The long queue unconsciously quieted down, starting from the group entering the Tongming Gate to entering the courtyard. In just a moment's time, the entire Tongming Gate was silent, and a needle falling on the ground seemed to be audible.

After the people left, Wen Mingtang picked up the rice balls he prepared last night and took a bite, I don't know if it was because it was cold, I always felt a little difficult to swallow.

Unlike the cold rice balls, the team became lively again, and the small chatter in front of them came into his ears, allowing Wen Mingtang to piece together the identity of the official in the scarlet robe.

Lin Fei, a nineteen-year-old Tanhualang. He was only sixteen years old when he was in the middle of the flower, and this year he just passed the age of the weak crown, and he was the official to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple of the fourth grade, and it is not too much to say that he is young and promising. However, aside from this identity, he also has another identity, the second grandson of Yasukuni, his father Jingyunhou, and his mother is the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

The former is outstandingly capable, and the latter is from a noble background.

There is no lack of ability and background, and such a noble son naturally has nothing to do with them, the palace maids and palace people who are waiting in line to leave the palace.

The small chatter quickly dissipated, and the beauty just took a look, and it was important to wait in line to leave the palace.

Zhao Sishan expected it to be good, when it was Wen Mingtang's turn, it was already past noon. handed over the documents approved by the court and the identity waist card in the palace to the palace people who checked it, and after checking that it was correct, the palace people pushed the documents in front of her, pointed to the lower right corner of the documents, and said, "Sign your name and you can leave." ”

Wen Mingtang picked up a pen and wrote his name in the lower right corner, turned around and walked out of the Tongming Gate.

What she didn't know was that when one of the people from the Imperial Palace saw the name she had written with a pen, he didn't put it aside as before, but couldn't help but pick it up, looked at it carefully, and sighed: "This character is really good!" ”

The document is here, Wen Mingtang's past is unobstructed, although she is also the queen of the convicted family, but after all, she was only eight years old when she entered the court, and the eight-year-old girl worked all day long, and she still had time to practice calligraphy?

"Her surname is Wen." Although the people from the Inspection Palace on the side were also surprised for a moment, they quickly returned to normal, "Think about the official surnamed Wen who was convicted that year. ”

The people of the Palace of Inspection, who were reminded of a sentence, suddenly understood and couldn't help but sigh: "I see! It's not surprising that you say that! ”

This trivial episode was quickly forgotten by the two palace people.

Wen Mingtang also walked out of Tongming Gate all the way and stepped on Chang'an Avenue outside Tongming Gate.

Standing on the blue bricks and stone tiles of Chang'an Avenue, Wen Mingtang looked back at the Tongming Gate that he had just walked out of, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to compare.

Looking at the tall palace wall, it is actually not that thick, but how many people are trapped in it.

Shaking his head and smiling, Wen Mingtang walked forward.

Chang'an Avenue is as prosperous as the original owner's childhood memory, with shops, restaurants, and taverns, and the cries of hawkers and the laughter of pedestrians come to you with the memories of the years.

Wen Mingtang was in a trance, stretched out his hand and subconsciously patted his chest, as if he was comforting himself, and as if he was comforting the body itself.

When she had calmed down a little, she lifted her feet and walked forward.

Now that she has come out, in the future, she will have a lot of time to visit this Chang'an Avenue, but there is no need to rush this time.

However, I didn't eat at lunch, and I only had time to nibble on a cold rice ball, and right now, I was indeed a little hungry.

It's just that because of the meal, many restaurants don't open fire. Wen Mingtang had to ask one by one, and finally asked about a wonton stall that was not yet selling. She spent ten cents to buy a bowl of clear soup wontons, and then ...... After the first bite, his brow furrowed.

The soup is really clear and poured directly with plain water. The small vendors who make wontons are not unaware of this, the white water is tasteless, and they don't sprinkle salt, so they simply sprinkle all the salt directly into the wontons. Salty, bitter wild mustard greens and a little bit of minced meat make up this bowl of clear soup wontons that are sold until more than half of the meal is left.

Really...... The restaurants next to it are all sold out for lunch, but there is a reason why it can't be sold.

After eating two salty and bitter wild mustard wontons, and when he ate the third mustard wonton with a hair in it, Wen Mingtang took a deep breath, and finally put down his chopsticks and got up to leave.

If you eat this wonton any more, the poor cold rice ball in your stomach will be spit out.

Right now, there is no way to take care of your stomach in advance, so you can only go to Brother Zhao Sishan's house to get it done.

It's just that thinking of the brother and sister-in-law in Zhao Sishan's mouth, Wen Mingtang felt that it was better to be prepared, so he deliberately went to the market before going to Zhao Ji's restaurant.

When I came out of the market and walked to the front of Zhao Kee's restaurant, it was not yet time to eat at dusk.

Wen Mingtang walked into Zhao Ji Restaurant, and there was no guest in the hall, only Zhao Sishan's brother Zhao Dalang was wiping the table.

Because I saw it when I went to Zhao Sishan to sell miserably for money in the past, I didn't need to introduce myself.

Wen Mingtang greeted Zhao Dalang and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, I came out of the palace today. ”

Zhao Dalang smiled dryly at her, and the corner of his eye glanced in the direction of the curtain behind him, and Liu, who heard the movement, lifted the curtain and walked out from behind.

Wen Mingtang smiled and looked at the bitter gourd face, garlic nose, and mung bean eyes in Zhao Sishan's mouth, and called: "Auntie." ”

In the past, when he came to the palace to find Zhao Sishan, the Liu family, who had always been polite to Wen Mingtang beside Zhao Sishan, seemed to be a different person at this time, and immediately sneered when he heard this, and said: "Don't call me any aunt, my brother doesn't have a niece surnamed Wen." Come on in! ”

Such a change of face was like turning a book and was also caught by her and Zhao Si's meal, so Wen Mingtang didn't feel strange, only smiled and followed Liu in.

Her dismissive behavior fell in Liu's eyes, and when she entered the backyard, the black dog in the backyard saw the owner and immediately pounced enthusiastically.

Liu raised his foot to the black dog is kick and scolded: "Something with no face and no skin, what kind of autumn wind is coming to the door!" You're not leaving, are you? ”

The black dog who was kicked for no reason screamed twice in pain, causing Zhao Dalang and Liu's daughter Zhao Lian to feel distressed: "Mother, what are you doing?" Where did Mao mess with you? ”

Listening to Liu's finger and scolding Huai, Wen Mingtang's face remained unchanged, but Zhao Lian, who ran out of the house, saw her and happily called her "Sister Wen", and said, "You are here......

Before she could finish saying hello, Liu interrupted her: "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you go to the table to eat? ”

Zhao Lian was obviously a little apprehensive about Liu's mother, smiled at Wen Mingtang, and went to the front.

After sending Zhao Lian away, Liu Shicai said to Wen Mingtang with a cold face: "Come on!" ”

The front of this Zhao Ji restaurant is the façade, and the back is where Zhao Dalang's family lives. There are three rooms in the courtyard at the back, one is stacked with sundries, and the remaining Zhao Dalang and Liu couple have one room, and Zhao Lian has one.

Wen Mingtang naturally lived in a room with Zhao Lian.

Although Zhao Lian's bed is not big, there is still no problem in sleeping with Wen Mingtang and Zhao Lian.

Wen Mingtang put down his burden and was about to go to the front with Liu to eat, but Liu said: "Little lady Wen walked all the way from Tongming Gate to here, I'm afraid that she will be sweating all the time, so let's wash up first and then come to eat!" ”

Although it was not yet summer on this day, after walking for most of the day, Wen Mingtang was indeed sweating, and it was just right to wash up.

However, is Liu so kind?

Wen Mingtang smiled, glanced at Liu Shi in front of him, but obediently responded.

Sure enough, when Wen Mingtang washed up and then went to the front to eat, a plate of wild mustard greens and a plate of braised crucian carp on the dining table were all empty, and Liu looked at her and said with a smile: "Little lady Wen has been washing for too long, and the dishes have been eaten!" ”

Zhao Dalang on the side was as if he was deaf, he didn't raise his head, but pulled the wild mustard greens and braised crucian carp piled up like a hill in the noodle bowl without saying a word, Zhao Lian's face was red, and he couldn't help but say, "Mother......"

Today, the staple food of the Zhao family's evening food is noodles, with a plate of vegetarian vegetables and wild camelina, and a plate of braised crucian carp with meat vegetables.

She had just served the table, and before she could serve the rice bowl, Liu divided the wild mustard greens and braised crucian carp into three parts, and poured them into the bowls of the three without saying anything.

She wanted to say that Wen Mingtang hadn't eaten yet, but Liu glanced at her fiercely and told her to shut up and just eat.

Can...... How can you eat this? After barely pulling two mouthfuls in Liu's gaze, he saw that Wen Mingtang came out after washing, Zhao Lian's face turned even redder, and she couldn't help but say, "Sister Wen, the ...... in my bowl hasn't been touched yet."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a "snap", and the chopsticks in Liu's hand slapped on the table, and sneered: "What did Ah Lian say?" Your sister Wen's ancestor was an official, and she was knowledgeable, how could she rob others of the food in their bowls? ”

Compared with scolding Huai at the black dog Ah Mao, this sentence is even more meaningful.

Does it mean that she and Zhao Sishan want to rob her shop? But from beginning to end, don't say that the shop is not Liu's, not even Zhao Dalang's. The deed of the shop is written in the name of Zhao Sishan.

Wen Mingtang smiled, as if he didn't understand Liu's sarcasm about her identity as a convicted official, and just asked Liu's with a smile: "Auntie, what else do you have to eat?" ”

After all, the shop is Zhao Sishan's name, and Liu Shi doesn't like her anymore, and he can't leave nothing for her, and he still has to do the work on the face. Hearing this, Liu said with a smile: "There is also a handful of noodles, with some pot ash on the face, Wen Xiaoniang doesn't mind, wash and re-burn it." ”

Liu's approach was so ashamed that Zhao Lian's face was about to lower.

Seeing that Wen Mingtang responded with a smile and entered the kitchen, he finally couldn't help it, and said to Liu: "Mother, you are too much." Aunt and Sister Wen ......"

"Mouthy!" Liu glanced at Zhao Lian's noodle bowl without moving a few chopsticks, and said, "Hurry up and eat the meal, and help wipe the table in a while!" ”

Afraid of Liu's prestige, and seeing that her father Zhao Dalang was silent, Zhao Lian didn't dare to say any more, just looked at the mountains of wild mustard greens and braised crucian carp stacked in the bowl, pulled it twice, and didn't want to stuff it into her mouth at all: "The mustard greens are astringent and salty, and the crucian carp is very fishy, so I really can't eat it." ”

Now that it's time to eat, it's not for nothing that there isn't even a single guest in Zhao Kee's restaurant. Even if there are a few dishes taught by Zhao Sishan, Liu and Zhao Dalang are really not this material, and the customers who come to the store usually come once and then don't come.

Although the location of this street is a bit off, the restaurants on the street are doing good business when they get to the meal, but Zhao Kee's restaurant is getting worse and worse. Cooking unpalatable has also become Liu's heart disease, and now, listening to Zhao Lian's disgust with the unpalatable food, I remembered that she spoke for Wen Mingtang three times and twice today.

The anger in Liu's heart came up all of a sudden, slapped the chopsticks on the table with a snap, and scolded: "If you can't eat it, don't eat it!" Go back and eat clean noodles with your good sister Wen! ”

If you don't eat a meal, you won't starve to death! Liu has the intention to teach Zhao Lian a lesson: so that she can understand what is her own person and what is an outsider!
