Chapter 13 Is this also a characteristic of Kyoto?
Chapter 13 Is this also a Kyoto characteristic?
Ye Sili smiled awkwardly, and broke the deadlock, saying: "Since His Highness Yasu is not satisfied with this marriage, please explain it to the Emperor as soon as possible, so as not to misunderstand you two."
It's hard for Xiao Ling to disagree.
Chu Yan looked a little embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid I can't say it yet."
Chu Yan knew that Ye Sili and the two were confused, so he said: "This marriage was decided by our ancestors and concerns both countries. If there is no convincing reason, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
For a moment, all three of them were a little sad. After a moment, Xiao Lingcai said nonchalantly:
"Harm, as long as you and I are firmly against it and don't mention marriage now, it will always be time. Since you don't want to get married, then we can still be considered allies, but we are not allowed to rebel!" After that, Xiao Ling pretended to be fierce.
His appearance frightened Chu Yan.
"nature."
"We need to think long term at this time, and I can't think of any good solution for a while." Xiao Ling knocked on his head and said seriously.
Ye Sili looked at Shichen, looked at the two of them with a smile, and said, "That's better..."
Xiao Ling looked at Si Li, and the two of them reached an agreement instantly. They turned to look at Chu Jin and said in unison:
"Let's go eat!"
"..." Chu Jin looked up at the sky and said:
"Isn't it too soon?"
Ye Sili and the two came out early in the morning. It was indeed early at this time. However, because they left home too early and were worried about this matter, they did not dare to delay for a moment. They rushed out without using their breakfast.
I've been hungry for a long time.
"It's not too late, it's not too early. I can take you for a walk now when I return to the city." Xiao Ling said quickly.
"Yes! You are in for a treat. I have booked a private room in Zuiyun Tower before. Let me tell you, the cooking skills of the chefs in Zuiyun Tower in Kyoto are excellent. I guarantee that you will still miss you when you return to Daliang!" Ye Sili said.
Said without exaggeration.
The three of them chatted and then returned to the city. Ye Sili and Xiao Ling showed their friendship as landlords to the best of their ability. They took Chu Jin to visit the two busiest streets one by one while giving him
Introduction, and don’t forget to buy some delicious things.
"We're here, it's here!" Ye Sili stopped and pointed to a restaurant in front of him. The words "Zuiyun Tower" were written on the large plaque. Even though it was not yet noon, the restaurant was already full of people.
Chu Yan looked around. This restaurant was not in a busy part of the street. Instead, it was at the corner at the end of a not-so-busy street. He looked at the inscription on the plaque again. After Xiao Ling swallowed the sesame cake, he said,
He said proudly:
"As you can imagine, the inscription on this plaque was written by my father!"
It turns out that it was given by the current Holy One. No wonder the business is so good.
As soon as Ye Sili entered the door, a sharp-eyed waiter immediately greeted her and led the three of them to the private room upstairs.
"You can, last time I made a reservation a long time in advance." Xiao Ling lifted up her skirt and sat down.
Ye Sili was sitting in her usual seat, by the window, and could clearly see downstairs.
Xiao Ling complained that she was thirsty, and the waiter brought hot water. Ye Sili cleaned her hands, took the hot towel handed over by the waiter, and wiped away the water stains. Ye Sili raised her hand to pick up the tea cup, and the water flowed smoothly.
For a moment, I could only hear the soft sound of water in the cup, echoing in circles in the ink-colored tea cup, but not overflowing at all.
There was a complete set of tea sets neatly displayed on the table. Ye Sili handled it gently, but his hand movements were calm and leisurely, as if he had practiced it thousands of times...
After a while, the light aroma of tea floated out. Ye Sili first made a cup and handed it to Chu Jin, and then made a cup for Xiao Ling and herself.
Xiao Ling took the tea with satisfaction, drank it all in one gulp, and handed the cup back again. She looked at Si Li happily, and Ye Si Li poured another cup for her.
Chu Yan picked up the tea cup, smelled it carefully, and his eyes showed appreciation. He took another sip, his face softened, and he took another sip before putting it down, his eyes full of surprise.
"I didn't expect Princess Le'an to have such abilities?"
Ye Sili smiled lightly. Every time she came to Zuiyun Tower, Mu Jiufeng and Xiao Ling would pester her to make tea, saying that the tea she brewed had a unique fragrance. What exactly was it?
I can’t tell.
"That's right, our Si Li has many skills. Don't you know that not only is her tea making skills outstanding, but her cooking skills are also top notch! Speaking of which, I haven't tasted Si Li's cooking skills for some days.
Now." Xiao Ling praised her sisters without any hesitation, she just couldn't stop talking.
Ye Sili asked the waiter to put away the tea set, and then ordered the food to be served.
Chu Yan watched the waiter put away the tea set just now, and realized that this tea set probably belonged to them.
After a while, all the delicious food, wine and meat were served, and the table was instantly filled.
"Your Highness is really in luck today. These dishes are usually hard to eat. This is the only one in Kyoto. Try it quickly?" Xiao Ling said enthusiastically while pouring wine for Chu Yan and said:
"This wine is also a good daughter's red. I usually want to drink it, but Si Li is reluctant to give it to me." Xiao Ling even complained as she spoke.
After leaving the palace, the misunderstanding was resolved, and the three of them relaxed a lot. They were no longer restrained in their speech and behavior. The three of them chatted freely and freely, and it almost felt like they had met so late. It was such a joyful chat!
Chu Jin must have stayed in the palace for a long time. Now that he finally came out, he couldn't help but drink a few more drinks. Or maybe the daughter Hong's stamina was too strong, so the three of them were actually a little dizzy.
"Come on, keep drinking!" Xiao Ling directly picked up the wine bottle, filled it for Ye Sili and Chu Yan, poured a full glass for himself, clinked glasses with them and drank it all in one gulp.
Suddenly, the door of the elegant room was pushed open, and the three of them looked at the door, shocked.
They saw a group of disheveled women rushing towards the three of them. The three of them were so frightened that they immediately stood up and stared blankly at the group of women who suddenly broke in.
Chu Jin was a little confused, and slowly turned his head to look at Si Li and Xiao Ling standing at the table, and asked confusedly:
"Is this also a... characteristic of your Kyoto?"
When he opened his mouth, Xiao Ling and Ye Sili reacted. They both stepped forward to protect Chu Jin behind them. However, both of them had drunk wine and their steps were sloppy. The woman in front gave them a slight push and they were pushed away.
"The Crowd" was launched.
I saw a group of women rushing towards Chu Jin who was stunned on the spot. Ye Sili and Xiao Ling did not recover and could only look at each other.
Seeing that the woman in front of him was about to pounce on Chu Jin, Chu Jin swayed and dodged in time, but before he could stand firmly, one of his sleeves was grabbed by someone.
Before he could break free, Chu Jin was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and was instantly surrounded.
Chu Yan looked at the group of women clinging to him. Although he was a prince, he had never seen such a situation before. For a moment, he couldn't break away. He looked at Ye Sili and Xiao Ling who were squeezed outside as if asking for help.
.
Ye Sili received Chu Jin's request for help. He was the Prince of Liang. If something bad happened, she would tell him here today!
Suddenly her head sobered up a bit. She held on to the wall and staggered towards the door, but she happened to bump into the waiter who was rushing to catch up.
"Pull them out quickly!" Ye Sili's voice was low, but the anger could be heard.
The waiter quickly called to the people behind him to pull the women away. Those women still seemed to be unwilling to give up and tried hard to hold on to Chu Jin's clothes.
When Ye Sili saw this, he didn't know where he got the strength. He stepped forward and brushed away the women's hands, protecting Chu Jin behind him.
"presumptuous!"
Ye Sili shouted angrily, and all the women in the room were startled. Ye Sili glanced at them one by one, his eyes were drunk but very sharp. Before the women could make any move, Ye Sili shouted coldly:
"Robbing someone from the hands of this princess, what? Do you want to go to Yugong Mansion to sit there?!"
When everyone heard about "Yu Gong's Mansion", they all froze and showed fear on their faces. Ye Sili's eyes were cold and he was about to open his mouth to give instructions. All the women in front of him ran away in panic. In an instant, only the rest of the private room was left.
The three of them and the waiter who came in to help got off.
The waiter bent over and apologized repeatedly, saying that there was water in the backyard just now. They all rushed over and slipped in without paying attention. Ye Sili was a little confused and wanted to ask, but she looked at Xiao who was in shock.
Linghe and the pale-faced Chu Jin didn't ask any more questions and let the waiter go down.
Chu Yan was a little more awake at this moment. She patted the remaining rouge and gouache on her body with disgust. She also took a towel and wiped her hands several times. Then she sat down and poured a cup of hot tea to calm down.
Slow down.
After a long time, he finally said:
"Si Li, I didn't expect that you still had two brushes, and you actually drank those crazy women." Chu Jin was still shocked when he thought of the situation just now!
Ye Sili and Xiao Ling were indeed frightened. The group of women just now looked like they were not serious people. They had never seen these before. Ye Sili also drank two cups of tea, took several deep breaths, and then slowly said
:
"I didn't stop them by drinking. They were scared away after hearing the word 'Yu Gong's Mansion'."
Although Yu Gong's Mansion is just Ye Zhongyao's residence and there is nothing to fear, but... the Ye family has been a general for generations after all, and whether it is the private soldiers in their hands or the secret prisons built privately, it is an open secret.
If the Ye family didn't have a private prison and had so many enemies over the generations, and there were countless enemies, they couldn't all be imprisoned in the Kyoto Prefectural Prison, right?
In fact, this was indeed the case at first, but gradually, the prison officials found it really troublesome. These people could not be released after all. They were always on tenterhooks when they were imprisoned there. They were always worried about their accomplices robbing the prison.
I thought, the private prison in Yugong Mansion was famously tight, so they didn't bother to take over it.
Again, as long as these open secrets are kept to an appropriate level and should not be overstepped, the higher-ups will naturally turn a blind eye.
It has been passed down from generation to generation, and by now, everyone in Kyoto probably knows about the private prison of Yugong Mansion, right? Although no one has ever seen it, the name is indeed so thunderous that it makes those who hear it feel intimidated!
As for why no outsider has seen it, it is very simple. Anyone who is lucky enough to go in will be there for the rest of his life...
