Chapter Thirty-Nine: Just a Meal
This time, the emperor and all the princes and ministers rushed to the mausoleum of the eldest grandson and queen to worship, and the noisy movement of the carriages and horses was slow, and I was afraid that it would take a day and night to arrive at the earliest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The merchant and Li Mo were brisk, and they copied a small road that branched off the official road, so it only took half a day to cross the emperor's car and go ahead.
By the time they arrived at night, the carriage of the two had already driven into Liquan County, in Xianyang.
Taking advantage of the fact that the night had not yet fallen, Li Mo and the merchant found an inconspicuous inn and asked the shopkeeper for two upper rooms. After a day of driving, the merchant was so tired that his eyelids were fighting, but he still supported himself, but his face was tired and looked distressing.
"You go into the room, I'll ask Xiao Er to bring hot water up, you wash your face first! I'll get someone to bring me food. I couldn't bear to see Shang Shang strong to support himself, Li Mo couldn't help but say that he drove her into the room, and turned around and went downstairs to ask Xiao Er for hot water.
The two of them didn't take anyone to serve when they went out this time, they had to be a coachman who drove the car, although Li Yan had always followed the two of them, but it was inconvenient for the guards to show up in secret, so Li Mo had to do everything himself, but he was also willing to do it.
"Shopkeeper, but there is still a guest room?"
Li Mo was about to go downstairs, but he might as well hear someone talking in the lobby downstairs at the corner of the stairs. The voice was three points familiar, and I couldn't help but feel a secret surprise.
"Yes, yes, yes! This guest officer, are you going to the room or? The shopkeeper asked the guests diligently, secretly praising his good luck.
At this time, there are not many merchants who go out to do business, and most of the guest rooms are empty, and a small inn like him can have a few passing guests staying in a day is already an excellent business. Looking at this person, it doesn't look like he has no money, but he came to his small shop to stay in the same way as the two guests of Fang Cai, and he really earned it!
"Give me an upper room! Asked Xiao Er to fetch hot water and bring it in. The guest didn't say much, and pointed to the horse outside the door and motioned for Xiao Er to lead it to feed the forage.
"Great!" The shopkeeper carried a small lamp, walked ahead, and led the male guest downstairs and was about to go upstairs, but he happened to bump into Li Mo who was about to go downstairs.
Li Mo looked at the man in Tsing Yi who walked sideways beside him, and secretly remembered in his heart where he had heard this voice, but he couldn't remember it for a while. The two looked at each other, and the man who passed by Li Mo smiled politely at him, and went upstairs by himself.
Li Mo stood on the stairs thoughtfully, although he didn't know this man, his back gave him a strange sense of familiarity. And at this time, he went on the road alone, if he said that he was a family and did not see the softness with him, if he said that he was doing goods but did not see the goods, it was really suspicious.
The most suspicious thing is that he is dressed, although it is just an inconspicuous-looking green cloth robe, but Li Mo knows that this kind of fabric, commonly known as green silk brocade, is not cheap! Even in Chang'an, there are not many people who can afford to wear them. Most of them were ordered by the princes and ministers to go to Taoguang to raise obscurity, and ordinary people didn't understand the benefits of this cloth at all.
But the princes and ministers in Chang'an City basically don't have anyone Li Mo hasn't seen, who is this man?
The rubbing shoulders with Li Mo really made Yu Wenjing breathe a sigh of relief, and it wasn't until he heard the sound of footsteps coming downstairs that he relaxed. After giving a small silver coin to send the shopkeeper, Yu Wenjing reclined on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Following behind Li Mo and Shang Shang, Yu Wenjing finally caught up with the two in Liquan County. Thinking of Li Ke's death order to himself, Yu Wenjing couldn't help frowning a little.
This King Wu, will it be too much of a fuss? It's just a Zhan thing from the Prince's Mansion, can you use it like this? Even if he leads the dark people in the prince's mansion, the importance will not exceed that of the prince, right? At this time, is it useful to stare at Li Mo instead of the prince?
I was thinking about it in a mess when I heard someone knocking on the door. When Yu Wenjing got up and opened the door, he saw the old shopkeeper leading Xiao Er into the house with the bath water.
After Xiao Er poured the bath water, Yu Wenjing waved them to retreat, and took off his clothes and soaked them in the barrel. After wearing a human skin mask for a day, he also felt a little depressed.
There was a voice from the next room, but when I listened closely, I couldn't hear it clearly. Yu Wenjing only felt irritable in his heart, so he simply buried his head in the water, feeling the feeling of water surrounding his head and pouring in from his nose and ears.
How long has it been since you've seen a businessman? He doesn't remember it himself. I only felt that when I watched her get into Li Mo's carriage at the door of the kitchen road, it seemed like a lifetime had passed, and the scene when she gently bandaged herself and applied medicine had become a little blurred.
He didn't know what Li Mo wanted in Li Mo, but if this kind of attempt was unfavorable to businessmen, what should he do? .
The merchant took a hot bath comfortably, and after putting on clean clothes, the fatigue of rushing all the way subsided a little. When he opened the door, Li Mo was standing at the door of the next room to the east who had changed his clothes.
"Hungry, huh? I'll ask Xiao Er to bring some food. Li Mo looked at the merchant's crimson cheeks after bathing, and touched her wet hair hanging down behind her back dotingly.
"No need, let's go down to the restaurant and eat! You can also take a look at the street scene. "Coming to the Tang Dynasty to the present, the places where the merchants and businessmen have been are inseparable from Chang'an and Luoyang, and there are only a handful of opportunities to go outside.
Li Mo chuckled, Liquan County is just a small county seat, and there are no pedestrians on the street at this time. But seeing that she was so happy, she didn't want to say anything about the scenery.
The lobby of the small shop has been lit up, and the yellow light in the room hits the merchant's face, and the thin layer of fur on the cheeks also has a thin halo, which is particularly delicate and cute.
The merchant sat down by the window sullenly, glanced at the store with a few people, and looked at the dark night outside the window, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed. I thought I could see some lively street scenes, but I didn't expect it to be so deserted.
"In a few days is the Buddha Bathing Festival, then you can go shopping in Chang'an, Liquan County is a small place, where will there be any good scenery?" Li Mo saw that the merchant was unhappy, and coaxed softly.
"That's all it can be." The merchant propped his chin and looked at Li Mo who was sitting opposite. Under the candlelight, the expression on his face was particularly soft, and his eyes seemed to be full of tender affection like water.
After picking a few small dishes on the table with chopsticks, the merchant suddenly rose a little, remembering that Li Mo hadn't eaten her cooking a few times, so he raised his head again, and said excitedly: "Mo! Shall I cook for you? It must be better than this! ”
"I'm afraid there are no ingredients here------ can you make it?" Li Mo hesitated a little, although it was a businessman with good cooking skills, it was difficult for this clever woman to cook without rice! Besides, after a day's journey, she must have been tired.
"Let's go check it out first! It doesn't take much, as long as there are two or three things, there are always some dishes to cook for us, right? The merchant looked at the unappetizing dishes on the table, but made up his mind to go to the kitchen.
Li Mo shook his head and chuckled, he had never seen a businessman with a childish stubbornness, all along, the businessman always showed a more mature and sensible appearance than him, sometimes Li Mo even had some illusions, it seemed that the businessman's age was really older than him!
The two pulled the shopkeeper into the kitchen, rummaged in the stove for a while, and really found two or three materials that could be used as the main dish, and the merchant happily pushed Li Mo out of the kitchen, and he was busy in the kitchen, bent on making two things that could be eaten smoothly.
Yu Wenjing, who had just finished bathing, had not yet gone downstairs when he smelled the tempting aroma of food, and he couldn't help but feel a little hungry after following Li Mo and Shang Shang for a day.
"I didn't expect this small place to have such a good cook? Just smelling this smell, I'm afraid that the cooks in King Wu's mansion won't be able to make it. Yu Wenjing sniffed lightly and nodded in a low voice.
Closing the door and going downstairs, Yu Wenjing saw Li Mo and Shang Shang sitting by the window at a glance, the two of them were pointing to the food on the table with a smile on their faces, and looking at it under the candlelight, it was quite a bit of color, fragrance and taste.
"Shopkeeper, serve me some food according to the dishes of those two." Yu Wenjing picked a table not far from Li Mo and the two and sat down, and beckoned to the shopkeeper.
"This~~~" The old shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, approached Yu Wenjing and whispered: "Guest officer, it's not that the small shop doesn't serve you, it's just that this food is made by the girl herself, and the small shop really doesn't have that ability." ”
Yu Wenjing raised his eyebrows, and when he heard the shopkeeper's words, he laughed a little. Why are you confused? I know that the merchant is the person behind the kitchen, but why do you forget?
"Then let's have some food!" Yu Wenjing smiled good-naturedly. He is not a man of heavy appetite, and if he doesn't have it, he doesn't have it.
"This brother! If you don't mind, just sit down with me! Shang Shang heard Yu Wenjing's words with the tip of his ear, and out of an inexplicable sense of familiarity, Shang Shang impulsively opened his mouth to invite.
Yu Wenjing turned his head when he heard the voice, but he only saw the clear big eyes of the businessman who sincerely invited him and Li Moluo's eyes with some scrutiny. The pure enthusiasm of the merchant and Li Mo's cold inquiry formed a strange aura.
"How can I disturb you?" Yu Wenjing hesitated, although the invitation of the merchant made him excited, but Li Mo beside her was not easy to deal with!
"When you go out, meeting is fate, why bother? Brother Tai is too polite! Li Mo suddenly smiled and invited in a relaxed voice.
Although she was a little reluctant to let out the food cooked by Shang Shang herself, since Shang Shang had opened her mouth, Li Mo didn't want her to be unhappy.
What's more, the man in front of him can feel so familiar to him, but he has never seen it, so there is only one explanation, that is, he must be wearing a human skin mask! If you can observe it closely, you may be able to get some unexpected gains.
Yu Wenjing looked at Li Mo, and then at the businessman with a sincere face, and couldn't help grinning.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Just eat a meal! He just wanted to have a meal with her in peace! Isn't that too much to ask? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
