Chapter 19: Madame

He felt funny when he saw her awkward appearance in his arms, the whole person was motionless in his arms, her big eyes blinked pitifully, she reached out and pinched her waist, her whole body palpitated, and her body was even more tense.

With a crying voice; "陛xià."

The voice was soft, and Qi Jinghuan, who listened to it, pretended not to know and said; "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, can you let the slave and maid come down?"

Shen Youan felt that this atmosphere was too weird, how could he and His Majesty do it, hey, this thing is really hard to say, how can he lie in His Majesty's arms? Thinking about it, I feel ashamed and angry, why is it that I have a good girl's family, why do I lie shamelessly in His Majesty's arms and don't refuse?

Qi Jinghuan watched her face slowly change in his arms, his eyes were moist, as if he was about to cry, and said busily; "Yes."

Hey, why is it so easy to talk this time, she threw herself in his arms for a long time and didn't see him put her down.

Qi Jinghuan helped her to get up in her arms, she sat down, and then felt that the carriage gradually stopped, and glanced at Qi Jinghuan suspiciously, Qi Jinghuan chuckled; "It's not too early, go get something to eat."

She said that why she was so good at talking this time, and her feelings were calculated.

Gao He opened the curtain in front, Shen Youan helped Cai Xuan's men down, and Gao He also helped Qi Jinghuan down.

This is one of the most prosperous streets in Yudu, although there are many people on the street, but fortunately, the street is spacious enough, and it is not so crowded, Gao He led into the restaurant in front, and immediately the young man who ran the hall ran over, and I don't know what Gao He said, the person who ran the hall immediately accompanied the smiling face to guide a few people upstairs.

This restaurant is called Shun'an Building, it is one of the three major restaurants in Yudu, the dishes are exquisite, but ordinary people can't afford to eat the dishes here, and they are either dignitaries and nobles who come in and out of here, or rich businessmen, as long as they have money, they are all uncles, but what are the specific dishes here, Shen Youan has never eaten, she used to eat outside things at home, and occasionally went out to participate in banquets just for show, and there were few things to eat.

With the guy running to a private room on the second floor, the window of this private room happens to be facing the street, through the window you can see the scene on the street, there is a yellow rosewood carved table in the window, a few square stools are placed around the table, and a carved fine wooden chaise longue is placed in the room, and two ten-spiced raccoon flower soft pillows are placed on the couch, separated by a red sandalwood embroidered flower and bird screen, for the guests to take a break after eating and drinking.

Qi Jinghuan walked to the table and sat down, Shen Youan followed Cai Xuan and Gao He to the back, Qi Jinghuan snorted slightly, his eyes were dyed with a trace of displeasure, Gao He hurriedly asked Shen Youan to sit down, Shen Youan didn't dare, or Qi Jinghuan opened her mouth to let her sit, she sat opposite Qi Jinghuan tremblingly.

This location near the window not only can see the scene below, but even the sound below can be heard clearly, ordinary people want a quiet environment for dinner, they will not choose this position, as if they know what she thinks in her heart, Qi Jinghuan said; "Occasionally go out of the palace, eat in this kind of place, and also observe the people's feelings by the way, you don't know, this location, but you can see a lot of interesting things."

Shen You'an heard him say this, and stretched out his head to look down, the men and women walked around, the small vendors on both sides of the street shouted, selling jewelry, selling cloth, selling clay figures, and the one carrying a stick full of sugar gourds walking around the street selling sugar gourds.

Shen Youan thought it was interesting, although she had come out on weekdays, she hadn't seen these carefully, on a whim, plus outside the palace, attracted by these things, she immediately forgot that it was His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting opposite, holding her chin with her hand to look at the small traders and pedestrians who used to buy things, and the woman with the basket touched the things she wanted but didn't buy them, she stood there and talked about what she talked about for a long time, and finally put down the things and walked far away, and the small traders still chased after them with things.

She smiled unconsciously, and the shallow pear vortices on both sides hung on her cheeks.

She propped her chin to look at the bottom, Qi Jinghuan also tilted her head to look at her, seeing that she was happy, she was also happy in her heart, in the end, there was a time when she could reveal her true nature, she was a famous and noble girl, pampered since childhood, these things have not seen much, even if she has seen or observed the words and deeds of the people, in the end, she is young, and her youngest daughter's family is easily attracted by these things.

Shen You'an's eyes were immediately attracted by the old man who kneaded the clay figure underneath, she saw that the old man took the clay man's mud in his hand and made a clay figure in two clicks, and she didn't see how to get it, she felt that this craft was much more exquisite than many palace people in the palace.

Qi Jinghuan originally saw her eyes glancing, but her eyes were staring at one place and didn't move, and she looked at her gaze and turned her head to signal Gao He slightly, Gao He immediately understood, and turned around and walked out of the room.

Shen Youan looked at the pinching of the clay figure several times and didn't see how he pinched it clearly, and suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in front of the clay man, and after a closer look, it was actually Gao He, and when he looked up, he didn't see Gao He's figure in the room.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Manager Gao?"

Qi Jinghuan smiled meaningfully; "Naturally, I let him go."

Shen Youan smiled awkwardly, and turned his face to look at the clay man who was in charge of the twelve eunuchs next to His Majesty on weekdays, how to look at it and how to think it was funny.

Qi Jinghuan looked at her dotingly and said; "Let's eat something first, the stall won't be closed until evening."

I don't know when, the table was already full of dishes, Cai Xuan stepped forward to give Qi Jinghuan a step, Qi Jinghuan waved his hand; "Go and give the young girl a dish, she's shy."

Shen Youan's face suddenly blushed, and he lowered his face, eager to stick his face on the plate.

"Childe, the clay figure is here."

Gao He shouted in his mouth when he entered the door, holding two clay figurines and smiling like flowers.

Somehow, Qi Jinghuan subconsciously answered; "You take it first, and then give it to her when Madame finishes eating."

"Ma'am."

Gao He was stunned for a moment, then reacted, ran behind Shen You'an, held the two clay figures, and said as if offering treasures; "Madame will eat first, and the slave will give you the clay figurine."

The nerves of the master and servant in front of him seemed to be deranged, so Shen Youan really couldn't bear it, and got up tremblingly; "陛xià."

"Shh

Qi Jinghuan stretched out his index finger and gestured to his lips; "If you want to call your son outside, or your wife can call your husband directly."

Shen Youan's face was stiff; "Father-in-law."

Qi Jinghuan frowned slightly, and Cai Xuan bowed to Shen You'an; "Madame, please sit down and eat, and the slave will give you food."

Shen Youan glanced back at Cai Xuan in surprise, then pursed his lips and sat down; "I don't need to step into the dishes, I'll just come by myself."

A smug glint flashed in Qi Jinghuan's eyes.

After eating, Gao He called someone to remove the dishes, exchanged a few plates of snacks and a pot of tea, Shen Youan turned the clay figurine handed to her by Gao He in her hand and looked at it for a while, and cast a grateful look at Qi Jinghuan; "Thank you, Childe."

In the face of this kind of undisguised worship of the girl's family, Qi Jinghuan unconsciously sat up straight, Gao He stood bitterly on the side, touched his nose, and said in his heart, what is the matter with His Majesty, this clay figure is pinched by a clay man, he is the one who runs errands, and it is His Majesty who gets cheap in the end, hey, according to His Majesty's temperament, this time he is asked to run errands to buy a clay figure, and next time he is not sure what to do in order to make the beauty happy.

Suddenly, there was a drum beating from the bottom, and four government soldiers wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers came to clear the road, and the pedestrians on the road gave way to both sides, followed by a team of people and horses, and in the middle was a sedan chair carried by ten people, looking at the guard of honor, it was the convoy of Song Taifu.

Qi Jinghuan picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip of tea.

When the motorcade below happened to pass by, a young man dressed in gray clothes and dressed as a scholar suddenly came out and stopped the sedan chair.

Shen Youan turned his head to Qi Jinghuan and said; "Childe, this person is so bold that Taifu's convoy dares to stop him."

Qi Jinghuan smiled and said; "Song Taifu is known as a love for talents, and Song Taifu has always cherished feathers, if this scholar has something, stopping Song Taifu's sedan chair can be used a hundred times better than stopping other officials' sedan chairs."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Mrs. Song asked the sedan chair to be lowered and asked what the scholar was doing.

The scholar knelt on the ground and held up a stack of papers in his hand; "Master Taifu, the grass people's name is Gu Mingzhe, he is a student of the four disciplines, this is an article written by the grass people, and I also ask Taifu to comment."

"Oh, you are a student of the four disciplines, and the article has its own comments from the teachers of the four disciplines, why let the official comment."

"Qi Yu Taifu, the grass people failed in this year's imperial examination, and the grass people are not convinced, so I specially asked the Taifu to take a look."

As soon as the scholar's words fell, the people around him laughed, and the scholar who fell off the list actually stopped the sedan chair of the Taifu here.

Mrs. Song sat in the sedan chair and paused; "If you fall off the list, you should go back to study hard, and you should not stop the official sedan chair here and hinder the people."

As soon as Taifu's words fell, a guard stepped forward to pull the scholar away, and the scholar protected the paper in his hand and shouted urgently; "It's a pity that Maxima often exists, but Bole doesn't."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sigh around them, and they all pointed to the scholar and discussed.

Shen Youan was also stunned, and said in his heart; This scholar has a big breath.

The voice of Mrs. Song came from the sedan chair.

"Bring it in."

The scholar hurriedly raised the paper in his hand above his head.

The servant took the stack of papers and presented it to Mrs. Song, and after a while, the laughter of Mrs. Song came from the sedan chair; "Your name is Gu Mingzhe."

"Back to Taifu, grass people Gu Mingzhe."

"I'm interested in having a chat."

The scholar was overjoyed, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said; "Thank you, too."

Mrs. Song's sedan chair was lifted again, and the scholar also left behind the sedan chair.
