"Uncle, where did you get this ink chrysanthemum? The chrysanthemums in the palace don't look so good. The second prince asked curiously.

"Hey, this flower is said to have come from overseas, I bought it back when a housekeeper went to Quanzhou to buy, the florist carefully raised it for more than half a year, and then it finally bloomed, and it really deserved its name" Mrs. raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, it can be seen that she is quite complacent in her heart.

"Oh, so my uncle's florist is still a master of raising flowers, and my nephew has a reluctant request, please ask my aunt to agree." The second prince took a step back and bowed his hand to his wife.

Mrs. smiled: "Di'er, they are all their own relatives, why bother to be polite." The second prince said: "The mother concubine has always loved chrysanthemums, and the spring is like a new branch of the chrysanthemum, and I also asked my aunt to bother to let the florist divide another pot out to cultivate well, and when the Chongyang flowers bloom next year, I will bring the mother concubine to her smile." ”。

Madame smiled and said: "Where do you need Di'er to bother about this matter, you will bring this pot of flowers to Niangniang later, it is difficult for her to get out of the palace, send it in and she will raise it to play." ”

Guo Di said embarrassedly: "Uncle, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor, this flower...", Mrs. smiled and said: "Di'er, you are polite again, we will reward this flower now, and I will thank you in two days, it is better to send it to the palace, and the mother is also happy to see it." Guo Di said happily: "Uncle, that nephew is disrespectful." After speaking, he asked the little eunuch who accompanied him to send flowers to the palace.

After the chrysanthemum appreciation, Qi Heng pulled Guo Di's sleeves vigorously, and his eyes were also numerous. Guo Di understood, so he smiled and said to his wife: "Uncle, the prince asked me to climb the mountain in the afternoon, Brother Heng is also older now, why don't you go with me, the prince also said last time that he hadn't seen Brother Heng for a long time." Qi Heng cheered, then stuck out his tongue to cover his mouth, and looked at his wife with pegging eyes like a puppy.

Mrs. muttered for a while, "It's good to go out and get to know each other, it's just...., Xiaoyu, you have to be careful with Heng'er, don't let him eat those messy things." Madame paused heavily on the word "mess", and Xiao Yu understood that this was to make her beware of those poisonous hands. Madame was still not at ease, and pointed to Ziyan and Xiaoyu Xiaolu to serve Qi Heng together.

In the afternoon, the house prepared a car and set off with Guo Di. Guo Di changed into a riding outfit, and he looked more and more long, if it weren't for the narrow shoulders and a slightly childish face, he would really be a young man.

Guo Di asked Qi Heng and Ziyan to have a car, Xiaoyu Xiaolu to have a car, and he rode a horse by himself. Qi Heng also had to ride a horse to live or die, and finally Guo Di asked Qi Heng to sit in front of him. It was obviously not the first time Qi Heng had done this, and after climbing on the horse, he obediently sat in front of Guo Di, holding the saddle with his hand.

Guo Di smiled and said: "Brother Heng, you can only ride such a short section, if you let your aunt know, I will eat it." ”

Qi Heng shouted dissatisfiedly: "How can I do such a paragraph, I haven't enjoyed it yet." Guo Di smiled and said: "What are you in a hurry, you will be six years old when the New Year is turned, and I will send a pony to congratulate you on your birthday." ”

Qi Heng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother Di, you have to talk about it, I will personally choose a horse when the time comes", Guo Di said: "Of course, you choose your own favorite horse." Now you go back to the car. Qi Heng obediently returned to the car and sat down.

This is the first time for Xiaoyu to go out, sitting with Xiaolu, quietly lifting the curtain and looking out curiously. Not far from the Hou Mansion is the East Street, which should be the most prosperous commercial street in the capital. The shops on both sides of East Avenue are lined up with people coming and going, and the horse-drawn carriages are moving very slowly. All kinds of steaming snacks, shouting one after another, the little fish are dizzying.

Xiaolu smiled on the side: "Look stunned, it's the first time I came out." Xiaoyu sighed while looking at this ancient commercial street is quite developed, dim sum shops, jewelry stores, silk shops, stationery stores...... There's a lot to it all. You can see the shops for everything you need in life, and there are many women walking around the streets.

Xiaoyu couldn't help asking, "Sister Xiaolu, can this woman still go to the street casually?" Xiaolu smiled: "Only those high-ranking ladies are poor and exquisite, how can those women from small families have these exquisiteness." Xiao Yu thought that if only he could go out shopping casually, maybe he could come up with some ideas to make a fortune.

Didn't the time-traveling girls in those novels all pass through to make soap and glass, and become a talented girl. Then I thought that I didn't know how to make soap or glass, and I couldn't memorize a few ancient poems. Hey, is an otaku like her only poor to death?

Just when Xiaoyu was happy and depressed, the carriage stopped. The heron lifted the curtain and looked, and the carriage stopped in front of a noodle restaurant. "This is the prince's brother's favorite noodle restaurant", Guo Di's voice had an irrepressible smile.

Xiaoyu got out of the car after Xiaolu and looked at this noodle restaurant curiously. The noodle shop has a small façade, with a dilapidated honeycomb coal stove and a pile of honeycomb coal outside the door. Everyone walked into the noodle shop, there were only three tables in the noodle shop, a young man in a black regular dress with a jade hairpin on his head was already sitting next to one of the tables, one of the two maids was spreading silk on the table, and the other was busy taking out the dishes and chopsticks from the basket he was carrying. Wow, is this the prince? The prince's trip is really unusual.

Xiao Yu took a closer look at the prince and found that the chair he was sitting on had also been carefully laid with cushions. This style, tsk, will really enjoy. Xiao Yu denounced the evil old society while looking at those obviously valuable utensils with envy. There were still a few guards sitting at the next table, staring at Guo Di and his party vigilantly.

"Brother see the prince", Guo Di first saluted the prince, and Qi Heng hurriedly stepped forward to meet the prince. "Well, excuse me, this is... The prince squinted at Qi Heng, "This is the little marquis of the Jing'an Hou family", Guo Di hurriedly introduced. "I haven't seen you for a long time, little marquis, you have grown a little taller. Sit down, sit as you please. The prince said nonchalantly.

Xiaoyu and Xiaolu also hurriedly took out the cushions they had brought with them and laid them out. Finally, the three masters sat down, and Xiao Yu stood behind Qi Heng and looked at the prince. The prince and Guo Di are not very similar, but the chin can be seen to have inherited the same one, both have angular square chins, adding a bit of heroism. is different from Guo Di's heroism, the prince looks a little sluggish, a little decadent and a little literary, if you put your long hair loose and then take a guitar, Xiaoyu thinks that the prince is very rock and roll.

Turning his head, he saw that there was only one person busy at the stove, thinking that it was the shopkeeper of this noodle restaurant. I saw that the shopkeeper looked quite funny, his hair was pulled on the top of his head at will, his clothes were worn in a mess, his trousers were rolled up on his legs one high and one low, and his feet were casually wearing clogs similar to the slippers of his previous life.

He hummed a little song softly, kneading, ramen, cutting, and boiling noodles in one go, which shows that he has been doing this work for many years. "Why does the prince's brother like to come here", Guo Di asked as he fanned the soot from the noodle restaurant. The prince replied lightly, "Brother doesn't eat noodles, brother eats loneliness." Xiao Yu almost laughed when he heard this answer, he didn't expect that this prince still likes to be a literary fan.

The shopkeeper of the noodle shop was busy with his hands, and after a while, the noodles were cooked and served. I saw five slices of brown mutton on the snow-white noodles, lined with turquoise coriander and fiery red peppers, which made people's appetite move and salivate at a glance.

The prince picked up the bowl and said, "Come, you both try this noodle, it's really different from the one in the palace." After everyone thanked in unison, they all picked up their chopsticks and started. This noodle is really different, first of all, the noodles are continuous, each one is as thin as a hair, and it is elastic and chewy in the mouth, with the spiced mutton that melts in the mouth, and the slightly spicy mutton soup, everyone will sweat after eating it.

"It's really delicious", Qi Heng said after wiping his mouth after a few bites. "Today you are a good mouthful", the prince said while eating, "Usually this boss is only open for half a day, but today I came, and he specially opened the fire to cook noodles, which you usually can't eat at this point." ”。

Xiaoyu's attention was on the chili peppers, it turned out that there were already chili peppers in this era, she thought happily, as if she saw the hot pot spicy boiled fish beckoning to her. In her previous life, she was also a foodie, and she was not spicy or happy, and her diet was light during this time in the Hou Mansion, which made her hungry for a long time.

And the shopkeeper waited for them to finish eating, and then stepped forward to clean up, with a look of impatience that Lao Tzu still had something to do, and you finished eating. Xiao Yu suddenly became interested in this shopkeeper and felt that this person must have a lot of stories.

After eating the noodles, the prince and Guo Di said: "Later, we will go directly to Yufeng Mountain, it is estimated that there are many people in Chongyang today, let's just call the name of the Hou Mansion, you call me eldest brother, I call you second brother, and take off all these exposed identities on your body." Guo Di also nodded yes, and after a while, the two of them changed to dress up as scholars, and traveled in the same car with Qi Heng, and selected a few guards with strong martial arts to pretend to be coachmen to protect the courtyard, and the others followed far behind.

Yufeng Mountain is five or six miles in the eastern suburbs of the capital, there is a flying pavilion on the top of the mountain, standing in the pavilion can overlook the panoramic view of the capital, it has always been a good place to climb high. The car to the foot of the mountain, then can not walk, today the Double Ninth Festival to climb a lot of people, bustling cars and horses are blocked in one place. The prince jumped out of the carriage and looked at it and said, "Forget it, let's change places." ”。

The prince instructed the carriage and horses to move to another road on the side of the mountain, which led to the back mountain, and there were hardly any people. The car stopped after a while, and Xiaoyu got out of the car to see that there was a small road winding up on the left. The prince said: "Let's go up the back mountain from here, there are few people in the back mountain, and I also found this place by accident." ”。
