Chapter 14
"Kangqiao Town?" Li Ruo was taken aback, put away the chopsticks, and looked at Yin Rong with some doubts.
Why does the name of this town sound so familiar, as if I just heard it two days ago...
"Kangqiao Town?" He repeated it again, and Li Ruo suddenly remembered.
Isn't Cambridge Town the place where Cang Liang went?
Thinking of this, Li Ruo's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yin Rong suspiciously, "Why did you mention this place? Why, have you been there before?"
At first I thought that Li Ruo remembered back then, but she didn't expect that she would ask such a question, she couldn't help feeling disappointed, she just curled her lips, smiled and shook her head, "Since the eldest princess doesn't remember, forget it over there."
"Wait!" Seeing that Yin Rong was about to stand up with the bowls and chopsticks, Li Ruo looked at her and frowned unhappily, "I'll stop talking after I've said this, I don't remember, then you Let’s talk about it.”
Li Ruozhen doesn't remember this place, but when she was in the south of the Yangtze River, she traveled all year round with her master and younger brother. Even if she has been to this small Cambridge town, she probably just stopped or passed by for a while. .
However, how did Yin Rong know this?
Yin Rong turned her head, although there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but the next moment she put on her old smile again, and said softly, "The eldest princess really doesn't remember? That year in Cambridge Town, the eldest princess made a lion's head, It tastes great." After that, under Li Ruo's still confused gaze, Yin Rong casually walked into the kitchen with a few dirty bowls.
lion head?Isn't that... Master's favorite food?
Cambridge Town...
It seems that he has indeed been to this place.
Looking at Yin Rong's diligent and diligent appearance of washing dishes, Li Ruo was in a daze, as if...
"It's you!"
Li Ruo suddenly remembered, she said how could she be so familiar with Yin Rong washing the dishes.It turned out that she had seen this scene many years ago.
It happened to be the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, and Li Ruoyi couldn't remember exactly why he, his master and his younger brother went to that town at that time.
She only remembered that it was raining heavily at that time, crackling and making all the pedestrians look like the small teahouse in the town.And at that time, she was standing in front of the door wringing her already soaked clothes, and at that time, she saw a man in purple, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and the rain fell down along the umbrella surface, forming a rain curtain.But when she raised her head inadvertently, she saw a face as gentle as jade with a smile on its brows.
"Excuse me." The man spoke extraordinarily softly, and there was always a little smile on his pretty face, and he was very polite to everyone.
That was the first time I saw him, a quick glance, but it wasn't really impressive.only later...
"Your dishwashing skills are still so poor." Li Ruo walked over with a half-smile, took the bowl Yin Rong had washed in his hand, and wiped the surface of the bowl with his fingertips. "Still greasy."
"Heh." Seeing Li Ruo's actions, Yin Rong took the bowl in her hand and put it back into the water with a smile, "Princess, do you remember?"
Li Ruo couldn't help laughing, how could she forget this.
At that time, she, her master and her younger brother were sheltering from the rain in the wing room of the teahouse, drinking tea and gossiping, but just after the rain stopped, they were about to pack their things and go to the inn when they heard a burst of noise from downstairs. Noise.
"You seem to be well-dressed, but you are a master who eats the king's meal!" The shopkeeper stood at the door with his hips akimbo, his fat body directly blocked the door tightly, and let those who were planning to go out All the guests complained.Seeing everyone rushing to go out, the shopkeeper didn't care, he just pointed at the man in front of him and said, "I don't care, we are a small business, but we can't make trouble for you freeloaders, you have to pay, or you Find someone to help you pay the money, otherwise no one will be able to pass here."
"Why are you doing this, boss? What does this matter have to do with us!" Several customers on the side were noisy for a long time, but no one came out to help with the checkout.Li Ruo slandered, so he had no choice but to walk over, just took out the money, but didn't realize that the person next to him was the person he had met just now, so he said a little funny, "It's you?"
The man was a little embarrassed, but Li Ruo's words still earned him a faint smile.
"Okay, the bookmaker is done." Throwing the money over, Li Ruo waved his hand impatiently, "Get out, good dogs don't get in the way!"
The shopkeeper smiled happily after receiving the money, but what Li Ruo said made him unhappy.I saw him shaking the fat on his body, "What's the matter! What do you mean! This teahouse belongs to me, can I block the door?"
Li Ruo sneered, and was just about to wave his hand to push the bullying shopkeeper away, but the person who hadn't spoken for a long time bowed slowly, apologizing, "This girl is also impatient, so don't blame the shopkeeper, since this The bill has already been settled, so if you have a large number of adults, let's make way."
In the end, everyone walked out of the inn smoothly, Li Ruo only thought it was a farce and didn't take it to heart.It's just that I didn't expect that when I went to the kitchen to find some food that night, I ran into him again in the backyard.
It's just that he was no longer a heroic young man at that time, but squatting in front of the sink, silently washing the dishes.
"It's you again." Li Ruo held the wild fruit from the kitchen in her mouth, and leaned against the tree beside her and looked at him with interest.
"Miss, it worked. The coil was stolen today, that's why..." He lowered his head helplessly, but the next moment he smiled, "Thank you, miss."
"You don't need to thank me." Looking at his clumsy appearance, Li Ruo said a little amusedly, "But you are here to prepare...to work?" Commit yourself to doing odd jobs in this shitty place.
"Oh, I'm penniless now. The owner of this inn said that as long as I wash all these dishes, I can find me a seat in the general shop."
"Heh." Li Ruo smiled wryly, seeing that he was serious about washing the dishes, she couldn't help saying, "Since you don't have any silver taels, you must have not eaten yet."
The man nodded with a wry smile.
"Then let me make you something."
"Do not--"
"It's okay, I'm hungry too, it's just that if I eat alone, I don't bother to clean up." Li Ruo said as he walked inside, "Of course, you clean up after eating."
On such an unremarkable night, Li Ruo casually burned such a bowl of lion's head, and Yin Rong almost remembered it for the rest of his life.
"When did those dishes finish washing that day?" It was too late that day, so Li Ruo couldn't bear it anymore and went to bed
"Zi Shi, it's indeed too late." Yin Rong was about to take the newly washed bowls into the kitchen when he heard Li Ruo laughing behind him, "Stay aside. Wash it once, I don't dare to use the dishes you wash."
Seeing Yin Rong walking out, Li Ruo sized her up, a little unbelievable, "Yin Rong, I never thought that that person was you!"
"Why, doesn't it look like it?"
"Not at all, not at all! At that time, you looked like a scholar, and you don't have the heroic demeanor you are now."
Li Ruo is in a good mood, and it's not just for any reason, it's just that the memories of that year are reminded again, and there is a feeling of returning to the past in a trance. The unspeakable fate among them.
Who would have known that the passers-by who met in a hurry more than ten years ago would meet again under such circumstances.
"How do you know the identity of this palace?"
"Because I met Shen Junhua, I know that this Shen Junhua has two apprentices, one is named Ah Man, and the other is the eldest princess."
Oh, it turned out to be like this.
Sitting in the yard, Li Ruo heard Yin Rong mention those two names, and suddenly missed them a little.I just don't know where they are traveling in the mountains and rivers now.
"Why did you go there back then?" Li Ruo inadvertently asked, but seeing Yin Rong's face showed embarrassment, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Why, is there anything else you can't say?"
"This matter..." Yin Rong hesitated, "Back then, my father gave Weichen a date of birth and asked him to go to the town to find someone, but there was no result, so Weichen came back."
Seeing Yin Rong's somewhat lonely look, it seems that he obviously cares about what he failed to do, so Li Ruo could only shake his head with a wry smile.
As the night fell and the stars were few and far between, Li Ruo and Yin Rong chattered for a long time, but the time passed quickly.
"Princess." Yin Rong couldn't help laughing seeing someone lying there who seemed to be asleep.
She probably didn't take it to heart at all, but that night was an unforgettable night for herself.In such a predicament, it is rare for someone to help me again and again, and...
Yin Rong bent down, smiled happily, bent down and kissed the forehead of the person in front of him.
Moreover, letting her eat such a delicious meal of lion's head is really unforgettable.
Da Heng picked up Li Ruo, and Yin Rong took Li Ruo back to the yard with ease, now that Hong Xing was not around, and no one was there to take care of her, Yin Rong told Uncle Gong to dismiss him, and then went back to the General's Mansion alone.
The next day, Li Ruo woke up very early, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was sleeping in the room in a trance, and when he thought about it, he felt a little ridiculous.
Last night, he fell asleep just like that.
She drank so much wine before that she didn't get drunk and fell asleep, but this time when Yin Rong told her about her experience in the past few years, she fell asleep so defenselessly.
What happened to her?How could such a stupid thing be done?
"Master, the carriage is ready."
Uncle Gong's words outside the room interrupted Li Ruo's thinking, "Okay." After changing his clothes, Li Ruo walked out quickly.
"Eunuch Li, where did the emperor stay last night?" After entering the palace, Li Ruo asked outside the imperial study.
"At Chen Jieyu's place."
Li Ruo was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that Hong Xing's surname was Chen.
"Excuse me, Eunuch." Seeing that Li Su still had important matters to do, Li Ruo went to Yongyuan Palace first.
