Chapter 198 Visiting Lin'an Street
Lin'an Street.
There are teahouses, restaurants, fortune-telling stalls, and the sounds of bustling crowds, hawkers shouting, and bargaining... It is extremely lively.
Su Yuan stopped in front of a stall selling fans and scanned the various fan leaves.
Finally, he picked up a daffodil gauze fan and handed it to the man in the snow-covered clothes, saying in a leisurely tone:
"I've seen most of the gentlemen on the street holding fans. How about this diamond-shaped fan I picked for you?"
Meng Yunlan was slightly startled, and his handsome face glowed with a faint warmth like jade.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, he reached out to take the fan, raised it to his eyes and looked at it carefully, then said softly:
"The daffodils have a fresh and elegant fragrance, Yunlan likes them very much."
When Su Yuan heard her husband say that he liked it, she took out a piece of silver from her waist pouch and handed it to the vendor, "No need to change."
The vendor nodded with a smile, "Okay, sir, please take care."
After paying the money, Su Yuan held Meng Yunlan's hand, turned his head to look at the man's profile and said:
"I didn't ask Bai Cui and the others to follow us today, so remember to hold my hand at all times to avoid getting separated."
Meng Yunlan nodded, "Okay."
After saying this, he became a little worried:
"My dear wife, today is not a day off. You are not on duty but are going to the market with me. Isn't that a bad idea?"
Su Yuan shook her head and walked with her husband among the vendors selling all kinds of jewelry and food, explaining:
"Your Majesty took pity on me for my hard work and gave me a few days off. It would be strange if I stayed at home all day."
As for what she had to do, it was all at night.
I'm exhausted from the day and night surveillance these days. I caught up on some sleep last night and would like to go shopping and relax today.
Meng Yunlan understood.
Three days ago, my wife told them that she would not be home for several days. She must be going to do errands for His Majesty! Thinking of Nan Chu and Ji Qiubai who disappeared early in the morning.
Meng Yunlan pursed her lips. They all had the wrong idea.
"Yun Lan, Yun Lan..."
Su Yuan waved a coral hairpin in front of her husband, raised her eyebrows, and asked in a drawling tone:
"What are you thinking about——"
"I want to ask you if this hairpin looks good?"
Hearing the voice, Meng Yunlan blinked a few times, and his wandering thoughts were instantly brought back to his senses.
With great joy in his eyes, he lowered his head slightly and said softly:
"My dear wife, please help me put it in and try it."
Seeing Meng Yunlan’s active cooperation, Su Yuan’s smile deepened.
She gently held her husband's cheek and with her other hand inserted a coral hairpin into the man's hair.
Then he stepped back a few steps to look at the person.
The man was wearing a snow-white coat with a light gauze over it, his black hair was tied up with just a white ribbon, and now there was a bright red coral hairpin, which was like the finishing touch, making the whole person look lively all of a sudden.
Especially at this moment, he was standing among a crowd of people passing by, as if a vivid character had been added to the gloomy ink painting, and everyone became his background.
The snow-white dress and red hairpin are as clear and smooth as jade.
These eight words immediately appeared in Su Yuan's mind.
She stretched out her palm towards the man, her thin lips slightly parted with a hint of tenderness that was barely noticeable, and said half-jokingly:
"Come here, my immortal husband."
opposite.
Meng Yunlan's heart began to beat wildly at Su Yuan's teasing words.
He glanced at the woman shyly, walked over with red ears, put his hand into Su Yuan's palm, and urged in a low voice:
"My dear wife, let's pay the money and leave. I feel like there are a lot of people watching us here."
Su Yuan looked around and indeed found that many women were staring at their husbands with obsessed eyes.
She said "hmm" lightly, quickly threw a silver ingot to the stall owner, put her arm half around Meng Yunlan's slender waist and strode away from the spot.
Walked about a hundred meters away.
Su Yuan looked up at the sun that was about to rise to the center of the sky, patted her husband's waist with her palm, raised her eyebrows and smiled:
"Lunch is coming up soon. Have you decided where to eat?"
Meng Yunlan heard this and thought for a while:
"Well..., Nanchu and his friends at Ruyizhai order takeout every now and then. The food at other restaurants is not as good as the one at home."
"How about...how about we go to Suyun Hotpot Restaurant? The last time we ate here was at the beginning of the year. I miss it after not eating here for a few months."
Su Yuan nodded and agreed:
"Okay, let's go to the hot pot restaurant. Maybe we can see Yun Qiao later. As for daddy, I won't call him dad."
"He complained to me last time. Not only did he smell the hot pot every day, but Yun Qiao also always prepared meals for him. He had to eat hot pot every meal for a while. Now he is scared of hot pot."
Meng Yunlan chuckled, "Yes, Daddy also told me to tell my sister not to be so enthusiastic, saying that he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to."
"Okay, let's go."
"Um."
…
Suyun Hotpot Restaurant.
As soon as Su Yuan and Meng Yunlan arrived at the door, a strong spicy aroma hit their noses, and the two greedy people couldn't help swallowing.
She took her husband's hand and walked slowly up the stairs, checking the store as she walked inside:
Business is good today. The lobby is almost full, with only one empty table in the corner.
See here.
Su Yuan turned his head to look at Meng Yunlan, raised his eyebrows and suggested:
"Why don't we have our meal in the lobby? Eating hotpot requires an atmosphere. Today, there are only two of us here, so it will be more lively if we have our meal in the lobby."
Meng Yunlan's mouth curled up slightly, and he whispered:
"Okay, I can go anywhere as long as my wife is with me."
The two were talking.
A waitress came over, bending over. She smiled with a hint of respect and pointed upstairs. She said:
"Master, you are here, Erlangjun. Would you like to have lunch in the private room on the third floor?"
Su Yuan raised his chin slightly and smiled faintly:
"No, we'll just dine in the lobby. Oh... by the way, come over and I'll order the food before you leave."
"yes."
After Su Yuan gave instructions to the waiter.
I sat down at the round table with Meng Yunlan and read out a series of dishes without even looking at the menu:
"I want a shuangyang hotpot for the base, and as for the dishes, I want beef, duck blood, shrimp balls, tripe, lotus root slices... and a pot of sour plum soup and golden osmanthus. That's all."
After that, she turned her head and asked Meng Yunlan:
"Is there anything you'd like to add?"
Meng Yunlan shook his head, "No, my wife ordered all the food I like."
Su Yuan said "OK", waved to the waiter beside him, and said slowly:
"Go down and get ready!"
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Probably because Su Yuan is the head of the family.
Soon after the tea and sour plum soup were served, the pot base and all the ingredients were also brought up.
After a moment.
Su Yuan looked at the bubbling red spicy soup base, first put the vegetables for Meng Yunlan in the clear soup, and then put his own favorite dishes in the other side.
After preparing two servings of dipping sauce, the food in the pot was almost cooked. She handed one of them to Meng Yunlan:
"Here, this is the clear soup dipping sauce I made for you. It has sesame oil in it."
