MTL - Chang’an Small Restaurant-Chapter 14 A matchmaker comes to your door

As you can see, the Qixi Festival is approaching, and Shen Shaoguang, who was used to the festival economy in his previous life, naturally prepared in advance.

The wooden molds for Qixi flower cake made by the carving master have arrived. Shen Shaoguang and A Yuan carefully polished these molds for burrs, oiled them, cleaned, dried, and then oiled, cleaned, and dried. After doing this a few times, the white-thorned poplar mold has some color, but it is impossible to make it appear a beautiful and moist brown-red for a while.

A-Yuan is still a child, and loves a set of wooden molds. "Little fish, cranes, turtles, tigers, if you want to make them, you can't bear to eat them."

Shen Shaoguang told the truth, "It's just a good thing. The stuffing is still the red bean paste, mung bean paste and jujube paste you usually eat."

Since following Shen Shaoguang, Ah Yuan has eaten a lot of all kinds of rice cakes. From the beginning, she wanted to swallow them all in one bite, and now it is normal.

"If it looks good, it's delicious." Ah Yuan laughed.

Shen Shaoguang also laughed, is this little girl almost right? Indeed, when it comes to eating, "color" still ranks ahead of "scent" and "taste".

It is also for this reason that Shen Shaoguang went to the West Market to find a carver to make these sets of molds, a set of seal characters of Fu Lu Shou Xi, plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum peony rose flower plant A set of cranes, turtles, fish, tigers, and animals, as well as a set of characters such as Rahula, Weaver Girl, Cowherd, and Moon Palace Fairy.

Shen Shaoguang painted the sculptures himself.

Although Ye Ting has hard daily work and poor material conditions, its cultural software is good. There are internal teachers who specialize in teaching palace people. .

In the beginning, the doctors of the internal teaching were held by scholars, and many of them were erudite - those who were able to get in front of the emperor, how could they have some real talents?

In the year when the first emperor died, these inner-teaching doctors in Ye Ting were changed to eunuchs and palace maids. Shen Shaoguang sullenly wondered if Gong E and the inner-teaching doctors had some kind of teacher-student relationship, but Afterwards, no sound was heard.

Among the teachers who were changed later, there was a palace maid in her forties, with gray hair on the temples, very quiet temperament, reluctance to speak, excellent cursive writing, excellent seal script, Shen Shaoguang devoted herself to following She practiced calligraphy for several years. This teacher is also very good at playing the guqin, but unfortunately Shen Shaoguang has no spirituality in music. Shen Shaoguang guessed that this teacher did not know what his background was, and he might have been a family member of a criminal who did not enter the court.

Shen Shaoguang has the foundation of the original body and the memory of the past life. He used to be valued by several doctors. Unfortunately, this talented female reserve became more and more vulgar. house…

Thinking of the expressions of the doctors looking at "Zhong Yong", Shen Shaoguang smiled, playing Gongdou Bo Future with his talent and appearance? That is the origin of the battle, and few people have ever returned it. In fact, speaking of it, it is rather cowardly.

Shen Shaoguang's Qixi Festival has not yet passed, but he has ushered in a matchmaker first. It wasn't anyone else, it was Lu Sanniang, who sold the head.

Mrs. Lu is very interesting, she is a little jealous of Shen Shaoguang's money, but Shen Shaoguang is her big customer, so she doesn't dare to offend Shen Shaoguang clearly, but she can't help stabbing her from time to time She said two words. However, Shen Shaoguang is not a gourd with a saw mouth, but a fine three-stringed string. The articulation trained in the palace must be articulate and melodious. Every time Lu Sanniang provokes a defeat, she will stab at it again and again. He was pushed back by Shen Shaoguang, and so on.

Shen Shaoguang once enjoyed bickering with Lu Sanniang, but it was actually quite a happy thing to be a little jealous, because it represented the affirmation of his own success, and of course also because he was so evil Interesting - just like the way you don't like me and can't get rid of me.

This time, Sanniang Lu came to "repay grievance with virtue".

Being the lady of the house. Aren't you a neat little lady? It's a match made in heaven." Mrs. Lu smiled and pushed Shen Shaoguang a little, waiting to see her shy.

Shen Shaoguang nodded, "This marriage sounds really good."

Although she did not see any shy expression as expected, Madam Lu felt relieved when she heard her agree with what she said—it is rare to see her so honest.

"It's just that it's a little scary how such a good marriage can fall on the head of an orphaned girl without a parent or mother."

Miss Lu leaned over her body and leaned against Shen Shaoguang's ear, and Shen Shaoguang let her lean on her.

"I heard that you came to our workshop to find someone that day and ate your jade tip noodles, so I was thinking about it. This man knows my family man, so he asked me to ask. did you mean."

"For the sake of a few jade-pointed noodles, I decided to marry the cook home. Later, I met a man who sold steamed cakes, a man who cooked houto, and a man who roasted mutton..." Taking a bunch of cooks' wives and concubines, Shen Shaoguang I was amused by my own idea.

Miss Lu knew that Shen Shaoguang was not easy to fool, so she told her the truth, "He is older than you, about forty-five, but Langjun is older, and he knows it hurts people."

"The former lady has been gone for half a year, and I have seen a few ladies, either this is not good, or that is not good, I didn't expect to be waiting for you. You don’t have to work **** the streets to make a living.”

As she talked, Mrs. Lu really felt that this marriage was a good thing. Although the Yang family's house is a bit remote, it is true that there is a shop in the West City, and there are indeed a few servants and maids in the family. Yang Qilang is really capable, much older than the bride, and she looks so pretty. , only those who love her are the ones who fall into the honeypot? It's not like myself, the wind and the sun have been smothered by oil smoke and fried my head.

Seeing that Shen Shaoguang didn't speak, Mrs. Lu threw out the "leftover girl theory": "You are old and you don't have parents to respect, you have to plan for yourself, don't miss it because of shyness In the future, no matter how old you are, you can only fill in the house for those in the 60s and 70s."

Shen Shaoguang, who was just nineteen years old, took a sip and nodded. Mrs. Lu was really eloquent, giving people the feeling of living a life in a few words. Suddenly I remembered the "year of peach and plum" that Lin Shaoyin said when he left the palace, so, in the eyes of you Tang people, is nineteen years old or not?

Shen Shaoguang, an older and leftover girl, was attacked for a while, and refilled some sour plum soup in Mrs. Lu's cup with a good temper, and said with a smile: "I am old, and my temper is hard and weird. The girls are fifteen or sixteen, right? Why not talk about this Yang Langjun? You know the bottom line, only better."

"How does that happen—" Mrs. Lu subconsciously retorted. I felt offended that my daughter was associated with a forty-something business widower. My family's Ayu is very old and beautiful, and she is going to marry a young man who is studying and studying. If the man passes the exam, Ayu will be a jinshi lady!

But Mrs. Lu immediately reacted, this was just Shen Shaoguang's teasing, and she was even more angry, feeling like she was being kicked by a donkey while feeding grass with good intentions.

Thinking of "the young man who reads and becomes an official", Mrs. Lu's tense face showed a sarcastic smile, "Isn't the little lady thinking about those decent men who come to buy your pancakes every day? I advise the little lady to rest her mind. Which of them is not married to a lady of the right household? Although you are beautiful, you can only be a concubine when you go. This is a concubine, and you have to serve the big woman every day..."

After a while, Mrs. Lu thought about several kinds of life for herself, and Shen Shaoguang felt that it was necessary to stop, "Ms. Lu doesn't think that with my ability to make money, I can be a woman on my own. A rich man? Buying a house and buying land, and being at ease?”

"..." Mrs. Lu didn't think that Shen Shaoguang really thought so, she just thought it was an excuse, but thinking of her new shop and Yujian noodles, she couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

"I have been interested in a different business in Zhongnan Mountain for a long time." Shen Shaoguang looked serious.

Mrs. Lu returned with shaking hands as usual.
