Chapter Seventy-Six: On the Road
Half an hour later, the carriage slowly drove out of the city gate, really slowly, otherwise at the normal speed, it would have been out of the city in two quarters of an hour.
Lu Xingwan chatted with Wen Shu for a while and felt sleepy, so he lay down to rest, Yinhong and Luliu and other maids were in the other carriage, Wen Shu had nothing to do, and he had nothing to say to Mama Chen opposite, so he could only lift the curtain to look at the scenery outside.
It's just that although spring has begun at this time, the grass on both sides of the road has not yet emerged, let alone flowers everywhere. She looked at it for a while, and then got bored, so she retracted her head, which was actually a little cold.
There is nothing to do, and it is not suitable to stare at Mama Chen with dry eyes, Wen Shu thought about whether to find a topic to talk about?
was pondering what to say, and Mama Chen, who had been sitting quietly, spoke up first: "The little lady didn't sell herself, right?" Although she asked, her tone was very affirmative.
Wen Shu was slightly stunned, and then thought that Miss Lu knew that she couldn't hide this matter, so she nodded truthfully.
Sure enough, Mama Chen felt a little pity in her heart, since this girl said that she was the only child in the family, she knew that this girl must not have sold herself, and depending on the situation, it would be impossible to sell herself if there was no catastrophe in the future.
It's a pity, this girl has a lot of strength and a clever person, if she can sell herself in, they have added another powerful person to the courtyard.
After sighing in her heart for a while, Mama Chen smiled and asked, "That little lady has a promise?" ”
"Nope." Wen Shu bowed his head in a shy manner.
Mama Chen suddenly came to her senses, "I have an old sister, her family is the same age as the little lady, and she has not agreed to kiss, if the little lady is interested, how about I go back and arrange for you to meet?" ”
"This ......." Wen Shu showed embarrassment: "The marriage event should be the order of the parents, if you want to see each other, you have to tell my father first, and he will accompany you." ”
"This is natural." Mama Chen smiled even more after hearing this.
Just now she deliberately said so frivolous, just to try what kind of character this little lady is, if she agrees casually, then she must not be reserved, in this way, she can't sell herself, and she won't be so pity.
But now her answer and demeanor not only satisfied her, but also made her feel sorry again for not being able to sell herself.
But fortunately, her old sister really has a son, and he is the same age, if it can be said that they have achieved a good relationship, it is also a good thing, and now she told the age of that Goro, the character, and what the family is doing.
"I saw that kid once a year ago, he was a talent, he was still a scholar, he was already a talent in the last year, and he will definitely take this road in the future, if he is lucky, he may enter the court as an official."
"The old sister has been asking me to find a daughter-in-law for her, and I don't have a suitable one around me, until I recently met the little lady, and this idea came out of my mind, which shows that it is a good match."
Wen Shu just laughed when she heard this, but she didn't speak, in fact, she didn't take this matter seriously at all in her heart, only when Mama Chen was very bored, she would find such a topic to talk about endlessly.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Mama Chen was a little unsure of her thoughts, thought about it, and was afraid that she had misunderstood something, so she hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, that child is from an innocent background, and my old sister is also a handkerchief from childhood, not a person who sold herself into the house." ”
When it came to this, it would be bad if Wen Shu didn't open her mouth again, she thought about it, pursed her lips and said, "Mama Xie is kind, it's just such a big thing, or my father has the idea." ”
Seeing that she didn't refuse, Mama Chen smiled and said, "That's, that's, then when I go back to Bianjing, I'll let that old sister go to your house and talk to your father." ”
Wen Shu was shy, lowered his head and didn't speak, but in fact, his eyes kept glancing at Lu Xingwan, who was resting with his eyes closed, and yelled in his heart, Miss Lu, wake up quickly!
I'd rather you wake up and pull me to talk about some poetry, calligraphy and painting that I don't understand, rather than talk to Mama Chen anymore!
Fortunately, Mama Chen didn't continue later, and when she saw that she was bored, she took out the pastries in the dark and asked her if she wanted to eat them?
Wen Shu was so hungry that she was not hungry, but the tempting pastries were placed in front of her, and she was afraid that Mama Chen would pull her to talk about this kind of marriage again, so she nodded and took a few pieces.
As soon as the soft and slightly sweet mung bean cake was put in the mouth, it melted in the mouth, and it went down the throat without chewing, Wen Shu had never eaten such a delicious pastry, and couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and asked Mama Chen: "This pastry is made by Chef Wang?" ”
Mama Chen smiled: "No, this is one of Chef Wang's best pastries, and it was also because this green pastry was discovered by the eldest prince, and then invited to make a private chef for the girl." As he spoke, seeing that she was eating sweetly, he put the plate of cakes forward: "If you like, take a few more pieces." ”
"No, no." Wen Shu shook his head again and again: "It's better to leave it to the eldest girl to eat." ”
Mama Chen smiled: "The eldest girl doesn't like to eat overnight things, this mung bean cake is made in a hurry, if you don't finish it today, Ming'er won't eat it, and Chef Wang also came with the car, and it's not a matter of words to want to eat." ”
She said so, Wen Shu was not polite, and grabbed a few more pieces at the moment.
Because there are eight kinds of pastries in the dark grid, and in addition to this, there are four honey coins, in her opinion, Miss Lu's appetite is so small, she must not be able to eat it all.
Of course, Miss Lu is not an extravagant and wasteful person, the reason why she eats so much is that she has a picky taste, and secondly, her spleen and stomach are weak, even if she encounters something she loves to eat, she can't eat more, so she can only prepare a few more.
Because of her weak spleen and stomach, she can't eat overnight, so what she can't eat that day will be rewarded to the people around her in the end.
This is also the reason why Mama Chen dared to be so generous and asked Wen Shu to grab a few more pieces.
The carriage drove smoothly and slowly on the official road, and it was nearly noon, and it was only twenty miles out of the city, looking at this speed, Wen Shu secretly wondered in his heart, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back in this month.
Maybe you are used to this road, and you know all about what coachmen are on the road, no, the carriage drove into the town outside the city with a meal, and then booked a snack shop with a familiar way.
The shopkeepers were a couple, and when they saw the familiar carriage, they came over enthusiastically carrying a kettle and pouring tea for the passers-by.
Lu Xingwan woke up half an hour ago, and was reading the novel with Wen Shu, when he saw that the carriage had stopped, he also said that he wanted to go down to get some air.
Mama Chen hurriedly took the hat for her, and helped her down with Wen Shu, Chef Wang got off the back car, only drank two sips of tea, and then led the two rough envoys with their burdens to the back kitchen to work.
She moved quickly, and within a quarter of an hour, she brought two dishes and one soup, all of which Lu Xingwan loved to eat and was easy to digest, as for Wen Shu and others, they naturally did not have such a good treatment.
As early as the moment they sat down, the owner brought them a large bowl of wontons, and if there was not enough, he called for some trowels to cushion their stomachs.
Wen Shu knew how much he was eating, so at the beginning, he ordered an extra pancake and a trowel, and at this time he was dipped in the soup of wontons, and he ate it with relish.
Don't look at this snack shop is not very eye-catching, but his wontons are very good, especially the soup, which is delicious and delicious.
This scene made all the coachmen, servants and guards around them dumbfounded, and said in their hearts: I can't see that such a slender and quiet little lady has such a big appetite, and the amount of food is about to catch up with them.
On the other table, Lu Xingwan, who was eating soup in small sips, saw Wen Shu eating so sweetly and happily, and suddenly felt that the food in front of him was more fragrant, and unconsciously, he actually ate half a bowl more than usual.
