Chapter 189: Assassination?
I saw that among the endless streams of pedestrians, a girl as elegant as Youlan stood there quietly, looking at Princess Bao'an with a little smile in her big eyes, but Zhao Yan always felt that the other party's eyes glanced at him from time to time, which made him feel a little empty-hearted, because this girl was Ouyang Wanling, who was killed by herself and couldn't get married, and by Ouyang Wanling's side, there was also a big-eyed girl, as if she had seen it last time in the West Garden, but Zhao Yan didn't know the other party's name.
"Sister Wanling, why are you here, what a coincidence!" Princess Shoukang, who has a lively personality, saw Ouyang Wanling, and immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, and then Princess Bao'an and Cao Ying also stepped forward to speak, but Xue Ning'er stood and did not move, after all, Ouyang Wanling is everyone's lady, and she is just a line, Cao Ying They can not care about her identity, but it does not mean that other noble women do not care, if she comes up at this time, it is likely to be boring.
"We've been looking for Sister Shu Ning for a long time, today the sisters of our late marriage club gathered in the south of the Royal Street, and I originally sent someone to the Junwang Mansion to inform you today, but I didn't expect the person who sent it to say, Sister Shu Ning, you went out early, I guess you must have come to the Royal Street to see the lights, so I brought someone to look for it, but I didn't expect to really find you." Ouyang Wanling was also very pleased.
Although the Late Marriage Club was first initiated by Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang, because the two of them live outside the city and rarely come to the city, the activities in the Late Marriage Club are usually organized by Ouyang Wanling, you must know that she is the backbone member of the Late Marriage Club, of course, Ouyang Wanling was also forced. Otherwise, at her age, I am afraid she should have married a long time ago.
"There is still an event in the club today, great, let's go!" Princess Shoukang likes to be lively the most, as soon as she heard that the sisters in the society were going to get together for activities, she was naturally very excited, and pulled Ouyang Wanling to the south, Cao Ying and Princess Bao'an also happily followed, but Zhao Yan and Xue Ning'er naturally could only follow forward.
Huilou is located at the south end of Imperial Street, and it is also one of the 72 main stores in Tokyo City. It is said that the sake and food here are delicious. Most of the customers who have eaten here have become repeat customers, so it was originally called Huitoulou, but later the owner felt that the name of the restaurant was a bit vulgar, so he changed it to Huilou.
When Zhao Yan and the others came back to the building. Now the entire restaurant has been wrapped up by Ouyang Wanling, a noble girl. There were quite a few guards standing outside the restaurant. No men were allowed inside, and even the guys in the restaurant were replaced by maids brought by various families, in front of the railing on the third floor. There are many aristocratic women standing, climbing high and overlooking the beautiful scenery of Tokyo City, and from time to time there are surprises to scream, which attracts the men who pass by to return frequently, which really corresponds to the name of the building.
Zhao Yan sent Cao Ying and the others to the bottom of the back building, although he wanted to go up and have a look, but he was still stopped, after all, the noble girls above were all from extraordinary backgrounds, and they were surrounded by a group of guards on the street, so as not to be bumped into by strange men, let alone let a young man go upstairs, even if Zhao Yan was the king of the county.
"Giggles, husband doesn't have to go up, let's get together with the sisters, husband can find a place to play!" Cao Ying saw Zhao Yan's depressed look when she was stopped, and said with a smile.
"It's not impossible for the county king to go upstairs, but there is a condition?" However, as soon as Cao Ying's words fell, the big-eyed girl beside Ouyang Wanling suddenly smiled and said, I saw that this girl looked thirteen or fourteen years old, her body had not yet grown, and she looked like a little girl, with a pair of big eyes that were particularly conspicuous and looked very cute.
"Oh? What conditions? Zhao Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, although he was already a man with a wife, and he didn't have any other thoughts about these noble girls upstairs, but if he could enjoy the lanterns with so many beautiful girls, it was probably a dream that all men had.
"Hehe, it's very simple, you only need the king of the county to draw a portrait of each sister upstairs, if the king of the county agrees, the little girl will agree to the king of the county to go upstairs on behalf of everyone." I saw that the big-eyed girl said a little mischievously, and at the same time her face showed a little expectation, since Zhao Yan's painting became famous, many women wanted to ask Zhao Yan to paint a portrait of themselves, but they never had the opportunity, if Zhao Yan could agree, then she could also have an enviable portrait.
However, Zhao Yan said with a wry smile when he heard this: "Although I don't know how many people there are upstairs, there are at least hundreds, and so many people have asked me to paint portraits, which can almost exhaust me to death, so I still don't want to join in the fun!" ”
Hearing Zhao Yan's refusal, the big-eyed girl couldn't help but show disappointment, but Zhao Yan smiled at this time: "Of course, if this sister and Ouyang Xiaoniang want to paint a portrait, they can naturally go to the other courtyard to find me, and then Zhao will definitely paint a careful portrait of the two of them!" ”
"Great!" Hearing that Zhao Yan actually agreed to paint a portrait of herself, the big-eyed girl immediately jumped up happily and cheered. And Ouyang Wanling, who was beside her, was also very surprised when she heard Zhao Yan's words and brought herself, although after the last Xiyuan Yaji, her impression of Zhao Yan had changed, but it did not mean that the two were completely reconciled, so Ouyang Wanling heard that Zhao Yan wanted to paint a portrait of herself, and instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she saw the happy look of the big-eyed girl next to her, she couldn't say anything.
In fact, Zhao Yan didn't plan to enter the building just now, because there was a Xue Ning'er beside him, Cao Ying and Princess Bao'an, they could go in and get together with the sisters of the Late Marriage Society, but Xue Ning'er's identity was too humble, and secondly, she was not a member of the Late Marriage Society, no matter which one she was, it was impossible to go in, and Zhao Yan naturally couldn't leave Xue Ning'er outside alone, just now he was just deliberately making a joke.
At that moment, Zhao Yanmu sent Cao Ying and them back to the building, and then joked to Xue Ning'er next to him: "It's okay now, there are only two of us left, but I don't know if if I meet Xue Xing's admirer, will you beat me up?" ”
Regarding Zhao Yan's joke, Xue Ning'er first turned red, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little, and even a little anticipation surged in her heart, but she quickly controlled her expression, and also said in a joking tone: "The words of the county king are the opposite, now the girls in the city are very admiring the talent of the county king, if people know that the little girl is fortunate to accompany the county king to enjoy the lanterns, I am afraid that the little girl will be stuck at home and dare not go out the next day." ”
Zhao Yan also laughed at Xue Ning'er's ridicule, and then the two began to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Lantern Festival side by side, probably because there were only the two of them left, Xue Ning'er seemed to become very happy at this time, pointing to the lanterns on the road from time to time to tell some allusions, and even chanting a few small poems, which also opened Zhao Yan's eyes.
The Lantern Festival is not only about lanterns, but also a lot of singing, dancing, juggling, etc., and taking advantage of this most lively festival, these artists also show their ability to take care of their families, after all, if they can attract the audience today, they can offset their usual income for one or two months.
Zhao Yan and Xue Ning'er enjoyed the roadside performances while walking, and when they encountered wonderful places, Zhao Yan would also sprinkle a handful of copper coins, which aroused the gratitude of the performers. In this way, when he turned to the second watch, Zhao Yan felt a little hungry again, and just saw someone selling Hu cakes, which was actually a kind of scone commonly known as fire in the north in later generations, and the dough was kneaded into green onions, peppercorn powder and animal fat, and then baked in a special oven.
"Twenty Hu Biscuits!" Zhao Yan and Xue Ning'er came to the Hu Cake Stall, and shouted, although Cao Ying and the others were gone, Zhao Yan still had Xiaodou Sprouts and Lin Hu's guards by his side, adding up to just twenty people, Zhao Yan naturally couldn't just eat by himself.
"Wait a minute, the guest officer will be fine right away!" The aunt who sold the hu cakes saw the big business coming to the door, and immediately greeted with a smile, and then opened one of the ovens with her hands and feet, and took out the baked hu cakes from it and gave them to Zhao Yan and them, but because Zhao Yan and they were too many, there were still two after a stove of Hu cakes was divided, which made the aunt who sold the Hu cakes also a little embarrassed, because it would definitely take a while to bake another oven, but who would stay in one place and wait for the lantern festival.
"Hey, don't you still have a furnace that hasn't been opened, why don't you sell it to us?" Zhao Yan pointed to the other oven in front of the lady who sold the hu cakes, just now he had already seen that the other party had two ovens, and just now the other party only took out the hu cakes from one of the ovens and sold them to himself.
"Hey, don't dare to deceive the Yanei, there are two kinds of Hu cakes here, one is mutton fat Hu cake, the other is pig fat Hu cake, what I took for Yanai just now is mutton fat, and the other furnace is pig fat, this thing is eaten by people who are suffering, where do you dare to give it to Yanei?" Aunt Hu replied with a flattering face.
"Pork fat cake?" Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said happily, "Okay, you can get us two more pork fat cakes, this Yanai doesn't care about these!" ”
When Aunt Hu Biscuit heard this, she glanced at Zhao Yan suspiciously, pork is cheap meat, and only poor people can eat it, but the Yanai in front of her is from an extraordinary background at a glance, let alone him, it is estimated that even the maid behind him will not eat it. However, although she was puzzled, Aunt Hu Cake still took out two pork fat Hu cakes and gave them to Zhao Yan according to her words, Zhao Yan ate one by herself after taking it, and the other wanted to give Xiao Bean Sprouts, but she didn't expect to be snatched up by Xue Ning'er and said: "The concubine also likes to eat pork fat Hu cakes, give me this!" ”
Seeing that his Hu Cake was robbed, Xiao Dou Sprouts pursed his mouth very dissatisfied, and finally ran back to buy a pork fat Hu Cake in anger, so he followed Zhao Yan and ate it while walking. Just as Zhao Yan and his party were moving forward slowly, they suddenly heard a thunderous voice on the side of the road shouting: "Open!" Bang! Immediately after that, a black shadow like a spiritual snake rushed straight towards Zhao Yan's face! (To be continued!)
