A few days after bidding farewell to "Tang Ren", Tang Ling and Yun'er's journey to the mountains and forests has finally ushered in a short rest. This made Yun'er look very excited, as for the reason, it was naturally "I don't have to put up with Ling's half-tone cooking skills anymore".

At this time, Tang Ling and Yun'er had set foot in Guangling County, Yangzhou.

"There's an inn in front of you!"

Such jubilant cheers, only Yun'er, who doesn't know what sorrow is, will make it, and the cheers without the slightest scruples also attracted the side eyes of passers-by, for this kind of behavior without any manners, Tang Ling just followed slowly with a doting expression.

"Two guest officers, please inside!"

With Xiao Er's excessively courteous shouting, Yun'er naturally broke into a certain restaurant, almost based on her first impression, she sat down on the edge of a dining table by the window without any thought, and at the same time slapped the table that was still precious: "Ling, hurry up!

After a few urgings, Tang Ling walked into the inn unhurriedly, looked at Yun'er who couldn't wait with a wry smile, he took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the little second-hand with a reluctant face, and ordered: "Stir-fry a few plates of signature side dishes, and add a pot of wine." ”

Thinking about the weight of silver in his hand, Xiao Er's movements seemed to be extremely hard, and he respectfully saluted Tang Ling, and ran to the counter with a shout. Seeing this very enthusiastic junior leave, Tang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Yun'er with a wry smile. Recalling the expression on the younger side of Fang Cai when he saw his tattered clothes, Tang Ling couldn't help but murmur as he walked: "Respecting Luo Yi first and then respecting people is always a bad habit of mortals." ”

Maybe it was the amount of silver given by Tang Ling, and the speed of the store serving food was amazingly fast, although it was just a few simple side dishes, Yun'er did not refuse to come, just a few simple actions, and the small mouth with an obviously small capacity was already stuffed with all kinds of meals. Not only that, but she also took the initiative to put the leftovers into her bowl, which could not be more obvious to assert her sovereignty.

"Eat slowly, don't choke. ”

Tang Ling tapped Yun'er's rice bowl with chopsticks and reminded him.

"Let's chirp, chirp, chirp......"

The voice of protest expressed Yun'er's unhappiness.

Sighing lightly, Tang Ling ordered a few more exquisite dishes under Xiao Er's fiery gaze.

"The guest officer has a good eye, these small dishes are full of praise even for Taizong back then, and they have been the signature dishes of our small shop for a hundred years. Xiao Er, who had been nodding his head, said.

These words made Yun'er a little curious: "Just these few dishes can make Emperor Taizong full of praise?"

Hearing Yun'er's question, Xiao Er was even more proud: "Of course, before Taizong ascended the throne, he often went out to play with a group of old courtiers, as long as he came to Guangling County, he would inevitably come to our small shop to sit down, and he would inevitably order these small dishes, one is not much, one is not much." ”

"No, there's one missing. Tang Ling interrupted Xiao Er's boasting, but there was a nostalgic smile on his face, "Go get a pot of 'brocade carving'." ”

Hearing Tang Ling's words, Xiao Er's eyes suddenly lit up: "'Jinhuadiao' is the signature old wine of the shop, and Emperor Taizong will inevitably order a pot back then, and the monarchs and ministers will drink it together." ”

Tang Ling put another ingot of silver on the table, and urged a little impatiently: "Hurry up and prepare." ”

threw out two ingots of silver in a row, and Tang Ling's image in Xiao Er's heart has been subverted. At this moment, in Xiao Er's eyes, the generous guest in front of him obviously had a lot of background, and his attentive expression suddenly crawled all over the thin face - naturally, the speed of serving the food was also unbelievably fast.

Faced with a table full of exquisite dishes, Yun'er didn't pay attention to those senseless reserved appearances, and the speed at which the chopsticks flew at this moment only stunned others. And this gobbling up appearance is a bit of a contrast with Tang Ling.

"Ling, you only drink?"

In between chewing, Yun'er asked.

"In this little shop, I'm only interested in wine. Tang Ling replied as she poured herself a glass of wine.

"What's so good about wine? Twisting her eyebrows and pursing her lips, Yun'er expressed her incomprehension with these two actions. When she first met Tang Ling, she was puzzled by Tang Ling's only hobby, and during their journey, she had snatched a little bit from Tang Ling to satisfy her curiosity - but the spicy taste of wine made her regret it.

Tang Ling smiled: "I just like this kind of spicy taste. ”

Yun'er held her cheeks, looking at the guy in front of her in disbelief and even incredulity.

Before long, several more dishes were added to the table, but this time they were delivered by the shopkeeper himself. The face of this old shopkeeper who looked to be over sixty years old was a little more curious than the shopkeeper with a courteous face. Looking at the sudden increase in wine and food, Tang Ling did not refuse to come, regardless of Yun'er's face full of surprise, he held up a pot of newly aged "brocade carving" and drank it with his head high.

After taking a sip of old wine, Tang Ling seemed to have an aftertaste and seemed to be thinking.

"The 'brocade carving' of the first year of Zhenguan, the old shopkeeper, I didn't expect that you still have such a century-old good wine in this inn. Tang Ling tasted a few more sips and said the year of this pot of aged wine.

When the old shopkeeper heard Tang Ling's comment, he was obviously surprised by Tang Ling's insight: "Guest officer, you can actually taste the year of this pot of 'brocade carving', this insight is admired by the old man." ”

"It's just that I once drank this year's 'brocade carving'. Tang Ling chuckled, lowered his head and took another sip, his face full of nostalgia, "If I remember correctly, this year's 'Brocade Carving' was brewed precisely because Taizong ascended the throne, and it is also the best in the 'Brocade Carving'." ”

Yun'er looked at Tang Ling with a full of aftertaste in puzzlement, and pursed her lips, but at the same time she seemed to be relieved, but her character of never knowing what it was didn't make her focus too much on the wine that made Tang Ling intoxicated, just for a moment, she rolled up her sleeves again, lifted her chopsticks, and swept the food in front of her like a hungry tiger grabbing food.

At this time, there was a lively sound of gongs and drums on the street. A team of people wearing red and green held gongs, drums, and firecrackers along the street, and a man wore a big red flower on his chest, and the red clothes set him off in good spirits, followed by a large flower bridge with eight lifts, and a tall horse riding under his crotch, with a festive face. But this scene only did not hide the domineering momentum of the groom's official in the past, and even the faces of the people on the street secretly showed indignation. Obviously, this man was not a good man or a woman in the past, and he could even be called a "bully".

"Joyful event?"

Yun'er, who didn't notice any abnormal atmosphere, glanced out a few times, and was immediately infected by this external festive atmosphere, and her eyes flashed with flashes.

"Ling, look outside the street!

"The pomp and circumstance is not small, and it has the demeanor of a bit of a powerful person. ”

Tang Ling looked outside, and naturally understood a little in his heart. At this time, the groom official on the horse also happened to look over here, and glanced at Tang Ling, but he was not much surprised, but when he saw Yun'er, his eyes stayed for a while. It just so happened that this time was taken into Tang Ling's eyes, and he sneered - the groom who was suspected of being a bully did not attract his attention, but it was the aura emanating from the flower bridge that attracted his attention.

This is a happy event, but it may not be happy for everyone, and maybe it will be very happy and sad. ”

The old shopkeeper was filling Tang Ling's wine glass at this time, which happened to interrupt Tang Ling's self-talk.

"Guest officer, good wine is hard to find, please taste it slowly. ”

Tang Ling glanced at the old shopkeeper and didn't say anything, but when he looked outside, only the tightly covered flower bridge came into his eyes.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the discussion about this happy event finally began to remember, but the expression on the faces of the people who discussed it was only resentment, sneering, and a burst of disobedience.

"Take a concubine again, what room is it this time?"

"God knows, I only know the women here, but any little bit of beauty has more or less something to do with that guy. It's almost comparable to the three thousand harem beauties of Emperor Lao Tzu. ”

"Marrying wives, taking concubines, Qinglou, and robbing, the women he has touched are afraid that they have already surpassed the current emperor. ”

"This is wrong, when today's son has favored Yang Guifei alone in recent years, and he only loved Concubine Wu Hui who has long passed away before, how can there be such a romantic affair?"

Hearing all kinds of discussions, Yun'er couldn't help but stick out her tongue, lowered her voice and said to Tang Ling: "It turns out that the groom is not a good person?"

Tang Ling smiled and asked, "Do you think that groom is a good person?"

"Not really. ”

This time, Yun'er's answer was very direct.

With a chuckle, Tang Ling sandwiched a few chopsticks for Yun'er. Fang Cai Yun'er looked at the flower bridge, her face had already appeared with a look of yearning, how could she notice the groom's gaze stopping on her? But the flower bridge also attracted Tang Ling's attention, to be precise, Tang Ling had noticed that the bride in the flower bridge was not an ordinary mortal.

A gentle cough interrupted the conversation between them, and the old shopkeeper's face was full of displeasure, and he lowered his voice to remind Tang Ling: "Guest officer, you must be cautious in what you say." ”

Tang Ling glanced at the crowd that had not yet dispersed, stopped speaking, and showed a playful smile on his face.
