Chapter 56: This box of snacks
Wen Chi had nothing to do, just lay down on the chair to rest.
Although this carriage is large, only two people, Wen Chi and Ruofang, are on board, and the rest of the people who serve Wen Chi are arranged on another carriage.
Since she got on the carriage, Ruofang has been busy.
Wen Chi woke up after a long sleep, turned her head and saw Ruofang sorting out the things she brought, including small boxes that looked very delicate.
"What is this?" Wen Chi curiously picked up one of the small boxes, he opened it, and found that it was actually a pineapple cake made of Ruo Tao.
"We're going to stay in the carriage for a while, the servant is worried that the son will not be used to the food on the road, so he and Ruotao made some snacks for a while, if the son is greedy, it can also relieve the craving ." Ruo Fang said.
Wen Chi knew it, no wonder Ruofang and Ruotao were busy in the kitchen when he was making cakes in the morning, so they were fiddling with it.
The sigh, "It's delicious."
Hearing Wen Chi say this, Ruofang was also very happy: "If it's delicious, eat more."
Wen Chi ate four or five pieces of pineapple cake in a row, and his throat was a little dry, so he asked Ruofang to pour him a glass of water to drink.
Looking forward, you can also see the mighty people.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wen Chi asked, "Are we going to travel at night?"
We spent the night in the carriage."
Wen Chi and the guard said a few words before putting down the curtain.
He turned around and saw that Ruofang had already sorted everything out.
I don't know what I remembered, Ruofang's expression showed a bit of worry, she glanced at Wen Chi who was ready to lie down like nothing else, thought about it and said: "Young Master , you just left the East Palace silently, in case your Highness the Crown Prince is to blame..."
Wen Chi waved his hand indifferently: "I have already greeted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, didn't I ask Ping An to deliver the cake?"
Hearing this, Ruofang couldn't help laughing and crying: "But that cake wasn't delivered by you, sir."
Wen Chi paused and muttered, "Anyway, His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't want to see me."
No matter how slow Wen Chi is, he can still feel that the emperor and the fourth prince have looked for him many times, but every time he is blocked by Shi Ye, Shi Ye seems to not want him to participate in those political affairs .
However, this time, Shi Ye not only did not intervene, but also put the choice in his hands.
Wen Chi thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what Shi Ye was thinking.
In the end, he didn't know whether he was comforting Ruofang or himself: "It's okay, since His Royal Highness has given me the right to choose, he should be ready to let me go, I may not know. He is still glad that I fought for him."
So Ruofang was easily persuaded by Wen Chi, nodded and said, "Young Master is right."
The main road from the imperial capital to Jinzhou is in the wild mountains, it is not easy to find the inn.
The whole team walked for two days and two nights, and Wen Chi stayed in the carriage for two days and two nights, and almost never got off the carriage except for convenience.
Until the evening of the third day, the walking team suddenly stopped.
After waiting for a while, the accompanying guards came to tell Wen Chi that the people in front had found the inn.
Now they are only ten kilometers away from the city gate of Jinzhou, it is not uncommon to have an inn, but the accommodation environment of this inn is not as good as that in the capital or Jinzhou city.
When Wen Chi and Ruofang were brought into the inn by the guards, they saw a few familiar figures standing in the lobby of the inn from a distance.
The guard walked over, clasped his fists at the leader and said, "Report to King Xuan, Young Master Wen has brought it here."
Shi Jin turned his head, smiled and said, "It's hard for you, go and clean up."
The guard said yes and walked away.
Wen Chi saw a few people standing beside Shi Jin, and was too embarrassed to walk in front of Shi Jin, so he stood there and waited for their arrangement.
The Shi Jin over there waited for a long time, but did not see any movement from Wen Chi, so he took a step towards him: "Master Wen."
Wen Chi hurried up to meet him: "Yes."
Shi Jin stopped half a meter away from Wenchi, with a gentle smile on his face, a slight arc at the corners of his mouth, and a clear voice: "We expect to arrive tomorrow morning Jinzhou, I'm afraid I'll have to rest here tonight, and I'll arrange housing for you later."
"I'm fine." Wen Chi said, "It's all up to King Xuan's arrangements."
Shi Jin nodded and said, "I'm tired from running around on the road, I haven't had time to introduce other people to you, you come with me."
Wen Chi followed Shi Jin.
The few people who were talking to Shi Jin just stood still, looking in their direction eagerly, seeing Shi Jin leading Wen Chi approaching, they all cast their eyes .
Shi Jin introduced those people for Wen Chi next to each other, without exception, the young talents in the capital who were famous in the original owner's memory, this time they also responded to the emperor's call, specially from Jingcheng came to Jinzhou to help.
After that, Shi Jin introduced Wen Chi to those people: "He is Lin Yuan, the fourth brother of General Lin.
Those people see that Shi Jin attaches so much importance to Wen Chi, and they think it is sacred, but they were just a little-known pawn, and suddenly lost interest in talking with Wen Chi, and called Wen Chi. After greeting, he turned his attention away from Wen Chi.
Someone said, "Has General Lin arrived yet?"
The other person echoed: "Yeah, and the **** didn't come."
When Shi Jin heard the three words "General Lin", his entire face turned white, he swallowed hard, turned his head and said to Wen Chi: "By the way, I put General Lin is at the end of the team, and when he arrives, let's have dinner together."
Now that Wen Chi bears the name of General Lin's fourth younger brother, he still can't go too far with General Lin.
Wen Chi knew this: "I will listen to King Xuan's arrangements."
After waiting for a long time, a guard came to tell Shi Jin that the housing had been arranged.
Shi Jin and those people had something to talk about, so he asked the guard to lead Wen Chi upstairs first.
Wen Chi was surrounded by a bunch of people who were waiting for him. In addition to Ruo Fang, there were also people arranged by the emperor. The guard led Wen Chi to a room and brought Ruo Fang and others out.
After a while, Wen Chi heard a knock on the door.
He walked over to open the door, and saw Ruofang standing outside the door with a bunch of things in her arms: "Sir, the slaves have asked someone to take these quilts down from the carriage, lest you sleep uncomfortable at night. ."
Wen Chi was simply flattered, and hurriedly turned sideways to let Ruofang in.
Ruo Fang still had a package in her arms, she put the package on the table, then walked to the bed and spread the quilt swiftly.
Wen Chi, who had nothing to do, sat at the table in a daze, halfway through his mind, he caught a glimpse of the package in front of him, stretched out his hand to open it, and there were neatly placed boxes for dessert.
Ruofang, who was still cleaning up the bedding, seemed to see Wen Chi's movements in the corner of the eye and said, "Sir, this servant was worried that you were greedy at night, so she brought some snacks and put them there. , if you want to eat it, you can get it."
Wen Chi said gratefully: "Thank you, Ruofang."
Ruofang said: "Young master is too polite."
After Ruofang laid the bedding, she was leaving.
As a maid, she can't eat at the same table with Wen Chi, if only Wen Chi eats by herself, she can still wait by the side, but Wen Chi will return to the fourth prince later With General Lin for dinner, she had to avoid suspicion.
Before leaving, Ruofang did not forget to remind: "Master, the slaves and others live in the next room, the master can call us at any time."
Wen Chi said hello.
After Ruofang left, the room suddenly became quiet.
Wen Chi ate a few snacks and was bored, so he had to take out the picture book prepared in advance.
Halfway through, a guard came to knock on the door, saying that Wen Chi was going downstairs for dinner.
Wen Chi hurriedly put away the painting book, tidied up his clothes a little, and went downstairs with the guards.
But before leaving, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the boxes containing dim sum on the table. After hesitating, he picked up a few boxes.
The guard led him to the private room on the first floor of the inn. There were already three people sitting in the huge private room.
Except for Shi Jin and General Lin, the back of the other person is very familiar.
Wen Chi was puzzled and could not help but take a few more glances.
The man seemed to hear Wen Chi's approaching footsteps, tilted his head slightly, and followed General Lin's gaze.
So—
Wen Chi saw a familiar face.
"Playboy?" Wen Chi couldn't hide the surprise on his face, "Why are you here?"
Just now Wen Chi heard those people asking about the playboy, he thought it was another playboy, but he didn't expect that **** was actually Hanakozang.
Those squinted eyes reminded Wen Chi of Leng Yue on the horizon.
"It's a coincidence." Hanako said with a smile, "I just heard General Lin say Young Master Wen, and I was wondering if that person might be you."
General Lin, who faced Wen Chi, was also surprised. He looked at Wen Chi and Hana Zi Zang: "Zizang, do you know Young Master Wen?"
Hanako Zang: "We had a relationship at the peach blossom banquet."
General Lin laughed: "That's really a coincidence, I can't believe that everyone at our table has been to the peach blossom banquet, everything is destined in the dark, don't you think? King Xuan ."
Speaking, General Lin looked at Shi Jin who never spoke.
Wen Chi asked hesitantly, "Is King Xuan uncomfortable?"
"I don't know, it's really weird." General Lin scratched his head inexplicably, and said foolishly, "I think he was fine before, but as soon as I got close to him, he changed. It's like this, is the problem with me?"
"I'm fine." Shi Jin finally came to his senses, he pressed his fist to his lips, coughed reluctantly, and made a gesture of invitation to Wen Chi, "Sit down, I've been tired all day. , eat early and go upstairs to rest early."
Wen Chi originally wanted to sit between Shijin and Hanakozo, but before he could sit down, Shijin waved to him.
"The seat here is wide, sit here."
Listening to Shi Jin's words, Wen Chi had to walk over. He silently glanced at the distance between Shi Jin and General Lin, which was almost a gulf. Take a seat with General Lin.
I don't know if it was his illusion, after he sat down, Shi Jin seemed to be relieved.
General Lin, who was sloppy and big-leafed, was ignorant and carelessly called for Xiao Er to serve the dishes.
When the meal was almost finished, General Lin caught a glimpse of a few boxes that Wen Chi had put aside and asked, "That's it?"
"Oh, these are some snacks prepared by my maid before departure. I haven't found a chance to give them to you before. Although it's a little cold, it still tastes good. I specially brought them here for you to taste. taste."
Wen Chi just took three boxes, one for each person.
When it was finally given to Hanako Zang, Wen Chi realized that this box was slightly different from other boxes. Not only was it much heavier, but also the pattern on it was different. The silk is carefully wrapped in several turns.
Wen Chi was a little hesitant, but then thought that Ruofang never had a problem in this regard, and that he saw other boxes were different, so he confidently handed this box to Hanakozo.
Hanako accepted it with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wen, and I will taste it after I return to my room."
