Although Shen Ziyi's garden does not occupy a very wide area, it has a large lake. The big banyan tree was just near the water pavilion by the lake. The pavilion is an open structure, with only railings on all sides, and the roof is very high, so the view is extremely open. In addition, it is only in the morning at this time, and it is a semi-cloudy weather, the sun comes and goes, sitting in the water pavilion, the cool breeze is blowing, and the lotus flowers are all around, which makes people extremely comfortable.

Everyone was joking in the water pavilion, but they saw a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old with a beautiful face and a refined temperament, with a few people and a lot of things, laying a board under the tree, putting a stove, and directing a young man to carry water, as if she wanted to eat there like the two fat men next to her, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Who is that?" What's to be done? ”

"yes, what new tricks are you going to play?" The other person also laughed with a fan over his mouth, his eyes looking at Lord Wanhua.

Lord Wanhua wants to marry Wing Gongzi, which is a well-known thing. Shen Yuan's movements, no one knows better than her.

The county lord of Wanhua glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, who was busy under the tree, with disdain, and then swept everyone with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Do you know that our Yuan Shenyi of Beiyan has opened a dim sum shop?" ”

Although Yuan Tianye's background is not noble, he is a talented person and has excellent medical skills; This time, he healed the illness of the emperor and King Duan, as long as he wanted to, it would not be a problem to be a royal doctor or an official. So he has always been the dream lover of these boudoir ladies, and there are not a few who want to marry him like Qin Qingman. Hearing Lord Wanhua's words, everyone suddenly became interested, and asked in a gossipy voice, "Really? How could he open a dim sum shop? Where to open? ”

There are a few people who are more sober and concerned about current affairs, but they frowned and said, "Wait, wasn't Lord He Wenqing dismissed just a few days ago because of Doctor Yuan's search of the dim sum shop?" Why didn't Doctor Yuan open a heart shop a few days later? ”

That's what Lord Wanhua was waiting for. She smiled encouragingly at the girl who said this. "Not really." For the sake of a missing maidservant, he almost didn't lift Lord He's dim sum shop! At first glance, I heard about him opening a shop. I thought that in order to have one less opponent in trading, he deliberately looked for the ballast of the dim sum shop of Mr. He. ”

There was someone who liked Yuan Tianye, who was suddenly unhappy with this statement, and said, "Isn't it? Doctor Yuan is keen on medical skills and never cares about the affairs of the court, otherwise he would not be reluctant to be an official. Moreover, he healed the illness of the emperor and the adults, but he received a lot of rewards, and he would never be short of money. How could he deliberately go to Lord He for the sake of opening a dim sum shop for himself? ”

"Hmm. Isn't? I don't think so. Many others nodded in agreement.

"You don't know that, do you? Do you know why Lord Yin Zou of Yancheng Mansion went to search Lord He's dim sum shop that day? The Lord of Wanhua County asked with a mysterious smile.

"I don't know. Why?

Some of them knew a little bit about the inside story, and replied hesitantly: "I heard that one of his maidservants has disappeared in the shop." ”

"That's right, but it's not a handmaiden. It's a cook. Lord Wanhua clapped his palms. Then he asked, "But do you know who the cook is?" ”

This time, no one knew, and they all shook their heads: "I don't know." ”

"Look over there." The county lord of Wanhua pointed his jade-like finger to the big banyan tree. "Well, that's the girl in the light green dress."

"Huh?" Everyone turned their heads one after another, curiously following the fingers of the county lord of Wanhua, and looked down. What I saw in my eyes was the fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman under the banyan tree I saw just now, with a beautiful face. The smile is sweet, and the hands and feet are extremely elegant. The temperament is fresh and refined, and it doesn't look like a subordinate at all, and the tolerance is no different from that of them. It's just that the light green muslin skirt shows her identity as a subordinate.

"Doctor Yuan is for this woman to let people search Master He's dim sum shop?" There is a person whose brain is spinning fast, and he can't help but scream.

"Exactly!" Lord Wanhua glanced at everyone proudly and nodded heavily.

Everyone thought about and guessed the relationship between Yuan Tianye and the cook, and there was silence in the water pavilion.

The county lord of Wanhua was extremely satisfied with the effect of his words, and broke another news: "A few days ago, my brother and I passed by here to come in and sit, and we met Doctor Yuan who also brought this cook in. What do you guess they're here for? ”

"What are you doing?" At this time, everyone's minds were completely led away by her.

"Let's sell dim sum ! Lord Wanhua threw a bomb.

"What?" Everyone was completely stunned by this bomb.

Doctor Yuan, a talented and immortal Doctor Yuan, is like a merchant, coming to sell dim sum? !

Everyone invariably turned their heads to look under the banyan tree, and they all turned their heads to this thought in their minds: He opened a dim sum shop and personally came to sell it, but for this cook?

Thinking that Yuan Tianye was always indifferent to them, although he was polite, he had a detached attitude. These young ladies suddenly felt bad in their hearts.

"I just thought, how could such a fairy-like Yuan Divine Doctor do such a vulgar thing for a cook? So every persuasion was done that day. Doctor Yuan was still angry at what I said, and insisted on letting Yi Gongzi use his newly opened dim sum at the banquet. The girl ......," she pointed to Lin Xiaozhu, "and her attitude was extremely firm, so I couldn't see it, so I proposed to send my cook over to compete with her at this banquet." ”

She covered her mouth with a fan and said with a smile: "Everyone is bored just writing poetry." I did this to add a new show to everyone and find new fun. ”

"The chef in Duanwang's Mansion is a master of our Beiyan Imperial Kitchen level. With such a comparison, the woman must not dare to come out to offer ugliness in the future. Doctor Yuan's dim sum shop can't be opened, so there is no need to be ashamed. What Lord Wanhua has done is a great thing! A woman said.

Everyone nodded.

The county lord of Wanhua usually has an arrogant attitude and domineering behavior, and most of the noble ladies present look down on her. And this time, her approach was unanimously recognized by everyone.

Lord Wanhua's goal was achieved, and he was very happy: "So, if you want everyone to judge compared to the competition for a while, you can say justice to our Duanwang Mansion." ”

"That's for sure." Everyone has expressed their positions.

"What are you talking about?" Several handmaidens came upstairs with a beautiful woman in her thirties.

"Princess Danyang." Everyone quickly stood up and saluted the woman.

"Auntie." Lord Wanhua also stood up, with a smile on his face, but a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. Princess Danyang didn't come, she was the biggest here, and everyone flattered her; But as soon as Princess Danyang came, she had to stand aside. Princess Danyang usually likes to participate in banquets and banquets, and she is funny and talented, so everyone likes to associate with her and is willing to invite her.

"Sit down, sit down." Danyang Gongzi raised his hand and said with a smile, "It's hot, I stayed at home for a while, and I was in a panic." I heard that Yi Gongzi was going to hold a poetry banquet, thinking that his garden was close to the water, and it must be cool, so I came with the attached horse. Then he asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Talking about right and wrong behind people's backs is not done by a lady. So where do you dare to say the topic just now, and only prevaricate with other words.

Princess Danyang listened to a few words downstairs just now, and she knew it in her heart. didn't say anything at the moment, just looked at the tea on the desk, and quipped: "Although this winged boy is on the guest side, he is also stingy." There are no snacks on the plate, only we are invited to dry tea. ”

Shen Yuan, who was standing next to her and poured tea for her, hurriedly explained: "Because there was a food competition for a while, Childe was worried that everyone had eaten dim sum and was not interested in the dim sum of the competition, so he didn't put the dim sum up. ”

Princess Danyang's eyes lit up: "Oh? Food competition? This is good, this is good. After speaking, he smiled again, "I'm not afraid of everyone laughing, I just like to eat." I am glad to hear that there is something delicious. ”

"We also like to eat good food." Everyone laughed.

"Ah, here they are." A girl sitting by the window pointed to the lake.

I saw a two-story dragon boat on the lake, rowing towards this side. Naturally, the people sitting on the boat were all male passengers. Although Beiyan is open, it has not reached the point where men and women have the same table, so the male guests just now got on the boat from elsewhere. At this time, if you want to compose poems and be lively, you naturally have to row the boat next to the water pavilion.

Most of the ladies here are young ladies who have not yet left the cabinet. Seeing the arrival of the male guests, and Princess Danyang by the side, everyone calmed down, drinking tea, talking and whispering, and refused to talk about anything as casually as just now. It's just that some of the people who originally cared about Yuan Tianye still glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, and after glancing, they looked at the ship that was getting closer and closer, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Seeing this, Wanhua County smiled smugly.

The dragon boat drew nearer and came to a halt a foot away. Shen Ziyi stood up first, arched his hand to this side in the open space on the second floor over there, and said in a loud voice: "Shen lives here, there is no hostess in the garden, and I neglected the girls, please forgive me." After speaking, he made a deep sigh.

The girls here all pursed their lips and laughed, but no one stood up and spoke. The prince of Danyang and the county lord of Wanhua are here, and it is not their turn to say kind words.

Lord Wanhua stood up with a smile and was about to speak, but he didn't want Princess Danyang to sit there and not move, so he said in a loud voice: "If Young Master Yi marries a hostess in our Beiyan, I guess our girls here will not blame you for being slack." ”

There were a boatload of girls who were embarrassed here, but the men over there laughed "coaxingly" and teased Shen Ziyi again and again.

The county lord of Wanhua was a little annoyed that Princess Danyang had stolen her limelight. But when I heard her next sentence, I suddenly drank ice water like a June day, and I felt comfortable everywhere. She smiled shyly, and called out in disgust: "Auntie! (To be continued)
