Chapter 694: Goodbye
Xie Mulin and Xie Hui took a carriage and came to the street where Beirui Hall was located smoothly.
Xie Huizhi lifted the corner of the car curtain, looked out a few times, and then turned back to his second sister and said, "This street is not very lively and prosperous, how can Second Brother Xiao open a store in such a place?" ”
Xie Mulin smiled: "This store is opened under the name of Dong Huiwu. It's actually a comeback business. As long as the reputation spreads among the in-demand patient population, there will naturally be customers who will come to the door, and it has little to do with the location of the store. It is not a remote area, but it is a well-developed water and land transportation, not far from the neighborhood where the military generals and soldiers of the capital live, and there are fewer pedestrians, and there are also the advantages of fewer people. What's more, Xiao Rui intends to use this place as a place of seclusion, if the surrounding area is too lively, how can he live? ”
Xie Huizhi suddenly realized, looked at it a few more times, and then smiled: "Sure enough, don't think of this place as a place to open a shop, but think about finding a residence, this street is ten times stronger than those thriving streets!" ”
The carriage quickly drove to the door of Beiruitang, Xie Huizhi saw that there were shopkeepers and men in the store, as well as a doctor who knew how to treat bruises and rheumatism, and three or two customers dressed as male and female servants came to buy plasters, and hesitated for a moment before saying to Xie Mulin: "There are a lot of people in the store now, why don't you wait for them to leave, and then I will accompany the second sister in?" "It also saves people from being seen.
Xie Mulin told him: "Ask someone to say hello to the shopkeeper, and say that the Xie family, who had ordered the goods before, came to pick up the goods, and the shopkeeper naturally knew that he would lead us to the back house." You don't have to show up, wait until you get to the courtyard inside, and then it's not too late to get out of the car. ”
Xie Huizhi raised his eyebrows: "This is how to meet has been discussed in advance?" Did you say it when Second Brother Xiao wrote before? Since the second sister already knew, why didn't she tell me? ”
What's there to say about this? If he hadn't been dissuaded by Cai Laotian when he went out, Xie Mulin wouldn't have thought of bringing his younger brother over. Taking her younger brother to meet her boyfriend, she feels embarrassed just thinking about this kind of thing!
Aoyagi entered the store, and after a while, a man came out to lead the way, and took the carriage where Xie Mulin and his brother were sitting, and turned into the alley not far from the store, where there was a door that led to the backyard of Beirui Hall, and the size was large enough for carriages to enter and exit. Xie Mulin and Xie Huizhi just took the carriage into the courtyard, and then the guy closed the door and did not follow in, probably continuing to walk outside and going back to the shop in front.
Xie Huizhi praised: "Second Brother Xiao is so secretively arranged!" He took the initiative to lift the curtain and jumped down.
He had just stood firm on the ground, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Xiao Rui standing under the eaves and smiling at him: "I haven't seen you for three years, you have grown so taller, why do you still have a child's temper?" ”
Xie Huizhi looked at his much more mature and heroic face, and somehow he was also a little moved: "I live in my own home, except for the occasional need to worry about homework, I am almost carefree, and I am naturally happy to continue to be a child." Not like you, Second Brother Xiao...... You've suffered all these years, haven't you? ”
Xie Mulin silently got out of the carriage, looking at Xiao Rui, who looked like a tall adult man in front of him, and no longer looked like a young man in the past, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little hot.
Xiao Rui didn't answer Xie Huizhi's words, since the curtain of the carriage was lifted for the second time, his eyes were fixed on Xie Mulin, and he kept watching her get off the carriage, watching her look at himself, and watching her eyes redden.
He smiled comfortably: "Mulin, long time no see." ”
Xie Mulin has been urging Xiao Rui to change his name in his letter all these years, and now he can finally hear him call his real name, and his heart is suddenly excited. She held back her tears and tried to show a bright smile: "It's been a long time, you look like you've changed so much!" ”
"The winds on the frontier are strong, and they blow harder, and the people become thicker and thicker. I'm a lot uglier now, don't laugh at me. Xiao Rui's eyes were still staring at Xie Mulin, "Come into the house and talk, right?" Outside...... There's a few cool breezes, don't chill you. ”
Xie Huizhi glanced at him twice, then looked back at his second sister's appearance of staring at Xiao Rui without moving her eyes, silently touched her heart, and suddenly felt that she was a little too full for breakfast, why did she feel choked?
Xie Mulin followed Xiao Rui's advice very cooperatively, and followed him into a small living room, and Xie Huizhi followed him in. Peach was stunned in the courtyard for a few seconds before quickly catching up. Only then did she understand that her own girl had made an appointment with this Xiao Ergongzi to meet!
Fortunately, the third young master was also there, and it was not a private meeting. But why did she think that the atmosphere was wrong?
After Xie Mulin sat down, Xiao Rui personally poured tea for her. There was also a dim sum he had prepared in advance on the table, and he introduced it to her very patiently: "This is a dim sum from Beiping, but it uses materials bought in the capital, and I eat it quite authentically, can you also taste it?" ”
He poured Xie Huizhi a cup of tea, but did not push the snack plate in front of the latter.
Xie Huizhi's face was expressionless, and he didn't feel angry at all, because he was still choking and didn't want to eat any refreshments.
Xie Mulin reluctantly glanced at the dim sum saucer, recognized that there were donkeys rolling, pea yellow or something, and a thought quickly flashed in his mind, "Are these snacks available so early", but quickly put it behind him and ate it casually: "Very well done!" I think it's quite authentic. This is the cook you brought back from Beiping? ”
Xiao Rui smiled and stretched out his finger to point his nose.
Xie Mulin was stunned, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "What did you do?!" Really?! ”
Xiao Rui smiled and smiled happily: "It was indeed me who did it." When I stayed in Beiping, I specially consulted the white case cook of Yanwangfu, and he was so annoyed that he taught me to do it. Although my talent for cooking is average, my talent for white cases is really not covered. I'll make you a few more things to taste, and you'll know if it's true or not. ”
Shermulin was shocked. How did Xiao Rui come up with the idea of learning to make dim sum? He used to study literature, but now he is in the army, no matter how you look at it, he is also a rising star in the army, a young general who gallops on the battlefield, and there is a difference of 108,000 miles between making snacks and making snacks!
Xiao Rui just smiled and said, "Don't you like to eat dim sum a lot?" I don't know how to cook other dishes, but it's easy to make dim sum. I have a lot of strength, kneading dough or something. I thought, you're used to eating Jiangnan dim sum, I don't know if you will like northern food? If you have the chance, you must make something for you to taste, and you can't just eat the food you bring you, right? I want to repay you! ”
Xie Mulin looked at him, and couldn't help but smile even sweeter on his face.
Xie Huizhi withdrew his shocked eyes from Xiao Rui, and suddenly felt that he was really weak. Second Brother Xiao will definitely not be able to replace him in order for his second sister to be able to do this......
