No matter how good-tempered Yun Wenting was, he was a little angry when he heard this: "Second brother, what are you talking about?"
The corner of Yun Wenting's mouth curved, looked 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. But when you stand in front of people, you still force yourself to give people Smile, and invite others to board the boat. Young Master Yun, aren't you tired?"
Yun Wenting pursed his lips and was silent for a while, but instead of getting angry, he asked calmly, "Oh? What if you were?"
Yun Wenfang tilted his head and thought for a while, then stammered, half-truth: "If her stick hits someone I like, I will kick her into the river. Then I tell her 'Go away' Click, don't let the young master see you again! See you once and kick once!'."
Yun Wenting laughed when he heard this, shook his head and glanced at his younger brother tolerantly, as if he was looking at a willful child: "You!"
Yun Wenfang raised his eyebrows: "What? Think I dare not?"
Yun Wenting shook his head and said warmly: "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 light and still gentle, Yun Wenfang glanced at him, but couldn't say anything sarcastic.
After passing the bridge hole, the painting boat was unobstructed along the way.
"I'm sorry, I was shocked. I didn't expect to meet them." Xiao Jinglin said to Ren Yaoqi after she sat down in the painting boat.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I'm fine."
Xiao Jinglin thought about it, but still said to Ren Yaoqi: "The woman just now was named Wu Yiyu, the only daughter of my aunt, and she has always been at odds with me. You are with me today... If you meet her in the future, try to avoid her as much as possible. Don't let yourself suffer."
Ren Yaoqi laughed: "Are you still worried that she will harm my pond fish? Don't worry, I won't stay in Yunyang City for a few days, and I won't go out much. I'll go back to Baihe Town with my elders in a few days, I'm afraid I don't have any. I have the chance to meet this Miss Wu."
Xiao Jinglin felt right, so she nodded and said nothing more.
The painting boat went north along the river in the city. After about an hour of incense, it gradually slowed down. The voice of the boat lady and people came from outside. It should be at the gate out of the city. There are people stationed here. Yunyang City was regarded as the most important town in Yanbei, and there were sufficient troops to defend the city. However, because the waterway is rarely used, the defenders of the two gates in the north and south are half less than the defenders of the four city gates.
Xiao Jinglin took out a hand-in-hand-like thing from her sleeve and gave it to her maid and asked her to take it out. I sat by the window myself.
The guards outside naturally knew that the person who could openly walk through the north gate must be someone from the palace, so they were also polite when questioning them on a routine basis. The profile of his face, he immediately saluted, and told his subordinates to open the gate.
The painting boat went out of the city smoothly from the inner city river channel, and the river channel for boats gradually widened. Xiao Jinglin ordered the maids to open the curtains on both sides of the boat, so that the people in the boat could have a clear view of the outside scene.
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 a good smell, but it made people feel refreshed.
The further you go out of the city, the more greenery on both sides of the strait.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin looked at the window on one side, and seemed to be attracted by the other scenery outside. No one spoke. When the two were together, they were silent most of the time.
Until Xiao Jinglin ordered: "Just stop here."
Ren Yaoqi retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin gave a rare smile: "Today I caught a few fish before you came, and the people in the restaurant have already cleaned it up. Shall we eat potty here at noon?" Ren Yaoqi felt that Xiao Jinglin was talking about eating. Come here, her eyes are bright, although her tone is still light, Ren Yaoqi feels that she is happy.
"Okay. I haven't eaten this for a long time." Ren Yaoqi said with a smile.
The pot is a hollow copper vessel, the hollow part in the middle is used to place the charcoal fire, and the big "belly" outside is used to hold the soup. After the soup is boiled, you can put the raw meat or vegetables in it and eat it.
The common people in Yanbei often eat this in winter. The nobles of noble families also occasionally eat this, and it is the servant girls who serve it. If it is used for a banquet, it is a pot in front of each person, or you can do it yourself.
The painting boat stopped by the shore, and Hongying and another maid came in with things one after another, including copper pots, charcoal fires, sliced fish, mutton, meatballs, and some side dishes. It is much easier than what Ren Yaoqi used to eat at home.
When one end of the soup pot came in, the whole painting boat was filled with a special fragrance that made people move their index fingers.
Ren Yaoqi's eyes also lit up.
Xiao Jinglin set the plate by herself, and said, "I got the soup from Zuixianju."
Zuixianju's pots belong to the entire Yanbei civilization, but...
"I remember Zuixianju doesn't seem to sell takeout?" Ren Yaoqi asked curiously.
Some famous restaurants and restaurants in places like Kyoto have some strange rules, but the more strange the rules, the more praised by some famous family sons and brothers, thinking that this is a kind of elegance. Few people will use power to break the rules set by the store. Of course, there are some people who don't play cards according to the rules, but such people are usually from upstart people who don't understand the rules, and they will be despised and ridiculed if they say it.
Xiao Jinglin's two maids lowered their heads and silently placed 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 that they don't pay money."
"… "
Xiao Jinglin didn't notice everyone's faces, frowned and told the maid, "I want chili sauce, not sesame sauce."
Looking at Xiao Jinglin's appearance, Ren Yaoqi suddenly laughed out loud, and put the bottom material in front of her in front of Xiao Jinglin: "This is for you, we will change it."
Xiao Jinglin waved her hand to let the maids back down, not letting them help with the dishes, so she moved her hand. The clothes she wears today are arrow sleeves, so it is very convenient to move around. Without greeting Ren Yaoqi, he put the fresh fish into the pot, rinsed it back and forth twice, and then put it on the dishes and ate it.
Ren Yaoqi's sleeves are wide sleeves, which is not very convenient to move. Apple came up and said, "Miss, this servant will serve you."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head, took a few pieces of fish in a slow manner, and stroked the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand just like practicing calligraphy and painting on weekdays, and the soup made meat.
When she did this action, she was as elegant as writing and painting, but the action of scalding the flesh was no stranger than Xiao Jinglin, and she was very comfortable.
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 his mouth.
When Ren Yaoqi went to pick up the meat again, Xiao Jinglin reacted and continued to eat unwillingly.
Xiao Jinglin's meal was still the same as last time, and it was very fast, which made the appetite of those who watched it increased greatly.
The two remained silent, burying their heads in the meal, sweating profusely, very painful.
When all the food on the table was almost eaten, Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but smile to Ren Yaoqi: "I had a great time eating this time."
Ren Yaoqi smiled: "Thank you for thinking of me every time you eat delicious food."
The last time they met, Xiao Jinglin took her to eat braised donkey meat, and this time, she ate the pot she grabbed. It's a special experience that is unforgettable.
Xiao Jinglin was in a good mood and said more: "You are different from them."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why is it different?"
Xiao Jinglin tilted her head and thought for a while, her brows wrinkled childishly: "It's very comfortable to eat with you. Fortunately, I called you here today, if Xiao Jingxi is here, he must be more disciplined than a girl! Let people watch him eat and be full."
Facing Xiao Jinglin's complaints, Ren Yaoqi could only pretend not to hear it, although she actually couldn't laugh in her heart.
However, she really couldn't imagine Xiao Jingxi's appearance of a person who was sweating profusely eating a pot. She thought that he should not eat, not go to the toilet, and just smell the incense every day.
After the two finished eating, they talked for a while, and Ren Yaoqi suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers and drum beats coming from the river not far away, and couldn't help but look out strangely.
Xiao Jinglin said, "The dragon boat race is about to start, so let's go too?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "It's the first time I've come here, it's just fine for the county master to call the shots."
"Xiao Jinglin." Xiao Jinglin waved her hand to the maid to instruct Chuanniang to row the boat over, and then turned to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, nodded with a smile, "I'll call you Jinglin when no one is there, you call me Yaoqi, okay?"
The corners of Xiao Jinglin's mouth curled slightly, and her smile was very light: "Okay."
The venue of the dragon boat race is the same every year. The starting point and the finish point are high platforms on the shore, decorated with red silk and lanterns, as well as seating counters. After another quarter of an hour on the boat, Ren Yaoqi saw the high platform on the case.
Xiao Jinglin asked Chuan Niang to park the boat at a position with a good view near the shore. Ren Yaoqi looked out the window and could see the old man Han and an old man of his age sitting on the high platform and chatting happily. , Mr. Ren is also on top, but he is not sitting on top like Mr. Han.
