Chapter 271: Preparing for the Feast
The feast is over.
Lu Yangge took the carriage alone to Yiyuan.
She didn't even return to her house, for fear of being targeted by the grandmother sent from the palace.
The reason why Shen Zhengqing didn't sit in the same car with Lu Yangge was because she had to go back to pack her clothes, and she didn't know if she could rush to Yiyuan tonight.
On the way, Lu Yangge thought about what he saw today, and couldn't help but sigh.
It turns out that it is all a lie, but whenever you go to the banquet, there will be turmoil, what pushes people into the water, talking with guns and sticks, and so on.
But from her point of view today, a lady like Gongsun Wanying does have the style of a lady, no matter what she says or does, she is lively and lively, and she is demure and quiet, but there is no intrigue as she said.
Even if everyone is a little bit uneasy, they are also generous and do not hide it.
If I don't like it, try to avoid it, just don't talk together and don't eat together.
I really can't avoid it, and I can also tolerate it separately, and at most I will fight for priority in words.
As for the young ladies of the upstart family in the imperial court, they lack confidence, they are more cautious in speaking and doing things, and their confidence is slightly insufficient.
However, because of caution, everyone is barely harmonious.
As for choosing a daughter-in-law for King Qin, Lu Yangge's head hurts, and he doesn't know what King Qin will like.
Anyway, Liu Wanting is definitely not good like that, at first glance, it looks like a white lotus soaked in green tea.
When passing by Jixianglou, Lu Yangge beckoned Chunhua to stop, she got out of the car first and went to Jixianglou to greet the shopkeeper Li, and told him to go to Yiyuan to find her if he had something to do in the future, don't go to Lu Zhai, save yourself from finding the wrong place, and can't find anyone.
Hearing that Lu Yangge was going to live in Yiyuan, and the Shen family was also going over, Shopkeeper Li hurriedly instructed the guys to go to the back to prepare dishes and get pastries.
"There hasn't been a fire over there in Yiyuan, you bring some snacks and fruits first, and if your aunt and their whole family come over in the evening, you can let Chunhua come and say, I can prepare a banquet and send it over." If your aunt and uncle come tomorrow, you can also ask Chunhua to come and bring you something to eat. ”
Lu Yangge was not polite to Shopkeeper Li, and nodded in agreement.
When the young man went out, Shopkeeper Li whispered: "Do you know General Zhou?" ”
Lu Yangge raised his eyes: "Which Zhou Xiao General?" ”
"In the second room of the Marquis of Wu'an, General Lin's nephew Zhou Yang."
Lu Yangge's hand holding the teacup froze: "I know, today in the Zhenguo Mansion, I also had dinner with the two girls in the third room of the big room of the Wu'an Hou Mansion. ”
Listening to Lu Yangge, Shopkeeper Li was relieved: "General Zhou Xiao has been here for about a quarter of an hour, and now he is sitting in the Orchid Hall, saying that he asked you to go over, and he has something to look for you." ”
"Looking for me? How did he know I was coming to Jixianglou today? Lu Yangge couldn't figure out what Zhou Yang was looking for her to do.
Shopkeeper Li: "It's been three days in a row, probably today General Zhou Xiao also went to the Zhenguo Mansion, and when he came back, he came to wait again." ”
"Three days?" Lu Yangge turned the teacup in his hand and didn't get up, "Didn't he say what it was?"
"No, I just said that you came to let you go, and he has something to look for you."
Shopkeeper Li couldn't figure out what General Zhou Xiao was looking for Lu Xiaosi to do.
He and Xiao Si shouldn't know each other by reason!
"Something! Then let him wait a while. Lu Yangge took a shallow sip of the teacup and asked, "I ate flower cakes in the Zhenguo Mansion today, was it made by the dim sum master in the building?" ”
"It's made by the dim sum chef in the building, how does it taste?" Shopkeeper Li sat down opposite Lu Yangge and poured himself a cup of hot tea with a pot.
Lu Yange; "Yes, it's delicious, we only got a piece, and after eating, I feel that the aftertaste is endless, and I want to eat it."
"Do you want to eat now, tomorrow, the dim sum chef will go to the Zhenguo Mansion to help, and the dim sum served in the store in the past two days is not made by the master chef. Flower cakes have to be made by master chefs to taste good. Tomorrow, when the master comes, I will send it to Yiyuan when it is done. ”
Lu Yangge nodded: "Then send more tomorrow, in addition to my aunt and aunt coming to live in Yiyuan, I also want to send some to my aunt and King Qin to taste." ”
Last time, my aunt liked the egg yolk crisp very much, and this time I will send some flower cakes, I think my aunt will like it too.
Hearing that Lu Yangge was going to send snacks to the palace, Shopkeeper Li frowned slightly: "Do you want to send the recipe into the palace and let the people in the imperial dining room do it, we are ready to send it to the palace, in the end it is not very convenient." ”
"It's okay, it's just for my aunt, not for the emperor."
There was a noise outside the window, and Lu Yangge looked out, and saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes pointing at two people wearing the costumes of the Marquis of Wu'an.
"Dog, even you dare to stop me. Go and ask the evil obstacle, you can recognize me as an old man. ”
The two little guys were not annoyed by him pointing their noses and scolding, they only respectfully beat Gong, and called the second master in their mouths, but they blocked the door for half a step and did not back down.
Lu Yangge turned his head and asked the shopkeeper Li opposite: "Who is that person?" ”
Although the clothes look magnificent, the satin worn on the body looks like the material of previous years. The fancy looks are outdated, but they are worn very little, and they are extremely cherished, so they can still be so bright now.
Shopkeeper Li put down the teacup, got up and took a look: "That's the second master of the Marquis of Wu'an, and he is also the father of General Zhou Xiao." ”
"He's here to find General Zhou?"
"Probably." Shopkeeper Li retracted his head, sat back again, shook his head and sighed, "This Tuesday is good-looking, but it's a pity that ......"
In the latter words, Shopkeeper Li said it in front of Lu Yangge, a boudoir woman.
However, those bad things in the second room of the Marquis of Wu'an, the entire capital can be said to be known to everyone.
"I heard that the two children born to the princess of the previous dynasty have followed the second master. After Tuesday Ye was expelled from Wu'anhou's mansion, Wu'anhou left him a house, as well as many granges, and I heard that there were two shops. If he can live a good life, these will be enough for the three of them to be fed and clothed. But the second master and his two children grew up in fine clothes and jade food, how can they suffer. The grange was sold, and so was the shop. No, Zhou Ye knew that General Zhou Xiao had returned to Beijing and was looking for him everywhere, probably because he wanted to spend money. ”
"Shop?" Lu Yangge remembered the two shops that the third sister and the fourth girl of the shopkeeper Li's family wanted to open a store a few years ago, so coincidentally, the two shops were sold on Tuesday, and she just missed and bought two.
"Yes, the two I bought you years ago. It's a little smaller, but the location of the location is good, and you can get dozens of taels of silver if you rent out a room a year. Two rooms are more than 100 taels, which are enough for ordinary people to spend for several years, not to mention that there is a grange in the countryside! ”
Lu Yangge thought of the two small shops that were not in the same place, and couldn't help but chuckle.
This week, Yang is really ruthless enough to his father.
Just on Tuesday, the father and son, the rent of those two shops for a year is not enough for them to cut a few pieces.
There was a lot of noise downstairs, but there was no movement in the orchid hall next door.
Lu Yangge couldn't help but be curious about Zhou Yang, what was the matter with this little general who could strangle the princess of the former dynasty to death in front of his father?
