Chapter 057: Missing Like an Ant
The trio strolled down the main street of Tao County.
After being taught a lesson, Lu Tianjing became more and more polite and gentle to Ye Tingyao, and took the initiative to order Quanfu to help Ye Tingyao carry the blanket, Ye Tingyao wanted to refuse, but it was really heavy all the way, so he picked a worthless blanket and handed it to Quanfu.
Seeing a delicate-looking inn from a distance, Lu Tianjing said to Ye Tingyao, "It is fate to meet and intersect with the girl and walk all the way, I know that the girl's life is not easy and it is difficult to make money, so I am willing to bear all the expenses of the girl's journey to Hangzhou County, including all the expenses of entering the merchant ship in Beijing, and please don't refuse." ”
Ye Tingyao blinked her eyes, she was reluctant to refuse such a good thing, a dozen taels of silver would take her hard work to make thousands of pastries, and for the royal people, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Ye Tingyao clenched her fists with both hands, "The son is so sincere, if the little girl refuses and lives up to the son's good intentions, it will be unkind." ”
Lu Tianjing bowed slightly, and the corners of his delicate eyes and eyebrows were smiling.
When he arrived at the inn, the shopkeeper saw Lu Tianjing in a brocade dress, and he couldn't see his teeth when he smiled, but when he saw Ye Tingyao again, his eyes were full of embarrassment, his face was covered, and the coarse cloth clothes on his body were not as decent as the servants around the Chinese costume boy, I don't know where the Chinese costume boy picked it up called Huazi.
"Childe, where is the hotel, but the first-class Tianzi room?" The shopkeeper bent down and smiled at Lu Tianjing.
Ye Tingyao's eyes were shining, and Lu Tianjing said that he would bear her expenses along the way, so she could also live in a Tianzi room?
Lu Tianjing gently tapped his palm with a fan, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and raised his head after a while, "Before the girl on the canopy boat spoke, I was empowered, and I really couldn't experience the real suffering all the way, I wanted to live in Datongpu, but I took into account how inconvenient it was for Miss Mo to live in Datongpu, so I ......"
is worthy of being a master and servant for many years, and he has a good heart, Quan Fu immediately said to the shopkeeper, "Come to three local houses, well, it's good to be inferior." ”
The corners of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched, and the rag was thrown on his shoulder, not as polite as the first, "Inferior? Then you don't have to go upstairs, turn left, the three rooms on the left side of the chase shop are empty, go by yourself, there is a small guy waiting for the door. ”
Ye Tingyao's face darkened, it's not that she looks down on the royal brother, but people who have never suffered hardships are easy to think about hardships simply, and they are inferior? It's worse than what she lived in Lianzhou City last night.
When she arrived at the inferior house, Ye Tingyao looked around, but the beds, tables, and chairs were dirty, and there were a few cobwebs in the corners and window lattices.
As she expected, the excitement on Lu Tianjing's face was gone, replaced by disbelief, hesitation, and even regret.
Ye Tingyao vaguely heard Quanfu whispering to ask his master if he wanted to change to a Tianzi room, but Brother Gongzi shook his head with difficulty. Ye Tingyao's mouth covered under the veil couldn't close with a smile, dare to change? It's still a man?
The three of them also solved dinner at the inn, Ye Tingyao happily fulfilled her promise to repay Lu Tianjing with food, she didn't want Lu Tianjing to be too embarrassed and forced herself, after all, he was a dignified son, it was not easy to have this realization, and he would really be the emperor in the future, and he would love the people like a son in the future.
Quanfu was responsible for paying for the dishes, and Ye Tingyao borrowed the inn kitchen from the shopkeeper and fried a few good dishes by himself.
The food in the small inn in Taoxian County was full of fragrant food, and in the face of the food cooked by Ye Tingyao, Lu Tianjing's appetite was full of joy, but in the capital where Ye Tingyao was getting closer and closer, Lu Tianqi, the noble prince of Prince Mu's mansion, was gradually widening......
"Take it down! Something made, it's too unpalatable. ”
Lu Tianqi's toothache, he was busy all day outside, in order to fill his stomach can only eat the unpalatable public meal, when he returned home in the evening, he specially asked the kitchen to make a squirrel mandarin fish, the cook actually told him that he had never heard of squirrel mandarin fish, and asked if he could braise the mandarin fish! How could he invite such a skilled, knowledgeable chef from Prince Mu's mansion?!
He finally described to the cook what a squirrel mandarin fish was, and the result was! The mandarin fish is cut into thorns, and the outer layer is blown like a hard nail, but the inside can still be seen bloodshot.
Lu Tianqi really wanted to drive the cook away and come back with a good cook.
Who can go home......
Lu Tianqi looked at the landscape paintings hanging on the wall in a daze, the mountains stretched, the Baqu River was around, and the scenery was somewhat similar to the Lizhuang Village that was burned down......
"Master, let's eat as much as you want." Chen Feng said in embarrassment, almost a bite of the food on the dining table was not moved, and the master's face was even worse than when he was injured and recuperating in Lizhuang Village.
"You can eat it." Lu Tianqi glared at Chen Feng angrily.
Chen Feng lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, after returning to Beijing, the ingredients were much richer than in Lizhuang Village, but the taste was far inferior to that made by Miss Mo Yao, the master lived in Lizhuang Village for two months, and her mouth and stomach were spoiled by Miss Mo Yao.
"What happened to Uncle Mo's family in the southern suburbs." After Lu Tianqi said goodbye to the Mo family on the day he entered Beijing, he never visited again.
Chen Feng bowed and said, "Master, rest assured, the Mo family is very good and diligent, as soon as he took over Zhuangzi, he took care of Zhuangzi in an orderly manner, and Uncle Mo also picked a few of the most fertile black soil to grow fruits and vegetables, saying that it was specially for Prince Mu's mansion to eat." ”
Lu Tian prayed for his jaw, "Uncle Mo has a heart." By the way, is there any news from Lianzhou County? ”
He left two guards to look for Mo Yao near Lizhuang Village, although he knew that there was little hope, he couldn't leave it alone.
Chen Feng shook his head helplessly, he knew that although the master didn't say it, he felt uncomfortable. He didn't know if the master only missed Miss Mo Yao's cooking skills, or if he cared about Miss Mo Yao, maybe even the master himself didn't know the answer.
The study was quiet, and Lu Tianqi's clenched fist suddenly slammed on the table, "Chen Feng, you ordered the secret guard to thoroughly investigate Lianzhou County, I don't believe that a big living person disappeared like this." ”
Chen Feng's face changed in shock, "Master, the secret guards have all returned to Beijing, and they are using the secret guards to find Miss Mo, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
Lu Tianqi's eyes were cold, and the frightened Chen Feng knelt down suddenly, where did he dare to question his master's order, "Yes, the little one immediately ordered the secret guard to go to Lianzhou County to find Miss Mo Yao." ”
Seeing Chen Feng retreat, Lu Tianqi raised his head slightly and sighed, is it too late to send out the secret guards now?
Lu Tianqi also felt that he was crazy, he actually sent a carefully cultivated secret guard to find a stupid mountain village laywoman who could only cook and cook? And he himself said before that Mo Yao is not a prisoner, and he must respect Mo Yao's decision, and he can't let the secret guards search for him......
Now, Lu Tianqi clenched his heart, his thoughts were like ants, constantly gnawing at his heart, which was as powerful as vigilance, full of holes, and he didn't know when it would collapse.
Lu Tianqi leaned back on the low couch and closed his eyes to rest, when an announcement came from the verandah, followed by the creaking of the door being pushed open.
"Qi'er," a woman with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a delicate and unassuming and luxurious dress walked into the house, and saw Lu Tianqi with her eyebrows locked, she was very distressed.
The woman slowly sat down beside Lu Tianqi, raised her hand and gently smoothed Lu Tianqi's ink-dyed sideburns......
