Chapter 53: Meet a Nobleman!
"Here we go, let's get off." Lianhua helped Lin Zhiyu down, followed by Li Chengyan and Fei Qing.
"Hmm! ~" Fei Qing stretched his waist, he was not used to making carriages, he felt that the whole person was imprisoned in it, and he had been sitting with a sore back.
"Miss, we're here, but it's ......" Lianhua looked at the closed door and said helplessly to Lin Zhiyu.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhiyu wondered why he didn't get out of the car when he had already arrived at the place.
"Miss, the store is not open." Fei Qing also looked helpless. "One of you two comes out early to pick it up, and the other comes out early to wait. We are now half an hour early. ”
"That'...... Let's just wait. Lin Zhiyu didn't expect Li Chengyan to come out so early, and it's a little funny to think about it now.
Several people have been waiting at the door of the store to open, Lin Zhiyu looked at the drawings drawn, and agreed on the materials with the boss, and at this time there were more people on the street.
"Then let's go to dinner." Lin Zhiyu asked Li Chengyan for their opinions.
"Okay." Li Chengyan is naturally what Lin Zhiyu says, and Fei Qing has no opinion.
"This is Linglong Pavilion, the first time I heard this name, I thought it was a jewelry seller, but later I learned that it was a restaurant." Lin Zhiyu remembered that she had been here several times in her previous life, and now she was almost forgetting the taste.
"Hahaha! I know this shop, when we came back, the general said that he would treat us to dinner, and at that time there was a person who said that he wanted to come here, and our general thought the name was too girly, so he took us to another one. Fei Qing said as she squeezed her eyebrows at Li Chengyan.
In fact, at that time, it was Fei Qing who proposed to come to Linglong Pavilion, but Li Chengyan felt that the name was girly and didn't bring them here, but didn't he come this time?
"Girly? Linglong Pavilion, Linglong Dice An Red Bean. It's not a girl, but it's normal for a talented general like the general not to like this. Lin Zhiyu thought that Fei Qing simply remembered this matter, and he didn't take it to heart.
Fei Qing snickered at Li Chengyan with his eyes, Li Chengyan was expressionless, turned his head to look at Fei Qing, and was so frightened that Fei Qing didn't dare to snicker anymore with a straight face.
"Let's go in, I heard a few days ago that his family has a new dish, so we can try it together." Lin Zhiyu didn't notice the small movements between the two, and was led into the Linglong Pavilion by Lianhua.
"Four people please! Do you want a private room or downstairs? "The four people in the small two rooms of the welcoming store came in and hurried over to entertain them.
"A private room." Lin Zhiyu said.
"Okay, a private room upstairs, please!" Probably the reception in the private room is different from the reception downstairs, and another shop Xiaoer came to take them up.
Li Chengyan followed behind Lin Zhiyu and lowered his head slightly. Here are all dignitaries, and he now wears a mask for fear of being recognized.
The person who happened to be one step ahead of them heard the shouting of the shopkeeper and glanced back.
General Lee?
The man in fancy clothes raised his eyebrows, covered his face with a fan, and followed the shopkeeper into another private room.
After entering the private room, the man in fancy clothes did not sit down, and the people who followed him did not dare to sit down and stand next to him. The man in the fancy dress opened the door a small crack, looked out through the crack in the door, and stared at them until the four of them entered the private room.
"The Emperor...... Master. What are you doing here? The person who followed him was a little rickety, and asked the man in Chinese clothes in a shrill voice.
The man put away the fan and put it on his lips, "Shh, you've lost, be careful when you talk outside." Old Fu, guess who I saw? ”
Lao Fu looked helpless, he still remembered to change his words, this master is good, just let others change his self-claim has not changed.
"Master, you have to call yourself 'me' outside, or everyone else knows what you say." Lao Fu dragged the man in Chinese clothes down from the crack of the door, and the dignified monarch of a country peeked at others on the crack of the door, what would others say when they saw it?
"I ...... I know. "The man in the Chinese costume is the current saint Zhou Hongye, that is, the man who was committed to defending the territory and opening up the territory as soon as he took office, and later used his strength to block the mouth of the people.
However, few people know that he is like this in private, when he first became the emperor, he always called himself 'I', and every time he was corrected by Lao Fu, now he feels that he is still a little unaccustomed to suddenly changing his words.
"Sir, who do you see?" Lao Fu didn't use the shopkeeper outside to give the cloth vegetables, but put all the dishes on the table and tried them one by one with silver needles.
"I just saw General Li outside!" Zhou Hongye said mysteriously.
Lao Fu followed the first emperor when he was young, and he watched Zhou Hongye grow up, if it wasn't for Lao Fu's life guarantee when the first emperor just died, Zhou Hongye might not have sat on the dragon chair so easily.
"This glazed pavilion is the largest restaurant in the city, and it is not unusual to see anyone. Master, you better hurry up and eat, we have to go back after eating! Lao Fu tried them one by one with a silver needle, and put out a small plate of each dish to taste it himself.
"I've already tried the silver needle, so I don't have to try again. Besides, I am out of the palace this time, only you know, how can someone poison me? Zhou Hongye snatched the plate from Lao Fu's hand.
"Lao Fu, you don't know, it's not strange for me to just see General Li, but he came in with a girl!" Zhou Hongye said while eating, he didn't have an imperial demeanor at all.
Lao Fu saw that Zhou Hongye was really unceremonious with him, he didn't have a fight at all, and he didn't know whether he was happy or helpless.
"It's very unusual for General Li to follow a girl." Lao Fu nodded, who in the entire court doesn't know that Li Chengyan is a clear stream, and he is one in his twenties, not to mention marrying a wife and not even accepting a concubine.
And the people who followed him were always his subordinates, and he couldn't even see half of the maid's shadow. Many people in the DPRK and China privately speculated that General Li had a habit of breaking his sleeves.
If you want to say who is most anxious about Li Chengyan's marriage, except for Prince Yong, who is half of Li Chengyan's father, it is Zhou Hongye.
When Zhou Hongye was still the crown prince, he went to the battlefield with Li Chengyan and killed the enemy. On the battlefield, Li Chengyan never regarded him as a prince, he was what he should be, and they also had a few years of brotherhood.
Moreover, not long after Zhou Hongye ascended the throne, he wanted to expand his territory, and the whole dynasty was against it at that time, and even Prince Yong felt that it was unlikely. Only Li Chengyan personally asked for the commander, and in just one year, he won a country of equal strength.
"Lao Fu, do you think it's time for General Li to marry a wife? It's a pity that I didn't see what that girl looked like just now, if it was according to Li Chengyan's aesthetics, ......" Zhou Hongye was a little cold, and quickly shook his head and waved the picture in his mind.
"Master, don't worry about other people's affairs, a few days ago, the court and the central government asked you to choose a concubine, but you just dragged it over. If you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth, you have to choose this concubine no matter what. Lao Fu persuaded hard, but Zhou Hongye just lowered his head to eat and stopped talking.
After a while, Zhou Hongye put down his chopsticks, "Lao Fu, you see that Prince Yong has married such a wife in his life, and he has not accepted a single concubine, and he still has both children and is happy." Look at Prime Minister Lin again, although he raised a concubine, it was not voluntary, and he ended up with his wife. I want to learn from them, can't I? ”
"Okay, I'm out to play today, so let's not talk about these things. There is no one else here, Lao Fu, you can also sit down and eat. Zhou Hongye waved his hand and refused to say anything more about it.
"This is not in accordance with the rules, the old slave does not dare." Lao Fu knows that no matter how good Zhou Hongye is to him, the rules are the rules and cannot be broken.
Zhou Hongye felt bored, and suddenly thought of something, "Lao Fu, since you don't eat, go and help me do something, I'm too bored to be alone." ”
Lao Fu didn't think it was a good thing, but he still listened to it.
"This ...... Will this work? Lao Fu hesitated.
"Okay! Just do as I say, and here's it for you. Zhou Hongye took another bite of food and urged Lao Fu to leave.
In another private room, Lin Zhiyu and Li Chengyan were also tasting the dishes.
"The special feature of this glazed pavilion is that each dish is served in a glazed bowl. When I was a child, I came here once, and I thought the glass cup here was so beautiful that I had to ask my father to buy it for me. Lin Zhiyu smiled and shook his head, he was really naughty when he was young.
Li Chengyan felt moved when he thought of the picture of Lin Zhiyu, who was a few days younger than now, asking for a glass cup. "Your father must have bought it for you, right?" After all, no one should be willing to refuse such a lovely person's request.
"Well, then my father brought me back a few glass cups within a few days, and I was happy for a few days, and then for nearly half a year, I used the glass cups to eat." Lin Zhiyu recalled the interesting things when he was a child, and slowly opened his heart.
A few people were chatting happily inside, unaware that there was a person outside who stopped them from their next dish.
"What are you doing here?" The shopkeeper who was about to knock on the door was stopped by Lao Fu.
Lao Fu really didn't expect that he would do such a thing one day, so he pulled the shopkeeper aside and whispered to him: "You hide this wrench in the rice for a while, you must remember that the rice with the wrench should be given to the person wearing the mask inside." ”
Lao Fu has been in the palace for a long time, and none of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are at his command, if he is in the palace, he only needs to say something like now.
But now it's outside the palace, and Xiao Er, the shopkeeper with the dishes, looks at Lao Fu like a fool. "Are you alright? It's okay, don't mess around. ”
Lao Fu hurriedly grabbed the shopkeeper and touched himself back and forth, he hadn't found someone to do anything for many years and had to stuff money. Fortunately, he came out with Zhou Hongye today with the money bag, and Lao Fu put the money bag into the store.
"Little brother, do me a favor. The bowl with the wrench must be given to the one with the mask. ”
The shopkeeper weighed the money bag, but he didn't expect that there were so many in it, so he immediately agreed to it.
According to Lao Fu's instructions, the shopkeeper gave the bowl with a wrench to Li Chengyan, and then withdrew.
The shopkeeper took advantage of the fact that no one around opened the money bag and wanted to check it, but he didn't expect that when he opened it, it was glittering gold. He had never seen so much money, so he immediately sealed the money bag and stuffed it into his pocket when he saw that there was no one around.
Li Chengyan felt that there was something wrong with the shopkeeper who had just served the food, as if he was looking at him on purpose, and picked one of the bowls and put it in front of him.
Li Chengyan kept an eye on it, pulled it a few times with chopsticks, and sure enough, he touched a hard thing.
Li Chengyan took advantage of the fact that several people were not paying attention, and used chopsticks to open the rice above and saw the jade wrench below.
Originally, Zhou Hongye thought that Li Chengyan saw his jade wrench finger, and recognized it as his thing at a glance, and then went out to find it, and Lao Fu took Li Chengyan into his private room.
However, Zhou Hongye thought very well, but he ignored one point, that is, Li Chengyan never paid attention to who brought what, so he didn't recognize this jade wrench finger at all.
Li Chengyan didn't say anything, since this person deliberately bought the shopkeeper to put the jade wrench in his bowl, he didn't want others to know.
Li Chengyan was afraid that this was an enemy and would accidentally injure Lin Zhiyu, so he found an excuse to come out alone.
As soon as he came out of the private room, he felt that someone was watching him, and Li Chengyan symbolically took a few steps forward and heard the footsteps of the people behind him.
