Chapter 50: Roast Duck
After washing, but there is no sleep, cloaked in the window to light a small lamp, holding the flute to sit quietly, looking at the thick night, gently blowing a nameless music, a few breaths, the outer courtyard came from the sound of the piano harmony.
Early the next morning, Xie Yun and Xie Ling went to the yamen. Sister Yan Tianshen practiced swords in the garden. Yu'er also followed to learn a little, and she practiced the "Thousand Locks" sister face next to her, and Tianshen pointed out from time to time.
After breakfast, a few people drank tea in the garden, just after the hour. There was a knock on the door of Xie's house.
The waiter brought the little marquis and the Nine Emperor Princes in, "What kind of tea are you drinking early in the morning, Chongguang and I will take you out for a walk." ”
King Ling entered the palace to ask for peace, and the two mothers and sons sat opposite each other.
"Queen Mother, I ordered someone to find some beauty products, and I sent them to you today. ”
"King Ling has a heart, I don't have to bother here, don't waste manpower in vain, just do things well. ”
"The queen mother is the mother of the son, the best person for the son, the son naturally cares about the queen, and the queen mother does not have to worry about the son. ”
"What I told you a few days ago about taking another princess, do you have the candidate you want?"
"I want to marry the daughter of Xiangyang, Zheng Kun's sister Zheng Xian as the princess. ”
"Xiangyang Houfu is now trusted by His Majesty, although the prince Zheng Kun follows you, but Xiangyang Hou does not express his position, as if no one presses, you take his daughter, he has to press if he doesn't press. ”
"The Queen Mother is right. ”
"Since you have thought about it, the queen mother has no opinion, as long as you tell your father that the emperor has agreed to the decree, you can start to do it, you marry the new princess as soon as possible, and have a son-in-law, the emperor's eldest grandson is now more than four years old. ”
The son understood, but he didn't know what his father meant. ”
"There is a chance that this can be done, don't worry. ”
"Well, the eldest brother has entered the palace again today to assist in government affairs. ”
"It's just an assistant to the government, what's inside, what did your father say?"
"My father gave me a few errands, and let me come to visit my mother. ”
"Well, you just get the errand done, it's okay to be proud for a while, it's nothing, and the winner is the one who laughs at the end. ”
Sister Yan waited for the carriage to the bazaar, got off the carriage and walked around, the women all like some gadgets on the street, Sister Yan Xie Yu slowly picked up on the side, Tianshen Nine Emperors walked side by side with a smile, and the little marquis took Xie Yu to the lively place in front of him.
The Nine Emperor Princes whispered to Tianshen, "I'll go over for a while." "Walked to the stall across the street and came back with what I bought.
"Miss Xie Yu, I think this thing sounds good. ”
It is a light green headband, and a finger-sized white jade bell hangs from each end, and the blooming lotus flower is engraved on it, which looks endearing.
"Headband?"
"I think the girl has a graceful body and is very flexible, she should be a person who likes to dance, and this hairband is very good. ”
Xie Yu's face flushed.
The Nine Emperors hurriedly said, "Girl, don't blame me for being abrupt, just to express my gratitude for the life-saving grace of the day." ”
"It's okay, with an elder like me, it's nothing, just accept it if you like it. ”
Reluctantly accepted it, but I don't know how, the little Hou Ye and Xie Xun ran over, and the little Hou Ye was carrying a rooster that had lost a lot of hair in his hand, "Why are you still here, there are people fighting cocks over there, I just said that this will only win, don't believe me." ”
Hand the chicken in front of Xie Yu, facing the side slightly, "This is the one you just won, your brother has to buy it and give it to you, na." "There's still a little redness behind the ears.
Sister Yan and Tianshen glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile, "That's right, all the dishes for lunch are available." ”
As long as the little marquis is teased by him, he can get energetic, "This chicken is not delicious, I invite you to eat it well." Seeing the hairband in Xie Yu's hand, "This headband is good-looking, Xie Yu, you have a good eye." ”
Their group of young ladies stood on the street, and they were carrying a chicken, which was enough to attract people's attention, and they ordered someone to send the chicken to Xie's house.
The two took their sisters and them around, and took them to an alley near noon, and when they walked at the mouth of the alley, they smelled all kinds of fragrances, and the people who hooked their stomachs began to be dissatisfied.
Walking to the third house on the right, it was a roast duck restaurant, and when I walked in, I immediately greeted a clever young man who was eleven or twelve years old, "Young Master Xiao, you and Young Master Li haven't been here for a few days, and you brought friends this time?"
"Yes, I brought them here to taste your family's must. ”
The young man led them to the back yard, where there was fresh bluegrass under the porch, wooden lanterns hanging on the eaves, and two tables with four benches each.
Sister Yan joked to him, "Look at your cockfighting and lackeying appearance, I didn't expect to have this kind of feeling?"
"What a gentleman, it's obviously a handsome son. ”
"You still have a chicken feather on your head. ”
"Where?" hurriedly touched his head, seeing that everyone laughed at him, knowing that he was teasing him.
looked at the snickering teenager, "Okay, you little mountain, you laugh at me too?huh?"
While setting the dishes and chopsticks, he shrank his head and said, "Xiaoshan doesn't dare, don't dare." ”
"Hmph, be careful that I beat you, let your grandfather slice two ducks up, make a few signature dishes, and then take two jars of your osmanthus stuffed, and then go next door later, and let them cook five bowls of wontons and send them." ”
"Okay, I'll be right here. ”
Xie Yu looked around curiously, "Little Hou Ye, how did you find out here?"
"That's not simple, once I walked on the street with Chongguang, smelled the fragrance of roast duck on the person walking by, so he brought us here, this alley, but there are a lot of delicious food, that wonton with duck, delicious and full. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"What's so hard about that. ”
Xie Yu slapped a sycophant by the way, "It's delicious and full, it is indeed the truth, the little marquis has a realm"
"What kind of truth, when I was a child, I also stayed at the border with my father for a few years, and in the army, I just wanted to fill my stomach, and I didn't care if it was delicious or not. ”
Tianshen looked at him a little lonely, "The little marquis is kind, sincere, decisive, and a natural general." ”
"What a natural general, I want to fight cocks and lackeys now, taste the fireworks in the world, and feel more comfortable. ”
Suddenly smelling a fragrance, the young man was holding a case, two large plates of oily charred duck, a plate of white flour pancakes, a thin green onion, and five small plates of ginger-red sauce.
"Guest officer, please taste it. ”
Seeing Xie Yu, the Nine Emperors looked at the shredded green onions in embarrassment, "Miss Xie Yu don't worry, these are very fresh, just put less, wait for some wontons to press, and then I will rinse my mouth with tea, I brought fresh mint leaves here, and if I take a sip, it will be tasteless." ”
"Hey, how did you know I'd bring them here, and mint leaves. ”
"I don't know you yet? you like the roast duck the most, besides, it doesn't hurt to bring some with you, the girls' family will always use it." ”
"Okay, okay, you're smart. ”
Xiaoshan sent side dishes and osmanthus wine one after another.
"Well, yes, follow me and make sure you eat and drink well. ”
"Here comes the hot ravioli. ”
