Chapter 68

Before Yan Mingting could make a move, Li Yucheng couldn’t wait to make a move, and greeted Fu Qian excitedly: “I am following orders, do you dare to fight back?”

Fu Qian didn’t dare, so he was punched several times, his face was bruised and swollen.

“I want you to be the most beautiful man in the capital, go back and see what you look like now.” Li Yucheng laughed with his hands on his hips.

Zhao Yelan bought another set of eighteen dumplings, turned around and went into the inn next to him, and began to enjoy the food.

Fu Qian had already run away in despair.

“That person is the most beautiful man in the capital?” Zuo Ran asked curiously, “Who chose it?”

“He will do it himself.” Li Yucheng picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately, “What is this, it’s so delicious!”

The taste is really good. The skin is thin and the stuffing is rich. When you bite into it, you will smell a scent first, and then the fresh and smooth stuffing will explode in your mouth. The salty and sweet flavors are perfectly intertwined. Even Zhao Yelan, who is used to delicious food, couldn’t help showing a surprised expression.

Yan Mingting stopped giving verbal praise, and ate like crazy, eating five or six in the blink of an eye, without fear of choking.

Zhao Yelan ordered a few more sweet soups in the inn, and the extra two bowls were placed in front of Yan Mingting.

“Oh, I said you can eat so much, why aren’t you fat?” Li Yucheng looked envious. The figure he wanted most was Yan Mingting’s. Turned into a muscle, it looks very strong, and the broad shoulders give people a strong sense of security!

“It’s just that you came back to Beijing late, otherwise there would be something wrong with Fu Qian, the title of the most beautiful man would not be his turn.” Li Yucheng sneered.

“How did it come to be his turn?” Zuo Ran asked.

“Among the children of the aristocratic family, compared to other people with big bellies and short hair, he is considered pretty. One day, after drinking too much, he would show off with a woman in his arms in a restaurant, calling himself the most handsome of the children of the aristocratic family in the capital. Good-looking man. After the word spread, it became an abbreviation without knowing it.” Li Yucheng said.

“But… even if the general is not in the capital, isn’t there Master Zhao?” Zuo Ran turned to look at Zhao Yelan, “How come no one mentioned Master Zhao?”

“Hey, how can ordinary people see him at any time? Most of them don’t know what Zhao Yelan looks like. Besides, people who know him are afraid to die. How dare they use it to judge whether a man is beautiful or not? What if Make people angry, and arrest you for a lifetime in prison, do you dare?” Li Yucheng said.

Zuo Ran was startled: “My lord is not so scary.”

“You don’t know much, don’t you see what Fu Qian is afraid of when he sees him? To be honest, I used to be afraid of him too.” After Li Yucheng finished speaking, he glanced over there secretly, and saw that the other party didn’t seem to be at all. Listening to them talking, she was tilting her head and muttering to Yan Mingting that she didn’t know what to say, she couldn’t help but sighed and shook her head, “I also never expected to see him with other men…”

Suddenly, a sharp line of sight from Zhao Yelan shot over, and Li Yucheng was startled, like a quail, shrunk his head and said, “Master Zhao and General Yan are the best match.”

Zuo Ran and Yin Pinglu looked at each other, lowered their heads and suppressed a smile.

Several people tasted several other delicious things. When they passed a silk shop, Zuo Ran and Yin Pinglu’s footsteps were a little slow. They wanted to go in and have a look, but they were too embarrassed to follow These big men said.

Just when they were quietly discussing to come back at night, Zhao Yelan passed in front of them and walked into the shop in a big way, followed by Yan Mingting, who seemed to have no pressure, and could even be said to be used to it.

The two were dumbfounded, and immediately followed in, and saw that Zhao Yelan had already started to pick, so they also looked dazzled.

Zhao Yelan bought a lot in one go, and he hasn’t spent money happily in all the time he’s been in the south of the Yangtze River. I’m going back to the capital soon, why don’t I buy more things I like and go back?

In one afternoon, Zhao Yelan bought a lot of things.

Yan Mingting’s arms were full of silk and satin, and he was carrying some pastries in his hands. There was also a small bag of shortbread hanging on the scabbard of his sword, which could be described as making the most of it.

“I’ll go back to the inn first and put these things away.” Yan Mingting hugged these things, almost losing sight of the road.

“All right.” Zhao Yelan pointed to a restaurant not far away, “We’ll wait for you there.”

“Okay.” Yan Mingting wobbled back to the inn first.

The others also had things in their hands, but they didn’t buy as much as Zhao Yelan. After all, the two girls didn’t have much money, and Li Yucheng had already collected a lot of wool from his uncle’s house.

“Xiaoer, serve up your most delicious dishes, and two pots of good tea.” Li Yucheng shouted.

Several people sat down in the private room, Zhao Yelan sat by the window, looked at the sunny weather, and wondered if it was still raining in Huaizhou Zhizhou.

“This tea is pretty good, I want to take some to the capital.” Yin Pinglu took a sip or two, “My lord, would you like to try it too?”

Zhao Yelan casually took a couple of sips. Although it wasn’t as good as the tea he had tasted, it was still a bit sweeter than ordinary tea. He nodded and asked Xiao Er to prepare some tea and prepare to take it away.

“It’s a pity that a rough person like me can’t tell the difference between good and bad.” Zuo Ran drank the tea in one go, and then spit out the tea dregs, “The last time I went to the general’s house, Butler Tan told me to make tea The tea is good tea, and I don’t know much about it when I drink it.”

Zhao Yelan raised his eyes and looked at her calmly.

“Hey, that’s not your fault.” Li Yucheng waved his hand, “The tea in his house is not expensive at all, it’s just picked from ordinary tea trees. If someone says it’s delicious, it must be because of his face. It’s just a cliché.”

Zhao Yelan looked at him coolly: “Have you drank too?”

“Drink it, I drank it when my father and I went to the general’s mansion.” Li Yucheng said.

Yin Pinglu smiled gently: “The general’s tea is not precious in variety, but in the affection. The tea tree was planted by the old lady herself. It’s hard for him to stay at the border all the time, and write letters from time to time to remind Butler Tan to take good care of him.”

Zhao Yelan finally couldn’t control his expression, and asked a little stiffly: “Haven’t you never been to the capital? Why have you ever drank his tea?”

“My lord doesn’t know. Although the general is at the border, he asks Butler Tan to send the roasted tea to the border every year. I was lucky enough to taste it once.” Yin Ping said greenly.

Zhao Yelan nodded slowly.

“So that’s how it is. I think he’s very affectionate and righteous.” Li Yucheng sighed, and then looked at Zhao Yelan with a smile, “It’s just hard for you, with such a picky mouth, you actually want to drink tea from his family every day. ”

The other two also laughed.

Zhao Yelan was silent, unable to tell them at all, so he took a sip and never drank again.

“Hey, the general is here.” Zuo Ran pointed out the window.

Several people turned their heads to look outside. It happened that Yan Mingting raised his head, stood where he was and nodded to them. He was just about to enter the door, but bumped into a girl accidentally.

“Are you okay?” Yan Mingting asked.

The people upstairs could see clearly that it was the girl who bumped into it.

“It seems that this kid Yan Mingting has made love.” Li Yucheng gloated, “It’s not surprising, Yan Mingting is taller than most men in this city, not to mention handsome and handsome, with an air of nobility. Which girl is not moved by seeing it?”

After finishing speaking, he took a special look at Zhao Yelan, wanting to see if he was angry, but the other party was shaking his fan calmly, with slightly curved eyes, looking at the scene outside with a smile in his eyes, as if he was not at all angry. care.

…wrong! Li Yucheng’s eyes fell on Zhao Yelan’s hand. Although he was shaking the fan calmly, the joints in his hand were clearly defined and the veins were bulging, as if he wanted to crush the fan bones.

Sure enough, no one can completely ignore this kind of thing, even Zhao Yelan can’t avoid it.

The girl downstairs blushed and said, “I’m fine, thank you sir, may I ask you what your name is and where you live?”

“Are you really okay?” Yan Mingting reconfirmed.

“I’m fine.”

“If you are fine, how could you bump into someone?” Yan Mingting pointed to the roads on both sides, “The road is so wide, you can still bump into people, do you have eye problems or dizziness? Do you need to ask a doctor to take a look? What exactly is the cause?”

The girl’s face became even redder, and she hesitated for a long time, then suddenly stomped her feet in discouragement, turned and ran away.

Yan Mingting walked into the private room, these people still couldn’t stop laughing. Especially Li Yucheng, who laughed so hard that he almost fell off his chair.

“What are you laughing at?” Yan Mingting asked without knowing why.

The few people were stunned for a while, and Zhao Yelan said, “He really doesn’t seem to know what we are laughing at.”

“Help, that’s even more ridiculous!” Li Yucheng laughed and collapsed on the chair.

Zhao Yelan laughed softly, half of his face was covered by the fan, only a pair of star-like eyes were exposed, which looked really pretty when they were bent.

Yan Mingting was stunned, staring into his eyes, his emotions were infected, and he also laughed after a while.

After eating, Yan Mingting learned the reason from Li Yucheng, and couldn’t help being surprised.

He really just subconsciously thought that the girl had an eye disease or a head disease, and that’s why he bumped into him. After all, he couldn’t be confident enough that anyone would like him, and his thoughts were all on Zhao Yelan, so he had no time at all. Pay attention to others.

But how should I put it, hearing Zhao Yelan’s angry and jealous look, he still felt a surge of joy in his heart. But it was only a moment of secret joy before turning to worry.

Jealousy is sometimes a good thing, but sometimes it’s not. For example, at this time, he stood outside the door of the inn and knocked on the door for a long time: “I have something to discuss with you, let me go in and talk…”

When someone passed by, he immediately put on a serious face, and waited until the person disappeared from sight before knocking on the door again: “Please…”

After a while, Zhao Yelan opened the door: “What’s the matter?”

Yan Mingting was stunned, seeing that he had changed into brand new clothes, a thin emerald green shirt with fluttering skirts, which made his aura look dusty and not stained by dust, he couldn’t help but shine in his eyes: “It’s so beautiful.”

Zhao Yelan gave him a proud look, turned sideways and walked outside.

“Where are you going?” Yan Mingting followed.

“Walk around casually.” Zhao Yelan walked to the market, it was rare to wander around casually, so he wanted to look around.

Even tonight Yan Mingting has been following him like a sudden convulsion. Whenever a woman passes by and takes a second look at Yan Mingting, Yan Mingting will raise her hand vigilantly to block her from approaching: “I’m sorry, I’m married .”

“I have a wife.”

“Don’t look at me, I’m a family man.”

The women who passed by one after another looked at him, as if they were looking at a handsome but weak-minded idiot.

Zhao Yelan supported his forehead, opened his fan, and covered his face, not wanting to walk with him.

“General Yan! It’s really you!” An old woman walked over happily, her eyes shining brightly.

“Sorry, I really got married.” Yan Mingting stopped her.

Zhao Yelan: “…”

“Of course I know that you are married, and you are married with Mr. Zhao.” The old woman smiled.

“You know us?” Yan Mingting asked.

“Well, I’m from Huaizhou. I was sent here by your team to join my relatives. Now I’m staying at my brother’s house. I’ll go back after a while.” The old woman smiled kindly, and enthusiastically handed over the basket, ” This is a tomato planted by my brother and sister, it is very sweet, you two adults should take it and taste it.”

Yan Mingting couldn’t refuse, so he took out two with a smile: “Thank you, we just had dinner, these two are enough.”

“I’m the one to thank you. Our family’s survival depends entirely on you. I heard that many people died in droughts in previous years. This time it’s all thanks to you who discovered it early and saved a lot of damage in time. ”

After returning to the inn, Yan Mingting washed the bright red tomatoes and handed him one: “Try it?”

Zhao Yelan lowered his head, took a bite of his hand, and nodded, “It’s pretty sweet.”

Yan Mingting was stunned, staring at his face for a moment. After a while, Zhao Yelan lowered his head and took another bite. His thick eyelashes slapped, and his porcelain-like skin was in front of his eyes. Yan Mingting heard his His heart beat faster, and he shook his hand undetectably.

The tomato tastes sweet and has a lot of juice. When Zhao Yelan raised his head, a lot of juice was on the corner of his mouth, and it flowed down to his chin.

Yan Mingting also had some stains on his hands, but he didn’t have time to take care of it, but watched him stick out his wet and tender tongue, licked the corner of his mouth, and then took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe other places.

“Aren’t you going to try it?” Zhao Yelan asked.

Yan Mingting stuffed the remaining half of the tomato into his mouth in one breath, stretched out his hand in front of him, and motioned for him to wipe it.

“The handkerchief is already dirty.” Zhao Yelan said.

Yan Mingting thought to himself what a pity, the next moment, Zhao Yelan took his hand, lowered his head and put the finger that was stained with juice into his mouth, and looked at him with his eyelids raised.

Yan Mingting suddenly seemed to have ignited the fuse, as if on fire, his face was redder than a tomato, the blush spread to his neck, his whole body was scorching hot, the whole body was like a ripe red tomato.

“Is it alright?” Zhao Yelan let go of his hand.

“Yes, yes!” Yan Mingting nodded straight, wishing to come a few more times, preferably every day!

He ate so fast that he didn’t even realize that there was a little juice at the corner of his mouth. Zhao Yelan took a few glances, leaned over and licked the corner of his mouth again. Just as he was about to retreat, the other party hooked his neck, pried open his lips irresistibly, and tasted the sweet tomato juice again.

It wasn’t until the sound of footsteps outside that the two parted with unfinished business.

“Let me tell you, Fu Qian is Yi Dongshi!” Li Yucheng walked in happily, sat down on the opposite side, and said, “Guess what he did today?”

The two didn’t answer his words at all, so he continued on his own: “He bought a lot of things today, all of which you bought! Whichever clothes you bought, he immediately went to buy them secretly, and also There are sachets, tea leaves, calligraphy and paintings, all of which have been spared. I think he just wants to learn from you, and Dong Shi imitated it!”

After he finished speaking excitedly, he found that the two did not respond, and asked, “Why don’t you talk?”

“Have you finished?” Zhao Yelan asked, “Get out when you’re done, don’t disturb our business.”

“It’s so late, what business are you going to do?” Li Yucheng asked subconsciously.

Zhao Yelan turned his head to the side, kissed Yan Mingting’s lips, and then looked at him seriously: “This is a serious matter.”

Li Yucheng was caught off guard and fell off the stool in fright: “Hi, excuse me, goodbye!” After speaking, he ran out in a **** manner, turned back in a flash, and closed the door, “Leave me alone, please continue.”
