Yan Mingqiao seemed to know who the person who passed the exam three years ago was, but she was more curious about the people who were officials at a young age in the past, "Who are they?" ”

"In the previous dynasty, there was a prime minister surnamed Liu, who became an official at the age of eight." Gu Yan counted a few, and when he saw that Yan Mingqiao was listening seriously, he smiled, "But I'm fourteen, not as old as eight." ”

At the age of fourteen, he will be able to marry in two years.

Ming Qiao thinks this person is really powerful, but she is not bad, she has been in business since she was eight years old, and she earns a lot of silver every month.

It is estimated that this Prime Minister Liu is also a smart person, I don't know if I have read his articles.

The two were talking, and after a while the carriage stopped at the gate of Liuxiang Building.

Yan Mingqiao took Gu Yan's arm down again.

The Liuxiang building at night is better than the daytime, the inside is brightly lit, from the outside, the pale yellow light comes out of the window, the three-storey restaurant, the shadow of the window paper, you can see someone pushing the cup and changing the lamp inside, calling friends to attract guests.

The shops on the left and right are also very lively, and the people are buzzing.

Yan Mingqiao glanced at Gu Yan, "Then let's go in?" ”

Gu Yan said: "Well, if there is a dish you don't like, remember to tell me, this is the first time for me, I want you to be happy today." ”

Chapter 122: February

Yan Mingqiao would naturally say that she liked any dish, because she also wanted to make Gu Yan happy.

But she doesn't know if this is her favorite or not, but who she likes and is good to, not only to her unmarried husband, but also to her brothers at home.

Yan Mingqiao could faintly feel that Gu Yan was different from others, and his kindness was not the same as that of the eldest brother and the second brother.

Yan Mingqiao glanced at him and said, "Let's go and see first, how do you know if I like it or not?" ”

Gu Yan felt that the girl standing under the light was very delicate, and she felt that it was different from usual, and she looked good with a smile and a smile. It's just that he keeps staring at people and girls, which inevitably seems too abrupt.

He covered his lips and coughed, and said, "Let's go, let's go in, and we'll know when we go in." ”

After entering the Liuxiang Building, Gu Yan directly reported his name, and Xiao Er led them to the third floor.

Climb the stairs, the location on the third floor is the cleanest and elegant, the private rooms are on the left and right, and the window is a few good seats with a view of the street.

Gu Yanding's location is here.

There is a way to stand higher and look farther, and when you look down from the window, you can clearly see the jugglers below and the pedestrians passing by. When the stilt and lion dance procession passes by the street, they can also be seen on the third floor.

You don't have to go down there and squeeze to see it.

On both sides of the street are shops, and there are several long lines between them, and lights hang on the lines. Yan Mingqiao also saw the teahouse opposite, and Xiao Er at the door was soliciting guests.

She also frequented the teahouse, but she rarely came out at night, and the scenery here at night was different from the daytime.

I don't know what Gu Yan and Xiao Er said, Xiao Er smiled and retreated, and soon tea came up, Yan Mingqiao sniffed it, "This is Xinyang Maojian?" ”

Gu Yan smiled, "You, a little more novel, are not new in your eyes." ”

Yan Mingqiao said: "If you ask something else, I may not understand, but tea, I still understand." ”

She has been in the tea business for so many years, she has seen tea from all over the world, although she is not proficient in the tea ceremony, but she is still a treasure of tea, Chen Yuezhou will bring good tea back when she goes out, she wants to use different teas to make tea bags, drink too much, smell it and smell it.

Gu Yan: "It's not just that you understand, you haven't drunk it yet." ”

Yan Mingqiao remembered that there were no hair tips in Liuxianglou, most of them were Tieguanyin, Longjing and fruit tea, and it seemed that this hair tip was brought by Gu Yan himself.

Yan Mingqiao felt a little proud in his heart, "I also guessed randomly, who knows that I guessed correctly." ”

Quickly she took a sip and thought the tea was not bad.

Gu Yan said with a smile: "You see whether I believe it or not, if you understand, you understand, why do you say that it is a random guess, I am happy if you guess." ”

Yan Ming said in his heart, look at it, this is a leak, you have to guess him to be happy. Fortunately, when she asked what she ordered, she didn't guess, only rice.

Yan Mingqiao smiled, "Why don't you drink it?" ”

Gu Yan didn't check anything, he looked down at the teacup in front of him, the tea in front of him was still hot, he suddenly, oh, and quickly took a sip, "I forgot to drink it just now." ”

Yan Mingqiao lowered his head, he came up from the stairs just now, compared to the first and second floors, there were still fewer people on the third floor. However, she could also hear the laughter and laughter of the guests around her, and she was a little embarrassed, so the two sat like this for a while, and no one spoke. They are always like this, and they don't know what they say, so no one speaks.

Gu Yan looked at Yan Mingqiao and looked here, and then looked outside, and just as he wanted to speak, Xiao Er came up with the dishes.

Gu Yan pursed his lower lip, this is a total of four dishes, Yan Mingqiao's eyes now also fell on the dishes, a pagoda meat, a squirrel mandarin fish, a lychee meat, a steamed small green cabbage, the pale yellow of the soup around the small green cabbage, it is estimated that it is a soup stock.

The soup is fish maw chicken soup, four dishes and one soup, for two people, it is definitely enough.

Yan Mingqiao watched the four dishes be laid out and put two more bowls of rice on it, she asked Gu Yan, "Then we will eat?" ”

Gu Yan used chopsticks to sandwich a piece of meat for Yan Mingqiao, "Eat it quickly." ”

Yan Mingqiao eats in small bites, and when he and Yan Mingyu ate in Yumingxuan, he didn't care about anything, he ate in big gulps, and he would hold it with his hands.

It's not so easy to eat with Gu Mian, it's much more comfortable than this.

A small piece of meat, if Gu Yan is on the other side, Yan Mingqiao can eat it in three bites, and it is very slow.

Gu Yan was anxious, because in the academy, everyone ate quickly. He still remembers that on the sixth day of the new year, he stayed in the Yanguo Mansion to eat, and Ming Buckwheat was like this, eating in small bites, if he said that he didn't have to be restrained, just like in his own home, maybe Ming Buckwheat would take a smaller bite and wouldn't listen to him.

In short, eating is to fill your stomach, and you can eat as much as you want, as long as you are full.

But Gu Yan didn't eat enough, he would occasionally give Yan Ming buckwheat vegetables, and would hand a handkerchief to pour tea, he didn't eat much, as if watching Yan Ming buckwheat eat, his heart was happy, and he was full.

Eating it in such a small bite, it is also very beautiful, which makes Gu Yan think of silver catkins.

Yan Mingqiao also found out that every time she raised her head while eating, Gu Yan was either pouring tea or serving her vegetables.

"Eat quickly, don't patronize me. I eat very small, and I can't eat so much by myself. ”

She could not have eaten so much today.

Gu Yan smiled and said hello, Yan Mingqiao still exchanged gifts this time, and also sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Gu Yan.

This is the first time I came out, how can I order fish? This fish has spines in it, and she's a girl, so it's hard to take the spines out of her mouth.

It's all for Gu Yan to eat.

And Gu Yan probably noticed that when he gave Yan Ming buckwheat vegetables again, he avoided the fish, but he was also very happy, this Ming buckwheat was all served to him, how close the two were.

But he was very strange, why Mianmian clearly explained that buckwheat likes to eat the dish of squirrel mandarin fish, why don't you eat it now when you see it, it can't be because of too many spines.

After eating a few bites, Gu Yan found that there were indeed a lot of fish bones, this was the first time he had eaten with Ming Qiao, and it was not sightly to take the thorns out of his mouth, so he slowly stopped eating this dish.

Yan Mingqiao didn't eat much, but Gu Yan had a large amount of food, and the amount of food in Liuxianglou was not too large, and the two of them ate well, and there were not too many dishes left. After eating, the two watched the lion dance for a while, the lion dancer was vigorous, and the lion's head would blink! That's amazing!

After looking at it for a while, Yan Mingqiao had seen enough, and Gu Yan said in a timely manner: "Shall we go?" ”

went down the steps, and when she got to the second floor, Yan Mingqiao heard someone shouting her name, and when she looked back, it was Yan Mingyu, not Yan Mingyu's family.

Yan Mingyu and Chu Kan suspected Chu Zheng to come out for dinner together, because they always eat at home on weekdays, and they happened to come to see the Lantern Festival today, but they didn't expect to see their sister and Gu Yan.

Yan Mingqiao was stunned, she was happy at first, because she might not have seen Chu Zheng for a long time, and in previous years, she would see her in the New Year. And the older the two get, they don't talk much, so naturally they can't get along like they did when they were young. But the love of knowing each other since childhood, and how happy it is to be able to see the second sister here.

Yan Mingyu was quite surprised, she didn't expect to see her sister here, her sister and Gu Yan were ...... Traveling together?

Yan Mingqiao bowed, happy but also a little embarrassed, "I've seen the second sister, brother-in-law, and Xiao Shizi." ”

She said to Gu Yan: "My second sister, you have seen it, this is my second brother-in-law, and that one is Xiao Shizi." ”

Gu Yan saw that Yan Mingqiao's face was a little red, and his face was also hot, he shouted sister, brother-in-law, and arched his hand to Chu Zheng, which can be regarded as a courtesy.

Ming Qiao shouted Xiao Shizi, so naturally he couldn't shout anything else.

Chu Zheng looked at the two and smiled, and his father said, Ming Qiao is married, this is true.

It's just that he is not in Shengjing, and he has only heard of Gu Yan. Although it is said that Ming Buck is his aunt, he is a few years older than Ming Buck, and in his heart, she is his sister.

Ming Qiao is married, it's good, wait for him to hunt some good skins, and give Ming Qiao as a dowry.

Yan Mingqiao didn't expect to meet acquaintances when she went out, and it was nothing, but when she saw her second sister looking at her with a smile, she felt embarrassed.

Yan Mingyu said: "Where are you going, why don't we go together?" ”

Yan Mingqiao: "Sister! We're not on the way. ”

Yan Mingyu smiled, "Okay, okay, you guys go quickly, let's take a look at the Lantern Festival here, and we'll go back to the house in a while, you should go back early, Gu Gongzi will send my sister back." ”

Gu Yan arched his hand and said, "Sister, please rest assured, this is natural." ”

After saying goodbye, the two went down from Liuxiang Building, Yan Mingqiao breathed a sigh of relief, she glanced at Gu Yan, and said: "Several sisters in the family, I am the closest to the second sister, before the second sister got married, I often went to the second sister's yard to eat. You don't know what to eat, but it's a novelty and delicious, and you've never seen it before! When I have a chance in the future, I will let you taste it. ”

Gu Yan nodded, "The last time we met, the second sister also came, and I will taste all the food when I have the chance." ”

Yan Mingqiao: "Let's talk about it in the future, you should also know that it was because the second sister once fell into the water and was not in good health that my mother carried me to the main courtyard." Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am now. ”

Yan Mingqiao smiled, she sometimes thinks that if the second sister was fine, she didn't go to the main courtyard, and she didn't know what kind of life she was living now.

The mother is very good, and so is the second sister, so she will not embarrass her, but without the protection of the little mother, she is not as good as others.

Gu Yan nodded, "Mother told me, but everyone likes you, and it must be your person." Look at the second sister, even if she is married, if she meets outside, she will beat me up. ”

There is also the Hou of Zhenbei next to it, and it is very majestic to stop there.

Yan Mingqiao smiled, "Where is this beating you, you should have sent me back." ”

Gu Yan: "Yes, yes, but the second sister said that she wants to go back, let's take a look at the Lantern Festival and send you back." ”

They ate for a long time, and they also watched the lion dance on the top, so they had less time to watch the lantern festival.

Yan Mingqiao didn't want to go back, but she didn't want her mother to worry about her, "Do you remember when you guessed the lantern riddle, I wanted a small rabbit lamp, just a small one." ”

Yan Mingqiao was shorter than Gu Yan, and when she raised her eyes to look at people, her expression was very smart. Not to mention the rabbit lantern, it is the biggest lantern, and Gu Yan can also get it.

Gu Yanzhen wanted to guess the lantern riddle, no one could guess him, but what Yan Mingqiao wanted was a rabbit lamp, so he guessed a few, and after taking the rabbit lamp, he didn't guess anymore.

Both of them still remember that they saw the person with the biggest lantern blocked at the entrance of the alley, and the two reported to the official.

The rabbit lamp is small, round, and not quite like the silver cat, but it is also very cute.

Yan Mingqiao was holding the lamp in her hand, and it was time for her to go back.

Gu Yan said: "There are fireworks and Kong Ming lanterns in the car, do you want to put them off?" By the way, the ice in the moat hasn't melted yet, so you can't put lotus lanterns. ”

Yan Mingqiao blinked, "Go and put the Kong Ming lantern, I hope you will pass the exam, and at the beginning of next month, Mianmian and I will go to the Vientiane Temple to pray for incense." ”

Gu Yan: "Well, if you pass the exam, I will go with you to repay my vows." ”

"The wish I made with Mianmian is naturally for me and Mianmian to return, what are you going to do. By the way, when you go back later, you'll have to bring some food for Mianmian. Yan Mingqiao thought about it, and there shouldn't be anything missing.
