readx;? Outside the teahouse, the rain was not very heavy, hitting the clean stone steps, and there was a rhythmic broken sound. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The rain silk is not woven like a rain curtain like the summer rain.

Winter rains have always been heavy.

The cold silence of the forest shrouded Suzaku Street, and the cold wind danced and the rain was shaking.

However, inside the Babao Teahouse, the situation is different.

Mao Anyi accompanied Zhan Xiaoyi to the banquet. As soon as he entered the courtyard of the teahouse, he felt a long-lost warmth. At this time, Mao Anyi's house also burned a charcoal stove, but the fiery feeling always made the people dry and drowsy.

The fire of Babao Tea House tonight is warm and comfortable, making people feel like they are in the spring light, and their mood is calm and relaxed.

He looked around and found that on the four corners of the courtyard, there was a black glazed porcelain smoker in the shape of a turtle and a fairy mountain.

A few wisps of green smoke rose up, and when I smelled it carefully, there was a faint scent of sandalwood.

When Mao Anyi went to Zhan Xiaoyi to talk about things, he also observed the furnishings in his house - the lion rolling hydrangea stove with fine copper and gold plating, in addition to the charcoal strips, red sandalwood and agarwood were added, and the fire must be crackling, and the whole hall needs to be as hot as midsummer. I don't know if it's the habit of the Liao people or Zhan Xiaoyi's preference.

Compared with the elegance of the mountains and water in front of him, Mao Anyi shook his head, only feeling superior.

The fur of a thousand golds is not the armpit of a fox, and the pavilion is not a branch of a tree.

Elegant and extravagant, it's really not something that can be piled up with money.

Mao An Yixin said, it must be a family like An Guohou, or a noble man like the Third Highness, who has been carefully cultivated by several generations, since he was a child, he has seen the most beautiful and exquisite things in the world, he has money and leisure, and he is famous for drinking and playing. In this way, we can abandon those flashy appearances and integrate the most extreme luxury into the ordinary.

And a rich man like him, or Zhan Xiaoyi, even if he has gold and silver, he can't learn how to squander. At most, it is just wearing gold and silver, wine pond and meat forest, sometimes vassal elegance, and complacent, like the farmer like the frog in the well, fantasizing about whether the emperor's hoe is golden, and whether the queen's mother wants to eat ten baked cakes after finishing the farm work, in vain to increase the laughter.

Mao An sighed without a trace.

Zhan Xiaoyi, who was walking in front of him, didn't think about it so much, and saw that Le Lin and Chai Jue seemed to have a lot of complaints about their outfits, so they didn't get annoyed, and walked towards the two of them in a big stride.

Shi Chang on the side had a sad face, and he stepped forward to introduce Le Lin: "The owner, this is Master Zhan." ”

Le Lin was also a little surprised, she didn't expect this "Master Zhan" to be so young, and arched her hand and said, "Master Zhan, fortunately." ”

Zhan Xiaoyi also returned the salute: "Marquis Anguo, I have admired the name for a long time." ”

He looked at Chai Jue next to him carefully, more serious than looking at Le Lin, and after a while, he arched his hand to Chai Jue and said, "Third Highness, I am glad to meet." ”

The Third Highness Chai Jue and "Anguo Hou Lelang" are often inseparable, which is a well-known thing among high-ranking officials and nobles. Chai Jue was not surprised that Zhan Xiaoyi guessed his identity, and said expressionlessly: "Fortunately." ”

Zhan Xiaoyi was treated coldly by Chai Jue and was not discouraged.

He pointed to his shirt and smiled and asked, "Are you talking about my outfit?"

Le Lin couldn't imagine that he was so straightforward, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

And Chai Jue suddenly felt ashamed - don't talk about people anymore, not to mention that she whispers in front of others, and then laughs loudly, a full long-tongued woman.

He blushed and clenched his fists and said, "Master Zhan, please forgive me." ”

Zhan Xiaoyi laughed loudly and said: "Let the Third Highness laugh, it's Zhan's right." ”

Seeing his hearty personality, Le Lin couldn't help but feel a little more good, and also joked: "Master Zhan's dress, although it is glamorous and gorgeous, it is too dazzling." ”

"Hahahaha!"

Zhan Xiaoyi saw that "Le Lang" was not a rigid person, and he was also happy, so he stroked his palms and laughed: "An Guohou, be quick and fast!"

He thought about it, sighed, and said: "The Marquis of Anguo's Mansion is a family in Bianjing, and His Royal Highness is a noble person in the palace, so he can dress in a low-key manner. But I, Zhan, am just a merchant in Bianjing City, if I don't dress up so flamboyantly, who will buy those people who look down on people with dogs' eyes?"

When Le Lin heard this, she was both ashamed and admired.

I am ashamed that I am like the Emperor Jin Hui who "why not eat minced meat", and he makes vain comments on other people's dresses based on his personal impression.

What I admire is Zhan Xiaoyi's calmness and open-mindedness.

She couldn't help but think of the plot in "Lu Xiaofeng", where Lu Xiaofeng saw Huo Xiu for the first time.

At that time, Lu Xiaofeng was wearing a delicate and gorgeous brocade dress.

Huo Xiu is the richest man in this novel - "The one with the most real estate is the Jiangnan Hua family, and the one with the most jewelry is the Yan family in Guanzhong, but the real richest person is only Huo Xiu."

He was wearing ordinary cloth clothes.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the bright red cloak on his body, and then looked at the old clothes on Huo Xiu's body that had been washed white, and couldn't help but smile: "When I have so many belongings of yours, I will also wear clothes like you." ’

"Huo Xiu said, 'Oh?'

Lu Xiaofeng said: "This kind of clothes are only worthy of a rich man like you, and I am not worthy of it." ’

Huo Xiu said: 'Why?'

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because if a person is really rich, it doesn't matter what clothes he wears. ”

Thinking back to the present, Le Lin smiled at Zhan Xiaoyi and said: "What Master Zhan said is very true, wearing golden jade clothes, but I am tired of the world, if I can become the richest man in Bianjing City one day, how comfortable and how to wear it." ”

She thought for a moment and joked, "By that time, I will have to wear the same old white-washed garment every day." ”

Chai Jue was half-puzzled, and said confusedly: "Oh?

Zhan Xiaoyi has a heart: "Because you are rich to that level, it doesn't matter how you wear it." ”

"Exactly, exactly. ”

"Hahahaha!"

For a while, the three of them laughed and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Le Lin looked at the copper kettle dripping on the side, and asked Zhan Xiaoyi: "There is still half an hour before entering the table." Just now, His Royal Highness proposed to go to the kitchen to have a look, and Master Zhan would like to go with him?"

Zhan Xiaoyi was curious: "What's so nice in the kitchen?"

He was suspicious, didn't the Song people pay attention to what "gentlemen cook far away"?

Chai Jue replied to him with a little embarrassment: "Actually, we want to try it first." ”

"It's you, not us. Lelin corrected him.

Chai Jue, who was exposed, was not annoyed, nodded frankly, and said with a smile: "The recipe was written by An Guohou himself, and the ancestral dishes of An Guohou's Mansion have always been unique, so ......"

"Oh?" Zhan Xiaoyi shrugged his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Is it the ancestral dish of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion?"

"Hmm. ”

"That ......" Zhan Xiaoyi asked like a few treasures: Babao Teahouse's dry steamed siu mai, shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork buns, quicksand buns, steamed pork ribs with taro, steamed phoenix feet with soy sauce, money tripe, beef shutters...... These are the ancestral heirlooms of your house?"

Le Lin bowed her head and said with a smile: "Thanks to Master Zhan for remembering the dishes of the Teahouse." ”

Zhan Xiaoyi shouted for no reason: "Quick!"

"What?"

"Take me to the kitchen!"
