Chapter Seventy-Two: The Screen
Ruan Yuyi looked around, but she still didn't see the figure of Mu Ling, so she refused, "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that I still have a servant to look for the paper kite that has been blown down, if she looks for us everywhere and doesn't see it, I'm afraid she will be in a hurry." ”
As she spoke, she could almost imagine the little maid wandering around by the stream alone, thinking that she had been thrown down, and her eyes were red in a hurry.
"What's the matter, I'll leave one person down and wait for her. Wait for lunch, and it's not too late to come back and meet her. ”
Her lips pursed, but she finally refused.
The romance of the county king in front of him is comparable to that of His Royal Highness the Prince. If she hadn't thought about it, and she didn't think that anyone dared to pretend to be the prince of Yu Wang, she would have felt that this person was the prince.
Speaking of which, from the very beginning, she approached the prince in order to break away from the Cheng family, so as long as she can help her achieve this goal, no matter who the other party is, it will not make much difference to her.
Seeing that she responded, Jiang Qi moved his gaze to the girl in a lilac-colored dress and asked, "Then you have to wait a little longer?" ”
When they passed by before, they had all seen the appearance of the servant, and it was not difficult to identify it by the color of the clothes. The woman who was called Ah Qing said, "Your Highness is used to supporting concubines." That's a yes.
"You go back first, and this son will invite you to a banquet next time." Jiang Qi said softly, with a sense of reassurance.
Another goose-faced girl covered her mouth with her sleeves and teased:
"The sisters in the courtyard last time had a banquet, and His Highness saved trouble, but it was a pity that a few sisters didn't have time to say a word to His Highness. This time, the concubine is not perfunctory by His Royal Highness, and it has to be one of the sisters present. ”
The other two couldn't wait to stay by Jiang Qi's side from time to time, and they were happy with such an arrangement at this time, and they also responded to it.
"You're getting more and more clever. This son should be next. Jiang Qi turned sideways and said.
The girl didn't know what she thought, and suddenly laughed, "The concubine's mouth is not smart, and His Highness naturally knows best." The other two understood, and laughed along.
For a moment, the pavilion was filled with laughter, as if it wanted to provoke the wood on which the pavilion was built to grow flowers.
"Now you can see your cleverness - I can't stop you when I have a meal." Jiang Huaiyang shook his head helplessly, and Ruan Yuyi, who was afraid of the side, minded, and felt that he had offended this spicy girl, so he turned his face to look at her.
I saw her hanging her head, her cheeks were condensed, and her nose was greasy with goose fat, which was extremely pleasing.
He looked at her with his head bowed slightly, so that he suddenly noticed that two strands of hair had spread between her ears, draped over her shoulders, adding to her a delicate and lovely touch that he had never seen before.
This is not the bun of the woman who left the pavilion.
Jiang Qi guessed that something had happened in her family, and he wondered in his heart, so after dismissing several girls, he talked to her frequently along the way, so that she would not think sadly.
The restaurant in his mouth is not far away, built along the stream, and it is time to walk a cup of tea.
This building is two floors high, there is a plaque on it, and the gold characters mentioned on the side are the name of the restaurant. Two willow trees were planted in front of the door, but now it was late autumn, and the slender leaves on the top were yellow, as if they were about to fall off at the slightest touch.
At this time, it is the time of dining, there are many people in the restaurant, and the business is also prosperous, but it will not be depressed by this willow tree.
Ruan Yuyi had never been in this place, and she didn't know where to go, so she followed Jiang Qi and left him a little behind, so that she would not be seen.
And Jiang Qi looked like a frequent visitor here, and when Fang stepped on the threshold, a guy greeted him. He bowed his waist slightly and smiled respectfully, "Your Highness is here, why haven't you been seen in the past few days?" ”
"Where can I have time to come here with my grandmother," he replied casually, "do you have a free seat here?" ”
For royal nobles like him, they only need to talk to the restaurant, and the person in charge will reserve a place for them to come out. Even if they don't come for a long time, they won't ask the people next to them to sit down.
Hearing this, the guy hurriedly flattered, "I'll keep it for you." He unconsciously glanced at the woman standing behind Jiang Qi, and before he could see her face clearly, he quickly lowered his eyes.
It is said that the prince of Yu Wang is romantic, and others see that there are different girls on his side. But if you are in contact with him from time to time like this guy, you know that the number of times he comes to the restaurant is actually more than that of Fengyue Tower, which is not far away.
"Don't lead His Highness over yet." The man did not dare to slack off, and raised his voice to another humane. It's not that he's lazy and unwilling to move, it's just that he's only responsible for receiving at the door, and further inside, it's none of his business.
If you really talk about it, serving these nobles in close proximity is the most oily and watery job. Generally, as long as you are smarter, you can easily get a tip, and if you are generous, you can get a small half a month's monthly payment.
Here, Jiang Qi and the others were led upstairs by another young man.
Walking through the table next to him, the girl who often accompanied him with wine gave him a charming look.
"Where is Your Highness going, but you want the slave family to accompany you?"
Jiang Qi waved his hand and said, "Today is accompanied by a beautiful woman." ”
Ruan Yuyi was not used to such noise, and only felt a buzzing in her ears. All kinds of silk and satin, gold and jade hairpins dangled in front of her eyes, and the sound of laughter and toasts were mixed together, making her feel that the scenery around her was not real, and her eyes were tight, so she lowered her head.
It wasn't until she entered the private seat and closed the door that she felt that most of the noisy voices had been cut off, and her ears were much clearer.
Look around again, say it is one, in fact, it can be counted as the size of two rooms, the middle is separated by a flower and bird screen, so it is divided into two rooms inside and outside, the one inside is connected with the window, sitting in front of a few, only slightly sideways, the people in the window below are full of people.
The outside room is connected to the door, because the window is wide open, the light of the day and the lights of the night, can come in from here, so from the outside you can see the shadow behind the screen, but no more can be seen.
Jiang Qi noticed her eyebrows that had just been released, and asked, "What's wrong with Yuyi?" ”
"There's no discomfort." She shook her head slightly. Xu was eager, making her feel that whether it was calling her by her name or her immediate concern, it was very natural.
Knowing that she was fine, Jiang Qi led her to sit down, and then a guy came in with a recipe. He didn't answer, but asked, "What about the person who was in charge of this room before?" ”
The fellow was stunned for a moment, realized that he was referring to the man who had served him in the past, and explained, "He has something to do at home, so he won't be here for the time being." ”
If it was usual, the man asked directly if it was still the same dish as before. Now that people are not there, he needs to click again, he has always disliked cumbersome.
However, Jiang Qi only asked, then took the recipe and looked at it, his face was as usual.
That relieved the boy. Although His Royal Highness has not learned the rules of the royal family, he is still small and easy to serve. If you change the nobles on the side, you may have to lose your temper.
