18. Chapter XVIII
Lu Xiaofeng entered the palace to deliver the message, and Chu Ge was brought down from the palace wall by Ye Guicheng, and the two of them were idle, so they went around the capital in a small circle and bought a lot of things that Jinzhong did not have. However, they came out late, and the journey to the palace was a bit long, so the two of them didn't turn around for long, and the sky darkened.
I casually found an inn to stay, had dinner, slept again, and got up the next day, Chu Ge was lazily telling Ye Guicheng if he wanted to try an authentic Beijing breakfast such as bean juice and the like, and he heard the diners on the side shouting loudly-
"Have you heard? Last night, Boss Du's bodyguard was killed, his whole head was gone, and he was left with his body, which scared the people who found it! β
"I heard that this bodyguard that Boss Du is looking for is a good hand, why was he killed? Killed by whom? β
"I guess it's the people of the rivers and lakes seeking revenge, right? Fortunately, he only sought his revenge, if he brought Boss Du with him...... Tut-tut, don't you know that Boss Du's expression after seeing the bodyguard being killed directly let the corpse be thrown into the mass grave. β
"Hey, don't talk about Boss Du, do you know, the competition between Ximen Blowing Snow and Ye Gucheng has been rescheduled!"
"What, how do you calculate the gamble between Boss Du and Boss Li?"
"Hey, how else can it be counted? Naturally, there should be no such gamble. After all, Ximen Blowing Snow has not only been rescheduled, but also changed the location! β
"I haven't heard of thatβwhere's the change?"
"So this gamble can't be successful, it is said that Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng met last night and discussed it face-to-face, and no one knows where the two of them are going to compete."
"Isn't that something you can't see?"
"Not really. But you know there was something big going last night, you know? β
"Just say anything, don't sell it!"
"Hehe, I heard about this from the neighbors of the relatives of the brothers who worked in my palace, last night, the prince of the inner house died unexpectedly!"
"Cut~ What is the big deal if an old eunuch dies violently?"
"Can't you say that, the prince is the chief eunuch of the Great Interior, the first celebrity around the emperor, and the most trusted person, and he died? That's not easy, this matter, there is a follow-up! β
"You guessed right, there is really a follow-up to this matter - as soon as the city gate opened this morning, there was a Jinyi guard going south, it is said that it seems to be the fief of the king of the south, as soon as the king of Jinyi goes, this south king's mansion, I'm afraid it will be unlucky~"
β¦β¦
Chu Ge listened to the discussion of the diners in his ear, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, it seems that Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Fuxue were quite successful last night, and now the vassal king is weak, as long as the emperor knows about the conspiracy of the prince of Nanwang, it is still quite easy to take care of him, as for the competition between Ximen Fuxue and Ye Gucheng...... She thought it would be canceled, but she didn't expect it to be rescheduled, which was a bit of a hassle......
Chu Ge thought about it, picked up the bowl that Ye Guicheng handed to him and sent it to his mouth-
Ye Guicheng woke Chu Ge up and went downstairs to eat breakfast very easily in the morning, as soon as he sat down, he heard the chatter and chatter of the diners around him, although he majored in external skills, he also has a lot of internal skills, he doesn't need to listen carefully, he can listen to a lot, as soon as he hears that it is about the rebellion of the king of the south and the battle of Xiye, he has no intention of listening carefully, not to mention that he is not interested in these things, even if there is anything to know, ask the little boss when the time comes. So when the shopkeeper came over and asked the two of them what they wanted to eat, Chu Ge didn't have time to deal with it, and Ye Guicheng could only speculate that Chu Ge probably wanted to eat an authentic breakfast in the capital, so he asked for it.
He is not particularly obsessed with eating, so when he took the bean juice from the shopkeeper, although it smelled a little strange, he only regarded it as a characteristic of the capital, and left one bowl for himself, and the other bowl was handed directly to Chu Ge. Chu Ge was distracted, so he took a sip without looking...... Then Ye Guicheng saw that the other party's white and soft little face was instantly wrinkled into a bag, and he hurriedly ran out of the store.
Ye Guicheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased out, only to see the little girl hiding in the corner of the inn door, vomiting non-stop.
What's going on? Is the food expired, undesirable or toxic? Ye Guicheng was a little confused, and countless thoughts turned in his mind in an instant. Until Chu Ge vomited enough, straightened his waist, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and complained in a low voice: "My mother, the bean juice in the capital really lives up to its reputation, and it has been 'stinky' for a hundred years, right?" β
Ye Return: ......
Is it just because it's unpalatable?!
changed to an ordinary millet porridge, and the two finally finished eating.
Not long after the meal, Tang Tianrong came over - Ye Gucheng sent the head of the imposter last night, and the Mid-Autumn Festival competition was also rescheduled, Ye Gucheng simply took advantage of this time to enter Shu with the Tang family to worship the Tang family and his wife, and after the matter was completely settled, the competition was carried out again, so Tang Tianrong came to say goodbye this time.
Before leaving, Tang Tianrong also warmly invited Ye Guicheng and Chu Ge to go to Tangmen to play for two days, and when the time comes, the board and lodging are all-inclusive, and you can also watch "Stupid and cute~".
I have to say that Tang Er accurately poked Chu Ge's point of interest, and before he went far, he heard Little Boss Chu excitedly say to Ye Guicheng: "Oh, get out, I want to find time to go!" β
Originally, the two of them came to the capital for Tang Tianrong, but now that the matter is over, Tang Tianrong is gone, and Ye Guicheng doesn't want to stay anymore, Chu Ge thought about it, the competition at the top of the Forbidden City is gone, and it really doesn't make sense to continue to stay in the capital - speaking of which, today is August 14, if you hurry up, you can go home for a reunion festival.
So when he went back, Ye Guicheng deliberately bought a good horse at a high price, and the two rode together, and they entered the city just before the sun went down on August 15 and the city gate was closed.
Seeing the curling smoke wafting in the direction of the tavern from a distance, Chu Ge couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Du must be making moon cakes at home!" β
Ye Guicheng smiled and nodded, there was no need to hurry when he entered the city, he simply got off the horse, and then took Chu Ge next, patted the horse's back comfortingly, and said: "Brother Ma, this journey has been hard for you, wait until you get home, let the little boss buy you the best horse grass!" β
Chu Ge smiled: "Okay, I'll buy it, you pay for it!" β
Ye Return: ...... Little boss, your skin is getting thicker and thicker, do you make it?
The two of them talked and laughed, and walked all the way in the direction of the tavern, but they didn't notice that in each other's mouths, they had already called the tavern home, which was only used as a place to stay.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the tavern closed early, Uncle Du was quick with his hands and feet, and when the hairy crabs sent by the Hua family were still steaming in the stove, the second pot of moon cakes was also out of the oven. There are two pots of moon cakes, one pot is an authentic Shanxi Shenchi moon cake, and the other pot is a crispy moon cake learned from a chef from the south of the Yangtze River in Yanfu, and there is enough dough to make another pot of moon cakes and a large number of various condiments.
Smiling and taking the moon cakes out of the oven to dry, Uncle Du looked at the door from time to time, and then looked at the almost the same dough in the basin, thinking that when Miss and Ye Gongzi came back, he must be very happy to make a pot of moon cakes with him, an old man.
Chu Ge: Heheda, not actually!
Back at the tavern, after a simple change, I ate some mooncakes made by Uncle Du while it was hot to pad my stomach, and the three of them happily started to make the last pot of mooncakes together.
Then Ye Guicheng's strength proved that the disciple of the Tibetan Sword was like the wind-
Unexpectedly, this outstanding sword boy turned out to be a cooking idiot and a kitchen killer.
In this regard, Ye Ershao explained with a stern expression: "After all, the gentleman is far away from cooking. β
Chu Ge looked at the strangely colored fillings he had concocted, and his expression was helpless: "Then why are you in the kitchen again?" β
Ye Guicheng: "If I become a hotel guy for you, I will become a 'villain'." β
Chu Ge: ......
Uncle Du: ......
- The joke is not funny at all.
Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ye Guicheng went out again, this time he went out alone, because when it came to the flowering period of osmanthus flowers, Chu Ge devoted himself to the great cause of winemaking again, and he didn't even ask what Ye Guicheng was going to do.
Ye Guicheng stayed outside for four months before returning.
After coming back, Ye Guicheng still didn't say the reason, and Chu Ge didn't ask, but he faintly noticed that there seemed to be some changes in the other party, but this change was a bit ethereal, and it was not clear anyway.
But fortunately, Chu Ge is not a person who likes to drill the horns of the bull, so he can't figure it out, so he just opened his hand and began to wonder who this middle-aged beautiful uncle in front of him who seemed to be smiling with bad intentions.
