Chapter 475: Yu Feng
Mu Zilan sat in the hall of the Hua family, looking at the dishes on the table and was a little unsaved.
She was alone at the table, Hua Qingyan entered the palace with two children, and the Hou Ye and the prince also went to court and did not return, and when she opened her eyes, the huge Hou Mansion master's house was not there, and she was the only guest left.
However, the housekeeper also took good care of her, and prepared an extraordinarily rich breakfast for Mu Zilan early in the morning.
"Butler Gu, with so many arrangements, how can I finish eating alone."
The ancient housekeeper waited for the maid to set the dishes and chopsticks before saying: "Miss Mu is a distinguished guest of the Hou Mansion, how can you treat it badly, besides, you are the first guest of our Hou Mansion after Ji Tai came, and you have to be treated well by ruthless physics." ”
Mu Zilan was helpless: "But I really can't eat so much." ”
The ancient housekeeper said: "Miss Mu wants to eat some, it doesn't matter if you can't finish eating, there are still people." ”
The things of the Hou Mansion are generally not wasted, and those that cannot be eaten are either given to the people, or they are fed to the cats and dogs, and some of the intact ones are directly rewarded to the poor people. Those people are afraid that they have never been able to eat a good period of time in their lives, so they will not refuse the things sent by the Hou Mansion.
Hearing what Butler Gu said, Mu Zilan also gave up struggling, picked some of the food she had eaten in front of her, and didn't move the rest.
Mu Zilan sighed while eating. The period from Qingjiu County to Yongjing City was the most comfortable for Mu Zilan since her father's death, she didn't have to think about anything, she didn't have to care about anything. I don't know what I'm going to do the next day when I wake up every day, except for eating and drinking, it's fun, and it's very leisurely.
Mu Zilan felt that if she continued like this, she was really going to be decadent, and she never wanted to go back to Qingjiu County to pick up the burden on her body again.
However, Mu Zilan hasn't forgotten the purpose of entering Beijing this time, she just wants to take a look at the people from the merchant and see what the person who stole their wine recipe looks like now! Of course, what she wants to do more is to completely defeat this person!
As soon as Mu Zilan filled her stomach, the Gu butler, who had already retired, came over again, "Miss Mu, there is a scholar outside who said that he knows the girl." ”
"Know me?" Mu Zilan was stunned, she had no acquaintances in Yongjing City except for Hua Qingyan's family, how could any scholars come to the door? "What kind of person is it?"
"Poor scholar, but with a guqin in his hand?"
Mu Zilan wondered, she was a scholar who didn't know anything who could play the piano.
"By the way, Miss Mu, the scholar said that the county lord called him, and Miss Mu was also present that day."
As soon as the ancient housekeeper said this, Mu Zilan understood everything, and the scholar was only afraid that it was a scholar they met in the market the day before yesterday, selling musical instruments. Mu Zilan stood up, "Butler Gu, I know who it is, I'll go with you to take a look." ”
"No need girl, I've already invited someone in."
As soon as the ancient housekeeper's words fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and soon the scholar who had a relationship with each other appeared in the hall. The scholar was still wearing a gray patched robe, and the student towel on his head was even more upright, carrying a small burden, and the guqin that was placed in the wooden box that day was being held in his arms.
The scholar was obviously relieved when he saw Mu Zilan, and after catching a glimpse of the breakfast on the table, he actually swallowed his saliva subconsciously.
"It's you!" Mu Zilan greeted him with a smile.
"In Xia Yu Feng, I've seen Miss." The scholar hugged the guqin and nodded solemnly. 、
Since receiving Hua Qingyan's invitation that day, Yu Feng has been very entangled. The county lord of Huixin of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, who is a well-known figure in Yongjing City, he didn't expect that he would see the county lord one day as a poor scholar, and the county lord actually asked him if he was willing to go to the mansion to do things!
He is just a scholar, although he also has a reputation for showing talent, but in recent years, he has repeatedly failed to make the list. His family background is not good, and in order to provide for him to study, the family has paid too much. Finally, he won the show, but his father accidentally fell from a height during a work, although his life was saved, but his legs were broken, and he could only lie in bed for the rest of his life.
The pillars of the family collapsed, the mother was blind from crying, and the elder brother and sister also began to complain about themselves. Yu Feng simply didn't plan to take the exam anymore under pressure, and made some musical instruments to sell in the market, subsidize the family, and earn money for his father and mother to see a doctor.
Yu Feng didn't want to miss the opportunity given by the county lord, his musical instruments were actually not very good, many people who knew how to do it didn't buy it, but those who didn't know how to play it didn't know how to play, so sooner or later this business would be forced to replace it because no one bought it. However, many people want to buy the piano in his hand. But Qin is now an expensive thing for their family, and he has been with him for twenty years, how can he bear it?
After hesitating for a day, Yu Feng found the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion with a nervous mood, but when he first arrived at the door, he hesitated, the vermilion gate was too magnificent, and it was incompatible with him!
But he didn't expect that he just wanted to turn around and leave, but the closed door was opened, and then he saw the ancient butler, and was asked in a few words, and was led into the door.
It was the first time he had seen such a luxurious place, and it was also the first time he had stepped in, Yu Feng did not squint and did not dare to act rashly, and followed the little guy forward in a regular manner along the way, holding the qin hand extremely tightly, for fear that he would be timid, so he turned around and fled.
"Yu Gongzi is here to find the county lord." Mu Zilan pretended not to see Yu Feng's small movements, and led Yu Feng to sit down, "Young Master Yu, please take a seat, the county lord has entered the palace and has not returned yet." I don't know if Childe can wait for the county lord to come back. ”
Hearing that Hua Qingyan was not there, a trace of disappointment flashed on Yu Feng's face, but he didn't say to leave, "I, I'll wait." After all, it is his last way to live, and if he doesn't hurry up, the whole family is afraid that they will starve to death.
Mu Zilan looked at the breakfast on the table that had not been removed, "By the way, Yu Gongzi, I'm afraid you haven't eaten breakfast yet, if you don't dislike it, sit down and eat together." ”
"Huh?" Yu Feng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mu Zilan's line of sight, and immediately came back to his senses when he saw the table full of delicate breakfasts, "No, no need, I ......"
Before his words fell, the maid on the side had already handed over a pair of chopsticks, and the bowl had already been filled with porridge.
"Childe, please use it."
"Ahh Yu Feng took the bowl and thanked him again and again, "Thank you, thank you!" ”
Looking at Yu Feng's face that was red because of shyness, several little girls on the side laughed in unison, and the crisp laughter was a little teasing, and Yu Feng's head hung lower.
Mu Zilan felt that if he didn't rescue Yu Feng again, he would probably be burned by the temperature on his face, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't disturb Yu Gongzi's meal, you guys go down quickly, I'm going to sue when the county lord comes back!" ”
"No, Miss Mu, you won't sue!" One of the little girls who took care of Mu Zilan's daily life stuck out her tongue, and although she said this, she still led the other little maids out of the hall.
Listening to the footsteps that were fading away, Yu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Butler Gu had already retreated, and there were only Yu Feng and Mu Zilan in the hall now. It seems that because he has seen Mu Zilan, Yu Feng is not as nervous as before, and drinks porridge silently with a bowl.
Mu Zilan saw that he didn't reach out to pick up anything, so she picked up her chopsticks and knocked on the bowl. Yu Feng heard the sound, raised his head and asked silently.
"Eat the vegetables." Mu Zilan pointed to the side dishes on the table, "Although the seafood porridge in the Hou Mansion is very delicious, these side dishes and snacks are also delicious, Yu Gongzi, you can taste it, where can you fill your stomach just by drinking porridge." ”
Although for Yu Feng, porridge can fill his stomach, but the breakfast on the table feels very delicious just by looking at it, which makes him have the urge to taste it. Yu Feng, who was dominated by impulse, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a bun, and took a slow bite.
Mu Zilan had been paying attention to Yu Feng's expression, and when she saw that his eyes widened instantly, his eyes were full of disbelief and surprise, and she couldn't help but smile again. This Yu Feng's expression is really interesting, just like what Hua Qingyan said before, what is this called, oh, it lit up in an instant! It's as if you have the satisfaction of the whole world.
Watching Yu Feng eat, Mu Zilan suddenly felt that she was hungry again. Obviously, I just put down the dishes and chopsticks, but now I can't help but pick up the chopsticks, and I still have a bun and eat it slowly.
The bun is also sunken with shrimp, thin skin and many fillings, and it is full of elastic shrimp in one bite, and the delicious taste fills the entire mouth. Mu Zilan knew as soon as she tasted it, this was Hua Qingyan's filling, and only Hua Qingyan had such a happy craft.
After eating, Yu Feng looked at the breakfast that had been removed and a lot left, and was a little reluctant. A big man, showing the pitiful and longing eyes of a small animal, really makes people can't help but want pity! At least that's how Mu Zilan is.
From Yu Feng's dress, it can be seen that his family is not rich, and it can even be said that he is poor. Thinking about this Western thing on the table, their family has never eaten it. Mu Zilan thought for a while and said, "The Hou Mansion will not throw away the leftover food, and it will usually be given to those poor families in the city. If you don't like it, I'll go tell the kitchen and let them keep it for you to take with you when you go back. ”
In fact, when she said this, Mu Zilan was still a little apprehensive. Does she know that literati always have unwarranted arrogance, and they don't eat food or anything. Mu Zilan was also worried that her words would offend Yu Feng, so she made the teacher invited by Hua Qingyan angry and left.
But I didn't expect Yu Feng to be informal, and agreed without saying a word after listening to Mu Zilan's words, and specially thanked a few words.
The literati are arrogant or something, and they have long been polished by the hard life to the point that there is nothing left. Now for Yu Feng, the most important thing is to fill his stomach with himself and his family! And most of those who hadn't touched it earlier, Yu Feng naturally wouldn't dislike it.
