Chapter 32

After leaving the palace, Chen Ce looked back and saw that the building with alternating black and red colors stood behind it and had not fallen down for hundreds of years, like an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Above the palace building, there is a Kyoto guard who is stationary but extremely serious on guard, making the entire atmosphere of the palace even more solemn and solemn.

Chen Ce couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This palace is really not a place for ordinary people to stay. When the emperor stood behind Zi Qing just now, I didn't dare to breathe heavily."

Xiao Musheng was stunned for a moment and said with a little surprise: "Is the emperor standing behind me just now?"

"Yes, just standing behind you lasted half an hour." Wen Xu felt emotional and asked: "So what did you write? It aroused the emperor's interest."

Xiao Musheng shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't tell you now. I'll tell you after the results of the palace examination come out."

Chen Ce and Wen Xu looked at each other and understood clearly. They guessed that the content written by Xiao Musheng must be extremely sensitive, otherwise he would not be so cautious.

Seeing that their expressions became serious, Xiao Musheng suddenly suggested: "Since it's almost noon, let's go find a place to eat first!"

This was what Chen Ce wanted, and he quickly said: "I heard that at the end of Linhe Lane in Shengjing, there is a Yipin tofu shop. The Xishi tofu made in that shop is so tender and smooth that it melts in your mouth, and it is served with special meat.

Jiang, business is very good..."

Having said this, he looked at Wen Xu and asked, "Brother Yan Chu rarely goes out, and I'm afraid he has never tasted it. Is he interested?"

"Slightly interested."

Wen Xu nodded slightly, and after answering, he looked at Xiao Musheng again, as if asking his opinion.

Seeing the two of them looking at him at the same time, Xiao Musheng smiled helplessly and said, "In that case, let's go there!"

He happened to have some questions that he wanted to ask Wen Xu...

After arriving at Yipin Tofu Shop, as Chen Ce said just now, the business is indeed very good.

The person in charge of entertaining the guests was a middle-aged woman. Her hair was lightly tied in a bun, she wore a cloth scarf on her head, and a robe tied around her waist. She spoke in a loud voice, and just as the food was being served, she was carrying three or four plates of food without spilling any food.

Give out even a cent.

Seeing Xiao Musheng and others coming, the middle-aged woman hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How many of you are there, please?"

Chen Ce habitually opened the fan he just bought from the vendor and said calmly: "You three, find a quieter place."

The woman clapped her hands and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. There happens to be an empty seat by the window upstairs in the shop. It's quiet there. Please follow me, three guests."

As she said that, the woman walked in front and led the way. When she reached the vacant seat she mentioned, she raised her hand to open the bamboo curtain in front of the window, then turned around and asked, "Third guest, please take a look. Do you think this seat is suitable?"

Still satisfied?"

Chen Ce took out a piece of silver and handed it to the woman and said: "The three of us are here mainly because we want to try the Xishi tofu. You can choose the other dishes at the store."

The woman smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed to slits. After taking the ingot of silver with both hands, she quickly said: "Don't worry, sir, you will be satisfied with the food in the shop."

As she said that, she saw that the three people seemed to have other things to discuss, so she shut up knowingly and said: "Then I won't bother you. It will be a while before the dishes are served. You three can drink some tea and eat some first."

dessert."

After saying that, the woman turned and left. When she walked to the door, she paused for a few breaths. Seeing that no one stopped her, she walked out and closed the door again.

There was a wooden tray on the table, with several inverted porcelain cups placed on the tray. Wen Xu walked to the table, took out three cups, and poured water from the teapot into the cups.

When he saw that the tea in the cup was seventy percent full, he put down the teapot and said, "Zi Qing, what do you want to say to me?"

Xiao Musheng was not surprised at all. He just picked up a teacup and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you Yanchu."

He looked out the window, seemingly feeling emotional, sighed, and turned to look at Wen Xu again, with a complex expression that others could not understand.
