Li Jingyi felt guilty, shrank her neck and said: "I suddenly had something happen this morning. I am not going to attend Mrs. Xiangguo's banquet tomorrow. I have to buy a set of nice clothes! Besides, I am going shopping with my sister. , you must not scold me."
The more Li Jingyi spoke, the lower her voice became, and she didn't even dare to look at Li Cangjue.
She knew very well that her brother held a grudge, and she was afraid that she would not have a good life in the next period of time.
Gu Qingying said: "Don't scare Jingyi, just sit down as soon as you come."
After saying that, let Tomato ask the shopkeeper how long he still has to wait before the food can be served.
When the tomatoes went down, they were empty-handed, but when they came back, they had a basin of mutton soup on the table.
Then roasted lamb and fried lamb were served one after another.
Shunzi, Hongshi and the others sat at another table, while Gu Qingying sat with Li Cangjue and the people brought by Shen Yunzheng.
The stewed mutton soup is as white as snow, with coriander and chopped green onion floating on it, which makes it very appetizing.
"I'm not welcome! Everyone is welcome." Lu Qingying couldn't help but scooped up a bowl of soup, took a small sip, and was immediately satisfied: "Comfortable!"
This mutton soup is particularly delicious, and the key is that it doesn't have the mutton smell.
Li Jingyi also scooped up a bowl of soup as he had done. In order to please Li Cangjue, she even took the initiative to scoop out a bowl for Li Cangjue and said with a bright smile: "Brother, drink."
Shen Yunzheng also greeted Ye Gongqing and Qin Guan to drink soup.
After everyone drank a bowl of mutton soup, they felt warm all over their bodies.
Qin Guan said in surprise: "Yun Zheng said before that he would bring us here to drink mutton soup. I didn't care about it, but now that I have tasted it, I know it is a good thing! It tastes better than the mutton soup I have had before."
Shen Yunzheng was particularly sullen. He glanced sideways at Qin Guan and said proudly: "I told you at that time that if you don't come, you will regret it for the rest of your life. This sheep is not simple. You can't buy it even if you want to. I am also stained by Qingying. Light. "
Li Cangjue had already finished a bowl of soup, raised his head and asked in confusion: "Where did the princess buy the sheep?"
Gu Qingying said perfunctorily: "It was a gift from a friend."
"Friend? Why didn't I know you had a friend who raised sheep?" Li Cangjue's tone was full of doubts and doubts.
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Qingying to explain it so clearly. He said with a "hum hum": "There are so many things you don't know. Hurry up and eat meat. Why are you asking so many questions? Mutton is delicious."
Li Jingyi put a piece of grilled lamb chop in a bowl and used chopsticks to pick the meat with difficulty. Gu Qingying looked at it helplessly.
He patted the back of Li Jingyi's hand, then directly picked up a piece of mutton chop, then held it with his hand and started to chew it. While chewing it, he said: "This is the only way to enjoy it. You are so gentle."
Li Jingyi was still a little reluctant to let go, but seeing Li Cangjue calmly pick up a piece of mutton chop and then eat it with his hands, she immediately felt embarrassed.
A large plate of lamb chops was divided up by everyone in just a few strokes.
Gu Qingying introduced at this time: "The grilled lamb chops are delicious, but the grilled lamb skewers are even better. I will teach the restaurant chef how to make the lamb skewers later, and I can serve this dish later."
Shen Yunzheng scooped up another bowl of soup and drank it, nodding repeatedly: "I'll listen to you."
After a hearty meal, full of food and drink, the waiter came to clear the table, and Gu Qingying sat aside to eat.
She saw that Li Cangjue had no intention of leaving, and she did not rush him. She usually should bicker and quarrel, but she still had to save face for Li Cangjue in front of outsiders.
Shen Yunzheng still said: "It's a pity that there are not many sheep. If the restaurant can sell sheep soup, the business will be good."
Li Jingyi said nonchalantly: "The market also sells mutton!"
When Shen Yunzheng heard this, he sighed deeply and said, "Ninth Princess, after drinking the mutton soup just now, do you want to drink other mutton soup?"
Li Jingyi was stunned by this question.
She had never thought about this question before, and now she understood Shen Yunzheng's emotion after being asked it.
It’s not like she didn’t drink mutton soup before. She would drink two bowls of mutton soup every year during the Winter Solstice Festival.
But even the mutton soup made by the imperial chef was not as delicious as what I drank today.
Shen Yunzheng said meaningfully: "What kind of sheep is the key."
Li Jingyi nodded immediately: "You're right, I really can't drink other mutton soups now. What do you say about this mutton? It tastes very good, but it doesn't have that smell, it's very fresh."
Shen Yunzheng didn't sit there for long before he left with Qin Guan and Ye Gongqing.
Hongshi also took Dongmei and the other four back home first.
Li Cangjue then said: "Introduce me to your friend who can raise sheep. I also want to buy a few sheep to eat."
He was very worried about this matter. How come he didn't know anything about the people around Gu Qingying.
Gu Qingying rolled her eyes at Li Cangjue and said perfunctorily: "I want to buy some sheep from the market! My friends don't have many sheep, so I had to get one with great difficulty. Even if you want to buy it, they won't sell it! But my friend I also raise rabbits, and the rabbit meat sold in the restaurant during this period is all sent by my friends."
Li Cangjue still wanted to ask, but saw that Gu Qingying was obviously impatient.
I had no choice but to swallow back what I wanted to ask.
After being silent for a while, Li Cangjue said, "Didn't you like to attend various banquets before?"
Gu Qingying stood up, stretched her waist and said: "The past was before, and the present is now. People will change, right?"
After speaking, he turned to look at Li Jingyi: "Do you want to go back with me?"
She really didn't want to be with Li Cangjue. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable all over when she was with Li Cangjue.
Li Jingyi quickly stood up and said flatteringly: "Brother, my sister and I have gone back!"
After saying that, he pulled Gu Qingying and ran out quickly.
Li Cangjue sighed and shook his head when he saw this scene.
In the afternoon, Shen San personally delivered the altered clothes to the palace.
Lu Qingying got the clothes and started trying them on. I have to say that the embroiderer's skills are very good. They fit snugly on her body and especially show off her figure.
Li Jingyi also put on a pink cotton coat and skirt. Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she always felt as beautiful as a fairy: "Sister, I look good in this!"
The two of them exchanged another burst of rainbow farts.
Early the next day, Li Jingyi's carriage was waiting outside. On such occasions, it was necessary to bring a maid. Gu Qingying brought Tomato, while Li Jingyi brought a maid named Qiao'er.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is not very far from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and the carriage ride only takes a cup of tea.
As soon as she got off the carriage at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Qingying was amazed. There were many carriages parked densely on both sides of the street.
"There seem to be a lot of people attending the banquet today?" Gu Qingying frowned imperceptibly and said.
Wherever there are people, there is a world. The more people there are, the more troubles there will be.
Li Jingyi also didn't like such a lively occasion, so she whispered: "If it's not interesting, let's leave after eating."
The two of them walked towards the prime minister's mansion. Before they entered the mansion, Gu Qingying heard Gu Lian'er's voice coming from behind.
"Sister, you're here too!" Gu Lian'er ran up with great enthusiasm.
