Chapter Seventy-Three: The Lord is Poor
I went to West Street against the cold wind, and the people who sold and bought breakfast arrived, and the morning market was very lively.
Sun Siyuan entered a restaurant, there were seven or eight people sitting in the store, she pulled Zhao Youqian to sit inside, ordered two bowls of green vegetables and lean pork porridge, looked at Zhao Youqian with a blank eye, and asked him to buy Aunt Liu's green vegetables and mushroom pies.
Zhao Youqian bought two green vegetable and shiitake mushroom pies and two kelp shrimp pies. Aunt Liu knew that Sun Siyuan loved shrimp, so she specially recommended it to Zhao Youqian. This kelp was brought back from the sea by merchants, and the price was much more expensive than the greens.
There was a fire in the house, which was much warmer than outside, and Sun Siyuan only felt that this meal was very heartwarming. Green vegetable porridge, shrimp pie, accompanied by husband, cold wind does not invade.
A meal, eat slowly, people in the store come and go, and the store does not rush. After eating and sitting for a while, the two of them left.
At this time, the sun is shining on the body, and it is warmer than when I first went out. I didn't ride a horse when I came out, so the two of them slowly paced back together.
"Huh, Kong Fangyuan?" Far away, Sun Siyuan saw the lover of her dreams, oh no, the life-saving benefactor appeared on Yipin Street. "Didn't he come to Yipin Street?" Sun Siyuan was secretly puzzled, but she didn't care so much. "If you have money, let's go, let's thank him, and invite him to a meal by the way." Last time she was rescued by Kong Fangyuan, she still hadn't been able to thank her properly.
"Forehead......" Zhao Youqian was not happy, but he didn't say anything against it, and the two walked a few steps quickly and followed Kong Fangyuan.
"Kong Gongzi stays." Sun Siyuan greeted Kong Fangyuan. When Kong Fangyuan and the little maid heard this, they looked back, isn't this the princess and princess they just met at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?
"See the prince, see the princess." Kong Fangyuan arched his hand, and the little guy was about to kneel, but Zhao Youqian hurriedly pulled him up. "Don't be polite!" In this crowded street, his identity should not be publicized. The little guy had been by Kong Fangyuan's side for a long time, he knew a little about it, and he didn't say much, he bowed to Zhao Youqian and his wife, and stood behind Kong Fangyuan.
"I wonder why the princess stayed?" Kong Fangyuan was a little puzzled.
Sun Siyuan hurriedly said: "A few days ago, I was on South Street and was almost injured by a carriage, but it was Kong Gongzi who saved me. ”
Kong Fangyuan thought for a moment and remembered this matter: "The effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about. "It's just a rescue, it turned out to be the princess, when I saw Sun Siyuan in the palace, he hadn't been on the right number.
"For you, it is a great kindness to me, so that I will not be able to avoid unwarranted disasters, I don't want to thank you, this restaurant in the capital, you choose a place and I will invite you, or go to my house, have the money to cook but first-class?" Sun Siyuan's face was full of smiles, and her expression was very sincere.
Zhao Youqian raised his eyebrows and asked him to cook for a potential rival?
Kong Fangyuan didn't answer immediately, he was the emperor's henchman, so he naturally knew the emperor's attitude towards Zhao Youqian, if he was too close to them, I was afraid that it would cause the emperor to be jealous?
To go or not to go?
But as soon as he raised his eyes and saw Zhao Youqian's implicit disgusted expression, his face suddenly changed, with a somewhat flattering smile: "Do I have the opportunity to eat the dishes cooked by the prince himself?" The words held Zhao Youqian high, but revealed that he was willing to go to Zhao Youqian's mansion to eat.
Sun Siyuan smiled even more: "What is the prince who is not the prince, go, go to our house, please have a good meal, it is delicious to cook vegetables if you have money." ”
Without asking Zhao Youqian's wishes at all, Sun Siyuan took Kong Fangyuan home, and the little guy was sent to Kong's house by Kong Fangyuan, and the little guy was very reluctant when he left: My lord, have you forgotten that you came to Kong Mansion to do business?
Sun Siyuan lacked heart, didn't ask, Kong Fangyuan didn't say, and the three of them entered the Zhao Mansion like this.
There are many dishes that are always prepared at home, and they are stored in the cellar, and they can be cooked when they are taken out. Sun Siyuan asked the housekeeper Zhuang to give Zhao Youqian to light the fire, and he accompanied Kong Fangyuan to speak, but Zhao Youqian was not allowed, so he had to ask Sun Siyuan to burn the fire, and the Zhuang housekeeper was kicked out to "accompany the guests".
Steward Zhuang and Kong Fangyuan knew each other, after all, Steward Zhuang served the emperor when he was in the palace. Although there is a huge disparity in official positions, the meeting is polite. I haven't seen each other for many days, but I met in Zhao's mansion, and the two of them can talk about a lot of things.
"Rich, are you jealous?" When the fire was burning, Sun Siyuan asked Zhao Youqian, who was circling around the pot, badly. Zhao Youqian ignored her, she stopped for a while, and then asked, "Are you jealous, rich?" ”
"Yes, I'm just jealous, are you satisfied?" Zhao Youqian was holding his breath in his heart, but he couldn't get angry when Sun Siyuan was so aggressive, so he picked up half a chicken and chopped it.
"Hey, you have money, don't be like this......" Sun Siyuan was like a little mouse who had stolen sesame oil, laughing very thief, and her eyes were laughing like two little beans.
Rich, why are you so cute, I like it so much!
Although Zhao Youqian had no objection to cooking, he deliberately tossed around and made eight big dishes, all of which were time-consuming and laborious, and some of them took a quarter of an hour or two just to pickle the side dishes. Sun Siyuan looked at Zhao Youqian busy, didn't notice his malice, and felt that he did a very hard job and deserved to be commended.
Kong Fangyuan in the living room almost didn't go hungry, he was summoned by the emperor early in the morning, and then he was sent to West Street, and he didn't walk a few steps after getting off the carriage, he ran into Sun Siyuan. Originally, he wanted to go back to Kong's house to eat the rice cooked by his grandmother, but he didn't buy anything to satisfy his hunger when he passed by the dim sum shop. When I arrived at this Zhao Mansion, I entertained a few bowls of tea, but there was still no boiled water for tea leaves......
"Steward Zhuang, is the prince very poor?" After drinking the third bowl of cold white boiling, Kong Fangyuan couldn't help but ask. He thought that if Zhao was rich and poor, he could make a statement to the emperor, after all, they were brothers, don't let the prince live too hard.
"Master Kong laughed, the emperor gave a hundred acres of Huangzhuang, and there is an income in the house every day, but the lady, that is, the princess, doesn't like to drink tea." So explained the housekeeper.
In fact, Sun Siyuan really doesn't like to drink tea, but he and Zhao have the money to drink, and there are several packs of good tea in this house. But Zhao Youqian ordered to entertain Kong Fangyuan, and he could only use boiled water.
Saving a little is a little bit!
waited with a blank eye, until Steward Zhuang felt that there was really nothing to talk about with Kong Fangyuan, and Zhao Youqian finally appeared and announced that it was time to eat. Kong Fangyuan hurriedly followed Steward Zhuang to the dinner table, and his steps were so hurried that he couldn't see the slightest gentleman's temperament that was as gentle as jade.
Eight dishes, a table is full, Sun Siyuan feels that Zhao Youqian really gives himself a long face, this table of dishes, how face-saving!
She didn't know that Kong Fangyuan was already extremely hungry at this time, and she couldn't tell what she was eating and what it tasted like!
Zhao Youqian also deliberately brought a jar of wine over, ready to pay tribute to Kong Fangyuan, in fact, he "cured" Kong Fangyuan, but unexpectedly, as soon as Kong Fangyuan sat down, he grabbed a bowl of white rice and sandwiched a chopstick dish: "That, I'm welcome!" ”
Sun Siyuan watched the image of the lover of her dream crumble in front of her: there was a bowl of white rice on the table, which was rich for me, rich, give it to me, serve it!
