Chapter 282: Long Years
Although it was already late autumn, the flames burning in the palace made delicate beads of sweat on her forehead.
Meng Yining's face was full of grievances, and she muttered in a low voice, "Everything is good here, but there are no braised pork ribs...... I want to eat osmanthus cake and braised pork ribs. ”
Her pitiful appearance melted the tip of Le Yi's heart.
The desolate wind blows and does not extinguish Yan Rong's lost and regained enthusiasm. The people all thought that it was the river that was angry and flooded the capital, otherwise even if Beiyang had such ability, it would not be possible for him to mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
Meng Yining listened to the whispers of the people, she seemed to be involved in other people's lives, and walked out of the palace along the path lit with candles, Meng Yining saw a familiar place, where she often played when she was a child. She looked up at the bright stars in the night sky, and suddenly smelled a smell of sour noodle soup and tofu casserole.
Meng Yining was originally puzzled, it stands to reason that Daxia's tofu should be much more delicious than Yan Rong's, but it is not as sweet as Yan Rong, and later I learned that Yan Rong's tofu pot still has some milk tofu, with a little sweetness.
"Let's go, let's see!" Le Yi knew that Meng Yining smelled something delicious.
The two of them walked over to the smell and saw a middle-aged man with a somewhat old face, he was cooking a large sour noodle soup next to the collapsed wooden building on the side of the road, and there was an old soup made of tofu next to it.
The girl swallowed a mouthful of saliva and laughed out two pear vortices.
Le Yi asked, "Boss, how do you sell these two things......
The man didn't look up either, "Three dollars a bowl." ”
"Whoa." Le Yi put the copper plate next to the man, "I want two bowls." ”
The man opened the lid and it was steaming, and the fragrance of tomatoes and spices spread across the tip of his nose. Meng Yi was greedy and wanted to bring it over and drink the soup directly, Le Yi smiled and said, "I'm afraid of being hot, you should be careful." ”
"Guest, look for your money." The man looked up and was stunned.
Meng Yining was also stunned for a moment, she obviously didn't know who the other party was, but looking at the man's eyes, he seemed to know himself.
"What's wrong? Do I have anything on my face? Meng Yining asked softly.
The man opened his mouth and looked at Meng Yining's appearance, and he suddenly remembered that he had met a former old man half a year ago, the white family daughter who often came to the store to eat sour noodle soup and took her sister to eat tofu pot.
The man's whole body was trembling, and tears were flowing down his eyes, and he did not hide his emotions at this moment.
"White ...... Miss Bai ...... "He read the name tremblingly.
Like a spell, tears flowed down his face in an instant, "You're actually, you're still alive......"
Meng Yining was taken aback.
"Back then, my store was on the two streets outside the General's Mansion, your sister, your sister has been here......" The man suddenly became incoherent, "You are my great benefactor, when I was sick, it was still the money that the eldest lady gave me, let me take a good look, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live today......"
At that time, Meng Yining was still young, and he couldn't remember the face, but could only remember the taste.
But she suddenly remembered.
That familiar feeling, tossing and turning the tender past.
"Is that you?"
"It's me...... Miss! Miss, you're still alive! He trembled and clasped Meng Yining's hand, "I didn't expect that I would be able to see you again!" His whole face flushed with excitement.
Hometown and old people.
The man rubbed his oily hands on his body, and asked embarrassedly, "Miss, this is your husband......"
"Ah......" Meng Yining thought for a moment and replied obediently, "Yes......"
"It's really a talent!" The man looked at Meng Yining, as if he was looking at his daughter, "I'll just say, I'll say that the Bai family shouldn't be the last one!" Half a year ago, I met someone who looked a lot like your sister! ”
"That's my sister." Meng Yining nodded.
"She's still alive?"
"That's right."
"Is there anyone else?" The man asked delightfully.
Meng Yining smiled bitterly, "No, it's just the two of us." ”
"Back then, I went to the General's Mansion to see it, and there was blood all over the ground, and there was no living mouth...... Alas...... At the beginning, if I had looked around again, I might have found that there was a little boy alive. The man thumped his chest.
"It's fine." Meng Yining smiled, "It's all over." ”
The man suddenly remembered something, "Hasn't Miss suffered all these years?" ”
"It's not bitter."
She shook her head, tears in her eyes.
"It's not bitter and it's so thin, eat more...... Alas, alas, how can I ask you for money and give it back to you......" The man took out a few more copper plates.
"Don't, small business, it's fine." Meng Yining said, but instead kicked him another tael of silver, "Do you remember...... This money will be used as a gift to meet again, and we must live a good life......"
She had the same face as her father, and there was tenderness and certainty in her eyes.
"The houses are all collapsed, and they can't be rebuilt, so you can keep them, there are more places to use the money." Meng Yining refused the man's return and clapped his hands.
The man's tears of joy were hot in the cold wind.
"Come on, come on, eat more, eat more! Madame, bring me that wild vegetable cake from my pot too! ”
Two people sat on the side of the road and served a table full of dishes.
Meng Yining hadn't been late for a long time, and he swallowed the hula in his stomach. Sour and spicy, appetizing and refreshing, the oily diced eggplant and potatoes are soft in the mouth. The girl drank a large bowl and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
"Where does the girl live? If I don't have a place to live, if I don't dislike it, I still have a shed in my house to live in temporarily. ”
"No, we have a place to live."
"I'm relieved that you're doing well."
Suddenly, a little guard followed Meng Yining's trace and suddenly ran over, "Princess! ”
"Princess?" The man was stunned and was about to kneel, how did Miss Bai become a princess?
Meng Yining helped him, "It's okay, you don't need to salute." ”
She turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Le Yi also noticed it, and he whispered, "Yi Ning...... Something is wrong......"
In Baiyue City, there was an aura of slaughter in an instant.
The little guard leaned over and said, "Lord Fenghua asked me to come to look for you and return to the palace quickly." ”
Something bad must have happened, otherwise Xia Fenghua would not have found himself in such a hurry. Meng Yining looked at the man, "Pack up your things, don't go into the city for two days, listen to me." ”
Years of sensitivity have allowed her to guess all sorts of scenarios that might happen.
"Good...... Okay......" The man nodded hurriedly.
"Let's go!"
Le Yi whistled, and the horse that had been following the two galloped out of the alley.
After a stick of incense, the two returned to the palace, for fear that it would be too late.
