Chapter 50 Bright and Undercurrent

In the evening, Pang Erniang really came as promised, and Shen Shaoguang really took her to a quiet seat in the corner. On the wall shelf above the table, there are garlic seedlings raised in white porcelain pots. Because Shen Shaoguang was inattentive, he didn't eat it when it was the most tender, and it would get old after a few days. , wait for it to die. Although it can't be eaten, it looks lush and beautiful.

Next to the garlic sprouts, there is a cowhide doll bought from the West Market. They used cinnabar to dab their lips and two balls of rouge, showing a silly joy.

Pang Erniang sat down at the seat under the garlic sprout and the silly baby, and Shen Shaoguang asked her what she wanted to eat. Pang Erniang didn't really expect to get any delicious food from Shen Shaoguang's small restaurant. Have you ever been to a kitchen in the Guogong Mansion?

But since it was said that she was here for dinner, she naturally had to deal with it seriously, so Pang Erniang asked her to pick up some delicious food.

The end is rich and powerful! Shen Shaoguang served five or six kinds of expensive dishes such as squirrel fish, as well as soup, main food and snacks, and a full meal case.

Seeing the bright squirrel fish on the porcelain plate, the red and plump agate meat, the green jade balls, and the white and tender monkey-brain tofu, Pang Erniang could not consciously speak up. The appearance alone... It's rare in the market, no wonder There were so many people attending at noon, no wonder Master Yuanjue liked it so much.

Pang Erniang first took a pair of chopsticks squirrel fish, um, sweet and sour, delicious, really delicious!

Pang Erniang couldn't help but grab two more chopsticks.

The maid next to her was a little surprised. Erniang has always been picky about her diet. When did she return to chopsticks like this?

Then Pang Erniang ate another piece of agate meat and four or five small jade rounds; the monkey brain tofu was fresh and tender, without the slightest bit of beany, and Pang Erniang also ate a small bowl; this jade tip The noodles actually have the character of a royal banquet in the palace. They are exquisite, beautiful in appearance, and the stuffing is fragrant. ate three of them unconsciously; the green dumplings on the other plate are green on the outside and red on the inside. The bean paste is not very sweet, but it is soft and glutinous. It is also suitable for eating in spring, so Pang Erniang sandwiched another one...

In the eyes of the maids who were surprised and even worried, Pang Erniang lived up to the expectations - she was exhausted.

Shen Shaoguang came to greet her after being busy for a while, and looked at the leftovers on the table and Pang Erniang, who was a bit lazy but had a happy expression after eating a full meal. Oh, her fighting ability is good. looked at her like that before, and it was only a smoker. Drink the wind.

The dishes in his store were popular, and Shen Shaoguang was also happy. He personally went to soak a bowl of hawthorn and licorice drink and brought it to her to help her digestion, so as not to eat so much food at night.

The weather was bad, the rain was a little heavier at night, and there were not many customers in the store, especially after the punctuality, and gradually there was only Pang Erniang's table.

Shen Shaoguang was finally able to relax, brought a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus honey water, and sat with Pang Erniang.

The rain hit the peach oil window paper, rustling. The candle shook slightly, and across the table, Shen Shaoguang and Pang Erniang chatted along their mouths.

What can we talk about? But let’s talk about the fashions in Beijing. What kind of peony flower bun is still a little crooked to look good, what kind of gold foil flower tin in spring and summer is too tacky, it’s better to put green feathers on it, what’s popular recently and come back to Yuanshan Mei…

"Look at my eyebrows," Pang Erniang leaned forward, "it's been changed."

Shen Shaoguang nodded deeply, "It is indeed much prettier than the original Lian Juanmei. I am afraid that Lian Juanmei was specially prepared for the son of the go-getter Mo Xie, and we ordinary people can't draw it."

Pang Erniang didn't know the allusion to the "Mei Jian ruler", but she also felt that Lian Juanmei was not good-looking, but why is it popular in the palace, Shishizhuang, Shishizhuang, if you don't paint it, it won't look old-fashioned?

Shen Shaoguang felt that this child was poisoned by fashion. Fashion and beauty were two completely different things! In order to save Pang Erniang's makeup, Shen Shaoguang sold her a famous quote from Gabrielle Coco Chanel a thousand years later, "A lady surnamed Xiang once said, 'Trends are fleeting, styles are forever', you smack smack, don't you think? This makes sense."

The charm of famous quotes is that they can span time and space, and no matter what era, they can shock people. Pang Erniang frowned, and the more she touched it, the more she felt that what she said made sense, and she thought that the person who said this did not know which aristocratic family in this dynasty was named Xiang, but because her family was only a newcomer, Pang Erniang did not study it seriously. , did not dare to ask, for fear of showing timidity in front of Shen Shaoguang.

Pang Erniang found out later that this little lady Shen knew a lot about fashion in Beijing. How did she know about the daily firewood, rice, oil and salt in this market?

Shen Shaoguang smiled lightly, "Although trends are fleeting, beauty is eternal."

Shen Shaoguang dipped in the wine and drew a face on the table, and explained to Pang Erniang what three courts and five eyes mean, "Generally speaking, the closer to this standard, the better-looking. We put on makeup to make up for the deficiencies and make the facial features look better. closer to that standard."

Pang Erniang was almost opened to a new world. She opened her mouth slightly in surprise to look at Shen Shaoguang, and then looked at the wine painting on the table. After thinking about it, she nodded sharply.

Shen Shaoguang saw that her children could be taught, so he said more and more, "The red bean and red lips that were popular in the past two years, just a little bit, put it on the big face of the silver basin, is it really beautiful? There is a forehead," said This popular fashion, Shen Shaoguang wanted to complain, "I shaved the hair on the forehead, so that the forehead is as wide as Suzaku Street, why? Do you want to take a carriage? If you can't practice, do you want to develop another piece?"

Pang Erniang laughed "puchi", among so many fashions, the only thing she didn't follow was this "opening". It doesn't look good, but it does trend, and lasts longer than when the various brow shapes were trending.

The two were chatting, and it was almost time to get up before Pang Erniang left. Pang Erniang only remembered before she left, she was so happy to say that she forgot about this stubble before she waited for Lin Shaoyin today...

Shen Shaoguang greeted with a smile: "Second mother will see you tomorrow."

Going back and throwing the money left by Pang Erniang's maid on the cabinet into the small money basket, Shen Shaoguang squinted and smiled, there must be a tael of money for lecture fees, knowledge is wealth...

Pang Erniang had been messing around with Shen Shaoguang every day, for seven or eight days, her face became rounder and she waited for Lin Shaoyin.

Lin Yan worked overtime late again, and came back after breaking the night ban. When he saw Shen Ji's light, he got out of the car and let the attendants go back first and walked in slowly.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Mrs. Shen's laughter, "This makeup looks like a fuss, and it needs to be detailed. If the eyebrows and eyes are good on the face, the eyebrows and eyes should be highlighted. If the mouth is pretty, then focus on the red lips. If the face is full of thick ink and color, and you want to stand out everywhere, it becomes a palette for painting..."

The way of the article is detailed... Lin Yan turned around the small screen, and saw the little lady Shen and Pang Erniang in the corner.

Facing Erniang Pang's eyes that suddenly lit up, Lin Yan lowered his eyes, nodded slightly to her, and walked towards the seat of the opposite corner.

Shen Shaoguang turned his head, Erniang's hard work paid off, she spent twenty taels of silver, and finally came to this one.

Erniang Pang lightly touched the peach-blossom hairpin on her temples, stretched her clothes, raised her eyebrows to look at Shen Shaoguang, and asked her if her clothes and makeup were appropriate.

Shen Shaoguang nodded affirmatively. Today's Pang Erniang is indeed very beautiful, with pretty peach blossom makeup, a flowery blouse, and the charming and naive look of a girly girl. It is much more beautiful than the splendid appearance when first met last year. Erniang is still very smart when it comes to makeup.

"Lin Lang——" Pang Erniang stepped forward to Yifu.

Shen Shaoguang avoided going to the kitchen, and held A Yuan, who was going to bring tea out, to avoid embarrassment.

"Lin Lang came to dinner so late, things are really busy in the yamen." The girl's voice with a smile.

"It's just a matter of political affairs." A faint male voice.

"Is Lin Lang busy with the Shangsi Festival in the future? Will Lin Lang go to Qujiang? I heard that this year's Shanghai Festival New Scholars will ask Qujiang to explore flowers, is it true?"

"Yes." But he didn't know which of the three consecutive questions the "Yes" answered.

"I heard that Lin Lang was also a Tanhua Lang. Is it true?" The hope and cowardice in his voice made Shen Shaoguang's heart move.

However, such a serious Lin Shaoyin still has such a romantic experience? But on second thought, yes, it's not surprising that this man was chosen as the Tanhua Lang due to his appearance and demeanor. At this time, Tanhualang was not the special title of the third jinshi, but picked up a temporary elegant position held by the youngest and most beautiful among the new jinshi, specializing in visiting famous gardens and picking flowers.

"It's getting late at night, the girl should go back as soon as possible." The voice became more and more cold.

"Son, I want to ask—"

"Go back, girl." Erniang Pang's words were stopped seriously.

Pang Erniang didn't understand anything, her big eyes filled with fog, she bit her lip, stomped her feet and turned away.

After hearing the door slam, Shen Shaoguang asked A Yuan to bring out the tea.

When Pang Erniang first spoke, Yu San felt that Lin Shaoyin was inauthentic and was a provocateur. Later, when he heard him reject it, he felt that he was hard-hearted and did not know how to pity Xiangxiyu. Yu San frowned and glanced at Shen Shaoguang, what kind of vision do you have? Just know how to look at the face!

Shen Shaoguang took out the menu and asked Lin Yan with a smile, "What would you like to eat today, Lin Langjun?"

Listening to Shen Shaoguang's high-sounding "Lin Langjun", compared to the "Lin Lang" of the Pang family girl just now, Lin Yan pursed his lips, "The little lady can arrange it at will."

"Okay, Lord Lang wait!" Shen Shaoguang took the menu and said with a smile.

Hearing this "Lang Jun" with his surname removed, just like calling a random diners, Lin Yan's mouth pursed deeper and deeper.

Shen Shaoguang returned to the kitchen and asked Yu San to scramble eggs with tender chives and scallions for Lin Yan, stir-fry bacon with scallions, stir-fry spring sunflower, steam tofu, chop coriander and mix it with minced meat to make a light dish. Water dumplings. Two people do it together, it's very fast, and it's done in a while, plus the pretzel, and let Ayuan send it out on a tray.

After a while, Shen Shaoguang came out to say hello, guessing that he had almost eaten, "What else do you need to add to Lin Langjun?"

Lin Yan paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "Very good, the vegetables are very tender, and the Yuanzi is also very fragrant, thank you."

"..." Oh, Aunt Mary's apple pie!See what I hear?This Lin Shaoyin actually praised the delicious food!What was the stimulus for this gentleman?

"Lin Langjun, don't be polite." Shen Shaoguang smirked.

Lin Yan glanced at her, lowered his head and picked up the tea cup.

The author has something to say: Lin Shaoyin: My grandmother said that should praise more, but it seems that it does not work much... Or is it too little?
