The sky is slightly dark, the lights of Dongtangzi Hutong are on, and when the gentlemen of each family return home, they have to look twice when they pass by "Shi Xian" - for no other reason, Shi Xian, the lady who looks charming but does not often appear in the hall, is standing at the door to greet guests.

Mrs. Feng poked her head out next door and greeted with a smile, "Are you free today?" Are there any customers coming to the store? ”

Han Chuan smiled and didn't say yes, nor did he say no, "... The people who come to eat are all guests! It's just that today's dishes are ready early in the morning, come out to help say hello! ”

Xu Yi heard Han Chuan's voice at the mouth of the alley.

He had good eyesight, and at a glance he saw the little lady standing at the door with a smile on her face, which was so smiling that she couldn't see it.

？

Xu Yi frowned slightly.

The evenings at the end of March and April are not too cold, but they are not very warm compared to the afternoon.

Especially standing in the tuyere...

Who is worth it for her to stand at the door and wait?

Xu Yu glanced at the corner of the turquoise silk skirt that was raised high by the wind, pursed his lips, and turned the direction from the door of his mansion stiffly, and walked towards "Shi Xian" with his hands behind his back without hurrying.

Han Chuan rubbed his hands, and his fingertips were a little cold.

Glancing at the hexagonal oil lamp hanging high, and then seeing a figure from far and near, the shadow slowly lengthened on the bluestone slab, and then gradually shortened, and finally the long and quiet shadow was trampled under the feet of the calf's leather boots.

Han Chuan pursed his lips, leaned sideways, and smiled, "Guest officer, please inside!" ”

Xu Yi lifted his robe, stepped through the porch, and went straight inside.

Han Chuan didn't take it seriously.

Since the two families are so close to each other, Xu Yi is a trouble-saving person, and it is normal for him to come to eat often. You can't close your doors and say that you don't do business with the surname Xu, right?

After a while, Xu Yi came out again, swaying around the shadow wall and the gate a few times before turning back.

Han Chuan turned his back to him and didn't know that there was such a lawsuit behind him.

It was getting late, Zhang Sanlang took the lead, looking at the age and face, followed by the Duchess of England and the Duchess of the Kingdom, the British Duchess had narrow sleeves and a heroic posture, and she looked like a lady who was easy to get along with.

As soon as the British Duke entered, a middle-aged man in a purple robe came with his hands behind his back, followed by a jeweled lady and a magnificent son--this is probably the Zuodu Yushi family.

The dignitaries who were waiting for them had arrived.

There is no little girl to come, Xu is the future father-in-law who will take the lead in looking at his son-in-law, and then talk about marriage or not?

Eating at two tables is to protect the reputation of the two families.

If it becomes natural, it is good, if it is not, it is blameless in the eyes of others.

Han Chuan personally carried the lantern and walked through the shadow wall with the Shang family, saying auspicious words with joy in his mouth, "... In the twilight of spring, the day is getting late, you are here today, there are fresh, 800 miles of expedited Pu Cai from Huai'an, and a few well-made sea cucumbers... Yo, you carefully door frame..."

Han Chuan smiled and lifted the curtain for Shang Yushi with one hand.

In the end, it came out of the palace.

The words and deeds revealed just the right distance and a comfortable ironing, and Mrs. Shang glanced at Han Chuan more, pursed her lips and smiled, and thanked her chin.

The tables of the two families, one south and one north, are a little far apart, but they can be seen when they look up.

Shang Yushi's face was calm, Zhang Sanlang's face was flushed, and Han Chuan stood behind the counter, smiling like an old aunt while sweating in his hands.

Xu Yan took a sip of the jasmine honey tea placed on the table, and drank it a little respectfully.

Why is today's clear tea so sweet and greasy?

Look at the smiling face of the shopkeeper again.

All right.

Suddenly, I felt that the tea was not very sweet.

Xu Yi wanted to laugh a little, the people still looked at their son-in-law, what did the shopkeeper He do so happily?

For a meal, first serve four cold and four hot appetizers, and then serve twelve dishes, "fresh" façade dishes, squirrel mandarin fish, pocket duck, called flower chicken, salt-baked two-head abalone, Wensi tofu... Followed by one sea cucumber per person and three meals, and then finished with clear soup and fish noodles.

The meal can be described as a pleasure for both guests and hosts.

Of course, the guests and hosts eat at separate tables, and there is occasional eye contact without a trace, which adds a bit of flavor to this table dish.

Mrs. Shang put down her chopsticks with a smile and took a sip of the bamboo salt orange peel water presented, which was very refreshing, and the taste of the dishes on the table was all converged.

The British public did their best to find a good restaurant.

Mrs. Shang's eyes flowed to the little girl who had been waiting behind the counter, if this little girl had all the tricks of this restaurant, she would really be a character.

Coming, the two families got together, the two juniors of Lang Jun each bowed their hands, the British public asked Shang Yushi to go first, Shang Yushi bowed and gave way, and he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure sitting under the window lattice in the southeast corner.

Zhang Sanlang looked at Shang Yushi's eyes, and when he saw that it was Xu Yi, he raised his hand and naturally said hello to Xu Yi.

Xu Yao nodded in response.

Shang Yushi and the British public hurriedly bowed their hands, and Xu Yan pressed his hand down, which was regarded as a return gift.

Shang Yushi hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "That master, is..."

As he spoke, he looked at the British duke.

The British Duke turned his head and smiled, "That's the master." After thinking about it, he added, "San Lang and that master are classmates, and it just so happens that the master's mansion is set in Dongtangzi Hutong, and they also have some movement and friendship with each other." ”

Shang Yushi looked at Zhang Sanlang's eyes a little more scrutiny.

King Xu of Qin, followed a similar path to the imperial history.

No party formation, no personal gain, what stands out is the word "pure".

Don't heat up the stove and be a virtuous king, this is probably the path Xu Yi wants to take.

Taking this road means that in the court, Xu Yi never easily befriended people, and if it was not someone with a similar temperament or a blue eye, Xu Yi would not pay attention to it.

He is a nobleman with a lot of principles and personality.

It is precisely because of this sexual principle that he was pulled out of the hot stove dispute between the second prince and the third prince!

Zhang Saburo...

Shang Yushi looked at Zhang Sanlang's oily head and noodles, and suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye, he was very picky about this family business, although Zhang Sanlang was born in the British government, but he has no merit and fame, and he has no ability to make a profit, so he is not a virtuous son-in-law.

The British government vaguely handed the words to the Shang family, he wanted to refuse directly, but it was his wife who insisted on looking at Zhang Sanlang, so he went down to the court and brought his eldest son to appear in this restaurant.

Looking at it this way now, if Xu Yi has the heart to be good friends with Zhang Sanlang, then this kid should also have something worthy of admiration.

Shang Yushi nodded, and turned sideways to let the British duke, "Yunshan, it's dark and the road is narrow, you and I are good together." ”

After the British public was stunned for a long time, the words went through his mind twice, and he smiled, "Yes, yes, yes!" The road is narrow in the dark, and you still need to carry the lantern forward, so as not to mess up, you and I, a lantern and a pathfinder, will be able to go steadily on the road ahead! ”

The imperial history lantern, the noble to explore the way, walk the Qingyun road together, in order to complement each other.
