Young man, please stay

Chapter 397 Special
a few days later.

"Tanghulu~"

"Newly arrived roast chicken! Try it! It's so authentic~"

The Northern Hunting Team returned to the palace in the morning. In the afternoon, the young man, dressed in gorgeous clothes, strolled leisurely on the street as if he didn't care about his relatives.

"Okay, okay! It still has to be like the everyday world!"

Qin Lang took a deep breath. He hadn't been back to the capital for many days. He felt relaxed all over.
Especially after experiencing life and death in the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls, it felt like every day was a year. Now that Qin Lang has returned to the capital, he feels as excited as when he just came down from the Tianshan Mountains.

tread.

Suddenly, Qin Lang stopped while walking.

"Ouch!"

A petite body behind him bumped softly into his sturdy back.

"Uncle... why did you stop suddenly..."

The follower behind him was Tao'er, who was pouting and rubbing her delicate little nose.

……

Her son-in-law wanted to go out shopping and relax, so in order to have someone to take care of him, Taoer took the initiative to ask to take her with him.

After all, she was just a little girl, and she had a very uncomfortable time staying in the north. She was so happy to follow her brother-in-law that she even jumped while walking. She accidentally didn't look at the road and was bumped by her brother-in-law who stopped suddenly.

……

"Hey, I think this one is pretty good, do you want it?"

"?"

Tao'er was startled and looked at the place where the brother-in-law pointed out to sell candied haws. Needless to say, she was really tempted.

You know, as a maid in a wealthy family, or even a personal maid of a noble lady, what delicious food has she not eaten? What snacks has she not tasted?

Besides, this is the capital, not the north, and Tao'er doesn't need to steal snacks at the banquet anymore. Why should she care about a mere candied haws?
However, in reality, there are differences even between candied haws.

For example, the one we are selling now has a rosy, translucent and evenly coated sugar coating, which is neither too thin nor too thick.

Don't underestimate this craftsmanship, as it is crucial to the taste of the candied haws. Not to mention the vendors, in fact even the royal chefs may not be able to get it right because they have little experience in making this kind of snack.

Secondly, the hawthorns are big, round and plump, which is very rare at this time of year.

Therefore, it can be said that this candied haws is definitely a rare treasure!

But Taoer swallowed her saliva, and first of all, she had to maintain her reserve, and waved her little hand:

"Son-in-law, don't spend money. Tao'er doesn't like to eat this."

"Oh?"

Qin Lang smiled:

"You really don't like it?"

"Ok!"

Gulu…

Tao'er nodded, then swallowed her saliva loudly on purpose, staring at the candied haws intently with her big eyes blinking. Then she realized that her brother-in-law hadn't responded after staring at him for such a long time, so she took a peek and found that her brother-in-law was still staring at her with a half-smile.

"!"

It’s broken, my careful plan has been seen through...

Tao'er's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and her eyes looked around, but she didn't dare to look at Qin Lang.

Qin Lang was enjoying the show very much.

This little maid is so funny.

"I'll ask you again, do you want it or not?"

"want!"

This time Tao'er was very honest. She hugged her brother-in-law's arm with her eyes shining.

"Row."

Qin Lang directly took out a silver ingot and handed it to the vendor, who was shaking all over.

"I'll take all of this."

"Okay... okay... okay! Thank you, sir!"

"Actually, I'm a young man."

"Thank you, young hero!"

……

In this way, a scene that attracted a lot of attention appeared on the street.

A handsome young man in noble appearance, carrying a pile of candied haws on his left shoulder, and a cute little maidservant eating the candied haws on his right hand. Anyone could not help but take a second look at him.

Especially some other maids who followed their masters out, when they heard Tao'er chattering and calling him "son-in-law" from time to time, they were curious and their eyes were full of envy.

...Alas, look at the maids in other people's homes...

Not only is the uncle serving so young and handsome, but he is also so favored...

Let’s not talk about anything else. Just ask yourself, in this huge capital city, how many sons-in-law would buy a whole bunch of candied haws for their maids?

This is not a matter of financial resources. Which young man can't afford a candied haws? It's a matter of attitude!

If you don’t believe me, just look, not only did he buy it, he even carried it himself!
Tsk, looking at her appearance, she isn’t even married yet, and yet she’s like this. I don’t even dare to imagine what it’ll be like after she gets married!

……

Bathed in these envious gazes from time to time, Tao'er felt extremely proud for the first time. She ate candied haws while holding her brother-in-law's arm along the way. Her little face was rosy with happiness and pride, and her chest was a little more erect than usual, as if to compete with the lady for height.

"Okay, I've already eaten so many skewers. I can't eat anymore today."

"what?"

"What? You might get a toothache if you eat so much. Take some home today and share some with others."

"oh oh."

That's natural.

Tao'er knew that the "others" mentioned by the son-in-law undoubtedly referred to the Madam and Master Qianshou, but...

"I eat my brother-in-law's candied haws every night... I still haven't had enough..."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"No...nothing!"

Tao'er covered her mouth and dared not say anything more.

The reason why she knew the secret of "Tanghulu" was that she learned it from Xing'er during the Northern Hunting.

After all, Xing'er had seen with her own eyes the strange, slightly sticky wooden candied haws that fell out of the emperor's body in the dragon chariot...

But it is also true that eating too many real candied haws will damage your teeth. Taoer's little teeth are so white that they must not be damaged, otherwise she will definitely be disliked when serving her brother-in-law.

She was very obedient. She said she didn't want to eat, so she didn't eat. She looked around and continued to walk around with her brother-in-law.

As a result, not long after, she was taken to a brothel by her brother-in-law.

"Everyone, please go away. The Mid-Autumn Festival special issue of Zhu Yan will not be printed again. You can find a way to borrow it or wait until next year. Please look forward to the New Year special issue."

At the entrance of Ningxiang Pavilion, as a girl finished speaking, the women lined up at the entrance began to sigh.

"Why is this so..."

"Oh, I thought I had some left over from the special issue of 'Nichang', but it turned out..."

"Ahhh! My heart is itching! Who do you think researched this supplement?"

"Good sister, is there really not a single copy left?"

……

The crowd was bustling and noisy. The girl was a little impatient and wanted to chase people away again with a forced smile, but she saw a strange man carrying a pile of candied haws walking towards her not far away.

"Girl, I heard that Zhu Yan has a Mid-Autumn Festival special issue. Can I take a look at it?"

The man's words naturally aroused curiosity and disdain from others.

“Why are those selling candied haws trying to grab it too…”

"And did you hear that? He didn't say buy, he said want? Is that okay?"

"Hush, don't talk nonsense. This is the capital, there are all kinds of people. Look at him, does he look like a pawn?"

However, to everyone's surprise, the girl from Ningxiang Pavilion's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Qin Lang, and she immediately bowed respectfully:
"Yes, sir. Yes, I will go get it for you right away."

"Thank you."

As the man clasped his fists, the noise around him instantly quieted down.

No one questioned why Ningxiang Pavilion suddenly had a special edition for this man when it had been sold out.

Because among the people present, there were many women from royal and noble families. They knew very well that the Mid-Autumn Festival special of "Zhu Yan" that they could not buy even with their status, but this man carrying the candied haws could get it directly.

We all hang out in Beijing. In this place where many talented people are hiding, who doesn’t know what this means?
The crowd was now only able to whisper to each other cautiously.

"Who is he? Does anyone know him?"

"I feel like I saw him on the street last month... I can't really say."

"To be honest, this guy is really good-looking... Tsk tsk, I wonder which lady's kid is here to run errands."

"Wait! The maidservant beside him seems to be from... that lady's family!"

"No, who is it?"

"Oh, don't ask, don't ask, mind your own business, let's go."
