In the early morning of the second day, before she had time to have breakfast, Mrs. Jiang took a carriage to leave Yifu and go to the Centennial Temple. Jiang wanted to fast vegetarian for three days in the temple, so he entrusted his son Meng Qihan, the Marquis of Changping, to Lin: "The mountains are poor and boring, and my son is a naughty one, I'm afraid that I can't stay in the temple, and I have to make me feel bad; Let him stay in your house, and if he does anything wrong, you will have to bear with him. Jiang Shi held the silk peony handkerchief in her hand, and she held Lin's hand with both hands and said.

Jiang is not afraid of Meng Qihan causing trouble, she is still relieved of her son, but the scene is beautiful.

"Mrs. Hou is too modest, where is the son of the world stubborn, I think the son of the world is sensible and reasonable; Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Lin's humble and polite reply, and his attitude towards Jiang was not only kind but also very sincere, which made Jiang very useful.

So, like this, like that, Meng Qihan stayed alone in Yifu and began a short guest life.

Because Jiang explained when he left that he didn't need to give Meng Qihan special treatment, just treat him as a junior, so Lin didn't deliberately send his breakfast to the guest house, but let him go to Ci'an Hall to eat together. So Meng Qihan naturally joined the breakfast team of Yi Mansion, but it is not special to say that it is not special, but the enthusiasm that should be there has not decreased at all, Meng Qihan is in a different special, in the lively breakfast is forced to enjoy the Yi family's VIP service to him.

First of all, Mrs. Yi Mo, she said very kindly: "Shizi try this colorful egg roll, this is a new food that the chef has recently studied, the old body thinks it tastes good, you can also eat it." Without waiting for Meng Qihan to refuse, he used chopsticks to sandwich a colorful egg roll into the blue and white glazed engraved baby play pattern bowl in front of Meng Qihan.

Then there was Mrs. Lin of the big house: "The prince of the world drink some soy milk with it!" This soy milk is ground after soaking the best beans overnight, and then slowly boiling with fresh milk over low heat. ”

Yi Xiangxiang heard Lin's words and looked up at the soy milk, unimpressed; How good does soy milk and milk be? Anyway, she thought it was a dark cooking, and she didn't want to touch it, so she specially moved her body to stay away from the soy milk.

Yi Luochuan saw his sister's movements, and he also felt that the soy milk tasted bad, but his mother said that soy milk and milk are good things, and drinking them can strengthen the body. Yi Luochuan took the opportunity to scoop a bowl for his sister, and the latter's eyes glared at him with flames.

Meng Qihan didn't see the eyes of the two brothers and sisters, because he didn't even have time to respond to the Mo family and the Lin family, and the Huang family in the second room couldn't sit still, so he only heard her say: "Do you want to taste this duck porridge first?" This duck meat has been simmered for more than ten hours, the duck meat is tender and delicious, and the porridge is also soft and delicious. ”

Meng Qihan: "......"

The final result of the breakfast on the first day was that Meng Qihan ate all the breakfast snacks in the bowl with his stomach propped up, and walked a full stick of incense in the garden before he slightly lost some food.

Of course, the enthusiasm of the Yi family did not end here, the academy has already had a holiday, because winter is coming soon, and it is inconvenient to slip out of the door in cold weather, so almost all the students of the Li Dynasty will end their schoolwork in the academy in late autumn. At this time, the children of the Yi family who were on vacation were all free, which really made Meng Qihan more and more busy.

He eats a rich breakfast every morning, and Yi Hanchen will take him to West Street in the morning to enjoy the scenery, but Yi Hanchen is younger than Meng Qihan after all, and he pretends to be old to see Meng Qihan shaking his head frequently, but he can only pretend to cooperate very enthusiastically, after all, people are kind-hearted, aren't they? In the afternoon, he had no time to spare, because Yi Ruonan would come to invite him to enjoy the garden scenery and listen to tunes, and the two sisters and brothers were so enthusiastic that it was difficult to refuse. Especially the eldest lady Yi Ruonan, if you don't make an excuse not to go, her black eyes seem to be about to shed tears, which makes Meng Qihan helpless. Meng Qihan, as the prince of the Marquis of Changping, has a noble identity that is also in the spotlight in Kyoto, and he is often "harassed" by wild bees and butterflies, but even if those delicate women are rejected, they just stomp their feet and leave angrily, where is Yi Ruonan like teary-eyed? Meng Qihan had never met a girl who couldn't shed tears at every turn, and she was unable to cope with it for a while, so she could only lose. After going on like this for three days, Meng Qihan felt that his legs were thin, and he couldn't stand it anymore and finally thought of Yi Luochuan.

Yi Luochuan was originally told by his father Yi Xihu to take good care of Meng Qihan, and in line with the principle that he can't be attached or offended, he must socialize well. But he didn't expect the eldest sister and the second brother to be so enthusiastic and take over this burden very compassionately, and he was naturally happy and relaxed. Mrs. Yi is upright in educating his sons and grandsons, although Yi Luochuan was taught by the old lady to be serious, but it was also the superficial phenomenon of learning from his grandfather, and he also learned Yi Xihu's business-like behavior and official skills, that is, they were all twisting and turning inside. Meng Jieyu is favored in the harem, and the Changping Marquis Mansion is also involved in the harem, so if the relationship with the Changping Marquis Mansion is good, it may not be helpful, but if it is not good, it will be problematic; So for him, it is the most convenient thing to get along with him and put aside such a thing.

"My sister's writing today is not as good as the day before yesterday!" At this time, Yi Luochuan was staring at Yi Xiangxiang's Yongle Ju to write, and the bookcase carved with plum blossoms was placed in the courtyard, Yi Xiangxiang was not tall enough, and the chair in front of the bookcase was still a special high-legged chair for her, and every time she practiced calligraphy, Miaoqin hugged her to the chair. Now Yi Luochuan looks at his sister's small body sitting high, and feels a little funny and cute.

Yi Luochuan sat on the official hat chair next to him, drinking Tieguanyin and listening to the wind, while counting the words written by his sister; The garden in the yard is splendid, the breeze is gentle, and the years are quiet, which makes people very comfortable and comfortable.

Yi Xiangxiang glanced at Yi Luochuan, pretended to be fierce and said, "Brother is so unreasonable, drinking my tea, and looking for me!" ”

"Brother, this is for your good, I hope you can grow in the future. And you see that if you don't study well, your mother will definitely think that Mr. Lai didn't teach well, and you also know Mr. Lai's situation, the family is very poor, if he is dismissed, what will happen to the old and young people who rely on him to support him? Besides, if he didn't teach it well, it's just that, it's obvious that his sister doesn't work hard, so isn't it that his sister has affected others? Yi Luochuan said to Yi Xiangxiang, let's go, let's make Yi Xiangxiang's brain buzz.

Yi Xiangxiang has lived until now to have two fears, one is afraid that Yi Luochuan will teach her a lesson with a straight face, and the other is afraid that Yi Luochuan Rory will teach her a hard lesson! The former is a bit too serious, the latter is too nagging. Yi Xiangxiang sometimes feels that her brother may really be about to split his personality, and he also blames his grandfather and father for not teaching in a unified way, so that his brother can receive two extreme education.

"Okay, okay, brother, don't talk about it! I must study hard and not embarrass our Yi family! Yi Xiangxiang clenched her little fists and made bold words very solemnly.

"That's right." Yi Luochuan said very pleased, he put down the tea in his hand and asked his sister: "I heard Ah Ping say that you have already chosen the name of the restaurant?" ”

Ah Ping is the scholar next to Yi Luochuan, his father is now the steward of Yifu Yipinxiang Shop, and his mother is Yi Xiangxiang's wet nurse Mama Li; Yi Xiangxiang and Mama Li talked about the name of the restaurant, and I think it was Mama and her son Ah Ping who mentioned it, so Yi Luochuan would ask, and she was not surprised.

Yi Xiangxiang put down the wolf hair in her hand, saw the ink that had just been accidentally stained on her hand, and asked Miaoqin to send someone to fetch water to wash her hands, and replied to her brother: "Well, if you take it, it's called Xile Building, isn't it particularly festive?" I think, eating, is the happiest thing, there is nothing unhappy in this world that can't be solved by one meal, if there is, eat two! This sentence was said by Yi Xiangxiang's colleague when he ate hot pot at a party in his previous life, and the original sentence was: There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by one hot pot, if there is, two meals! When she heard it, she felt very reasonable, but unfortunately there was no hot pot in the Li Dynasty, so she could only graft.

But she secretly wants to build a hot pot restaurant in her heart, and now Xilemen's main business has to be traditional dishes, plus a little creative dishes, and when the reputation is known, she will push the hot pot, so that it will get twice the result with half the effort. When the time comes, Slogan will use this sentence, how encouraging!

"Well, the name is good enough to be festive and joyful; Have you prepared a menu? You have to let the chefs try it first, and then confirm that it is more appropriate to try the dishes. Miaoqin asked the little maid to fetch the water, she rolled up her sleeves and took the water and was about to bring it to Yi Xiangxiang to clean her hands, but was cut off by Yi Luochuan, who was sitting next to the bookcase. Yi Luochuan stood up, took the copper printed basin and put it on the bookcase, rolled up his sleeves and personally washed his hands for Yi Xiangxiang.

The rice paper on the bookcase has been cleaned aside, Yi Luochuan seriously rolled up his sister's sleeves, and then grabbed the little fat hand and put it in the basin to scrub gently, and couldn't help but joke when he saw that the water in the basin was black: "I haven't written a few pages in total, and the ink is a lot of waste." ”

Yi Xiangxiang saw that she hadn't written a few pages, and was a little shy, so she hurriedly continued the topic of Yi Luochuan's previous sentence and said: "The list has been prepared, but I really haven't thought about trying the dishes; Yesterday, I heard from my mother that Mrs. Changping Hou will come down from the Centennial Temple today, and she will have to hold a banquet in the evening. Why don't you let the cooks cook the dishes tonight, just in time for everyone to taste at the banquet? ”

Yi Xiangxiang felt a little shocked in her heart after speaking, she really had no experience if she hadn't done this, in modern times, she had also heard that chefs would try new products, not to mention the opening of a new store, and the list had to be tried and tested. She planned to change the list several times, but she really didn't expect to try the dishes. Eh, the preconceived notions are terrible, and I think I can do beautiful things with the brains of modern people in their twenties, and I don't want to even try the dishes to be reminded by Yi Luochuan.

When I used to read time-traveling novels, I felt that the advantage of time-traveling women was really too great, and she could do anything, she could do anything, how could it happen to herself, but it was not so easy to do anything? What kind of hairpin family is a noble girl who wears it casually, she is good, not to mention noble girls, it is 108,000 miles away from those places where there are noble girls. It's not that she dislikes the status of the Yi family too low, after all, the Yi family's simplicity and cleanliness are also great advantages, and whether it is her grandfather and grandmother or her parents, she has always been very supportive and loving to her, and her brother also spoils her. It's just that she is slightly frustrated when she opens a restaurant now, and she is really a little envious when she thinks that all the other crossing women are goldfingers.

"This works, Mrs. Hou and Shizi must have eaten a lot of good things in Kyoto, let them taste and comment, they will definitely gain something." Yi Luochuan said.

"What do you want to taste in this world?" Yi Xiangxiang was about to respond to her brother when she heard Meng Qihan's voice at the gate of the courtyard.

At this time, Yi Luochuan had already helped Yi Xiangxiang wash his hands and was wiping it with a towel, and when he heard that, he handed the towel to Miaoqin and saluted Meng Qihan: "Shizi." ”

Meng Qihan stopped Yi Luochuan's salute and said, "You're welcome, you and I don't have to care about those false courtesies." Yi Xiangxiang didn't get off the chair when she heard this, and continued to sit on the high chair with her legs shaking, her calves shaking very naughty.

Meng Qihan guessed that Miss Yi in the second room would look for him to visit the garden this afternoon, so he went to Yi Luochuan to prepare to block this peach blossom. I didn't want to go to the Chuanhe Courtyard in Yiluochuan, and the subordinate told the son to teach Miss Eight to read and write in Miss Eight's Yongle Residence, so he asked the subordinate to lead the way, and turned around and came to Yi Xiangxiang's Yongle Residence.

He looked at the rice paper on the desk of the bookcase, and it seemed that Yi Luochuan was indeed teaching Yi Xiangxiang to learn calligraphy; I thought that the relationship between this brother and sister was really good, otherwise a boy of Yi Luochuan's age would calm down and teach children to read and write when they were playful.

Yi Xiangxiang doesn't care what Meng Qihan is thinking in this world, she has no interest in him, but if she shows her disinterest, she may attract the attention of this kind of pride of the sky. Although she is still a little doll, she doesn't want to attract attention no matter what it is. So she tried to keep her mouth shut when she was talking too much and making more mistakes.

Yi Luochuan asked people to bring chairs for Meng Qihan, and a small square table was set up in the courtyard, and snacks and brewed tea were placed to entertain Meng Qihan.

"What did you just say you want me to taste? Is this Tieguanyin? Meng Qihan said and picked up the cyan cup and took a shallow sip and said: "This tea is general, I have a good Tieguanyin, I will send someone to send you some in a while." ”

The people of the Li Dynasty also loved to taste tea, and most of the eunuchs would use the best tea in their homes to entertain guests, in order to show their welcome and respect for guests. The tea in Yifu is actually considered superior, but it is average for Meng Qihan. After all, Meng Qihan's family background is there, and Yi Xiangxiang doesn't feel that others can be belittled.

"Luo Chuan thanked my sister for passing away, but what I just said was not this tea, it was my mother's plan to open a restaurant in the city, and my sister and I chatted and said that I wanted to suggest that my mother let Mrs. Hou and you taste it at the dinner. The two nobles are well-informed in Kyoto, and they can give advice, which is a great gain for the restaurant. Since Meng Qihan was so direct and practical, Yi Luochuan naturally didn't excuse his sister, and happily accepted the tea that the other party wanted to give, and extended the topic to the restaurant. Yi Xiangxiang has no opinion, she is happy to receive something if someone sends it, don't do it in vain if you don't spend money on good things.

"Then why not? I am blessed to be able to taste the delicacies in the restaurant in Xia Bainian County. Meng Qihan smiled and opened the red sandalwood fan in his hand and said happily.

When Yi Xiangxiang heard this, she hurriedly said: "Leqi, you go in person and send the menu on the bookcase in the house to your mother, I'm afraid it's too late to buy ingredients." The reason why she asked Le Qi to go was to transfer all the conversations in the small courtyard to the Lin family, and secondly, because some of the dishes on the menu were not dishes that the master of Yifu often ate, and there might be no ingredients in the back kitchen.

"Oh? How could this menu be in the hands of Sister Xiangxiang? Meng Qihan shook his fan and wondered, and asked out of the way.

Yi Xiangxiang yawned, and said panickedly without blushing: "Yesterday, I took the list from my mother's bookcase, I want to see what dishes are there, and I am going to let Miaoqin secretly add all the dishes I like to eat, so that my mother will not cook the dishes in the back kitchen, and I can also secretly go to the restaurant to eat." After speaking, he proudly raised his chin at Meng Qihan, and begged for recognition with a look of "What's the matter, I'm smart".

Meng Qihan laughed out loud, and after laughing, he also said cooperatively: "Sister Xiangxiang is indeed very smart, admire and admire." After speaking, he turned his head and said to Yi Luochuan: "Your sister, what a living treasure!" ”

Meng Qihan listened to her chat with the Yi family when she was visiting the garden with Yi Ruonan before, especially the most favored eighth lady Yi Xiangxiang in this big house, I heard that this eighth lady is very fond of sweets, but Mrs. Yi Lin is afraid that she will eat too much and will not be good for her health, so she often controls her diet. It is precisely because of Yi Ruonan's foreshadowing that Yi Xiangxiang's lie of adding vegetables to the list did not arouse Meng Qihan's suspicion at all.

Yi Luochuan was pouring tea for Meng Qihan again, and his face was full of smiles: "My mother once had a headache for my sister's naughtiness, but my grandfather and grandmother were all spoiled, which made her lawless. ”

"I think it's very good, and true temperament is the most valuable." Meng Qihan took a sip of hot tea and said sincerely.

Meng Qihan's words made Yi Xiangxiang quite useful. Yi Xiangxiang felt that this Meng Qihan was not a noble son who was not easy to get along with, and he did not have the bad problem of arrogance and domineering, which was also very rare in this ancient time when gentlemen were blooming everywhere.

"There is tea and scenery here, but there is a lack of rhythm, the four girls on my sister's side are all personally selected by my mother in order to urge my sister to study, among which Miaoqin's piano skills are the best, can the prince be interested in listening to the piano and enjoying the scenery?" Yi Luochuan saw that Meng Qihan had no intention of leaving, so it was difficult to talk about leaving, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only arrange some small programs to break the embarrassment of having nothing to talk about.

"That's great." Meng Qihan nodded in agreement.

The little maids placed the piano table in front of the three masters, and Miaoqin sat down cross-legged after cleaning her hands. She plucked the strings and played a song "Qingfeng Song", this song was created by Shi Yan, a famous genius of the Li Dynasty, this Shi Yan is a contemporary Du Fu-like figure, is a famous talent in the Chengkang period, when he withdrew after being discouraged in the officialdom, and then created a lot of quatrain songs, this "Qingfeng Song" is composed after he let go of the obsession in his heart, and then became famous all over the world.

Miaoqin interprets the breeze freely and freely, and the sound of the piano is melodious and melodious, tactful and continuous.
