I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?
Chapter 17 Recruitment
Qu Ying couldn't wait, so she pushed Jiang Yuan and called four maids to change her clothes, wash and dress her up again, and then go out to eat.
After eating vegetarian food for so long in the temple, she is almost turning into a rabbit.
Chunzhi and Luzhu are young, while Zhishu and Mohua are a little older, both twenty years old. The two little maids took the initiative to become assistants and follow the arrangements of their two sisters in everything.
Jiang Yuan was dressed up by them and changed into a gilded purple gauze dress with a green cloak on the outside, and a golden hairpin and hairpin on her head.
For the first time, Jiang Yuan felt his head was so heavy. Looking at Qu Ying's hair full of pearls and jade, he couldn't help but frown. Isn't it tiring for her to carry it every day? Will she not grow taller? No wonder the women here are not too tall.
"This is the right way to dress. This is how officials and noble ladies dress. Let's go to Tianxiang Tower."
I haven't been to a restaurant since I came here, and I haven't even had any delicious food. Tianxianglou is the largest restaurant in the capital, with a total of three floors.
The waiter took them to the third-floor room facing the street and ordered a table full of delicious food. After eating, Jiang Yuan felt relieved. He had read in books before that food in ancient times was scarce and the cooking methods were simple. There was nothing delicious to eat after traveling through time, and he would be so greedy that he would die.
But this fictional dynasty was different. The food variety was very complete. Her favorite potatoes were available, and there were many ways to cook them, such as frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying. At least this table was complete.
As long as there is something delicious, she is afraid that there is nothing she wants. She loves spicy food. If there is no pepper, she might as well just pick up a knife and kill all her enemies in the previous life, then commit suicide and be reborn again.
After dinner, they sat by the window and chatted, looking at the hustle and bustle of the street and the hawking of the vendors. The capital city was still very lively. In his previous life, after his birthday, Jiang Yuan had never felt such a street again.
There was the sound of horse hooves on the street, and a group of people on horseback passed by the street below.
"Hey, General Xie, he is back in Beijing?" Qu Ying murmured. A man who happened to be passing by on horseback looked up and saw Qu Ying by the window.
"Second sister Qu."
Qu Ying waved downwards, and Jiang Yuan also looked down through the window.
A young man riding on a horse below, looking energetic, showed his big white teeth and waved to the people upstairs.
"Who is this girl? Second sister, would you please introduce her to me?"
Qu Ying glanced at him, and said with a familiar tone of disdain, "Who introduced you? You wish for it."
The young man below was not angry either. He laughed loudly twice and waved goodbye, "Then we'll meet again next time if we're destined to. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Jiang Yuan held his chin, looked at the street, and said nothing.
Qu Ying couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Aren't you curious about who it was just now?"
Jiang Yuan shook her head. It was none of her business.
Qu Ying obviously didn't think so. She felt that Jiang Yuan didn't ask, so she was scratching her head and said, "She is Lord Xie's youngest son, Xie Yunxiao."
"Oh."
"Aren't you curious at all?"
"What's there to be curious about? This capital city is rich and the streets are full of royal relatives."
Qu Ying curled her lips, "You don't have any curiosity at all. Xie Yunxiao is a promising young man, and my father likes him very much."
"Why, he wants to marry you to him?"
"Of course not." Qu Ying got furious and tried to clear herself from the matter much faster than she could eat meat. "My father admired his talent as a young general, so he didn't want to marry me to him.
My mother wants to find me a man from an upright family."
"The Princess doesn't know you well enough."
The two chatted casually, sat for a while and then left, preparing to return home.
The carriage passed by the street market. Qu Ying leaned against the window and looked outside. The noisy sounds outside came into the carriage.
"Another conscription, the second time this year. Sigh, this world is in such a mess."
Jiang Yuan, who was drowsy sitting in the carriage, was stunned. Recruiting soldiers?
"Lingling, are they recruiting soldiers outside? Are there many recruits this year?"
"What?" Qu Ying didn't hear clearly and turned to look at Jiang Yuan.
"I say, are there many conscriptions?"
Qu Ying nodded, "Yes, this is the second time this year."
Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, opened the door, and said to the coachman, "Let's not go back to the mansion, let's go to the teahouse."
Qu Ying was happy, for she had not listened to storytelling for a long time. When she heard this, she immediately agreed and urged the coachman to hurry up.
After entering the teahouse, Jiang Yuan said to the maids following behind him, "Accompany Qu Ying to the side room."
"Aren't you going?" Qu Ying grabbed Jiang Yuan who was turning around to leave.
"I have something to do, you go first." After saying that, she pointed to an empty table not far away, took off the hairpin on her head and gave it to Chunzhi.
The determined look and affirmative tone made Qu Ying listen to her and go to the side room obediently.
Jiang Yuan took Lu Zhu and walked to the empty table in the corner and sat down.
The waiter of the teahouse came over immediately and asked what she needed. Luzhu ordered some dried fruits and good tea, and also asked for two pots of good wine.
The storyteller on the stage was talking, seemingly about some folk legend, but Jiang Yuan didn't hear a word he said. His mind was full of the conscription notice on the street.
The people sitting around smelled the aroma of wine and came over one by one. They were all ordinary people who went to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to books, and they could only order some melon seeds, peanuts and simple tea.
There are also good wines here, most of which are ordered by the dignitaries in the private rooms.
Seeing that it was a girl in luxurious clothes who ordered the wine, everyone felt embarrassed to speak directly and could only move a little closer to smell the aroma of the wine.
Jiang Yuan was very generous. Seeing this, he asked Luzhu to fill everyone's cups. Upon hearing this, everyone drank up the tea in their bowls and held up their bowls to take the wine poured by Luzhu.
In this way, the distance between them was shortened and the favor of the people around them was won. Some of them were easy to talk to and asked Jiang Yuan where she came from and why she didn't go to the private room to listen.
Jiang Yuan explained that there is no atmosphere in the private rooms, and listening to books in a teahouse is more enjoyable when sitting in the lobby.
Just say a few words to get closer to everyone.
I heard a lot of information from everyone.
In the carriage on the way back to the mansion at night, Jiang Yuan looked heavy-hearted. Qu Ying sat quietly beside him, peeking at him from time to time, her mind racing. Is Jiang Yuan angry? She was watching from the private room, so there was no chance of a pervert approaching.
Moreover, Jiang Yuan seemed to be chatting happily with everyone, talking and laughing, and even treating people to drinks, but why did he look so solemn as soon as he got on the carriage?
"A Yuan, what's wrong?" Qu Ying couldn't help but ask, as she couldn't keep it secret.
Jiang Yuan frowned and sighed, "The war is intense and the people have many complaints."
When Qu Ying heard that it was because of this, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, I don't know how Daddy and Brother are doing. Oh, now that you mention it, I feel bad about going out to eat and play today."
Jiang Yuan glanced at her and thought, "Not bad, she's knowledgeable."
