20. Catch fast run

An Chuxia grabbed Gu Fangmiao, who was leaving, "Wait a minute, Brother Runsong, who was on an errand in the Yamen, said that we would go back after eating." ”

"Oh!"

It didn't take long for Runsong to change shifts with his companions and walk up to them.

"It's you!" Gu Fangmiao looked at the visitor in surprise.

Runsong gently rubbed his big hand, as if the soft and glutinous feeling just now was still in the palm of his hand.

An Chuxia stood aside and looked at the two leisurely, not knowing when they met.

Runsong raised his hand, put it to his mouth and coughed lightly, "Let's go!" I'll take you to Yun Keju Restaurant for dinner! ”

"Cloud Guest! It is the largest restaurant in Lushan County, and I heard that the osmanthus fish, eight-treasure duck, and many signature dishes are delicious.

I've only heard my grandfather and his classmates come here for dinner and go back. ”

Gu Fangmiao thought of something, and put away the look of a little gluttonous cat on her face again, "I heard that the food there is so expensive~"

Runsong looked at the little girl in front of him with such a cute appearance, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"Let's go! Let's go to Yun Keju for dinner! ”

An Chuxia and they came to the tea shed on the side of the street and saw An Jinchen and Runsheng already under a big tree next to the tea shed.

It should be that after a long time, the two of them are not good at occupying the position, so they walked out of the tea shed and sat there.

"Brother! Brother Runsheng! ”

An Jinchen and Runsheng, who were chatting, turned their heads and saw them, stood up and patted the dust on their bodies and walked over.

"Big brother?"

"Brother Runsong!"

"Why did you come here together?!"

"Stinky boy! When you came to the county seat, you didn't look for me, if you hadn't met Xiao Xia at the door of the office, I wouldn't have known you were here. ”

Runsong's face no longer had the softness that he tried to relax when facing the two little girls, and he stared at his own brother and his younger brother who grew up in the same village.

Runsheng shrunk his neck, and An Jinchen's handsome face was smiling, "Today is to send Xia Xia and Miss Gu to hold their names, and it's nothing, so I didn't bother Brother Runsong!" ”

After finishing speaking, An Jinchen touched his nose a little nervously, they were most afraid of this brother who not only protected them but was not good at words and had a serious face since they were children.

Runsong snorted lightly, not saying anything.

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner!"

An Jinchen and Runsheng glanced at each other, led the ox cart, and obediently followed behind.

A few people came to the Yunkeju Restaurant, and the shopkeeper inside obviously knew Runsong, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Er to pull the ox cart to the backyard to feed the food, and ordered someone to take them to the private room on the second floor.

It is worthy of being the best restaurant in Lushan County, the private room is clean and elegant, and there are a few pots of flowers and plants in it that naturally exude fragrance.

An Chuxia knew that the food here was not cheap, so they only ordered a few vegetarian dishes at random.

Just ordered Gu Fangmiao, who has always loved to eat, and only ordered a hibiscus tofu.

Runsong saw the dishes they ordered and knew that they wanted to save money for themselves, so he took the menu and ordered the few signature dishes that Gu Fangmiao had just mentioned.

What osmanthus fish, eight-treasure duck......

During the time when the food was served, Runsheng still couldn't help but ask his brother why the shopkeeper was so polite to him just now.

Runsong's resolute face relaxed and showed a smile, "No matter how big his restaurant is, he will occasionally encounter trouble, and at this time, he needs to be dealt with by the yamen."

And we are often on duty on the street, and we basically know all the three laughs and nine streams on the street.

This is the shrewdness of a businessman!

Build a good relationship with us, they don't suffer! ”

"Oh! So that's it! Only then did everyone understand why the shopkeeper greeted them with a smile.

After the dishes came up, everyone ate with relish, but An Chuxia, who had eaten real food, only felt average.

The fishy smell of the fish has not been completely removed, and the taste of the eight-treasure duck is also a little woody.

An Chuxia sighed secretly, if it weren't for An Jinchen's brother's insistence on letting her take the imperial examination.

Cooking some food or opening a small restaurant or restaurant in this world by yourself may be able to live a leisurely life.

The premise is that in ancient times, when the law was not perfect, she did not meet powerful people who discriminated against the food recipes she made.

If you do, let alone live a leisurely life, it's hard to say whether you can live freely.

It is precisely because of this understanding that An Chuxia will finally choose to take the imperial examination according to An Jinchen's wishes.

After finishing the meal, they said goodbye to Runsong in early summer and wanted to go back to Qingshi Town, after all, it takes about two hours from the county seat to the town.

Runsong sent them to the street corner and instructed his younger brother Runsheng: "If you take Ah Chen's high salary, you must work hard for him, if I hear that you are lazy, see how I pick you up when I go back!" ”

Runsheng's eyes dodged, and he nodded heavily, "Big brother, I know." ”

He has been afraid of this brother since he was a child.

Runsong went to be a soldier for a few years and killed people on the battlefield, and when he came back, the sharpness on his body became heavier, and Runsheng was even more afraid of him, the eldest brother.

An Jinchen saw that it was not too early to go back, so he said to Runsong: "Brother Runsong, let's go." ”

Runsong glanced at Gu Fangmiao silently with deep eyes, and waved his hand to them, "Let's go, if you don't go back, it will be too late." ”

An Chuxia saw Runsong peeking at Gu Fangmiao, and there was a hint of realization in her eyes.

When I turned around and saw Gu Fangmiao, who had begun to be confused after eating unconsciously enough, I didn't feel a burst of amusement.

Brother Runsong looked like a man with a plan, and with his own foodie little junior sister, An Chuxia shook his head.

I'm afraid that the teachers won't look down on Brother Runsheng as a headcatcher.

The ox cart slowly drove out of the county seat, and Runsong stood there watching them leave, until the ox cart turned and could no longer be seen, and then walked towards the yamen.

Gu Fangmiao, who had a lunch break habit on the ox cart, had already leaned on An Chuxia, closed her eyes and took a nap.

It was still very cold in January, An Jinchen picked up the thin quilt he brought from the ox cart and handed it to An Chuxia, "You two wrap it up quickly, don't freeze." ”

An Chuxia took the thin quilt and wrapped herself and Gu Fangmiao, who was leaning on her body.

An Jinchen moved behind her sister and asked her to lean on her back as well, so that the road would be more comfortable.

An Chuxia pulled out some of the corners of the quilt and covered An Jinchen's legs, lest his legs freeze after being coiled in the car for a long time.

Runsheng in front of him had already put on the big cotton jacket specially used to drive the car, and he was wearing a pair of cotton gloves made for them in the early summer.

An Chuxia could think of making gloves because last winter she found An Jinchen and Runsheng selling braised meat at the dock, where the humidity was strong, the wind by the water was cold, and both of them had frostbite on their hands.

The sun in the afternoon is not as warm as in the morning, and the gentle breeze hurts people's faces.

An Chuxia shrank her face into the thin quilt, and Gu Fangmiao's whole person was already shrunk in her arms.

Because today is the day of the county trial registration, there are quite a lot of horse-drawn carts and ox carts on the way back.

An Chuxia sat on the ox cart and looked at the scenery on the road casually, when he heard a contemptuous cold snort from a carriage passing by the ox cart.

She subconsciously looked up and met Dong Linlin's mocking eyes from the carriage window.
