Mu Shi came to Gusu when the Chinese New Year was about to come, of course it couldn't be as simple as coming to Jia Zhu to catch up with each other.

However, he really didn't expect that girl Jia Ying would actually come to Gusu.

In his lifetime, he finally saw a person who was more reckless than himself, and especially good at following his own wishes to the greatest extent possible, without hiding his surprise. Mu Shi stared at him for a while and became interested.

He also knew in his heart that the person opposite was definitely not a little girl, and he came from the same world as Chen Wendao, so he easily accepted the fact that the other party would come and ride alone for a friend.

Jia Zhu is still busy at the meeting, and he is not in a hurry to meet. Seeing Jia Ying like this, he became interested for a while, wondering how she managed to come to Gusu without making a sound.

After looking at her carefully for a while, he was very patient, half explaining, half apologizing: "I didn't mean to lie to you, half of what I said was indeed my fault."

This patch was very clumsy, Jia Ying caged the cloak and snorted coldly.

Jia Lan was completely dazed by the side, but it was time to go to the official school again, so he had to walk back step by step.

Jia Ying couldn't wait to see this person more and more. In this year, he first came to test her about Chen Wendao's affairs, and then deliberately half-spoken. It was really different from everyone she saw after she came to this world.

There are also many deviations from the Mu Shi in previous memories.

She frowned, she had a good impression of him before, although she always looked indifferent to everything, at least for her who was a child at that time, she was calm and funny.

Looking at the notes in his books, she probably understood that this man was not as stubborn and idle as others said.

Jia Ying has always been straightforward, simple and rude.This will confuse him and take revenge with a snowball face. In fact, the anger in his heart has almost dissipated, but he still doesn't want to say more, and he turns to enter the room, but he is caught by the other party's sudden words.

"To make amends, I'll take you to eat."

The man smiled casually: "You've been here for so long, haven't you ever gone out?"

The temptation to go out was too great. She turned around, and the other party smiled calmly and naturally, as if she was confident about everything and didn't care much.

Seeing Jia Ying turned around, he wasn't surprised, nor did he have the slightest smug look on his face. Instead, he talked to her very naturally, and said seriously: "However, since I took you out like this, Shan Duan may not be able to deal with me. You need to change your attire."

Jia Ying was considered taller among her peers, and it only reached his chest, so she had to look up at him, thought for a while, and then nodded slowly.

Lu Ren and Lu Changsui walked slowly, with a strange expression on their faces, hesitant to speak.

He secretly looked at the two people walking side by side in front of him, pondered for a long time, but gave up thinking.

He will play mahjong on flower boats to earn travel expenses, hold grand banquets for local officials, take preserved fruit and coarse salt, and force them to write treasury IOUs. It's not something a normal person like him can understand.

It was already the twelfth lunar month at this time, but there was no shortage of people on the road. There were many people shopping for New Year’s goods on the street. For the goods, the snow in the road has been shoveled to the side of the road, and many shops have built snowmen, holding all kinds of strange things in their hands.

The term "year taste" is actually very subtle.This illusory atmosphere, which you can't even describe in detail, will easily make people quicken their pace, and when they want to rush to their warm home, Jia Ying is already missing everything in the capital as she walks.

Stir-fried belly kernels with salt, deep-fried bells in double sauce, silver shredded beef... These are the specialty dishes of several local chefs in Rongguo Mansion.

I don't know what those four little girls are doing now, Jia Ying thought, since she is not in Beijing, they will naturally relax, and now it is Chinese New Year, they must be eating wine and playing cards.

Jia Ying remembered again that the old lady had promised her before that she would find someone to bring some fireworks for them to set off by themselves during the Chinese New Year this year.

Yingchun and Tanchun are timid, they must play the kind of gentle and harmless little fireworks, but Sister Feng loves big firecrackers the most.

It's snowing in Gusu, it should be thicker in Beijing...

She patted her face, it was rare to come out, she really shouldn't think about this, so she recovered her senses and obediently followed Mu Shi.

They didn't walk fast. Although Mu Shi looked at the road ahead, he seemed to have opened his eyes. As long as she showed interest in something, he would lead her to look at it first.After a while, I saw the restaurant where Daojin's family came and went, and there was a small stall in front of the building, which specializes in making pastries that can be taken away. When the steamer was opened, the snow-white mist rose.

In fact, Jia Ying had already eaten her lunch, and she was still hungry after seeing all this. The cook in the mansion had heavy hands, and he used everything to thicken the sugar. She really couldn't bear it, so she didn't use much.

After coming to Gusu, apart from being in the official residence, Jia Ying was not unaccustomed to eating. The taste of the food in Lin's Mansion was not much different from that in Rongguo Mansion.

Rongguo Mansion has not been in Beijing for a long time, and most of the people in the mansion are from Jinling. Not to mention the cooks brought over from the old house in Jinling, they are the masters hired later in the capital. , not authentic Beijing flavor.

Jia Ying has good eyesight, so she recognized it at a glance. This shop is one of the most famous and old shops in Gusu City that Daiyu told her before. Jia Min likes the Sanding buns here the most.

Surprisingly, Mu Shi didn't stay here, but led her into the alley next to the shop.

Jia Ying couldn't help but said, "I thought you were going to take me to the next door."

The alley was not narrow enough to allow the two of them to walk side by side, but the distance was a little closer.

Mu Shi laughed, turned his head and said to her: "Don't you know that when the store grows bigger, the taste will change. It's rare to take you out. If you go there, it will be boring. But, I'm afraid you will be disappointed , I'm not going to take you to eat authentic dishes here."

Hearing what he said, Jia Ying suddenly remembered that when he was at Qingxuguan, this person bought some strange food from somewhere all day long, but they all tasted good.

Later, when she went back home, Jia Zhu went out and asked her what she wanted to bring. She described it as she remembered, but Jia Zhu couldn't find it at all.

Jia Ying couldn't help laughing: "I don't care. If I really want to pursue authenticity, can you still take me to eat roast duck?" The roast duck in the capital is actually passed from here.

Hearing her words, Mu Shi didn't even refute. Instead, he pretended to be thinking seriously, and said after a while, "If you really want to, we can go to Jinling by boat now, and there is still time."

Jia Ying glanced at him, "If you're not afraid of being beaten to death by my elder brother."

She didn't realize that this way of getting along was already the same as it was during the half month in Qingxuguan.

After hearing her words, Mu Shi suddenly thought of something.People who never forget to say "my sister will definitely like this" and "bring some of this" when going out.

He always followed his own thoughts when doing things, and when he saw that she was about to turn around and leave, he immediately said that he wanted to take her out.

After learning about "Dream of Red Mansions", he would always separate Jia Baoyu and Jia Ying.

It wasn't until now that he realized that he seemed to have accidentally abducted Jia Zhu's sister, and even encouraged her to go to Jinling with him just now.

Mu Shi: "..."

He looked at the sky in the alley speechlessly, and said after a long time: "Forget it, anyway, I haven't seen him angry for a long time."

Jia Ying stood in the hall and looked around curiously for a while, it was obvious that this was just an ordinary private house.

Mu Shi and the old gentleman were very familiar. The two seemed to have been apart for a long time. After talking, the old gentleman noticed Jia Ying on the side.

The old man looked at the handsome young man who looked like a girl in the red python and white fox armpit arrow sleeves, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is this?"

Jia Ying lowered her voice and said generously, "Hi, I'm his nephew."

Mu Shi: "..."

When the old man turned around to go to work, Mu Shi lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you agree with your distant cousin?"

Jia Ying smiled and said nothing, turned around and sat down.

Mu Shi was at a loss for words for a while, so he had to sit opposite her, and he was already very familiar with lifting the teapot by the table and ironing two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Jia Ying was very satisfied with the other party's reaction, and finally let go of the stalk, curiously said: "This is a private house."

Mu Shi set the table and chopsticks, and said casually: "Of course he didn't pay for the food here, but I had already booked this table. You were lucky enough to bring it along the way."

Jia Ying didn't take it seriously, but nodded. In her previous life, when private cooking was popular, she also joined in the fun with her good friends a few times, and she only thought that this place was also of this type.Then he said, "So, what did you bring me to eat?"

Mu Shi laughed: "I don't know either, he is very weird, everything depends on his mood."

After finishing speaking, Mu Shi seemed to have just remembered, and asked, "I'm curious, how did you come to Gusu?"

Jia Ying said: "I sneaked into the luggage box. When the eldest brother found out, he was already on the boat and couldn't go back, so he brought me here."

Mu Shi only nodded, knowing that it was not that simple, but he didn't ask further.

Jia Ying raised her eyebrows: "You haven't answered me yet, why did you come to Gusu?"

Mu Shi suddenly laughed, and said mysteriously, "You will know in a few days."

Jia Ying was very dissatisfied with this kind of trickery, before she could say anything, her attention was attracted by the aroma from the back room.Her eyes lit up.

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "The Buddha jumped over the wall."
