Don’t Show the Son

   Chapter 57

   "I want this!"

   "I want this too!"

   "All of these..."

  ……

  Wangdu, in front of a small mobile stall selling jewelry on the street, the beautiful woman in a plain skirt pointed to the jewelry hanging on the wooden frame and opened her mouth again and again.

  Lin Xiu looked speechless, the mobile stall on the side of the street, the target customers are ordinary women in the homes of the people, who can buy an ornament for more than a dozen pens and dozens of pennies.

  The imperial concubine may not know that any piece of jewelry she wears on her head, and a pearl on it, can buy the entire stall.

  But seeing that she was happy to buy, Lin Xiu didn't talk too much. Anyway, he didn't need to spend any money, so that this poor woman could satisfy her shopping desire.

  Zhu Jin stood behind the imperial concubine, and happily took out the silver and bought all the things she fancy.

  Don't talk about the stalls on the side of the road, as long as the lady is happy, how about buying the jewelry shops on this whole street?

  The imperial concubines who have never shopped before are very curious. She will look at this one for a while, and she will look at that one for a while. I am afraid she has forgotten that they are out of the palace for spiritual pets.

  Lin Xiu held the little guy in his arms, wondering if it was not in good spirits during this period, but he had fallen asleep.

   When the pet is asleep, the wings on the back will be folded, just like an ordinary kitten, but much more beautiful than ordinary cats.

  After a while, Zhu Jin looked at the time and said to the imperial concubine empress: "Madam, it’s time for lunch. I heard that the food at Zieyuelou tastes good. Would you like to go there for dinner?"

  The imperial concubine was on the rise. After Zhu Jin reminded her, she felt a little hungry. She nodded and said, "You can arrange it."

  At this time, Lin Xiu suddenly took a step forward and suggested: "Madam, I heard that there is a small shop nearby. The pastries and Jiangnan dishes are good. Madam, would you like to try it?"

When    heard Jiangnan cuisine, the noble concubine's eyes lit up and said: "Go to the Jiangnan shop you mentioned."

  Zhu Jinwei said: "Madam, the person in the shop, the origin is unknown, I am afraid..."

  The imperial concubine waved her hand and said, “If there is anything to be afraid of, if others don’t know my identity, you just treat us as ordinary guests.”

  After Zhu Jin heard this, he couldn't say anything more.

  The Jiangnan shop is not located in the most prosperous part of the capital, but it is more difficult to find. It took Lin Xiu a lot of work to find out about this shop.

  Although the small shop is not as famous as Jiyuelou Tianxianglou, it still has a good reputation among some diners.

  The decoration of the shop is very simple, and the space is not large. It is clean and concise, and the shop only serves Jiangnan dishes. After the imperial concubine ordered a few dishes, the four people sat on the four sides of a table.

  Eating with the concubine empress, Zhu Jin and Linglong are obviously a little bit cautious, but they only dared to sit halfway down, while Lin Xiu has to relax a bit, call the shopkeeper, and say: "Take all of your special dishes here."

  A generous customer came, and the boss happily ran to the back kitchen and was busy. This is actually a small mom-and-pop shop and can’t ask for help. All things are done by the boss and the proprietress.

Lin Xiu explained to the imperial concubine, "Madam, this shop is a husband and wife. They were originally from the south of the Yangtze River. They opened the shop in the capital a few years ago, saying that it was so that the people in the south of the Yangtze River could also eat outside. The taste of hometown."

  The imperial concubine glanced at Lin Xiu and asked, "How do you know that I am from Jiangnan?"

  Lin Xiu smiled slightly, and said, “I hear my wife speak in the ordinary days, and occasionally have a Jiangnan accent, so I guessed that my wife should have grown up in Jiangnan.”

  The imperial concubine was surprised: "You grew up in Kyoto, and you can hear the Jiangnan accent?"

   Lin Xiu said: "I have a friend who is also from Jiangnan, so I can hear Jiangnan dialect."

  The imperial concubine nodded, and did not ask any more.

  The boss and the lady boss moved very quickly, and soon they brought a few dishes to the table.

   Regarding these Jiangnan dishes, the imperial concubine's empress dears her every family: "This is salt water duck, this is crystal delicacy hoof, this is horseshoe cake, this is candied fruit..."

She took a bite of the dish with chopsticks and opened her red lips. After putting it in her mouth, her face was filled with satisfaction, and she sighed: "Gong...Although there is a chef from Jiangnan in the house, when they deliver the dishes, It's already cold, and I don't have any taste when I eat it. I haven't tasted this kind of hometown taste for a long time."

  The emperor and concubines seem to be beautiful, but in fact, they can't even eat a bite of hot dishes every day. Lin Xiu not only doesn't envy them, but feels that they are a bit pitiful.

  About half an hour later, the four talented people walked out of this Jiangnan Xiaoguan.

  The imperial concubine touched the slightly raised belly under the palace skirt. She hasn't eaten so full for a long time, or in other words, she hasn't experienced the feeling of fullness since she was a child.

No matter when she was young or after she entered the palace, she had time to eat. The etiquette of her family and palace also told her that she can only eat at most five points full. She also knows now that she feels so happy when she is full. .

After glancing at Lin Xiu, the imperial concubine asked again: "Where shall we go next?"

  Lin Xiu smiled and said: "Mrs. Hui, I just ate, and shouldn’t exercise too much. Let’s go to the theater to listen to music and have a cup of tea. Music can cultivate our sentiments, and it is also good for spiritual pets..."

  The imperial concubine nodded and said, "Just do what you said."

  Not long, Lihuayuan.

  As soon as the class leader saw Lin Xiu coming in, he greeted him with a smile, and said, "Oh, Lord Lin, you are here again. Caiyi will be just idle, and I will take you there..."

  Lin Xiu gave a light cough, and said, “I took my friend today, and changed to a larger room. Where is Caiyi, I have something to look for with her...”

  On the second floor of Lihuayuan, somewhere in the room, the class leader knocked on the door, then pushed in and said to the figure who was tuning in the room: "Cai Yi, Young Master Lin is coming to see you."

   Caiyi stood up, bowed to Lin Xiuying, smiled and said, "Master, you are here."

  Lin Xiu stepped forward and said, "Girl in Caiyi, I brought a few friends over today, one of whom is very distinguished. I have to explain some things to you in advance..."

  ……

  When Lin Xiu returned to Yajian, the imperial concubine gave him a glance and asked, "Do you come here often?"

  Lin Xiu nodded, and said, “Ms. Hui, I’m tired of practicing on weekdays, or I’m upset, I’ll come here to listen to the music, relax...”

  The imperial concubine glanced at him and said, "You know how to enjoy it."

  While speaking, Caiyi has already walked in.

  She did not wear theatrical makeup today. She wore a white long dress with blue silk on her head and a pipa in her arms, giving her the image of a soft and weak Jiangnan woman.

When   the sound of the pipa sounded, what came out of her cherry lips was also a fragile Jiangnan soft language.

  Zhu Jin and Linglong don’t understand Jiangnan dialect, they just think the girl’s voice is nice, but they also listen to it with relish. Linglong even listens while shaking her head.

  Only the concubine empress, after hearing Caiyi’s voice, her eyes froze in one place and her focus was lost.

  The voice of this actor has a magical power. When the familiar Jiangnan minor was introduced to her ears, time seemed to go back more than ten years ago, returning to the Jiangnan, the Jiangnan she had not seen for more than ten years.

  That’s where she grew up, Yangliu Yiyi, hazy misty rain, endless lotus pond, cruise ship like weaving lake...

  The wind from the south of the Yangtze River will not blow to Kyoto after all. There is snow she likes here, but it is not her hometown.

  The soft, numb, soft voice gradually dispelled the sadness that she had hidden in her heart these days, and also let her gloomy mood shine into a ray of sunshine.

  She looked at Lin Xiu and whispered, "You are interested."

  Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "Ah, what did the madam say, I didn't hear it clearly."

However, the imperial concubine did not speak any more, but closed her eyes and hummed the same tune as Caiyi, with a moving smile on her face, gradually rippling away.

  Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, a smile also appeared on her face.

  It was his plan to take the concubine empress out of the palace, but it was not just for that plan.

  He understands women.

   Therefore, when she saw the imperial concubine in the Changchun Palace, Lin Xiu knew that she had something on her mind.

  Her thoughts are the same as this spirit beast. They are all prison birds in the deep palace. Lin Xiu saw this when she was in the hospital last time.

   Lin Xiu was a little afraid of her when she first met the concubine empress.

After all, the palace eunuchs in the harem all know that the imperial concubine is moody and often punishes the palace people. Later, Linglong told him that the imperial concubine is not so terrible. The palace **** of the Changchun Palace does something wrong, and the empress will punish, but it is light and light. Curse, angered the master in other palaces, but there will be life concerns at every turn.

  The treatment of court ladies of Changchun Palace is also one of the best in the harem.

The empress is happy on weekdays, she will reward a lot of things, she is also very short-term, she will never allow other palaces to bully them, when there are palace maids at their age, they will give them a generous dowry, send them out of the palace to marry them, I don't know how much better than the women in other palaces.

  Working in the Changchun Palace, as long as you don’t provoke your empress when she is in a bad mood, or take good care of her beloved pet, nothing will happen.

   Originally these things had nothing to do with Lin Xiu, the concubine lady was in a bad mood, and it was not her turn to coax her.

  Who let him take advantage of her this time? It can be regarded as owing her a love. Lin Xiu doesn't like to owe favors, so she has to find a way to make her happy, which is regarded as repaying her kindness.

  While making women happy, he is professional.
