Chapter XXII

Just after eating two pieces, Zhao Lu asked outside: "My sister is back?" ”

Xiao Dong said, "I'm back, brother come in." ”

Zhao Lu came in with a suitcase, and said with a smile: "I ordered someone to buy the chestnut soup from Yuanlongfang and come back, my sister should taste it." ”

Belch......

Zhao Lu was a little surprised when he saw the box that had been opened on the table: "Huh? My sister bought it too? ”

"Actually, I didn't buy it, this box was sent by Brother Qin Lie."

Zhao Lu's smile remained unchanged: "I want to go together." That sister will keep it and eat it slowly. ”

After eating all of this, her stomach had to burst.

"How can I eat so much?"

"There are so many people in your yard, let's eat together." As he spoke, Zhao Lu opened the box he brought for Xiao Dong to eat, and easily took the box that Qin Lie bought and handed it to the Hu family: "Mother Hu take it, give them some red tea and try it." ”

Xiao Dong had already eaten six-flavor crisp and mung bean cakes on the road, and then two pieces of chestnut soup, her stomach was already full, and seeing that Zhao Lu still wanted to fill her mouth again, she hurriedly diverted the conversation by drinking tea.

"Brother, I met the second princess and the second prince today. The two of them went one after the other, one with tears in his eyes, and the other was full of alcohol, I don't know if the couple quarreled. ”

Zhao Lu asked, "Where did you meet it?" ”

"When I came out of Changchun Palace and returned to Jiyutang, I was at Wangxian Tower-" Xiao Dong was also a little puzzled when he said this, where did the second prince drink this wine? Wangxian Tower is a streamer pond again, and he drinks wine instead of water in the pond.

Zhao Lu thought for a while: "I heard that the second prince was reprimanded again today, and he was in a bad mood. In the future, when you see that he can avoid it, avoid it, and don't talk much if you can't avoid it. ”

Xiao Dong nodded and agreed, holding a piece of chestnut soup and handing it to Zhao Lu: "Brother eat." ”

Zhao Lu suddenly smiled, and ate the chestnut soup with his hand: "Sister wants to like it, and I will send someone to buy it tomorrow." ”

"It's not uncommon to eat it every day."

When Xiao Dong and Zhao Lu entered the study, they saw a young man in a azure robe under the corridor, and his demeanor was not like that of the people in the palace. The man whispered, "I've seen the prince and the lord of the county." ”

Zhao Lu nodded and said, "No need to be polite." ”

After entering the house and saluting King An, King An smiled and pointed to a cardboard box on the case and said, "Remember that you like to eat, and I bought some chestnut soup from Yuanlongfang in the afternoon." ”

Uh-

Xiao Dong's burps are all chestnut flavors now, and his mouth is full of food, but An Wang looked at her with a slight smile, Xiao Dong coughed, and went over to pick up the box: "I'll take it back and eat it slowly." ”

Yuanlongfang is really prosperous today, and his whole family takes turns to take care of his business, and it is difficult to think about it.

Xiao Dong remembered the person outside the door: "Father, who is that person outside?" ”

"Oh, his surname is Zhang." The others didn't say anything.

Xiao Dong went back with a box of chestnut soup again, and Hu Shi smiled when he saw it: "The county lord can't get along with the chestnut soup today, where did this come from?" ”

"My father asked him to buy it." Xiao Dong frowned and rubbed his stomach: "I can save dinner today." ”

What a sweet annoyance.

"By the way, I just saw a person outside my father's study, and I felt a little embarrassed, I heard that the surname is Zhang, has there been anyone in the house recently?"

Hu Shi thought for a while: "I haven't heard of it. Why, did he collide with the county lord? ”

"No, but I always feel that I have seen this person somewhere, and the sound is somewhat familiar, but this person, I obviously have never seen it."

Hu Shi smiled and said, "Is there a resemblance between him and someone the county lord has seen before?" ”

That makes sense. But Xiao Dong didn't know many people in the first place, and he thought about it one by one, but it wasn't it.

Xiao Dong didn't think about it if she couldn't figure it out, she only drank a bowl of soup at dinner, and her stomach was still uncomfortable, so she went for a walk in the garden to eat. Hu Shi was afraid that the wind would be cold at night, so he brought her a long coat, and told her that the red fu black tea lantern should be more stable and not go to the pool.

The moon and stars are scarce, but in fact, you can see the road without lighting it with a lantern. Black tea has a crisp voice and loves to laugh, and told several jokes along the way to relieve Xiaodong's boredom. Hongfu couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, she felt undignified. She is now the most useful big girl by Xiao Dong's side, and she usually has high standards for herself, and she wants to make a show for others, and she really hasn't laughed so happily for a long time.

"You talk a lot, and I don't know where you heard such slang and colloquialisms."

Everyone laughed, and went back to sleep after eating early. Sister, don't hold it, anyway, there's no one else here, who still laughs at us. Hongfu touched her chin and squinted her eyes like an endless aftertaste: "Yuanlongfang is really worthy of its reputation, the dim sum is really delicious, the first few chefs in our house, the pastries are square and delicate enough, but there is no such taste." ”

Hongfu also said: "That mung bean cake, in fact, we also made it in our house." ”

"Anyway, it's different, I think the house is too sweet, it's okay to eat a piece, and if you eat more, you will get tired. What they make is sweet and refreshing, even if I give me a box, I can eat it. ”

"Do you want to eat a box, a box costs four dollars of silver, how many boxes are you enough to eat a month?"

Xiao Dong pursed his lips and smiled, the dim light in the gauze lamp was revealed, swaying, listening to the sound of footsteps in front of him, Xiao Dong stood still, Hongfu took a step forward, and held the lamp to shine.

In the shadow of the lamp, Qin Lie's face lit up and darkened.

Xiao Dong was a little surprised: "It's so late, why did you come to the garden?" ”

"Just came out of your brother." Qin Lie walked closer, and Xiao Dong suddenly felt quite secure - the wind was blocked.

"Have you eaten the chestnut soup you bought?"

Xiao Dong now wants to burp when he hears the word chestnut, and says with a wry smile: "Don't mention it, you bought it, my brother bought it, and my father actually bought it when he came back. ”

Qin Lie laughed loudly: "You won't eat it all in one go, will you?" ”

Xiao Dong shook his head, Qin Lie pointed to where he came from and said, "The osmanthus flowers are blooming over there, why don't you go over there?" ”

"It's fine."

Qin Lie walked with her for a while, and Xiao Dong asked casually: "By the way, what kind of business did you come to the capital to do?" ”

"Do a little bit of everything, the people of the capital like new things from other places, and the outsiders admire the prosperity of the capital, so I will transport things from other places and then transport the things from the capital."

It's easy to understand. Xiao Dong thinks about it, and that's true. The leather goods in the north and the silk silk in the south, the people in the capital will not be able to do this at any time. And people from other places yearn for the capital, even if it is an ordinary fat powder, as long as you change a delicate box and say that it is an internal palace powder, the value will naturally increase several times. In fact, there are only a limited number of things made inside, how can there be so many that can be circulated and sold? It's just that in the name of this, those who sell fans make money, and those who buy fans have a happy time.

Xiao Dong had such a situation in his mind: Qin Lie carried the burden of the merchant, strode forward, and shouted loudly, "Shanghao Palace Pink Embroidery Thread-".

Ahem, I can't think about it, it's too thunderous.
