Chapter Twenty-Four: Fortress Building
Yuan Qingshu giggled twice and changed back to the way before, Chu Lingke sat in front of him and looked at him speechlessly, could it be that he really had a mad disease as Chang's mother said? Yulong was frightened by his sudden laughter, got up and walked over, squatted on the ground, looked at Yuan Qingshu for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to pull the mass of objects in his arms, who knew that as soon as his hand touched him, he suddenly became irritable, his eyes under the long hair revealed hostility, and his mouth whined, like some kind of animal guarding his territory
Yulong looked at Chu Lingke and asked for his opinion, Chu Lingke bowed slightly, "Yulong, let's go back" After speaking, he stood up and saluted Yuan Qingshu in the corner, "Senior, rest well, come to visit him in the next day" After that, he took out a jade pendant from his body and put it beside him, beckoned Yulong and left the broken house
After walking out of the hut, Yulong looked back in three steps and two steps, pondered for a moment and asked, "Shizi, why are we leaving?" That clay man is acting strangely, what if he is fooling us? ”
Chu Lingke looked at the path in front of him and squinted his eyes and walked slowly, "Did you just see his hands? Although he hugged the thing in his arms tightly, but also with the strength of his arm, the tendons should have been broken, Chang's mother was right, but I don't know what mistake he made to end up in such a field... ”
"Yulong, after we return to the Thorn Mansion, you will quietly sneak out to find some local reliable people to learn about the affairs of the year, if they refuse to tell us some silver taels, remember not to cause trouble."
"Don't worry! “
Walking out of the alley, the sun was dazzling, and Yulong's stomach gurgled and touched his nose embarrassedly, "Don't laugh at me, I still can't get used to the food in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, plus the king's thorn history..." Yulong wants to say that the food here is not bad, but every time he eats, he sees Wang Qiwen eating fat with a mouth full of oil, and he has no appetite at all
"Hehe, it's hard for you to follow me here, so I'll take you to Fengze Tower in front of me to try it!"
"Hehe, it's troublesome for the prince" Yulong smiled but remembered something embarrassing and asked, "It's just that the silver of the prince was handed over to that Chang's mother?" This... Aren't we going to eat a bully meal? ”
Chu Lingke smiled proudly, raised his left arm, and slowly took out a bag from his sleeve with his right hand?! When the jade dragon saw it, he laughed, "I see! Look at my brain! The prince carries the young lady's embroidered bag with him, how can he lack silver taels! ”
"Naturally, how can this be handed over to someone else?" Reaching out and stroking the poor kitten, "Let's go! I'm in for a treat! "Okay!" The jade dragon happily ran forward in small steps, which was very different from the stern appearance of his usual days
Fengze Building can be said to be the most luxurious restaurant in Huizhou City, and its gorgeous appearance alone is comparable to the Juxing Pavilion of the Great Beam, Xiao Er warmly invited them to enter and shouted, "A private room - the guest officer goes up to the second floor from here" Chu Lingke stepped on the solid wood stairs and walked up step by step, and after reaching the second floor, there was a frequent passing until the end of another place The visual inspection is about 100 meters or more. On both sides of the road are wooden doors carved with carved birds, and signs are hung on the doors with the names of each room.
"What kind of tea can the guest order?" Xiao Er opened the door and led them to sit on the cushions
Chu Lingke also came to this place for the first time to eat, and he didn't know what the rules were, so he asked: "After hearing about the rain buds produced in Huizhou, after drinking, it is like being in the depths of the bamboo forest after the rain, which is refreshing."
Xiao Er hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes! Wait a minute! Walked to the door and shouted in his throat, "Sanxing private room--a pot of rain buds after spring--" After shouting, he returned to the room and presented a stack of signs on the table with a tray "Guest, these are the signature dishes of our store, after the selection is done, hang the brand on the red line on the head, and then pull the bell next to it to automatically cross down, in the same way, after the kitchen is ready, the bell will be shaken, and the guest officer will see the food you ordered in the raw table on the left. After taking it, it will automatically descend until the last dish is served. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a very crisp bell ringing, and the raw table on the left side of the desk slowly rose, and soon saw a tray with a small blue and white pot, and several small tea cups were placed next to the small pot. Yulong carefully took out the tray and put it on the desk, and the raw platform slowly lowered.
"Shizi, this is the first time I've seen this way of serving! What an eye-opener! ”
Chu Lingke picked up a small pot and poured a light under his nose to smell it, a faint fragrance of tea came to his nose, and the fragrance of tea with the fragrance after the rain was really fresh and refined outside the world! After a sip, he put down the teacup with a smile and took out a silver ingot from the bag and threw it to Xiao Er. I also want to buy some back to my sister."
Xiao Er accepted the money, and the smile on his face was about to stretch his face, "Hey, the guest officer is the right person! Others really don't know where to buy this spring rain bud! This rain bud after spring is the best of the rain buds, it must be grown after the first rain after spring to have such quality, and then use a special baking technique to make it when harvesting in autumn! ”
"The spring rain buds of our Fengze Building are all purchased in a tea house, and the owner of that family is kind and kind, if the guest officer goes, he will definitely be able to buy it!"
After hearing this, Chu Lingke nodded and asked, "I don't know what the teahouse I just said is..." "It's on the east side of Hongqiao, and the guest officer will know when he arrives."
"So, thank you" Then Xiao Er will retreat, if the guest officer has any doubts, just pull Zi Ling on the right side" After speaking, Xiao Er retreated.
Yulong had already recognized all the signs clearly, and was putting up a sign on the red line, Chu Lingke looked at the menu on it, and couldn't help but help his forehead, smiled helplessly, took a few vegetarian dishes from the tray and hung them up.
Holding the tea cup in his right hand, holding his chin in his left hand, looking down through the round window, the view here is good, although it is on the second floor, but you can also see the distant view, the people downstairs are coming and going, and the small vendors are constantly shouting, "Candy seller!" It's not delicious, don't pay for it! 'Brother, brother, I want candy people to eat!' 'No! I was beaten by my mother last time, and I said it would be a secret! 'Well, my teeth don't hurt anymore! You can eat candy man! ’
"Hehe, I don't know how that girl is doing, if Liang Qi still dares to bully her, wait for me to go back and not break his legs!" Yulong doesn't know how to taste tea, for him, drinking tea and drinking water are almost just a taste, afraid of wasting this kind of good tea, and deliberately ordered a small pot of daughter Hongzheng rubbed his hands excitedly, when he heard Chu Lingke say, 'Break the leg', so frightened that he almost knocked over the small pot in front of him
"What? So frizzy? But which girl did you just take a fancy to? Tell me about this world, go back and prepare a dowry for you, so that you can marry vigorously" Chu Lingke smiled, took a sip of tea, and looked at him with raised eyebrows
"What a girl... Shizi joked again" Yulong blushed and said it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with what Shizi said just now? What does it mean to prepare a dowry for him so that he can marry vigorously? The jade dragon who reacted shouted loudly, "The prince was taken by the emperor? What a joke! No, no, no! I'm going to talk to my lord when I go back! ”
"Hey, Yulong, don't tell your father, has this son ever said such a thing?!" Chu Lingke almost squirted out a sip of tea and hurriedly held down the jade dragon, at this time the sound of the bell sounded, and the shengtai slowly came up, and a variety of dishes with full color and fragrance appeared in front of him, only to see a shengtai come up, but he didn't know that there were so many shengtai rising at the same time, Chu Lingke and Yulong stood for a moment before they reacted and put them on the table one by one. Including Jade Dragon's daughter Red...
Chu Lingke didn't stop him when he saw his daughter Hong, but just told him not to drink too much and make a mistake, Yulong patted his chest, "Shizi, don't worry! Jade Dragon can't do anything else, drinking to the point where it can be compared! I want to be in the village back then..." Seeing him get farther and farther away, Chu Lingke smiled speechlessly, "Didn't you say you're hungry? If you don't eat soon, it won't taste good when it gets cold later! ”
Sure enough, this word is better than any threatening words, Yulong was immediately attracted by the food, picked up a piece of fat and thin Dongpo meat and put it in his mouth, the whole person was happy, and he ate three pieces in a row before saying, "No wonder Wang Tingshi is so fat and strong, it turns out that it is all caused by food!" If I were to be fattened like that, I could be like that! ”
Chu Lingke also took a bite of it, it was indeed a good job, fat but not greasy, but he still preferred light food... If I used to drink and eat meat like the jade dragon... Thinking about it, he said to the jade dragon who was feasting on the food in front of him, "If you are fat like that, don't follow this world, in the future, when this world goes out, he will be laughed at and followed by a fat man" This is naturally a joke, scaring him
The small stewed jade hooves on the jade dragon's chopsticks fell on the table with a snap, and his big eyes looked at him with watery eyes, and the oil stains on the corners of his mouth were reflective. … Jade Dragon doesn't want to leave the world! ”
"Hey, this son is just joking, I don't like you to do anything! A man with good martial arts and a good figure like you, let this world find it, eat it, eat it, eat it" Hearing this, the jade dragon picked up the jade hooves on the table with peace of mind and gnawed it, Chu Lingke picked up the teacup and quietly watched him eat, and gradually thought far away, when he came, according to the intelligence, it was He Hu who wanted to dominate the Quartet when he met with the Quartet, and he had been in Huizhou for three days, why didn't he see a trace?
Wang Qiwen alone is just a pawn of him, and there are some means to use Wang Qiwen to do all the bad things in Huizhou and disregard people's lives and secretly collude with this person to rebel! Now the choice is a little difficult, whether to lure the snake out of the hole or wait for the heavens? Another way is to start with Wang Qiwen, but he is very vigilant from the fact that his home is full of guards...
"The Son? The Son? The jade dragon's voice called him back
What's the matter? But not enough to eat? Chu Lingke looked down at the pile of bones on the table and asked
Yulong shook his hand embarrassedly, "No, no, I just remembered that I gave Shizi a cushion in that broken house... Now..." I looked down at the middle coat I only had, "I didn't pay attention when I came, but now that I'm full, my stomach is up, and I remember that my shirt is still there."
Chu Lingke recalled that there was indeed such a thing, but he had something to do when he returned to the Imperial History Mansion, so he said, "Is it feasible for you to go alone?" Yulong probably didn't expect this answer, and nodded for a moment, "Yes, yes, it's just that clay man..."
What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that he will bite you? Chu Lingke was a little surprised, Yulong shouldn't be afraid, why was he so nervous and afraid of Senior Yuan, which was much different from his usual majesty
"How... How... That son of the world should be careful alone, I will go back when I go! ”
After the two settled the account, they separated, the jade dragon to the west and he to the east. Walking carelessly all the way with something in his heart, he didn't even pay attention to the Imperial History Mansion, but fortunately, the family guarding the door recognized him and called him "Chu Shizi" Only then did he come back to his senses, smiled at them and walked into the compound, the pavilion in the courtyard came from the laughter, Chu Lingke was used to looking at it and saw a petite figure lying on the ground and didn't know what to do
The figure! That's Yingniang! Why did they treat her like that?
Chu Lingke's eyebrows furrowed, and the cloud-chasing boots under his feet stepped out, and the three women in the pavilion laughed on their backs and immediately returned to their Chu Chu lovely appearance after noticing him, among them, the woman in the green dress stepped forward and half-leaned on him and asked softly, "Lang Jun is the prince of Chu?" The slave family has long heard the rumors of Chu Shizi, and today I saw a really handsome man! ”
The figure on the ground trembled suddenly, the hair on the side was crooked, the broken hair fell from the ear, the fingers that grabbed the ground were white and almost buckled into the ground, and the woman in red saw that she didn't move and kicked it up and scolded, "What? You don't like the food we give you, do you? Don't eat it yet! ”
Ying Niang's apricot eyes were slightly red, and a line of tears flowed down, closed her eyes, leaned her head close, and approached the leftovers on the ground stained with dirt and smelly smell, and when the tip of her nose had vaguely touched, her arms were suddenly held tightly by a pair of powerful hands and helped her up!
