Chapter 284: I Go My Way (2)
Zhang Xingcheng sent the two officials away with a smiling face, then jumped into the carriage and turned around, and slowly turned back along the road he came.
Mu Xun stared at Zhang Xingcheng's side face meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I didn't expect you to be an old Jianghu, it seems that Uncle Zhang has a deep meaning for you to come with me." ”
Zhang Xingcheng smiled lightly and said: "What's all the fuss about this, who does our business, who doesn't have some means to deal with official errands." If I hadn't spoken official language just now, those two errand officers would have bullied us as foreigners and would not forgive us, but as soon as I spoke official language, and said that I had come from the imperial capital to save relatives, they would naturally have to weigh it, and if the people sitting in this car were really relatives of famous families here, they would have bad luck afterwards. ”
Mu Xun clapped his hands and smiled: "It's a good empty city plan, how can there be anyone in this carriage! But it's not bad for you to say that it's a provincial relative, after all, my grandfather's house is in this Gusu City." ”
Zhang Xingcheng's eyes widened and he asked, "Huh, why haven't I heard you talk about it?"
Mu Xun suddenly rolled his eyes and pouted: "You only say a few words a day, can I tell you?"
Zhang Xingcheng smiled apologetically and said, "This is also due to my personality..."
Mu Xun waved his hand and interrupted: "I know, I know." Let's hurry up, my stomach is almost hungry. ”
Zhang Xingcheng said: "Then do you want to go back first?"
Mu Xun said: "Where to go back? Oh, no, actually... Actually, I've never met my grandparents... I haven't decided whether I should go or not. ”
Zhang Xingcheng was stunned again, and then was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "The black hair sees the long day, and the white hair is short. I don't know what Young Master Mu has experienced in the past, but I still want to advise you, while the elders are still alive, give them more company, only in this way, you will have less regret in the future!"
When Mu Xun heard this, he was shocked by thunder, and his brain was "buzzing", and it took a long time for him to come to his senses, and he hurriedly asked, "Didn't Brother Zhang have a similar experience?"
Zhang Xingcheng slowly lowered his head, didn't answer, just smiled sadly, and then shook his head. Mu Xun saw that his smile at the moment revealed endless bitterness and helplessness, and he knew in his heart that he was also the one who carried the story, but it involved the privacy of others, and Mu Xun was not easy to ask deeply, so he sincerely thanked him: "But thank you Brother Zhang for your advice, your teachings are reasonable, and I will grasp them well in the future." ”
Zhang Xingcheng just said absent-mindedly, and then didn't say anything to Mu Xun again, obviously thinking about his own business, even the carriage he sat in was driven by instinctive reactions.
When Mu Xun saw his appearance, he also felt bored, so he leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked around, enjoying the roadside scenery again.
The horse post that the thin official said was not far away, and Zhang Xingcheng's carriage swayed and walked for a long time.
At this time, the little guy who was waiting outside the door saw a carriage coming, and immediately rushed forward, grabbed the end of the reins, stopped the horse's hooves steadily, and at the same time smiled on his face, and asked crisply: "The two uncles want to store the carriage?"
Mu Xun sat up straight and responded, "Yes, it is to be stored." ”
The little guy smiled and said, "Okay, please ask the two uncles and the master in the carriage to move and get off the train first, refreshments have already been prepared for a few of you in the lobby, please go and rest first." ”
Mu Xun stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Xingcheng's shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Brother Zhang, are you still distracted?"
Zhang Xingcheng waved his hand and said: "How can I have so many thoughts to think about, let's go, get out of the car." ”
Mu Xun jumped out of the car and said to the little guy: "There is no one in the carriage, just the two of us, you will come to the lobby after you have arranged the carriage and horses properly, I have something to ask you." ”
When the little guy heard that he was going to ask him about something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he sneered: "When it comes to finding someone to ask about something, then you are really looking for the right person, in this Gusu City, there is nothing I don't know." You two will go for tea and snacks first, and I'll come later. ”
Mu Xun smiled and nodded to him, and then walked into the lobby side by side with Zhang Xingcheng.
At this time, it was just a meal, but the horse post had always only been in charge of the horse's food, and did not cook for people, so there were only a few people sitting in the hall at the moment, and then looking at their costumes, it was obvious that they had come here from other places, and they were also waiting to store the horses and vehicles.
Mu Xun looked around the lobby and led Zhang Xingcheng to a table in the northernmost corner of the room to sit down. As soon as they were seated, another servant came to the table with a tray, and then put a pot of tea, two cups, and two plates of delicate snacks, and then said "slow use", and then withdrew.
Mu Xun looked at the two plates of small snacks on the table, and suddenly became interested, although he had also eaten many delicious snacks, but he had never been as delicate as the two plates in front of him.
The first dish on the left, there are four pieces of pink flower cake with the appearance of lotus flowers on the white porcelain plate, the shape seems to be really flawless, and it happens to be integrated with the lotus leaf pattern on the plate, the lotus flower is like growing out of the porcelain plate, lifelike; However, in Mu Xun's opinion, the exquisiteness of these two plates of dim sum is the only one he has seen in his life, he immediately grabbed a "dewdrop" and threw it into his mouth, but as soon as he entered it, he hurriedly spit it out, frowned and said, "How can this thing be salty?"
Zhang Xingcheng also took one and threw it into his mouth, and immediately frowned, but he didn't spit it out, but said in a vague voice: "Maybe it's the taste!"
Mu Xun picked up a piece of "lotus" again, but this time he was not in a hurry to throw it into his mouth, but smelled it first, and then tasted it lightly, and suddenly showed a satisfied look on his face, and praised: "Yes, this piece is good, you can taste it quickly." ”
Zhang Xingcheng swallowed the "dewdrop" with difficulty, picked up another piece of "lotus" and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and also showed a satisfied look.
At this moment, the little guy who picked up the horse before had already entered the lobby, and after seeing where Mu Xun was, he walked straight over. When he got closer, he smiled first: "Two masters, the carriage and horses have been properly placed, this is the ticket for taking the car, please put it away." As he spoke, he handed a palm-sized sign to Mu Xun.
Mu Xun took the brand, glanced at it, handed it to Zhang Xingcheng, and then turned his eyes to look at the little guy, and asked, "May I ask the little brother, what is the name of this plate of dim sum? Why is it salty?"
