Chapter Twenty-Three: The River Lantern Festival (Part II)

After Sima Ming said this, he almost bit off his tongue, and finally realized what it means to be stunned once after living so big.

Cang Xuan chuckled, "Tease you, if you really have something, you will do it." ”

The corners of Sima Ming's mouth twitched slightly, he actually did it on purpose, and he actually took the bait so easily.

Sima Ming really has nothing to do, although he is a Hou Ye, but he is just a Hou Ye who only takes a lot of money and does nothing, there are many things that are handled by local officials, and only important things are made a plan, so that she can see what she means.

Sima Ming is really idle, Cangxuan is the owner of the southeast tilt, although he is not in charge of things, but the collection and sale of paintings have to go through his hands, although the southeast tilt has not been built for a long time, but the name is still there, and some people rely on Cangxuan's natural temperament, guess which official and noble man is from Kyoto, so there are not a few people who come here, and some people spend thousands of dollars just to ask him for a painting.

Sima Ming sat on the sidelines and watched dumbfounded, she really didn't see that the southeast tilt business was so good a few days ago, was it because she didn't sit in the southeast tilt all day, she saw a pair of feet appear in her sight, Sima Ming looked up at Cangxuan, "Your southeast tilt business has always been so good?" ”

"Nope." Cang Xuan took the tea handed over by Ayu, "I've been driving the southeast tilt for almost two months, and business is good today." ”

Even he himself didn't expect that one of his paintings would be rushed to raise the price.

"Today? These people are taking the wrong medicine. "If you hadn't taken the wrong medicine, you wouldn't have been able to sell an ordinary painting for a sky-high price.

"Maybe someone wants to use them to confuse the public." Although I don't understand what Cangyu wants to do, I'm afraid this morning's strangeness is not groundless.

"Huh?" Sima Ming didn't understand.

"Someone rushes to send money, and if you don't accept it, you don't live up to their good intentions." Cang Xuan finished speaking with a smile and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

"You're not taking any money?" The price offered by those people was even covetous to Sima Ming.

"I'm tired." Although Cang Xuan couldn't say a few words to deal with that group of people, he had been paying attention to this Sima Ming, but he didn't understand why Cang Yu was so obsessed with catching Sima Ming, he didn't think that Cang Yu would want to go to the court with Sima Ming to confront him in the court, "Go out to eat, or go upstairs?" ”

"Aren't you tired? Let's go upstairs. ”

Cang Xuan guessed that she would say this, and chuckled, "You go up first, I'll go to the back kitchen and give an order, and then come up." ”

"Hmm."

As soon as Sima Ming walked to the stairs, there were a few people who wanted to follow, Sima Ming had just gone up to the staircase, and suddenly there was a muffled sound behind him, Sima Ming saw Cangxuan's back and was slightly stunned, didn't he go to the back kitchen? When did it come up?

Cang Xuan said coldly to the few men who fell downstairs: "The second floor is not open to the public. ”

The men smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we saw that boy go up, and I thought that there was calligraphy and painting upstairs, and I offended." ”

The man clutched his chest, and after speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "Go." ”

Sima Ming noticed that the piece that the person was holding seemed to have a mark imprinted with dust, a bit like a shoe print, and Sima Ming had an idea in his mind, these people would not be kicked down by Cangxuan.

Cang Xuan turned around and called her, "Let's go, I may have to go up and wait." ”

"Hmm, okay."

Sima Ming ate for the first time in the southeast, how can she eat the level of the chef in the southeast, not inferior to the level of Qingqi's first floor and the Xingxing Building, compared to the chefs in her mansion, the chefs in her mansion can be thrown off for eighteen streets, "Brother Cangxuan, can you borrow me for a few days." ”

"Borrow a cook?" It was the first time for Cang Xuan to see someone borrowing a cook, and he knew that Sima Ming was not just because he liked this person's cooking skills, but simply borrowed it to eat for a few days, and asked, "Why borrow a cook?" ”

"I think my chef may be short of a master." Sima Ming said very depressedly.

Cang Xuan sneered, looked at Sima Ming and said, "If you really want to borrow it, talk to Uncle Zhao, and he will arrange it for you." ”

Sima Ming suddenly thought of the crux of the question: "I borrowed your cook, what do you eat?" ”

"It's just a cook, and it's not cutting off my food."

"Then I'll talk to the shopkeeper later." She borrowed the magic chef, but I don't know if the chef in his house can go out smoothly, but anyway, she is benevolent and righteous.

Cang Yu listened to the news from Qing Qi that he had failed to catch Sima Ming several times, and he was angry, "Cang Xuan, you have been away from the dynasty for so many years, do you have to go against me as soon as you enter the WTO?" In that case, don't blame me for ignoring brotherhood. ”

The two made an appointment on the first day, Sima Ming went to the southeast to meet with Cangxuan and then went to the west of the city together, as soon as he left the house, he found a carriage parked at the door, and the carriage driver saw that someone came out, so he ushered in, "Master Hou, the owner is waiting for you in the carriage." ”

Sima Ming was slightly stunned, she finally understood what Cangxuan said about not having to bother, and her feelings were that she did not agree to go to the southeast to join her, but planned to come to the Hou Mansion to pick him up in person.

Sima Ming got into the carriage, sat opposite Cangxuan, and said, "It turns out that you said yesterday that you don't need to bother, so that's what you meant." ”

"To go to the south of the city, you have to pass through the Yong'an Hou Mansion, why bother to go far and let you run more?"

Sima Ming actually found that what Cang Xuan said was quite reasonable, she really didn't need to go the opposite way to the southeast, anyway, it was a direction, but why didn't this person say it yesterday, in order to surprise herself?

Cang Xuan glanced at her, made a cup of tea and put it in front of Sima Ming, the table and cups on the carriage were filled with magnets, even if the cup was placed on the table, no matter how big the bump was, the teacups and other things on the table would not tilt.

Sima Ming couldn't figure it out, and suddenly a fragrance entered the spleen, and Sima Ming knew so many kinds of precious tea, and this tea...."Longjing after the rain? ”

"Hmm."

"This doesn't seem to be the time of year to produce this kind of tea." Sima Ming doesn't drink much tea, but only prefers Longjing after the rain, Longjing after the rain is different from other teas, the tea that it brews out of the tea, clear to the bottom, the entrance is fragrant, and there is a sweet aftertaste, but it is a pity that the annual production is not much, and the price of selling every two is high and scary, if it is not rich or expensive, it really can't afford to drink this tea.

"At the beginning of April, a friend gave me some, I don't usually drink much, I guess you'll like it, so I soaked it in dew." Cang Xuan looked at Sima Ming, who took a sip, and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"Well, it tastes great." Sima Ming was not familiar with the tea ceremony, and if she really wanted her to say something to describe this tea, she really didn't know how to speak.

"If you like it, it's fine." Cang Xuan said with a smile.

There is still a distance between the south of the city and the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and the two of them have already drunk a pot of tea by then.
