Chapter Seventy-One
Li Yu sensed her nervousness, reached out and wrapped his hand around her thin waist, gently hugged her from behind, and whispered softly to her: "I have to get up early tomorrow, don't think about it, go to sleep." ”
Shen Yining breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and rolled her eyes a few more times in her heart. Hmph, I'm sorry, who is foolish, isn't it you stinky men who are energetic and like these things more?
In the early morning of the next day, Li Yu personally woke her up.
The five of them packed their bags and got ready to go. For some reason, Li Yu also ordered several people to dress up in disguise. Kang Ming, Kang Tai and Yue Heng all pretended to be guards of rich and noble families. Li Yu is a wealthy style, pretending to be a gentleman of a rich family, and he also has a colorful peony embroidery pattern of the rhododendron red folding fan in his hand, which is a bit gaudy. Shen Yining put on light makeup, combed a double-ring bun, and turned into a cute little girl.
She finally saw Yue Heng, and only relieved her mind when she saw that he was fine.
Li Yu placed her in a delicate and neat carriage, which was already covered with thick bedding, and a small tea table and tea set were prepared next to it. I don't think I'm too tired even if I travel for days.
The three of them rode horses in front, the carriage fell behind, Yue Heng drove the carriage in front, and a group of five people set off in unison against the half-bright and half-dark morning glow.
After three days and three nights of hurrying, the group finally arrived at Rongzhou, the first capital of Jiannan Province, in the afternoon of the fourth day.
Rongzhou City.
Shen Yining lifted the curtain and looked out, this place was still prosperous, the traffic was busy, and there was an endless stream of businessmen and tourists, and it seemed that it was not affected by the turmoil in the southwest of Jiannan Road.
The group did not go to the official post in Rongzhou, but settled in an ordinary inn.
Of course, Shen Yining must live in the same room with Li Yu.
Li Yu saw her wilting head and leaning on the chaise longue boredly, he sat down on the side, rubbed her white wrist, and asked casually, "Do you want to go out for a walk?" ”
She sat up excitedly and pulled his silk wide sleeves slightly: "Wang, Shao, Young Master, is it okay?" ”
Li Yu smiled dotingly: "Yes, but you can't run around." He got up and walked outside, and whispered to Kang Ming Kangtai about the matter.
Shen Yining led Yue Heng out of the inn and decided to go to the market outside, at this time her steps were light and her heart was excited. The first thing is the most important thing, which is to buy the medicinal materials needed to make the Avoiding Pills. The second thing, eating well is also very important, I heard that there is a well-known Sichuan dim sum shop in Rongzhou, she has long been looking forward to it.
The two walked all the way to the south of the city, walked into a pharmacy, in order to prevent Li Yu from becoming suspicious, she bought a total of more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials, the beautiful name is because of the long journey, boredom and boredom, so she bought all kinds of medicinal materials to concentrate on pharmacology.
Out of the pharmacy, the two kept walking east, with more and more people, and the crowd was bustling, and they came to a lively long street. Turning a few more corners, they could see a long line in front of a shop in front of them. Shen Yining walked forward, raised his eyes and saw the big gold lacquer plaque of "Qi Fangzhai", and heard that it was inscribed by a retired prime minister himself. When she looked inside, she was even more surprised. It's not just a dim sum shop, it's a two-story exquisite teahouse. The small window in front of the shop is dedicated to selling snacks that are convenient for take-out, and you can sit and drink tea, eat snacks and listen to the drama in the shop.
Yue Heng has been protecting her, and finally got to the front, and the two finally got a number plate, which was a wooden number plate waiting for a seat. She was a little surprised, this shopkeeper's teahouse business is quite modern people's business thinking!
After waiting for almost half an hour, the shopkeeper's junior finally read their wooden number and warmly welcomed the two to the window on the second floor.
Shen Yining thought that he would only stay here for two or three days, and the pastries would be kept for a long time, so he could taste them slowly on the way. Therefore, she asked the store to pack one copy of each dim sum, and also ordered two or three dim sum and a pot of Emei bamboo leaf green separately.
When the shopkeeper came to the dim sum, she asked casually: "Xiao Langjun, can the shopkeeper of your teahouse be in the store?" ”
The shopkeeper is a simple little brother, and he replied with a smile: "If you go back to the lady, our shopkeeper is out today and is not in the store." The shopkeeper will be in the store on the first and fifteenth day of each month. The lady can come back then. ”
Shen Yining smiled, a little regretful that he couldn't see this shopkeeper with modern thinking and business acumen.
Refreshments were served. Two bowls of white jade cane sugar powder, a plate of sugar and oil fruits and a plate of leaf cake, as well as cakes such as flowering white cake, brown sugar cake, longan crisp and three-star rice candy wrapped in coarse pulp paper.
Baiyu sucrose jelly is a jelly made from rice milk, drizzled with sucrose syrup, plus wolfberry, red dates, purple rice and other ingredients of dessert syrup. One bite down, I only feel refreshing and cool, it is a good dessert to relieve heat and dryness. Sugar and oil fruits, with glutinous rice, brown sugar and sesame seeds as raw materials, fried glutinous rice dumplings the size of a baby's fist and then wrapped in black and white sesame seeds, brown-red sugar and oil fruits have a strong caramel fragrance, the skin is crispy, glutinous rice is soft and glutinous, and the white sesame fragrance is overflowing, and it is really full of color and flavor. Ye'er Ba, as the name suggests, is wrapped in leaves, steamed into soft glutinous cakes, the glutinous rice cakes here are wrapped in salty filling, the fragrance of the leaves is fresh, the glutinous rice dumplings are salty and refreshing, the two complement each other, it is a good product to relieve greasy.
Shen Yining ate pastries, and drank a few sips of fragrant and smooth, slightly astringent and greasy bamboo leaf green tea soup from time to time, and was satisfied.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", and everyone on the second floor of the teahouse hurriedly got up, looking panicked. Yue Heng hurriedly held the saber and protected her behind him. Shen Yining leaned forward towards the anxious gaze of the crowd, only to see a young woman slumped to the ground, her hands clenching her throat tightly, her face flushed, and her legs kicking the ground helplessly.
The little maid beside her knelt on the ground and cried anxiously: "Lady, lady, who can help my lady, my lady is the daughter of the festival envoy, there will be ......"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, and two people hurriedly ran down to the first floor of the teahouse to find Langzhong.
Shen Yining pushed aside the crowd and came to her, she squatted down and pressed her ears tightly to her chest, listening carefully to the echo of her chest, wheezing heavily, her breath was half-broken, and it did not reach her lower abdomen, which was obviously a symptom of breathlessness. She glanced at the dim sum on the table, and there was a three-star rice candy pastry. Most likely, the airways are blocked by peanuts.
Without hesitation, she ordered the maids on both sides to lift her upright.
She half-arches her left leg forward and pushes her right leg back. Maintaining this position, she carried her to sit on her arched thighs and leaned forward slightly. Then she stretched out her arms and stretched out her armpits to the left and right sides, and wrapped them around her. Her left hand was clenched into a fist, her right hand held her left wrist from the front, and her left fist was naturally attached to the bottom of the lady's chest.
