Four in the same order

After Cang Zhu reported the name of the dish, there was no sound, only the melodious sound of Sheng from the psychic tree remained.The melodious Sheng Le quickly calmed Ran Heng's anger, and the food on the table was delicious. After tossing for a long time, he was really hungry again, so Ran Heng opened his stomach and ate.

There is a faint spiritual power in every meal, and Ranheng, who is also a Qingyang spiritualist, is very clear about the origin of this spiritual power, because it is the Qingyang spiritualist who is in charge of the spoon. Infused with flavor.

Just think about who will prepare their meals. Even though Ranheng has a lot of dissatisfaction with Cang Zhushicai's words and deeds, he has to admit that the meals he cooks can be called "Jiamiao" in terms of color, fragrance and shape—— —It’s just that the taste of the matching menu is a bit poor.

Ran Heng didn't have the habit of talking during meals, so she didn't notice Xue Dai's abnormality until she was half full.From the time she sat on the chair opposite Ranheng, Xuedai kept her head down and said nothing. Later, when the sheng music was played, she didn't get better. Instead, she became more preoccupied, and she completely lost her innocent appearance before.

"Xuedai, isn't the food to your liking?"

Ranheng felt a little sorry, she only cared about eating happily, but she didn't realize that Xuedai didn't even move her chopsticks twice.The people of their Qingyang country pursue the original taste of ingredients, but the people of other countries are not like this. Even though Xuedai's seal is special, she is closer to Baizang and Xuanying, so what she likes is probably not a bland vegetarian food. It is mountain delicacies or seafood with rich flavor and meat.

"No... I'm used to it, and it's all delicious."

Xuedai was thinking hard about a question that made her very confused. She originally wanted to ask Ranheng directly, but just now seeing that Ranheng was all focused on the food and didn't pay attention to her at all, she suddenly didn't want to ask for some reason.

"Then why do you eat so little? A little candy doesn't fill your stomach that much."

Even though Ran Heng didn't waver at the idea of ​​breaking off the bond with Xue Dai in the future, she didn't plan to treat Xue Dai badly during the time they maintained their bond.

She coaxed the red sandalwood hairpin left by Ran Xun to come here, not because she was afraid that Xue Dai would speak ill of her behind her back, but because she was afraid that Ran Xun would contact Xue Dai in private to teach something she should not teach.

"Just... busy thinking about things, and didn't take care of the food."

Xuedai still hasn't learned to lie, and gave up resisting when questioned.

"What are you thinking? Why don't you just ask me?"

There are still more than half of the dishes on the table, it would be a big waste not to help Xuedai regain her appetite.

"I'm afraid to disturb you to eat..."

"Don't worry about that. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me at any time." If someone else asked, she wouldn't feel at ease.

Hearing what Ranheng said, Xuedai felt a lot more comfortable, and then she raised her head and said: "Then I asked...but you listened, don't be angry..."

Ranheng urged: "What's there to be angry about? Ask quickly, and eat well after asking."

After eating, they can leave Dingshixuan.

Xuedai straightened up and stared at Ranheng closely with her clear eyes: "That's...that...'Love to grow old'...Can it also be used between us?"

"..." She actually understood the meaning of this word!

Ranheng was at a loss for words for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to look away, but she was afraid that Xuedai would see her flaws and endured it.

"When...Of course I can, think about it...Best friends, don't you have a long-term friendship with like-minded friends? Isn't this the same as loving each other and loving each other until old age?"

Ran Heng almost believed it.

"That makes sense..." Xuedai nodded, seeming to agree with Ran Heng's statement, but she didn't stop asking questions, "Then 'Qin Se He Ming' and 'New People' have similar meanings? And the names of these dishes, Sounds like a couple, are these the must-order dishes when making new friends?"

"...yes and no."

It's hard to tell a lie, and I'm tired.

"What is yes and no?"

Xue Dai was not satisfied with this ambiguous answer.

Ran Heng took a sip from the teacup, letting the rich tea fragrance wash away her uneasy feeling: "You will understand one day, but not now, so now... just think so."

Ranheng also wants to tell Xuedai the truth, but Xuedai knows too few people now. Even if she teaches Xuedai the knowledge of love, it will be difficult for Xuedai to distinguish the difference between love and friendship in a short time. It is possible to confuse the relationship between them, which is harmful rather than beneficial.

"It must be because I'm too stupid to comprehend right away..."

Thinking of the failed attempt on the wooden cart, Xuedai began to reflect on herself.

"Everything has a process, don't be too impatient, and don't look down on yourself too much." Ranheng didn't want to dampen Xuedai's enthusiasm for seeking knowledge, and quickly comforted him, "Rather than waste a lot of time thinking about things that you can't think about at all. If you understand something, it’s better to enjoy the present to the fullest. If you don’t use your chopsticks, the food will be cold. This meal can cover my expenses for more than ten days, and it will be a mess if I don’t eat more.”

"...Mmm!" Xuedai nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and said boldly to the table of sumptuous food, "Don't worry, I will eat up the rest!"

Ran Heng supported his forehead, and then instructed: "Everything should be done in moderation."

She didn't want to leave Dingshixuan and send someone to Xinglintang.

After finishing their meals, Ran and Xue rested for a while before leaving Songsheng Zhaoying and boarding Dengxianyin again.Before leaving, Ranheng took back all the spiritual power she had poured into the wooden door outside the hall, and also handed over the control of the wooden door to Dingshixuan.

Deng Xian led the two back from the seventh floor to the first floor, but the door opened was not the north door leading to the main hall, but the opposite south door.

There is only a long walkway outside the south gate. The two of them stepped on the smooth conveyor belt, and when they reached the end of the passage, they saw a carriage with the Dingshixuan logo and chopsticks painted on it—they came to the back door of Dingshixuan. And this carriage was prepared by Cang Zhu for the two before leaving Dingshixuan.

It is close to Xia Wu at this time, when the yang energy is the most prosperous and the yin energy is the weakest, although Xue Dai does not seem to have any discomfort, but considering that she is born with a yin-kun body with weak yang, Ranheng decisively gave up The original plan of walking back to Huihui Street to take public transportation.

The next stop for the two is Zhulangwan, Beishi, the outer city. It takes about [-] minutes to drive from Dongshi to Beishi. The scenery along the way is beautiful, but this time Xuedai didn't look out the window during the whole process—because she didn't get on the bus for long fell asleep.

Even though the roads in the eastern part of the outer city were smooth and the carriage was running smoothly enough, seeing that Xuedai was sleepy, Ran Heng got up to make room for the main seat, and let Xuedai sleep on her side, sleeping more comfortably.

After helping Xuedai take off the curtain, Ranheng took another soft pillow and put it under Xuedai's neck, then sat down on the second seat by the window with peace of mind, took out the ring seal and reminded the owner of Jinxiufang that she would use her private Visit with companions.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the carriage arrived at the station in Beishi. Ranheng woke up Xuedai and walked into Zhulang Bay with her.

Different from Huihui Street, which belongs to Qingyang, Zhulangwan, which is managed by Beiguo Xuanying, is the only port market in Taiyi City. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, kites are flying and fish are jumping, and most of the hawkers and shops are yin-hating and yang-hating. Xuanying and Baizang are natives, so noon is actually the most deserted time in Zhulangwan.

If Huihui Street is compared to the gathering of "food" in the spiritual place, then Zhulangwan is the culmination of "clothes" in the spiritual place.

The mysterious British people who live in the deep seabed without seeing the sun all day long have a feminine temperament and delicate thoughts. The clothes they sew are like piercing the moon and cutting clouds, which is extremely ingenious; and the mysterious British spirits can freely control the pervasive moist water. Small water droplets are poured into the thread of the needle, so that the needle and thread can quickly outline a fine garment with lightning speed, which greatly saves labor and time.

There are many sails and masts on the shore of Zhulang Bay, and the merchant ships are like clouds. However, most of the cloth shops and silk shops that are not open all day long have not put down the springboard at this time. Compared with the storefronts, they are more like a scenery in the harbor.

But among the many unopened ships, there are two gorgeous painting boats connected end to end, laying flat on the gangplank, with flags flying high. This is the place where Ranheng and Xuedai rushed to—Xuanying Kingdom’s state-run Cloth Line Splendid Boat.

The public buildings in Taiyi City regard nine as sacred, eight as auspicious, and seven as precious, but there are only twelve buildings in the entire city with more than seven floors and layouts of Guangsha Wanjian—they are The "four pillars" of clouds, sun, moon, and stars connecting the sky and the earth, the "four supplies" of medicine, engineering, education, and agriculture that provide resources, and the "four needs" of food, transportation, housing, and clothing that meet the needs—the four pillars are holy, and the four Supply is auspicious, four needs are expensive, and each of the four countries occupies a leading place.

Dingshixuan with seven floors is the "expensive food" among the four needs, and Jinxiufang is the "noble clothing" with the same status. However, it is inconvenient to build a seven-story painting boat, so Jinxiufang is composed of multiple buildings. plate.

Yang rises from the left, and Yin descends from the right, so Qingyang and Zhu Ming respect the left, while Baizang and Xuanying respect the right.The two painting boats released by Jinxiufang also follow this principle, so civilians and rich people without official and power can only enter the painting boat on the left, while the one on the right can only enter the powerful and elite who benefit the people.

The painting boat on the left is called "Sijiake". The first floor is for guidance, checkout, and the "drape and untie belt" hall for selecting cloth and accessories. The second and third floors are composed of four private rooms for Tailor-made clothes for common people and rich people, and a branch hall for enjoying the scenery—the two-story branch halls are respectively searched for by "dancing shirts", "singing fans", "love quilts", "tired pillows", "singing zithers", "playing the harp" and "yangqin". Chanting' as the name.

The painting boat on the right is called "Voice of Heartfelt Love", and the distribution and functions of each floor are the same as those of Scarlett, except that the hall on the first floor is called "Zhenyi Zhuozuo", and the second and third floors are used by the dignitaries and elites. The halls are named after "One Fragrance", "One Trace Gauze", "One Dendrobium Pearl", "Yi Ting Shuang", "Hua Ping Chun", "Slow Drum and Flute", "Reminder in front of the Palace" and "Cloud and Mist Convergence".

However, Ranheng brought Xuedai to the outside of the Jinxiu boat, passed the two boats, and walked straight towards a giant eight-foot fish floating on the wide water surface on the right side of Fu Xinqing.

The giant fish's head is covered with a two-cornered steel helmet, shaped like a red koi carp, and sitting on its back is a black-haired woman with a light gauze, a Huasheng crown, and a knot between her eyebrows.The woman was wearing a breast-length skirt with a black snail color pattern embroidered on the collar, wearing a black crystal ring badge carved on the ring face. She was about double ten years old, with a good face, long and narrow eyes and an upturned tail. From the beginning, with an innate charming posture.

The black-haired woman was the fourth-generation head of Jinxiufang that Ranheng had contacted in advance, Qi Chuo from the Qi family, one of Xuanying's four famous families.

The giant fish carrying Qi Chuo is the ancient rare beast Hengmao that was lucky enough to be tamed by Qi Wei, the ancestor of the Qi family, when he was alive. When he caught sight of Ran Heng's figure, Qi Chuo immediately jumped off from behind the Hengmao, stepping on the rapidly rising water waves Flicking down to the shore, Chaoran and Xue bowed their knees and saluted: "Jinxiufang's new director Qi Chuo, congratulations to Lord Qingyang for forming a happy marriage with his heaven-sent couple."

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.Hearing too many similar words in one day, Ran Heng has already started to feel numb, she nodded her head in gratitude with a calm face, and she still had time to tease herself in her heart: Go to Yujingtai to make a relationship, the whole world thinks I am married , next, do I have to hold a wedding banquet to receive gifts?
