Zhu Mansion. Portal.

Lin Xiaoyang and Leng Qing stood by the Pixiu stone screen inside the gate of the Zhu Mansion for about half a pillar of incense, and then saw Lu Xueyue holding a dark blue purse out of the weeping flower gate and trotting towards them.

"Young lady, Deputy Steward Lin said that the withdrawal of more than fifty taels of silver in the house must be signed by the lord to receive it, and now that the master is gone, the new head of the family is unconscious, so Deputy Steward Lin only took fifty taels of silver for the slave maid. Trotting all the way to Leng Qing and Lin Xiaoyang, Lu Xueyue said to Leng Qing while gasping for breath.

After that, Lu Xueyue hurriedly handed the bulging, dark blue purse with the word "Zhu" embroidered with gold thread in her hand to Leng Qing.

Glancing at the bulging dark blue purse in Lu Xueyue's hand, Leng Qing didn't reach out to pick it up.

Leng Qing only said lightly to Lu Xueyue: "You take the silver first! ”

"Yes. Lu Xueyue was not verbose, and stuffed her purse into her sleeve pocket while agreeing.

Helping the master lead the purse is one of the duties of the subordinate. Is it possible that when the master wants to buy something, he has to pay the bill with his own purse?

Seeing that Lu Xueyue had put away her purse, Leng Qing spoke again: "Let's go!"

After speaking, Leng Qing took the lead in turning the Pixiu stone screen and left, and Lin Xiaoyang and Lu Xueyue immediately followed.

Out of Zhu's Mansion, walking on the street, looking at the shops on the left and right, Leng Qing looked at Lu Xueyue, who was half a step behind her, and asked casually: "Xiaoyue, which street in Kyoto is the most prosperous?"

"We have a total of four bustling streets in Kyoto, which are in the four wards of southeast, east, west, and west, and the one in the center of Kyoto is the Imperial Palace Liang Xiao Castle. We are now on West Street in the West District, and the most prosperous street in the West End is at the intersection in front of us and turn right on South Street, because the East Street opposite is next to the Imperial Palace, and it is very deserted. Hearing Leng Qing ask her, Lu Xueyue hurriedly took half a step forward and walked to a position parallel to Leng Qing and told Leng Qing in detail.

Nodding, Leng Qing's words couldn't be heard: "Hmm." I got it, so let's go to South Street. ”

continued to walk forward for about half an hour, turned a corner, and Leng Qing saw the intersection not far away, Lu Xueyue's mouth.

Although West Street is not as lively as South Street, there are a lot of pedestrians, along the way, there are many people around staring at Leng Qing, even if it is the opposite of Leng Qing, they can't help but look back at Leng Qing when they go far away.

In modern times, Leng Qing has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, so he didn't see it at all and ignored it directly.

Leng Qing could still calmly ignore those gazes, but Lin Xiaoyang, who was one step behind Leng Qing, frowned a little unhappily.

When she walked to the end of West Street, Leng Qing glanced at the East Street opposite the intersection, and as far as she could see, except for some scattered stalls, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and it was indeed very deserted.

Looking further ahead, at the end of the distant street is a red wall more than ten meters high, with no end in sight on both sides, presumably the palace wall of Liang Xiaocheng.

Ancient dynasties had restrictions on the height of the house, and the main hall of the imperial palace was the highest, and the height was subtracted in turn. The houses of the common people are shorter than those of the ministers, and the Buddhist temples can also be built high, of course, the towers are not compared with ordinary residences.

The imperial power did not allow the house outside the palace walls to be able to peek inside the palace walls, and it was illegal for courtiers and commoners to build the house too high.

Therefore, no matter which street or pavilion you stand on and look inside the palace wall, you basically can't see the building, only the blue sky.

Now what Leng Qing's eyes reflected, behind the tall red palace wall, there was only the blue sky.

Before turning the corner, Leng Qing heard a noisy human voice.

When you turn the corner, you will see a lively and prosperous scene on South Street.

The streets are bustling with pedestrians, men, women, and children.

There are street stalls selling breakfast, vegetables, biographies, rouge gouache, fabrics, jewelry, purses, silk fans, it can be said that there is everything.

There are still a lot of people crowded in front of some stalls, some people really want to buy something, and some people just look at it.

Leng Qing thought that the things sold by the shops on both sides of the street with wide open doors should be similar to the things sold by the stalls, but the quality was definitely better than the stalls.

Leng Qing believes that there is no doubt about this whether it is in modern times or in ancient times.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there may be treasures in the stalls, but the probability is very small.

Although there are many vendors and shops on the West Street where Zhufu is located, there are not as many as this South Street, and even the pedestrians are not half of the South Street.

"Selling wonton lak...... Hot and delicious ravioli...... Wontons with thin skin and a lot of filling......" An old woman's voice slowly came into Leng Qing's ears.

Looking up at the wonton stall about five meters away, the corners of Leng Qing's mouth hooked up a light smile.

One of her favorite foods in modern times! The thin skin and melt-in-your-mouth texture make your mouth drool just thinking about it! Ahem......

Turning her head sideways, Leng Qing said to Lin Xiaoyang, who didn't know when she was walking side by side with her: "I got up early this morning, we haven't had breakfast yet, let's go eat a bowl of wontons together!"

When Lin Xiaoyang heard this, he subconsciously looked at the wonton stall, thinking about it carefully, he had only seen but never eaten that kind of thing all the way since he went down to Qinshan.

Lin Xiaoyang smiled and nodded: "Hmm." ”

In this way, the three of them walked towards the wonton stall in unison.

The wonton stall is owned by an elderly woman in her sixties, and the only thing in the stall is a square table next to the stall and four benches around the square table where customers can sit and eat wontons.

"Auntie, please bring us three bowls of wontons. Leng Qing walked to the stall and said to the old woman through the steaming pot.

Hearing this, the old woman raised her eyes and glanced at Leng Qing and the three of them, agreed with a smile, and went to cook wontons neatly.

"Young lady, slaves and maids are not hungry. Xu understood the meaning of Leng Qing's words, and Lu Xueyue whispered behind Leng Qing.

Since ancient times, how can there be a reason for slaves and maids to eat at the same table with their masters? If this is known to the housekeeper and mother-in-law, she will definitely be reprimanded by a good student, and may even be punished! Lu Xueyue felt frightened just thinking about it.

"You've been with me since you got up, I'm going to be hungry, how can you not be hungry?" glanced back at Lu Xueyue, who lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and smiled coldly, with a questioning sentence and an affirmative tone.

After that, Leng Qing no longer paid attention to Lu Xueyue.

Seeing that Leng Qing and the three of them had been standing in front of the stall, the old woman beckoned Leng Qing and the three of them to sit at the square table next to them while cooking the wontons, saying that the wontons would be fine for a while, and when they were cooked, they would be brought to the table.

Leng Qing walked towards the old square table as she said, Lin Xiaoyang was second, and Lu Xueyue was last.

Sitting on the bench next to the table, Leng Qing glanced at the large porcelain bowl on the table.

There are more than a dozen porcelain spoons in the porcelain bowl, but the porcelain spoon has been used for many years, and it has long lost the color that the porcelain spoon should have.

Without the slightest hesitation, Leng Qing said to Lu Xueyue, who was standing beside her: "Xiaoyue, go and see if there is a shop selling porcelain spoons around here, and go and help me buy three porcelain spoons and come back." ”

Lu Xueyue was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then said "yes" and left to find a shop selling porcelain spoons.

Lu Xueyue wondered, why bother to buy porcelain spoons when there was a big handful of porcelain spoons on the table?

Lin Xiaoyang didn't understand why Leng Qing asked Lu Xueyue to buy a porcelain spoon, so he asked, "Second sister-in-law, why do you want to buy a porcelain spoon?

Lin Xiaoyang said, and reached out to get the porcelain spoon from the dishwashing on the table.

deliberately lowered his voice, and Leng Qing lightly spit out a word: "Dirty." ”

Lin Xiaoyang had already picked up a porcelain spoon, and after hearing Leng Qing's words, Lin Xiaoyang took the right hand of the porcelain spoon in the air for a moment, and then, I saw Lin Xiaoyang silently put the porcelain spoon back into the porcelain bowl......

When the three bowls of wontons were served, Lu Xueyue, who was sent by Leng Qing to buy porcelain spoons, also came back with three new porcelain spoons.

took the porcelain spoon handed over by Lu Xueyue, and Leng Qing ate the wontons elegantly, Lin Xiaoyang was like this.

Lu Xueyue stood behind Leng Qing, holding the remaining porcelain spoon in her hand and didn't know what to do.

Although the young lady said that she would give her a bowl at the beginning, the young lady did not say whether to let her eat it or not, so whether she would eat it or not......

After eating a wonton with hot air, Leng Qing finally sensed that something was wrong.

Turning her head and looking at Lu Xueyue, who was standing behind her stupidly, Leng Qing frowned slightly: "Why are you still standing, you can eat it too! ”

"Yes. Lu Xueyue agreed softly.

Just when Leng Qing just stretched her brows, she saw Lu Xueyue directly reach out to the bowl of wontons on the table, but she was decisively burned and almost fell off the bowl.

Seeing this, Leng Qing was really a little unhappy, and said to Lu Xueyue in a commanding tone: "Sit down and eat." ”

Lu Xueyue was terrified: "Young lady, it is already a great favor for you to let the slave maid eat wontons, how can the slave and maid eat at the same table with you again! ”

Hearing this, Leng Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes. This silly girl!

Putting down the porcelain spoon in her hand, Leng Qing reached out and pulled Lu Xueyue to sit down on the bench beside her, and said sternly: "If I let you sit and eat, you can sit and eat, I am your master, listen to me." ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey. "The master's order can't be disobeyed, Lu Xueyue can't, so she has to agree.

Lu Xueyue didn't dare to be too presumptuous after all, two palm-wide benches, Lu Xueyue only sat in a palm-wide position, not so much sitting, but half squatting.

This way of sitting is even more tiring than standing!

Looking at Lu Xueyue's expression, Leng Qing shook her head helplessly, but she didn't say anything anymore, and only ate her wontons quietly.

Leng Qing knew that this kind of class concept of master and slave had long been ingrained in the minds of these ancients, and it could not be changed overnight, if Lu Xueyue wanted to accept her thoughts, she had to take her time, if she was in a hurry, it would be easy to backfire.
