu County, three counties, and the national dynasty was subordinate to the political envoy of Jiangnan.
It is 160 miles from east to west, 152 miles from north to south, 100 miles from the sea to the east, and boundless from the sea; 60 miles from Changzhou County of Suzhou Prefecture to the west, 120 miles to Wujiang County, 72 miles to Jinshanwei in the south, and 80 miles to the north bank of Wusong River in Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture. It is 130 miles to Kunshan County, 100 miles to Qingcun Qianhusuo in the southeast, 120 miles to Jiaxing Prefecture in the southwest, 130 li to Jiading County in Suzhou Prefecture in the northeast, 180 li to Suzhou Prefecture in the northwest, 3,820 li from Fuzhi to Jingshi, and 800 li to Nanjing.
However, this is recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and she really hasn't been to Songjiang Mansion, but it's probably not much different.
They entered the city from the south gate, Guo Wenying meant to go to Songjiang Mansion first, she did her official business, and asked Feng Jingting to go back to Kyoto immediately.
He has been out for a long time, and if it is discovered that the emperor is not in the capital, he is afraid that there will be chaos again.
Feng Jingting was very displeased when he heard her words, and said, "Are you so eager for your master to leave?"
Looking at his eyes, Guo Wenying knew that he had made another mistake in his cautious eyes, and smiled falsely, "Where can this be, I am rare and rare, I can't come here, I have been with me for a few days, Wen Ying is not to mention how happy she is." ”
What she said was not coaxing words, after all, Feng Jingting took good care of her, and if he hadn't protected her along the way, she would have died in Lincheng County a long time ago.
Feng Jingting also knew that he had been out for a long time, and if he didn't return to Beijing, he couldn't prepare for anything, so he stopped pushing her around, and only said: "You have to be careful in Songjiang Mansion, and when you finish this errand, go back to Beijing." And we are not very peaceful on this road, even if you want to go back to Fuzhou, you have to pay special attention, as for who did it, I will also ask someone to investigate. ”
Guo Wenying nodded in response, and inevitably was instructed by him two more words, and the two separated.
Guo Wenying wanted Lu Weixin to send the emperor back to Beijing, Feng Jingting said that he didn't agree with anything, compared to himself, he was more worried about Guo Wenying's danger, although this girl was calm, but her skills were really not good, if there was no master to escort him, he was really not at ease.
In the end, they discussed coming and going, and only called some guards to escort the emperor back to Beijing, and the rest led by Lu Weixin stayed in Songjiang to wait for Guo Wenying's dispatch.
After sending the emperor away, Guo Wenying took Lu Weixin into the city. She didn't want to go to Songjiang Mansion to meet those local officials so early, and she didn't rush to let people deliver letters, so she only took Lu Weixin, Yunmo, and Hongxiang to walk around the street. The guards who accompanied them remained outside the city and set up camp.
Although Lu Weixin brought only a thousand people, there were also regulations in various places, and the army could not enter and leave the city at will without the will of the imperial court or the transfer order from the military department. These people were temporarily transferred by him, and they didn't have warrants or anything like that, but they couldn't act at will. But fortunately, Guo Wenying is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and she is the minister of the Qincha, with her in front of her, there will never be any chaos.
It's just that her identity has not been revealed at present, and it is true that these soldiers are inconvenient to move at will.
Seven or eight of them didn't make a carriage, but walked slowly through the streets.
The long street was full of cars and horses, and the flow of people was like weaving, and the penetrating shouts of the vendors could be faintly heard not far away, occasionally mixed with one or two long neighing horses. The streets are lined with shops, and the sunlight faintly shines on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of antiquity to the prosperous scenery in front of you.
"Selling dragon jujube rolls, sugar noodle seats, white sugar big hair cakes!"
"The herbal tea is really delicious, and the green silk rose and white sugar are too much, come and buy them." Osmanthus flavored!"
The hawker's shouting clearly rushed into the eardrums, making people feel that they were not dreaming in a trance. From the rapid and dangerous mountains and dense forests, it is really uncomfortable to return to this lively street market.
Although Hongxiang is not young, she still has a bit of girlish innocence, so she bought two pieces of white sugar cake, one for Guo Wenying, and one for herself. It's still a hot white sugar cake, and it feels warm in your hand.
"Miss, eat quickly, it's really delicious. Hongxiang smiled, already took a bite of the boss, and praised while chewing: "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”
Guo Wenying didn't want to eat it, where was her identity, more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at her, and it was not good to hold a piece of cake and chew there, which was really bad for her image. However, the moment she started the white sugar cake, it also aroused her interest, and she also took a bite like the red fragrance.
She was still a little more leisurely, and she didn't dare to bite too much, but after taking a bite, she really felt delicious, and she couldn't help but eat one bite after another.
The two of them were holding a piece of white sugar cake in their hands, walking and strolling, and laughter came from time to time, which was also delicious. In the eyes of others, I thought it was the young lady and the maid who were shopping for things, but in the eyes of those entourage, they felt very dazzling, in the end, it was the governor, is it really good-looking to wander around like this?
Lu Weixin watched from behind and couldn't help muttering, "Is it really that delicious?"
Yunmo next to him smiled: "Why don't you get a piece to try it too?"
Lu Weixin was a little hesitant, but in the end, he was not embarrassed to hold a piece of munch with them, and the girl didn't care, at most, she said, "Childlike innocence, very cute." "What's the matter with him being a big man?
He and Yunmo glanced at the stall of the white sugar cake at the same time, and then followed the two women as if nothing had happened. When the guards in the back saw it, they couldn't help but purse their lips and laugh, but no one dared to laugh.
Guo Wenying walked around the street for a while and ate a lot of special snacks from Songjiang Mansion. In modern Shanghai, it is an international metropolis, but at this time, Songjiang Mansion is only a third-class small city, which is slightly more modest than Fuzhou and other places.
In the past six months, Songjiang has set up a river and sea closure, and the trade has become more and more prosperous, and the people are still prosperous, but it is also much more lively than before. There are many special delicacies here, there are more than a dozen kinds of rice cakes alone, mint cakes, mung bean cakes, flower cakes, bee cakes, cypress cakes, fruit cakes, etc.
They felt tired after walking for a while, so they picked a small shop and sat down, and ordered some special snacks such as fried buns, rice rolls, crab shell yellow, pork ribs, rice cakes, and chicken porridge.
