Chapter 135: Boldness
The restaurant is newly opened, the space is not large, there are many customers, and the business is good. Xiao Wenxuan and the others went to the private room on the second floor.
Xiao Wenxuan ordered a few specialties in the restaurant. Steamed pigeon soup, kung pao hare, roasted deer tendon, and a few seasonal vegetables.
The pigeon soup came up first, Xiao Wenxuan served a bowl to Su Muling, Su Muling picked it up and scooped a spoonful with a spoon and put it in his mouth, well, yes, the taste is delicious and rich.
Su Muling had no appetite, but at this moment, he was also whetted by this soup.
Seeing Su Muling drink all the bowls of soup, Xiao Wenxuan was satisfied with another piece of deer tendon and put it in her bowl.
"This deer tendon is stewed with pheasant and domestic chicken, not greasy, not fat, and there is a kind of game fragrance, you can taste it."
Su Muling picked it up and put it to his mouth and took a bite, the sika deer's tendons were elastic, and after being simmered with radishes and apples, it was very fresh without any fishy smell.
Su Muling put chopsticks into his mouth one by one, and the more he ate, the more he wanted to get this cook home.
At the small table in front of the window, Fang Ping and Si Feng were eating quickly, they had to finish eating one step earlier than the master, so that they could serve the master's tea.
Xiao Wenxuan ate slowly and methodically while giving Su Muling vegetables, looking at Su Muling like a loving old father.
"You look at me eating with the same eyes as my father." Su Muling pursed her lips and smiled.
Xiao Wenxuan also smiled, and took a piece of hare meat to her mouth: "You have been in Zhuzhou for a few months, and you have lost a lot of weight, eat more to make up for it." ”
Su Muling opened her mouth to catch it, it was sweet and delicious.
She stretched out her chopsticks and took a piece of Dongpo meat and handed it to his mouth, Xiao Wenxuan took it with one mouth, her face full of satisfaction.
So, the half-fed two men fed each other like two children, and looked at each other and smirked as they ate.
Fang Ping and Si Feng lowered their heads as if they had no eyes and ears, leaving only one mouth to eat mechanically.
"The cooks in the palace are no worse than here, which one do you like, wait until you go back and ask them to make it."
"I love this pigeon soup and deer tendon. Can it be done? Su Muling took another piece of deer tendon and put it in his mouth, his eyes narrowed.
"Of course......" Xiao Wenxuan just wanted to say of course he could, when there was a noise downstairs, and it seemed that many people had come in at once.
"Of course you can, otherwise you are not qualified to be the chef of the Ningjun Palace."
"Okay, that'......"
As soon as Su Muling's words came out, the door was opened from the outside. The owner of the restaurant walked in with a smile on his face, and waved at Xiao Wenxuan: "Guest officer, I'm sorry." There is a guest officer who has chartered the entire restaurant, and our small shop does not charge money for this table of dishes, which is considered a free gift, so the guest officer is invited to move to another house. Sorry, I'm really sorry! ”
The boss nodded and kept compensating, Su Muling put down the dishes and chopsticks and watched how Xiao Wenxuan responded.
Fang Ping and Si Feng all stood up and returned to their masters.
I saw Xiao Wenxuan waiting for the boss to finish speaking, and only said one sentence without hurrying: "Who did it?" Tell him to come and talk to me himself. ”
"Guest officer, this ...... The guest officer of this chartered venue is a prince, and the guest officer is still ......"
"Huh? Why don't you go soon? ”
Fang Ping pulled out the sword at his waist with a 'click' and took a step towards the shopkeeper. In this world, except for the emperor, no one dares to call it big in front of the prince of his family.
This frightened the shopkeeper so much that he crawled out of the door frame and rolled around.
As soon as the door opened and closed, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the hallway, mixed with incessant complaints. The guests in the private rooms upstairs have begun to evacuate under the lewdness/authority of the 'prince'.
After a while, the corridor fell silent, and a young man's voice came from outside the door: "I want to see who is so bold as to dare to go against this prince." ”
Then the door opened again, and a sturdy-looking young man in a fine costume stood proudly in the doorway, followed by a group of followers.
"Here, have another bowl of soup."
Xiao Wenxuan ignored the people in front of the door, filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Su Muling, Xiao Wenxuan's actions were like flowing water, and his handsome and chic kingly spirit stunned everyone.
Su Muling took the bowl, picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful to his mouth and slowly sucked it, a pair of big furry eyes bent towards Xiao Wenxuan as if no one was around.
The young man's eyes were dumbfounded, and the delicate and feminine Su Muling looked like a goose for a while.
"Lord Wang?" The subordinates next to the man saw that the man was stunned, and hurriedly called him softly.
The man woke up, cleared his throat, and asked arrogantly and loudly: "I heard that you want this king to come in person before you want to leave?" ”
Xiao Wenxuan glanced at him, put a piece of meat in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, and asked disdainfully.
"This king? Who are you? ”
Xiao Wenxuan's attitude angered the other party. With a wave of his hand, a small man emerged from behind him.
I saw him stand in front of Xiao Wenxuan, and warned loudly: "Boy, keep your eyes open and take a good look, this is the emperor himself as the king of Yunnan County, don't kneel down quickly and pay respects." ”
"Bold."
Fang Ping's figure flickered, stepped forward and kicked the little guy out of the old high like a ball, and then kicked it up again, the little guy flew directly over the head of the king of Yunnan County and flew to the corridor, only to hear a chaotic sound of "crackling", and the little guy fell down the stairs half-dead without even screaming.
Shi Tianyi, the king of Yunnan County, was suddenly shocked and then angry, daring to ignore his existence and do something to the people around him.
Stretched out his hand to hold the shaved hair crown, and was about to give the order to take the person down, when a woman's voice came from behind him,
"Oh, lord, what's the matter? Why haven't the people driven away yet......"
Then a bewitching woman dressed in gold and silver appeared in front of Su Muling and Xiao Wenxuan.
Her appearance surprised Su Muling, who was still calm and composed.
"You?"
The woman was also stunned and looked at Su Muling and Xiao Wenxuan in front of her.
But then she turned her head to Shi Tianyi and said in a coquettish voice: "Lord Wang, this store is too unlucky, let's change it." ”
"Wait, it's okay to change the family, but this king wants to teach these people a lesson."
Shi Tianyi is the eldest son of the old Yunnan king. The old king of Yunnan guarded the southern frontier for the emperor, and the emperor named his eldest son the king of Yunnan in order to appease the people. And he was given a royal palace in the capital, so that he could come to live in the capital.
On the outside, the emperor was considerate of him and let him live in Beijing to enjoy wealth, but in fact, he took Shi Tianyi in the capital as a hostage. Shi Tianyi and his son knew the emperor's intentions, but the holy decree could not be violated, and they had to go by order.
It is said that the Shi family is a soil emperor in Yunnan, and no one dares to be wild in front of Shi Tianyi since he was a child. Before he arrived in the capital, someone dared to play tricks in front of him, and Shi Tianyi planned to kill chickens and monkeys.
Xiao Wenxuan frowned and put down his chopsticks. The sharp gaze swept over the face of the Yunnan County King, and said coldly: "Yunnan County King? When was it sealed? How could this king not know. ”
Xiao Wenxuan's "this king" surprised the king of Yunnan County. He tried to remember the princes in the royal family, as if there was really one who was about the same age as him. Could this be the one in front of you?
At this time, Fang Ping replied on the side: "When the emperor was crowned the king of Yunnan County, the prince was still in Qizhou. ”
"Oh, no wonder." Xiao Wenxuan still stared at the king of Yunnan County after speaking, and saw that his face had begun to change color, so he picked up the chopsticks again and continued to eat.
"Fang Ping, this king with a different surname doesn't understand the rules of our Ming Dynasty, you go and teach him, save yourself everywhere and embarrass the emperor."
"Yes." Fang Ping emptied his throat and preached loudly:
"The king of Ningjun and the princess of Ningjun are here, and the king of Yunnan has to pay homage according to the rules!"
A layer of sweat appeared on the face of the king of Yunnan County, and he hated in his heart why he was so unlucky to meet him. Shi Tianyi is the king of the county, and Xiao Wenxuan is also the king of the county, but Xiao Wenxuan is the royal surname, and he is the royal prince, and his prince with a different surname is more than one step worse than Xiao Wenxuan.
Shi Tianyi bent down unwillingly, and the entourage behind him also saw the situation in front of him clearly, and he fell to his knees with a thunderbolt.
"Say hello to the king of Ningjun and the princess of Ningjun."
The shopkeeper had been hiding behind the door and peeping, and when he heard that it was Ning Junwang who he was about to drive away just now, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
"Where is the king of Yunnan Jun, going?" Xiao Wenxuan finally put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, took the tea handed over by Fang Ping, rinsed his mouth, and did not ask him to get up.
"Ben Wang...... The minister went to the capital. ”
Xiao Wenxuan glanced at the woman kneeling beside him.
This woman looks like the dead Lu Qiaohui, and even her arrogant style is the same as Lu Qiaohui, Xiao Wenxuan can't help but suspect that this woman is Yao Junnan's wife Lu Qiaohui.
remembers that Liu Baimao once said: Lu Qiaohui was robbed and beaten to death, and her face was smashed when she died, and she couldn't distinguish her face. Lu Qiaohui and Yao Junnan are at odds, and it is not impossible to use 'fake death' to get rid of him.
"Who are you this woman?"
"It's the minister's side concubine, the Lu family." Shi Tianyi lowered his head.
"Lu's? When was it received? ”
"Half a year ago."
"Where is the Lu clan from? Who else is in the house? ”
“……”
This question stopped Shi Tianyi, he wiped the sweat on his head, and took the opportunity to sneak a glance at Lu.
"The slave's hometown is Guangxi Mansion, and there is no one at home." Seeing that Shi Tianyi was asked, Lu Shi hurriedly spoke.
"The Lu clan grew up in the capital?" Xiao Wenxuan continued to ask.
"No, the slave grew up in the northwest, and it is the first time to come to the capital."
"Oh? The Lu family has never left the northwest, but he speaks an authentic Beijing dialect, which is strange. ”
"......" Lu was dumbfounded.
Xiao Wenxuan uncovered her disguise and ignored her anymore. He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and stood up.
"The king of Yunnan County is so arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and the chickens and dogs are restless everywhere he goes? If the emperor found out, I don't know if he would be unhappy. ”
Shi Tianyi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly leaned down, and his voice was a few degrees lower. No matter how arrogant he is, he knows that if King Ruoning joins him in front of the emperor, it doesn't matter if he is a proton, but his father is afraid that he will be affected.
"The minister is stupid, and the minister knows his mistakes! I also hope that the prince will give his ministers a chance to change their ways. ”
"Well, it's good to know it's wrong. Have you heard of Tian Haitao? Xiao Wenxuan walked up to Su Muling and helped her up.
"I've heard of it." Shi Tianyi's teeth gritted even tighter.
Tian Haitao is the prefect of Guangnan, because he loves the concubine in his family very much, and obeys his words, and finally ends up in the frontier. This happened in Yunnan, and Shi Tianyi certainly knew about it.
"Keep your eyes open, don't be Tian Haitao's second."
"Yes, keep in mind." Shi Tianyi clenched his fists in his sleeves.
"Shall we go?" Xiao Wenxuan's voice was as gentle as water.
"Okay." Su Muling's smile was like a flower.
The two walked hand in hand towards the door, and the people kneeling at the door gave way.
When Su Muling passed by the Lu family, she 'accidentally' stepped on her hand on the ground. The pain was so painful that Lu Shi stood up screaming, pointing at Su Muling's nose and wanting to scold...... She suddenly remembered who she was at this time, and sat back with her legs weak and paralyzed.
"Yikes! Lord, this slave is ...... her"
Su Muling's eyes were slightly closed, and he covered his chest with his hands and fell weakly towards Xiao Wenxuan.
Xiao Wenxuan reacted very quickly, stopped his waist and picked up Su Muling, a pair of peach blossom eyes were round, and his eyebrows were erect.
"Bold! Take it down for me. ”
As soon as Xiao Wenxuan's words fell, Lu Shi felt the figure in front of him flicker, and then he was slipped up and thrown to the ground by Fang Pingti without a heel under his feet, and with the sound of the sword unsheathed, a cold light approached Lu Shi's eyes......
