Chapter 40: Behind Closed Doors
There are pots of ornamental fish of different colors on the fish stall, because it is not common, so it attracts many people to watch, especially the curious children, who enclose the fish basin with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Ning Bosheng didn't like to join in the fun, so he stood far away from the crowd, frowning and watching.
Xiangyang thought that he was angry that those people were blocking him from watching the fish, so he gave Lan Ruo a look and asked her to drive the crowd away.
Lan Ruo squeezed out a path among the children, and Xiangyang pulled Ning Bosheng closer to the fish basin.
But the child is so regular, a child saw that the excellent viewing position he had chosen was occupied, and he couldn't get angry, so he broke free from Lan Ruo's hand and squeezed in.
The crowd was pushed around, and accidentally a pot of fish was knocked over and fell to the ground, and the water splashed up half a person high, and it happened that it all fell on Ning Bosheng's body.
When he landed, his plain white robe was soaked and smelled of fish.
Xiangyang was frightened, and hurriedly wiped Ning Bosheng with a handkerchief, and did not forget to scold the children around him: "You untouchables, do you understand the rules!" ”
Ning Bosheng looked at Uncle Cao and raised his eyebrows slightly, Uncle Cao immediately understood, stepped forward and pulled Ning Bosheng anxiously and said: "Lord Wang, your whole body is wet, be careful that the wind blows cold, let's hurry back to the house and change our clothes." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Ning Bosheng back into the carriage.
Xiangyang panicked, why was he about to leave after just walking around for a while, but Uncle Cao turned around and said hello with a smile, "County Lord, let's go back to the house first, and you should go back early." ”
Ma slipped into the carriage and took Ning Bosheng away.
Only Xiangyang threw the handkerchief angrily, and brought the child who had just twisted the most fiercely to count the few and let out his anger.
"Turn around and go to Zhujia Fish House."
Uncle Cao drove around the Zhu family from the inconspicuous path, and Ning Bosheng saw that the gate was closed, and his heart was slightly astringent.
He got out of the car and knocked on the door of Zhu's house, but no one responded.
"Will you not be at home?"
Cao went around to the Zhujia Fish Restaurant, but found that the store was not open, and no one responded when he knocked on the door.
Ning Bosheng lowered his eyes, lost in his heart, and suddenly heard a slight sound of the door opening in the house.
Someone must have been there, but no one came to open the door if they kept knocking.
He deliberately raised his voice and said to Uncle Cao: "It seems that Miss Zhu is not at home, let's wait at the door and wait for her to come back." ”
After that, he really stood quietly at the door and waited.
After a while, the door opened, and Zhu Fang poked his head out of it with an apologetic look on his face.
"The prince is here, I didn't hear the knock on the door just now, please forgive me for opening the door late."
Ning Bosheng shook his head, "It's okay." But his eyes glanced into the courtyard and saw that the door of Zhu Yuan's room was closed.
Zhu Fang greeted him and asked him if the journey back to Beijing was smooth and whether the palace was settled well, but he didn't let him enter the house.
Ning Bosheng replied a few words hastily, and said while Zhu Fang was ventilating: "I don't know if Miss Zhu can take medicine?" Better? ”
"It's better, but the body still doesn't have much strength, and I still have to take care of it for a while."
Zhu Fang saw Ning Bosheng's thoughts and said to him: "Please forgive me, Yuanyuan is asleep now, and I can't come out to entertain the prince." ”
Ning Bosheng was a little disappointed, but he couldn't bear to wake up Zhu Yuan, so he could only nod lightly and go home.
After Zhu Fang closed the door, Zhu Yuan's door opened, and she stood at the door, looking at the closed door in a daze.
She actually didn't sleep, and what Zhu Fang said to Ning Bosheng just now was what Zhu Yuan told him to say.
Zhu Fang sighed: "Yuanyuan, why are you doing this?" The prince also sent you such a good medicine, why didn't you even want to see him? ”
Zhu Yuan retracted his gaze and smiled slightly: "Dad, I'm really tired, if the prince asks me to cook a fish banquet on a whim, I can't afford to toss." ”
Zhu Fang believed it and urged her to hurry back to the house and have a good rest.
Just as he was about to close the door, Ning Baibei came back from playing outside, and when he saw that Zhu Yuan's face was not very good, he said worriedly: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Mother is fine, didn't you say that you were playing with the little egg next door, why did you come back so early?"
Ning Baibei said excitedly: "Mother, I heard someone on the street that my father is coming to Huainan, you can take me to find him!" I miss him! ”
Zhu Yuan's face was embarrassed, she couldn't let Ning Baibei know that Ning Bosheng had just left on his front foot.
She patted Ning Baibei's little head and said patiently: "Baibei, the prince has something to do when he comes to Huainan, so let's not bother him." ”
Ning Baibei pouted, "But I really miss my father, don't worry, I will never disturb him." ”
Zhu Yuan couldn't resist him, so he could only promise to take him to Ning Bosheng when he was free, as for when he was free...... I can't say for sure.
Because Zhang Chi was behind her back and caused her to go to prison, no one dared to come to the fish restaurant to eat, and the fish restaurant was open for several days without business.
She is almost in good health, and she has to find a way to get her business up and running, and she can't let those who want to frame her succeed.
"Bai Bei, are there any new fish species in the fishing space?" She plans to introduce a few new dishes to attract the public's attention and attract customers.
Ning Baibei tilted his head and thought about it, and came up with an idea.
"There are sea areas in the space, and you used some land freshwater fish species or some offshore fish as materials, and you haven't touched some larger fish in the far sea."
Yes, Huainan is not along the coast, and it is more difficult to transport marine fish, so marine fish are not common.
If you can come up with some seafood dishes yourself, it will surely arouse their curiosity.
Ning Baibei took Zhu Yuan's hand, the white light flashed, and the two entered the fishing space together.
In front of you is a vast and boundless sea, and the sun shines on the sea, sparkling, and you can even see fish jumping out of the water in the distance.
Ning Baibei clasped his two little fat hands together, closed his eyes and recited two incantations, and a big boat appeared in front of them.
"Let's go, mother, let's go fishing!"
When he stepped on the deck of the big ship, Zhu Yuan was a little excited.
Whether before or after the crossing, Zhu Yuan has never been to the sea, let alone experienced the feeling of standing in the vast ocean.
The distance is mysterious to her, and because she doesn't understand it, she is still a little scared.
"Will there be sharks or something?" Zhu Yuan faintly felt that there was something black under the water, swimming past the bottom of the boat, and his hand couldn't help but clench tighter.
"Yes, there are many, many species of fish."
Ning Baibei asked Zhu Yuan to take out a big fishing net from the cabin, and after the boat sailed ten miles from the shore, he sprinkled the fishing net.
Ning Baibei winked at Zhu Yuan mischievously, pressed a finger to his lips, and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't make a sound, you will be able to catch a big fish in a while." ”
When fishing takes a long time, the "mother and son" sit on the deck, one wearing a straw hat, swaying their legs and basking in the sun.
