23. The difference between local 'specialties' and modern snacks
In this silence, Meng Wei suddenly heard a squeak open the door from the side, and then heard a woman from outside softly speak: "Man'er has thanked the three princes for their hospitality today, and this jade hairpin Man'er likes it very much." ”
"It's hard to buy a good heart, for Bo Hongyan smiled, this prince is worth spending tens of thousands of taels, and the girl walks slowly."
"Hmm."
As soon as the words fell, I heard two faint footsteps walking past the door, and then faded away.
The Three Princes?
Meng Wei remembered that the fourth prince said that the third prince was in room No. 1 of Tianzi just now, but she didn't expect that she was having a tryst with a beautiful woman just now, and the reason why these two people gathered here and refused to leave was to listen to the corner?
Meng Wei was thinking about the intriguing court dramas she had watched before, and after a while, she heard the door knock again, and a footstep that was heavier than just now passed, Ye Zichuan stood up and stretched out, and flicked a finger at Meng Wei's head: "You little girl, don't think about something all day long, curiosity kills the cat, you just need to serve the master well, the less you know, the better." ”
Ye Zichuan's words made Meng Wei feel a pang in her heart, and then she realized that she had changed into a younger girl's skin since she crossed over, and she often felt that she had lived an extra life, and many things were more visible than others, but she forgot to hide her emotions.
After being mentioned by this little marquis, Meng Wei remembered that even if the little marquis in front of him was a fool, he was not necessarily a fool, let alone a fourth prince.
No matter how gentle and harmless the surface is, but a person who grew up in a big dye vat like the palace, you can fight for conspiracies and tricks in the palace, even if you are afraid.
And to survive in it, presumably the four princes are not without a city in their hearts.
Now is not a modern era that emphasizes human rights and equality for all, but an ancient time when imperial power was supreme, and if she showed anything like this, she must not be far from fart hiccups.
Seeing that Meng Wei was scared, Ye Zichuan relieved himself: "Let's go, my lord is full, just go out for a walk to eliminate food." ”
"It just so happened that I came out for some hours, so I went back to the palace first, presumably the concubine knew that you were no longer bitter in the summer, and she would definitely be very happy."
The two separated when they got out of the restaurant, Meng Wei and Xiao Yuanzi followed behind, looking up at Ye Zichuan's side face from time to time, and feeling both happy and grateful, but it almost made Xiao Yuanzi on the side think that Meng Wei was worried about Ye Zichuan like the previous woman, and couldn't help frowning.
But soon, Meng Wei was attracted by the things on the street.
"Why aren't you leaving? What are you staring at that sugar gourd? You wouldn't have eaten this, would you? ”
She has naturally eaten sugar gourds, but modern sugar gourds are about to become a hodgepodge, not only with pineapples, mangoes, peaches, tomatoes, but also kiwifruit, and even she has eaten sugar gourds with braised pork skewered together.
It's as simple as a hawthorn or just an apple wrapped in brown sugar, but it's already a childhood memory.
This kind of thing, which has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, is not easy to come to ancient times, and you have to taste the difference between local 'specialties' and modern snacks.
So Meng Wei nodded cheekily: "The slave has really never eaten this, is it delicious?" ”
Ye Zichuan was stunned for a moment and touched his nose: "This ...... I don't think I've eaten it either. ”
When the words fell, someone who despised Meng Wei just now directly waved his hand: "Xiao Yuanzi, pay, buy two, no, buy three, Ye is not the kind of harsh master, if there is delicious food, you are naturally indispensable." ”
"Little Marquis, minions don't like sweets."
"If you don't like to eat, you have to eat a few bites, otherwise you won't appreciate it!"
Ye Zichuan said that it is a bit eye-catching for an adult man to eat sugar gourd or something on the street, so if he wants to be less eye-catching in this case, then he can only pull another adult man into the water.
So under the leadership of Meng Wei, the trio staged a scene on the streets of the capital to eat wherever they went, a man and a woman in front of them each held a string of sugar gourds in their hands, and the other hand was holding a Tang Huo, as for the relatively inferior lean man behind him, he was holding a lot of food with a frosty face, and the other hand was also holding a sugar gourd.
Many of them subconsciously wanted to make fun of it at the first glance, but at the second glance, they recognized that the person who was eating the sugar gourd with a smile on his face turned out to be Ye Zichuan, the little marquis of the Protector's Mansion who was avoided by the people and businessmen in the capital, and was known as the little demon king of the world.
At that moment, the teasing that surged up to his throat was suddenly suppressed, but then when he watched the maid standing in front of some delicious snacks and showing a pitiful appearance, the little demon king directly waved his hand, so the thin man behind him hurriedly paid and bought three servings.
The three of them ate their newly bought things on the street as if no one was around, which made several small people watching on the sidelines look at each other: "This ...... I'm afraid that this little marquis has changed sex? Or are we mistaken, in fact, this little marquis is impersonating? ”
"Impossible, where is his face so easy to impersonate?"
"I'm curious about who the little girl next to the little marquis is, but the clothes look like maids."
"No, I have to report to my family first."
"Yes, yes, I'm going to go back to the house first, tell my young lady, she is thinking about the little marquis, I don't dare to know and not report it."
Ye Zichuan didn't know how many people he had caused today, and while eating the snacks in his hands, he sighed: "I didn't expect so many delicious foods in the capital, why didn't my master know about it before?" ”
You know, it's weird, just like those modern rich boys, how many people can deign to taste all those stall snacks?
Aren't they all about expensive and high-end restaurant cuisine?
Not to mention this little marquis who doesn't even know the unpeeled cucumber.
Ye Zichuan, who was already a little supportive, just wanted to eliminate food, but he didn't want to go around more and more, and when he returned to the Protector's Mansion, the horse steward hurriedly greeted him, and he didn't forget to glare at Meng Wei: "Little Hou Ye, it's a big deal, Mrs. Hou Ye, come here for a while, and now I'm waiting in the Sichuan Courtyard, let Xiao Hou Ye come over quickly." ”
"They're coming? Could it be that something is wrong? It's not like you're trying to marry me again, are you? ”
Seeing that Ye Zichuan was about to leave, Steward Ma said with a bitter face: "No, no, it seems that the Hou Ye heard something outside, and when he came back, his face was a little unpleasant, and he said...... also said that Meng Wei would go with him. ”
When Meng Wei heard this, she sighed in her heart, and thought about it carefully, could it be that the thing she had made the little marquis have whetted his appetite before made the strict protector know about it, so Aiko wanted to reward her?
