"Let's eat" Yun Niang came to the courtyard with the daytime eclipse. The charming aroma of rice made Qian Xiaoqian's saliva secretion faster than usual.

Later generations ate a lot of food, but because of the slightly heavy taste, the taste of many foods themselves was masked.

The seasonings of the Three Kingdoms period are not as rare as imagined, except for the price of spices and salt, which are more expensive, the others are commonplace, not to mention all kinds of sauces, as well as green onions, ginger and garlic, etc., as long as they are not spicy, the rest can be found in the vegetable market.

Fresh steamed river fish and stewed vegetables are extremely delicious and delicious.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law's craftsmanship seems to be better than that of Brother Juyuan," Qian Xiaoqian stretched out his chopsticks and put a few pieces into his mouth, giving a thumbs up and praise. Yun Niang was a little embarrassed to be praised, and pushed the dish forward, "If you like it, eat more, there are still in the pot, and it is not enough to serve it again." ”

Shan Tao laughed, "Most of my crafts are to consult Yun Niang, how can I catch up with the master if I don't have a master."

Yun Niang blushed, and hurried back to the kitchen after finishing the dishes.

Qian Xiaoqian and Shan Tao were enjoying the delicious lunch when they heard the sound of someone knocking on the door outside the courtyard gate.

I don't know who came to visit at noon, Shantao put down his chopsticks and got up to open the door.

Compared to the embarrassed appearance from a distance just now, Ji Kang could already be described as lost and depressed when he appeared at the door.

This is the first time Qian Xiaoqian has seen Ji Kang, and he can't contact him at all when he listens to the description in Shantao's mouth. He himself felt that Ji Kang looked quite down-to-earth.

Even more down-to-earth than himself, Qian Xiaoqian looked at his tattered clothes and sighed.

"How did you make yourself look like this," Shan Tao turned sideways to let Ji Kang in.

Ji Kang glanced at Qian Xiaoqian, who was spitting fish bones on the stone table.

Shan Tao stepped forward to introduce, "My new friend, Qian Xiaoqian." ”

Qian Xiaoqian stretched out his hand to express his intimacy, Ji Kang glanced at the fish residue in his hand, frowned slightly, and ignored it. He sat down on the stone bench.

Qian Xiaoqian was a little depressed, he didn't dislike Ji Kang's dust

"It's because I couldn't get it back," Shantao poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

Ji Kang held the water glass, his fingers rubbing the edge of the glass.

He was anxious. Qian Xiaoqian looked at this inconspicuous little action and guessed.

But he wasn't wrong.

Ji Kang replied, "Someone bought it." “

Shantao thought that it might be the boatman who left or some other reason, but he was also puzzled that he was bought by someone else.

"You asked, no clues" He apparently knew very well about the measures that a straight-tempered someone might take to educate by force.

"Yes, it's a woman, she wears a veil, and she has slaves." Ji Kang does not have a repetition of the original sentence that is not processed by half a filament.

"There are only a few noble ladies who know how to judge, and they can be counted on one hand. Don't worry, uncle, let's go to Ruan Ji and ask, he should have a channel to inquire. Shantao comforted. Ruan Ji often mingles in vocal music venues and has a wide range of contacts, so it is most suitable to ask him.

"Even if ordinary noblewomen don't restrict travel, they won't go to the mixed area like the dock," Qian Xiaoqian asked.

"Did Xiaoqian think of something?" asked Shantao, who had actually begun to pay attention to this detail in his heart.

"Could it be that I just arrived at the meeting this morning," Qian Xiaoqian said excitedly, feeling that he had grasped the crux of the problem.

"No, it won't. Noble ladies don't ride in awning boats. The wharf of the boat is on the other side of Huiji County, and the two are far away. Ji Kang's words were a basin of cold water and poured it directly.

"Well, that's probably what I'm thinking." Qian Xiaoqian made trouble embarrassedly. Recently, he has always used this action to hide his embarrassment, and he feels that if he continues like this, he will probably face a mid-life crisis soon.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Ye, you just said that the woman was wearing a veil, and only the slave maid followed" Shan Tao seemed to think of something, interrupting Qian Xiaoqian's embarrassment and asking.

Ji Kang thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes." That's what the boatman said. In that case, he wouldn't lie to me. ”

"Ah, I know that it must be the woman's private escape, only with her maidservant, in order to hide her identity, she escaped in a canopy boat, which feels like a story" Qian Xiaoqian raised his hand to answer, and used his brain hole in a high nature, and instantly made up an inspirational story of a rich girl who was dissatisfied with the constraints of her family and longed to soar in the sky of freedom.

There is also reason, Shantao and Ji Kang were completely stunned.

Shan Tao smiled, "If there is such a possibility, it can be written into a picture book." ”

Qian Xiaoqian stuck out his tongue.

"Juyuan wanted to say something," Ji Kang didn't want to pay attention to the secondary and second disease patients next to him.

"I remember your jade pendant, Ruan Ji has always felt that it is proof of his shame, and he has been talking to me every day for a while. It doesn't seem to be expensive, of course, for those who have a lot of money, the quality can only be considered ordinary. Families with young women in Huiji City will not lack jade pendants of this texture, and it may not be for that piece of jade. ”

"I just said she was from out of town," Qian Xiaoqian couldn't help but interject.

"Don't rush jade"

"Yes." Shan Tao nodded, and continued, "I always feel that there is a high probability that she is going towards people." ”

In Huiji County, the woman in the yellow shirt walked gracefully from the bridge, hiring Tingting, and there were often pedestrians who paid attention, guessing what kind of face was behind the veil.

She was followed by a maid dressed as a man. said that it was men's dress, but in fact, it was only for the convenience of movement, without any cover-up, and a discerning person could distinguish the gender at a glance.

"Pavilion master, isn't that a token you gave to Ji Gongzi, how could it appear in the hands of that boatman?"

The essence of the valet is that the master has no secrets in front of them, and they will participate in anything. Special training will also allow them to develop their own memory so that they can remember what their owners have forgotten.

This jade pendant was specially given to Ji Gongzi by the pavilion owner after meeting in Luoyang that day. Although I didn't say it explicitly, I could clearly feel that kind of admiration.

The owner of the jade pendant pavilion has been wearing it since he was a child, and he is familiar with the texture of the jade and the pattern and handwriting engraved on it. So it was just a casual glance, and he immediately recognized it and reported it to the pavilion owner. Before the man left, he bought it back at a high price.

Although the jade pendant escaped being lost, the little maid was still unhappy. She felt that the loss of her master's jade pendant showed that Ji Gongzi had lived up to her master's affection. If you say goodbye, you must question it yourself.

"Maybe it's lost by accident or stolen. He wouldn't have lost it on purpose. The melodious voice of the oriole sounded behind the veil. She's explaining for her lover. There was not a hint of unhappiness or suspicion in his tone.

The little maid pouted, looked at her master, and hated that iron could not become steel.
