Chapter 45 Sending Desserts to the Duke's Birthday Banquet
Although Lan Yunyi did not let them go to the third floor, she still invited them to the second floor. Not only was the second floor filled with ice cubes for cooling off, but she also gave them thirst-quenching mung bean smoothie.
The curls of green smoke rising from the ice cubes are refreshing and cool. As soon as you stop in this shop, you will feel that all the pores in your body have relaxed and your whole body will feel refreshed.
When have scholars who study poetry and books seen expensive ice cubes in summer? Even those ladies from well-known families and young men from famous families rarely see such a large sum of money.
Everyone was eager to hold the ice cubes and drink three large bowls of the mung bean smoothie. Although the shop was not open yet, they were enjoying the wait, let alone asking them to leave and go to other shops.
Gu Rong propped her head in front of the table, thinking about the wonderful couplet, and watched her second brother drink the eighth bowl of mung bean smoothie.
"Here's my buddy, let's have another bowl!" Gu Er wiped his mouth happily, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
"It's my grandmother's birthday in half a month. If I can serve this mung bean smoothie to my grandmother's birthday banquet, I'll have a great time. Now in full view of everyone, for the sake of the face of our Duke's palace, I don't dare to eat too much..."
"Brother, this is the ninth bowl. Are you sure it's not too much?"
The corner of Gu Rong's mouth twitched, she looked at the nine white porcelain bowls stacked together, and said with a speechless expression: "Grandma is old and can't drink ice, especially someone like you who drinks ice... Send the mung bean smoothie to grandma
Definitely not a birthday banquet!"
Gu Er's real name was Gu Ying, and he and Gu Rong were both from the Duke of Wei's palace. They, including the eldest son Gu Xuan, were both born to the Duke of Wei's wife.
During his military life, Duke Guo of Wei made great contributions to the late emperor and the emperor, and he was considered very prominent.
It's just that Gu Rong doesn't like Princess Lingshu's domineering appearance and loves to quarrel with her every day. Indeed, she also has this capital.
The two of them came just to get Lan Chongzhou's post, and the rest of the young men and ladies were no exception.
It was Lan Chongzhou who took the post and visited the family in person, begging them to come to the newly opened shop of his second sister Lan Yunyi.
Gu Rong had met Lan Chongzhou before, but in just a few months, he seemed to have changed into a completely different person. Not only did he lose his former strong and vigorous figure, his face turned pale and he looked haggard.
She was really frightened at the time.
But these are all things for later. They inherited Lan Chongzhou's favor and came here. Lan Yunyi still attracted people with her own ability. She was the one Lan Wu mentioned in his mouth before, and he beat and scolded her.
.
She really wanted to see what Lan Yunyi looked like.
"If there are any other store-building treasures, I can send them to my grandmother's birthday party, which will save me the worry of birthday gifts!" Gu Rong raised her eyebrows and looked around carefully at the furnishings on the second floor of the shop.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the clerk invited everyone present to go to the third floor to take a look.
Even though those sitting here drank a lot of mung bean smoothies, they were still hungry at some point. Even the free smoothies on the second floor were so delicious, and they didn’t know what else was waiting for them on the third floor.
As dusk fell, the Zhiwei Attic was bustling with people. The top of the shop was hung with lanterns. The bright red lanterns were hung high, blending with the sunset, as if they were lighting up the sky.
As soon as I climbed up to the third floor, the fog was rising, and I felt like I was in a heavenly palace. I really felt like the dangerous building was hundreds of feet high, and I could pick the stars with my hands.
Both the foyer and the railings and windows are all carved with fine patterns without vermilion coating, retaining the original color of the sandalwood and exuding a faint scent of sandalwood. The tables and chairs are all carved in white stone, and there are still trees in the distance.
There are small bridges made of rocks and flowing water.
At a glance, you can hear the sound of water lapping in your ears.
Everyone present was impressed by this.
"You must have seen the couplet just now. All of you here are very talented and full of knowledge. In the future, they will be the backbone of Qiguo. I think you all have something in mind. As long as you stay here and have some insights.
Anyone who puts down the calligraphy treasure will get a piece of Sushan. The one who comes out on top will get the only piece of cake in the world!"
"There are also a variety of desserts and snacks for everyone to enjoy in the private room! You can invite your close friends to come here to recite poems and write poems for dinner in the future."
Lan Yunyi wore a suit of aqua blue clothes today, with red hibiscus embroidered on it. She looked fresh and capable despite being festive. The plain color softened Lan Yunyi's little face, and her eyes
It's watery.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper behind the exquisite Zhiwei Pavilion is actually a girl in her twenties, who looks like a fairy concubine in every move and smile, and like a pearl under the shining candlelight.
Everyone present was stunned.
Gu Rong stared blankly at Lan Yunyi, and couldn't help but smile. She didn't expect that bastard Lan Wu to have such a unique sister, and he was willing to beat her!
I really want to stick with the beauty~
She rolled her round eyes, tugged on Gu Ying's sleeves, and pushed Gu Ying out: "Brother, you are both talented and beautiful, hurry up and figure out the correct pronunciation, and get that Sushan! Also!
There's that kind of cake, it sounds delicious. If we establish a good relationship with her now, you can eat enough of your grandma's birthday party!"
"Beautiful...beautiful! My brother has an idea!" Gu Rong raised her hand and looked directly at Lan Yunyi.
Lan Yunyi tilted her head and smiled slightly.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Gu Ying swallowed his saliva. He had been a playboy since he was a child, and he didn't understand poetry and books. But he really wanted to eat cakes and cakes. The mung bean smoothie just now was so delicious.
, Sushan and cakes must still be able to hold twenty in his belly!
"Well... I think the clouds are moving towards each other, towards each other, towards each other, towards each other, and the tide is long, long, long, long and long... that's it."
"It means that the clouds disperse every morning, every morning, every morning, and the tides dissipate often, often, often..."
As soon as Gu Ying finished speaking, a chuckle could be heard from below. Lan Yunyi also smiled, nodded approvingly, and spoke loudly: "Young Master Gu answered well, which makes this couplet more frank and common.
Tou, now let the young man offer two portions of the mountain to Mr. Gu and Miss Gu."
Gu Ying's face turned red after being praised by the beauty. He smiled, but was nudged by Gu Rong with her elbow. She pouted and said, "Humph, I just speak nicely. I'm not complimenting you. I just want to take advantage of you."
You just gave me Sushan to eat!"
As soon as Lan Yunyi finished speaking, Li Erniu appeared holding Sushan. There were two children beside him holding two faint candles, making the Sushan crystal clear and warm. The top of the mountain was paved with
Honey looks even more attractive.
Everyone present admired secretly, feeling as if the faint milky fragrance was going to penetrate into their nostrils and take away their souls.
The crystal clear smoothies, the mountain peaks are drenched with light yellow honey and snow-white milk, and are decorated with candlelight on both sides, just like the rising red sun, lighting up the entire snow-capped mountains in gold.
Sacred and mysterious.
"The name of Sushan is so wonderful for this scene before us!"
Amid everyone's admiring comments, Gu Rong seemed a little disappointed.
Although this Sushan looks delicious, it is still made of ice cubes after all. My grandmother is old and frail. Although she likes sweets, she would never dare to send this Sushan to her grandmother's birthday party.
Although this can please the old man, what should I do if he eats too much ice and damages his health?
Gu Rong shook her head slightly. It seemed that she had to think of another idea for this birthday gift. In the future, she would still go to other dessert shops to see if they had any unparalleled desserts.
After all, Concubine Zhen is also coming to this birthday banquet. She also likes sweets and has a very strong appetite. His Majesty also dotes on her. She has seen many novel desserts, but ordinary and vulgar things cannot be discerned by her.
It's just a pity...this delicious Sushan. This chapter has been completed!
