Qing Yan

The West Market Street in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was bustling with people selling goods, juggling and storytelling, and it was very lively.People on the road either buy or sell, or stop to watch the excitement, or give up a few pennies to go to the teahouse to listen to the opera.

Yu Wenrui was holding his own small masked figure in his hand, admiring it with a smile on his face as he walked.

"Have I grown up so much?" She murmured to herself, "Back when my sister brought me here to play, the dough figurine I made was still a child!"

Shen Quan was by his side, afraid that passers-by would squeeze her "dragon body", and also afraid that others would step on her "dragon feet", so when she heard the "Zhen" suddenly, her forehead broke out in a cold sweat .

"My lord, my lord! You are the son-in-law now, not... ahem!" He stopped talking, but he didn't dare to let that word slip out of his mouth.

"Oh, I can save it." Yu Wenrui answered absent-mindedly.

Apply for full allowance.

"Hey, it's a pity. If sister-in-law comes with me, I will make a small portrait of sister-in-law. Wouldn't it be nice?"

She said, curling her lips regretfully, "Forget it, I have no choice but to go back and send my little portrait to accompany her, lest she never see me and miss me so much, hehe... This is called seeing things and thinking about others! "

The two master and servant wandered together and walked to the left and right of a tall building.

Yu Wenrui raised his face, staring at the plaque above his head——

Delicacy and Jade Restaurant.

That's it!

"Quanzi, do you know this place?" Yu Wenrui let the bartender lead him in, and sat at a table near the window.

Shen Quan shook his head.He came from a poor background, and his family had no livelihood, so his parents let him enter the palace for a few taels of silver.Where have you been to such a place?

"This delicacy building can be traced back to the reign of Emperor Gaozu... Hey? Why are you standing?" Yu Wenrui pointed to the chair opposite him, "Sit!"

"Slaves dare not." Yu Wenrui is the emperor, and the only ones who can sit with her at the table are the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. Even if they are important officials in the court and children of the clan, they still want her to sit in the honorable position.How could I dare to sit on an equal footing with her as a little inner eunuch?

"Why don't you dare?" Yu Wenrui raised his eyebrows, "This is not a palace..."

Seeing that Shen Quan's color had changed, and he was frowning and pouting at him, Yu Wenrui understood, and hurriedly changed his words: "...It's not at home, where are there so many rules?"

Shen Quan still refused to sit down.

The bartender ran over to wipe the table, and seeing the strangeness of the two, he couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

Yu Wenrui hurriedly said: "Quanzi, if you don't sit down, I won't tell you the origin of this delicacy building!"

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at the bartender.

Shen Quan had no choice but to sit with his hips on the edge of the chair.

"Young master, do you know the origin of our family?" The bartender grinned, feeling very fond of this beautiful young master like a silver doll.

Yu Wenrui smiled slightly: "Your family started in the reign of Emperor Gaozu, isn't that true?"

"Young master is right! Our family is a century-old shop!" The bartender complimented.

Yu Wenrui nodded: "Your old shopkeeper was married to Jinlan with Emperor Gaozu, and he was a noble relative of the Yang family in the previous dynasty..."

When the bartender first heard her say "Jinlan with the Emperor Gaozu", his face was proud, and he was about to show off, but when he heard the second part of her sentence, his face changed drastically: "What kind of relative! A villain, a villain! Know……"

Yu Wenrui didn't care either: "Only pick and serve your best dishes! Go!"

The bartender was eager for her to make a sound, and hurriedly ran to arrange the dishes.Now that border affairs are becoming more and more tense, and the puppet court of Beizheng is playing under the banner of Yang Zheng of the former dynasty, who doesn't know?What's more, this is the capital, who knows if there are any people from the public family or dignitaries who come to eat?If someone listens to such sensitive words, I am afraid that I will be implicated.

Yu Wenrui looked at the figure of the bartender going away, and said with a smile: "Very timid."

Shen Quan shrank his neck: Ancestor, do you think it's you?You are the emperor, who dares to control what you say?We are all small people, and if we make mistakes, we will be killed!

Yu Wenrui was thirsty, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.

She just put down the teacup, she seemed to feel something, and turned her head quickly——

Across a table, one cup per person, three or four dishes of vegetables.It was a young woman, dressed in the most common attire of a Jiang Hu person, with a green shirt and a green shirt. There was a bag beside her side, which was bulging and well-supported. I don't know what was packed in it. There was a bamboo hat on the bag.At this moment, the woman looked at herself expressionlessly.

She should be a heroine who roams the rivers and lakes, right?

Yu Wenrui thought.

Since she was a child, she had a quack complex, so seeing such an identity, she couldn't help but feel good about her, so she smiled at the woman, revealing two small canine teeth.

The woman didn't pay attention to her smile, she was stunned for a moment, then she turned her face away as usual, and didn't look at her again.

It turned out to be a cold-tempered sister.Yu Wenrui raised his eyebrows.

Hee hee, but most of the cold-tempered ones are warm-hearted. I don't know if this sister is a good chivalrous woman who is eager for justice.

In a short while, all kinds of dishes, snacks, and soups were served at a high price.

The bartender had read countless people and decided that Yu Wenrui was a young man from Guijie's family, so how could he save money for her?

Seeing the dazzling array of beautiful things on the table, Yu Wenrui couldn't help twitching his index finger. This chopstick, that bite, was more enthusiastic than eating the imperial meal in the palace.

Shen Quan was stunned.Ancestor, how many lifetimes have you not eaten?

Yu Wenrui chewed and swallowed a few mouthfuls, and raised his head from the bowl: "Quanzi? What are you doing in a daze? Eat! There are so many, how can I eat it by myself?"

Uh... Shen Quan couldn't hold back her, so he had no choice but to use his chopsticks.I also have to admit that the taste is really good, it seems to be a bit like imperial food.

"When I was a child, Master Yun would bring me and my elder sister here to 'have meat' only on birthdays... Well, I really miss this taste!"

As Yu Wenrui spoke, his eyes darkened: "Master Yun is gone... In this world, I have fewer and fewer relatives..."

Shen Quan didn't dare to intervene in Tian's family affairs, he could only accompany the little emperor, he ate when she ate, and she drank when she drank.

Yu Wenrui sat down satisfied after being so happy with himself: "After eating these, this trip is not in vain!"

While he was talking, he suddenly heard the bartender's voice not far from him.

"Guest officer, our family is a hundred-year-old store, and there is no such thing as credit!"

Yu Wenrui turned his face curiously, and saw the bartender standing with his hips akimbo in front of the quack girl at the next table.

The woman said something in a low voice.

The bartender said disdainfully: "You said that! Today you said you were robbed, and tomorrow he said you were robbed. Does my shop still make money?"

Yu Wenrui couldn't help getting up and leaned over.

The customers in the store also heard the bartender's loud shouts, and they all stopped and looked around.

The young woman was obviously not used to being paid so much attention, her pale face instantly turned red like blood.

Seeing everyone's attention, the bartender was afraid that he would be punished again if he disturbed the shopkeeper, and said in a panic: "You said your purse was stolen, but you are honest about your bag, so why not put it down first, and wait until you have money?" Change."

As he spoke, he stretched his hands to reach the bulging baggage.

The young woman's face turned red, but when she heard this sentence, a cold light flashed in her eyes, she clasped the bartender's wrist with a "bang", and said coldly, "How dare you!"

"Ouch! Ouch!" the bartender screamed in pain, "this bitch has really strong hands!"

Yu Wenrui was amazed.She really didn't expect that the young woman's thin wrists were so powerful.Her hearing is good, and she has faintly heard the sound of "gege".If this went on like this, the bartender's wrist would have to be crushed.

What's in that bag?Worthy of being so precious to a woman?

She glanced at the burden and said, "This sister, calm down!"

When the woman met her eyes, her figure couldn't help shaking, and the movements of her hands relaxed.

Yu Wenrui hurriedly raised his palm and brushed the back of her hand.

The woman suddenly felt a sticky force covering the back of her hand, warm and skinny, as if she wanted to brush her palm away.

She turned cold and looked at Yu Wenrui coldly.

Yu Wenrui stuck out his tongue: "Sister, don't be upset! I...cough...I don't intend to compete with my sister, but this bartender is not dead wrong..."

The woman's eyes were dark, she looked at her fixedly, swept across her throat, and then across her chest, knowing clearly in her heart.

Yu Wenrui didn't realize it, and continued: "Since my sister has been stolen, I think so, I will pay for my sister, can my sister let him go?"

As he said that, without waiting for the woman to respond, he called out: "Quanzi, account!"

Seeing that the little ancestor was meddling in his own business, Shen Quan's scalp exploded, so he had to pay for the girl's meal.

The woman looked at Yu Wenrui faintly: "I have never met you..."

Yu Wenrui waved his hand and laughed: "People in the world are in charge of the affairs of the world. If we meet by chance, it is fate!"

Without waiting for the woman to say anything, Yu Wenrui wanted to pass the purse in Shen Quan's hand, took out a big silver coin, put it on his table, and said to the bartender, "Shopkeeper, this is our meal money, is it enough?"

The bartender rubbed his swollen wrist, still feeling lingering fear, and timidly said: "Enough, enough..."

"That's fine."

After Yu Wenrui finished speaking, he handed the remaining bag of money to the young woman: "Sister, keep it for your own use."

The woman looked down at the delicate purse made of fine silk, but did not move.

Yu Wenrui only said that she was shy, so he grabbed her hand and put the money bag in her palm: "Walking in the rivers and lakes, there are many places to spend money! Sister, you are welcome!"

"I don't know you, how can I pay you back so much money?" the woman asked coldly.

My home is in the Forbidden Palace at the end of the Royal Road!

Yu Wenrui secretly said.

Of course she wouldn't say that, but she stared at the young woman with a smile on her face: "Let's talk about when my sister is free. It doesn't matter if you don't pay back... Well, if my sister has to pay back, hey, there is a destiny in the world, we will meet again !"

The woman said "thank you" and fell silent.

The so-called "one penny can overwhelm a hero", even though she has high martial arts skills, she can't stand the thief's thoughts.Having her purse stolen, relying on her status, she would never do such a thing as bullying or even robbing the house.Yu Wenrui's move really saved her from danger, and this thank you came from the heart.

Yu Wenrui consciously helped a person in the world, he felt happy, and his previous depression was swept away.She is curious about how the "woman hero" made her way into the rivers and lakes, and she really wants to have a good chat with this sister.

The woman was slightly embarrassed by her unblinking stare, and turned her face awkwardly.

"Sister is so polite! I don't know what to call my sister?" Yu Wenrui asked with a blink of an eye.

The woman pondered for a moment before saying, "Xiaoba."

This name...is so strange!

Yu Wenrui wanted to ask again, but Shen Quan couldn't listen anymore: The ancestor asked this and that, and he will tell others his name later!

He coughed, and leaned closer and said, "Master, do you think it's time for us to go back home? Mrs. Tai is thinking about it!"

Yu Wenrui pursed his lips when he heard this.

"Sister Ba, I have to go, we will meet later!"

Yu Wenrui left the shop with Shen Quan.

But the woman looked at her receding back, and couldn't move her eyes no matter what.

"Do you care about the affairs of the world? Will there be a date later?" She chuckled bitterly, "I hope, there will be no date later..."
