Chapter 281

After a few words of idle talk, Daya and the waiter sent their salute and hot water. Song Xintong washed his head and took a bath, then arranged his clothes outside. After they finished their bath, he went downstairs to the lobby to have dinner.

It's dark outside, and the shops along the street are covered with red lanterns with their respective names written on them, so that passers-by can have a look at them.

"Sister, it's full of lanterns outside. It's bright." Dabao pointed to the wine shop outside the inn. "They hung a lot of lanterns, a lot of colors, and a lot of people were drinking."

"Sister, it's so nice here. It feels as lively as the day." Xiaobao also looks up at a small face, staring at the people who come and go outside.

"This is Lingnan city. It's naturally lively. It's even more lively in the daytime." Song Xintong added rice and many dishes to them“ If you eat more, you will be hungry in the afternoon

"Two bowls." Xiaobao is not picky about food any more. As long as he put it in his bowl, he would eat it all. He ate it clean, and didn't even have a piece of rice left.

I think it's hot. Song Xintong's appetite is not very good. He just took a few mouthfuls and put down his chopsticks.

"Don't you think the food is not good for you? I'll go to the shopkeeper's kitchen to lend you what you want to eat." Lu Yunkai looked at Song Xintong and said anxiously.

What's the point of borrowing someone's kitchen? What's more, it's still cooking. Isn't it smashing someone's sign? Song Xintong shook his head, "just don't feel like eating, go back to have a rest, tomorrow should be good."

Daya said, "is the girl suffering from heatstroke? Would you like a doctor to come and see? "

Song Xintong waved his hand, "don't ask for a doctor, I also think it may be a little sultry suddenly, so I don't have a good appetite. If I could have a bowl of mung bean soup, it would be better to relieve heat and thirst than to drink medicine."

"The girl sat down for a while, and the maid went to the kitchen to see if she could have some mung beans to cook." Daya said and ran back to the kitchen.

After a while, the waiter came out with bowls of iced mung bean soup in the well water, and the shopkeeper's wife also brought out a plate of washed grapes.

Song Xintong is drinking the cool mung bean soup, the bottom of his heart is very comfortable. "Thank you, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper's wife stood by and said with a smile: "it was very hot when you came to the city in the afternoon. It must be hot. When you came, we were too busy to send you mung bean soup."

"But if you are pregnant, you should drink less cold things, or it will be bad for your health." The shopkeeper's wife said, "you can add a little hot water, or put it down and drink it when it's not so cold."

"You said so." Song Xintong knows that mung bean is actually cool. She drinks it once or twice every now and then when she is pregnant, but she can't drink it every day. Otherwise, it's bad for you.

"Take your time. If you need anything, just let us know. You're welcome." The shopkeeper's wife still remembers the way Lu Yunkai looked when he lived in their inn. She was confident and had a special eye everywhere she went.

Only later

Ah, if not, maybe I would have been admitted to Ju Ren this year. It's a pity.

After the shopkeeper's wife and they left, song Xintong twisted a grape and ate it. "It's very sweet, and I don't know if it's sold now. After you've finished your meal, let's go out and have a look. Is it feasible?"

Lu Yunkai said, "good."

When they finished their meal, song Xintong said to the waiter and went out to visit Lingnan city at night. Of course, it was only limited to some shops near Yunlai inn.

Because there are academies in the south of the city, the things sold in the direction close to the academies are more artistic, such as bookstores selling books, and those specializing in pen, ink, paper, inkstone, flower and bird antiques. Of course, these shops are closed at night.

The streets far away from the academy are mostly inns, restaurants, rouge powder shops.

After they came out, song Xintong did not go to the direction of the academy or the main street. Instead, they went to another street and went to a lake in the south of the city. Lu Yunkai said that there were many vendors selling food by the lake at night, and many people went to visit the lake.

In a word, apart from the busy main street, the most lively place is the lake. If the students are in the city during the opening time of the Academy, they will sing poems in the teahouses, restaurants and other places near the lake. Therefore, the lake is also an elegant place.

Song Xintong looked at Lu Yunkai with a smile, "so understanding, have you been many times?"

"A few times." Lu Yunkai also did not deny, "but later did not go."

"Why not?" Song Xintong asked.

"They like to go to qinlouchuguan, but I don't want to go," Lu said

Song Xintong asked, "not once?"

"I was taken once by them, but then I didn't go." Lu Yunkai was very honest and frank, "don't be angry. I came out within a cup of tea."

Song Xintong chuckled and said, "I'm not angry." When she got married, she knew when her family scholar turned spring / palace / picture. He must have no experience.

"There are wonton, bean curd and fried chestnuts. What would you like to eat?" Lu Yunkai escorts song Xintong to the lake. Looking at the food stalls on the roadside full of all kinds of food, he asks song Xintong's opinion: "do you want to eat some spicy fish tofu?"

"No, it's all made of Cornus sauce. It's not as delicious as our chili sauce." Song Xintong walked to the stone fence beside the lake and stood, facing the cool lake wind. He watched a lot of boats passing by. The lights on the boat were bright and reflected in the sparkling water, which made the whole lake blush.

"Those boats are just not boats?" Song Xintong remembers that the owner of the boat in the storybook keeps a singer. She plays the piano, sings and dances on it. It's a tool for rich people to kill time.

"Yes."

"It's pretty good." Song Xintong sighed and asked in a low voice, leaning his head: "how much silver is it to sit once? I want to experience it, too. "

"It's estimated that there will be more than 50 Liang for a boat." Lu Yunkai didn't pack it, but he did. It's not cheap to listen to the tone of those people.

"It's so expensive. If we had a boat, we would be rich all our lives if we rented it out." Song Xintong said in a low voice, surprised that he said this too rustic, and quickly looked around, fortunately, the people nearby did not notice her, "fortunately no one heard."

Lu Yunkai was amused by her appearance. "They won't care if they hear it."

"Really?"

"They want a boat more than we do."

Song Xintong chuckled and was about to speak when the twins squeezed in through the back door, holding a paper bag in both hands: "elder sister, elder sister, we bought this delicious one, elder sister, have a taste."

"What did you buy?"

"I don't know if it's delicious to stir fry chestnut. Have a taste, sister." The twins didn't eat chestnut, and there was no chestnut tree in Taohua village, so they didn't know each other.

Song Xintong took out two and ate one. The fragrance was very strong and a little sweet. The taste was pretty good. Twins also learn song Xintong's appearance, dial two, eat quite enjoy.

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious."

"Eat less, or you will feel sick at night."
