Chang’an Small Restaurant

    In the morning, Shen Shaoguang sat on the bed with the quilt closed, lifted the curtain of the bed and looked at the window.

    A faint voice on the porch outside the door: "Is the little lady awake? The chicken soup wontons made in the kitchen today are already wrapped. If the little lady gets up, they will be delivered."

    A Yuan: "Wait a little longer, the little lady is still asleep."

    Shen Shaoguang raised his voice in the room: "Get up."

    A Yuan lifted the felt curtain and came in with a chill, and Ming Nu followed behind her.

    A Yuangang helped Shen Shaoguang hook up the half-closed bed curtain, put away the pillow screen, and Ming Nu jumped onto Shen Shaoguang's quilt. Shen Shaoguang disliked: "Hey, hey, are you dirty, rolling on my quilt?"

    Ming Nu rubbed Shen Shaoguang with her head, licked her hand again, leaned back, and exposed her belly.

    Shen Shaoguang is helpless, aren't you an arrogant and cold cat? After the cat set collapsed, the tank broke and fell? While touching its head and face, scratching its chin, I thought, if someone related to your name was so coquettish, I would have disarmed and surrendered.

    Shen Shaoguang simply buried his face on its belly, took a breath, um, there was nothing muddy, dry, and it seemed that he had not had time to roll in the snow.

    "It's slippery, just sitting in the porch to enjoy the scenery for a while, then back to the main room, jumping on the couch, and lying on the cinnamon cloth hidden sac often used by the little lady."

    Shen Shaoguang laughed, conceivably a cat sitting under the porch of the house, calmly and solemnly looking at the white snow, thinking about its cat life.

    A Yuan didn't know who Professor McGonagall was, so she only advised her: "Little lady, don't just play with cats, the bed is cold."

    Shen Shaoguang put on her clothes, put on shoes and got out of bed, and another maid brought hot and cold water for her to mix in the cup and washbasin, Shen Shaoguang washed, and the maid gave her Give her a bowl of **** water.

    Sipping warm **** water, Shen Shaoguang warmed up.

    The maid wanted to comb her hair, Shen Shaoguang waved, "You guys go with your own business."

    The servants brought chicken soup ravioli, and a few of them ate together. Shen Shaoguang is not really a noble girl from a noble family. She has no family rules, so she can achieve the same master and servant. It used to be the case when the four were in a small wine shop. Well, it's not good to get together for dinner.

      Now that the third princess is making soup, it has become better than blue. Shen Shaoguang felt a bit like a master who was photographed to death on the beach.

    It's a holiday, the weather is bad, what can I do? Shen Shaoguang led the maids to draw a picture of relieving the cold.

    Because of the time spent, this picture was done extremely finely, the maids all helped, and even Mingnu added a paw.

    The picture has not been finished yet, but the door came to report, Princess Fuhui arrived.

    Shen Shaoguang hurried out to greet him.

    "I thought, such a heavy snow, I must find someone to share it with, so I think of you." Princess Fuhui smiled.

    Shen Shaoguang nodded: "I just wanted to be the eldest princess, thinking about such a snowy day, it's suitable to do something elegant together, such as eating a pot or something."

    The eldest princess laughed: "Don't pierce me! How do you know that I want to eat your pot?"

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "This is about - smart heads are always similar?"

    Where did the eldest princess hear such slang words, she was overjoyed.

    Shen Shaoguang held an umbrella, Princess Fuhui took her other hand, and the two turned around the vestibule and the central hall directly into the back house.

    Shen Shaoguang told the eldest princess a joke, "When it comes to the head, I think of another sentence. There is a saying that 'two heads are better than one head'. A Hu people little lady Added half a sentence at the end—on the pillow.”①

    Princess Fuhui patted Shen Shaoguang's arm with a smile, and said while laughing, "I'm a Taoist! I'm a Taoist! I can't wait to meet."

    Shen Shaoguang did not smile, "The key, this is what she wrote in the textbook, and her master is a monk..."

    The eldest princess laughed more and more.

    Come to the corridor, Shen Shaoguang took the umbrella and handed it to A Yuan, and another maid opened the curtain, the two entered the hall, and the host and guest sat down. The maid held the red dates, wolfberry and **** sugar drink, and some dried fruit cakes.

    The eldest princess took a sip and glanced at the hall, "It's strange that someone as smart as you likes such simple and simple decorations."

    Shen Shaoguang frowned and said with a smile, "Perhaps to hide these cleverness? It looks clumsy and straightforward."

    The eldest princess smiled and said, "Speaking like this again!"

    Shen Shaoguang argued with her: "It hurts to be stupid."

    Emotional mentor Princess Fuhui said: "No, no, it all depends on whether that person cares about you. If you care, no matter how good you are, in his eyes, you will be weak, small and pitiful. , if you don’t care, you are really stupid, and I am afraid you will also be suspected of ulterior motives.” ②

    Shen Shaoguang was speechless, what the eldest princess said!

    Princess Fuhui was rather lonely, "I am the one who is obviously not very clever, but is always suspected of ulterior motives, how unfortunate..."

    Shen Shaoguang was trying to comfort her when Princess Fuhui smiled: "Fortunately, I don't care anymore."

    Elder Princess Fuhui changed the subject and asked Shen Shaoguang with a smile, "What are you doing at home when I come?"

    Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "According to the scene, draw a picture to relieve the cold with the maids."

    Shen Shaoguang was taken by someone, and the eldest princess painted with her, chatting while painting. What can we talk about? It's just a chat about eating, talking about Beijing's fashion, and talking about whatever comes to mind. It's not much different from chatting with future girlfriends.

    After the drawing, it was noon. The servants set the table and brought two milk soup pots, as well as various pieces of meat, fish balls, vegetables, tofu, etc., and a jar of rice wine.

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and said: "This jar of wine is said to be an old wine that has been stored for more than ten years. I am not good at drinking it. The eldest princess will try it."

    Princess Fuhui is indeed good at drinking, and said with a smile: "I'll help you check it out."

    Shen Shaoguang boiled wine, picked up a few candied plums that were served earlier, and threw them inside. After warming it up, pour it to Princess Fuhui in person.

    "It is very mellow, it is indeed a fine wine for more than ten years." Princess Fuhui nodded and smiled, "You can add plums well, the light sweetness of sour plums is particularly refreshing. .I only drank green plum wine before, I didn't know there was such a way to drink it."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "If it's summer, it's better to drink it with ice."

    Elder Princess Fuhui smiled and said, "I'll drink this iced one when the summer solstice comes."

    The two ate the pot, drank wine, and chatted.

    "I heard that people in the south make wine, bury the wine in the ground when their daughter is born, and dig out the guests when her daughter leaves the pavilion, so it is called daughter wine, also known as daughter red. Every year, there is always some in the south, I tasted it, it's not as mellow as yours." The eldest princess said.

    Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "I also heard that if it was Xiaoerlang, then the wine would be called Zhuangyuanhong."③

    The eldest princess smiled and said, "It may be more practical to call it a 'jinshi wine', how can there be so many champions?"

    The eldest princess has seen a lot of Jinshi, so she thought it was easy, Shen Shaoguang and her popular science, "It is not easy to get a Jinshi, there is a saying in the market 'Fifty few Jinshi', how many people take the test for a lifetime? Failed the test."

    "So, Lin Yan, Pei Fei and other young scholars who have been awarded jinshi at such a young age are still amazing people?"

    Shen Shaoguang said objectively: "I don't know, I don't know, at least I have some real skills."

    In the end, the two brought the topic to the Langjun again.

    Princess Fuhui felt helpless to Shen Shaoguang's counseling, "I tell you, men are very impatient, don't think about him waiting for you all your life. If you don't marry him, He will always marry a wife and have children. With your temperament, you must have forgotten each other in the world. You have never even slept, thank you..."

    Shen Shaoguang nodded, thinking that many years later, when he would meet Lin Yan again, he would bring a bunch of servants and maids, maybe Lin Yan accompanied his wife. Go their own way. The lady might ask, "Who is that lady?" Lin Yan might say, "That's Shen Ji's heroine, and Shen Ji's pot is delicious." Thinking of this, Shen Shaoguang's heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney ached.

    Eldest Princess Fuhui shook her head, "Promising!" But thinking about herself, she doesn't seem to be very promising, that's all, Ah Da doesn't talk about Ah Er, "Don't talk about them, drink, drink! "

    The two of them toasted, and they both drained the wine and poured it again.

    This mellow brew with candied plums is quite palatable, and the two of them drink a little more. In the end, Shen Shaoguang was concerned that he was facing the eldest princess, so he kept it a little clear, but the eldest princess Fuhui really drank too much, so that she was a little shaken when she left.

    Shen Shaoguang persuaded her, "It's not too late, if the eldest princess doesn't dislike it, lie down with me and then go."

    Elder Princess Fuhui waved her hand, "I'll find you another day, I'm really happy today!"

    The maids supported her, and Shen Shaoguang sent them off behind her. Seeing her get into the car, the two said a few words through the car window and watched her car go away before Shen Shaoguang came back.

    A Yuan supported her, "Little lady can't walk straight anymore."

    Shen Shaoguang looked back at the footprints, it was okay.

    The servants cleaned up the leftovers, Shen Shaoguang looked at the half-pot of wine that had been warmed, "Leave this for me."

    A Yuan asked in surprise: "Little lady still drinking?"

    Shen Shaoguang sat on the couch on his knees, frowned and thought for a while, "I didn't drink enough."

    I didn't drink it... I was obviously drunk! But just like Shen Shaoguang couldn't bear to tell A Yuan to quit sweet and meat, A Yuan saw her like that and left the wine in the end, "Just drink this and go to bed after drinking?"

    Shen Shaoguang smiled, "I know, long-winded."

    A Yuan asked her if she wanted wine and vegetables, Shen Shaoguang shook his head and pointed to the preserved fruit on the table.

    When Lin Yan came, he saw Shen Shaoguang with one leg straight and the other bent, half leaning on the two hidden sacs, eating a sour plum, and taking a sip of wine from a pot.

    Shen Shaoguang squinted at him and greeted him with a smile: "Lin Langjun, why are you here? Isn't there a banquet today?"

    "I met the eldest princess outside the workshop."

    Shen Shaoguang nodded, tilted his head to look at him, "You don't seem to drink much today."

    "Well, you drank too much."

    Shen Shaoguang squinted and smiled, "After chatting with the eldest princess, I drank a little more."

    Lin Yan pursed his lips: "Since you know you've drunk too much, why do you drink more?"

    Shen Shaoguang couldn't remember what he had just said to fool A Yuan, so he had to frown and make up another one, "Anyway, I'm already drunk, so it's not bad, right?" Shen Shaoguang looked at his hand The wine jug had an idea, "It's a pity not to drink it."

    Lin Yan laughed at her, it turned out to be cherishing things! What an excuse.

    Looking like she still wanted to drink, Lin Yan went over to get the jug, "You can't drink any more, let the maids wait for you to wash up, take a good night's sleep, you will have a headache tomorrow."

    Shen Shaoguang shook his head, patted the couch, motioned him to sit, "You accompany me to talk."

    Lin Yan sat down with her. She was wearing a half-worn burgundy mustache-style blouse, with only a ribbon tied around her bun, which was already a little loose, some hair was scattered around her temples, and her cheeks were rubbed like rouge, which was silly. Lin Yan's heart softened, "Don't drink like the eldest princess in the future. You don't drink often. It's so uncomfortable to be drunk."

    Shen Shaoguang didn't answer, just looked at him with a smile, and then took his hand to play.

    Shen Shaoguang compared his hand with Lin Yan's hand, and crossed it, Lin Yan also held it cooperatively, and then Shen Shaoguang looked at his fingers again to see how many "dustpan" several "buckets".

    "You three fight, you should do business like me and open a pawnshop." Shen Shaoguang completed the identification.

    Lin Yan had never heard such nonsense before, so he just laughed.

    Shen Shaoguang put down his hand and said angrily: "Unfortunately, you are not a pawnshop."

    Shen Shaoguang sat up straight, looked at Lin Yan, and said for a while, "I won't trip you up like this. If it doesn't work out, you can go get married and have children."

    Lin Yan looked at her, "What's wrong?"

    "We are not a car that runs on the same road. We go separately, and we can all be safe. If we stick together, if we don't keep it together, it will crash. It's a..." Shen Shaoguang pursed his lips and lowered his head, "It's my fault. It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes."

    Lin Yan held up her face and found that she was bursting with tears. Originally, it was a little helpless to hear her talk about this again, but at this time, she felt very distressed. She was really a fool. Originally, she was so excited to fiddle with all kinds of food and eat and try her best to open a wine shop. She seemed so full of interest that she couldn't bear to interrupt. Besides, the two of them got along like this, even if they couldn't... it was fine. Lin Yan was willing to slow down. Grind slowly. Now it seems that I really can't let her be like this. I look at Le Taotao all day long, but my heart is very depressed, otherwise I won't cry like this.

    Lin Yan gently hugged her into his arms, "We have to stick to each other for the rest of our lives, aren't you always thinking about it?"

    Shen Shaoguang didn't remember his misunderstanding, but he felt sad, so he just started to cry, rubbing the tears and snot of Lin Yan's shirt.

    Lin Yan patted her on the back lightly, after a while, there was no sound, she twisted her face gently, it turned out that she was asleep.

    The author has something to say:  That, at the request of everyone, finally embraced.
