There are five yards built behind the inn, big and small. Li Baolu and the others live in the corner on the right, a single courtyard, very quiet.

Li Baolu was very satisfied, and Gu Jingyun was also very satisfied. He nodded slightly and said, "Let the kitchen boil some hot water for us, we need to wash up."

Xiao Er immediately bowed and smiled and said, "Guest officer, don't worry, the hot water in the kitchen is always prepared, and I'll bring it for you right now."

"Okay, you guys move your luggage to your own room. Everyone wash up first, and we'll go out to eat delicious food later."

Zhao Ning raised his hand and said, "Master, can I apply for a meal at the inn?"

Gu Jingyun also said: "I'm tired too, I don't want to move around."

"Then ask Xiao Er to bring the food to the yard. We will use it here. It is quiet and convenient."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that Li Baolu would continue to conquer the gourmet world.

Li Baolu agreed to eat in the yard, but it was more out of safety considerations. There are too many people in the world outside, and they will avoid it if they can.

When Xiao Er led the men to bring the hot water, Li Baolu ordered lunch, and took out five taels of silver to prepay the room fee and pre-meal, and after all the servants had quit, she took out a handful of copper coins to reward him, and asked with a smile : "The business of your inn is really good. When I entered the door, I found that the lobby was almost full. I was afraid that you didn't have enough rooms, or there were too many noisy guests, so I chose to cover the yard, but Walking along the way, I found that our family seemed to be living in the back yard.”

Xiao Er immediately bowed and smiled and said, "Ma'am is right to be worried. There are indeed not many rooms left in the upper rooms of our inn. I think the young masters look like scholars, so I suggest Madam to rent a yard."

Li Baolu gave him another handful of copper coins, and asked with a smile, "How do you say that?"

Xiao Er pushed the copper plate back, and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, there are only two inns in Kaifeng mansion who can build such a good courtyard, and our inn is one of them. But the courtyard is not anyone They are all willing to rent. Most of the merchants in the past think it is expensive. Most of them only need one room, and the rest of the staff and guards live in the Datong shop. It only costs four to five hundred cash for one night. I hope that groups of people will choose guest rooms, but living in the courtyard at the back is much less convenient. Therefore, those who are willing to live in these courtyards are mostly officials, scholars and noble gentry, and people pay attention to a quiet place."

"I see that the guest officials carry wicker boxes with them. They are obviously scholars. Don't scholars like to be quiet? And most of the people living in the inn are from the rivers and lakes. I am afraid that their rough voices will disturb the guest officials, so I suggest Madam Covering the yard."

"Why are there so many Jianghu people in your Kaifeng Mansion?" Li Baolu frowned and asked, "Is it because of the local custom that everyone respects martial arts?"

"That's not true," Xiaoer said with a smile: "It's just this time, Mr. Zheng of Zhengjiabao in Kaifeng Mansion is going to celebrate his fiftieth birthday, and he invites heroes from all walks of life to come to the banquet. Kaifeng Mansion is only lively Is it?"

"...It turns out it's a birthday celebration." With so much movement around a birthday celebration, Li Baolu instinctively felt that Master Zheng's birthday banquet would not go well, as it was always shown on TV.

"That's right, heroes from all walks of life from the north and the south gather in Kaifeng Mansion. Not only our inn, but other inns are also full of Jiang Hu people."

Li Baolu handed him the copper plate on the table, and said with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, brother. It seems that you should be more careful when you go out on the street. I saw that they all carry swords, so don't conflict with them."

Xiao Er said indifferently: "Although the Jianghu people have a violent temper, they are not unreasonable, not to mention there are Zheng Jiabao and the government office here, the magistrate issued an order before that the Jianghu people are not allowed to fight in the city, so as not to hurt people." Innocent. Mr. Zheng personally vouched for it, otherwise so many people armed with weapons, Mr. Zhifu would not dare to let them enter the city at will."

Li Baolu was thoughtful, "Master Zheng has a high prestige in Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Master Zheng is a well-known benevolent person here. He built bridges and paved roads, and helped the victims. He did good deeds, but he is not very famous in Henan. There is the Huaiqing Liu family in the north and the Runing Qin family in the south. In Kaifeng Mansion, the Shang family is the one with the most prestige. His family has produced second-rank officials in the frontier, and now there are many children who are officials in the court, and they are also known as great benevolent people. The Zheng family is not so good. His family There are a lot of fields and shops, but I have never been an official, but I have a good reputation in the Jianghu."

Generally, anyone who is an official, as long as he is not a fool, will become a good person in the mouth of the people. Li Baolu only half believes in the reputation of these "good people", but she is very curious about Master Zheng's status in the Jianghu. People from the rivers and lakes get together, do you want to be so exaggerated?

But this curiosity was quickly captured by her, she felt a little hungry, "What special dishes do you have in Kaifeng Prefecture? Where can you find the most authentic dishes?"

When it comes to eating, Xiaoer's spirits perk up, and his eyes shine brightly: "When it comes to the delicious food in Kaifeng, the four treasures are the first to be recommended. Chicken, duck, goose and quail are used as ingredients. The four treasures are thick and delicious. The fresh and wild flavors are gathered together, mellow and tangy, fresh and delicious, the best chef will be the chef in the back kitchen of our inn, and there are carp baked noodles..."

When Gu Jingyun came out with wet hair, Xiao Ergang mentioned the mutton steamed buns of Liu Laoxie on the streets of Kaifeng. Just smelling that aroma makes your mouth water.

Gu Jingyun didn't know if smelling the fragrance would make his mouth water, he only knew that his mouth would water just after hearing the mistress describe Li Baolu.

He stood at the screen and looked at Xiao Er quietly. Xiao Er shuddered, turned around and saw Gu Jingyun, and his dangerous intuition made him stop talking immediately: "In short, there are many delicious things in Kaifeng Mansion, madam You can tell me anytime you ask. My little one will go to the back kitchen to see if the food you ordered is ready."

After saying that, he saluted Gu Jingyun, bowed and retreated, and ran as soon as he got out of the yard, oh my god, he was scared to death just now.

Gu Jingyun handed Li Baolu a handkerchief, "Wipe the drool."

Li Baolu immediately took the saliva wipe, and only after she finished wiping did she realize that she had been cheated. Gu Jingyun said with a smile in his eyes, "Is that how you love to eat?"

"The joys in life, apart from the constant exploration of the unknown, are only delicious food and sleep that can make me fascinated."

"...It turns out that the fun in your life also includes exploring the unknown. I have never seen it before."

"That's because you have bad eyesight. You read too much at night. You should go out more in the future and look at the green mountains and green waters, otherwise you will become blind in the future."

"You're the only one with a lot of nonsense."

Li Baolu said with a serious face: "No, this is the advice given to you by a doctor with excellent medical skills."

"Then doctor, how long will it take me to get sick with wet hair like this?"

Li Baolu got up and pulled a dry towel to twist his hair, pouted and said: "You are too old to twist your own hair, in case I'm not around you in the future, you will always wear it like this?"

Gu Jingyun smiled coldly, "Where can you go without me?"

"For example, I went out to eat delicious food and didn't come back. For example, if I decided to live with my best friend and not go home?"

Gu Jingyun twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Uh, I don't have one now, and there will always be one in the future. I'm only thirteen years old, and I'm still young."

"No," Gu Jingyun said lightly: "You are a married woman, those little girls will not want to play with you, and those married women, your age is too different from them, you will not There are common topics. Instead of looking for girlfriends who don’t know if they exist, you might as well stay by my side and talk to me if you have anything.”

But you are a man!

Li Baolu pursed her lips, twisted his hair vigorously, dropped the veil and said, "Okay, comb it yourself!"

Gu Jingyun took out a comb to comb his hair indifferently, and casually took a ribbon to tie it up.

Baolu went to the bathroom to wash up, and after she finished washing, Gu Jingyun picked up a dry towel and wiped her hair.

Li Baolu also sat on the chair as usual and let him rub it, because the scalp was very comfortable when massaged with her fingers, she felt a little drowsy.

Seeing her eyes half closed, the corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth curled up slightly.

Gu Jingyun dried her hair carefully, and then picked up the comb to comb her hair. Li Baolu really fell asleep comfortably.

When she woke up, she was already on the bed. Gu Jingyun was putting one hand on her waist and the other under her head, facing her and letting out a slight and long breathing sound, apparently in a deep sleep.

Li Baolu was in a trance for a moment, feeling as if she didn't know what night it was or where this place was, and it took her a while before her memory gradually came back.

She remembered that she was waiting for lunch when she got out of the shower and washed her hair...

Thinking of having lunch, Li Baolu's stomach growled. She held her belly and blushed, and hurriedly went to see Gu Jingyun. Seeing that he was still asleep, she quietly lifted the quilt and got up in peace.

The room was dark, except for a thin layer of light from the moonlight outside the window. Li Baolu blinked, and only after her eyes got used to the darkness did she begin to search for something to eat.

A faint scent wafted from the outer room, Li Baolu followed the scent and found a stove with charcoal on it at the foot of the outer room wall, with a tightly covered small pot driving on it.

Li Baolu opened it, and a burst of aroma wafted into her nostrils. She couldn't help pressing her stomach, and when she lifted the pot, she was about to connect the pot. There was a soft sound, and then the room lit up. Gu Jingyun of the candle.

Seeing his wife squatting on the ground pitifully holding a pot, Gu Jingyun couldn't help being both amused and distressed, "Is that what you plan to eat?"

"if not?"

"There are noodles and cabbage on the table, go get them." Gu Jingyun put the lamp holder aside, knelt down and blew the charcoal on fire, and quickly boiled the soup in the pot. A handful of cabbage...

"This is a set of four treasures I specially ordered for you. Since you have not woken up, let the charcoal warm it. You eat it first. If it is not enough, ask the waiter to bring some supper."
