The two boys have two different temperaments. One is taciturn and trustworthy at first sight, his name is Liang An, and the other is Liang Cheng, who smiles before he speaks and is as sharp-tongued as a machine gun.

When he went out, Lin Xiaoman asked someone to find two clothes for ordinary children.

After putting it on, I just felt that it was too gorgeous, only slightly worse than the ones the emperor had ordered to prepare.

Lin Xiaoman usually wears coarse linen clothes most of the time when working, and rarely wears clothes like this. When he first put on his upper body, he was still a little uncomfortable, especially the calluses left on his palms from doing farm work before, which would be picked up wherever he touched them.

She had no place to put her hands.

I don’t know how many people will turn around when walking on the street like this.

After exiting the princess's mansion through the back door, the back alley is very wide, but there are no people there. Occasionally, someone passes by, but they only glance at them briefly and give them a kind smile.

If they meet servants dressed up, even if they have never seen them before, they will greet them from a distance. No one cares about what they are wearing. Gradually, the two siblings relax.

When she entered the city before, she always sat in a carriage, and the world she could see was only as big as a window. She heard that the Princess's Mansion was not far from the palace, but she didn't feel much about it.

At this time, I was standing next to an old tree in the alley and listened to the young man Liangcheng saying: "Princess, Xiaolian, this tree has a history of thousands of years. If you climb to the top of the tree, you can see clearly how the emperor handles government affairs."

Where is the little beast on the top of Yuandian Hall?"

Although it is an exaggeration, it shows how close the Princess's Mansion is to the Royal Palace.

The alley where the Princess's Mansion is located is called Shizi Alley. In addition to the emperor's relatives and relatives, there are also important officials in the court. The lowest ones are second-rank officials. Officials like third- and fourth-rank officials can only go further up.

Living in Quezhi Hutong, even if you have money, you are not qualified to buy a house in Shizi Hutong.

After all, most of the houses in Shizi Hutong were given by the emperor. Only the emperor would grant a house here if he liked it.

Lin Xiaoman glanced at the tree a few times, always feeling that such a tree growing in an alley where high-ranking officials gathered would make it easier for someone to observe each household.

Liangcheng introduced the neighbors to his siblings and said: "Princess, I'm afraid you don't know. The current Princess's Mansion was originally the residence of Fu Gaocai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Last year, Mr. Fu made a lot of nonsense in the Golden Palace.

After being condemned by the emperor, his family was confiscated and exiled. I don’t know how many people were watching this mansion, but no one expected that the emperor would give it to the princess in the end."

What appeared in Lin Xiaoman's mind was an old man with gray hair and beard, who always stared and argued with others.

Unlike other exiled officials who went to teach at Xu Qiuliang's place, Mr. Fu was a very noisy old man. He didn't like to sit in the yard drinking tea and admiring flowers. He only liked running in the fields.

No matter how many people said how much the output had increased after planting the high-yield rice seeds and high-yield grain seeds that Lin Xiaoman proposed last year, he refused to believe it. Every time they met, he would glare at Lin Xiaoman, as if he was accusing her of deceiving the Holy Emperor.<

/p>

Tsk tsk, even though he has been exiled, he is still so loyal and patriotic. The old man is somewhat foolish and loyal.

This year, Fu Gaocai took the Fu family who were exiled with him and opened more than ten acres of wasteland. He insisted on planting it himself, saying that he wanted to expose Lin Xiaoman's lies. Seeing him running in the fields all day long, he was so tired that he screamed.

I don’t know what he is planning.

In the past, Lin Xiaoman only thought that he had a weird temper, but now that he thinks about it, he understands him somewhat. He is a stubborn old man who will do anything if he doesn't accept it. In his whole life, he has never understood what the emperor likes to hear and how to speak so as not to make the emperor angry.
p>

Haha, I wonder what the old man’s reaction will be when he sees her again after being slapped in the face if she really grows high-yielding grain this year.

Thinking of the way the old man stared and jumped and cursed, Lin Xiaoman understood why the emperor wanted to exile him. No one would like a stubborn old man who liked to point at his nose and scold him when nothing happened, especially the emperor.

It's a mercy if he clicks.

But having said that, if she doesn't like him and dismisses him from office, why does he have to be sent to Qingping County? She doesn't like this kind of old man who likes to jump around and get angry when he doesn't get along.

Sigh, what if the old man finds out that his mansion belongs to him, how can he scold her?

There are few people in Shizi Hutong. Occasionally, when someone passes by someone's sedan chair, they will lean to the side and walk politely. People who don't recognize them will nod to indicate. There is no domineering or deliberately making things difficult for others as shown on TV.

things.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we came out of Shizi Alley. Liangcheng introduced us all the way. Apart from the neighbors, Lin Xiaoman didn't remember many of them.

Just listening to Liangcheng say that this is the prime minister's palace, that is the grand master's palace, that is the prince's palace... She felt dizzy when she heard it, and prayed in her heart that she had to put her tail between her legs when going out, and don't offend anyone she shouldn't offend.

After all, she didn’t even know who wanted to kill them, maybe it was one of her neighbors.

The street outside Shizi Hutong is also quieter than when I first entered the capital, but the quality of the restaurants and tea houses next to it is not ordinary. I don’t know how it tastes, but it looks expensive.

Liangcheng said: "This street is called Zhengyang Street, leading to the palace. Officials usually go here to go to court. There will also be restaurants setting up stalls here to sell breakfast before the morning court. Whenever after the court, the restaurants and teahouses on both sides will

Get lively."

After saying that, he lowered his voice and said to the siblings: "The things inside are very expensive, almost several times the price outside, especially those two families where someone is a royal chef in the palace. The cheapest dish costs one or two taels."

Where is the silver?"

The two siblings looked at the two restaurants he pointed at. They looked more impressive than other restaurants, and they really wanted to go in and have a taste.

But it’s obviously not the next court time yet, and there are no customers in the restaurant or teahouse.

Lin Erhu asked: "How do those two families taste?"

Liangcheng shook his head helplessly, "How can I have the luck to eat there? I heard it's not bad, but it's still a little worse than the imperial meal."

Thinking about the imperial meal we had last night, the ingredients were excellent, the cuts were excellent, and the cooking was excellent, but when it comes to deliciousness, it still can’t compare to the deliciousness of later generations that has been combined with thousands of years of experience.

Well, I’m not looking forward to the food in those two restaurants anymore.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone say something behind me. When I turned around, I saw the Liangchen Meijing sisters standing there, with three ladies in luxurious clothes beside them.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman turn around, Cui Liangchen smiled and said: "It's really the princess. Isn't this a coincidence? Liangchen gives my regards to the princess."

Cui Meijing also followed Cui Liangchen to give Lin Xiaoman a gift.

Don't hit the smiling person, Lin Xiaoman doesn't like the Qian siblings, but when he went to Wuzhou Prefecture before, Magistrate Cui treated him well and had some impressions of him, so he didn't have any bad feelings towards the Cui sisters.

Especially after I heard that they were struggling to survive in the hands of their stepmothers, I felt more sympathy for them.
