Chapter 215: A little bit of foolishness
Two little guys have two tempers, one is taciturn, and he is called Liang'an when he looks at it, and the other is called Liangcheng who laughs before he speaks, and his mouth is as sharp as a machine gun.
When he went out, Lin Xiaoman asked people to find two clothes for ordinary children.
After wearing it, I only felt that it was too gorgeous, only slightly worse than the ones that the emperor asked people to prepare.
Lin Xiaoman usually wears coarse linen clothes most of the time when he works, and clothes like this are rarely worn. When she first put on her body, she was still a little uncomfortable, especially the calluses left by the palms of her previous farm work, which were hooked wherever she touched them, so that she had no place to put her hands.
I don't know how many people will turn around when walking down the street like this.
Out of the back door of the county lord's mansion, the road in the back alley was very wide, but there were no people, and occasionally people passed by, and after just a hurried glance at them, they threw a good-natured smile.
If you meet someone dressed up, even if you haven't seen it, you will greet them from afar, and no one cares what they are wearing, and gradually, the sisters and brothers relaxed.
When she entered the city before, she was sitting in a carriage, and the world she could see was only as big as a window, and she heard that the county lord's mansion was not far from the palace, and she didn't feel much.
At this time, standing next to an ancient tree in the alley, I heard the little maid Liangcheng say: "County Lord, filial piety, this tree has a history of thousands of years, climb to the top of the tree, and you can see the little beast on the top of the Qianyuan Hall where the emperor deals with government affairs." ”
Although it is an exaggeration, it can be seen how close the county lord's mansion is to the palace.
The alley where the county lord's mansion is located is called Shizi Hutong, and in addition to the emperor's relatives and relatives, they are important ministers in the court, and the lowest ones are second-class officials. Officials like the third or fourth grade and below can only live in Quezhi Hutong further along, and even if they have money, they are not qualified to buy a house in Shizi Hutong.
After all, most of the houses in Shizi Hutong are given by the emperor, and only if the emperor sees who is pleasing to the eye, he will give a house here.
Lin Xiaoman glanced at the tree a few more times, and always felt that such a tree grew in the alley where high-ranking officials gathered, and he didn't know who was convenient to observe each household.
Liangcheng introduced the sisters and brothers to the neighbors around them and said: "County Lord, I'm afraid I don't know, the current County Lord's Mansion was originally the mansion of the Household Department Shangshu Fu Gaocai. Last year, Lord Fu was exiled by the emperor for making a big fuss on the Golden Palace, and there were not many people staring at this mansion, and no one thought that the emperor would give it to the county lord in the end. ”
What appeared in Lin Xiaoman's mind was an old man with gray hair and beard, but he always liked to stare at and argue with others.
Unlike other exiled officials who all went to Xu Qiuliang to teach, Old Man Fu was a very noisy old man, who did not like to sit in the courtyard and enjoy tea and flowers, but only liked to run to the field.
No matter how many people say that Lin Xiaoman's high-yielding rice seeds and high-yield grain varieties have increased after planting them last year, he must not believe it. Every time they met, she had to glare at Lin Xiaoman a few times, as if she was accusing her of not being deceived by the saint.
Tsk, they were all exiled, and they are still so loyal and patriotic, and the old man is a little stupid and loyal.
This year, Fu Gaocai took the Fu family who came from exile to open more than a dozen acres of wasteland, and he had to plant it himself, saying that he wanted to expose Lin Xiaoman's lies, watching him run into the field all day long, he was so tired that he screamed, and he didn't know what he was trying to do.
In the past, Lin Xiaoman only thought that he had a strange temper, but now that I think about it, I understand him a little, that is, a stubborn old man who does not accept it, and he has never figured out what the emperor likes to listen to, and how to speak so as not to make the emperor angry.
Hehe, I don't know if this year really grows high-yield grain, what the old man's reaction will be when he sees her again after being slapped in the face.
Thinking of the old man's staring eyes and jumping to his feet and scolding, Lin Xiaoman somewhat understood why the emperor wanted to exile him, and no one would like a stubborn old man who likes to point at his nose and scold when he has nothing to do, especially the emperor, it is considered a favor if he doesn't click.
But then again, if you don't like it, you can't dismiss him, why do you have to send it to Qingping County? She doesn't like this kind of old man who loves to jump and squirt when he doesn't say a word.
Alas, if the old man knows that his mansion belongs to him, how will he spray her?
There are few people in Shizi Hutong, and occasionally when I meet someone's sedan chair walking by, they all walk politely on the side, and people who don't recognize it will also nod their heads, and there is no rampant domineering on TV, or deliberately embarrassing things.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour out of Shizi Hutong, Liangcheng introduced the way, except for the neighbors, Lin Xiaoman didn't remember a few.
I only heard Liangcheng say that this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is the Taishi's Mansion, and that is the Wangfu...... Hearing this, her head was big for a while, and she prayed in her heart that she had to clamp her tail when she went out, so as not to offend anyone who should not be offended.
After all, she didn't know who was trying to kill them, maybe it was one of her neighbors.
The street outside Shizi Hutong is also quieter than the street when you first entered the capital, but the grade of the restaurant and teahouse next to it is not ordinary, and I don't know how it tastes, but it is expensive to look at.
Liangcheng said: "This street is called Zhengyang Street, which leads to the palace, and officials usually go to the court from here. In the morning, there will also be restaurants that set up stalls here to sell breakfast. Whenever the next dynasty is back, the restaurants and teahouses on both sides will be lively. ”
After speaking, he lowered his voice and said to the sisters and brothers: "The things inside are very expensive, almost several times the price outside, especially those two families who have people in the palace who are imperial cooks, and the cheapest dish costs one or two silver." ”
The sister and brother looked at the two restaurants he pointed to, and they really looked more magnificent than the others, and they really wanted to go in and taste the taste.
But apparently it is not yet the time of the next dynasty, and there are no guests in the restaurant and teahouse.
Lin Erhu said: "What is the taste of those two?" ”
Liangcheng shook his head helplessly, "How can a slave be blessed to go there to eat?" I heard that it was not bad, but it was still worse than the imperial meal. ”
Think about the imperial meal I ate last night, the ingredients are all good, but when it comes to deliciousness, it still can't compare to the deliciousness that has been combined with thousands of years of experience in later generations.
Well, I'm not looking forward to the food of those two restaurants anymore.
Just thinking about it, I heard someone mumble behind me, and when I turned around, I saw the two sisters standing there, and there were three richly dressed young ladies beside them.
Seeing Lin Xiaoman turn around, Cui Liangchen smiled and said, "It's really the county lord, isn't it a coincidence?" Liangchen greets the county lord. ”
Cui Meijing also followed Cui Liangchen to greet Lin Xiaoman.
Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Lin Xiaoman didn't like the Qian sisters and brothers, but when he went to Wuzhou Mansion before, the Cui Governor's Mansion entertained him well, and he had some feelings for him, so he didn't have any bad feelings towards the Cui family sisters.
Especially after hearing that they were pitiful in the hands of their stepmothers, I felt more sympathy for them.
At this time, seeing Cui Liangchen asking for peace for himself, he thought of some etiquette that he heard from the county lord's mansion last night, and knew that he didn't need to give her a return gift, so he bowed slightly, "No need to be polite." ”
