Chapter 68: The Old Man in Cloth Grilling Fish in the Palace [2]
Xiao Yumiao listened to the shrill and feminine voice of the eunuch father-in-law outside and the masculine voice of Baili Qingyun, and as soon as she announced and responded, she even saved herself from getting out of the car to salute and receive the order, and she couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts for a while.
Yuehua Garden, Baili Qingyun's attitude towards Xiao Yumiao was still cold, but Xiao Yumiao directly ignored it.
As for the dozen or so palace maids and eunuchs who stood at the gate of Yuehua Garden to greet Xiao Yumiao, they were completely amused by the gold ingots rewarded by Xiao Yumiao, and the leading chief eunuch received two big gold ingots from Xiao Yumiao in private, and his eyes were so smiling that he could hardly see his eyeballs.
Therefore, Xiao Yumiao mentioned that he didn't like to be served in the name of taking a bath since he was a child, and when he feasted his eyes on his peerless figure, the chief eunuch didn't say a word, and directly cleared all the palace maids and eunuchs who were preparing to serve Xiao Yumiao's bath in the house.
When Xiao Yumiao came out freshly and refreshingly, it was very quiet in Yuehua Garden.
Not to mention that the palace maids and eunuchs are nowhere to be seen, even the evil star of Baili Qingyun is not there, and even more importantly, the two Xiao family martial guards who entered the palace with Xiao Yumiao are not there.
If it weren't for seeing that the two unicorn carriages were still in the courtyard, Xiao Yumiao really doubted whether she was in the palace.
A gust of wind blew, wafting the tempting aroma of grilled fish, Xiao Yumiao's stomach rumbled twice, and involuntarily looked for the fragrance of grilled fish to the depths of Yuehua Garden.
Unexpectedly, there are plane trees in the deep courtyard of this palace, and the leafy plane trees on both sides of the road in the park have grown very tall, and they should be some years old.
Xiao Yumiao didn't have the heart to pay attention to these plane trees, only looking for where the smell of food came from.
Unexpectedly, the design of this Yuehua Garden is very chic and novel, just now it is still a sycamore in the shade of the forest, and the path turns but it is completely different from the scene of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
The weeping willows on the edge of the blue wave pool are green, and the seven-colored purple lotus in the pool competes for beauty.
The small bridge flows through the pavilion, and there is an old man in cloth in the pavilion who is hanging the hook, and the tempting aroma of grilled fish is wafting out from the pavilion.
Because the smell of fish was stronger as it got closer, Xiao Yumiao quickened her pace.
Sure enough, there was not only grilled fish in the pavilion, but also a pot of purple lotus boiled fish.
"Wonderful, uncle, your golden fish is not only roasted crispy and flavorful, but the purple lotus boiled fish is unparalleled in the world."
The old man with the hook seemed to have just discovered Xiao Yumiao, put down the fishing rod in his hand, got up, and looked Xiao Yumiao up and down very carefully.
"Hmph, I'm not very old, but my small mouth is quite good at coaxing people."
"Uncle, I, Xiao Yumiao, never tell lies and coax people, I don't believe you let me eat and see, I can eat all your grilled fish and the purple lotus boiled fish."
The old man in cloth was happy, "It's beautiful to think about, you eat it all by yourself, it's really ...... I've been busy for most of the day, and I just can't eat it? ”
Xiao Yumiao was also happy, "Uncle, eat and eat, what you want is to eat with others to have a taste, as the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come by chance, this is a coincidence, this is the food." I just happened to catch up with your good food, uncle, and you have a good mouthful, how can you eat alone? ”
"Little slippery, sit down."
Xiao Yumiao didn't shirk, sat down with a smile, picked up the ready-made wine jug on the table and filled the cup in front of the old man in cloth first.
"Uncle, you are really a good person, today you invited me to eat fish and drink, and I Xiao Yumiao will definitely invite you back another day."
