Chapter 196 Baihua Restaurant

The moon of fifteen is sixteen round, and the Lantern Festival is not finished until seventeen.

Baihua Restaurant is close to West Street, and you can see the flickering light market and the weaving crowd on Suzaku Street by pushing the window of the private seat on the west side.

Xia Zhiqing sat in the private seat, and red fireworks were reflected from time to time on the white mullion paper behind him.

He took the menu and thought it over for a long time.

The guy who nodded next to him looked at the pair of trimmed cloud-toed shoes on his feet, knowing that he had met a eunuch who came to Kyoto from Jiangnan, and introduced with a smile: "Why don't you order a special dish of our Baihualou Bailing to come to the court?" ”

Xia Zhiqing turned a deaf ear and continued to flip through the menu.

Xianchun, the personal servant who came with him, said with a smile: "We have already ordered a fried quail, or should we change to another dish?" ”

The guy smiled: "Little brother's words are wrong. Crispy and crispy fried quail is one taste, and this lark is made of bird's stones, which is another taste. As he spoke, he smiled thoughtfully at Xianchun, "These are two different dishes. ”

Xianchun's face turned red, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he finally didn't make a sound.

Xia Zhiqing's eyes were cold, he closed the menu with a "snap", and said in a deep voice: "I invited my clan brother Min Luan Min Beishan, I heard that he is a frequent visitor to your place. Pick up what he likes to eat and bring it to you! ”

The man's face really changed, and the smile on his face looked even more sincere: "It turned out to be Lord Min's clan brother!" It's disrespectful. In that case, then I will ask the shopkeeper to set the menu according to Mr. Min's taste! ”

Xia Zhiqing snorted softly.

The man saluted and tiptoed back.

Xianchun said fiercely: "It's really a dog's eyes and people are low!" ”

"Be careful with what you say and do." Xia Zhiqing told Xianchun, "Let Xianqiu go downstairs and wait!" It's easy to serve when Min-sama comes. ”

Xianchun went in response.

There was a faint sound of fireworks exploding outside.

Xia Zhiqing pushed open the window, and colorful fireworks burst into the night sky.

"It is worthy of the feet of the Son of Heaven!" Someone sighed through the window, "The market is bustling and populated!" ”

Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but be curious.

I didn't expect anyone to be like him......

He poked his head out and faintly saw two men, one fat and one thin, standing in front of the window next door.

"It's expensive, too." The man with a thin figure said, "A plate of vegetarian stewed cabbage costs five yuan of silver, and in our place, five yuan of silver can buy a car." ”

Xia Zhiqing suddenly felt cordial.

It turned out that these two people were also from Jiangnan.

In a foreign land as a stranger...... He was thinking about whether to say hello, and the fat man smiled and said, "This is only the price of Baihualou." In other places, it's just a penny. Since we are entertaining, we pay for silver, and the more we have, the more sincere we are. ”

When Xia Zhiqing's words were spoken, he coughed lightly, and the two of them really looked at him. Xia Zhiqing bowed his hand politely: "Listen to the tone, the two of them are from Jiangnan." Xia Zhiqing in Xiazhoushan, what are the names of the two? ”

The two glanced at each other, and the fat man arched his hand at Xia Zhiqing and said, "The contemptible surname is Du." He pointed to the thin man again, "This is my brother-in-law, surnamed Lu." The tone was quite reserved.

Xia Zhiqing saluted the two with a smile and explained, "I also invited friends to get together. ”

When the man surnamed Du heard this, he smiled at Xia Zhiqing and said, "This is really a coincidence. ”

"Not really!" Xia Zhiqing said, "I don't know what the two of you are doing in Kyoto?" Speaking of which, the year is not over yet! ”

The man surnamed Du smiled vaguely and said, "I also came to Kyoto to visit relatives." As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed his brother-in-law, "I don't know if anyone is coming?" ”

The man surnamed Lu smiled and said, "I'll take a look!" Then he waved at Xia Zhiqing, said, "Brother Zhiqing, don't accompany you", and turned to leave.

Xia Zhiqing saw that the two of them were very perfunctory to him, and he was a little displeased, and when he saw that the man surnamed Nalu was very rude, he was even more unhappy, so he waved his hand at the man surnamed Du: "That's the case, I won't accompany you." The tone was very dissatisfied.

The man surnamed Du smiled disapprethoughtly and returned a salute to Xia Zhiqing.

Xia Zhiqing was even more annoyed, and was about to say a sarcastic sentence, but the man surnamed Nalu had already turned back, and said with surprise on his face: "Here, Lord Liang is here!" ”

As soon as the man surnamed Du heard this, he didn't even bother to say hello to Xia Zhiqing and hurriedly turned away, while the man surnamed Lu bowed slightly towards Xia Zhiqing and closed the window lattice with a "snap".

Xia Zhiqing gritted his teeth angrily when he saw this, and closed the window lattice.

It was the first time he entered Beijing, and he was afraid that he would be looked down upon if he could not count the courtesies, so he sent the small servants who served in the private seat, leaving only the personal Xianchun to serve by his side.

Xianchun went and didn't come back, he was very bored in the house alone, looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and sniffed the daffodils on the flower table in the corner of the wall...... Xianchun hasn't come back yet, and there seems to be a faint laughter next door.

Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but listen closely, but he didn't hear anything.

Did I hear it wrong......

He muttered to himself, and the noise of laughter in his ears came from the faint back again.

This so-called Lord Liang should be the person surnamed Du and the person surnamed Lu...... Looking at it like this, the person surnamed Du attaches great importance to this Lord Liang...... It's just that I don't know which yamen this Lord Liang is, these two people can enter and exit the Baihua Building, and they want to have plenty of money.

Xia Zhiqing was thinking about it, and Xianchun pushed the door in.

"What? Min-sama is here? He was overjoyed, and stood up to meet him.

"It's not!" Xianchun shook his head, "It's the eldest brother next to Lord Min!" He said that Mr. Min was called by the emperor for questioning, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come for a while......"

Xia Zhiqing was a little frustrated.

He had always wanted to find a chaste woman like his sister, and he couldn't help but be moved to hear that she could stay and serve his father when Kyoto was under siege. originally thought that as long as she was not disabled, even if she had pockmarks on her face and looked like no salt, he would sincerely ask for marriage...... Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a very beautiful woman...... The face is like white jade, the eyebrows are like Yuandai, especially a pair of eyes, clear and bright, smart and wise, and they look so smart......

I'm just a country showman...... Could it be that Lord Min felt that he was not compatible with the Shen family's aunt and grandmother, so he said a word of shirk?

The more Xia Zhiqing thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reasonable.

Xianchun saw that Xia Zhiqing had been silent, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Son, the eldest brother came to report to us, should we invite him to a meal?" Anyway, people have already arrived at Baihualou, so they can't go back on an empty stomach, right? ”

Xia Zhiqing came back to his senses and said busily: "You're right. Thinking of the dishes he ordered on the table, some of the names were heard for the first time, and he said, "You call Changgui and Xianqiu in!" This dish can't be returned, don't waste it! ”

Xianchun left in response, and quickly turned back: "Brother Changgui said, just let Gongzi wrap two big meat-filled buns for him." He had to rush back to wait for Lord Min. He also said that he would let Gongzi wait a little longer, and as soon as Master Min left the palace, he would accompany him to this side. ”

Lost and regained!

Xia Zhiqing was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Go quickly, see what Changgui wants to eat?" Just point to it! ”

Xianchun smiled and retreated.

Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but sit alone in the elegant seat and think wildly.

His sister told him that Mrs. Min knew about it. Not only that, Mrs. Min also said that although the aunt and grandmother of the Shen family had divorced, Master Shen asked for both ability and political integrity when looking for a son-in-law, and was unwilling to lower his requirements. In addition, the Shen family is now the aunt and aunt in charge, and she is a woman, so she can't go and talk to Master Shen! Let their siblings ask Master Min to come forward......

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but straighten his chest.

I've never been married......

I think Mr. Min is also willing to accomplish this good deed!

Thinking about it like this, it turned out that the glimpse of the shock was becoming clearer and clearer in his mind.

White silk jacket, crimson armor, blue-green skirt...... The opal's earrings dangled around her face, lining her muscles like congealed cream...... It's a pity that I didn't look at myself...... However, the sharpness of her gaze was clear......

Xia Zhiqing was stunned.

Her eyes look very peaceful, but they will reveal a sharpness that does not match her appearance...... Such a person usually has a temper and is reasonable, that is a capable person, and if he does not talk to the end, he is a shrew...... Looking at her appearance, she should be reasonable!

He was puzzled when the door suddenly burst open, and a drunken man looked at him drunkenly: "People, what about people?" ”

Xia Zhiqing was stunned and said, "Who are you looking for?" ”

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy ran over, and while he went to help the drunk, he apologized to Xia Zhiqing: "I'm sorry." Our lord is so hungry! ”

When the drunk man heard this, he waved his hand and pushed the little guy aside: "What, what drank too much!" It must be Ji Min who was afraid that he would let his wife beat and beat him when he went back late, so he ran away, I told him a long time ago......"

The little guy was greatly embarrassed, and while smiling apologetically at Xia Zhiqing, he put a shoulder on the shoulder of the drunk: "Master, you have made a mistake." Is Lord Liang next door? ”

Xia Zhiqing said something interesting, and said with a smile: "I don't have any Lord Liang here......" said, and suddenly thought that the person surnamed Du was listening to what "Lord Liang" ignored himself...... He couldn't help but look at the drunk man carefully.

At the age of thirty, his body has been fat, his eyelids are puffy, and he looks like a person who is extremely indulgent in wine.

"Oh!" The drunken man staggered against the door frame, his eyes wandering away at the little guy, "Master, I was wrong!" A questioning tone.

"No, no!" The little guy coaxed the drunk, and Xia Zhiqing saw the man surnamed Du running over.

He looked at the drunken man's face full of flattery: "Lord Lin, Lord Lin, slow down." We, Lord Liang, are worried about you and specially asked me to help you. So saying, he stretched out his hand to help the drunken man.

The drunk man stared at the man surnamed Du with a bewildered gaze: "You say, Ji Min didn't leave?" ”

The man surnamed Du nodded again and again: "I didn't go, I didn't go." We are waiting for you! ”

The drunk man looked up and laughed: "I thought he was scared by the tigress and didn't dare to go out to drink with me......"

"No, no!" The man surnamed Du stepped forward to help the drunk, reassured him repeatedly, and looked up to see Xia Zhiqing again. He smiled apologetically at Xia Zhiqing.
