Jingchen, second floor of Fengya Lou .
“Miss, this restaurant is really unique ah,” said Mo Hen, looking at the so-called ‘sofa’ placed in the middle of the second floor . She found it quite familiar-looking . After a long while, she suddenly remembered, “Mis... Young master, is this not what you...”
Isn’t it almost the same as the one in the valley? Still, this one is not as nice-looking!
Just before the last sentence was finished, she was interrupted by Ye Shaohua . “Can the cake not block your mouth?”
Mo Hen ate the cake, feeling aggrieved, and pointed to the other dishes on the table: “Young master, this is pasta, this is ice cream, this is juice...”
While pouring water for Ye Shaohua, she introduced the dishes to Ye Shaohua and couldn’t help but exclaim: “It’s truly extremely tasty! I don’t know how this shopkeeper can think of so many tasty novelties . I heard that this restaurant, the first under heaven, also makes hotpot . Miss, we have time to try it once, right? Speaking of this, I don’t know how this second son had this idea . ”
If it were not for her own family’s young miss, then that second son would be Mo Hen’s most admired person .
This Fengya Lou was called Fengya Lou because it was a place where scholars exchange with each other . Two years ago, a guest of Fengya Lou also became the top scorer in the palace examination . From this, Fengya Lou had instant success .
In the past three years, officials in the capital have been accustomed to looking for guests there, and the environment there was also really good .
“Only appears good,” Ye Shaohua shook her head after taking a sip of juice, then pointed her finger at the juice: “This juice will taste better after putting pectin enzyme in it . If there is time, I will let you try it . ”
Bai Zhenzhen should not be very good in modern chemistry, otherwise she would have made it taste better with pectin enzyme .
Ye Shaohua looked at Mo Hen eating . She did not feel like touching the things on the table herself, but Mo Hen liked this fresh experience . In fact, these things here all tasted quite ordinary .
Although she didn’t know herself what her family’s young miss’s pectin enzyme was, there were too many strange things that her miss knew, and she couldn’t remember the explaination even if she asked, so she didn’t ask anymore .
Ye Shaohua, who had eaten great dinners at Michelin restaurants in modern times, was not interested in these basic dishes .
When Mo Hen was finished, the two of them were ready to go downstairs . However, they didn’t expect the second floor to be full of people .
“Sour plums at lunch left my teeth feeling all feathery .
Banana trees cast green across gauze window-screens .
A long day . I Wake from a noon nap empty of thought,
all idleness, watch kids catch falling willow blossoms . ”
After reading the poem, a person couldn’t help but sight . “To make a poem of such high quality, second miss Bai is really of great talent . We are far from your level . Furthermore, this calligraphy, to couple strength and gentleness, it’s really not easy to do . Your title of most talented woman is well-deserved, a model for women . ”
Other people echoed his words .
Bai Qianhu heard the words, he was very proud and raised his chest . The general’s mansion had a wonderful woman . Who would dare to say that she was an ignorant person with no brain?
Ye Shaohua didn’t listen, but Mo Hen behind her, heard the words . She couldn’t help but take a quick look at the verse hanging in the hall . She whispered, “Nothing great about it . ”
This sentence was very light, but Bai Qianhu, who had been trained in martial arts since childhood, heard it . This was the first time in the past few years that he heard someone look down on his sister . At that time, his temper came up: “You(informal), this wicked slave, understand this poem’s meaning? And this innovative calligraphic style, in this world, who else can write it?!”
Ye Shaohua did not appear in front of people for three years . Moreover, this time, she was dressed in men’s clothes . Her disguise had reached perfection, so she was convinced that the Bai siblings could not recognize her .
Mo Hen looked at her family’s Miss and couldn’t help but stand up . “Whoever says no one can write it? I know one person!”
When they heard this, most of the people present stopped . The competitive Bai Zhenzhen also put down her writing brush and looked at Mo Hen . With an extremely nice-looking face, she said: “I don’t know which talent can?”
“Naturally, I’m talking about the most talented woman of Jingchen, Ye family’s eldest miss, Ye Shaohua!” Mo Hen said very proudly .
With these words, the curious scholars who were present were shaking their heads in an instant . How could the current Ye Shaohua compare with Bai Zhenzhen?
Bai Qianhu was not as subtle as these scholars, he laughed, “Ye family’s eldest miss? Then, you go ask her if she dares to come out? Three years ago, she lost the poetry competition against my little sister . The most talented woman of Jingchen? Is it the first time you came to Jingchen? Don’t you know that the title of most talented woman has long changed hands?”
It’s been three years since the Go competition, and Ye Shaohua had been in the valley since then . In the past three years, Bai Zhenzhen’s poems, “Bring in the wine” and “A river of blossoms”, were poems scholars and literary persons loved so much they couldn’t part with, and it became popular all over the capital .
Not only that, but her own innovative Liu calligraphy was also widely loved by the public .
Her music scores are also widely spread in the streets, and the imperial court’s grandmaster wouldn’t dare to play “Guangling San” rashly .
What’s more, her chess composition displayed in Fengya Lou was still unsolvable .
“You...” The calligraphy of her family’s miss had been praised by the mysterious godly master for its unique style . Mo Hen didn’t quite understand this, but she saw the calligraphy of her family’s miss, her writing brush moving with heroic power, her charm extremely outstanding . The average man’s calligraphy would not be as majestic and impressive as hers .
She only knew that this Bai Zhenzhen calligraphy was okay, but she couldn’t help but marvel at her miss’s calligraphy!
“Doggie,” Ye Shaohua did not have anything to add . She “pa” opened the folding fan with a slamming sound, and she slightly narrowed her eyes, the look on her face noble and indifferent . “Let’s go back . ”
Even if she was disguised, even if she was in men’s clothing, her delicate face, which looked like it was drawn exquisitely with a brush, still made people not dare to look straight at her .
Even Bai Qianhu who criticized people couldn’t help but turn back to look at her face . A man growing up to have this face, wasn’t it too rare?
Ye Shaohua listened to Mo Hen’s talking all the way back . In the end, they finally arrived at the Prime Minister’s mansion .
Compared with the front yard who was as busy as a marketplace of three years ago, the current prime minister’s mansion couldn’t be said to be in dire straits, but the number of people appearing in the yard had been reduced .
When she returned to the mansion, the lady(YSH) was escorted to her boudoir . She changed into a snow-white brocade dress . The skirt was embroidered with vivid and lifelike plum blossoms and also wore red muslin clothes on top . The whole person instantly became elegant, and, walking step by step, was like a moving picture, magnificent and threatening .
Not to mention Madam Ye, even Mo Hen, who saw her everyday, stared blankly for a long time . Inwardly, she felt apprehensive . Since Miss was even more eye-catching than three years ago, she did not know which giant among men could deserve her .
Madam Ye was perfectly contented with Ye Shaohua, in the prime minister’s study . As the two stood behind a screen, Madam Ye pointed her finger to a corner in the front and whispered: «Do you see? That person is Fangtuo . The top scorer in the palace examination from two years ago, distinguished, elegant and accomplished . He has no wives and concubines . He is the most gifted scholar of Jingchen . Your dad praises him without cease . He is also a close friend of your big brother . Does he suit your taste?”
Hearing what was said, Ye Shaohua sighed, but did not interrupt Madam Ye’s passionate speech .
Because she knew that this Fangtuo was a member of Ba Zhenzhen’s secret fund organization, and Fangtuo also knew that the second son who was famous all over the world and second miss Bai were actually the same person .
He had seen second miss Bai’s innovative ideas, and her outstanding talent . They had long been sympathetic to each other . How could he possibly see her, the eldest miss of Ye family, who had been silent for three years?
