Chapter 749: Met an acquaintance.
So, everyone in the group held a piece of mutton pancake in their hands and ate it.
The sesame cake is very crispy. When you take a bite, the fat and lean mutton inside sizzles with oil. It is so delicious that it makes you cry.
There is not a trace of fishy smell, the meat is soft, tasty and especially fresh.
The soup splashed in Jiang Fubao's mouth. He ate and inhaled at the same time. It was very hot.
She was walking at the front with a candied haws in her left hand and a sesame cake in her right hand. Because she was eating, she didn't even wear her veil. All the men, women, old and young who passed by looked at her.
"Mom, that big sister is so beautiful. Can you help me marry a woman like her in the future?"
"You little brat, how old are you and you're already thinking about a wife? You don't read much on weekdays, I'll beat you to death."
"Look at this girl, how can she be so beautiful? I'm really envious. I wonder which family she is from? I've never seen her before."
"She is truly stunningly beautiful, like a fairy in a storybook. She is so beautiful that she even looks so pretty when eating mutton patties. We are like wild boars gnawing on them. Oh, comparing ourselves to others makes us angry."
Jiang Fubao pretended not to hear the discussions. When someone praised her, she smiled at the girls, making their faces blush. They never expected that Jiang Fubao would respond to them.
Not long after he left, a man holding a folding fan stood in front of Jiang Fubao. He waved the fan and said with a smile, "Miss, please stay. I am very polite. I am sorry to bother you. I really think you look familiar. Could I ask your name to see if I know you? I hope you don't mind."
Jiang Fubao took a step back silently.
The two constables, Pan Shitou, and the servants immediately came over and surrounded the man. Pan Erya also stood in front of Jiang Fubao.
Separate her.
The man was stunned.
A fierce look flashed across his eyes, but it quickly disappeared and he smiled more kindly.
"Don't get me wrong, the girl really looks like my neighbor's sister, but I haven't seen her for many years, so I just rashly stepped forward to ask." He explained.
"Aba Aba?" Jiang Fubao knew that this was just an excuse, just to strike up a conversation.
She didn't know what to do, and was afraid of offending the person in front of her. After all, in the imperial city, there were officials here and there, and she, a mere commoner, couldn't afford to offend them, so she pretended to be dumb.
He stared with innocent big eyes and kept calling "Aba Aba".
The man's expression suddenly changed.
"Um, I'm sorry for the offense. Bye." What's the use of being good-looking? You're just a mute.
What a pity.
Jiang Fubao held back her laughter and continued eating her mutton pie.
This scene was seen by Shen Hechi who was standing on the second floor of Guanshan Teahouse diagonally opposite.
His lips and hands began to tremble.
"Master, Master! What's wrong with you?" The servant who served him was terrified, thinking he had epilepsy.
"It's nothing. I'll go downstairs for a while. Don't follow me." Shen Hechi took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down his excited mood. He left the balcony and quickly walked down the stairs.
After leaving the teahouse, he walked towards Jiang Fubao, his steps becoming faster and faster, even jogging.
"Aba Aba?" Jiang Fubao once again used his mute trick and successfully drove away the third man who tried to chat him up.
Before she could start eating, another person stood in front of her, blocking her way. Jiang Fubao was speechless. So she couldn't finish the mutton pie in her hand, right?
I wanted to continue, but when I looked up and saw who was coming, I froze where I was.
"Fubao! You actually came to the imperial city?" Shen Hechi's voice was trembling with excitement.
The person he had been thinking about day and night just appeared like that?
Is this really not a dream?
"Um, Mr. Shen, what a coincidence, you are here too." Jiang Fubao smiled foolishly and almost cried again.
"Fubao, why didn't you tell me you were coming here so that I could pick you up. I wrote you a letter and you know the address." When Shen Hechi heard Jiang Fubao's voice, he was sure that the girl in front of him was his Fubao.
His ears turned red because he was so excited.
"I didn't just come to the imperial city, I've traveled to most of the Tianling Kingdom." Jiang Fubao said truthfully.
"It's not convenient to chat on the street. I've booked a private room in the teahouse. Let's sit there and chat." Shen Hechi invited.
"Okay." It was rare for Jiang Fubao to meet an acquaintance after such a long time, so she was very happy. She did not refuse and let others go and have fun. She took Pan Erya and Shen Hechi to the teahouse.
Xue Huan wanted to follow, but Jiang Fubao knew that she was a playful person and had just arrived in the imperial city and was very curious, so he did not take her with him.
Sitting in the teahouse, Shen Hechi was very attentive, pouring tea and ordering food.
"These cakes are unique to the Imperial City, and this one is the most delicious."
Shen Hechi brought the sour cheese dumplings to Jiang Fubao and asked her to eat them.
Jiang Fubao was not polite either.
I picked up one with chopsticks. It was sour and sweet, with some fruity aroma. It was very unique and delicious.
"It's really good."
"I ordered a lot, you can try one too, in case you can't eat too much." Shen Hechi's raised mouth corners have not lowered since he saw Jiang Fubao.
The servant guarding outside reacted immediately.
No wonder the young master acted like that just now, it turned out he saw his sweetheart.
"Fubao, have you just arrived?" Shen Hechi asked.
"I just arrived today." Jiang Fubao said while chewing some pastries.
"Then I'll take you around the imperial city tomorrow? I know where the fun places are and which restaurants have good food. I'll be the host. How about that?" Shen Hechi asked eagerly.
"Okay." Jiang Fubao didn't want to agree at first, but she was not familiar with the imperial city. Besides, there were many dignitaries here and she didn't know anyone. If she bumped into a noble, she would be finished. It would be better for her to play with Shen Hechi, at least her safety could be guaranteed.
"However, I will only play for two days at most before I start working on the clinic's affairs." She did not forget to add.
"Okay, if you need any help, just tell me. I'm familiar with this place." Shen Hechi stood up to refill her tea. Pan Erya, who was standing by, couldn't help and was instead very idle.
But she didn't go out.
What was it like for a single man and a single woman to be alone together? Even if Mr. Shen's servant winked at her, she pretended not to see.
Her young lady doesn't like this Mr. Shen.
"Fubao, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll take you to the Hejia Restaurant. Their dishes are very authentic, with the authentic taste of the Imperial City. But I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to it. I remember that you don't like salty dishes. If you don't want to eat, there are also restaurants with Jiangnan flavors. You can choose whatever you want. Since you came to the Imperial City, it's only natural that I treat you. Don't be polite to me."
Shen Hechi saw Jiang Fubao eating non-stop and guessed that her stomach was still empty.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have grabbed a mutton pie and ate it on the street just now.
"No need. The candied haws, mutton pie and these pastries have already filled my stomach. No need to treat me. If you really want to, you can do it tomorrow. I'll go out for a walk and then come back to the inn. I won't be able to sleep at night if I eat too much." Jiang Fubao refused.
