There were bursts of light and pleasant birdsong outside the window, Su Meng slowly turned over, feeling the slightest pain in her head, she sighed softly, and looked at the gauze and silk on the top of the bed in a daze with heavy eyelids, suddenly like entering an ethereal fairyland.
Is she here to accompany her parents? Su Meng tentatively stretched out his fair-skinned slender hand upward, waved his jade arm lightly, and the lace wide sleeves slid down to reveal the flawless jade muscles, and his fist was lightly squeezed through the gap with a hand.
Pushing the door with the cherry on the plate, he saw her subtle movements in the hazy bed tent, and said happily, "Miss, have you woken up?" ”
Su Meng heard Cherry's familiar and friendly voice, smiled helplessly, and slapped his forehead fiercely, what was he thinking?
Su Meng leaned sideways against the bed rail, lifted the layers of bed curtains with his jade hand, and said in a dumb voice: "This wine is really strong, I still have a headache now!"
Cherry chuckled and stepped forward and tied the bed curtains to both ends of the bed, "Chunlan was afraid that Miss would have a headache in the morning, so she cooked sobering soup again!" ”
Cherry took a moist towel and carefully wiped Su Ming's face and hands clean, and Chunlan came in with a bowl of soup on her back feet.
Su Meng raised his head and finished a large bowl of decanting soup, sat on the pear blossom wooden table, and sighed lightly.
"To be honest, I've been in the capital for a long time, and I only heard a lot of fun and delicious food here in Liangcheng, but now I'm here, and I'm busy socializing, and I only drank that wine last night, so I was happy!" Su Meng rubbed his temples and complained.
Chunlan cleaned up the bed, turned her head and said, "That's it, Cherry, you grew up in the capital since you were a child, what are the fun places in the capital?" ”
Cherry made a cup of sweet and fragrant cloud tea for Su Ming, "The two most famous places in the capital, one is the Yuanyi Tea House in the south of the city, it is located in the most prosperous area of the capital, where there are many kinds of tea and wine, high quality, and many delicacies, such as forgetting to return to the fish, lotus fragrant claypot chicken, golden mouth crisp, nephrite cake," Cherry said, and began to swallow his saliva, "The other is the Yongsheng Temple in the north of the city, where the incense mist is ethereal, ethereal and quiet, devout to seek Buddha, and there are hundreds of attempts and spirits, and there are also famous Buddhist masters in the temple, As soon as he starts the lecture, the capital is empty of thousands of people, and all the people who listen to the lecture are in an empty and open mood, and all the doubts and annoyances are washed away! ”
Su Meng took a sip of azure porcelain and raised her eyebrows, she didn't believe in Buddhism very much, and when she was in Liangcheng, the kind of Taoist priest and half-immortal who chattered with gods, the witch who divined the pearl, and the old monk who pinched the beads and chanted the scriptures also met a lot.
Cherry pouted, with a sparkle of stars in her eyes, "The important thing is that he is very handsome, and the little monks in there are all handsome!" ”
"Ahh Are you sure? Chunlan pounced over and grabbed the cherry's little hand, looking at her excitedly.
"Really!" Cherry and Chunlan screamed happily and rubbed their hands in anticipation.
Su Meng looked at the two of them huddling and cheering, touched the hungry and grumbling stomachs, raised his eyes to meet the expectant eyes of the two of them, and curled his lips and said, "Then let's go to these two places today, Chunlan, go and tell the old lady that we go out to eat!" Cherry, you go and call Lao Zhao to prepare the carriage! ”
The two little girls answered and ran happily.
The three of them got into the carriage, and Lao Zhao whipped the horse and drove the horse slowly. The two fierce-looking men hiding outside the Yu Mansion saw Su Meng get into the carriage, looked at each other, and followed the carriage closely.
Chunlan and Cherry, who have always looked at each other, sat together chattering and discussing, and Su Meng lifted the curtain to look at the lively scene on the street outside.
The horse-drawn carriage drove into a bustling street, and the large and small, richly decorated and exquisite shops were close together, and people came and went, and the voices of people were boiling. The shouts and shouts came and went, and the sound of conversation was endless. Vendors on both sides of the road hold all kinds of strange gadgets and keep introducing them to passers-by.
Stopping in front of the Yuanyi Teahouse, there was immediately a shopkeeper in a linen shirt and a black hat who came forward to entertain him.
Su Meng looked up at the black lacquer plaque of the Yuanyi Teahouse, the words between the magnificent atmosphere, the Jinhua Nanmu texture was clearly visible, and the eaves were upturned to scatter dazzling sunlight. The fragrance lingers inside, blowing in the face, and people come and go, endlessly.
When the two men who followed saw the three of them enter the teahouse, they sat separately in the opposite shop and secretly observed.
The three of them stepped into the threshold, and a sharp and deep gaze stared at Su Ming.
The stocky black-coat shopkeeper immediately greeted him with a smile when he saw Cherry, and called loudly: "I've seen Cherry Girl!" Looking at the girl in the middle, she was a little raw, wearing an elegant silk dress, her face was beautiful and bright, but she couldn't hide her good temperament, and the other girl was also pure and lovely.
"This girl looks a little raw?"
"Oh! Our county lord is here for the first time! Cherry replied with a light smile.
The shopkeeper widened his eyes and smiled, "My old village has seen the lord of Huiyu here!" Is the county lord going to sit in the box on the second floor or? ”
"Just sit down in the hall! The two of them ordered! ”
Xiao Er took Cherry and Chunlan to take a seat.
The shopkeeper returned to the counter, took the account book and abacus, and played as fast as he could.
Su Meng stepped forward, leaned against the counter, and asked in a low voice, "Shopkeeper Zhuang, let me ask you something?" ”
The shopkeeper dipped the ink on the inkstone with a rabbit quill pen while whispering, "County Lord, if you have any questions, just ask, Lao Zhuang knows and will tell you the truth!" ”
"Do you have a storyteller named Xiao Wen in this teahouse?"
The shopkeeper Zhuang listened to her words, and the brush only stopped on the account book for a moment, and then began to write, "County Lord, I don't have Xiao Wen here, and my teahouse doesn't provide storytelling." ”
"In the Yuanyi Teahouse in Liangcheng, there is indeed a storyteller named Xiao Wen!" Su Meng said anxiously.
"County Lord, our Yuanyi teahouses are all over the country, and I only help the owner manage this store in the capital, and it's normal not to know Xiao Wen. What's more, people in each place have different hobbies, and storytelling is not popular in Beijing, so the small shop does not provide storytelling as an entertainment project! The shopkeeper put down the brush and said sincerely.
"Okay, I see, thank you shopkeeper!" Su Meng smiled, turned around and walked to the table of Cherry and Chunlan, but he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart.
Shopkeeper Zhuang watched Su Ming's soft and delicate back stay away, and then turned around and went up to the second floor to report to Chifeng outside the box.
"Miss Chifeng, she just asked about the owner!"
"Didn't say anything!" Chifeng's narrow Danfeng eyes stared at the short, fat man.
"Don't worry, she's not suspicious!" The shopkeeper of Zhuang bent down and replied with a smile, and when he saw Chifeng's head signaling, he turned around and left.
Chi Feng opened the door of the box, looked at the man sitting by the window, and replied, "She is not suspicious, His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”
