Chapter 12 Negotiation of Divorce

Ruan Xiaoyan sat in the carriage, listening to the creaking sound of the wheels, and kept moving forward. From time to time, she flicked the curtain and looked curiously at the scenery outside.

"Chunrui, why is it so lively outside today, what's going on?" Ruan Xiaoyan asked as she moved the curtain of the car.

"Miss, today is a market, so there are more people coming and going."

"Then how long will it take for us to get to the mansion of the Great Prince?"

"There's still more than an hour."

"Isn't that boring?"

"It's okay, Miss, you can take a look at the lively scene on the street and see if there is anything fun to relieve yourself."

"Stop, I'm going to go out and have a look." Ruan Xiaoyan suddenly said to the coachman.

"No, miss, what should I do if I delay my trip?"

"It's okay, we'll just walk around for a while, it won't take too long." Saying that, Ruan Xiaoyan was about to get out of the car, and the driver naturally didn't dare not listen.

Ruan Xiaoyan stood on this street, and instantly felt that the air was so fresh to breathe, although she could still enter and leave Ruan's mansion freely, but the taste of being watched was not so good.

Looking at the streets lined with ancient clean-up and food, I was still a little excited, and I was a little looking forward to everything strange here.

"Chunrui, what's the name of the alley this day?"

"This is three steps street."

"Three-step street." Ruan Xiaoyan whispered, "Then do you say that there are still Erbu Street and Sibu Street?" ”

"Miss, you're so funny, this street is named for the convenience of people."

"Okay, then I'll go to other streets and alleys when I have time." Ruan Xiaoyan walked on this street very happily, and she was very happy in her heart, which was much better than staying alone in the house.

Ruan Xiaoyan continued to walk forward, looking at a few stalls with earrings and hairpins, and went to look through them to see if there was anything he particularly liked.

Then I saw that there was a shop, and the difference between this store was that the front of the store was very crowded, and it was very popular.

The owner of this shop is a relatively young-looking woman, and the pastries in her mouth are all ingredients from the palace, and the prices are very reasonable.

Ruan Xiaoyan walked towards this shop, and what he saw was the words "Beiqi Pastry Workshop" reflected in the golden plaque, this shop has a total of three floors, and as for what kind of facilities are inside, I have not visited it for the time being.

"Boss, what pastry at this time?" Ruan Xiaoyan remembered the crowd and asked, pointing to one of the crispy pastries.

"This is the osmanthus cake you are talking about, you can taste it first, the taste is absolutely superior." With that, the boss handed her a small piece of pastry.

Ruan Xiaoyan, as a chef, must know some of these recipes, Ruan Xiaoyan can feel the rich smell of osmanthus cake in his mouth, and he can roughly guess what the ingredients are: glutinous rice flour and white sugar are just right blended together, and corn oil and osmanthus powder are also transpired by high fire to become very delicate.

"It's really delicious, the boss gave me other flavors to try." Ruan Xiaoyan felt in her heart that she had found a street where she could taste food.

Among the various delicacies, what surprised Ruan Xiaoyan the most was that there was a "three-color horseshoe cake", which is a famous snack in Guangdong, but I didn't expect it to appear here.

Horseshoe is rich in vitamins B and C, and also has the effect of clearing heat, dispelling dampness and detoxifying, and its medicinal value is also relatively high.

The so-called "three-color water chestnut cake" is made from pumpkin and purple sweet potato, peeled and diced, steamed and pressed into a puree, and then put in sugar water.

Finally, you also need water chestnut flour and coconut milk, then put it in the pot, one layer is cooked, and then put another layer, one of the cut sides is cut into slices and it is completed.

Ruan Xiaoyan is very good at making this, but now he doesn't have the recipe in his hand, so he has to omit it for the time being, take it back and study it to see what the difference is in the pastries in the palace.

"Miss, it's not too early for us to go, or it's not good to let the eldest prince wait." Chunrui reminded him.

"This is the money left over from last time, so let's use it to pay first." Chunrui handed over all the money to Ruan Xiaoyan.

At this point, Ruan Xiaoyan suddenly thought of the man who said last time that he wanted to pay himself, but now he doesn't have a penny, so it seems that he has been fooled.

But that's the way things are, nothing is set in stone, so it's always good to keep your mind at ease!

Ruan Xiaoyan continued to walk in this street and alley, and suddenly saw the plaque of "Flower Fragrance", but what he didn't expect was that the spiritual enjoyment of ancient people was also very rich.

"Let's go in here and have a look." Ruan Xiaoyan took Chunrui's hand and was about to go in, but before Chunrui could react, he had already reached the other side of the street.

"Miss, I remember you didn't like shopping that much, did you? Why are you thinking about shopping today? Chunrui was still very confused.

"You just think I'm a different personality, after all, people always change with time or some internal and external factors." Chunrui nodded, feeling in her heart that it was good for Miss to be as happy as she is now, and she should have an open-minded attitude.

Ruan Xiaoyan looked at the store in a daze, the store is all surrounded by flowers, and the storefront is equivalent to a "balcony garden": there are plant-fixed climbing scaffolds, hoop flower supports, stretch fences, and the fragrance of jasmine can make people feel refreshed.

"When did this store come about? Ruan Xiaoyan asked.

"Miss, I don't know about this, I haven't seen such a scene, it's the first time." Chunrui is also thinking back to when this shop was opened.

Ruan Xiaoyan looked up, and the words "flower fragrance" could be faintly seen in the place where the vines of the flowers spread.

Subsequently, Ruan Xiaoyan and Chunrui walked in, there were large and small potted plants inside, and the types of flowers were also very varied.

"Girl, what do you need? On the left-hand side are plants that can kill bacteria: lemon, osmanthus, rose, lily of the valley; On the right-hand side are refreshing plants: a touch of incense, violets, and divine vanilla. ”

Ruan Xiaoyan looked at these plants according to her instructions, and her favorite was the pale pink rose, "I want this!" ”

"Okay, wait a minute."

"Miss, should you buy a gift for the eldest prince?"

"Yes, after all, we also hope that he can take the initiative to cancel this wedding this time, then I will buy something else."

"I don't know if there was haze in the weather in ancient times, but I think it's better to buy some ivy to eliminate harmful gases." Ruan Xiaoyan said to herself.

"Miss, what do you say?"

"It's nothing, by the way, I bought this ivy too." Chunrui settled everything with the store.
