Chapter 456: The Elder of Ju'an Pavilion
After the group of people crossed the middle road in the county, Yin Qing ordered all the people to get off the horse and get off the car, let some people take care of the carriage and horses in an inn, and then walked to Tianniufang with the remaining necessary entourage.
Not long after leaving, both the guards and the attendants in the team began to look left and right inexplicably or look at each other, even Princess Changping had a different face, and she asked when she saw that Yin Qing did not have any special expression.
"Official, have you smelled it, it looks like incense, this fragrance smells so good......"
Yin Qing smiled and looked in the direction of Tianniufang from afar.
"Ping'er, that's what I told you, the jujube flowers of Ju'an Xiaoge, this tree does not bloom every year, but once it blooms, it will be fragrant in Ning'an County, there is a sentence in my father's article: 'Green and yellow branches, half of the county smells the fragrance of flowers', which comes from here. ”
On the streets and alleys outside Tianniufang, Sun Ji's noodle stall is open as usual, naturally not on the edge of the stall, even if he doesn't go to school, he is practicing calligraphy in Ji Yuan.
Yin Qing came over with Princess Changping from afar, and some of the plainclothes guards on the side were far ahead, and some were on the left and right, but they were basically in the position of not disturbing the two of them as much as possible, even so, there were still four maids and attendants accompanying behind them.
This is still very conspicuous for the villagers in Ning'an County, not to mention Sun Fu, who has always been doing business and knows how to observe words and feelings, seeing this battle from afar, he knew that there was a lot of promising, so he hurriedly told the four or five diners on the stall.
"Hey, you guys, eat noodles and eat noodles, don't keep staring at the people over there, especially don't stare at the female dependents, you know?"
"Huh, old man Sun, do you know them?"
A chubby young diner looked up into the distance and asked Sun Fu.
Although the life in Ning'an County is not bad, ordinary people still rarely get fat, even if they don't starve, they still have to work, and this diner is an exception, plus he is a frequent customer of the stall, Sun Fu is also deeply impressed by him, so he has a special explanation.
"You people, you don't know much of the world, you don't know the sinister outside, although I don't know the people over there, but like their battle, they must be high-ranking officials and nobles, you dare to stare at other people's daughters casually, and if you meet a bad temper, your eyeballs will be gouged out!"
"Oh, it's so serious?"
Sun Fu nodded.
"Of course, if you have a measured eye, you can look at it, but those women from powerful families, all of them are smart, I'm afraid you guys won't be able to stop your gaze. ”
Sun Fu deliberately said something serious, so as not to make a mess in his stall.
"Got it, got it!" "Uh-huh, hurry up and eat noodles." ”
After chatting a few words here, seeing that Yin Qing and the others were approaching, the stall owners and diners stopped talking about the affairs of outsiders, and the topic also turned to some trivial things in life.
However, when Yin Qing and the others got closer, they did not pass by directly, but slowed down outside the stall, and Yin Qing even bowed to Sun Fu.
"Uncle Sun, I'm glad to see that your noodle stall is still here. ”
Of course, Yin Qing knew that the stall owner had already changed, and the current stall owner was Sun Fu, the son of the old man Sun, but Sun Fu didn't recognize Yin Qing anymore.
Sun Fu wiped his hands on the apron and hurriedly returned the salute.
"I don't know who you are?"
"Oh, I'm Yin Qing, the son of Master Yin, the county school. ”
As soon as he said this, Sun Fu immediately knew.
"Oh oh, you are, you are the son of Yin Wenqu, and I heard that you are also a senior official in the court?"
"Hehe, Uncle Sun has won the award, by the way, Mr. Ji is at home, right?"
Sun Fu hurriedly said.
"Yes, yes. ”
"Okay, you're busy. ”
"Oops!"
Yin Qing turned around and walked towards the gate of Tianniufang not far away, and Princess Changping also smiled at Sun Fu and nodded, and then left with Yin Qing.
As soon as they left, the diners who had been silent in the stall hurriedly asked Sun Fu about Yin Qing, and some people hurriedly settled the bill and left, going to tell acquaintances that Yin Wenqu's son was back, and Sun Fu slapped his thigh while chatting, realizing that Sun Yaya was still in Ju'an Xiaoge.
Walking in the quiet alley of Tianniufang, Yin Qing felt the same as when he was a child, almost no change, but when the residents saw this battle, most of them avoided it from afar, although Yin Qing intended to say hello, but he didn't want to frighten others, so they went.
When approaching Ju'an Xiaoge, Yin Qing turned around and told his entourage.
"After a while, everyone else stayed outside, and I, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the two chief guards went in. ”
"Yes!"
The subordinates in the back responded together.
In fact, Yin Qing didn't even want to bring the two chief guards, but there was no way, giving this kind of order would make it difficult for the two of them, although they knew that this trip was safe, but they were on the orders of the emperor, and they must protect Princess Changping, and the bottom line of supporting the guards and entourage was that the two of them must be.
Far away to the Ju'an Pavilion, the canopy-like jujube tree has come into view, and the fragrance of flowers seems to have become more intense.
Soon the other subordinates stopped, and the four of them were independent of the small pavilion door, and almost everyone looked up at the plaque of the small pavilion.
"What a good word! Sure enough, it is not inferior to Yin Xiang's words!"
Princess Changping complimented, but Yin Qing felt that although her father's handwriting was also very good, it was still a little worse than Mr. Ji's.
When a guard was about to knock on the door, Yin Qing raised his hand to stop him, and then he stepped forward and gently knocked on the door of the small pavilion.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Mr. Ji, it's me, Yin Qing!"
There was a sound of broken footsteps coming from the courtyard, followed by the sound of a wooden pin twitching the door.
"Squeak~"
The courtyard door opened, revealing a little girl wearing a small scholar's white robe, looking at Yin Qing and Princess Changping with curiosity.
"Qing'er is here, come in. ”
"Sir told you to go in!"
Sun Yaya said a word, got out of the way, and Yin Qing and Princess Changping entered the small pavilion courtyard with the two chief guards, except for Yin Qing, the other three were observing the situation of Ji Yuan and Ju'an Xiaoge.
The courtyard is very clean, the furnishings are also very simple, a well is covered with stone slabs, a stone table and four stone benches, and the big jujube tree that makes Banxian fragrant, and Ji Yuan is sitting behind the stone table, and he is standing up to greet everyone at this moment.
"Caomin Ji Yuan, I have seen Her Royal Highness Princess Changping!"
Ji Yuan bowed to Princess Changping, and also glanced at Sun Yaya, who had returned to his side, who immediately reacted and did the same.
"Sun Yaya, the daughter of the people, has seen Her Royal Highness Princess Changping!"
"Mr. doesn't have to be polite, and you, don't be polite, I'm a patroller to send invitations to the elders, and the juniors come to the door, don't bother Yang Ping, sir." ”
Ji Yuan nodded, put away the gift, and beckoned a few people to sit down.
"Sit down, I'll make you tea. ”
Seeing that Yin Qing wanted to speak, Ji Yuan raised his head to stop him, and pointed to the stone table.
"Qing'er, take the princess to sit down over there, according to the customs of Ning'an County, the newcomer comes to the door for the first time, and the elders want to make sugar tea, this can't be saved, I'll prepare it for you." ”
The newcomers came to the door hand in hand and drank the sugar tea made by the elders together, which meant sweet and sweet, Ji Yuan said so, and Yin Qing was not easy to refuse.
When Ji Yuan came out with the tea tray, there were already four tea cups and a teapot on it, as well as a small clay pot.
Ji Yuan took matters into his own hands and poured hot tea for Yin Qing and Princess Changping, then opened the small clay pot and scooped some crystal clear particles into the teacup with a small wooden spoon on the side.
Strange to say, in the Ju'an Pavilion surrounded by the fragrance of jujube flowers, as soon as Ji Yuan opened the clay pot, a special sweet fragrance wafted out of it, just smelling it, it made the four of them feel comfortable.
"Please!"
Ji Yuan put the teacup in front of Yin Qing and Princess Changping, then poured two more cups and handed them to the two guards.
"If you're not a newcomer, you won't drink sugar tea. ”
The two guards also had good eyesight, and hurriedly thanked them and took the teacup.
"Thank you, sir!"
Of course, Yin Qing knew that this sugar tea was definitely not simple, nodded towards Yang Ping, and took the lead in raising a glass to taste, taking a sip of sugar water into his throat, not to mention the sweet aftertaste, and a fresh breath with the heat flow blended into the limbs.
Princess Changping's eyes widened when she tasted it, and then she became a crescent moon because of the sweet taste, and she drank all the sugar water in one gulp before she knew it.
"Official, this sugar tea in Ning'an County is so delicious, it is more than enough to be selected as a tribute to the imperial front!"
Looking at Yang Ping's unfinished appearance, Yin Qing handed her the cup that she had only taken a sip.
"This sugar tea is not available everywhere, and there is no amount of tribute, na, mine is for you!"
Yang Ping was smart, looked at Ji Yuan and looked at the tea set and the "sugar pot" on the table, she just said this, but Ji Yuan didn't pour her another cup, and she already understood something.
I wanted to excuse myself, but under Yin Qing's gentle eyes and nostalgia for the sugar water, Yang Ping still took the teacup, and this time she tasted it carefully several times, and after tasting the exact taste, she gave the remaining half cup to Yin Qing.
"Hehehehe...... I am relieved to see you so loving!"
Ji Yuan smiled and sat down on the stone bench opposite, anyway, the two guards stood on the left and the right and didn't want to sit.
Yang Ping looked at the side of the stone table, there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and some of the paper was written on it, but most of them were the same words written many times, although they were not written, but the words were very smart and delicate.
"This is Mr. Ji's word?"
Yang Ping asked, and Sun Yaya, who was starving at the sugar jar, hurriedly jumped twice.
"No, no, sister princess, this is my handwriting! Sir's is beautiful, my handwriting is not comparable!"
Yang Ping was slightly shocked in her heart, such a young child, and a girl, can write such beautiful words?
"Yaya, that's all for today, you can go home first and come back tomorrow. ”
Sun Yaya was very excited now, because she actually saw a princess, but as soon as she heard Ji Yuan's words, a small face pulled down.
"Mr. ......"
"Good, obedient. ”
"Oh...... Then I'll go back......"
Sun Yaya began to pack up the four treasures of the study on the table, put them into the small bookcase next to the stone table, and then picked up the small bookcase made of bamboo, and walked out of the courtyard in a few steps.
As soon as Sun Yaya left, Ji Yuan glanced at the guards on both sides, and the two of them walked to the side like a demon, next to each other on the left and right courtyard walls, which made Yang Ping slightly surprised, but Yin Qing did not react.
Ji Yuan nodded at Yang Ping.
"It's a bit of a royal bearing that doesn't surprise at every turn!"
