Chapter 185: Hit it off

Chang'an is not far from Luoyang, Lin Mei and his party took a carriage and arrived in Chang'an at noon the next day. casually found an inn to settle down, and before the salute was settled, the lord of Jiaoyue sent a slave to pick it up.

When Lin Mei heard this, she was startled, and thought that she had inadvertently offended the county lord, and after Qi Niang's explanation, she knew that the county lord of Jiaoyue had a great relationship with the king of Qi, and it must have been entrusted by the king of Qi.

When I first arrived, it was naturally a good thing to have the county lord to take care of her, but Lin Mei had a reason to refuse, so she simply left the room and followed the mother-in-law sent by the county lord.

Looking at the plaque with the three block letters "Princess's Mansion", he was taken aback, and quietly asked: "What is the origin of this Bright Moon County Lord, how can he live in the Princess's Mansion?" ”

"The master doesn't know, the biological mother of the lord of Jiaoyue County has become the late eldest princess of Ming Xiangyang, the first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the county lord of Jiaoyue moved back to the princess's mansion from the palace."

"Oh, how old is the county lord this year, has he ever been married?"

"The county lord is the same age as the master, and he has never been married, and the emperor once pointed out a family matter, but the man died within a year, and the marriage is yellow."

In a few words, Lin Mei knew the roughly.

"The carriage and horses are tired, the little lady washes in Zhiqiu Hall first, the county lord has already instructed the slaves and maids to prepare the banquet, and when the little lady has eaten the banquet, she can rest, and the county lord will summon the little lady to talk when she is in the past." The steward's wife who led the way said.

Lin Mei gave a salute, had the intention of forming a good fate, took out a purse and stuffed it in her hand, and said: "Let the county lord bother, there is a labor steward to take care of my family for me, this is my little heart, Mama don't refuse, Qi Niang will send Mama for me." ”

The housekeeper who led the way pinched the purse, which contained two pieces like big fingers and thumbs, and thanked him happily, and suddenly had a little more affection for the master and servant.

Lin Mei looked at Zhiqiu Hall carefully, the furnishings seemed ordinary, and the large pieces of red sandalwood furniture, at least decades old, were full of grandeur.

If it comes, it will be safe. Lin Mei and Qi Niang had a hot meal, rested for half an hour, and then washed up and waited for the summons of the county lord.

When the county lord of Jiaoyue saw Lin Mei herself, he sighed and said: "If I didn't know the relationship between you and the sixth brother, I would have been another sister-in-law, look at your style and appearance, even in Lord Chang'an's house, it is difficult to find." ”

Lin Meishi saluted, got up and replied: "Don't laugh at me, the county lord, I'm used to wearing Hu clothes on weekdays, if it wasn't for the princess summoning me, I wouldn't be too lazy to wear this shirt and skirt, it's inconvenient." ”

Lin Mei's straightforwardness and unpretentiousness, without modesty and stammering, made the eyes of the county lord of Jiaoyue shine, and he immediately fell in love with this civilian woman.

"I like your temperament very much, not like those famous ladies, all of them are hypocritical and pretentious, and you have to make a look like everyone, come, get closer to me, let's talk." After speaking, the county lord of Jiaoyue pointed to the embroidery stool next to him.

Lin Mei took the opportunity to look at the main house of the county lord with her spare light, spacious and bright, really like a princess-like style, the furnishings everywhere looked graceful and luxurious, and the pink curtain was warm and exquisite.

"I heard that your hometown is in Baishui Town, Bingzhou, four years ago, I traveled with my sixth brother and went to it once, I remember eating a table of noodles in what building, among which there is a mapo tofu, spicy and numb, the tofu is smooth and tender, the key is that the more you eat, the more you want to eat, but unfortunately I haven't eaten it for many years." As he spoke, the Lord of the Bright Moon began to salivate in his mouth.

"The county lord must have eaten mapo tofu in Juxian Building."

"Exactly, exactly, I remember that there is a fresh building, and Sister Lin also runs a restaurant, will your chef do you? If you know how to make this dish, can you ask your chef to renovate a table so that I can live my cravings. ”

"Coincidentally, this dish, I was still to promote my Lin family's tofu, so I gave this mapo tofu and other tofu dishes to Juxian Building, the county lord wanted to taste it, it was natural, but I listened to the county lord's orders."

The county lord of Jiaoyue showed a surprised expression, "Tell me quickly, what other dishes your chef will have, you can't hide it, or you can make it together today." ”

"Lin Mei is deeply honored to be loved by the county lord, but there are not thousands of dishes that my chef can make, but there are hundreds of dishes, if they are made one by one, I am afraid that it will be day and night, and I will be busy until the day after tomorrow." Lin Mei smiled.

"I only pick a few of the best dishes, but mapo tofu must be made, and I have been hungry for several years."

When Phantom Xiang heard this, she smiled vigorously and said: "County Lord, you should restrain yourself in front of the little lady of the Lin family, let people listen to the joke, the dignified princess's mansion seems to be hungry for you." ”

"In front of outsiders, maybe the county lord is still pretending, but now in front of Sister Lin, I don't need it, Sister Lin will definitely not laugh at me."

"It is a blessing to be able to eat, I just like food, and this is the Hongxing Building, which can not only make money to support my family, but also satisfy my appetite, killing two birds with one stone."

"This is a wonderful idea, but it's a pity that I can only eat, I don't know how to cook, otherwise I would also open a restaurant, every day in the mountains and seas, it's very pleasant to think about."

"As the saying goes, you can't eat too much, if you delicate the mountains and seas every day, sooner or later you will be tired of eating, it is better to eat once in a while like now, and leave some thoughts."

The county lord of Jiaoyue nodded hurriedly and said: "That's it, that's it, now I'm tired of abalone bird's nest, I can't eat it, but I miss the local snacks and delicacies I tasted when I was playing." I still don't believe it, saying that I was born in happiness and don't know blessings. ”

For a while, the two found a common topic and had a good conversation. The county lord of Jiaoyue had a playful temperament and wanted to invite her to go to the market together tomorrow, and Lin Mei also wanted to take the opportunity to see the prosperity of Chang'an, and the two hit it off.

Chang'an is worthy of being Kyoto, the street is spacious, the road is extended, all kinds of street snacks, there are a few shops a few feet away, selling all kinds of local snacks, each family does not conflict, there are guests around early in the morning.

After all, the county lord of Jiaoyue was the head dragon of the land, so he acted as a guide for Lin Mei, talking to the street snacks about what each family was selling, which ones were delicious and which ones were not delicious, but it seemed that he often came out to forage for food.

Passing by an alley, the county lord of Jiaoyue pointed to the dim sum shop outside the car and said with a smile: "This dim sum is the best one I have ever tasted, and his acacia osmanthus milk tofu and crystal osmanthus cake are my favorites, why don't we get out of the car and try it?" ”

Lin Mei is a foodie, and she came out early in the morning with an empty stomach, just to taste the food, listening to her introduction, I really want to taste the taste, and learn a few tricks casually.

The dim sum shop is not large, and there are two huts on the left and right, with tables and chairs for customers to eat in the store.

Lin Mei followed the county lord into the hut on the left, the county lord was used to coming, and directly leaned against the window with his back.

Lin Mei sat below her, right in front of the door, and was looking around, seeing that the hut on the right already had guests. Thinking that the business of this shop should be good, I was about to call Xiao Er, and I saw a woman from the opposite hut, who was very familiar and familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it for a while.

Seeing her staring out of the door, the Lord of the Bright Moon County looked at her and said, "It's just a prostitute, just for people to have fun, there's nothing to see." ”

"Does the county lord know this person?" Lin Mei said curiously.

"I've seen it once in the Rongguo Mansion, and I've heard about it." After saying that, he looked like he didn't want to mention it again.
