Guo Cailing's words fell, and the scene suddenly quieted down.

Bai Molou withdrew his gaze from the city wall, stayed on Guo Cailing's body for a while, and then landed on Xu Mingyuan's body, and the corners of his mouth slightly pulled up to reveal his inner feelings.

Zhou Binjie, who was pinching the teacup with two fingers, could stuff an egg with his mouth open, and there was only the word admiration in his eyes when he looked at Xu Mingyuan.

Xu Mingyuan was also stunned, but with the experience of the last time, this time it was not too gaffe, he laughed dryly, picked up the teacup and took a big sip, then looked at Guo Cailing with an expectant face, and couldn't bear to say anything serious, so he could only speak: "Granny Li is a master of Shu embroidery, if Xiao Lingling follows her to study hard, maybe she can really go to Chang'an Shangyi Bureau in the future." ”

"Really? It turned out that Granny Li didn't lie to me. Guo Cailing said excitedly: "Then I must study hard in the future, so that I can go to Chang'an as soon as possible." After speaking, he got up and walked to Liu Sanniang and whispered something to her.

Zhou Binjie saw that the little girl got up, and hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, gave Xu Mingyuan a thumbs up, leaned over his head and whispered: "Brother Yuan, I'm really convinced of you." Don't talk about the female devil, you can take her to the streets and come back alive, and now even a ten-year-old girl has to promise you, my admiration is like the surging river. ”

Bai Molou put the jade fan in his hand on the table, picked up the teacup, and spit out two words in a cold voice: "Second." ”

"Second the argument is a fart." Xu Mingyuan pushed away Zhou Binjie's head, rolled his eyes at Bai Molou, sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "This popularity is too high, I can't help it, the little girl is not sensible, she will understand when she grows up in the future." ”

Bai Molou took a sip of tea, tilted his head slightly, and no longer answered Xu Mingyuan's rather narcissistic words. Zhou Binjie nodded approvingly, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, why don't you teach me a few tricks." “

Xu Mingyuan, Zhou Binjie, and Bai Molou chatted, and after Liu Sanniang helped the two guests serve noodles, she also took out the fish and meat that had been processed before and began to cook.

If you want to say that the vegetables are delicious, it is really not that Xu Mingyuan deliberately praised Liu Sanniang to say that, Liu Sanniang's vegetables are cooked well, and it is not a secret in Dongcheng. If any family can invite Liu Sanniang to be the chef for a happy event, it will be happier than inviting the chef of the restaurant.

It was getting dark, and the noodle stall was no longer empty, so Guo Cailing helped light an oil lamp on the table and on the stove. The table is already full of all kinds of dishes, such as braised crucian carp, pig's trotters in sauce, beef in sauce, green pepper and bitter gourd, as well as crisp and refreshing cucumbers and other small dishes.

All kinds of dishes are full of flavor and flavor, even Zhou Binjie couldn't help swallowing his saliva, if Xu Mingyuan hadn't said that he would wait for Guo Dongcheng, I'm afraid he would have to start eating. Even Bai Molou also received the jade fan, and looked at the braised crucian carp in front of him several times.

It didn't take long for Guo Dongcheng, who came back from the yamen and went home first to change into his regular clothes, and was also a little surprised to see Bai Molou and Zhou Binjie sitting at the same table as Xu Mingyuan. However, in the past two days, he has also seen that the relationship between the three of them is irreversible, so he was also quickly relieved.

Guo Dongcheng put the two jars of rice wine in his hand on the table, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said with a smile: "Mingyuan, you don't say anything in advance when you bring your friends, I already knew that you would let your aunt buy two more dishes." ”

"Uncle Guo, sit down quickly, isn't this all a table of dishes, if you buy a few more dishes, you won't be able to put it on hold." Xu Mingyuan smiled and pulled away the stool beside him.

"I'll go back and get two jars of wine, you guys start eating first, where are these two jars enough to drink, and then your aunt will have to ask Lingling to get it, this black light is blind, the road is not easy to walk." Guo Dongcheng smiled and waved his hand, and after speaking, he walked over and said a few words to Liu Sanniang, and went home to get the wine.

Xu Mingyuan saw that there were no more customers in the stall, so he also got up and moved a square table next to him, and the two tables were put together.

Liu Sanniang had just cooked the last plate of mapo tofu, and when she brought it over to see Xu Mingyuan moving the table, she also said with a smile: "What are you doing moving the table, just sit down with the four of you, and Lingling and I will sit on the table next to you and eat." ”

"Then what's going on, auntie, if that's the case, I won't dare to bring my friends next time." Xu Mingyuan shook his head with a smile and said.

"That's it, Auntie, you can also sit and eat." Zhou Binjie also helped put some of the dishes on the table on another table, and said with a smile: "What Brother Yuan said is really not wrong at all, I don't think the dishes in Zuixiaolou are so fragrant." ”

Liu Sanniang put down the dishes in her hand with a smile, and said to Guo Cailing, who was helping to light the fire: "Lingling, come over and eat." ”

Guo Cailing answered, poured a scoop of water into the pot, walked over, and sat down on the stool beside Xu Mingyuan. Liu Sanniang also sat down next to Lingling.

Zhou Binjie glanced at Xu Mingyuan, and his fingers moved, as if asking if he could start.

Liu Sanniang seemed to see what Zhou Binjie meant, so she said with a smile: "Let's start eating first, his uncle will come later." ”

"Okay, then don't wait, but I'm hungry." Xu Mingyuan smiled, stretched out his chopsticks and first sandwiched her favorite sauce pig's trotters for Guo Cailing, and then put two slices of sauce beef into his mouth, chewed it, and nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Mingyuan moved, Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou were not polite, Zhou Binjie first sandwiched a sauce pig's trotters, thinking that it was inconvenient to hold the chopsticks, so he grabbed it directly. And Bai Molou sandwiched the braised crucian carp that he had been watching for a long time in front of him, and after eating, he couldn't help but nod and continue to put down chopsticks.

After a while, Guo Dongcheng, who brought two more jars of rice wine, also came, opened one jar first and handed it to Xu Mingyuan, and he himself opened one jar and sat next to Baimo Lou. As soon as the sealing mud of the wine jar was opened, a rich aroma of wine came to the face, and even Bai Molou's eyes lit up.

"These two jars were brewed in the year when your aunt gave birth to Lingling, and a few jars were buried, and a few jars have been left unattended, and I am not willing to drink them. Today, Mingyuan took the hospital exam, and if he was on the list, he would have to go to Chang'an, so he had to take it out and drink it. Guo Dongcheng poured a cup for Bai Molou and himself, and said with a smile.

Xu Mingyuan also filled a glass for Zhou Binjie and himself, picked up the wine glass and said, "Uncle, aunt, you have taken such good care of me in the past few years, I salute you." ”

Guo Dongcheng and Liu Sanniang looked at each other and smiled, Liu Sanniang picked up the teacup, replaced the wine with tea, and drank a cup with Xu Mingyuan and Guo Dongcheng.

Next, the few people also toasted to each other, but they drank happily.

Bai Molou has a natural temperament, so he has never said anything, but Guo Dongcheng toasted with him, and he also got to the bottom of it without the slightest pretentiousness. And it seems that I like the dishes cooked by Liu Sanniang today, and people who don't use chopsticks in the restaurant on weekdays are almost finished eating a braised crucian carp in front of them.

Zhou Binjie is self-cooked, one Uncle Guo and Aunt Liu's, more cordial than Xu Mingyuan, and said that he will often come to eat in the future, anyway, he doesn't have to go to Chang'an. Zhou Binjie had already piled up a pile of pig's trotter bones in his hand, and he glanced at the little girl Guo Cailing, retracted the hand handed to the last pig's trotter in a sneer, and turned to the braised crucian carp in front of Bai Molou.

The wine was drunk for more than an hour before it ended, and then Liu Sanniang fried a few side dishes with wine, and the four of them actually drank the four jars of wine.

Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou's alcohol consumption was slightly worse, and after drinking more than half a jar, they almost fell down, Xu Mingyuan and Guo Dongcheng's alcohol consumption was much better, and then they simply changed the big bowl, drank their own jar, and drank the remaining half of their jar.

After drinking the last bowl of wine, Xu Mingyuan staggered to his feet, pushed Zhou Binjie, and then pushed Bai Molou. Seeing that neither of them responded, he called to Wei Tong and Zhou Binjie's coachman who were sitting outside the stall, and asked them to help Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou to the car, so that they could go back first.

Wei Tong and the coachman refused to serve the table, and Liu Sanniang also gave them a bowl of noodles each, so that they would not be hungry. Both of them had kung fu, and after nodding at Xu Mingyuan, they each picked up their masters and walked towards the carriage.

After watching the four of them walk away, Xu Mingyuan drank the herbal tea handed by Guo Cailing, rubbed the little girl's hair with a smile, and said to Liu Sanniang: "Auntie, I'll go back first, and the list will be released in three days, if you can be on the list, the first one will tell you." ”

Liu Sanniang nodded with a smile and said, "You, you will definitely be on the list." It's okay if you don't make the list, your aunt and your uncle both know that you have talent to learn, but it's only been a month in the academy, even if you don't make the list, don't be discouraged. ”

Xu Mingyuan nodded with a smile, said goodbye to Guo Dongcheng, who was already drunk, and walked a little staggering outside.

"Brother Mingyuan, be careful on the road." Guo Cailing's crisp voice sounded in the back.

Xu Mingyuan waved his hand, answered, walked to the donkey cart, sat on the wheel, leaned on the carriage, and said to Lao Huang: "Lao Huang, go home." ”

Lao Huang stepped forward with his legs raised, and the donkey cart drove slowly on Dongcheng Street, where no one moved.

The long street, which has no moonlight, is extraordinarily quiet, and the dim light that faintly shines through the windows facing the street is dotted with darkness. The creaking sound of the donkey cart was heard far along the long street, and the barking of dogs occasionally seemed to have been transmitted back to Yinghe on the street.

The donkey cart left Shuzhou City and went along the post road towards Micang Mountain. If it weren't for Lao Huang to recognize the way, Xu Mingyuan might not be able to drive the donkey cart back.

Leaning on the carriage, feeling the cool breeze that was not there during the day, Xu Mingyuan's wine was also dispersed a lot.

After the hospital examination is over today, Xu Mingyuan may have to go to Chang'an to participate in the Spring Festival, if he can pass the first, he may not be able to come back for several years. Bai Molou will definitely be on the list, but Zhou Binjie is not ready to be on the list at all, and he should stay in Shuzhou City in the future.

Although Liu Sanniang and Guo Dongcheng's family are still worry-free, if something happens, with Guo Dongcheng's quick identity, it is still not enough to deal with it.

Zhou Binjie is pure and good-natured, at least he treats his friends enough to be commendable, if he can help some, no one in Shuzhou City can bully their family.

In Xu Mingyuan's view, how people treat me, I will treat him doubly.
