142. The Fifth Retirement World [14]

Yan Ling.

Zeng Shu kept chanting this name in her heart.

The smile in his eyes remains unchanged.

As a princess, it would be easy for her to investigate a person, but in the palace, when she saw the information investigated by her men, she once thought that they had investigated the wrong person.

It was not the special status she thought, but just an ordinary young master from a wealthy family.

The only difference is that this person is the real master behind the Wu Pavilion.

Tsk, no wonder that little fat man suddenly changed his personality when he saw her picking things in the Wu Pavilion that day. He co-authored this to trick her into taking advantage of her!

Zeng Shu tilted her head. Next to her, Yan Xuan was licking her tongue and biting the candy man.

You look so stupid? You can't stand it.

Forget it, as a princess, she is not as knowledgeable as such a stupid kid.

As for Yan Ling, the aura of a high-ranking person that almost gave her an illusion for a moment.

Maybe she is too sensitive.

After all, I haven't found it in the information. Maybe it's someone who reads harder than others when studying. Isn't there a saying? In the book, there is beauty like jade, and in the book, there is freedom. The golden house, in ancient times. Confucianism? Aren't there many powerful people who are not officials? But their magnanimity is something that even ordinary people cannot match.

Zeng Shu stretched out her hand and straightened her sleeves that were wrinkled while walking.

There was no further entanglement.

She imitated several of her brothers, raising her chin arrogantly.

His eyes are full of good mood.

She has been going out to play in the past few months, and she chose to wear men's clothing for convenience. It was indeed a bit uncomfortable at first, but after wearing it for a long time, she found that she was obviously more comfortable as a man than as a woman.

Zeng Shu raised her hand, and the maid next to her, who was also dressed in men's clothing, quickly handed over a fan made of landscape and ink painting paper.

There was a "swipe" sound.

The white face is half-covered by the fan, the cool breeze blows from the wings of the nose, and the features of the face are boyish and tacky.

At this moment, Zeng Shu felt like a real young man.

Ah, no, how can I become a young man! Wouldn't that be a mess?

I cursed myself secretly in my heart.

After all, she already has a future consort!

…

"Young Master Zeng is smiling happily. Could it be that we met a happy event today?"

Yan Ling chatted.

Zeng Shu was told that she was worried. She moved her fingers and was about to raise her sleeves to cover up her guilt, but then she remembered that she was now dressed as a man.

He paused briefly and chose to put his hands behind his back.

"Brother Yan has good eyesight. I did have something that made me happy today."

All the arrangements for the men have been made, and they are just waiting for the lights to come on at night.

"If Brother Yan has nothing to do today, you can stay later."

Zeng Shuyan smiled at Yan Yan, "I heard that there will be a grand lantern festival on this street tonight, which will surely amaze Brother Yan."

Yan Xuan just reacted, "No..."

"Young Master Zeng, since you said yes, it must be worth seeing." Yan Ling smiled and nodded.

Yan Xuan was anxious, "Brother, mother said? You must..."

Yan Ling lowered his head, the smile in his eyes unchanged, "My mother said it was not safe on the road, so she asked you to follow me, so that she can rest assured."

"Of course I'll keep it all in mind. You're still young. If you don't tell me, my mother is worried that something will happen to you. Even I, the elder brother, can't let you take care of me. People move alone, so when it gets dark, Xuan'er will of course follow me. "

Yan Ling didn't feel the slightest pang of conscience about his behavior of cheating his younger brother.

Yan Xuan simply admired her eldest brother's ability to confuse right and wrong.

Who wants to see the lanterns!

He is not interested in lanterns.

How can there be food and drink during the lanterns?

But what could he do as he was weak and innocent? Yan Xuan had exhausted all his strength. He was sure that if he insisted on confronting his eldest brother, even if he was justified, but when he got to his mother, with his eldest brother's ability to speak? With Bai's ability, he must be the one who suffers the most misfortune in the end.

Yan Xuan stuffed the last mouthful of candy into her mouth.

His face was tightly knitted.

The teeth in the small mouth make a "click-click" sound!

He decided to spend all his change for the past month today, so that even if he couldn't come out later, he would lose less.

He wants to buy the most expensive one!

Yan Xuan made a small calculation and waited for his money to be spent before spending his elder brother's money.

Who doesn't know how to roll around?

Anyway, no one on this street knows which family he is from, so he is not afraid of embarrassment!

…

Yan Xuan's thoughts are almost written on her face.

Yan Ling suppressed the smile on his lips.

Ahem, you can't laugh. If you do, this little guy will explode like a firecracker.

Zeng Shu didn't know the twists and turns between the two of them. She quickly said goodbye to Yan Ling and the others and walked in another direction with them.

…

Just when Yan Xuan was thinking about how to go back and explain.

Yan Ling sent someone back to tell him that he would be returning late to prevent Yan's father and Yan's mother from overthinking.

In addition to wandering around the streets in the afternoon, the two also went to a teahouse to listen to a play.

The first floor is a stage, and the outer ring of the first floor and the second floor are all seats.

Since the number of guests in the Wuge increased, Yan Ling had more spare money.

Without putting himself in a difficult position, Yan Ling and Yan Xuan booked a private room on the second floor.

The table was close to the fence on the second floor. As long as you looked up, you could see the stage below. It was a great seat in the opposite direction. In addition, the private rooms on the second floor were separated by screens, which made it look more beautiful and comfortable than ordinary teahouses and inns.

Private rooms can be seen almost everywhere in modern hotels and restaurants, but they were not very common in ancient times.

As ancient people could think of such commercial decorations, it is no wonder that this teahouse could become such a lively place in Shengjing.

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

As soon as the two sat down, the waiter came up to ask.

"Isn't this a teahouse? I don't like drinking tea." Yan Xuan said with a pout.

Thinking about it, I regretted not buying some snacks just now.

Just watching the show, even if his good friends in the school praised the show in this teahouse to the sky, he would still feel lonely.

Yan Xuan sighed sadly.

"Look at what the young master said, what you said is other teahouses. Although there are no big fish and meat in our teahouse, the food in our teahouse is not inferior to those other places."

The waiter handed over a menu written with a brush mysteriously.

Yan Ling's eyes suddenly became more interested.

This is really a coincidence!

The tea ordered at the beginning was quickly served.

In the porcelain tea bowl, the green tea leaves rose and fell.

Yan Ling took a sip, the taste was elegant, and the temperature was just right.

It was a completely different taste from the tea he drank in Yan's house.

After all, this was tea that had been processed differently.

Completely different from the ancient tea nowadays, which lacks the step of frying tea.

If he was not mistaken, he seemed to have glanced at milk tea on the menu just now?

It seems that the time traveler is not only rich in cultural knowledge, but also has a lot of experience in the food manufacturing industry.

Yan Xuan has never seen a menu like this, and his eyes lit up for a moment.

The chubby little fingers pointed flexibly.

"I want this custard bun, yes, and fried... fried chicken strips."

Although I don't know why chickens, as livestock, are related to willows, these are not important.

On the paper called the menu, in addition to rows of dish names, there are also paintings drawn by the painter next to each dish name.

Compared with the black, white and gray ink paintings commonly used by masters, the small paintings used to draw food are colorful, and even if you don't see the real finished product, you can almost imagine its fragrance.

Yan Xuan's little hands clicked faster.

"This, this, this, and that, yes, I want all of them."

"It doesn't matter, my big brother has money!"

"I won't be left without food. Even if I can't finish it, I can take it back to eat."

So, before the play started, Yan Ling and his table were already full.

...

The play in the audience finally started.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's performance is the eighteen farewells of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai!"

The voice of imitating the opera tune made everyone laugh.

"Big brother, do you know what this is about?"

"It's probably a farewell."

"That's so boring, eighteen farewells, is this scene about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai saying goodbye to each other eighteen times?"

"If we send them off like this, I'm afraid people will faint from hunger." Yan Xuan held food in his hand and kept talking.

Yan Ling laughed, "Really... even food can't stop you from eating."

"If you want to know, watch the show carefully."

In the expectation of everyone, the two people in costumes walked onto the stage.

...

Yan Xuan is the youngest child in the family.

At this time, children are most loved by women.

When people get old, they tend to be idle, and their children and grandchildren worry about the things they should worry about, which leads to the fact that several elderly people in the Yan family spend all their time watching shows.

The enthusiasm in their hearts is almost comparable to that of modern people chasing novels and TV series.

When Yan Xuan was still held in the arms of his family, he watched many operas.

In total, the little person may have watched more plays than adults, so he still has his own unique insights on watching plays.

Originally thought that the play he watched today was almost the same as the play he watched before, but unexpectedly, he discovered something extraordinary while watching.

"Oh my god! Brother, this Zhu Yingtai is actually a woman!"

"This... Is this called a woman dressed as a man?"

"They are classmates who see each other every day and have studied together for three years! This Liang Shanbo didn't even realize that his classmate is a woman."

"Is his eyesight bad?"

"No, it's not that his eyesight is bad, but he is blind."

Even if Yan Ling didn't answer, Yan Xuan was very excited to talk to himself.

Yan Ling suddenly thought of something and wanted to tease him, "According to what Xuan'er said, if you were Liang Shanbo, you would definitely not make a mistake?"

Yan Xuan's eyes rolled, what does brother mean by this?

To avoid his elder brother from pitting him again, Yan Xuan paused, "If it's the first time we meet, we are not familiar with each other, and it's normal that we didn't recognize each other at first when I was wearing men's clothes. After all, people are always careless."

"But, I think if we have eaten together, walked together, and talked together, we will definitely recognize each other."

"Are you sure?"

"——Of course I'm sure!" Yan Xuan blinked affirmatively.

Life is not as outrageous as drama. Not to mention that there are not many women dressed as men. Even if there are, girls are almost all weak and speak softly. If they speak loudly by accident, they will be shy and blush.

The cousins ​​in his grandfather's family are like this.

Not only that, he remembered that he caught an ant for fun last time, and his cousin who was ten years older than him screamed on the spot.

The sound cut through the sky!

Of course, it also included the sound of regret when he was spanked on the palm of his hand.
