Although it is still a little cold outside, the weather is rare in winter, and it is a good time to hurry.

Mu Ruqing and Fang Cannon rode horses, Uncle Hua and Ruan Bai each drove a carriage, and the group walked out of the towering city gate with laughter. They traveled lightly this time, so they didn't bring many people, only Jiang Xinyue's two palace maids who knew martial arts tread water and Fufeng for personal protection, and the rest of them stayed in the capital, and they really didn't need anyone, they were all used to being self-sufficient, and they were not squeamish Miss Gui.

Out of the city, the air was a little fresher, and after walking for a while, it was noon, and everyone stopped at the side of the official road, found a flat place, spread out blankets, and began to prepare lunch.

In the same way, many people stopped on the side of the road to rest, each occupying a place and having nothing to do, and some even gathered together to eat together.

Ruan Mianmian, Jiang Xinyue and Liu Xin'er all put on veils and got out of the car, took some of the ingredients prepared in the car behind them and packed them up carefully, what they brought the most this time was food, they were afraid that there would be a hungry stomach on the road again, and they planned to stop in a few big cities to replenish supplies on the way.

The cannon here has also set up a pot, and boiled a bag of hot pot base divided into small bags, and as soon as the water in the pot is boiled, the fragrance spreads out quickly, and many people are looking at this side.

The aroma of the hot pot is strong, the recognition is very high, and this is only a delicious taste that only has a good fragrance in the capital, whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries, they have to order from a product of incense to eat.

A few young men and women over there muttered for a while at the smell, and then pushed a cheerful-looking teenager over. The young man's face was a little red, he rubbed his hands, and walked to the side of the person with a little slowness.

"A few friends, we are from the Wei State Mansion, and we came out to play today." The young man stretched out his hand and pointed to them, "I don't know if I can ask you for a bowl of hot pot soup, I smell that you are cooking a fragrant hot pot, it is so fragrant." After that, he smiled embarrassedly.

Ruan Mianmian was sitting on the ground adding vegetables to the pot, looking at the young man's appearance, she couldn't help laughing, she smiled and said: "It's just a hot pot, thank you for liking, I'll give you a bag of base ingredients." She reached out and took a bag of packed base material from Fang Cannon, and handed it to the young man.

The young man was a little surprised, he smiled so much that the pear vortices on both sides of his mouth deepened, his eyes brightened and he glanced at Ruan Mianmian, and asked suspiciously: "Did you buy your hot pot ingredients from Yipinxiang, how can I remember that they only deliver takeaways, not base ingredients?" Hey, I see that the girl's eyebrows and eyes are a little familiar, do we know each other? ”

This made the rest of the people laugh, and the young man was a little inexplicable and didn't think about it. In this capital, half of the people have watched Ruan Mianmian's food broadcast, and they have eaten a fragrant hot pot, but this young man has also watched the food broadcast, so he feels that Ruan Mianmian is familiar, and everyone else does not appear in front of the public, so naturally he does not know him.

Ruan Mianmian also smiled with crooked eyebrows, reached out and took off the light veil, revealing his face, the young man was stunned when he saw it, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"You... Are you Ruan Mianmian? A fragrant food broadcast? The emperor's newly crowned Ruliang monarch? ”

"Shhh Liu Xin'er blinked her eyes and looked at Ruan Mianmian playfully.

"You also know that I have made the county lord, and it seems that I am also our young master." Ruan Mianmian beckoned him to sit down and began to choose vegetables again. The fact that she became the county lord was not widely publicized, which was also requested by her and the Queen Mother, after all, she also has an identity as a food broadcaster, and she can't affect her work because she became the county lord.

"I am actually the youngest grandson of Wei Guogong, my name is Wei Xunyi, and I have met the county lord of Ruliang." The young man arched his hand at Ruan Mianmian, and Ruan Mianmian returned the salute slightly.

"Are you all people with a taste of incense, I look at it." He turned his head to look around, but didn't find any familiar faces, and only when he saw Fang Dacang did he say, "I know this brother, I have seen you in Yipinxiang." ”

Fang Cannon is always sent in the hall, and he collects money after settling accounts, and he can be regarded as the second most famous person in Yipinxiang.

He added a fire to the pot and asked, "Where is Wei Gongzi going?" ”

"These are relatives and friends of our government, we are going to Ruliang to meet my grandmother, where are you going?" Wei Xunyi was no longer angry, took a sip of the soup that Mu Ruqing gave him, and beckoned his people to come over, those men and women were not very old, and they came over one by one to salute and sit together.

"Let's go to Nancheng, speaking of which, we can walk together for a while, Ruliang is a fiefdom of sleep, and it's good to take a look by the way." Mu Ruqing answered.

Although Wei Xunyi is not very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, he must have a certain amount of thought in the Wei State Mansion, and he can see at a glance that although Ruan Mianmian has a higher status, the man in front of him is the one who makes the decision in this group of people, and immediately responded: "It is our honor to be able to walk with the person of Yipinxiang." ”

So when he set off again, two more carriages were followed by two more carriages, and a total of four carriages slowly traveled along the wide pipeline. Wei Xunyi and the other two attendants were all on horseback, but the remaining two young ladies were going to take a car, and they happened to sit with Ruan Mianmian and them, and after a while, they became familiar with each other and started playing.

Mu Ruqing was already extremely handsome, sitting on the horse at this time, holding the reins in his hand, his starry eyes were shining with some indescribable light, and he quietly looked at Wei Xunyi who was following him. This little young master of the Wei Mansion looks lively and straightforward, but his face is expressionless when no one sees it, and the fine skin and tender flesh raised on the back of his hand are like a little girl's hands, but the palm and fingertips obviously have traces of perennial martial arts, and even the well-informed Mu Ruqing is a little curious about his true temperament.

"Has Wei Gongzi ever been to Yipinxiang for a meal?" Mu Ruqing asked seemingly casually.

"I've been there once or twice, and it's all friends who get together, but unfortunately I've only been in Beijing for a short time, and I haven't seen the grand occasion when Yipinxiang became popular at that time." Wei Xunyi replied calmly.

"At that time, Yipinxiang was about to be unable to do it, if it weren't for Anyang Hou to help us and have the help of sleep, I'm afraid it would have been closed long ago." Mu Ruqing sighed, very emotional.

"Oh? Do Hou Fu and Yipinxiang also have a relationship? I don't know. ”

"Naturally, it's just the friendship of the old years, and now we are just working together to do business." Mu Ruqing bowed his head, and the moment he turned his head, he caught a strange light flashing in Wei Xunyi's eyes, but he couldn't see through the emotion, Mu Ruqing's heart was even more doubtful, but he couldn't find a topic to continue to probe, so he had to give up.

Walking all the way to the south, stopping and stopping in the middle for the time being, ten days later, the group arrived at a small county town bordering Ruliang. This county seat is called Gaoyuan County, you can reach the boundary of Ruliang after walking here, but it is late, and everyone is not in a hurry, so they temporarily entered the county to find an inn, opened a few rooms to rest, and planned to enter Ruliang City again the next day.

Gaoyuan is already a relatively southerner city, and the temperature is much higher than that of the capital, but fortunately, Ruan Mianmian and the others brought all kinds of clothes, so they all changed into thick winter clothes and put on thinner clothes.

In the capital in the first month, there is no grass on the ground, and the trees are also bare and gray, but here it is different, the crops in the fields have sprouted, and there are even books with green leaves, which do not look like winter at all.

Staying in the inn, Ruan Mianmian and Jiang Xinyue were in the same room, Jiang Xinyue went to make the bed and check the things in the room as soon as she came in, and Ruan Mianmian pushed open the window and looked at the street downstairs.

The buildings in this county are all made of wood, which looks chic and beautiful, and a special layer of glaze is painted on the wall for fire prevention, which is shiny and shiny.

At this time, it is evening, many tourists carry all kinds of lanterns like another street, some vendors selling snacks and candy people also gather there, and a bright fireworks explode in the sky from time to time, as if there is some activity.

Ruan Mianmian leaned out to look, and behind him, Jiang Xinyue called Xiao Er to ask him to fetch hot water, Ruan Mianmian turned around and asked Xiao Er: "Where are these people outside in a hurry?" ”

Seeing this delicate little girl suddenly turned around, Xiao Er scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Miss, you are not a local, the custom of our county is to visit the temple fair on the night of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and there will be all kinds of fun at the meeting, juggling circus, snacks and delicacies, everything." ”

Seeing Ruan Mianmian's curiosity that he couldn't hide, Xiao Er smiled again: "Why don't you take the two young ladies to go shopping?" Generally people from other places don't know what is really interesting here, follow me to promise not to let you be fooled and have a good time, you go to inquire, I Ma Zhuang is a famous honest person in these ten miles and eight towns! ”

Ruan Mianmian was about to go with him for joy, but Jiang Xinyue grabbed her and said to the little er: "You go to the first floor and wait, we will call our companions and decide whether to go or not." ”

Seeing her like this, Xiao Er didn't say much, smiled and exited and closed the door, his steps were getting smaller and smaller, and it seemed that he had gone downstairs. Ruan Mianmian stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "I was just greedy for fun, and I forgot to call them with cannons, I should fight them." ”

"It's not for this, even if you want to play, you don't need someone else to take it, let's just go shopping by ourselves, do you think he is so kind to give you a guide for free?"

Jiang Xinyue walked the rivers and lakes outside, and she had a lot of knowledge and experience, so she naturally knew that she couldn't afford to be unprofitable, and she wouldn't easily trust anyone other than Yipinxiang. Jiang Xinyue had encountered a trafficking incident before, this kind of thing is also called "shooting flowers", at that time it was on a very lively festival, she passed by to save a girl who was stunned by human traffickers, if it weren't for her martial arts, the girl didn't know where to sell, so she was extra vigilant against the kindness of strangers.
