I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Two people competed for a referee spot, and finally Zhao Lingxi won.

Coincidentally, the little official in the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of selecting candidates was the one that Zhao Lingxi and Princess Yan had "pursued" together.

Now that there is Si Nan, Zhao Lingxi immediately put him aside, "If you let me be selected, I promise I will never talk to you again, and I can help you block Princess Yan."

The little official shouted "Thank God", and did not hesitate to add her name on the notebook at the risk of offending Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan wanted to grab, Zhao Lingxi straightened his back and stopped in front.

The little official was also clever, and ran to the Ministry of Education in a hurry.Once the big seal is stamped, the matter will be settled.

Like a victorious little peacock, Zhao Lingxi walked out proudly.

The servant girl Xu'er was full of worries from head to toe, "Master, are you really planning to compete with the county king for a man? I think this is not very reliable."

"What's unreliable? Is Brother Xiaonan not beautiful enough, or is the county magistrate not cute enough?"

The corner of Xu'er's mouth twitched, and she said honestly: "It's fine if it's someone else, anyway, you like this one today and that one tomorrow, just like Thirteenth Lang Jun collects vases, I haven't seen much sincerity, it's really not worth risking to offend Yan The county king's risk provokes Si Xiaodong's family."

Zhao Lingxi glared, "Who says I'm not sincere? I really mean it this time. As long as Xiao Nan follows me, I promise not to look at other men again."

Xu'er hehehe: "You said the same thing when you competed with Princess Yan last time for Master Li."

Zhao Lingxi shook her head and pretended to have amnesia.

Xu'er earnestly said: "Grandma, really, you can't be self-willed anymore. Last time you were tricked by Princess Yan, the lord and the mistress both know about your problem. If you offend King Yan again..."

That one is the one who shoots arrows at the slightest disagreement!

Xu'er shivered.

Zhao Lingxi gave her a sideways look, "Why can brother Qiuqiu be able to do it, but I can't? Do you all think that a man who loves a beautiful woman is elegant, and a woman who pursues a young man she likes is debauched and has bad intentions? There is no such thing in the world. reason."

"But you are the head of the county!"

"Because I was born in such a family, I have to live in style. How many princesses have been dignified and restrained since ancient times? How many have a good end?"

Zhao Lingxi sneered, "Don't talk about others, just say that our eldest princess who is 'a role model for the world's noble girls' has been cautious in front of her in-laws and husband all her life, and the sons born to concubines depend on her for their careers. In the end, How about half a point?"

Xu'er sighed: "Isn't that right? This is a real princess. The daughters of ordinary people don't necessarily live like that...It's not easy for a free woman. The most relaxed and comfortable is the few years before marriage."

Zhao Lingxi patted her on the shoulder, "So, taking advantage of your county lord, I can still be at ease for two years now, I have to bounce around, live enough in one breath, so as not to be trapped in other people's homes and leave regrets in vain."

Xu'er nodded.

Halfway through the click, I felt something was wrong again, "Junjun Yan still can't be messed with, can you change it?"

Zhao Lingxi smiled slyly, "Look, maybe she has to thank me."

not at all.

Tang Xuan just wanted to shoot her with an arrow.

Until he entered the small courtyard of the Si family, his face was still dark.

Si Nan raised his eyes and was immediately amused, "Did you lose the bet?"

Tang Xuan pursed his lips, didn't speak, just put his hand into his arms, put his head on his shoulder, and cursed for the first time: "That stinky girl."

Gee!

Simon was sour again.

After continuing with Zhao Xing, Zhao Zongshi, and Gao Taotao, Tang Xuan really complained about one person.

Another childhood sweetheart.

Si Nan sighed, and finally understood the sad sighs of the protagonists in those romance novels looking up at the sky at 45 degrees——

Why was there no me in his youth?

What a pity to miss his 20 years.

Si Nan poked his face sourly, leaving two white handprints, "I made soup dumplings and pot bottoms, and we will have a picnic tomorrow."

In Sinan's case, Tang Xuan's obsession with cleanliness didn't seem to exist.He didn't wipe it off, but just rubbed it on Sinan's face, "What's for dinner?"

Si Nan smiled and avoided, "Isn't it Hugh Mu for the Double Ninth Festival tomorrow? Let's go out for a day as a family."

Tang Xuan's face finally turned from cloudy to clear, "Well, where do you want to go?"

"Can you go to Jinming Lake? I want to take the boys to go boating."

"Okay." Tang Xuan secretly compared whether to use the water dragon boat of the Tokyo Navy or the turtle-shaped boat of the Qinghe Navy.

About Baiweisai, Tang Xuan told Sinan.

Sinan was planning to open a branch, but his first reaction was not to participate, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind.

The officials couldn't just let Tang Xuan face it alone, he had to fight for every opportunity to prove to the officials that he could be Tang Xuan's qualified partner.

You need to become stronger quickly, you can't be foolish and watch outstanding people appear one after another around him, and you are still standing still.

Kelp soup made for dinner, stewed pork belly with dried cabbage and Kaifeng famous soup dumpling.

The kelp was bought by Sinan from the Tokyo wharf. He tried many kinds of kelp and found that the leaves of this company are thick, fresh and not bitter. He plans to cooperate for a long time in the future.

The cabbage is home grown.

There are two vegetable beds in the small yard. The beans and leeks that were originally planted did not grow all summer for some reason.Later, I simply dug and sprinkled some cabbage seeds.

A few days ago, the seedlings were thinned out, some were pulled out, and hung on a rope to dry under the south wall. Now they are just edible.

These jobs are all done by the children. The little ones are diligent and serious in doing things, and they are better at living than Si Nan.

This is the first time they have eaten dumplings filled with soup.

In the past, Sinan always wanted to cook something special, but he forgot about the delicacies under his nose.

Soup buns, mutton steamed buns, bucket chicken, fried jelly, fried eight pieces, carp baked noodles, these are Sinan's favorite Kaifeng delicacies.

Especially Guantangbao. When he was a child, he didn’t like meat. His grandma was afraid that he would be malnourished, so she mixed meat stuffing with shepherd’s purse and wrapped them in small soup dumplings. Every time he would tease him and say, “Nanzi, the soup will flow when you eat it.” Soup buns!"

Because of this, Si Nan fell in love with this kind of "little steamed buns that can flow soup".

The children also like it very much. It's like a treasure hunt, each groping for the correct way to eat.

Dongzao was impatient and bit into the water with one bite. The soup was all spilled, and the children laughed.

Dongzao scratched his head, picked up another one, put the whole thing in his mouth, and sucked it hard while chewing.Before I finished eating, I couldn't wait to say: "Sweet!"

Erlang was more prudent, he took a small bowl in advance, put the soup dumpling in it, ate the stuffing first, and then dipped the dough in the soup to eat, so nothing was wasted.

When the children saw it, they all followed him.

The smartest is the cub.

The little guy didn't eat rashly, but observed silently for a while, and then put a "Zai Zai Shou" on each of the left and right small round hands, holding a spoon in his left hand and chopsticks in his right.Scoop a thin layer of dipping material in the spoon, and then use chopsticks to pick up a soup bag and put it in.

Then take a small bite out of the dough, absorb the soup, and finally put the dipping sauce and buns into your mouth.

The children were stunned and ran to the cupboard to get their spoons.Even the cubs were scooped up with their paws, but they couldn't be picked up, so they had to obediently wait for the cubs to be fed.

The cub eats one, and the little cub eats one.All the cubs will eat one, and the yellow dog Xiaodai will also eat one.

On the way, the little lamb came over curiously, smelled it, and ran away sadly, wondering if it smelled of the same kind.

The children laughed again.

When the second pot was steamed, Erlang took two baskets and sent them to Yu's family without asking Sinan.

There is no need to ask, these days, no matter what delicious food Sinan cooks, there will be a portion for Yu's family, the children are already used to it.

The brothers and sisters of the Yu family did not enjoy the gift of the Si family with peace of mind. Now Aunt Yu is responsible for the shoes worn by the children and the holes in the clothes.

After school, Yu Qibao would go to the hot pot restaurant, and instead of stepping on the fan, he would rush to clean the tables, wash the dishes, and be a doorman, insisting on no wages.

It's a good thing for the little guy to understand these things. Sinan didn't discourage his enthusiasm, but gave Yu Sanniang more money when he settled accounts every ten days.

Si Nan stuffed a soup dumpling into Tang Xuan's mouth, it was a little hot, just to see him make a fool of himself.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xuan chewed slowly for more than ten times as if he didn't feel it, and swallowed without changing his expression.

Sinan wondered, it shouldn't be!

He took another one and put it in his mouth, took a bite, and the thick and fragrant soup flowed out, um...

Hot hot hot hot!

Si Nan jumped up and down, but he couldn't bear to spit it out, so he could only fan his mouth with his head up.That movement, that look, are the same as those of the cubs next to him!

The children didn't know whether to laugh or care about him, so they could only help him laugh while shaking their little shoulders while frantically fetching cold water for him.

Tang Xuan pinched Sinan's chin, and blew cool air on him with his mouth close to his.

Simon... his whole body was burned.

***

It's been two or three days since Di Yong came back. He was supposed to go to see Si Nan, but Wei's family caught a cold. Di Yong personally invited a doctor, took medicine, and took care of him day and night, but he didn't leave.

Until this day, Wei Shi was finally able to get out of bed, and Di Yong finally had time to loosen his muscles and bones, and did some boxing in the back garden.

Fan Xuan'er lives in Chunhui Pavilion, which is the attic with the best view in the General's Mansion. Originally, Wei Shi lived there by himself. After Xiao Wei's death, Wei Shi felt sorry for Fan Xuan'er, so he gave it to her.

When Di Yong was boxing, Fan Xuan'er was leaning against the window and reading the script, shedding tears as she read it, imagining herself as a heroine whose fate was ill-fated, framed by traitors, and obstructed by villains.

——The traitor who framed her was Si Nan, and the villain who obstructed her was the official family.

Princess Yan Guo originally intended to help her, but since she saw a signing ceremony hosted by Sinan, she never believed it again.She handed countless invitations to the princess mansion, but all of them fell into the sea.

"It must be that the surnamed Si entered into the slander, otherwise why did the princess suddenly cold me?"

Liu Er looked at her weak and weak appearance, feeling very distressed, half-kneeling and squatting in front of her, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

"Miss, what is your fate? Don't think about the King of Yan County anymore. You see Erlang Jun has come back. He is filial and handsome. Marry him. My cousin will become an official, and my aunt will become a mother-in-law. We will also marry him." How nice it is not to leave this general's mansion."

"Do you think so too?" Fan Xuan'er quietly glanced out of the window, where Di Yong was wiping sweat with the hem of his clothes.

Fan Xuan'er withdrew her gaze in disgust, and said: "A military man is a military man, and it's too careless to be surrounded by men all day long."

Liu'er sighed helplessly, isn't the King of Yan County also from the Forbidden Army, but he is more noble and richer than Lord Erlang!

Fan Xuan'er took another look, and said softly, "Come with me to see my aunt, I heard that she is feeling better."

"It should be like this." Liu'er was quite relieved, thinking that Fan Xuan'er at least knew how to respect the mistress, and didn't just cling to her...

As soon as this idea came up, Fan Xuan'er sat in front of the bronze mirror, "Liu'er, dress me up."

Liu'er was puzzled, "Didn't you go to visit the mistress?"

Fan Xuan'er didn't change her face, "Make up better, and my aunt will be happy to see you."

Liu Er: ...

Oh right.

Soon, she realized that she was still too naive.

Obviously, she was going to visit her sick mistress, but Fan Xuan'er dressed herself up as if she was on a blind date. When she left the attic, she did not go to the main courtyard. Instead, she turned left and right, and arrived at the back garden.

Until she bumped into Di Yong head-on, Liu Er finally understood.

Di Yong was taken aback, "What's wrong with your face? Did it fall into the tank?"

Fan Xuan'er lowered her head halfway, trying her best to be as gentle as water, and her voice was delicate: "Why did my cousin say that?"

Di Yong said bluntly: "It's white enough to wipe the wall, I thought you just got out of the noodle tank."

Fan Xuan'er: ...

Run away crying.

Di Yong smiled, and happily returned to his yard.

Cao Guo was waiting for him in the house, "Cousin girl went to look for you?"

Di Yong gave a thumbs up, "If my aunt is really good at pinching and counting, the officials should put you in the Northwest Army. It must be better than the half-baked army division now."

"You, there's no one to tell the truth." Cao Guo chuckled, "Did you run away from her?"

"necessary."

"what did you say?"

"The thing she least likes to hear."

Cao Guo smiled, and put out everything she eats, "Hey, it's not that I'm mean, that's right, the more I look at it, the more I feel that this cousin girl has a wicked heart and is really not a good match."

"I know my aunt loves the second boy. Don't worry, I'm smart and won't fall for her." Di Yong sat down firmly, grabbed a small steamed bun and threw it into his mouth.

Cao Guo hit his hand with chopsticks, and threw a wet cloth to him, "After washing your hands, just eat them? How can you look like a son of an aristocratic family?"

Di Yong wiped his hands and smiled sarcastically: "It's not like that, why pretend?"

If the Di Mansion was really a family, my father would not have been squeezed out by the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Cao Guo sighed, and lovingly pushed the steamed bun to him, "Try it, I learned from Brother Nan."

Di Yongjun raised his eyebrows, "I haven't seen you for two years, brother Xiao Nan has grown up? Not only is he messing with that coffin face, but he can also cook?"

"That's right, the hotpot restaurant is booming, you'll know it when you see it." Speaking of Sinan, Caoguo is extremely rare.

Di Yong threw a small steamed bun into his mouth, it was a bit small, and threw another one, chewing the two together, it was delicious after eating.

"See you tomorrow."

***

The next day happened to be the Double Ninth Festival.

Sinan dragged his family to Jinmingchi.

Autumn in Jinming Pond is the best time for scenery. The pool is full of blue waves, reflecting the golden and tender pink chrysanthemums on the shore, and the curling petals are blooming delicately, making the autumn scenery lively. .

Today is the Double Ninth Festival, Jinming Pond is fully open, no matter the royal family or ordinary people, everyone can enter the park to enjoy it.

There are flower sheds in the garden, like half-open pavilions, tied with flowers, hung with bamboo curtains and curtains, where you can drink tea and wine, watch water and watch plays, which is much more pleasant than wandering around.

This book is specially prepared for the nobles, with some money, you can rent it for a whole day.

Tang Xuan has the privilege, as long as he says hello in advance, he can be allocated the best flower shed.Si Nan didn't want to do this, so he asked Huai Shu to take up a seat in advance.

The boy Huaishu really has some skills, and he doesn't know how he did it. The moment the park opened, he was the first to rush in and took the best position.

In front of Baojin Building are these two flower sheds, next to Xianqiao, leading directly to Shuixin Hall, facing Linshui Hall in the east.Unlike these two, the terrain is high and bright, and you can have a panoramic view of Jinmingchi.

The rest of the flower sheds are located on the east and west sides, with either slopes or water in front of them, one next to the other, very narrow.

Si Nan took a look and was immediately happy, "Good job, I will reward you two duck heads later."

Huai Shu said glibly: "No, no, it should."

Si Nan smiled, "Then don't eat it."

Deliberately holding the bottom of the pot and shaking it in front of him.

Huai Shu changed his words in a second: "No, no, let's eat."

The children laughed and happily helped Sinan arrange things.

The same is true for Tang Xuan.

I am used to living in the Si family, and everyone can habitually find something that suits them.

When Si Nan moved the pot, Tang Xuan took out the small stove; when Si Nan checked the seasoning, Tang Xuan brought the food basket to him; when Si Nan fetched water to make tea, Tang Xuan fiddled with the charcoal fire...

The two of them are like living at home, tacit and natural.

In the eyes of others, how shocking and shocking it is.

Fan Xuan'er looked sad, "Your Majesty would rather accompany Si Nan to do these jobs that women should do, rather than let me wash his hands and make soup for him?"

Liu'er said frankly: "My lady, you don't know how to make soup either!"

Fan Xuan'er's expression froze, "I'm just making an analogy."

Liu'er kindly said: "Next time, it's better to compare."

Fan Xuan'er glared at her, "Back when my mother brought me to the capital, I didn't choose so many smart girls, why did I pick you, the one with no winks?"

Liu'er said silently: Because I'm stupid, those clever people have already gone to curry favor with the second and third.

the other end-

Zhao Lingxi was eager to try, "Xu'er, tell me, if I help Brother Xiaonan cook like Qiuqiu, who is more gentle, considerate, and nice to him than Qiuqiu, will he abandon Qiuqiu and go with him?" me?"

Xu'er thought for a while and said, "You don't have to work too hard, you can be more gentle and considerate than Prince Yan."

Zhao Lingxi was surprised, "You think so highly of me?"

"No, I just think that Yan Junwang really has nothing to do with being gentle and considerate." It was so frightening.

Zhao Lingxi hehehe: "You are really my good girl."

Xu'er smiled and stretched out her hand, "Thank the county magistrate for the compliment, you don't need to reward too much, just two copper coins."

Zhao Lingxi slapped her open palm, "You will be rewarded with a slap."

Xu'er straightened up all of a sudden, stuck out her tongue, "County Mistress, cheapskate."

"Oh, it's the opposite." Zhao Lingxi pinched her bulging face, trying to wring her.

Xu'er slipped away immediately.

The master and the servant fought around the pool.

There were many people enjoying the flowers nearby, and accidentally bumped into it, and quickly apologized.Zhao Lingxi always smiled and waved her hands, but instead said sorry to others, she didn't seem to overwhelm others at all.

In the flower shed, Sinan brewed tea and set up snacks, and finally he could enjoy the flowers leisurely.

When the children came back from playing around, they all said they were hungry.

Si Nan could see their small thoughts at a glance.

Originally, bread, spring rolls and mashed taro were prepared for today's picnic, which are convenient and ready-to-eat.Unexpectedly, the children quietly moved the bottom of the pot and the duck head he had prepared for dinner to the car.

Ever since they ate dry pot spicy duck head once, the children have been obsessed with the taste. After finally getting together, Sinan said to do it again, and the children had no way to wait until night.

Simon was both relieved and helpless.

It is gratifying that the cubs finally know how to eat and drink like other children, and play a little bit of narrow-mindedness; the helpless thing is, who can cook spicy duck heads in a picnic?

"Brother Master..." The boys stared at each other.

"Squeak..." Tiao Cub also stared.

——Yes, Xiao Zai took the little guy out of his arms while he was not paying attention.

cook cook cook!

Under the attack of Xingxingyan, Sinan resigned to his fate and set fire to the stove.

The duck head is half-cooked, just spread the side dishes such as shallots and dried tofu, put it in the pot, pour the ingredients on it, and boil it.

The pot is a cast iron pot with a diameter of only one foot, a large pot with a shallow mouth, and a bamboo and wood lid, covered with a lotus leaf, and cooked slowly over a low heat to bring out the most flavor.

There is no chili, and ginger and cornel are still used instead. It is eaten in autumn, and it does not get angry, and it is also suitable for children.

Cook until the pot makes a beautiful gurgling sound, then the fire can be removed, leaving only the residual charcoal to warm the pot.

Tang Xuan took off the lid of the pot and fanned the hot air so as not to burn Sinan.

The children put on the gut finger cots, held small wooden bowls, sat in a row, and waited obediently.

Sinan held a bamboo tong, and put two duck heads and two side dishes in a small bowl. The combination of meat and vegetables was very beautiful.

Even though they were so greedy that they swallowed their saliva, the children sensibly waited for Sinan to divide it up, and finally served Tang Xuan and himself, and the cubs couldn't wait to eat.

Fortunately, I was wearing gut finger cots, so I was not afraid of being dirty or hot, so I just grabbed it and ate it.

There was no waste at the bottom of the pot. Sinan put the pre-stretched longxu noodles into it. No need to add water or heat. Cover the pot and wait for a while. A pot of spicy stewed noodles is ready.

Tang Xuan didn't like to eat thin and soft dragon's beard noodles, so Si Nan specially baked some Baiji buns for him. After taking out the dragon's beard noodles, adding water, adding mutton slices, and tearing the buns into it, one serving was not enough. How to make authentic mutton steamed buns.

The so-called "three meals in one pot" requires that the bottom of the pot has no minced meat, no miscellaneous smells, no pot, and it can maintain the freshness of the bottom of the pot and the soup, which can be achieved by dry pot spicy duck head.

The moment the lid of the pot was lifted, the fragrance wafted all over the Jinming Pond.

Why are you suddenly hungry when you come out with a full meal in the morning?There is a little lady next to her, so don't coo!

Someone scolded: "Which grandson secretly cooks hot pot?"

Someone came here following the smell.

The acquaintances greeted each other and begged for a duck head, while those who were not familiar saw Tang Xuan avoiding him from afar.When encountering someone like Wu Zixu who is very familiar and shameless enough, he needs to add more bowls and chopsticks.

——Fortunately, Sinan had already prepared for it, and he couldn't guarantee anything else, the bottom of the pot and the dragon's beard noodles were enough.

Not only do you have to serve him vegetables and cook noodles, but you also have to teach him how to use gut finger cots just like a child.

"Yes, put it on your fingers like a cub, one for each finger. Cover it with your front hand and blow it, it's better to put it on."

Si Nan asked Mrs. Yu to help sew these finger cots. They are not sheep intestines, but the thin and tough casing outside. They are like the finger cots used to eat roast duck or crayfish in modern times. They can be put on your hands and you can eat them with confidence. Dry pot, roast duck, lamb chops, big bones.

It is very troublesome to clean sheep intestines. You can't throw them away after one use, but you can only sew them firmly, and boil them in boiling water after each use.

Sinan thought, if the store is put into use in the future, each member will be given a pair, which can be stored in the store for special use.

As for those more particular scholars who don't want to eat with their hands, that's fine. Sinan prepared a small wooden fork for them. The wooden fork and bamboo chopsticks are also considered a different kind of elegance.

The children are much more relaxed, and they will still suck their fingers after eating the duck head.The cubs sucked their paws like them, gnawed at the fur, and squeaked angrily.

Xiao Zai patted the little guy with a good temper, "I'm not angry, I don't have hands either!"

However, Si Nan also made him a pair of gloves, which were big and strong to fit on "Zai Zai's hand".The cub generously gave one to Tiao Cub.

The cub bites a hole.

Xiao Zai looked at Sinan guilty, and found that he didn't pay attention to this side, so he quickly put it away and hid it behind him.

Sinan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Wu Zixu saw it, bumped him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This meal is not for nothing, I invite you to have dinner at Wushui Building later, and bring all the children with you."

Si Nan understood what he meant, so he didn't say any words of gratitude, but just teased: "The Wushui banquet made by your family is not as delicious as mine, why should I go?"

Wu Zixu: ...

All friends!

Even thicker-skinned than Wu Zixu was Zhao Lingxi, who couldn't be beaten away.

As long as this girl is not with her elders, she will shed her acting skin and be more bold and unrestrained than men.

Sinan kindly handed her a pair of chopsticks, she couldn't hold them anymore after using them for a long time, so she just threw them away and grabbed them.

Simon... suddenly felt that this girl was pretty good.

Fan Xuan'er claimed to be reserved, so she didn't come over, she just played the piano and flute in the nearby flower shed - since she was ridiculed by Tang Xuan last time, she dropped the pipa and refused to play again.

Just play it, and even provoke Zhao Lingxi: "I heard from Princess Yan that the county magistrate of Yong'an is quite good at rhythm, and I don't know whether he is good at playing or playing or singing?"

——Princess Yan Guo told her about the government's intention to bestow Zhao Lingxi to Tang Xuan, so Fan Xuan'er classified Zhao Lingxi as a "bad person" like Sinan.

As everyone knows, she mentioned Princess Yan only to show that she has a background and someone she knows is noble. She never expected that Zhao Lingxi and Princess Yan would have a grudge.

If she didn't mention it, Zhao Lingxi didn't want to waste time on her at all, so mentioning it like this would be unbearable.

Zhao Lingxi grabbed half of the duck's head and mumbled, "I'm not very good at playing, playing, playing and singing. I haven't learned it since I was a child."

Fan Xuan'er pretended to be surprised, with an apologetic expression on her face, as if she felt that her shortcomings should not be mentioned, but she stammered: "I thought that the noble daughter of the clan had to study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting hard since she was a child, and she is good at everything..."

"You think it's wrong." Zhao Lingxi smiled mischievously, "Only those daughters of small households who want to increase their status and marry into a noble family will spend their minds on these fancy things-of course, those who really like it are not counted. ——The daughter of our Zhao family, even if she is a fool like you, she doesn't have to worry about finding a good husband, so where is the need for all this thought?"

Fan Xuan'er: ...

Can you make a fool of yourself?

Fan Xuan'er left in tears.

This girl claims to be reserved and noble, has received a good education, and will become the princess of Yan County in the future. She will definitely be able to handle the relationship with the wives and become the help of her husband.

Unexpectedly, before becoming a princess, Zhao Lingxi suffered the worst blow in 16 years.

Obviously Zhao Lingxi didn't bring a single dirty word, yet she said it so embarrassingly!

She couldn't continue playing, so Fan Xuan'er walked home in a soft sedan, crying all the way.

Although Liu'er didn't quite agree with her actions, she still felt sorry for her and comforted her in a low voice: "This is the case with King Yan County, the case with the Lord Yong'an County, and the princess Yan Guo, if you don't talk to me, don't talk to me Say, are the people of the royal family always so condescending and arrogant?"

Fan Xuan'er wept, she only hated herself for being talented, but her background was not good.

Liu'er persuaded: "Otherwise, forget it, my lady, don't think about the King of Yan County, just get married to Lord Erlang!"

Fan Xuan'er was naturally not reconciled, but there was nothing she could do. In her heart, she felt that what Liu'er said made sense, and if Tang Xuan really couldn't do it, then she would consider Di Yong.

Ugh!

A martial artist should be a martial artist, at least he is protected by his aunt, who will urge him to go out to make contributions in the future, but it's not that he can't be named a prince and king.

Just as he was thinking, the sedan chair suddenly bumped, as if it had been hit by something.

There were voices and horses neighing outside, as if negotiating.

Fan Xuan'er thought she had encountered a villain, her face turned pale with fright, she kept shrinking back, but pushed Liu'er, "Go out and have a look, if you are a villain, then run home and report."

Liu'er tremblingly said, "My lady, I'm afraid..."

Fan Xuan'er tremblingly said: "What's so scary about this? It's time for you to give your life to the master, hurry up, if you can go back smoothly, I will reward you with that silver bracelet you like."

At this time, a silver bracelet could not impress Liu Er, but it was Fan Xuan Er's pale face that made her make up her mind.

She gritted her teeth and lifted the curtain to go out.

Fan Xuan'er screamed: "Don't lift it so big, don't let people see me, quietly!"

Not only yelled, but also pushed her hard, Liu'er accidentally fell out.

In an instant, Liu'er's heart went cold.

Fortunately, what greeted her was not like a vicious robber, but a gentle gentleman.

"The one inside is Miss Fan?" Bai Ye asked with a smile, shaking his fan.

Liu'er's heart that had just been let go lifted up again, Daqiu waved her fan, and she didn't look like a good person, "You, don't mess around, we are in the residence of General Di, if you touch my wife, there will be no good results eat."

Bai Ye continued to shake his fan, "Miss misunderstood, I am the shopkeeper of Bailou, my surname is Bai Mingye, just now I was in a hurry and accidentally broke into my lady's sedan chair. If you don't mind, can I ask my lady to go to the building and wait for a while? Tell someone to repair the sedan chair."

Fan Xuan'er then lifted the curtain, turned her head to look, and there was indeed a white building next to her.Looking at Bai Ye again, he is gentle and elegant, with a happy smile, not like a shopkeeper of a restaurant, but like a scholar.

Maybe Bai Ye's looks were too good for her, so Fan Xuan'er almost nodded her head out of nowhere.

——She never expected that Bai Ye was waiting for her here on purpose, the carriage that hit the sedan chair was arranged in advance, and even the location of the crash was calculated in advance.

Upstairs, Bai Ye thoughtfully took her to the private room.

Bailou is the same as Fengyilou. It is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually a spacious courtyard. The courtyard imitates the style of Jiangnan gardens, with pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions, and exotic flowers and plants. It can be described as a scene at every step.

Fan Xuan'er looked at it, feeling kind and sad at the same time.

Bai Ye purposely led her down this road, pretending to be considerate and said: "I'm sorry, I made the lady sad, and Bai has made an apology."

Fan Xuan'er wiped away her tears weakly, and said: "Mr. Bai is serious, but he just thinks about his hometown and feels sad for a while."

"My lady's home is in Jiangning Mansion, right?"

"How did you know?"

"To tell you the truth, when Duke Fan was here, he had a business relationship with Bai, and Bai always respected him, but I didn't expect..." Bai Ye sighed heavily, looking very sad.

Such an attitude immediately won Fan Xuan'er's heart.

When they arrived in the private room, Fan Xuan'er was even more surprised, "This is my father's calligraphy and painting!"

Bai Ye pretended to be happy, "Xuan'er has good eyesight, she can recognize Fan Gong's calligraphy at a glance."

Fan Xuan'er was taken aback.

Bai Ye seemed to have just realized it, and hurriedly held up his hands to apologize, "Bai made a slip of the tongue at one time, I hope my lady will not blame me!"

Fan Xuan'er blushed and asked, "How do you know my boudoir's name?"

Bai Ye answered seamlessly, "When Mr. Fan was around, he often mentioned his wife, so Bai remembered it."

Sure enough, Fan Xuan'er was obviously close to him, "It turns out that you know my father so well, he is willing to tell you about me."

"Yes, from Fan Gong's words, Bai feels that the lady is very cute, and she has been fascinated for a long time...Bai has been abrupt again." Bai Ye made a look of annoyance, and lost his composure a little.

This appearance, on the contrary, greatly satisfied Fan Xuan'er's vanity, and she couldn't help letting go of her guard.

Bai Ye pretended to say: "If the lady feels inconvenient, Bai will find a woman to greet her."

Fan Xuan'er shyly said: "Since I'm an old acquaintance of my father, there's no need to stick to such vain etiquette."

Bai Ye shook his head regretfully, "Unfortunately, Bailou is not as thoughtful as Si's Hot Pot, and has recruited some ladies to welcome guests in the restaurant."

Fan Xuan'er was already dissatisfied with Si Nan, but what Bai Ye said aroused the disgust in her heart, "What good can you do?"

After finishing speaking, he felt inappropriate, and looked at Bai Ye embarrassedly.

A smile flashed across Bai Ye's eyes, but he said on his mouth: "Mrs. Bai knows what's on my lady's mind. If you need it, you can tell her to Mrs. Bai—you don't have to worry too much, Mrs. Fan took care of me a lot back then. Today you I met here, presumably it was arranged in the dark."

Fan Xuan'er's heart skipped a beat, "Can you really help me?"

Bai Ye opened the folding fan and put on a candid look, "I'll tell you the truth, if the matter involves King Yan and Si Dong's family, it will not only help you, but also help myself."

Saying this made Fan Xuan'er more at ease, "You also have personal grievances with them?"

"I can't talk about personal grievances. It's just that Sinan is relying on King Yan's support, and he doesn't follow the rules. Not only Bailou, but most of the restaurants in Bianjing City have been entrapped by him. Being able to suppress him is also considered a good deed."

Fan Xuan'er said: "What does it have to do with me?"

Bai Ye smiled slightly, approached her, and explained the plan in detail.

Fan Xuan'er frowned, "So what you're thinking about is Yan Yin from the Fan family!"

——Others thought that Yan Yin was in her hands, and this was also her biggest hole card.Unexpectedly, Bai Ye knew the truth!

Bai Ye calmly said: "No, just take back what belongs to you and me. When Fan Gong was here, he has been cooperating with me. Now that he is gone, Yan Yin is held in the hands of the second room. Not only the lady is not reconciled, Bai Ye A certain one is not reconciled."

——Relying on Fan Xuan'er's ignorance in salt affairs, he just talked nonsense.

Sure enough, Fan Xuan'er believed most of it, "You really have a way to win it from my second uncle?"

"After three days, my lady will just watch the results." Bai Ye said firmly.

"Just three days?" Fan Xuan'er was surprised but couldn't restrain her excitement, "What do I need to do?"

Bai Ye smiled gently, "I need a handwritten letter for Yan Yin; there is another thing, to solve Sinan."

"What's the matter?"

"As the referee of the Baiwei Competition, Mrs. Wei Wei of Dingguo has a seat. If the lady is interested, she can find a way to get it from her."

"You want me to sentence Si Nan to lose?"

Bai Ye smiled slightly, "No, let him win."

……

At the same time, Si's hot pot restaurant.

During the Double Ninth Festival, many regular customers book tables, and everyone is busy from the front hall to the back kitchen.However, Si Nan took his girlfriend and children out to enjoy themselves, leaving Yu Sanniang and Xiao Guo running upstairs and downstairs.

After finally taking a breath, a new customer came again.

The wind chime rang, and a faint fragrance of makeup and powder wafted in. You didn't need to look up to know that it was a female guest, so Yu Sanniang stood up hurriedly.

When he looked up, he met a pair of smiling eyes.

Can't help being surprised, "Why is Sister Yu here?"

Yu Meiren helped her tidy up her messy hair, and said kindly: "I should have come to see you a long time ago, but I have been busy in the building recently, so I haven't left."

Yu Sanniang bent her knees and said playfully, "I've heard about it, congratulations sister, you've been promoted to manager."

Poppy laughed, "What's so exciting? There are two or three people on the left and right...but
