When passing by Yucheng, the two went to Zhennanhou Mansion to rest, Qiu Hu had already packed up his baggage and waited: "You still have your wife and little son, there are many inconveniences, your subordinates are better to go with you, and there is a good way to take care of them on the road." ”

"Okay, let's go together." Pei Ze did not refuse, he got into the carriage to watch the child with Hua Jiao, the carriage was covered with thick mattresses, and even the soft collapse was piled with bedding and several bags of clothes, Pei Ze smiled: "Do you want to live in the carriage?" ”

"The weather is still a little cold, Brother Xuan will sleep as soon as he gets in the car, what should I do if I freeze again?" Hua Jiao put the sleeping child in his arms into the quilt, and said angrily, "You don't know if you don't take the child, in case the bedding is wet, there must be a few changes to use, right?" It's inconvenient to take children for such a long distance! ”

"Okay, okay, I've wronged you." Pei Ze simply got into the bed, hugged the sleeping child, and reached out to pull her, "Lie down together, let's talk." ”

"Lie down, lie down." The pepper took off the silver hairpin pinned to his hair, lay on the other side of Xuan Ge'er, took the pillow and lay down, Qiu Hu was much more stable than Pei Ze, the bumps back and forth were very small, if the weather was warmer, you could open the curtain to watch the scenery along the way, since she came here, she had been to Yucheng at the farthest, and it was a strange place for her to get out of Yucheng.

"Didn't I tell you that Mr. Chang has a weird temperament, you have to be prepared in advance, if you talk to him, if he ignores you, don't take it to heart." Pei Ze said solemnly, "When he was in the northwest, he was proud of his talents, the reason why he was willing to be our master, or was forced by the general of Quande with a knife, he was a literati, and he has always been obsessed with this matter, after the triumph of the northwest, he quietly packed up his burden and ran back to his hometown in Yuzhou, refused to enter Beijing to receive the reward, and refused to enter the palace to seal, last time I followed, I went to Yuzhou with the emperor to see him, he hid after hearing about it, and refused to see us! ”

"In that case, you still invite him into the palace to persuade the emperor? Aren't you sincere in embarrassing him! Hua Jiaojiao looked at him with disgust, "No wonder he refuses to see you." ”

"No, in the face of major rights and wrongs, he can still carry it clearly." Pei Ze said firmly, "As long as I beg him sincerely, he will find a way, we have been together for six years, and I still know him somewhat." ”

"Then why do you have to bring me and Brother Xuan'er?" Huajiao asked again, "Just because he likes children?" ”

"In addition to the fact that he likes children, I brought the whole family to beg him to show my sincerity!" Pei Ze tucked the quilt for the child, and then reached out to rub her delicate eyebrows, "Besides, I want him to see you and let him know that I have a wife, a son and a family, and I am no longer alone." ”

"You've thought it through." Hua Jiao pushed his hand away and said in a low voice, "Don't touch me if you haven't washed your hands." ”

"I'll wash up in the evening......"

"Come less."

……

After walking for more than two hours, the sun was slanting westward, and it had reached the boundary of Yuzhou.

Qiu Hu left the official road, went into the city to find an inn to rest, turned around and turned around, and then stopped in front of a Xifu inn, the inn is not big, but it looks very neat and exquisite, even the road surface at the door is spotless, and someone immediately greeted him: "Hou Ye is finally here." ”

Qiu Hu nodded, and followed the man to drive the carriage into a small courtyard.

Pei Ze was the first to jump out of the carriage.

The man immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "Master Hou, please, the owner is not here, if there is any place where the hospitality is not considerate, please forgive Master Hou." ”

"You're welcome, but we're bothering." Pei Ze lifted the curtain, took the child from Hua Jiao's hand, helped Hua Jiao get out of the carriage, and looked at the man again: "Little Liuzi, you are busy with you, just bring us some hot water in, and we can go to the front to eat some food by ourselves when we turn back." ”

"Look at what Master Hou said, your food has already been prepared, and it is all hot on the stove, if you go to the front hall to eat with the guests, then the owner knows about it, and you must not beat us to death." Xiao Liuzi hurriedly lifted the door curtain, let the two of them in, and said with a smile, "It's all ready, Mrs. Hou will have dinner first!" ”

There was a brazier in the house.

There were several small stoves on the table, and small porcelain pots were placed on the stoves, which were steaming hot.

Further inside are the bedrooms, which are spotlessly cleaned.

Sichuan pepper was secretly surprised.

The windows of this inn are bright and clean, and they are furnished like home.

After Xiao Liuzi retreated, Pei Zecai said to Hua Jiao: "This is Sheng Mingyan's inn, that guy walks outside all the year round, there are inns everywhere, he will not treat his son badly, we just happen to follow the light." ”

Sichuan pepper then realized.

That's great!

Sheng Mingyan can really enjoy it, he will not sleep in the open wherever he goes, he will be at home everywhere, and more importantly, he will not delay making money.

The meal was hearty.

Casserole chicken, sauced beef, salted duck, ten vegetarian dishes, all served on a large plate, and even stewed pureed egg custard for Xuan Ge'er.

Although it was Sheng Mingyan's inn, Qiu Hu cautiously took out the silver needles and tried the poison one by one, and only after confirming that it was correct did he let them move the chopsticks.

Ten vegetarian dishes are a specialty of Yuzhou.

It is ten kinds of vegetarian dishes to fry together, according to the different heat of various dishes, first blanch, or steam, or fully cooked, or five, six, seven, eight or nine medium rare, and finally put together to fry, the taste is also unique.

Sichuan pepper likes this ten vegetarian dish very much.

I secretly thought that when I went back, I would also sell this dish in Mingxianglou, and she had thought of the name and changed it to a mixed dish, which sounded good and atmospheric.

Brother Xuan'er's mashed custard is also good, soft and tender, and the taste is good, Brother Xuan'er ate most of the bowl, and the peppercorns didn't dare to feed it anymore, she was worried about accumulating food at night.

Pei Ze and Qiu Hu were hungry, seeing that the pepper and the child had eaten, the two of them ate the three plates of hard vegetables cleanly, and after eating, the two drank tea for a while, planned the next day's itinerary, and Qiu Hu went to the ear room to rest.

During the night, Brother Xuan got up twice.

Although the pepper recognizes the bed, after all, he has traveled during the day, and he has slept peacefully.

The next day, he continued on his journey and did not enter the city until it was dark.

Pei Ze said that there are still twenty miles away from Mr. Chang's Zhuangzi, and he still has to walk for more than half an hour, but this time the inn is not Sheng Mingyan's, but Qiu Hu's, Sheng Mingyan's inn has always been not far away, Qiu Hu pointed to the intersection in front: "That is Sheng Gongzi's Xifu Inn, which is bigger than yesterday's, because the road in front of the door leads directly to the official road, there are more guests, and the business has been good." ”

"His inn was originally prepared for him, whether he made money or not, I don't think he cares." Pei Ze said, "If he's not here, let's not bother, it's better to live with you." ”

"Xie Hou Ye appreciates his face." Qiu Hu smiled, "I greeted them a few days ago, and they must be all ready. ”

The innkeeper was overjoyed when he saw that the owner was back: "I couldn't believe the news I received before, counting the days on my fingers, the owner is finally back." ”

Qiu Hu was too hospitable.

Ordered someone to prepare a table full of dishes, tried the poison as usual, was full of wine and food, Hua Jiao and Brother Xuan were playing on the side, Pei Ze and Qiu Hu were chatting in a whisper about meeting Mr. Chang tomorrow, although Qiu Hu had an industry here, he didn't know Mr. Chang, and proposed: "Master Hou lives here with peace of mind, and tomorrow I will let people inquire about Mr. Chang's whereabouts first, so as to save the air." ”

"No, let's just go to Zhuangzi." Pei Ze muttered, "If you go to inquire first, he will hide instead." ”

Qiu Hu: "......"

What kind of immortal master is this!
