Chapter 32: The Capital (2)
Ye Sangyu was surprised and delighted with these ten plates of lotus mats, after only tasting this once, I can't forget it in my heart, women always like visual and taste enjoyment, now there is this double enjoyment of the table, if you leave in the future, don't make her crazy if you can't eat it?
After eating a good thing, she hadn't woken up from the aftertaste, Liu Bi took her to a very simple thatched hut, this house was built in a more remote place, surrounded by four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and also tied a fence to enclose the yard decently, and there were some black-boned chickens with snow-white feathers and black claws and mouths in the yard.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, this sentence can also describe other diets, the ancients were good tea, Ye Sangyu was interested in a faint taste, I thought it was an elegant tea shop, but when I entered the house, I found that people were standing with black ceramic bowls, walking freely in the house, the place against the wall of the house was placed a pot-bellied pottery jar, and there were two or three long-handled iron spoons hanging on the side of the cylinder, and people used this spoon to hold drinks of various colors from the jar, and the people here called it pulp cheese.
Ye Sangyu has also drunk cheese since she entered this noodle, in fact, it is a drink made of various grains mixed with different fruits, she looked left and right, and held a bowl of lilac and somewhat thick cheese, took a sip, sweet and sour, very appetizing, smelled it lightly, and could smell the fragrance of flowers, and distinguish it carefully, as if it was a taste of forgetfulness.
She chose another bowl of white milk-like cheese, smelled it gently, it smelled like honeysuckle, and when she tasted it, it was sweet and salty, and it felt soft and moist in her throat, "It's really a magical cheese." ”
"Yes, the magic cheese is the name of this small shop, so far no one can guess what is in this cheese, Gu said that some people have seen this store buy a large number of medicinal herbs and flowers every day, it may be the raw materials for making this cheese." Liu Bi drank a bowl of transparent amber cheese that smelled a little fruit wine.
The two of them had just eaten, and they drank a lot of cheese at this time, and they really had a round stomach and couldn't walk. "I don't think it's too early today, let's go back to the Zhong'an Hou Mansion to rest first."
"Okay, okay, that's what I mean." Ye Sangyu happily agreed.
Liu Bi and Ye Sangyu rode to the north of the city, the north city is dozens of miles away from the mansion of the nobles in Beijing, Zhong'an Hou is among them, all the way Ye Sangyu found that every household here as long as there is an official product of the door has a door nail, but it seems to be inlaid at will, there is a small door, there is only one door, but there are forty-nine door nails on it.
And there are three gates of the high door nobles, although the door is painted vermilion, the stone lion watches the door, but there is no door nail on the door, only the magnificent two bronze gilt door knockers. She remembered that in the Celestial Empire, door nails with decorative effects began in the Tang Dynasty, and before the Ming Dynasty, door nails were not used to display grades, while the Qing Dynasty carefully planned the number of door nails, and other idlers could not have this thing on their doors.
When I arrived at the Hou Mansion in Zhong'an, I found that there were two unicorn beasts standing at the door of the Hou Mansion distinctively, one male and one female sitting on both sides, the male was tall and mighty, the momentum was pressing, the female was small and delicate, and there was a small unicorn leaning on the bosom, "I see that the door of the other house is either a lion or a pixiu, why do you put two unicorns in front of the Hou Mansion?" ”
"You don't understand this, the lion is an animal from Fanbang, people look at the fierce and burly, carved to the town, even ordinary rich and noble people can use. And dragons such as Pixiu and Qilin have children, but they need to be very prominent in their ancestors to use them in the town. Liu Bi said and pointed to a family living across the wall from Zhong'anhou, and two huge pixiu could be seen in front of his house from a distance.
"The ancestor who has Pixiu in front of the door must at least be a national prince, and if there is a crane in front of the door, the ancestor must have produced the prime minister of Taifu and the like. And this unicorn beast can only be placed by the royal branch, although our Zhong'an Hou is only a marquis's mansion, but the ancestor is also close to Emperor Taizu, so naturally this unicorn can be placed. "Liu Bi and Ye Sangyu are carefully leveled with the feudal system here.
Ye Sangyu couldn't help nodding, she really didn't know about these feudal etiquette systems, "Thank you Brother Liu for explaining, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to laugh at my little brother in the future." ”
"Where, where." Liu Bi shook his hand.
While talking, the two got off the horse, and the doorkeeper in the corner gate came over at this time, and was about to ask who it was, when he approached and found that it was Liu Bi who was busy trotting to him, and said with a smile, "It turned out that Liu Huqi came back, and the prince heard that you were coming back today and sent someone to ask several times." ”
"Oh, then I'll take the guests directly to see the prince." Liu Bi listened and handed him the reins in his hand, and turned back to Ye Sangyu. "Brother Ye, let's go to the mansion to meet the prince of the world."
Liu Bi led the way and took Ye Sangyu into the corner gate, there were two or three small men guarding the door sitting on the stone steps under the porch of the door, and when he saw Liu Bi, he got up respectfully and saluted, Liu Bi did not respond and only led Ye Sangyu to continue to move forward, and entered the second gate, which is the outer courtyard, where the general servants live, and most of the people who come and go are the miscellaneous servants of each house. Walking inside, there were more people slowly, and there were not a few people who saluted and greeted along the way, and Liu Bi also stopped to say a few words when he saw that he was dressed differently, and still kept going inside with Ye Sangyu.
Passing through a small garden, Liu Bi led into an arch, the road that turned around and turned around did not know where it led, the people came and went a lot, and the people who came and went were all young and beautiful girls, although the clothes were not gorgeous, but compared to some planes outside the capital, the people were dressed neatly, and the heads were decorated with fresh flowers, and there were some outstanding ones, and there were one or two silver ornaments.
When Ye Sangyu was about to faint, Liu Bi finally stopped, and in front of him was a courtyard surrounded by blue tiles and white walls, and the roofs of some houses could be faintly seen. Liu Bi put away a smile and stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted, "Subordinate Liu Bi has returned from outside and came to meet the prince." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard movement in the door, and after a while, the door opened from the inside, it was a little girl in green clothes, combing her double bun, smiling and looking very cute, "It turned out that Liu Hu rode here, and the prince was waiting?" Saying that, he looked at Ye Sangyu curiously, and saw that he was a charming and wealthy son, thinking that he was also a high-ranking son of a family, and he was busy seeing a big gift.
"Le Rong doesn't have to make a big salute, this is Doctor Ye." Seeing that the girl had misunderstood, Liu Bi hurriedly dissuaded.
"Huh? Doctor! Le Rong opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Ye Sangyu a few times, she couldn't believe that this personable-looking good boy was just an ordinary doctor.
"Lead us to the Son." Liu Bi saw that she was looking too much, and hurriedly urged.
