Chapter 85: Yu Yin

Baishiqiao is a countryside place. The houses are built in the east and west. There is no need to pay attention to it. The roads are naturally twisted and straight. Often, they are looking at this straight road and walk in, but the walls are blocked when they end up. You think this road must be a dead end, but the flowers are bright and the road is broken from somewhere, so that you can pass by.

I didn't live in Shiraishi Bridge for a few years and didn't know the road at all.

When Wang Xi and Chen Luo arrived at Baishi Bridge, it was already dark.

The Wang family's carriage followed the Chen family's carriage and turned left and right. After walking for almost a quarter of an hour, he couldn't tell the difference between the south, south, west and north. The Chen family's carriage stopped in front of the seemingly ordinary courtyard gate.

The servant who accompanied the Chen family hurriedly jumped out of the car and served Chen Luo to get out of the car.

The coachman of the Chen family greeted the coachman of the Wang family: "Follow me."

Most wealthy families have other parking doors.

The driver of the Wang family didn't think much about it, and stopped the car. When Ginkgo and others helped Wang Xi get out of the car, he followed the Chen family's carriage.

Who knew that the Chen family’s parking place was not here, but in a dilapidated house a little far from this house.

The coachman of the Wang family looked at the mottled black paint on the door and felt like he was dreaming. He didn't know if there was any place to rest tonight.

Wang Xi didn't know this.

She saw that although Chen Luo had no flowers, plants and trees in the yard where she arranged for her to settle down, the ground was covered with neat bluestone bricks, which were clean and spacious, so she nodded secretly.

Then, the servant who was with Chen Luo went into the rest room. There were only a few simple pieces of furniture in the room, which seemed empty. She also asked the servant: "What's your name? How old are you? How long have you been with Lord Chen? I just bought this house? It hasn't been repaired yet?"

"Miss just call me Douzi." Even if the servant followed Chen Luo, he had never had such a close contact with such a beautiful lady. His face was so blushed that he seemed to be bleeding, and he murmured, "I, I have been with the adults since I was a child. If the lady has any needs, just tell me."

As for how old he was and why the house was so empty, he looked restrained and shy, but he didn't say a word.

It seems that Chen Luo has two more brushes under his control.

Wang Xi secretly commented in his heart that someone had sent new mattresses, copper basins, brushes and other items. Douzi also said: "It's too late, this is not a good place. I have nowhere to buy it if I have money. Please forgive me. I'll just go back to the city tomorrow."

Wang Xi once walked several escorts with her elder brother. It was not that she couldn't endure hardship, but she felt that there was no need to endure hardship when she had the conditions and was unwilling to force herself.

She smiled and thanked her, and the ginkgos served her and changed into summer cloth skirts she wore in daily life.

Wang Xi asked Ginkgo to visit Chen Luo and said that he had something to say to him.

Chen Luo agreed and sent Douzi to accompany her to his study.

He lives opposite Wang Xi’s front yard.

Wang Xi looked at the layout and felt that the yard only had three entrances at most.

When she saw Chen Luo, Chen Luo must have just finished washing. Although her hair had simply tied it up, she still looked a little wet.

He was making tea, so he simply invited Wang Xi to sit next to him and taste the tea. He personally poured a cup of tea and placed it next to the tea boat in front of her, and said, "Try it, Mingqian Longjing, which was tributed by Jiangnan, see if it suits your taste?"

Chen Luo guessed that she should be here to talk to him about compensation.

After all, Sigushan is a very big mountain as she said.

As for how to compensate the Wang family, to be honest, he really didn't think about it.

In the education he received, since he wanted to compensate others, he should do things well and make the other party feel that it is worth the money.

What does the Wang family need now...it's good to talk to Wang Xi.

In Wang Xi's education, you can go straight to the point, and of course you can also hit the point.

Since Chen Luo wanted to talk to her slowly, the night was long and there were no one else around, so I would just talk to her slowly.

She smelled the fragrance of tea and sipped gently.

The beans are fragrant and the tea soup is soft.

"Good tea!" Wang Xi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise, "It is worthy of being a tribute, with a light taste and beautiful shape."

Chen Luo is a person who doesn’t like tea much. He smiled and said, “If Miss Wang feels like it, and when she returns to the city, I will give you a few pounds to quench Miss Wang’s thirst.”

Wang Xi likes all good things. Even if she doesn’t like them, there are always people she likes. There are often people around her, so it’s good to give favors.

"Then I'm disrespectful." She was not polite. She thought about Chen Luo's style and wanted to have a long talk with her. Of course, she had to go with the flow and let Chen Luo say enough. She simply followed Chen Luo's words and talked about drinking tea with him. "We all like to drink tea, so there are many teahouses in Shu, and there are many special teas in the place. The most famous one should be Mengshan tea. Their nectar and yellow ya are the most famous. I have drunk it in the teahouses in Beijing. They are all top-notch and good-quality. I believe Mr. Chen knows it too. But our family is influenced by my grandfather, and the one we like most is Mao Feng from Mount Emei..."

She said slowly, and looked at the corner of Chen Luo's eyes.

Seeing that he always looked like he was leaning forward and had no intention of responding, she talked freely and simply talked about tea and refreshments: "...so our Shuzhong refreshments are also very distinctive. In addition to the common melon seeds, candied fruits, dried fruits, and other dried tomatoes, peanuts, lotus roots and so on... It is not common in your teahouses in Beijing... However, there is a kind of refreshment called taro dates in Minnan. It is quite interesting. It is cut into small pieces with taro, mixed with seasonings and fryed in oil... Among them, the taro of Lipu is the most famous... But I think it is too hard, not as delicious as the taro of our Shuzhong... The taro of Wuchang Mansion is also delicious, and it is a bit like the taro of our Shuzhong... So our Shuzhong likes to stew with meat, while the taro of Fujian likes to be used for sweets..."

Chen Luo couldn't speak for a long time.

This young lady from the Wang family is really good!

He didn't answer a word, and she could say it without a word for the first half of the time.

The key point is that she is different from other little girls. She is very interesting when she says it.

Especially the taro dates, the first time he ate them was at Zuo Tongzheng's house. His hometown is from Fujian. His wife cooked in person and specially treated them to them.

Even she knew this.

And it's really not a bragging. Although the method she said was different from Zuo Tongzheng's family, the general process was the same, which shows that she had really eaten and made it to others.

The capital is the capital of the country. The best food in the world pours into the capital from all over the world. It is because he is embraced by his ancestors that he has seen so many delicious foods, but Miss Wang is young...

He couldn't help but said, "Are you good at cooking?"

Wang Xi was choked when asked.

This Chen Luo doesn't even know how to chat.

At her age, even if she starts to hold a knife just as she can stand firm, she will not have good skills.

Why did he speak like this?

Is it a very famous thing to force an unmarried girl to admit that she likes to eat?

Her answer could hear a gritting voice: "I just received the elegance of my ancestors. I saw a lot of things, so I can make a lot of delicious food!"

Chen Luo nodded, thinking that she should be the same as him. Then she remembered that she kept mentioning lypotato and contacting the land deeds of Sigushan, Shaoguan. She was not reminding him to make compensation all the time, right?

This little girl is quite capable.

He guessed that no matter what he started with, she should be able to get into compensation.

Of course, it is better to take the initiative than to make the other party take the initiative. But for no reason, he just didn't want to mention it, and he also felt a little bit of a crooked look at the capsized boat on the Yellow Crane Tower to see if she had any solutions.

"I heard that the Chunfeng Tower in the capital belongs to yours," he continued to wander around her. His voice sounded very gentle and polite, a bit like the feeling when Wang Xi met him in Jimin Hall for the first time. "I have also gone to eat it. The moonlight in their lotus pond is quite delicious, and there is no special impression on the other ones. But this dish is not a signature in Chunfeng Tower. Your elders are well-informed, so why aren't they like Sijimei? You can think of the signature dishes when you make a few of them?"

How dare they say their family can't do business?!

Wang Xi was angry, but his face was not visible, and he defended his family calmly: "Then tell me, if you talk about famous restaurants in the capital, what would you think of?"

Chen Luo was stunned.

The first thing he thought of was Chunfeng Tower!

Wang Xi laughed and taught him how to be a human being: "When talking about Sijimei, you will think of their crystal elbows. When talking about Liuweiyuan, you will think of their pickles. But if you don't want to eat crystal elbows, will you go to Sijimei? But our Chunfeng Tower is a place where many people in Beijing will go whenever they think of treating guests! What should one or two signs do? Instead, it will limit the number of guests."

Chen Luo was shocked.

He thought of many things.

Suddenly I felt that I was still too underestimating businessmen like the Wang family who had been doing several generations of people.

Everyone who can survive through time has his own extraordinary and special way of survival.

Before he knew it, Chen Luo sat a little more straight when facing Wang Xi.

He silently poured Wang Xi a cup of tea.

Wang Xi felt that the tea was too much fragrant and should change to the ritual tea again.

She was also a little tired of chanting.

"Mr. Chen, I have something I want to ask you." This time she decided to master the rhythm of her speech, went straight to the point, and went to bed early after speaking. She forced herself to stop yawning, and shrugged her nose and continued: "That fragrant powder, wasn't the emperor asking you to check, but you were checking it privately? Is it the emperor who is going to favor alone? Or is the queen being blamed?"

"What did you say?!" Chen Luo's eyes were glaring, but his expression seemed to have seen a ghost, and there was an unconcealed horror.

Since Wang Xi dares to ask, he is not afraid of angering him.
