Chapter 887: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (9)

Sitting in a private room of a restaurant in Youcheng with his guards, Huo Qingyang had been waiting for about a quarter of an hour and was already getting a little impatient.

But when he saw Huo Xu come in, he felt even worse: "What's wrong? They don't want to come out?"

"Mrs. Fang and Miss are out and not at the post station." Huo Xu changed the way Huo Qingyang addressed Fang Yunniang. "I waited at the post station for a while, but they didn't come back. I was afraid you might get anxious, so I came here first."

Your concubine is also a concubine, so Fang Yunniang cannot be called "Madam".

Glancing at Huo Xu who had "intentionally" reminded him, Huo Qingyang sighed softly, "You weren't so talkative before. Forget it this time. Next time she says this, avoid her, or she'll cause trouble for you again."

"Yes!" Huo Xu agreed verbally, but he could tell that his master actually took his reminder to heart.

"It's lonely to eat alone. Since they are not here, let's eat together!" Huo Qingyang asked the shopkeeper to start serving the dishes and asked Huo Xu to sit next to him.

As they drank and chatted, Huo Qingyang felt as if he had returned to the age of twenty.

At that time, he was not yet the heir of the marquisate, but he was the only son of his father, so he was not in a hurry.

My favorite thing to do is not reading, but horse racing.

My father often said at that time: "We only have one son in our family. I will not let you become a military officer. You should focus on studying."

"What's the point of studying? I just like the life in the general's mansion." Huo Qingyang, who was not yet twenty years old, especially liked the atmosphere of the Shangguan family. "Dad, you don't know, I think Xiaojin is really happy."

At that time, his father would look at him with an expression of disappointment.

In fact, at the beginning, the old marquis did not want to marry into the general's mansion.

Because everyone knows that the General's Mansion has made great contributions. Once there is no more reward, there will be an irreconcilable contradiction between imperial power and military power.

It’s just that happiness comes too suddenly.

Because his son was close to Shangguan Ruojin, His Majesty actually began to pay attention to the Huo family.

The old marquis understood that the Shangguan family’s military achievements could also be rewarded to people who had a good relationship with their family.

After thinking about it for half a year, the old marquis finally asked the matchmaker to go to the general's mansion to propose marriage.

In the second month after the marriage was set, the imperial edict for the heir that he had requested several times finally arrived, and the title of nobility, which was supposed to be downgraded by one level, did not change at all.

Of course, Huo Qingyang only found out about these things later.

The current emperor hates the old aristocracy and always feels that these people should give way to the "newcomers".

After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers, which is a natural thing.

And their Yongning Marquis Mansion was also among those who needed to be cleared out. After all, the achievements of the Marquis Mansion were the work of Huo Qingyang's grandfather's generation.

But because of Shangguan Ruojin, their Huo family retained this glory.

"My Lord, drink less! The liquor in Youcheng is strong." Huo Xu's voice interrupted Huo Qingyang's recollection. "Young Master, I heard that the sweet osmanthus candied lotus root here is very famous. I'll order you a portion to help you sober up."

"Well! I haven't eaten it for many years, you can order one!" Huo Qingyang agreed, but he didn't put down the wine glass in his hand, but filled it up again.

Of course, it was his own choice. On the surface, he couldn't say a word of "no", but when he woke up in the middle of the night, he had actually regretted it a long time ago.

Sweet Osmanthus Lotus Root is a Jiangnan dessert.

Shangguan Ruojin loves to eat, and there is a chef in the general's mansion who came from Jiangnan, and he is the best at making this.

In the summers of the past, when Huo Qingyang went to the general's mansion to find his "sweetheart", he had eaten with her several times.

But after Shangguan Ruojin left the capital, he never tasted the same flavor again.

When the sweet osmanthus lotus root came, Huo Qingyang couldn't accept it - the lotus root was too thin and didn't look as big as a normal lotus root.

"Sir, due to species differences between the north and south, it's inevitable that the lotus root segments will be slightly different!" The waiter, who had obviously seen people complaining about the small size of lotus roots before, explained, "You can try it first. If you really don't like it, I can ask the shopkeeper to return it for you."

I have traveled all over the country and have never seen anyone return food for this reason.

Huo Qingyang was in the mood, but when he took the first bite of lotus root, he was completely stunned - this was the taste of the sweet-scented osmanthus candied lotus root from the general's mansion. Regardless of the size of the lotus root, the sweet-scented osmanthus candied lotus root used in cooking was exactly the same as what he had eaten before.

"Is your chef from Beijing?" Huo Qingyang asked.

The waiter rubbed his head and said, "I'm not sure about that!"

There was no point in making things difficult for a waiter, so Huo Qingyang didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he thought that his sister Huo Qingyue would also like the taste, so he asked the waiter to pack a portion to take back for his sister.

After finishing the food and wine, Huo Qingyang leaned against the window, watching the people coming and going downstairs while eating candied lotus root.

But suddenly, Huo Qingyang saw a familiar face - Luoyue, the maidservant beside Shangguan Ruojin.

Thinking that he was dizzy from drinking too much, he rubbed his eyes to confirm.

It was indeed an illusion. When he watched it for the second time, he did not see the falling moon.

In fact, Huo Qingyang was not mistaken, but Luoyue moved very quickly. When he checked again, Luoyue had already given her young lady all the dried fruits in the shop opposite.

The growing environment in Youcheng is not very good, so basically no fruit is produced.

Shangguan Ruojin often buys some preserved fruits and dried fruits as snacks.

The owner of this dried fruit shop and the restaurant is the same person, Shangguan Rujin, so basically whatever she wants to eat is available there, and she doesn't have to pay anyway, just put it on the bill.

Huo Xu looked up and saw that half of his master was almost leaning out of the window. He quickly pulled him back and said, "Master, what's wrong with you? Do you want the restaurant here to prepare a bowl of hangover soup for you?"

It seems that his master is not in a clear state of mind!

"I'm almost sober now, but I thought I saw Luoyue just now, so I didn't notice where I was." Huo Qingyang supported his head with his hands and said to Huo Xu, "Come and take a look. Am I seeing things, or is Luoyue really down there?"

Luoyue? What a nice name!

The owner of this name was once very important to Huo Xu, and he originally thought that everything would work out in the end.

After all, it is normal for a permanent servant to have a maid.

But there was no more later.

"Hey! What are you thinking about! Come and see if Luoyue is on the street?" Huo Qingyang always felt that he was not drunk at this time, but in fact he was confused, otherwise he would not have looked at the window for such a long time.

Actually, this is only the second floor. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to find it downstairs?
