Chapter 64: The Green Building
After resting for a few days, Lin Yuan went to Zhenjiang Mansion during the period, and saw that Shen Lian was busy tapping on the evidence of the past few days and the seized Xue family's property, so Lin Yuan did not bother, greeted Yu Shi and Zhang Li, and took a few people to Yangzhou to relax, and dealt with some hands and tails by the way.
This time I went to Yangzhou, Lin Yuan was still riding a horse, thinking that he was not adaptable, but who would have thought that his body was actually riding, Lin Yuan was regarded as a benefit left by his predecessor, and he quickly adapted to this feeling, because he liked this feeling of galloping,
Lin Yuan has been riding horses these times.
Entering the city in the setting sun, Lin Yuan turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to Zhang Li, and wandered around the street. Speaking of coming from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he Lin Yuan has not had a good meal in Yangzhou.
"Do you two know what to eat in Yangzhou City?" Lin Yuan asked, seeing the two of them shaking their heads blankly, Lin Yuan was a little disappointed, but he still ordered, "Go and inquire." ”
"Yes, young master," Yu Shishi responded.
Although he was a little hungry, because there was nothing urgent, Lin Yuan didn't want to treat his stomach badly, so he simply planned to wait. After a while, Yu Shi returned, but looking at Lin Yuan, he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should tell him what he had heard.
"What are you doing with twisting and pinching, isn't it just a meal?" Lin Yuan frowned and said, "Did you hear that?" ”
"Young master, I inquired." Returning to the world.
"Where?"
"Well, in Chunyan Tower." Yu Shi scratched his head and said.
"Where?" Lin Yuan said in disbelief, how could this name always have a bad premonition.
"Chunyan Tower, just by the river in the south of the city." Yu Shi said.
"Why is this so weird?" Lin Yuan asked.
"It's a green house." Yu Shi said in a low voice.
"In the world, the young master wants to eat, not to eat people." Lin Yuan said with a dark face.
"Young master, I inquired, there are many famous chefs in Yangzhou, but the best one is named Lu Yuan. He was cooking in Chunyan Building. Yu Shi called Qu Dao.
"A few of the people who went to the Qinglou were serious about eating." Lin Yuan was a little speechless.
"This young master's words are wrong, there are really many people who go there for a meal." Frowning at the passers-by who spoke, Lin Yuan asked, "Really?" ”
"If the guests try it, they will know, it is not delicious, there are girls, and they can't suffer losses." Hearing this, Lin Yuan was a little speechless. Glancing at Zhang Li and Yu Shi, he asked uncertainly, "Why don't we try?" ”
"Obey the young master's orders."
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything about the two of them, Lin Yuan said helplessly: "Let's go and see it first, if it's not delicious, we have to dismantle it." ”
On the way to Chunyan Tower, Lin Yuan kept telling himself that he was going to eat, not to see the girl. But as soon as I arrived at the door, I was still frightened by the fat powder from the shop.
"Yo, uncle, you're here, but I haven't seen you for many days, come in." A woman with heavy makeup leaned over, startled Lin Yuan, hurriedly jumped away, and said in a trembling voice: "Is it a human or a ghost?" ”
"How do you speak, isn't the old lady just painting a little thicker, who is she scolding?" The woman scolded.
Patting his chest, Lin Yuan took a breath, calmed his frightened heart, and asked, "Is there a cook from Lu Yuan in your building?" ”
"It's for food again, it's really strange, I didn't come to Qinglou for a girl, but for food." The woman said in a gloomy manner, "Go inside, find a place to sit down by yourself, someone will entertain you." ”
Lin Yuan nodded, motioned to Yu Shi to give the silver, and seeing the silver ingot handed over by Yu Shi, the woman turned her eyes and smiled: "Look at you, why are you so polite." ”
After putting away the silver, the woman shouted loudly into the building: "A distinguished guest, let Lu Yuan be quick with his hands and feet." ”
Lin Yuan, together with Yu Shi and Zhang Li, walked into Chunyan Building, which was different from the outside, and it was a bit of a restaurant when they walked into this building.
"Several, please." A young maid brought the three of them to a table, Yu Shi frowned and looked at the surroundings and asked, "Can you change to a quieter place?" ”
"Yes, a few upstairs, please." The maid took the three of them up to the second floor and entered a room, the style in this room made Lin Yuan realize that this was a green building, looking at the picture of the Spring Palace hanging on the wall, Lin Yuan almost choked himself.
"Take the painting down." Zhang Li said. After a strange glance at the three of them, the maid stepped forward and put the painting away. Lin Yuan slowed down a little and said, "Bring a few dishes from your hand and put a pot of good wine." ”
"Wait a minute." The maid nodded and turned to leave.
"There's a lot of food." Lin Yuan thought about the scene downstairs just now.
"Whether the rumors are false or not, the young master will find out later." Yu Shi said.
The dishes were extremely fast, and the dishes were not bad, and Lin Yuan even found the boiling cabbage that Lan Sheng had made. Qi Dao: "This dish has been spread to Jiangnan?" ”
"I'm afraid the guest is from the capital, right?" The maid laughed.
"How?"
"This dish was also passed on by the merchants who came back from the capital in the past few days, and Master Lu himself copied this dish according to the rumors, but Master Lu said that he was afraid that it was not as good as Master Lansheng's practice." The maid laughed.
Picking up the spoon and tasting it, Lin Yuan nodded and said, "It tastes good, although it is not as good, but it is better to have its own methods." ”
"The guests are good at eating." The maid smiled, "If you have something to say, the little woman is waiting at the door." ”
"Wait." The maid looked back with some confusion, "What else does the guest have to say?" ”
"I'm a little curious, can I meet this Master Lu." Lin Yuan asked.
The maid shook her head and said, "Master Lu is making soup for Miss, and I won't see anyone now." ”
"Make soup for Miss?" The corners of Lin Yuan's eyes twitched, and he secretly scolded himself for wanting to be crooked again, so he had to ask: "Can the tired girl tell me that this Master Lu is so good at cooking, why is he cooking here?" ”
"Of course, it's for Miss." The maid replied, and then saw that the three of them were puzzled, and then remembered that these three people were foreigners, so she explained: "Master Lu Yuanlu didn't cook here before. ”
"Please elaborate." Lin Yuan motioned to Yu Shi to give the reward.
The maid happily put the money away, and then said: "Master Lu originally cooked for a big family in Yangzhou in Spring Garden, once our young lady, that is, Feng Qingxue, the big shopkeeper of Chunyan Building, was invited to perform in Spring Garden. ”
"It's a strange person, but this Lu Yuan said that it was for your young lady to make food, why is it for outsiders now?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"People always have to make money, and Miss said that when Lu Yuan can make money to raise the girls in this building, she will marry Master Lu. Therefore, Master Lu began to cook for outsiders, and over time, the benefactors from Chunyan Mansion gradually decreased, but more and more people ate. The maid explained.
Lin Yuan nodded, it seemed that this Master Lu was an infatuated lover, and signaled that there was no problem for the time being, and the maid retreated.
"Something interesting." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"Young Master, has you taken a fancy to Lu Yuan, the cook?" Yu Shi said curiously.
"Why do you say that?" Lin Yuan was a little puzzled.
"When I went out, Miss Li said that if there are good cooks going south this time, you should pay attention to it, saying that Luoxian Lou still needs it, didn't Miss Li tell you?" Yu Shi wondered.
"Nope." Lin Yuan shook his head, but Yu Shi's words reminded him, but he didn't care about this matter at the moment, and there were other things to deal with in the past few days.
After the three of them were full of wine and food, they were strolling around on the streets of Yangzhou looking at the night scene, although it was already winter, there were still many people on the street, and suddenly felt a cold nose, Lin Yuan looked up, only to see that under the illumination of the roadside lanterns, snowflakes fell from the sky.
"It's snowing." Lin Yuan muttered, "Let's go, let's stay first." ”
Early the next morning, the snow fell all night, a thick layer of snow fell on the ground, stepping on the first snow, Lin Yuan and the three came to a small courtyard, looking at the word 'Willow Garden' on the door, Lin Yuan stepped forward and knocked on the door.
'Squeak~', the door opened a small crack, Liu Qingshui looked at it, saw that it was Lin Yuan, hurriedly opened the door, and said, "I've seen the Duke of Yasukuni, please come in quickly." ”
Lin Yuan nodded and walked into the house, the yard was not big, but it was exquisite. Liu Qingshui said with a smile: "The humble house is like this, which makes the Yasukuni Gong aggrieved." ”
"The view is good, sometimes it's not good when it's big." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
Pouring a cup of hot tea for Lin Yuan, Liu Qingshui asked, "I don't know what happened to the Duke of Yasukuni today?" Liu Qingshui could probably guess why Lin Yuan came here, and he was also a little apprehensive.
Taking a sip of hot tea, Lin Yuan said: "You 'photo studio' have contributed a lot in this operation, if it weren't for you, it would take a lot of twists and turns for the court to do things, but you have also made a lot of mistakes in the past, and the merits and demerits are offset, and I have played the court to blame the past." ”
"Thank you, sir." Liu Qingshui knew that this contribution was purely to wash away the past, and he didn't expect to negotiate terms with the imperial court through this operation.
"One more thing." Lin Yuan said, Liu Qingshui listened, and his heart mentioned, "What are your plans in the future, what are your plans?" Blowing the tea leaves in the cup, Lin Yuan took a sip and looked at Liu Qingshui.
"Since the court is not to blame in the past, we will disperse and will not do this kind of thing in the future." Liu Qingshui smiled bitterly.
When Lin Yuan heard this, he frowned and said, "Impossible." As soon as the words fell, Zhang Li on the side suddenly looked at the screen not far away and shouted, "Who?" The horizontal knife came out of the sheath, and a knife slashed towards the screen, and in an instant, the screen split in half, and a sound of metal staggering came, and Fu Qiuxue held a dagger to hold the attacking horizontal knife.
Lin Yuan frowned and looked over there, Liu Qingshui was shocked and hurriedly said, "Qiu Xue, stop it." ”
Glaring at Zhang Li, Fu Qiuxue put away the knife and retreated, Zhang Li was just about to step forward, Lin Yuan's voice came: "Zhang Li, come back." ”
Glancing at Liu Qingshui, Lin Yuan asked, "Who is this?" ”
"Back to the Duke of Yasukuni, it was my apprentice with the egret, I was inadvertently saved back then, and I was withdrawn, but there was no malice, and I still hope for Grandpa Haihan." Liu Qingshui said.
Lin Yuan thought for a while, didn't say anything and waved his hand, Liu Qingshui nodded and looked at Fu Qiuxue and said, "You go out first, I have important things to discuss with the Yasukuni Gong." ”
Fu Qiuxue nodded, and glanced at Zhang Li before leaving. Seeing Fu Qiuxue walk out, Liu Qingshui breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Yuan and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, but I don't agree with what you just said." ”
"Please also ask Grandpa to make it clear." Liu Qingshui said. He naturally knew that the imperial court was not to blame for the past, which did not mean that he was relieved that they were leaving, and it seemed that it was better to hear what the Yasukuni Gong had planned, and this might be an opportunity.
