Chapter 376

Li Chengru got off the chariot and asked Shu GUI's concubine to raise her head.

Shu Guibin slightly looked up at Li Chengru. Under the lantern light, Li Chengru saw her face clearly.

Snow white skin, a little lip grease on the lips, shining with crystal light, the face is very small. At first glance, it looks a little like... Leaves?

Li Chengru said, "flat."

"Thank you, Emperor!" Shu Guibin stood up and waited for the emperor to go in.

In her impression, Li Chengru is the first to come back to Shu Guiren. The furnishings in Shu Guibin's house are different from those in other palaces. She is very simple here. Apart from tables and chairs, she has a piano and some paintings.

In the middle of the room are some plates of exquisite snacks and a pot of freshly brewed fruit tea.

Seeing those snacks, Li Chengru couldn't help thinking of Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian is very good at cooking. He was always greedy for what she did when he was on the run. No matter what he ate after the run, he couldn't eat what he felt at that time.

Seeing Li Chengru staring at the plates of snacks, Shu GUI's wife said, "emperor, this heart is made by the maidservant himself. Would you like to try it?"

"What did you do?" Asked Li Chengru.

Shu Guibin respectfully said, "there is a cook in my maidservant's house. My father found him from the south. He is good at making snacks. My maidservant usually follows him when she has nothing to do, so she learns something."

Li Chengru glanced at Shu GUI's concubines. He only felt that although Shu GUI's concubines had been carefully dressed, they were somewhat indifferent. Unlike other concubines, as soon as he went, they tried their best to be courteous. They wanted to rush over yesterday.

Shu Guibin always stood quietly to see what Li Chengru needed, and then she took the opportunity to respond.

Li Chengru had just arrived and was not in a hurry to sleep, so he pinched a cake that looked very beautiful and tasted it in his mouth.

I only think there is a smell of milk and coconut. The cakes are sweet but not greasy. The sweetness is just good.

"What is this?" Asked Li Chengru.

Shu Guibin said, "coconut cake, with a little horseshoe and osmanthus."

There are also snacks made of this kind of food in the palace, but the shape is different from that of Shu Guibin. Shu Guibin will cut the snacks into a flower shape, which looks more exquisite.

Li Chengru also wanted to taste the nearby pot of fruit tea. Seeing this, Shu GUI's concubine hurriedly said, "emperor, your servant will pour tea for you."

Shu Guibin came over, first asked Li Chengru to sit down, then picked up a delicate small bowl, gently lifted the pot, poured tea into the cup, and then picked two kumquats and half a lemon from the teapot.

Then he handed the small bowl to Li Chengru: "emperor, this kumquat and lemon are to help digestion."

Li Chengru picked up the small bowl and took a sip. He only felt that the fruit tea was sweet and sour. It was not greasy at all. It was very delicious.

He now eats delicacies in the palace every day. After eating for a long time, he just feels tired. Even the ordinary dessert drink is bird's nest red dates. It is rare to drink these fruit teas. He feels very tired.

"Would the emperor like another bowl? I'll pour it for you?" Asked Shu Guibin.

Li Chengru said, "another bowl of fruit tea."

"Yes!" Shu Guibin continued to Li Chengru.

At this time, Li Chengru saw the piano in the room and asked Shu Guibin, "can you play the piano?"

Shu GUI's concubine said, "I can only play a few songs. They are not fine. They are used to spend my spare time."

Li Chengru knew that the harem was really boring, especially when there were no children, so all the women in the harem tried their best to have children.

"Play a song for me." Li Chengru still doesn't want to do those things. He also wants to pass the time.

Shu Guibin sat in front of the piano and thought for a while. Then she played a softer song.

Li Chengru drank fruit tea and listened to the music. Somehow, he gradually relaxed.

The song also has a function: in addition to soothing the mood, it can also make people's thoughts float to a long time ago. When he listened to the song, he thought of the green grass, snow mountains and cattle and sheep eating grass on the grass of Tianshan tribe.

And the woman playing the piano in front of her, the more she looks, the more she looks like the one who once lived in her heart.

Although he didn't know, when did she live in his heart?

After listening for a while, Li Chengru only felt sleepy, so he asked Shu Guibin to stop.

"It's getting late. Have a rest." Li Chengru and Taoism.

Shu Guibin hurriedly came to serve Li Chengru.

He took off his outer coat, leaving only his inner clothes. Li Chengru first lay in bed, and Shu Guibin also lay up later.

It may be that Li Chengru has just listened to the music. Now he is relaxed and sleepy. Shu Guibin didn't know how to see it. She asked, "emperor, why don't you knead it for you?"

"Can you still this?" Asked Li Chengru.

Among the women who recently entered the palace, there were many who could massage, but Li Chengru didn't give them a chance to play. He thought that it was just a way to please him.

But in the face of Shu GUI's concubines, Li Chengru agreed by magic.

Shu Guibin sat up and massaged Li Chengru's head, temples and other positions for a while, followed by her shoulders and neck.

Li Chengru thought Shu Guibin's fingers were soft and gentle as water. He fell asleep unconsciously.

When he woke up, he found that it was already light.

Turning his head again, he saw Shu GUI's concubine sleeping beside him.

Shu Guibin is still sleeping. She sleeps quietly. Her clothes are still intact and her breathing is even.

Li Chengru somehow remembered a sentence he had heard somewhere: the old husband and wife who have been married for many years will gradually become dull, but when you wake up and find her lying next to you, sleeping as quietly as a child, that's husband and wife.

Li Chengru was surprised that he didn't do anything last night and could sleep until dawn.

It can only be said that Shu Guibin is a woman who can calm people down.

It was time for Li Chengru to go to the early court. He got up first. When he got up, Shu GUI's concubines alerted Shu GUI. Seeing Li Chengru, Shu GUI's concubines also got up quickly and knelt by the bed: "slaves and maidservants serve the emperor to change clothes."

Li Chengru gave a "um".

Shu Guibin's movements were skilled. Together with the two maids, she soon served Li Chengru.

Li Chengru spent the night here last night. He never spent the night in a concubine's bedroom, but he did nothing last night.

Looking at Shu GUI's concubine again, he felt a little guilty and said, "tonight, go to my bedroom and bring your piano."

Shu Guibin was surprised for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "yes, Emperor!"

……

The news that Li Chengru stayed at Shu GUI's concubine all night spread all over the harem.

All the women in the harem have intimate servants. Every day, they try to find out which concubine the emperor stayed in and how long he stayed.

It was the first time for the emperor to stay here all night.

However, they also heard that the emperor even called Shu GUI's concubines to his bedroom for the first time.

Immediately, all the concubines came here to learn from Shu Guibin and asked her what method she used. Shu Guibin only said what happened the night before. It was said that the emperor only stayed here for one night and didn't touch Shu Guibin. Other concubines couldn't understand it.

……

Capital.

"Tianshan noodle restaurant" has been open for more than two months.

Wang Mudan and Chen Ju are responsible for cooking noodles, Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu are responsible for running the hall, and Xiao Baocheng is responsible for accounting.

Ye Xiaoxian chose this place for them. It has a good location and many people. As long as the food is not very bad, there is no business to worry about.

The food in their noodle shop is instructed by Ye Xiaoxian. It tastes absolutely delicious. Ye Xiaoxian also comes here from time to time to see if they need help.

Although it has only been open for two months, they can earn more than 30 liang of silver a month, excluding all kinds of expenses, which they didn't dare to think of before.

In addition, ye Xiaoxian bought the house for them, so the money can be freely spent and there is no need to save money to buy the house.

Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu are very grateful to Ye Xiaoxian.

However, as ye Xiaoxian worried before, if she stays in the capital for a long time, it will be difficult to resist all kinds of colorful temptations in the capital.

One of them is Xiao Baocheng.

Xiao Baocheng is responsible for keeping accounts in the noodle shop. He has read books and knows how to calculate accounts. When he was in Tianshan tribe, he also helped Liu Yuanwai to calculate accounts, so he is responsible for collecting money and keeping accounts in front of the counter every day.

He is 18 or 9 years old this year, and he has no wife. When Xiao Baozhu got married a while ago, his family also went to have a wedding wine.

At that time, all the dignitaries in the capital came to congratulate Xiao Baozhu. In fact, they all came to compliment Xiao Baoshan.

Xiao Baocheng was out of balance at that time.

They are all Xiao's family. Xiao Baozhu married a general of such a high level. He is also the brother of Xiao Baoshan, but his parents said that in the future, if he marries his daughter-in-law, he would like to find an ordinary woman in the capital, such as a cloth shop opposite, such as the daughter of a butcher who kills pigs in the street ahead, and now he is also making plans.

Xiao Baocheng is unwilling.

So when he was drinking the wedding wine that day, he deliberately contacted several children in the capital and revealed to them that he was cousin xiaobaoshan.

Those children in the capital are all dandies. I can't believe it when I heard that Xiao Baocheng is a cousin of Xiao Baoshan.

Xiao Baocheng came from a small place, just like those vegetable sellers and some porters on the street.

They told Xiao Baocheng to take him to see the world. Don't stay in a small noodle shop all day.

But they just mentioned it casually and didn't know if it was true.

Xiao Bao has been looking forward to his achievements.

Originally, I had no hope. Unexpectedly, those dandies came to his noodle shop!

"What would you like to eat, my guest?" Xiao Tieshu greeted him.

Xiao Baocheng hurried up and blocked the iron tree behind him. Then he looked surprised: "brothers, you've finally come? It's agreed to come to my noodle shop to eat noodles. You're only here now."

When the dandies saw Xiao Baocheng, they said, "I'd like to come. I can't spare any time. Give us some delicious food in your shop."
