Chapter 1072: Tell Me About the Capital

Bai Heran was still a little flustered, but she still answered seriously, she told Bai Jinghong: "Because my lord is thrifty, there are few delicious foods in the house, and my wife has quarreled with my lord several times for this." But the old man's temperament can't be changed, and then the lady doesn't quarrel anymore, and will only eat some delicious Kyoto food every time she goes to Beijing to take care of business, and no longer eats when she gets home. The slave maid is the lady's close attendant, so every time the lady goes to Kyoto to follow, the lady will occasionally get some when she buys something to eat. ”

Bai Jinghong nodded and believed her words, "That Liu Yuanwai is really a good keeper of money." ”

"The lord is really reluctant to spend money, and the lady goes out to buy food by herself, and the flowers are still saved by herself, most of which are still given by her mother's family." Bai Heran was a little indignant when he said this.

Bai Jinghong smiled, "Eat it quickly, although it is not as delicious as the meatloaf in Kyoto, it is better than the local area of Lancheng." You're right, the crust is too thick for the broth to get in. The crust at the Kyoto side is so thin that the meat broth seeps into it when it is baked, and it is crispy and juicy when you bite into it. It's a pity that I found a lot of cooks, but I couldn't make that taste. ”

Hearing her say this, Bai Heran remembered that when she was in the Wenguo Mansion in the past, the old lady also liked to eat meatloaf, and specially called a cook to cook it in the mansion. Later, she taught her how to make meatloaf, and she was able to eat hot meatloaf.

That kind of cake is really delicious, and there are shops in the capital that specialize in selling them, but the high-ranking families have their own doorways, they will not go out to line up to buy them, they will invite cooks to make them at home, or send people to learn, and learn to make them in the house for the masters to eat. The shop that sells cakes is also willing to sell a good child to these dignitaries, after all, in the territory of Kyoto, any child may be a prince and grandson, if he is accidentally offended, his shop will not be able to open no matter how delicious it is.

When Bai Jinghong was in the Wenguo Mansion in the past, in order to maintain her mystery, the Daye clan rarely let her go out on the street, so Bai Heran analyzed that the meat cake that Bai Jinghong missed should be the meat cake of Jinrong Courtyard in the Wenguo Mansion, which was made by the old lady's cook, she occasionally ate it a few times, and now she is far away from her homeland.

The two sat at the table and ate a few bites, and Bai Jinghong put down the chopsticks first, "It's really boring, everything can't make the taste I want." Xiaoju, is the food in Zhangjia Town also biased towards Kyoto? ”

Bai Heran thought for a while and nodded: "It's biased towards Kyoto, because Zhangjiazhen has a wharf, and a large number of people from the capital come and go to Zhangjiazhen almost every day, and slowly there are many Beijing-style shops, and there are even people from the capital who come to Zhangjiazhen to buy stores and open a shop to make money." Therefore, the taste of food in Zhangjiazhen is basically not much different from that in Beijing. ”

As she said this, she also looked at Bai Jinghong, pretending not to understand and asked, "Is Madame also from Kyoto?" ”

Bai Jinghong shook his head, "No, I was also born in a town, and later by chance, I went to Kyoto to live for a while, so I am familiar with the food there." Xiaoju, what day did you get on the boat from Zhangjia Town? Is it over the New Year? ”

Bai Heran thought for a while and said, "It's not the end of the year, we are the seventh year of the new year, and we won't be finished in fifteen years!" The ship sailed for a whole month, and when it arrived in Lancheng, the year was completely over. ”

"I'll leave on the seventh day of the first month." Bai Jinghong pondered for a while and then asked her, "Did you spend the New Year in Zhangjia Town?" ”

"I spent it in Zhangjia Town." Hakuzuru said. "But the New Year in the house is not much over, the lord is in a big funeral, the lady is in a bad mood, and the New Year is not even a dumpling, so it is over in a daze. I went to the capital a few years ago, and when the lord was still there, the lady took us slaves and maids into Beijing to buy New Year's goods. ”

Bai Jinghong's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Where are you going to buy in Kyoto?" I'll mention a few places, you can hear and see if you know. Wenguo Mansion, have you heard of it? ”

Bai He said that he really guessed correctly, Bai Jinghong, who was in a foreign land, really wanted to inquire about the situation in Beijing, but she still shook her head, "I haven't heard of it, there are too many mansions in Beijing, even if someone has talked about slaves and maids, they can't remember it." ”

Bai Jinghong was a little disappointed, but he didn't want to give up, so he asked again: "Then have you heard of this life pavilion?" ”

At this time, Bai Heran nodded, "I've heard of it, I've heard that this life pavilion is famous, it is said that it is a medical hall specially opened for the poor, and it is not necessary to go there for medical treatment." But it doesn't seem that everyone is going to see it, once our lord was dealing with business in Beijing, and accidentally contracted a cold, so he wanted to save some money to go to the Jinsheng Pavilion to take advantage, but people said that he had to spend money to see a doctor, because he did not meet the rules of the Jinsheng Pavilion's free clinic. The old man went home and complained for many days, and the slave remembered it very clearly. ”

As soon as Bai Jinghong heard that she knew about the Pavilion, he became interested, "Okay Xiaoju, you can say more, you can say as much as you know about the things in the Pavilion of this Birth, I want to hear it." Especially in the past six months or so, what has the Living Pavilion done? ”

Bai Crane scratched his head, "Madam, the slaves and maids don't know much, some of them listened to the people's discussions when they went to Kyoto, and some of them talked about it when they listened to the gossip of the people in the Liufu, and occasionally the lady and the lord can also say some, but they are all gossip, and they are not sure whether it is true or not!" Madame, why do you ask these things? ”

"For no reason, I want to hear gossip too." Bai Jinghong picked up the spoon and drank the porridge, "Xiaoju, tell me, whether it's true or not, and it doesn't matter who you listen to, anyway, you can say whatever you've heard, just when I'm bored, just when you're a storyteller, tell me some interesting things about the capital, and pass the time." ”

Bai Heran nodded ignorantly, "If it's just gossip, then the slave can still talk, after all, I have to go to the capital two or three times a month with my wife, and I really hear a lot of gossip." Let's just say that this life pavilion, more than half a year ago there was a flood in Qingzhou, I heard that it was the princess who brought the doctor of this life pavilion to go, and a medical team was formed at that time, not only this life pavilion went to people, other medical halls also went to people, the mighty team lined up for a long time, and it is said that a prince also went! ”

"Is it the Ten Princes?" Bai Jinghong asked, "The tenth prince is the fiancΓ©e of Princess Tianci, did he accompany him?" ”

"Then I don't know." Bai Heran shook his head, "The slave and maid can't tell the difference between this prince and that prince, but I heard that the prince who went with the princess of Tianci was born like a fairy, and he is very good-looking." ”

"Like a fairy?" Bai Jinghong pondered for a while, and said firmly, "That's not the Ten Princes, it's the Four Princes." After speaking, he smiled to himself, "She is really capable, so many princes revolve around her, and they are willing to stand up for her and help her." ”

"Who is Madame talking about?" Bai Heran tilted his head and wondered, "Xiao Ju doesn't understand Madame's words." ”

"You don't need to understand, just keep talking, and then talk about this life pavilion and the princess of heaven."

So she thought for a while and continued: "This Life Pavilion is very famous, whether it is in Kyoto or Zhangjia Town, as long as this Life Pavilion is mentioned, everyone knows it, and everyone praises Princess Tianci. It is said that Princess Tianci has been in Qingzhou for a long time, and when she comes back, it is almost the New Year, and the flood in Qingzhou has been cured. Madam, there is nothing to say in the Pavilion of this life, it is just to see a doctor and save people all day long, and there are often people who have received favors and cannot repay them, so they kowtow at the door of the Pavilion of this life, anyway, these are the things that go back and forth. There was a big movement in the Tianjing during the Chinese New Year, and we in Zhangjiazhen were also implicated. ”

"Oh?" Bai Jinghong was stunned for a moment, "Particularly big movement?" What's moving? ”

Bai Heran looked around, pretended to be cautious, lowered his voice and said, "It seems that someone is trying to rebel!" On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know where many soldiers came out, they poured into the capital from all directions, and many soldiers and horses passed by in Zhangjia Town, and when they passed by, they also robbed and smashed the gates of our mansion. Later, it seemed that the hour was not early, and they would not let waste time on the road, so those people left after slamming the door, and they didn't care about robbing. But before leaving, the slave and maid heard someone say that after slaughtering the capital, they will come to slaughter Zhangjia Town, and the focus is still on our Liu family, and we must rob them all. ”

"And what about later? Was the Upper Capital City slaughtered? Bai Jinghong also became nervous.

Bai Heran smiled, "Naturally, it was not slaughtered, otherwise how could the slave and the lady come to Lancheng intact." It is said that the general who rebelled that night gathered 200,000 troops, but in the end they were all killed by Princess Tianci, and I don't know how to kill them, anyway, Princess Tianci is very powerful. On the second day of the junior high school, Beijing officials came to Zhangjiazhen to appease the people and lost a lot of silver. ”

Bai Jinghong was stunned, "200,000 troops were killed by her?" When did she become so powerful? ”

"Who did Madame say? A goddess-given princess? Does Madame know Princess Tianci? ”

Bai Jinghong shook his head, "I don't know, but I've heard that she is the second lady of the Wenguo Mansion, and she used to be very unpopular, and she was almost abused to death at home." But then she went back to her hometown, and when she came back, she became a different person, fierce and powerful, and her family was not her opponent. Those who had persecuted her, she took revenge one by one. ”

When she said this, she asked Bai Heran again, "Xiaoju, haven't you really heard of the Wenguo Mansion?" Think about it again. ”

Bai Heran's eyes widened, as if surprised, "The Wenguo Mansion is the home of the princess of heaven?" Madame, you had already asked this, and the slave had heard of it. But that home is now gone, so the princess of heaven burned it. ”

Bai Jinghong's hands trembled, and the porridge bowl he was holding fell to the ground with a thud......
