Text Chapter 151 Idle Things
A few small servants sent the dishes in, Beiqing and the others took it and put it on the table, Li Xiaoqi looked carefully at the four elegant side dishes on the table, pointed to an emerald red, green and white silk and recommended: "You try this." Su Zicheng picked up the silver chopsticks and tasted a few threads, nodded and smiled: "Sour and crispy, this is a cucumber?" ”
"Well, the green ones are cucumbers, the red ones are red radishes, and the white ones are sour bamboo shoots, all of which are refreshing and appetizing." Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at the other three side dishes, nodded with satisfaction, and while speaking, Beiqing put two or three more hot stir-fries, and a red copper pot came up, Li Xiaoqi smelled the fragrance emanating from the pot, and sighed with satisfaction: "This kind of game can be eaten here!" Su Zicheng glanced at her, pointed to the pot a little helplessly and said, "Where can't you eat such game?" It's not just Feng Lok Lou! Li Xiaoqi smiled, stood up, first served a bowl of soup to Su Zicheng, and then another bowl himself, sat down and drank slowly, Su Zicheng lowered his head and drank a few sips of soup, looked at Li Xiaoqi, and suddenly said: "When I was ten years old, it was also the Chinese New Year, my eldest brother took me to listen to Xiaoqu'er, my mother was very angry when she found out, and punished me for copying the book for half a month, and punished my eldest brother for kneeling at the gate of the palace all night. ”
Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng for a moment, and said with a smile: "She is afraid that you will learn to wander and not do your job, or indulge in women?" ”
"Well, since then, my eldest brother and I have never dared to linger in the streets." Su Zicheng replied in a low voice, Li Xiaoqi subconsciously turned his head to look at the excitement outside, his mind turned slightly, and said with a smile: "At that time, you were still young, and King Ning had just come of age, so the first queen naturally had to be more restrained, and now that your brother is older, if the first queen is still there, I don't know how much relief I am to see you and King Ning so blue, and if you go to the market again, she also knows that you will not wander around and do not do your job, let alone indulge in women." Su Zi looked at Li Xiaoqi sincerely, and suddenly laughed: "If my mother hears your words, she will definitely punish you for copying the book of Emperor Shun of the previous dynasty!" Li Xiaoqi stuck out her tongue, she forgot about this, that Emperor Shun, the front was bright and the back was dark, in his thirties, he was obsessed with a teenage beauty, and he was so troubled that there was wolf smoke inside and outside the country.
"Hey, in addition to the sacrifice, Emperor Shun has been out of the palace gate once, and he has not been able to go back when he leaves the palace gate, he really hasn't wandered around the streets, whether this person in the upper position is virtuous or not, not where to linger, just to see if he can always be vigilant, depending on the throne and the country as walking on thin ice, King Ning is so self-disciplined, there is not even a side concubine in the house, and he will definitely not do such a foolish thing." Li Xiaoqi smiled and argued, Su Zicheng's face changed slightly, he didn't answer Li Xiaoyi's words, he put a spoonful of soup with a silver spoon, looked at it for a while, and then put it in his mouth without knowing the taste, Li Xiaoqi thought carefully about what he said, couldn't think of anything wrong, and couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while, so he didn't dare to say any more, but he didn't seem to see Su Zicheng's mistake, and pointed to a plate of white and tender tofu shreds and recommended: "Try this." As he spoke, he handed it over with a small plate, Su Zicheng took it and took a bite, smiled and nodded again and again: "This is good!" Is it tofu? Extremely tender. ”
"There are only two things in this dish, one is that the knife skills should be good, and the other is that the soup should be fresh." Li Xiaoqi introduced with a smile, while speaking, he took a few other dishes and handed them to Su Zicheng to taste, the two looked at the excitement outside, gossiped, and ate slowly, Nanning made tea again, the two drank two cups, got up and left Fengle Building, got in the car and went straight to Nanqiao Wazi to see the excitement.
The car stopped in a remote alley, and Dongping reported respectfully: "Back to the master, the front is the Nanqiao tile, please show the master, is the car in?" ”
"You don't have to go in!" Without waiting for Su Zicheng to speak, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly refused, and after speaking, he turned to look at Su Zicheng and said with a smile: "There is a record of Liang Wangfu in this car, it's not good to go in, let's go over and watch the excitement quietly." Su Zicheng smiled and agreed, the two got out of the car, outside the car, Changming stood beside Dongping and waited, Su Zicheng glanced at him, did not speak, Changming took a few steps back, led people to hide in the crowd, echoed and guarded the two, Dongping and the small guys arched back and forth, all the way to the south bridge tile in. Li Xiaoqi sensitively looked at the bright or dark guards around him, and sighed secretly, this is in Kaiping Mansion, he is just a prince, and those who can break into the emperor's car in the drama to sue what the emperor is doing, all of them are miracles!
Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyi, who was familiar with the way and led him straight to the Dazong Pass, and asked with a smile: "You often come here?" ”
"I don't come often, so how can I have time?" Li Xiaoqi replied regretfully, Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, Li Xiaoqi pointed to the three-story small building not far away that was covered in red and hung with colors, carved beams and paintings, and painted red: "Look there, that is called the Red Mansion, it is a hook fence, don't look at the outside to look vulgar, but the layout inside is very elegant, the most popular lady is called Red Peony, this is the custom of the Red Mansion, the most popular Miss is called Red Peony, a red peony is old, and there is a new branch on the top, and now this branch just came up in October last year, and played a good pipa, I heard it once, It's really called the big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate, let's listen to it later? Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Lu Feng brought you here?" ”
"No, I came by myself, Lu Feng is only interested in the top brand, the rules of the Red Mansion, the art is not selling, the old peony is not good at dancing, the poetry is also very good, I have read a lot of books, the person is elegant, and the knowledge is good, I heard that I went to a big merchant from Wu Di to be a small star a year ago, I hope she meets a lover." Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at Su Zicheng and said with a smile: "Do you know why that peony went with the merchants of Wu Kingdom?" Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi with a slight sneer suspiciously, Li Xiaoqi laughed and whispered: "This red peony is surprisingly soft, and it is better to dance well, there is more than one Hou Gongzi who wants to pick this peony in Kaiping Mansion, she is smart and powerful, she has been doing this red peony for more than a year, and she has been going around for more than a year, and last year she suddenly broke her leg, saying that she was lame, so she had to follow a businessman from Wudi." ”
Su Zicheng frowned: "Master Hou? How do you know these things? ”
"That peony is called Luoyan, I watched her dance and said a few times." Li Xiaoqi replied with a smile: "Actually, it's not just her, this red kabuki of Kaiping Mansion, which one is not like this?" I can't help it, but I like her the most, there are not many women who have this knowledge, and even fewer who are so ruthless. Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi with understanding and said, "It seems that the prince's house is not a good place to live. ”
"Which prince's mansion is not a good place to live, this Kaiping Mansion, which prince is not three wives and four concubines? If you are a wife, you are sad and tired, and if you are a concubine, you are worried, it is better to follow a rich businessman, without those rules, to do business everywhere, although you are a little adrift, but fortunately, you are free. Li Xiaoqi didn't wait for Su Zicheng to answer, he pointed to a huge shed next to him and said with a smile: "Look there, there are miscellaneous dramas inside, I heard that there are two or three teams here, and they are competing, let's go and see it when we have time, I like to watch ghost shows the most, those people are drilling around in the smoke all over the stage, pretending to be in the sky and the earth, and it is very fun." ”
Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyi, but continued with what he had just said: "Shinong businessmen, businessmen are sharp and profitable, in the end, they are despicable, don't say such things in the future, you can't think like this anymore, do you hear?!" ”
"Well," Li Xiaoqi was as good as a stream, and promised extremely neatly: "I just said it casually, said that the wild goose fell, she is a female play, she is used to being free, naturally this is the best, you see, the front is the place where Guan Pounce, go quickly!" We're going to make a big profit today! Li Xiaoqi said as he stretched out his hand and pulled Su Zicheng forward, Su Zicheng was stiffened by her pull, his face flushed, and he ran forward a few steps with some staggering.
The tall and spacious shed is very lively, Li Xiaoqi pulled Su Zicheng's family to look over, there are many ways to pounce, there are dice throwers, guesses, shakes, pots, all kinds, Li Xiaoqi looked at it while thinking with Su Zicheng: "I can't •••••• roll the dice, will you?" Su Zicheng hurriedly shook his head, where did he play this, Li Xiaoqi decisively denied the dice rolling, and continued to look down: "It's not okay to guess the coin, it's not okay to shake the lot, let's throw the pot, if you shoot the arrow well, the pot will definitely be able to throw it well!" Su Zicheng hurriedly waved his hand: "You can just play, I'll watch!" Li Xiaoqi didn't seem to hear his words, pulled him, only picked a stall with a pitcher as a guanpu, went all the way, saw a stall with a few pieces of jade pearls placed everywhere, looked carefully, pointed to a palm-sized piece of jade and whispered: "Look at that, Fulushou three-color jade, although the water head is a little worse, it is better to plant it, let's have this piece!" ”
Su Zicheng looked at the jade that really made him look down on speechlessly, and said with a smile: "Let's just play, it doesn't have to be his stone, you come to vote, I'll help you." ”
"Good! I'll give it a try. Li Xiaoqi let go of Su Zicheng's hand, Dongping and Nanning looked at the ten big money marked next to the jade, and looked at each other in embarrassment, Li Xiaoqi had already taken out ten big coins from the big purse hanging on his waist, Nanning hurriedly stepped forward half a step, reached out and took the big money from Li Xiaoyi's hand, and handed it to the stall owner, the stall owner was a thin old man with thief eyes, bowed down to take the big money, and hurriedly handed ten slender bamboo sticks to Nanning, accompanied by a smile on his face and said: "This master, ten branches, the jade will belong to you, more than five branches, In that pile of things, you can pick at will. ”
Li Xiaoqi took the bamboo stick from Nanning's hand and checked it, stood with his two feet one after the other, bit his lip nervously, stared intently at the long-necked bottle with a slender neck ten steps away, and was engrossed in the comparison for a long time before carefully throwing one out.
