Chapter 43

The two of them didn't care whether it was eye-catching or not, looked up at the signboards of those restaurants, and picked a Wulingchun that looked good, went down to the second floor at the beckoning of the guys, and sat down by the window.

Gu Huan ordered a few dishes casually and didn't ask for wine. Gao Changgong didn't have any objections, and it was all arranged by her.

Business here is very good, the first floor is full, and there are people on more than half of the seats on the second floor, so the food is naturally slow. Gu Huan and Gao Changgong sat there drinking tea and chatting, but they were not in a hurry.

When the men began to serve their table, a woman dressed in glory came up the stairs, followed by a few pretty maids, and a few samurai guards behind her, and at first glance she was the lady of a large family.

When the guests upstairs looked over, they couldn't help but talk about it, and the buzzing sound was very noisy.

Gu Huan turned his back to the staircase and didn't pay attention, but Gao Changgong saw them, and couldn't help but be stunned, his face sank slightly, and he sat there without moving.

Gu Huan noticed something strange at this time, and instinctively looked back, feeling surprised.

It turned out to be Concubine Zheng who came to this side.

She is a subordinate of the King of Lanling, and the princess is naturally her boss, and out of courtesy, she must also stand up immediately to show her respect.

Gao Changgong was even more unhappy, but he had nothing to say. As long as the princess appears, Gu Huan will definitely be wronged. This time, he got up without politeness and implicitly expressed his displeasure in his heart.

Gu Huan hugged his fists and saluted Concubine Zheng, and said respectfully: "The last general has seen the princess." ”

"Well, General Gu is exempt." Concubine Zheng waved her hand gently, walked over naturally, and sat down beside Gao Changgong. "I heard Gao Jin say that you will eat outside, and the concubine hasn't eaten in the restaurant outside, so I want to come over and have a look, didn't disturb my husband?"

“…… No, since the princess is here, let's use it together. Gao Changgong's expression was gentle, and he turned his head to Gu Huan and said. Huan'er, sit down. You've been tired for most of the day, so come, hurry up and eat while it's hot. ”

Gu Huan sat down opposite them, picked up chopsticks and ate.

She called for home-cooked food that she and Gao Changgong liked to eat, not delicacies from the mountains and seas, but very delicious. Concubine Zheng only ate a few bites, then asked Cui'er to call the guy, and ordered expensive dishes such as bear paws, civet cats, shark fin, abalone, etc., and claimed that the guy was so happy that his waist was about to bend to the ground.

Gao Changgong frowned, but didn't say anything, and let her call the shots.

Being tossed by her like this, most of the guests on the second floor already knew their identities and couldn't help but stare at them. Gu Huan called his men and ordered them to move two screens over and surround his table to block everyone's view. Gao Changgong's entourage and the guards assigned to Concubine Zheng all stood outside the screen, looking around vigilantly.

Gu Huan and Gao Changgong were tired for a long time, they were really hungry, and they didn't care so much at this time, they picked up the rice bowl and ate the sesame oil sting, scallion oil carp, fried belly shreds, and mushroom pepper oil cabbage on the table. As soon as they put down the bowl, a pot of fragrant lo noodles was served again, and the two of them didn't want others to help, so they filled a bowl by themselves, sighing and snoring and eating again.

No matter how calm Concubine Zheng was, she couldn't help but show surprise in her eyes, and Cui'er's face couldn't hide her surprise. The few maidservants who followed them had been serving in the Lanling Palace, but they were not surprised to see it, so they only took out a clean cloth towel from the suitcase they carried with them and handed it over, letting the two masters wipe the fine sweat on their foreheads.

Putting down the bowl, Gu Huan looked at the basin that was almost bottoming out, and said with satisfaction: "It's so fragrant, I haven't eaten so much for a long time." ”

"yes, so do I." Gao Changgong let out a long breath and said with a comfortable smile. "It's still delicious, it's not fast."

They stayed in Jiankang for nearly two months, and most of the famous Jinling cuisine was sweet, Gu Huan was acceptable, but Gao Changgong was really unaccustomed to it. The celebrity chefs in the palace cook meticulously, which is naturally good, but it is too formal, and you have to hold the posture when you eat it, and you can't gobble it up, which is a little stuffy. The two have been in the army for a long time, and they like the days of big bowls of rice and large pieces of meat the most, and at this moment they take care of their hungry stomachs heartily, and they are suddenly in a comfortable mood and in good spirits.

Concubine Zheng had never seen them eat like this since she was born. She has been raised in the deep boudoir, and the maids waiting beside her are all pampered, and each person has two little maids waiting, and her posture and appearance are more elegant than the young lady of the small family, and she has never seen a rough man. Gao Chang Gonggui is the king of the county, the royal family is orthodox, and he is even more born to not eat the fireworks of the world, and he actually has such a meal at the dinner table, which really surprised Concubine Zheng.

At this time, the price of those delicacies from the mountains and seas she ordered was delivered.

Out of politeness, Gao Changgong and Gu Huan ate a little bit of everything.

They never go on a diet, but they are not fat, their bodies are slender and well-proportioned, there is no trace of fat, and they are very good-looking. Even if they eat a lot, they are busy with official business, and they are very young, and when they go out on horseback twice, or practice a set of sword skills, they are almost exhausted, and they are often hungry very quickly, and they are not reserved when they have food, and they feed their stomachs first.

Concubine Zheng has never been very active, she eats very little, she is full after a few bites, and she is hungry for a long time. She was the last to pick up the chopsticks, but she was the first to put them down, and her every move was elegant and soft.

Seeing that there were still a lot of delicacies left on the table, Gu Huan said without hesitation: "Let them wrap them up, and we will take them back for supper." ”

Gao Changgong smiled happily: "Okay." He gestured to Cui'er and motioned for her to do it.

Concubine Zheng was even more surprised: "What's not in the house?" What do you want these leftovers for? It's a shame, right? ”

Gu Huan blinked and looked at Gao Changgong. Gao Changgong also blinked, but he really didn't want to irritate his princess, so he said gently: "Okay, then don't." ”

His attendants, with their money on them, went to the treasurer's account, and they got up and departed.

Concubine Zheng and Cui'er got into the carriage, a few little maids got into the back car, and the guards got on the horse with Gu Huan and Gao Changgong, and went straight back to the house.

The group swaggered through the market, attracting people along the way to point and whisper, Gao Changgong was also used to it, completely ignored it, and only whispered to Gu Huan beside him: "I told the housekeeper at noon to move my things to your courtyard, and I will sleep there tonight." ”

"Okay." Gu Huan nodded happily.

In the carriage, Cui'er said disdainfully: "Miss, look at that woman's rude appearance, it has brought our good prince badly, and I really can't let the prince be with her anymore." ”

Concubine Zheng glanced at her helplessly: "She is a third-grade general appointed by the emperor himself, and she is sent to serve under the prince, unless the emperor decrees, she can't go anywhere, so she can only stay here with the prince." ”

Cui'er was very unconvinced, thought hard, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Miss, you can repair a letter and give it to the uncle and grandfather in the court, let him talk about it in front of the emperor, and transfer the woman away, then it's okay, right?" ”

Concubine Zheng's heart moved, and she couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, I'll try it." ”
