Chapter 837 It’s really insulting to be polite (second update)
The scone uncle wrapped two hot, crispy scones and handed them to Luo Fengtang with both hands.
When he saw that he had put five pennies, the scone uncle said quickly: "One penny each, sir, you gave me three more pennies..."
Luo Fengtang turned around and looked at the pancake. Next to Uncle Pancake's legs, there was a little boy holding onto the uncle's pants with one hand and stuffing his dirty little hand in his mouth.
“It’s hot, buy your child a bowl of sour plum soup to relieve the heat!”
After saying that, he got on the horse with the hot sesame scones in hand.
During this process, Princess Bingqing had already ordered the team to stop where they were.
Seeing Luo Fengtang come back with two scones, she couldn't help but lift the curtain and reveal a delicate face that had been carefully traced.
“I didn’t expect General Luo to like eating scones so much?” she asked.
Luo Fengtang hooked up his lower lip, said nothing to Bingqing, and galloped out with his legs tucked under the horse's belly.
He rushed to the front of the team and walked with the palace guards who were opening the way.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Bingqing’s eyes.
But when she saw the figure sitting on horseback directly in front of the team again.
The shame in his eyes was quickly replaced by sweetness and shyness.
She put down the curtain, and the team moved forward, heading towards the 'First Grade Qingfeng Pavilion' in front.
After the motorcade passed by, Yang Ruoqing stood up from the side.
I sniffed the sweet aroma of the scones hard, and my mouth almost watered.
She used to like eating these scones when she was in Qingshui Town.
The locals call it 'sole board'.
Things were tight at that time, and every time she and Tang Yazi sent tofu to town, she could skip the shredded pork noodles, but she had to eat 'shoe soles'.
And only eat sweet things.
After I came to Xiushui Town, I searched all over the town but couldn’t find him.
She didn’t have time to cook it on the stove herself, so she never ate it again.
Luo Fengtang didn’t just get off her horse and buy this scone. She didn’t know that the enthusiastic uncle made ‘sole boards’.
It smells so good. It smells so good.
She took a few more puffs and decided to buy a dozen as usual.
But right now, she has other serious things to do, so take it easy.
So, she quickly followed Princess Bingqing’s team to see where Tang Yazi was going!
This time, we followed to a three-story restaurant on the Licheng River.
“Yipin Qingfeng Pavilion?”
Yang Ruoqing raised her head and looked at the restaurant. She hadn't even entered yet. From the outside, she felt that the restaurant had a high-end atmosphere.
It seems to be the most upscale gathering place in Licheng.
She followed the restaurant.
After asking around, I found out that Princess Bingqing and her party had gone to the third floor.
Compared with the spacious and bright first floor and the grandeur of the second floor, the third floor gives people a sense of elegance.
Carved pear wood screens divide the lobby into several large and small areas.
Princess Bingqing and his party were sitting in the innermost area called ‘Linjiang Immortal’.
Outside the screen, there is an arched carved door frame with colorful pearls and agate hanging down.
Curtains and screens blocked Yang Ruoqing's sight.
She only saw two royal guards with swords standing outside the curtain.
Like a doorkeeper, he guards the entrance and only lets the waiters in the restaurant come in to deliver food and drinks.
However, the sounds of laughter and greetings continued to come from behind the curtains and screens.
Yang Ruoqing did not rush over, but found a table next to the 'Linjiang Fairy' and sat down.
I ordered a pot of scented tea and two snacks, and tasted them slowly, while my ears caught the movement next door.
Linjiang Fairy.
When Luo Fengtang and Princess Bingqing arrived, Kang Sheng was already sitting there with several richly dressed men, drinking tea, chatting and laughing.
As the host of tonight's banquet, Kang Sheng suppressed his hostility towards Luo Fengtang, stood up and greeted him with a bright smile. Then, he introduced everyone present one by one.
After getting to know each other, Luo Fengtang was as loud as a bull when he heard about these people’s complicated family backgrounds and their official titles or academic titles.
Having never attended school for even half a day, he learned all the words he knew from Qing'er.
For these so-called "Xu members" and "Fang Jieyuan", it is impossible to tell who is who.
He went through the entire introduction process with the same expression, and then sat down calmly.
On this side, except for Princess Bingqing, who was in love with Luo Fengtang, everyone else had elegant and kind smiles on their faces.
But the expression was obviously perfunctory, and the bottom of my heart was even more contempt.
Kang Sheng, Mr. Kang, invited me to this restaurant tonight. I just heard that Mr. Kang also invited Princess Bingqing and another distinguished guest.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that it was a small guard commanding the generals, or was he recently promoted?
Hmph!
To sit at the same table and drink with such a reckless man is really an insult to gentleness!
Because of Princess Bingqing’s face, no one could say much.
The banquet began in a seemingly good atmosphere.
After drinking for three rounds, Kang Sheng stood up.
"Brothers and friends, in this beautiful city, it is an honor for me, Kang, for you to come and participate in this banquet." Kang Sheng said.
Everyone laughed.
Luo Fengtang also had a faint smile on his face. He picked up the tea cup in front of him with his slender fingers and drank it leisurely.
When he just came in, he already knew the layout of the restaurant.
Waiting to urinate and run away seems like a good idea, right?
While he was thinking about it, the topic was brought to him.
Just listen to Kang Sheng smile and say: "Brother Luo, why are you drinking tea by yourself? No matter how refreshing the tea is, it cannot overwhelm the guests."
"Everyone is in high spirits at this banquet tonight. "How about we drink wine and write poems?" Kang Sheng asked again.
This boy surnamed Luo, the sword dance overpowered him at the last celebration banquet.
The more I think about this these days, the more annoyed I become.
Since fighting by force doesn’t work, then let’s do it in writing.
If I don’t want you to lose face and make a fool of yourself, I won’t be named Kang.
Writing poetry?
Before Luo Fengtang could react, Princess Bingqing, who was sitting next to him, spoke up first.
"Mr. Kang, let's just get together and have a drink and taste the delicious food. You don't have to write poems, right?"
Seeing Princess Bingqing defending Luo Fengtang like this, Kang Sheng became even more angry.
The smile on his face became even brighter.
“It’s rare that everyone gathers together tonight, and everyone is in such high spirits. Just eating food and drinking wine is a bit vulgar and inconsistent with this elegant place!”
Kang Sheng said.
"We just have fun and entertainment, as long as everyone is happy!"
Hearing what Kang Sheng said, everyone else at the table nodded in agreement.
Princess Bingqing looked at Luo Fengtang with a troubled expression.
Luo Fengtang calmly put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at the people at the table, and smiled lightly.
"Luo is a rough man. He is good at leading troops in battles, but it is really difficult for me to recite poems and compose poems."
Kang Sheng said: "Brother Luo, why are you so humble? I heard earlier that you are a rare young talent with both civil and military skills."
"Our poems today are just for fun, limericks will do."
"Brother Luo, give me Mr. Kang a thin noodle, come on!"
Luo Fengtang pondered for a moment and nodded happily.
"If that's the case, then I'll just try to do whatever I want to do, and just be happy."
Kang Sheng was elated after receiving Luo Fengtang's promise.
