Chapter 022: Hotel
I see.
The old lady frowned and said, "Grandmother asks you again, are you sincere?" ”
Regarding Xie Mian's dreaming, the old lady is not a superstitious person, she doesn't believe it.
However, Xie Mian is still young, so the old lady knows in her heart that this dream still has an impact on Xie Mian.
Xie Mian lowered his head and said, "Grandmother, Mian'er is sincere." ”
When she said this, Xie Mian suddenly felt a burning gaze around her, but because she was discussing with the old lady at this time, she didn't raise her head.
Outside the window, the eaves of the eaves scattered, stirring up the icy air in the air.
Wei Ran only felt that his heart was beating fast, and he had been silently reciting the word "sincerity" in his heart, and as he read it, the back of his ears was already crimson.
"If you treat me sincerely, I will treat me with sincerity."
Inside the house, the old lady stared at Xie Mian with a scrutinizing gaze for a long time, Xie Mian lowered her head, and only heard a heavy sigh, "Mian'er, grandmother knows." You go back to the yard with Agarwood today to rest and clean the house, and your grandmother will worry about it. ”
The old lady has spoken, if she refuses, it will be uninteresting, "If the granddaughter retires, it will trouble the grandmother." ”
Xie Zhi hesitated: "But Xiao Zhi ......"
The old lady raised her eyebrows, "But what?" ”
Xie Zhi's body trembled when he was said, "Grandmother, Xiao Zhi is fine." ”
The old lady immediately stretched her brows and said secretly: "You are not in good health, do you want to drink more ginger soup?" ”
I don't know what's wrong with my grandmother today, the words she said are so beautiful that it hurts his heart.
You must know that what he is most afraid of drinking is ginger soup and medicinal juice.
Xie Zhi immediately shut up stupidly.
But when Xie Mian left, the old lady seemed to tell Xie Zhi a few words, and then left with him.
Leaving Xie Zhi alone in the messy wind, he knew that the boy was in this mansion, and he had paid by mistake after all.
Xie Mian was very worried when he returned home, but when he came to the side courtyard with Agarwood, he found that it had already been cleaned.
"Isn't my grandmother trying to find a way to fool me away?" Xie Mian muttered to himself.
Agarwood didn't speak on the side, after all, this was not something she should guess.
So after thinking about it, Agarwood left through the back door with interest, leaving Xie Mian alone in the same place.
Wei Ran saw Agarwood leave outside the window, and immediately jumped down from the eaves and came in through the window.
Xie Mian was thinking about things blankly, when he saw a black shadow coming from far and near in front of him, and his pupils constricted.
"Do you really want me in?" Wei Ran stared at her closely, as if he was curious about how Xie Mian would answer next.
Xie Mian was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak for a moment, only dared to nod weakly.
Wei Ran raised his hand and picked up Xie Mian's chin, "Speak." ”
It's kind of coercive.
Xie Mian knew Wei Ran's uncertain personality, looked at him in a daze, and said slowly, "Yes." ”
Some words are extremely counterproductive, so Xie Mian didn't dare to say too much.
But Wei Ran, who got the answer, was already very satisfied, and he said, "Do you want to come to the side courtyard where I usually live tonight?" ”
Xie Mianding will not refuse, "Okay." ”
It seems that she can't say it well, because the young man's gaze at her is too hot, so that Xie Mian can't bear it.
Wei Ran couldn't stop the surprise in his heart, "I'll come back to you in the evening." ”
"Hmm." Xie Mian agreed.
Wei Ran opened the window again and left. Xie Mian was a little curious about what their ancient people's light skills were, so he walked to the window to look, but Wei Ran's figure had long since disappeared.
Xie Mian couldn't help but sigh: "It's really strange." ”
Xie Mian quickly returned to the room.
At this time, Lu Jinnian and Gu Hongyu also got up and were practicing swords in the courtyard, and by accident, Lu Jinnian found that Gu Hongyu's sword speed had become sluggish, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Lu Jinnian took advantage of this time to sneak attack Gu Hongyu, but the latter still did not react.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Hongyu's eyes were dark, "I dreamed of something I shouldn't have dreamed of last night." ”
"I see." Lu Jinnian frowned.
Gu Hongyu still couldn't believe that he would dream of such a dream.
In the dream, Xie Mansion was full of blood, the Praetorian Guards stepped through the threshold of Xie Mansion, and more than 100 members of the whole family were all driven and killed.
Among them, a young girl curled up on the ground with a pale face, the young man's cold side face was stained with blood, his eyes looked coldly at the woman on the ground, and the sword in his hand roared out.
The sky was overcast, it was raining heavily, and lightning was running wildly above the clouds, accompanied by the sound of the wind.
It was the flash of light that appeared that illuminated the man's face clearly, and Gu Hongyu saw it, this person was Wei Ran.
He...... Why did he kill their entire family, and looking at his gaze, Gu Hongyu was basically sure that it was not only them who became the souls of Wei Ran's sword at that time, but also countless people.
He is just a down-and-out son in their house, won't he fly on the branches and become a phoenix in the future?
Thinking of this, Gu Hongyu shuddered.
Lu Jinnian said again: "What did you dream about, tell your eldest brother." ”
Gu Hongyu thought for a while and shook his head, "Hongyu will tell the eldest brother in the future, it is unlucky to say it like this now." ”
Lu Jinnian was naturally not a person who forced him, and seeing that he was unwilling, he had no choice but to nod and say, "It's okay." ”
"You can practice martial arts, we came here yesterday just to visit my little sister, and now my little sister is healthy, can you go back?"
Gu Hongyu agreed: "That's natural, I have to go back to the academy to study in a few days." ”
"The second brother also has plans to gain fame?" Lu Jinnian asked.
Gu Hongyu said: "It's not to get famous, it's just that I don't want to disappoint my mother." ”
Then he asked, "Big brother, what about you?" ”
Lu Jinnian calculated his plan: "I want to gain fame and be a good official." ”
"Then Hongyu wished the eldest brother's dream to come true and realize it as soon as possible."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then walked to Xie Zhimian's courtyard at the same time.
When the two came, they found that the brother-in-law had already gone to the early dynasty, and I was afraid that it would take a long time for him to come back.
After thinking about it, the two went to their grandmother's house.
Lu Jinnian raised his hand and said: "Grandmother is fine, yesterday I was concerned about my little sister's body, I forgot to say hello to my grandmother, and I hope my grandmother will understand." ”
Gu Hongyu followed: "I hope my grandmother understands." ”
Grandmother is embroidering by the stove at the moment, her eyes are slightly narrowed, and she hissed, "Look at Grandmother's old eyes are dizzy, and now she can't do embroidery." ”
Lu Jinnian stepped forward and said, "Grandmother is old, why don't you let others do these little things." ”
The old lady was happy, "Some things are too troublesome to others, and they will forget what things themselves are, and then they will rely on others." Although others won't say anything, they may have scolded you all over again, so some things are not as easy and comfortable as relying on yourself. ”
Gu Hongyu was stunned when he heard this, "What grandmother said is very true, it's just ......"
Lu Jinnian pushed Gu Hongyu with his left elbow and motioned him not to continue.
"Grandmother, grandson and second brother understood, and retired first."
The old lady had lowered her head and continued to fiddle with her embroidery, "Stand down." ”
On the way out of the house, Gu Hongyu looked confused, "Big brother, why didn't you let me finish my words just now?" ”
Lu Jinnian knocked him on the head, "Just now, my grandmother was reminding us, telling us not to be polite, and to prepare well for the imperial examination, fool." ”
"Oh, I see."
Gu Hongyu touched his head.
At this time, it was still early, Xie Mian had not been out of the house since he came here, and the time agreed with Wei Ran had not yet arrived, so he took agarwood and disguised himself as a man and swaggered out of the house.
Originally, there were still small servants at the door to block them, but after Xie Mian said something threatening, those little girls let Xie Mian out.
Agarwood followed behind, with a look of novelty, "Miss, let's leave the house like this!" ”
The state of Chu has an open atmosphere, and women can usually show their heads, but they can't behave too presumptuously outside.
In the original book, Xie Mian's character is arrogant and domineering, and almost no one in the mansion can stop her.
But there are also many bad people in the outside world, so Xie Mian deliberately disguised himself as a man to go out, and in order to be more realistic, he also pulled agarwood and wore a fake mustache together.
Xie Mian's purpose for this trip is very simple, that is, to go to this famous restaurant in Kyoto, and by the way, to see if the craftsmanship of the ancients can be compared with her modern cooking skills, so that she can have a point in her heart and whether the restaurant here can improve.
"Agarwood, do you know any delicious restaurants in Kyoto?"
Agarwood replied, "There are two famous restaurants in Kyoto, one is called Qipinju and the other is called Yisutang, both of which are ancient restaurants left over from the pre-Wei Dynasty, so both of them have a unique taste in terms of rice and dishes. ”
Seeing that her face was a little hesitant, Xie Mian frowned, "What's the matter, you continue." ”
Agarwood shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that in recent years, there has been a dispute between Qipinju and Yisutang, accusing each other of shamelessly stealing their own ancestral secret recipes, this matter is very troublesome, and even today's saints have personally come forward to send people to investigate, miss, guess what happened in the end?" ”
Xie Mian shook his head, "I don't know." ”
Agarwood also said with a look of surprise: "In the end, the saint sent someone to investigate, saying that it was Qipinju who made the bombing and planting the spy in Yisu Hall, I heard that this evidence is conclusive, and Qipinju has also suffered a great injury through this incident, and since then it has been snubbed in front of the door and no one has patronized." Later, the food they made was not very good, and I heard that Yisutang had recently found someone to crack down on the boss of Qipinju, which made him fall into a heart disease. “
After hearing this, Xie Mian thought thoughtfully, "You take me to the Qipinju and Yisutang to order a few dishes to try." ”
Agarwood was also a little hungry, "It's true that I haven't eaten that meal for a long time." ”
Xie Mian followed Agarwood on the road, and was also attracted by the lively scene of Kyoto for a moment, I have to say that the atmosphere of Da Chu is really open, and you can meet many exotic people and people in all kinds of clothes along the way.
Soon, Agarwood took Xie Mian to a place and walked in.
There is a plaque on it - a corn hall.
