Chapter 37
The visitor is wearing red tuniced sleeves and a bunt, with a high bun and a red headband hanging down in front of his body. He wears deerskin short boots with a sword at his waist, and an old wristband wrapped around his right wrist. He looks heroic and heroic. Yun Ran's appearance made Yun Ran take another look, but of course it was only a light glance. When she saw someone who was about to salute in the street with her fists clasped, Yun Ran raised her hand to hold her arm, her brows and eyes were indifferent.
"You don't need to be too polite." She smiled slightly after helping him up: "This is the first time I have arrived in Tai'an, just take a look around, can you go with me?"
Seeing this, Qingyuan said in a timely manner: "This is Chen Ying, the daughter of Chen Zhoufang, the chief rudder of Jiangnan, who assists Chen Zhoufang in managing Jiangnan affairs. She has outstanding abilities and is a rare talented young man in the pavilion."
"Guardian Zuo is absurd." Chen Ying smiled brightly: "I was born in Tai'an and grew up in Tai'an. If I can't even handle this little thing that the pavilion master explained, I'm afraid I'll lose face and stay here in Tai'an. Pavilion Master, this way."
Yun Ran nodded slightly, followed Chen Ying's direction and took a step, but at the same time stretched out that foot, her gaze stayed on Gu Chen for a while, and then turned away inadvertently, seeing Gu Chen walking beside her naturally, her clothes on her back. As long as she stretched out her hand as if she could touch Gu Chen at any time, Yun Ran stepped down, smiling and listening to Chen Ying's introduction of the style and features of Tai'an City.
"We're going to talk about this one here. It should be this peach blossom dumpling. The small dumpling is warm and delicious. It tastes sour and sweet. It tastes so good." Seeing the gaze of the pavilion master shifted to the side and landed on the man in the plain shirt beside her, Chen Ying wondered about the identity of this person: "Pavilion master, Xiao Yuanzi in the restaurant in front is the most It’s authentic, it’s been a long way, why don’t we rest our feet and try this special xiaoyuanzi?”
"Go and have a rest, I'm tired." Gu Chen opened his mouth before Yunran took a step.
Since Chen Ying came here, Gu Chen didn't talk much along the way, mainly because Chen Ying was a talkative person, there were all kinds of allusions from east to west, north and south, she couldn't stop talking, Gu Chen saw Yunran listening Concentrate, I want to make some comments a few times, it's time to go back to rest, this person is still a patient, he can't work so hard, it can be seen that Yunran is quite interested, the words came to his mouth several times and then swallowed back.
"Alright."
Yunran was indeed a little tired after walking for a long time.Before Chen Ying came over, Gu Chen led her to walk a lot of streets and alleys, and now he walked the rest of the way. Although she was in better health, She couldn't bear to be tired, she just wanted to walk more on the streets that Gu Chen had walked on, to feel the real breath of life.
Chen Ying was left behind in a dazed effort. She looked at the plain-clothed woman next to the pavilion master in bewilderment. She really couldn't understand the identity of this person. She was not a familiar person in the pavilion. She also seemed to have some slight animosity.When we were on the side of the street just now, the Pavilion Master didn't see her, but he saw her clearly. When turning the corner, the left protector deliberately wanted to hit that person, but he was lightly dodged by that person. She was able to avoid the attack of the left protector, which shows her lightness. good.
Now, the pavilion master has not spoken yet, she has made a decision first, and the pavilion master seems to have no objection to her decision, but Zuo Hufa stared at her several times and wanted to refute, but in the end she said nothing From the way she said it, could it be that this person is, seeing that she has a quack air, doesn't she look like a courtier?
Chen Ying was puzzled, but she didn't dare to inquire, so she hurriedly followed and led a few people to the restaurant.
Jiangnan dishes are very delicate. The small dishes and small bowls are exquisitely arranged, and the table is full in a short time. The exquisite peach blossom dumplings are finally brought up. The pink soup is wrapped in glutinous rice. Yuanzi, with a few small petals floating on it, looks very pleasing to the eye.
Yunran took a sip with a small spoon, it tasted sour and sweet, it was really good, when he was about to take a second bite, Gu Chen reached out and took the bowl away in front of him.
Yun Ran, who was holding the spoon, was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gu Chen innocently, as if asking her why she took away her little Yuanzi.Gu Chen moved a blueberry yam in his hand to Yunran: "Taohua Yuanzi is cold, and your health will be better. Just taste the taste. If you eat too much of this food, you can't stand it. This yam is sour, sweet and soft. It tastes good too."
Yun Ran put down the spoon: "The young master has worked hard all day long, so that peach blossom ball is my thank you, okay?"
Looking at her serious look, Gu Chen wanted to laugh but held back.
"The master is very polite."
Gu Chen realized that she was really worrying too much. When she got out of the car just now, she told Yun Ran not to worry about airs. Part of what she said was actually to comfort Yun Ran.She still remembered that Yunran said when she was in Kyoto that although she was the owner of the Tanyue Pavilion, the power actually fell to the side of the city. What prestige, that's why Gu Chen wanted her to feel at ease.
Prestige is not something that can be built up in a short while, nor is it something that she can fool around by playing around with any show.
But Gu Chen didn't expect that Yunran's frame would really be so interesting.Along the way, although she doesn't talk much, she gives people a very unpredictable feeling, and she has been the royal princess for so many years, and she is also the emperor's favorite princess, so she naturally knows how to straighten herself identity of.
In addition to being courteous to that heroine Chen Ying, she did not lose the dignity of the pavilion master, and she grasped the difference between high and low very well.
Little did he know that what Gu Chen thought was good, had already disintegrated in her very natural movements just now.Chen Ying lowered her head and stirred her small circle, looking at the pink peach petals, she became more suspicious of Gu Chen's identity.Seeing the closeness of the two, coupled with Zuo Hufa's attitude, Chen Ying had a vague guess in her heart. She thought about what her father had told her, and also thought of the rumors about the first pavilion master. She bit her lips lightly, Looking up at Gu Chen, he smiled brightly: "This young man knows a lot, no wonder he is appreciated by the pavilion master. I don't know which branch the young man comes from?"
"Hmph." Qingyuan snorted coldly, and rolled Gu Chen's eyes: "She's not from Tanyue Pavilion, that's why she's so unruly!" What's wrong?Can the doctor just grab our pavilion master's bowl casually?In front of his subordinates, what is the majesty of our pavilion master!It's outrageous!
"Yuan, don't be rude to the young master." Seeing Chen Ying's bright smile, Yun Ran pursed her lips: "This is the young master of Medicine Valley, Gu Chen." It's not that she forgot to introduce Gu Chen to Chen Ying, but , The chopsticks in her hand tightened again. When she wanted to introduce, she saw Chen Ying's gaze directly on Gu Chen. At that moment, she swallowed the words back, and then jumped straight away. past.
Gu Chen is so good, it's normal for people to look at him, right?Yunran's mood fell instantly, and the yam in his mouth lost its taste.As for the fact that she didn't see Chen Ying's relaxed expression when she heard that she was from the medicine valley, everyone knew that the young master was born in the medicine valley.
"My father went out a few days ago, and told me to receive the pavilion master well." Chen Ying took the people downstairs and turned the corner, and walked all the way to the Chen family's mansion: "The best thing I've been thinking about is living in my own home." Comfortable, the master has orders, and the subordinates are right in front of you, which is very convenient."
Suddenly seeing her talking, she hurriedly dodges, hides herself behind Qingyuan, and even pulls Qingyuan's sleeve to cover half of her face.
Qingyuan was about to pull back her sleeves: "What are you doing, you look like you're sneaking around and hiding from people."
Yun Ran was also wondering, and saw her let out a long sigh of relief, a little shy: "That's my fiancé, we can't meet before the wedding."
Um?Yun Ran turned to look, and indeed saw the back of a man in a green shirt who looked like a scholar, entering a restaurant.
"Is that the scholar just now? Your fiancé?" Yun Ran asked, "Are you hiding from him?" Then he turned to Gu Chen and asked, "Why can't we meet before marriage?"
How did Gu Chen know this?Shaking his head, he couldn't answer.
"Yes!" Chen Ying felt a little frustrated when talking about this: "I don't know where the rules are broken. It must say that new couples can't meet each other three months before the big wedding. I counted on my fingers, and there are 53 God, I'm so sad!"
Obviously she was still a brave and heroic heroine just now, but when she mentioned her fiancé, she instantly turned into a girl with grievances. Yun Ran saw that her cheeks were pink, and she was so attentive to her wedding date, so she suddenly smiled: " 53 days, August [-]th, is a good day, and I will give you a big gift at that time."
"Where do you want a big gift? It would be a great honor for my subordinates to dare to invite the pavilion master to marry him."
"Okay, if you don't dislike it, then I will be happy with you."
Because of a fiancé who suddenly made trouble, the seemingly cheerful and lively atmosphere along the way became much more harmonious and warm. After Chen Ying was teased a few times, she stopped being coy and told them a lot about the relationship between herself and her fiancé. Stories, sharing their own sweetness.
"This small courtyard is secluded and elegant. It is connected to the front yard and there is a separate small door at the back. You can go in and out directly through the small door, which is convenient for the chief of the pavilion." Chen Ying led them to look around: "There is a small pond in front of it. The lotus leaves are growing very well, and I can pick lotus seeds to eat in a few days. I live not far from the front, and the master of the pavilion has orders, so it is very convenient to ask someone to call me over."
I also went shopping in the street, ate dinner, and arranged this place. Yunran gave Qingyuan a look, and took a sip of tea: "Longjing tea before Yuqian, good tea. Gu Chen, you can try it too."
Although Gu Chen is a doctor, she also likes to teach others how to keep in good health, but she herself is not a tea drinker. The gourd had been thrown away for a long time, but now she was holding the tea bowl, and she really missed the jar of daughter Hong that Yunran gave her, but unfortunately, there was no more to drink.
Although Gu Chen can't taste good or bad tea, she still has some understanding of Yunran. She knows that tasting tea is not important at the moment, but the important thing should be the daughter of the chief helm, Chen Ying. .
Sure enough, Qingyuan asked: "I've worked hard for you today, but I don't know where Chief Chen has gone and when he will return. The Pavilion Master has important matters to discuss with him."
"Well, my father didn't explain much when he left. He only said that he had to deal with important matters. As for where and when he will return, the subordinates really don't know."
"It's okay." Yun Ran put down the teacup: "Since you are in charge of Jiangnan affairs, it is the same for me to ask you. At the beginning of spring, the imperial court issued an edict that all the shops under my Tanyue Pavilion in the three provinces of Jiangnan Increase the business tax by [-]%, let me ask, how do you deal with it, how many shops are there, and how much tax was collected, can you make up for it now?"
"This..." Chen Ying said with a worried look on her face, "this, because my marriage is approaching, my father temporarily ordered me to concentrate on taking care of the marriage affairs. He takes care of all the affairs in the pavilion. Although I have heard about it, I really don't know the specific situation. .”
Gu Chen chewed the tea stalk in his mouth, and spit it out after hearing Chen Ying's words: "A young talent like you should have done a great job for you Tanyue Pavilion, how could you be so angry because of your sons and daughters? Just delaying your important affairs in the cabinet? Arranging marriage is a great reason, but, although I have never been married, I have met, you, a bride-to-be, what can you do?"
Hearing this, Chen Ying also had a sad look on her brows: "I said the same thing, but my fiancé said that it's best for girls not to show their faces before they get married. If I like it, it's not too late to continue working after they get married. My dad That's what I said too. To tell you the truth, I seldom go out since the beginning of spring. I am embroidered by my mother-in-law every day. I have embroidered three handkerchiefs on that red hijab. If I continue to embroider, I don’t even know mandarin ducks or ducks!” Chen Ying became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, “If it wasn’t for the princess coming over, how would I have the chance to go out? ah!"
Yunran obviously didn't expect to hear such an answer. Looking at Chen Ying's sincere grievances, Yunran also felt wronged for these women who were waiting to marry. Even a bright and sassy woman like Chen Ying escaped. If you don't get rid of this fate, you have to be restrained at home by your wife before marriage, not to mention those gentle little girls, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything for themselves.
"You are stupid! If you want to go out, who can stop you?" Qingyuan said disdainfully: "Is the sword in your hand a decoration? It's because I praised you so much just now, it really embarrasses us girls from Tanyue Pavilion! "
"Ah? But the wedding dress is always made by the bride herself." Chen Ying's cheeks began to flush again: "The wedding dress made by myself can last a long time in love."
"It's just a piece of clothing. If the two of you can truly stay together, there's no shortage of this piece of clothing."
Qing Yuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yun Ran's eyes: "The bride who is about to marry naturally has to prepare. That's all, I wanted to look at the account book. Since you don't know, then wait for Mr. Chen When I come back, I’ll just ask him again. You are the bride, and you will be married soon, so you can concentrate on the marriage. "
I don't know why, but Gu Chen always feels that Yun Ran's attitude towards the bride-to-be is much softer, unlike the rigid relationship between superiors and subordinates before, and even the tone of voice is much closer?Looking at Yunran's fair cheeks, is it her illusion?
