I don't want to play anymore

At noon, the reception in Yangsheng Building was very lively, and it was not easy to find a clean place with few people to eat.

Since the commander of the Imperial Army changed, the emperor is much happier than before.Today it was even more whimsical to go to the restaurant that Gu Jingyuan often goes to try it.

Fortunately, Gu Jingyuan had experience, so he sent someone to book a private room in advance, otherwise, he really didn't know when he would be able to get a seat.

Entering the small room, Long Yanzhao, who had changed into a dragon robe and ordinary clothes, motioned Ah Yuan to take a seat on the inside, and he himself flipped his robe, and sat beside Gu Jingyuan.

The emperor sighed sincerely: "I didn't expect the business of this restaurant to be so prosperous."

The small room is only separated by a few screens, which can't block the noise outside at all. Gu Jingyuan said: "There are always many guests in Yangsheng Building."

Soon a waiter came to serve tea with them, Gu Jingyuan took the initiative to open the teapot, and said to the emperor while pouring tea: "Here are a few signature dishes, and they are all pretty good. Your Majesty will try them later."

There was a lot of noise outside, so if the two of you paid more attention and lowered your volume to talk, you wouldn't be afraid of being overheard. Gu Jingyuan still called His Majesty Long Yanzhao.

The emperor was about to leave the palace suddenly, Gu Jingyuan was caught off guard.

He was a little restless all the way, so he seemed a little silent.

But he seemed to like the lively atmosphere in this restaurant, Mr. Gu was in a good mood again, and even talked a little more than usual:

"If you run a restaurant, you must either have good service, or have unique dishes that other restaurants cannot imitate, or it is economical, high-quality and low-cost. These three points are all available here, so the business is booming...Your Majesty, this is jujube tea. You can try it. taste."

Long Yanzhao followed his words and took a sip of the hot tea in his hand.

Different from the high-grade tea he is used to drinking, this tea is sweet but not greasy, with a hint of the unique gentle smell of red dates, which is refreshing.

Long Yanzhao sighed: "There is such a miraculous tea drink?"

Gu Jingyuan smiled and said: "It's just a kind of fruit tea, the emperor can usually drink similar tea in the palace, but the content in the palace is more rich and elegant, but this tea is just boiled with red dates. "

As he spoke, he took a sip himself.

"Red jujubes are warm in nature, can be boiled and drunk all year round, and have the effect of nourishing qi and nourishing blood. Although the tea is simple and not worth a lot of money, it will be provided to all new customers. Think that’s unique and thoughtful.”

Although the brows and eyes of the eloquent and eloquent young man were still downcast, he was full of vigor, exuding a kind of restrained self-confidence, so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

He seems to know everything, everything.

And the hustle and bustle of the market made him a little more smokey.

He was still the elegant and quiet Mr. Gu, but more lively.

It's like the difference between beauty with makeup and no makeup.

The former is otherworldly.

The latter is rich and beautiful.

In short, it is too beautiful.

Long Yanzhao felt that what he said was very reasonable, "This store is really clever."

There is hot tea to drink as soon as you enter the door, and any diner will feel warm.In addition, the store is so warm and hospitable, and the popularity of passers-by is good, so the business is naturally booming.

Long Yanzhao sighed: "Unexpectedly, Ah Yuan still has research on this way of doing business."

"I think it's interesting to open a restaurant, and I like to think about it when I have nothing to do..." Gu Jingyuan chuckled: "It's rare that the emperor doesn't reject these things and is willing to listen, so I dare to say more."

"How could I not want to listen?" Long Yanzhao looked at him, he always wanted to go out of the palace to have a look, the intention was to learn more about these ways of doing business, so that he could cultivate imperial merchants and promote a great economy in the future.

But the words turned around in his mouth, and his eyes were full of the scene of Gu Jingyuan's peachy eyes and crooked smiles. Somehow, the content he spit out became:

"I am willing to listen to whatever Ah Yuan says."

As soon as the words blurted out, Long Yanzhao couldn't help sighing in his heart: I'm probably a fucking fool.

But when he saw Gu Jingyuan blushing a little because of his words, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, wishing he could tease him more and make him blush even more...

He said to Gu Jingyuan: "Our ancestors put more emphasis on agriculture than business, but the current situation in Dayi is no longer what it was when they conquered the world. We need to analyze the specific issues. Ah Yuan will continue to talk about it. In terms of business, you What else do you realize?"

Although he is a scholar, farmer, businessman, but the emperor does not discriminate in this regard.

He wanted to hear it, but Gu Jingyuan didn't shirk it.I gave him a few examples and talked about my thoughts in detail.

The noise in the restaurant is not equal to the quietness in Long Yanzhao's bedroom, but it is just like this, the artistic conception is also quite different, it will make people feel fresh instead.

What's more, they were sitting next to each other.

One spoke earnestly, the other listened intently, the more Gu Jingyuan spoke, the closer their heads were, and when Xiaoer came in to serve the dishes, the emperor's handsome face was already very close at hand.

His eyes suddenly fell into the deep and bright eyes of the other party, and Gu Jingyuan could only regain his senses, only feeling that the distance between them was so close that they were about to kiss each other.

... This is obviously the other party's intention to tease him!

He avoided it in a panic, and straightened his waist again, but his face was rosy, like the rosy clouds in the evening.

On the contrary, the waiter who served the food only thought that they were just talking about something, the surroundings were noisy, and they got together because they couldn't hear what the other party was saying, so they didn't take it to heart.

After setting up the dishes without looking sideways, the waiter politely retreated, Long Yanzhao couldn't help laughing when he saw Gu Jingyuan touching his face with his hands.

Gu Jingyuan blinked his eyes, tried his best to pretend nothing happened, and said calmly: "This place is naturally incomparable to the imperial meals that His Majesty often eats, but the food is fresh and carefully prepared. Your Majesty, try it."

"Okay, then I'll try it." Long Yanzhao picked up the chopsticks, but still laughed out loud.

He looked at Gu Jingyuan, who was dressed in common clothes, and never thought that when there were outsiders around, the other party would be so mean-spirited.

In the past, Gu Jingyuan was so easily shy when they were alone together.

Of course, when two people withdraw from others and are alone together, they are often on the bed.

But at that time, apart from blushing, Gu Jingyuan was still bold and resolute, daring to do anything.

But now, they are just getting closer in crowded places, and the young people are like this...

Seeing Gu Jingyuan, who pretended to be nothing even though his face was blushing, and had no desires, Long Yanzhao suddenly wanted to really do something to him in this large crowd.

He wanted to push the other party onto the big table full of ingredients, he wanted to untie the plain clothes on him, he wanted to see how Gu Jingyuan would react at that time...

"emperor?"

In Gu Jingyuan's clear voice, Long Yanzhao came back to himself.

The bad thoughts were temporarily suppressed by him, and Long Yanzhao tasted several dishes one by one according to Gu Jingyuan's words.

"feel good."

Although the emperor said this "good", the scope is very large.

It can be delicious food, or it can be ordinary dishes with ordinary taste.

Although Long Yanzhao is the son of heaven, he is not picky about food and cannot compare the taste of food due to the influence of his life abroad when he was young.

Food that can be eaten and will not spoil is good.

He won't be picky.

If the young emperor was not the emperor, he might be the only simple and noble son in the capital.

Long Yanzhao usually eats light and simple food in the palace, and this principle is also followed in the dishes Gu Jingyuan ordered, which are basically light and nourishing dishes.

It's just that there is a dish of boiled beef. The thinly sliced ​​beef is covered with a layer of bright red and shiny red soup, and a lot of chili and pepper are sprinkled on it. It smells very fragrant and looks spicy.

The dish was placed in front of Gu Jingyuan, who had been busy serving dishes to the emperor, and he didn't serve many chopsticks himself.

But eight times out of ten chopsticks he picked up the stewed beef, and even his usually light-colored thin lips were slightly stained with bright red.

Long Yanzhao usually doesn't notice these things.

But maybe those two thin lips have become so bright and lustrous at this moment that people can't pay attention to it. The emperor couldn't help but wonder: "So Ah Yuan can eat spicy food?"

Gu Jingyuan smiled softly, giving an affirmative answer.

Long Yanzhao himself has no passion for tongue and tongue, and he rarely pays attention to what the people around him like to eat.

The only person he has noticed is Cheng Yinzhuo.

Because Ah Qi can't eat chili.

Coughing after eating.

Once they ate barbecue together, A Qi just dipped some chili powder, and coughed so much that his eyes were watery, and he almost lost his breath.

So he remembered it.

Later, I only ate light food, but also because I got used to it since then.Light food is good by default.

However, the winter temperature in the capital is also low, not much warmer than in the north, so it is still possible to eat more spicy food to warm up the body.

Since Gu Jingyuan can eat and likes to eat, Long Yanzhao said: "I remember that there are cooks from Sichuan and Sichuan in the palace. From now on, if Ah Yuan wants to eat anything, he can directly tell Hong Taiquan and ask them to make it."

Gu Jingyuan was not polite to him, just said: "Okay."

"By the way, does Ah Yuan like to open restaurants?" During the meal, Long Yanzhao said to Gu Jingyuan: "Then I will fund you and find a piece of land in this capital city. How about Ah Yuan being the boss behind the scenes?"

As he was talking, the Ninth Five-Year Master became interested.

On weekdays, they devote all their attention to government affairs, and rarely discuss such things that have nothing to do with government affairs. Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere of the surrounding market, Long Yanzhao thinks it would be a good idea to open a restaurant with Gu Jingyuan.

Gu Jingyuan, on the other hand, still smiled lightly after hearing this, but refused: "How can opening a restaurant be done overnight? The situation between the court and China is still unstable, and I can't concentrate my energy now. I will think about it later... Not too late."

After eating too much spicy food, Gu Jingyuan looked more lively than usual.

Like the splendid scene when a budding flower suddenly blooms, it is low-key and calm when dealing with people on weekdays, and occasionally the colors are bright and refreshing.

Long Yanzhao only took it as his consent.Can't help laughing: "Then it's done."

After the meal, the emperor didn't intend to just go back to the palace, but wanted to stroll around.

But Gu Jingyuan looked at the sky outside, and suddenly felt a little awkward.

Waiting a while is actually the time for him to meet Yang Lin at the appointment.

After receiving the help of the young master, the Juren friend of the second son heard that Mr. Gu was responsible for this incident, so he wanted to meet Gu Jingyuan and thank him in person.

Gu Jingyuan had no airs in this regard, not to mention that he was Yang Lin's friend, so he agreed.

As for the time, it is reasonable to say that the emperor is usually very busy and never restricts his coming and going. Gu Jingyuan can just find a reason to leave the palace.

It's just that I didn't expect that His Majesty would go out of the palace suddenly this day...

Gu Jingyuan said: "I still have something to do...how about you go shopping by yourself, Your Majesty?"

"Oh?" Long Yanzhao noticed his abnormality, raised his handsome eyebrows, and the young emperor felt strange: "What's the matter?"

Gu Jingyuan answered honestly: "I have an appointment with Young Master Yang today."

"What's the matter?" Long Yanzhao chuckled, and couldn't help becoming interested: "Where is the appointment? Just right, I will go with Ah Yuan."

"..." Gu Jingyuan could only tell about the other guests.

He said again: "Second Young Master, they didn't know that Your Majesty would go with you."

"No problem." Long Yanzhao spread out his folding fan and shook it: "Although I haven't met Yang Jin's brother a few times, I guess he won't think I'm in the way."

"It's not like this..." Gu Jingyuan paused, Qingjuan's face almost became tangled.

Even though Yang Ershao mostly wanted him to pass on messages between himself and the prime minister, most of the things he said were official matters.

But in his heart, he still felt that the meeting with Yang Lin was a personal meeting.

Since it is a private meeting, you can bring friends along.

It's just that once this person is replaced by Long Yanzhao, he will feel weird and uncomfortable.

He still declined politely: "Otherwise... let the other guards accompany you for a stroll first, and I will return as soon as I go."

……

Gu Jingyuan has always been obedient to what he says, and rarely shirks like this.

This made Long Yanzhao suddenly realize that the young man didn't want him to go with him.

It was...unexpected.

The smile froze slightly on his face, and the young man with low brows and pleasing eyes, but with a bit of stubbornness in front of him, Long Yanzhao put away his folding fan.

"In this case, I have to go and see."
