Chapter 191: Palace Lantern
Luoyang palace lamp is one of Luoyang's specialties, which was originally only used during palace festivals. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info because it has the characteristics of opening when it is used and closing when it is not in use, flexible and flexible, convenient and easy to carry, and then gradually flowed out of the court and was loved by ordinary people. Due to different materials, structures, shapes, sizes, and workmanship, the value of Luoyang palace lamps is not the same. And the one in Wu Zhaoyan's hand, Shen Yueran estimated that it should be the top grade in the palace lamp.
Wu Zhaoyan was very surprised.
"I heard my sister-in-law say that you have lived in Wenchi for a long time, and I thought you were shallow, but I didn't expect that you know how to eat soup dumplings, and even the Luoyang Palace Lantern can be seen at a glance. I thought you'd blurt out the word 'lantern' and laugh at you again, but you didn't give me that chance. ”
Wu Zhaoyan looked very excited.
"After finishing official business in Luoyang, I went out for a long time, and I kept thinking about what to carry. Luo embroidery is actually very good, but you are good at Bian embroidery, so it is not interesting for me to bring it again. The taste of the old eight pieces is good, but you are a shortbread maker, and I am afraid that you will get tired of it when you see those pastries. I also went to take a look at flower tea, jade and the like, all of which are very good, but they are a little ordinary and nothing new. Later, I went to the White Horse Temple with two colleagues and saw this palace lamp, so I moved my mind. This is not an ordinary palace lamp, it is the temple scene painted by Master Yan Guang, the abbot of the White Horse Temple, you see, this is the Tianwang Palace, this is the Big Buddha Palace, this is the Receiving Hall, this is the Pilu Pavilion ......"
Wu Zhaoyan rotated the palace lantern while pointing to the lamp to explain.
"Correction sir."
The more Shen Yueran listened, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but interrupt him.
"Lord Correction, this palace lamp is for Yueran?"
Not to mention that it was drawn by the highly respected Master Yan Guang himself, it is said that Wu Zhaoyan took great pains to select and bring it back to Bianjing from Luoyang, which was enough to make her uneasy.
"Yes."
Wu Zhaoyan said, "Although I haven't been in where you live, I have seen it at the door, and it is very simple and remote. Moreover, the suburbs of Beijing are not as bright as the capital, and they are always brightly lit. It's okay now, it's getting dark late, and when I turn back to September, it's dark early, and it's always more convenient to go out with a light. ”
Where is Shen Yueran willing to ask for it?
First, he is Wu Zhaoyan, second, the palace lamp is very valuable, and third, it is useless.
She hurriedly saluted, "Yue Ran is grateful to the correction lord for being thoughtful, but Yue Ran doesn't need it, and she can't ask for it, and I ask for the correction adult's understanding." ”
"I don't understand."
Wu Zhaoyan seemed to have expected her to refuse, and without thinking about it, she categorically continued, "If you don't need it, this must be false, and you don't have a palace lamp there, how can you not need it?" If you can't ask for this, it's also false, but why can't you accept a palace lamp? I'm afraid it's true that I don't want it. ”
Shen Yueran was speechless for a while.
"Correction adults, don't be embarrassed."
She really couldn't think of a reason to refuse, only acquiescing.
Wu Zhaoyan snorted coldly.
"I know you don't want it, because I bought it, you don't want it. If Wei Yi bought it, you would want it. ”
Wei Yi and a woman in the back alley are the most sensational news in Bianjing Mansion in the past few days. As soon as he heard his colleague say that the woman was white and pure, with a delicate goose egg face, he just wanted to pretend that he didn't know who the woman was.
The two have reached the point of openly flirting......
His face sank.
Shen Yueran was even more silent when she heard him say this.
There was a strong sense of vinegar in these words, and she just wanted to pretend that she didn't know, but there was no way.
"If you don't want it, you have to ask for it!"
Wu Zhaoyan saw her acquiesce again, and he was even more annoyed.
"If you don't want it, I'll let my sister give it to you. Hmph, you don't know, as long as I speak, my sister will do it anyway. "He simply played a scoundrel.
When Shen Yueran heard that he actually moved out of Wu Zhaorong, she couldn't cry or laugh.
Who doesn't know that Wu Zhaorong has always been the person who gives her the most headaches.
It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that—
Let a sleeping dog lie.
"Correction lord, why bother, why force Yueran to come?" She lowered her voice, pitiful, as if she was the one who should apologize.
Wu Zhaoyan deliberately didn't look at her.
"Okay, if you don't want to alarm your sister, you just accept it obediently, it's a big deal that I won't embarrass you in the future."
I don't know if I was forced or compromised.
Shen Yueran had no choice but to accept the palace lamp.
The carriage was found early the next morning, and when passing by Yong'an Min Lane, Shen Yueran gave the groom an extra silver or two and asked him to wait for a while.
The signboard of Meijia Cake Shop is still there, and the building sign and façade seem to have been renovated, which is much more upscale than before.
The case of the disappearance of Wang Shi's second daughter made her think about Mei Caiyu, a former good sister.
It's not that I didn't think about it before, but in the end, I'm still angry.
Although more than three months have passed, she still feels uncomfortable when she thinks of Mei Caiyu's disdain and ridicule for her at that time.
Inexplicable, aggrieved, annoyed, probably what she felt at the time.
Although she took care of her face at the time and left behind the sentence "Come to visit you in a few days", in fact, she did not plan to visit Mei Caiyu again.
She is also looking forward to the fact that if the master of the harvest figure it out one day, he will go to the suburbs of Beijing to find her......
Oh, she's still too naïve.
The storefront of Meijia Cake Shop seems to have widened a lot, and there are many more raw faces that she doesn't recognize.
At this time, there were many guests eating in the cake shop, and Xiao Er was so busy that he was sweating profusely.
Mei Changsheng was not in the cake shop, but he saw Zhao Anyang.
Zhao Anyang stood behind the counter to settle the accounts, saw her, and took the initiative to say hello.
"The sister of the Shen family is here, is she here to find jade?" He asked with a smile.
Zhao Anyang was born thin and small, and his appearance was a little stumbling, which was not a good match for Mei Cailian today. However, he was willing to quit his job at the dock and become the son-in-law of the Mei family, and his devotion to Mei Cailian and the Mei family is still commendable.
“…… No. She denied it.
If Mei Caiyu knew that she had come to Mei's house, she would naturally understand her intentions, and she didn't need to say more.
"Passing by, smelling the fragrance, come and taste Daddy May's fire." She laughed.
"That's good, sister, sit down, I'll let the back kitchen prepare."
Zhao Anyang beckoned, and Shen Yueran chose a position to sit down.
After a while, a bowl of mung bean porridge and two dishes of pickles were served together.
Shen Yueran was not too hungry, tasted them one by one, and said with a smile, "Daddy Mei's craftsmanship is getting better and better, I remember the last time I came, there was no bean porridge and side dishes, but now I am all working, and I have a rich breakfast." ”
Zhao Anyang sat down opposite her and said, "Uncle Yue's craftsmanship is good, but when it comes to doing business, it should be jade mining." Listening to Cailian Dao, the cake shop was just a façade for selling cakes before, but Caiyu Road should be widened, and it is best to invite guests in, and come up with the idea of selling porridge and sending pickles together. To be honest, my father-in-law and I were against it at the beginning. Because selling cakes and selling fire is a small business, and then sending pickles is not all lost. Cai Yu scolded us for being shallow, saying that doing business is about popularity, and as long as the popularity goes up, we are worried that there is no profit. Now it seems that she is quite right. ”
Shen Yueran smiled. (To be continued.) )
