Chapter Eighty-Seven: Mandarin Ducks
Out of the bamboo house, Xie Jingchen walked to the pavilion.
The secret guard followed behind him and said, "Young Master, why don't I go to the Marquis of Yasukuni again to get the painting back?" β
"It's too late to get it back!" Xie Jingchen's face was depressed.
The dark guard didn't speak, thinking that so many people in Baosheng Zhai would see it, and then spread it to ten, ten to hundred, and it is estimated that half of Kyoto will know that there is such a painting at this time.
The king of Nan'an County, they are too tricky.
Xie Jingchen sat down, couldn't read the book, and finally said, "Bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." β
The dark guard brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to the pavilion.
Xie Jingchen smoothed the paper with a paperweight and dipped the pen in ink.
A quarter of an hour later.
A gray prince of Yasukuni jumped on the paper.
It's not that dark.
But it is precisely because it is not so dark, so the facial features can be clearly recognized, even if there is no painting next to it as a comparison, you can also recognize that this is the Hou Shizi of Yasukuni.
Of course, the king of Nan'an County, the prince of Beining, and the eldest young master of the Dingguo Mansion, one is counted as one, and no one has been spared.
Half an hour later, all four paintings were in the hands of the Dark Guard.
"Send Bao Sheng Zhai," Xie Jingchen commanded.
The Dark Guard leaves with the painting.
Su Jin walked over.
Apricot followed behind with a food box.
Seeing that the dark guard was leaving, Su Jin asked, "Go to the street?" β
The dark guard nodded, "What do you have to buy for Grandma?" β
"I have a list of medicinal materials on my desk, I helped buy it back, and the silver ticket is in the drawer," Su Jin said.
"And me, and me, help me buy a few strings of sugar gourds, and the money is under the pillow in my room," Xing'er said.
ββ¦β¦γβ
The Dark Guard's face turned red.
This maid just treats him as a little follower, and wants him to go to her room to get money?
Even if she's just a little maid, is her room a place he can enter casually?
The dark guard held his forehead and entered the bamboo house.
Apricot cleaned up the stone table and put the food on the table.
The breeze is gentle and the water is sparkling.
"This place is good for eating," Su Jin exclaimed.
"That girl and aunt can eat here often in the future," Xing'er smiled.
"Eating hot pot here in the evening must have a special taste," Su Jin said.
Chafing dish?
Xie Jingchen raised his eyebrows.
Xing'er looked ignorant, "Girl, what is hot pot?" β
No way?
I don't even know about hot pot, so there's no more?
Su Jin sat down and explained to Xing'er what hot pot is.
Su Jin likes to eat spicy food, focusing on the introduction of spicy hot pot, Xing'er said, "Uncle doesn't seem to like spicy food, I'm afraid I can't eat hot pot." β
Xie Jingchen eats vegetables.
Su Jin said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you can't eat spicy, there is a mandarin duck pot." β
Xie Jingchen glanced at Su Jin more, and he thought she would say: It's okay, he just watched me eat.
Again: it's good to get used to eating.
Just what is a mandarin duck pot?
Xie Jingchen was puzzled.
But he is not the only one who is puzzled, there is also a particularly sincere maid.
Xing'er said with a puzzled face, "Girl, what is the mandarin duck pot?" The slave had only heard of the mandarin duck bath. β
Su Jin, "....... β
Xie Jingchen, "....... β
Ahem!
Su Jin and Xie Jingchen choked together.
Xie Jingchen was a little better, he only coughed, and Su Jin's tears almost choked out.
This girl really dares to say anything.
Su Jin waved his hand again and again, "I'll tell you when I go back, you go down to eat first, and you will have to decoct the medicine later." β
Xing'er was a little hungry, and she said, "The slave has gone down to eat." β
Apricot ran away happily.
Su Jin looked at Xie Jingchen, his face was still embarrassed, "The mandarin duck bath I said ......." β
Xie Jingchen looked at her.
Su Jin slapped herself on the mouth, a little wanting to die, how could she be taken into the ditch so easily.
No longer talking, silently chopping rice.
It was the first time Xie Jingchen had seen Su Jin's shy appearance, and she almost thought that she was dazzled, but she would also be shy.
But the mood has never been better.
Moreover, he was a rare quiet meal.
Speaking of the secret guard, he took the medicine list and the silver ticket and left the Guogong Mansion.
I went to the pharmacy first, let people grab the medicine, and then sent the painting to Baosheng Zhai.
Bao Sheng Zhai's business is booming, the paintings sent by the king of Nan'an County, Bao Sheng Zhai is carefully framed, and hung on the wall for people to enjoy, word of mouth, everyone knows that Bao Sheng Zhai paintings are well framed, and there are naturally more guests who come to the door.
Seeing the secret guard come forward, the shopkeeper of Baosheng Zhai did not welcome him, but the guests who came had to greet him with a smile.
The Dark Guard put the paintings on the counter and said, "Frame these four paintings and hang them next to those two paintings." β
I didn't come to paint, the smile on the shopkeeper's face was a little gentle.
When I looked at it again, the painting was gray, and the corners of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched.
Dare to love this is deliberate revenge.
But it's a good thing for this Bao Sheng Zhai.
The shopkeeper is busy.
As soon as the dark guard left, the shopkeeper said, "Send it for framing, be sure to frame it as quickly as possible." β
I came out of Baosheng Zhai and went back to the pharmacy, just to buy the medicine.
Because I bought a lot, and I was an acquaintance, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy asked someone to help send it to the Guogong Mansion.
The dark guard went to the street to help Apricot buy sugar gourds.
When it was time to buy it, the dark guard hesitated.
It's not that they don't want to help.
Ratherβ
Buy a few bunches of questions.
The amount of medicine for the young grandmother is clearly written, but how many strings are the maid's?
In view of the fact that a few of Dongxiang Hou's ones are a tray, hundreds or thousands, and a few strings of maids who are deeply rooted in Dongxiang Hou's true inheritance, the secret guard is not sure.
After buying six strings of sugar gourds, the dark guard thought about it, turned around and went back, and even bought the sugar gourd rods from other people.
There are not many sugar gourds on the top, only about 20 strings.
The dark guard walked forward carrying the sugar gourd pole, and met another sugar gourd seller, who carried more than him.
The Dark Guard frowned and walked over to the candy gourd seller.
"You, what are you going to do?" The vendor selling sugar gourds looked wary.
"Buy sugar gourds."
ββ¦β¦γβ
The peddler was stunned.
After selling sugar gourds for so many years, it is the first time I have met a peer buying sugar gourds.
The dark guard bought twenty strings of sugar gourds, then tied the strings of sugar gourds, paid the money, and left.
Hawkers," ....... β
Does this man have a bad brain?
The dark guard rode through the street, and happened to be seen by Chu Shun, who was walking for food, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Big brother's secret guard has changed his career to sell sugar gourds?" β
"It is necessary to take care of his business," said the king of Nan'an, sneering.
"Don't go, don't go, let's buy a few bunches," Hou Shizi of Beining shouted with shaking shoulders.
ββ¦β¦γβ
The dark guard grabbed the horse's belly and ran away.
The little guy carried the box into the backyard, and the dark guard walked all the way with the sugar gourd pole.
I don't know how many maids swallowed saliva I heard.
I don't know why they like to eat such a sour thing.
In front of the bamboo house, Xing'er was decocting the medicine, and Su Jin saw how the medicine was boiling.
Watching the dark guard come back with a sugar gourd pole, under the sun, the red ones were particularly dazzling.
Su Jin, "....... β
Apricot," ....... β
"Girl, didn't the slave say to buy a few bunches?" Apricot asked in a whisper.
"It's a few strings," Su Jin said.
"Isn't he in a bad nut for the job?"
ββ¦β¦γβ
A worried tone, a sympathetic look in his eyes.
The dark guard was so moved that he almost couldn't help throwing away the sugar gourd pole that he had carried all the way.
