It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 434 A bowl of wontons in a deep alley
When Sima Zhong was deposed for the first time, Sima Rui was among the people who sent them to Jinyong City.

At that time, he was still a young prince with no military power or influence, so he could only obey Sima Lun's orders. Later, he often drank with the disciples of Langya's high-ranking family and formed a deep friendship. In particular, he had a very close friend, Director Wang, who planned his future development plan and even rescued him from danger during the war.

As a member of the Sima family, he is not outstanding and has no ambition. When Sima Yue rewarded officials and ministers, he conveniently gave him a regular attendant. However, he said it was because his wife's family members were all in Jiangnan and he wanted to go to Jiangnan to eat, drink and have fun. As a result, what no one expected was that he actually made his power bigger and stronger. By now, he was already a force that should not be underestimated.

What's more, after such a long period of battle, even Sima Yue was seriously injured. What's more, there are still continuous invasions from the northern Hu tribe Liu Yuan and Shi Le, and the situation of the Jin Dynasty is also very critical. This time, Sima Rui suddenly came to Luoyang. What was he going to do?
The gongs and drums were still beating, but Sima Rui didn't open his mouth to sing, he just performed a neat martial arts show and then retreated.

The people who gathered around waited for a while, and then dispersed when they saw that no one came out.

"Sitting over there seems to be Princess Langya and Mother Yu Meng." Mao Hongmao whispered in Yang Xianrong's ear, "The married princess, the two of them have a very good relationship."

Yang Xianrong was convinced of his information.

"Who asked them to come?"

"I've never heard of this. However, look at these two people, they look like they came out incognito, without any bodyguards." Mao Hongmao looked around again, "There are only two maids around the princess."

Yang Xianrong also looked over, and sure enough, Princess Yu was sitting there, talking to the two women standing next to her with a smile. She looked to be in her thirties, slightly fat, but looked very upright.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Yang Xianrong and the others looked a bit conspicuous standing here.

She lowered her head slightly and left Jiqingfang with her people, planning to find a place to eat first.

"Or we can go further and go to the alley next to Taixueyuan where Sima Yue lives. There is a small wonton shop that tastes very good." Mao Hongmao suggested, "That boss is also our embroiderer. , the queen can also go and see her.”

"Okay." After struggling for a long time, she did feel hungry, so she followed Mao Hongmao and walked some more alleys, looking at many markets and alleys, before arriving at the small wonton shop.

This shop is really small and hidden in the depths of the alley. If you don't have an acquaintance leading the way, you will definitely not be able to find it.

Because it was past time, there were no diners sitting here.

The proprietress, a fat woman about forty years old, was scrubbing several old tables and chairs with a rag, and then called her husband behind to see if there was still water in the water tank.

Seeing many people walking over, she raised her head and glanced briefly, and said loudly: "Hey, it's already passed the time, so I don't have anything to eat."

"Yes, but we are hungry." Mao Hongmao walked in front and looked at her with a smile. The woman raised her head suddenly, looked at Mao Hongmao intently, and then tears flowed out. "Oh, brother, why did you come here! Sit down, sit down!"

"This is the Queen." Mao Hongmao lowered his voice, "Come and see me."

"Hey..." This woman was about to kneel down and kowtow, but Yang Xianrong grabbed her and whispered: "Don't kneel down and come out privately."

"Hey, look how dirty the hem of this skirt is? Come in and wipe it." The woman reacted very quickly. She bent down and touched the hem of Yang Xianrong's skirt before she stood up and said with a smile, "There are so many people here." , It’s also a big deal, wait for me, I’ll go prepare it quickly.”

"Thank you very much, boss lady." Mao Hongmao smiled very naturally and took everyone to sit down, no different from ordinary diners.

"Liu Erniang, she and Liu Meiren served the late emperor together. They are not related by blood, but they are sworn sisters and have a good relationship." Mao Hongmao introduced the background of the landlady. "If anything happens to Mrs. Liu, she will ask Liu Erniang to pass on the news. Hey, I just didn't expect that Sima Chi would become the emperor and cause such a thing."

"It's all over." Yang Xianrong responded in a low voice. She watched Liu Erniang move very quickly, relighting the fire and burning water, and started kneading the dough with very neat hands. "This flour is very valuable, how can she have it?"

"Ask her." Mao Hongmao smiled happily, scooping up a bowl of noodle soup and bringing it to Yang Xianrong, "Try it, it's sweet."

Sure enough, it's very sweet and fragrant.

Niu Dashan, Liu Erniang's husband, looked very honest and honest. He was carrying a basin in one hand and a charcoal fire in the other. He looked very strong. Liu Erniang quickly took the basin, added some water to the noodle soup, and said with a smile: "It was all boiled just now, and I want to take a sip myself. However, since there are many of you, I will have more water." Make some. The flour is grown in my own land. It was flooded last year, but because of the high terrain, it didn't have any impact. My wontons are made with newly grown wild vegetable sprouts and a little minced pork and salt. It’s very delicious. The clear soup is very delicious. Guests must eat more bowls.”

"Only a hundred bowls are sold a day." Mao Hongmao smiled again, "There are a lot of delicacies in the Luoyang market. They suffered from not having enough ingredients before, but now that life has finally slowed down, they have to make some money."

"Yes, sir, don't you know? Although my wonton shop is small, it is very profitable. For example, the prince who lives in Tai Xueyuan likes the small wontons I make, and supplies twenty bowls of them every day. Theirs. Concubine Pei, do you know? I have seen them all before." Liu Erniang smiled happily and spoke very cheerfully, even with a little pride.

"That's awesome." Yang Xianrong agreed, with a smile in his eyes.

However, at this moment, Qin Chaoge suddenly coughed twice and motioned Yang Xianrong to look at the gate of Taixueyuan. A black carriage stopped, and a woman got out first. It turned out to be Princess Yu whom she had just met in Jiqingfang. Naturally, she was followed by Langya King Sima Rui.

These two people were walking in simple clothes, were they going to see Sima Yue?

Are you going to say something secret?

"How about I go take a look?" Liu Erniang asked Mao Hongmao in a low voice, "I can go in and ask Butler Xu how many wontons he needs tomorrow."
