Shen Ruolan knew that Zhang Eryong's family was not rich, and there was still a lot of famine in the family, otherwise he would not be able to go hunting in the mountains during the New Year's Eve, just for this, she couldn't bear to eat him cruelly, so she chose a noodle restaurant with an ordinary appearance , only said that he wanted to eat braised noodles.
For Zhang Eryong, braised noodles are delicious, so he had no doubts about Shen Ruolan's choice, so he went into the noodle restaurant with her and found a quiet place to sit down.
After sitting down, Shen Ruolan asked, "What do you eat?"
Zhang Eryong said: "I can eat anything, you can order it, you can order whatever you want, don't save money for me." As he said, he patted his bag and smiled innocently, "Don't worry, I have money. enough."
Seeing his silly appearance, Shen Ruolan almost laughed out. She was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so she suppressed her smile. She called the assistant, asked a simple question, and said to Zhang Eryong, "It's okay to eat pork and braised noodles." good?"
"Okay, Ruolan, you can eat whatever you say."
"Well."
Shen Ruolan turned to the guy next to her, and said, "Two bowls of braised noodles with pork, big bowls."
While waiting for an interview, Zhang Eryong suddenly stood up and said, "Ruolan, I remembered that I still have something to do, so go out for a while and be right back."
Shen Ruolan said: "We'll be eating right away, if there's anything else we can do together after dinner!"
"Don't delay the meal, I'll go." Zhang Eryong said.
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Shen Ruolan didn't insist anymore, considering that he might be in a hurry and was too embarrassed to tell her clearly, she just told him to go and come back quickly.
Not long after Zhang Eryong left, two bowls of hot stewed noodles were served, two bowls full of white and thin noodles, topped with fragrant meat stew, a spoonful of peanuts, a spoonful of finely chopped green onions, It is fragrant, beautiful and delicious.
The boy Zhang Eryong hadn't come back yet, and Shen Ruolan didn't show any courtesy to him, so she picked up the chopsticks and started eating by herself.
Anyway, that silly boy eats fast, even if he eats late, he can catch up with him. If they eat together, he will have to wait for him to finish eating first. Instead of that, it's better for her to eat first, and then the two of them will finish eating together.
After one third of the noodles were eaten, Zhang Eryong came back, his face was reddish, he was out of breath, he didn't know where he went, and he ran in such a hurry.
Shen Ruolan raised her head, smiled, and said, "Sorry, I'm hungry, I ate first, I didn't wait for you."
Zhang Eryong hurriedly said, "It's all right."
He was happy to see her eat it.
It was because he was afraid that she would wait for him that he ran in such a hurry. Now that she had eaten, he felt relieved.
So he also sat down, holding the bowl with one hand and chopsticks with the other, stirred the brine in the noodles, and began to send it to his mouth, just gobbled it up...
Zhang Eryong ate very fast, although he ate later, he quickly caught up with Shen Ruolan. In the end, the two of them finished eating the noodles together.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Zhang Eryong called the waiter to pay the bill. Two large bowls of braised pork noodles cost eighteen Wen in total. Zhang Eryong counted the money, settled the bill, and left the noodle shop with Shen Ruolan.
"Ruolan, I have nothing else to do now, so I'll accompany you shopping in the afternoon."
Thinking of going shopping with her, Zhang Eryong felt very sweet in his heart, and he smiled inadvertently when he spoke.
Regarding Zhang Eryong's proposal, Shen Ruolan was still a little apprehensive. She would buy a lot of things in a while and would cost a lot of money. Will the fool be surprised when he sees her strong purchasing power
Of course, from a safety point of view, she still hopes to have him with her. She will spend a lot of money later, if some rogue thief targets her, wouldn't it be troublesome? With him around, even those monsters would not dare to provoke her.
After weighing it up, she still decided to let Zhang Eryong be with her. At worst, she would tell a lie later to cover up the money matter. Anyway, since she came to this world, she has told countless lies, and she doesn't care about one more. .
They went to Heji Buzhuang first, and it was still the gentle and kind woman who received them.
I haven't seen her for a few months, the female shopkeeper is still the same, but Shen Ruolan's image has undergone a huge change. If Shen Ruolan doesn't mention it, she really can't recognize her.
The two exchanged a few words, Shen Ruolan chose a few bolts of high-quality cotton cloth, and made a cotton coat and trousers for her father, two sets of underwear and trousers, and a pair of cotton shoes, and made two sets for each of their father and daughter The new quilts cost one, two, two and six cents in total.
Same as last time, Bu Zhuang made clothes and quilts for her for free, which was regarded as a discount for her, and the change would not be waived for her.
Shen Ruolan is rich now, and she is not short of the few cents. She paid the bill neatly, made an appointment to pick up the goods in eight days, and left the cloth village with Zhang Eryong.
Afterwards, she went to the bookstore again and bought seven or eight books in one go, all of which were books with many rare words.
Buying these books is not for reading the above content, but for literacy and writing. She has already recognized a lot of characters, but there are still many characters that she does not know. If you can learn more, at least you can know the commonly used characters and write them down, so you won’t be an illiterate and blind!
In addition to buying books, she also bought an inkstone. It turned out that the second-hand Duan inkstone was broken by Qi Metamorphosis in Ruanrou Township, so she had to buy another one.
Looking back at that time, such a thick stone inkstone was smashed to pieces by that pervert. The skill of that guy, tsk tsk...
Probably from that moment on, she began to be afraid of him, and she was terrified when she saw him, and she was afraid to avoid him.
Fortunately, he has become a thing of the past, and he will never interact with her again...
**
On a certain path leading to the capital, a two-horse cart was speeding along the path. Seven or eight men on tall horses guarded the car from front to back, left, and right. While driving at high speed, be vigilant at all times.
In the car, a man in a brocade black robe was reclining lazily on the couch, casually flipping through the letters that had just been delivered from Jizhou.
Turning over, his hand froze.
A letter with the words 'Minister Shen Ruolan pays homage to His Royal Highness King Zhan' appeared in front of her eyes.
is her!
She actually wrote to him
Although he was still angry at her rejection and rejection, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity, opened the envelope, and pulled out the letter inside.
At the first glance, he frowned in disgust: This word is so ugly!
However, as he looked down slowly, the disgust in his eyes slowly disappeared, replaced by a faint smile.
Unexpectedly, this girl's handwriting is not very good, but the content is quite touching, and the literary talent is not bad. She vividly describes the sufferings of those girls. How many tears are shed!
Fortunately, he is a hard-hearted person, and he doesn't have a deep understanding of the pain of others. No matter how touching her letter is, he can't move him.
However, even if he had no sympathy, he would have already sent people to rescue those abducted women. These women are all his subjects, and he has the responsibility to save them.
Of course, it's just responsibility, not compassion.
The fact that this girl can write to him proves that she is sympathetic. She escaped by herself and never forgets to help the sisters in distress. It can be seen that she is a kind and righteous person, but she is a little ruthless towards him!
Thinking of her rejection and dislike for him, a certain person showed a bit of displeasure on his face, but he still lazily said, "Luo Cheng!"
With a random sound, the back of the man closest to the car was instantly straightened.
"The subordinates are here!"
"Has the kidnapped woman from Wusun been rescued?"
"Returning to the master, Yingzhan is still in the rescue, but those girls have been sold to various parts of Wusun. It is difficult to find them, but we have found quite a few..."
"Um."
There was a sound in the car, and there was no more sound.
Luo Cheng listened carefully for a while, and seeing that there was no movement in the car, he must have nothing to say, so he raised his head and concentrated on his journey.
In order to return to the capital as soon as possible, they did not take the official road, but took the small road. Although the small road was close, it was bumpy and bumpy. They had suffered a lot in the past few days, and they even spent the New Year's Day on the road.
However, the distance can be shortened by one-third if you take the path, and you will be able to reach the capital in seven or eight days.
The master hasn't been back for three years, the empress dowager and the emperor miss him very much, and they usually send a letter every three days, and a bunch of rewards every five days.
Moreover, the master has also reached the age of marrying a concubine. This time the queen mother hurriedly summoned him back, not only to recount the relationship between mother and son, but also to help him solve lifelong affairs.
The master is already twenty-five years old. At this age, other princes must already have children in groups. A prince like him who is still alone is the only one in the world.
It's not that the master rejects marrying a concubine. He didn't marry a concubine before, because the master was rejected by the previous emperor, and all the officials in the court are like men. Who would want to marry their daughter to a prince who the emperor hates? Maybe this unpopular prince will be unlucky one day, and their whole family will also be unlucky.
Furthermore, the late emperor didn't want to take care of his affairs, and the queen mother knew the late emperor's attitude, so she didn't dare to say anything, so the matter was delayed.
Later, when the first emperor passed away, the master kept filial piety for three years as usual, and within three years he was not allowed to marry a wife. I don't have time to go back to Beijing, let alone marry a concubine, so I have been delaying until now.
Right now, the relationship between Wusun and the state of Chu is gradually thawing, and the border issue is not so urgent. The queen mother is thinking about him, and also about his marriage, so she urges him to go back with several letters from home. Eighty-nine is for him to marry a wife.
I don't know which family the Empress Dowager wants to give the master. Maybe it is Princess An'an who is known as the most beautiful woman in the Chu Kingdom, or it may be the princess of Chunxi County. No matter who it is, it must be of noble birth and elegant bearing. Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be worthy of my master!
