Jin Yang asked Gu Rujiu to order food, she refused, but seeing Jin Yang's attitude insisted, she simply agreed. Except for Jin Yang, everyone here grew up in the capital, so she deliberately avoided the tastes that most people in the capital could not accept, and ordered a few dishes that fit the tastes of the little emperor and her.
She had eaten at the same table with the little emperor. Although the little emperor appeared to be a good young man who was not picky about eaters, as long as he was a human being, how could he not have a preference? So even though the other party has concealed it, she can probably guess that the other party likes spicy and sweet dishes, but the royal chef in the palace is very careful about the stomach of the nobles, so there are very few dishes with heavy flavors.
Sure enough, after Gu Rujiu ordered a few spicy and sweet dishes, the little emperor's expression became more satisfied.
Gu Cunjing, who was sitting next to Gu Rujiu, frowned when she saw her ordering some savory dishes, but because of the presence of the emperor, he had to give her a secret glance, then reached out and grabbed a handful of peanuts and started peeling them. Layers of skin, stuffed into Gu Rujiu's hands.
He was worried that his sister went out to play today and didn't have a good meal at noon.
"Thank you second brother," Gu Rujiu gave him a pleasant smile, picked up a pill and prepared to put it in his mouth, turned around and saw the little emperor looking at him, so he divided the little emperor in half: "The emperor will also try it."
Gu Cunjing simply didn't see his own sister's behavior, either you don't give it, you give it all, and you keep half of it...
"Thank you." Jin Yang imitated Gu Rujiu and put one in his mouth.
Gu Cunjing then continued to peel the peanuts silently, turning a blind eye to the childish behavior of the little emperor and his sister.
The dragon guards present here can accompany the emperor to travel, which means that their family is basically a pro-emperor faction, and they are all capable. At this moment, they see the little girl of the Gu family playing with the emperor like a child. The grown-up son-in-law has a mind to care about.
The plans of the Sima family and the Li family, some well-informed families, have some vague guesses, but seeing the emperor's lukewarm attitude towards the two families, and the empress dowager does not usually see these two female families, the royal family does not seem to be the same. I don't want to marry the two.
The two great families wanted to marry the royal family, but the royal family didn't want to, so this scene was a bit more interesting. It's this family...
The few people who looked after the girl from the Gu family still looked like children, and instantly felt that they were thinking too much about themselves.
They are all men, and naturally they know which one is better for men. A girl like Gu's family who hasn't grown up yet doesn't look like she can dazzle the little emperor.
The fish came to the table quickly, and the accompanying eunuchs tasted all the fish. After confirming that there was no problem, everyone started to use chopsticks.
No one moved the dishes placed in front of Jin Yang. The sons from the aristocratic family were very smart, and knew when to avoid taboos and when to pretend to be close and enthusiastic.
Although the sweet and sour fish in Liyulou is not as authentic as Qingyuanzhou, it also has a different flavor. Jin Yang asked Bai Xian to give Gu Rujiu the meat on the belly of the fish, and then whispered to Gu Rujiu: "It's better than the taste in the palace." Gu Rujiu smiled. It's not that the royal chefs in the palace did not have this skill, but they were worried that the nobles would have problems eating, so many times they just wanted nothing but flaws.
"Your Majesty can go to the Queen Mother's place to sit more, and then take the opportunity to stay for dinner. Her cooking skills in the old man's small kitchen are good," Gu Rujiu wiped the corner of her mouth, "I also prefer the dishes in the Queen Mother's small kitchen."
Jin Yang paused while holding the chopsticks, then tilted his head and said to Gu Rujiu, "I wrote it down, thank you."
"No need to thank you, after all, as long as you go, the cook will be more attentive. When I greet the Queen Mother in the future, I can also enjoy happiness together." Gu Rujiu smiled indifferently.
Looking at the smile on her face, Jin Yang also smiled.
After finishing the meal, Gu Rujiu finally felt full. After taking the teacup and rinsing her mouth, she raised her chin towards the second brother.
Gu Cunjing touched his purse and went out to pay the bill in dejection. As soon as he reached the door, he heard someone calling him.
"Isn't this second brother Gu?" A young man about 20 years old came out of the private room next door, and when he saw Gu Cunjing, he bowed, "It's better to meet by chance, second brother Gu go in for a drink?"
"Thank you Brother Wu for your kind invitation, but I really can't leave today," Gu Cunjing bowed in return, "Next time, I will apologize to Brother Wu."
Wu Chong didn't force it. The Wu family and the Gu family never had much contact, so he just said a few polite words just now. Although everyone is from an aristocratic family, but in different circles and different hobbies, everyone can't play together.
Seeing Gu Cunjing hurried downstairs, Wu Chong glanced suspiciously at the private room door next to him, but could not hear any movement inside, so he had to go back to his private room.
But this time, he had a good eye and deliberately left the crack in the door, and saw that Gu Cunjing came back soon, walking in a hurry as if there was some important person in the private room.
"Brother Wu, what are you looking at? It's getting late, we should go back." A young man sitting at the table waved to Wu Chong, his face still smelling of alcohol. Wu Chong's friends were all playboys from aristocratic families. Although they didn't do such evil things as murder, arson, rape and looting on weekdays, they were all idle and provocative.
Wu Chong smiled at the man, opened the door and said, "It's not early, it's really time to go back."
A few dandy boys in the room who were full of alcohol went out the door, so they met Jin Yang and his party.
When the playful children of the aristocratic family meet with the outstanding children of the aristocratic family, what can everyone do
Several playboys noticed that there were still several women in the group. They were very sensible and did not talk nonsense. After greeting each other without embarrassment or embarrassment, they prepared to leave.
It's just that there is only one corridor, who will walk in front
Although these outstanding children of the aristocratic family are all "other people's children" in the mouth of the elders in the family, but people want face, trees want bark, everyone said that the other party should go first, but it does not mean that they really want the other party to go first.
In the past, in such a situation, even if the big guys were not feeling well, they would always reject each other and give each other face, but this time the situation seems to be a little different.
Because when the dandy children were courteous, these outstanding children actually left first!
What happened to you outstanding disciples, what about the humility and etiquette of the noble family? !
The playboys expressed their dissatisfaction and unhappiness, but they were the ones who let the other party go ahead, so they could only endure this kind of speechless grievance.
Just when everyone wanted to start the crusade, Wu Chong suddenly said, "Do you know the person who was at the forefront?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"These are the ones who were chosen to be the Dragon Guards in the palace, right?" As the backbone of the gangsters, Wu Chong's intelligence was exceptional.
Who can walk in front of these outstanding children, or have a new face, what kind of identity would they be
"That wouldn't be..."
Wu Chong grabbed the mouth of the person who was speaking, "Don't talk indiscriminately." People in Liyulou came and went, calling him a broken emperor, but it wasn't a joke.
All the dudes in the audience nodded, and it was no wonder that they didn't know the emperor, because with their ability level, they couldn't find a chance to face the saint at all.
The dandy's heartache, who can understand
Everyone wiped their faces, asked their servants to bring their horses, hurried back to their homes, told the family who encountered the suspected emperor in Liyulou, and also made it clear who accompanied the emperor. .
When Gu Rujiu and Gu Cunjing returned home, Gu Changling and Yang were both there. Seeing them come in, Gu Changling raised his eyelids and said, "Cunjing, I heard that you took your sister out to play?"
Seeing his parents' faces as usual, unable to tell the difference between anger, Gu Cunjing nodded honestly.
"What do you think His Majesty's intention is?" Gu Changling pointed to the chair below and motioned his brother and sister to sit down.
"Your Majesty... You want to tell other noble families that he is alive and well and will not be easily robbed of the throne by anyone?" Gu Cunjing would not simply think that the little emperor went out of the palace just to eat fish.
If you want to go out of the palace to eat fish, you can ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair, why walk so far so that so many people can see him
"Apart from this?" Gu Changling took a sip and continued to ask.
Gu Cunjing thought for a while: "Is it to show his closeness to the imperial faction?"
Gu Changling smiled with satisfaction, "You can think of this, it's very good, you remember, although the emperor is still young, but there are thousands of ravines in his chest, not in the pool, although you are a few years older than him, but Don't be contemptuous. The emperor is a resourceful, talented and strategic person, and you two brothers can't match."
Gu Cunjing said solemnly, "My son has been taught."
Seeing that his son understood this, Gu Changling was even more satisfied, so he turned to look at his daughter: "Jiu Jiu, did you have a good time today?"
"It's a little unpleasant in the morning, but it's fine in the afternoon." Gu Rujiu replied with a smile, "Your Majesty treats people very gently."
"Then what do you think the emperor's visit means?" Gu Changling asked casually.
Gu Rujiu tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Perhaps the emperor just came out to eat fish and took a look at the lives of the people in the capital."
Gu Changling and Gu Cunjing were stunned, shaking their heads helplessly and smiling for a long while.
Home is still too simple for a long time.
In the palace, Jin Yang was lying on the couch, and two eunuchs gently pressed his legs for him.
"Your Majesty, do you feel better?" Bai Xian asked worriedly.
"It's okay," Jin Yang coughed several times, took a sip of the throat tea handed over by Bai Xian, "It's good to go out for a walk, and it's a good thing to meet Junior Sister Gu by chance."
Bai Xian was wondering if the emperor intended to take care of Xianjun, how could he know that the emperor spoke again.
"Junior Sister Gu is so well-behaved and cute, I wonder if her future husband will bully her. Do you think I should find a chance to give Junior Sister the title once, and when she gets married again, it will be more obvious. My mother and I value her so much that her husband's family should respect her a little more."
"According to the law, a woman can get married when she is fifteen years old. I don't know what kind of husband Mrs. Gu will choose for her junior sister..."
Bai Xian is silent, and Gu Xianjun is only eleven years old this year. You are thinking of your husband's family for others.
So... Your Majesty, just be happy.
