Chapter 551: Old Knowledge
The old mansion in Yong'an Fang still stood there quietly, compared to when Wang Yuan lived here, there was no difference except that the long grass in the yard was a little deeper, and the branches and leaves of the trees were a little more luxuriant.
After unlocking the house and entering the house, the room was extremely dim, and a musty smell of people who had not lived in it for a long time came to the nostrils, and several rats were frightened and rushed in front of the two of them, hiding in a dark corner.
"Erlang, did you live here before?" Ah Luo covered her nose with her hand and frowned.
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, it was here that I met Twelve Niang, and she was also a relative in the West Wing." Lan Xinhui also lived here for a while, by the way, the big sister also lived here for a while. Later, I bought a house in Jing'anfang, and no one lived here anymore. ”
Ah Luo walked around the room, looked up at the cobwebs in the corners, the dusty furniture in the left and right wings, and sighed: "Your days are really bitter. I don't know how you got through it. ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "People are very patient, and they will adapt to what kind of life they are in." Besides, I was just a small square man at the time, what could I not bear? It's lucky to have a place to be covered by tiles. It's better than sleeping on the streets and suffering from wind, frost, rain and snow. ”
Ah Luo nodded and smiled: "That's what I said." This house should be repaired and let people clean it, after all, it is Erlang's residence, and if it is put like this, if no one lives in it, it will become the home of rats, snakes and insects. If no one lives in it for a long time, the house will be dilapidated. Look at the corners of the east wing, there are traces of rain in several places, and if no one repairs it, I am afraid that it will collapse in a few years. ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "If you fall, you will fall, do you still miss here?" ”
A Luo said: "I'll do this, you don't have to worry about it." Go back and say to Daddy Qin, and let him bring someone back from time to time to tidy up. It's also a souvenir to keep it. ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "Whatever you want." There's nothing to see here, and the smell is terrible. I'm hungry after shopping for a long time, how about I take you to drink a bowl of glutinous soup? At that time, I was in Yong'an Fang, and if I could drink a bowl of glutinous soup and eat a few sesame sugar cakes, it would be a big meal, and I still have a lot of appetite when I think about it now. ”
Ah Luo nodded and said, "Okay, take me to eat." ”
The two of them left the courtyard of the old house and re-entered the street, and walked along the street to the intersection of the center of Yong'an Fang. In the distance, I saw the small restaurant on the opposite side of the cross street. In the steaming white steam, Mrs. Wen's chubby figure is still so familiar, shouting at passers-by in a loud voice to solicit business.
Wang Yuan took A Luo's hand and crossed the street to the small shop, and shouted loudly: "Boss, come two bowls of glutinous soup and eight sesame sugar cakes." ”
Aunt Wen smiled at Wang Yuan and A Luo and said, "Oh, two distinguished guests are here, please come to the private room." I'll send it to you in a moment. ”
Wang Yuan didn't seem to recognize herself when she saw her expression, and he didn't reveal it, so he took A Luo and walked inside. The layout of the room has not changed, the so-called private room is just a single room separated by straw mats, and the couch is full of footprints that others have stepped on. Wang Yuan didn't care, and wiped it with a cloth towel to let Ah Luo sit in a clean place, while he sat opposite Ah Luo.
After a while, Mrs. Wen came in with two bowls of steaming glutinous soup and eight hot sesame cakes, placed them on the small table between the two, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Gongzi uses it slowly, and the soup and sesame cakes in the small shop are even more delicious when eaten hot." ”
Ah Luo nodded and smiled: "Thank you, auntie." ”
Aunt Wen smiled and said: "No thanks, the two distinguished fairy-like characters must be from a big family." If you eat too much fish and meat, you will get tired, right? It's also good to come to the shop for a change of taste. It's not a slave blow, you will definitely think it's delicious when you eat it, my Aunt Wen's small shop is a time-honored brand in Yong'an Fang. ”
A Luo nodded with a smile, Aunt Wen also felt that she had talked a little too much, bowed down and went out, before going out, her eyes swept towards Wang Yuan, who was eating with her head covered, her brows furrowed, and there was a blank look on her face.
Wang Yuan sighed and drank the soup, the taste of the soup remained the same, and it was still so delicious in Wang Yuan's opinion. The sesame cookcake is also fragrant and crispy, and when you bite into it, the sugar juice inside overflows, which is very delicious and tight.
Ah Luo didn't think there was anything special about this dumpling soup and sugar cakes, but she knew that these foods were old tastes for Wang Yuan, and Wang Yuan ate them sweetly, so she also felt sweet. The two of them talked while eating, and after a while, two bowls of glutinous soup and eight cooking cakes were eaten. Wang Yuan drank his own bowl, and also drank half a bowl for A Luo. Wang Yuan also ate six of the eight cooking cakes, and his face was full of satisfaction.
"It's so delicious, it's still the same taste, I thought it wouldn't taste good when I eat it now, but it's still so delicious. I should buy some packing and take it back to Chengdu for San Lang and my sister to taste, they haven't eaten it for a long time. It's a pity that when I arrived in Chengdu, I was afraid that the soup and sugar cakes could not be eaten. Wang Yuan sighed.
Ah Luo handed over his silk handkerchief to Wang Yuan to wipe his mouth, and laughed softly: "Then why bother? Third Brother Huang didn't have a chance to return to the capital? Next time he comes back and tastes it himself. ”
Wang Yuan said: "What you are talking about, are you full?" When we're full, we'll continue shopping, and I'll take you to the West Market to have a look. In the afternoon, the West Market opens, and it's also very fun. ”
A Luo nodded in agreement, Wang Yuan got up and pulled A Luo out, Wang Yuan took out a copper coin to pay the bill, and gave Aunt Wen an extra fifty yuan. Aunt Wen kept staring at Wang Yuan's face, and when Wang Yuan and A Luo paid for you to leave, Aunt Wen suddenly shouted, "Aren't you the second lang of the Wang family?" My confused brain always feels very familiar, and it took me a long time to remember. Yes, yes, you are the Wang Erlang of the Wang family. ”
Since Wang Yuan was recognized, he no longer concealed it, and arched his hand: "Aunt Wen, Wang Yuan is polite." ”
After receiving Wang Yuan's confirmation, Aunt Wen was even more overjoyed, and shouted repeatedly: "Oh, if it's really the Erlang of the Wang family, I heard that you have released the festival envoy, this is my Yong'an Fang's first ** big man." It's rare that you still want to come back and take a look. Oh, this one must be your wife. Look at this, look at this style. Ay? No, when you got married, I did it, not this one. ”
Wang Yuan said embarrassedly: "Aunt Wen, this one is also my wife." ”
Aunt Wen suddenly said: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, such a high official, there is naturally not only one lady." ”
Aunt Wen looked at Wang Yuan and A Luo with a smile for a while, and suddenly remembered something, turned around and shouted on the street: "Come and see, everyone, Wang Erlang, who is the noble envoy of Yong'an Fang, has come back to see everyone." ”
Wang Yuan was taken aback, he didn't want to provoke too many people, he deliberately hung out with A Luo's private clothes, but he didn't want to be recognized by too many people. But Aunt Wen's voice immediately attracted the neighbors on the street, and after a while, hundreds of people gathered, surrounding Wang Yuan and A Luo on the street in front of the shop.
"It's really the Erlang of the Wang family, ho, I heard that the official who released the envoy of the Jiannan Festival. led the troops to Nanzhao to win a big battle, and it was very tight. ”
"Sure enough, he is a son of a promising family, and it has only been less than two years, and he has already risen to the top. When his parents died, he was depressed for a while. ”
"Shh, at this time, you are talking about this, the so-called dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix, their old Wang family is a big family, and no matter how broken it is, it can make a comeback. Other people's species are different, and you still turn over old accounts. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. That's true. ”
“……”
The crowd gathered around and discussed, and more and more people watched the excitement. Wang Yuan raised his hands and waved his greetings to the villagers. At the same time, it is also a signal for relatives to intervene. Tan Ping, who was in civilian clothes, squeezed into the crowd with five or six plainclothes guards, loudly scolding the people to get out of the way, and rushed out of the crowd with Wang Yuan and Princess A Luo and went straight out of the gate of Yong'an Fang.
The people still did not disperse, gathered around and looked at the direction where Wang Yuan and the others left, and talked about Wang Yuan's old things in Yong'an Fang. Several elders turned over the deeds of the ancestors of the Wang family, and then they dispersed contentedly.
Wang Yuan and A Luo escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the crowd, rushed out of the west gate of Yong'an Fang, and passed two people's squares along the Yong'an River to the north, and then smiled and slowed down.
Ah Luo smiled: "Interesting, really interesting, these people are really fun." ”
Wang Yuan rolled his eyes and said: "It's not fun at all, being surrounded by them like watching monkeys, what's so fun?" ”
A Luo said: "That's it, take me to the West Market, the West Market must be more fun." ”
