Chapter 45 Chrysanthemum Appreciation 3

The sun is at noon, the sun is shining, and the sky is clear. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThousands of miles in the sky, white clouds are ethereal. At a glance, the sky is full of clouds like pure white cotton wool, each cloud floats extremely high, and the shape is different, which makes people think about it.

Tiancheng Continent Southland. Origi country Kyoto Crepe Flat. Cheng. Secluded Pavilion.

On a meadow surrounded by deep forests, Liang Shengxiao, who was holding a simple ball head, holding a pink jade plum blossom in his hair, wearing a bright red Liuxian skirt, and his black hair was high, wearing a blue-gray long Confucian shirt, stepping on blue-gray soap boots, and holding a bamboo Xiao Liang Shengxiao stood opposite each other.

In the quiet space, Wen Liang Shengxiao smiled and said to Leng Qing: "Miss Leng is not a citizen of the Great Liang Kingdom, no wonder Miss Leng doesn't know." In Daliang country, the Double Ninth Festival is not only a festival for relatives and friends to travel, climb high and look far, drink and enjoy chrysanthemums, but also a festival for young men and women to express their affection.

During the Chung Yeung Festival, the young women of Daliang Kingdom would pick dogwoods by hand to make dogwood sachets or flowers, and hide a place name and date in the sachet or flowers. On Chung Yeung Festival, women travel together, and if there is a man they like, they will give the man a sachet or flower they have made by themselves.

If the man who receives the sachet or flower also likes the woman, he will go to the designated place according to the name and date of the place contained in the sachet or flower. In this way, most of those men and women will make a lifelong decision, and men will marry women. Therefore, in the country of Daliang, the sachets and flowers that were given on the day of the Double Ninth Festival have the meaning of conveying affection. ”

Hearing this, Leng Qing pursed her lips and smiled, and said with a mocking smile: "Hmm...... In this way, Liang Gongzi's market is very good! So many girls are rushing to send sachets and flowers to Liang Gongzi!"

Liang Shengxiao, who was standing opposite Leng Qing, heard this, her face turned slightly red, and she shook her head at Leng Qing very embarrassed and smiled: "Miss Leng don't tease her." In the next but the parents were fortunate to give birth to a good skin, however, except for this bamboo Xiao, in the next is actually no long things, not worthy of those women to rush to. ”

On this side, Leng Qing completely ignored Liang Shengxiao's self-humble smile, but continued to ask Liang Shengxiao with a smile: "There are so many girls, and none of Liang Gongzi fancy them?"

Liang Shengxiao, who was standing opposite Leng Qing, was stunned when she heard this, and responded with a little embarrassment and apology: "Hmm...... At that time, I was surrounded by everyone, and I felt that I was in prison, and where did I have the time and mood to take a closer look...... And at that time, I found that Miss Leng was gone, so I only cared about looking for Miss Leng, so I ......"

On this side, as Liang Shengxiao's words fell, Leng Qing sighed with pity: "Alas! The falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless! Although Leng Qing said that she was feeling pity with emotion, but looking at Leng Qing's smiling appearance, she really couldn't see that Leng Qing was sincere, but there was some schadenfreude.

And on that side, in the face of Leng Qing's sense of schadenfreude, Liang Shengxiao, who was standing opposite Leng Qing, opened his mouth, although his face was still smiling, his tone was very helpless and called: "Leng girl......"

Without waiting for Liang Shengxiao's voice to disperse, Leng Qing answered with a smile: "I know, don't tease Liang Gongzi." Let's get these things out quickly, lest they find them later, and Liang Gongzi will be in trouble. ”

So, Leng Qing and Liang Shengxiao started together, and hung the pile of pink dogwood sachets and dogwoods and chrysanthemums made of various colored threads on the surrounding branches one by one.

After finishing the pile of pink dogwood sachets and dogwoods and chrysanthemums made of various colored threads, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing left the secluded pavilion side by side.

Because it was already noon, it was time for lunch, but Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing didn't have any money on them, so after leaving the Secluded Pavilion, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing wanted to return to the prince's mansion by the same way.

However, when passing by a pawnshop on the way back, Liang Shengxiao suddenly whispered to Leng Qing: "Miss Leng, wait for the next one." After saying this, Liang Shengxiao turned around and entered the pawnshop.

Under the bright sun, on the street where people came and went, seeing Liang Shengxiao's figure disappear into the pawnshop like this, Leng Qing's face was full of confusion.

Not long after, Liang Shengxiao, who was holding a bamboo Xiao, came out of the pawnshop with a smile on his face.

After Liang Shengxiao walked in front of her, looking at the bulging blue money bag in Liang Shengxiao's hand, Leng Qing smiled knowingly, and asked, "What did Liang Gongzi do?"

Chao Lengqing smiled slightly, Liang Shengxiao's thin lips opened slightly, and spit out a concise sentence: "The white jade plaque in the Hidden Fence Pavilion." ”

Leng Qing was stunned when she heard this, and asked in a loud tone, "Uh...... How much money did you make?"

The pawnshop shopkeeper said that the white jade card was a medium white jade, and it cost fifty taels. Regarding Leng Qing's inquiry, Liang Shengxiao answered without concealment, and he was simply blunt.

After listening to Liang Shengxiao's answer, Leng Qing said thoughtfully: "The jade quality of that white jade brand is indeed not very good, and fifty taels is not a loss." It's just that it was a souvenir given by someone else, and Liang Gongzi seemed to be ...... like that."

On that side, seeing that Liang Shengxiao smiled at Leng Qing with a gentle face, he took Leng Qing's words with a reassuring tone: "Miss Leng, don't worry, it is a fixed living deed, and it is agreed to redeem it at the end of the month." At that time, you only need to pay an extra 100 lines of interest to redeem it. ”

"Hmm...... Why did Liang Gongzi pawn that white jade card, was he in a hurry to use the money?" Leng Qing suddenly asked.

On that side, Liang Shengxiao shook his head at Leng Qing with a gentle face, and replied with a smile on his lips: "It's not that we need money urgently, it's just that it's noon right now, and it's time for lunch. ”

On this side, looking at Liang Shengxiao, Leng Qing opened her mouth and asked, "Don't you go back...... Do you want to eat?"

After the previous commotion, Leng Qing's vigilance in her heart relaxed a lot, so that Leng Qing was careless for a while, and the dangerous and dangerous sentence "Prince's Mansion" almost blurted out of Leng Qing's mouth. Fortunately, Leng Qing woke up in time and stopped the conversation, and changed the conversation very quickly, without causing any mistakes.

On that side, Liang Shengxiao did not say anything about Leng Qing's almost speechless behavior, but continued to shake his head and smile: "It's hard to come out to play, now that we have silver, let's eat outside." Besides, even if we go back at this hour, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the food in the house. And at night there will be a river lantern on the side of the moat, we have lunch, and then go to the street to stroll, and then at night we will also go to the moat to put a lamp, okay?"

“…… Good. Faced with Liang Shengxiao's smiling and gentle questioning, Leng Qing was silent, but finally agreed.

After receiving Leng Qing's promise, Liang Shengxiao smiled again and said: "In the past, when I had not left Beijing, the East Street in the South District of Xuanping was a famous food street in the capital. There was a restaurant on that street that made delicious food, and I had the pleasure of going with my eldest brother to taste it once, and the chef there cooked better food than the imperial chef in the palace. ”

Because there were a lot of pedestrians around, when he said the words "Imperial Chef in the Palace", Liang Shengxiao lowered his voice a lot, so low that even Leng Qing couldn't hear what Liang Shengxiao was saying.

As soon as the words turned, Liang Shengxiao, who suddenly heard the smile on his face, sighed and said: "It's just that I don't know if the restaurant is still ...... ten years later."

"Wouldn't you know if you went and saw it?" replied to Liang Shengxiao's smiling words.

On that side, Liang Shengxiao heard this, and looked at Leng Qing for a moment, and finally, but saw Liang Shengxiao nodding at Leng Qing with a smile: "Okay." ”

So, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing turned around and walked in the opposite direction to the prince's mansion.

Under the dazzling sun, walking side by side with Leng Qing on the crowded street, Liang Shengxiao suddenly handed the blue money bag in his hand to Leng Qing.

When Leng Qing looked sideways at Liang Shengxiao with inquiring eyes, Liang Shengxiao smiled and said to Leng Qing in a warm voice: "Please help Miss Leng keep this silver for the time being." I have never paid much attention to these external objects, and if they are accidentally dropped or stolen, this meal will not be eaten. ”

On this side, Leng Qing did not answer Liang Shengxiao's words, and after staring at Liang Shengxiao silently for a few seconds, Leng Qing raised her hand to take the blue money bag in Liang Shengxiao's hand and put it in her own sleeve pocket.

Leng Qing and Liang Shengxiao were originally on the South Street in the East District of Creping City, not far from the East Street in the South District of Jianping City, and they walked on foot, and they walked in about half an hour.

At the end of noon, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing finally stopped in front of a restaurant on East Street in the South District.

Standing in front of Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing is a two-story restaurant with a banner with the words "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" hanging on one side of the columnar fence on the second floor, and a black-on-background Zhuzi plaque with the same "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" on the lintel hanging above the lintel.

The plaque seems to be newly described, and the words "Xiangxiao Water Cloud" are bright red and eye-catching. But looking at the old appearance of the flag exposed to the bright sun, I am afraid that it has been exposed to the wind and sun for more than ten years.

On this side, looking up at the flag hanging on the side of the columnar fence on the second floor of the restaurant, Liang Shengxiao said with emotion: "Ten years have passed, and the world has long been a matter of people, and this restaurant has not changed at all. ”

On the other hand, compared to Liang Shengxiao's emotion, Leng Qing looked thoughtfully at the flag hanging on the side of the columnar fence on the second floor of the restaurant.

When Leng Qing was still in Zhu's Mansion before, when Zhu Zimo fell ill due to Liu Ruyun's death, Leng Qing was "ordered to be in danger" to take care of Zhu Zimo's property in Creping City for a few days instead of Zhu Zimo.

If Leng Qing remembers well, this restaurant called "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" is one of the properties in Xuanping City under Zhu Zimo's name......

Leng Qing still remembers that there was something wrong with the business of this restaurant called "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" at that time, saying that a customer ate something worm in a dish of "Xiangxiao Shuiyun".

Because "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" is an old restaurant that has been operating in the city for more than ten years, most of the people who eat at "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" are old customers, and the guest who is said to have eaten insects in the dish is the old customer of "Xiangxiao Shuiyun".

Since he is an old customer, he is still an old customer for several years, so after the incident, the boss of "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" came forward to compensate the old customer for a table of meals, and compensated the old customer for a large amount of medical expenses, thinking that this matter would be revealed.

Who would have thought that within two days of that old customer going home, people would be dead. Within ten days, the man was dead at home.

So the family of the old customer came to "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" to make trouble, saying that the dishes of "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" ate people to death, and asked "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" to lose money and a lot of money.

When "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" came out of this incident, it happened that Zhu Zimo had just woken up. However, the crepe doctor said that although Zhu Zimo woke up, he still needed to recuperate, otherwise it would be very easy to lay the root of Zhu Zimo's illness in the future.

Because of Dr. Crepe's words, Lin Zhiwu didn't dare to bother Zhu Zimo with this kind of trouble. But this matter is very serious, and Lin Zhiwu is not easy to deal with by himself, so he found Leng Qing, who was holding the title of "Young Lady Zhu" at that time, and let Leng Qing take the idea.

From Lin Zhiwu, Leng Qing learned that the old customer of "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" ate the dish of insects, which was actually just a vegetarian stir-fried mustard vegetable that is very common in Daliang in spring.

Basically, in spring and March every year, the people of Daliang will dig mustard greens all over the mountains. Some people dig mustard greens to take home and cook their own food, while others dig mustard greens to sell to restaurants, such as "Xiangxiao Shuiyun".

Because mustard greens are wild vegetables with tenacious vitality, they are extremely difficult to give birth to insects, and even if there are occasional worms, it is impossible to eat dead people. Like the heartworms that grow on cruciferous crops such as rape, cabbage, cabbage, cauliflower, radish, and cauliflower, as well as green worms and bean worms, can these insects eat dead people?

In the 21st century, human beings can even make grasshoppers, ants, caterpillars, centipedes, cockroaches, crickets, dragonflies and other insects into a variety of delicacies, so the question of whether the insects born on the vegetables will eat the dead...... The answer is obvious.

And Leng Qing, as an emerging human in the 21st century, although Leng Qing has not tried those heterogeneous delicacies made with various insects, Leng Qing has always believed that normal insects born on green vegetables can eat dead people.

Therefore, after listening to Lin Zhiwu's report at that time, especially when I heard Lin Zhiwu say that the family of the old customer of "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" asked "Xiangxiao Shuiyun" to compensate a large amount of money, Leng Qing immediately noticed that there was something in this matter of "Xiangxiao Shuiyun"-

"The food of 'Xiangxiao Shuiyun' ate people to death" is the same as the death of a hospital doctor. No matter what the ultimate goal of the patient's family is, they must first shout two sentences of "killing to pay for life" before talking about the following things.

And how can someone eat out and die, his family only goes to the restaurant to ask for compensation, but they don't even shout two symbolic words like "killing to pay for life", only asking for money?

This kind of thing, how weird it sounds!
