Scheme of the Official Descendant

Chapter 137 Dragon Boat Race

No matter how good-tempered Yun Wenting was, he was a little angry after hearing this: "Second brother, what are you talking about?"

The corner of Yun Wenting's mouth curled, he glanced at Yun Wenting, raised his eyebrows and said, "Am I wrong? You were obviously very angry when you saw that Wu Yiyu bullying Xiao Jinglin just now. But when you stand in front of people, you still force yourself to give others Smiling face, and invited people to board the boat. Master Yun, aren't you tired?"

Yun Wenting pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, but he didn't get angry anymore. Instead, he asked calmly, "Oh? What if you do?"

Yun Wenfang tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and then said half-truthfully, "If her stick hits the person I like, I will kick her into the river. Then tell her 'Get out of here. Do not let the young master see you again! See you once and kick once!'."

Yun Wenting laughed when he heard the words, shook his head and looked at his younger brother tolerantly, as if looking at a wayward child: "You!"

Yun Wenfang raised his eyebrows: "What? You think I dare not?"

Yun Wenting shook his head, and said softly: "No, I know you dare." Yun Wenting was silent for a moment, "But you don't have to bear it, but the Yun family always needs someone to bear it."

Yun Wenting's voice was very soft, but still gentle. Yun Wenfang glanced at him, but couldn't utter any sarcasm.

After passing through the bridge hole, the painting boat was unimpeded along the way.

"I'm sorry to surprise you. I didn't expect to meet them." Xiao Jinglin said to Ren Yaoqi after sitting down in the painting boat.

Ren Yaoqi shook her head: "I'm fine."

Xiao Jinglin thought for a while, and said to Ren Yaoqi: "The woman just now is named Wu Yiyu, she is my aunt's only daughter, and she has always been at odds with me. Stay with me today... If you meet her in the future, do your best Avoid it, don't let yourself suffer."

Ren Yaoqi laughed: "Are you still worried that she will harm me, a pond fish? Don't worry, I won't stay in Yunyang City for a few days, and I don't go out much. I will go back to Baihe Town with the elders in a few days. I have a chance to meet this Miss Wu."

Xiao Jinglin felt that she was right, so she nodded and said nothing more.

The boat sailed north along the river in the city, and after about a stick of incense, it gradually slowed down. The voices of the boat lady and people came from outside, and it should have arrived at the gate of the city, and there were people stationed here. Yunyang City is regarded as the most important town in Yanbei, with sufficient troops to defend the city. However, because the waterways are seldom used by people, the defenders of the north and south gates are half less than the defenders of the four gates.

Xiao Jinglin took out a handwriting-like thing from her sleeve and gave it to her maid, asking her to take it out. He sat by the window by himself.

The defenders outside naturally knew that the person who could go through the north gate so blatantly must be a member of the palace, so they were very polite during the routine interrogation. After seeing the handwritten letter that the maid took out, they caught a glimpse of Xiao Jinglin sitting by the window With a side face, he immediately bowed and ordered his subordinates to open the gate and go.

The painting boat successfully left the city from the river in the inner city, and the river for sailing gradually widened. Xiao Jinglin ordered the servant girl to open the curtains on both sides of the boat, so that the people in the boat could have a panoramic view of the scene outside.

The sun shines on the broad river surface, like a layer of fine golden light, sparkling and dazzling. The wind blowing in from the window carried some watery moisture, which was not pleasant to say the least, but it made people feel refreshed.

The further you go out of the city, the thicker the greenery on both sides of the river becomes.

Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin looked at the window on one side, as if they were attracted by other scenery outside, neither of them spoke, and they were often silent when they were together.

Until Xiao Jinglin ordered: "Just stop here."

Ren Yaoqi withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Jinglin.

Xiao Jinglin showed a rare smile: "I caught a few fish before you came today, and the people in the restaurant have already cleaned them up. Let's have instant pot at noon?" For some reason, Ren Yaoqi felt that Xiao Jinglin talked about eating Her eyes were bright, although her tone was still calm, Ren Yaoqi felt that she was happy.

"Okay. I haven't eaten this for a long time." Ren Yaoqi said with a smile.

The instant pot is a hollow copper vessel, the hollow part in the middle is used to place charcoal fire, and the big "belly" around the outside is used to hold soup. After the soup is boiled, you can put raw meat or vegetables in it and cook it.

The common people in Yanbei often eat this in winter. It is warm and convenient, and it is also lively when the family sits around a table. The aristocrats of the aristocratic family also occasionally eat this, and the servants who do it are the servant girls. If it is used for a banquet, there is a pot in front of each person, or you can do it yourself.

The boat stopped on the shore, and Hongying and another servant girl brought things in from outside one after another, including a copper pot, a charcoal fire, sliced ​​fish, mutton, meatballs, and some side dishes. It is much simpler than what Ren Yaoqi ate at home before.

When one end of the soup pot comes in, the whole boat is filled with a special fragrance that makes people unable to hold back their index fingers.

Ren Yaoqi's eyes also lit up.

While arranging the dishes by herself, Xiao Jinglin said, "I got the soup from Zuixianju."

The pot in Zuixianju belongs to the entire Yanbei civilization, but...

"I remember that Zuixianju doesn't seem to sell takeaway food?" Ren Yaoqi asked curiously.

Some well-known restaurants and restaurants in places like Kyoto have some weird rules, but the more weird the rules, the more they are praised by some famous families and friends, thinking it is a kind of elegance. Few people will use their power to break the rules set by the store. Of course, there are also some people who don't follow the rules, but such people are generally from upstart families who don't understand the rules, and they will be despised and ridiculed if they speak out.

Xiao Jinglin's two servant girls lowered their heads and silently set the dishes.

Xiao Jinglin said indifferently: "Oh, I asked the guards to go directly to their back kitchen to grab it. It's just a pot of soup, and it's not like I don't want to pay money."

"..."

Xiao Jinglin didn't notice the faces of the crowd, she frowned and told the servant girl, "I want chili sauce, not sesame paste."

Seeing Xiao Jinglin's appearance, Ren Yaoqi laughed suddenly, and put the bottom material in front of Xiao Jinglin: "This is for you, we will change it."

Xiao Jinglin waved her hands to make the maids back down, not letting them help with serving dishes, and started to do it herself. The clothes she is wearing today have arrow sleeves, so it is very convenient to move around. Without calling Ren Yaoqi, he put the fresh fish into the pot, rinsed it back and forth twice, put it in the bowl and started eating.

Ren Yaoqi's sleeves are wide sleeves, which is not very convenient to move. Apple leaned over and said: "Miss, this servant is waiting for you."

Ren Yaoqi shook her head, took a few slices of fish slowly, and used her left hand to roll up the sleeve of her right hand like she practiced calligraphy and painting on weekdays, and the soup started to boil.

When she did this action, she was as elegant as writing and drawing, but the action of scalding meat was no stranger than Xiao Jinglin, and she was very contented.

Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but stop what she was doing, and looked at Ren Yaoqi in surprise.

Ren Yaoqi blinked at her, and then put the fish into her mouth.

When Ren Yaoqi went to pick up the meat again, Xiao Jinglin came to her senses and continued to eat, not to be outdone.

Xiao Jinglin's meal was still the same as last time, very fast, and the people watching couldn't help but increase their appetite.

The two of them kept silent and buried their heads in eating. They ate deliciously and sweated profusely, very happy.

When everything on the table was almost eaten, Xiao Jinglin couldn't help laughing at Ren Yaoqi: "This time I ate really happily."

Ren Yaoqi smiled: "Thank you Princess for thinking of me every time I eat delicious food."

The last time the two of them met, Xiao Jinglin took her to eat stewed donkey meat, and this time they ate the instant pot she snatched. It's a unique experience that will never be forgotten.

Xiao Jinglin was in a good mood, and she talked more: "You are different from them."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "Why is it different?"

Xiao Jinglin tilted her head and thought for a while, then frowned childishly: "Dining with you is very comfortable. Fortunately, I invited you here today, if Xiao Jingxi came here, he must be more disciplined than a woman! Let people see him eat and he will be full."

Facing Xiao Jinglin's complaints, Ren Yaoqi could only pretend not to hear, although she was actually laughing hard.

But she really couldn't imagine Xiao Jingxi's sweaty potty eating, she thought he should not eat, not go to the toilet, and just smell the incense every day.

After the two had finished eating, they talked for a while, when Ren Yaoqi suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers and drums beating on the river not far away, and she couldn't help but looked out strangely.

Xiao Jinglin said: "The dragon boat race is about to start, should our boat go there too?"

Ren Yaoqi nodded: "It's the first time I've come here, it's fine for the Princess to be the master."

"Xiao Jinglin." Xiao Jinglin waved her hand to ask the maid to order the boat maid to row the boat, then turned her head and said to Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood, nodded with a smile and said, "I will call you Jinglin when no one is around, and you call me Yaoqi, okay?"

The corners of Xiao Jinglin's mouth hooked slightly, her smile was very light: "Okay."

The venue of the dragon boat race is the same every year, with a high platform on the shore at the start and end, decorated with red silk, lanterns, and seating tables. After the boat sailed for another quarter of an hour, Ren Yaoqi saw the high platform on the table.

Xiao Jinglin asked the boat lady to park the boat near the shore with a good view. Ren Yaoqi looked out of the window and could see Mr. Han and an old man of his age sitting on the high platform having a good conversation. , Mr. Ren is also on top, but he doesn't sit at the top like Mr. Han.
