The afternoon sun is just right, and the market is full of people.

The streets are lined with shops and wine flags. Orchids dressed in exotic costumes danced around the diners, and the orchestra of gonghou was in the ears, delighting the literati and satisfying the appetites of the people.

Among the many wine shops, only the door of Zuixiang Building is closed, isolating the hustle and bustle and prosperity outside.

In the Begonia House behind the Zuixiang Building, Cheng Xiangjin was frowning, listening to the shouting and laughter of the street in front of him, and his mood was even more irritable.

"It's just that Shopkeeper Yang is also sick, otherwise if he is an old man, he may be able to meet some masters who are good at cooking!"

Cheng Xiangjin held his chin, looking a little weak. As the only daughter of Yin Cheng Chang'an of Jingzhao Mansion, she had to figure out her own way at this time. Because her father didn't know that she came to Chang'an City.

Cheng Xiangjin has lived with her grandmother in her hometown in Meixian County since she was a child, and this time she was instructed by her grandmother to take over Zuixianglou as a young owner. If her old-fashioned father knew about this, he would definitely jump to his feet and drive her back to his hometown in Meixian County.

Now it's just been more than a month, and the shopkeeper who has been working hard has fallen ill, and just this morning, the cook who has been here for more than ten years has inexplicably stopped working. The restaurant, which has no shopkeeper and chef, can only close its doors now.

I obviously have a powerful father, but now I can't rely on it. Cheng Xiangjin felt that there seemed to be no more tragic owner in the entire Chang'an City than her.

The maidservant Xiao Yu'er stood behind her, also frowning. I want to enlighten, but I feel that it is better to find a cook than to say anything.

"Why don't you go to the tea house and ask again, see if the second son is there, and let him help me think of a way?"

"My uncle went to the Western Regions, and now I can only hope that my cousin can help! Let's go, let's go and take a look. ”

In order to make it easier to walk, the two changed into men's clothes and hurried out.

The cousin in Cheng Xiangjin's mouth is named Cheng Siyi, and he is the young owner of Jiangnan Tea House. Cheng Xiangjin has been in Chang'an for a short time, and the only one who can help her at this time is her cousin.

The two came to the tea house, and the impatient guy told her that Cheng Siyi was invited to go to Sanssouci Slope, and it was not clear when he would come back.

Cheng Xiangjin looked at the surging crowd and wanted to cry without tears.

In these years, the young man in the tea house dared to show her face, and he knew that it was better to accompany his grandmother in Meixian County.

I don't know if I don't do it now, will I be scolded by my grandmother when I go back?

As if sensing the master's thoughts, Xiao Yu'er reminded casually: "Listen to Lan, that Wei Jialangjun has first-class appearance, and he is the best friend of our eldest son." If she can test next year, the old lady may be able to do this family business. ”

Cheng Xiangjin glared at Xiao Yu'er fiercely, raised his feet and walked out of the city. Damn, even a maidservant girl will threaten people these days! The world is going down!

She doesn't want to marry any Wei Lang!

Why, you ask?

Well, that's a long story.....

To make a long story short, it was Wei Lang's grandfather who asked to marry Cheng Xiangjin's grandmother, but naturally it didn't work out. As a result, Wei Lang's grandfather, who is now Mrs. Wei, fought with Cheng Xiangjin's grandfather a few years later, but Mrs. Cheng lost. Mrs. Wei asked Mrs. Cheng in public to agree, and in the future, the two parties will have children and grandchildren, and if the Wei family wants to get married, the Cheng family cannot refuse. At that time, Mrs. Cheng lost more than she lost and felt that she had no face, so she agreed to this request with the help of wine. That old lady Wei is also a good person, this matter has obviously been planned a long time ago, and while the old lady Cheng nodded, he immediately ordered someone to bring a pen and paper to make a note. Although Mrs. Cheng hesitated a little when she saw this, she was angry because of a few words of ridicule from Mrs. Wei, and she signed it in anger.

More than 40 years have passed, and Mrs. Cheng has passed away for many years. Mrs. Cheng thought that this matter would be settled, but who knew that at the beginning of the year, she waited for a letter from the Wei family. It was written by Wei Lang's grandfather.

It was a marriage proposal for my grandson! It also includes the same note from that year.

In this way, Mrs. Cheng will not be able to shirk it!

Mrs. Cheng had two sons in her life, and gave birth to a granddaughter and two grandsons. Cheng Xiangjin is the only granddaughter.

In the face of the promise, Mrs. Cheng was not easy to refuse, so she had to delay for a while on the grounds that her granddaughter was young and did not go through the world. After all, she only has one granddaughter, Cheng Xiangjin, and she is very precious! Secondly, she also wanted to know more about the little lang of the Wei family through the relationship between her eldest grandson.

After Cheng Xiangjin learned of this, he resolutely disagreed with this family business. Mrs. Cheng asked her why she refused so simply, but she was the son of the servant of the ministry, and he was also one of the most popular sons in Chang'an City.

Who said to her, "My granddaughter doesn't want to promise her life to others because of a promise, marriage is not a transaction, and she doesn't want to be a bargaining chip for this transaction." ”

Although Mrs. Cheng was unhappy on her face, she had to admit in her heart that her granddaughter's words were right.

If she goes back forty years and lets her choose again, she will still choose to marry into the Cheng family. For the Wei family, she is destined to only live up!

In this way, Mrs. Cheng was sent to Zuixiang Building on the grounds of letting her sharpen, and she had the intention of letting her granddaughter come to Chang'an for a long time.

Maybe God has the heart to suffer, and it has only been more than a month since he came, and he gave Cheng Xiangjin these thorny problems.

At this time, compared to the marriage that has not yet been eight characters, it is more tricky to find a cook for Zuixianglou. After all, the restaurant still has to be opened, the money still has to be made, and a lot of people are counting on the restaurant to feed it!

And before finding the cook, it is more important to find his cousin Cheng Siyi.

Following the route from the passers-by, the master and servant walked all the way out of the West City Gate and headed in the direction of Sanssouci Slope.

Cheng Xiangjin heard that the Sanssouci Villa in Sanssouci Po once belonged to the property of King Changyang. There is also a famous liquor produced there, called "Forget Worries", and the rest is unknown.

It seems that when Cheng Siyi is found, he will have to make up for the recent situation inside and outside Chang'an City.

Cheng Xiangjin pondered all the way, and unconsciously walked in front of a peach forest.

At this time, when the peaches are ripe, the trees are full of delicate and beautiful peaches hanging on the branches, and people are unconsciously moving their index fingers.

"Wow, I've never seen so many peaches, it's so pretty!"

Xiao Yu'er couldn't wait to put her eyes on the peach in front of her, swallowing her saliva while looking at her master expectantly. It seems that he is only waiting for Cheng Xiangjin to give an order.

"yes, I don't know whose peach is such a good one?" Although Cheng Xiangjin muttered like this, his eyes did not forget to glance around. When she found that the entire hillside was silent, as if there was no one to guard it, her heart was overjoyed.

"After walking such a long way, I really can't walk, and I'm very thirsty. Why don't we pick two and try them? ”

Xiao Yu'er couldn't bear the gluttony in his heart in good morning, and when he saw the master's signal, he hurriedly responded excitedly as if the chicken pecked rice. The pair of devil claws one in each hand, and immediately carried the big and red ones in front of him in his arms. After cleaning up by the river not far away, the master and servant sat down on the ground under the peach tree and gnawed happily.

After eating a few peaches, the two were still unsatisfied. Cheng Xiangjin smiled lightly at Xiao Yu'er, "The two of them ate too fast just now, and they haven't tasted it yet, why don't you pick two more and give it to your cousin to taste?" ”

Xiao Yu'er nodded violently again, and was about to reach out to pick peaches, but was stopped by Cheng Xiangjin, "Change the tree to pick, this time I'll come!" ”

Before Xiao Yu'er could hesitate, she had already stood up. After taking a general look at the surrounding peach trees, I had a goal in mind.

"That's it!"

Raised his hand and patted the peach tree in the photo, and bent the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

Rolled up his sleeves, lifted his skirt, and then climbed up with a slight leap through the low and thick branches in front of him.

Xiao Yu'er was simply stunned by her neatness, and almost clapped her hands!

Cheng Xiangjin spread his feet and firmly kicked on the crossed branches, and he couldn't suppress the pride in his heart. The heart is like this, climbing trees turns out to be nothing more than that! It's so easy!

Unhurriedly picked several big peaches, but before he had time to be happy, he was hit by an unknown thing, his knees were weak, his feet slipped, and suddenly there was a 360-degree extremely fast rotation, and with a "bang" sound, even the person with the peach fell to the ground.

Cheng Xiangjin glanced at the peaches with gold stars in his eyes, and felt extremely sorry in his heart, and the accident always came at such a bad time.

Before Cheng Xiangjin recovered from the fall, he heard a scolding voice not far away: "Who is it?" Dare to steal the peaches of Sanssouci Slope! ”

Cheng Xiangjin fell into a daze, and when he heard the scolding, he immediately cheered up, looked up and looked around, huh? No one?

Haunted in broad daylight?

Before she could figure it out, she saw a white cloud rushing towards her at a great speed.

When she saw it clearly, Cheng instantly gasped.

"Big ..... Big white goose? ”
