Chapter 92 I was invited by Lord Kangxi to drink tea upstairs
If she had known how busy it was in summer, she would have asked Fourth Master to come out.
I have to say that today’s businessmen are really very good.
The snacks at this time all cost a few pennies each. Even among the gadgets Chu Yu saw, the most expensive ones did not cost more than one tael.
Chu Yu still hasn't spent all his ten taels of silver, but the person behind him can no longer hold it back.
She just randomly bought some odds and ends, including braided bracelets, carved wooden figures, interesting combs, and small flowers.
At this moment, she stopped again, and the people following her also stopped. Seeing Chu Yu looking at the exquisitely woven baskets, the Fourth Master paused and said nothing.
The basket was sold by an old woman. Seeing Chu Yu standing in front, she nervously stepped forward and made a nondescript salute. She said nervously and anxiously: "My lord, how big do you want it to be? I...
This basket is for you." She looked at Chu Yu with worry and fear. The old woman still felt a little distressed, but she could tell that he was a noble person, so she didn't dare to accept the money, and there was a girl guarding him behind him.
"Thank you, aunt. How did you sell this basket?" She smiled gently.
The old woman saw that the noble man had a nice smile and did not mean to embarrass anyone, so she took courage and said: "Noble man, the small one costs ten cents each, and the big one costs fifteen cents." After saying this, she became nervous again.
"Then I want three big ones and three small ones."
Then Chu Yu gave her the right amount of money and asked the person behind her to put the things in the basket and carry them away.
The old woman quickly handed the basket in her hand to Su Peisheng.
The fourth master's face was too cold, so she didn't dare.
The craftsmanship of this basket was really good. Chu Yu respected the craftsmen and looked after the old woman's bleak business, so he took care of it. At this time, the few people behind him, except the Fourth Master, were all carrying baskets.
Su Peisheng felt a little sad when he looked at the things in his hands, thinking that when he bought things before, he just threw away a piece of silver and left.
I have gone out with Fourth Master a lot over the years. If he asked the price like Fujin did, he would probably be able to save a house.
The two guards were expressionless and carried the basket solemnly. There were many odds and ends in the basket.
Zao'er was also carrying a small basket, which looked more normal when it was stuck on. The little girl's basket looked a little more lively.
Originally, Chu Yu and Fourth Master turned heads when they walked on the street. Such good-looking people are rare, let alone a couple.
At this time, the curious and inquiring eyes on the street became even more intense. In fact, they were indeed a little strange. There were only a few grown men carrying baskets.
At this time, the two people who were watching from the window in the teahouse also saw their group at a glance. They were really conspicuous in the crowd.
Chu Yu was in the mood for shopping, chatting non-stop with Fourth Master, and even took a candied fruit from the greased paper in his hand to eat.
When the fourth master saw her like this, he just said with a cold face that there were no rules. Chu Yu laughed, not afraid of him at all, and even gave him one. The fourth master was helpless and couldn't do anything to her.
It was Emperor Kangxi and Longkodo who were drinking tea upstairs. When he saw the young couple, Emperor Kangxi frowned tightly. Although he couldn't see clearly, the gestures of his two children could be seen.
I know the feeling is very good.
There has been no news from the Fourth Mansion, but because of this weak-minded daughter-in-law?
Longkodo was thoughtful and then frowned.
Fourth Master and Chu Yu were both shocked when they saw Li Dequan.
Then the two of them were invited upstairs to drink tea.
Chu Yu wondered in her mind that she really didn't know that Emperor Kangxi was upstairs.
The fourth master was actually a little worried. Lord Shunzhi's doting on Concubine Dong E alone was a thorn in Huang Ama's heart. Therefore, among all the empresses in the harem, Huang Ama tried his best to be equally affected by the rain and dew.
Emperor Ama doesn't like them to favor a certain woman, even if it's their direct descendant Fujin.
Just like the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the fact that the eldest sister-in-law is not favored by Concubine Hui is also related to Huang Ama's attitude.
If their situation downstairs today falls into Huang Ama's eyes, he needs to think carefully about how to act in the future.
When the fourth master saw Emperor Kangxi traveling lightly, he did not address him as he usually did. He only said, "My son has seen Ama." Chu Yu also followed closely and said, "My daughter-in-law has seen Ama."
Emperor Kangxi was dissatisfied with Chu Yu, but he didn't bother to find trouble here and just nodded.
The fourth master said hello to Longkodo next to him again, "I've met my uncle."
Chu Yu also continued: "I have met my uncle." Then he looked at Longkodo with some curiosity. The person who the Fourth Master can call his uncle should be Mr. Longkodo, right?
Longkodo, with a smile on his face, returned the favor to the two people.
Emperor Kangxi's eyes were as usual, and he couldn't tell his mood or anger and said: "Are you out for a walk to buy things?" He saw the servants all holding baskets.
The fourth master's eyes were also very calm, and he only said respectfully: "Go back to Ama, that's right", and then stopped talking.
"Have you finished the shopping? I asked you to come and drink tea with the two of us. Will it disturb you?" Emperor Kangxi looked like a father, as if he would let them continue shopping after they said they were disturbing.
"It's a son's duty to come and see Ama, so why bother?" Fourth Master shook his head.
Chu Yu lowered his head and listened, thinking to himself, are they a father and son? Yes, this way of getting along with superiors is a bit uncomfortable.
Emperor Kangxi was also a little worried. He and his fourth son really had nothing to say, so he looked at Chu Yu.
The Fourth Master's fists clenched slightly, and he was sweating for her.
What can Chu Yu do? Pretend to be quiet and say nothing, since the fourth master has already replied.
"In that case, come and have some tea with me." Emperor Kangxi pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for the two of them to sit down.
After sitting down, Chu Yu looked like a young daughter-in-law, still not daring to look up.
"Why doesn't the fourth daughter-in-law say anything?" Emperor Kangxi looked at Chu Yu.
"My daughter-in-law is thinking that she is so lucky today and will meet Ama when she goes out. My daughter-in-law just bought some snacks, does Ama want to try them?" Chu Yu smiled harmlessly.
Emperor Kangxi was surprised when he saw this smile. The juniors around him were all well-behaved, and even his favorite Wu Gege would never speak so intimately.
But Emperor Kangxi didn't want to let her go. The fourth daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law were still a good match when they stood together, but she loved the Xinjieluo family and couldn't have any more affairs. He wanted to completely put an end to this kind of love.
idea.
"In that case, bring some. The fourth daughter-in-law is a good eater." Emperor Kangxi took the tea and looked at Long Keduo.
Then Chu Yu walked to the door and ordered people to get the snacks they just bought.
"This slave has heard a little bit about it," Longkodo said.
"Oh?" Emperor Kangxi became interested and wanted to know what Longkoduo had heard.
"I was lucky enough to try it once in Jiuye's restaurant, called Guoqiao Rice Noodles. It is said to have been researched by Si Fujin. It tasted very delicious." He said, stroking his beard, feeling a little embarrassed.
At this moment, both Emperor Kangxi and Fourth Master frowned.
Chu Yu put the snacks she brought next to Emperor Kangxi and raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
What does this mean? Master Jiu took this recipe and sold it in a restaurant.
But think about it, Master Jiu is famous in history for being good at doing business, so it would be abnormal if he didn't sell a good recipe.
