Chapter 66: Osmanthus Salt Water Duck (Middle)

[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site " ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Rui Xue thought that Cuiyun would refute the owner's grandmother, after all, she had done it before.

But this time, Cuiyun glanced at the grandmother of the owner and went out to call someone to prepare the car.

Ruixue couldn't help but be a little strange, the owner's grandmother said seriously that she was going out, and Cuiyun dared to refute the owner's grandmother's words, but why did Cuiyun dare not refute it this time when the owner's grandmother had a smile on her face?

She's seen it again today. It turns out that sometimes smiling and talking to people is more powerful than sinking your face.

The grandmother of the owner did not go out immediately, but dressed up. Her dress is much more delicate than Gong's.

Orange red embroidered pine, bamboo, plum, Sui Han Sanyou long body gown, dark orange red embroidered phoenix wears peony Ruyi silk, light orange red butterfly wears flower palace skirt. In the deep and shallow, it is the few colors that she just talked about with herself.

Orange red, dark orange red, light orange red, compared with this autumn slaughter, it really adds a bit of vitality. It's like spring clothes.

The back of the gown seems to be narrowed, but it looks slim.

Can this outfit do this?

The hairpin ring on the bun has long dazzled Ruixue's eyes, and they are all things that he can't name. Rui Xue only knew that the phoenix hairpin on her head was bright gold, and the beads in it were very large. The head flower made of the big red brocade is also chasΓ©ed on the sideburns.

Compared with the previous plain, the whole person is more luxurious and magnificent, and he originally had the eyes of God, which seemed to be smart and capable, and the momentum of the majestic side immediately showed up.

Is the owner's grandmother really just a businessman? Why is she more majestic than Mrs. Zhao, who is the wife of a big official?

Even Cuiyun, who went out with the owner's grandmother, also dressed up. Her current outfit is more magnificent than the big girl next to Mrs. Zhao, and if those girls see it, they will definitely talk about it again.

Ruixue had not yet recovered from the magnificence of the grandmother of the owner, and was attracted by the bustle outside the carriage.

The curtains of the carriage were covered with an emerald green veil that allowed a clear view of the outside.

Walking east from the Lotus Bridge is the Pearl Bridge, and then there is the residence of the official. Because it is close to the six departments in Nanjing, it is inhabited by official families.

It is more prosperous than the Lotus Bridge, and at a glance it is different from the place where the small people in other places live. Vermilion gates, brass nails, white slates, large stone lions, huge door plaques.

This is where the officials and nobles of Nanjing Chengda lived.

The high walls cover the prosperity of the eunuchs' houses tightly, and it is impossible to see what is inside, and it is not clear how big an official each family is.

The only thing that distinguishes whether it is magnificent or not is that some people have one or two old and frail doormen sitting in front of their doors; And some are a dozen or so young and strong people in gorgeous clothes.

The carriage headed south. The further south we went, the more lively it became, and at last the carriage went along the river.

"Is this out of town? Is it a moat? Ruixue's first reaction was this. But it's not like it, it's obviously still very lively. Isn't it time to get out of the city when you get to the moat? If you go out of the city, it should be getting more and more deserted.

"No, that's still ahead!"

"So where are we going?"

The grandmother of the owner smiled slightly: "I'll take you to the Gongyuan to have a look." ”

"To the Tribute Temple? But I heard that there were soldiers guarding it. ”

There were soldiers guarding there several miles away from the Gongyuan, and Ruixue only glanced at them from a distance. She felt almost nothing about the Tribute Courtyard, but she felt that it was very quiet, and looking at the soldiers standing not far away, she felt extremely majestic.

"Didn't you say there was a market here?" What Rui Xue wants to ask most is this, this area is so quiet, where is the excitement that Gong said, even the Lotus Bridge is not comparable, and there are almost no pedestrians.

Moreover, the soldiers are still guarding and not calling people over, how can anyone do business.

Cuiyun chuckled, nodded at Ruixue's forehead and said, "You fool." Over there! ”

The carriage turned around, and sure enough, that part was very lively, but the grandmother of the owner did not mean to stop there, and after turning around, the grandmother of the owner pointed to an alley and said to Ruixue: "This is Wuyi Lane." ”

This small alley is Wuyi Alley??? Old lady Zhao once said a poem called 'In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan' mentioned that Wuyi Lane was the place where a big official named Xie An lived? She remembered what Mrs. Zhao said at that time, 'surrounded by forests and streams, and shaded by tung bamboos', which seemed to be gorgeous. But now it's not very good.

Such a narrow alley! The car can't get in, either.

Oh, she got it. "Fly into the homes of ordinary people". It is now inhabited by ordinary people, and it is no longer a rich place.

After a little more travel, the carriage went round to the river again. When the carriage passed under the city gate, Rui Xue asked, "Are we out of the city?" Where is this? Is this a moat? ”

"This is the Jubao Gate, and the Qinhuai River in front of it."

"This is the Qinhuai River?"

This is where she listens the most.

Qinhuai River! What had been a place that scared her, now a place that made her feel excited.

There are a lot of people here, vendors along the riverbank, jugglers, and boats with the sound of bamboo coming from the river.

"What kind of ship is that? It's beautiful! Ruixue asked, pointing to the newly decorated flower boat. The boat that came to Nanjing was a wooden boat, which had no lacquer decoration at all, and was almost black; And the boats here are red and green, and some of them are also tied with colored balls, which are very delicate and festive to look at.

Cuiyun glanced at her, reached out to cover her eyes, and turned her head around: "Don't look." That's not a good thing. ”

"Why not a good thing? What is that? Ruixue pulled Cuiyun's hand away and asked curiously.

Cuiyun blushed and leaned into her ear and whispered: "It's a flower boat, a place for you to eat flower wine." ”

The grandmother of the owner smiled and said, "She is still young, and she doesn't understand even what you say." ”

Ruixue understood. How could she not understand. If she hadn't escaped, she would probably be on that ship by now.

Cuiyun argued: "Where is it still small. You're eleven or twelve, you're twelve. After getting Ruixue's admission, Cuiyun said dissatisfiedly, "I've been a little girl in front of my grandmother since I was twelve years old." And then again, no matter how small you are, you have to know. Ruixue, don't pay attention to that, the women there are not good things. ”

Ruixue opened her mouth to refute Cuiyun. She wanted to say that if people from good families were sold there, how could it be said that they were not good things, they were pitiful. If she hadn't run away at that time, but was sold, would Cuiyun now say that she wasn't a good thing?

She suddenly didn't know what to say, and was a little afraid that if she said this, Cuiyun would look down on her. She was about to look at the other side, but she saw the grandmother's unsmiling face.

The owner's grandmother had been smiling all the time, why didn't she smile now?

If her eyes were smart and capable before, the first time she saw them, they were calm as water, but now her eyes showed a trace of pain.

Pain?!

"Grandma, are you feeling unwell?"

The grandmother of the owner pulled out a smile and looked at Rui Xue: "What did you just want to say?" ”

She muttered, "Nothing. ”

"The women there are not all bad, they are clothed and fed, and they have the heart of a beast; There is compassion in the ragged clothes. Some are forced to ......"

Without waiting for the owner's grandmother to finish speaking, Cuiyun took a bite and said, "I had to hit my head and die, if it were me, I would rather die." ”

The grandmother of the proprietor looked at Cuiyun and just smiled but didn't speak, her eyes kept on the river.

After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief before she said, "Sometimes death is not so easy. ”

From the direction of Ruixue, you can see the whole face of the grandmother of the owner. Because of the proximity, she could even see the eyebrows of the owner's grandmother. At this time, the owner's grandmother's brows were slightly locked, she was troubled, or she knew someone who was...... What's inside?

Does the owner's grandmother know the people here? Rui Xue smiled and shook her head, how could it be, how could the grandmother of the proprietor who looked so noble and dignified know it.

I walked along the Qinhuai River for a long time, until I stopped in front of a restaurant called Qingjiang Building. Cuiyun got out of the carriage first, put down the small stool and helped the grandmother of the owner to get out of the carriage.

The restaurant here is actually six stories high, and only a big red lantern is strung together and hangs from the top floor. If you are at night, you can see it from afar.

The carved dragon painting building on the periphery of the restaurant is dozens of times more gorgeous than the Zhao family, is this really a restaurant? How much does it cost to build this restaurant? Who is so rich that he can build such a gorgeous restaurant?

Walking into the restaurant, there was a sound of silk and bamboo, the grandmother of the owner raised her feet and walked to the second floor, the guy saw that it was a woman who came in, and hurriedly lowered his head: "Grandma wants a private room ......?" ”

"Clean up the private room and come out, no incense is allowed inside."

The man answered, and picked a room at the end of the hallway and invited them in.

"Grandma, please have tea."

It was a woman who came to answer the service. She is also dressed more gorgeously, with a few flowers embroidered on the neckline of her narrow gown, and a few pieces of jewelry on her head are also quite gorgeous.

As soon as she entered the door, she didn't look at Ruixue who was standing on the side, and walked directly to the grandmother of the owner with a faint smile on her face.

Cuiyun cleared her throat: "Our grandmother doesn't eat tea, she wants warm water, and you can drink it when you put it in your mouth." ”

The woman hurriedly brought out the poured tea, ordered someone to bring warm water, and then invited Cuiyun to ask the grandmother of the owner what she wanted to eat.

"An osmanthus salted duck, two duck heads, cut in half and sent; Duck gizzard, duck liver, duck heart, duck loin each need a small plate, and then on the plate of bad duck paws, the rest of the side dishes are refreshing and delicious, as long as the small plate is loaded. Boil another bowl of japonica rice porridge, and don't put anything aside. Cuiyun looked at the grandmother of the owner, "Grandma is this feasible?" ”

The grandmother of the owner looked at Rui Xue and smiled, "Come and sit." What do you want to eat? ”

Rui Xue sat down uneasily, she was stunned by the layout of this restaurant's private room, which was many times more gorgeous than the room where Second Mrs. Zhao lived. She thought that Mrs. Zhao's house was already gorgeous, but she didn't want to, the restaurant was ......

Things here must be expensive!

"I don't know what to eat?"

Cuiyun nudged her: "You just have to say." Saying they wouldn't do it, we'll smash her shop! ”

Rui Xue thought that the woman would be angry, but she didn't want the woman to still stand calmly to the side, so she only raised her head and pulled a faint smile at her.

She thought for a moment and said, "I just want to eat saltwater duck." ”
