Chapter 356: Third Uncle
Qiu Chen also followed a pair of children to the railing of the high pavilion, and looked at the lake below, Qin Zheng was obviously very familiar with this place, and he lost the interest of Qiu Chen and the children, and sat on the chair after entering the door, took the cup of tea from the little servant and drank it slowly.
Yang Jingyong followed with great interest, and also took a handful of fish and threw it down, causing the fish that were originally huddled under the window to turn around and go to the other side to grab food, which also made Man'er shout and protest unhappily, "Uncle Tang, you robbed my fish!" ”
"Little girl, when did you become your fish?" Yang Jingyong clapped his hands, slapped Man'er's head with a smile, and joked with her little bun head.
"I brought it here with fish food, and it's naturally mine!" Man'er screamed unhappily, shaking his head to avoid Yang Jingyong's strange palm, puffing out his little cheeks and glaring at Yang Jingyong, thinking in his heart, do you want to throw some medicine powder down...... This pond of fish will soon be hers!
Hey, it doesn't seem to work, she learned from her master to make drugs...... If a handful of poison powder is sprinkled, won't it poison all the fish? It's useless to earn dead fish. If only there was that kind of medicine powder that would be stunned and not poisoned. Well, this is very interesting, secretly ask the master when the mother is not there!
made the little girl jump to her feet, Yang Jingyong was very bored, turned her head and said to Qiu Chenxian: "Sister, how do you see the scenery here?" Can it still be in your eyes? ”
Qiu Chen nodded, looked back at an empty and wide water surface, and said with a straight face: "Such a large piece of water is so empty and boring, if you raise one hundred and eighty ducks and geese, the spring river plumbing duck prophet, and the goose white feather floating green waves, wouldn't it have a different artistic conception!" ”
Yang Jingyong glared at Qiu Chen, and didn't react for a long time.
Old man Mu had just entered the door, and he was taking a sip of a cup of tea, when he heard Qiu Chen's high remarks, he almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, and after barely holding it back, he choked into his throat raw, and the poor generation of martial arts masters was almost suffocated by a mouthful of tea, and he coughed violently, almost coughing out the lobes of his lungs.
Qin Zheng didn't drink water, and his face that barely smiled was almost broken, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he coughed lightly twice, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea and sent it to Old Man Mu, caring about Old Man Mu's body.
Those waiters and girls were the worst, one by one wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so that the pain was so painful, a few girls couldn't help it, secretly turned their heads, laughed silently, and couldn't hear the slightest sound from behind, but they could see that the whole body was shaking.
The two babies were excited, looking at Yang Jingyong with bright eyes, and Man'er slapped his face directly and applauded: "Okay, good, what my mother said is great, raise a group of ducks and geese, and you can also listen to the song of the goose to the sky, and the ducks are also ...... Ducks can also lay duck eggs, and the salted egg yolk pickled by the mother is the most fragrant! It's the best! ”
Yang Jingyong didn't take a breath yet, and was blocked by Man'er again, and Shengsheng blocked half of his breath again, his face was blue and white, which was called a wonderful infinite.
Qiu Chen was the most calm one in the audience, glanced at Yang Jingyong idly, and shook his head with disdain. It's just like that, and there's no humor at all!
originally wanted to show off his own good place, but he encountered Waterloo one after another, and Yang Jingyong took a long time to recover his strength, but he was wilted, and he no longer had the initial excitement. just echoed the voice, and the two babies who chased him and asked to raise ducks and geese were miserable and angry directly at the waiters: "I haven't seen that the guests have been here for a long time, why haven't you passed the food?" ”
The waiters innocently reprimanded and did not dare to refute, so they hurriedly went down to urge the kitchen to serve the food.
Urging the relationship, soon the waiter first sent a few plates of fresh melons and fruits and fine snacks up, the two children made a fuss for a long time, and they were also hungry, and they were immediately attracted by the delicious food, Yang Jingyong was able to get rid of the two children's feeding plans, and sat sullenly on the couch drinking tea to quench the fire.
Natural residence is worthy of being the best representative of the government's private dishes in the capital, one dish after another, all of them are carefully cooked, all kinds of ingredients have been dug out by generations of imperial chefs to excavate and process, do their best to stimulate the deliciousness of the ingredients, but also to shape and match the color...... A plate of dishes is served, the color is gorgeous and rich, the taste is delicate, the layers are rich, the effort is profound, and the taste is strong...... It's just that, in Qiu Chen's view, the dishes that have been cooked after many procedures have lost the most authentic taste of the ingredients, just like words that are gorgeously piled up, beautiful are beautiful, but they have lost the truest and most simple things, and they have become flashy.
Although there is such a little regret, the meal is still enjoyed by the guests and hosts, Yang Jingyong also discussed with Qiu Chen during the banquet, asking her to send some of the mountain wine she made and sell it in the natural house, but Qiu Chen decisively refused.
"Although mountain wine is accepted by everyone, but in the final analysis, it is still a simple thing full of mountain and wild atmosphere, and it does not match your style and tone here.
Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused, shook his head and continued: "The key is that the people who come to eat here pay attention to this kind of delicate and delicate tone, what kind of old wine has been buried under the tree for decades, to use the water on the plum petals to boil tea, and to use the most exquisite and beautiful porcelain to hold the dishes...... Don't have one plate, just three or two chopsticks...... The guests who come here pay attention to the mood, what to eat, what to drink, the more mysterious the name, the better, as for what the truth is, it doesn't matter. ”
Yang Jingyong was stunned again when he heard this, and he came back to his senses for a long time, Qiu Chen had already discussed with the two children and Old Man Mu what snacks to eat in Tianfu Temple for a while, as if the delicacies they ate at noon were far less exciting and exciting than those street snacks.
Looking back at the clothes and makeup of other people's families, Yang Jingyong also understood that the family was originally going to the street for food today, and they didn't want him to eat here at all...... Don't you see how close the people are to the people?
It's just a matter of not looking at it, but after a closer look, Yang Jingyong couldn't help but feel a burst of pantothenic acid. A newlywed couple is dressed plainly, and they actually wear matching clothes in a flash, is this to show to whom they have a lot of affection? Shh
Although the ingenuity of the natural residence is too heavy, it is still very comfortable, and I have eaten a meal for more than an hour unconsciously, and I have not been in it at this time. The two children like to go shopping, and Qiu Chen is also full of curiosity and expectation about the capital in this era. Although Anyang City is prosperous, it naturally cannot be compared with the capital. Besides, no matter how inflective points appear in the history of this world, the capital is still the same one after all, Qiu Chen has lived in the same city for nearly twenty years, and she is still looking forward to being able to see the style of the capital hundreds of years ago.
Seeing that the time was not early, Qiu Chen greeted the two babies, washed their faces and hands, cleaned up and prepared to take them out to go for a yo-yo.
Yang Jingyong watched Qiu Chen finish cleaning up the two babies, and then asked the maid to take him to the clean room, and knew that the family was ready to go shopping, and he didn't hesitate to follow at all, but was disgusted by Qiu Chen who came out of the clean room: "You dress like this and go to the street?" ”
Yang Jingyong looked down at his robe in a daze, he felt that he was wearing it normally today? I didn't wear a prince's clothes, but I just wore a set of regular clothes, what's wrong with dressing like this? Where is the disgrace?
Old man Mu pouted beside him and said: "When you go to the street, you have to be almost at ease with the people on the street, what you eat, what you see, what you play, it's all done, as long as you dress like this, can you go and eat a bowl of fried lungs with copper plates?" Can you eat a copper plate and a belly? ”
Hearing Old Man Mu counting those street foods in the same way, Yang Jingyong's face changed, he had been hidden for many years, he had been in the northern military camp for a long time, and he had suffered a lot, but the hardships he suffered were also caused by the weather and geography. Nature is as comfortable and clean as possible. He had never tasted those street foods, he could have seen them, those street foods, the smell may be tempting, but let him eat them, he would never dare to eat them. He himself had seen a stall owner boiling haggis blowing his nose, and he didn't even wipe his hand, and when he turned around, he went directly to grab the haggis and put it in the pot...... Vomit!
In general, it can be seen from that small stall that it is difficult to be truly clean because of the limited conditions of street food. He will never be able to eat it!
Qiu Chen saw that he looked embarrassed and entangled, and roughly guessed the reason, so he smiled and relieved: "I'm afraid you don't have the right clothes, in this way, you take a little rest here, go to Mentou Bridge to pick a good opera garden to settle down, let's take the children to Tianfu Temple for a walk, let's go to Mentou Bridge to find you, okay?" ”
Qiu Chen really considered this suggestion for Yang Jingyong, but people didn't appreciate it at all.
After Qiu Chen married into the Qin family, he couldn't go out easily. Because he lives in the Liang Guogong Mansion, it is not good for him to come to the door directly to visit him as before, eating and drinking. This was finally taken out by Qin Zheng, and he could stay a little longer, so he naturally refused to let the family leave him alone.
He didn't dig into it himself, his involuntary closeness to Qiu Chen, no matter how much worry he had, seemed to be able to put it aside when he saw Qiu Chen, and he really relaxed and rejoiced.
Yang Jingyong's clothes preferred bright colors, but he didn't have plain robes, so he dragged Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen to wait for him for two quarters of an hour, and then sent someone to ride back to the house and get a set of azure gray plain robes to change into, and then followed a group of people of all sizes out of the natural residence.
There are only two alleys from the natural residence to the Tianfu Temple, because the natural residence is surrounded by private restaurants that officials love to come to, Yang Jingyong and Qin Zheng both took the car, only the old man Mu took Afu Aman to sit on the wheel of the car without hesitation, giggling and laughing all the way and set off.
Tianfu Temple is indeed prosperous enough, although it is already the afternoon, not the most lively incense season in the morning, the visitors at the entrance of Tianfu Temple are still a lot, among the bustling crowds, there is a kind of stall to buy food in three or five steps, but, want to fry the lungs, burst the belly These meat dishes are on the periphery of the edge, go not far inside, it has become the world of vegetarian snacks. All kinds of dim sum cakes, fruit syrup, and even the most common red bean cake can be made into seven or eight different flavors.
Qiu Chen doesn't like shopping very much, but he has a soft spot for these snacks with unique flavors, and he will buy a little bit of almost everything, taste the taste, and give the rest to the maiden guards who follow him to eat. As a result, after the last day, she took Afu Aman and continued to buy and taste it, but the people who followed behind her couldn't eat it anymore, so they had to carry it in their hands, large and small.
Since it is the origin of the prosperity of Tianfu Temple, there are naturally a lot of things such as incense, candles, and Buddhist utensils.
After Mrs. Liu's life improved, like many old ladies, she began to believe in Buddhism, but the old lady believed not in Sakyamuni, but in Guanyin Bodhisattva. I went to the Niangniang Temple in Qinghe County to invite a stone statue of Guanyin for at home, and prayed with incense every day, hoping that the Bodhisattva would bless the children and grandchildren with peace and health and prosperity.
Qiu Chen didn't believe this, but he was very interested in the dazzling array of Buddhist beads and Buddhist utensils, although most of the things placed on the stall were of average quality, there were no too good materials, and the carvings were average, but they were very simple and lovely.
Yang Jingyong didn't care about the eyes of those stall owners who ate people, every time he saw Qiu Chen go to see those shoddy things, he poured cold water on the side, and he was picky about the poor materials, and the carvers were clumsy and unusable, but Qiu Chen was not affected by him, but took the initiative to bargain with the stall owner through this person who was desperately hateful, and the few things he bought got very affordable prices.
Walking all the way, Qiu Chen bought a string of Bodhi Buddha beads carved from Venus rosewood; I bought a few pieces of Bodhi lotus pendants carved from Tridacnis, and in addition to giving one to Afu Aman, the rest was very good to give away.
It was getting late, Qiu Chen and the children were still in high spirits, so the group turned to the tile that went to Mentou Bridge.
At this time, it was too late to watch juggling and the like, so Yang Jingyong proposed to go to the most popular Tianxianglou to listen to the play, and it is said that there was a popular Xiaodan playing the West Chamber that night.
Qiu Chen was impatient to watch those babbling and ambiguous scenes, and asked Yang Jingyong: "Where is the mixed residence good-looking?" I want that kind of trick or witty play. ”
Yang Jingyong is not very keen on that kind of slapstick scene, but as soon as he turned his eyes, he saw Afu Aman's two pairs of shining eyes, so he had to touch his nose and lead the way honestly: "Then go to Baoguang Building, you can still see the monkey show of the Pan Tao Club there!" ”
Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Pan Tao Club?" ”
Although she is a science student, she also knows that "Journey to the West" is a famous work by the Ming Dynasty novelist Wu Chengen, and she is equivalent to the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. So what will Wu Chengen do after he is born?
"That's right, it's the scene of the West Queen Mother Yaochi Peach Festival, but it adds a monkey guarding the peach orchard, and you can still watch that monkey show!" Yang Jingyong didn't think there was any surprise in Qiu Chen's inquiry, after all, Qiu Chen grew up in the village, and the 'Pan Tao Club' is also a new drama that has only become popular in the past two years, and Qiu Chen doesn't know how to do it.
Qiu Chen blinked, and finally figured out that there was no Journey to the West in this era, but there were already some fragments of operas or legends, probably, Wu Chengen in history wrote a masterpiece of myths and legends like "Journey to the West" based on these legends.
Ah Fu Aman blinked and listened next to him, and at this time he also heard some doubts, and Ah Fu, who has always been obedient, made an exception and took the lead in asking: "Mother, what Uncle Tang said is the story of Sun Wukong stealing peaches?" ”
Qiu Chen solved her own puzzles, but forgot that there were two little things around her, she didn't take "Journey to the West" as a bedtime story for children, it can be said that most of the plots in "Journey to the West" children have not heard it once, and they are already very familiar with it, yes, although Yang Jingyong did not mention the name of Sun Wukong, but only mentioned a peach club and monkey, which made Afu Aman think of "Journey to the West".
Facing two pairs of clear eyes, Qiu Chen couldn't lie, so he had to nod and agree: "Yes, that's it!" ”
"Monkey King?" Yang Jingyong grasped the key very sensitively.
Qiu Chen looked back and smiled, and said, "I once read a book, and then used the story made up for the children according to the book to put the children to sleep." ”
This answer was decent, Yang Jingyong didn't suspect anything, and when he answered, he led everyone to Baoguang Tower.
Ah Man hugged Yang Jingyong's legs, let him pick him up, hugged Yang Jingyong's neck and giggled: "Uncle Tang, the story told by my mother is very good, the story of Sun Wukong, my mother can tell a lot of stories, and my mother can tell a lot of stories about the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties of learning scriptures from the West!" ”
Yang Jingyong was aroused by the little girl's interest and asked, "Ninety-nine-eighty-one is difficult?" So much? ”
Aman nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, there are the Bull Demon King, the Red Child, the Golden Horn King, the Silver Horn King......
Qiu Chen was still able to use nonsense to perfunctory just now, but this time, Jingman'er counted them one by one with her fingers, and her nonsense was a little unbelievable, and she simply looked indifferent. Anyway, no one can use "Journey to the West" to prove her otherworldly identity, what is she afraid of?
Born with different endowments, she is very rich in association, and she is especially able to talk nonsense!
When the group watched the opera version of "Pan Tao Hui" in Baoguanglou, Afu Aman was somewhat disappointed, the conditions on the stage were limited, and the fairy images of flying away and moving mountains and reclaiming the sea told in the story of his mother were not reflected at all, not to mention the 'somersault cloud' of Sun Wukong, who had fascinated the children for a long time, a somersault can go 108,000 miles!
Yang Jingyong didn't like these noisy scenes, and he had heard the low-key narration of the two babies of Afu and Aman, who didn't know anything about it, and he was even more interested in the 'Monkey King learning from the West' picked up by the baby's mother Qiu Chen.
On the Baoguang Tower, he couldn't help but ask Qiu Chen again and again if he could lend him the book she had read.
Qiu Chen spread his hands: "I also read it when I was a child, and I threw it away after reading a broken book, and I don't know where to throw it away!" ”
Yang Jingyong didn't give up, and was still entangled: "Sister, can you take the time to tell my brother those stories?" ”
Qiu Chen glared at him and said politely: "It's just that I'm free, and you have time to listen to my stories every day?" ”
One sentence poked Yang Jingyong's sore spot, he is no longer as low-key as before, and naturally there are more and more affairs in the court, after taking over the cowpox before, Emperor Inshun gave him jurisdiction over the Tai Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy belonging to the Ministry of Rites. If Qiu Chen's corn and potatoes planted there are bumper harvests this year, after these two 'new crops' are offered, he will receive the credit at the same time, maybe the agricultural work will also be handed over to him......
A little increase in power also means that Emperor Jingshun values him, and of course it also marks the gradual improvement of his status in the court...... Until that day comes, he will be enlightened or he will perish! But without exception, he will not have too idle days in the future.
If he has a book, he can turn a few pages and enjoy his temperament. If you really want to listen to Qiu Chen's story, you have to take the opportunity to find time...... After waiting for the restrictions, how many times a year can he listen to Qiu Chen?
Looking at Yang Jingyong's eyes that darkened in an instant, Qiu Chen was a little unbearable after all. Originally, this was the kind of idle and tranquil character, but he was forced to have no choice but to fight for it, and had to participate in the most cruel and ruthless struggle for imperial power in the world.
Sighing secretly, Qiu Chen smiled: "Don't be discouraged, you don't have time to listen to the story, I will take time out to write it and show it to you when the time comes!" ”
Yang Jingyong immediately swept away the depression, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Qiu Chen and thanked him repeatedly: "Great! It's still my sister, or my sister feels sorry for my little brother! ”
Saying that, Yang Jingyong was not enough, and when he turned around, he said to Afu Aman: "You two, don't call me uncle in the future, change your name to uncle!" ”
Ah Fu Aman didn't quite understand the difference between uncle and uncle, and they all looked back at Qiu Chen in unison, Qiu Chen didn't care about this, glanced at Qin Zheng, smiled knowingly, and nodded in response: "Since your uncle said so, you can call your uncle!" ”
"Uncle!" Ah Man's little mouth was sweet, and when he saw that his mother had agreed, he immediately threw himself into Yang Jingyong's arms and screamed.
Ah Fu has some pedantic bearing at a young age, he wants to sort out everything clearly, think clearly, blink his eyes, look at Qiu Chen and ask: "Mother, there is an eldest uncle and a second uncle at home, is Uncle Tang the third uncle?" ”
This question made Qiu Chen laugh, but Yang Jingyong was a little stunned, how could he have thought that Ah Fu would rank his uncle and the Yang family brothers in the Yang family's shop?
Glancing at Yang Jingyong, Qiu Chen smiled and said, "He is an uncle, but he can ...... with your eldest uncle and second uncle."
Without waiting for Qiu Chen to finish speaking, Yang Jingyong came back to his senses and happily stretched out his hand to pull Ah Fu over, and said with a smile: "I am the third uncle, you will call me the third uncle in the future!" ”
