Chapter 235: Bazaar
Renyi Bo Mansion is a big mansion with four entrances and four exits, listen to Yan Sui's introduction, this was originally the old residence of the king of Jian'an County in the capital, and the saint specially ordered people to expedite the renovation and then rewarded Yan Sui.
Zhu Youning is accustomed to seeing the graceful freshness of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and now the buildings he sees are simple and magnificent, and the magnificence of the vermilion wall and green tiles gives people a different feeling.
Yan Sui arranged her in Xinxueyuan, which was specially used to entertain guests, and specially arranged for a maidservant to serve her attentively.
Zhu Youning couldn't adapt to the weather in the north, so he climbed on the kang early at night, but slept warm and comfortable.
From the next day, Yan Sui changed the way to entertain Zhu Youning.
Wine tasting and plum appreciation in the plum garden; enjoy the snow in the hot spring mountain villa; paid a lot of money to invite the most famous singing and dancing girls to perform; I also invited the troupe to sing in the hall......
Today, he took her to a big mansion near Shichahai.
"What's the fun today?" Zhu Youning has followed Yan Sui in the past few days and experienced the elegant tastes of many upper-class people, but today he came to this place where he could hear the morning bell and dusk drums, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
Yan Sui couldn't help but look down when she heard her tone of voice and was eager to try.
In order to facilitate walking, Zhu Youning now wears men's clothes when he goes out, wearing a light blue dark embroidered moire cross-collared arrow sleeve shirt, a dark blue cloak with a mink collar on the outside, a net scarf on his head, and a sable hat on the outside, a delicate and beautiful goose egg blushing, which is particularly cute and cute.
In Yan Sui's eyes, she is a jade person raised in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, delicate from head to toe, but she doesn't look pretentious when she wears men's clothes, and her demeanor is decent and free.
Yan Sui couldn't help but smile and said, "There is something delicious today, you will know later." ”
"Really?" Zhu Youning's eyes rolled and looked around, "What will be delicious here?" ”
Yan Sui smiled amused by her smart eyes, "There is a Master Jiang here, who used to serve the imperial chef of Emperor Xian and Emperor Gao, and now that he is older, he cooks some private dishes at home." What he does depends on his mood, and whoever is lucky enough to taste his craft depends on chance. I handed over the post to Jiang Yuchu last year, and now this year is almost over, and it is my turn. Today, I happen to take you to taste the craftsmanship of the imperial kitchen. ”
Zhu Youning's eyes lit up when he listened, and he nodded happily, "It's my luck to catch up with this good thing." You've got a heart. ”
Yan Suiwan'er, "If you like it, let's go shopping for other delicacies, there are a lot of delicious places in the capital." ”
He found that she didn't care much about the jewelry he prepared for her, and she didn't see her use those jewel-encrusted hairpins to pull her hair, saying that it was too heavy, and the fat powder was not used by her, but she was very interested in eating and playing.
Jiang Yuchu's house was a sophomore courtyard, and Yan Sui and Zhu Youning were invited to the warm pavilion when they came.
The two chatted for a while, and the four dishes and one soup with a small dish size were served, five-flavor steamed fish, fresh shrimp with pepper and vinegar, minced mutton with pepper, diced eggplant with minced meat, and the soup cup was a hot original mutton bone soup.
The green onion floats on the milky white soup, the white porcelain spoon scoops a spoonful, the muscles and brains tremble and put it in the mouth, the soft and domineering fragrance invades the mouth, and the smell of the sheep can no longer be eaten, but it is a salty and suitable fragrance.
Zhu Youning tasted it and squinted his eyes with a smile.
She and Yan Sui are not people who chat during meals, and the dining etiquette has also been specially studied, and the etiquette is perfect, but both of them eat quickly.
After eating, the two of them ate the best Pu'er tea again, and it was already afternoon when they left Jiang's house.
Zhu Youning sighed: "It's strange that so many people like that location, and this food is too good." ”
Yan Sui was amused by her and laughed with envy and regret: "Feelings, you said that those people want this position, all for food?" ”
"Not really." Zhu Youning touched his nose, "But the craftsmanship of the imperial chef is really extraordinary, if I eat these every day, I am afraid that it will become a ball in less than three months." ”
Yan Sui smiled and said nothing, looking her up and down.
Zhu Youning followed his gaze and looked down at his body with a cotton jacket and a thick cloak like a ball, and then looked up at his slender figure in a gray squirrel cloak, and couldn't help but pout.
Silence is better than sound at this point.
Just after eating, Zhu Youning didn't want to go back immediately, so he said: "I've been in the capital for so long, I've only been to some elegant places, and I haven't gone to the market yet. ”
Yan Sui raised her slender eyebrows, and couldn't help but smile: "If you want to go, you will naturally make it." ”
He originally thought that after years of cultivation by Luo Xun and the rest of the masters, she should especially like the quiet and elegant ones, so he tried his best to take her to enjoy the snow and wine, and listen to the piano and dance. Originally, he also planned to take her to visit a calligraphy and painting master to appreciate the paintings, but in his heart, only these elegant people are worthy of her, but he didn't expect her to want to go to the market.
Zhu Youning naturally didn't know what Yan Sui was thinking, the two got into the carriage, and Steward Yan and the guards of the entourage followed behind, all the way to a lively market near Gulou Street.
Today is the eighteenth, it is the big set, and before the carriage stopped, Zhu Youning had already heard the bustle and all kinds of shouts outside.
After getting out of the car, Zhu Youning was immediately shocked by the crowd in front of him.
That's a lot of people!
Different from Fuyang, the market in the capital seems to gather vendors from all over the country, eating, wearing, playing, juggling, performing, as well as shadow puppetry, puppet show, Zhu Youning's interest is high.
I walked inside for a while, and the stalls were full of snacks from all over the world.
Zhu Youning's smiling eyebrows and eyes bent to look east and west, passing by the barbecue stall, he was not annoyed by the smoke, he was not annoyed by the child who ran around with a rock sugar gourd printed two slimy handprints on the corner of his robe, and he was not annoyed by a hunter pulling to sell the skin.
She thinks everything is new and interesting, and she smiles all the time. Because of this strong atmosphere of life in the hustle and bustle, she feels very relieved and likes it very much.
Yan Sui followed her half a step behind, opening her arms to separate the people who had squeezed behind her, intentionally or unintentionally. Steward Yan and the Bofu guards they brought were closely following Yan Sui's side, always paying attention to the movements around him.
Zhu Youning took a closer look and found that the people in these markets traded in barter, and rarely used treasure money, and after the ban on gold and silver trading, there was no shadow of silver money in the market now.
In front of me, an old woman exchanged a small bag of beans for a bowl of bean curd to eat. Another woman haggled with an old man who sold chicken chicks with a small bag of grain.
Walking all the way, suddenly a three-story building full of red lanterns appeared on the side of the road, the plaque hung high with red yarn, and the three gilded characters of "Star Picking Tower" were shining in the sun.
