Chapter 31 Huang Boyang
"Wow! Sister-in-law, these are big red dates!"
Yun Sheng is the type of person who can’t move when he sees something delicious.
Xu Qingmeng looked at her with amusement, then looked at her belly.
"Your belly is almost bulging out, and you're still thinking about eating?"
The little ones ate a lot. They shared the sweet potato cakes, which were only four pieces. The rest went into the stomachs of the two little ones. Yun Sheng ate what she liked and was very unrestrained. If Xu Qingmeng hadn't stopped her, she would probably have secretly eaten a lot of meat.
Yun Sheng looked at Xu Qingmeng, then touched his stomach regretfully. His eyes were big but his stomach was small. He really couldn’t eat any more. What a pity!
Xu Qingmeng couldn't help laughing when she saw Yun Sheng's expression. She gathered all the things together and put the red dates and peach gum in the cabinet in the main room. The other things that were needed on a daily basis were placed directly in the kitchen.
He came over and saw it, and said directly, "Eating more red dates is good for women's health. Take them to the house and chew a few when you have nothing to do."
Xu Qingmeng said, "It's okay, mother. It's fine to put it here. You can just pick it up and eat it when you have nothing to do."
As Xu Qingmeng spoke, he stuffed a date into his mouth. The date was extremely sweet. They were dried at home and tasted great. They were all natural.
Xu Qingmeng liked it very much and put one next to He's mouth. He took it and ate it with a smile.
“These dates are really sweet.”
The popularity of the case is not expected to fade in the short term. When the shop opens in the afternoon to sell braised food, it is crowded with people again.
Xu Qingmeng had already added a lot more than previously estimated, but who could have thought that in the end, he still wouldn't be able to sell it.
Even though he was so busy, Xu Qingmeng still noticed someone.
He was dressed in an extremely noble manner, with a jade crown on his head, a purple robe and a folding fan. He had the temperament of a nobleman, but Xu Qingmeng felt that it was a bit pretentious for him to hold such a fan at this temperature.
Although this young man did not speak, the difference in his behavior had already attracted everyone's attention.
Xu Qingmeng frowned slightly, wondering why a nobleman like this would appear here.
Although Xu Qingmeng was confused, he did not stop his hands. He skillfully weighed, chopped, and packed the food while dealing with the endless stream of customers.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
The man's gaze fell on Xu Qingmeng and he looked at her a few more times, but without any recklessness, only surprise and inquiry.
"Young Master?" Xu Qingmeng raised her voice.
Even though this man looked extraordinary, he still caused dissatisfaction among the people queuing behind him.
"Are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't block the road!"
"That's right, you're wearing really nice clothes, why do you take so long to buy something?"
"Is it your first time here? You're so overwhelmed that you don't know what to eat?"
"You're dressed so nicely, are you broke?"
Huang Boyang coughed twice in embarrassment, and looked over the pots of neatly arranged stewed food.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "A little bit of everything."
Xu Qingmeng paused, but didn't say anything. He picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting on the sticky board.
Huang Boyang looked at Xu Qingmeng again and said casually,
"I heard that there was a case in your shop, and you were selling braised food yesterday? Why didn't I see you today?"
"My husband is studying in the inner courtyard, and he is not too busy today."
In fact, today is busier than yesterday, but if Gu Yunyi comes to help, although it can relieve them a little, there will be many neighbors who will joke with Gu Yunyi, and the end result is that the time will be longer.
"Husband, are you his wife?"
"Well, sir, do you know my husband?"
"Um, I don't know him, I don't know him, I'm sorry for being rude." Huang Boyang said.
Xu Qingmeng didn't care too much.
Huang Boyang wanted to say something when he saw Xu Qingmeng had already neatly packed up the braised food he had bought.
After she packed the things, she handed them over, "Chenghui, the total is three hundred and sixty coins."
Before Huang Boyang could speak, the people around him had already answered for him, "It's so expensive!"
"Rich man, I want to buy more and eat as much as I want!"
The people around looked at Chen Jun with envy and jealousy. Huang Boyang, who had paid, quickly squeezed aside.
Huang Boyang looked at the busy people around him and had to give up and leave.
Coming out from West Street, walking all the way east, we finally walked into a large house with four courtyards.
"My lord, you are back! The master and the mistress are waiting for you to have dinner."
Huang Boyang nodded and handed the oil paper to the housekeeper.
"Tell the kitchen to heat these up and serve them up again."
He wanted to try it to see how delicious it was. Even though so many people thought it was very expensive, they were still willing to line up to buy it.
Huang Boyang walked into the dining room, where County Magistrate Huang and Mrs. Huang were already sitting at the table.
"Have you seen Mr. Gu?" asked County Magistrate Huang.
"I haven't seen him. He just said he was studying in the back house. I wouldn't be too abrupt."
"It's just like what Mr. Shen said, he is a studious person."
Huang Boyang was a little unconvinced. "Oh, while my mother and wife are busy outside, he can stay in the backyard with peace of mind. I think he is either a bookworm or a loser who clings to his family. Did Mr. Shen make a mistake? I don't know why Sister Yunyi likes him?"
The Huang family and Gu Yunyi's teacher Mr. Shen are old friends. Huang Boyang has treated Shen Yunyi as his own sister since childhood. He went there today because he heard that this Mr. Gu won the first place in this case. He wanted to see what this Mr. Gu, who was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Shen, often praised by him, and whom Shen Yunyi never forgot, was like.
Who would have thought that today, without even meeting him, I unexpectedly learned that he was already married. Naturally, I felt a little resentful.
Mrs. Huang listened to her son's words and gently put down the chopsticks in her hand. Her eyes were gentle but a little stern. "Boyang, don't talk nonsense. Elder Shen has always had a sharp eye. Since Master Gu was accepted as a disciple by Elder Shen, he must have his own strengths. Besides, it is Yunyi's own business that she likes him. The two of them are not engaged. What's wrong with Master Gu getting married? What nonsense are you talking about?"
The Huang family and the Shen family are old friends, and Mrs. Huang only gave birth to Huang Boyang. Shen Yunyi has been very cute since she was a child and likes to stick to Huang Boyang. Huang Boyang has treated her as his own sister since she was a child, and he learned that she likes Gu Yunyi very much.
In addition, although Huang Boyang did not like to study, he was extremely talented. Before Gu Yunyi appeared, he was the one that Shen Lao often praised. He also spent a lot of energy on this scientific expedition.
Who would have thought that I failed to win the first prize, and instead a country boy took it. It would be strange if I felt good about it.
